Chapter 296 Entrusted cases

   Finally, there were no accidents this time.

Dean drove to the office of 'Smith Detective Agency' in Los Angeles with his newly recruited younger brother, Happy. The address was on the golden floor of a commercial building. Not cheap.

   To a certain extent, the facade is indeed a filter for force and poverty.

   "Boss Dean, shall I follow in?"

  Happy, who was shameless, was very nervous at the moment, lingering behind Dean, his straight back subconsciously hunched over, full of lack of confidence.

   Not long ago, when his business was not going well, he tried to come here to learn something useful. As a result, people looked down on him for being a half-hearted, even a freelancer.

  Happy only reaped humiliation, and it was hard to say.

   "Be confident, man."

  Dean stopped and gave Happy, the little brother, the first holy word in life: "Happy, do you know how to make your bad life start to get better?"

   "Three principles!"

  Happy's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Boss Dean, tell me, I'll listen!"

  The chance to change your destiny in life may be in a flash.

  Dean, who has always been touted by Harry as a good brother, is undoubtedly such a successful person in the eyes of Happy, who can give him guidance in the direction of life.

   "Persevere! Shameless! Persevere, shameless!"

  Dean shrugged: "If you can learn these three things, then ninety percent of the things in the world will not be difficult for you. Let's go, we have to do serious things."

  Looking at the back of Dean leaving, Happy touched his face.

  The three things the boss said, I seem to have only done shameless!

  He seems to understand why he has a good hacking technique, but his life is still a mess.

   It turned out that I was too reserved.

   "FK, if you lose face, you can lose face. As long as I am shameless, then there is nothing to be nervous about!"

this moment.

  Happy, who was still a little apprehensive at first, suddenly felt that his heart had become extremely strong, and he was not worried about whether the people in it would mock him like last time, so he hurriedly followed.

   "Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"

  Beautiful front desk, seeing Dean in casual clothes, his eyes lit up.

   "Yes, I have an appointment. Check it out, Dean. I'm a consultant for the Smith Detective Agency. I'm here today to pick up some cases." Dean smiled brightly.

  Hearing that Dean is a consultant of the Smith Detective Agency, the receptionist looked at Dean's bright eyes and was almost drawn: "Consultant Dean, please sit down first, I will ask Mr. Ariel for you."

   After finishing speaking, she went backstage.

  Dean turned to look at Happy: "Look, isn't it very simple?"

  Happy pouted: "It's not fair, this woman didn't even verify your identity, Boss!"

  He thought of the scene when he came here last time, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

   What hurt him even more was that he realized one thing: the front desk didn't seem to have any impression of him at all, and before leaving just now, he gave himself a friendly look

  The other party doesn't even remember that there is someone like him, FK!

   not long.

  The front desk followed a middle-aged black man and returned here.

"I'm Ariel, and I'm the person in charge here." The middle-aged black man glanced at Dean and Happy with his keen eyes, and confidently put his hand in front of Dean, with scrutiny in his eyes: "You All right, Mr. Dean!"

"Hello!"

Dean held Ariel's hand and said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, Mr. Ariel, you grew up in the Commonwealth, you have more than ten years of military experience, and your right leg was injured, it should be an explosion Caused by this accident, it left you with very unpleasant memories, which caused you to like to eat desserts, habitually stay up late and suffer from insomnia, and could only rely on women to fall asleep. Ma'am, a **** battle is over"

  Ariel's pupils shrank violently.

   All right!

   There was a trace of respect and apology on his dark face: "Mr. Dean, the way you greet is very special."

  Dean let go of his hand and shrugged: "Sorry, I saw doubts in your eyes. I think this way of greeting will help us communicate in the future."

   "Yes, you are right." Ariel smiled wryly: "Mr. Dean, you are indeed the special consultant of the Smith Detective Agency. You are better than many detectives I know. Please follow me."

  Ariel's office is large and luxuriously decorated. On the front wall, there is an old rifle. Under the gun is a photo of him in military uniform and his comrades.

  The beauty at the front desk held two glasses of drinks and placed them in front of Dean and Happy. Before parting, Mimi quietly gave Dean a phone call gesture.

  Happy on the side saw it clearly, there was a note next to the drink that the woman gave Dean.

  Compared with the treatment I received last time.

  Happy was amazed in his heart, this might be the legendary food by face!

   Sit back in position.

