Chapter 1 Girl’s Commission
Jiangcheng, Tingtang Road, in an adult shop called Happy Peak, stood a bewildered and pale-faced female high school student.
“The full service is 9990 yuan, and a deposit of 1000 yuan is required for the preliminary investigation.” With a cigarette in my mouth, I looked at the girl in front of me.
Being stared at by me, the girl seemed very uncomfortable: “One thousand…I only have seventy on me, can I give you the rest when I have money?”
“Seventy is seventy, put the money on the table, you can go, I will reply you in three days.”
“You… are not a liar, are you?” The girl was dubious, and the seventy yuan in her palm was already soaked in her sweat.
“Being entrusted by others, being loyal to others, authenticity, efficiency, integrity, and confidentiality are the tenets of our business. What you said just now is questioning my professionalism.” Pulling the banknote from the girl’s hand, I waved her away.
Seeing this, I believe that many people will misunderstand me and think that I am a **** who bullies minors and abducts young girls. In fact, everything I do is to help her.
My name is Gao Jian, and I am the owner of this adult goods store. Of course, the so-called owner is just a disguise, and my real identity is a private detective.
Our firm accepts all kinds of non-litigation case assistance, including search for persons and corpses, commercial espionage, counterfeiting and rights protection, extramarital investigations, and assistance in various non-litigation cases.
Back to the topic, the girl who came to ask for help just now is Xia Qingzhi, a student at No. 1 High School in this city.
The reason why she appeared here was also because of an incredible thing.
“My brother Xia Chi disappeared a week ago, and I suspect he has been killed.” The girl looked panic-stricken as soon as she entered the door.
“You should call the police in criminal cases.” I just glanced at what money a high school student can have, and lost interest.
“Calling the police is useless. I tried everything. No one remembers my brother’s existence, including the household registration investigation. There is no information about my brother. He seems to have evaporated, and all traces have been erased.”
“You mean that the memory of your brother only exists in your mind?” The girl doesn’t seem to be lying, and this is the scariest part.
“Yes, everyone has forgotten my brother, only I remember…”
Lighting a cigarette, I took a deep breath.
If what the girl said is true, there are only two reasons, supernatural and supernatural events, or the girl suffers from severe schizophrenia, and there is still a perverted brother hidden in her body.
“Did your brother do anything unusual before he disappeared?” At this time, the only way to get more clues is to follow the other party’s words, and I’m not in a hurry.
“On the night of a week ago, my brother was invited to participate in an interview on a certain live broadcast platform, and he never came back.” The girl said, taking out a very ordinary card from her pocket, crumpled, and repairing the sewer on the roadside railing. , Small advertisements selling counterfeit drugs are similar.
“Do you want to be a star that everyone is watching? Do you want to be admired by hundreds of millions of fans?”
“Become a contract anchor of the underworld show and open your own live broadcast room.”
“As long as you have the courage, talent, and time.”
“You can turn all your dreams into reality by sitting at home!”
“Hell Show, the name is unique enough.” I studied the card repeatedly, and I became even more suspicious that it was a prank by a brat. Don’t complain about the company name, just look at the back of the card. The interview time of this live broadcast platform is from 12:00 pm to 3:00 am. The interview location is No. 44 Wudeng Road, Room 444 on the 4th floor of the basement. The series of time and place numbers do not seem to be prepared for normal people.
“Do you think I’m making it up too?” The girl’s reaction was on the verge of despair, and I could see loss and panic in her eyes.
“No, before there is no investigation, no one is qualified to draw conclusions.” Even if it is for the tens of dollars on her, I have to say that, because my firm has not accepted orders for two months. Coupled with the emergence of self-service condom machines, the income of adult stores has become more and more sluggish. If this continues, the rent will almost be unaffordable.
Therefore, I accepted this commission as if it was a prank, and there was the scene at the beginning.
