Chapter 69 060. Letter
"STONEBYTHERIVER"
Translated in Chinese, it means "stone by the river". If the signature is this, Li Ming really can't think of who it is. The express mail was sent to him, and it was also a cross-border express delivery.
Opening the express delivery, there was a letter and a palm-sized card with a black appearance and gold edges, which was about the same size as a bank card and ID card.
On the upper right corner of the front of the black card is written "No.5", and in the middle there is a gold edge inlaid with the English letters "SUPERBIA". I don't know why, Li Ming always feels a little scared when he sees this. .
He pinched the black card with his right index finger and thumb. When he felt its thickness, Li Ming vaguely felt that the back of the card was a little sticky. He carefully placed the card on the table and then looked at his fingers, a light red appeared in his eyes.
Li Tang squinted his eyes, rubbed the mucus on his fingertips, and turned his attention to the letter in his hand again.
The handwriting on the letter is very neat and beautiful. It looks very much like the handwriting written by a woman. What makes Li Dang a little strange is that the letter is written in Chinese, and even the format of the letter is familiar to him. Format——
"Dear Mr. Li Dali:"
"Hello, on behalf of my team member Naotsugu Watanabe, I would like to express my deep apology to you for offending you due to his personal greed. I would like to express my deepest apology to you again. My apologies."
"It was my order to spy on Akira Kuroki, the chief physician at Kitazawa Hospital. I also asked him not to involve innocent people, but he did not listen to me. At present, I have dealt with Naotsugu Watanabe and given him the punishment he deserves. ”
“Then now Let me explain the purpose of sending the letter. In view of your performance in the white dream, we sincerely invite you to become one of us. The card symbolizing your identity has been attached to the letter. When you see "TDHunt" in your daily life Fonts are available Get help with this card."
"Of course, I am not in a hurry to ask you to agree to my request. This card can also be used as a gift from me to apologize to you. While you are getting help through this card. , and I hope you will consider my request.”
“I would like to express my apology to you again, and hope you can forgive us.”
I just saw the signature on the logistics document bag. That "STONEBYTHERIVER".
I carefully identified the appearance of the logistics document bag, hoping to find the address of the source of the letter, but except for this string of English that could be used as a clue, there was no other text that could provide information.
Putting the letter gently on the table, Li Dang relaxed his tense body and leaned on the back of the chair where he was sitting.
The key clue that can be obtained from the general content of the letter is that the sender has a close relationship with Naotsugu Watanabe, the former self-proclaimed "man hunter", and it seems to be a relationship between the organization and its members. .
In other words, the sender of the letter should be the leader of the human-hunting organization, and the last time he was dragged into Bai Meng was just an accessory to frame Kuroki.
Li Dang opened his sore eyes and picked up the letter written in Chinese again. He always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't put it in words.
So this letter is actually an invitation from the Human Hunting Organization? Want him to become a member of the Hunters?
Li Dang frowned and sighed lightly. Although inducing others to trigger NG would allow him to get clues about his wishes, this kind of thing that benefits others at the expense of others is not like his style.
Unless he has an extraordinary will, Li Minshi will not care about the life and death of other patients, nor will he take the initiative to hunt other people.
Stacking the letters and black cards together again, Li Ming took out the cigarette box with not many cigarettes left from the side of the desk drawer, pinched out one with his right hand, and ate it under the setting sun through the curtains. Lit in low light.
The misty smoke and dust filled the air. Li Dang took a deep breath of the cigarette, swallowed it carefully in his mouth, and then spit it out. This made his mental state suddenly clear.
Looking back at the letter and "SUPERBIA" on the black card, Li Min pursed his lips and planned to put it away and talk about it later.
After all, this invitation has no way to shake his mentality now, and he has no experience in getting help, so he has no way to judge the pros and cons of the matter.
Sure enough, we should wait until we follow the instructions obtained from Bai Meng in the laboratory before considering these.
Just when he was about to put away the letter and card, the unknown light red slime on the back of the card was smeared on a part of the letter. In this part of the conspicuous red, Li Yan recognized a sentence English——
“I'MWATCHINGYOU.”
