Chapter Eighty-Five: Searching for an Assistant

Ling Xu was sleeping, suddenly, he heard a ringing in his ears, sleepy-eyed took out his mobile phone and looked at the number, Ling Xu pressed the answer button: "Hey...... Xiao Zhang, what's the matter? ”

"Deputy Director Ling, are you still in the North Lane community? Shi asked me to inform you, hurry to the town's conference room for a meeting, the town held a meeting of all the off-duty cadres today, those who are late will be fined 100, those who are absent will be fined 200, and the meeting will start in half an hour, if you come over now, you can still have time. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xu looked at the time, it was already seven thirty in the morning, he sat up and looked around, only to see a golden boy lying on the left side of the bed, and a jade girl lying on the right side, which had been flattened at the moment.

When he went to bed last night, Ling Xu thought that the pillow was low, and found a few piles of dark coins and put them on the pillow, and slept on the pillow for a night, this night, he slept very sweetly, without the slightest abnormality, neither heard the strange singing, nor saw the woman wearing a cheongsam.

Getting up and stretching, Ling Xu walked to the window, looking at the rising sunlight outside the window, his mood was very good, maybe it was the reason why there was nothing unusual last night, when Ling Xu looked at the living room, he felt that the room was much brighter.

After washing his face, Ling Xu folded the bedding, put those paper products neatly into his pocket, and then left the room with his pocket, at this time, the power supply in the town had been restored, and after Ling Xu entered the elevator, he hummed a little song and went downstairs.

After Ling Xu left the North Lane community, he did not go back to the police station, but went to the store that operated funeral supplies, and when he entered the door, he was still Ling Xu received by the old shopkeeper.

The old store manager, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression when he heard that Ling Xu was here to return the goods, and told Ling Xu with a drooping face that he had been operating funeral goods all his life and always implemented four guidelines, funeral supplies, no credit or owe. Once sold, it cannot be returned.

Ling Xu bought a lot of funeral supplies yesterday under the flickering of the old store manager, but none of them were used, this thing was kept in disgust, no one wanted to give it away, and I don't know who to burn it for, so Ling Xu wanted to return the thing.

But unexpectedly, the old store manager rejected this proposal as soon as they met, and in desperation, Ling Xu had to retreat and plan to return these items at a low price, as long as the old store owner was willing to take those things back, Ling Xu only needed half of the money.

Although Ling Xu's idea was good, the old shopkeeper refused to agree, no matter what Ling Xu said, the old shopkeeper just said that "if you want to return the goods, there is no way." ”

After speaking, the old store manager laughed at Ling Xu with a sarcastic face: "Yesterday, I saw that you were dressed well, and I thought you were a small boss, but I didn't expect you to be a poor ghost, who did you see who had a funeral gift?" ”

Seeing that he had said all the good things, the old shopkeeper not only refused to agree, but instead hurt people, Ling Xu was a little angry: "Okay, very good, I won't return these things, I'll wait until the Qingming Festival to use them."

However, uncle, I have to remind you, there is a way to walk by the river, morning and evening to get wet shoes, you have sold a lifetime of funeral goods, relying on the dead to make so much money, maybe you will be entangled by some lonely ghosts, don't be afraid when the time comes. ”

"Afraid? Old man, I have been running funeral goods all my life, what have I never seen, and I am still a lonely ghost? Twenty-five years ago, when the county came out of the "living beauty coffin", I had even seen zombies, and I was afraid of some lonely ghosts. The old shopkeeper said with a look of disdain.

"The coffin of a living beauty? What's that? Ling Xu asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Ling Xu's question, the old shopkeeper realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly kept silent.

Seeing that the old shopkeeper refused to continue, Ling Xu deliberately grinned: "I'll just say that this old man loves to brag, he talks nonsense with his eyes open, he is still a living beauty coffin, and he is still a zombie, who is fooling?" Are there any zombies in this world? ”

"Who said I bragged, twenty-five years ago, when the county built the 166 National Highway in the North Outer Ring Road, an ancient tomb was inadvertently dug up, and a huge copper coffin was unearthed in the tomb, and there was a living beauty lying in the coffin.

In addition to this huge copper coffin, two small sarcophagi were also unearthed, after opening the sarcophagus, the corpse inside sat up by itself, biting when it saw people, jumping and chasing the living, that thing is not afraid of guns, it can still jump after being shot, and finally a few soldiers burned the zombies to death with ******.