“Hell show…” In recent years, the live broadcast platform has become popular. Some people live broadcast food, some live games, some people live broadcast coquettish, seduce pure hanging silk, these are all understandable, but the name of the **** show is complete Can’t guess what the main content is.
“Is it a live broadcast of the daily life of the dead?”
Shaking my head and smiling, I urged Xia Qingzhi to leave. The female high school student has stayed in my adult shop for a long time, and I’m afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, she is not yet eighteen years old.
Opening the thick door curtain remodeled from a military coat, Xia Qingzhi was about to go out when she bumped into a woman exuding feminine allure.
“Yes, I’m sorry.” Xu Shi realized that the adult store was not the place he should come to, Xia Qingzhi covered his face with his schoolbag, and Fei seemed to run away.
“You even buy things for high school students?” The woman’s voice was so sweet that I felt vaguely familiar.
“It’s other people’s freedom to buy or not, and I have no right to interfere.” The woman in front of me is indeed a beauty, her delicate white ankles are stepped on high-heeled sandals, her calves are tight, and her lace skirt is floating in the air , obviously in a loose long dress, but she couldn’t hide her proud curves, she had a good figure and temperament, but she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so she couldn’t see her face clearly.
However, I have long been used to the fact that people who come here will have their own secrets. If the other party is unwilling to reveal their identity, I will not force them to ask questions.
The woman is well-dressed, wearing a famous brand, and the bag in her hand should be a Louis Vuitton in Paris. This bag alone can cover my annual rent.
“I don’t know what you need, beauty? The small store is about to be sold due to poor management. All products are sold off the building, with a 20% discount.”
“Sorry, I don’t want anything, I’m just here to find someone.” The woman took off her mask and sunglasses as she said, “Gao Jian, I haven’t seen you for five years, you haven’t changed at all.”
The moment I saw that face, the cigarette **** in my hand fell to the ground: “Ye Bing?”
She was my first love girlfriend. When we were in the police academy, our combined grades always ranked first and second.
But later, I was expelled from the police academy because I was involved in a serial murder case, while she successfully completed her studies and was recommended to go abroad for further studies with the help of her new boyfriend.
“I haven’t seen you for five years, but you’ve turned from a sparrow into a phoenix. You’re a complete goddess.” I lit another cigarette and looked at the lingering smoke: “You changed your phone and cut off all contact with me. I thought your airliner crashed and sank in the Pacific Ocean.”
“Isn’t five years enough for you to get rid of your poisonous tongue? I admit that I did something wrong, but I don’t regret it.” The beauty is smiling, mature, confident, and her every move can make a man Impulse.
“Really? Then what are you doing back now? Don’t you want to rekindle your old relationship with me and relive the passionate years?” I stared at Ye Bing’s curvy figure with unscrupulous eyes.
“I wanted to have a good talk with you today, but seeing your current situation, it seems unnecessary.”
She didn’t answer the call, but took out a bank card from her purse and put it on the table: “There are 100,000 yuan in this card, which is my apology for leaving without saying goodbye. Gao Jian, we are not young anymore , it’s time to step out of memories and face reality.”
“In three days, my wedding with Jiang Shao will be held in Century Xinyuan. If you have time, you can come over. After all, I just returned to China and I don’t have many friends in this city.”
Ye Bing’s tone seemed to be narrating an ordinary matter. I caught the deep disgust and disappointment hidden in her eyes. At this moment, I was speechless.
No anger, no pain, no hysteria, I just took a puff of cigarette: “You take the card, I will be there on time in three days.”
I don’t know when Ye Bing left, but after smoking a pack of cigarettes, I feel burning in my lungs.
There is nothing to complain about. A random card from someone is worth more than my entire net worth. Instead of causing people to roll their eyes and get angry, it is better to do what is at hand.
I put the small advertisement left by Xia Qingzhi next to the computer. This is the only business I have done in the past two months. Although the client is only a minor and may have mental problems, I absolutely cannot screwed up. Because, I need money.
