When he saw the middle-aged man's appearance, he was suddenly startled.

How could it be him! Why would he be involved in an ordinary food poisoning investigation?! Did he discover something suspicious?!

The person accompanying Xu An back to Xujia Village to collect samples was a recent graduate who was new to the workforce. Because he had only been working for a short time, he wasn't as serious as the other law enforcement officers and would chat with Xu An about random things along the way.

Hearing Xu An say that he had just finished the college entrance examination this year made him even more excited.

After asking him about his college entrance examination scores, I analyzed for him the universities and majors he could get into with those scores, and what kind of jobs he could do after graduating from those majors.

If Xu An had heard these things before filling out his college application in his previous life, he would have been overjoyed. But in this life, he has no plans to go to university, so these things are no longer necessary for him.

However, this was also a kind gesture from them, and Xu An occasionally chimed in with a few words of agreement.

With someone to chat with, the journey didn't seem so long, and we soon returned to Xujia Village.

As soon as Xu An parked the car in front of the door, the two little ones, Xu Kang and Xu Le, must have heard the noise and jumped out of the door to greet him.

"elder brother!"

"Brother's back! Hug me, brother!"

The two skipped and hopped over to Xu An, only to notice the young law enforcement officer standing behind him. They froze, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"His clothes look so familiar!"

"Idiot, that's the uniform the police officers wear on TV."

"Why did the police come to our house? Did my brother do something wrong? Are they here to take him away?"

After listening to the conversation between the two little ones, Xu An felt both amused and exasperated. It was from where these two little ones had been watching these strange TV dramas.

"Uncle, please don't take my brother away, okay? My brother is very well-behaved, he won't do anything bad," Xu Le said earnestly to the young law enforcement officer, looking up at him.

"Uncle is here to check if the ingredients are safe, not to arrest your brother. Come on, go back to your room, and your brother will play with you later, okay?"

Xu An patted the two fluffy little heads. Their hair seemed to have turned a bit darker, unlike when he had just woken up when it was as yellow.

The two looked at the young law enforcement officer for a while, seemingly deciding he didn't seem like a bad person, before following Xu An's advice and walking into the room. As they walked, they turned back and said, "My brother is really well-behaved."

"Your younger brother and sister are quite cute." The young law enforcement officer couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a touch of emotion, "I have a younger sister at home, about my age, who's always poking at my lungs."

As he spoke, he patted Xu An on the shoulder: "My sister is the same age as you, and she also finished the college entrance examination this year. I almost shaved my head off trying to help her choose a university."

"What was your sister's college entrance exam score?" Xu An asked curiously.

"I'm just eight points above the cutoff for top-tier universities. Except for less popular majors, it's not appropriate for me to apply to any university, which is why I'm having this headache."

Just eight points above the cutoff for top-tier universities, this score is indeed very risky.

Xu An suddenly remembered something one of his college roommates said when they were chatting about choosing college majors in his previous life.

Unlike Xu An, whose college entrance exam scores were not high enough to allow him to choose a mediocre major and a mediocre school, his roommate did not.

His score was above the cutoff for top-tier universities, so he decided to take a chance and applied to unpopular majors at 985 and 211 universities.

The competition for these popular universities was too fierce, and he was rejected by all of them without a doubt. In the end, by a twist of fate, he ended up at the university where Xu An was studying, and became his classmate and roommate.

During his university years, he complained more than once that when he was applying for college, he saw that a 985 university planned to recruit a student from Shanghai.

But because only one person was to be admitted, he felt the chances of passing the exam were too low, so he did not apply.

When the admission scores were announced later, he specifically checked and found that the person who got in had a score three points lower than his.

In other words, if he had applied back then, he definitely would have passed the exam!

That university was a 985 institution, and the major was logistics. Graduates would have no trouble finding jobs. His roommate regretted it for four whole years.

"Hongxi University's logistics program is actually quite good, but it only admits one student from Shanghai. However, since it's now a parallel application system, it's not a bad idea to consider it. If you get in, you can study a good program at a 985 university."

Xu An mentioned it briefly but didn't continue. He led the young law enforcement officer into the kitchen, pointed to the freezer, and said, "This is where we store our ingredients."

This was the main purpose of our visit today. The young law enforcement officers stopped chatting and took out their tools to start sampling the food in the freezer and the residue around the pot.
