Chapter 781 Robot Lab Assistant 14
She ran all the way while scanning the surroundings with her eyes, and ran and ran. When she was approaching the park, she immediately chose one of the empty taxis that was coming, and immediately raised her hands to stop the taxi.
After getting in the car, he glared: "Drive quickly, right away!"
The taxi driver was quite smart and drove off immediately.
Xining looked out the car windows on the left and right, and saw that everything was quiet and nothing unusual.
The driver asked cautiously: "Is it sometimes necessary to call the police?"
The safety factor of this country is not very high, otherwise most shops would not be closed at night, and only a small number of approved business establishments would be open, making it like a curfew.
Seeing her in her workout attire, she felt unsafe being followed.
"No!" Xining took out fifty dollars and handed it over: "Is there a private detective agency you know of? Take me there, these are all yours."
This is a small private detective agency located in Chinatown. Almost every first-, second- and third-tier city will have a Chinatown of this kind, large or small. Not all people living in Chinatown are Chinese. The reason is that the houses here are relatively cheap and there are many people from all walks of life, just like a small society.
The detective is like this, a Caucasian, short stature, slightly bald, middle-aged greasy uncle with a little belly.
Xining looked at him doubtfully. When he came in, his uncle was smoking a cigarette. When he saw someone coming in, he quickly put out his cigarette and brushed the remaining greasy hair with his hands.
"Hmm~" He coughed twice, trying his best to look authoritative and sanctimonious: "What's the matter?"
Xining smiled: "What do you think?"
The detective looked up and down: "You were wearing sportswear, and the collar of your shirt was soaked with sweat. You found an opportunity to sneak out during exercise. Is someone watching you, or is someone trying to do something detrimental to you?" ”
It seems that there are still two brushes, which can at least analyze something.
Xining said slowly: "I want to check a company and a person. How much does it cost?"
The detective thought for a moment: "If it is an ordinary company, it will cost 2,000 dollars. If it is a person, the resume information will also cost 2,000 dollars. If tracking is required, the price will start at 10,000 dollars."
Xining asked for paper and pen, wrote the name of the institute and Richard, and handed it to the detective.
"Is it the Robot Research Institute?" The detective looked at the paper and frowned slightly: "This research institute should have an official background. It is not easy to check and it is difficult to obtain internal information."
"Give as much as you can find. It's best to contact your colleagues to see if anyone else has also checked the background of this institute."
The body owner had gone out to check before, but found nothing, which further confirmed that she was suffering from hallucinations. But who knows if the detective made arrangements in advance to avoid the eyes and ears this time, just to investigate on his own.
With these words, I feel relieved. The detective looked at the paper again: "Dr. Richard...does he have a full name?"
"No!" The body owner had asked Richard's full name before, but Richard smiled and answered that it was confidential.
"This..." The detective was a little embarrassed: "Are there any photos?"
No, Xining thought for a while and asked: "Are there any people here who can draw a portrait just by describing it?" Unexpectedly, the detective nodded: "Yes!"
Xining described it in fluent Chinese, and the detective listened with wide eyes. A Chinese old master took a pen and slowly sketched and changed a lifelike sketch based on her description.
"Thank you!" Xining happily paid the five hundred dollars.
After returning to the detective agency, she gave the two portraits to the detective. Yes, she drew all the portraits of Richard and Adam.
The detective picked it up and looked at it carefully, then nodded: "Then I will start with those who graduated from the best science and engineering university with related majors. Even if the names are fake, there should be results on the photos soon. Leave the phone number on the paper just now, I’ll call you when I have the results.”
Xining left his phone number on the paper just now.
"Five thousand dollars, pay 50% first, and then pay another 50% when you come to get the results after the work is completed." The detective asked with a bit of probing: "Do you want to pay in cash or by card?"
Xining said slowly: "Swipe your card, can you guarantee that the POSS machine will not be detected by them?"
The detective was slightly surprised. After thinking about it, he opened the drawer and took out a POSS machine. Although there was one on the table, he said, "Use this. I guarantee you won't be able to detect it. I think you just bought a membership card at a beauty and fitness center. Even if If you go to this store, the people inside will know nothing about it.”
Xining nodded: "I'll give you a thousand knives."
Isn't it $1,500 less? When the detective was shocked, she continued: "When the matter is settled, I will give you another five thousand."
The detective immediately smiled and nodded: "I will definitely help you find out as much as possible."
After Xining picked up the card and swiped it, he picked up a pen and continued to add to the paper where the phone number had been written. While writing, he said: "I'm not in a hurry about this. You must find something useful. After you have news, use Call me from a safe number. Even the public phone outside tried to block the number. After calling, I said, please give me the address again. I didn't order at all the next day. Please meet at this address..."
The detective nodded and took the paper: "Okay!"
Is it necessary to be a spy? While the detective was muttering, Xining stood up and said with a smile: "The taxi driver may have been found out and asked where he sent me. So I suggest you leave here immediately and go outside. Go check it out. What the Orientals say is that you should never be afraid of harming others. Believe me, I’m not kidding!”
The detective stared at her and watched her leave.
When I got to the door, I stood there and hailed a taxi. Anyway, the taxi she took when she left could tell where she went, so even if the taxi coming back took her back from another place, it wouldn't matter. Why walk a long way and then hire someone to rent?
This detective shouldn't be stupid. If she were a detective, she would leave immediately. Once everything is found out, it will be safe.
She wasn't worried that the detective would take the money and run away. Likewise, if it were her, she would find a way to find out. If you don’t have a background in graduate school, you don’t have anything to fear. If there is a background, then it is even more important to find out, thinking that the other party will never let anyone go. After finding out, you can use this as capital for negotiation.
The car has arrived, get in the car and leave. After driving a few meters, I saw the detective uncle running out of the building, carrying a suitcase, and anxiously hailing a taxi at the door.
Xining turned around, smiled, leaned on the back of the chair, and settled into a sitting position as comfortable as possible.
When she got home, she cooked a meal. After eating, she took a shower and went to work feeling refreshed.
