Xiao Mao went into the west room and called out to Bao Liang. Then, he returned to the main hall and said to Wu Entai with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you to wait for a while. My boss is working on the photos. We can't let anyone else do it. You know that. "
Most people who hired private detectives to investigate things wanted to keep it a secret. No one wanted the things they found to be exposed in front of others. Although Bao Liang's behavior at this time was a little rude to the client, it was undoubtedly cautious and professional.
Therefore, Wu Entai nodded and looked very understanding. He held his teacup and waited with peace of mind.
About ten minutes later, Bao Liang came out of the dark room in the west room. He grabbed a towel and wiped his hands as he walked into the main hall. When he looked at the two guests sitting in the reception area, Wu Entai and Xu Jian also turned to look at him.
The moment Bao Liang saw Wu Entai, his expression froze slightly and his footsteps stopped. However, everything returned to normal after a few tenths of a second. He greeted Wu Entai with a smile, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Wu Entai sat there and didn't get up. He said calmly, "It's okay. Detective Bob is very professional."
After Bao Liang sat down, he handed the towel to Xiao Mao, who was standing beside him. He picked up the teapot and filled Wu Entai and Xu Jian's tea before he said, "What kind of business can I help you with?"
"What kind of business does Detective Bob accept?" Wu Entai asked with some interest.
"Marital loyalty investigation, searching for people and objects, fighting fraud and rights protection, market research and analysis. As long as you need it, our firm can accept it." Bao Liang introduced with a calm attitude.
"Can we do it in private?" Wu Entai asked tentatively.
"Sure." Bao Liang nodded. He stood up and gestured to the east room. "This way, please."
The boss had already said in private. Xu Jian sat there without moving. With a smile on his face, Xiao Mao pushed the dried fruit on the table toward him and asked tentatively, "Bro, you guys are …"
"The boss didn't tell me, so I'm not sure."
Xu Jian replied expressionlessly. Xiao Mao gave a hollow laugh and stopped asking.
The east room was quite large, but most of the space was occupied by two rows of standing safes. Although all of them looked half-new, and their specifications were not uniform, the workmanship and material were very sturdy, and there was no problem with their safety.
Next to the window was Bao Liang's desk. Like the other furnishings in the office, it was quite old. He tidied up quickly. Other than the calendar, there was a desktop monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a Dell laptop.
Bao Liang gestured for Wu Entai to sit in the seat prepared for the guests. He walked around the office desk and sat in the big office chair at the back. He looked at Wu Entai with a smile, waiting for him to speak.
But after Wu Entai sat down, he kept looking at the layout of the room. He had no intention of speaking at all.
After waiting for five or six seconds, Bao Liang saw that Wu Entai didn't even look at him. He could only take the initiative to speak, "Excuse me, what's your surname?"
"Didn't you know my surname a long time ago?" Wu Entai finally looked at Bao Liang. He still had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was very lazy.
In contrast, Bao Liang's face suddenly changed. Not only did his body tense, but the expression on his face also froze in an instant. His right hand subconsciously clenched the mouse next to him, as if he was going to throw it at Wu Entai in the next second.
"Don't be nervous." Wu Entai smiled and waved his hand. He still maintained his lazy sitting posture and raised his hand to point in the direction of the main hall. "You see, I only brought a driver today. I don't mean any harm."
Wu Entai's words made Bao Liang relax a little. He let go of the mouse in his hand and leaned back against the back of the big office chair.
Wu Entai waited for a while. When he saw that Bao Liang was looking at him vigilantly, he said, "I came this time because I wanted to get to know Detective Bob. Your professionalism has really shocked me.
If Boss Lin hadn't told me personally, I would never have thought that I would be under surveillance all the time. Also … "
Wu Entai didn't finish his sentence, but Bao Liang could guess what he didn't say. Wu Entai simply didn't expect that the password he used on the forum would be cracked.
"Boss Wu, did you really come today just to get to know me?" Bao Liang asked tentatively. He didn't seem to have any reaction to what Wu Entai said about Lin Haizhen betraying him.
"Yes." Wu Entai nodded with certainty. He looked at Bao Liang with admiration and said, "Detective Bob just perfectly fulfilled his agreement with the client. Although it caused me quite a bit of loss … it doesn't matter. Someone will pay for it anyway."
"Don't tell me Boss Lin already …" Bao Liang became nervous again. He seemed to understand why Lin Haizhen betrayed him.
"How is that possible!" Wu Entai laughed loudly and pointed at Bao Liang. "It's not like you don't know where Old Lin and I agreed to meet. Why would I do something out of line in a place like a teahouse? This is China.
