South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"As long as you are satisfied, you can take a rest first. I'll leave first. If you have any problems, just come to me directly." Li Wanli said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Chief Li." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

After Li Wanli left, Yuan Mu began to tidy up the room. In fact, the room was very clean and it was obvious that it had been tidied. However, he also had to put his things away. There was still a week before school started, and he would live here during this period.

After school starts, I have to live in the school dormitory most of the time. After all, the first reason for going to college is to get a degree, and another very important purpose is to make connections.

The college students of this era are so valuable, especially the Kyoto University of Political Science and Law. Most of the people who graduate from here will go to the judicial systems in various places. This is a huge network of contacts. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, wouldn't he be too stupid?

In the evening, Yuan Mu and Shen Nan had dinner in a restaurant. They talked a lot during the meal. Maybe because of Mr. Zhou, Shen Nan's attitude towards her was very nice and close. Yuan Mu was naturally happy about it.

Shen Nan also introduced to him the composition of the entire Criminal Investigation Team, the main members of each department and the areas they are responsible for.

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, when I went to his place before, he talked to me about you a lot. Although I was not at the scene on the day of the crime, after listening to Mr. Zhou's description, I really admire your skills and courage."

"You were facing five armed gangsters alone, and they were carrying high explosives. Weren't you afraid at all in that situation?" Shen Nan flicked the ash in his hand and looked at Yuan Mu and asked.

"Captain Shen, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid. I am a normal person, and I would be afraid too. But before that, I was a police inspector. There were dozens of people in the carriage at that time. What would they do if I was afraid too?"

"To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I was really afraid that the criminal would detonate the explosives in his hand. If it really exploded, the whole carriage would fly into the sky."

"My ability alone is limited. I can only delay time and guide them. Only when they get out of the carriage can we have a chance and the snipers on the platform have a chance to shoot. If the criminals insist on having the train to pull the carriage away, I really don't have any good solution."

"Fortunately, these criminals want to live and don't want to die together. It is because of their mentality that we have a chance." Yuan Mu shook his head with a wry smile.

"It is said that you killed two criminals with your flying knife skills. This is a very powerful move, not everyone can do it."

"Hey! I just practiced casually. I worked as a prison guard in prison for a few years. I didn't have much to do at that time, so I just practiced casually when I was free." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"You are not just practicing casually. Your moves are decisive and accurate. Most people don't have your courage. They wouldn't dare to make a move unless they have absolute confidence in themselves." Shen Nan said with a smile.

"Okay, Captain Shen, stop praising me. I'll get carried away." Yuan Mu laughed.

"Haha, okay, I won't praise you anymore. Come, let's drink." Captain Shen laughed and picked up the wine glass.

The meal lasted for more than two hours. The two drank a lot, but the whole process was very pleasant. They chatted very happily. Although there was a big gap between their levels and ages, with the relationship like that of Mr. Zhou, nothing seemed to matter.

. . . . . . . . . . .

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yuan Mu went to a nearby store to make a phone call. He took out the note that Mr. Zhou had left for him from the space and dialed the number on it.

About twenty seconds later, the call was connected, but the voice on the other end was a woman who sounded quite old.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Hello, I want to look for Mr. Zhou." Yuan Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, but then quickly said.

"Lao Zhou! Lao Zhou! Looking for you!" At this time, a woman's voice calling someone came from the phone.

"Please wait a moment." After saying this, the phone was quiet for a short time, and after a few dozen seconds, the voice came again.

"Who is this? I'm Zhou Zhennan." A deep and majestic voice sounded.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Yuan Mu." Yuan Mu said quickly.

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Yuan." Zhou Zhennan's tone on the phone suddenly softened and he laughed.

"Mr. Zhou, it's me." Yuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mr. Zhou's tone. He was afraid that Mr. Zhou would have a lukewarm attitude towards him. Obviously, he was overthinking it.

"You're in Kyoto? When did you arrive?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I came here to report a few days in advance to familiarize myself with the surrounding environment. I arrived at dawn on the 3rd."

"Look, call me when you get here." Mr. Zhou said with a hint of blame.

"I'm afraid of bothering you, and I called today because I want to visit you. Is it convenient for you today?" Yuan Mu asked cautiously.

"Okay, no problem. How about this, you come over at one o'clock in the afternoon. Where are you? I'll ask my driver to pick you up." Mr. Zhou on the phone spoke without hesitation.

"Mr. Zhou, it's better not to trouble you. You told me the address last time. I can go there by myself." Yuan Mu said quickly.

"It's okay. Besides, you can't get in without a driver."

Yuan Mu thought about it and realized that it was true. Anyone could enter the military compound. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. That was the basic operation.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'm in the dormitory building of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Railway Public Security Bureau." Yuan Mu told Mr. Zhou his address.

Then the two of them said a few more words and hung up the phone. Yuan Mu was very happy that his goal had been achieved. He had no other goals. It was enough for him to maintain a good relationship with this person.

Although Mr. Zhou is in the military, his former subordinates are spread everywhere. As long as he knows two of them, he won't have to worry, just like Shen Nan, who is his current direct superior.

Looking at the watch, it was just past eight o'clock and it was still early, so Yuan Mu planned to take a walk around. The current Kyoto is very different from the later generations. There are not as many buildings as in the later generations. Moreover, there is no smog in Kyoto now, and the air is relatively good.

He didn't take a car, but just walked. He had a meal outside at noon. Soon it was past noon. Unknowingly, he arrived near Kyoto Station. Looking at this train station which was much larger than Ningyang Station, he felt a little emotional.

It was almost time to go back. Just at this moment, an explosion was heard.

"boom!!!"
