Chapter 1: The Rich Woman

Next Chapter

Patches of bizarre images once again encroached on the dream realm of the Fifth Tomb, and when he woke up, a strange silver brilliance flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously glanced around at his small house, the furnishings in the room were extremely simple, but the strange thing was that there was a large mirror two meters high hanging on the wall in the center of the room. After the fifth tomb settled down, he suddenly raised his middle finger at the mirror, then quickly got up to take a shower and change clothes, and then kicked his antique bicycle that was about to fall apart and went out.

Fifth Tomb opened a private detective agency in the magic capital of Shanghai, although it is not big, but it can be regarded as its own all-asset business. At half past nine in the morning, he came to the 39th floor of Wangjiang Building in Pudong New Area, the Fifth Detective Agency. Although the space is not too large, the location is excellent, with a view of the Huangpu River and many of Shanghai's landmarks, such as the Oriental Pearl and the World Financial Center.

Speaking of this strategically located office, its high monthly rent and expenses are indeed beyond the reach of a small workshop like the Fifth Tomb. In fact, the detective agency used to be opened in a dilapidated house in Jiading, and the reason why he was able to move here was to mention a woman, a mature, bewitching and golden woman.

It all started a month ago, when the weather was a bit dreary that afternoon, the sky was dark and oppressive, and the occasional thunderclap signaled a heavy rain to come. The fifth tomb stood at the window and looked outside, and secretly said that he could finish work early today, after all, even if it is usually a good weather, it is rare to have guests come to the door. He picked up the things on the table and was about to close the door and go home, when there was a sudden and regular knock on the door. The Fifth Tomb subconsciously glanced at the door, but this glance made him stand on the spot.

I saw a graceful figure at the door also staring up and down the Fifth Tomb, with an undisguised doubt on a beautiful face. Then he looked at the cramped and cramped environment of the detective's society, and there was a little more disgust and disappointment on his face.

At this time, the Fifth Tomb also came back to his senses, and after seeing the look on the woman's face, he secretly said that he couldn't let you run away. He coughed lightly and asked with a calm face, "This is the Fifth Detective Agency, can I help you?" ”

The woman looked down at the business card in her hand, then looked at the Fifth Tomb and said, "Is this business card yours?" ”

The Fifth Tomb glanced at the silver-white-black-edged business card and nodded, "Yes, come in and talk about it!" ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, and the secret passage is coming, so let's go in and take a look! Thinking of this, the woman walked in slowly. After the Fifth Tomb invited the woman to sit down, he wanted to pour her a cup of tea, but after looking at the luxury goods of the woman, he dispelled this idea. After all, I don't have any good tea here, so I can usually deal with a few sips.

After the Fifth Tomb sat down, he said straight to the point: "Hello, I am the president of the Detective Agency, Fifth Tomb, may I ask if you need me to do anything?" ”

The woman sat on the sofa, naturally cocked her slender legs, took out a box of foreign brands of high-end ladies' cigarettes from her shoulder bag, lit one, and took a puff before saying slowly: "You helped Jiang Meiqi settle her family's inheritance dispute?" ”

When the Fifth Tomb heard the name Jiang Meiqi, he instantly smiled and said, "Yes, it turns out that you were introduced by Miss Jiang!" ”

The woman did not answer, but looked around, and when the Fifth Tomb saw this, she picked up her ashtray from the table and placed it beside her. The woman elegantly flicked the cigarette ash, and then said directly: "In this case, I won't waste time, I came here because of a very bizarre thing, although the police have given a conclusion, but I still feel strange, I want to find someone to check again, last night Maggie said that you may be able to help me, so I came today." ”

Hearing this, the Fifth Tomb also lit a cigarette and motioned for the woman to continue. After the woman took a puff of her cigarette, she slowly said the matter with doubts in her eyes. The woman's name is Ye Li, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old this year, she just got engaged a month ago, but the strange thing is that her fiancé Lin Dong suddenly died at home three days before the wedding, and was found naked, with no injuries on her body, and the forensic doctor firmly ruled out the factors of poisoning and sudden illness, and no traces left by anyone were found at the scene. After 20 days of intense investigation, the police finally came to the conclusion that he died of natural causes.

Although the police gave the results of the investigation, after all, his fiancé died very strangely, which also led to a lot of unavoidable gossip. She didn't care about these Ye Li, but she had always been haunted by the death of her fiancé, and she wanted to know if it was really as others said, was she born Kefu's life? Since this incident had just passed, she was not good at investigating again with great fanfare, so she got the business card of the Fifth Tomb from her friend Jiang Meiqi.

