Everything in the county town was basic.
The administrative level of the county, the equipment of the vehicles, including the bars in the county, were all simplified versions of what you'd find in big cities.
Even the criminals seemed to be a basic model, with thieves who couldn't make it in the big city, gang leaders who couldn't mix well there, and even perverts who couldn't stay put—all setting up their lives in their hometown county.
The only exception were the homicide cases; those in small county towns often came up with something new, reaching or even exceeding the level of those in the big cities. Cases like Lu Tixie killing Zhen Guanxi with three punches, Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang to death with a single bowl of medicine, and Sun Er Niang committing serial murders and dismembering bodies were all cultivated in small towns.
Jiang Yuan felt that the body before him was anything but basic.
