Chapter 164: The Investigation of the Detective Agency in Zhongzhou City (1)
On Saturday afternoon this week, three detective agencies in Zhongzhou City also received a commission from their employers to investigate personnel.
One of them received an investigation of Chen Xiangxiang, and the contents that need to be investigated are: (1) Chen Xiangxiang's personal history and current work situation; (2) The daily activities of individuals in public places starting tomorrow shall be accompanied by photographs or video materials. (3) Check whether Chen Xiangxiang has been admitted to the hospital due to a sudden coma since last year.
The final contract price agreed by the two parties is: 1,000 yuan for item (1). (Considering that Chen Xiangxiang is also a celebrity on the Internet, the detective agency personnel have heard of her before; This is relatively easy to do. In item (2), the daily follow-up and investigation fee is 1,200 yuan; The employer makes a temporary deposit of 3 days and will continue to pay the deposit if an extension is required. (If the employer needs details of Chen Xiangxiang in private occasions, the price will be calculated separately.) (3), if the detective agency can provide a record of Chen Xiangxiang's admission to the hospital, the employer shall pay 3,000 yuan for the investigation. If the detective agency cannot find Chen Xiangxiang's admission record, regardless of the final "yes" or "no" conclusion, the employer will pay 500 yuan for the investigation.
It can be seen that there is a problem of how to define the commission in item (3), if Chen Xiangxiang does not have the situation of being admitted to the hospital for treatment, how can the detective agency convince the employer? Or Chen Xiangxiang did go to the hospital for treatment, and the detective agency did not investigate it because of the problem of personal ability, and there may be false information that the employer bought back after paying. On this item, the two parties discussed for nearly half an hour, and finally decided on the content of item (3) in the contract.
For the content required in clause (2), the detective agency is required to submit the investigation report of the day to the employer before 12 o'clock in the evening (which can be delayed in case of special circumstances) by sending the relevant electronic documents to the employer through the Internet. The other two clauses are required to be completed by January 30. The employer pays a deposit of 4,000 yuan.
From the terms of the contract issued by both parties and the careful scrutiny of the clause (3) between the two parties, it can be seen that the employer's serious and meticulous work attitude can understand that he is worried that if he encounters an irresponsible detective agency, he will only know how to collect money and not work hard to find out the truth, and then give a "negative" result casually, which may cover up the truth that he needs to investigate. Because the result of the "negative" is that there is no evidence of admission, there is no need for the detective agency to produce relevant supporting materials.
When the detective agency finally asked the employer to provide a copy of the ID card for record, the employer solemnly stated that he did not want his commission to be recorded, and the manager of the detective agency agreed to the employer's request not to provide a copy of the ID card after considering that this was a large transaction.
The manager of the detective agency did this out of desperation, and usually the employer may not want to provide a copy of the ID card for various reasons, the purpose of course is not to be found out in the future that he is investigating Chen Xiangxiang; However, if the detective agency does not truthfully keep a copy of the employer's ID card, it is definitely a violation of the regulations, and if there is a problem in the future, it will be fined at least and legally liable at worst.
But despite this risk, the average detective agency will usually accommodate the employer's request, after all, the customer is God. Today's market is oversupplied, and if the detective agency is too rigid in terms of operation, it will only push customers to other peers, which is the helplessness of survival. But if the detective agency violates the rules, the risk here can only be borne by the detective agency itself, of course, the operator of the detective agency usually has to evaluate the severity of the matter with his eyesight, like this time is to investigate Chen Xiangxiang, she can only be regarded as an ordinary public figure, so the manager of the detective agency thinks that even if something happens, there will be no big deal.
As for the detective agency chosen by the employer, it was also specially selected after consideration, not far from Chen Yong's martial arts hall, and should be familiar with this environment. Chen Xiangxiang, as a local celebrity living nearby, has also been in the limelight at the provincial and municipal sanda competitions in Zhongzhou City, so that the detective agency can easily implement the information that she works in Chen Yongwuguan, which does not need to be reminded by the employer.
This detective agency arranged for someone to follow Chen Xiangxiang from the martial arts hall back to the accommodation (Kong Xiuying's studio) that night, which can be regarded as the place where Chen Xiangxiang lives. The next morning, from the beginning of Chen Xiangxiang and Kong Xiuying's outing, the detective agency began to follow and wait all the way, and took photos of people who had contact with Chen Xiangxiang, including Chen Xiangxiang and Kong Xiuying drove Xu Ran all the way to the sheep herding base, and then Chen Xiangxiang drove Li Xin's car from the sheep herding base to the martial arts hall, and then Kong Xiuying and several people drove to pick up Chen Xiangxiang, and then sent Xu Ran home, and then Chen Xiangxiang and Kong Xiuying returned to the studio at noon, Chen Xiangxiang did not go out in the afternoon, The people of the detective agency were also dedicated and waited downstairs until the evening, recording the situation when Chen Xiangxiang went to the martial arts hall in the evening, and finally Chen Xiangxiang returned to Kong Xiuying's studio from the martial arts hall to rest.
Before 11:30 p.m. that night, the manager of the detective agency sent Chen Xiangxiang's activities on Sunday, including photos, to the employer through the Internet in the form of electronic files, and the employer immediately forwarded it to the CIA's designated email address.
The detective agency entrusted by the investigation of Kong Xiuying on Friday afternoon was entrusted with the same investigation as Chen Xiangxiang: (1) Kong Xiuying's personal resume and current work; (2) The daily public activities from tomorrow onwards are required to be accompanied by photographs or video materials. (3) Check whether Kong Xiuying has been admitted to the hospital because of a sudden coma since last year.
Although Kong Xiuying has been famous on the Internet, she is not as famous as Chen Xiangxiang; Despite the fact that the employer was a deliberately chosen detective agency, and the location was close to the place where they first became famous for the "female boxer" video, the detective agency still did not know that there was such a person.
The final agreed contract price between the parties is:
Item (1) is $1,500. (Although Kong Xiuying is also famous on the Internet, and her employer can also provide information about the fact that Kong Xiuying is running an animation website with her friends, it is quite difficult to find her person based on the information that she is running a website with others; The information on Kong Xiuying's website is the information obtained by Huang Mary during her "human flesh search". )
(2), the daily tracking and investigation fee is 1,000 yuan (this is because both parties consider that as a person who runs a website, Kong Xiuying cannot run around often, and the workload of the detective agency will be correspondingly less every day); The employer makes a temporary deposit of 3 days and will continue to pay the deposit if an extension is required. If the employer needs details of Kong Xiuying's private occasions, the price will be calculated separately.
In item (3), if the detective agency can provide a record of Kong Xiuying's admission to the hospital, the employer will pay 3,000 yuan for the investigation. If the detective agency cannot find Chen Xiangxiang's admission record, regardless of the final "yes" or "no" conclusion, the employer will pay 500 yuan for the investigation.
When the contract was finally signed, the employer did not provide a copy of the ID card here, but only paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan.
The manager of the detective agency, who received the commission to investigate Kong Xiuying, thought that the order he received a few years ago could increase bonuses and benefits for the employees, but when he reported the progress of the investigation to his employer on Sunday night, the progress made by the detective agency on this commission made him feel very sad.
