Chapter 674 - 617: Missing Population
"An Zhiqiang, that kid, never learned his lesson. He dyed his hair blond a while ago and got into fights; later on, things got so bad that the police station got involved. His mother was so anxious, pulling strings and spending money..."
"His mom has it tough too, a single woman raising a child. The man she found is a slob, just idling his days away playing Mahjong. He even uses Zhang Yi’s money for gambling. They had hoped their son would turn out better, but he’s just as useless, a lost cause."
"Zhang Yi used to be quite feisty herself. Her husband’s family had a factory, and when she talked she carried herself with an air of superiority. ’Our factory is this and that,’ she would say. But then the factory went bust, and with it, so did their lives."
Jiang Yuan and Mu Zhiyang listened while taking notes.
Mu Zhiyang was mainly responsible for the note-taking, while Jiang Yuan observed.
Note-taking is pretty exhausting; new police officers wonder about the meaning of life after a year of doing it. So, when people ask what’s the use of copying down texts when studying? It’s to make sure you don’t just quit your job when it’s time to work!
Mu Zhiyang had already moved past the stage of finding note-taking tiring because there were tasks in his job that were much more exhausting than that.
The elders downstairs, seeing how serious Mu Zhiyang was, couldn’t help but join in.
They were all retired workers from state-owned enterprises, truly fearing nothing. Their main problem was just being bored all day long.
Seeing that Mu Zhiyang wanted to hear about the lives of "Zhang Yi and An Zhiqiang," the mother and son, everyone started chipping in, each adding their piece to the story.
