Chapter 229 [228] Public Memorial Day
early morning.

The new chief inspector of the third outpost, Xing Peng, was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, wearing the uniform of the chief inspector very seriously.

at this time.

Light footsteps came from behind.

A beautiful face then appeared in the mirror.

It was his fiancée - Fan Xiaoqian.

The couple looked at each other through the mirror and smiled knowingly at the same time.

Xing Peng sighed suddenly: "I always feel like I'm dreaming."

More than half a month ago, he was just an unknown person, but he was taken to a banquet, passed the assessment of the director, and was lucky to become an inspector.

Now he has made great contributions and has become the fastest-promoted chief inspector in the history of the city's inspection department. He is about to marry a gentle and beautiful wife.

For all of this, Xing Peng just wants to say something piously: Thank you, Director.

Fan Xiaoqian laughed at Yan Yan: "Yeah, it's like a dream."

Being able to marry the youngest inspector general in the city, and a male classmate whom she had a crush on many years ago, this rich lady is also extremely happy.

Fan Xiaoqian pursed her lips again and broke out a piece of news: "My dad said that on the day we officially get married, he will give an extra dowry of two hundred gold coins."

Xing Peng just smiled and didn't say much.

Originally, the old man Fan Ancheng promised a dowry of [-] gold coins, but now it has risen to [-] gold coins. He knows very well that this is all the benefits brought by the position of "Chief Inspector".

By the way.

His wealthy businessman's father-in-law originally arranged for the two to get married two days ago, but unfortunately due to the outbreak of the Ability Word incident, the wedding was forced to be postponed for ten days.

Fan Ancheng was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he impatiently gave away a wedding house first, and asked the two to move in in advance to get acquainted with each other.

Although it was a little bit offensive to do so, Xing Peng accepted it half-heartedly.

After all, what man would not want to enjoy the life of a beautiful wife and a beautiful family in advance?
at this time.

Fan Xiaoqian glanced at the back of her fiancé's head, and suddenly said "Huh", "Why do you have so many white hairs here?"

She took a step closer and reached out to fiddle with his hair: "Let me help you pull it out."

Xing Peng let out a "hmm".

Fan Xiaoqian pinched the white hair with two fingers, and muttered, "There are so many white hairs at such a young age, the work of the Inspection Office is too hard."

Xing Peng's tone was full of emotion: "Some things have to be done by people."

"Snapped!"

A slight sound.

Fan Xiaoqian pulled out a piece of white hair, and said in her mouth, "Why are you talking more and more old-fashioned?"

Xing Peng shook his head and smiled, "If you have experienced so many human tragedies like me, you will feel the same way."

Fan Xiaoqian didn't speak, but concentrated on looking for the white hair.

Xing Peng changed the subject in a timely manner: "Yesterday, the Director General held an important meeting in Winter Garden, and decided to hold a 'public sacrifice' for the victims of the Ability God's Word incident."

Fan Xiaoqian asked: "Do you pay homage to the inspector who died?"

Xing Peng shook his head again: "No, pay homage to all the victims in this city."

The "all" in it deliberately emphasizes the tone.

Fan Xiaoqian was surprised: "Including the dead civilians?"

Xing Peng nodded: "Of course."

Fan Xiaoqian stopped, and asked a little confused: "So many civilians are involved, should the Council come forward?"

Xing Peng asked back: "Over the years, has the Council held a public sacrifice for the common people?"

Fan Xiaoqian thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't think it ever happened in my memory."

Xing Peng's tone was tinged with pride: "Master Director said that what the Council does not do, our Inspection Office will do. The more adversity we face, the more we cannot give up."

He paused, and then said: "Master Director said that Anhua City needs to gather unyielding strength in sorrow, and this is the meaning of the public sacrifice."

Fan Xiaoqian appreciated this sentence, and couldn't help saying: "Your Master Director, you will definitely become a great person in the future."

Xing Peng and You Rongyan: "I never doubt."

In today's Inspectorate, the newly promoted Inspector-General has been regarded as the backbone of the Director-General's faction, and is also the brightest rising star.

Interestingly, even though Xing Peng has never spoken to the director, but only had a few face-to-face meetings, he himself thinks so.