Translated is "I'm looking at you."
Li Ming was stunned. His instinct drove him to look around, trying to find the "see" mentioned in the letter. At the same time, he secretly wondered in his heart whether all his current performances could be captured by one person. What about the eyes? That would be too scary.
There was a knock on the door, mixed with the sound of a silver bell hitting the wooden door.
Li Ming frowned and quickly classified all the items he had placed into the desk drawer, and took out a few pieces of white paper and pencils and placed them on the table.
After finishing these tasks, Li Dang stood up, put the cigarette into the ashtray and opened the window, and then walked to the door.
After all, many clients don't like the smell of smoke in the office, which affects business to some extent.
Guests who want to entrust a commission come to the door of the office. If they take a closer look, they will find the notice posted by Li Dang beside the door, which explains the "hidden rules" when knocking on the door——< br>
If he rings the silver bell beside the door while knocking on the door, Li Ming will know the purpose of the visitor; otherwise, if he just knocks on the door, it is definitely not a commission, but maybe a visit from a friend or something.
So this is why Li Dang immediately tidied up the messy room as soon as he heard this complicated sound.
It can also be known from the side view that the client outside the door is not particularly anxious about the commission. He has time to read the notice at the door. If he is particularly anxious, he will knock on the door directly. , and the sound was urgent, or it sounded like banging on the door.
While Li Ming opened the wooden door, he was still thinking about how he didn't turn over the business sign when he first came in, and how the client outside the door found him.
When you open the wooden door, the first thing you see is a familiar face, no, it should be said that it is a face that you have only met a few times -
Dr. Ishikawaoka.
At this moment, he was not wearing formal clothes, but his usual casual clothes, and his overall temperament had changed a lot.
But what makes Li Yan a little strange is that there are strange scratches on the side of Dr. Ishikawaoka's face in front of him. It doesn't look like it was scratched by a cat or dog. If I must say it, it looks more like human fingernails. Caught.
"Ah? It's you, Mr. Li Ming. I didn't expect that the office closest to Kitazawa Hospital is opened by you."
When he saw the appearance of the young man in front of him, Ishikawaoka was also surprised. He said strangely, while also looking around, as if looking for anyone to follow him.
"Can you let me in? I want to entrust you with something." With these words, Ishikawa couldn't help but push away the young man in front of him and walked towards the cold office room, " Hey? Why don't you open the curtains? Isn't it dark?"
Li Ming looked a little cold, but didn't say much after looking around to see if there was any suspicious guy on the road outside. , then closed the wooden door, and the room fell into darkness again.
Turning around, Ishikawaoka was already tinkering with the coffee machine at the reception desk by the door, as if he regarded this place as his own home.
When he thought that this coffee machine was a gift from his childhood friend and his best friend, and that it was being messed with by such a stranger, Li Dang felt an unknown fire in his heart.
He remembered the prompt he saw on his mobile phone before. It clearly said "tomorrow's first commission", so Li Ming had the right to refuse Ishikawaoka's unreasonable request.
But then again, Ishikawaoka's occupation is a doctor at Kitazawa Hospital, which should not be as high as Akira Kuroki's position.
But their current relationship is basically that as long as they go to see a doctor, they will look up and not look down. If they refuse his request or entrustment in this regard, then I am afraid that in the future, medical treatment at Kitazawa Hospital will be troublesome. .
So out of reasonable considerations for future development, Li Dang suppressed the anger in his heart, returned to his desk, wrote something on the white paper, felt the breeze blowing and raised the curtains touch.
"What's the matter? Doctor Ishikawa?"
Handing the white paper to Ishikawa who was drinking coffee, Li Ming showed a cold expression. In his eyes at this moment, the two of them were ordinary clients and The principal relationship is not mixed with other elements.
"Ha, of course I am entrusting you as a private detective when I come to your office! Don't you understand this?" Ishikawa said as he was burned by the hot coffee.
"And what's your attitude? Is this the attitude of your private detectives towards their clients? If it weren't for the entrustment of clients like us, you private detectives at the bottom of society might not be able to survive. "Here!"