  Ariel clasped his hands together, and regained confidence on his face: "Consultant Dean, the headquarters said that you want to select some suitable cases. What are your requirements for the cases?"

   "Outside of Los Angeles County, it's better to be a homicide case, private or police entrusted, it doesn't matter."

  Dean lowered his head and crumpled the note from the front desk just now into a small ball.

do not know why.

  After confirming Neil's position in his heart, he couldn't talk too much about other women.

  It was only then that Ariel realized that Dean came here this time only as a transit point for receiving cases, not to rely on his side.

  He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, I'll ask you now."

   As he spoke, Ariel walked to the open space of the corner bookshelf, pushed open a hidden door that fit the wall decoration, and disappeared into the office.

   Wait for him to leave.

  Happy, who was full of doubts, finally couldn't help looking at Dean: "Boss Dean, did you investigate that black man before you came?"

Dean raised his head and pointed to his eyes: "This is what I see, if you want to be a good detective, you have to learn to observe everything you see, and form an instinctive analysis in your mind .”

  Happy opened his mouth wide: "Boss, you mean, just now you just glanced at that Ariel, and analyzed so much information about him?"

  Dean nodded:

  "When he came out, he deliberately took big steps and increased the frequency, but the steps were uniform, and he couldn't hide the disharmony of his body, which showed that he had been injured and had been a soldier for many years.

  Ariel's old clothes indicate that he has lived in England for many years. Considering the situation there, he was most likely born in the Commonwealth.

   As for his years in the army, this requires you to understand the system over there.

  Ariel has a woman's perfume smell on her body, and her hair is not completely dry, which means that she has just taken a shower, and she doesn't need to take a shower for normal contact.

In addition, when Ariel spoke, there was residual candy between his teeth. This kind of situation rarely happens to a middle-aged man who has been in the army for many years. This shows that he uses candy as a substitute to transfer his anxiety. "

  His simple analysis brought Happy's sudden realization and admiration.

Happy's eyes were full of admiration: "Boss Dean, Harry said how powerful you are before. I never had an intuitive feeling. Now I know that it is because the guy's education level is too low to express your true level at all. one-tenth of

  Don't say it, this kid is indeed Harry's good brother, and he has all studied in the Kuagua God Sect.

   Regarding Happy's admiration, Dean has no waves in his heart.

  No way, he is so strong, as long as he makes a slight move, he will emit a dazzling light, attracting the admiration of the people around him.

  Hey, maybe this is the domineering spirit.

  After confirming that Dean is really a boss, Harpy couldn't restrain his desire to study: "Boss Dean, what should I do to exercise my observation ability?"

  Dean thought for a while, and said:

   "A very simple solution.

   When you are free, you can go to some restaurants or fast food restaurants with a lot of traffic, observe those customers, and analyze their occupation and personality through external manifestations such as clothing and behavior.

  If you have a companion.

  You can also analyze the relationship between them, and then go up to strike up a conversation to determine whether your analysis is correct. If not, reflect on the reason and record it.

  At the beginning, it may feel a little difficult, but after you have recorded a thousand or ten thousand guests, this observation ability will form your instinct, and the accuracy is very high. "

  These are real learning experiences fed back to Dean's mind after his various abilities have been upgraded.

  Happy just needs to do what he says honestly. In the detective industry, he can earn a living and eat easily. As for how much he can do, it depends on his talent and opportunities.

  He was really lucky to meet Dean, and to be by Dean's side through Harry's relationship.

   During the conversation.

  Ariel, who disappeared, returned to the office with a few documents.

   "Consultant Dean, here is a nearby case that meets your requirements. You can take a look at the introduction. After confirming it, I will give you the details of the corresponding case."

  Ariel handed over some documents.

  Dean took a look and found that this was just a brief description of the case, similar to an introduction to the background.

There are several cases, including the murder of the husband and wife, the murder caused by the rich man's inheritance, and the disappearance investigation. These cases, on the police side, are either in the state of being left in the file room to eat ashes, or the case has been closed, and the client is the case. the family members of the perpetrator, or the family members of the victim.

   This is exactly what Dean guessed.

  General murder cases, when they appear in detective agencies, are basically these two situations.

  In this kind of case, it is estimated that the experience points gained will not be a lot, so it can only be used as a way to pass the time.

   Pick and choose.

  Dean finally left a case about the murder of a teacher by a student: "Mr. Ariel, please give me the details of the entrustment of this case and the contact information of the client, and I will accept it."