Also, am I the kind of person who kills? "
"I'm not sure if Boss Wu is a bloodthirsty person, but I know that the owner of the ID you're using right now went to Thailand last month. He hasn't returned yet," Bao Liang said meaningfully.
"Don't misunderstand. Mr. Sun is having a lot of fun in Thailand right now. I only spent money to rent his ID for a while. Detective Bob, if you don't believe me, you can contact his family.
You'll find that he's been in constant contact with his family over the phone for the past month. It's just that his family always thought that he was on a business trip in Huacheng. "
Seeing that Bao Liang's face was still full of suspicion, he said, "I believe that with Detective Bob's ability, it'll be easy for him to find out how to contact Mr. Sun's family. You can just call them and verify it.
Actually, there's no need. After I go back, Mr. Sun will be back in China soon. Whether or not he's been threatened or harmed, you'll be able to make a direct judgment. "
"I believe you." Bao Liang nodded. "I also believe that with this cooperation, Mr. Sun will probably travel to Southeast Asia frequently in the future."
"Haha, Detective Bob is a smart man." Wu Entai nodded. "Separated by thousands of kilometers, two people who aren't related by blood can grow up like brothers. I can't help but marvel at the wonders of the Creator. This is also a kind of fate, isn't it? "
"Each takes what he needs. For you and Mr. Sun, this should be a good deal." Bao Liang interpreted the relationship between Wu Entai and Mr. Sun from another angle.
The identity card that Wu Entai was using now belonged to a Shanghai man named Sun Hao. This Sun Hao's facial features were 80% similar to Wu Entai's. He was slightly taller than Wu Entai and slightly heavier.
Last month, he used the excuse of a business trip to travel to Thailand with his lover. Halfway through the trip, his lover was hospitalized due to diarrhea, and the two of them left the tour group.
A day later, Sun Hao contacted the tour group and said that his company had an urgent matter and he had to leave the tour group early to return to China.
It was very common for tour groups to leave the tour group halfway due to urgent matters or health reasons. As long as they didn't ask for a refund, they usually wouldn't pay too much attention.
That night, Sun Hao boarded the flight back to China with his lover.
After the task force got hold of the information on the fake identity card used by Wu Entai, they immediately checked the immigration records. They found that although the lover didn't change during the return trip, Sun Hao had become Wu Entai.
This kid wore high heels when he entered the country, and he even put on some simple makeup. He successfully hid from the customs officers and sneaked in under the name of Sun Hao.
Then, the lover flew back to Shanghai alone. During this period of time, she relied on the large sum of money in her account and lived a very carefree life.
Like her, Sun Hao, who stayed in Thailand, also lived a very carefree life for the past month. Other than contacting his parents and wife through the phone from time to time, he lied that he was on a business trip in Huacheng.
With the company of Wu Entai's subordinates, he almost traveled all over Thailand and visited all the famous large-scale entertainment venues. Half a month ago, he needed to rely on medicine to maintain his "interest". Now, he almost had to lean against the wall when he went out.
The task force had already explained this to Bao Liang, so Bao Liang purposely brought up Sun Hao to give Wu Entai a chance to prove his character.
Seeing that Bao Liang was completely relaxed, Wu Entai gestured to Bao Liang and himself and said meaningfully, "Actually, Detective Bob and I can also benefit from each other."
"Then … Mr. Wu, what kind of business do you want to help me with?" Bao Liang asked with great interest.
"Not yet." Wu Entai smiled and shook his head. Without waiting for Bao Liang to show a disappointed expression, he said, "I came this time to get to know Detective Bob. We have a mutual understanding and a preliminary trust. I believe that there will be a lot of business to do in the future."
Bao Liang's face instantly showed a smile of understanding. He stood up and took the initiative to shake Wu Entai's hand. He promised, "Mr. Wu, don't worry. Although this place is simple and crude, my professionalism can stand the test of time."
Wu Entai also stood up and shook Bao Liang's hand. He said, "I used to have a friend from the northeast of China. His catchphrase is, 'Steamed buns have meat, but not the folds.' I have already experienced Detective Bob's professionalism. I believe that we will have a very pleasant cooperation in the future. "
"Definitely!"
Wu Entai didn't stay at Bao Liang's office for long. After expressing his intentions, he left with Xu Jian.
On the way back in the car, Wu Entai suddenly asked Xu Jian, "You were in charge of communications in the army, right?"
"I was in charge of cable," Xu Jian explained.
"My house should have been installed with miniature cameras and listening devices. Please help me clean it up later." Wu Entai ignored Xu Jian's explanation and directly made a request.
