Chapter 194: The Daily Affairs of Detective Blue

Following the old man's lost commission, Bilan smoothly handled the rest of the consultation commission.

In the second commission, the partner elf who doesn't know where to run is a wheel ball. This Pokémon, which evolved from a centipede, has a hard shell and venomous spikes, and when frightened, it spins and runs at high speed like a tire.

The Wheelworm unfortunately disappeared while out for a walk, and its trainer seemed to be overly worried, insisting that his partner had been targeted by a proud pheasant that had recently appeared nearby, and was taken back to the nest.

However, as far as Blue knows, there shouldn't be any bird Pokémon that likes prey like the Wheel Ball - this cocoon-type Pokémon is hard and poisonous, and with an average body length of 1.2 meters, it is impossible to imagine it being carried through the sky by a proud pheasant.

"My partner evolved relatively early and was much smaller than his peers, and the big bird used to stare at our carousel with a fierce look, and he must have wanted to make it his lunch for a long time! Please hurry up and save my elf! ”

——For Bilan's confusion, the client explained so loudly with a pessimistic attitude, with a cry in his voice.

But despite the other party's plea, the acting detective was still skeptical.

Now she also knows a little bit about the Pokémon ecology of Hezhong. The client's so-called fierce gods and evil spirits should just be due to the gender difference of the arrogant pheasant, right? The male haughty pheasant has a prominent crown on its head, and it is indeed easy to be frightened when such a large bird suddenly lands next to people - but this does not mean that it will develop an appetite for the wheel ball, but it is more likely that the wheel ball will run around because it is frightened.

After briefly appeasing the client, Bilan opened the drawer that had been kept by the grass seedling turtle and skillfully retrieved a map from inside.

Due to the special shape of the Wheel Ball, it is difficult for this Pokémon to move quickly without relying on the terrain drop, so it is not difficult to guess where it disappeared.

After checking the local terrain roughly, Blue recorded information about all the shops at the end of the downhill in her notebook, and then called them one by one, asking if they had seen Pokémon flying like purple tires during the noon hour.

The investigation went well, and when I asked about the twelfth store, she received a positive answer, and the cashier of a clothing store saw the ball rolling down. The "purple tire" that was witnessed was not 1.2 meters, only the size of a football ball, and it was almost certain that it was the client's partner who had evolved in advance.

At this point, the commission was basically over - Blue told the trainer where the wheel ball might be, and the other party found a partner in less than half an hour.

The partner Pokémon eventually landed in the grass at the end of the slope, where he met a wild group of his kind. Having never had a social experience, it was very new to it, and it happily played with its companions, and it was a little lingering when the trainer approached him...... But that's a topic that has nothing to do with commissioning.

The third commission is the most classic prenuptial investigation, which is also the most popular business in the firm, and Hugo has already set the process for similar commissions.

The first step is a legal means, Bilan skillfully fills out a fabricated consultation application and delivers it to the mailboxes of various public institutions of the Alliance.

The public institutions of the United Nations believe in the concept of "transparent government", but the quality of the grassroots clerks is somewhat uneven. As a result, sometimes it is possible to obtain official information from the respondents of the survey in black and white as long as the reasons are sufficiently good and the words are earnest enough. In addition, if the identity of the respondent is fake, the fact that their identity is fictitious will also be exposed in this round of investigation.

The second step is a bit of a grey area involving the law.

At this stage, the detective agency will query the specialized data sales website. These websites crawl the web platforms of government agencies and educational institutions, as well as the search engines themselves, and integrate the information obtained to a certain extent.

A search on such a website will reveal most of the personal information of the respondents, such as school history, criminal records, work history, and traffic management penalties. This information is extremely cheap on crawler websites, and investigators only need to spend less than one percent of the commission fee to know most of the life of the person being investigated, but the information in it is true or false, and the detective needs to conduct a second review.

This information has been leaked online by information traffickers before it is queried, so there is no need to feel guilty when viewing it...... This kind of thinking is not okay!

Buying a citizen's privacy with money is itself financing a crime, no different from buying stolen goods from a thief.

However, the detective at the time said this-

"In that case, you can report these crawlers to the cybersecurity department under the police after the investigation has created guilt. If the police take action, the intelligence traffickers will have to move their positions, which is an irreparable loss for several intelligence businesses. In this way, it not only improves work efficiency, but also takes into account justice and conscience, which is a perfect win-win situation. ”

I think your definition of justice and conscience, and even win-win, is a bit too broad...... At that time, Bilan complained in her heart.

However, no matter how much the side is willing to report illegal websites with revenge, these intelligence traffickers who leak citizens' privacy will not be wiped out on the Internet. After all, the vulnerabilities of the various portals of the United Alliance are there, and as long as the corresponding code for crawling data is mastered, such a website can be rebuilt no matter how many times it is destroyed.

