There was a cup of Americano coffee in front of Chu Zihan. She rarely came to this kind of drink shop. For her, the best drink in the world was boiled water. However, she often accompanied Chu Zihan during holidays. She knew that in this kind of drink shop, It is also impolite to sit down in a restaurant. The only way to make yourself look like you are not just enjoying the air conditioning is by ordering something.
She looked out the window. The traces of the heavy rain had slowly receded. The floor tiles on the street were still wet, and the sky was still not clearing up. Every few years, it would rain for a long time in this city before it stopped, like the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Passers-by would occasionally notice her and mistake her for a celebrity or something. She did dress up a little today. Her silver four-leaf clover earrings were dangling, and her long organza skirt was too short in the front and too long in the back. Rules, so as not to cover up the beautiful curves of your legs, and dress appropriately for a date.
Many people say that she has a naturally melancholy temperament. Especially when she is not thinking, her eyebrows become more charming. She is like a princess lying on a high building in a castle and looking far away. People passing by often change their original purpose and go into the store to have a drink. , took the opportunity to look at it a few more times, hesitating whether to come up and ask for a phone number or something. Invisibly, she became the temporary signature of this store.
When she had her second cup of coffee, someone finally sat down opposite Chu Zihan. It was a man wearing a signature suit and carrying his own briefcase. At first glance, he looked like a bank manager.
"Is Miss Chu Zihan right?" the man asked in a low voice.
"I am." Chu Zihan nodded. The man was wearing sunglasses, and she couldn't see his eyes clearly. It felt a bit like the two parties were having a connection... although they were indeed here to have a connection.
He opened his briefcase, put the pile of documents inside on the table, and pushed it towards Chu Zihan.
"I am a detective employee who was invited to investigate your biological father, Chu Tianjiao. Here are the results of our investigation. We already have perfect answers to what you want to know."
The document was very detailed and looked like a financial report of a certain company. It was well organized. Chu Zihan flipped through the report and listened to the man's explanation.
"Chu Tianjiao does have some amazing secrets. It was very difficult during the investigation because we found that he actually has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Whether it is his own residence or the car he usually drives, he will check whether there are any Traces of other people's intrusion. This is obviously not a skill that a driver should have. We have to mobilize more people and use some novel technological methods. For this reason, the cost of this investigation will increase by 30%. I hope you understand." The man said slightly said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can tell me something that satisfies me, money is not an issue." Chu Zihan said lightly.
Chu Tianjiao is Chu Zihan's biological father. To this day, he still has contact with Chu Zihan. He is a driver who drives a special car for the boss of the famous local company Black Prince Group.
It sounds weird for a biological daughter to ask a detective to investigate her biological father. Chu Zihan has always believed that there are many hidden secrets in the divorce of his parents. They claimed that it was a financial problem. His father was just a driver and did not seek to make progress. He only had so much money every month and could not meet his mother's living needs.
However, Chu Zihan did not accept this statement. Chu Tianjiao's daily life was always well arranged. His daily job was to drive a special car for the big boss. Although the boss's special car had the obligation to be on call, he would not let his subordinates There was no rest time at all, but the time Chu Tianjiao returned every day was never fixed. Sometimes Chu Zihan could even smell some weird bloody smell on him.
Only recently did she remember that the smell seemed familiar. The thing she met a few days ago had a similar smell to Chu Tianjiao. As soon as she received the call from the detectives today, she rushed over. Anyway, it was not far away. Not far either.
"Please turn to page five," the man said.
Chu Zihan flipped through the information, and there was a photo on the fifth page that took up most of the page. It looked like a badge, a lushly growing World Tree.
"Badge?" Chu Zihan asked.
"To be precise, it should be regarded as the school emblem." The man said, "There is a record about it on page eight. We found the source of this school emblem. It comes from a private university called Cassel College in Illinois, USA."
