Chapter 2 Unemployment?!
Yu Zhe arrived half an hour early in the second district, a few hours away from his home, and wandered under an apartment, but in fact it was still to observe the environment, which was his habit, even if it was a place he had visited countless times.
Yu Zhe's contact person always contacted him by postcard, although Yu Zhe has always felt that it is very troublesome, but for the sake of "safety" can only compromise, he has always been a little curious, whether other people in this industry are like him, but so far, he has never seen other peers except for the master who brought him into the industry, and he has not even heard of it.
Approaching three o'clock, Yu Zhe walked into a high-rise apartment, in order to avoid surveillance, he would choose to use the stairs every time, this damn contact person, actually lived on the 20th floor, and this became the reason why Yu Zhe didn't want to see his contact person at all in addition to receiving tasks and settling the final payment.
Finally, Yu Zhe climbed the twenty-story building, and "dong dong dong" knocked on the door of the contact.
No one responded
"Knock knock" Yu Zhe knocked a few more times, but there was still no response.
This was very abnormal, Yu Zhe was suddenly vigilant, he knew in his heart that something was likely to happen to the contact person at this time, and leaving quickly was his best choice, but his strong curiosity drove him to go in and have a look.
Yu Zhi has a little lockpicking skills, and it is more than enough to open the old-fashioned security door of the contact family.
A few minutes later, the door clicked open, but the contact's home was pitch black, revealing an eerie and dangerous aura.
Yu Zhe held the knife he carried with him in his hand, and carefully pushed the door open, the room was quiet and strange, the thick curtains almost blocked all the light outside the window, and only a few wisps of tenacious shone through the gap between the two curtains.
Without seeing the figure of the contact, Yu Zhe slowly moved to the other rooms, observing the surroundings by the faint light as he walked, at this moment he had already imagined thousands of possible situations in his heart, but those "bad situations" accounted for the majority.
Yu Zhe was the first to touch the location of the study, he held his breath and walked in gently.
The liaison was indeed here, but at this moment he had become stiff and cold, and his limbs were spread out and he fell to the ground.
Yu Zhe gasped, although he had expected such a situation, but when it actually happened, he still couldn't believe it.
But Yu Zhe is a killer after all, and after quickly calming down, he turned on the light in the room and carefully observed the body of the contact.
The contact's expression was very hideous, and there were three small blood holes on his forehead, apparently someone had killed him with a pistol, and the method was neat, and the body was completely stiff, probably dead for a while.
Yu Zhe's mind was a little confused, he didn't know what he was going to do next, run away, call the police, or something else, these thoughts even thought that Yu Zhe felt ridiculous.
Considering other aspects, Yu Zhe usually has to go through this liaison from receiving tasks to collecting money, but now that the liaison person is dead, what will he do in the future, where will he go, what will he do? These are also problems.
In the end, Yu Zhe decided to start from this room and investigate anyone who had a relationship with his liaison, on the one hand, to investigate who might have done all this, and on the other hand, to be a liaison, no matter what, he should also have some contact with other peers, Yu Zhe did not plan to retire, he wanted to find other contacts through his dead liaison, so as to continue his work.
Yu Zhe was suddenly a little surprised by his own thinking, he was thinking, if it was a normal person, how would he react when he encountered such a situation? In short, it wouldn't be him, he was a little too ...... calmed down, so that such an acquaintance related to him died, and he did not show any emotional fluctuations.
Yu Zhe's plan is easier said than done, he needs to extract the information he needs from a large amount of information, the first thing he thinks of is the postcard, if he himself uses this way to contact the contact, then the contact person is likely to use this method to contact others, but he found that there are nearly ten sets of postcards that have been written in the study, he tried to interpret the above information, but found that the interpretation of these sets of postcards is not the same as his, this most obvious information found but can not be used, so that Yu Zhe is distressedγ
He thought he could start with his contact history, but he had too many contacts to keep track of them, with dozens of different numbers on his phone alone, and more information in his email address that was more difficult to analyze
"Trouble is dead, trouble is dead......." Yu Zhe thought silently in his heart, and began to become a little irritable, he liked the simple way of working, the contact person handed over the details of the target to him, and then he carried it out, and now he needed to investigate the information, and he found that the process was so difficult.
In the end, Yu Zhe locked down an address in a large amount of information - No. 48, Third Street, Second District.
The source of the message was a note that was not destroyed in time, or it was a "fish that slipped through the net" and "survived" because it was too small and unnoticeable, and the final signature of the note was "Ms. Tao"
Yu Zhe had never heard of this address, so he could only try his luck with the mood of trying it out, and he quickly cleaned up the traces of his activities in the house, hesitated and walked out of the door, he thought about disposing of the body of his contact, but this is better to leave it to someone else to do, since this person is dead, it has nothing to do with him.
Half an hour later, Yu Zhe was standing outside the gate of No. 48 Third Street, an inconspicuous antique store, and just looking through the window, he could feel the clutter of the house filled with all kinds of things.
Yu Zhe walked into the store, his eyes looking around, looking for the signed "Ms. Tao".
"Welcome. β
A female voice came from not far from Yu Zhe, and after hearing the voice, behind a huge counter stacked with various handicrafts, sat an obese middle-aged woman, at this moment, she was brushing her mobile phone without raising her head, and the other hand was grabbing potato chips in the bag, and the oil stains were smeared everywhere.
Yu Zhe frowned, carefully walked through the various displays, walked to the counter and leaned over and asked.
"Ms. Tao?"
