Chapter 50 Diligence

District 3, Law Enforcer Headquarters.

"Chen Ling, right?"

After carefully checking Chen Ling's identity, a law enforcer handed him two sets of black and red uniforms and a law enforcer certificate.

After Chen Ling changed his clothes, he had lunch at the headquarters. In the afternoon, he took the oath of office in the square of the headquarters, and then the leader gave a speech. This set of procedures made Chen Ling feel more and more like returning to modern society...

Even nearly four hundred years after the catastrophe, some human habits have been continued, from which we can glimpse the shadow of civilization before the catastrophe.

The only thing that surprised Chen Ling was that the "leader" who spoke was not Han Meng, but another two-striped law enforcer who had not been seen much.

"Where is Chief Han Meng? Why is he not speaking?" A law enforcer next to him also asked.

"Don't you know? I heard that the law enforcement officer of District 3 rebelled two days ago... It was Ma Zhong, who led two other law enforcement officers to plot against Chief Han Meng, but was killed in the end."

"Ah??? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. It is said that Chief Han Meng was furious that night, and before Aurora City approved the official documents, he executed Ma Zhong and three other officers on the spot, and also killed more than 50 law enforcement officers who had conflicts of interest with them... Didn't you notice that there were fewer law enforcement officers present today?"

"Oh my god, killing so many people in one breath, isn't this cutting off the arms of the law enforcement officers of District 3? ? Commander Han Meng is so cruel? "

"Now there are only two law enforcement officers left in the entire third district... One is Commander Han Meng, and the other is Xi Renjie on the stage; this Xi Renjie was promoted by Commander Han Meng. Although he is only a second-level officer, he has a clean background. "

"But I heard that because Commander Han Meng did not report in time and killed people privately, Aurora City was very angry and might have to deal with him during this period. "

"So he didn't show up..."

"Alas, what a pity."

"..."

Hearing the conversation on the side, Chen Ling's eyebrows rose slightly.

He suddenly remembered what Han Meng said in his home yesterday afternoon after a long silence: "Whether you believe me or not, I have been fulfilling my duties... If you really think that this world lacks justice, you might as well become it yourself."

Chu Muyun's previous evaluation of Han Meng also said that he has a sense of justice... From this point of view, Han Meng seems to have something.

After the law enforcement officer Xi Renjie finished his speech, he began to assign tasks to the newcomers and the streets they would be responsible for patrolling from now on. As the only law enforcer who came out of Frost Street this year, Chen Ling was naturally assigned to Frost Street.

After Han Meng cleared the law enforcers in the three districts, the law enforcers were indeed much cleaner...

While thinking this, Chen Ling walked out of the headquarters and headed straight for Frost Street.

On the first day of work as a law enforcer, he needed to patrol his own streets and let the residents on the street get familiar with him. This was also another form of "declaring sovereignty". This was the internal rule of the law enforcers.

Since he put on this dress and walked out of the law enforcer headquarters, passers-by on the road saw him and walked around him, and even dared not look him in the eye.

"Sir... Want a peach?"

An old voice came from the side.

Chen Ling turned his head and saw a white-haired old lady pushing a wooden cart full of peaches, speaking hoarsely.

"No, thank you." Chen Ling waved his hand to refuse.

"Sir, please try it... I brought this from District 4 this morning. The peaches there are good and cheap..." She grabbed Chen Ling's collar, her cloudy eyes full of pleading.

Chen Ling looked in the direction of her body, and saw a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying on the fruit cart full of peaches. The cold wind blew across the ground, and he seemed to be shaking.

"Take a bite. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay." She picked out the biggest peach from the cart, wiped it carefully with the hem of her clothes for a while, and handed it to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling didn't eat it because he was not sure if there was anything else inside the peach, such as... poison.

When this thought came to his mind, he was shocked... because he was not like this before.

If it was him before the catastrophe... No, even if it was him yesterday, he would definitely help. Although he couldn't help much, at least he could buy a few peaches, which was considered a kind heart.

This is his kindness and perseverance, and now, these things seem to fade a little bit...

Chen Ling and the old woman looked at each other for a moment, and then said:

"How much do these peaches cost?"

"One copper coin per pound."

"Give me two pounds." Chen Ling took out two copper coins from her arms expressionlessly and handed them to her.

Seeing this, the old woman immediately took the copper coins with both hands, bowed to Chen Ling several times, muttered thank you, and then picked a few of the biggest peaches from the cart and put them in the bag.

At the same time, Chen Ling suddenly said:

"The child has a fever, take him to get some medicine."

Chen Ling, who has the [Secret Eye], saw at a glance that the baby on the cart was not in a good condition, and reminded him.

The old woman paused, and struggle and guilt appeared in her eyes when she looked at the baby, but she still didn't say anything, but silently picked two more peaches for Chen Ling.

She didn't weigh them, but Chen Ling could tell with her naked eyes that the two bags of peaches were definitely more than two kilograms.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..." After thanking Chen Ling repeatedly, she pushed the cart forward.

Until she met the next pedestrian, she hurried forward and said with a pleading voice: "Sir, do you want peaches? Peaches pushed from District 4..."

The cold wind made her and the baby's faces red, but it did not blow down the old and weak body.

Chen Ling touched his pocket and shook his head helplessly.

He only bought two kilograms, purely because he only had two copper coins in his pocket... The silver coins he got from Qian Fan had long been thrown into the pool of blood in the courtyard.

As soon as he walked onto Frost Street, he found that many people were secretly standing at their doorsteps, looking in this direction... They saw Chen Ling coming in uniform and whispered to each other.

"Hey, sir Chen Ling!"

The first store on the street was the cake shop that Chen Ling had visited before.

When the boss saw Chen Ling coming, he immediately smiled flatteringly, "Chief Chen Ling, you look so handsome in this outfit!"

"Boss Li." Chen Ling walked to the door of the store, looked at the residents of Frost Street at their doorsteps, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Oh, everyone is here to see you!"

"See me?"

"Yes, the law enforcer who was originally responsible for patrolling our Frost Street was said to have been killed by Chief Han Meng... Today is the day when the new law enforcer takes office, and everyone wants to see who will have the final say on this street in the future...

The list of law enforcers who passed the assessment was released on the street that day, and everyone guessed that it might be you, after all, you are from our Frost Street...

Look, you are here as expected!"
