Chapter V: Illegal Occupations

Soon, in less than half an hour, Hu Hao arrived at the gate of the community where Wang Yiyuan lived. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info took advantage of Ju Lili's free time when she went out to pick up Hu Hao, Gong Yuhuan and Hang Ping, you told Wang Yiyuan about Hu Hao's general situation without a word.

Hu Hao, a 32-year-old bachelor's degree, is Ju Lili's current and first boyfriend. He has a height of one meter seven or eight, but his weight is only more than 120 pounds, he looks a little thin, but he has an absolute star face, and he is 100% the type with a high return rate when he walks on the road.

Hu Hao's father has been a soldier all his life, and his mother has no job to take care of the family full-time, but she did not join the army but has been living in Baqing City with Hu Hao. Hu Hao's father belongs to a special forces, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, is a deputy regimental officer, due to the particularity of the unit, he often needs to lead the team to the United Nations peacekeeping force training center in Northern Europe to receive special training, even when he is in China, he does not have much time to return to Baqing City.

His father's long-term absence from home did not bring much trouble to Hu Hao, or it may be due to the inherited advantages of his father's tenacious character, he has been very sensible since he was a child, and he studied very hard, although he also went to primary school after the age of 7, but at the age of 16, he was admitted to the photo photography and editing major of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication.

Hu Hao is very talented in photography, has participated in many photography contests, and has also won many awards, so there are often some newspapers and magazines that invite him to take photos with high salaries, plus school scholarships, he never asked his family for a penny during his college life. After graduating from university, Hu Hao did not continue to study photography, but chose to study MAP (Master of Psychology), which has nothing to do with his undergraduate major, and also did not ask his family for a penny.

When Hu Hao was 21 years old, his father and his unit were sent to Kosovo in the south of the Republic of Serbia to carry out peacekeeping missions, but unfortunately died that year. After the death of his father, Hu Hao was not worried about his mother, who lived alone in his hometown, and resolutely gave up the hope of obtaining a master's degree, and dropped out of school and returned to Baqing City.

Hu Hao left all his father's pension to his mother, and then took out his savings from working during school, and together with his two friends, he rented a store and ran a photography studio with a special name: Jianwei Studio. The studio is located on the second floor of the commercial pedestrian street in Wannan District, the geographical location is very good, although the area of such a store is not large, but the price is not cheap, the monthly rent and property expenses alone are nearly 10,000 yuan.

But Hu Hao and his friends don't seem to be interested in this small shop, except for the name hanging at the door, there is no advertising, and the small shop closes for a few days every three or five days, even if people who often go shopping and pass by the neighborhood may not know that there is a photography studio there. A man whose family is not particularly wealthy rents a store in the downtown area, and the small shop is often closed, it is clear that the income from this small shop is not his main source of income.

After lunch, Hang Ping took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, so that Wang's mother could go to the community activity room early to play mahjong with the old ladies. Wang's mother has only been here for more than a week, and she has become very familiar with the aunts and aunts in the community, and now she knows more neighbors than Wang Yiyuan, who has lived here for more than 3 years. After Wang's mother went out, several young people chatted in the living room.

"Photography is just my side hustle, if someone wants to come to me, I'll shoot, and if no one comes, forget it. And my main business, I'm afraid it's not legal. Hu Hao said with a smile.

Illegal occupation? Wang Yiyuan frowned, what would be the illegal occupation that can get a high salary, could it be drug trafficking?

Wang Yiyuan has always believed that drug abuse and drug trafficking are an important reason for the deterioration of social order and the formation of a vicious circle. As soon as she saw Hu Hao's thin body, she naturally thought of drugs, and immediately felt a little rejection of Hu Hao, and vaguely handed Ju Lili a blaming look.

Ju Lili smiled and patted Hu Hao: "Just say it directly, lest she misunderstand what you really did illegally." ”

Hu Hao touched Ju Lili's head dotingly, and explained to Wang Yiyuan with a smile again: "To be precise, I am a private detective who is good at photography. At present, the profession of private detective is probably really illegal in China, but there is no clear legal clause prohibiting the establishment of private detective agencies, so strictly speaking, it is not illegal. Of course, sometimes our means of collecting evidence will play some legal sidekicks or even slightly violate it, which is also a matter of no way, in general, we are also trying to restore the truth, and the purpose is goodwill. What do you think?"

Hu Hao seemed to sense Wang Yiyuan's unnaturalness just now, and looked at Wang Yiyuan with burning eyes when he said the last sentence.

Wang Yiyuan scratched her head, a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Gong Yuhuan relieved her in time: "Can you help with this matter?"

Hu Hao didn't answer directly: "Actually, last time Lili told me about the accidents you encountered in a row, we were already a little suspicious, and I also asked Uncle Zhang about your situation, and he ......"

"Wait, who is Uncle Zhang, what does he know about me?" Wang Yiyuan was a little confused again.

"Uncle Zhang Bingkun, he said he once went to the hospital to see you. Remember?"

"Ah, it's him, how do you know him? You just said 'we' many times, is he also a private detective like you?" In fact, as soon as the words came out, Wang Yiyuan immediately regretted it. Just kidding, how could the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of a dignified city public security bureau be a private detective who acted at any time and was at risk of breaking the law? Wang Yiyuan couldn't help but feel a pang of heat on her face when she asked such a stupid question. A quick glance at everyone's faces, but fortunately none of them focused on her words.

"When I say we mean me and two other friends, we have a studio together, and we can introduce you to each other when we have the opportunity to meet you later. The Uncle Zhang I just mentioned was my father's former comrade-in-arms and always took good care of me. He was the one who told me about the investigation of the scene of the accident, and he had the same suspicions as me. However, due to insufficient evidence, the police are still characterizing the incident as a traffic hit-and-run for the time being, and now there are no new clues, and it is inconvenient for him to look for you again. That's why he suggested that we take over your business. ”

Hu Hao liked to laugh very much, but his smile turned into pain as soon as it appeared, because Ju Lili had already twisted a semicircle on his thigh. So he immediately added: "Of course, you are Lili's best friend, if I can help you, it will be my honor, this business is free!"

Ju Lili showed a smile of "this is about the same", and then affectionately grabbed Hu Hao's arm. This time, the other three leftover girls smiled.

In the afternoon, several people discussed a lot, but there was no conclusion, just agreed to get together after Wang Yiyuan removed the plaster, and then several people politely declined the invitation to have dinner at Wang Yiyuan's house when Wang's mother came back from playing cards, and left together.
