Chapter 8: Respect for Contracts

  Yu Ming's eyes didn't blink, and he said calmly: "Hello, what a coincidence. We reached the 29th floor, and the old man wants to go to the first floor to have tea. He was too anxious and didn't look carefully at the up and down signs, so the elevator went up to the 33rd floor and came back down after making a round trip. You... how?"

  A middle-aged man stepped into the elevator and laughed: "Too fat, overloaded, can only let them go first. What's the point of being a foreign guest, basic courtesy."

  "Yes, it should be."

  The middle-aged man looked at the corpse for a while: "This old fellow..."

  Yu Ming's dialogue: "They are overseas Chinese, when they meet their relatives, tears gush out, and the wine is drunk cup by cup."

  "Are you sick?"

  "No, I'm just drunk."

  "Ming's voice was hoarse and unclear: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk." His hands exerted force, and the corpse shook slightly.

  The middle-aged man didn't say anything else and got out of the elevator on the 20th floor. Li Fu gave Ming a thumbs up.

  The elevator stopped on the 19th floor, Nai Qiu almost cried, can't it just stop for a moment?

  A man and a woman walked in, the two of them entered the elevator. Today seemed to be an unlucky day, from the 18th floor to the 7th floor, it stopped at every level. The three people were shocked and frightened as they were squeezed to the very back.

  The first floor finally arrived, and everyone rushed out. The three of them were the last to exit the elevator and quickly headed towards the staff passage. Du Qingqing was already waiting by the car, which wasn't hers but the hotel's. The four of them got on the car. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Du Qingqing praised: "You guys did great."

  Ní Qiūdào said: "I have a feeling that our bad luck isn't over yet."

  "Brother, can you say something nice?"

  "Good, smooth sailing, one ride for thousands of miles."

  When you're driving and someone suddenly walks into your lane, you might curse loudly. But when the other person is holding a plastic baton and wearing a police uniform, you'd better pull over obediently.

  No, Niu Qiu's crow mouth, ran into traffic police checking drunk driving.

  The traffic police knocked on the car window. Du Qingqing rolled down the window and a strong smell of alcohol wafted out from inside the car. The traffic police wrinkled his nose and said, "Get out."

  "I didn't drink."

  "Everyone get out." The traffic police were very experienced. Some drivers who drank and drove would switch drivers when they saw the police checking for drunk driving. First, we need to check who was drinking and whether the person who was drinking could have been driving.

  "Officer, we're in a hurry, our elderly family member is ill and needs to go to the hospital immediately."

  The traffic police officer looked inside and saw that the face of the corpse in the back seat had turned purple, obviously seriously ill. He hurriedly said: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Get in the car, I'll take you there." After saying this, he rode a motorcycle with another police officer and turned on the police lights.

  The car started moving, and Nai Qiu sighed: "Actually, there are also good police officers."

  Yu Mingdao said: "I'm worried he's too good."

  "Why?"

  "If he helped us call the hospital's emergency doctor, then the emergency doctor waited at the hospital entrance. Then the 'patient' got out of the car and the doctor checked that they had been dead for an hour. What do you think will happen next?"

  "It's the hotel's business." Du Qingqing said: "Their lobby manager is already waiting at the hospital."

  Neither of them was wrong, the emergency doctor waited at the hospital entrance, and after a check-up, he whispered to the traffic police. The lobby manager immediately followed up, explaining to the traffic police and the doctor.

  "If there were no traffic police, the hotel would bear a small part of the responsibility. If there were traffic police, it would be impossible to reach a private agreement and the hotel would face high compensation claims from the deceased's family." said Li Fu Dao.

  Yu Mingdao said: "Hearing you say this, is this matter getting bigger and bigger?"

  "Lies are always like this." Li Fu seemed to have gained some insight.

  What's left is between the hotel, police and the victim's family. Although it may make the employer pay a lot and have a bad influence. However, Xingxing Investigation Company transported the body to the hospital accurately according to the employer's request, without violating any verbal contract. The contract takes effect. The 5,000 yuan employment fee becomes the first income of Xingxing Investigation Company. The four people also gain some understanding of each other.

  One hundred and five: When it is advantageous to oneself, one should fully respect the spirit of the contract, unless the other party is a long-term customer.

  ……

  The first day passed like this, and on the second day, not even a cat came to the door. As a result, Yu Ming and Li Fu were arranged to distribute flyers, while Ni Qiu, because of his lack of professionalism in distributing flyers, actually got an unreasonable rest. Alas, the world is just so unfair.

  On the third day, at 9:00 in the morning, just as the four of them had started work, the phone on Nian Qiu's desk suddenly rang loudly. Du Qingqing was concerned about Nian Qiu, who answered the phone on speakerphone: "Hello, this is Xingxing Investigation Agency."

  "Will you help me find the dog?" a woman asked anxiously.

  "Of course." Nian Qiu waved his hand, and Li Fu put a document in front of him. Nian Qiu asked: "May I ask how long has your family's little dog been missing?"

  "It was still there in the morning, took it out for a run, and then couldn't find it."

  Ní Qiú pointed to the fixed price, within six hours, the price for finding pets is one thousand yuan. Ní Qiú said: "Our commission fee is one thousand yuan, if we can't find it, no need to pay, and I also need a photo of the puppy and the range where it went missing."

  "Okay, I'll give you an address, come to my place first. Hurry up."

  "No problem." Nian Qiuliu hung up the phone like a hero: "Boss, I'm going to work now."

  "Go." Du Qingqing waved her hand.

  Yu Ming furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, picked up the flyer on the table and took a look, then handed it to Li Fu. Li Fu looked at it with confusion. Yu Ming pointed to the contact phone number. Li Fu suddenly understood, there were three phone numbers on the flyer: high-level business investigator, Du Qingqing's mobile phone number; ordinary civil investigator, landline phone number ending in 110 and 111. But the wired phone in front of Nian Qiu had a tail number of 112, which was not listed on the flyer.

  The company does not advertise and is not on TV. The only way to let the outside world know is by distributing flyers. So how do some people call for help with phone numbers that are not even on the flyers?

  The phone rang at this time, Yu Ming answered: "Hello, Star Investigation Company."

  "I'm looking for someone." The other person said in a hoarse voice.

  "Who are you looking for? Has it been a long time since they went missing or have you not seen them in many years?" Yu Ming asked.

  Du Qingqing came out of the office, and Yu Ming cleverly pressed the hands-free button. The other party said: "Old friend, it's been many years since we last met. His original name was Sun Ziming, 45 years old, male. Give me an email address, and I'll send you the materials."

  Notified the company email, soon received an email. This is a family of three photo. According to age calculation, it should be a ten-year-old photo. In addition to these, there are household registration places and ID numbers.

  "I'm sorry, for a search like this, we require an advance payment. Even if we can't find the person, the deposit is non-refundable."

  "Account."

  The other party said: "I've transferred the deposit to your company account. If the deposit is not enough, send me an email. If there's any news, also send me an email, and I'll give you five times the deposit as a reward." After that, the other party hung up the phone.

  "There are really many people who talk big these days." Du Qingqing glanced at the bank SMS on her phone, and her body went limp. She grabbed Yu Ming's shoulder to prevent herself from falling over. Du Qingqing took a deep breath and said to Yu Ming and Li Fu: "Find this guy."
