As invitation letters were sent out one after another, Xing Peng felt increasingly that this job was too difficult.
"Boom! Boom!"
Another knock on the door.
The door opened quickly.
A little girl's head poked out.
Judging from her face and height, she should be around six or seven years old.
She saw two inspectors standing outside the door, and her big eyes immediately lit up: "Mr. Inspector, good morning!"
Xing Peng forced out a smile and quickly took out a candy and handed it over: "Beautiful lady, good morning!"
The little girl glanced at the candy and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
She did not accept the candy, but asked hopefully: "Sir, my parents have traveled far away. Can you tell me where they went?"
Xing Peng opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
This little guy's parents were the victims of the Word of God incident.
But the problem is, telling such a young child this extremely cruel fact, he really can't open his mouth.
The little girl pleaded pitifully: "I haven't seen my parents for two days. Grandma said they work in a far away place. I miss my parents so much."
Xing Peng's throat was a little clogged and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
After searching for a while, he could only come up with a crude comforting word: "Your parents should be back soon."
The little girl immediately believed his words, became happy all of a sudden, and asked again: "Sir, how many days will it be soon? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Xing Peng deeply felt that this was the most difficult question he had ever encountered in his life.
Ma Shouyi glanced at his colleagues. He felt deep sympathy for the little girl and was secretly glad that she was not asking about him.
The dog squatted beside him, his eyes full of pity as he looked over.
Fortunately.
The rescuers are coming soon.
"Bang! Bang!"
The tapping sound of the cane came from far to near.
An old female voice floated over, with a trace of imperceptible sadness in it: "Xiaoyan, Mr. Inspector is too busy with his work. I'm afraid they can't answer your questions."
Along with these words, a white-haired old woman appeared at the door with a cane.
The little girl looked back and called "Grandma" with disappointment written all over her face.
Xing Peng took a long breath and greeted the old woman: "Madam, good morning."
The old woman replied "Good morning" and then immediately pushed her granddaughter away: "Xiaoyan, go and pour a cup of tea for the two inspectors."
The little girl responded and trotted away.
Xing Peng then handed over an invitation letter, first quickly explained the matter of the public sacrifice, and finally said, "Please express my condolences."
The old woman's tone sounded very calm: "Thank you! I will be there on time!"
But her hand that took the invitation trembled uncontrollably, which showed that the old woman was suffering from unimaginable pain.
Xing Peng stared at this thin hand, and the feeling in his heart was simply difficult to describe in words.
He suddenly recalled the gossip circulating in the outpost.
It is said that after seeing the list of more than 560 civilian casualties, the director walked alone in the winter garden several times before ordering an emergency meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Cheng said something strange and self-deprecating in front of all the participants, "I feel that I am incompetent."
Although Xing Peng insisted that the director was definitely the most accomplished director in the history of this city, he completely understood the director's mood when he spoke.
Witnessing so many sad people and the tragedies of families being destroyed, he felt strong anger and powerlessness.
Xing Peng sighed, took out a dozen silver coins from his pocket, quickly stuffed them into the old woman's pocket, and then left as if running away.
Because he was afraid of facing the little girl's eyes.
Especially the look of expectation contained in it was like a knife stabbing him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
five minutes later.
In front of another house.
Xing Peng and Ma Shouyi looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Both of them had serious expressions on their faces, and neither of them dared to knock on the door.
This morning, they heard too many cries and the psychological pressure was too great.
"Woof!"
The spiritual mastiff suddenly barked and took the initiative to step forward and pat the door a few times with its paws.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two inspectors took a deep breath in unison, their hearts rising again.
It's so hard today!
This is the common thought in the two people's minds.

Government building.
At the entrance to the most luxurious and spacious office on the top floor.
The Grand Consul's female secretary, Ding Shulin, also took a deep breath and knocked on the door of high-end wood production.
"Boom! Boom!"
This mature lady with a charming face held a thin document in both hands, with an uneasy look on her face.
After a while.
"Come in!"
Grand Consul Bai Yichuan's voice was filled with annoyance.
Ding Shulin carefully opened the door, stepped into the extremely luxurious office, and walked straight to the desk with an area of no less than six square meters.
She bent down and placed the document in front of the Grand Consul, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, this is today's information briefing."
The female secretary wore a uniform with a low neckline, which was the Grand Consul's favorite dress, and her movements made certain moving scenes appear.
Bai Yichuan raised his old face and glanced in front of the female secretary out of habit before focusing on Ding Shulin's face: "Is there any news from the Inspection Office?"
In recent times, due to some unexplainable reasons, the Grand Consul has been particularly concerned about news about the Inspection Office and has inquired about it several times a day.
Ding Shulin was very reluctant to answer, but she had to answer: "The Inspection Office plans to hold a large-scale public memorial ceremony in two days..."
She told the whole story in detail.
The female secretary finally talked about the "invitation letter" and mentioned it bravely: "The people from the Inspection Office claimed that the Council will issue pensions to civilians at the public sacrifice ceremony."
It was exactly as she expected.
Bai Yichuan suddenly became furious: "Cao Nima, you are really bullying!"
"boom!"
The Grand Consul slammed the table.
Ding Shulin was frightened.
Bai Yichuan roared angrily: "You bastard named Cheng, I have never offended you, and I have always tolerated your arrogance, but you keep bullying me!"
Ding Shulin lowered her head, not daring to look at her boss, and couldn't help but curse: She was bullied, but she only dared to close the door and yell, and she didn't dare to fight with Director Cheng. I'm really unlucky to have such a boss!
"Snapped!"
The documents were swept to the ground by Bai Yichuan and scattered all over the floor.
It was definitely an act of catharsis.
Ding Shulin caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and secretly cursed "old waste" in her heart.
Although he has a higher rank than Director Cheng, he is bullied to the point of being bullied by the other party and does not even dare to fight back. What is this if he is not a piece of trash?
Bai Yichuan took a few deep breaths, turned his head and glanced at the female secretary's face, and suddenly there was an evil fire in his heart.
He cursed fiercely: "You stinky bastard, kneel down here before your employer."
Ding Shulin had expected this, so she quickly forced out a charming smile and obeyed the order obediently.
This is exactly the habit of the old dog.
Whenever he was unhappy, he would vent his anger on his subordinates. Since Director Cheng took office, this kind of thing has become extremely frequent.
Ding Shulin's movement slowed down a little, and she felt a hand grabbing her long hair and pulling hard: "Hurry up!"
The female secretary was in severe pain but did not dare to cry out, so she had to crawl over using her hands and feet.
*
ten minutes later.
"boom!"
Ding Shulin quickly closed the bathroom door, turned the faucet to the maximum, and couldn't help but retched.
"Ugh~"
The female secretary vomited for a while and then rinsed her mouth for a full minute.
She covered her sore throat and cursed in a very low voice: "You only know how to bully me. Director Cheng just said a word, but you have to obey it honestly. Go to hell with this old dog."
Just now, Bai Yichuan issued an order, requiring the Finance Department to raise all civilian pensions within one day.
This kind of lustful and lustful attitude really made the female secretary despise her to the extreme.
Ding Shulin rubbed her sore mouth a few times and couldn't help but lamented: "Why didn't Xuange give an order earlier to drive away this old dog?"
