COC.02. Chapter 2 Delegation
"Good morning, Senior Taro!" Luo Luo stretched and walked out of Room 211 on the third floor. As for why Room 211 was on the third floor, Luo Luo said that she no longer wanted to complain.
"Well, good night, newlyweds." Taro stared at Mo Yu with a fairy-like look on his face, pushed open the door of room 202, and staggered in.
"Senior Taro, did you stay up all night again?" Luoluo scratched his head and walked downstairs. After yesterday's understanding, he understood the general structure of the entire studio. First of all, the mascot at the bottom of the food chain is the gray cat who works part-time as the studio owner.
Seniors, then Senior Zikui, who is responsible for the entire studio's affairs and is known as Kui's mother, and Senior Taro, who is responsible for collecting and sorting out the intelligence of the entire studio. In addition, the remaining investigators are responsible for handling
The commissions received by the studio, such as myself and the senior No. 7 who is responsible for taking care of me, and four seniors are still outside carrying out the commissions. They have to wait for the next volume to meet, probably.
"Good morning, Senior No. 7." When they arrived on the second floor, they saw No. 7 sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
"Morning, would you like a cup of coffee?"
"No."
"That's a pity. A cup of coffee in the morning is better than a living god."
Luoluo, "..."
"Jingle bell."
The doorbell rang, followed by a woman's slightly hoarse voice calling, "Um, is there anyone here?"
"Here comes the commission, you are responsible for recording." No. 7 put down the newspaper, stood up and walked downstairs, "Hello, may I help you?"
Luoluo looked around and saw that she was a woman who looked about forty or fifty years old. Her short hair was tied back with white hair, and she was wearing some faded clothes. She seemed to have been aged for a while. Her rough hands were very rough.
It's hard to imagine that it was a pair of hands that a woman should have, white cloth shoes that were so old that they were yellowing, and a look like she was standing at the entrance and not daring to come in. Well, this was a woman who was not wealthy.
Thinking of this, Luoluo recorded it in his notes. As an investigator, he must learn to determine the approximate identity of the other party at the first time.
"Please come in." No. 7 said to the woman with a smile, "Sit over here."
The woman nodded and walked in quietly, as if she was afraid of dirtying the surroundings. Finally, she sat on the sofa at the request of No. 7. Luoluo, who was sitting opposite, began to observe the woman more carefully.
appearance.
Deep crow's feet spread from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were red, swollen and numb, her cheeks were haggard and thin, and her sluggish look suggested that something big was bothering her. According to the condition of her eyes, which were bloodshot, they hadn't been there for at least a whole day.
I went to bed. I clasped the fingers of my hands together and placed them on my knees that were together, and my thumbs moved uneasily, as if I was hesitating or worried about something.
At this time, Kui's mother brought a cup of hot tea and put it in front of her, "Please use it slowly."
"Thank you." The hoarse voice and dry lips may be caused by talking or shouting or crying for a long time.
She hurriedly picked up the tea cup and took a small sip, then lowered her head and said nothing.
No. 7 thought for a while, "Well, what do you call it?"
"My, my name is Lin Miao Nong..."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well..." Ms. Lin bit her lower lip, holding back tears and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Can you please find my daughter? Please!"
No. 7 and Luoluo stood up quickly and helped Ms. Lin up. Luoluo quickly comforted her, "Sister, don't be anxious. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Number 7 also echoed, "Yes, can you tell us what happened in detail?"
"I, I have an 18-year-old daughter named Lin Xiaoguo... She was supposed to come back from the cram school the night before yesterday and she never came home." At this point, Ms. Lin couldn't help crying, "Please Please help me, help me find my daughter, please."
After half an hour of recording and comforting, I finally learned what had happened from the mother who was about to collapse.
Ms. Lin, who is 44 years old, lives in Anxin Community. She has a daughter who has just turned 18 and is still in high school. Since her husband died in an accident on a construction site ten years ago, the whole family relies on Ms. Lin. Everyone supported her, and her only daughter Lin Xiaoguo became Ms. Lin’s only hope for survival. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaoguo’s grades did not satisfy Ms. Lin. In order to improve Lin Xiaoguo’s academic performance, she also In order for her to enter a good university, Lin Xiaoguo enrolled in a cram school despite being under great financial pressure.
As usual, Lin Xiaoguo was supposed to take the last bus back after class. She did not return home. Ms. Lin, who waited until the early hours of the morning, panicked and chose to call the police. However, because Lin Xiaoguo's disappearance did not exceed Forty-eight hours, so the police could not help with the process, but the police suggested that during this period they could find some investigator studios to help with the search. In this way, Ms. Lin went to ten studios in a row, but they all refused to accept the commission because of Ms. Lin’s financial situation. So Ms. Lin came all the way here, Liwu Tuiyi Studio.
"Then may I ask, where is your daughter's cram school?"
"It's right near their school."
"What's the name of the cram school?"
"Love tutor."
