Chapter Seventy-Three: Accepting the Commission
"I have written all these contents on the power of attorney." Ms. Fu said with a frown.
"The power of attorney is just a kind of file, just look at it, don't take it seriously." Lin Yinzhi smiled and said, "90% of the information you see from your face and eyes is not reflected on paper. ”
"Can you see my face?" Ms. Fu looked a little surprised.
"No, I can't see it." Lin Yinzhi smiled and shook his head. "But come to think of it, Ms. Fu's expression must be very interesting now."
"If you make this kind of boring joke again, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue talking to you." Ms. Fu grabbed her handbag and her eyes stayed on Lin Yinzhi's face.
"Sorry, it's my bad habit." Lin Yinzhi sighed, took back a lewd smiling face, and said with a straight face: "This gentleman named Li Yi, I think, Ms. Fu, I can help you find him." ”
Ms. Fu hesitated for a moment and said vigilantly, "...... Why should I trust you? ”
"Hiding some key information, and then slightly polishing the evidence and testimony related to the crime, I think there should always be a few law firms that are not afraid of death who will intervene in such a power of attorney." Lin Yinzhi took Ms. Fu's power of attorney, frowned and looked at it for three seconds, and made the above conclusion.
"Huh?" Ms. Fu didn't expect the topic of this uncle to change so quickly, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the conversation at all.
"I mean, if you want to find another firm to take on this case, you will probably have a higher success rate if you do that." Lin Yinzhi looked at Ms. Fu with a smile.
"Oh." Ms. Fu stood up suddenly, grabbed her handbag and was about to leave. "Thank you."
"But even if you take over, I'm afraid that this case will eventually involve the police and the messy people, and most of them will be stopped in the end, and even if you go through the investigation, you may not be able to find anyone."
Seeing Ms. Fu walking towards the door, Lin Yinzhi deliberately raised his voice and said it in one fell swoop. Hearing this, Ms. Fu suddenly stood still and stopped moving.
"You're trying to say that only you can take this case?" Ms. Fu turned around and stared at Lin Yinzhi.
"I don't dare to say that, I'm just a little private detective." Lin Yinzhi smiled, poured the remaining hot drink at the bottom of the cup into his mouth, and said: "But I think among the detectives in Southeast Asia, the only companion who is willing to meddle in this kind of troublesome matter is probably just the role of uncle and me." ”
Lin Yinzhi showed his professional smile again.
Ms. Fu stood still, hesitated for a long time, and finally returned to her sofa, crossed her legs gracefully, and stared at Lin Yinzhi.
"Being looked at like this by a beautiful woman, uncle, I'm also a little embarrassed." Lin Yinzhi's playful tone is there, but in Ms. Fu's opinion, this uncle with a drooping face has no "embarrassed" expression at all.
Seeing that the "beauty" didn't care about herself, Lin Yinzhi seemed to have expected such a response, and she was not depressed, with a smile on her face, a pair of dry hands slapped on her leather suit, groped out a box of delicate cigarettes, and gently shook out one, and the slender cigarette stick was engraved with gold letters.
"Sorry, am I going out?" Lin Yinzhi stood up on his side, but Ms. Fu shook her head.
"You feel free." She was accustomed to such scenes, tilted her head slightly, glanced into the distance, and her swan-like stretched neck emerged from her coat.
"You've got a lot of temperament." Lin Yinzhi lit a cigarette, and a sweet smell followed the smoke cloud, and the words came out lightly for no reason, seeing that Ms. Fu didn't pay attention to herself, Lin Yinzhi continued to speak
"The first time I saw you, I felt something." Lin Yinzhi squinted, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, supported his cheeks with both hands, and looked at Ms. Fu's side face, not caring about being rude or not. "In your eyes, although I can't see your eyes, the moment I look at you, I know that you must not be an ordinary person."
Lin Yinzhi's tone was very determined, although he didn't have any clues in his hands now.
"How to guess that it's your freedom, I'll just say, it's probably all your delusion." Ms. Fu still turned her face sideways, and her eyes did not make any contact with Lin Yinzhi.
"These are the eyes of a detective." Lin Yinzhi tapped his upper eyelid with his index finger and said proudly. "I have reservations about this, but since I have this fate, I decided to help you."
Lin Yinzhi gently dusted off the ashes.
"Help me?" Hearing Lin Yinzhi's arrogant tone, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. But she decided to ask the reason first, watching this uncle's every move, for Ms. Fu, she really can't be called professional and elite.
She frowned and said, "I didn't say it, I haven't decided to entrust it to you yet." ”
"You will." Lin Yinzhi's eyes seemed to have magic power.
"You're also a private investigator." Ms. Fu avoided the sharpness in Lin Yinzhi's eyes. "I'm curious, if I tell you that Li Yi is now involved in an important case, or even a major criminal case, you will still accept my commission."
"Ms. Fu, don't you want an uncle like me to take over this?" Lin Yinzhi asked indifferently.
