Full service costs 9,900 yuan, and as a preliminary investigation, you must pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan first. I held a cigarette in my mouth and scrutinized the girl in front of . Her small face looked immature against the school uniform, and she was thin and flat-chested.
Under my gaze, the girl beca uncomfortable and said, One thousandI only have 70 yuan on . Can I pay you the rest when I have more money?
70 is fine. Leave the money on the table, and you can go. Ill get back to you in three days.
You Youre not a scamr, are you? The girl was hesitant, and the seventy dollars in her palm was already drenched in her sweat.
Under the trust of others, we do honest work with efficiency, integrity, and confidentiality as our guiding principles. Your previous statent is questioning my professional ethics. I snatched the money from the girls hand and waved her off.
At this point, I believe many people would misunderstand and think that Im a scoundrel who bullies minors and lures young girls. But thats not the case. Everything Im doing is to help this young girl.
My na is Gao Jian, and Im the owner of this adult toy store. Of course, the term owner was just a disguise. My real identity is a private detective.
We handle missing persons and corpse searches, corporate espionage, anti-counterfeiting and litigation support, extramarital affairs investigations, and various non-litigation cases. Our firm accepts all types of cases.
Returning to the main topic, the girl who ca seeking help earlier was called Xia Qingzhi, a high school student boarding the best high school in this city.
The reason she appeared here was also because of an incredible matter.
My brother Xia Chi disappeared a week ago, and I suspect he has been murdered. As soon as she entered, the girl looked anxious and frightened.
You should report this as a criminal case to the police. I glanced at her, thinking that a high school student wouldnt have much money, and I imdiately lost interest.
I tried everything, but calling the police was useless. No one rembers my brothers existence, not even in the household registration investigation. He disappeared like he never existed. All traces of him have been wiped out.
So, you an to say that the mories of your brother only exist in your mind? The girl didnt seem to be lying, and that was the scariest part.
Yes, everyone has forgotten about my brother, except for
After lighting a cigarette, I took a deep drag of the smoke.
If what the girl said is true, then there are only two possibilities: either there were supernatural paranormal events at work, or the girl had a severe case of schizophrenia and had a twisted personality of her own brother hidden within her.
Did your brother show any unusual or strange behavior before he went missing? At this point, only following the other persons words could lead to additional clues, and I was in no hurry.
One week ago, my brother was invited to an interview for a live streaming platform and never ca back. The girl took out a very ordinary card from her pocket, which was crumpled and looked similar to the small advertisents for drain repairs and fake dicine on the roadside railing.
Do you aspire to beco a highly acclaid celebrity? Do you want to have millions of fans idolizing you?
Beco a contracted host for the Underworld show and open your own live streaming room.
As long as you have the courage, talent, and ti.
You can turn all your dreams into reality from the comfort of your own ho!
The Underworld Show, what a unique na, I studied the card repeatedly and beca even more skeptical that this was so mischievous prank by a troublemaker. I wont even comnt on the company na; after all, just take a look at the back of the card. The interview ti for this live streaming platform was from midnight to 3 a.m., and the interview location was in Room 444 on the 4th underground floor of No. 44 No-Light Road. This series of numbers for ti and location didnt seem like it was ant for normal people.
Do you think Im making this up too? The girls reaction at the ti was on the brink of despair, and I could see both disappointnt and terror in her eyes.
No, nobody has the right to co to a conclusion without first conducting a thorough investigation. Even if it was just for the few tens of Yuan on her, I had to say this because my firm hasnt had any clients for two months straight, and with the rise of self-service sex toy machines, the inco of adult toy stores has been declining. If things continue like this, Ill soon be unable to afford rent.
Underworld Show In recent years, live streaming platforms have beco increasingly popular. So strears broadcast food, so stream gas, and so show off their seductive skills, tempting pure-hearted losers. All of this could be comprehended, but from the na Underworld Show, it was impossible to tell what their main content was.