Filling all of these cyber vulnerabilities is a huge undertaking, and the coalition has neither the budget nor the motivation to address it completely, so it can only treat the symptoms and let the corresponding police agencies suppress them.

The fundamental reason why such websites can survive repeated sweeps is that their customers are always in flux.

Different from individual users such as Hugo's detective agency, all kinds of commercial companies and intelligence organizations will also buy public information in bulk from crawler websites to complete more accurate user portraits, and recommend advertisements, sell products, analyze popularity, and manipulate public opinion on the basis of re-recommendation and advertising...... I heard that Simra, one of the Seven Sages of the Plasma Regiment, is a professional person who does this kind of thing.

In the background investigation, if the online search still fails to obtain effective information, there are the third and fourth steps, which are to track the target's social media account and offline tracking, respectively. However, this is a method that can only be used when tracking important cases, and if it is only a simple premarital investigation in front of you, it will not start such an extreme stalker.

As for today, Blueblue suspended the processing of the commission after sending the application for consulting the alliance agency, and decided to wait for a written response before proceeding with the second step of the investigation.

Just like a professional locksmith, solving the work too quickly can also make the client feel frightened, so it is time to keep up with the efficiency of the United Alliance, pretend that this kind of information is difficult to obtain, and deal with the client slowly, so that it can be easier to collect the commission fee.

Well, the world isn't black and white, it's made up of large expanses of gray — and Turquoise uses "autosuggestion" on herself.

Finally, there is the most painful cheating investigation - the wife suspects her husband of an affair and asks a detective agency to investigate him.

It is unlikely that such a case will end satisfactorily.

The acting detective lady rubbed her forehead, and reluctantly found the contact information of the client and called the other party's mobile phone.

According to Hugo's statistics, in such commissions that are so serious that they need to seek detectives, the probability of one party really cheating is as high as 70%. And even if the firm finds the evidence perfectly, it will only help the divorce proceedings to be smoother. A bleak marriage will not be restored, and a broken heart will not be redeemed......

But at the same time, Hugo also said this-

"The idea of linking the happiness of marriage to the happiness of life is arbitrary. Divorce is essentially a matter of getting rid of personal attachment to others, and although it comes with pain, it is just as much a thing that should be praised and blessed as quitting smoking and drinking. ”

…… Does that guy not believe in love at all?

A woman's anxious voice came from the earpiece, and when the other party learned that the detective who accepted the commission was a young girl, not only did not give up the commission, but began to pour bitter water unceremoniously, complaining heavily about life and her spouse, and discussing her worries about her future life.

If Hugo was here, he should have calmly interrupted the other party and shifted the topic to the commission, but Bilan had been completely suppressed by the other party's momentum, let alone interrupted, and it was difficult to even interject to express his opinion.

An afternoon flew by, and Azur finally spent the time processing the sum of the first three commissions and hung up the phone. Exhausted, she reclined down on the office's sofa chair, hugging her fluffy Eevee tail to feel the warmth of the Pokémon world.

During that long period of time, the client described to Bilan in great detail the whole process of a love from deterioration to decay, and how a family gradually changed from warm and beautiful to unbearable to live like years. Now she just wants to find a way to break up with her spouse who hates each other, Bilan is best if she can find definite evidence of cheating, if there is no evidence, she will find another way herself......

If the spouse hadn't cheated, would it be possible for the two to reconcile - such a question, Bilan really couldn't ask.

She could only say according to the script: "I understand, our firm will return you the truth with the same weight as the commission fee." ”

When accepting the words of the commission, Bilan ushered in a relaxed sigh full of liberation from the client, as if he had just shaken off a heavy burden.

If you listen to such a sigh every day, no matter who you are, you will become unable to believe in love...... Although she was not sad about this kind of thing, the mood of the acting detective lady became a little heavier.

It's time to get off work now, and according to the client, it's the best time to go out and investigate the evidence of cheating, so Blue changes into an inconspicuous outfit, picks up the digital camera in the detective tool, and walks out of the gate of the Feather Habitat with Eevee, Changeling, and Ancestral Bird.

As far as clues are concerned, the information provided by the client has reached the point of overabundance, and Turblue is even sure that the commission will be resolved before dinner.

…… At the end of the day, there was no real case to be encountered, and the work done by Blue was no different from the tasks assigned to her in the firm.

This is the daily business of detectives, who are not always glamorous, basically on the edge of morality and law, and do not need to command Pokémon to participate in battles, but their running minds can also be tired. Sometimes it's proud, sometimes it's unpleasant. Treacherous cases don't happen every day, but the trivial things in life are endless. Sometimes even if you help someone, others will not express gratitude, and sometimes even if you don't do anything at all, you can get heartfelt thanks from the client.

But as an acting detective, Bilan's heart occasionally has a hint of longing, when will her first case come?