The eighth page is a screenshot of the website. The URL column says www.cassell.edu. It is full of photos of the college, including the library of Cassell College, the sports hall of Cassell College, and the concert hall of Cassell College. The college in the photo has a quaint style, like a completely renovated castle.
"That is to say, my father is from this college." Chu Zihan nodded to show his approval for the results of the detective work.
"This badge represents the World Tree. Among all the large and small organizations that exist openly in the world, we can only find this one." There was a sense of pride in the man's tone. As private detectives, they are already the leading company in Shanghai and have the ability to do so. Launch a worldwide search. When I first took on this task, I thought it was very simple, and the price quoted was not high. But as I continued to get deeper, I found that this task was quite challenging, and every detective was full of enthusiasm.
"Is there anything else?"
"We also invaded Mr. Chu Tianjiao's residence. He set up a self-destruct mechanism on his door lock. The door lock is just an illusion. If the key is inserted and does not rotate in the correct way, the glue inside will block the keyhole. ." The man adjusted his sunglasses, "But now there are more than just traditional methods of unlocking. We use laser equipment to scan the internal structure of the keyhole. Professional unlocking masters can perfectly solve this problem without worrying about being discovered. In We found a secret basement in Mr. Chu Tianjiao’s residence.”
On the seventeenth page, there is a weapons collection rack, including pistols, double-barreled shotguns, rifles and submachine guns. Finally, there is even an exaggerated Gatling. Everything is as shiny as new, and the supporting tools for maintenance are placed on the table.
Corresponding to this photo is a row of shelves. What is on the shelf is not umbrellas and daily necessities, but a row of cold swords. Unlike those old antiques placed in museums, it is obvious that any one here is truly deadly. weapon.
Chu Zihan stopped flipping through the information. She didn't expect that her father would hide these things secretly. Any one of them would be enough to convict him according to the law. Could it be that he was actually a dangerous thug?
"According to the confidentiality agreement, these information can only be reviewed by the detectives involved in the search and you. No matter what we find, we will not make a fuss. This is the basic quality of this industry." The man seemed to see through Chu Zihan's inner thoughts and explained appropriately, The other person looks very mature, but in fact he is only fifteen years old, which can still be regarded as a child. The man feels that he has an obligation to explain.
"Thank you." Chu Zihan took out a bank card from his bag and swiped it towards the man, "The remuneration will be increased by 30% as agreed. These things already satisfy me very much. Could you please compile all the information? , sent to my mailbox."
"It's a pleasure to do business with you." The man put away the card with a professional smile on his face, "We will also provide complete after-sales service. For example, if you are interested in the future and want to take a look in person, We can do it for you. That’s it for today. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you next time.”
He collected the information and left in a hurry. This is often the case in the detective industry. It is easy to offend someone inadvertently. He does not dare to take on every business, so he has to wear sunglasses and always moves quickly.
The waiter came and put a new cup of coffee on Chu Zihan's table. She recalled what she had just seen in her mind. Sure enough, her father had been hiding something from herself and her mother. He had another side of his life. , the identity of the driver is just his disguise. Therefore, he cannot work hard like ordinary people and regard making big money as his only goal.
A man has been married for so many years, but his family doesn’t even know his true face. This kind of thing will make people a little scared if you think about it carefully. Just like in the news, the wife only knew her husband after decades of living in the countryside. It turned out that he was once a fugitive.
Who would hide so many guns and knives in their home? It's not possible for ordinary criminals or drug lords, right? Who is he?
The detective turned the corner and boarded a black business car parked on the side of the road. The moment the car door closed, the bright blade was already placed on his neck. The man raised his hand obediently. The detectives' cars were all single-handed. Through the glass, people outside can't see what's going on inside.
"All done?" The man holding the knife was in the back seat, and the long knife in his hand could stab the front directly and accurately. This is a man with an average appearance. It is often difficult to find him in a crowd. He has no characteristics to speak of. But once he holds a knife in his hand, he is different. His temperament, his eyes, and his voice seem to be everywhere. Everything can override the will of ordinary people.
