Chapter II: Entrustment

"Didn't we say that we would never be thieves again?" Molissa pouted her small spout, which was close to hanging the teapot, and threw a black leather coat with obvious burn marks on the edges and a charred and tattered metal box in front of Shak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Uh...... This is actually not a thief, at most it can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor...... It's all stolen money. Under Molissa's clear sapphire-like eyes, Shak avoided his gaze a little abruptly, but added helplessly in his heart, "Especially the robbery that almost didn't even get the cost back, this is really too much of a failure." ”

Some people think that theft and robbery are non-existent transactions, but in fact, if you want to get enough returns, then you can't invest too little. For example, the purchase of equipment, such as the collection of intelligence, such as the rental of vehicles, and so on. It all costs money.

Considering the difficulty of selling stolen goods in an unfamiliar environment, Xia Ke specially chose the box containing cash last night, but who knew that in the chaos, he was swept by a stray bullet, and the banknotes in the box were ignited at the same time. Shak was only concerned about evacuating the scene at that time, and did not care, and when he came to his senses, most of the boxes of banknotes were burned.

The rest of the money, minus costs, has a slight surplus. But when you add in the risks you had to take against two heavily armed professional killers, it's a bit more than worth the loss. This made Shak, who had always been budget-conscious, feel very annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that the beast named "Poverty" was about to bite his ass, maybe he wouldn't have had to fight so hard. He thought.

Molissa is a simple, kind girl, which Shaq knew well when she was rescued from human trafficker Quinn. Perhaps it was because of her that Shak finally made up his mind to be a good person, at least a good person after discounts.

Of course, there may not be any intimate relationship between men and women, but every time he looks at her clear eyes that seem to purify the souls of others, Shak feels an indescribable pressure, and in the face of her, even the slightest kind of concealment will feel condemned from his conscience.

After persuading the little girl out of his room, Shak made himself a cup of coffee, and leaned back in his chair in boredom.

He is twenty-six years old this year, pure human blood, once studied in the most famous military school in the Republic of Kavin - Remis Academy, but unfortunately for some reason he did not get the diploma of Remis Academy, but he has also undergone a systematic education in a world-class military university, and with his extraordinary skills and qualities, he is also quite impressive in society. Over the years, I have been a mercenary, a bodyguard, and a Jiangyang thief. I have handled a lot of wealth, but due to uncontrolled spending, I don't have much savings in the end.

After meeting Molissa, due to some changes, he took the little girl to the city of Morbock, the oldest and dirtiest city in Texas, opened a detective agency, and became a free private detective.

said to be a detective, in fact, Shak has only just started, and it has been less than three months since he rented this dilapidated store. This is the main reason why he has only paid three months' rent and has not been kicked out by his landlord so far.

In the city of Morbock, it is actually very difficult for a private investigator to do, and if you want someone to hire you, you have to make your employer trust you. But when it comes to trust, this is precisely what the citizens of Morbock lack the most, and sometimes, Shack even suspects that the trust of the whole city may not be enough to hold the coffee cup he brought from Metro in front of him.

As a result, there are naturally very few people willing to hire him, so that a social elite with high IQ and good skills like him has no choice but to approach the edge of poverty...... God is pitiful, for more than two months, except for the mean old face of the landlady, Shak has not seen an outsider's face in this office for a long time.

Shaq is a man who goes with the flow, but Molissa can't. She is a member of the Eves tribe and has half elven blood, and food that is too high in industrial content can easily damage her health, so buying fresh and natural food has become an unavoidable expense for Shak.

This is the main reason why Shak would rather break his promise and take the risk of attacking the Victor Gang, one of the three gangs in Morbock City, although the end result is not satisfactory.

Drinking coffee and thinking about his thoughts, Shak's fingers tapped on the table again and again, and just as he remembered that breakfast had not yet been settled, the door of the hidden room was pushed open a crack, and Molissa's somewhat happy face appeared at the door, and brought him a nice piece of good news:

"Shak, come out quickly, a client has come to the door!"

The house they rented was only two bedrooms and one living room, with the exception of the bedroom, which was the small living room for their studio and reception room.

After changing into a pastry coat and combing his hair roughly, Xia Ke walked into the living room with a little reserve, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Of course, for men, in addition to high-brightness light bulbs and sufficient wealth, there are only rare stunning beauties.

And the woman who is sitting on the sofa in the living room at the moment is such a peerless beauty. She has a delicate face that men will never forget at a glance, and her long white gold hair is tied in a neat bun at the back of her head. A silver-gray professional skirt with a narrow waist that wraps her straight hips/body tightly. The upper body is a thin light yellow three-quarter sleeve shirt, and the neckline is very open, revealing a large/large/large piece of rich snow greasy.

