Chapter 17 Make Money
Life requires planning, and revenge requires planning.

Since John was killed, his short-term goal must be to kill the murderer's family.Grief is over, hatred is forever.To kill the murderer's family, you must first know the identity of the murderer.To know the identity of the murderer, you must first have resources.If you want to master certain social and judicial resources, you must first have money.If you want to be rich, you must first ensure that you will not starve to death.

What Liang Xi regretted most was that when he ran errands as an assistant a few years ago, he did not accumulate certain social resources from the high-class people.

The first step of Liang Xi's revenge plan: earn living expenses.Part-time work is impossible, part-time work can only provide food and clothing, and one must start a business.Entrepreneurship is risky, so choose the smallest investment, the highest income career.

Go ahead and start by buying a folding table, a few decks of cards, plus bowls and beans, and set up a stall in Burning Park with the Beetles.Put a hat on the table and start playing close-up poker magic.

The close-up magic corresponds to the mechanism magic.There are so many tricks for organ magic, such as magnets with shameless points, projectors with shameless points, chainsaws with shameless points, and so on.Close-up magic is mainly played with techniques.This is even more true of bean magic. Simply put, it is stealing beans, stealing beans and hiding them in the hands of the public.

Today is Sunday and there are many tourists in the park.At first, the magic booth only attracted a few children to watch, but soon because of the children's exclamation, adults stopped to watch Liang Xi and the children perform interactive magic.The most fascinating thing about magic is: how is it done?Once the audience has this idea, the magic show is a success.Considering the morality of magic, the process of magic is not described in detail.

The income is not bad, one pound is the main force.During the period, there was a blonde girl as cute as Barbie, very cheering and applauding all the time.Liang Xi also took good care of her and played with her alone many times.This is where the detective is damned. Liang Xi found out at a glance that the little girl was wearing a wig, and knew that she was sick after just a few words of interaction.

Little girls like bean magic, and poker magic is more appealing to most audiences.Under the tilt of the gameplay, and there are people who play the violin and the piano nearby, the income gradually decreases.However, the smile on the little girl's face and the giggling of the little hen made Liang Xi very happy.After being reminded many times by her mother, the little girl reluctantly said goodbye to Liang Raizhang.Before the little girl's father left, he put a fifty-pound note into his hat and shook hands with Liang Si to express his gratitude.

Sitting on a bench on one side was a man in a suit with brown curly hair, about 35 years old, dressed like a Wall Street gold collar.The beard on the chin is as well groomed as the hair.While he was sitting on the bench watching magic tricks for half an hour, at least three nympho women asked him for their phone numbers.Liang Xi couldn't deny that this guy had the charm of a typical uncle.In TV dramas, it's either the male number one or the male number two.

In the evening, Liang Xi began to close the stall. The man walked up to Liang Xi and extended his hand to introduce himself: "My name is Charlie."

Liang Xi looked at the man named Charlie and shook hands with him: "My name is Richard." He squeezed out a social smile.He didn't give money, and he didn't want to get close to him.

Charlie didn't care and asked, "Can I treat you to dinner if it's convenient?"

Liang Xi hehe said: "You misunderstood, I don't have any inclinations."

Charlie's smile was also squeezed out this time: "Neither did I."

Liang Xi: "That's a fart." You have to throw fifty pounds, and you can eat it.You don't give me a penny, you fool me into the restaurant, go to the bathroom and run away, leaving me to pay the bill, who am I going to cry for?
Charlie is looking for himself?Maybe there is, maybe not.If there is, he will always say it.If not, I have absolutely no interest in having dinner with a handsome uncle as Luye.This is the basic logic of Liang Xi's thinking.

Sure enough, Charlie said, "I want to ask you to find someone."

Liang Xi said, "I'm not looking for anyone."

Charlie asked, "Aren't you a detective from the Rose Detective Agency?"

Liang Xi replied, "The Rose Detective Agency doesn't look for anyone, but turn right on the corner of the street. There is a private detective agency over there."

Charlie laughed angrily: "What do you usually do?"

Liang Xi replied, "I usually have a job, do I still need to come out and do magic?" Even as his attitude became worse and worse, the other party remained patient, indicating that he wanted a lot of things.A person will never ask for much of himself because of magic.Charlie must have checked himself out.His own details can give Charlie a lot of things, only the thief part.Therefore, Liang Xi can basically judge: Charlie is not a good thing.

Charlie touched the beard on his chin and wondered in his heart that Liang Xi had a good attitude towards everyone when he was doing magic, and even deliberately made a mistake in order to make the child laugh.Why do you treat yourself so badly?

Liang Xi finished collecting the stall, looked at Charlie, and said, "I'm just a little guy who obeys the law and has no desire to make a fortune. Goodbye."

Charlie raised his hand, watched Liang Xi leave, and called, "Liu Shu, how much money is in his account?"

Willow replied: "Five pounds."

Charlie asked in surprise, "Only five pounds in all accounts?"

Willow replied: "After deducting the information I can't find in outer space, yes. Bai Hua, are you still satisfied with him?"

Charlie said: "Satisfied, but he is not satisfied with me. Five pounds means that he is not the same as us, help me find the next person."

……

"Hello!" Liang Xi answered the phone.

"Liang Xi?"

"Correct."

"I'm Liu Zhen from the National Police Agency. We need an interpreter to assist with the work. Are you free now?"

"Have."

"Do you drive?"

"Yes."

"You go to Pier [-] and pull over after crossing the railway line."

"Ok."

Today is a good day, Liang Xi just finished ordering today's magic income of 82 pounds and was thinking about where to go for a big meal, when a part-time job called.However, the meeting place doesn't sound like a good job for paperwork translation.If it's just oral translation, I can't make much money by myself.The job Liang Xi most desires is that the police station asks him to translate all the books in the British Library.

10 hours a day, £800 a day, £[-] a month.Dreaming will wake up laughing.Money or money is second, mainly to help the police maintain social order and stability.

……

After crossing the railway line, Liang Xi pulled over to stop and waited for a while. A woman in her thirties in plain clothes pulled out the passenger seat and got into the car, saying, "Go straight."

Liang Xi drove, and the woman said, "I am Liu Zhen, are you Liang Xi?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Hello, Inspector Liu."

Liu Zhen asked, "Chinese?"

Liang Xi asked in Chinese, "Yes, Inspector Liu is also Chinese?"

Liu Zhen nodded and replied in proficient Chinese: "I am a third-generation immigrant. I often meet my compatriots in London."

At this time, Liang Xi felt that something was not right. Before he could understand, Liu Zhen pointed the way: "Turn right."
