South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Then I'll go help Uncle Wang clean up the house." Ma Yan thought for a moment and said.

"Girl, you are so confused. Why do you want to clean up the house? Uncle Wang definitely doesn't care about that. And let me tell you an inside information. Uncle Wang doesn't like Xiao Yao at all and thinks she is not someone who can live a decent life." Yuan Mu shook his head.

"Really?" Ma Yan immediately became happy when she heard this.

"Of course. I tell you, just go straight to the central army's tent and capture Wang Xin and everything will be fine. But I have to remind you, if you really get together with Wang Xin, it will be difficult for your father to pass it."

When Ma Yan mentioned this, she suddenly felt a little discouraged. Yes, her father did not agree with her and Wang Xin at all. Just look at her father's attitude towards Wang Xin.

"What should we do?"

"Why are you thinking so much now? You and Wang Xin haven't even started dating yet, and you see how closely Xiao Yao is pursuing you. I tell you, if you don't hurry up, Wang Xin will definitely not be able to stand Xiao Yao's pursuit."

"It's said that when a man chases a woman, there's a mountain between them, but when a woman chases a man, there's only a layer of gauze between them. This thing depends on you."

"Oh! Okay." Ma Yan sighed and nodded.

She has a carefree personality, unlike Yao Yuling, so it's a bit difficult for her to take the initiative to pursue a man.

"But Yan Zi, I have to tell you that love should not interfere with your studies. This is serious business, you know? Getting into college is your top priority, and Wang Xin is here and he can't get away." Yuan Mu reminded.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Uncle Yuan. I'll go back first." Ma Yan nodded and stood up.

"Well, go ahead. Oh, by the way, how is your mother's health recently?"

"I wasn't feeling well. I went to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctor said it was nothing serious."

"Okay, I understand." Yuan Mu nodded.

Went to the hospital for a checkup. I wonder if Wang Sufang was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer? It was probably found out. Should I take the lead in intervening? Yuan Mu lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa thinking.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the Ningha train.

Yuan Mu was leaning against the connection of the carriages and smoking a cigarette. Yes, he was on a business trip again, going to other places to investigate cases. That's what being a railway criminal policeman is like, he has to move around frequently, which is quite troublesome.

"Hey!" At this moment, Yuan Mu saw a familiar figure come forward and pat his shoulder.

The man was startled and turned around.

"Oh my god!"

When the man saw that it was Yuan Mu, he subconsciously turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going? Isn't this the Marquis?" Yuan Mu smiled and grabbed the other person's arm.

The man turned around and gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Brother Yuan, what a coincidence?"

That’s right, this person was Hou Sanjin, but he had changed a lot since he was caught before. He was clean from head to toe, no longer looking like a thief, and looked much more upright.

"What a coincidence, are you out now?"

"Yes, it came out." Hou Sanjin laughed dryly.

"That's not right. With your crime, you shouldn't be released so soon. Did you escape from prison?" Yuan Mu said with a stern face.

"Oh my Brother Yuan, how could I dare to escape from prison? You can't say that. I just killed my accomplices and got a reduction in my sentence for my meritorious service." Hou Sanjin wailed.

"What are you doing now? You look pretty good. Have you gone back to your old job?" Yuan Mu asked as he examined him.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. I have retired and will never do my old business again." Hou Sanjin assured quickly.

"So what are you doing now?"

Hou Sanjin looked around, then squatted down and pulled out a watch from his trouser leg, then stood up and looked at Yuan Mu with a grin.

"I'm selling some watches now. This watch costs three yuan in the south, but it can be sold for ten yuan here! I'll give this one to you!"

"You are capable now. You know how to do real work? That's right. The country has an open policy now. You can make more money by trading this stuff than by stealing, and you don't have to worry about anything. How great!" Yuan Mu smiled and took the watch to take a look.

"Just say yes. I really regret what I did before. Don't you think it's great for me to do this now? I can make a lot of money every month." Hou Sanjin nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, I'm relieved to see that you've changed your career. Remember what you are like now and don't go back. I also want to remind you that although doing business nowadays can make money, you must be careful not to be cheated."

"If, and I mean if, one day you get cheated and have no money left, don't think about turning back. You can come back to me and I can help you."

"If you dare to go back to your old ways, or commit a bigger crime, then you'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will let you see my methods!" Yuan Mu said, slapping the watch in Hou Sanjin's hand.

"Brother Yuan, don't worry. I will never do it again. Take this watch. Take it."

"Okay, I'm a policeman, can I take your things? Just remember what I say!" Yuan Mu patted his shoulder, turned around, put out the cigarette and walked back to the carriage.

Hou Sanjin looked at Yuan Mu's back and sighed, "What a good man."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, the trees in the Northeast began to shed their leaves in large numbers. Autumn has arrived and the weather has turned cooler, with chilly mornings and nights.

In the past two months, Yuan Mu has been leading his men to handle human trafficking cases, but they have no clue and have no way to investigate. This case involves multiple provinces.

Now they don’t even know who the human traffickers are, let alone investigate. Apart from handling some ordinary cases, their Fifth Squad has made almost no major achievements.

This was intolerable to Yuan Mu. He was still thinking of taking a step up and solving the problem of deputy section chief next year. If he continued at this pace, his hope would be slim.

Didn't you see that Captain Jiang hadn't moved for many years? As long as I can handle cases, and big cases, not only will I be promoted, but also Captain Jiang and the instructor above me will be promoted.

It would be great if we could handle more cases like the bus station hijacking incident, but such major cases don’t happen for a long time.

Yuan Mu personally did not want similar cases to happen, but he also knew that such cases were most likely to occur in this era, and that incidents many times worse than this had occurred.

Just then, Mingyu walked into the office.

"Brother Mu, there's news from the police station down there that a dead body was found in a forest in Huangguang Village near the railway."

"Let's go!" Yuan Mu stood up and walked outside immediately after hearing this.
