Chapter V: Facts of the Case
This is the Nanlin Evening News, Li Changqing just read it before going out, and under the 'Nanlin Weekly Strange Story' on the newspaper page, there is a piece of news that is circled with a red pen.
Is it a well-intentioned distraction or is there another plan? Overnight, the cracks of the doors of 90 houses in a certain building were stuffed with julang coins......
"Manager Fang came to me because of this?" He asked, pointing to the news.
Is the crack of the door of each house stuffed with juro coins? But what does this have to do with finding your own commission?
"The incident happened three days ago, this community happened to be the business of our Lin Mei Group, and about 60 households in the building took the money, and the rest of the money was collected by a security guard patrolling the building."
"But the next day, the twelve occupants, and the security guards who took the rest of the money, began to turn black and emaciated."
While saying that, Fang Qing took out a stack of photos and put them in front of Li Changqing, Li Changqing frowned slightly, only to see that these people in the photos seemed to have been sucked away from their flesh and blood, and everyone had black skin and skinny skin.
Fang Qing competently then took out another photo and said: "After discussion and inquiry, our group learned from the mouths of these seriously ill people that the only thing they have in common is that they took away Shilang coins and spent the money. ”
"This person is the person who was found by the surveillance and secretly released the money, the matter of Li Zhen is very simple, find where he is, and the next thing, our group will handle it ourselves."
It's an easy job, just need to find someone.
The photo, which is supposed to have been taken from surveillance with a camera, is not clear, but it is faintly visible that the man who put the money is wearing a brown leather jacket, gray hair, and a hunchback.
Li Changqing asked, "Manager Fang, does this person have any other characteristics?" ”
Fang Qing picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and recalled for a moment: "He walks a little lame, and from the surveillance, I can't see more." ”
"Go back and bother to send a copy of the surveillance tape to my detective agency."
Li Changqing said, took out a standard power of attorney and said, "According to the situation you described by Manager Fang, how about 20,000 lang coins?" ”
Inside the fedora, Tang Xiaoyu's stunned voice came: "It's just to find someone, you charge 20,000 lang coins from others, my God, you're too dark!" ”
On weekdays, they look for stray dogs, or stray cats, only about 1,000 lang coins, looking for people, although the price will rise a lot, but they will not charge 20,000 yuan!
Li Changqing didn't pay attention to Tang Xiaoyu's exclamation in the hat, because this case was worth the price.
Fang Qing was not surprised to hear the offer, she nodded and said, "Money is not a problem, but Li Zhen needs you to find this person within three days." ”
Lin Mei Group has many communities and has a wide range of business in Nanlin, but because of this incident, peers in the industry have begun to prepare to make a big fuss and spend money to buy plates on the news to attack them.
If it cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Linmei Group.
With the financial resources of Lin Mei Group, he can also afford to hire many famous detectives in Nanlin City, but Fang Qing came to the door, and after asking, these big detectives all refused one by one, because this matter has already involved weirdness, and no one dares to take it easily. Later, someone recommended Li Changqing's detective agency, and it is said that this person has solved a lot of strange cases, so she came with the mentality of giving it a try.
Write the amount, the entrusted affairs, and the names of both parties on the power of attorney, and then press the fingerprint, and it will have the effect of federal law.
After signing the power of attorney, Fang Qing glanced at her watch, got up, took out four thousand lang coins from her bag, put it on the table, and said, "I will send the video to the detective agency as soon as possible, this is the deposit." ”
The deposit is the detective's rule, and after signing the commission, you need to pay 20% of the amount in advance for the preliminary investigation of the case.
Even if the investigation results are not reached, the deposit will not be refunded, after all, even if the detective fails to find out the truth of the matter, it will consume time and energy, which also needs to be paid.
Soon, a waiter walked in with a hot meal, Li Changqing ate it all unhurriedly, and ate very strongly, and after Li Changqing finished eating, Fang Qing checked out and left, obviously there was something else.
After Fang Qing left, Li Changqing casually picked up four thousand lang coins and counted them.
"It's so fragrant, let me count ...... too"
I don't know when, Tang Xiaoyu has secretly run out of the fedora, lying on the edge of the table with his hands, smelling the smell of Lang Coin with his nose, staring at Lang Coin's eyes, a proper money fan.
"Take it."
Tang Xiaoyu sat down on the side, counted the two thousand lang coins back and forth more than ten times, accepted the two thousand by himself, and handed the rest to Li Changqing: "How dare you ask for 20,000 lang coins, I was afraid that you would scare her away." ”
"This is to do things for their group, and when the time comes, they will go to the public account, and they won't let her pay out of their pockets, what is she so distressed about?"
"Besides, it makes sense for me to ask for this price, it's not that easy to get this money."
Li Changqing considered the various details of the case, and thought of the evil and crooked ways that his grandfather had told him in his previous life.
"These people are like this because they take money that they shouldn't have." Li Changqing picked up the teacup on the table.
Tang Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: "Is there anything you shouldn't take for money?" ”
"This is someone else's life money, as long as you take this money and use it, it is equivalent to selling your life to others."
"Picking up money seems to be good luck, but the gift of fate has already been marked with a price in secret."
Li Changqing recalled that after listening to his grandfather talk about this kind of evil and crooked technique, he didn't dare to touch the money on the street at all.
Just as he recalled.
Bang......
Tang Xiaoyu slapped the table angrily, with anger on his face: "If you have the ability to put the money in front of me, I can pick him up and go bankrupt!" ”
Anyway, he is a ghost, and he is not afraid to wear shoes with bare feet, can he still buy Yangshou from a ghost?
"We are only responsible for finding out who this person is, and leaving the rest to Lin Mei Group to solve by itself."
He had to be very careful about this, he knew that his abilities were limited, and although he could draw talismans, he could only heat a cappuccino.
Although this body was also unusual and belonged to the category of weirdness, he was all about how to suppress it.
When Li Changqing walked out of the Enron Hotel, it was already ten o'clock at night, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street.
I remember that it should be because two months ago, the federal amendment to the "Entertainment Act", one of the provisions is that all kinds of entertainment establishments are not allowed to operate beyond 10 o'clock.
However, there have been demonstrations in the federal capital recently to get the federal government to repeal the bill.
Li Changqing walked on the sparsely populated street, taking a leisurely walk, and he still had to walk and digest after dinner.
At this time, Tang Xiaoyu's voice came from the fedora: "Yes, the bus is about to stop, hurry up, otherwise you will have to take a taxi, and you will have to take a taxi back here for 30 yuan." ”
"What are you anxious about, even if you take a taxi, I pay for it, and it's not you."
"Watching you spend money, I also feel distressed."
“……”
This girl must be poor to death! Li Changqing swears to the sky!
Fortunately, he caught the last bus that was about to end and took Tang Xiaoyu back to the factory area where the detective was.
