Chapter 66 Red Spider Lily 05

Ever since humans came up with the institution of marriage, third parties who destroy marriages have also appeared.

While condemning this situation, people have also come up with many ways to check personal belongings, question whereabouts, and track people, in order to discover this betrayal in a timely manner.

Private investigation companies came into being.

Luo Siwei had heard of some similar investigation businesses before, but this was the first time he met the relevant people.

She glanced at the names on the business cards. The man with a smile and gloves was the manager of the investigation company, named Liu Yan. Another ordinary-looking man also registered, his name was Guan Junyi, and he was an investigative detective under the company.

Luo Siwei understood this. If you choose handsome men and beautiful women or ugly people to be investigative detectives, they will be discovered before the investigation even begins. Only those who cannot be found in a crowd can be more concealed.

Luo Siwei let Ni Xiang lead the man to the interrogation room.

In this scene, Guo Zhengyao and Huo Cunsheng were in charge of recording, while Luo Siwei and Ni Xiang were in charge of questioning.

The man named Liu Yan was a chatterbox. As soon as he entered, he started talking about his company's business.

"To put it bluntly, we're private investigators. Our main business is investigating mistresses and collecting evidence. But don't worry, officers! Our company complies with the law and regulations, pays taxes on time, and only encounters people in public places like restaurants, public transportation, and hotel lobbies. We don't engage in illegal activities like eavesdropping or snooping."

Ni Xiang asked curiously: "This is the main business, what other businesses do you have?"

"That's a lot." Liu Yan said with a smile, "We also have people who can do the mistress test and the mistress separation. As long as it is within the scope permitted by the law, we can do any related business."

Ni Xiang felt like a new world had been opened to her. While recording, she asked, "What is the mistress test?"

"Well..." Liu Yan continued to introduce the company's business. "Usually, the buyer of this service is a woman who tests the man. We once encountered a young woman who tested her fiancé. Our actor showed up at the gym the man frequented, took the initiative to contact him, and even asked him out for dinner. In the end, the man didn't stand up to the test. Not only did he go to dinner, but he also took the initiative to ask him out for sex in a hotel. In the end, of course, his fiancée brought people to catch him in the act, and the marriage didn't go through."

Luo Siwei has heard such stories in the past, and she does not rule out operating within the scope permitted by law.

There is no regret medicine for marriage. If you can recognize the nature of a scumbag before marriage and avoid the woman being deceived, you can be considered to have escaped a disaster and avoid divorce after marriage.

"Of course, not all men are assholes. There is still true love in this world, and many people have withstood the test. Naturally, the marriage of young couples will last a lifetime... As for the separation caused by a mistress, it's also easy to understand. Some people discover that their partner has a mistress, but don't want to divorce. We usually find a handsome and wealthy man to help seduce the mistress away. When the man realizes that the mistress is just pretending to be affectionate towards him, he will let go and return to his family."

At this point, Liu Yan smiled and took the initiative to recommend his company: "We have professional actors in our team, and we can also hire co-actors as needed. If you have any related needs, please contact us."

"That's not necessary." Luo Siwei said coldly, "Let's talk about the relevant circumstances of this case."

Huo Cunsheng said anxiously in the headset: "Captain Luo, don't be so quick to refuse. I'll go add them later. Maybe they can develop into the city bureau's subordinates. When we are short of manpower and it is inconvenient for us to come forward, they can also help out."

Guo Zhengyao, standing by, scoffed, "That's a nice thought. How much does it cost to develop an investigation company as your downline? Will it be reimbursed from your salary?"

Huo Cunsheng retorted, "These people are very smart. When facing the police, they naturally won't quote the same price as they did to those bosses. Shouldn't they give a preferential price?"

Guo Zhengyao said, "That's not how things are done. Have you ever considered that if the police and the investigation company get involved, it will have a bad reputation?"

Huo Cunsheng asked, "It's all about investigating the case. Which is more important, reputation or the case?"

The headset sounded like a crosstalk, but Luo Siwei ignored the two people and turned the topic to the current case: "Why did Zhou Zitu call you?"

"Generally speaking, we will sign confidentiality agreements with our clients and will not tell their privacy to others. But now that a murder has occurred, we also hope to provide clues to the police and solve the case as soon as possible." Liu Yan finally put away the smile on his face when he said this.

"Just over six months ago, Zhou Zitu approached us and asked us to help investigate her husband, Zheng Wanshan, also known as Mr. Zheng. She suspected he was having an affair."

At this point, he pointed at Guan Junyi, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word: "Xiao Guan is the salesperson in charge of this matter."

The man named Guan Junyi not only had an ordinary appearance, but when he sat there without saying a word, he was practically invisible. After hearing Liu Yan introduce him, Guan Junyi took out a sealed cowhide file bag from his schoolbag and placed it on the table.

Liu Yan pushed the bag towards Luo Siwei: "Here are the results of the investigation into this matter. Zhou Zitu called me several times during this period, all about this matter."

Zhou Zitu had always wanted to divorce Zheng Wanshan. Besides finding a lawyer, she naturally hoped to find some evidence against him that would give her a better chance in the divorce case. Given Zheng Wanshan's history of infidelity, Zhou Zitu decided to investigate her husband's involvement, a logical move that made sense.

