Chapter 38: Good Citizen Certificate!
Good citizen certificate!! Collect!!
Inside the hall, those who can come in here to talk are all people with identities. Wu Mouren happened to have caught a whiff of that smoke today and was called in by Sister Yan.
Sitting opposite Yan Jie on two soft chairs, Wu Zhengxiao smiled and said, "Yan Jie, Master has observed your facial features, you've had a lot of troubles lately."
With a faint smile, Yan Jie looked at Wu Zhengye and said, "Wu Zhengye, it's been a few days since we last met, and your mouth seems to be getting more and more eloquent. By the way, Wang Hao said someone came to report a case, was that you?"
Wu Zheng nodded, "Mm, it's me. I found a corpse, just now."
"Corpse?" Wu Zheng's words were interrupted by Yan Jie, "Take a closer look! Is the deceased male or female? What is their approximate age? Are there any distinctive features on the body? Can we identify their specific identity? Can we initially confirm the cause of death?"
"This" Wu Zhengxie let out a bitter laugh, "I was saying, Elder Sister Yan, I hadn't finished speaking yet."
Yan Jie was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to Wu Zhengyi to continue.
"It's like this," Wu Zheng continued after some thought, "At that time it was cold and dark at night, I was also just vaguely feeling that there seemed to be a person lying in the snow, hmm, on his body I didn't feel any vital energy, if it were a person, then he must have been dead."
"At the time, I was in a hurry to report the case, so I rushed here. As for whether that person was male or female, I really didn't notice."
"Are you scared?" Yan Jie pointed out bluntly, then looked at Wu Zheng Xie with a half-smile, "You're the one who claims to be a 'master', never afraid of ghosts and monsters, why are you suddenly afraid of a corpse? And this corpse isn't even confirmed to be dead or alive yet?"
"I" was indeed a thick-skinned Wu person, but being said by Yan sister like this also made me blush all over my face.
Seeing Wu Zhengye's embarrassed expression, Yan Jie didn't continue the topic either. "Alright, in a few minutes my colleagues will arrive, let's go to your place first then. Sigh, this period of time is always someone mysteriously disappearing, our city's two police stations are busy to the point of being overwhelmed."
Shaking her head, Yan Jie looked at Wu Zhengye and smiled lightly, "Looking at you, I think you've found a new job now? How is it? Is the work going well?"
Seeing Wu Zhengye's current state, Yan Jing's heart was filled with joy, though she couldn't quite put her finger on the reason why. Perhaps it was because Wu Zhengye's experiences were not much different from her own.
Upon hearing Yan Jing's inquiry, Wu Zhengyi's eyes rolled, and he immediately replied, "Yes, I know you despise those deceitful tricks, so how could this master dare to deceive people?"
He paused for a moment, Wu Zhengxie lightly coughed twice to clear his throat, "It's like this, I, the great master, have now obtained the 16th generation of Yang Gong's Feng Shui transmission, and am no longer that Jianghu practitioner who only knew how to deceive people."
"Ah, previously, this master had just solved a Feng Shui problem for a family and saved their paralyzed mother. The young couple wanted to thank this master, so apart from sending money, they also specially bought this new set of clothes for this master."
Wu Zhengxie didn't notice that as he spoke more and more, Yan Jing's face became increasingly unsightly. By the time Wu Zhengxie finished speaking, Yan Jing's face had completely turned icy cold.
"Hum! No remorse!" Yan Jing stood up in anger, pointing at Wu Zhengxie and shouting, "Wu Zhengxie, can't you do something right for once besides cheating people? You're really hopeless! Beyond salvation!"
Wu Zheng was stunned, he didn't understand why Yan Jing suddenly got angry?
Deceiving people? In the past, it might have been deceiving words, but now saying that it's 'helping the world and saving people' is not an exaggeration.
At this point, Wu Zhengyi suddenly explained, "I'm telling you, Yan sister, you really misunderstood me."
When Wu Zhengye said this, Yan Jing's face didn't show any expression, still cold as ice, but Wu Zhengye knew that Yan Jing was waiting for his explanation.
For a moment, Wu Zhengye repeated again, "Yan Jie, this master has indeed obtained the true transmission of Yang Gong's Feng Shui, and is now the 16th generation single inheritor of Yang Gong's Feng Shui."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Jing let out a cold snort and turned around to walk away.
Inside the hall, Wu Mouren's mouth was agape as he stared blankly at that slightly thinner but still curvaceous back view rushing out of the door.
"What did I say wrong?" Wu Zhengxie smiled wryly, "It's just that you don't believe in Ben Da Shi yourself. The current Ben Da Shi is not the same as before. If Ben Da Shi didn't see it wrongly, your police station will also come to Ben Da Shi for help."