After listening to this, the fifth tomb silently extinguished the cigarette in a pot of green plants on the table, he did not ask about the relevant details of the case, but asked a little strangely: "Miss Ye, may I ask if there is a mirror in the house where your fiancé had an accident?" ”

Ye Li was obviously stunned when she heard this, and said with some curiosity: "Of course there is a mirror, but shouldn't you learn more about the details of the case from me now?" ”

Fifth Ling shook his head lightly and said: "The police have already come to a conclusion, so I don't need to re-investigate, and the reason why you are coming to me now is just to want to know how your fiancé died, isn't it?" ”

Ye Li frowned, and said with some displeasure: "How can you know the real cause of death if you don't check?" ”

The Fifth Tomb shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can give you the most authentic answer, but are you sure it's what you want?" ”

Ye Li looked at the Fifth Tomb and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

At this moment, a dazzling blue light flashed in the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion, and heavy rain began to fall in the sky. After the Fifth Tomb waited for the thunder to subside, he looked at Ye Li and said, "This is just a regular inquiry, and I can also guarantee to give you the most authentic answer." ”

Ye Li was a little skeptical when she heard this: "How can you guarantee it?" ”

Fifth Ling looked at her and smiled: "You will know this, now we should talk about the issue of remuneration." ”

When Ye Li heard this, he immediately took out a check and said, "You make a price." ”

The fifth tomb shook his head and said, "I have rules here, and the remuneration must be set by the employer himself." ”

Ye Li was surprised by the words of the Fifth Tomb, and couldn't help but be curious: "Then if I offer a very low price, you don't mind?" ”

The fifth tomb grinned, and there was a hint of playfulness on his handsome face: "It's your business to give as much as you want, and it's my business to take it or not!" ”

Ye Li thought for a while, picked up the brush and swiped a few times, signed a check, handed it to the Fifth Tomb and said: "This is a deposit of 100,000 yuan, if you can really find out the results that convince me, I will give you a satisfactory reward." ”

The Fifth Tomb stretched out his hand to take the check and said, "Deal!" ”

Ye Li looked at the Fifth Tomb expressionlessly and asked, "Then when will you start investigating?" How long does it take to get results? ”

The fifth tomb got up and stretched, put the check away, and smiled: "Soon, anytime." ”

Seeing this, Ye Li didn't waste any more time, and then got up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take you over now!" ”

Fifth Ling nodded with a smile, got up and followed Ye Li out. After the two walked through the rain for more than half an hour, Ye Li's car was parked under a luxury residential building. After getting out of the car, the Fifth Tomb looked up at the towering building in front of him, and muttered softly: "Do rich people's happiness start with a mansion?" ”

Although the voice of these words was small, it was obviously heard by Ye Li, she closed the car door and slightly picked out an arc at the corner of her mouth, did not speak, and directly took the fifth tomb to the twenty-second floor of the building by elevator. After entering the room, the fifth tomb sighed again, the huge living room is decorated like a mansion that can only be seen in a movie, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows will have an unobstructed view of the surrounding scenery, which is the life of a rich man!

After Ye Li came in, her expression seemed a little unnatural, she pointed to the room inside and said, "That's where my fiancé had an accident, you can go in by yourself!" ”

Fifth Ling glanced at her, and then said, "Miss Ye, there are some things I need to make clear to you first, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes later." ”

Ye Li looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" You said. ”

The Fifth Tomb replied, "Wait a minute, you'll see something incredible, but please stay calm." Also, in the process, your personal privacy may be touched, are you okay with these? ”

Ye Li was aroused by his words, she wanted to see what else this extremely unreliable young man could find, she nodded and said, "Okay, I can accept everything that happens later." ”

The Fifth Tomb smiled slightly, and then said as he walked inside: "Miss Ye, you need to come in with me, otherwise how can you see the truth you want to know?" ”

Ye Li frowned, hesitated for a moment and took a step to follow. The two came to Ye Li's room, which was a very large bedroom, and there were wedding photos of the two in it. The Fifth Tomb saw from the photo that Ye Li's fiancé was a man in his thirties, with a bit of elegance on his white face. But I don't know if it's my own illusion, the fifth tomb always feels that the Ye Li in the photo doesn't seem to be very happy.

Ye Li saw that the Fifth Tomb had been staring at the photo, so he pointed to the carpet next to the bed and said: "My fiancé was lying here at the time, but the scene has been cleaned and searched by the police, and now there should be no valuable clues." ”

Fifth Ling shook his head and said casually, "It's okay, I don't need those." ”

Just when Ye Li frowned, about to ask him how he planned to investigate, the fifth tomb walked around the room and looked around, and finally stopped in front of a mirror at the door to fix his hairstyle.

Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, looked at him and said unhappily: "I asked you to help me investigate the cause of death, not to let you sort out your image and be coquettish, please show a professional attitude!" ”

The fifth tomb sighed helplessly and said: "Women are just anxious, okay, look at it, don't blink, don't scream." ”

After the words landed, the Fifth Tomb, which was originally a little lazy, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and the whole person became very calm, calm and a little serious, and Ye Li, who was watching this scene, also subconsciously became nervous. Just when the atmosphere in the room became tense, the fifth tomb suddenly turned around and smiled at Ye Li, his sudden action frightened Ye Li hurriedly took two steps back, and almost tripped over the carpet.

After Ye Li stood up, he found that the Fifth Tomb was joking, and instantly said a little annoyed: "Are you sick?" ”

The Fifth Tomb did not defend himself, and turned his head to stare at the mirror in front of him again. At this time, a strange scene happened, Ye Li watched the fifth tomb in the mirror become blurred, until it finally disappeared, this scene was as if there was no such person in front of the mirror. Ye Li just wanted to scream, but suddenly remembered the instructions of the Fifth Tomb, so he quickly reached out to cover his mouth and stopped the imminent exclamation.