"That's not true, it's just that I don't know where the others are now, what kind of trouble they are in, and even if there is such a possibility, it is not surprising."
"Oh." Lin Yinzhi narrowed his eyes, he tried to get some information from the customer's expression, but was completely blocked. In desperation, Lin Yinzhi had to sigh. "Is this your emotional speculation, or is it an educated reasoning?"
"I'm not a detective." Her answer was succinct and there were no superfluous words.
"I'm just curious, Mr. Lin as a private detective." After a while, she couldn't hold back, and continued to talk, inadvertently, her eyes glanced at the building not far away, and it was only half an hour before she ate this closed door. "Shouldn't you be as shy away from this kind of trouble as your colleagues?"
"Is this general?" Lin Yinzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly. "But in the future, they're not my colleagues."
Lin Yinzhi pointed to Ms. Fu's hand, his business card. She looked carefully over and over again, only to find that there was a line of small print on the back of the business card, which read: Lin Yinzhi's detective agency.
"I run alone, the boss, the director, the clerk, and the agent are all by myself." Lin Yinzhi looked at her and nodded, as if to affirm her speculation.
"The so-called detectives probably have such a sense of smell, but it has not been a climate recently." Lin Yinzhi smoked quickly, and a cigarette eye saw the end, he pressed it out vigorously, and then pulled out another one, and his tone was still steady. "Shouldn't the so-called detectives pounce on such troubles like moths? Thinking about the advantages and avoiding the disadvantages all day long, leaving the danger to the customers themselves, this kind of Zhentai is really boring. ”
Lin Yinzhi shook his head.
"I came to be a detective because of excitement." He smiled, his face twisted into folded paper, and lit a cigarette.
Ms. Fu looked the middle-aged uncle up and down again, and couldn't help but wonder.
"That's old-fashioned."
"No way." Lin Yinzhi let out a long breath, and smoke came out of the corners of his mouth.
"After all, I'm just an old uncle."
Ms. Fu gasped and gracefully raised her teacup.
"Can I understand that this is an occupational disease?"
"It's up to you to imagine." Lin Yinzhi did not affirm or deny it.
"How sure are you?"
"I can't tell." Lin Yinzhi shook his head. "It's like finding an exit in a fog, and from an old detective's intuition, I'm 100 percent sure I'm going to find the exit."
Lin Yin took an unhurried puff of cigarette.
"But from the specific operation, it's hard to say."
Ms. Fu bit her lip, leaving a tooth mark on the corner of her apricot-red mouth.
"I hope you won't let me down, Mr. Lin...... You can only withdraw as much as you need, and give me an account. I will put half of the deposit upfront into your account. ”
"Ah, don't bother, since you agree, then things will be easy." Lin Yinzhi waved his hand, stood up with his hands behind his waist, and walked out.
"The drink is good, it should be regarded as an advance payment, and when the matter is done, please ask me to have a drink, and see your true face Ms. Fu."
After saying this, Ms. Fu was stunned and froze in place, and Lin Yinzhi didn't care about it, and disappeared from outside the café. She hurried out the door, and the figure of the uncle had disappeared into the crowd as if it had never appeared.
This simply does not give her the slightest room for opposition.
Ms. Fu lowered her eyebrows, took off her sunglasses angrily, and the business card she clenched tightly in her hand was ravaged by her.
Lin Yinzhi extinguished the cigarette, scratched his head with a few hairs left, and his face was full of tiredness, these days have not been good for him, from the perspective of the body alone, I don't know how many years I haven't investigated a case in such depth.
The matter, of course, is the disappearance case entrusted by Ms. Fu. But Lin Yinzhi didn't think so, just judging from the situation described by Ms. Fu from the public phone, this matter was full of suspicious flavor.
But mentally, Lin Yinzhi really hasn't experienced this thrilling feeling for too long. At night, his small apartment was on the edge of the city, and at nine o'clock in the evening, there were hardly any lights nearby, and occasionally some diffused lights were also the lights of the ships that shone here from the distant sea.
The focus of Lin Yinzhi's attention was locked on the identity of Li Yi from the beginning.
Ms. Fu didn't reveal much information to Lin Yinzhi, although it was not too difficult to find Li Yi's relevant information, but it took a lot of effort, Lin Yinzhi saw from this person's resume that it was unlikely that he was simply involved in any incident.
To this end, Lin Yinzhi specially drew up an action map and timetable, he hardly rested for several nights in a row, and kept planning these routes, circled the key points with a red pen, and finally Lin Yinzhi realized something unbelievable.
"Do things have to go back to the original events?" Lin Yinzhi felt nonsensical about his reasoning.
"Fleeing from the interior and missing in this area. Is it really just missing? Lin Yinzhi muttered to herself, while thinking about the key to this, Ms. Fu didn't seem to have much information, although she didn't necessarily tell herself everything, but Lin Yinzhi judged that she was indeed anxious now.
In this case, Li Yi's whereabouts may not be unknown.
Lin Yinzhi drew a large circle on an island.
"He made a big labyrinth." Lin Yinzhi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