Luo Siwei took the bag and opened it. Inside were some records about Zheng Wanshan, including where he lived during that period, when he went out, when he met whom, and who he had dinner with.

It can be seen that those photos were taken from a very long distance and are a bit blurry.

When the investigative company comes to the police station, it is likely that the most sensitive information has been removed, but it can still provide them with a lot of information.

Zheng Wanshan likes to go to various fireworks places, KTV and health massage parlors at night. He will meet different young and beautiful girls and go out to rent a room.

Liu Yan introduced: "Based on our observation, Zheng Wanshan has quite a few female confidants."

Luo Siwei picked up a dated photo. It showed Zheng Wanshan and a young woman walking into a car together. The woman was slender, made-up, and pretty, bending down as she prepared to get in. Zheng Wanshan opened the door for her and even protected her head with his hand. His eyes showed his fondness for her.

The two people in the photo look like a couple who are close friends regardless of age.

Then she picked up another photo, which showed Zheng Wanshan hugging a young girl as they entered the hotel lobby. However, this girl was obviously not the same person as the previous one.

There are also a few rare photos of Zheng Wanshan having dinner with men, which looks like a business negotiation.

In the monitoring room, Huo Cunsheng said, "It seems that Zheng Wanshan is still cheating."

Guo Zhengyao snorted into his headset, expressing his disdain: "A dog will always eat shit."

While taking notes, Ni Xiang asked, "Have you confirmed the identities of these women?"

This time, the one called Guan Junyi spoke up: "We are just investigators. We only have the right to take photos in public. If you want to know who they are, you have to do a human flesh search. We don't do anything illegal."

This is a high-sounding reason, but Luo Siwei doesn't quite believe it. These people make this kind of money, and they just come to the police station to pretend to be good students.

However, she had no evidence, and the other party was very cooperative, so the police could not accuse them out of thin air. These people were unwilling to reveal the identities of these girls, so the police could only investigate on their own, and even ask Zheng Wanshan.

Luo Siwei thought for a moment and asked again, "Does Zhou Zitu know about this?"

Liu Yan nodded: "Since we have made progress in our work, we must inform the client as soon as possible."

Luo Siwei asked, "How did she react?"

"She... was quite calm." Liu Yan recalled for a moment, then added, "Honestly, in our line of work, many people ask us to investigate mistresses, but we don't actually have any actual evidence. Once we get the evidence and lay it out before their eyes, it's going to be really exciting..."

Liu Yan folded his arms over his chest as he spoke. "Some clients were furious, some burst into tears, and some refused to believe us, accusing us of fabricating evidence. But Ms. Zhou was one of the few who remained calm."

He still remembers that meeting with Zhou Zitu was in a coffee shop in the afternoon. After seeing the photos, the woman across from him just said calmly, "I know."

Then she settled the payment promptly.

Luo Siwei asked, "As if she knew anything?"

"Yes!" Liu Yan nodded hurriedly. "She didn't ask too many questions. After confirming these things, Ms. Zhou asked us to stop investigating Zheng Wanshan. So we don't know what happened next."

Hearing this, Guo Zhengyao snorted in the headset: "It seems that Zhou Zitu really has no feelings for Zheng Wanshan. The collection of this evidence is just for the purpose of divorce."

"We police need a copy of these materials." Luo Siwei said, thinking about how much the information in front of him was related to the case, and whether it had any connection with Zhou Zitu's death.

At this point, Liu Yan looked strange and said, "Actually, there's one more thing we need to confess to the police."

Luo Siwei frowned, guessing something from his expression and having a premonition in his heart: "Are you guys taking over Zheng Wanshan's business again?"

As expected, Liu Yan nodded. "He came to us on his own initiative. We're open for business, so how could we turn a customer away? We couldn't possibly tell him that your wife had investigated you before. Three months ago, Mr. Zheng approached us to investigate whether his wife, Zhou Zitu, had an affair. He even assigned Xiaoguan, a salesperson, to be in charge."

After hearing this, not only Ni Xiang who was sitting in front of them was a little nervous, but even Guo Zhengyao and Huo Cunsheng who were sitting in the observation room were surprised.

It's quite dramatic that a couple both found an investigator to investigate whether their spouse was cheating, and they found the same investigation company.

Guo Zhengyao was drinking water when he choked. "Oh my god, this couple is acting in Mission Impossible here?"

Huo Cunsheng said, "This is not Mission Impossible at all. At best, it's just a middle-aged version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

Luo Siwei remained calm. She asked Liu Yan, "What are the results of the investigation into Zhou Zitu?"

Guan Junyi took out a new file bag and handed it to her.

Similarly, it contains a lot of photos taken secretly during tracking, which are similar to the previous investigation package.

Zhou Zitu works out, goes out, and waits in a cafe for his daughter to finish her extracurricular tutoring class.

She flipped through the photos with her fingers, most of which were taken in profile or from behind.

One of the photos is a night scene. Zhou Zitu is standing on an old and quaint street. She is carrying a schoolbag, frowning and lowering her head, as if she is thinking about something.

Liu Yandao said: "The entire investigation lasted for more than a month and was subsequently stopped at the employer's request. That's all we know now. We have already disclosed everything we know."

Luo Siwei said: "Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any other clues, you can contact us at any time."
