Who moved my novel?

Dong Peng walked out of the coffee shop in a daze in the night.

Although he could not completely agree with Xue Mo's statement, he had to say that the Municipal Bureau did have an unshirkable responsibility in the matter of Zhou Ju.

"Hello." Xue Mo, who was still in the coffee shop, waved to a young waiter.

"Hello, sir, what do you need?" Seeing someone waving, the waiter quickly put down the rag in his hand and walked over.

"Ask you a question." Xue Mo smiled slightly and looked at the waiter who didn't know where to put his hands: "You are new here, don't be nervous, I just want to ask for directions."

"Please go ahead." Seeing Xue Mo's gentle tone, the waiter relaxed a little and nodded.

"Where is the nearest lottery station nearby?" Xue Mo asked with a smile.

"Lottery station?" The waiter seemed surprised why Xue Mo asked this, but still pointed in a direction: "Go out of our store, walk along the road on the left, turn right at the first intersection, and it's the second one on the right."

"Okay, thank you." Xue Mo nodded with a smile and handed over a small-denomination bill: "Tip."

"Ah?" The waiter was a little surprised. There are very few people in China who have this habit, let alone in a small city like Chixin City.

"After all, this thing is a foreign thing." Xue Mo pointed to the coffee in front of him.

"Thank you then." Xue Mo said so, and the waiter naturally nodded to thank him. But then he said with some entanglement: "Well, sir, I don't know if I should say something."

"You can say it, and if you shouldn't say it, I'll pretend I didn't hear it." Xue Mo shrugged and drank the coffee in the cup.

"Sir, I think if you want to make money, buying lottery tickets is not particularly suitable." The waiter scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have bought lottery tickets for more than half a year, and the biggest prize I won is only twenty, but I have spent hundreds of dollars. I think your friend should be quite rich. If you want to make money, why not let him help you?"

"This matter." Xue Mo smiled and nodded: "I know it is not so easy to win the lottery. Don't worry, I just have the habit of buying for fun."

"Is that so." Seeing Xue Mo say this, the waiter said no more and nodded: "I am too talkative."

"No." Xue Mo shook his head: "I should thank you for your sincere advice. It's getting late, I'll leave first, and I wish you good luck in your work."

"Thank you, sir, take care, welcome next time." The waiter nodded, watched Xue Mo go out, and then leaned over to clean up the table.

"Hey? Strange, the sugar cubes that were just filled up are gone?"

...

"Dong Peng? Why are you back again?" Captain Huang looked at Dong Peng in confusion.

"This is for the brothers to refresh themselves." Dong Peng bowed and handed a box of energy drinks in his hand to Captain Huang: "I can't do anything for Director Zhou. He is in such a bad condition, and I don't know what he can eat. I can only assist you."

"Thank you." Captain Huang could feel Dong Peng's sincere emotions, nodded, and took the things from Dong Peng: "Don't worry, Director Zhou is not only your friend, he is also our director. We will never let the murderer take advantage of it again!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Dong Peng bowed again and said sincerely.

"You're welcome." Captain Huang shook his head, and then seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, Dong Peng, I talked to our big... and other colleagues about the ideas you told me before, and I feel that they make some sense, but now the situation in our bureau..."

After speaking, Captain Huang pointed around.

Although there were many policemen guarding Director Zhou, Dong Peng recognized them at a glance. Most of them were not from the Municipal Bureau. They looked like they were transferred from the police station.

"Are you so short of people?" Dong Peng was a little surprised.

When I went to the Municipal Bureau before, I felt that there were many people. Why are you so short of people?

"After all, our Chixin City is a small place." Team Huang patted Dong Peng on the shoulder: "There is a shortage of staff all year round, and the quota given by the higher-ups has never been full. Let's go, smoke a cigarette in the toilet?"

"Okay." Dong Peng nodded, and while following Team Huang to the toilet, he said: "You are at least a stable job, and the income is not low. How can you not recruit people?"

"It depends on where you are." Team Huang was also helpless when he said this: "In theory, it is indeed easy for us to recruit people in the public security department, but there are three factors in our Chixin City that are too unfavorable."

"Which three?" Seeing that they were at the door of the bathroom, Dong Peng consciously took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Team Huang.

"First, our economy is underdeveloped." Team Huang used Dong Peng's lighter to light a cigarette, and said vaguely: "Other places are so lucrative that you can get a few thousand or eight hundred just by checking someone. Here, it's hard to make a three-digit number."

"Well, that's true, but it should be fine later." Dong Peng nodded and said while lighting his cigarette.

Chixin City is now at the peak of economic development. I believe it will become a prosperous city within ten years.

"Second, too many things happened in the past few years." Team Huang exhaled a puff of smoke: "You have heard about what our Chixin City used to be. Outsiders don't want to come to such a place."

"That was all in the past." Dong Peng frowned slightly: "It's not so chaotic now, so it's not a big problem."

“Hmm.” Team Huang nodded without comment: “If you think the second point has little impact, then take a look at the third point.”

“What?” Dong Peng asked in confusion.

“There have been too many eucalyptus cases in Chixin City recently, and others dare not come.” Team Huang looked out of the toilet window: “In just a few months, there have been dozens of major eucalyptus cases!”