As Wu Dashi was thinking about how much reward he would get from the police station in the future, the door opened and a cold voice came in, "Wu Zhengxie, now we require you to lead the way."
"Ah, here it comes." Wu Zhengxie didn't mind Yan Jing's icy tone at all, perhaps in his opinion, this was all to be expected.
Just the tone of voice was heard by the police outside, and it was different. For a time, the eight police officers who arrived later almost looked at Wu Zhengxie with sympathetic eyes, as if to say "Kid, you're in big trouble!" However, Wu himself felt very good, and ran to Yan Jing's side with a smile, saying "Sister Yan, I'll take you there. If we really find a corpse, will you reward me for being a good citizen?"
"Hmm, how should I reward you? Let me think..."
Ignoring the strange looks from everyone, Wu Zhengyi furrowed his brow and started pacing back and forth on the spot, deep in thought. Suddenly, he slapped himself on the head and exclaimed excitedly, "I've got it! You can issue a plaque for me, yeah, that's it, a plaque! I saw it in those movies before, wasn't it called 'Good Citizen Certificate' or something?"
"Hmph!"
At the entrance, the later policeman couldn't help but say, "I said how come you look so familiar, it's actually you!" The speaker looked at Wu Zhengxie while speaking, and nodded while looking, "Not bad, not bad, you kid has made progress now, and even changed into new clothes?"
He said that, and then he looked at Wu with a suspicious face again, "You little devil's money for buying clothes won't be cheated too, will it?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhengyi was taken aback for a moment. He looked up at the speaker and hummed, "Deceive? This master hasn't deceived anyone in a long time. These clothes were given to me by someone I helped with my feng shui skills as a token of gratitude. You little brat, do you have any discerning eyesight? Can't you even see the unique aura of good fortune on these clothes?"
Everyone was shocked, including Yan Jing, and they all stared at Wu Zhengye with a smug and serious expression.
After a long time, a voice whispered in the crowd, "Brother, do you know him?"
The person speaking was the 'Dharma Master Comrade' who had just been smoking and discussing with Master Wu, but now that 'Dharma Master Comrade' was standing quietly on the side, softly asking his brother Wang Cheng.
"This kid has left a deep impression on me, even if he turns to ashes, he can't escape my eyes!" Wang Cheng said, looking at Yan Jing with one eye, then seemingly smiling but not quite, looked at Wu Zhengxie and said, "Wu Zhengxie, your clothes have something that we can't see or hear you bluffing about, but what you just mentioned 'Good Citizen Certificate', our police station really can't produce it. This thing is a certificate given by the Japanese to traitors during the war of resistance against Japan. If you really want it, I don't mind helping you make one."
"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu hastily waved his hand and then let out a sigh, saying "Alas, what can be done? I was thinking that in the future when I set up my fortune-telling stall, I would take out the certificate issued by your police department, but now it seems..."
Wu Zheng's eyes rolled, and he continued, "This master has always wandered the world without seeking fame or fortune, but since you can't bring out something this master likes, just casually take out 180,000 or so, and this master will graciously accept it."
"Alright!" Hearing Wu Zhengye's increasingly unreliable words, Yan Jing finally spoke up, "Wu Zhengye, if what you say is true, after we confirm the identity of the deceased, the family of the deceased will thank you."
"Turn around, 'Little Zhang, go get the car and bring it over, we're going now.'"
A nine-seater van, just enough to fill the ten people including Wu Zhengxie, suddenly sped down the deserted street with its sirens blaring. The neon lights on both sides of the street, accompanied by the slowly falling snowflakes, seemed to be telling a story of coldness and desolation. The night sky, devoid of even a single star, was painted red by the city's giant searchlights. This was a man-made attempt to create a festive atmosphere, but how many people truly felt the joy and warmth that came with it?
In the car, none of the ten people spoke a word. Wu, who had initially told the police where to go, also rarely shut his mouth.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole car seemed to be somewhat dull and depressing, especially at this time close to 11:30 at night, under which people couldn't help but feel drowsy.
"We're here!" A cold and crisp shout suddenly made the crowd, who were about to fall asleep, jump with a start.
With the light of the van, Wu Zhengye raised his eyes and immediately pointed to the small slope on the right side. At this time, the small slope was almost all white with snow, and the stone road up the slope had completely disappeared. In addition, this place is not a central urban area, there are no streetlights illuminating it, so the scene presented before everyone's eyes is a vast expanse of grayish-white.
The cold wind came from time to time, and several police officers subconsciously tightened their police uniforms.
"Is it here?" Yan Jie's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced at Wu Zhengxie, "Are you sure?"
