Chapter 27 Private Investigator
The looted cash amounted to exactly sixteen million.
In the afternoon, Lin Zheng had four suits made for everyone using the highest specifications and the best fabrics available on the market, two for spring and two for summer, so that if one got dirty, there would be a spare.
Although once these suits are made, everyone wearing them will probably look even less like good people.
But at least they look like a legitimate team, and their subsequent business ventures and operations seem somewhat profitable.
After the suits were made, Lin Zheng took everyone out for a seafood hot pot meal, enjoying lobster and abalone to their heart's content.
In the end, everyone received 100,000 yuan in cash as pocket money.
With Xia Yi included, the team now has a total of seventy-nine people, plus Lin Zheng to make it a total of eighty.
Money really doesn't last long once you start doing business. What would be enough for an ordinary person for a lifetime can be reduced to a fraction of its original value in just one day.
There are less than three million left.
Xia Yi was drinking her wine and thought there was still a lot left, since everyone didn't get much money. But when she roughly calculated it, she realized that...
"Is it almost all gone?! With this little money left, can we still open a large karaoke bar or something like that, as Young Master Lin suggested?"
Lin Zheng laughed and said, "This is definitely not enough, but aren't there other local bullies? These local bullies in our Southwest District are saving money for us. If we plunder them all, we'll have the funds."
Lin Zhengjian wondered what Xia Yi, who was slightly tipsy, was thinking, or rather, what she was curious about.
Lin Zheng answered his question directly:
"Don't worry, just like today, I know all the hideouts of these local thugs, including where they bury their treasures. Of course, I don't know about the smaller ones, but I believe you and your brothers can handle such small-scale resistance on your own."
During the dinner, Lin Zheng stood up, raised his glass, and shouted, "One month! In the northwest district of Jiangcheng, I will lead my brothers to completely turn this area that rightfully belongs to us into our territory! Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses together.
He shouted, "Respect Young Master Lin!"

"Damn it, these people who hunt wild animals are simply outrageous! They're lawless! They're making it impossible for us restaurants to do business!"
What are those reporters even doing?! I pay them to find evidence and report to the police, and they can't even find a single thing to use against the other side? A bunch of useless idiots! A bunch of good-for-nothings!
The general manager's office of a luxury hotel in the southwest region.
The man in dress pants and a shirt was venting his frustrations to his colleague.
The other person's friend was also a boss, but not in the catering industry: "Look how anxious you are. I know you're anxious, but don't rush, let me have a cup of tea first."
"No, Old Song! You still have time to enjoy your tea? Ever since that Boss Du's hotel opened, look how many fewer customers I've had in the last two years! He's clearly an illegal operator. Why is it that he can make a fortune through shady business while I can't earn a single penny by doing honest work?! Should good people be held at gunpoint?!"
My friend didn't say it aloud, but he was thinking to himself, "How can anyone do this kind of business on the right track?"
This industry is particularly chaotic and complicated. It involves wining and dining, giving gifts, building relationships, and maintaining relationships with high-end clients. Using cheap ingredients as a gimmick to get rid of clients has even become an industry norm.
While these aren't exactly crooked or evil ways, they're hardly the right path either.
The restaurant owner, seeing his friend laughing, was furious: "What are you laughing at? If you don't tell me, do you have a solution? Tell me now!"
"Alright, if you're in such a hurry, why don't you report it yourself? You already know it's Boss Du who's making money off you, wouldn't it be easy to report him?"
The restaurant owner was stunned and complained that the other party had asked a question he already knew the answer to:
"What do you think? That kind of guy is willing to go to jail. If I reported him, his men would smash my shop to pieces that very day! I heard... I heard from someone that he even has guns! Who can afford to mess with him?"
"So that's why!" My friend slowly took a sip of tea. "Professional matters should be handled by professionals. You know I was in the same situation as you last year, but the shop that stole my business went out of business not long after. Do you know why?"
Why?
"Because I'm handsome!"
"You son of a bitch! Tell me already, I'm dying of anxiety and you're still joking around! Just tell me already, okay?!" The restaurant owner couldn't help but curse in his hometown dialect.
My friend didn't take it seriously; instead, he found it endearing and meaningful.
"Actually, I know a master named Qin Hao. He is a private investigator. As long as you pay him to investigate, he can catch anyone who is doing something illegal or criminal. And even if he fails, it's the same as hiring a reporter; the responsibility is not yours."
"Private investigator? Are they reliable? The reporters I hired before were useless."
"That sounds reliable! I'll act as the middleman and introduce you to someone. It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the money! Give it a try!"
........
Late at night, a jeep pulled up near the entrance of the zoo.
A young man wearing a detective hat and a plaid T-shirt got out of the car after looking around to make sure no one was there, and stared at the closed zoo gate.
He pulled a mini camera out of his pocket.
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
"I finally found it!"
The man was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Even in the dead of night, one could see a strong sense of righteousness in his eyes.
His name is Qin Hao, he is 26 years old and a professional private investigator. Since he received a job from the restaurant owner half a year ago, he has been secretly investigating the owner's activities.
According to the information provided by the client, this Mr. Du is likely a businessman who illegally hunts and kills protected animals for food.
He thought that with his abilities, he could handle such a simple matter in half a month at most.
However, as Qin Hao delved deeper into the investigation, he discovered that this Boss Du was far more complex than he appeared on the surface.
It even seems to be related to a case he received a year ago involving a murderer on the run. During his investigation, he also discovered evidence of the other party's crimes, such as manufacturing homemade guns and trafficking animal bones.
After a six-month investigation, Qin Hao finally discovered a few days ago that the zoo seemed to be Boss Du's hideout.
Given the magnitude of this case and the number of crimes involved, if it can be resolved...
I'm sure I'm about to become a little famous in the detective world.
Upon reading this, Qin Hao excitedly grabbed his camera and began investigating the evidence.
He leaned against the corner of the wall and slowly groped along the wall until he saw a pool of animal excrement.
Although there is no evidence.
But his detective instincts told him for some reason that there seemed to be something wrong with the savings pool.
He was born with a strong seventh sense for crime, and he could easily detect any illegal or criminal activity, which is why he became famous.
Enduring the stench, we walked along the reservoir to the center.
A large mud-brick courtyard made his eyes light up: "This is it, absolutely this is it! I can already smell the criminals!"
He stood with his back to the corner of the wall and crept up to the front door, only to find that the door seemed to be open.
Moreover, one of the iron gates was missing, as if it had been knocked away by something.
"Don't move!"
Qin Hao stormed into the house alone, not caring what weapons the other party had. Qin Hao grew up in a family of martial arts masters, and before he could even walk, he learned internal energy.
His family's martial arts skills were so formidable that even armed criminals would be no match for him.
To his surprise, there seemed to be no one inside the house, only a deep pit in front of him.
My phone suddenly rang.
Startled, Qin Hao answered the phone, forgetting to mute it. He lowered his voice and said, "Hey? Why are you calling me at this hour? I'm investigating a case! If it's urgent, say so quickly. If not, I'm hanging up."
"What are you still investigating? Look at the photos I sent you! Boss Du has been arrested! He's already in jail! What have you been doing for the past six months? You took over a million yuan in commission from me, and I heard that someone else caught him in just one day?!"
"Huh? Boss Du got arrested? How is that possible?! He's very cautious; it took me half a year to find this out."
"Look at the photos yourself!"
Qin Hao didn't understand, so he quickly opened the photo the other party sent him and stared blankly at the scene of Boss Du being detained in the police car.
"How could this happen..."
