Li Ze nodded and then Liu Mi took out her mobile phone from her bag.
After finding the female friend whom she had not connected with for nearly half a year, Liu Mi called her.
Liu Mi felt awkward listening to the other party’s “Mouse Love Rice” ring.
After all, the song had not been popular for a long time.
The other party only answered with half a minute later.
“Yo?”
After hearing the other party’s confused voice, Liu Mi said, “I’m Liu Mi. We used to work together in Changshi Furniture Store. Do you remember me?”
“Xiaomi? May I ask what you need? ”
“I want to ask you something,” Liu Mi said. “I remember you found a private investigator before. I want to ask where you found him. Ang what about the price.”
“It’s been a long time. I don’t remember much about it. I just remember that private detective’s first name was Shi. I don’t know his complete name. ”
“Shi Jiajie?”
“Right!”
“How about this person?”
“It’s okay,” the other side said, “I asked him to help me find evidence of my boyfriend’s another affair. He spent almost a week. After all, he was pretty awesome. He even got the video my boyfriend and his lover getting a room in the hotel. He called me to go to the hotel to catch them, but I was on a business trip in Tianjin at that time, so I let him help me. However, he’s especially greedy, and he’s still bargaining with me. He said it’s against the law to enter others’ house and resisted to get. When I asked what I should do, he said that as long as I paid him three thousand yuan more, he would kick the door and record the whole process. I promised him. Then I receive the video from him less than half an hour later. He used to be a policeman so he was particularly good at keeping the evidence. He even collected all the toilet paper that was stained with my boyfriend’s sperm. After receiving the evidence, my boyfriend was very frightened. He still hugged my leg like a woman and asked for forgiveness. I will not forgive this man who betrayed me, so I directly kicked him out. ”
“Then what’s the fee?”
“Two thousand a day,” She said.
“The whole video?”
“Whole video?” After a few seconds, she said, “If I remember correctly, it was 4000 yuan a day.”
“Not 5000 yuan a day?”
“Four thousand. I remember now. It’s just doubled.”
“Mm, thank you.”
“Xiaomi, are you investigating your boyfriend?”
“I’m a single lady. I have no boyfriend.”
“Then why are you looking for a private investigator?”
“Investigating something else. Are you still in Xiamen?”
“My husband is doing business here in Harbin, and I came with him at the end of last year. If you come to Harbin, remember to call me. I can be a tour guide. If you have a trip with the team or trip yourself, you’ll be charged. ”
“Mm, thank you. I’ll go look for Shi Jiajie. ”
“Alright, bye bye!”
Liu Mi had roughly explained the details to Li Ze after hanging up.
After listening, Li Ze said, “It looked like this Shi Jiajie has some real abilities, but he’s too greedy.”
“So we can still trust him.”
“Let’s go back then.”
“Right.”
Shi Jiajie, who was sitting in his office drinking the tea for Li Ze, had a gloomy expression on his face when they went upstairs, because a business had slipped away. Aithough the profitability of a single transaction is high, the transaction can not be received every day. If he couldn’t even receive business within a few days, then this investigation firm would definitely have a loss. Of course, compared to the previous few years, the business of the investigation firms had been better. Firstly, there are more and more couple has an affair. Secondly, the number of divorce cases involving the division of property is increasing. Thirdly, the average salary is increasing recently. So people who came here are not lack of money
“Welcome!”
After hearing the sweet voice of Xiaomei, Shi Jiajie, who knew there comes a business, stood up immediately.
He was just about to go round the desk when the door opened.
Seeing Li Ze and Liu Mi walking in, Shi Jiajie hurriedly placed Li Ze’s tea in front of Li Ze’s seat.
Li Ze saw Shi Jiajie’s action. The muscles on his face twitched.
“Welcome back,” Shi Jiajie chuckled. “How is it? Have you decided to let me help you deal with the marriage problem? ”
“I just had a friend who called me, and she said you were very efficient,” Liu Mi continued. “Of course, she said you were a little greedy. Actually, this was normal. Every businessman is greedy. However, the price she said is different from what you said. She said the whole video was four thousand yuan, not five thousand. ”
“Rising prices.”
“She asked you to investigate in July last year, so how can it possibly increase so much?”
“Beauty, let me tell you,” said Shi Jiajie, “How much did the house price in Xiamen increase since last July? About fifty percent. So I raised my fee from four thousand to five thousand. Is it normal, right?. And I tell you, the divorce rate in China has been rising, with one third of divorces related to unilateral or bilateral having an affair. So the number of clients who have asked our services to investigate is really growing. Today, you are already the tenth guest that I’ve received. We have a total of twenty employees in this firm. Except for those who are busy at data, others are running business outside. Therefore, even if you are willing to give me five thousand, I have to find a way to concoct the staff. If you only give me four thousand, then I really can’t help you. ”
“Five thousand,” Liu Mi said.
“I’ll give you a very lucky number because you are introduced by an old customer. 4888, how about it?”
“Go die?”
“4688, it’s lucky enough?”
“1688 is luckier?”
“Beauty, our firm is not the market. Don’t bargain. It makes me feel awkward,” Shi Jiajie said after clearing his throat, “I’ll give you a price of 4688 which is very beneficial. You may think our job is very simple. Only follow the target like a pug. But it’s actually hard to execute. Have you ever seen a Hongkong police crime movie? The police often tracked the prisoners in a few cars. At least we’ll send out two groups of people at a time, taking turns to keep track in order not to be noticed. You think, a driver, a photographer, a backup will be three people together. And two groups will be six people. Five thousand for six man, everyone could only get less nine hundred. And they’re risking their lives to lose their freedom and even life, so it’s a high-risk business. It was against the law to follow others like this. Once the target discovered them and went to the police, they would all have to go to prison. What if the target know some bad man? They would be beaten badly. So, five thousand yuan is truly not high … ”
Before Shi Jiajie could finish his sentence, Liu Mi, who was inpatient, said, “Just four thousand. If you don’t do it, we’ll go to another office. You say your business is a busy, but it’s not in fact. Otherwise, you won’t keep your eyes open like you see money when we’ve walked in before. ”
“Price increases. Four thousand can’t be possible.”
“Just 4000.”
