Xiaoyu Detective Agency

The overdrawn Xiuwen went on to take another day off to make up for the regret that he didn't go to his big bed last night.He wanted to lie down at home and sleep in the dark, but was awakened by a rustling sound similar to that of a mouse stealing a snack.When he woke up, he remembered that he had put Wang Jue into his home in the morning, leaving him to fend for himself; and he himself fell asleep on his big bed in an instant.

Wang Jue, who had been starving all night, tried his best to find all kinds of food that could fill his stomach at his home, but because of Xiuwen's high pursuit of health and strict body management, there were really no delicious snacks.He's chewing a bag of cereal right now—the kind that's supposed to be in milk.Finding that Xiuwen finally woke up, he was so happy that he jumped over from the sofa, throwing off one of the slippers on his feet.

"Are you awake? When can we eat?"

Not yet completely free from fatigue, Xiuwen rubbed his forehead that was still slightly swollen, the small wounds on his body had scabbed over, and he was tight when he moved.Seeing that Wang Jue was so hungry, besides blaming himself for falling asleep without having time to prepare something for him, he also had some doubts: "Did you order a takeaway?"

Wang Jue turned out all his pockets and showed Xiuwen, with a pitiful and dejected look on his face: "I have no money."

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the other party, even the straight man Ru Xiuwen couldn't help but feel pity, he quickly got up and went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and found the ingredients that could be used, put on an apron and picked up the kitchen knife, looking quite like that thing.

The movements of Xiuwen's hands were quite neat, the potatoes, cucumbers and eggplants were first turned into slices and then shredded in his hands.He was a little more sober, but he still spoke slowly: "How do you spend your money so cleanly?"

Wang Jue leaned on the wall at the junction of the kitchen and the living room to watch Xiuwen cut vegetables. He still held the bag of cereal in his hand, and occasionally stuffed a piece of cereal in his mouth to crunch.

"I paid the rent. The location of your unit is not cheap, and you have to pay it all at once."

"How much?" Xiuwen remembered that Lei Yizhou said that the rent was used to make up for the shortfall of this quarter, and suddenly became curious.

"Sixty thousand. All my savings, I suspect that the woman who rented the house to me peeked at my passbook." He thought his suspicion was reasonable, but he didn't want to tell Xiuwen the reason for it.

When the dishes were served, Wang Jue sat at the table full of anticipation, resisting the excitement so as not to knock the bowl with chopsticks, just like a three-year-old child waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner.Seeing him like this, Xiuwen didn't want him to try his craft.

Sure enough, after trying a chopstick, Wang Jue's bright eyes gradually dimmed.

Seeing the change in the other party's expression, Xiuwen scratched his head in embarrassment: "Isn't it delicious?"

Wang Jue shook his head.How should I put it, it's not tasty, but it's not bad either.There is nothing wrong with the appearance, and the taste is not salty or bland, but it is not fragrant and unappetizing.A table of vegetables, not a bit meaty, he almost asked "Are you a vegetarian", but fortunately he held back.In his eyes, these vegetables are like Xiuwen, cold and hard, but they are healthy at the first level, but they lack human touch.This meal made Wang Jue fully understand what is meant by "tasteless food, but a pity to throw away".

Thinking that he had signed a contract with such a culinary guy for several months, Wang Jue felt that his mouth was about to be wronged.He got up angrily and rushed into the kitchen of Xiuwen's house. After a while, he came out with a white porcelain plate in his right hand, which contained two balls of black and unidentified objects.The plate contained scrambled eggs. When Xiuwen opened the refrigerator just now, he saw a few lovely eggs neatly arranged in the refrigerator door.

Compared with the unidentified food and Xiuwen's less interesting dishes, Wang Jue still chose Xiuwen's work.After witnessing once again that he had no talent in this area and could only waste food, Wang Jue no longer mumbled or complained, but at the same time he began to plan in his mind to give Xiu Wenbao a culinary improvement course, provided that he could have income.

In any case, since he didn't make any money, at least he wouldn't starve to death.Don't be too hypocritical about his current economic situation.He picked up his chopsticks to eat seriously again, with a serious expression as if he was doing a math problem, and he was a different person from the time in the coffee shop.

Xiuwen is a person who has no pursuit of food, or in other words, he has no pursuit.In addition to insisting on exercising, even hobbies are missing.He usually cooks by himself just to satisfy his hunger, and he has never seriously studied any recipes. Coupled with his consistent frugal style, he never thought of doing it himself if it was a little complicated.Moreover, he is usually not keen on socializing, and this is the first time he cooks food for someone other than himself.

He also knows that his cooking skills are not up to par, but he has put his heart into it. If the other party is still not satisfied, he can only expect him to cancel the contract.But he waited and waited and didn't get this sentence. The two of them ate in silence, with only the occasional sound of tableware colliding and chewing. Isn't this no different from when he was alone?

After being silent for a while, Xiuwen thought of a topic: "How long have you been a detective?"

