Lin Xiu already had a preliminary plan in mind, and walked out of the Lin residence.

That greyhound named Xiao Hui, who provided him with important clues today, Lin Xiu did not treat it badly, it ate two elbows and five chicken legs just now, and now it is basking in the sun under the wall outside the Lin Mansion.

Lin Xiu took Sun Dali and Rhubarb to the flower and bird market in Wangdu first.

He planned to buy another bird. Although most people would not suspect Dahuang, it was too big to be followed outside. If the person being followed entered the mansion, Dahuang would have nothing to do.

It's different with a bird. Its targets are smaller and less likely to be noticed. After training, even the smartest drone can't compare.

There is a flower and bird street near Lin's mansion. These things are very popular in the rich and powerful circles.

The dignitaries don't have to work, they can receive their salaries while lying down, and they have a lot of time for leisure every day. Apart from oppressing the common people and regulating women from good families, walking birds and fighting cocks and crickets are all basic skills.

The entire Huaniao Street is full of shops selling bonsai, flowers, insects, and birds. After stepping here, Lin Xiu's head started buzzing, as if it was about to explode.

It was already noisy here, to others' ears, it was just the sound of insects and birds, but to Lin Xiu's ears it was different.

"Grumbling..."

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat..."

"Quack, is there anyone to mate with?"

"Me, me, I'm behind you..."

……

Lin Xiu found that not all animals had the same wisdom as the imperial concubine's pet and Rhubarb. In fact, what most animals said here was meaningless.

For example, those ornamental fish can only spit bubbles, and the sound they make has no information.

Some insects only have food and mating instincts, and they only repeat those few sentences.

To Lin Xiu's surprise, there are several kinds of birds with high IQ, which can be clearly seen to have their own thinking, such as thrushes, orioles, etc. Lin Xiu's first shop at the street corner cost ten taels of silver I bought a thrush and left in a hurry.

Being able to understand animal language is not necessarily a good thing, at least in this kind of place, Lin Xiu couldn't stay for a moment when he was quarreled, and the confluence of various complicated and meaningless voices made his head feel like it was about to split open.

A moment later, in Ewha Garden, in the Accord.

Caiyi looked at the thrush in the cage, couldn't help stretching out her finger to tease, and said, "This thrush is so beautiful..."

Lin Xiu was discussing one thing with the class leader. Although he wanted to work part-time as an undercover detective, there were no barriers to doing this. At least, he needed a shop.

With a shop, you can receive customers, but Lin Xiu obviously doesn't have the time and energy, and he can't stay in the shop all day. Instead, he can borrow the place in Lihuayuan and put up an extra sign at the door. If there is business coming, let them take it over for Lin Xiu first.

Lin Xiu originally planned to pay them, but the class leader didn't want it. Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Xiu didn't insist anymore.

Lin's Detective Agency was opened just like that, but it had no business for a few days. This is also normal. After all, this business is different from those serious shops. The important thing is that everyone wants to find a well-known secret agent. For some newcomers, it is normal for no one to care about them.

On this day, Lin Xiu was walking on the street, followed by Rhubarb, and a thrush bird stood on her shoulder, which attracted passers-by's frequent glances.

There are quite a few people in Wangdu who know how to walk birds, but they either tie the legs of the birds with silk threads, cut off the wings of the birds, or simply walk with them in cages to prevent them from escaping. The young man in front of him, Neither using silk thread nor cutting off the bird's wings, the bird stood obediently on his shoulders. This is the highest state of walking a bird.

After a while, several people came forward to ask Lin Xiu's method of taming the bird, or simply asked him if the bird was for sale. The highest bid was even 100 taels of silver, and Lin Xiu bought this bird from the flower and bird market. , It only cost twelve taels.

Of course Lin Xiu wouldn't sell it, and they couldn't learn how to tame birds either.

In fact, when Lin Xiu opened the cage for the first time, the thrush also wanted to fly away, but it was also curious why this human could understand its words and kept circling above the Lin family.

