Chapter 430 Investigation

After the meal, the men present cleaned up on their own initiative. Although they were not very good at cooking, washing the dishes and wiping the table were not difficult for them.

Lin Siqiao did not argue with them, seeing that the children were so sleepy that they could not even open their eyes.

After Lin Siqiao gave the three little ones the red envelope that he had prepared in advance, he asked Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu to take them back to rest first.

When everything was almost cleaned up, Lu Jianchuan picked up the car keys, and while the people in the kitchen were not paying attention, he secretly kissed her on the cheek.

"Wife, go to sleep first. No need to wait for me. I will go with them to check the surrounding area."

Lin Siqiao nodded. She was indeed a little sleepy at the moment. "Then you should go early and come back early. Be careful when driving at night."

"Um."

Lu Jianchuan responded, and soon the figures of several people were submerged in the night.

Only when he was sure that there were no suspicious people or vehicles within a radius of 1 kilometer did he feel relieved.

The next morning, Lin Siqiao asked everyone to settle in the new house first, while she and Lu Jianchuan went to the largest private detective agency in the country.

Founded in 1850, this detective agency is headquartered in Chicago and has branches in major states across the country.

The person who came out to greet them was the head of the branch, Mr. Doug, who introduced himself and said with a smile.

"Beautiful lady, how can I help you?"

Lin Siqiao was in a hurry and didn't have time to engage in awkward conversation with him, so he got straight to the point.

"I want to check this person. Can you take this order?"

As she spoke, she pushed Deputy Director Zhang's personal information over.

As Mr. Doug flipped through the book, he looked Lin Siqiao up and down.

"Is this person from the liaison office?"

He asked this not because he was curious about why Lin Siqiao wanted to investigate this person, but there were some things he had to make clear in advance.

"Ma'am, we can take your order, but I have to tell you in advance that our detective agency's fees are not cheap."

"Yes, I know."

Before coming, Uncle Qiu's good friend Mr. Jin had already told her that this detective agency charges by the hour, and the charging standards are divided into several levels according to the difficulty of the case.

Government workers like Deputy Director Zhang charge at least US$100 per hour.

Sure enough, the next moment Mr. Doug said, "Ma'am, for the level of investigation you want, our charge here is $120 per hour."

"In addition to this fee, you will also need to pay for meals, gas, accommodation and unexpected expenses incurred during the investigation."

"The total cost will probably be around $30 million."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Lin Siqiao could not accept the price, Doug said this in a serious tone.

"Ma'am, what we can guarantee is that our service will definitely make you feel that it is worth your money."

"There is nothing we can't dig up, except what you can't think of."

Lin Siqiao nodded. She had no objection to the price and didn’t care how the investigation was conducted.

Her only requirement was that within a week, she needed to know the detailed information about this person's cash flow, interpersonal relationships, and emotional entanglements.

Of course, if the investigators can dig up more valuable information, she doesn't mind paying an additional reward.

",make a deal!"

After both parties signed the formal contract, Lin Siqiao left Jiang Tao's contact information to Mr. Doug.

Early this morning, the two men said goodbye to Lin Siqiao.

They couldn't help with the investigation, but after the two of them went back to discuss it last night, they finally decided to return to the liaison office.

Lin Siqiao thought about it and agreed. With them around, it would be easier to determine Deputy Director Zhang's whereabouts.

In addition, Lin Siqiao also assigned them a task.

That is, after returning to the contact office, ask them to find a way to find out the information about the previous owner and the company that renovated the house.

Didn’t this group of people put seven accusations on Director Chen’s head?

Lin Siqiao wanted to see what these people would say when these ridiculous lies were exposed one by one.

Everything has been arranged, and Lin Siqiao has returned. All we have to do now is wait patiently.

Lin Siqiao originally thought that she would have to wait at least two or three days, but she received a call from Jiang Tao and others the next afternoon.

The moment the phone was connected, the excited voices of two people came through.

