Chapter 60 Knowing the Tiger is in the Mountains

Streamer, streamer, what are we doing today?

Continuing to put people in sacks? I think that's a good idea (dog emoji)

This morning my mom asked me why I was washing my pants again.

As soon as the livestream started, a large number of viewers flooded in.

It's July and August now, the peak of summer vacation, and many viewers are off.

Watching the livestream every day has become a habit for many viewers.

In just a few minutes, the livestream had forty to fifty thousand viewers.

The Ghost Festival has passed, if you want to see it again, wait until next year.

Jiang Lin looked at the active bullet comments in the livestream and explained:

Today is still the usual work, guiding souls.

As he spoke, he opened the underworld passage.

And arrived in the mortal world.

What appeared on the livestream screen were no longer tall buildings.

But buildings of varying heights.

These houses lacked the prosperity of big cities. Whether it was the blue plastic rain shields outside the windows or the peeling paint on the walls,

They all indicated the location.

Looking further ahead, there was a large river. People by the river were either carrying baskets on their backs or holding hoes.

Clearly, they had just come from the fields.

Urban village? Or the outskirts of the city?

I'm fine with the daily livestream, this area looks familiar!

Watch out upstairs, it might be near your house!

I know this place, it's on the edge of town. I went fishing here with friends before.

Since it's vacation, I just came back from the melon field with my mom.

The viewers in the livestream prepared their small stools and bought iced melons.

And started eating them with gusto.

Summer melons are so refreshing!

On the pedestrian street, under the lush shade of the trees.

Several elderly people were setting up a small table to play chess.

"Grandpa, are you playing chess?"

A handsome young man in a police uniform rode his motorcycle past.

His face was resolute, having just shed his youthful immaturity, with a touch of mature charm.

"Oh, Xiao Liang, out on patrol again?"

Grandpa looked up, chuckled, and his eye wrinkles bunched together.

Liang Zheng looked and smiled, "Grandpa, are you going to win today?"

"Of course!"

Grandpa said proudly, then waved his hand, "Alright, alright, you go on with your business."

With that, he focused on the chessboard in front of him.

Seeing this, Liang Zheng didn't disturb him further and continued patrolling the town on his small motorcycle.

From one end of the town to the other.

Patrolling in circles.

The wind blowing against him carried a hint of warmth.

The hustle and bustle of the wet market, the idle chatter of the elderly, the playful shouts of children, the calls of animals.

While it was called patrolling, there weren't many major incidents or serious cases in this small town.

It felt more like going for a ride.

When he first came out of school, Liang Zheng had felt a sense of disappointment.

After all, who didn't have a heroic dream when entering the police academy?

Catching bad guys, cracking down on criminals.

However, after staying in this small town for a while,

Liang Zheng gradually understood, and his mindset underwent some changes.

There weren't that many criminals.

There weren't that many heroes.

Wasn't the peaceful and beautiful scene before them

The ultimate goal that their profession pursued?

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, getting entangled and annoyed by small things in life.

In old age, drinking tea and chatting under the shade of trees.

Such a life was the best.

"Huh? Is the streamer showing us the scenery today?"

"Honestly, life in a small town is quite good. I might move to one when I retire."

"My grandpa doesn't even want to come to the city. He says his roots are in his hometown."

"Haven't you guys noticed? The streamer is following someone?"

"The streamer isn't sightseeing, it's that police officer patrolling!"

At first, the viewers were all captivated by the scenery of the small town.

Only after watching for a while did they realize.

There was the same person in all these scenes!

"Holy crap! Is this police officer going to be in trouble?!"

"What major event could happen in this small town? I can't imagine."

"He's so young, could he be sick?"

"I suddenly hope the streamer is just out for a stroll because they're feeling down."

Public Security Bureau: Contacting them now.

There were always people from the Public Security Bureau monitoring the livestream.

They had also thought that one day their figures would appear in the livestream.

Perhaps they could indirectly help solve cases and pursue criminals.

But when that day truly came, they fell silent.

The Public Security Bureau immediately contacted Liang Zheng's sub-bureau and relayed the message.

Hum hum hum~ Hum hum~

Liang Zheng was patrolling by the river at this moment.

There was a large river outside the town, about ten meters wide.

He had to patrol it several times a year to prevent any accidents.

While humming a tune, his walkie-talkie suddenly crackled to life.

"Liang Zheng, Liang Zheng."

He quickly pulled over to the side of the road. "This is Liang Zheng, go ahead."

"We saw you in the livestream. Don't move around, we'll be there soon."

"Livestream?"

Liang Zheng didn't react for a moment.

"Underworld Healing Daily Livestream."

Liang Zheng blinked and immediately looked up and around.

He was outside the town now, and there was no one around.

Those who had gone to the fields were mostly back by now.

"Captain, don't be nervous. Maybe they're here to give us a case. It's not necessarily me who's dead."

"What could possibly happen in this small town? Unless those guys are hiding in this small place."

"But isn't that exactly what they're here to deliver? A case?"

The other end of the walkie-talkie fell silent.

Liang Zheng also immediately realized.

If someone else had died, that Wuchang wouldn't be following just him.

He smiled and parked his motorcycle to the side.

"Alright, I'll just wander around here and wait for you guys to come."

Actually, even if the captain hadn't called, he had planned to patrol here and then go back to rest.

"Ah!"

He had only taken a few steps when he heard a cry from ahead.

"Brother!"

The voice wasn't very clear, but it was accompanied by the sound of falling into water.

Liang Zheng sprinted forward.

After making a turn.

He saw two children, about seven or eight years old, floating in the river.

In mid-air, Jiang Lin also followed.

Everyone saw Liang Zheng's actions and what was about to happen.

On the walkie-talkie, the captain shouted, "Liang Zheng! Don't be reckless!"

The river was swift after the recent rain.

In just this short moment, the two children had already drifted several meters away.

"No time! I'm going first, you guys follow!"

As he spoke, Liang Zheng had already reached the riverbank. Without time to think,

He took off his walkie-talkie and jumped in.

"Plop!"

"Liang Zheng! Liang Zheng!"

"Quick! Tell them to hurry up! Full speed!"

His pager fell onto the grass, with no response.
