The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 2 New Jobs

"Who! People are scary and scary!" I shouted, and I looked over, and I couldn't help being stunned.

Isn't this the guy who holds the doll during the day?
Why is he here?
I looked around at the deserted streets, and when I thought about this man's strange behavior during the day, I felt my heart pounding, and my subconscious told me to stay away from him.

The man grinned at me again as in the daytime, looked at me with folded arms, and said, "What are you doing standing in front of my house?"

His door?

I took a look at this office, and finally said: "This office is... opened by you?"

The other party nodded, and said: "I remember you, we met during the day, it seems that there is a fate, why, you came to find a job?" I nodded subconsciously, but in fact, I already regretted it in my heart , even if I really need a job, it doesn't mean I can accept such a weird boss.

Before I could speak, he said, "Well, come in."

I said: "No, I think I should look for other jobs, yours may not be suitable for me." I planned to run away.

The other party was quite surprised, and said: "Is the condition I offered not good?"

very good……

No academic qualifications required.

Unlimited skills.

four thousand.

It also includes food and accommodation.

For a dick like me, this is a blessing in disguise.

But I'm not a fool. If you want to earn money, you also have to spend your life, right?

Facing my hesitation, he said again: "I am in urgent need of manpower here, don't worry, what you are doing is serious business, don't rush to refuse, why not come in and take a look." Then he smiled again, showing his white teeth .This man was cleanly dressed, and he seemed to like to smile. He had a good appearance. If he hadn't seen his weird behavior during the day, just in terms of appearance and speech, this man was very friendly.

While speaking, he opened the door and turned on the light. In no time, the situation of the office's living room was displayed in front of my eyes.

Simple and clean, you can see the bottom line at a glance, it doesn't look like you are doing illegal business.

Coupled with the delay, the surrounding night markets were also opened, and the surrounding gradually became lively, so I didn't have so many worries, so I followed into the office.

The other party began to introduce himself and briefly described the work.

There are two bosses in this 'Tan Xuan Office'. The one in front of me is Zhou Xuanye, and the other boss is Tan, who is currently on a business trip.The location of the office is not far from my rented place. Zhou Xuanye likes to wander around when he is free. It is said that he is looking for potential clients, so we will meet by chance during the day. The chance of this is not small.

In addition to the two bosses, there are also two employees who are also on business trips.The reason why I was recruited was mainly because the people in the firm often travel on business, and they needed a shopkeeper, so they didn't need any professional skills, as long as they had a decent character.

As he said that, Zhou Xuanye smiled at me again, and said, "I think your character is not bad. If you have no problems, you can come to work directly. I will be on a business trip the day after tomorrow."

My character is good?

So far, we have only met twice and exchanged a few words. How does he see that I have a good character?So the credibility of this statement is naturally not high.But then, he showed me around the office, and there was really nothing suspicious. I was a little moved, but a little hesitant.

The main reason is still during the day.

Zhou Xuanye seemed to see my hesitation, he yawned, and said: "Big man, what are you doing coyly, you are not a woman, so why am I still flirting with you?" When he said this, I also felt that I was too I'm being hypocritical, thinking about a monthly salary of [-], and I can save at least [-] a month. After two years of saving, I have tens of thousands of dollars in my hand, and I can do some small business or learn something to improve myself. How good it is Things, after passing this village, there is no such shop.

After much deliberation, he agreed without being able to withstand the temptation.

The next day, I moved my things and officially moved into the office.

On the third day, before I got to know this place thoroughly, Zhou Xuanye had already carried a big black bag and was wearing outdoor equipment, and was about to go on a business trip just by throwing me a key.I doubt very much whether he is going on a business trip or a tourist with his outfit.

Before leaving, he confessed: "If someone comes to consult, just leave your phone number and wait for me to deal with it when you come back. Of course, if other people from the firm come back first, you can also find them."

It has been a week since Zhou Xuanye left, and there is no news at all. I am working in the office, and it is better to say that I am wandering around alone than going to work.I tried to look through the files of the firm, but found that almost every file was locked.

Fortunately, there is a computer here. Except for the files, the rest of the things are open to me, so I don't feel bored.

To be honest, I think Zhou Xuanye is too strange.

Who would hand over the keys of their own office to an employee who has only been here for a day and doesn't know the basics?

