Chapter 20: If I Am Not Polite and Happy, I Should Behaved (5,000 Words)
This is Lu Xuan's second visit to the Ombudsman building.
Unlike the people who come and go during the day, there are not many people in the Ombudsman building at this moment, and there is only one reception at the front desk.
"Hurry up!" The bald supervisor pushed Lu Xuan and Wu Xiaoxu, who was crying, and scolded in his mouth: "Lao Tzu has to work overtime in the middle of the night, his grandmother's ......"
Lu Xuan's pace was not chaotic, but Wu Xiaoxu stumbled and cried a little louder.
He is still a child in the end, unlike Lu Xuan, who fled all the way from Qianlong City, he has never seen much of the world, and he is frightened and scared at this time, and the more he cries, the louder he cryes.
The night shift at the front desk, the originally sleepy reception brother was annoyed by the crying,
He raised his head in a daze and said hello:
"Brother Jiu, escort the prisoners...... You're so dedicated! ”
Bald head monitors a faint chin:
"Hmm."
He didn't think much of these so-called 'colleagues', the difference between the status of the civilian and combat sequences of the Ombudsman, one on the ground and the other in the sky.
After all, one side is an ordinary person, while the other side is a cultivator, a 'great master'.
The reception brother seemed to be accustomed to it, and did not care, but the flattering smile on his face was even worse, and while greeting him warmly, he glanced at the two young 'prisoners'.
He was slightly stunned, feeling that one of the 'prisoners' was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Without waiting for the reception brother to recall carefully, the bald inspector had already escorted Lu Xuan and Wu Xiaoxu into the interrogation room at the back.
Seeing this, he didn't bother to think about it, held his head again, and dozed off.
The interrogation room of the Ombudsman had an eerie smell, and the lights were dim, but the surrounding walls were brightly lit, and they looked very white and even a little frightening.
"Stay honest!" The bald supervisor put Lu Xuan and Wu Xiaoxu on the interrogation chair, scolding and swearing,
The middle-aged inspector who was on duty at the door smiled:
"Aren't you going to catch a wanted criminal? Why did you bring back two little kids? ”
"Didn't catch it!" The bald inspector shrugged his shoulders: "These two little dolls, one is the son of a wanted criminal, and the other is suspected of being an accomplice and co-defendant, I will bring them back." ”
As he spoke, he yawned again:
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll go back to catch up on sleep first, his grandmother's ......."
"Catch up on sleep?" The middle-aged inspector frowned: "Aren't you going to continue to track down the whereabouts of the wanted criminal?" ”
The bald head was stunned:
"I'll go tomorrow, what am I going to do on this big night? It's almost ...... to be idle."
"You don't know?"
The middle-aged inspector looked a little more serious:
"This case was submitted by Sakata Heavy Industries, Director Ji attaches great importance to it, and recently there have been rumors that a deputy director will be parachuted over, and your work attitude is ......"
"And this?" The bald man's face changed: "Sakata Heavy Industries...... Why don't they catch it themselves? What do you want us to do...... And what about the Deputy Director?? ”
On the interrogation chair, Wu Xiaoxu was still sobbing, while Lu Xuan calmly raised his head, listened attentively, and thought thoughtfully.
Sakata Heavy Industries...... It's Sakata Heavy Industries again.
How could Uncle Wu offend Sakata Heavy Industries?
At this time, the middle-aged inspector was probably bored, and explained very patiently:
"To be precise, the Tokai City Branch of Sakata Heavy Industries handed over the information of the wanted criminals, and there is no specific charge, it is estimated that we are just going through the motions."
After a pause, he added:
"As for the deputy director, it is said that he was the one who killed the owner of the White Elephant Pavilion two days ago."
The bald supervisor suddenly realized:
"It's the one, I've heard that two punches hammered a marrow martial artist to death...... It seems to be a killing embryo too! ”
After thinking about it, he didn't plan to go back to rest, and touched his chin:
"Well, it's not a good thing that the boss has an extra embryo killer...... In this way, I will go to the underground black market in the west of the city to see if I can find some good things, and when the time comes, I will honor the new deputy director, how about you? ”
"Bring one for me." The middle-aged inspector thought about it and said with a smile: "I'll transfer the money to you when I go back...... Okay, I'll go and report to the above, after all, there is a son of a wanted criminal, and Director Ji should be interested. ”
"Gotcha!"
The two inspectors closed the door of the interrogation room, and some talked and laughed away.
But Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a dull brilliance.
"Sakata Heavy Industries...... Wanted without charge...... Gift-giving ......."
He smiled softly, his face flashing with disappointment, this was not the great Ombudsman he imagined.
