Great detective, your wife is jealous again! GL

In the rainy city of H, it was the day of returning to the south in early spring, hidden in some old alleys deep in the urban area, there were complaints everywhere.The old alleys are all old houses built during the Republic of China, and the interior was redecorated. When I went back to Nantian, the floors and walls of the house were seeping, and the clothes and quilts smelled damp and moldy.The aunts and aunts who provoked were sitting together under the eaves and complaining loudly. Although it was a bit noisy, it was considered a unique scenery in the alley.

In the deepest part of the old alley, there is a small two-story building.Above the red-painted iron gate was an old wooden signboard, with the words "Cross Detective Office" engraved on it.Everyone in the alley knows that in this detective agency, there lives a white, clean, tall, thin, long-haired/beautiful girl who often wears a peaked cap and smokes a cigarette. She is the boss of that detective agency.It is said to be a detective company, but in fact, there is only that girl in it. In summer, she often wraps herself up tightly, wears sunglasses, and looks sluggish.

In fact, some troublesome aunts and six women in the alleys often talk about it, saying that someone rumored that the weird and mysterious girl in the detective agency is actually eating from the underworld.I never go out in broad daylight, and every time I go out is at night, wearing a peaked cap, a mask and a pair of long leather shoes, rattling past the narrow bluestone road in the old alley, it makes people feel hairy.

From the outside, the detective's decoration is European style, a bit old.A small yard is surrounded by walls and iron gates. Two camphor trees are planted next to the gate. They are a bit old and need two adults to embrace them. A stone road is paved on the ground and extends to the gate of the small building. , the stones on the stone road are protruding in disorder, and it hurts to walk on it with bare feet. There are a few cherry trees and a few peach trees planted in the yard.Now it is the time of flowering, but it has been raining for several days, most of the flowers on the tree have been knocked down, only a few sporadic flowers are left on it, and there is a layer of petals stained with muddy water on the ground. It looked a bit bleak.

The decoration of the hall on the first floor is quite Chinese style. The chairs, stools and bookcases are all made of nanmu. In the left corner of the hall, there is also a Laughing Buddha enshrined. .The room is filled with the smell of incense, which makes people feel comfortable. The floor is made of solid wood, which is dry and beautiful. The doors and windows are tightly closed, so the return to the south outside has not affected the place.

There are two desks in the hall, one of which is facing the door, with its back facing a large bookcase, surrounded by layers of old books and archives, which looks a bit crowded and messy.A slim white cigarette was placed in the ashtray on the table, the smoke curled up, and the ash was about to fall.A thin and tall figure is sitting on the boss's chair, with his slender, white and bony fingers slightly clasped together, a thick notebook is placed on the table, with a beautiful pen rolling on the side, and the writing on the clean white paper penetrates the back of the paper. , clear and correct "Chronicle of the [-]st Case"

Chu Shi'an raised his eyes slowly, his eyes were hidden in the darkness by the brim of his hat, making it difficult to see where her eyes were falling. She pondered for a while and looked at the opposite guest before saying leisurely: "Tell me, what do you entrust me to do?" Don't worry about the case, the case entrusted to me can be solved perfectly within ten days or two days. As for the price, it will be charged according to the complexity of the case. Now, let me tell you about the basic situation of the case." Hand leisurely He stroked slightly in mid-air, and his tone was also light, which made people feel at ease instantly.

"Hey, help me find some, this is its picture." The little girl, who was carrying a small book and wrapped in her ponytail, took a deep breath, sucking in the snot that was about to fall to her mouth.Then he walked over to the desk, took out a photo from his schoolbag, tiptoed and pushed the photo onto the table, and then stared at Chu Shi'an with tears in his eyes.

"En." Chu Shi'an's eyes fell on the photo, which was a small tabby cat with its tongue sticking out and bright fur.Stretching out his slender fingertips, he pressed the photo back on the table and patted it lightly. He straightened up and said solemnly: "I already know the appearance and characteristics of the entrusted cat. Now please describe it and when you lost it." "Hey." The little girl sniffed her nose again, and said in a childish voice with a bit of crying: "Yesterday, I took a little dog to play in Yunwan Park, and a big dog ran over to scare me, and I was very scared." ran away and never came back.”

Fingers rhythmically tapped across the photo on the table, Chu Shian nodded, frowning lightly and pursing his thin pale lips slightly: "I have already understood the basic situation of the case, now, let's talk about the remuneration Although the incident is simple, it will delay my time after all, so you can count it as my two-hour appearance fee, 400 yuan." "I only have so much." The little girl took out a wrinkled paper from her pocket. Baba's ten-yuan banknotes were reluctantly handed over to Chu Shi'an.

The air seemed to condense for a few seconds, just when the little girl's mouth was wrinkled, tears were about to drip from her eyes, and the snot from her nose was about to flow into her mouth.The person who had been motionless and hidden in the darkness finally moved, and in the blink of an eye, he took the banknotes away from the little girl's hand, then raised his eyes and pushed a contract on the table in front of the little girl, and said calmly: "I've taken over the case, you can sign the contract. You have one and I have one. At this time tomorrow, you come to my place again, and I will hand over the entrusted cat to you."

"Thank you, Detective Sister." The little girl sniffed happily, wrote her name crookedly on the contract excitedly, and left with a bounce.

Chu Shian pressed down the brim of his hat, with a cautious and steady look on his pale face.She flattened the crumpled banknote bit by bit, then sighed softly and said in a low voice: "The world is going down, business is difficult."

It was getting dark slowly, and Chu Shi'an's stomach growled twice.She stood up slowly, walked to the door, put on a long black trench coat, and went out with the ten yuan she had just earned without opening an umbrella.

The handwriting on the recruitment notice hanging on the iron gate has begun to scatter, but no one cares about it.Chu Shi'an stretched out his hand to pat the non-sticky recruitment revelation with turned up corners, his dark eyes flickered, and then pressed the brim of his hat to gather his clothes, and walked into the drizzle in the rain.
