Chapter 11 Finding Objects
There is a restaurant on Burning Street, there is a cafe.There is a 50-centimeter-wide staircase in the middle of the restaurant and the cafe, and you will find the Rose Detective Agency when you go up the stairs.The area of ​​the detective agency is not small. The upstairs of the cafe is the office, the old-fashioned single sofa, the wall clock, the bookshelf, the fireplace, the rocking chair, and the antique style.Upstairs of the restaurant is the reception area, modern sofas, coffee tables, toilets, and a lounge of about ten square meters.

Assuming that he can't find a job within a month, Liang Xi decided to move to a detective agency and reduce his expected salary to [-] pounds.It is impossible to sell the detective agency, at least when John was alive, Liang Xi would not consider selling the detective agency.

To tell the truth, Liang Xi really likes the detective agency.He especially likes to sit in the rocking chair by the fireplace, with the help of the fire, drink a cup of hot tea and hold a book.But such a life is not only addictive, but also degenerate, making Liang Xi an otaku.Without earning money, Liang Xi was not qualified to be an otaku.

Another week passed, and not only were there no recruiting calls, but the detective agency didn't have any business.This time he changed his strategy: cast part-time.Throw your CV on a £10-an-hour job.

After handing out the flyers, bah!After sending out the resume, there was a long-lost knock on the door.

Liang Xi opened the door, and a man about 50 years old came in. The man saw Liang Xi take off his hat, and Liang Xi noticed that he had a bluetooth headset hanging on his left ear."Is John there?" the man asked.

If you are an old customer and friend of John, you should know that John didn't come to the detective agency very often a few years ago. If necessary, you can only contact John by phone.Obviously this man was not a regular customer, so Liang Xi invited him to step in and replied, "John has retired, can I help?"

The man looked at Liang Xi with some doubts. He was eight meters tall, with a childish face and sophisticated eyes. He couldn't see how capable Liang Xi was.But the man didn't think about it for a long time and said, "Of course you can."

"Please come inside." Liang Xi led the guests to the living room to sit down.

The guests didn't talk nonsense. After sitting down and introducing each other, the guest who called himself Richard said, "I'm looking for something."

Liang Xi put the mineral water in front of the guests and asked, "What?"

Richard explained the situation, he is a lawyer called the screw company.The screw company has a factory in the London industrial area, and it mainly produces large screws on a daily basis.There is a 17-story apartment not far from the factory, which is the workers' dormitory.A golf club took a fancy to the screw company's site and bought it.

According to the plan, the screw company will relocate the factory and the company to the Manchester industrial area, and the apartment building will be demolished in three days.Richard wants to ask Liang Xi to look for something in the apartment building.

Richard himself didn't know what the thing looked like, he said: "A storage device may be a mobile phone card, a flash memory, a mobile hard disk, or an abandoned computer. Just connect the thing to the right one. On the storage, there will be an interface for entering the password, and there is a small sailboat on the interface.”

Liang Xi thought that Richard didn't tell the truth, Liang Xi said sincerely: "Richard, in a 17-storey apartment with a lot of garbage left, it is almost impossible to find something that you can't describe clearly. . You should tell me more."

Richard thought for a while and said: "Well, it is a storage device that stores the financial information of the screw company. Selling the London land and buying the Manchester land, the company has carried out a legal tax avoidance behavior. This behavior is misunderstood as tax evasion."

The person who misunderstood was a deputy financial director named Cai Wu, a 33-year-old female who lived on the 15th floor of the apartment building.Cai Wu did not call the police after getting the evidence, but blackmailed the screw company.The screw company sent someone to negotiate with Cai Wu. Cai Wu told the screw company that the things were in the apartment building, and she could take someone to get the evidence immediately after paying the money.And make sure no one else knows about it.

The two parties discussed the issue of price. Because the expected amount differed by one digit, Cai Wu gave the screw company three days to let the company think about it before contacting her. She did not want to waste time.Unexpectedly, Cai Wu died in a car accident on the way back to the apartment.The screw company dispatched personnel for three days without finding anything.Three days later, the employees had all moved out of the apartment building, and the blasting company took over the apartment building.After a week of measurements and calculations, the demolition company will install explosives to demolish the apartment building in three days.

Therefore, the screw company asked a lawyer to find professional assistance. Richard asked John to handle a case more than ten years ago, so he came to the door today.

Richard said: "We can provide detailed information on the former residents of the apartment building, including the residence of Cai Wu's friends in the company. However, we have not obtained the consent of the blasting company. If you enter the apartment building to look for items and are caught, the screw company I will never admit it. From the professional point of view of a lawyer, I can tell you that it is not a big problem. Because the management right of the apartment building you invaded is a demolition company, if a case is filed to investigate your illegal invasion, the apartment building will not be demolished on time. ."

Ha ha!Are you funny?You can’t find the thing that threatens your company. Not only do you not secretly have fun, but you also mobilize the company’s people to look for it, for fear that not enough people will know?Now I'm looking for a detective, trying everything I can to find it out.

Liang Xiwei: "I'm a detective, and I don't do anything illegal."

Richard said nothing, unzipped his briefcase and put a stack of £50 notes on the coffee table: "Five thousand as advance. If you can find what we need, you can also get ten thousand. "

us?Liang Xi can capture the details very well. From what Richard said, Liang Xi knew that Richard was not alone.So Richard's group must have tried to find a way to rummage through the apartment.Because the apartment building is about to be demolished, they are now desperately ill.This money can be taken, but it is impossible to take, the key is how to operate.If you think you can lie down and sleep after taking the five thousand advance payment, you are wrong.

Liang Xi thought for a while: "I don't need to pay in advance. After I find something, I want [-] pounds."

Liang Xi sat on the ground to raise the price and waited for the other party to return the money.Unexpectedly, Richard agreed: "Deal."

Richard took out a business card with only a phone number and a website: "The information is in this website, download the password six six. After you find something, call this phone number. By the way: the insider can only be you alone."

Liang Xi said half-jokingly, "You guys wouldn't set a trap in an apartment building to dig out a kidney, would you?"

Richard was startled: "Ah? What?"

Liang Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, the detective's joke."
