Shangjing Mintai Affairs Investigation Center.
Just from the name alone, this place seemed to be very powerful.
But in fact, this was a so-called private detective company.
The illegal kind.
In 1993, the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice prohibiting any unit or individual from opening various forms of civil affairs investigation, security affairs investigation, and other private private detective agencies. The prohibited services included: handling civil and economic disputes, debt recovery, security and technical consulting, investigations involving personal privacy, and so on.
In 2002, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce Trademark Office adjusted the scope of trademark registration. The original 42 categories of goods and services were expanded to 45 categories. Among them, the new permitted registration categories included the provision of private bodyguards, detective companies, and "security services" such as search and investigation.
Therefore, many detective companies even had a formal registered trademark of "private detective."
However …
A strange thing happened.
The State Administration for Industry and Commerce allowed the registration of trademarks, but it did not mean that the ban on "private detective" had been lifted.
It was precisely because of this that private detective was still an illegal industry.
The reason why the Ministry of Public Security prohibited it was mainly because private detective investigations were likely to touch on other people's privacy. Moreover, the evidence and materials provided by private detectives were not credible, and there was even the possibility of falsification.
The state prohibited it, but the consumer market had a huge demand.
Therefore, in recent years, there were more and more private detective companies with names such as "consulting companies," "public affairs investigation centers," and "public affairs investigation centers."
These companies that called themselves public affairs investigation agencies had a wide range of services, including: search, emotional loyalty investigation, child behavior monitoring, recovery of large debts, whereabouts investigation, credit investigation, intellectual property investigation, as well as anti-counterfeiting and protection of rights, economic intelligence investigation, and so on.
If private detectives wanted to complete their business, they could only use methods such as tracking, stalking, and candid photography to obtain the corresponding evidence.
However, this kind of evidence collection method would inevitably seriously infringe on the privacy of the investigated person, and may even endanger the normal production and living order of other people, causing innocent victims. Therefore, it was prohibited by law.
Article 42 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law clearly stated that: Peeping, candid photography, eavesdropping, and spreading other people's privacy would be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan. If the circumstances were serious, the detention would be more than five days but less than ten days, and a fine of not more than 500 yuan could be imposed.
It was precisely because of the fear of public security agencies that many detective companies were secretive about their business. The company's address and contact information were often changed, and it was difficult to find. Naturally, it was very mysterious.
…
As one of the leading private detectives in Shangjing, Feng Mintai was not as low-key as the average person.
He had his professional dignity and was determined to be the spokesperson for the private detective industry!
Therefore, after he became famous, Feng Mintai moved his company to a 5A grade office building and swore that he would never be like a rat in the gutter, hiding all day long.
Of course, his company's main business was consulting, not private investigation.
On this day, Feng Mintai welcomed a group of strange customers.
A man who looked to be less than thirty years old was holding a four or five-year-old little girl in his arms. The little girl was holding a black kitten in her arms.
Feng Mintai originally thought that it was some kind of custody dispute, so he didn't bother and just sent someone to receive them.
However, less than half a minute after the receptionist left, he scrambled over, saying that it was a big client and that he needed to attend to him personally.
Feng Mintai had not personally received a customer for many years.
After all, he was now a successful person with a certain social status.
If he wanted to receive them personally, they had to be well-known figures in the legal world or leaders of public security organs.
However, since the client had requested it, there was no harm in meeting him.
However …
Feng Mintai walked into the reception room calmly and sat opposite the man with a strong aura.
The man's first sentence immediately scared him so much that he couldn't help but stand up.
"Ten million to help me find a person. If you really can't find him, it's okay … As long as you can provide me with useful clues, a clue for a million, how about that?"
Ten million to find a person.
Even if he couldn't find the person, as long as he could provide clues, a clue was worth a million.
Was this a police warrant?
Feng Mintai had been in the business for so many years, but he had never seen such a big client.
How was this a client? This was a f * cking God of Wealth!
How much did he earn per month to support an employee?
The cost of living in Shangjing was not low. Feng Mintai offered the basic employees a basic salary of four thousand. If there was business, he would receive a commission based on the business unit price.
Because of the special nature of the work, the employees would receive a living allowance of two hundred yuan per day during the performance of the business.
Even so, taking everything into account, how much was an employee's monthly salary?
Fifty million. Feng Mintai could immediately pull out a reinforced company of people to serve the God of Wealth in front of him.
Moreover, their industry was different from other industries. The industry had frequent exchanges, and there was no competition among the same industry.
Similar to the business of finding people, when he received a commission, his colleagues from all over the country would take the initiative to disclose relevant clues to him. Then, he would distribute the information to his colleagues.
Wasn't it difficult to find a person who owed money and ran away, hiding in a small county town?
But didn't they also catch one accurately?
Finding people was too easy!
Therefore, even with Feng Mintai's current self-cultivation, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Their industry usually required a deposit of twenty percent. However, because the contract amount was too large, Feng Mintai only symbolically asked for a deposit of one hundred thousand yuan. Then, he patted his chest and promised that he could definitely find this person!
The God of Wealth seemed to be very satisfied with Feng Mintai's professionalism. After listening to his bragging, he decisively paid the deposit, then carried the child and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Feng Mintai immediately called for two lackeys.
The three of them escorted the God of Wealth all the way downstairs. Then, they nodded and bowed as they respectfully sent the God of Wealth off.
After the God of Wealth left, one of the lackeys asked with a little doubt, "Boss, who is that? Didn't you say that we have to pay attention to style now? Why do I feel that our behavior just now was very degrading? "
Hearing this, Feng Mintai jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head. Then, he shouted loudly, "Degrading, degrading, what else do you know other than cutting people? That's the God of Wealth, my grandpa, and also your grandpa! Do you understand? Learn from me, all of you. Let's go up and have a meeting. Call those guys back. Let's get to work! "
After explaining the task to Feng Mintai, Chen Xi took the little girl straight to Tiananmen, ready to play in Shang Jing.
What he didn't know was …
Just as he was looking for the help of a private detective.
In Zhonghai, Ning Zhongguo and Xu Wei also took action.
Two big networks were launched from two super-first-tier cities in Hua Xia at the same time. They were bound to find that person for him!