I always wonder if I have been deceived, but the question is, what can I be deceived about?

On the fifth day, the first customer finally came to the door.

It was a female customer in her 40s. When she came in, her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed to have been crying for a long time.She looked at the office with doubts in her eyes, but immediately, she took a breath and said, "I can't help it. I heard people say that your place is very spiritual. You should treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Very smart?

What do you mean?
Zhou Xuanye told me that this firm is similar to a private investigation, helping people find lost people or items, but Zhou Xuanye did not elaborate on how they work, after all, I am just a shopkeeper.

So I asked her, "So, what are you looking for?"

The middle-aged woman took out a photo, in which was a little girl about six or seven years old, with two soft braids, smiling very cutely.This reminded me of my younger sisters who would surround me and call Brother Tian Gu every time I went to the orphanage, my heart suddenly softened, and I said, "The child got lost?"

Actually, I think this kind of thing should go to the police. Zhou Xuanye's office, plus I only have five people, how can we find a lost child?

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "A year ago, I took my daughter to the East Gate for shopping, but I lost it and never found it again." As she spoke, she seemed about to cry again.Dongmen Old Street is a famous bustling market in Shenzhen. It is crowded with people and it is easy to get lost.

I was very surprised, and said, "Has been missing for a year? Didn't you report it?"

She gave me a strange look, and said with a sob: "If it's useful to find the police, why do you come to you? Do you know how many missing persons cases are there every year? Most of the cases can't be solved in a lifetime. The power of the police is also limited."

To be honest, I haven't learned anything about this, so I really don't know how many people go missing every year.

Immediately afterwards, she paused, and then said: "I only heard about you from people. I heard that you have a unique way to find people. As long as you can find my daughter, you can pay as much as you want."

A unique way of finding people?

The more I hear it the more it sounds like a hoax.

Zhou Xuanye and his group, they must not be some kind of scam gang, right?

What the police can't solve, can they do?
According to the formula, I left the middle-aged woman's phone number and her daughter's photo. When I was about to say goodbye, a person suddenly appeared at the door.

This man is tall, about 30 years old, and the outline of his face is like a knife and an axe, giving people a sense of chilling and chilling. At this moment, he is standing at the door with an expressionless face, and his dark eyes look coldly at him. Looking at us, for a moment, I thought someone was coming to seek revenge.

But soon I realized that this person was not an enemy, but another boss of this firm: Tan Ren.

Because there are photos of the four of them on the wall of the office.

I stood up and shouted dryly: "Boss Tan." The other party seemed to know my existence, nodded, walked in, put the bag on the sofa next to him, ignored me at all, and sat down On the boss chair on one side, he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, then cast a sideways glance at the middle-aged woman, and said, "Sit down."

Anyone who treats customers with this attitude will probably be unhappy, but this person surnamed Tan has a very special aura on him. If you want to describe it, it is probably a kind of aura of a superior, making it difficult for people to have the courage to refuse.

So, not to mention me, the middle-aged woman was obviously also shocked. After Tan Ren finished speaking, she sat down, and I couldn't help being a little speechless.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the middle-aged woman to ask questions, Tan Ren glanced at me and said lightly, "Give her the paper and pen."

I quickly handed over the pen and paper.

The middle-aged woman held a pen and asked, "What do you want to write?"

Tan Ren said: "First write your daughter's birth year, month, day, and hour."

I suddenly felt confused, why did I ask about my birthday when I didn’t ask about the missing time and where I disappeared?But when the boss talked, I naturally didn't have much to say, so I stood aside.

The middle-aged woman wrote: "November 2005, 11 at X o'clock." Due to privacy and confidentiality, the specific date of birth will not be disclosed.

Tan Ren nodded, shook the soot, and said, "Name."

The middle-aged woman wrote the word Gu Xin.

Tan Yan looked at it, didn't speak for a long time, his brows were slightly clustered, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but I noticed that the fingers of his other hand on the sofa began to shake, as if he was calculating something thing.

Then he closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.

The middle-aged woman finally realized that she was dissatisfied with Tan Ren's behavior. Just when she seemed to get angry, Tan Yan opened his eyes, shook the cigarette ash, and said, "Choose between 'a dragon' or 'asking the way'?" ?”

One-stop?

Ask for directions?

What does this mean?
