Chapter 4 The smell of money
"Not only is there no benefit, for him, it can even be said to be asking for trouble.
"You have lost the protection you paid for.
"In our industry, as an advanced customized service industry, different commissions require different levels of troublesome investigation, as well as different prices and payment methods.
"For example, in our detective agency, we usually make a judgment on the employer's entrustment first. If it is a relatively simple and ordinary case, we will first give half of the money as a deposit, and then give the other half after the completion.
"If it is a more complicated and troublesome case, they will first estimate how much it will cost, and then the employer will first provide about 1/3 of the total amount, and then provide the remaining funds according to the progress of the work. Finally, after the task is completed, the results will be handed over.
, settle the balance with one hand.
"The basic logic is that the larger the amount involved and the more troublesome the matter, the more cautious you must be when giving money. The more detailed the requirements of the contract, the more things you need to comply with.
"This is for the sustainable development of the business and to ensure the interests of both parties.
"For us, the more troublesome things require more remuneration. Of course, for employers, if they are willing to spend more money, they must have more urgent needs. If they give more money, then they will naturally need more
With perfect protection, you can’t lose your money.
"This commission is a cheating investigation. According to our judgment standards, it can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary order. But because the client Wang Hou is very urgent about this matter, and he is not short of money and is very generous, so he
Offered me a price I couldn't refuse.
"Of course, I also carefully prepared the contract to regulate and restrict my work. In other words, I spent money to buy a guarantee. With so much money hanging around, it goes without saying that I will be more attentive and buy one.
There is nothing wrong with more attentive service.
"But after negotiating and signing the contract, he paid the money directly. This is equivalent to saying that after spending so much money, he turned around and threw away the protection he had spent so much money to buy.
All the logic discussed is unhealthy, isn’t it?
"It just makes no sense.
"I even had some involuntary thoughts at the time, whether he was doing this so that he would not have to contact me anymore and avoid communication.
"Of course, I just thought about it and rejected it on second thought. It's just an investigation of my mistress' cheating. It's not a big deal. Social morality won't even condemn it. There's really no need to make it look like a crime.
"For me, the next more important thing is to complete the task and conduct investigations.
"I have believed what he said. I don't think he is delusional about being betrayed. No one would deliberately take money, even so much money, to make such a silly joke.
"After signing the contract, we politely chatted about useless things for a while, and then I left. This was the only time we met. Since then, our contact has been online. In fact, it cannot be said to be a contact.
, that is, I will send him the investigation results according to the time and progress of the investigation.
"Then until today, I suddenly heard the bad news..."
After speaking, Zhang Lingjun added: "As for the evidence of what I said, we can still find our previous online chat records, as well as his account number and Lianyi method. If you need it, I will wait for a while."
I can give them to you. In addition, the bill from the Four Seasons Coffee Shop where we interviewed should still have records of our consumption at that time.
"Well... there are also my bank deposit statements that day, which can also be matched with the money. These can provide support for the authenticity of my words."
The black policeman frowned, "According to the story you told and the information exposed by King Monkey, we can easily find him.
"Whether it's the chat group you both know, the virtual account you use to chat privately, or the relevant email address where you report the progress of the task, they are all good clues. Why do you say you are worried that you can't find it?"
Zhang Lingjun shook his head, his face full of helplessness, "It's not that simple. The chat tool we used to chat at that time and the email address I used to report the progress of the task to Wang Hou were both outside the country, and both had natural anti-tracking conditions.
In addition, the resources that can be leveraged represented by the Monkey King's economic status.
"Unless he has no problems, as long as he is willing, judging from my superficial knowledge of informatics and criminal investigation, it is unlikely that he will be able to find him.
"Of course, this is just my judgment. There may be some technical means that your officials can use to achieve the goal, or maybe King Monkey has nothing to hide, so you can give it a try."
The black policeman glanced at him and continued: "Apart from these accounts, have you ever made an online transfer? Even if it is from a foreign country, it still has to go through a bank account."
Zhang Lingjun said, "Cryptocurrency used."
"Really cautious enough..."
The black policeman said, then he thought about it, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, "But if that's the case, why didn't he pay with cryptocurrency later? Why did he use cash again?"
Cryptocurrency payment is much more convenient than cash, at least there is no need to prepare it in advance.
Although mobile payment has not been fully popularized in Vietnam, cash is still used for transactions, but the balance is not tens or hundreds, so you can pay it casually. With so much cash, the richest man also needs to prepare it in advance.
Normal people would not carry large amounts of cash with them when going out. It is unsafe and inconvenient.
If it is for confidentiality, it is safer to use cryptocurrency than cash.
There is really no reason to bother with this.
Zhang Lingjun said: "I have thought about this problem before, but based on the results, I suspect that he took out the cash to give me a greater psychological impact and wanted to suppress me directly.
"Because I can't forget how I felt when I saw so much money."
A pile of cash and numbers on a personal account have different feelings for a person.
Today, pure numbers, which have gone through the era of showing off wealth on the Internet and many movies, will make people forget or ignore how much money it is.

And a real pile of cash, a big chunk, can give people... an unimaginable shock to poor people.
The black policeman was noncommittal, "That is to say, it is impossible to directly determine the identity, so we can only search by appearance. Didn't you interview Wang Hou? You have seen his true appearance. You should not forget it now, right?
Shouldn’t it be fake?”
Zhang Lingjun said, "Of course I haven't forgotten his appearance, but it's hard to say whether that person is real or fake. After all, we have never seen him before, and we don't know him. We can't say that the person we saw is the real 'Monkey King'. If he has intentions,
You can definitely hire someone to pretend to be yourself."
The black policeman heard this and shook his head, "If that's the case, then there is absolutely no need for him to meet you in reality. The reason why you met in reality is to discuss the details of the contract, and in your story he didn't care at all.
The contract will give you all the money directly, so there is no need to meet in person."
Zhang Lingjun smiled and said: "Didn't I just say it all? The reason why he chose to meet in real life was probably to put cash in front of me and shock me so that I could take this matter seriously. There is no problem in logic.
It’s OK.”
The black policeman couldn't help but frown and thought silently for a while.
Then he seemed to suddenly think of something. He looked at Zhang Lingjun, with a slight arc on his face, "According to your logic, that 'person' does not know the truth or the lie, but we know that there is one thing that cannot be faked. It is impossible."
If it is fake, the money will not be fake, and the money he gave you will not be fake."
Zhang Lingjun shook his head immediately: "You mean those cash? The money can be transferred by the hired person, as long as the money appears in front of the target, it doesn't mean anything."
"No..."
The black policeman raised a finger and said, "The money I'm talking about is not the money, but what the money represents. I mean he is a rich man.
"He gave you a big red envelope without saying anything, casually signed a contract with you at a far higher price, and then gave you all the money without reading the contract, which means that this person is not short of money, or even
Different powers, with strength.
