Chapter 43 The man was across the road
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment.
Because in the crowd across the road, a very eye-catching figure walked over.
Although he is only about 175 tall, he is not considered tall in the male group. But because the figure is unique to that kind of woman's slenderness, at first glance, this figure is extremely obvious.
Coupled with the slender waist branches and slender limbs, it is easy to think of those beautiful women who are engaged in the dance industry.
Such a woman, walking in the crowd, will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Of course, if these people knew that this woman's good figure was all practiced with fighting, grappling, and a slash that could lift your heavenly spirit cover, it is estimated that the eyes would not dare to be so unscrupulous.
Don't say much, across the road, Zhou Yan saw Lin Xi, and he was still pondering there.
"Didn't you say that this woman had quit her job, why did she come again? Could it be that he went home and thought about it for a night, so he came back and admitted his mistake? emmm...... It's not like this woman's character. ”
Before Zhou Yan finished thinking about it, he was a little surprised to see that Lin Xi walked to the door of a commercial shop on the side of the street, took out a key, opened the door, and walked in.
"Hey, no!" Zhou Yan seemed to immediately think of a very murderous possibility.
He looked at the shop that Lin Xi walked into, the location was actually not bad, but there were no signs, and there were no stalls around.
The mirror hadn't been wiped for a long time, and a layer of dust had fallen, apparently vacant for a long time.
So...... Lin Xi should have rented this shop.
"She's not going to open a detective agency across the road from her old club!" Zhou Yan shouted in his heart: "This temper is too short-tempered!" ”
But when I think of Lin Xi's character...... Well, she can do that.
Zhou Yan sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to cross the street and walk to the door of the store that had not opened for a long time.
At this moment, Lin Xi had already walked into the house, and Zhou Yan was at the door to peek in.
The interior of this room doesn't seem to be very large, everything in it has been emptied, and there is no decoration on the walls, and the only advantage is that the floor is laid.
In this way, if you clean it, put an office desk, and add two sofas, it seems that it is barely acceptable to be a detective agency.
"Ahem~" Zhou Yan cleared his throat, and then knocked on the door: "Hello, is there anyone?" ”
A moment later, footsteps could be heard in the house.
"I'm sorry, the owner of this shop went to another city, and now this place is ......," Lin Xi said as he walked over.
But when she saw Zhou Yan standing at the door, she was stunned.
"You...... Why are you here? Lin Xi asked in surprise.
Zhou Yan also rubbed his nose a little embarrassed: "Uh...... Passing by, I just saw you across the road, so I came over to say hello. ”
Lin Xihu looked Zhou Yan up and down suspiciously: "What's the matter?" She asked again.
Well, it seems that his pretense is not easy to use in front of Lin Xi.
"Uh...... I wanted to ask Chen Hao about that kid and the compensation. Zhou Yan hurriedly changed his direction and said nonsense.
Lin Xi stared at Zhou Yan, although he still looked suspicious, he still replied: "I'm sorry, I have already resigned, about compensation, you better go to the building across the road and ask...... As for Chen Hao......" Lin Xi hesitated: "Chen Hao has been escorted to the police station, he will get the punishment he deserves." ”
"Oh." Zhou Yan nodded, and then asked again as if surprised: "You just said that you resigned?" ”
"Yes, resigned." Lin Xi didn't want to hide his resignation at all.
Zhou Yan crossed the other party's shoulder and looked into the room: "That's ...... This shop is ......"
"I'm going to open a detective agency." Lin Xi still didn't have any nonsense at all, and replied directly, and at the same time, her eyes kept staring at Zhou Yan: "Okay, all the questions that should be asked are finished, what are you doing, tell me quickly." ”
In fact, she had already seen that Zhou Yan had something else to do when she came to her, and the previous conversation was just basic politeness in social interactions.
Zhou Yan found that the other party had already seen through him, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Well, okay, then I'll just say it...... I want to be a detective. ”
The next second-
"No way!" Lin Xi replied almost without thinking about it.
"Huh?" Zhou Yan was also stunned: "Why? You see, you're about to open a detective agency, and I'm looking for a job, isn't that a good fit? ”
"I don't know where you got the news that I wanted to open a detective agency, thank you for your kindness, but I just want to go it alone for the time being." Lin Xi said, with a rare apology in his tone: "And the most important thing is...... I can't hire someone who doesn't qualify as a detective. ”
In fact, when she first came into contact with Zhou Yan, she did doubt that this guy would be a detective. After all, in the warehouse case, the ability shown by this person is really too flavorful.
So when she investigated Chen Hao later, she also checked Zhou Yan by the way.
It turned out that this kid had nothing to do with the detective, not only that, but this person was also an out-and-out poor dick, no money, no career, and no self-motivation.
Surprised, Lin Xi could only admit that he had looked away.
And at this moment, such a street gangster pestle in front of him, saying that he wants to be a detective, isn't this wishful thinking?
He probably didn't even have the qualifications to be a detective.
"So, I'm sorry." Lin Xi said apologetically: "But you have a strong logical thinking ability, if you have the idea of becoming a detective, you can work hard in this direction, I wish you success." ”
After speaking, Lin Xi also nodded politely to Zhou Yan, indicating that he was very busy. Then he closed the door and ended the conversation.
Zhou Yan stood outside the door, very depressed.
Originally, he wanted to get some rhetoric or something, and then he would talk about it. didn't think about it, the other party seemed to know what kind of character he was.
But when you think about it, how can it be so simple to eat and drink under the nose of a detective.
Zhou Yan shrugged.
Hey, let's have breakfast first and then figure it out.
In this way, Zhou Yan came to a breakfast shop on the side of the road and simply ate something, and during this time, he also kept thinking about how to become a detective.
