Chapter 001: Business Comes to the Door

Next Chapter

"I said, old man, can you hurry up?"

"What are you urging, it's not easy for a young man, are you in such a hurry to drive him away?" The old man was obviously a little unhappy, "We can't forget our roots, if it weren't for the small pit, can we easily get rid of that lawsuit?" ”

Thinking back to what happened on the spot, the old woman also felt that it was all the credit of Xiaokeng, if it wasn't for Xiaokeng's help, that lawsuit would be enough for the old couple to go to prison to spend their old age in peace.

The old man and the old woman are the landlords of Xiaokeng, Xiaokeng, formerly known as Chen Keng, is an authentic Chinese person, who wants to become an excellent detective, but the domestic detective is not very popular, raise some money, Chen Keng just stepped out of the country and came abroad alone.

California, USA, a peaceful town, this is the current foothold of Chenkeng.

The old man and the old lady are also Chinese, who went abroad earlier, and now they are settled in California and have their own careers. People always have glory and loneliness, in their later years, the old couple is so old that they can only barely survive by collecting rent, and their children are not filial, even if they did not come to visit the two old people in the lawsuit back then, they still relied on a domestic compatriot to get revenge.

That compatriot in China is Chen Keng.

The old man's words made the old woman fall into deep thought, and the hand placed by the door did not move for a long time.

After a long time, the old woman withdrew her hand, "Let's go!" When people are old, they are easy to be confused, and they can't forget their roots! Walking to the old man's side, the two old figures left here step by step.

After the second elder left, Chen Keng left the door.

Knowing what the second elder was feeling, Chen Keng didn't know how to tell the second elder, and kept saying that the rent should be as much as a penny and not less, and Chen Keng didn't expect that he would fall into such a field.

According to the original plan, the successful overturning of the case should bring some fame to his detective agency, but he didn't expect that the fame did not bring, but was ridiculed by many locals.

Chen Keng can't be blamed for this matter, but Chen Keng's bad life can only be blamed.

If the case overturned a year ago did not involve the Chinese, Chen Fan's detective agency would naturally be famous, and it would be the Chinese who profited from overturning the cases that had been implemented in the United States, so it is conceivable that Chen Fan's existence will more or less cause dissatisfaction among the locals.

……

"Did you find the suspect?" Sheriff David Peders slammed a stack of documents on his desk, "What's the use of raising you two rice buckets, give you three days and if you don't find anything, get me home." ”

Sheriff David Padles has always had a hot temper, and there have been six malicious injuries in a row in the town under his jurisdiction in half a year, and there is still no clue, how can he not annoy David Padles.

Wayne Wildale and Jason Chath are both minor police officers, the police officers in charge of this case, and a lot of things are on their heads, especially in the last two months, the two of them are even more busy, and even then there is still no clue to be found.

The sheriff had already said that there were still three days left, which made the two of them look even more distressed.

Driving away from the police station, the two had to continue to look for some clues, six malicious injuries occurred in half a year, it is indeed a very important matter, if this matter can not be solved as soon as possible, it will make the people in the entire Ansai town fall into panic, and no one wants to walk on the street and be stabbed inexplicably.

"Vidair, how about we go find a private detective?"

Finding a private investigator is indeed a good choice, after thinking about it and not refusing, he immediately said; "Do you know anyone, these detectives in our local area are all black, and they are all black, I'm afraid we can't afford to hire these famous detectives."

"We don't need to look for those guys who are too famous, I have a decent detective near my house, and the fees are not as expensive as those guys."

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Chass was somewhat unconvinced by Videlle's words.

"Now is not the time to joke, you think I'm joking? When you meet that person, you'll know if it's a joke or not. ”

Without further ado, the two drove directly and quickly to a place.

At the end of Weir Street, fifty meters to the south, there is a private detective agency, which is called; Detectivepit (Chinese abbreviation; Detective Pit), this is Chen Keng's private detective agency.

The location of the central street Chen Keng can't afford to pay the expensive rent, and it is barely enough to have a place to settle down in this remote location, and the rent has been in arrears until now.

At noon, Chen Keng had to worry about lunch.

Now there is not much money left, and there are about ten days before the visa expires, which also indicates that Chen Keng must return to China, in these last ten days, Chen Keng hopes to have a single business to come to his door, and he does not have to chew bread every day to satisfy his hunger. Even if he came to an errand without any salary, Chen Keng was willing to investigate.

Chen Keng was still chewing bread and drinking boiled water, when the door of the façade was pushed open, and two police officers, Vidale and Chasi, walked towards Chen Keng step by step. Seeing the arrival of the two police officers, Chen Keng hurriedly put down the food in his hand and walked quickly to meet him, "Two police officers, are you here?" ”

“YouareChenKeng? (You are Chen Keng)"

The English Chen Keng can still understand, so he responds; “Yes。”

"We came to you because we wanted to entrust Mr. Chen with something, I don't know if Mr. Chen has time, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"

"No problem."

Regardless of whether he is a police officer or not, Chen Keng will not refuse, the police must have something important to entrust to him, and it is likely that he will trouble himself when he encounters something that cannot be solved.

The market of private detectives, Chen Keng still understands a little. Those local private detectives are darker than the other, not so easy to invite, compared to those black detectives, they are not called cheap.

Following the two police officers, the three of them came directly to a Chinese restaurant not far away, and asked Chen Keng, Vidale and Chasi naturally had to take care of Chen Keng.

"I'm having a treat today, Mr. Chen can eat whatever he wants." Vidale handed the menu to Chen Keng.

This Chinese restaurant, Chen Keng is also familiar, when he first came to this place, Chen Keng mostly dined here. With limited funds, Chen Keng rarely comes here. The boss here is also a Chinese who is familiar with Chen Keng, and when he saw that the person who came was Chen Keng, he walked up in person.

"Xiao Chen, you haven't been here for a few days."

"Recently, some things have been too busy to leave, and I can't help it." Looking for a good excuse for himself, Chen Keng said to the boss who had not been seen for a long time; "We will have a chance to talk again in the future, please trouble Brother Zhang as usual, come to three copies."

After saying goodbye to Brother Zhang, Chen Keng looked at Vidale and Chasi and said; "Two police officers, are Sichuan fried noodles okay?"

"No problem, according to Mr. Chen's meaning, let's also try the taste of this Sichuan fried sauce noodles." Verdale finished with a smile on his face, and Chasi was also smiling.

The two were still summing up just now, afraid that Chen Keng would order too much. In this part of the United States, Chinese restaurants are much more expensive than ordinary Western restaurants, and both of them are small police officers, but they can't stand the toss of Chen Keng. Chen Keng's thriftiness made the two police officers feel good, and red wine was also sold in Chinese restaurants, so it was natural to have a bottle of red wine out of decency.

After a full meal, this is the official entry into the topic.

"I believe that Mr. Chen can probably guess something, and the purpose of our search for Mr. Chen this time is to hope that Mr. Chen can help us solve a case."

Things were really as Chen Keng had guessed, and without moving, Chen Keng said in a low voice; "What kind of case is it?"

"This case is a bit abnormal, for half a year, almost every month, someone has been stabbed, I believe Mr. Chen should have heard of this."
