Chapter 86: Young and Frivolous, Old and Prudent
Ji Chen came out of the county government office and went to the patrol office again.
In the patrol office, Xing Gaoxi sat on a chair with a sad face, playing with two walnuts in his hands. He had put his constables back to arrange family affairs.
At the same time, he sent a few people to the demon-suppressing office to help clean up the yard. If the blood mud in the yard was left exposed, it might change, encounter evil spirits, and even attract monsters.
As the chief constable of Qinghe County, he had to take these into consideration.
However, Xing Gaoxi repeatedly instructed his men that except for cleaning up the yard of the demon-suppressing office, they could not enter anywhere else, especially the case library, otherwise, ten Xing Gaoxis could not protect them.
Xing Gaoxi was the only one left in the huge patrol office.
He deliberately emptied the patrol office to wait for someone!
Suddenly, a figure shot out from the air, and a young man in a green shirt appeared in the yard.
Xing Gaoxi looked at the young man with some surprise.
He was not surprised that someone came to visit him, because he was waiting for this person.
But he was a little surprised at the boy's age, too young, not even 20 years old.
It was hard to imagine that the tragic scene in the yard of the Demon Suppression Division was left by such a boy?
The boy was naturally Ji Chen. As he walked towards Xing Gaoxi, he said, "The Demon Suppression Division, the Black Flag Suppression Ji Chen, greets the Chief Constable."
In a few steps, he walked to the opposite side of Xing Gaoxi and sat down on an empty chair.
"You don't need me to take out the Demon Suppression Card to prove my identity!"
Xing Gaoxi said, "No, there is no one else who dares to break into the Patrol Police Division so blatantly except the Demon Suppression Division!"
Xing Gaoxi said this with sarcasm. After all, Ji Chen's temperament was the best proof that the people of the Demon Suppression Division were like this, and he was used to it.
As long as the Demon Suppression Division did not make a big mistake in breaking into the Patrol Police Division, such as entering important places such as the case library without permission, it would not be a big problem. It could be covered up by saying that it suspected the invasion of evil spirits.
If the Patrol Police Division broke into the Demon Suppression Division, it would be a big problem if they really wanted to investigate seriously.
Ji Chen looked at the empty Patrol Office and asked curiously, "You are not surprised by my appearance. Are you waiting for me?"
Xing Gaoxi smiled faintly, "Something happened to the Demon Suppression Office, one of the three major offices in Qinghe County. If someone wants to investigate this matter, they must go to the other two offices. You went to the county office first, so naturally, the Patrol Office will not be spared."
Ji Chen said, "In this case, I won't beat around the bush. How much do you know about the Demon Suppression Office?"
Xing Gaoxi said, "Not much. I only know that Zhao Qiguan was originally from the Zhao Mansion. Later, a nobleman came to the Zhao Mansion, and then something happened to the Demon Suppression Office. That nobleman is not something you and I can afford to offend. I once sent someone to Liangzhou City to report the news, but it was like a drop in the ocean. That's all I know."
Ji Chen glanced at Xing Gaoxi, "So, you choose to play badly!"
Faced with Ji Chen's questioning, Xing Gaoxi did not explain, but just faintly Said:
"When the world is turbid, being awake is a sin. The world is turbid like a torrent. It is a great hardship to stand firm. In this era where it is difficult to achieve one's ambitions and everything is difficult to accomplish, it is a great effort to keep a glimmer of light in my heart. After all, I am not alone. I have a group of brothers behind me, and my brothers have families. The patrol department is not the demon suppression department. We face demons and cut through thorns. We are only responsible for public security.
Ji Chen looked at Xing Gaoxi again. He heard resentment from his words. It was nothing more than that he had great ambitions, but he was not appreciated. Now he chose to play badly, which was just the result of the times. He did not turn evil, which was worthy of this profession and the court. Don't be too strict with him.
These words made Ji Chen laugh directly.
"Then why are you still occupying the position of chief detective? There are too many people who are not appreciated. They eat the salary of the emperor but do not share the worries of the emperor. "
"The reason why most people in the world are unsuccessful is because they think too highly of themselves. The Buddha once gave people two bags, one for holding their own mistakes and the other for holding the mistakes of others. Some people always like to put the bag containing their own mistakes behind them and the bag containing the mistakes of others in front, so they can only see the mistakes of others but not their own. "
Faced with Ji Chen's rebuke, Xing Gaoxi did not continue to refute.
He did not intend to continue to dwell on this issue, only because Ji Chen said he was giving up, he expressed some resentment and dissatisfaction.
After all, there is a big gap between the two in age, one is already forty, and the other is not yet twenty. This is a collision of new ideas and old ideas, and a confrontation between young people and the older generation. From ancient times to the present, this is a contradiction.
Young people are frivolous, and old people are prudent. This is nature, always in opposition, but also complementary.
This is why young people always shed their blood in wars, and old guys are always making plans behind the scenes.
If young people are prudent, the world will lose its vitality.
He envied Ji Chen's vitality, but he didn't like his passion and frivolity.
Xing Gaoxi has long passed the age of competitiveness, so he didn't dwell on this topic.
"One evening morning, a young old man, holding a sharp blunt knife, killed his closest enemy. "
Ji Chen said something very contradictory, and then stood up to leave.
In his opinion, Xing Gaoxi was old, and his position should be given up to the younger generation.
Since Xing Gaoxi had nothing to gain here, there was no point in talking further, and the little strength of the patrol department would not help him much.
Xing Gaoxi was silent. Perhaps only he could understand Ji Chen's very contradictory words. Just as Ji Chen was about to leave, he suddenly spoke up and made a suggestion.
"This matter is very complicated. If you insist on investigating it, it may involve many people and get out of control. Have you ever thought about it? Qinghe County is only a hundred miles away from Liangzhou City. Such a big thing happened, but why did Liangzhou City not react at all?"
Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, and Xing Gaoxi's words reminded him.
Liangzhou City is only a hundred miles away from Qinghe County. Such a big thing happened, but Liangzhou Town Demon Division did not have any news.
And there are so many masters in Liangzhou Town Demon Division, why did they send me here.
Ji Chen's thoughts jumped quickly, and he suddenly realized and soon thought of one of the possibilities.
There is something wrong with Liangzhou Town Demon Division, and Xie Anbing doesn't trust anyone.
I am the only newcomer, and I am a black flag. I don't have a strong sense of existence. Even if I leave the Demon Division for a long time, no one will pay special attention to it.
Xie Anbing intercepted the task of Black Wind Village and secretly gave it to me. He asked me to investigate Black Wind Village, but his real purpose was Qinghe County.
There is something wrong with the Liangzhou Town Monster Division, or rather, someone in the Liangzhou Town Monster Division knows about the Qinghe County situation. This person's position is not low, at least a general flag, and only then can he intercept and block all news.