It took Lin Xiu three days, chatting with it, and seducing it with food, before she finally tamed the thrush and made it willing to stay by her side.

In this regard, there is a big difference between birds and dogs.

Dogs have long been domesticated by humans, and they are naturally very loyal to humans. So Lin Xiu used an elbow and a few chicken legs to bring Rhubarb home and let him never leave him. However, these wild birds are hard to find. They yearn for nature. Freedom, even if Lin Xiu can communicate with them, it is difficult to tame them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing spying. He could earn a lot of money just by helping others tame birds.

Fortunately, this bird has a brain and knows the difference between a full meal and a full meal. When the luck outside is unlucky, it will go hungry for nine meals in three days, and it is even worse in winter. Follow Lin Xiu and eat three meals a day. , you can order what you want to eat, it's not much better than catching bugs outside...

Arriving at Lihuayuan, just as Lin Xiu walked to the lobby on the first floor, the class leader came down from the upstairs and said happily: "Mr. Lin, you came at the right time. There is a business coming, and it is still a big business. Caiyi is waiting upstairs. Let's talk to that guest..."

A moment later, Lin Xiu saw the guest in the Accord on the second floor.

It was a woman, not tall, but very strong, about 1.5 meters tall, weighing more than 40 catties, and not too young, she looked like she was in her [-]s, purely from an aesthetic point of view, This pair of dignity is really not flattering.

But she also has one of the biggest advantages, that is, she is very rich.

She wears accessories all over her head, all of which are made of pure gold. Lin Xiu feels heavy at a glance. In addition, there is also a pearl necklace on her body. The size and color of the pearls are high-end products at first glance. It is the body instead of the neck, because she is so fat that she has no neck, and her chin and chest are connected together.

In addition, there were two pure gold bracelets on her left and right wrists, which almost caught Lin Xiu's eyes.

When she saw Lin Xiu, the woman's eyes lit up suddenly, and she asked, "Are you that spy?"

Lin Xiu nodded and asked, "What do you want to entrust?"

The woman looked Lin Xiu up and down, and some kind of brilliance began to bloom in her eyes. The fat on her neck twitched a few times, and she looked at Lin Xiu and said, "Why don't you stop being a spy and follow me? I will give you 500 taels of silver every month, and you can spend it as you like. In this month, you have ten days to stay with me, and I don't care what you do during the rest of the time..."

Lin Xiu's face immediately showed righteous words, and said: "Madam, please respect yourself, I am not this kind of person..."

Chapter 74

In Lihuayuan, Yage Pavilion on the second floor, the woman is still increasing the price.

"1000 taels!"

"It's really not about money, it's about dignity and the bottom line!"

Seeing Lin Xiu's resolute attitude, the woman looked a little disappointed, and said, "If you regret it, you can come to Baoding Hou Mansion to find me at any time, and we can talk about the price..."

Unexpectedly, this woman had a background in the Second-Class Marquis's Mansion, Lin Xiu said helplessly, "Madam, tell me what you want me to do."

Speaking of this matter, the woman's eyes showed a fierce look, and she gritted her teeth: "That bastard eats mine, lives in mine, spends my money, and dares to find a woman behind my back. You help me get the evidence that he betrayed me, and I will give you 1000 taels as a reward!"

Lin Xiu quickly figured out the situation of this woman.

It turned out that she raised a little boy, and usually provided him with food, drink and entertainment, on the premise that the boy wanted to play with her.

In recent days, she found that Xiaobai's public rations were seriously insufficient, so she suspected that she had been greened. For this reason, she found several undercover investigators, but they couldn't find any key evidence. Lin Xiu was already the first person she changed. Five spies.

It seems that this business is still a bit difficult, but Lin Xiu still readily accepts it.

After all, 1000 taels of silver is not insignificant to his temptation.

There is another detail that makes Lin Xiu very speechless. This rich woman takes care of other pretty faces and asks him not to favor her, but what she told Lin Xiu just now is that she can do anything except spend time with her. This is obviously a different treatment. ah.

