Chapter 104 Private Detective Begins Investigation (1)
"You should also be smart and stay at home if you can. Let them buy the groceries. Try not to leave the house alone in case someone kidnaps you for money. I will have a private detective keep an eye on the safety of the three of you."
"I know. I just don't want to buy groceries. Everything is going up in price as the New Year is coming. My parents even scold me for not bargaining and only buying expensive groceries."
"You have to learn this from me. Just let their scolding go in one ear and out the other. Just endure it until you grow up and then leave. There is a world of its own to behold. It will be so much fun to rent a house and live by yourself."
Ye Bing showed a longing look.
"Well, don't worry, big sister. I will endure it until I grow up."
Yenna patted her little sister's head.
"Take a nap. I'll wake you up later. I just want to find a private detective."
"Well, I'll get some sleep then."
In the warm hotel room, after a full stomach and feeling sleepy, Ye Bing couldn't help yawning, took off his coat, rolled into bed, and soon fell asleep.
Ye Na packed up the table, took out the computer desk, and went into the official website of the Awakener Center to look for private detectives who were still accepting orders.
She didn't have the connections to find gangsters to do things for her. They would be ruthless in their work and could easily get her into trouble.
The private detectives on the Awakener are now openly accepting orders. Those who dare to register on this official website are considered to be people with a bottom line. After all, if the job is messed up, it is not difficult for the client to find someone to settle the score.
Yenna doesn't care whether the person is an awakened psychic or not. An ordinary person without awakened powers but with good tracking and trickery skills will do. It mainly depends on how good the skills are.
Only good skills are worth the high fee. If you don't have the skills, it's useless to have the title of Awakener. The secret investigation will not only fail to find the truth, but will also alert the enemy.
She screened them one by one. It was almost the New Year, and there were not many private detectives who were good at catching cheating and investigating debts still taking orders, and there was no one to screen locally.
The nearest ones are in the neighboring Dongpo City, which, like Anyuan City, is another neighboring city that relies on the secret realm of Dongling City.
Ye Nai sent private messages to each private detective she liked, explaining her situation. Her parents were in debt, and the debt collectors had harassed the underage children in the family. However, her parents would not say exactly how much they owed, and she was afraid it was a scam, so she hoped that the private detective could investigate.
Hiring a private detective from another place requires paying for food and lodging in addition to the labor and transportation costs. It’s okay to pay more money, but the main thing is whether he can give a result before the New Year.
Moreover, because there are debt collectors, violent debt collection may be involved, and they may even be discovered during the investigation, private detectives need to be able to deal with sudden dangers.
After about an hour, two people finally replied to my private message and said they could take my order.
So I placed an order through the official website's hiring system and hired the two private detectives to do the work. Each of them paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan, and I would receive 30,000 yuan after the work was completed.
One hundred thousand yuan was just spent like that.
Ye Nai did not tell the two private detectives that a colleague had accepted the order. The two of them worked on their own to see if there were any similarities or differences in their investigation results.
Hopefully they won't bump into each other while working.
The long and narrow Dongling City is connected to Anyuan City on one end and Dongpo City on the other end, but Dongpo City is much closer and can be reached by train in two hours.
Ye Nai woke up her little sister, checked out and left. When he sent her downstairs of her house on his electric scooter, he received train schedules from two private detectives. They both bought tickets for the nearest departure and would arrive before dark.
"What are you looking at, big sister?" Ye Xiaomei picked up the dishes on the pedal and leaned over curiously.
"The private detective is leaving." Ye Na showed her phone to her younger sister, "I've already bought the ticket and will be on the road soon."
“Is it expensive to hire a private investigator?”
"It's not about whether it's expensive or not. I would rather pay this money to a private detective to find out what's going on than to use it to pay off my parents' debt. I don't know where their money went, but they want their children to pay it back. It's really funny." Ye Nai stroked Ye Bin's head.
"Go upstairs, remember what we agreed to do, don't show up at home."
"Well, don't worry, big sister. I'm terribly strong now."
Ye Bin carried the dishes and ran into the lobby on the first floor. He turned around, waved to Ye Nai, and walked towards the elevator.
Ye Na watched her walk into the elevator, ride her electric scooter, and go to the best hotel in the city to book a room to rest.
On the phone, the captains were looking for her. They hadn’t seen her for a day and asked her where she was.
Ye Nai said frankly that she went back to the city to buy New Year's goods. Now the express delivery and logistics companies are on holiday, and even if they are on duty, the efficiency is greatly reduced, and shopping has returned to offline.
She stood at the window and took a photo across the street, where there was an officially organized fireworks market with fixed purchase and setting-off points.
The fireworks piqued the interest of everyone in the group, and they asked Ye Na to see if there were any large fireworks like fireworks. There were plenty of spacious places in the military camp to set off such fireworks.
Ye Na immediately went downstairs, crossed the street and bought fireworks.
She also started a group video so that everyone could choose together.
I bought one of each style of big fireworks, as well as small and medium-sized ones, and also bought a lot for other people.
After walking around for two hours, I finally bought enough.
The next day, she rode her electric scooter around the city, doing her New Year shopping conscientiously.
That evening, the two private detectives sent their preliminary investigation results.
The debt collectors showed up themselves, and captured clear video of them harassing her family and neighbors in the hallway, using multiple cameras and angles, and a careful count revealed that the two private investigators had installed seven miniature cameras outside her home.
It's completely surrounded.
It is easier to check the identity with the face. Both private detectives said that they would be able to find out the debt collector’s identity background and debt situation tomorrow.
Ye Na waited patiently for a day and got the result.
It is true that the family owes money.
They used their parents' salary, which they had never seen, to manage their finances and investments. Nothing had happened over the years because the returns were stable, but something strange happened: in the second half of last year, a basic broker introduced the couple to a stock fund, claiming that it was a sure profit.
The returns were indeed good in the beginning, but by the end of the year, the returns had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Not only did I lose all the profits, but I also lost my principal.
At this time, the loss would not be big if they stopped the loss in time, but they believed the fund broker's advice and invested money, so they lost more and more.
The more he lost, the more he invested in order to make back his investment. When his family ran out of money, he borrowed from outside. He borrowed 20 yuan directly from a loan company. The loan lasted for one month and the interest rate was 5%. The interest alone was 1 yuan.
I don’t know how much money my parents have left in the fund, and private detectives can’t sneak into the bank system to check their accounts. All I can say is that the 21 yuan is a terrible pressure.
No wonder he asked for 20 on the phone last night.
This means she has to pay back the principal. Should she be thankful that they didn't add interest?
Ye Na looked at the investigation report and sneered twice.
20, she would rather hire a private detective.
