Chapter 123 Investigation
"Hello, Mingming."

"Hello, Jianjian."

"I don't like that nickname."

"But I like it." Yu Ming said: "I need a bodyguard here."

Cui Jian raised his eyebrows: "I like Yu Ming who is businesslike."

Yu Ming recalled the 30 million commission he received from Cui Jian, and smiled bitterly: "Brother, my boss takes the lion's share, you can't bleed me."

Cui Jian smiled and said, "Let me tell you about the situation first." He had breakfast alone this morning, feeling relaxed. He figured that with his current financial resources, he should be able to rent a haunted villa. After looking at the rental advertisement, he felt that he either had to make more money, or the ghost had to be fierce, very fierce.

It turned out that Li Liang was attacked for the second time. The police suspected that someone around Li Liang was bribed, and the briber was likely a member of the Li family. Mr. Li contacted the investigator Yu Ming, promised to give Yu Ming the maximum authority, and asked everyone in the Li family to cooperate with the investigation. The investigator organization evaluated that Yu Ming's investigation this time posed a certain security threat, and the murderer might preemptively kill Yu Ming. In view of Yu Ming's weak fighting ability, he reminded Yu Ming to pay attention to his own safety.

So Yu Ming contacted the only one-star bodyguard, his good friend Cui Jian.

When Cui Jian heard about the Li family, he was immediately unhappy: "I'll give you 30 million, and don't worry about this matter."

Yu Ming: "Oh my god, someone is scared." As a friend, he knew about Cui Jian and Li Qin.

Cui Jian: "Provocation doesn't work on me."

Yu Ming: "That's right. I've been beaten into a cesspool. How dare I look into his eyes?"

Cui Jian gritted his teeth and said, "You were the one who was beaten into the cesspool."

Yu Ming: "Your counterattack has no lethality. I just want to ask if you dare. Or, do you have a reliable bodyguard to recommend? What if I really die or become disabled?"

Cui Jian hesitated and did not answer immediately. He felt overwhelmed when he thought about dealing with the Li family.

The old lady Yu Ming was possessed: "Oh my god, I treated him as a friend, and I found him a house and a job. I didn't expect that in the end he would rather watch me die on the street than lend a hand to help me. Oh God, please open your eyes and look, I am only 22 years old, my life is so miserable..."

"Okay." Cui Jian: "30 million."

Yu Ming's expression changed in an instant: "OK, drive over to pick me up, let's go to the Li family's old nest, Giant Wood Building first."

Cui Jian: "All expenses including transportation and food expenses are yours."

Yu Ming: “OK.”

Hearing Yu Ming being so straightforward, Cui Jian couldn't help but wonder: "By the way, how much do you get for this order? This is for the investigator, right? The boss doesn't take a cut, right?"

Yu Ming: "Jianjian, listen to my advice: don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Life is not easy, why make things difficult for yourself?"

……

The next day, Yu Ming saw the new version of Cui Jian, wearing a mask, gold-rimmed glasses, a round hat, and a cane beside him.

Yu Ming closed the car door, ran to the front of the car to take a look at the license plate, and returned to the car: "Is it that serious?"

Cui Jian sighed as he drove: "You have been single since birth, so you will never understand the pain of love. Brother, I wish you stay single forever."

Yu Ming laughed angrily, took out his bag and took out his computer: "Let's go to the 52nd floor of the Giant Wood Building first. Mr. Li's assistant will help us make a relationship list of the people around Li Liang. It is estimated that there will be between 10-20 people. Qiu Ya's killers are not professional, at least not a professional team. If you want to know the information about Li Liang's reservation of the hot spring hotel, you must be one of this group of people."

Yu Ming: "The second step is for us to interview this group of people individually, and we can basically identify a few suspects."

Yu Ming: "The third step is to conduct an in-depth investigation on the suspect, identify the traitor, and finally find the mastermind through the traitor."

The Autumn Crow Killer has a poor ability to collect information, so compared to the Spring Sparrow, the Autumn Crow needs more information from the employer. However, communication is done through a third party on the Internet, so it is impossible to get started in this regard.

"what do you think?"

Cui Jian: “That’s great.”

Yu Ming: "The sooner we finish work, the sooner we get paid."

Cui Jian said: "I feel that the employer or the traitor is not a rich person, at least not very rich. The difference between Chunque and Qiuya is that Chunque charges a higher fee, the employer is more secretive, acts more professionally, and is more difficult to contact."

Yu Ming: "You are arbitrary. What you said is all right, but it is difficult for employers to contact Chunque, which can overturn your point of view. It is not that employers have no money, but that employers have no channels to contact Chunque." Chunque is similar to the membership introduction system, relying on the recommendation of old members and the business card handed over by Chunque salesmen. Because Qiu Ya recruits regional killers, they can contact through the Internet and then transfer to the deep network for negotiation.

