chapter -31 A sudden crime

 

        

 

The days passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

 

The dust has not settled yet on the demon miasma in the outer sea.

 

However, after a week of precipitation, Beicheng District has gradually restored order.

 

Major fresh food markets and pet hospitals have resumed business one after another.

 

In response to the existing problems of demon miasma, the popularity of the Internet has gradually decreased.

 

Thanks to the joint cooperation and strict control of the Inspection Bureau and the Auxiliary Investigation Section, Beicheng District has been eerily calm, and the crime rate has dropped to an all-time low, with no petty thefts at all.

 

This week, Li Jing carried out night patrol work day after day.

 

At first, he was somewhat hopeful that a monster would pop up along the eastern coast during his duty, which would give him some experience.

 

However, life is not full of surprises.

 

The inspection bureau's cleaning work was very thorough.

 

The entire eastern coast, which was under the responsibility of Patrol Group 9, was calm for seven days.

 

...

 

Today is the day when the ninth patrol team changes to the mid-night shift.

 

It was also the day when Lu Yangcheng returned from overseas.

 

Four p.m.

 

Li Jing arrived on time at the central section along the eastern coast that the Tianwang Group was responsible for and met up with Yi Xiuzhu, who also arrived for work, on the roof of the sea-view room where he was resting on his first night on duty.

 

After meeting and greeting each other, Li Jing took out his headphones and put them on, looking around.

 

"Yangcheng hasn't arrived yet."

 

"The news just came that it will be a little later; let's wait for him."

 

Yi Xiuzhu said, turned to look at the vast ocean, and sighed.

 

"The outer sea demon miasma issue will be over in a few more weeks. The patrol team's auxiliary branch will continue to be maintained, but I don't know where we will be arranged next after seven days. If it is still there, Patrolling along the coast is too boring."

 

Yi Xiuzhu's words touched Li Jing's heart.

 

After these uneventful seven days, he finally realized why no one wanted to do supplementary examinations for a long time.

 

Whether you have experience or not is another matter.

 

The key is that patrolling day after day is too boring.

 

The patrol team is a special establishment of the Auxiliary Investigation Section, so there is no need to run around for various chores.

 

But during these seven days, he and Yi Xiuzhu just walked back and forth along the eastern coast at one-hour intervals and did nothing.

 

To be honest, this situation is quite torturous.

 

"We'll see when the time comes!"

 

Li Jing said with a sigh.

 

"It will be the end of the month in seven days. Before we decide whether to transfer to other places, we still have to deal with the new employee assessment. These days, we have nothing to do and can do our homework in our spare time. Yangcheng may not be able to do it overseas. Homework. Just in case..."

 

Before he could finish his words, a black charcoal head flew from the sky and landed on the roof of the sea view room.

 

"What if?"

 

Li Jing and Yi Xiuzhu were stunned when they suddenly saw the person coming, and they didn't dare to recognize him for a while.

 

Judging from the facial features, it was definitely Lu Yangcheng.

 

But he is so dark; he is really no different from charcoal.

 

The key is that he just has a dark face.

 

The rest is still white.

 

The row of white teeth hung on a face that was no different from the bottom of a pot, not to mention how eye-catching it was.

 

Lu Yangcheng said with a sullen face as he looked at the two brothers looking at him with expressions as weird as possible.

 

    "WhDon't you dare to recognize me?"

 

"Ahem."

 

Li Jing coughed and laughed dryly.

 

"Yangcheng, why do you have such a tan? I remember that the miasma is under the sea. Shouldn't you follow the people from the inspection bureau to deal with the miasma?"

 

Lu Yangcheng said it sullenly in the middle of the sentence.

 

"I was just helping out with chores there. I stayed on the boat all the time. I wanted to go to the sea to help people patrol, but they didn't feel comfortable letting me go. These days, the sun outside is over 40 degrees Celsius every day. Can I not get dark?"

 

As he said this, he grinded his teeth secretly.

 

"You two are really going too far! You just left me out at sea and didn't care about me. You didn't even come to rescue me. You didn't even send me a message! Every time I show up in the group, you two just disappear! If it weren't for Deng Ying from the Long Night Team, he would have felt sorry for me and often talked to me. I was afraid I would be suffocated to death at sea."

