What's going on?

  I was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until later that I found out that members of the paranormal investigation team would all hold a position at the police station, which made things more convenient. It's just that my ID hadn't been issued yet at the time.

  "Come on, come on, sit down, don't be polite." The director pulled me by the hand and sat down on the sofa in his office, as if we were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

  "Da Kui, you'd better sit down too. Don't be polite with me, haha." The director noticed the relationship between Da Kui and me, and hurriedly invited Da Kui to take a seat.

  I was originally going to quit with a big show of anger and momentum, but now that the boss is being so nice and friendly, I don't have the nerve to say I'm quitting directly.

  Instead, Da Gui directly said: "Director, I want to resign."

  "Why resign? Being a police officer isn't that bad." The director patted Da Gui's shoulder and asked: "Is it because I've been too strict with my work lately? Isn't this all for the consideration of you young people? In the future, if there's anything I do that's not quite right, you can directly give me your opinion."

  "It's not because of you, I and Da Gui are preparing to start a business, that's why we resigned. Not your reason." I coughed slightly, not quite understanding why the principal was being so polite with us.

  Even if I hold the position of Deputy Commander of the Special Police Brigade, it's just an honorary title. I didn't even know about this before, so why is he being so polite to us?

  "It's a good thing for young people to start their own business. No big deal, I'll just give you a long leave of absence with pay, and your salary will still be paid as usual, and you can still work at our police station. It's not a big deal at all." The director smiled and patted my shoulder, saying: "But Captain Zhang, you're so young and already the deputy captain of the special police team. In the future, I'll have to rely on you even more."

  The director just reminded me and I slightly understood it now.

  This director is over fifty years old and must have been a seasoned veteran to get to this position. I'm only nineteen years old and already the deputy commander of the Special Police Force, which may be one of the few examples in all of China.

  Although I was hung up as a member of the paranormal event investigation team, this principal probably doesn't know and may even think I have some background.

  "Director, you're being polite. Since you've said so, then Da Gui won't be coming to work starting tomorrow?" I asked with a smile.

  He misunderstood, and I'm too lazy to explain.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing, this isn't even a big deal, you're young, just go out and make your way." The director nodded, with an air of seniority.

  I was too lazy to continue chatting with this guy, seeing that he had agreed, I didn't ask him anymore. Then I said: "Director, it's settled then, we won't bother you anymore."

  "Alright, alright, good luck! When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal, hehe." The director said with a smile.

  I turned around and left, too lazy to talk to him.

  After I left the police station with Da Gui, he asked foolishly behind me: "Why is our captain so nice today? I remember that he used to speak fiercely before."

  "This is the official scene." I suddenly realized that letting Da Gui follow me to open a ghost-catching store was actually a great idea. With Da Gui's silly personality, continuing on like this would only lead to him being played to death, belonging to the type of person who would be sold out by others and still smile at them.

  I took Da Kui out and we started strolling on the street. Renting a storefront became a problem.

  Dai Qu and I looked for a storefront opposite the Medical University for several days, but as soon as the owners heard that we wanted to rent it to open a funeral home, they refused to rent it to us at all.

  I was busy until after 7 pm, I didn't care about the storefront at all, as long as it was a storefront, even if it was just over ten square meters, and the price was negotiable, but those landlords refused to agree no matter what.

  "Crazy brother, let's just forget it, we've been searching for so long and still can't find anything." Da Gui stood beside me, holding several rental advertisements in his hand, looking dejected.

  "Alright, stop arguing, I'm annoyed too." As soon as I finished speaking, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang. I took out my mobile and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

  "Hello, who is it?" I answered the phone and asked.

  "Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Lingfeng? I heard that you want to rent a storefront, and I happen to have one available for rent." The voice on the other end was a middle-aged man, who sounded like he was in his forties.

  I was delighted as soon as I heard it and asked: "Really? Where are you? I'll come take a look at the storefront. If it's suitable, we can sign the contract right away."

  "I'm now at the pedestrian street entrance opposite the Medical University, come over and call me when you arrive." The person on the other end hung up after saying that.

  "How's it going, crazy brother?" asked Da Gui beside me.

  "Follow me." I pulled my legs and ran towards the entrance of the pedestrian street.

  Daqi and I are not far from the entrance of the pedestrian street. We ran for about five or six minutes to get here. Now the pedestrian street is quite lively, with many students from our school strolling around, giving a feeling of crowds everywhere.

  I took out my phone and dialed the number for that person. The other end picked up quickly, and he said, "I see you."

  Then he hung up the phone.

  The phone had just hung up, and I saw a man in his 40s, with a mouthful of tobacco, messy hair, wearing a pair of beach shorts, a black vest, and slippers, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking like an old rascal.

  "Hello, hello, you must be Mr. Zhang Lingfeng." This guy walked up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with me, saying: "My name is Lei Yong, I'm the one who just called you on the phone."

  This guy's voice is very magnetic, I listened to the sound and thought it was a handsome boy, but when I saw the real person, I felt that the difference between reality and imagination was quite big.

  "You, hello, I am Zhang Lingfeng." I thought he was the landlord who rented out the house in front of my door, and it wasn't very polite to say anything, so I still politely took out a cigarette and handed one over.

  Lei Yong took the cigarette and enthusiastically pulled my hand, saying: "Hey, little brother, don't be polite, come with me to see the storefront. My storefront is north-facing south, it's absolutely a great place for doing business."

  "Boss, I'm thinking of opening a mortuary." I'd better say what kind of store I want to open first. Actually, I can sign the contract for renting the storefront first and then tell the landlord what kind of store I'll be opening, but that wouldn't be very moral. It's always better to clarify things beforehand to avoid potential conflicts later on.

  "The underworld store is great, I'm not like those other rented-faced guys, I just feel pretty good." Lei Yong seems to not mind me opening the underworld store at all.

  Saying that, Lei Yong pulled me into the pedestrian street.

  Lei Yong pulled me into an alley and turned left and right, my head and Da Kui's were almost dizzy, only to see a row of doors in a small alley.
