Jiang Jincheng thought about it for a long time since that night. He was thinking about whether he should continue to be a policeman.

The scene of Wen Fei's tragic death in front of him that night was hard for him to accept. This kind of supernatural power killed people... Are the police really useful? What can they do...

"Uncle Jiang."

Xiao Ling stewed a pot of hot old hen soup, and specially removed the bones from the chicken thighs and served them to Jiang Jincheng.

"Still thinking about that night?"

Xiao Ling gently blew on the chicken soup with a spoon to warm it up before squatting down and handing it to Jiang Jincheng.

Jiang Jincheng didn't seem to be in the mood to eat, and just put the chicken soup back on the table.

Xiao Ling's eyes darkened and he forced a smile: "Uncle Jiang...some things have already happened and it's useless for us to think about them. I know it's hard for Uncle Jiang to accept the emergence of this supernatural power..."

"But, uncle, think about it, everything and everyone has its own reason for existence. Their existence is reasonable. Maybe their appearance will make us feel helpless, but..."

"Stop comforting me..."

Jiang Jincheng's voice was slightly hoarse. He rubbed his bloodshot eyes tiredly and then looked at Xiao Ling: "I just can't figure it out... Xiao Ling..."

"What should we do if this kind of thing commits a crime? Who should we arrest... How should we explain..."

Jiang Jincheng sighed and then laughed at himself: "Do I have to ask a Taoist priest to take it away, and take the container that seals it to the court for sentencing?"

"Sentence Gui...hahaha..."

Xiao Ling could hear the bitterness and helplessness in Jiang Jincheng's voice. Indeed, when they encountered such a thing committing a crime, they, as humans, did not even have the ability to see it, let alone stop it.

"I just don't understand. Human civilization has existed for thousands of years! Why hasn't there been a single murderer? Why haven't I heard of anyone committing murder before? Why am I so damn lucky to have met one!"

"What? There are law-abiding and revengeful spies?"

Jiang Jincheng rubbed his hair in annoyance, leaned on the sofa and sighed weakly. He really wanted to smoke but forced himself to hold it back when he saw Xiao Ling.

"Uncle is afraid..."

Xiao Ling sat down beside Jiang Jincheng and asked softly, "Can I understand it this way?"

"Uncle Jiang is afraid that this brutal murder will result in us not being able to give a reasonable explanation to the victim's family and society. Uncle is afraid that this matter will end up with nothing."

"I am also afraid that if I encounter such a thing again in the future, I will be so helpless. We don't even know whether we should intervene or not."

Xiao Ling's words hit the nail on the head for Jiang Jincheng. He grumbled and then reluctantly said, "Xiao Ling, I don't even know if I should continue to be a police officer... I..."

"Uncle, what is the purpose of being a policeman?"

Xiao Ling looked at Jiang Jincheng calmly and asked again: "Why do you want to be a policeman?"

"Why else? Because I don't want justice to go unpunished and I don't want the criminals to go unpunished!"

"So, uncle."

Xiao Ling gently held Jiang Jincheng's hand and said seriously: "It is indeed surprising that Li Gui killed someone, but such things are rare after all."

"Uncle cannot give up his beliefs because of one exception. Besides Li Gui's murder, there are many more murders waiting for uncle to bring justice to those victims!"

Xiao Ling unconsciously held Jiang Jincheng's hand tightly: "Uncle, we may seem helpless in areas beyond our capabilities, but we just need to handle the cases within our capabilities, right?"

“There are more man-made cases out there than these very few special incidents.”

"There is still more justice that needs to be done. Isn't that what being a police officer means?"

Jiang Jincheng was stunned for a moment as he looked at Xiao Ling in front of him, who seemed to have lost his usual childish and impulsive look. He was a little dazed for a moment, and then he felt the heat in his palm and realized that Xiao Ling had been holding his hand without him noticing.

"Uncle, you can't be decadent, you are a people's policeman!"

Xiao Ling came closer and said word by word: "You need to speak up for justice, you have to protect the people..."

Then I'll watch over you...

Jiang Jincheng suddenly chuckled and slapped Xiao Ling on the head. He seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and narrowed his eyes with great relief.

"You little brat...are you trying to educate me?"

"How can I..."

Xiao Ling rubbed his head in pain and hurriedly moved closer to him: "Uncle, so you are not feeling uncomfortable now?"

"I am a people's policeman, why should I feel bad? I don't even have time to show my glory!"

Jiang Jincheng grabbed Xiao Ling's ear and laughed, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so childish and reckless at ordinary times, but you are really good when you encounter something!"

"Hehe... I'm not that childish..."

Xiao Ling scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Jiang Jincheng then became serious and said in a deep voice: "You are right. There is still justice that needs to be served. There are still many criminals who have not been arrested!"

"We can't give up because of a fierce ghost! At worst, we can find a Taoist priest to take it away!"

There was suddenly light in Jiang Jincheng's eyes, and he seemed to have regained his energetic look. Xiao Ling looked at Jiang Jincheng quietly, and unconsciously turned his head and coughed to cover up his flushed face.

"I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson today. You...you...why are your ears red? Are they hot?"

Jiang Jincheng subconsciously reached out to touch her but Xiao Ling hurriedly dodged and waved his hand awkwardly: "No...no..."

"Ok?"

Xiao Ling noticed Jiang Jincheng's slightly suspicious look and could only bite the bullet and say, "Just...just...just..."

"It's just...it's just...see how energetic uncle is...it looks good..."

"I...I...I...I...like..."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he didn't dare to say anything else. He just turned around and grabbed his clothes awkwardly.

"You? What do you like? Me?"

Jiang Jincheng pointed at himself uncertainly, and immediately frowned when he heard Xiao Ling's muffled "hmm".

"Xiao Ling..."

Jiang Jincheng sighed, which made Xiao Ling feel guilty. He hurriedly stammered and explained, "No... Uncle... I... I I I... I'm not the kind of person who likes... I... I..."

"Oh, uncle understands!"

Jiang Jincheng patted Xiao Ling's shoulder heavily, causing Xiao Ling to tremble. Then he heard Jiang Jincheng laugh and said, "Don't you young people all like to chase stars? Aren't you chasing your uncle instead of stars? Oh, I understand!"

"Ah? Ah...haha...ah...right..."

Xiao Ling forced a smile and then breathed a sigh of relief with a bit of depression. Jiang Jincheng looked at Xiao Ling with great satisfaction and leaned closer and said, "I have to say that you have good taste. When you chase stars, you should chase people like us who serve the public! Don't learn from those people who chase after the shit!"

"Alas... your uncle is just too handsome. It's normal for you to want to pursue your uncle. I'm not exaggerating about your uncle's looks. If his family had some connections, he might really have entered the entertainment industry. Hahaha..."

Xiao Ling: …

"Uh…"

Xiao Ling looked at Jiang Jincheng's smiling face and sighed helplessly, then whispered: "It would be great if I could really catch up with her..."

"what?"

"Ah...no..."

Xiao Ling waved his hands hurriedly and said with a cold sweat: "I said uncle is really handsome... I should chase after someone like my uncle..."

Jiang Jincheng sighed heavily and then patted his shoulder, looking at Xiao Ling with an extremely appreciative look: "I have to say, Xiao Ling."

"Even though you are childish, crybaby, and like to control me smoking, drinking, and playing cards..."

Xiao Ling: …

"But..."

Jiang Jincheng grinned and said, "I have to say you have good taste in thinking your uncle is handsome."

Xiao Ling: …
