The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

At least they won't steal from normal people.

"Ahem, Miss Bai Zhi, don't pay any attention to what Billy is saying. We will negotiate with the owner of that car. Stealing or robbing is impossible, after all, such things are easy to get caught."

"I believe you all, besides this matter, there is one more thing... As you have seen, the money is in hand now, but my friends can't keep living in hotels forever, so I need to buy a house."

As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Ling's voice came into the conversation:

"Leave this to me. Our Fahds happen to live here and are quite familiar with this area. We know exactly where the best value houses are."

Ling smiled as she walked into the crowd. "Nicole, your Rabbit House has already gotten one mission, so don't try to take this one from me~"

"...How about we switch?"

Nicole tried asking, "As we all know, the profit from buying a house is definitely much higher than the profit from buying a motorcycle."

Ling crossed her arms and said, "No!"

Chapter 439 Officer Zhu Yuan, I have an elder relative surnamed Jing

"Neither of them will be missing; both are equally important."

"By the way, the house should ideally have a shop attached, as we need to do some small business."

Bai Zhi added a sentence.

"No problem, all of these can be accommodated."

Ling replied with a smile that when she and her brother came to Liufen Street, they had carefully investigated the surrounding area and knew which houses were of good quality and in good locations.

Although in the end, due to a lack of funds, I only bought this video store.

However, these experiences are now proving useful.

"Then I'll take you there now. There's a four-story commercial building nearby that's been vacant for a while. It should be perfect."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Ling. And Miss Nicole, I'll leave the task of contacting that motorcycle to you."

"No problem, the cunning rabbit will handle it all!"

After Nicole finished speaking, she led Billy toward the motorcycles.

Ling led Bai Zhi through 16th Street, making left and right turns, until they arrived at a sizable four-story building.

"Look, this is the four-story building. The first floor can be used as a shop, and the functions of the other floors can be customized."

“My brother and I used to think about buying this place, but unfortunately, the price was more than four times that of our Random Play video store.”

Ling sighed. If they had bought this building back then, she and her brother wouldn't have had to leave one of them to sleep on the sofa next to the HDD system every day.

Bai Zhi carefully examined the small building. It was indeed not very large. The area of ​​the first floor was about three times the size of Random Play video store, which was about the size of a small supermarket.

However, compared to Random Play video store, this four-story building is quite nice and can accommodate a lot of people.

"Excuse me, do you two have a moment?"

As Bai Zhi was observing the building, she suddenly felt a shadow loom over her.

Looking up, her tall figure and dashing demeanor... clearly indicate she's an android character.

"Hello, officers. What can I do for you?"

Ling quickly replied.

"Well... I mainly wanted to ask you two citizens if you have time to participate in our police station's related policing outreach, and what you two are doing here?"

Zhu Yuan looked Ling and Bai Zhi up and down.

Ling looks very ordinary, just like the girl next door.

Bai Zhi, this outfit is very beautiful, but the texture seems to be different from some of the clothes she has seen before.

This caught her attention, so she added a question after originally only asking if the two were free to participate in police publicity.

“Police outreach…I can do that. Right now I’m introducing the housing prices here to my client, Ms. Bai Zhi, who wants to buy a property.”

"Purchasing property...?"

Zhu Yuan looked the four-story building up and down.

The housing prices in New Elliott are incredibly high; even though 16th Street isn't exactly a central area, it's still not cheap.

How could such a small child come up with such a large sum of money?

"Miss Bai Zhi is young and promising. People like you are exactly the kind of people that fraudsters like to target. May I invite you to participate in our police publicity campaign?"

After a moment's thought, Zhu Yuan calmly said that she felt it was necessary to probe Bai Zhi's background.

"Sure, when are you going?"

Bai Zhi did not refuse; having just arrived in this world, it would be good to explore it around.

"It's the day after tomorrow, at the police station near Guangying Plaza. Before then, could you please provide your identification information so I can register?"

"can."

Bai Zhi took out her ID card and handed it to Zhu Yuan.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Zhu Yuan took Bai Zhi's ID card, then took out the police device, swiped it, and some information immediately appeared.

Name: Bai Zhi; Race: Rabbi; Age: 18

……

Zhu Yuan glanced at the number 18 written on the document, then looked at Bai Zhi's appearance.

"You're telling me she's 18 looking like that?"

Zhu Yuan thought to herself, speechless.

Frowning, Zhu Yuan scrolled through the information again. It showed that Bai Zhi was not a native of New Ellidou, but an immigrant from another place.

"Immigrants...?"

Zhu Yuan frowned even more. Since the Void Disaster broke out, countless cities have collapsed, including the old city of Elidu, which is also the origin of the name of the new city of Elidu.

The fall of these cities naturally created a large influx of refugees and outsiders.

Compared to the native-born New Eliduans, the information about these outsiders is much more obscure, and they are the root cause of many crimes.

But she felt it didn't quite seem like Bai Zhi was a criminal.

Having worked as a police officer for a long time, one can easily discern a person's temperament.

With just one glance, you can tell whether someone has done something illegal.

