The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 36: 3 Yuan in Half an Hour
Miao Ruolan was startled...

5000 is not enough?
The eldest sister jumped up and said, "5000 is not enough? 5000 can buy a dog!"

"Sister, I don't like what you said!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Are you looking for a dog? That's your baby! Sister, you look like a rich family with lots of jewels, but your baby is only worth 5000 yuan?"

This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!

Miao Ruolan's teeth felt a little sour...

The eldest sister choked: "How much do you want?"

"3 million!"

"3?" The eldest sister almost jumped up.

Lin Xiaosu sat down in front of her: "Why? Big sister, are you a little tight on money? Or... do you think your baby is not worth 3 yuan?"

Miao Ruolan's eyes turned quietly, and if there was a smile on her face, it was probably a wicked smile.

This little rascal is so mean. How do you expect others to respond when you bully them like this?

The eldest sister's face was as gloomy as water. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! But I have a condition!"

"Tell me about it!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Within two hours, I want to see my baby. If I see him, the balance will be paid. If I can't, I will return double the deposit!"

It was Miao Ruolan's turn to be in a dilemma.

Two hours?

There is a time limit for finding something, this...

The older sister also had a smug smile on her face: "Why? Are you lacking in ability? Or are you lacking in courage?"

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand: "Got it!"

The contract was signed.

A deposit of 5000 yuan must be paid first. If the dog is found before 5:17 noon on May 12, Party B will pay the balance of 2 yuan. If the dog is not found by then, Party A will return double the deposit to Party B, totaling 5 yuan.

The rest of the items are standard, only the last one is handwritten.

Miao Ruolan was a little hesitant, but after Lin Xiaosu nodded, she signed her name anyway.

It was exactly ten o'clock.

Lin Xiaosu looked at the photos of the dog in her elder sister's phone, a little Teddy. There were all kinds of photos of the dog in the phone, some in bed, some eating, some wearing flowers. These were not the main points. The main point was the background behind the doghouse, which included a piano, a villa, a luxury car, and an elegant afternoon tea.

When you post photos of dogs, you are not actually showing the dogs; you are showing your exquisite life and your standard of living.

Lin Xiaosu glanced over and said, "Let's go."

I followed my eldest sister out and got into the luxury car that she had appeared in many photos.

The car drove to the small park outside Fengcheng Building, where this lady and a few of her girlfriends were walking their dog. They were chatting happily, but when they turned around, the dog was gone.

Lin Xiaosu looked up to the sky in the small park and sighed silently, lamenting that his divine eye had really fallen into decline and he actually used it to look for a dog!
Then he lowered his head, went back through time and space, and pursued.

He left the park and entered an alley next to it. In front of the alley was a noisy market. This was the Fengcheng Vegetable Market. The morning market had just ended and the ground was littered with rotten vegetable leaves, fish heads, and animal offal.

The eldest sister frowned: "My baby doesn't even walk on dirt roads, how could he come to such a dirty place?"

Lin Xiaosu ignored her and walked through a small door in the vegetable market. She saw a river beach outside. The beach was littered with garbage and a few puppies were running around there, looking particularly happy.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, raised her hand slightly, and pointed at one of the puppies: "The baby has changed his clothes, can you recognize it, big sister?"

The eldest sister stared at the little coal ball that was covered in mud and couldn't even tell the color, rubbing her eyes and said, "Baby, is that you?"

The little coal ball rolled and crawled over, ran over, and jumped up, revealing a collar around its neck. The eldest sister's eyes lit up: "It's really you, how did you become like this..."

The puppy stuck out its tongue to lick her face, and the elder sister was caught off guard and was licked right on the spot. After this lick, her face changed: "Pah! Why is it so smelly? What did you eat?"

Miao Ruolan had a sour expression...

What did the dog eat?

Is this something that needs to be asked?
Lin Xiaosu raised her phone and held it in front of her elder sister: "Elder sister, it's 10:29 now. The task has been successfully completed. Please pay the final payment!"

The older sister put the dog down, put on the collar, held it in her hand, and slowly raised her head: "You really want to charge 3 for just half an hour?"

"It's all written in black and white in the contract, how can I not accept it?" Lin Xiaosu said, "Besides, Sister Song, you are a noble lady in Fengcheng, 3 yuan is not a hurdle that you can't get over. If you refuse to pay and the news gets out, how can you survive? So, I have no choice but to accept it."

The eldest sister took out her mobile phone with a gloomy face and scanned Miao Ruolan's payment code.

I took my dog ​​home to take a bath without even looking back.

Miao Ruolan and Lin Xiaosu walked back side by side. They walked out of the vegetable market, crossed the pedestrian street, and returned to the detective agency. After drinking half a cup of tea, she finally let out a sigh of relief: "Xiaosu, isn't our price a bit too high? Half an hour for 3 yuan. It's really hard to imagine."

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "This is the particularity of the detective industry. We must set a threshold."

"threshold?"

"Yes, if I charge her one or two hundred, we will have a lot of work in the future, and the cost performance is extremely low. I will be busy all day and just get some hard work pay, which is not what I want."