 

Speaking of Deng Ying, Li Jing made a "tsk" sound.

 

"I don't like what you say! Xiuzhu and I are silent. Isn't that because we see you chatting animatedly with team leader Deng Ying and Deng and don't want to disturb you?""

 

Ha!"

 

Lu Yangcheng's face was full of disdain, but his lips could not stop. Zhu put on a smile.

 

He had indeed had a good chat with Deng Ying this week.

 

They even had a dinner date.

 

The time will be when I get off work tonight.

 

Speaking of Deng Ying, he was quite impressed.

 

There are a total of three girls in the ninth patrol group. Deng Ying's appearance is enough to rank first, and her strength can also be said to be the strongest among the three girls.

 

Lu Yangcheng was very interested in this incident.

 

His family is very well off, but he has never had a serious girlfriend yet.

 

Regardless of whether people were interested in him or not, Lu Yangcheng felt that it was necessary to develop.

 

Li Jing saw a smile on Lu Yangcheng's face, which looked a little strange.

 

Lu Yangcheng and Deng Ying were having a lively chat, and he actually saw it through the screen.

 

Not only him, but the entire ninth patrol group saw it.

 

The two of them have a dinner date tonight, and everyone knows it well.

 

From the perspective of an onlooker, there must be something going on between the two.

 

Lu Yangcheng had made great achievements not long ago, had been in the limelight, and was also very funny and talkative.

 

Deng Ying was willing to chat with him during her break, so there should be some meaning in it.

 

It's just that Lu Yangcheng looks so tanned that he might have to persuade Deng Ying to leave if they don't meet.

 

Don't talk about anything else.

 

Just now, Li Jing was looking at him and smiling, and the row of dazzling white teeth on his dark face was already a bit oozing.

 

Just as he was hesitating whether to say the last sentence, Yi Xiuzhu spoke up.

 

"Yangcheng, you look like this now, as if you just came back from digging coal. If I were Team Leader Deng, I would definitely not be able to accept it. I advise you to be mentally prepared for tonight's dinner."

 

Li Jing's mouth twitched when he heard this.

 

Don't slap someone in the face!

 

Ah, this is slapped directly in the face!

 

Lu Yangcheng seemed to have high expectations at first glance. Couldn't he be more tactful?

 

No, when Lu Yangcheng heard Yi Xiuzhu's words, he stiffened and his expression fell.

 

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jing hurriedly spoke.

 

"It's not a big problem. Yangcheng, you wore protective clothing at sea, and you only got tanned on your face. The rest of the face is quite white. After a while, your face will slowly turn white under the nourishment of spiritual energy. Team leader Deng is a beautiful person. If you have a kind heart, you should..."

 

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yangcheng waved his hand.

 

"Okay, you don't need to comfort me. I definitely don't need to think too much about how I look now. Just take it one step at a time."

 

As he spoke, Lu Yangcheng let out a heavy breath.

 

"Now that we are all here, let's start patrolling first! If we don't move, Captain Kong will say that we are fishing."

 

"Okay."

 

Li Jing nodded.

 

This topic must not be continued.

 

Yi Xiuzhu was very straightforward. God knows what he would say if we continued talking.

 

Just as they were about to fly into the air, Kong Wu's voice sounded in the earphones of the three of them.

 

"Tianwang Group, immediately go to Tianbei Seafood Market, No. 714, Dazhong Road. I have just received a notification from the Inspection Bureau that fourteen corpses were found in a shop in Tianbei Seafood Market that has not resumed business yet. It may be a monster committing the crime, or it may be a homicide case. A patrol has been sent to the scene. Please go over and help. Ground support will arrive later."

 

The sudden voice from the earphones made Li Jing and the other three people freeze.

 

Fourteen corpses?

 

Is this going to go against the grain?

 

Beicheng District has been calm this week...

 

But they encountered such a big incident just after they arrived at work, which caught the three of them by surprise.

 

Looking at each other, Li Jing responded.

 

"The Heavenly King Group received it and went to the scene immediately."