The woman raised her head in a little surprise, looked Yu Zhe in front of her up and down, thought about it, and frowned.
"How did you find me? Is it that Lu Ren can't get a job there, or that you have stiffened your wings and want to change jobs. β
"He's dead. Yu Zhe said calmly, he was a little incredulous, he actually found the right place directly, which also saved him a lot of trouble, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something and added, "You...... Know who I am?"
"Lu Ren's killers...... To be honest, you are already famous in the circle, and not only those who have some qualifications, should know you. β
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, you're famous. Ms. Tao grabbed another handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth, explaining as she chewed, "He did a poor job of keeping information there, even if it was leaked, he didn't block the news, to be honest, he is dead now, I am not surprised at all." β
"Do you know who killed him?"
"I don't know, there are too many people who want to kill him, just like now, if you can find me through his information, it proves that he leaked the news about me in a certain link, according to the rules, if he is not dead now, then he may be killed by my people tomorrow, you know what I mean, right?"
Yu Zhe nodded in understanding, while Ms. Tao added:
"I said you, since the contact person is dead, it's good to take the opportunity to retire, why bother looking for other contacts, it's really stupid. But then again, when did he say he died, and how did you find out? β
"The day before yesterday, I completed a commission in District 9, and Lu Ren asked me to go to him at three o'clock today to collect the final payment, and he had already been strangled to death when I arrived. β
"Oh, the day before yesterday, the commission ...... the ninth district" Ms. Tao's eyes rolled around, and then she sneered lightly, her long nails clicked on the glass of the counter, and she turned her head and whispered, "Lu Ren really dares to take anything...... It's no wonder that you say that......."
"What did you say?" Ms. Tao muttered to herself, but Yu Zhe didn't hear a word clearly.
"Don't care. Ms. Tao's face was full of smiles, and she was completely different from just now, "Please wait a minute." β
After saying that, Ms. Tao stood up, turned around and walked into the small door behind the counter, and waited for a long time before walking out with two cups of water in disposable paper cups.
"Tell me what you came to me for. Ms. Tao handed a glass of water to Yu Zhe, but Yu Zhe didn't plan to take it, and Ms. Tao didn't say anything, so she put the water on the counter.
"I want to keep doing it...... You ...... here" Yu Zhe also changed his respectful attitude and said cautiously.
"No, no, no, I don't accept people here. Before Yu Zhe finished speaking, Ms. Tao hurriedly refused, "There are too many people to contact under me, and it is really more difficult to contact people than you these years, taking less money and taking more risks, if I didn't get out, I would have quit a long time ago." β
"I need this job. β
"You said it was so light, if this was a legitimate deal, I would definitely accept you. Ms. Tao said with a helpless expression, "But you also know, this line of work...... Bringing one more person is not a big risk for a contact person like us, you know..... Alas, I can't explain it to you, you just need to understand the meaning. β
"Then can you introduce me to other contacts......" Yu Zhe couldn't understand what Ms. Tao said, in his impression, the work of the liaison is always easy, there is no need to do those "dirty work", just move your mouth can take away 30% of the killer's remuneration, and now Ms. Tao is talking about making less money and what is risky, which really makes him unable to understand.
"You kid, what do you like about this business, you are so persistent!" Ms. Tao was a little angry, but she quickly softened her tone, "There are too few people who are capable and willing to be liaisons now, but there are more and more people like you, so ah, it is already normal for a liaison to contact seven or eight killers at the same time, it's not that I don't want to add you, it's really impossible to add more." β
"Please help me figure it out. β
"Hey, you didn't listen to a word when you said so much....... Ms. Tao sighed, Yu Zhe's repeated requests made her feel depressed, she drank two sips of water, and continued to add, "I do know a contact, but he only helps a killer to contact, and it has been like this for nearly twenty years, I can help you ask him out, but I can't guarantee whether he will take you or not." β
"Nearly twenty years?"
"It's incredible, isn't it? But we speculate in the circle, in fact, this killer has been replaced, maybe five or six times, but there is no substantive evidence, his secret work on the killer is recognized as the best, so far no one knows the identity of the killer, not like that Lu Ren ......"
"Then when can I see him. β
"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the evening, you can come here, but you also have to be prepared for rejection, and the hope is very, very slim. β
"I see, thank you very much for your help. Without any extra politeness, Yu Zhe bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then immediately turned around and left.
When Yu Zhe walked away, Ms. Tao sighed softly: "It's a pity, this child is quite young." β
"In this line of work, there is nothing to be pitied. The voice came from the door behind Ms. Tao, and then a tall and stout man walked out of the door, "I didn't expect that I would come out to take a job and see such a wonderful performance." But what do you say, what is he?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask! You have also taken the deposit, and you know the goal, so let's go." β
"You're really ruthless!" the tall man, raising an eyebrow, continued, "Just now you came in and whispered to me, let me listen to your code, come out and kill that kid, now that the matter has been settled by you, you have turned your face and disowned." β
"Hey, look at what you said, that kid is very impulsive when he looks at it, who knows if he will do anything out of the ordinary, I also have to give myself a guarantee. Ms. Tao rolled her eyes and sneered, "You're so expensive, I can't afford to hire you, besides, now that someone wants him dead more than me, I don't need to rush to do it." β
"Then you're still pulling the strings for him? β
"What do you know...... Ms. Tao chuckled softly, "I owe him, but if the man doesn't want to save him, it has nothing to do with me, and I bet that if he is rejected, he will be dead in the streets in less than three days." β
