Chapter 2: Suicide
The sun is just right outside the police station, Qingzhou is located in the south, and summer has always been earlier than in the north, but now it is only the beginning of May, and the sun at half past ten in the morning is already a little scorching.
Fu Yuan set up a small pergola in front of his eyebrow bone, took out his mobile phone in this shadow, and originally wanted to click into the taxi app, but his fingers almost clicked into the weather forecast. Well, today's highest temperature is 32 degrees, and now it's 29 degrees, and she is already stuffy in this heavy fattened sportswear, how did the eccentric man just now make himself wrapped like a mummy and not sweat at all?
The strangest thing is that the people next to her don't seem to be aware of it, although she has been more sensitive since she was a child, but they are not dull to this point, right? I feel that as long as I stay in the same room with this man, I don't need to turn on the air conditioner in summer.
Fu Yuan got into the taxi with an inexplicable face, and just said to the master, "Go to the third middle school", the mobile phone suddenly rang.
A roaring male voice said: "Xiaofu, the cram school has been postponed in advance, you hurry back and come back with a big order!" didn't explain what the specific situation was, and before Fu Yuan could speak, the other party hung up the phone again.
She shook her head, and had to ask the taxi driver to turn around and drive back to the direction of the company, and the latter said more: "Little girl, what are you doing in that place on the weekend? It's very chaotic at night, and in the middle of the day, you have to be careful with a girl's family~"
Fu Yuan didn't have the heart to talk, only thanked twice, so that the car was very quiet all the way, and only the car radio broadcast negative social news in the sound of the electric current.
“…… At about 9 o'clock in the evening, a residential explosion occurred in Nancheng District, which was suspected to be due to the aging of the gas pipeline...... In the early hours of the morning, a woman was found to have committed suicide by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills at home...... A rear-end collision occurred on the XX section of the Ring Expressway, resulting in one death and two injuries......"
Listening to this news broadcast of deaths and injuries at every turn, Fu Yuan couldn't help but yawn a little.
Big order, there shouldn't be any big case of a dead man, right?
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head, feeling that her thought was too funny.
Although she joined this small consulting company with the brand of a detective agency for a few days, she has already found out most of the cases since its opening, most of which are marriage investigations and property investigations, in short, they are to catch mistresses and make money. This kind of so-called junior detective is the lowest level in the private detective world, and it is not even as good as those commercial investigation companies that deal with the public, let alone get involved in any criminal cases.
So, she must be thinking too much.
Fu Yuan got off the bus at the junction of Nancheng District and Longquan District. When paying, the taxi driver couldn't help but look at her twice, with some worry on his face. Actually, I don't blame this uncle for being so worried, it's only that Fu Yuan's current boss Mei Fang is too picky, in order to save rent, he chose such a place at the junction of urban and rural areas to work, so that she who lives in the north of the city has to spend a long time on traffic every day.
The name of Longquan District sounds very atmospheric, and the scope of the jurisdiction is not small, but a few years ago, it was only a wilderness, and the largest town in this area was called Longquan Town. In recent years, there have been a lot of commercial real estate projects, but they still can't be compared with the old city, and the security situation is relatively complicated.
And where Fu Yuan now works, next to these new high-rise buildings, in the low, dilapidated, boxy, four-story small white building that looks like a nineties architectural style.
Although Fu Yuan had short legs, he climbed the stairs quickly and walked towards the small office in a hurry. When I pushed the door open, I knocked the wooden sign of "Happy Detective Agency" that was hanging crooked because I was too hasty.
"Boss, what kind of big order is it that you are in such a hurry to call me back? I paid the money at the cram school, and it will cost 200 yuan if I don't go to a class......
Her voice plummeted as she spoke, only to discover that a saber-rattling accusation was being staged in the room.
“…… I'll let you be nosy, have you heard? Our working principle is that everything is based on the interests of the client, and you remember it in the dog's belly? That local tyrant married someone and died, and her husband's daughter couldn't get a share of the family property, that was his family's business, and it was your business? Why do you have to get involved? Even if you are targeted, what will happen to the studio's business in the month you run away? Ah? You are responsible for the losses caused? If you hadn't pulled back a big order this time, Lao Tzu would definitely deduct all your three months' salary and commissions......
A middle-aged man in sunglasses crossed his waist and scolded the curly-haired young man in front of him who was sitting on a chair but still had a heavy camera around his neck.
Fu Yuan reflexively cast a puzzled look at Yuan Xin, the boy with a round face next to him.
Yuan Xin quietly leaned over and bit Fu Yuan's ear: "This is the wall brother you haven't seen~ Tsk, I estimate that my uncle can scold him for a whole year for this, but it's no wonder that my uncle." Let me tell you, Brother Bi has fallen for other people's beauty schemes, the daughter of the king of leather shoes is really amazing, I have seen real people, no worse than many female stars. It's a pity that their family fought too fiercely, and everything was mixed in, causing Brother Bi to hide in the mountains and feed mosquitoes for half a month~"
Fu Yuan thought thoughtfully, touched the open bag of potato chips on the table with one hand, and whispered: "If he hadn't run away, I guess I wouldn't have been able to get here." So, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing~"
Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart. Yuan Xin raised the vigilance level in his heart.
Maybe Fu Yuan came back, or maybe it was because he was tired of scolding, Mei Fang finally stopped the posture of "pointing the country", and announced the latest work arrangement with a serious face.
