Although the real culprit of this poisoning case has been caught, the aftermath of the case has not completely subsided.

Zhang Guojun’s poisoning case directly caused the death of two people at the scene, and another two died in the hospital after unsuccessful resuscitation, bringing the death toll to four.

In addition, several people are still in the ICU, and their vital signs remain unstable.

Fortunately, the Criminal Investigation Team solved the case quickly, catching the suspect in the afternoon of the same day of the incident and promptly issued a public announcement.

Nevertheless, it still caused some panic within a certain range.

After all, Zhang Guojun’s method of poisoning was a bit too easy.

The relatively easy poisoning method led to some concerns about food safety.

This kind of large-scale poisoning incident cannot have its information blocked.

Therefore, there were reports about this incident on the internet, on TV, and through other media channels.

The higher-ups are very concerned about such large-scale food poisoning incidents.

They instructed Qin Yong immediately after the incident to solve the case within a short time.

Director Song Jiangguo initially planned to oversee the case personally, but the speed of solving this case was unexpected. The suspect was identified by noon and captured by the afternoon, and the case was cracked by evening.

In the meeting room, Qin Yong roughly briefed the case investigation situation.

"This case is rather special. Please bear the extra workload today, and organize the relevant files, materials, and reports, as I have to report to the city bureau leadership tomorrow morning."

Not only does Qin Yong need to report to Song Jiangguo the next morning, but after hearing the report, Song Jiangguo also has to take the relevant materials and report further.

While the action team was busy, there was not much work left for the Crime Scene Investigation office and Forensic Doctor.

In this case, the Forensic Doctor did not have much to do.

Lu Chuan and Shen Yan left work early.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, let’s go camping."

In the car, the soothing music helped Lu Chuan relax his nerves a bit after a tense day.

Lately, Lu Chuan had been in a more tense work state.

Especially the recent disappearance case of Wang Feng had put him on edge.

In nearly two years as a policeman, there had only been two cases involving people he knew.

One case was Lu Yao losing 10 million to a scam. Although the amount was substantial, it didn’t involve any fatalities.

It was somewhat acceptable.

But the Wang Feng case was different.

When Wang Feng was found in that office, he was already on the brink of death. If Lu Chuan hadn’t performed emergency CPR, he might not have survived.

It can be said that it was the first time Lu Chuan saved someone he knew from the brink of death.

The feeling was even more terrifying than last year’s dangerous mission.

Because when facing danger oneself, it happens in an instant without much time to react.

But Wang Feng’s situation was different. Lu Chuan watched him lying there, his face covered with transparent tape, motionless, and personally performed CPR, witnessing him coming back from death.

Before there was time to recover from the Wang Feng case, this poisoning case emerged.

Though both cases were solved in a short time, Lu Chuan felt mentally and physically exhausted.

He wanted a break.

Fortunately, the weekend was coming, there were no new cases for the team, and there was no need for overtime, with nothing much for the Forensic Doctor.

"Okay, I heard there’s a camping site developed on the East Coast, with beautiful scenery. How about going there?"

Forensic Doctor Shen was very understanding. When Lu Chuan wanted to go out, she offered suggestions, sitting in the passenger seat, lightly holding Lu Chuan’s hand resting on the armrest, her gentle smile bringing warmth.

"Great, let’s go to the camping site on the East Coast."

In recent years, the beaches and coasts of Haizhou City have been developed quickly.

The southern part of Haizhou City, facing the sea, has many beaches developed into maritime entertainment parks, bustling every summer.

But the eastern coastline has almost no beaches.

It features beautiful wetlands and some cliffs.

In some places near the sea, with excellent scenery and wide views, they have been developed into camping sites.

Lu Chuan loves to travel and usually goes on short trips during school vacations.

Camping naturally needs an RV, and Lu Chuan’s RV was bought by Old Lu after Lu Chuan graduated.

Lu Qiqiang originally thought that after their son graduated and started working, the couple could go and explore places.

In fact, they did go out for a few days but quickly got tired of it.

The reason was simple: it wasn’t about the scenery, but they couldn’t agree on where to go.

Leaving home for travel is different from staying home.

At home, it’s just about routines like cooking and cleaning, and under his wife’s strict management, Comrade Lu would just comply.

But traveling is different; it’s meant to relieve tension. Old Lu wanted to go here, while his wife wanted to go there.

With travel disputes, it’s sometimes better not to travel.

So, the RV only ran for less than three thousand kilometers before it sat in the garage.

Back home, Lu Chuan checked the RV in the garage, and although it hadn’t been used for nearly two years, it was regularly maintained, thanks to the reliable staff at the company.

Moreover, Lu Qiqiang, being in charge of logistics, ensured everything was in order.

At home, Lu Chuan munched on tangerines freshly peeled by his mom.

"Hmm, so sweet."

Lu Chuan knew how to flatter his mom.

"Dad, have a taste too."

"Is it really sweet?"

"Incredibly sweet!"

As it turned out, sons are often unreliable.

One bite, and Lu Qiqiang nearly had his teeth soured.

But seeing his wife watching keenly, Comrade Lu forced a smile and swallowed the sour tangerine.

He then shot a sharp glance at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan was unfazed. Such delicious tangerines, it would be a waste to eat them alone.

"Son, when are you planning to bring Shen over for a visit?"

"Hmm? Didn’t she just come over not long ago?"

"Two months ago isn’t ’not long ago’, silly."

On this matter, both Old Lu and his wife were aligned.

"Since you two are already together and have met each other’s parents, perhaps you could arrange a formal meeting."

"Didn’t you all meet?"

"You fool, that was at the police station discussing donations, is that what I meant by a meeting?"

"I’ve been too busy lately, I’ll discuss it with Shen Yan in a few days."

Back in his bedroom, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly.

Last year, when he just started working and didn’t have a girlfriend, they were urging him to find one. Now that he has a girlfriend, they’re urging for the families to meet, and it’s likely marriage and kids next.

Are all parents like this?