Before leaving, this woman did not forget to tell Lin Xiu: "If you change your mind, remember to come to me!"

After paying 100 taels in advance, she reluctantly left here.

After finally seeing her off, Lin Xiu saw Caiyi smiling and asked, "Miss Caiyi, what are you laughing at?"

Caiyi smiled and said: "I just think that you have a bottom line and perseverance, 1000 taels of silver per month, how many people can resist such a big temptation?"

In fact, Lin Xiu couldn't resist it either. Based on the prices in this world, 1000 taels of silver is almost 100 million yuan in later generations, and 100 million yuan a month. Even if it is a steel ball warning... some people may grit their teeth and endure it.

Lin Xiu said helplessly to Caiyi: "Actually, I also like silver, but I really can't do anything with that lady. If it's a girl in Caiyi, let alone 1000 taels, I would also like 100 taels..."

After Caiyi got acquainted with Lin Xiu, she let go a lot every time he teased her back and forth. Hearing this, she just smiled and said, "Then I want to earn money, and when the time comes, my lord must remember what I said today... ..."

"Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow. I'm waiting for the girl in Caiyi..."

……

After teasing Caiyi for a while in Lihuayuan, Lin Xiu returned to the Lin Mansion. He didn't forget that he still had business to do.

This is the first business he received as a secret agent. He must do it well in order to be famous. This is very important for a new secret agent.

The woman had given Lin Xiu the appearance and address of the little boy. What Lin Xiu had to do was to monitor this man's movements, and it was best to find evidence that he betrayed the woman.

Lin Xiu didn't have to do this kind of thing at all. After bribing the thrush with a meal of bird food, it flew out to help Lin Xiu monitor the target.

It was not until two hours later that it flapped its wings and flew into Lin Xiu's room from the window, landed on the table, and chirped a few times.

Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Did you lose track?"

Little Thrush yelled a few more times, and Lin Xiu was thoughtful after listening.

Just over an hour ago, it saw the target leave the house, went into a restaurant to eat, and then didn't come out. Later, it got impatient and went to the man's house to check, only to find that he had gone home .

The first reaction of a normal person upon hearing this is that when the target left the restaurant, it was distracted and didn't notice, but Lin Xiu didn't think so.

In order to find evidence of this person's betrayal, Lin Xiu was not the only secret agent that the rich woman found. Before him, she also found four secret detectives who were all more famous than Lin Xiu, a newcomer, but without exception, they all Failed.

And before finding the spy, she asked the servants around her to follow him, but they still found nothing.

This business is indeed a bit difficult.

It seems that the 1000 taels of silver are not easy to earn. Lin Xiu asked Huamei to observe the target for two more days, and found that he would leave home at a fixed time every afternoon, and then disappear, until two or three hours later, he would directly appear at home again .

This also aroused Lin Xiu's interest. On this day, he went out with Rhubarb and Thrush himself, and saw the man enter a restaurant. He was sitting by the tea stand outside the restaurant, drinking tea while waiting.

It was time for dinner, and people came and went from time to time in the restaurant, but the target Lin Xiu was waiting for did not appear.

At a certain moment, Rhubarb, lying at Lin Xiu's feet, suddenly sniffed, and then called out in a low voice: "Master, master, he's come out!"

Lin Xiu immediately looked at the door of the restaurant, but found nothing. Just when he was puzzled, Da Huang said again: "Master, that's the one who came out just now. Although his appearance has changed and his clothes have changed, the smell on his body No change!"

Lin Xiu's eyes immediately fixed on a young man in a gray gown. This person was also very handsome, but he was quite different from the target Lin Xiu was following, and his clothes were also different. However, the height and shape of the two were quite different. Very similar.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what was happening, and stood up abruptly.

This person is a person with different abilities, he can change his face!

It's no wonder that no matter whether it was the servants of the Hou's mansion or Lin Xiu's previous secret investigation, there was no evidence that he was looking for a woman. Thrush returned without success every time, and even Lin Xiu was deceived. Fortunately, she came out today to bring Had rhubarb.