"Comrade Lin, we have found the contact information of the previous landlord and the decoration company!"

"By the way, we also took photos of the original purchase and renovation contracts. We have already mailed them to you this morning."

Just when Lin Siqiao was wondering if things were going too smoothly, Jiang Tao and the others told him the whole story.

In fact, at their current level, they have no access to this information. It’s just that after Director Chen got into trouble, the people in the liaison office have been in a panic and have no time to go to work.

In addition, the absence of Deputy Director Zhang and his minions gave them the opportunity to succeed.

Lin Siqiao was even more surprised to hear that Deputy Director Zhang had not returned yet, but she didn't have time to care about this person now. After writing down the contact information and address, she hung up the phone.

In the next few days, Lin Siqiao and Lu Jianchuan traveled to several cities and finally got in touch with the original owner.

After hearing about what happened to Director Chen, the landlord couple found it unbelievable.

Two years later, when they mentioned Director Chen, the word they mentioned most was "hardworking".

The landlady said, "I can't even remember how many things Mr. Chen did for our family during that time. It seems that he repaired the lawn, roof, and water pipes in our house."

So much so that their attitude changed from being unwilling at the beginning to finally deciding to hand the house over to Director Chen even though the price he offered was not the highest.

The landlord couple praised Director Chen highly, while the person in charge of the decoration company shook his head helplessly after mentioning Director Chen.

Of course he remembered this guy.

The person in charge was not afraid of offending Lin Siqiao and said bluntly, "This Mr. Chen is the most black-hearted and stingy boss I have ever seen in my life!"

When Lin Siqiao heard the answer, he was stunned.

Before she could come to her senses, the person in charge continued speaking.

"It's okay for him to bargain, but I can tolerate him having to buy the decoration materials myself."

"I didn't expect that he would arrange for the staff of the liaison office to follow behind for more than a month, so that our people had no work at the end."

People in their line of work earn their money through hard work.

The work of painting walls and mixing materials has been done by the people in the liaison office. How can they make any money?

But then again, these people from China are really hardworking.

The period of renovation was when the country was at its hottest.

All the workers under him were complaining all the time, except for those people in the liaison office who were laughing every day. He still didn't understand how they could laugh so hard.

The person in charge was still talking, but Lin Siqiao couldn't bear to listen anymore.

She asked the other party one last question, "So at this time, what is the black-hearted boss you mentioned doing?"

Upon hearing this, the person in charge stopped talking.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it was an indisputable fact that he also followed Mr. Chen.

While recording this information, Lin Siqiao's hands couldn't help shaking.

So, this is what they call embezzlement? Exploiting employees?

At this moment, Lin Siqiao's mood could no longer be described as angry. Fortunately, she received a call from Mr. Doug that night.

When Lin Siqiao learned that the other party asked her to go to the detective agency with the balance tomorrow morning, she knew that it was almost time to close the net.

The next morning, Lin Siqiao arrived at the agreed time.

Mr. Doug really did not disappoint her. The information, photos, recordings and other things alone added up to a thick stack.

Lin Siqiao was wondering why this person suddenly lost contact for two days. It turned out that he went to Las Vegas to gamble.

No wonder he spent $300,000 in less than a year and a half.

"By the way, ma'am, this guy suddenly had $30,000 deposited into his account a few days ago."

Seeing that Lin Siqiao readily paid the balance and a large bonus, Mr. Doug mentioned it when he sent her downstairs.

Lin Siqiao didn't take it seriously at first until the other party said the following sentence.

"Our people checked and found out that the person who sent him the money was a man named Pete Williams."

Lin Siqiao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Lin Siqiao didn't want to hide this matter from Lu Jianchuan, so she told him the first thing she did when she got back.

Lu Jianchuan frowned when he heard this. Sure enough, the thing he was most worried about happened.

"Qiao Qiao, you can't stay in the country anymore."

"Things here are almost done. I'll send you back home in three days."
