[228] Memorial Day

Early morning.

The new chief inspector of the third outpost, Xing Peng, was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, wearing the uniform of the chief inspector very seriously.

That's when it happened.

Light footsteps were heard behind him.

A beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

It was his fiancΓ©e, Fan Xiaoqian.

This couple-to-be looks at each other through the mirror and smiles at the same time.

Xing Peng suddenly sighed: "I always feel like I'm dreaming." ”

More than half a month ago, he was just nameless, but he was taken to a banquet, passed the assessment of the director, and was lucky to become an inspector.

Now he has made great contributions, becoming the fastest-promoted inspector in the history of the city's inspection department, and is about to marry a gentle and beautiful wife.

For all this, Xing Peng just wants to say one word sincerely: thank you to the director.

Fan Xiaoqian smiled Yan Yan: "Yes, it's like a dream." ”

can marry the youngest inspector in the city, and a male classmate who has a crush on him many years ago, this rich lady is also very happy.

Fan Xiaoqian pursed her lips and smiled again, and said a message: "My dad said that on the day we officially get married, he will give an extra dowry of two hundred gold coins." ”

Xing Peng just smiled and didn't say anything.

Originally, the dowry promised by his father-in-law Fan Ancheng of 800 gold coins has now risen to 1,000 gold coins, and he knows that this is all the benefit of the position of "inspector general".

By the way.

His wealthy businessman originally arranged for the two to get married two days ago, but unfortunately due to the outbreak of the alien language incident, the wedding date was forced to be postponed for ten years.

Fan Ancheng was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he couldn't wait to send a wedding house first, and asked the two to live in advance to get acquainted with each other.

Although this was a little suspicious of immorality, Xing Peng accepted it half-pushing.

After all, what man wouldn't want to enjoy the life of a beautiful wife and a beautiful wife and lingering night and night in advance?

At this time.

Fan Xiaoqian glanced at the back of her fiancΓ©'s head, and suddenly said "Huh": "Why do you have several gray hairs here?" ”

She stepped closer and reached out to stroke his hair, "I'll help you pull it out." ”

Xing Peng let out an "um" sound.

Fan Xiaoqian clamped her white hair between her two fingers and muttered, "There are so many gray hairs at a young age, and the work of the inspection department is too hard." ”

Xing Peng's tone was full of emotion: "Some things have to be done. ”

"Smack!"

There was a slight noise.

Fan Xiaoqian plucked out a white hair and said, "Why are you getting more and more old-fashioned when you speak?" ”

Xing Peng shook his head and smiled: "If you have personally experienced so many human tragedies like me, you will also have such feelings. ”

Fan Xiaoqian didn't speak, just concentrated on finding the gray hair.

Xing Peng changed the topic at the right time: "Yesterday, the director held an important meeting in the Winter Garden, and decided to hold a 'public memorial' for the victims of the Alien Whisper incident. ”

Fan Xiaoqian asked, "Do you pay tribute to the inspectors who died?" ”

Xing Peng shook his head again: "No, pay tribute to all the victims in this city." ”

The "all" in it deliberately accentuates the tone.

Fan Xiaoqian was surprised: "Including the dead civilians? ”

Xing Peng nodded: "Of course." ”

Fan Xiaoqian stopped her movements and asked a little confused: "There are so many civilians involved, should the Council of Ministers come forward?" ”

Xing Peng asked rhetorically: "Over the years, has the Council held a public memorial for civilians?" ”

Fan Xiaoqian thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't seem to have ever in my impression." ”

Xing Peng's tone carried a hint of pride: "The director said that what the council hall does not do, we will do it by the inspection department, and the more adversity we face, the more we cannot give up." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "The Administrator said that Anhua City needs to gather unyielding strength in grief, and this is the meaning of the public sacrifice. ”

Fan Xiaoqian savored this sentence and couldn't help but say: "Your director will definitely become a great person in the future." ”

Xing Peng and Yourongyan: "I never doubted. ”

In today's Inspectorate, the new inspector general is regarded as the backbone of the commissioner's faction and the brightest rising star.

Interestingly, although Xing Peng has never spoken to the director and has only met with each other a few times, he himself thinks so.