Without any evidence, just by virtue of a big consortium, or even just a word from a branch of a big consortium, people are arbitrarily listed as wanted criminals,
When the new deputy director is coming, the first thing he thinks about is how to give gifts......
Lu Xuan lowered his head and shrunk his body, feeling a little cold.
He couldn't help but think of the eight words that the teacher had said in the dream.
"Etiquette collapses, and turmoil begins."
Although Donghai City is only one of the hundreds of thousands of cities in Langya Province, and even Langya Province is only one of the dozens of federal provinces on the Ancestral Star,
However, take a small look at the big one......
Lu Xuan's heart became even heavier.
............
At three o'clock in the morning, Sakata Heavy Industries, Tokai City Branch Building.
The head of the intelligence department is working overtime as usual.
After reading the report that had just been submitted by the Ombudsman, he hesitated for a moment and made a phone call.
"My lord, it's me."
On the other end of the phone, the person in charge of Sakata Heavy Industries' branch in Donghai City said calmly:
"Tell me, what's going on today?"
"It's just that the wanted criminal Wu Datong has landed a little bit and caught his son and a close person, do you want to report it to the headquarters?"
"What do you think?" The person in charge scolded unceremoniously: "The headquarters doesn't know that Wu Datong has a whereabouts in Donghai City, we report it now, it's good to catch it later, if we don't catch it, what will the people above think of us?" ”
The head of the intelligence department shrunk his neck:
"But my lord, after all, this is the person mentioned in the document issued by the headquarters to each city branch, and if you don't report it, something will go wrong......
On the other end of the phone, the person in charge was silent for a long time, and then spoke earnestly:
"You're still too young...... If that Wu Datong was really an important and key person, would the headquarters issue a document so hastily and let all the branches pay attention to it? ”
The director thought for a moment and didn't dare to answer.
The person in charge continued:
"He is really an important person, the headquarters has already sent all the celestials, and even dispatched the earth immortals to arrest them all over the world! Unless that Wu Datong is a top-notch existence that surpasses the earth immortals, the headquarters symbolically walks through the motions, but do you think this is possible? ”
The director hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Wan ...... What if? ”
"What if?" The person in charge was even more unceremonious: "Where did you get so many in case?" ”
"The most important thing is that I am about to be promoted, and if there is a name for incompetence at this juncture....... After I left, the position of the person in charge of Donghai City is yours, understand? ”
"I see, sir!" The head of the intelligence department nodded with a wry smile, and after hanging up the phone, he paced back and forth, always feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.
After a long time, he sighed:
"That's it, it's better to be honest and obedient, if something really goes wrong, the sky will fall, and it won't be my turn to be the first to go to the top......"
After a pause, he pursed his lips again and said to himself:
"Moreover, if it turns out to be true, then the level of confrontation is not mine, and it is not something that this small branch can mix...... No, how can it be so coincidental? ”
Thinking of this, he chuckled softly.
In this era, the number of cultivators who took the first step to build the jade tower was indeed quite large, but by the time of the heavenly beings, the number had decreased sharply by geometric multiples.
Not to mention the land immortals......
As for the terrifying characters above the land immortals?
It's just a few, how can you appear in Donghai City and run to be a barefoot doctor?
It's ridiculous!
............
Half past four in the morning.
In the Ombudsman building, the door to the interrogation room was opened, and the middle-aged inspector spoke in a blunt tone:
"Which one is Wu Xiaoxu?"
"Yes...... It's me! Wu Xiaoxu spoke timidly.
"Let's go." The middle-aged inspector opened the shackles for him and was about to take him away, but the latter cried profusely, thinking that he was going to be 'disposed of'.
The middle-aged monitor is a little impatient:
"What are you crying about? You've been crying all night! ”
Seeing that he was murdering himself, Wu Xiaoxu sobbed:
"I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......"
He had already heard that the Ombudsman was a real tiger pit and wolf's den, and ordinary people had to take off a layer of skin when they entered!
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxu let out a 'wow' and cried unscrupulously.
Lu Xuan also raised his head at this time, and asked softly to the middle-aged supervisor:
"Excuse me, where are you going to take Xiao Xu?"
The temper of the middle-aged supervisor is much better than the bald head before, and he has a headache and helplessness at this time:
"Our Director is going to interrogate him personally...... Okay, don't cry, no one wants your life! ”
Wu Xiaoxu stopped sobbing at this time, but his little eyes kept glancing around, obviously flustered.
Lu Xuan thought for a while, and asked softly:
"Excuse me, can I go along? I would like to meet Director Ji. ”
"What's the matter with you?" The middle-aged superintendent said impatiently: "Stay here honestly, you are not Wu Datong's son...... I know you've probably been wronged, don't worry, if you really have nothing to do with the wanted criminal, you'll be released in a few days! ”
Lu Xuan's expression was calm, and he spoke very sincerely:
"I should be what you said earlier, the new deputy director, but my appointment hasn't come down yet."
