The First Mist Chapter 72 Team 2
"This case is only closed temporarily. There are still many doubts in this case, so we will continue to follow up."
The middle-aged judge guard said, "The case is closed temporarily so that the deceased can be buried and rest in peace. If there is any new progress in the case, it will be emailed to you."
"Everyone please go back."
"How can we rest in peace if the murderer hasn't been found?"
Someone said excitedly.
"Yeah yeah……"
The middle-aged trial guard had a blank expression on his face as he silently listened to their accusations and scoldings. He had anticipated this scene when he was characterizing the case, and he was used to such things.
Not all roads have an end, and not all cases have a result.
"Because they have no children, their inheritance belongs to..." The middle-aged trial guard continued to announce the result, and the crying and noise in the room suddenly quieted down.
It was as if all the sounds were suddenly muted, disappearing extremely abruptly, leaving people with a momentary sense of emptiness.
…
…
In the tomb of Xushi.
Densely packed tombstones stretch to the far end of the hillside, and the fragrance of memorial flowers wafts in the air.
Xu Shen looked at the tombstone in front of him. The photo on it was Zhou Ye’s ID photo. With a smile in the corner of his eyes, he looked upright and free and easy.
Xu Shen was a little dazed. He vaguely remembered the time when He Ming died. Zhou Ye told him to visit his deceased teammates more often in the future.
Because most of their relatives have died and they are all alone.
Who would have thought that the person who said this before would be buried here in the blink of an eye.
In a short period of time, Xu Shen experienced several separations and deaths. He felt the fragility of life, just like the feeling he had when he wiped out that family, as fragile as a flower.
In front of the powerful Xu, they are so fragile.
"Is this the final destination for everyone..." Xu Shen whispered softly, looking at the countless tombstones in front of him. In the end, will all their struggles and efforts throughout their lives be buried here?
Mo Xiaoxiao heard Xu Shen's murmurs and looked up and said, "That's about right. No matter if you are rich, powerful, beautiful or ugly, you will all rot like this... So as a human being, don't be too cautious. Do whatever you want and live the way you want. It's nothing more than death anyway."
These words struck Xu Shen's heart directly, and he felt a shock in his heart.
He has always lived too cautiously.
The hunt that night was an impulsive and bold action on his part.
He always maintains the humility of a fog dweller.
But now that he has opened his eyes, he realizes that peace in this world cannot be found by being humble.
No matter how humble you are, you must go to the ruins and carry out your mission.
No matter how humble you are, you will still be insulted and looked down upon.
There is often a fine line between humility and cowardice.
The difference between these two lines is strength.
The courtesy of the strong is humility, while the courtesy of the weak is just cowardice!
"Wow...Dad, why doesn't Dad pay attention to me?" At this time, a childish crying voice was heard from the side.
Su Shuang held Zhou Ye's daughter in his arms, his face gloomy. The little girl broke free from his hands and slapped the tombstone, "Dad, Dad..."
Mo Xiaoxiao sighed and picked up the little girl: "Your father is not here, you have to be good. Your father doesn't like to see you crying."
The little girl opened her big watery eyes and asked: "Where is my dad?"
“On your way up.”
…
…
After sending Zhou Ye's daughter back, Xu Shen and others originally planned to go to the Black Light Religion to consult about Zhou Ye. They heard that Zhou Ye had already prepared a way out for his daughter in the Black Light Religion.
When he dies, religion will help raise him.
But before leaving, Su Shuang stopped them.
"Are you planning to adopt her?" Xu Shen looked at Su Shuang in surprise, a little shocked.
"That's right. If she is fostered in the Black Light Religion, she will most likely be trained to be a ruin slayer. I don't want her to go down this path..." Su Shuang said.
Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao were both stunned.
It is not easy to raise a little girl, especially for an unmarried woman like Su Shuang. If she has a child around her, it will inevitably attract criticism.
"If that's the case, let's go together." Xu Shen suddenly said.
"Then count me in too." Mo Xiaoxiao said.
Su Shuang was stunned, "You guys..."
"It's nothing. It's too hard for you to raise the child alone. It will be much easier if the three of us come together." Mo Xiaoxiao said.
Xu Shen nodded . He knew that it was not easy for Su Shuang to make money, but she was still willing to take care of the child's upbringing under such circumstances. He also had some respect for the woman in front of him.
"If Captain Zhou knew about this, he would probably feel relieved." Su Shuang showed a faint smile on her face, like the sunshine after the rain.
Xu Shen looked a little dazed and couldn't help laughing.
A few days later.
Xu Shen received a mobilization order from above.
Not only Xu Shen, but Mo Xiaoxiao and Su Shuang also received the notice.
Due to Zhou Ye's casualties, Team 17 is currently leaderless. Mo Xiaoxiao is appointed as the captain of Team 17 and Su Shuang as the deputy captain.
Two new members are coming soon.
Xu Shen will be transferred from Team 17 today and report to Team 2 three days later to become a formal member of Team 2.
"Tsk, you won't let me go to the first echelon." Mo Xiaoxiao was obviously disdainful of the captain. She glanced at Xu Shen. Mainly because without such an interesting guy like Xu Shen, she felt it was boring to stay in this team.
Su Shuang was a little surprised at her promotion, but it was also expected. Hearing Mo Xiaoxiao's words, she smiled bitterly. She was actually eager to go to the third echelon, and then slowly save money on the other side until she had enough for retirement.
Her greatest wish is to live a stable life.
After all, that was her father's last wish before he died...
"You were transferred to Team 2. It seems that the bureau takes good care of you." Su Shuang congratulated Xu Shen.
Xu Shen looked at her doubtfully.
Su Shuang smiled and said, "You may not know this yet. Although the top five teams are all first-tier teams, they are also different in strength. Team 1 is the strongest and specializes in handling C-level incidents. Even large-scale D-level incidents are not enough for them to take action. They are the ace team in our bureau!"
"Team 2 is second only to Team 1, but it has a nickname: Team Longevity!"
"I heard that Team 2's casualty rate is the lowest among the first echelon. The last time someone was killed was three years ago."
Xu Shen's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course." Su Shuang smiled and said, "The last time the director came here, he must have been very optimistic about you, so he arranged you to the longevity team, so that you can get training, improve your resume and qualifications, and live a stable life."
Xu Shen nodded slightly. The bureau did take good care of him.
"After I leave, you must take good care of yourselves." Xu Shen said to the two girls, feeling somewhat reluctant.
"You are. After all, Team 2 is the first echelon, and the pressure of working there is very high." Su Shuang said with a smile.
Three days later.
Xu Shen received a letter by mail, asking him to report to Team 2.
Xu Shen saw the map on the back of the letter, then looked at his room and sighed. In the blink of an eye, he would be leaving here.
He sighed, packed all his clothes and luggage, and took another look at the room before leaving. Although he would only stay here for a short time, he felt a sense of security in his little home.
Downstairs, Su Shuang and Mo Xiaoxiao knew that Xu Shen was changing teams today, so they came to see him off.