He can change his appearance, but not his smell.

A trace of fire appeared in Lin Xiu's eyes, and she followed without leaving a trace.

What he was thinking at the moment was not just the 1000 taels of reward, the ability to disguise himself was too important to him now!

It can be said that Lin Xiu's face brought him a lot of trouble. The king didn't know how many people wanted to kill him secretly. Although His Majesty sent people from the secret investigation department to protect him, but the corresponding , Lin Xiu also lost his freedom.

He knew that those two secret agents were protecting him in the dark, his safety was guaranteed, but he also lost his secret.

If there is a thunderstorm next time, Lin Xiu will have no way to go out to practice again. This is a problem he has been worrying about.

If he could change his countenance, things would be much easier.

When doing something that cannot be known by others, or is inconvenient to be known by others, he can completely change his face, change his identity, and do it silently. He no longer has to worry about being assassinated in the street, or his biggest secret being exposed .

And the premise of all this is to get this person's ability!

Liu Dong was very disdainful as he walked on the bustling streets.

That short, fat and ugly stupid woman actually had doubts about him, and even hired secret agents to investigate him. It was a joke. He Liu Dong has been in the flowers for many years, relying on this ability to change faces, Even if he went out to find women every day, she couldn't find any evidence.

If it wasn't for her money and her extravagant life, he would never have slept in that dead fat pig's bed. Every day he was hugged by a pile of fat and fell asleep, which cast a great shadow on his heart. Only a beautiful and gentle little sister can soothe his wounded heart...

As for the dead fat pig, she'll let people check it out slowly. Just check it casually, and if he finds the evidence, he loses!

Thinking this way in his heart, Liu Dong has already walked to the door of a brothel he often comes to.

After rubbing a few hands on the girls waiting for customers at the door, Liu Dong put his arm around one of them and walked in with a smile, ready to comfort himself for the grievance he suffered last night.

Lin Xiu stood on the street not far away, watching all this silently.

He knows that few people can resist the temptation to struggle for 30 years, especially after entering society and being beaten by life, he will gradually realize that dignity and the bottom line are actually the most worthless things. If you grit your teeth, you will choose to take shortcuts.

Dreams are not worth mentioning in front of reality.

But few people understand that the gift of fate has already been secretly priced.

The shortcut of saving 30 years of struggle is not so easy. In her previous life, Lin Xiu knew that many beautiful men and women who were taken care of by rich wives and rich men at a young age actually spend their own money to have fun in private. Their psychology has been depressed for a long time. , needs release more than normal.

Especially the little milk dogs and little wolf dogs who are taken care of by older rich women, their situation is even more miserable, because men's desires in certain aspects will decrease with age, and they pursue more things, money, Power, these are more attractive to them than beauty, and occasionally looking for a beautiful girl is to satisfy normal physiological needs.

But women are different. Their desires will increase with age, and they have more methods, some of which are even unheard of. Lin Xiu just heard that kind of description, and she felt shuddering. The misery of those who experienced it personally, needless to say up.

Lin Xiu understood Liu Dong's behavior, but did not sympathize with him.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Now that he has decided to be a jerk, he must have the awareness to be a jerk. From the perspective of the jerk industry, his behavior can be regarded as breaking the rules.

Lin Xiu found a teahouse opposite the brothel to drink tea, and by the way, gave the teahouse clerk two coins and asked him to go to Baoding Hou Mansion to invite the woman over, saying that he had already found clues that Liu Dong had betrayed her.

Half an hour later, a chubby body led a dozen servants of the Hou's mansion to the gate of the brothel.

When Lin Xiu walked out of the teahouse, the woman asked angrily, "Where is that dog?"

Lin Xiudao: "Don't worry, wait until he comes out."

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I can't wait!"

After finishing speaking, she rushed in with more than a dozen servants, entered the brothel, moved a chair, blocked the door, and said: "Look for it, let me look for it one by one!"

It's not evening yet, so not many people choose to have fun at this time, including Liu Dong, there are only three guests in this brothel at the moment.
