"Li Ling, Yang Wenping, your main task is to keep an eye on Xijiang Pharmacy and the Song family."

"Zhou Yong, Chu Jianye, the eight of you, come with me to the border post."

"The others should activate the security booth's magic array in their original assigned areas and search for the corpse cultivators. If any are found, report them immediately."

Xie Gui glanced at everyone, his expression solemn, and then gave the order.

"Yes, Captain."

The twenty-odd police officers, lined up in two rows, replied in unison.

Among the officers, in addition to the twenty-three regular officers, there were also several trainee officers who stayed behind for observation.

Xie Gui deliberately walked up to Li Ling, a knowing smile on his face, and patted him on the shoulder. "You guys better watch out!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Li Ling and the other person replied in unison.

As for Song Qinghe, because this mission was related to the Song family, his identity was sensitive, so he stayed at the detention center.

"Set off."

As Xie Gui finished speaking, the police officers each boarded their shuttles and left the police station.

Four action teams, including trainee officers, totaling less than 160 people, are responsible for the security of the entire western district.

In particular, the western border is adjacent to barren mountains.

The task is extremely arduous.

Police officers being injured or killed is commonplace.

Ten minutes later.

West Lake Street.

"Brother Ling, how are the two of us supposed to keep an eye on the Song family?"

Yang Wenping looked at Li Ling with a worried expression.

He felt immense pressure receiving this assignment on his second day after being officially hired.

Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "What else can we do? We'll patrol the West Lake Pharmacy and the Song family area."

Even under such a sudden and unexpected circumstances yesterday, Song Jing was not caught.

It will definitely be even harder to catch him in the future.

As for whether it was true, as Xie Gui claimed, that Song Jing went to the desolate mountains to buy medicine, he had some doubts. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?

Moreover, since Song Jing was able to get Bai Zhongkui into the county town, getting him out would be a piece of cake.

This police station and border post seem to be a bit shady; I should be careful.

"Will this be acceptable?"

Yang Wenping asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? We don't have a search warrant. If we go to the Song family's house, we could be sued at any time."

As he spoke, Li Ling walked toward the street.

He's neither a radical, indignant youth nor a young man bursting with a sense of justice.

Do everything within your means.

If it is within one's power to rid the people of harm, then so be it!

[The Kitchen Official/Police Officer] doesn't approve of your idea and is issuing you a warning. However, considering you just killed the evil cultivator, their favorability rating hasn't dropped. (If an official doesn't serve the people, hurry home and grow sweet potatoes!)

As he saw the words appear, Li Ling's lips twitched.

I almost lost one point of affection.

The two then began their day's patrol work.

First, we arrived at the security post.

As is customary, Yang Wenping activated the magic array.

This time they brought spirit crystals to activate the magic array and injected the spirit crystals into the array slots.

Once activated, it shimmered with light, weaving together a network of magic arrays that enveloped the area within a five-mile radius of West Lake Street.

If there is evil energy in the area covered by the magic array, the magic array will be able to sense it.

Li Ling was worried about the condition of the earth veins within his body.

They secretly approached the magic circle.

Seeing that everything was normal, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking the magic array and finding nothing unusual, the two began their patrol.

The Song family lives in Jinhu Community, Xihu Street.

This is an upscale residential area; without a search warrant, they cannot enter the residents' homes.

They simply negotiated with the community security guards, using the pretext of investigating cults to retrieve some of the community's surveillance footage.

The time when Song Shijie entered and exited the community was determined.

Other matters are outside their scope of responsibility.

······.

Xining Residential Area is located on Xining Street, west of the local police station. It is an old and dilapidated neighborhood.

However, it is a staff residential area in the county town, and the residential area is equipped with a spirit-gathering array.

It's 7:30 in the evening.

Li Ling piloted the flying shuttle and arrived at the gate of the residential area.

After parking the shuttle in the west parking lane, he went to the security booth.

Show your police officer ID.

"Hello Officer Li, I am Wen Feihu, the deputy captain of the security team in Xining Community."

The tall, young security guard smiled at Li Ling.

"Hello, Captain Wen!"

Li Ling replied with a smile.

"Your room is nice, a small courtyard-style single room. After entering the community, walk a few dozen meters, and it's the first room on your right."

Wen Feihu said kindly.

Li Ling thanked him and stepped through the door.

Upon entering the residential area, the noise of the streets was completely blocked by the shielding magic array, and everything became quiet.

The crystal chandelier hanging high in the air emits a soft light, making the community look warm and peaceful.

The roadside was lined with various spiritual plants, emitting a faint spiritual aura.

Li Ling took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.

According to the security guard, he looked around as he walked.

Most of the buildings in this community are small courtyards, with only the north and south sides having three-story buildings.

Each courtyard is surrounded by a faint white light shield.

This is a shielding formation that can both prevent outsiders from peeping and prevent the loss of spiritual energy within the room.

Soon, he arrived at number thirty-two.

Li Ling took out the jade key and pointed it at the jade lock on the wooden door.

As the jade lock flashed with a blue light, the wooden door slowly opened.

To Li Ling's surprise, there was a small open space of about thirty square meters in front of the room.

Some flowers and plants were planted in the corner.

After walking across the open space, the door of a large, dark wooden house ahead was half-open.

Standing outside the door, Li Ling could sense the spiritual energy flowing inside the room.

He then pushed open the door and entered.

The room was pitch black.

He possesses the "Eyes of the Kitchen God," allowing him to clearly see the situation inside the room.

The room was larger than the original dormitory, and the layout was more square.

Li Ling found the switch for the crystal chandelier on the wall, turned it on, and the room became brightly lit.

It looks like it's about forty square meters.

The ground is made of old red bricks, with some obvious gaps in the bricks.

The walls are slightly yellowed.

There was also some furniture on display.

A square coffee table and two rattan chairs facing north.

There is also a mottled wooden bed on the south side.

Li Ling didn't care about any of this.

It's much better than the old dormitory.

The key is abundant spiritual energy.

A mid-grade first-level spiritual energy is enough to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Li Ling took a few steps, pushed open the window on the right, and a cool breeze immediately blew in.

He then took out the refrigerator, clothes, dishes and chopsticks from the storage bag.

Take the basin of water and the rag, and walk to the left side of the room.

There is a small toilet and a kitchen here.

It can be said that although it is small, it has all the vital organs.

A basin of water was placed in it.

Li Ling began cleaning the room.

After wiping it down, he arranged all the household items neatly.

Lay the bamboo mat on the wooden bed.

After a flurry of activity, it was almost nine o'clock.

Li Ling then took out the remaining two chicken wings and instant noodles from the refrigerator.

After cleaning, I gathered the fire in the stove and started cooking dinner.

After Meimei finished her first meal in her new home, it was already past nine o'clock.

Only then did Li Ling feel a sense of stability.

Successfully promoted to a permanent position, new dormitory, everything is a new beginning.

After resting for a while, he took out the Flame Sword Talisman given to him by Lu Lingyun and played with it in his hand.
