Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

One and a half months after An Jie received the remittance slip, he received a call from Editor Liu of Qingdao Publishing House after get off work at noon.

"Hello, is this Comrade An Jie? I'm Editor Liu from Qingdao Publishing House, and I have good news for you.

Jiang Weimin's "Police Dog Attacks - See Through the True Body" has been printed. The first print run is 30 copies, and now 10 copies have been printed. It will then be sent to bookstores in various cities for sale."

"Thank you so much, Editor Liu. That's great! I didn't expect this book to be published so soon."

"Haha, this is all because of the excellent work. By the way, Comrade Anjie, I have mailed you 10 comic books. Are they enough? If not, I will mail you a few more."

"That's enough, that's enough. Thank you very much, Editor Liu, for taking such good care of us. I really don't know how to thank you!"

"Of course, of course. Comrade An Jie, have you finished drawing the second volume of Police Dogs Going East? Our publishing house has been waiting for the second volume to be published."

"Editor Liu, it's almost done, it's almost done, you've urged me three times already, and my son's schoolwork is pretty busy lately.

I’m about to go to high school, so my progress is a little slow, but don’t worry, I’ve already drawn more than 40 pictures, and I’m sure I’ll be able to finish them in another month.”

"Yes, yes, learning is important, as long as there is progress, it's fine. The main thing is that our president is quite concerned about this matter. Let's pay more attention to it."

"Okay, Editor Liu, we will call you as soon as we finish the drawing." After Anjie hung up the phone, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

An Jie was thinking about how to distribute the 10 comic books. He decided to keep two for his family, give one to Lao Ding, and give one to his eldest brother and sister, so that there would be five left.

As for these five books, An Jie planned to give them to Lao Jiang and her colleagues. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing, imagining the scene of everyone praising Jiang Weimin.

Then I thought about buying a few copies and keeping them for later when the supply and marketing cooperatives deliver them.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the comic book "Police Dog Attacks - See Through the Truth" appeared in the streets and alleys of various cities.

In the big city of Beijing, there lived a young man named Li Xiangyang who loved reading comic books.

He came from a well-off family. Both his parents were working class. His father was a policeman and his mother worked in a textile factory.

Since both his parents had a stable income, Li Xiangyang always had some pocket money, which made him a frequent customer of Xinhua Bookstore.

Whenever a new comic book arrived, he would always buy it first and couldn't wait to start reading it.

On this day, Li Xiangyang walked into Xinhua Bookstore as usual, looking for the latest comic books.

When he turned to a book, he was suddenly attracted by a picture - there was a majestic police dog in the picture. He immediately picked up the book, quickly opened it, and glanced at the introduction.

When he learned that the book tells the story of how police dogs assist the police in solving cases and arresting criminals, he couldn't help feeling excited. As the son of a policeman, Li Xiangyang is very interested in works of this type.

After seeing that the book was priced at 0.1 yuan, he took out a dime without hesitation and bought the comic book.

Then he left the bookstore happily and prepared to go home to enjoy this wonderful story.

After returning home, Li Xiangyang rushed into his room impatiently, carefully opened the picture book in his hand, and began to read seriously.

Since he had never come across this type of suspenseful crime-solving comic strip before, he quickly became immersed in it.

Although he is a family member of a police officer, Li Xiangyang is still young after all, so he can only passively follow the author's thinking and be led by the nose.

He was very annoyed that he still couldn't find out the true identity of the spy until he finished reading the whole story. When he saw the last page, he realized that the book did not give an answer, but only a suspense.

So he looked at the title of the comic book again - "Police Dog Attacks - See Through the True Body", and sure enough, there was a next volume. If Li Xiangyang lived in modern society, he might not be able to help but curse: "The dog that broke the chapter will not die well!"

But at this moment, he could only sulk alone, muttering in his heart: "This abominable author actually left me with such a big suspense!"

However, after calming down, Li Xiangyang realized that the spy "Night Owl" must be hiding among the four people: the doorman, the leader, the secretary and the finance officer.

Moreover, judging from the clues currently available, each of them seems to be a suspect.

In order to solve this mystery, Li Xiangyang picked up the picture book again, carefully flipped through every page, and tried to find some clues from it.

Unfortunately, even though he had watched it many times, he still couldn't figure out the complex relationship.

As night falls, the lights are on.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, then the door opened and a tall figure walked in - it was Li Xiangyang's father Li Zhiqiang.

He was handsome in a police uniform, with sharp and firm eyes. However, when he walked into the living room, he found his son sitting on the sofa, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong, Yangyang? Why do you look so unhappy?" Li Zhiqiang asked with concern, walking over to sit next to his son.

Li Xiangyang raised his head, looking depressed: "Dad, a new comic book came to Xinhua Bookstore today, but the author is so bad! He drew the story very excitingly, but in the end he didn't tell us who the real spy is!"

Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but smile and comforted her softly, "Oh, so that's the case. This is indeed a bit disappointing. However, perhaps the author wants to leave some room for readers' imagination."

Li Xiangyang frowned and muttered, "But, I really want to know who that spy "Night Owl" is!"

At this moment, Li Xiangyang suddenly had an idea, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Dad, you must have a way! You are a policeman, you must know who the bad guy is! Can you help me see who the bad guy is in this comic book?" As he said that, he jumped up, ran back to the room impatiently, and took out the picture book that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Okay, wait until after dinner, Dad will help you find the bad guys."

After dinner, Li Zhiqiang and his son Li Xiangyang sat at the desk, flipping through a comic book titled "Police Dog Attacks - See Through the Real Body". They looked at every page attentively, trying to find the hidden spies in the pictures.

Although Li Zhiqiang is a policeman, he is only a local police officer responsible for local security.

After he carefully read the comic book from beginning to end, he still couldn't determine which character was the real spy "Night Owl".

He said helplessly to his son: "To know who this spy "Night Owl" is, we can only look forward to reading the next volume. Now I think everyone may be a suspect."

After hearing this, Li Xiangyang responded with disappointment: "It seems to be true."

Li Zhiqiang noticed his son's disappointed expression and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He believed that as a policeman, it was undoubtedly an insult to his profession that he was unable to answer questions raised by children.

So he straightened his back and said firmly, "Tomorrow I will ask your Uncle Tian to help analyze it. He used to be a criminal policeman, so he will definitely be able to find the answer."

When Li Xiangyang heard his father's promise, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

"Great, then let Uncle Tian help us find the bad guy!"
