crime profiler in the dark

Lu Mansion

Zou Zhide took the salary envelope given to him by the housekeeper, and curled his lips while touching a thin stack of banknotes.Although there were times when his business was not good when he was a private investigator, he was very free at that time and could do whatever he wanted.Now he works as a security guard for the Lu family. He feels like a dog on a leash. Even if he has Bai Haolin and Lu Yaming making indescribable small videos, he doesn't know what to do with it. The worst thing about him.

In the past two days, he checked the clues in his hands again. He only knew that Lu Yaming and Xing Hongming interacted frequently, and Bai Haolin was also assisting him. It must have something to do with her selling the company to the multinational group introduced by Xing Hongming. Apart from the fact that they often met secretly, Zou Zhide really couldn't see any other problems, only his detective instinct told him that the two were plotting something.

Zou Zhide returned to his small room, threw the envelope on the bed, and was about to lie down and think about his future life, when his mobile phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was an unknown number. In the past, he would occasionally have cautious employers when picking up jobs. It's not surprising to call him from a blocked number, Zou Zhide hesitated for a moment, then picked up:

"Hello? Zhide Detective Agency, Zhidezhide, aspiration must be virtuous." He used to be full of enthusiasm when he chanted the slogan, but now he is weak.

"Detective Zou?" The other party's voice was muffled, as if it had been specially processed.

"What's the matter?" Zou Zhide had met such a client before, so he didn't find it strange.

"I need your help to search for a company, the price is negotiable," said the other party.

"What company? How much are you going to pay?" Zou Zhide originally thought it was an affair investigation or something, but he didn't expect it to be a big order.

"A shipping company. I'll give you [-] for the investigation first, and another [-] if the problem is found."

"What problem do you want to find out?" Zou Zhide's detective sense told him that this matter was unusual.

"If I can tell you, what else do you need?" The other party was a little dissatisfied, "And I heard from the introducer that your ability is one of the best among the detectives in this city. Of course, you won't be satisfied with just this little investigation fee, right?"

Zou Zhide was not impressed by the high hat he gave him. He curled his lips and made a small calculation in his heart: two thousand is not too little, so I will charge him first, even if nothing can be found out, I will not lose money.

"Okay." Zou Zhide replied, "How to trade? Cash or transfer?"

"Cash, seven o'clock tonight, the second bench west of the statue in Baihu Park, you take today's Observation Times." The other party hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

"What, it's like a spy joint." Zou Zhide muttered, but it also made him full of curiosity about this list.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Zou Zhide came to Baihu Park, but he didn't sit on the second bench, and he held the Observer Times under his arm. He wanted to find out who the other party was.

At this time, a young girl who was playing with her mobile phone and licking ice cream was sitting on the bench. While she was licking the ice cream, she was playing with her mobile phone. Zou Zhide thought to herself that she might not be the mysterious person who contacted him. Sure enough, another time passed. A few minutes later, a boy her age trotted over, and the two left talking and laughing.

Zou Zhide looked at his watch, it was already 2:[-], he looked around, there were some old men and old ladies who were dancing and boxing in the square ahead, and occasionally young people would run past him wearing earphones, no suspicious person was seen .He looked at his watch again, it was [-] minutes before [-] o'clock, did the other party let him go?

Just when the hour hand was pointing to seven o'clock, Zou Zhide's cell phone rang suddenly, and he quickly picked it up:

"Hello? Where are you? I've arrived."

"Get under the chair." The other party's voice was still muffled, as if he had no intention of meeting him.

Zou Zhide stood up full of doubts, looked around again, but still found nothing suspicious, he walked to the bench, squatted down, and sure enough, he saw an envelope stuck under the chair, he tore off the envelope, opened it, and there was not much inside. Quite a lot, exactly two thousand: "I got it, what next?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a note inside.

"Look at the note inside, I will contact you again in three days." After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone again.

Zou Zhide was a little unhappy for the other party's breaking the contract, but with money in hand, he could also soothe his wounded heart.After putting the money in the inner bag, Zou Zhide opened the note and saw that it contained the time and quantity of the frozen ingredients delivered by the express freight company. It should be a very ordinary account, but there are always some strange numbers and numbers in the last column. symbols, ranging from 300β to 800§.

"What the hell?" Zou Zhide frowned. He was about to fold the note and put it away. At this moment, an inconspicuous mark in the corner caught his attention. According to his experience, this was written on the last piece of paper. Out of the detective's instinct, he smeared the imprints left by things with a pen, and soon, a few lines of small characters were clearly visible.

It recorded the time and place of a press conference, and next to it was written "Three people from our agency will attend."

Seeing this, Zou Zhide suddenly understood: "So it's a lazy little reporter who wants me to work for him!"

Many investigative journalists will do unannounced visits, undercover, follow-up, and other work similar to detectives. They have too many things on their hands and they will hire detectives to do it for them in private. It's the first time I've checked a shipping company for a date or something.

Anyway, taking people's money to commit suicide, not to mention that Zou Zhide has nothing to do now, this money can solve his current financial crisis, why not do it?