Cui Jian said: "Just do your thing and don't bother me." Then he asked me to speak, and after I spoke, he said I was arbitrary and said that you can't play with me like this.

Yu Ming pretended not to hear: "The three heroes of the Li family, Li Di, Li Liang and Li Han, although they are competitors, but according to my understanding, they would not even bother to hire someone to kill, let alone stab someone in the back. These three are already very successful, they have their own plans, and if one of them dies, they won't be able to swallow up too much of the market."

Yu Ming: "Over the past decade, the Li family has had internal strife and family fighting, but they have never harmed, murdered, or hired someone to kill for money. I looked through the information and found that the number one reason why Li family members attack Li family members is: men or women."

Cui Jian: "Love?"

"No, it can't be called love, but it can be explained by the word affection."

Cui Jian was not interested in the Li family and asked, "Is this kind of thing more suitable for investigating people or Su Chen?"

Yu Ming replied: "Su Chen is better at going to the scene and solving murders. When it comes to hiring a killer, his goal is only to find the killer. It's different when we investigate people. We may not be able to find the killer, but we can find the culprit. Su Chen focuses on empirical evidence, and we focus on subjective identification. Of course, we also pursue a response to objective evidence."

Yu Ming: "To put it simply, Su Chen is useless without any clues, but it's not the same for us. He cares about things, and we care about people. To put it more simply, we will crush Su Chen and beat him ten blocks in seconds."

Cui Jian laughed: "What a nice weather."

Yu Ming: "I'm the boss, you have to flatter me now."

Cui Jian: "Su Chen is rubbish, the boss is so handsome."

They laughed and joked all the way to the Giant Tree Building. Cui Jian parked his shabby car directly in the VIP parking space near the main entrance. The security guard was about to come over and ask them to move the car, but Cui Jian took out the work ID card given by Yu Ming: P1.

Security guard: "P1? P1 has an exclusive parking space in the underground garage. This is the VIP parking space." Isn't P1 the president? Has Jumu changed?
Yu Ming got off the car and said, "You performed very well. I'll give you a raise later. Go back to your post."

The security guard nodded and left, deciding not to provoke P1 anyway.

Cui Jian walked with a cane: "You have perfectly portrayed the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might."

Yu Ming: “You’re not bad either.” He held up the sign and entered the elevator to the 52nd floor amid the shocked eyes of the security guard.

The gold P1 card has attracted countless attention along the way, and only the elevator lady questioned: "Is it fake?" There are only three gold P3 work badges in total. Yu Ming, the president, chairman and executive president (executive vice president): "If it is real, you have offended me and you will be in trouble. If it is fake, you have no obligation to expose it. When working in a company, you should not choose what is right, but what is most beneficial."

The elevator lady said nothing more. After starting the elevator, she glanced back and forth at the two of them. When they reached the 52nd floor, Mr. Li's assistant was waiting at the elevator door. Seeing the assistant politely greet Yu Ming, the elevator lady was very glad that she didn't say anything nonsense. However, this matter quickly spread throughout the group through various groups.

The three of them went to the small conference room. Assistant Li handed 15 documents to Yu Ming and said, "You can question any employee and enter most places in the building."

Yu Ming asked: "Are all 15 people here?"

Assistant Li nodded: "In Seoul, it is Mr. Li's second-level branch, and the branch is on the 40th floor. After the incident, the second-level branch was merged into the branch, and the office location was also moved from Seoul to Hancheng."

Yu Ming: "Okay, I'll look at the information first."

Assistant Li looked at Cui Jian who was leaning on a crutch and looking out the window: "Who is that?"

Yu Ming: "My assistant."

Assistant Li: "Okay, this is my business card. You can call me if you need anything."

Yu Ming: “Thank you.”

Assistant Li: "Mr. Li has a request. After you find the traitor, don't call the police first. Try not to alert other people. Just contact me directly."

Yu Ming: “I understand.”

Li Zhu and Cui Jian said hello and left. Yu Ming saw the door closed and said, "Come and look at the information together."

Cui Jian: "No need for that. How can an assistant like me understand the information?"

Yu Ming: "I need a stupid control group."

Cui Jian: "Get lost."

Yu Ming: "I'm giving you a chance to learn. Look, there's something wrong with the first piece of information. How can a female intern in her senior year become Li Liang's assistant?"

There are many types of assistants, and they are called different names. The most powerful ones are special assistants and general assistants, who can basically act as the boss. The next level is varied, and there are administrative secretary assistants who are responsible for making appointments, delivering tea, coffee, and documents. There are life-related administrative assistants who plan and accompany the boss's itinerary, buy air tickets, entertain clients, etc. Butler personal assistants cover the trivial matters of work and life.

There are two possibilities for a senior intern to become an assistant. The first possibility is that it has something to do with family, such as younger brothers and sisters, or younger brothers and sisters of other chaebols, accompanying Li Liang to gain knowledge and train himself. The second possibility is love or something like that.