The middle-aged supervisor and Wu Xiaoxu froze, and the two of them looked sideways at the same time, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, the former was speechless:
"Okay, don't make trouble here, don't talk nonsense about some things, that is, me, another person, I'm afraid you really have to stay here for the rest of your life...... Stay honest, I'll be in a good mood later, and maybe I'll be able to bring you a breakfast! ”
After speaking, the middle-aged inspector walked out of the interrogation room with Wu Xiaoxu, Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but there was a slight smile on his face.
Maybe, maybe in this era, this world, will not be [etiquette collapse]?
Since there is no [etiquette collapse], then you should follow the rules of etiquette.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan gave up breaking the handcuffs, and just sat quietly and waited quietly.
"As long as there are people who follow the rules, then I will follow the rules, and those who don't follow the rules, I will make them become obedient in the future."
He muttered to himself, planting a seed in his heart.
Although I have seen the bones of Qianlong City, the sinister hearts of the people on the way to escape, and the deceit of the shantytowns......
But Lu Xuan still has expectations for this world.
For no reason, he remembered the girl in the library, and the smile on his face was even greater, and his expectations for the world were greater.
"There are always good people."
............
At 5:40 in the morning, Butcher Zheng returned home depressed, sighing:
"I did my best."
Sister-in-law Zheng rolled her eyes:
"Let's just say that your fox friends can't be trusted!"
"Nope!" Butcher Zheng argued: "You also know that the water in the Inspectorate is too deep after all...... Is there any news from Ko-san? ”
Sister-in-law Zheng nodded, shook her head again, and said:
"The phone was not changed, but I called another woman to answer, saying that it was Xiaosang's nanny, let's call again at dawn."
After a pause, she said enviously:
"Xiao Sang is really amazing now, he has a nanny...... Okay, I'm not going to sleep, I'll make another call at seven or eight o'clock, you can rest quickly, and I'll have to go out of the stall later! ”
"I'm not going!" Butcher Zheng sat on the bed and lit a cigarette: "Lu Boy has no fixed decision, I am not at peace in my heart, and I don't have the heart to go out!" ”
Sister-in-law Zheng rarely didn't scold him, just nodded silently, then supported her chin and yawned sleepily.
In a trance, she remembered the scene of the first time she saw the Lu boy.
It was seven years ago, when it was snowing heavily, Old Man Chu led the Lu boy who had just picked it up to recognize the door, Lao Zheng was out of the stall, and he was infected with the wind cold and wrapped in a quilt.
On that day, it was Lu Xiaozi who ran to grab medicine for the person he saw for the first time, and the nine-year-old child boiled water and boiled medicine, and swept the snow in front of the door, what did he say......
"Aunt Zheng, the snow is too thick and too high, you have to sweep it, otherwise it will melt halfway, and the snow will pour into the house, and then the house will be very humid, and your illness will be slower to heal."
Sister-in-law Zheng, who has always been tricky and mean, couldn't help but ask again:
"Haven't you heard a saying, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others......"
And Lu Xuan, who was only nine years old at the time, just raised his head strangely:
"Aunt Zheng, this is not right, it is too ...... It's so impersonal, wouldn't it be better if I swept the snow in front of your door for you, and you removed the tiles and frosted for me? ”
Sister-in-law Zheng looked at the child's bright eyes and lowered her head a little ashamedly.
............
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaosang's phone was connected.
Sister-in-law Zheng cheered up and recounted the matter as it was, and at the end, she added:
"Xiao Sang, Lu Xiaozi is a good boy."
On the other end of the phone, Li Xiaosang was silent for a moment and said:
"I'm not in Donghai City right now, but I'll make two phone calls to the branch of Longque Technology in Donghai City, which may not be possible, but I'll do my best."
"Thank you, thank you!"
............
Half past eight in the morning, Tokai High School Library.
Yan Jiangxue sat in her original seat, but she was not so focused on reading today, and she had to raise her head from time to time and glance at the door of the library.
While looking, she touched the dried meat she had prepared in her pocket, and there was a faint treasure light flowing on the jerky.
"Lu Xuan, he will definitely like to eat."
"What good food will he bring me today? Sugar sautéed chestnuts or roasted sweet potatoes? Could it be the roasted corn he said yesterday? ”
Thinking of this, Yan Jiangxue smiled unconsciously, just like the bright morning glow and the pleasant spring breeze,
A few students passing by on the side were a little stupid, and immediately looked at each other, all of which were incredible.
Hell, this iceberg actually laughed!
