Chapter 69 060. Letters
"STONE BY THE RIVER"

Translated in Chinese, it means "the stone by the river". If the signature is this, Li Ming really can't figure out who sent him the courier, and it was an international courier.

Opening the courier, there is a letter inside, and a palm-sized card with a black appearance and gold edge, which is about the same size as a bank card and ID card.

On the upper right corner of the front of the black card is written "No.5", and in the middle there is a gold border inlaid with the English letters "SUPERBIA". For some reason, seeing this, Li Ming always feels a little terrified.

The thumb of the index finger of his right hand held the black card. While feeling its thickness, Li Ming vaguely felt that the back of the card was a bit sticky. When he carefully placed the card on the table and looked at his fingers, a tinge of red appeared in his eyes.

Li Ming squinted his eyes, rubbed the mucus on his fingertips, and turned his gaze to the letter in his hand again.

The handwriting on the letter is very neat and beautiful, it looks like a woman's handwriting, what makes Li Ming a little strange is that the letter is written in Chinese, and even the letter format is a format he is familiar with——

"Dear Mr. Li Mingli:"

"Hello, on behalf of my team member Naotsu Watanabe, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you for offending you due to his personal greed, and express my apologies again."

"It was my order to spy on the chief physician of Kitazawa Hospital, Akiyo Kuroki. I also asked him not to involve innocent people, but he didn't obey me. Now I have dealt with Naotsu Watanabe and given him the punishment he deserves. "

"Now let me explain the purpose of sending the letter. In view of your performance in the white dream, I sincerely invite you to become a member of us. The card that symbolizes your identity has been attached to the letter. When you see "TDHunt" in your daily life ", you can use this card to get help."

"Of course, I am not in a hurry to ask you to agree to my request. This card can also be used as a gift of my infinite apology to you. While you are getting help through this card, I hope you will consider my request."

"Once again, I express my apologies to you, and I hope you can forgive us."

The signed signature is still the "STONE BY THE RIVER" just seen on the logistics document bag.

Carefully identify the appearance of the logistics document bag, trying to find the address of the source of the letter, but apart from this string of English that can be used as a clue, there is no other text that can provide information.

Gently placing the letter on the table, Li Ming's tense body relaxed, leaning on the back of the chair he was sitting on.

The key clue that can be obtained from the general content of the letter is that the sender has a great relationship with the previous self-proclaimed "hunter" Naoji Watanabe, and it seems to be the relationship between the organization and the team members.

In other words, the sender should be the leader of the hunting organization, and the last time he was dragged into a white dream was just a by-product of framing Heimu.

Li Ming opened his sore eyes and picked up the letter written in Chinese again. He always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't tell.

So this letter is actually an invitation from the hunter organization?Want him to become a member of Hunters?
Li Ming frowned and sighed softly. Although inducing other people to trigger NG would allow him to get clues about his own wishes, such things that harm others and benefit himself are not like his style.

Unless he had a very strong will, Li Mingshi would not care about the lives of other patients, nor would he take the initiative to hunt and kill other patients.

Re-stacking the letters and the black cards, Li Ming took out the pack of cigarettes from the side of the desk drawer with not many cigarettes left, took out one with his right hand, and lit it under the dim light of the setting sun through the curtains.

Misty smoke filled the air, Li Ming took a deep puff of the cigarette, swallowed it in his mouth, and then spit it out, which made his mental state clearer.

Looking back at the letter and the "SUPERBIA" on the black card, Li Ming pursed his lips, intending to put it away and talk about it later.

After all, for him now, this invitation has no way to shake his mentality, and now he has no experience of getting help, so there is no way to judge the pros and cons of the matter.

Sure enough, after following the instructions obtained by Baimeng in the laboratory, I will consider these things.

And just when he was about to put away the letter and the card, the unknown light red slime on the back of the card was painted on a part of the letter. In this part of the conspicuous red, Li Ming recognized a sentence in English——

"I'M WATCHING YOU."