"But if you set such a high threshold, will anyone dare to come to us in the future? Wouldn't we just make a one-time deal?" "Don't worry, people have bad natures. Sometimes, the more outrageous your price is, the more people will come to us. If this lady Song posts her experience on WeChat Moments, then we will be famous among the ladies in Fengcheng. In the future, maybe the way they show off their wealth will no longer be by having afternoon tea, but by being able to afford the sky-high investigation fees of the Fengcheng Detective Agency."

Miao Ruolan blinked: "Will Sister Song really make this public?"

In her understanding, Sister Song looked depressed and constipated, and completely regarded this matter as a dumb loss. Why would she show it off?

Lin Xiaosu smiled softly: "Yes! Those women who have some money but are very shallow, their logic is hard to imagine... If you don't believe it, take a look at her circle of friends."

Miao Ruolan really read it.

I just looked through a few Moments and a new message popped up.

It was the new update that Sister Song had just posted...

She held the dog and sat at the door of the villa, captioning: "My baby got lost today. I went to Fengcheng Detective Agency for help and spent 3 yuan to find him. I say, baby, you have spent a month's food rations by running around. Mommy is going to put you in solitary confinement for three days!"

Miao Ruolan was stunned: "She didn't accuse us of charging too much, she was just showing off her wealth... She emphasized that 3 yuan is just a month's worth of food for her dog."

"This is the logic of the lady! You can lose money, but you can't lose the opportunity to show off your wealth!"

"It's really a bit ironic. The ladies are proud of being out of touch with reality, and even promote being out of touch with reality. But their pets are very down-to-earth and will run to the wild and roll around whenever they get the chance..."

"So, sometimes, people are really not as good as dogs! At least dogs live very realistically..." Lin Xiaosu stood up: "I'm going to the library to read some books. Call me if you have anything."

The library is just across the street.

At the corner of the street, there was a black car with two people in it. The driver was a young man, and the passenger seat was a middle-aged man who looked elegant in a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

"Boss, there was no chance for him to make a move when he and Miao Ruolan were still together," said the young man.

"We have to wait for opportunities even if there is no chance!" The boss exhaled softly: "With him here, we are in danger."

"Yes, Huang San's deal failed, and he only lost one bag of goods. But when he intervened, seven people on the same line were arrested. I also found out that he was the one who took action last time. The case of stealing children from the fighting gym was solved on the same day. He even found out the secret murder case in the meditation room of Lingyin Temple. He found Song Li's dog just now in half an hour. This person seems to have a special ability in chain tracing. Such a person cannot take root in Fengcheng!"

"He also knows that this business is dangerous, so he found Miao Ruolan as a partner!" The boss pushed his glasses lightly.

"Is Miao Ruolan really that strong? She looks so quiet..."

"The heir of ancient martial arts is very important. Remember, as long as Miao Ruolan is by his side, you must not touch her. If Miao Ruolan separates from him, you must not miss the opportunity. The money has been deposited into your account and the fake identity has been prepared for you. After you succeed, flee immediately!"

"Don't worry!" The young man licked his tongue, with a fierce light in his eyes.

The black car started and joined the crowd...

At noon, Miao Ruolan entered the library. When she saw Lin Xiaosu, he was half lying on the sofa, looking at a screen in front of him. The screen was rotating in front of him. It was a latitude and longitude map. This was another way of reading in the library: electronic reading.

The electronic reading connects the database, covering everything from astronomy to geography.

As long as you are interested in reading, you can search for all public information and display it to you on an electronic screen for your reading.

"What are you looking at?" Miao Ruolan put the lunch box in front of him.

"geography."

“Are you interested in geography?”

"Of course, as a detective, I will inevitably travel back and forth between the north and the south in the future... Hmm? Beef rice?" Lin Xiaosu opened the lunch box and the aroma filled his nose.

Miao Ruolan smiled gently: "Today is a great day for the opening of the business. You made 3 yuan in one go. Can't I give you an extra meal?"

"It's us! We made 3 yuan!" Lin Xiaosu gently scratched Miao Ruolan's nose with the tip of his chopsticks.

Miao Ruolan seemed to enjoy his intimacy and smiled sweetly: "You eat here, I'll go borrow a book too."

When Lin Xiaosu came out of the library and returned to the store, he saw the book in Miao Ruolan's hand: "Survey"...

"Have you really started learning?" Lin Xiaosu said.

Miao Ruolan said: "You are so talented and work so hard, why shouldn't I work hard?"

"You're trying hard, can you see it?"

Miao Ruolan scratched her head: "I've definitely gone in, but whether I can stay here is a big suspense. I feel like my brain is like a sieve, knowledge goes in at the front and out at the back..."

She spent the whole afternoon reading seriously.

One night, continue reading.

In the morning, she felt that the great knowledge of detective seemed to have opened a crack in her brain, but it seemed that it had not opened yet. Anyway, her head was full of various terms...

"It's raining!" Lin Xiaosu came out from the next room.

"Don't do any cases in this weather. In forensic science, it is said that rain will erase the traces and dilute the smell."

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Don't tell me that you read a book all night."

That’s right!
She actually read a book all night.

Miao Ruolan smiled gently, went downstairs, and opened the door of the shop...

I went out to buy breakfast and just came back with fried dough sticks and soy milk when a car came rushing over. A middle-aged woman got out of the car and ran hurriedly to the detective agency. Miao Ruolan judged based on the investigation science she had studied all night that this woman... was very anxious.
