"Knock knock knock."
Su Jianguo knocked on the mottled wooden door.
The door opened a crack, revealing a wrinkled face.
"Who should I look for?"
A hoarse voice asked.
"I'm looking for Old Cat."
Su Jianguo lowered his voice.
Someone recommended you, saying you can solve 'special problems'.
The eyes behind the door looked Su Jianguo up and down before opening it completely.
An elderly man with a hunched back and gray hair stood at the door. He looked to be at least seventy years old, but his eyes were very sharp.
"Come in."
The old man turned and walked into the house.
The office was tidier than I had imagined, with an old-fashioned desk, a few chairs, and walls covered with newspaper clippings and photos.
The most striking feature is an old-fashioned typewriter and several iron cabinets crammed with documents in the corner.
"sit."
The old man pointed to the chair.
"I'm Old Cat. What is it?"
Su Jianguo sat down and took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase.
"I would like to ask you to investigate someone, Zhang Haiyang, the vice principal of Beijing No. 1 Middle School."
Old Cat narrowed his eyes slightly and took the file bag.
"The education system? That's not cheap work."
Money is not a problem.
Su Jianguo took out a stack of banknotes from his inner pocket and placed them on the table.
"This is a deposit of one thousand yuan; the remaining four thousand will be paid after the deal is done."
Five thousand yuan is a price that no one can refuse in this day and age.
Old Cat didn't take the money immediately. Instead, he slowly opened the file bag and looked through the documents inside.
Zhang Haiyang's photo, workplace, home address, and several newspaper clippings.
Tell me, what do you want?
The old cat asked without even looking up.
"everything."
Su Jianguo's voice was as cold as ice.
"Embezzlement, bribery, womanizing, especially inappropriate relationships with female teachers and students at the school. The more detailed the better, the more thoroughly he will be disgraced."
The old cat finally raised its head, a hint of interest flashing in its eyes.
"Personal grudge?"
"He ruined my son."
Su Jianguo briefly recounted what had happened, his voice calm but his fists clenched.
"I'll make him pay the price."
After listening, Old Cat remained silent for a moment, then reached out and took the stack of banknotes.
"I'll give you what you want in two weeks."
He stood up and took a small tape recorder from the drawer.
"However, I need more funding for the activities."
Without hesitation, Su Jianguo took out another thousand yuan.
"Contact me if it's not enough."
Old Cat nodded and put the money away.
"You can leave now. Come back at this time two weeks from now."
After Su Jianguo left.
The old cat then began to take action.
Lao Mao's real name is Ma Renjie. In his youth, he was a key member of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau. After retiring, he became a private investigator.
In Beijing, he had a vast network of informants, from street vendors to government officials; there was almost no information he couldn't obtain.
After accepting Su Jianguo's commission.
Old Cat first sent two young assistants to follow Zhang Haiyang's relatives and family.
He personally kept an eye on Zhang Haiyang, who had just come out of the hospital.
Although Zhang Haiyang was missing an ear and had bandages wrapped around his arms and legs, his arrogance remained undiminished.
He returned to school the day after being discharged from the hospital, acting like a victim.
The old cat disguised itself as an old newspaper deliveryman and staked out the school gate.
After several days of surveillance.
He discovered that Zhang Haiyang would leave school alone every noon to go to the Sijiucheng Hotel.
They found out that Zhang Haiyang's older brother was in charge here.
The old cat squinted its eyes
"interesting."
at the same time..
His assistant, Xiao Liuzi, learned some important information at the school cafeteria.
Zhang Haiyang had a nickname at school: "Zhang the Skinflint." He not only withheld teachers' benefits but also frequently groped young female teachers.
"There was an English teacher named Liu Mei who suddenly resigned last year and went to the south, supposedly because she couldn't stand the harassment from Zhang Haiyang."
Xiao Liu reported.
The old cat's eyes lit up.
"Find Liu Mei's contact information; she might be a key witness."
Three days later, another of Lao Mao's assistants discovered a deliberately hidden complaint letter in the Education Bureau's archives.
Three years ago, a parent anonymously reported Zhang Haiyang for molesting a female student, but the investigation came to nothing.
"Find out who this parent is."
The old cat gave instructions.
"Also, find out where that female student from back then is now."
Clues piled up one by one, and Old Cat's file folder grew thicker and thicker.
He followed Zhang Haiyang to the Sijiucheng Hotel.
They took photos of him going in and out with different women.
He found Liu Mei, who had resigned. Although she was afraid of retaliation, she agreed to testify after Lao Mao promised to protect her safety.
He even uncovered evidence that Zhang Haiyang had embezzled school construction funds.
"This guy is even dirtier than I thought."
Old Cat looked at the investigation materials in his hand and gritted his teeth.
"He's an absolute beast. Not only did he embezzle and accept bribes, and sexually assault female students and teachers, but he's also suspected of misappropriating public funds for gambling."
...
While Lao Mao was diligently collecting evidence, Zhang Haiyang was also secretly taking action.
The ear injury kept him awake at night, and he could only rely on women to distract him and relieve the pain.
The burning desire for revenge kept him awake at night.
"Su Mingqiang, Su Jianguo, a stinking vegetable vendor, dare to threaten me?"
Zhang Haiyang lay in bed, gritting his teeth as he thought.
"I'll make you taste what it's like to lose everything!"