Wang Jue chewed the food in his mouth slowly, trying to analyze what was wrong with the food. He was a little surprised when Xiuwen asked him.After two days of contact, Xiuwen didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to bring up the topic, and flatteredly replied: "Three days."

"..." Xiuwen's hand holding the chopsticks paused obviously. He originally thought that the other party had moved the office from another place, especially after learning that Wang Jue was 29 years old, he believed that the business license was stolen. lost.Now it seems that he really did not have a license to draw one himself.But Wang Jue observed meticulously and thought carefully, and it didn't seem like he was a detective for the first time. This person is really contradictory.

Noticing the other party's snooping, Wang Jue's pride rose again: "What? Do you think I'm proficient in my business? You can think of me as a genius!"

"Then what did you do before?" Xiuwen asked.

"Secret. It's not good to be too curious, young man, wash your hands and make soup! If you don't make progress, I won't give you money."

Xiuwen curled his lips and said in his heart: "You wouldn't give money in the first place."

Wang Jue ran away after eating, as if he had spent the whole day here just to eat this dinner.While washing the dishes, Xiuwen depressedly missed the kitten who could no longer live with him. Dr. Gao promised to send it to a reliable zoo. In the future, he would have to buy a ticket to see his pet. I am afraid this is the first time in history.

It's no wonder that Wang Jue didn't stay for a minute, he even made an appointment with Li Meimei's wife.The explosive news on the outskirts of the city had been broadcast all day, and the identification of the body was not progressing fast. Wang Jue waited until evening to hear from the client. The other party set a meeting time. After eating, Wang Jue found that there were still 1 minutes left.

It is still the coffee shop, it should not be far from where the client lives or works.Walking in, Wang Jue saw a woman in black. He approached and bowed first: "I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry about your husband."

"It's not your fault, I had a premonition." Li Meimei's wife raised her hand and asked him to sit down.She was emotionally stable, not hysterical, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

"I'll return the entrustment fee to you. I can't handle this well." Wang Jue handed over the envelope, and the kraft paper was a little crumpled in his trouser pocket.

"You can keep half of it," the woman opened the envelope and took out a few banknotes, then pushed the envelope back, "but can you tell me what he was involved in?" She brushed her hair and lowered her voice slightly , "The police told me that illegally stored fireworks accidentally exploded. Do you think I'm a fool? Don't say that most of the city has banned fireworks, and a few fireworks factories are under strict monitoring; it's only [-] Who would set off so many fireworks there this month? Besides, what does Li Meimei do there, and he doesn’t have any fireworks-related business.”

Wang Jue hesitated for a moment. First of all, he didn't expect this woman to calmly analyze the situation after being widowed. Secondly, he felt that it would be easier if he didn't know about these things. Persuaded: "Okay."

He didn't fully understand this matter, including what role Gao Yuanshan and Yang Yi played here, where Yang Yi went, and what they were studying, he didn't know.But he could tell the lady that Li Meimei participated in the illegal smuggling and experimentation of animals, which was the reason for his death.He handed over Li Meimei's cell phone that had been dropped at the scene. If he hadn't found it, it would have been turned into a ball of ashes by now.

"Since he was the one who made the mistake first, no one else can be blamed." Li Meimei's wife flipped through the threatening messages on her phone, and accepted them obediently.There was no anger, no blame, as if she knew the answer all along and was just waiting for someone to finalize it.

Such open-mindedness was beyond Wang Jue's expectation.He had planned to return all the entrustment fees, and he rehearsed how to comfort a sad woman who lost her husband several times in his mind, trying to control the scene so as not to attract the attention of others, but he did not expect such an ending.

He stared at the woman across from him, afraid that he would miss some details and make a big mistake.It's not that there is no such precedent. The bereaved person's mood is stable at the beginning, and he can arrange a series of things clearly. In the end, after all the things are dealt with, the grief is uncontrollable and he commits suicide.After looking at it for a while, Wang Jue didn't find anything unusual. After thinking about it, he didn't delete the other party's contact information, and said to the other party, "You can also ask me for help in the future" before leaving.

Under Xiuwen's instructions, Bai Wenyu found the pet hospital, picked up his sister, and did not forget to pay the commission fee to the new detective next door.She was not the direct client, and had no contact with Wang Jue, so the money was transferred to Xiuwen.

Xiuwen wandered around Wang Jue's door several times the next morning. It was only after ten o'clock that he slowly opened the door. He rushed up and handed over his mobile phone: "Can I add you on WeChat?" Seeing the hesitation on the other side's face, he quickly explained, " Bai Wenyu sent the entrustment fee for finding my sister to my WeChat, and I want to transfer it to you."

"Oh, you take it, when I hire you wages."

The author has something to say:

Xiuwen: Why don't you add me on WeChat?

Wang Jue: No reason.

Xiuwen:?

Wang Jue: Do you like to get to the bottom of things so much?

Xiuwen: Shake your head, then nod.

Wang Jue: Well, well, I don't like to be passive.