It translates to "I'm looking at you".

Li Ming was stunned, and instinctively drove him to look around, trying to find the "look" mentioned in the letter. At the same time, he secretly doubted in his heart, whether all his current performances can be seen by one person?That's too scary.

Outside the door, there was a knock on the door, mixed with the sound of a silver bell hitting the wooden door.

Li Ming frowned, and quickly put all the items he put into the drawer of the desk, and took out a few pieces of white paper and pencils and put them on the desk.

After finishing these tasks, Li Ming stood up, twisted the cigarette into the ashtray and opened the window before walking to the door.

After all, many clients do not like the smell of cigarettes in the office, which affects business to some extent.

Customers who want to entrust come to the door of the office, take a closer look, and you will find a notice posted by Li Ming on the door, which explains the "hidden rules" when knocking on the door——

If he knocked on the door and rang the silver bell beside the door, Li Ming would know the purpose of the visitor; on the other hand, if he just knocked on the door, then it was definitely not an entrustment, maybe it was a friend visiting or something.

So that's why Li Ming straightened out the messy room as soon as he heard this complicated voice.

It can also be known from the side level that the client outside the door is not particularly anxious about the entrustment. He has the leisure to read the notice at the door. Or like knocking on a door.

While turning open the wooden door, Li Ming was still thinking about how he didn't turn over the business sign when he first came in, and how the client outside the door found him.

Opening the wooden door, the first thing you see is a familiar face, no, it should be said that it is a face with only a few faces——

Doctor Ishikawaoka.

At this moment, he was not wearing formal clothes, but casual clothes on weekdays, and his overall temperament changed a lot.

But what made Li Ming a little strange was that there was a strange scratch on the side of Dr. Ishikawaoka's face in front of him, it didn't look like it was scratched by a cat or a dog, but if I had to say it, it was more like a human fingernail.

"Ah? It's you, Mr. Li Ming. I didn't expect you to open the office closest to Beize Hospital."

Seeing the appearance of the young man in front of him, Ishikawaoka was also surprised, and said in surprise, while looking around, as if looking for someone following him.

"Can you let me in? I want to entrust you to do something." After saying this, Shi Chuan couldn't help but knocked away the young man in front of him, and walked into the cold office room, "Hey? Why don't you pull Open the curtains, isn’t it dark?”

Li Ming's expression was a bit cold, but he didn't say much. After looking around to see if there was any suspicious guy on the road outside the door, he closed the wooden door, and the room was once again plunged into darkness.

Turning around, Ishikawaoka was already tinkering with the coffee machine at the reception desk by the door, as if he regarded this place as his own home.

When he thought that this coffee machine was his own, and it was also a gift from his best friend, being manipulated by such a stranger, Li Ming felt an unknown fire in his heart.

He remembered the reminder he saw on his phone before, which clearly said "tomorrow's first commission", so Li Ming has the right to refuse Ishikawaoka's unreasonable request.

But then again, Ishikawa Oka's occupation is a doctor at Kitazawa Hospital, so he should not be as high as Kuroki Akira.

But their current relationship is basically that as long as they go to see a doctor, they will see each other. If he refuses his request or entrustment in this regard, then it may be troublesome to see a doctor at Beize Hospital in the future.

So out of reasonable considerations for future development, Li Ming held back the anger in his heart, went back to his desk, wrote something on the white paper, and felt the breeze blowing and the curtains being raised.

"What's the matter, Doctor Ishikawa?"

Handing the white paper to Shi Chuan who was drinking coffee, Li Ming showed a cold expression. In his eyes at this moment, the two of them are the ordinary relationship between the client and the client, without any other elements mixed in.

"Ha, of course I came to your office to entrust you as a private detective! Don't you understand this?" Ishikawa said, being scalded by the hot coffee.

"And what's your attitude? Is this the attitude of your private detectives towards clients? If it weren't for the commission of our clients, private detectives like you at the bottom of society might not be able to survive!"