Cui Jian didn't understand the twists and turns: "After all, the girl is a college student. Is it not okay for her to serve tea and water when she is interning in a large group?"

Yu Mingdao: "It can't be said to be absolute, but it's basically not possible. Li Liang and his two brothers split the Li family into three parts. His work involves a lot of company secrets. Even something as simple as meeting is not simple. For example, Li Liang met with A for half an hour and drank two cups of coffee. Li Liang met with B for 5 minutes and the coffee was not touched. This means that Li Liang is more fond of A, and A is likely to cooperate with Li Liang. The simplest thing is to buy the stock of Company A. Once good news comes out, money will roll in."

Cui Jian: "Oh! Hurry up and work, stop talking."

"Are you the boss, or am I the boss?" Yu Ming looked at the second resume and glanced at it: "There is also a problem. The driver has no work experience in the Li family. He became Li Liang's driver at the age of 30."

Cui Jian nodded: "It's suspicious indeed."

Yu Ming asked back: "What's suspicious?"

Cui Jian: "It's none of my business." I just said it casually.

Yu Ming glanced at Cui Jian and said, "Please order me a cup of coffee."

Cui Jian went out and looked around. Where can I order coffee? I couldn't call Assistant Li and ask him to bring coffee, right? Then he saw a girl in a white shirt and black work skirt coming over. She looked down and saw: Administrative Secretary Department. So he asked, "Hello, where can I get coffee?"

The other party was very enthusiastic: "What kind of coffee do you need?"

Cui Jian: "A large cup of espresso and a can of Pepsi iced cola. Send it to the meeting room behind me."

The other party: "Okay, wait a moment."

Cui Jian nodded in thanks and returned to the meeting room. A moment later, the secretary brought in coffee and Coke. Yu Ming glanced at her, motioned for her to sit down, and reached out to take the Coke, but found nothing.

Yu Ming put down the information and said to Cui Jian, "This is not how you drink Coke."

Cui Jiangang pulled off the pull ring and asked suspiciously: "How should I drink it then?"

Yu Mingdao: "Do you know about air pressure? There is a special way to drink iced Coke. Put the Coke on the table and wait for 30 seconds. Thermal expansion and contraction will occur."

"Oh?" Cui Jian put the Coke on the table. Yu Ming stretched his head and spit, then reached out to take the Coke. Cui Jian was stunned. Is this an investigation organization or a fraud organization? You even cheated me with Coke. Do you have any shame?

Yu Ming pushed the coffee to Cui Jian as if nothing had happened, looked at the secretary, and said, "Hello, I need to ask you a few questions."

Cui Jian was so upset that he took off his mask, picked up the coffee and took a sip. It tasted so bad! Seeing that Yu Ming was working, he didn't want to disturb him, so he just stood by the window and watched the view from above.

After a morning of work, Yu Ming reduced the number of suspects to seven, who needed to be interviewed individually in the afternoon. Yu Ming went to the 7th floor first, met Li Liang's special assistant, handed the list of seven people to the special assistant, and asked him to notify the seven people one by one, not to leave the company before the end of get off work today, not to meet guests, and wait for notification.

Then, Yu Ming and Cui Jian went to the staff cafeteria on the 15th floor. It was only 7: and dinner would not be served until :. Yu Ming's purpose was to observe the eating behavior of these seven people.

Yu Ming drank the free seaweed soup and said, "They are all ordinary people. It is hard to hide the nervousness in my heart. These seven people live a relatively affluent life. Unless they are born bad, I can basically identify them after watching them for a meal."

"Sister, it's time for dinner." Cui Jian wanted to eat quickly and put his mask back on.

The aunt apologized, "Dinner must be served promptly at 11 o'clock."

Yu Ming instructed: "You will wear your work badge when you eat, and please pay attention to our safety while I am walking around." After saying that, he took off his work badge and sat somewhere else.

Before 11 o'clock, several more people came. Dinner started at 11 o'clock. Employees ordered food, settled accounts, and paid. The company provided 60% of the meal subsidy. The more you eat, the more you get. But you can't waste it.

There are three dining areas in the restaurant, and the seats are fixed on the ground. Cui Jian sits at the first table at the entrance and watches the employees enter the restaurant one by one.

Although not everyone would go to the restaurant to eat, there were a lot of employees in the group. Yu Ming took a notebook and pen to write and draw, while Cui Jian concentrated on eating.

Yu Ming took a few bites of rice, and walked around the huge restaurant with his plate. Cui Jian had already finished his meal, so he couldn't just sit there in a daze, so he put on a mask, followed Yu Ming a few meters behind him, and walked around the restaurant like a director inspecting.

At that moment, Cui Jian, wearing a golden work badge, became the most handsome guy in the restaurant.

Every time he passed a table, Cui Jian received respectful looks, and some people even stood up and bowed to greet him. In response, Cui Jian just nodded slightly, pretending to be very arrogant.
