It was noon.
The restaurant was filled with customers.
But the waiter disappeared.
Manager Gao stood in front of the front hall door, looking outside, his face turning ashen with anger.
But he didn't ask for any wages, so he couldn't say anything wrong after he left.
In fact, after thinking about it for a while, Manager Gao actually felt a little secretly happy.
It’s better to leave.
All in all, the boy worked for about a month and five days, and was paid twenty-three cents!
Even if he comes back to work, I will have an excuse to deduct his previous salary!
Manager Gao took off his high-end clothes, put on coarse cloth clothes, and temporarily acted as the waiter in the store.
...
...
When the restaurant business was not good in the past, he had always been both the boss and the waiter.
He is very familiar with this job.
but.
After working for a while, he discovered a problem.
How come there is one bottle missing from my store’s collection of fine wine?
Did he just sell a bottle?
Shopkeeper Gao was beaming with joy.
Although this kind of wine is expensive, the profit is also high.
Today, not only did I save Lin Yu's twenty-three cents in wages, I also earned a lot. It was really the blessing of the God of Wealth.
but.
The happiness did not last for two minutes. When the guests at that table came to pay the bill, Manager Gao was dumbfounded.
The guests at that table actually said that the bottle of wine was given by the waiter in the store!
A gift!
That table of customers are regular customers who often come to the restaurant to eat, so it is impossible for them to lie.
There is no way I would offend an old customer just because of a bottle of wine!
Manager Gao suddenly felt a little upset.
…
It took Lin Yu a few minutes to arrive at the signboard in front of the yamen.
There are more than a dozen portraits on the sign.
These are the constables from Sanxia Town.
Posting the portrait on the bulletin board is actually used to prove the identity of the constable.
The portraits are painted in a very ordinary way.
But Lin Yu still found Gangzi's portrait among more than a dozen avatars.
There is a mole on the left side of Gangzi's chin, which is very easy to identify.
Of course, in addition to the portrait, in each portrait
The two words "Zhao Gang" were prominently listed.
Lin Yu's bad premonition became stronger.
Sanxia Town is not big, and there doesn't seem to be any evil people there. Normally, the job of a constable is to help an old lady cross the street at most.
But unexpectedly, something happened in the town recently.
According to that guy Xiankelai, two constables died and three girls went missing.
These two things may be related.
But this is not important. What is important is that Gangzi actually became a constable in Sanxia Town.
Lin Yu also knew something about Gangzi's personality and thoughts, but he never thought of him as a constable.
After all, in Lin Yu's opinion, if you want to work in the government, you must at least be able to write.
But Gangzi is obviously not that kind of person.
I don’t know whether it is lucky or unlucky to be a constable.
Lin Yu was a little anxious.
Now, he needs to find out as soon as possible whether Gangzi is among the two dead constables.
…
If the physical attribute wasn't so useful, Lin Yu really wanted to add some more metaphysical attributes.
Although, Lin Yu didn't know whether it was the metaphysical attributes that were at work.
Anyway, just when Lin Yu didn't know what to do next, he suddenly found that next to the portraits on the bulletin board, there was a job recruitment notice!
The one we are recruiting is the constable!
It was written in black and white, and there was also the official seal of the government.
The weirdest thing is that the ink doesn't seem to have dried yet.
It's absolutely amazing.
Whatever you want, you will get it.
There is no need to hesitate.
Although becoming a constable was not in Lin Yu's life plan, for Gangzi and the old village chief's dying wish, Lin Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and attend the interview.
The atmosphere in the government office seems to be a little off recently.
Lin Yu felt it as soon as he walked in.
It seems a little depressing.
Everyone I met looked unhappy.
Moreover, it seems that the requirements for recruiting constables are a bit low.
The examiner of the interview was the captain of the police in the yamen. He just asked Lin Yu to take off his shirt, checked his body to see if he had any disabilities or injuries, and then asked Lin Yu to lift a stone on the ground. That was considered passing.
No wonder an uneducated guy like Gangzi could become a constable.
It turns out that being a constable does not require literacy.
What surprised Lin Yu was that in just half a day, the yamen recruited more than 30 new constables.
Even the uniforms for the detectives are not ready yet.
