Chapter 730 - 673: Show of Strength
They had fish for dinner.
Having collected bodies from a sewage pond during the day, which left many feeling unwell, they could only manage to eat aquatic creatures that evening, such as coral trout, grouper, mantis shrimp, crabs, squat lobster, and deco pod squilloids from the Decapod Squilla Family. This meal was on Jiang Yuan’s tab, and not expensed to the Zhengguang Bureau, to lift the spirits of Tao Lu and the others a bit.
Tao Lu seized the chance and heartily chatted with Huang Qiangmin, arms linked and faces flushed, for a good fifteen minutes.

Jiang Yuan didn’t pay them much mind, devouring nearly half of the coral trout in a whirlwind, followed by cracking open a mantis shrimp, and then pairing half a bowl of shrimp, two spoonfuls of Lao Gan Ma, and a touch of mustard with half a bowl of rice.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless one; the task force needed the autopsy reports before the next morning’s office hours, otherwise, the rest of the team would have to wait for the report to proceed with their work.
Staying up late didn’t bother Jiang Yuan much, similar to how doctors always admonish their patients to rest well and eat light, yet they often binge and stay up all night themselves. Many doctors have seen too many cases of people getting sick mysteriously.
Forensic doctors are similar to some extent, as with the six bodies this time. Although they hooked up, drank, stayed up late, and some may even have smoked, they were all in the prime of youth, far from the clutches of death under normal circumstances.
Yet each of these six people had no definitive reason to die.
They merely chose a certain lifestyle.