The detective actually had a gun in his arms, but he knew very well that he could not resist this man. He did draw the gun when they first met, and then he saw an incredible scene. The bullet split in two from the middle and lost its kinetic energy. Bounce to the walls on both sides.
That can already be regarded as a superman. Ordinary people have no chance of winning in front of a superman.
"According to your instructions, it was perfect. Chu Zihan didn't find anything abnormal." The detective licked his lips, "Seriously, why didn't you give those things to her in person? Or explain it directly to her face, instead It must be borrowed from us."
You can see the appearance of the man holding the knife in the rearview mirror of the car. There is no doubt that he is the protagonist who appeared in that document not long ago, Chu Tianjiao, Chu Zihan's biological father.
The detectives concealed part of the facts from Chu Zihan. They did investigate the World Tree school badge and Kassel College, and successfully invaded Chu Tianjiao's residence. But when they left the small house, Chu Tianjiao was standing in the corridor. There was a long knife with a cold light in his hand.
Everyone was defeated by Chu Tianjiao. The detectives once felt that they were definitely doomed. Monsters that couldn't even deal with guns would definitely die. It was easy to offend people in this line of work, and sooner or later there would be a possibility of overturning. They didn't expect that. It will come so quickly.
However, Chu Tianjiao didn't hurt them. He just brought these people to his small room and conducted an interrogation. When he learned that it was his daughter Chu Zihan who paid to investigate him, Chu Tianjiao's face changed. His expression was unpredictable, making it impossible for the detectives to figure out what the man was thinking.
What happened later was very simple. The information the detective taught Chu Zihan and the words he described to Chu Zihan were all handwritten by Chu Tianjiao. The detective's brothers were still in Chu Tianjiao's hands. Having to violate his professional ethics like this, Chu Tianjiao promised that as long as he complied, he and his brothers would be safe.
"Do you have children?" Chu Tianjiao actually laughed lightly.
"Not yet, my wife is a DINK." The detective said carefully.
"That's really pitiful, so you won't understand this feeling." Chu Tianjiao took back the long knife, "My daughter is very smart, far ahead of her peers. She can sense that there is something wrong with her father, and even knows How to solve it. How can I bear to let my baby girl suffer? Of course, let her find the answer she wants and constantly encourage her to move forward. Brother, I suggest you convince your wife to have a child, and wait until you have a daughter You will understand that they are really daddy’s caring little cotton-padded jackets.”
What a crazy man, doing such a troublesome thing just to brag about his daughter? The detective really had nothing to say, but he had to admit that Chu Zihan was indeed very good. That kind of girl didn't look like she was fifteen at all. He believed that if he had a child, he would never look like Chu Zihan when he was fifteen. Zihan is so mature and restrained.
"Who are you?" He was complaining in his heart, but he was still respectful. The detective had never heard of anyone who could chop bullets with a knife. He was also very curious about Chu Tianjiao's true identity. Since Chu Tianjiao looked like There was no malice, and he was a little bolder.
"Knowing too much is not a good thing for you. I believe you will keep this matter secret, right? Whether it is from Chu Zihan, your brother, or the boss of the company behind you."
Chu Tianjiao patted the detective's shoulder vigorously. This was something the detective had never experienced before. He felt like a nail. Every time Chu Tianjiao patted him, he would drive an inch into the seat. The power was simply unbelievable.
"Keeping secrets is our professional ethics!" The detective nodded quickly.
"That's good." Chu Tianjiao showed a satisfied smile, "Hurry up and drive to pick up your brothers. They are under the bridge on the national highway in the east of the city and haven't eaten anything for a while. I suggest you buy some when you go there. Take a lunch box and buy some water."
Before the detective had time to say yes, he suddenly noticed that the figure in the rearview mirror was gone. When he turned around, he only saw the closed door. It seemed that no one had ever been in the car.
He subconsciously touched his shoulder, which was still raw and sore. Only this feeling could prove that all the conversations just now were not hallucinations.
