"Bang bang..." A clear knock on the door sounded. The man in the office did not respond. The newspaper was covering his face, his long legs were draped on the desk, and he was sleeping completely.
"Bang bang bang bang..." The person who knocked on the door seemed to have exhausted his patience and knocked on the door hurriedly.
The man was finally awakened, grabbed the newspaper, showed an impatient expression, muttered something, and went to open the door. After opening the door, he yawned greatly.
There was a man and woman outside the door. They both looked impatient because they had been waiting for five minutes. They were about to complain, but they were speechless after seeing the man's appearance. They didn't expect the person they were going to see today. She actually has a beautiful face that can only be seen in the comic book world.
The man in front of me should be over 180 centimeters tall, with a thin build, fair to somewhat transparent skin, and a face that can be called "pretty". He seems to be the perfect male protagonist in a shoujo manga, but he is vaguely revealing. A kind of morbid condition, like recovering from a serious illness.
"Are you Fu Bao...detective?" Du Yuejuan asked hesitantly.
"I am." After answering, Fu Bao yawned again and secretly looked at the visitor with seemingly lazy eyes.
"My husband and I have contacted you before and want to entrust you to investigate a traffic accident. We hope that you can help us find evidence that the perpetrator committed murder. We will pay you a large reward." Du Yuejuan was a little excited, looking forward to it. .
It looked like he really wanted to bring the murderer to justice, but... there was still some desire hidden in his eyes.
Fu Bao calmly took away the brown paper bag from the middle-aged woman's hand, "I understand... just give me the file." Since he doesn't like to come into contact with human beings, Fu Bao's rules for accepting cases have a prerequisite - —Try to read only written information.
"I hope you can give us an answer as soon as possible..." Before Du Yuejuan could finish her words, the door in front of her had been closed with a bang.
"What kind of attitude?! This guy is really unreliable..." Li Jincai, who had remained silent the entire time, said in disgust.
“Everyone says he is the best detective here and his investigation results can be recognized by the police, so we came to him.
Getting the money is the most important thing, understand? "Du Yuejuan pulled her husband's hand hard and deliberately lowered her voice after speaking.
"But, if he investigates that matter..." Li Jincai rubbed his hands worriedly.
"Which thing? There is no such thing at all!" Du Yuejuan's face darkened, "Only the old guy deliberately hit that old woman to death! Let's go..." Li Jincai responded obediently and slowly left behind his wife's plump body. As I walked, I couldn't help but look back.
Can that pretty boy really find the evidence they want?
Fu Bao, who was sitting back at his desk, didn't hear the conversation outside the door. In fact, he was very sleepy now. Even through thick curtains, he still couldn't block the temperature of the sun. The sun made him very uncomfortable, but he was exposed to it during the day. During business hours, although he was somewhat famous, he was not able to stipulate that customers could only come in at night as he wished.
Yawning loudly again, Fu Bao opened the file casually, but the words on the file seemed to be beating, and it was difficult for him to read them.
This is a case of death caused by business negligence. The middle-aged couple just now are the daughter and son-in-law of the deceased.
The deceased died in a car accident. Li Jincai and his wife hope that he can investigate this case as a deliberate murder in order to receive more compensation.
The basis for Li Jincai and his wife's suspicion is that there is a subtle relationship between the perpetrator and the victim - they are a divorced couple.
In the data provided by Li Jincai and his wife, they vigorously exaggerated that their father was seeking revenge because he was not satisfied with the divorce and deliberately killed their mother. They also hoped to obtain strong evidence to prove that their father murdered their mother and then demanded high compensation.
This case was a little more interesting than the other thirteen cases that he had been asked to investigate, such as catching rapes, finding missing pets, and finding people, so Fu Bao decided that this was the case.
The case can solve the source of living expenses, and the interestingness of the case is an added value of his personal preference. However, this value cannot resist his aversion to the day and the sun. It was not until the sun went down for more than two hours that he had the energy to read through the information.
"Du Qiang, the truck driver who killed his ex-wife, is now lying in Charity Hospital..."
Charity hospital? Where have you heard it?
Fu Bao opened the curtains and looked out the window at the sky that had been occupied by the night. If he wanted to know more about the case, it was essential to go to the hospital for investigation.
After such thoughts passed through his mind, he suddenly remembered where he had heard the name of this hospital.
He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. In fact, there was only one number in his cell phone address book. It was considered a normal channel for him to connect with the normal human world. The call was quickly connected.
"Hey, come find me at twelve o'clock."
"Please, I have to go to work tomorrow. Do you think that everyone can sleep during the day like you? If you need anything, just say it on the phone. I'm very tired after a busy day..." The other party complained and noticed Fu Bao's silence. , and finally compromised: "Okay, but your home is too far away, so let's go to Zombie. I know you are afraid of noise, and zombies are usually very quiet..." On the other side of the phone was his only human friend, so Fu Bao was very considerate. After listening to the man's nagging complaints, he simply answered "ok" and hung up the phone.
After checking the time, he packed up the documents scattered on the table. After making sure that nothing was missing, he put them into a brown paper bag and left the office with the things.
Since he didn't like crowded places, Fu Bao deliberately took the No. 4 bus, which was rarely used by many people, even though the route taken by this bus would take him nearly forty minutes longer.
More than an hour later, Fu Bao arrived at the "Zombie" Bar on time. The place opened at eleven o'clock in the evening, which is midnight. It is said that the owner is a zombie and a descendant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He did not comment on this statement. After all, in In his opinion, zombies are rare animals.
The interior of the Zombie Bar is decorated with a "death" atmosphere. The high chairs next to the bar have tombstone patterns on the backs. The walls are old and mottled, and there are even large dark brown stains that appear to be dried by blood. The gloomy green lights bring a sense of gloom. .
The bartenders and waiters were all wearing ghost makeup and their faces were pale, and the meals and wine they served looked a bit like food for living people.
The guests who came here seemed to abide by certain rules, and most of them talked in low voices. The music flowing in the air was melancholy, as if a farewell ceremony was being held.
Fu Bao noticed that the decoration of the bar was particularly eerie today. After walking a few steps further, he saw a promotional poster and realized that it was a special decoration to celebrate the upcoming "Ghost Festival", which is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month and the Ghost Festival. , is a big day for ghosts and monsters, and it is also a special day for Fu Bao.
His appearance brightened the eyes of all the female customers in the bar. As the night progressed, Fu Bao's somewhat pale and unhealthy complexion seemed to glow.
The dreamlike beauty shone under the light. Several young girls looked at him from a distance. Soon, a representative came to him and said hello: "Handsome man, are you alone? Come and drink with us." A glass of wine.”
Fu Bao looked at the girl in front of him coldly. She was about twenty years old, with long hair dyed burgundy. The low-cut tight dress highlighted her curvy figure. She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, which made her covered by black translucent stockings. The beautiful long legs wrapped up look even more slender.
It's a pity...he doesn't like to be close to humans.
When faced with the beautiful girl's approach, he said with a stern and unmistakable expression: "I'm gay." His answer elicited a sigh of relief, "Ah, what a pity!"
"A good man is either married or gay. It is an unchanging truth."
The beautiful girl has not given up. Even if such a beautiful man is gay, he can just look at her and make other women envy her.
Fu Bao accurately saw the other party's intention to continue to pester, so he pointed to the other end, where a man shrank his body with force, "My boyfriend is over there."
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned away. When they saw an ordinary man who would definitely not be found in a crowd, they all tacitly felt extremely disappointed and let out a sigh, especially the beautiful girl, gritting her teeth. He gave the man a hard look.
