After returning to the patrol station, Wang Xiaoshou made another set of account books.

Lin Ze took it and looked at it. Wang Xiaoshou had six dollars, the rest of the brothers who participated in the operation had four dollars each, and the rest of the patrolmen had two dollars each.

Lin Ze nodded. "Not only did you participate in the operation, you also provided important clues for the gambling raid and were in charge of the inventory. Let's put it this way. There are still some tables, chairs and benches in that yard. After the police have finished examining the body, you can go and clean them up. Sell the tables, chairs and benches and keep the house. I can use them."

Wang Xiaoshou already gets more than others. Giving him more bonus would not only be bad for him, but would also affect Lin Ze's prestige.

But occupying those two houses and letting Wang Xiaoshou sell the furniture and other things can be considered another reward for him.

Wang Xiaoshou then followed Lin Ze back home. When they reached the door, he handed him the wooden box containing the gold bars before leaving.

Lin Ze walked in, went to the main room to rest for a while, and then placed the gold bars in several secret compartments.

This system warehouse is good in every way, but only the rewards from the system can be stored and accessed. Things obtained from outside cannot be put in it.

So Lin Ze looked for many places to hide things during the past year or so. In addition to the multiple secret compartments in the house in Xiaer Tiao Hutong, he also set up several "hides" in other places.

After finishing all these, seeing that it was getting dark, I went to the second meat shop at the entrance of the alley to order a plate of fried pork head and a plate of fried peanuts, then went to the big wine jar opened by a Shanxi man and got half a pound of wine.

When I got home, I turned on the radio. Yang Baosen's Wen Zhaoguan was playing. I drank a little wine and listened to the opera, putting a peanut in my mouth from time to time. I felt so comfortable.

After drinking half a pound of wine, he went to wash up, turned off the light and fell asleep.

The next morning, I felt refreshed again and was stretching my muscles in the yard when I heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it turned out to be Wang Xiaoshou. Lin Ze was happy, "I say, kid, now that you have money, why don't you go to Hanjia Hutong to find your old lover? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Wang Xiaoshou smiled naively and raised the food box in his hand.

"Tofu pudding from Lao Bai's house in Menkuang Hutong, horseshoe-shaped sesame cakes with lamb's head meat, Patrolman, you haven't eaten any yet, have you?"

Lin Ze let him in and watched him put cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Don't be busy in the future. It's fine for me to eat something on the street."

Wang Xiaoshou said as he worked: "You don't have a housekeeper here, so you have to do everything yourself. Although it's good to be simple, it's inevitably inconvenient."

Lin Ze asked him to eat together, but Wang Xiaoshou said, "I've eaten, you eat, you eat."

Lin Ze washed his hands, sat down at the table, drank tofu pudding, and looked at Wang Xiaoshou.

"Okay, just tell me what's going on."

Wang Xiaoshou bowed his head quickly, "I can't hide anything from you, Patrolman. I've saved some money these days. Can you help me get a job in the Patrol Office, even patrolling the streets? I think it's not a good idea to be a errand boy forever. If you get promoted one day, I'll be left alone!"

Lin Ze really didn't expect this to be the case. He thought that Wang Xiaoshou was a smart and tactful person, so it would be convenient to ask him to do something.

But unexpectedly, this kid really took off his old shoes and put on new ones, turning over a new leaf!

He worked hard, so of course I had to help him. After thinking for a while, I said, "You should save your money to marry a wife. In this world, there are many people who can't even make a living. Your job is not easy."

When Wang Xiaoshou heard this, his heart sank.

Lin Ze continued, "How about this, I'll go to the sub-district police station in a few days and talk to them. If you're lucky, the officers there might be able to give me some respect."

Wang Xiaoshou's mood was like a roller coaster, and he couldn't help but express his gratitude.

After Lin Ze finished eating, he packed up his things and left happily.

Lin Ze changed into patrol captain's clothes and went out for a walk.

Huimingxuan Tea Shop was closed. Lin Ze inquired about the shop next door and was told that the owner's family in the south fell ill, so he went home. The shop was originally rented, so he simply closed it.

The shop owner next to him thought Lin Ze had something against the shop, and whispered, "Captain, you've always taken good care of us, but I have to say that this shop is unlucky. Think about it, how long has this tea shop been open? It's been more than a year, and let's not talk about whether it has made any money, but the owner's family got sick first. It's really unlucky!"

Lin Ze nodded, "What you said makes sense. Let's see who rented it and some of them are in trouble!"

[Ding! Detected that the host is gloating over the misfortune, reward: five dollars]

Lin Ze: ??? Does this count?

After making an appointment with the owner of the shop next door to have a drink in a few days, Lin Ze continued strolling.

When we arrived at the street in front of Dongbianmen Station, we saw from afar a shop decorated with lights and a suona band.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a Suzhou-style dim sum shop.

Pushing aside the onlookers, Lin Ze shouted, "I say, who told you to occupy the road? If you are all like this, playing music and drums on the road, while everyone else is walking, people who don't know would think someone is getting married!"

When everyone saw that it was Patrol Captain Lin, they all bowed and greeted him. Lin Ze was very arrogant and responded perfunctorily.

The owner of the Su-style dim sum shop was in his fifties, a mature man, wearing a thin cotton gown and a small hat, and he looked like an honest businessman.

Seeing Lin Ze in his uniform, he took out a gift package wrapped in red paper from his waist and said, "Boss, you have worked hard. I will give you a small gift to have some tea."

Lin Ze didn't shy away from it and took the red envelope loudly, "Don't do it again!"

[Ding! The host blackmailed the merchant. Reward: a pair of sunglasses]

After getting the red envelope, Lin Ze did not stop and went towards the patrol station.

The people nearby said to the owner of the dim sum shop, "Hey, let me tell you, you didn't waste your money. Our Mr. Lin is different from other bosses. Since he has accepted your money, if any rogue comes here to cause trouble in the future, just go to the patrol station and they will take care of it!"

Then the topic of the crowd shifted from the opening of the new store to Captain Lin.

This one said that the day before, Chief Inspector Lin shot and killed a notorious bandit. That bandit had roamed across several northern provinces. He was a towering man with arms that could hold a horse. But guess what? Chief Inspector Lin shot him dead with one shot!

The one who said that although Captain Lin was a good person, he was a little too experienced. His eyes made people feel numb and people could only respect him but could not get close to him.

After talking for a long time, the shopkeeper brought out a plate of snacks for everyone to taste. As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has eaten. No one said that the food was not delicious, but few people actually paid for it.

Even so, the old shopkeeper still had a smile on his face and asked everyone to try a few more pieces!
