The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked.
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.
When a blind man regains sight, the first thing he does is throw away the crutch that has been with him for many years.
The same goes for the Night Patrol Division.
As long as 'Red Rain' completely disappears from this world one day and poses no threat, then there will be no need for the Night Patrol Division to exist.
The Night Patrol Department is no longer here, so what will happen to the staff?
What about those who finally get into high positions?
It is impossible to integrate into other departments.
After all, the power and status of each department is already saturated, and it is impossible for a foreigner like you to steal the position. In particular, there are many people vying for position.
Therefore, the Night Watch Division must exist.
This concerns the interests of every member of the Night Patrol Department.
If anyone is looking forward to another 'red rain' now, it is only the Night Patrol Division. Although it sounds ironic, it is reality.
Seeing that Li Nanke stopped talking, Li Donghai sighed:
"The Night Patrol Department is already rotten, and it will get worse in the future. Unless one day, the red rain comes again. But what's the point?
The Emperor wanted to stamp out this cancer, the Empress wanted to clean up this mess, and the officials wanted to watch the Night Patrol Department collapse... But without exception, they all failed.
Li Nanke, Li Nanke, you are so smart, how do you think we can solve this game? "
Li Nanke shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I don't know, and with my current status, these things are not something I should consider."
"You don't think about it because you don't care."
Li Donghai's bright eyes seemed to be able to see through the other person's heart, and he said slowly and logically, "If there is anyone in the Yuncheng Night Patrol Department who cares about fame and fortune the least, apart from Leng Xinnan, it is you."
"It's a pity, we should be friends."
Li Nanke felt regret for the first time in his heart.
The more you get to know the person in front of you, the more you realize how terrifying he is. He is not the kind of incompetent person who smiles and sucks up to his leader all day long.
"We can't be friends. I care about fame and fortune."
Li Donghai shook his head gently.
Speaking of this, his expression became much gloomier.
After all, the fame and fortune have left him, and now the only thing that accompanies him is the pile of hay in the cell.
"Actually, I also care about fame and fortune, but I'm more interested in women." Li Nanke sat back on the stool, his tone was like an old friend chatting about home affairs.
Li Donghai smiled and said: "I understand, man."
Li Nanke said: "The pursuit is different. Of course, the premise is that my wife is rich, I don't need to worry about that."
"So, it is very important to have a good wife."
"No, you have to look handsome first."
"..." Li Donghai was stunned, looked at the serious expression of the man opposite, and laughed.
The sky outside the cell window was misty.
As Li Nanke expected, it really started to rain in the sky after dark clouds covered the sun.
The drizzle fell silently like spider silk.
Li Nanke stretched out his hand.
Occasionally, fine pieces of raindrops were blown into the narrow window bars by the wind, which felt cool and comfortable on the palms of my hands.
"You really don't want to get out of prison?"
Li Nanke asked again.
Li Donghai lowered his eyes and seemed to have restrained himself. He took out a piece of hay from under his body and put it in his mouth. His tone returned to his previous laziness, "I told you, but you really can't get out."
"Let me guess, you deliberately set up your wife to make her a scapegoat, right?"
Li Nanke gave his own guess.
Li Donghai was noncommittal, "I just told you so much, just to tell you, don't waste your time interrogating me.
Over the years, I've learned a lot that I shouldn't have known, so I can't get caught.
The longer I stayed in the cell, the more anxious some people became. So my case must be closed as soon as possible, but the problem is that someone must take the blame for those Hongyu.
I treat my wife well. I can tolerate her being greedy, but I will never tolerate her cheating on me and sleeping with other men. "
At this point, Li Donghai's unspoken words were very clear.
He will be released soon.
At the same time, let his wife resist all crimes.
In this case, what Li Donghai had to do was to remain silent and wait with peace of mind.
Li Nanke asked calmly: "Then can I think that there are senior officials from the Capital Night Patrol Department in the mysterious organization 'Underworld'?"
Li Donghai closed his eyes and stopped answering.
But the answer is obvious.
As the other party said before, the person who least wants 'Red Rain' to disappear is the Night Watch Division.
There is a reason why the underworld has not been wiped out for so many years.
"Actually, there is one person I don't understand." Li Donghai suddenly said, "That's Leng Siyuan. In his position, he understands some truths deeper than I do.
But sometimes he had to be more serious. He knew what the problem was, but still refused to give up.
Among the night patrol departments in various places, he is the only one who is so serious about tracking down the 'underworld'. This is why some people in the capital don't like him.
But sometimes, if you say he is serious, he will do some selfish things.
I really can't understand him. "
Li Nanke was silent for a while and said softly: "Maybe he is also very conflicted."
Li Nanke didn't know his uncle very well.
But it does not prevent him from thinking that the other party is a very responsible brother and official.
Standing high enough to see clearly, there is a fierce conflict between reality and inner ideals, which always makes people feel overwhelmed.
As Niu Daru said, everyone has difficulties.
The pressure Leng Siyuan endured was unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Whoever joins the Night Patrol Department has no conflicts in his heart." Li Donghai said in a deep voice, "When I first entered the Night Patrol Department, I was full of enthusiasm. But slowly, you will find that the more energetic people are, the less likely they are to work. Will be liked by those above.
You said you killed all the monsters, solved the nightmare, and confiscated all the red rain. Then you just dug a grave for yourself and everyone else.
For example, Lao Yu, when Leng Xinnan didn't come, he was a famous workaholic in our night patrol department.
I can’t remember how many Hongyu I confiscated and monsters I killed.
There are not a few people who have been saved by him. I still remember one time this guy fought with a monster and his intestines were ripped out by the monster. He was stunned and saved a dozen villagers with his life.
Logically speaking, even if he can't become the general manager with such merits, he is still more than enough as deputy general manager.
But now, he is not a small supervisor of the Xuanwu Department.
He can't go to the capital. Those people hate him. It was difficult to get promoted, and no one had a good word to say for him.
There is a reason why he hates me and Leng Xinnan. "
Li Donghai took a long breath, looked at the rain outside the narrow window and said, "Li Nanke, actually you shouldn't come to the Night Patrol Department. Your ability allows you to do many things, and this place will shackle you."
Perhaps this is the first time that Li Donghai has truly felt sorry for Li Nanke as a friend.
Li Nanke raised his head and shrugged slightly, "A person with my personality will be the same wherever I go."
"It's still a pity."
Li Donghai sighed, "I hope that one day you can be the one who changes the Night Patrol Division."
…………
When I came out of the cell, the rain was already getting heavier.
Ten feet away, there was darkness, and the sounds of rain filled the ears.
Li Nanke stood under the eaves, staring blankly at the rainwater flowing on the ground. Thinking back to Li Donghai's words, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness.
Change?
How to change a department that is rotten to the core?
Li Nanke secretly laughed at himself.
Unless the Queen becomes my wife, but is that possible?
Or let the eldest princess become the queen. With the friendship between the two of them, they may be able to reform.
But these are just fantasy after all.
Looking at the water bubbles splashing up one after another on the ground, constantly alternating between disillusionment and rebirth, it seems that the moving figure of the eldest princess is faintly emerging.
Li Nanke murmured: "Tell Yue'er that I want to eat abalone."