Standing in the courtyard of the yamen, the captain of the detective team explained the job responsibilities to the newly recruited detectives.
All the old detectives were present.
Lin Yu didn't hear clearly what the captain of the police said.
Because Lin Yu did not find Gangzi among those old detectives.
There was his portrait and name on the notice board outside, but there was no trace of him in the yamen. The result was obvious.
Lin Yu stood in the courtyard of the yamen, surrounded by young men. The captain of the detectives in front of him was still envisioning a bright future for the new detectives.
But Lin Yu’s mind was in a mess.
He thought of the old village chief.
Lin Yu still remembers what it felt like to hold the old village chief's calloused hands in his own.
I thought of Gangzi again.
That child followed him around all day, calling him Uncle Lin all the time.
Those were the only relatives the old village chief had in this world.
The old village chief asked me to help look after Gangzi.
Lin Yu felt a little regretful.
I should have caught up with Gangzi immediately after he ran away from home.
Maybe he has already gone home with me now.
Even if he didn't go home, as long as I was by his side, I didn't think anyone would be able to kill him.
That’s right!
Someone killed him!
Lin Yu suddenly thought of a question.
Gangzi’s death was definitely not a natural disaster.
Someone killed him!
Lin Yu felt that he must avenge Xiaogang.
Of course, Lin Yu also knew that even if he avenged Xiaogang, he would have broken his promise.
But at least this will make me feel a little better.
Lin Yu sorted out his mood.
The thought of revenge has completely overshadowed the sadness and grief.
Then, Lin Yu raised his head and looked forward.
If you want revenge, you must first integrate into this place. The guy who killed Gangzi will definitely appear again!
By then...
Lin Yu clenched his hands into fists, making crackling sounds.
…
"Now, start grouping."
"In groups of four."
"One team leader and three team members."
"The team leaders are all veteran detectives. Each veteran detective will lead three new detectives. They will take turns on duty starting tonight!"
The captain of the detectives was arranging the work up there.
The thirty or so new detectives were all very excited.
Being able to become a constable means a stable job.
They feel very lucky.
However, the smiles on the faces of those dozen or so veteran detectives looked fake.
I don’t know if he was trying to deal with these newcomers or if he was smiling for the captain.
The team of detectives increased, and they all became team leaders, which was considered a promotion. However, after knowing the truth, they could not be happy at all.
…
Time flies.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Lin Yu has also gained a firm foothold in the government.
During this half month.
The newly joined detectives also learned what happened in Sanxia Town through various channels.
It is said that a member of a demon cult has set his sights on Sanxia Town.
Not only did they capture several girls, they also killed two constables.
Therefore, the government massively expanded the recruitment of detectives, hoping to win by numbers!
Almost all the newly joined detectives regretted their decision.
But it's too late to regret.
Joining the police force is somewhat similar to joining the army, easy to get in but hard to get out.
Running away is desertion, which is a crime.
No one knows where the Demon Cult is, and no one has ever seen anyone from the Demon Cult.
However, everyone is convinced that what happened in Sanxia Town was done by the people from the Demon Cult.
Because, apart from the two constables who were killed, all the missing people in the town were young and beautiful women.
In the past half month, three more women have disappeared.
Together with the previous three, there are six now.
For half a month, Lin Yu followed his master on patrol every day.
There were two newcomers together.
One is called Wenxuan and the other is called Ziang.
Lin Yu’s master is the leader of this four-member team, named Qi Wang.
Together with Lin Yu, the four of them happened to form a magnificent group.
Qi Wang is in his fifties. It is said that if he can hold on for another two years, he can apply for retirement.
He always smiled when he spoke and was recognized as a good guy in the yamen.
Qi Wang took good care of the three newcomers assigned to him.
He always said that if you encounter someone from the Demon Cult, the three of you must not fight them head-on, and the most important thing is to protect your own lives first.
If someone is needed to hold back the people from the Demon Cult, let him do it himself.
After all, I have lived in this world for more than 50 years, and I am content.
And they are still young and have a good time.
These words moved the other two new detectives very much.
But Lin Yu didn't feel anything.
He didn't want to run, he just wanted to meet the guy who killed Gangzi as soon as possible and punch him.