At that time, this matter not only spread to the city, but even alarmed the capital, Yanjing sent experts to investigate the matter, and when the two zombies were put into the coffin, the county bought the coffin and shroud from me, and when I went to deliver the coffin, I saw the two charred zombies, and I also helped carry them into the coffin. ”

Hearing the words of the old shopkeeper, Ling Xu's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the photos in Shi Jinguang's drawer, and then, he asked curiously: "What about the bronze coffin?" What happened in the end? ”

"How do I know that? It is estimated that the experts from Yanjing took it away, when I went to deliver the coffin, I didn't see the copper coffin at all, and then the people in the county found me and didn't let me tell what I saw, in fact, I didn't see anything at all except for two corpses, they didn't come to me, I didn't believe in those rumors, they looked for it, I believed it instead. ”

After listening to the old shopkeeper's words, Ling Xu gave a thumbs up and flattered the old man's insight and courage, and then he handed the things in his pocket to the counter and asked the old shopkeeper if he had changed his mind? But unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper shook his head and still refused to return the goods.

In desperation, Ling Xu had to leave the store with his pocket, looking at Ling Xu's distant back, a smug smile flashed on the old shopkeeper's face.

After Ling Xu came forward, seeing that no one noticed him on the road, he drove the car to a place next to him without monitoring, and then turned on his ability, and after the ability was running, Ling Xu ran back to the funeral parlor with his pocket, took a thousand yuan in cash from the drawer of the counter, and then put the paper horse and paper man back in their original position, and then he ran back to the car, got into the car, and he lifted the ability.

When Ling Xu drove in the direction of the police station, he received an alarm call on the 110 command center of the county bureau: "Hey...... 110? I'm going to report the crime, my shop has been burglarized, and the cash in the counter has lost 1,000 yuan, and the cash was fine before, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But...... If you say it carefully, it shouldn't be a loss, because a few paper people and paper horses I sold before came back inexplicably, and I sold those paper people and paper horses for a thousand yuan, and now when they come back, they are just tied to the lost thousand yuan, hey...... Feed...... Odd? Why did 110 hang up? ”

It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Ling Xu returned to the police station, and after looking at the time, he walked towards the back of the town government compound, and walked to the door of the conference room.

After thinking about it, Ling Xu stubbornly walked inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Li Kaixuan on the leadership seat: "Ling Xu, what time is it?" Didn't you get a notice of a meeting?

Discipline is loose as soon as you take office, you don't sign in at work, you don't sign out after work, you don't work seriously, and you're late for meetings, if you continue like this, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to find Teng Baoguo and ask him to transfer you back, Hongyun Town doesn't need a person like you who has no sense of responsibility. ”

Hearing Li Kaixuan's words, Ling Xu understood, today Li Kaixuan is in front of all the off-duty cadres, he wants to give himself a dismount, think about this, how can Ling Xu have the heart to grind with the other party.

I saw Ling Xu smile coldly, took out the 1,000 yuan cash he had just gotten back from his wallet, and then threw the money on the leader's seat, and then he turned his head and walked outside.

"Ling Xu, what do you mean by that?" Seeing Ling Xu's actions, Li Kaixuan asked with a sinking face,

"Those who are late to the meeting of all off-duty cadres will be fined 100 yuan each time, which is the fee I paid in advance for 10 times, and I will not come to attend such meetings in the future, and when it comes to the eleventh time, you remember to call someone to notify me, and I will come and send a fine."

Hearing Ling Xu's words clearly, Li Kaixuan's face was full of anger, and he smashed his water cup with an angry face, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Today's meeting will not be opened, and the meeting will be adjourned." ”

Li Shuxue, Zhang Fengchao and others didn't have to attend the meeting because they were auxiliary police, and after Ling Xu returned to the police station, he saw that both of them were sitting in the duty room, so Ling Xu asked them how the investigation was?

After hearing this, the two looked at Ling Xu with some embarrassment, saying that they hadn't checked yet.

Seeing the work attitude of the two, Ling Xu sighed, he didn't say anything, turned around and went back upstairs, Ling Xu wanted to train Zhang Fengchao and Li Shuxue before, but the two of them didn't have the sense of responsibility that a police officer should have, and shook his head in disappointment, Ling Xu gave up the idea of cultivating these two.

After taking the list of auxiliary police personnel, Ling Xu observed by himself, except for Zhang Fengchao and Li Shuxue, the rest of the auxiliary police were all following the official police to be responsible for the security of the jurisdiction, and it was impossible to transfer people from others.

Other auxiliary police officers can't be drawn, and the auxiliary police assigned to him are not the ones who do it, Ling Xu wants to train an assistant, but he can't find a suitable candidate.

Just when Ling Xu felt worried, suddenly, he saw the name of the female auxiliary policeman Lu Shujing, thought about it, and used the office phone on the desk to dial the phone number of the household registration office: "Hey...... Gu Zhiyan, is Lu Shujing in the household registration room? Ah, you asked her to come to me. ”

A few minutes later, Lu Shujing came to Ling Xu's office, knocked on the door, and asked politely, "Deputy Director Ling, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Lu Shujing, I remember that your house is from our Hongyun Town, right?" After seeing Lu Shujing nodding, Ling Xu said directly to her: "I want to ask you to do me a favor, I wonder if you have time?" ”
