Chapter 10 Job Search

John laughed and took out a bunch of keys: "The first gift is a detective agency. If you want to be a detective, you can keep it. If you don't want to be a detective, you can also sell the detective agency."

Liang Xi was startled: "John, your health is not bad enough to retire."

John did not answer Liang Xi's question, but pushed the key in front of Liang Xi and said: "The detective agency is yours now. I have contacted the lawyer and he will complete the procedures for you. After the procedures are completed, the lawyer will give you

Your check for five thousand pounds is used as the daily expenses of the detective agency. Whether you can make money depends on your ability."

Liang Xi heard a little question: "Why did the lawyer give me five thousand pounds?"

John replied: "Because the lawyer owes me five thousand pounds, and I use this name to let him pay back the money."

Liang Xi nodded, that's it. I believe you.

John pushed the desk car key to Liang Xi: "As a detective, you definitely need transportation tools. That car is yours too."

John thought that Liang Xi would be very happy, but he didn't expect that Liang Xi drank a cup of tea in silence before accepting the key. The expression on his face was unpredictable. This was a cocoon. It was originally a prank to play on John, but he didn't expect that the clown at the end turned out to be a prank.

It's me. The old guy didn't expect that he would plot against him, so he turned around and tricked himself, right?

Mary did not participate in the conversation between the two men. When she heard this, she found that the cake baking time had come, so she went to the kitchen to get busy. John saw Mary entering the living room and going to the kitchen, but stopped talking. Liang Xi noticed something unusual and asked: "Do you want a divorce?"

"

The detective's imagination was just like this. It was not only strange, but also jumping. But John did not refute. He thought for a while and said, "If you can have dinner with Mary once a month, I think she will be very happy."

Liang Xi said: "30 times a month is fine. But your name is John Charles, not John Bill Gates."

John laughed: "Haha!"

This is an insinuation. John has been frequently interacting with an old friend named Matthew recently, and they all eat out, sometimes for the whole day. In addition to factors such as giving the detective agency and the car to Liang Xi, Liang Xi speculated that

It turns out that John has had an accident recently. Liang Xi listed John's possible accidents in his mind. Terminal illness? Impossible, because Mary is a retired doctor. Without Mary's forcing, John would not go for a physical examination. John would definitely be the last one to know.

For terminally ill people, apart from terminal illness, the next worst thing may be a marriage breakup.

John did not deny Liang Xi's proposed marriage change, which made Liang Xi quite worried. He knew Mary's love for John. For example, Mary would rather John lived like a vegetative state and she was busy serving and taking care of John every day.

She didn't want John to die on her own first. The marriage was a bigger blow to Mary than John's death.

However, John was a thief, and he did not admit the marriage change, which made Liang Xi unable to express his thoughts on the matter. Mary brought out the cupcakes, and the two men began to talk about the case again. Mary sat in a rocking chair, knitting a sweater,

Listening to the two men chatting, this is the happiest time for her now.



Liang Xi bought half a barrel of gasoline from his neighbor, said goodbye to Mary, got in the car, and drove to his residence. Liang Xi lived in an apartment on Longpu Road, not far from the university and the detective agency.

Langpu Road, also known as Apartment Road, is a well-known apartment-type residential community in London. The main tenants are white-collar workers and students. Liang Xi lives in 2102, Building 19. The room is not large, with a total area of ​​more than 50 square meters.

.One kitchen, one bathroom, one living room, and one room. The things in the house are very simple, including a second-hand computer, bed, table, chairs, and wardrobe. There is no coffee table or sofa in the living room. A pile of stacked plastic stools are placed in the corner to cope with the situation.

Possible visitors.

Liang Xi doesn't have many clothes, including T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers in summer. Sweaters, jackets, thermal underwear, jeans, and sneakers in winter. In spring and autumn, he decides what to wear based on the temperature of the day. The most expensive one is Mary's on Liang Xi.

After college, he bought a tailor-made suit from an Italian handmade tailor shop and a pair of leather shoes worth up to a thousand pounds. Liang Xi only wore this set of clothes once when he accompanied John to Belgium to handle a case.