"Xiao Fu, the woman who is running fast must keep in shape and eat less puffed food! That, you and Lao Duan are in charge of the new case together, it just so happens that you have not been here for a long time, and the two of you have not run in yet, take this opportunity to get in touch with each other and learn from each other. Oh yes, the cram school mess, well, let Yuan Xin go, this little cub has pimples on his face, and he should be quite similar to a high school student. ”
Mei Fang made the final decision, Yuan Xin didn't know whether he was happy or worried, but Duan Biren frowned.
As soon as Fu Yuan entered the door, he noticed it. He knew that there was a newcomer in the society, and he was still a woman, but he never expected that the other party would be so ...... Although it was a disguise for the purpose of investigation, who would believe that she was an adult?
"Can she?" he glanced at Fu Yuan's dress, his unfamiliar eyes mixed with suspicion and a hint of imperceptible contempt.
Fu Yuan wiped his hands with a tissue, helped the bulky glasses frame, and said slowly: "Okay, won't you know it in a while? If you don't have confidence in yourself and are afraid of being compared to me, you can go back to the mountains to continue your vacation." ”
The mosquito bag on Duan Biren's body suddenly itched again, and he couldn't help but cast an angry look at Yuan Xin, who didn't open the door.
Seeing this, Mei Fang hurriedly played a round: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, didn't the client ask you to go to their company today? ”
Fu Yuan looked helpless: "Boss, you haven't told me what the specific commission is? The divorce case of a business predator, or is it a secret investigation partner or something?"
Mei Fang said with a complicated expression: "It's the female star who has been very popular on the Internet recently, called Song or something, committed suicide, and the person is gone." Now her agent is not going to sue, so he commissioned us to investigate the source of that, uh, that video......"
Yuan Xin, who didn't know why and never watched entertainment gossip, was confused when he heard it next to him. Although he was not held responsible for this case, he was still quite curious, and he was more like a cat scratching when Mei Fang said it in such a fog.
"Song Jie, nude photos, indecent videos?" Fu Yuan asked coldly.
Mei Fang was a little embarrassed, "Oh, you all know, that's the way it is." Ms. Song's agent said she had a nervous breakdown after the video and photos went viral. Didn't she happen to be a native of our Qingzhou, so she was sent back for recuperation, wanting to relax, but she didn't expect to go to the step of suicide. Hey, in short, this tragedy is inseparable from the person who uploaded it to the Internet. Starlight is already preparing for a lawsuit, but we still need help finding the uploader. ”
Duan Biren added in a timely manner: "Xingguang said that if we can find out the culprit, not only will we give a guaranteed commission, but we can also drink some soup with the compensation we get after winning the lawsuit~"
When Mei Fang heard this, his smile became even kinder, but two seconds later, he immediately "turned his face and ruthlessly" drove the two of them out to work.
Although Qingzhou is a second-tier city, or a quasi-first-tier city, it is very close to Haicheng, the entertainment capital, but it is just over an hour's drive, and Starlight's base camp is just in Haicheng.
Because Mei Fang is an iron rooster, he refuses to buy a car for public use, and he is still a divorced old iron rooster, and he regards his car as more important than his wife, so it is naturally impossible to borrow it. As a result, Fu Yuan and Duan Biren could only take the city rail to Haicheng.
The two met for the first time today, but they saw that each other had a bit of a nose and was not a nose, and they were not interested in chatting and cultivating friendship.
On the way, Fu Yuan has been swiping Song Jie's related webpages on his mobile phone, and has also found a lot of true and false revelations and insider stories, especially after the official confirmation that Song Jie has died of ineffective treatment, the number and popularity of such posts and Weibo have reached a terrible peak.
It wasn't until he was standing downstairs at Starlight that Fu Yuan suddenly asked: "By the way, isn't this kind of commission usually directly approached by the boss? How could it find you? As far as I know, in the past few years that you have been in the studio, the cases you have been responsible for don't seem to be very related to the entertainment industry, right?"
Duan Biren glanced at her and didn't answer.
At the front desk on the first floor of Starlight, Fu Yuan noticed that when Duan Biren mentioned that he was looking for Song Jie's agent Yang Danqiong, the sweet smile of the girl at the front desk had a crack in a short 0.5 seconds. The other receptionist, and the person closest to them, also cast an inexplicable glance at them.
She couldn't help but be a little funny, this strange expression mixed with shock and embarrassment, it seemed that the word "Song Jie" was even more impactful than the school uniform on her body?
When I got on the elevator, I happened to meet a small number of people, except for the two of them, there were only two young girls, with exquisite makeup, and when they were dressed up, they looked like they were only in their early twenties.
Fu Yuan didn't talk to Duan Biren very much, and he also distanced himself, and the two of them were dressed in different styles, and they didn't look like they were in the same group at all. Perhaps because of this, the other two girls' "whispers" were also unscrupulous.
“…… Did you hear that? That Song Jie actually died? I thought it was a deliberate fake suicide to win the sympathy of public opinion, who knows if it's true, oh my God......
"I've known for a long time, it's been rumored in the group~ Speaking of which, I also worked with her in a play before, when she was a woman, I was a little dragon. But there's nothing to say, who let us have no one to let go, which big boss to catch up......"
"Who doesn't know about her, those photos are estimated to have hundreds of millions of views, even if she dies, she can't change this fact......"