Fan Xiaoqian suddenly reacted: "You suddenly talked about the public sacrifice, is your work today related to the public sacrifice?" ”

Xing Peng sighed: "I was transferred to the public memorial organization group, and my job is to invite the families of the victims to participate in the public memorial. ”

Fan Xiaoqian understood what this meant, and said "oh": "This is a very heavy task. ”

Xing Peng stretched out his hand and straightened his hat and repeated his previous words: "Some things have to be done, and the director has set the best example for us." ”

Fan Xiaoqian looked at her fiancΓ© distressedly, and hugged him with her arms outstretched.

Xing Peng felt the warmth of his delicate body and muttered, "At first, I felt that it was an honor to put on the inspector's uniform, but now I am beginning to feel that it is a responsibility. ”

Fan Xiaoqian felt that her fiancΓ© was very remarkable, and hugged her tighter.

After a while.

Fan Xiaoqian suddenly heard a heavy snort.

If she realized something, she unconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful, and couldn't help but smile and smile: "Just now, I was righteous and strict, but now I have become a beast again, you ......"

I'm not done.

Fan Xiaoqian exclaimed.

Because she was hugged by a pair of strong arms, there was a laughing voice in her ears: "Xiaoqian, you hugged it too tightly!" ”

*

Half an hour later.

Xing Peng experienced a "morning workout" that was not too intense, and once again put on his uniform and left the house.

He rode the feathered beast given by his father-in-law, arrived at the outpost first, and then joined another inspector, whose name was "Ma Shouyi", and officially began today's work.

The two took a mastiff and walked into a nearby community, and according to the list of victims counted by the outpost, they found a family.

The two inspectors stood in front of the door, both with solemn faces.

Ma Shouyi took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Inspector, I'll knock on the door." ”

Xing Peng nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

Ma Shouyi straightened his hat, took a few steps forward, and knocked on the wooden door lightly.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Ma Shouyi used his voice transmission skills to send his voice to the door: "Is Ms. Liu at home?" We are the inspectors of the third post. ”

A few seconds later.

Scattered footsteps rang out from inside the door.

"Squeak!"

The door was pulled open.

A middle-aged lady with a haggard face and red and swollen eyes met the eyes of the two.

Xing Peng took the lead in taking off his hat and nodded politely: "Ms. Liu, excuse me." ”

The middle-aged lady cautiously asked, "Is there something wrong with the two of you?" ”

Xing Peng Zhengse said: "Madam, the Inspection Department apologizes deeply for what happened to the honored husband. ”

When the middle-aged lady heard the word "respectful husband", she immediately burst into tears.

On the night of the Alien Word incident, her husband was on duty at the company when he encountered a basilisk and was brutally dismembered.

Xing Peng was a little afraid to look the other party in the eyes: "The Inspection Department is scheduled to hold a public memorial ceremony in Dongshan Park at ten o'clock in the morning two days later to pay tribute to the Venerable Husband and other victims. ”

Tears flowed down the eyes of the middle-aged lady.

Xing Peng thought of his colleague who had turned into a basilisk, and felt that every word was extremely heavy: "Although there is nothing that can make up for your loss, the council will provide a pension to help your family get through this difficult time." ”

Both inspectors were aware that, despite the fact that the Council had promised to provide pensions to the civilians who had died, the mobilization of funds had been extremely slow.

The Governor was very unhappy with this, and this move was to force the Council to issue the pension as soon as possible.

If the money still can't be paid before the memorial day, then don't blame the Inspectorate for slapping the consul in the face in front of the whole city.

Xing Peng lowered his eyelids: "Madam, we sincerely invite you to attend." ”

Ma Shouyi hurriedly handed over an exquisite invitation.

In the past, most of the inspectors looked down in front of civilians.

But at this time, the two of them looked like they were in a low voice.

The middle-aged lady's voice was choked: "Thank you both, I will be on time." ”

Xing Peng breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, please also mourn." ”

He put on his hat and greeted again: "Please allow us to take our leave." ”

The middle-aged lady choked up and couldn't speak.

Xing Peng sighed secretly and quickly turned around and left.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard a loud cry behind him.

"Woo~"

Xing Peng's footsteps faltered for a moment, and he only felt that this work was the most difficult task to complete in his life.

Ma Shouyi muttered in a low voice, "I'd rather fight the basilisk." ”