Li Ming narrowed his eyes. This guy's behavior was completely different from when he met him in the elevator. Sure enough, he only treats patients with a false attitude in the elevator room where he works? ?
"So, I would like to ask Mr. Ishikawa, what do you want to entrust me with when you come to visit my detective agency this time?"
"That's it."
Although in the room, Ishikawa He still looked like he was afraid of someone following him, or like a thief who had just finished stealing and wanted to look around for fear that the police would catch him.
This can't help but make Li Yan a little curious, what happened to this guy to have such an image and performance.
When Ishikawaoka talked about his commission, his unreasonable appearance disappeared immediately, and he said softly.
"My wife's name is Sato Baili. I suspect that she has done some abnormal things behind my back recently. So I want to entrust you to investigate her. You don't have to worry about the entrustment fee. I will definitely pay you in full, but I hope You keep it secret during the investigation."
Well, as expected, this is the stereotype of these Japanese people, that's what private detectives do. Small things like catching rapes and finding kittens and puppies can happen as soon as they happen. I'll hire a private investigator.
But speaking of it, considering Ishikawaoka's unreasonable behavior just now, it is not surprising that his wife betrayed him. He is hated by others, and it is normal for these things to happen.
However, out of professionalism, Li Dang still did not say these words. He just put his fist to his mouth and coughed softly a few times before continuing to write on the white paper.
"Mr. Ishikawa, please don't be excited. Don't be excited. Can I ask you a few questions? There are some things that I must understand clearly before I can accept your commission."
"Okay, you can ask." Ishikawa took a big sip of coffee, swallowed hard, and said, "But you must ensure that only the two of us know about this matter. Even if the matter is resolved, we cannot tell anyone, especially Kuroki. That guy!"
"Of course, don't worry, the client's privacy is very important to me." Li Ming nodded with a smile. , "First of all, the first question, I would like to ask you about your wife. When did you find out that your wife had betrayed you?"
"Isn't it necessary to find out?! Very It's obviously my intuition! This woman has been talking about working overtime in the past few days, and she even forgot about our wedding anniversary. It's obvious that there is someone outside!" Ishikawa said angrily.
"Then do you have any evidence, I mean, clues, it would be best if you can provide it, it will be very helpful to my work."
Li Ming wrote this When I finished the sentence, I almost tried my best to hold back my laughter and forced myself to write these words calmly.
I don’t know why, but seeing this disgusting guy’s family and marriage in trouble, a feeling called “schadenfreude” arose spontaneously.
Although Li Ming is an absolute warrior of pure love, he feels a sense of excitement when the marriage of someone like Ishikawaoka breaks up. Shouldn't this be considered accepting NTR?
"Of course, of course I have evidence."
"Oh?" Li Ming stood in awe, sitting at the desk, with his upper body erect.
“Just after I got off work from Beizawa Hospital, my colleague, yes, a colleague! Of course, the relationship is not very good, and it’s not that I believe what he said, I just doubt it!”
Ishikawaoka started talking to himself incoherently. His body was shaking slightly and his voice was getting louder and softer.
“My colleague said that he saw my wife’s name in the custom shop in Funabashi Town, so I immediately questioned her when I got home from get off work, but she refused to admit it and even scratched it with her fingernails. Hurt me! Do you think this is considered angry?”
“I think you look like you are angry.” Li Ming pursed his lips and did not say this, nor did he write this on the white paper. Instead of saying a word, he continued to pretend to be serious and nodded.
"So I beat the woman and ran out of the house." Ishikawa paused and patted the desk hard, "So! Can you accept this commission? I will definitely This woman must pay the price.”
“Don’t get excited, Mr. Ishikawa, I’m a little confused from your description, so in order for the investigation to proceed smoothly, the commission fee for this time is set at 30,000. Five thousand yen, do you think that’s okay?”
Li Ming continued to write on the white paper, then turned the white paper upside down and showed it to Ishikawa opposite.
"If you agree, please sign your name on this piece of white paper, and please pay a deposit of 10,500 yen."
I saw Ishikawaoka. I want to laugh but don’t know why