After Liang Xi returned home, he boiled water first, took his underwear and T-shirt and took a shower. After the shower, the water was boiled, he made a cup of tea, sat in front of the computer and started writing his resume and preparing for a job. It is impossible to be a detective.

Detectives, no joke, will really starve to death on the streets as detectives. The only ones who can survive in the detective industry are private detectives. Their daily work is to conduct background checks on targets, incident investigations, etc. at the request of their employers. Strictly

Generally speaking, private detectives no longer belong to the category of traditional detectives.

As the hometown of Sherlock Holmes in the novel, London has an astonishing number of detective fans. In order to fulfill their detective dreams, many young people will open their own detective agencies. Normal cases are investigated by the police. Only when the victim or the victim’s family is dissatisfied

Only when the police investigation results are clear will they seek the help of detectives. There are also powerful people like Earl Davis who will seek the help of detectives only if they do not want to alert the police and the media.

There were not many bad guys in the first place, but the police took away the biggest piece of the cake, leaving even a few crumbs to satisfy the huge crowd of detectives. 10 years ago, with the popularization of surveillance in urban areas, the improvement of police technical capabilities, and the

With the improvement of legal awareness, detectives have become a very unpopular profession. In addition, young people of this generation rarely like slow-paced detective novels such as Sherlock Holmes. Not only are there no traditional detective agencies on the streets of London, but detectives are also often talked about on TV stations.

It has become a profession of ridicule and ridicule in the show.

The best choice is to become a police detective. Detectives are selected from the police, so they must first become a police officer.

There are three categories of British police. The first category is regular police, and the second category is community police, both of which require physical training and testing. Liang Xi has congenital mild flat feet, which does not affect his life, but his foot endurance is poor and is not suitable for long-distance running, mountain climbing and other endurance

Sports. Unable to pass physical fitness test by training.

The third category is volunteer police, which refers to police officers who have full-time jobs and use their spare time to perform police duties. Volunteer police do not have high physical requirements and receive a monthly subsidy. But the problem is that you first need to have a full-time job

As a job, detective is not a full-time job and is classified as an individual business owner or a corporate partner.

Graduation means unemployment, the future is in a fog, and you can't see clearly where your path is going?

Liang Xi ignored everything, entered the talent market online, and began to submit resumes. He did not look at majors or positions, only salary. Whether it was a company or a public official, he would apply for a position with a monthly salary of more than 3,000 pounds.

Resume. Cast a wide net and catch more fish. There will always be a few stupid personnel or bosses who will take a fancy to you.

After spending half an hour submitting his resume, Liang Xi picked up a book and started reading it. He had the same relaxed mentality as waiting for the scores after the college entrance examination. Now that all human beings can do is done, the next step can only be up to God's will.

However, Liang Xi was reincarnated without any luck or skills, and God felt that most bosses still had IQs. In the next week, Liang Xi didn't receive even half a call to apply for a job, and he even wondered if he had filled in the wrong number.

This is not a joke, he has calculated the probability. Why e-mail fraud is so rampant is not because the scammers are so clever, but because the population base is large, and there are always a few people who are fooled in percentage. Based on this logical inference, one hundred people

At least one of the twenty resumes should have found the right person.

After receiving a call from the lawyer, Liang Xi and the lawyer met at the coffee shop downstairs of the detective agency. The procedures were quickly completed. The Rose Detective Agency and the five thousand pounds were officially handed over to Liang Xi by John. After a week of waiting for the application result,

After eating food at John's house many times during this period, Liang Xi decided that he could not hang himself from a tree. So he decided to re-send his resume to the detective agency and wait for the recruitment results again.

When meeting with the lawyer, Liang Xi inquired and learned that the five thousand pounds was not the money the lawyer owed John, but John's own money. But John had told the lawyer to hand over the five thousand pounds to Liang Xi in the name of debt. In response to this,

Liang Xi was quite puzzled. On the one hand, Liang Xi did not find any signs of marriage change between John and Mary during the meal this week. On the other hand, even if the marriage changed, Liang Xi's relationship with John and Mary would not change. Why did he give himself five thousand pounds?

Woolen cloth?

After calling to inquire, John replied: "If you don't need it, you can return it to me."