Li Ming squinted his eyes, this guy's behavior is completely different from when he met in the elevator before, is it true that only in the elevator room where he works will he treat patients with a false attitude?

"Then, may I ask Mr. Ishikawa, what do you want to entrust me with your visit to my detective agency this time?"

"Is such that."

Although in the room, Ishikawa still showed a look of fear of someone following him, or like a thief just finished stealing and wanted to look around for fear that the police would catch him.

This can't help but make Li Ming a little curious, what kind of things this guy has gone through to have such an image and performance.

When Shi Chuangang talked about his commission, the unreasonable appearance just now disappeared, he said softly.

"My wife's name is Sato Baili. I suspect that she has done some abnormal things behind my back recently. So I want to entrust you to investigate her. You don't have to worry about the commission fee. I will definitely pay you the full amount, but I hope You keep it a secret while you investigate."

Well, sure enough, according to the stereotype of the Japanese, that’s what private detectives do. For such small things as catching rape and looking for kittens and puppies, as soon as it happens, they will call private detectives.

But speaking of it, with regard to Ishikawaoka's unreasonable performance just now, it is not surprising that his wife betrayed him. It is hated by others, and it is normal for these things to happen.

However, out of professionalism, Li Ming still didn't say these words, he just put his fist to his mouth and coughed softly a few times, then continued to write on the white paper.

"Mr. Ishikawa, please don't get excited, don't get excited, can I ask you a few questions? There are some things that I have to understand before I can accept your commission."

"Okay, you can ask." Ishikawa took a big sip of coffee, swallowed hard, and said, "But you must guarantee that only the two of us know about this matter, and even if the matter is resolved, we cannot tell anyone, especially Kuroki. That rascal!"

"Of course, don't worry, the client's privacy is very important to me." Li Ming smiled and nodded, "First of all, the first question, I would like to ask you about your wife, where did you come from?" When did you find out that your wife had betrayed you?"

"I don't even need to notice it?! It's obviously my intuition! This woman has been talking about working overtime for the past few days. She even forgot our wedding anniversary. It's obvious that someone is out there!" Ishikawa said angrily.

"Then do you have any evidence, I mean, clues, it would be best if you could provide them, it would be very helpful to my work."

When Li Ming wrote this sentence, he almost tried his best to hold back his laughter, forcing himself to write these words calmly.

I don't know why, seeing this disgusting guy's family and marriage have some problems, a feeling called "schadenfreude" arises spontaneously.

Although Li Ming is an absolute warrior of pure love, he feels a sense of excitement about the breakdown of the marriage of someone like Ishikawaoka. Shouldn't this be regarded as accepting NTR?
"Of course, of course I have evidence."

"Oh?" Li Ming stood up in awe, sitting at the desk, with his upper body upright.

"Just after I got off work from Beizawa Hospital, my colleague, yes, a colleague! Of course the relationship is not very good, and it's not that I believe his words, I just doubt it!"

Ishikawaoka started talking to himself incoherently, his body trembling slightly, his voice fluctuating from time to time.

"My colleague said that he saw my wife's name in the custom store in Chuanqiao Town, so I questioned her immediately after I got home from work, but she refused to admit it and scratched me with her fingernails! You say this Does that count as desperation?"

"I see that you look like you are in a state of desperation." Li Ming pursed his lips, did not say this sentence, and did not write this sentence on the white paper, but continued to pretend to be serious and nodded.

"So I beat that woman up and ran out of the house." Ishikawa paused and slapped the desk hard, "So! Can you accept this commission? I must make this woman pay the price .”

"Don't get excited, Mr. Ishikawa, I heard your description here is a bit cloudy, so in order for the investigation to proceed smoothly, the commission fee is set at [-] yen, do you think it's okay?"

Li Ming continued to write on the white paper, then turned the white paper upside down and showed it to Shi Chuan on the opposite side.

"If you agree, please sign your name on this white paper, and please pay a deposit of [-] yen."

　I want to laugh when I see Ishikawaoka, I don't know why
