Should I answer it or not?
Inspector Luo thought about it for a full two minutes. He really wanted to keep the investigation office open. If he couldn't pay the rent in three days, he would close it down.
"Little friend, you want me to investigate more than just catching someone in an affair, right? From beginning to end, you never mentioned your uncle."
Wen Ying looked at him with a smile: "It's about catching someone in adultery, and it's not about catching someone in adultery. I heard that Inspector Luo is the most professional private detective in all of Chengdu. Is it that Inspector Luo is only capable of catching someone in adultery, and wouldn't dare take other types of commissions?"
The little brat even tried to provoke him!
Inspector Luo was angry: "Who said I didn't dare to take it? I meant that your matter is difficult to handle, so it's okay for me to take it... but you have to pay more!"
Wen Ying had already left three thousand yuan on the table.
Considering the per capita income in 2004, this amount of money is already quite a lot. Moreover, I haven't seen the survey results yet. Most customers pay some travel expenses first, so Wen Ying is definitely a generous customer.
Inspector Luo wanted to bow to reality and break his principles to accept Wen Ying's commission, but when the time came, he was a little hesitant and wanted to increase the commission fee to scare Wen Ying. It would be best if Wen Ying backed down herself, so as to avoid Inspector Luo from feeling conflicted.
Inspector Luo is now about the same age as Wen Ying was before she was reborn. When he plays these little tricks in front of Wen Ying, it is like walking on the street without clothes, and Wen Ying sees through it all. Wen Ying does not expose him and puts another two thousand on the table.
"Is that enough? If not, I can add more!"
Inspector Luo's face turned green.
Kids nowadays are richer than him, what can he say?
Inspector Luo repeatedly confirmed with Wen Ying whether the five thousand yuan was stolen from home. Wen Ying assured him that it was not, and only then did Inspector Luo accept the commission.
He also signed a commission agreement with Wen Ying.
Wen Ying's eyelids twitched when she saw the agreement he took out.
What kind of agreement is this? It's full of mistakes and omissions. If you encounter some shameless clients, as soon as Inspector Luo hands over the investigation results to the clients, they will immediately use this agreement to sue Inspector Luo... Inspector Luo was still too young in 2004. The society is dangerous. Comrade Luo, you should be more careful!
Of course, such an agreement is very beneficial to Wen Ying, and she will not remind Inspector Luo until the investigation is completed.
Wen Ying signed the agreement without saying a word.
Five thousand yuan is a one-time investigation fee. All expenses incurred during the investigation will be borne by Inspector Luo personally, and Wen Ying does not need to pay any further fees.
Wen Ying wanted to light a candle for Inspector Luo.
After all, the nightlife at Jiuyan Bridge is not cheap. If Inspector Luo goes to the scene to investigate a few more times, there might not be much left of the 5,000 yuan.
This might be one of the reasons why Inspector Luo's investigation offices failed several times. Wen Ying rarely felt guilty and promised that if the results of the investigation satisfied her, she would give Inspector Luo extra thanks.
Inspector Luo didn't take Wen Ying's extra thanks seriously.
It was not until this point that Wen Ying took out Deng Shangwei's solo photo and handed it to Inspector Luo.
The money was not stolen, but the photos of Deng Shangwei were stolen from home.
"This is my uncle. He's probably on the verge of infidelity, but hasn't taken the step of actually having a relationship yet. The person he's cheating with is the Lily I mentioned. Of course, it's also possible that I'm wrong and my uncle has already taken that step... It doesn't matter. In either case, I need Inspector Luo's help. I suspect this Lily was deliberately brought in to frame my uncle."
Inspector Luo saw that the man in the photo was handsome and felt that Wen Ying might have complicated things.
"Maybe they just think your uncle is handsome."
"Thank you. My uncle is a good-looking man, but I believe his money is more handsome than he is."
Inspector Luo touched his chin and asked, "Do you suspect that Brother Wen?"
Wen Ying nodded, "But I have no evidence. My uncle and Brother Wen are close friends. If I say Brother Wen wants to harm him, Inspector Luo, do you think my uncle will believe me?"
Inspector Luo put himself in Deng Shangwei's shoes. If his niece, who was still in school, came to tell him that her good friend was plotting against her and she couldn't produce any evidence, even if Inspector Luo loved his niece very much, he would think it was just a child's mischief.
If there was evidence, the nature of the matter would be different, and Inspector Luo would definitely be willing to believe his niece rather than his friend.
Inspector Luo didn't want to accept Wen Ying's commission at first. Children believe everything they hear. It's not like he's playing house if he catches his uncle in an affair!
But now, after chatting calmly with Wen Ying for a while, he found that although Wen Ying was young, she spoke very logically. She did not take advantage of her young age to be unreasonable, but instead spoke with reason and evidence, and was quite convincing.
That means what Wen Ying suspected might be true.
The five thousand yuan did solve Inspector Luo's urgent problem, but before he put the money into his pocket, Inspector Luo already felt the heat.
This is indeed not a simple commission to catch an adulterer!
Of course, now that the money has been collected, Inspector Luo will not back down because of difficulties.
"We'll keep in touch and I'll keep you updated on the progress of the investigation."
"Okay, text me when you have news. Don't ask me why I can't answer the phone. Every student has to go to cram school during the summer vacation."
“…”
As soon as Wen Ying left, Inspector Luo couldn't sit still and immediately headed straight for Qingshiqiao Seafood Market.
At this time, the nightclub at Jiuyan Bridge had not yet opened for business, and going to the Conservatory of Music to look for someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Inspector Luo had the same idea as Wen Ying, and wanted to start with the two well-known seafood bosses in the Qingshi Bridge Seafood Market. Since Wen Ying mentioned these two people, it meant that she suspected that these two people and Brother Wen were accomplices.
…
When Wen Ying returned to the company, Deng Shangwei was about to go out. He smiled when he saw her:
"Have you got your phone card ready?"
Wen Ying saw that Deng Shangwei looked relaxed and happy, without any guilt at all, and was a little uncertain: Could it be that Sister Fang hasn't told Deng Shangwei about Lily coming to the company?
Or maybe Deng Shangwei's acting skills have reached such a level that Wen Ying can't tell anything... Wen Ying is more inclined to the former possibility, so Sister Fang didn't tell Deng Shangwei.
"Well, it's done. Uncle, are you going out again?"
"There's a dinner party. I heard you treated your employees to milk tea yesterday. Today, I heard several employees praising your generosity. Sister Fang also said you're smart and eager to learn. Xiaoying, you really impressed me."
Deng Shangwei felt that Wen Ying was not only a beautiful woman, but also a piece of jade, but no one had polished her yet.
Wen Ying's introverted personality prevents her from shining. As an elder, it would be fine if I didn't notice Wen Ying's specialness, but now that I have noticed it, can I still just ignore it?
Deng Shangwei's heart moved. "The lunch party is with Boss Qin. Weren't you very curious about Boss Qin yesterday? You kept asking me all sorts of questions. Now that I have the chance, do you want to go with me to meet Boss Qin?"
Wen Ying was very tempted, but she didn't agree immediately: "Uncle, you two are talking about business. Will it bother you if I come with you?"
Deng Shangwei was very satisfied.
He did not immediately agree to go out and see the world when he heard that he would have to, but instead thought about whether he was suitable to appear at the dinner party.
——This child really understands and has really gotten it!
