A month later.

In the meantime, Jessica resigned.

The profession of a mover is a hard job, and although she has the strength, it is not her ideal.

Her ideal is the same as what she said to Ivan before, that is, to be a detective, accept all kinds of commissions, and be a hero when she is bored.

Ivan was helpless, he didn't know if Jessica really belonged to the detective material, and Jessica took out several detective novels to explain to Ivan.

"I'm a woman who has read more than a dozen crime-solving novels! I've learned everything in it! No problem! ”

Ivan only smiled wryly at this, which is a bit like someone watching the complete works of Conan... Then he said that he knew more than 600 ways to kill, was proficient in more than 200 methods of murder in a closed room, knew hundreds of poisons, and made all kinds of alibi...

Everyone has ideals, and Ivan didn't want to pour cold water on her, so he let her go.

Then Jessica rented a cheap house in the Clinton borough and opened a detective agency, which she said was chaotic and the easiest place to get commissions.

Ivan knew that there were many gangs in that place, and the law and order was not good, and Jessica was clearly not safe as a detective in that place.

Anyway, the summer vacation is almost over, and Ivan decides to go there and play with Jessica for a while to see what Jessica's so-called detective is like.

On 39th Street in the Clinton Borough District, Jessica's office was named by her: 'Jones Detective Agency'.

The office was huge, with three rooms in addition to the antechamber, one for Ivan and Jessica.

In the first few days of their arrival, the office was unattended, and Jessica and Ivan were idle.

So Ivan bought an arcade game console and a pool table, and put these two things in the office, which was still a little empty, immediately looked more stylish.

Jessica is so happy, the two play billiards every day, play arcade games, and live a life that has nothing to do with detectives.

Every day when I am hungry, I go to a nearby restaurant, I have to say that the street is not very safe, sometimes Ivan walks on the way to the burger restaurant and sees people fighting on the street.

The day is early.

Ivan woke up to wash up and brush his teeth when he heard a knock on the office door.

Oh? Jessica is getting her first client?

With that in mind, Ivan went and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a white man in a purple suit, about twenty years old.

Purple clothes, purple ties, purple breeches.

He bared his white teeth and greeted Ivan with a smile.

"Hi, hello, I heard that this is a new detective agency, right?"

"Well, yes."

Jessica should still be asleep in her room, in fact no one expected to be approached today, and she would have gotten up early if she knew.

"I'm Kevin, Kevin Thompson." He introduced himself.

"Well, is there a commission?"

"But I heard this is a chick who drove it? Is the information wrong? ”

"What are you here for?"

"Okay, let me go in and talk." Kevin laughed.

Once inside, the two sat cross-legged at a low Japanese table, and Kevin kept his smile on his face.

"Actually, I took this job, originally to pick up girls by the way, but I didn't expect you to be a man." Kevin said.

"If you're for this, then don't send it."

"Don't don't, except for pickling girls, I actually have something to do." Kevin said hurriedly.

"You can tell me about your commission first." Ivan said lightly.

"What do I have to call you?"

"Ivan Jones."

"Okay, Mr. Jones, I'll get to the point, and the point is that I'm not here to commission anything, and I'm not the client you imagined."

"And you're here for trouble?"

Ivan didn't have a good impression of the man in front of him, and his grinning appearance didn't look like a serious resident.

He thought the man might have something to do with the gang.

"On the contrary, I'm not here to find trouble, I'm here to help you avoid it." Kevin smiled.

Ivan didn't speak, just played with the dice on the low table, and he waited for Kevin's next step.

"You also know that the law and order here is very poor, there are gangs everywhere, and it is very unsafe for you to open an office here, and you may be smashed at any time."

"So what to do? Pay you? Do you protect me? Ivan said casually.

As soon as Ivan saw Kevin say this, he knew that this was a gang asking for protection money.

"Mr. Jones is a smart man, he thinks about the same, I am doing things for Kim, and Kim's status in the Clinton Borough does not need me to say that you also understand, all you have to do is to provide a small amount of money to Kim, and you can be asylum within a month."

After Kevin finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Other gangs don't dare to touch you during this period, if there is, we will provide you with protection." ”

"If you don't need protection, you don't have to pay protection money." Ivan said lightly.

"Look at you, saying such unrealistic things with a blank face, Mr. Jones, do you have any background? Tell me about it. Kevin smiled at Ivan.

"To talk about the background... I'm still a student, and I'm just here for fun during the summer vacation. ”

"So you're just a student, oh~ Then I'll understand, so it makes sense that you don't have much knowledge."

As he said this, Kevin suddenly reached out and snatched the dice from Ivan's fingertips.

He stared at the dice and flicked them up, which rolled several times in mid-air before falling onto the table.

Exactly six o'clock.

He looked at Ivan with a sneer: "Five thousand dollars, make sure you spend the first month here safely, otherwise be ready to clean up your mess." ”

This is already a naked threat.

In the face of the threat, Ivan's expression did not change in the slightest, and teased.

"I have a proposal, Jin and pay me $50,000 a month for protection, how about I protect him?"

'Poof! ’

Kevin laughed at these words: "Look at you, weak and powerless little hands like a woman, who can you protect with such a hand clenched into a fist?" I can even get you to throw a punch. ”

Kevin stood up, lifted his pants and looked down at Ivan: "Young is ignorant, but you are a little ignorant too much, remember this for me!" ”

With a 'bang', he raised and kicked the low table, which flipped and smashed into Ivan's face, only to be grabbed by a hand ten centimeters from Ivan's cheek.

It's Jessica's hand.

At this moment, Jessica was wearing a pair of pajamas, and she put the table back on the ground smoothly, looking up at Kevin coldly.

"What do you want to do to Van?"

"Yo, sure enough, there's a girl, there's nothing wrong with the intelligence..."

Kevin tidied up his shirt and said with a smile: "It's not bad, let me introduce myself, my name is Kevin Thompson, and..."

His smile grew more sinister as he stared at Jessica and said, "They all call me 'Purple Man'. ”