Fan Xiaoqian suddenly came to her senses: "You suddenly mentioned the matter of the public sacrifice. Could it be that your work today is related to the public sacrifice?"

Xing Peng let out a long sigh: "I was transferred to the public sacrifice organization team, and my job is to invite the families of the victims to participate in the public sacrifice."

Fan Xiaoqian understood what this meant, and said "Oh", "This is a very heavy task."

Xing Peng stretched out his hand to straighten his hat, and repeated his previous words: "Some things have to be done by people. The director has set the best example for us."

Fan Xiaoqian looked at her fiancé distressedly, and stretched out her arms to hug him.

Feeling the warmth and delicate body, Xing Peng murmured: "At first I thought it was an honor to wear the inspector uniform, but now I start to feel it is a responsibility."

Fan Xiaoqian felt that her fiancé was amazing, so she hugged her even tighter.

After a while.

Fan Xiaoqian suddenly heard a heavy snort.

If she felt it, she reached out and grabbed it unconsciously, and couldn't help but smile shyly: "Just now you were just and strict, but now you have become a beast again, you..."

Not finished.

Fan Xiaoqian exclaimed.

Because she was hugged by a pair of strong arms, there was a teasing laugh in her ears: "Xiaoqian, you hug her too tightly!"

After half an hour.

Xing Peng experienced a not-so-intense "morning exercise", put on his uniform again and left the house.

He rode on the feather beast presented by his father-in-law, first arrived at the outpost, and then joined another inspector named "Ma Shouyi" to officially start today's work.

The two walked into a nearby community with a spirit mastiff. According to the list of victims compiled by the outpost, they found a family.

The two inspectors stood in front of the door with solemn faces.

Ma Shouyi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Inspector, let me knock on the door."

Xing Peng nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ma Shouyi straightened his hat, stepped forward a few steps, and knocked on the wooden door gently.

"Boom! Boom!"

Ma Shouyi used his voice transmission skills to send his voice through the door: "Is Ms. Liu at home? We are the inspectors of the third outpost."

After a few seconds.

There were scattered footsteps inside the door.

"Squeak!"

The door was pulled open.

A middle-aged lady with a haggard face and red and swollen eyes came into the eyes of the two of them.

Xing Peng took off his hat first, and nodded politely: "Ms. Liu, excuse me."

The middle-aged lady asked cautiously: "Is there something wrong with you two?"

Xing Peng said solemnly: "Ma'am, the Inspection Office deeply apologizes for what happened to your husband."

When the middle-aged lady heard the word "Zunfu", she burst into tears immediately.

On the night of the Ability God's Word incident, her husband was on duty at the company. Unfortunately, he encountered a basilisk and was brutally dismembered.

Xing Peng was a little afraid to look directly into the other's eyes: "The Inspection Office is scheduled to hold a public memorial ceremony in Dongshan Park at [-]:[-] am two days later to commemorate the honorable husband and other victims."

The middle-aged lady shed tears.

Xing Peng thought of his colleague who turned into a basilisk, and felt that every word was extremely heavy: "Although nothing can make up for your loss, the Council will provide a pension to help your family through this difficult period. time."

Both inspectors knew that although the council had promised to provide pensions to civilians killed, it had been extremely slow to raise funds.

The director is very dissatisfied with this, and this move is to force the council to issue the pension as soon as possible.

If the money is still not in place before the public memorial day, then don't blame the inspectorate for slapping the grand consul in the face in front of the whole city.

Xing Peng lowered his eyelids: "Ma'am, we sincerely invite you to attend."

Ma Shouyi hurriedly handed over an exquisite invitation letter.

Usually, inspectors mostly look down on civilians.

But at this moment, the two of them were humbled.

The voice of the middle-aged lady was choked with sobs: "Thank you both, I will be there on time."

Xing Peng breathed a sigh of relief: "Ma'am, please forgive me."

He put on his hat and greeted again: "Please allow us to say goodbye first."

The middle-aged lady was choked up and speechless.

Xing Peng sighed secretly, turned around and left quickly.

After walking a few steps, he heard loud crying behind him.

"Woo~"

Xing Peng's footsteps froze for a moment, and he felt that this job was the most difficult task in his life.

Ma Shouyi muttered in a low voice, "I'd rather fight the basilisk to my death."
