Seeing Qin Bai come out carrying a box of instant noodles, Wu Ming's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Almost half a month has passed, and Qin Bai can still produce a box of instant noodles, which means he has even more food!
Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Wu Ming's mind. As a policeman, he would never do something like stealing someone else's food.
But this time, he obtained the food through legitimate means.
"This box contains 20 packets of instant noodles. Ten packets are for you, and you can share the rest with the others."
Seeing the instant noodles Qin Bai had placed on the ground, Wu Ming didn't pick them up first. Instead, he asked, "I want to know what you're going to do to Dong Zisheng. He's been arrested and is awaiting legal judgment."
"Judgment by law?"
Qin Bai's lips curled into a strange smile as he looked at Wu Ming.
Clearly, Wu Ming was unaware of just how terrifying this disaster was.
Wu Ming, who was feeling a little uncomfortable under Qin Bai's gaze, was about to speak when he heard Qin Bai's voice.
"Officer Wu, right? How long do you think this disaster will last?"
Wu Ming said solemnly, "No matter how long it takes, I will believe that we can get through this disaster."
It must be said that Wu Ming's answer was quite good, but unfortunately reality is never that kind of rosy.
"What if I told you that this disaster wouldn't stop anytime soon? What if the disaster lasts for a year or two, or even more than ten years? What do you think would happen?"
Wu Ming isn't stupid; how could a fool become a policeman?
In less than a month, several people have already died in the neighborhood. If this goes on for a while, he seriously suspects that a small country could be established in the neighborhood!
This is not impossible. You know, in a neighboring island nation, during the Warring States period, a village was considered a country.
A hundred soldiers constitute an army!
Compared to that area, nowadays a small community has at least several thousand people, and some larger communities can have over ten thousand people in just one area.
If ten years have passed and the disaster has not changed, the country probably won't even exist anymore; there will be small countries everywhere!
Wu Ming shuddered and quickly came to his senses: "Impossible, how could there be such an exaggerated disaster in the world? Absolutely impossible!"
"Have you ever seen a snowstorm that covers an entire country, or even the entire world? Has such a thing ever happened in recorded history?"
Qin Bai's words once again silenced Wu Ming.
This disaster was truly astonishing; the temperature dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius, a temperature that is only possible at the poles.
The key issue is that the disaster happened too suddenly. It's August or September now, which should be the hottest time of the year.
"So you're trying to persuade me not to stop you? If you hit someone, you'll be breaking the law."
Wu Ming said to Qin Bai with a serious expression.
He had a fairly good impression of Qin Bai and didn't want Qin Bai to ruin his future because of a moment of anger.
Qin Bai laughed and said, "Officer Wu, you underestimate me. The reason I put a bounty on him is simply because he killed someone and then tried to frame me."
"Officer Wu, ask yourself honestly, if you were in this situation, wouldn't you be angry?"
Wu Ming wanted to say that he wouldn't be angry, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
To be honest, if he were the one who was framed, he would probably be even angrier than Qin Bai, and would want to skin the person who framed him alive.
He was a policeman, though he hadn't successfully joined the force; in his heart, he already considered himself a policeman.
If Qin Bai were to commit any act of violence against Dong Zisheng in front of him, he himself would not be able to forgive himself.
“I’m very angry, but the law is the law. I don’t want this box of instant noodles. Just pretend I was never here.”
With that, Wu Ming was about to leave with Dong Zisheng.
But Qin Bai stopped him.
Seeing Wu Ming's puzzled look, Qin Bai smiled and said, "Officer Wu, I admire your character, so please take this box of instant noodles. I said it, and I can't go back on my word."
“If you don’t take the instant noodles out, those people might be afraid of your identity as a police officer and won’t dare to make a move, but they will definitely say some nasty things.”
"If I'm not mistaken, Officer Wu should be married by now. With these instant noodles, your family can have a slightly better life."
Qin Bai truly understands human nature; every word he says hits the spot in Wu Ming's heart that he can't refuse.
He also knew that if he didn't take the instant noodles with him, those people would definitely complain about him, after all, they had gone to such lengths to find Dong Zisheng just for Qin Bai's instant noodles.
And most importantly, his family didn't have much food left, and these ten packets of instant noodles could last them for a while.
Wu Ming licked his slightly chapped lips and looked at Qin Bai, who seemed harmless to the naked eye.
For someone so young to see things so clearly, he could no longer refuse.
I owe you a favor.
Wu Ming said.
Unlike most people who would simply wave their hands in refusal, Qin Bai actually accepted the favor.
Qin Bai was thinking about the future. He could kill people, but he absolutely could not kill people in public, unless the world's order had completely collapsed.
Otherwise, he would present himself as an ordinary person, or even a good person.
"Officer Wu, have you considered this question?"
"What's the problem?"
"You've captured Dong Zisheng, which means you have to restrict all his movements, but what about his food?"
Wu Ming fell silent immediately; he hadn't considered this issue at all before.
He captured Dong Zisheng and wanted him to face legal judgment, but with the snow disaster so severe, it was impossible for anyone to come and take Dong Zisheng away.
In other words, he will have to take care of Dong Zisheng's food from now on!
"I'll take care of it, thanks for the instant noodles."
Wu Ming picked up the instant noodles with one hand and pulled Dong Zisheng's rope with the other as they walked downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, everyone was waiting in the lobby. When they saw the instant noodles in Wu Ming's hand, their eyes lit up.
There were eight people here, each with a bag of instant noodles. Two bags were given to the two men who carried the body earlier, and the remaining ten bags belonged to Wu Ming. No one cared about them.
Everyone was happy, since one bag of instant noodles was enough for one person to eat for two days.
They were quite puzzled that Dong Zisheng was still there. They all thought that Dong Zisheng should have been handed over to Qin Bai by Wu Ming to vent his anger.
They even thought that Dong Zisheng might be beaten to death by Qin Bai in a fit of rage.
If anyone else had died, they might have said something, but with the murderer Dong Zisheng dead, they would only clap their hands in celebration.