Number 7 asked some more questions one after another, adding some more basic information.
For example, Lin Xiaoguo is studying in the No. 3 Senior High School in Yueban City. Her class is Grade 2, Class 7. Her class teacher is Qin Ou, a woman in her thirties. Lin Xiaoguo has a close friend named Li Wan. Xiao is a classmate, but there are no others for the time being.
Luoluo suddenly asked, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, can I ask, how much is your child's daily pocket money?"
Ms. Lin was stunned, "Ten yuan a day, but that child rarely spends money. She pays for books and other expenses with the money she saves."
At this point, the corners of Ms. Lin's eyes became moist again, "She is a sensible child."
"Do you want to bring a lunch box for lunch?"
"Yes, I make her favorite hot and sour potato shreds every day..."
No. 7 nodded, "Please leave your contact information and sign your name at the end of this power of attorney. We will contact you if we have any news."
Ms. Lin hesitated for a while, "Um...how much is the commission fee..."
"According to the contract, the studio will only charge fees after the commissioned task is completed, Meow." Mao Tuanzi, a gray cat, took a sonorous step with a fat white cat on his furry head, "The commission has not been successful yet. Asking for commission fees is tantamount to fraud, this big sister can rest assured and wait for news from us."
Luoluo was stunned for a moment, seeing such a handsome side of Senior Gray Cat, and felt a little moved.
"This..." Ms. Lin looked at the gray cat who looked like a child and didn't know what to say.
"This is our boss. He is actually much older than he looks." Number 7 said.
Ms. Lin nodded blankly, stood up and bowed deeply, "Then, please."
"Mom Kui, give this big sister a gift."
"good."
Kui's mother led Ms. Lin out. The gray cat stretched and the white cat on its head fell off, making a dissatisfied cry, "Meow!"
"Dabai, are you fat again?"
"Meow!" Dabai shook off his tail decisively and turned around to get on the nearby cat stand.
"Hui Fatty, you woke up very early today." No. 7 said hello casually while looking at the notes recorded by Luo Luo.
"Gray cats are not fat, they are just fluffy cats!"
"Good morning, Gray Cat-senpai."
"Plop!" The gray cat jumped directly into Luoluo's arms, rubbing its soft cheeks against Luoluo's steel body, "Meow, the newbie is the most considerate, meow!"
Blushing on Luoluo's little face, feeling the soft cat dumpling in his arms, his heart was beating unsatisfactorily, his breathing became more and more rapid, indescribable itching sounded all over his body, and his hands were uncontrollable.
Reaching towards the gray cat, the most authentic voice echoed in his mind: ahhhhh, so cute, I'm going to die, ahhhhhh! Senior Gray Cat, Sai Gao!!
Seeing Luo Luo looking like he was about to die suddenly, No. 7 sighed helplessly, pinched the back of the gray cat's neck and lifted the cat dumpling up. He ignored the punching, kicking and struggling cat dumpling, and turned his head to face
Looking at Luoluo, he said, "Why don't you go eat quickly? We have a mission."
"Hurry up and let go of Gray Cat, idiot No. 7 Meow! Even a mere mount wants to resist Gray Cat Meow!"
——————————————The dividing line after meals——————————————
A black business car was speeding on the road. No. 7 drove the car and asked, "I heard from Kui's mother that you are good at analyzing information and observing. What do you think after hearing what Ms. Lin just said?"
Luoluo opened the investigator's notes in his hand and took a look around. "Judging from the situation of the previous client, we can at least confirm that there was nothing deliberately concealed or lying."
"Investigator Rules, Article 6: Never completely trust anyone." No. 7 recalled, "You are doing a great job as a newcomer for being able to think about authenticity at the first time. Continue."
"Then I felt that Ms. Lin didn't seem to know her daughter Lin Xiaoguo very well." Luoluo began to recall, "Judging from Ms. Lin's impression of Lin Xiaoguo, Lin Xiaoguo is still a young girl who has not grown up.
, a child with very simple ideas, but he ignored the thoughts that Lin Xiaoguo should have as an eighteen-year-old adult. It is a bit like the classic family relationship model of working hard for the family but lacking in-depth communication with the children. In
In this kind of relationship, as a child in the family, it is easy to do things that you think are mature and confidential."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"It is also possible that Lin Xiaoguo did not go to cram school as expected by Ms. Lin, but instead used her evening time to work part-time."
"Is that why you asked how much your pocket money is?"
"Yes, Senior No. 7, the one-way fare for the underground train is two yuan, and the round trip is four yuan. If you still need to buy water and so on, even if you only have five yuan a day, it will be one hundred and fifty yuan for thirty days in a month. According to the Education Bureau
The regulations stipulate that the cost of books and other miscellaneous fees for a semester is about 750 yuan, and a semester only lasts four months, so the money saved is about 600 yuan."
Luoluo did not continue talking after that. After all, this was just an analysis, and the specific results still had to be obtained on the spot to obtain evidence.
Chapter completed!