Of course, it would be too vulgar to describe her beauty only in terms of figure. In fact, the most seductive look in her eyes is the queenly temperament that she reveals in her gestures. She just sat there so quietly, giving people a sense of maturity and nobility like the arrival of a queen. Like a ripe honey/peach, as long as she gently bites through the thin layer of skin wrapped on the outside, she can drip out/water.

Xia Ke's eyelids jumped, such a beauty, even with his years of experience in society, secretly gave a high score of ninety-five points, and the reason why he didn't give her a higher score against his will was probably just because of the somewhat dazzling wedding diamond ring on the other party's left ring finger.

"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Shak? Jones, the person in charge here, is there anything I can do to help you? Shak smiled kindly and gentlemanly with a very satisfied smile, then sat down across from her. At this time, Molissa also brought the freshly brewed coffee.

"My fiancé is missing, I want to ask you to help me find him!" The beautiful woman's mental state seems to be very poor, and her face seems to have been in anxiety lately, so she barely has any politeness to Shak and says what she means.

"Oh, of course, we will naturally accept the business of searching for people here, but you can calm down a little, such as tasting the coffee made by my assistant, I personally think Sasha's coffee brewing skills are quite good......" Shak smiled slightly, picked up the coffee cup in front of him and gestured to the other party, and then put it to his mouth and took a sip, "Then, how about we talk about your fiancé in detail?" ”

The blonde beauty was slightly stunned, and glanced at Xia Ke steadily, and after a while, her tense body relaxed slightly, she exhaled lightly, and also held the coffee cup in her hand, rubbing it gently, but she was not in a hurry to put it to her mouth, but looking at her eyes, it was indeed much calmer than just now.

"Thank you, the coffee tastes good......" After taking two sips of coffee, the beautiful client seemed to have completely calmed down, and a faint smile appeared on her slightly haggard / face.

"My name is Adeline? Austin, a professional manager, now works for Fret & Company. After regaining her composure, the blonde first handed over a business card, then put a file bag on the table and pushed it to Shak, "Here is the basic information of my fiancé Norman, who is the vice president in charge of sales of our company, who often travels back and forth between the city and the city of Hassanil, and basically spends a third of his time in the field every year......"

Shak listened to Adeline's narration as he opened the folder, flipping through the pages one by one. The information is quite complete, but it is only at the level of ordinary resumes, and there are naturally no things involving personal privacy, but there are several photos in it that are very clear, including formal photos in the company, pajama photos at home, and sports photos taken when playing ball with a few colleagues, with a few long hair and short hair.

Norman looks to be in his early thirties, and sitting in the position of vice president of a company at this age proves that he is still very powerful. In the photo, he looks energetic, even when he is at home, his blonde hair is very neat, although he shows a reserved smile in the photo, but it still gives people a very rigorous feeling.

According to Adeline, the exact time of the loss of contact with Norman was yesterday afternoon. At that time, Norman returned to the city on the passenger ship Michael, and when they were on board, the two used mobile phones (handheld magic energy communication machines) to talk, but after the passenger ship docked, the driver and assistant who were in charge of meeting Norman at the dock never saw Norman appear. After several unsuccessful attempts to communicate, they informed Adeline, who had no way to call Norman's number again.

"Didn't you choose to call the police? Or did you receive a ransom message similar to the kidnappers in the following day? Shak frowned, and stuffed the information in his hand back into the file bag, his memory was good, although it was not as exaggerated as memorization, but the general situation about Norman had been completely written down at this moment.

"We called the police shortly after Norman's disappearance, but since the disappearance has not lasted more than seventy-two hours, the police have not paid much attention to it......" Adeline smiled bitterly, and took the slightly cold coffee cup into the palm of her hand, "But I always feel very uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that my fiancé Norman must be in trouble, so I have been on my mobile phone since this day, but no kidnappers or anything like that have taken the initiative to contact me......"

Speaking of this, Shak noticed that Adeline's beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to talk to people were already faintly filled with tears, and the coffee cup in her hand was trembling slightly, and there were ripples on the black liquid surface.

After just a moment of silence, Adeline suddenly raised her head, stared at Shak's eyes with expectation, and said with a little excitement: "Mr. Jones, I very much hope that you will be able to take over my commission, as long as you can get my poor fiancé back safely, the remuneration is definitely not a problem...... Do you think the price of 200,000 Kaven is acceptable? ”

Two hundred thousand? The corners of Xia Ke's eyebrows unconsciously raised, and the smile on the corners of his mouth instantly became much gentler.