But in the end, I didn't come up with any good solutions.
After paying, Zhou Yan pushed open the door of the breakfast shop and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly...... Raise your eyes.
He saw the tall figure not far away.
This is really not Zhou Yan's old critic, always looking at women. It's really because Lin Xi's height is too eye-catching on the street.
And at this time, Zhou Yan happened to see Lin Xi walk into the door of the detective group opposite.
"Huh? ...... Why did she join the detective syndicate? ”
Zhou Yan was puzzled and decided to step forward to take a look.
......
Entering the hall of the detective group, Zhou Yan's first feeling was ...... The driver in the morning really didn't lie to me.
There are a lot of people in this building, in the middle of the hall, there are rows of sofa chairs, now full of people, all of whom are commissioned by appointment, and in the distance, there are more people, although it is not as noisy as the hospital train station, but it still gives people a feeling of busyness.
And in this crowd, Zhou Yan still saw Lin Xi at a glance.
He didn't take the initiative to go up and say hello, so he walked like an idiot for the time being.
Soon, Lin Xi went up to the second floor......
This is supposed to be the place where the commission is received, and the entire floor is divided into many corridors, each of which is flanked by rooms, and on the wall of the door, the name of the detective and the level of the detective are marked.
The whole floor is much quieter than below, and the rooms should be soundproofed to ensure the privacy of the client.
Standing by the stairs were two staff members. When they saw Lin Xi walking up, their faces suddenly became a little embarrassed.
In the end, a person gritted his teeth and reached out to stop Lin Xi.
"Please...... Do you have an appointment? He asked, but he lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Xi.
"......" Lin Xi frowned, looked at the person in front of him who was blocking his way, was silent for a second, ignored him, and continued to walk inside.
Unexpectedly, another person also stretched out his hand and stopped Lin Xi.
Lin ...... Sister Lin, don't be difficult for us. The man whispered.
Lin Xi turned his head coldly: "Who made you do this?" ”
"......" no one dared to respond.
"I'm just going to get my detective credentials, and I'll leave when I'm done." Lin Xi said again.
"We know...... But ......" The staff member looked extremely entangled, but his hand still did not let go.
That's when .....
"Yo~ Who is this!" A slightly shrill voice remembered, "Detective Lin?" ”
Zhou Yan heard this voice standing in the distance, and he looked in that direction.
It was a man, from Zhou Yan's first impression was that he was tall, handsome, with very white skin, meticulous hairstyle, and a suit that was definitely not an imposter......
This kind of image, in the aesthetics of the vast majority of women, must be regarded as a high-quality man.
It's just that the voice is a little sharper, and there is a mole next to the nose, which spoils the beauty of the whole face.
And this person was the one who was sitting next to the old man in the detective conference room at that time, trying to force Lin Xi to sign the guarantee.
Zhao Shengrui.
As you can tell from his name, his parents wanted him to be a learned and wise man. And he can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the second elder, after all, he can't be too stupid to engage in the profession of detective.
It's just that this kind of feminine temperament of oily head and powder, no matter how wise he is, always gives people the posture of standing on the streets and alleys in ancient times, holding a handkerchief and shouting 'Uncle is coming'.
A few years ago, he wanted to use his reputation in the detective world, as well as his face that he thought was handsome enough, to show favor to Lin Xi.
The result, of course, was a decisive rejection.
This is absolutely never something that has ever happened in his pickling career.
Actually, it's a bit bloody to say, who would have thought that a person with resources, brains, and invincible dating, would not be willing to accept even a small rejection.
Of course, Zhao Shengrui is not stupid, he hides his gloomy side very well, and this hiding is several years.
It wasn't until about a few months ago that he learned that the group wanted to use some means against Lin Xi, that he finally showed his careful thinking cautiously.
And just yesterday, he no longer cared about the glorious image on the surface, and took the initiative to stand up and handed Lin Xi the letter of commitment to serve as an archivist.
It was this report that successfully extinguished Lin Xi's last trace of nostalgia for this group.
......
Lin Xi slanted his gaze and looked at this person: "I'm not here to make trouble, I'm just here to get some of my own things." She said lightly.
"Oh, really?" Zhao Shengrui lowered his head and casually sorted out his tie: "But I'm sorry, this is not a vegetable market after all, no matter what you do, you have to go downstairs to make an appointment first." ”
As he spoke, the man deliberately turned his head sideways and looked at the crowd waiting downstairs: "Tut, look at the posture, you have to wait until the afternoon......"
Lin Xi's voice sank slightly, as if he was suppressing something: "I'm just going back to my own office......"
Lin Xi's aura is a bit big, so it has attracted a lot of attention.
And this is exactly what Zhao Shengrui hopes to see.
"Hahaha-" he hid his face and laughed, "What did you say?" Where do you still have an office! Don't forget, you're not from here anymore.
So, please have a little PR common sense and make an appointment first.
Oh, by the way, you can't cut the line!
This was the rule that was established many years ago when it was first established.
I guess your father made it.
Well, I almost forgot that your father has been missing for several years, and in a month, it seems that he will be declared legally dead...... Right.
I don't know if there was a funeral.
Even if there is...... There were no corpses either.
Hah-"
For a moment, Lin Xi's body seemed to tense.
It's hard to imagine what kind of changes a seemingly weak body can produce at the moment of tension, in short, Zhao Shengrui suddenly coaxed, his smile was held in his throat, like a duck with its neck broken.
At the same time, his body also subconsciously took a step back.
And this retreat ......
"Ahhh~" A voice that sounded a little underbeat suddenly sounded from behind Zhao Shengrui: "Why are you stepping on me~"