Could it be a daily live stream of dead people?
Shaking my head with a smile, I urged Xia Qingzhi to leave. The high school girl had been staying at my adult store for too long, and it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, especially since she was not yet eighteen years old.
As I lifted the thick military coat used as a door curtain, Xia Qingzhi was about to leave but collided with a woman exuding a strong female charm all over her body.
I-Im sorry. Xia Qing covered her face with her backpack, realizing that the adult store was not where she should be, and fled like a bird in flight.
Do even high school students buy your products? The womans voice was pleasant, and it sounded vaguely familiar to .
Whether to buy or not is soone elses freedom, and I have no right to interfere. The woman in front of was indeed a beauty, with delicate and fair ankles on high-heeled sandals, tightly toned calves, and the lace hem of her long, loose skirt floating in mid-air. Although it was a loose skirt, it couldnt hide her proud curves, and her figure and temperant were excellent. She wore a mask and sunglasses, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
However, I was already used to it. People who ca here might have their own secrets. If the other party does not want to reveal their identity, I will not force them. Being kind and friendly would bring prosperity, and as long as they paid, they could do almost anything.
The woman was stylishly dressed and elegant, wearing a full set of branded clothing. The handbag she carried was probably a Louis Vuitton from Paris; just that bag alone was worth my entire years rent.
I wonder what this beautiful lady needs? The store is about to be sold due to poor managent, and all products are on a steep discount of 20% off, I said.
Im sorry, I dont need anything. Im just here to find soone, the woman said as she removed her mask and sunglasses. Gao Jian, its been five years, and you havent changed one bit.
As soon as I saw that face, the cigarette in my hand fell to the ground. Ye Bing?
She was my first love, and back when we were in the police academy, our overall scores always ranked first and second respectively.
But later, I was expelled from the academy due to my involvent in a serial murder case, while she completed her studies smoothly and was sent abroad for further education with the help of her new boyfriend.
Its been five years since weve seen each other, and youve turned from a sparrow into a phoenix, a complete goddess. I lit up another cigarette and observed the swirling smoke as I spoke: You changed your phone number and cut off all contact with . I thought you were in a plane crash and had sunk in the Pacific Ocean.
It seems like five years wasnt enough to break your habit of being snarky. I admit that what I did was wrong, but I dont regret it. The beautiful woman smiled, exuding maturity and confidence with every gesture, making n feel impulsive.
Is that so? Then why did you co back? Dont tell you want to reignite our old fla and relive the passionate years. I stared unabashedly at Ye Bings curvaceous figure.
I ca here today with the intention of having a proper conversation with you, but given your current circumstances, it seems unnecessary.
She didnt respond and instead took out a bank card from her purse, placing it on the table. Theres 100,000 yuan in this card as an apology for leaving without saying goodbye all those years ago. Gao Jian, were not young anymore. Its ti to move on from our mories and face reality.
In three days, Jiang Shao and I will be having our wedding at the Century New Garden. If you have the ti, youre welco to co. After all, Ive just returned to the country and dont have many friends in this city.
Ye Bings tone was casual, as if she was describing sothing mundane. However, I could sense a profound disdain and disappointnt hidden in her eyes. In that mont, I found myself speechless.
There was no anger, no pain, and no hysterics shown from my side. I simply took a drag of my cigarette and said, You can take the card. Ill be there on ti in three days.
I didnt know when Ye Bing had left the store. All I knew was that after finishing a box of cigarettes, my lungs felt hot and raw.
Theres nothing to complain about. Soone can easily surpass my entire net worth with just one card. Instead of feeling angry and helpless in the face of peoples disdainful looks, I might as well focus on what I could do at the mont.
I placed the small advertisent that Xia Qingzhi left next to my computer. It was the only business Ive had in the past two months. Although the client was a minor and might have so ntal issues, I could not afford to ss this up. Simply because I needed the money.
