Chapter 5: I'm a Detective

The cousin nodded: "It's over, let them handle the rest." I got a better job. Let's go check it out now. ”

I regained my excitement: "Another big case?" ”

The cousin laughed: "Well, I want to pay the account!" ”

On that day, I participated in the operation as a horse boy. As for the process of asking for accounts, I don't want to talk about it, it's really not a good memory, and there is no drama, and if you talk too much, it will seem that the story is very watery. However, my cousin's enthusiasm for collecting accounts was obviously much higher than that of follow-up, after all, the profits were there: dead accounts were at least fifty-fifty points with creditors, and living accounts charged a commission of 10 to 40 percent, depending on the degree of difficulty, not counting the cost of finding the whereabouts of the debtor.

However, if you want to do this business, you must be rude and bold and thick-skinned, but unfortunately I don't take any of these things. After messing with my cousin for a while, he also felt that I was really not qualified for this type of work, so he simply specialized in the art industry and asked me to specialize in extramarital affairs. After more than two years of experience, I can now stand alone in tracking and collecting evidence.

If I am willing to do this? To be honest, I just thought it was quite fresh and exciting at first, and the relationship with my dad was very stiff at the time, and I was not happy to wait for a 9-to-5 job at home, and I was lonely and bored, so I made the decision to stay in my cousin's company. However, I have always kept this a secret from my father, and I have always been the assistant manager of the trading company at home, and my cousin let me handle the case alone for the first time, and on the day I bought some delicious food and went back to report the good news that I had been promoted from assistant to manager.

Although I don't like it after working for a long time, the freedom of private detectives and the considerable income completely restrain me. The most important thing is that they all think that the water in this industry is very deep and difficult for ordinary people to reach. In fact, its threshold is outside the door. Practitioners must have a wide range of social connections and well-connected service channels. Fortunately, my cousin has already laid the groundwork for me without reservation, as long as I am proficient in some means of tracking, secretly shooting, eavesdropping and retrieving various communication records, and then spend money to send a few spam text messages, ask someone to post a few urban psoriasis everywhere, and publish a few small advertisements in the middle of the newspaper, naturally some customers take the initiative to contact me. After all, everyone is a storybook, who hasn't had an unspeakable addiction?

As for the awesome reasoning skills in literary works and film and television dramas, I can only say this: it will naturally be better, and it will not and it does not matter. In my cousin's words: We private detectives only collect evidence, and don't care about solving cases. If you don't pack a ticket, you will definitely be able to get it. For example, if someone suspects that his wife has a little white face outside, and I spend a lot of time sneaking around and finally finds that someone is Bingqing Yujie, how should I charge this fee? If you don't pay for it, I'll call up your wife's communication records for you, and you can analyze whether she has an ambiguous chat partner according to the content, and then decide whether to continue to pay me to take a few photos of the rape in bed.

Of course, the clients who come to find the help of private investigators are definitely not all spouses who cheat or look for people, there are many strange things, and even some victims and family members of criminal cases who ask us to find the real murderer in their private name after calling the police. We don't have law enforcement powers, and the police don't allow unofficial criminal investigation activities, so when encountering such a situation, my cousin will generally refuse decisively, not to mention the risk of getting into trouble.

But since my cousin established a cooperative relationship with a professional accounting company, devoted himself to collecting arrears for several private lending institutions, traveled in Shandong, Hebei and other places for a long time and handed over the detective business to me, I became unconvinced.