Ariel took the document and looked at it, frowning slightly: "Consultant Dean, I have to remind you that this case was discovered in a small town, the case was in bad condition, it caused a lot of repercussions in the local area, and the case has been closed, if If you go to investigate, it may attract the lack of cooperation of the police and the hostility of the local people."

Dean didn't care and said: "I like challenges, and these commissions can be kept until now and appear in front of me. I guess there will be all kinds of troubles. If this is the case, I hope I can save a child who may be innocent, rather than Go deal with rich people who are vying for inheritance."

  Ariel pursed his lips, with a surprised expression on his face: "Well, in fact, many detectives prefer to take over commissioned cases related to rich people. Mr. Dean, you really have a heart of charity."

   After speaking, he re-entered the hidden small room with the documents he took out with a surprised expression.

  After he left, Dean turned to look at Happy, who had always been the mascot: "That guy just lied, do you know which sentence it is?"

   "Lying?"

  Happy looked bewildered, and then all kinds of infighting, **** plots and **** plots immediately appeared in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Boss Dean, you mean, Ariel doesn't want you to choose that case, because there is a conspiracy in it?"

  He was a little excited.

   I didn’t expect that as soon as I followed Dean, I would be able to live exciting things that I couldn’t encounter in my boring life in the past. If this is a movie, then Dean is the protagonist, and I must be the important second male next to the protagonist.

  Don't say it, I'm looking forward to it.

  Looking at Happy's ever-changing expression, Dean couldn't help but roll his eyes:

   "Don't think about it.

   The case is fine, except that Ariel lied.

   In the process of detective investigation, it is inevitable to encounter all kinds of lies, so it is also very important to determine whether others are telling the truth or lies.

  Harry said you would love to be a detective and begged me to teach you something useful, so when the time is right, I'll teach live and make a few remarks. "

  Happy was a little disappointed to hear that there was no conspiracy theory he thought of: "Thank you, Boss Dean, but I don't know which sentence Ariel lied just now."

   "The most direct way to distinguish lies is to look at the behavioral characteristics and facial expressions of the speaker, such as surprise." Dean said, looking at Happy with a smirk: "Do you know what real surprise is?"

  Happy frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Sorry, I haven't observed it usually."

  Dean grinned and patted him on the shoulder: "If you want to study, come to my rental house with soap at night."

   "Hiss~"

  Happy gasped, tightened his ass, looked at Dean in horror, and then showed a tangled expression on his face: "That."

"Your reaction just now was real surprise." Dean leaned back again and leaned on the sofa: "A real sudden reaction, such as surprise, surprise, etc., will be reflected on the face for no more than a second, but If a person shows surprise when he hears something while chatting with you for more than a second, then what he said afterwards must be a lie."

  Hearing this, Happy breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost.

   It turns out that the one-on-one tutoring that Boss Dean mentioned is an example.

  He shook his head, suppressed his messy thoughts, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "So the last sentence of Ariel just now is false, right, Boss Dean?"

  Happy used to make a living by hacking, so he is naturally not a stupid person.

  Dean nodded: "Yes, when he just went in to get the information, he should have spent some time investigating me."

   "But." Happy said suspiciously: "Boss Dean, Ariel just praised you, you mean, he didn't want to praise you at all?"

   Isn’t this just a polite remark?

  Dean shook his head, showing a weird smile that made Happy feel a little creepy: "I mean, Ariel knows, I've never been a charitable person!"

   After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ariel who had just come out of the darkroom and stood there awkwardly. The weird smile on his face also turned into a playful one.

  Ariel smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm investigating you, it's just a professional habit."

  He realized that Dean let himself hear this sentence on purpose, and the other party was warning himself not to investigate him.

  Think of the information you get from your investigation.

  When Ariel communicated with Dean again, he felt the discomfort and fear that even Happy felt.

  In this weird atmosphere.

  Dean walked out of the Los Angeles office of the 'Smith Detective Agency' with the detailed information on the murder of the beautiful teacher by the student and the contact number of the client.

   Documents At Dean's request, Ariel prepared two copies.

  Dean handed a copy to Happy: "Happy, tonight, you should read the information carefully. Tomorrow we will go to the client's house and conduct on-the-spot investigation."

   Watching the exhaust of the car Dean leaves.

  Happy's lips squirmed, but in the end he still didn't say what was in his heart: Boss Dean, is the tutoring at night really true? !