In her opinion, Bai Zhi's temperament suggests that she has been influenced by a great deal of culture.

To be precise, it's the kind of temperament that comes from an old-fashioned noble family, educated by many great teachers, with a touch of ancient charm.

Of course, this doesn't mean that criminals can't be from prestigious families, but rather that they generally don't engage in low-level activities.

This brutal method of crime did not quite meet her expectations.

"Zhu Yuan, don't just stand there, they're still waiting for your reply."

The woman in green, her eyes half-open, patted Zhu Yuan helplessly and reminded her.

"Ah, sorry, I was thinking about a case just now, so I paused. Citizen Bai Zhi, welcome to the police publicity conference in two days."

After saying that, Zhu Yuan handed the ID card in her hand to Bai Zhi.

“It’s alright, Officer Zhu Yuan. I understand how hard police officers work. I also have an elder who holds a high position and works hard and suffers every day for the well-being of the people.”

"Officer Zhu Yuan is so lost in thought, she's probably just like my elder, troubled by some troubling matters."

As Bai Zhi carefully put away her ID card, she said very considerately.

"Miss Bai Zhi, is your elder... also a government official?"

Zhu Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, yes, my elder's surname is Jing. He often tells me that the so-called credit is not his, but rather due to the unity of the entire team."

"Without these ordinary people working tirelessly at the grassroots level, he would be able to do far less."

"I think Officer Zhu Yuan must be just like my elder, surnamed Jing, said, working diligently every day on the front lines of serving the people."

"That's why I've always had respect for people like Officer Zhu Yuan."

Bai Zhi said with a smile.

"Ah... your elders are really..."

Zhu Yuan pursed her lips. She thought that Bai Zhi's elder must be a very remarkable person who could perceive the suffering of those below.

Chapter 440 Zhu Yuan, Sheriff, you didn't want this either...

“My elder has served the people for many years. He is very old and always tells me that he wants to retire and become a wandering knight.”

Bai Zhi blinked and spoke without pausing.

"Wandering swordsman, it seems that the elder of Baizhi City is also a person with a chivalrous spirit. As the saying goes, 'When the snow covers the world, why wander with a sword? If you want to talk about your heart, come up to the tavern.' Thinking of these verses, it is truly a joy to behold and a righteous cause."

"If I could, I'd really like to get to know him."

Upon hearing the term "wandering knight," the man in green standing beside him became interested.

"Senior in green robes, those wandering knights are just descriptions in ancient biographies. Doing such things in modern times is illegal!"

"You should be mindful of your status..."

Zhu Yuan whispered a reminder to Qingyi.

The so-called wandering knights-errant, as depicted in books, are chivalrous figures who act with righteous indignation and vengeance. But in the eyes of these sheriffs, aren't they just audacious madmen who use force without permission?

This kind of person needs to be arrested.

Qingyi pouted unhappily.

"Tch... Zhu Yuan, you really don't understand romance. The so-called wandering knight is definitely just a metaphorical idea. Maybe after they retire, they will continue to contribute to the grassroots and help the citizens."

"Huh, really??" Zhu Yuan scratched her head in confusion.

My senior in blue robes is good in every way, except that he is sometimes too slick and lazy, and likes to spout profound words and poems.

Moreover, she always felt that the wandering knights mentioned in Bai Zhi's words were not the kind of symbolic meaning that Senior Qingyi had mentioned.

But she couldn't refute it, after all, it's modern times, there are cameras everywhere, and wandering knights and the like have long since lost their living space.

“I think the police officer in blue is right. My elder cares about the world and loves to help people. If he retires, he will probably no longer focus on macro-level issues, but will instead focus on helping those around him who need help.”

"That's really nice, sigh..."

Zhu Yuan sighed, thinking of the person in her department. Ever since the hero rescued many people from the cave, he had become very timid for some reason and started to be keen on various forms of performance.

Compared to the elder surnamed Jing mentioned by Bai Zhi, they are completely opposite.

"Although I don't know what trouble Officer Zhu Yuan is facing, everyone likes Officer Zhu Yuan because she is such a conscientious and responsible person, right, Ling?"

As Bai Zhi spoke, she glanced at Ling and gave her a meaningful look.

"Ah, that's right. I've also heard about some of Officer Zhu Yuan's work. Whether it's arresting criminals or maintaining daily order, she's highly praised by everyone."

Ling answered hastily.

"Thank you both for the compliments, it's just what we should do..."

Suddenly, Zhu Yuan pressed the intercom to her ear, her demeanor instantly shifting from slightly gentle to capable. "Center, please speak!"

"What? Criminals are fleeing towards my location. Do I need to be around there immediately?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll get started right away!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuan pressed the communicator, adjusted her weapon, and then gently reminded Bai Zhi and Ling:

“Two citizens, there is a vicious criminal roaming around here. You would better find a safe place to hide.”

"No problem, Officer Zhu Yuan, we will ensure our safety."

"Alright, Senior Qingyi, let's go."

With that, Zhu Yuan started running towards the main road.
