American comic mercenaries

Chapter 2 Finding Someone



At ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Zu finished exercising in the basement and drove to a three-story building called Liberty Detective Company in Flushing, Queens.

"Happy New Year, Li Xue." Meng Zu opened the door and greeted the young girl at the front desk.

"Happy New Year, Meng Zu." Li Xue responded with a smile.

When Meng Zu came to the second floor, he saw a young man and a middle-aged man sitting at the table looking at several forms and discussing things together. When he realized that Meng Zu was coming, the middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Azu, it seems that you are celebrating the New Year." You’re having a good time!”

"It's okay, Uncle Yang, what are you and Xiaohai discussing?"

The middle-aged man named Yang Guang is his adoptive father Zhang Jun's partner during his lifetime. He is also Chinese and a mercenary. The young man named Yang Hai is Yang Guang's son. This detective company was also opened by his adoptive father Zhang Jun and Yang Guang. Yes, after all, everyone will grow old one day. When mercenaries get old, they are no longer suitable to be mercenaries, so this detective company is the escape route they have arranged for themselves. However, the company has only been open for a few years. The adoptive father Zhang Jun He died of cancer, and Meng Zu naturally became one of the two bosses.

Yang Hai studied law in college. The private detective industry often encounters clients that would violate the law. Therefore, people who understand the law need to be in charge, otherwise they will be frequently visited by the police.

"Brother Zu, I have a commission here. Are you interested?" Yang Hai picked up a form and raised it.

"Oh?" Meng Zu took the form and looked at it. The Foxes' son went to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan with his friends during the holidays. Three days ago, the Foxes were unable to contact their son and his friends. They were worried. When something happened to them, they came to the Free Detective Company yesterday based on a friend's introduction to commission an investigation, hoping to find their son and bring him back.

Since Meng Zu had the skill of clue guidance, all the more time-consuming and difficult tasks entrusted by the detective company have been completed, which makes the freelance detective company still have a good reputation in the industry.

"Fifty thousand US dollars, it seems that the family is in good condition!" Meng Zu said with a smile as he looked at the amount on the order form.

"Azu, since the employer is willing to pay us [-] US dollars and only came to us three days later, most of them have already called the police, but the police have not found them. Do you think you should accept this task?" As an old mercenary, , Uncle Yang can naturally see some basic information from the Fox couple's commission. Tasks like this are difficult to complete.

"It's okay, Uncle Yang. There will be a result no matter what." Meng Zu said disapprovingly. A task like this to find someone is quite troublesome for others, but for him who has the skill of clue detection, it is Very well done, you can get the answer whether you are alive or dead.

After all, today is already 2010, and yesterday was the last day of 09. Meng Zu still remembers that Tony Stark became Iron Man in 10. After Tony became Iron Man, he seemed to have sent a signal to the world, one by one. Super villains and superheroes slowly appeared one after another.

The earth also started to become less peaceful this year, so Meng Zu planned to start working twice as much this year, so that he could get more employment points, and the stronger he became, the more secure he would feel. As for why he didn't work twice as much before , What a joke, just like students doing homework during vacation and completing tasks at work in the company. That one is not completed by working overtime until the end.

After Meng Zu decided to take on this mission, the system also generated a mission, a hiring mission: Find Sam Fox and bring him back. The hiring value is 50 points.

"It's actually worth 50 points. It seems to be a difficult task to complete." Meng Zu muttered in his heart. Meng Zu had taken on many tasks like finding people before, usually with a hiring value of more than 20 points. Those over fifty are the ones that are difficult to find without clues, which is what people say has been lost. If Meng Zu had no clues to guide this skill, the final result of this kind of mission might be like that of most private detectives. Nothing came of it.

Meng Zu took the photo left by the Foxes and looked at the young boy Sam Fox in the picture. He came to the detailed city map of the United States and activated the clue guidance skill.

There was a change in Mengzu's vision. A red dotted line with an arrow was generated from Sam Fox's photo, and then pointed to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan on the map. "People are still in Sault Ste. Marie, staying here." It won’t be long, so at least someone will still remember seeing him.”

"Uncle Yang, Xiaohai, I'm leaving." Meng Zu put the photo in his pocket, said hello to the two of them, then went downstairs and left.

The distance from New York to Sault Ste. Marie is not too far, and it only takes two or three hours to fly. After returning home and parking the car in the garage, Meng Zu took a taxi to the airport.

Sitting on the plane, Meng Zu closed his eyes and rested. After waking up, he arrived in Sault Ste. Marie. To say Sault Ste. Marie is a city is better to call it a small town. The place is not big and is only four or five kilometers away. .

Mengzu went to a car rental company and rented a car, which made it easier for him to search for clues everywhere. Mengzu did not use the clue guidance skill again. After all, it takes 20 energy points to use it once. He has only restored 55 energy points now, so he might as well save it. use.

Meng Zu drove to the local police station. According to what Uncle Yang said, the Foxes should have called the police. The police here should have also contacted Sam and the others, and they might be able to get some clues from them.

When he saw Meng Zu entering the police station, a white policeman in his 40s did not approach him with a bad attitude because he was Asian. Instead, he asked politely, "Hello, sir, may I ask? Is there anything you need?"

White policeman (;¬_¬): You said you have a bad attitude?What, didn't you see that this guy is obviously a rich man in his outfit? It's easy to get substantive complaints if you offend a rich man.

"Hello, my name is Meng Zu. What is the name of this police officer?" Meng Zu reached out and shook the other person's hand.

"My name is Ryan."

"Officer Ryan, I am a private detective and I want to find out something from you. Maybe we can chat at the coffee shop opposite the police station." Meng Zu said with a smile.

Officer Ryan's eyes moved slightly and he said with a smile: "Of course. As an American police officer, it is my responsibility to help others."

The two came to the coffee shop and sat down. Meng Zu ordered two cups of coffee. When the coffee was delivered by the waiter, Meng Zu smiled and handed the waiter a $10 tip.

Seeing Meng Zu tipping $10 just for two cups of coffee, Officer Ryan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Meng Zu took out Sam's photo and put it on the table, then took out one green Franklin after another from the side of his wallet. While saying: "Officer Ryan, this kid's name is Sam Fox. He came to Sault Ste. Marie with his friends before. Do you know where they ended up?"

Seeing five Franklins placed on the table, Officer Ryan sat upright and took them away calmly, and then said with an upright face: "Ahem! Mr. Meng Zu, you can easily attract those gangsters by putting money on the table like this. I'll keep it safe for you first because of the little gangster's eyes."

"This child's parents also came to our police station to search for them before. The result of our search was that they ended up in the direction of Lake Superior near Marquette. We asked all the surrounding bars and motels, and they only saw These children have been here once and have never been seen again, and we did not find them through surveillance on the surrounding roads."

"If you want to find them, you can only go over there and ask, but I don't think there is much hope."

"Officer Ryan, thank you very much for your help. This is already good news for me, so I will leave first." At this time, Meng Zu also drank up the coffee.

"As expected of a rich man, he is generous with his actions." Officer Ryan watched Meng Zu leave and slowly drank coffee in a happy mood. Meng Zu had already paid for these two cups of coffee in advance.

In the United States, if you want to ask the police for clues and information, unless you are the FBI or IRS or a lawyer related to the case, the police will not bother you at all. Of course, as a capitalist country, most things can be done through Franklin. Solve, and the small part of things that cannot be solved can only mean that you do not have enough Franklin.

All these principles were told to Meng Zu by Zhang Jun, his adoptive father, during his lifetime. After Meng Zu graduated, he truly understood the correctness of these principles.
