The cannon fodder girl is rebellious, and she is a fool to catch ghosts and win.

It's dawn, it's winter again, and the streets are deserted, but this bun shop is open all year round, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Jiang Li’s favorites are the steamed stuffed buns stuffed with pickled cabbage and beef and the spicy spicy soup with a lot of meatballs. In the morning, I have a bowl of spicy soup and two beef steamed buns. It’s so comfortable.

The joy of delicious food temporarily drove away Jiang Li's anxiety.

The boss gave two more pot helmets:

"Child, seeing that you are here for breakfast so early, do you work the night shift? Are you a policeman or a doctor?"

Pei Qi and Jiang Li smiled: "We are the police."

The boss gave a thumbs up: "Old man, I can't see the truth. The two police officers have worked hard overtime. I'll give you some more buns!"

Pei Qi and Jiang Li quickly stopped him:

"No, no! Boss, we can't eat that much!"

"That's enough! Thank you boss!"

The boss didn't insist anymore: "The two of you eat first. If you don't have enough, tell me again!"

After the boss finished speaking, he went back to the kitchen to get busy.

After Jiang Li and Pei Qi had eaten their fill, thinking that their colleagues working overtime at the police station hadn't had breakfast yet, they asked their boss to pack some more steamed buns and spicy soup to take away.

The boss refused to take the money, but Pei Qi paid the original price anyway.

It was already dawn, and all the colleagues working overtime in the police station were awakened by the smell of hot steamed buns.

As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Pei Qi and Jiang Li bringing them warmth, and they were so moved that they almost cried.

"Captain Pei, you are really a roundworm in my stomach. You were craving for old Chen's steamed buns when I was just dreaming, so you brought them here!"

"Captain Pei, who is in love, is humane. How could we have been treated like this before?"

Everyone booed.

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Pei Qi stared at them:

"Hurry up and eat your food, steamed buns can't even stop your mouths!"

"Yo yo yo! Captain Pei is shy!"

Everyone was making noises while eating breakfast.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Ouch!"

Everyone looked over: "Wang Yong, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Yong frowned and took out a ring from his mouth: "I'll go! Why is there a ring in this bun!"

"Captain Pei, you must have bought the bun where someone hid the engagement ring, right?"

"No way, who would propose in a steamed bun shop and hide the ring in the steamed bun!"

Pei Qi took the ring and looked at it carefully:

"It doesn't look like a modern wedding ring, but more like an ancient ring."

"It couldn't be that Lao Chen accidentally fell in when he was making buns, right?" someone speculated.

"Impossible! Lao Chen is a bachelor and doesn't even have a wife. How can he have a ring?" Pei Qi said.

"Could it be that he wore it casually for fun?" Wang Yong guessed.

Jiang Li shook his head: "Old Chen makes buns every day, and it is inconvenient to wear a ring. We have never seen him wearing a ring on his hand while working. This ring should not belong to Old Chen."

"And..." Jiang Li took the ring from Pei Qi's hand and smelled it.

Although most of it was the smell of steamed bun filling seasoning, she still smelled a hint of rot.

“There’s something wrong with the stuffing of these buns, don’t eat them!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped.

Jiang Li quickly opened a meat-filled bun and took out the meat:

"Pei Qi, please ask colleagues from the laboratory department to test it. There is something wrong with this meat!"

Pei Qi nodded and immediately left with the minced meat.

Colleagues looked at Jiang Li with a hint of uncertainty on their faces.

"Jiang Li, what's wrong with this meat stuffing? I heard about the meat bun incident. Could it be that the meat buns..."

Jiang Li chuckled: "Don't worry, it's not human flesh."

Everyone was relieved immediately, but then Jiang Li said again:

"But until the identification results come out, you'd better not eat it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to suspect something even more disgusting.

Jiang Li didn't say anything more, just waiting for the test results to come out.

Three days later, the laboratory concluded that there was no human flesh in the stuffing, but a strange plant fiber was detected.

It's not poisonous, but they compared many plants and couldn't find out what it was.

During this period, Jiang Li and Pei Qi went to find Lao Chen and asked about the ring, but Lao Chen didn't recognize it at all.

"Officer, my bun shop doesn't make much money in a year. How can I afford such an expensive ring?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "Is this ring expensive?"

Old Chen smiled and said, "Although I don't have much education, I bought some good things in the antique market when I was young. Although this ring looks ordinary, it is an old thing."

"As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. There are very few of these ancient gadgets left today, so they are expensive. Look at the patterns engraved on this ring and its material. Even in ancient times, I'm afraid it would be expensive. You have to be rich to wear it!”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask a professional to identify it. Maybe they can identify it for you from any dynasty or generation!"

professional?

Jiang Li suddenly realized that she had learned this herself, and the teacher who taught her was not a top professional.

Jiang Li slapped her head and quickly sent the picture of the ring to her teacher.

Soon the other party replied:

[Jiang Li, where did you get such an old object? I estimate it could be from eight hundred years ago. 】

Jiang Li hurriedly sent a message asking: [Can you find the identity of the original owner? 】

【This is difficult! Although this ring is an old item, in ancient times, every wealthy family could have one. It is hard to say who its original owner was. 】

[However, the pattern engraved on this ring looks like a lotus pattern. In ancient times, this symbolized many children, many blessings, and a happy marriage. I judge that it should be a pair of rings, and this one should be worn by the bride. 】

Not being able to find many clues from the ring, Jiang Li asked Lao Chen again:

“Where does the meat for your buns come from?”

Lao Chen proudly said: "My meat is bought from the slaughterhouse. It must be the freshest meat when it is killed and sold. When I come back, I wash it myself, chop it myself, and adjust the seasoning myself. That's why my steamed buns are so delicious." It’s famously delicious!”

"Where is the slaughterhouse?" Jiang Li asked.

Old Chen was puzzled: "Why are you going to the slaughterhouse? It's my fault, Old Chen, that the ring was found in this bun. You shouldn't blame the slaughterhouse!"

"Boss, just tell us." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Lao Chen also understood that something big might have happened, so he didn't ask further.

After getting the address, Jiang Li and Pei Qi drove there.

They were so interested not because the origin of the ring was unknown, but because they smelled a trace of smell that did not belong to this world from the minced meat. Perhaps the plants mixed into the minced meat did not belong to the human world at all.

On the way, Jiang Li tried to divine a divination, but it was a divination of death, and he could not see clearly what was happening.

Jiang Li was not surprised by this. Since it involves something that does not belong to the human world, its luck cannot be calculated by ordinary hexagrams.
