Chapter 2, Private Detective

Suddenly, a series of cold laughs erupted from my mouth, completely uncontrollable and inexplicable I hurriedly covered my mouth with my hand, but it was too late All eyes were fixed on me

The seating was casual, and I noticed Fang Xiaodong snugly sitting next to Xiao Ling, so I chose a seat by the window. Turning my head to look outside, I saw Ah Huang obediently lying under the big tree. Upon seeing me, he wagged his tail in greeting, warming my heart, and I smiled at him.

There was no unnecessary talk; as soon as we met, we started to engage in combat. It turned out that the pretty boy was skilled in grappling and fighting techniques. After a few rounds, my joints were nearly twisted apart.

"What are you arguing about? Do you still want to fight?" Xiao Ling's face turned pale with anger as she turned to leave, "I will go tell Dad"

"Classmate Yuan Li, do you have any different opinions?" Xiao Tianlong said calmly.

The pretty boy fled in disgrace, I have won, you little rascal

Hmph, not even understanding the most superficial technique of transmitting sound in the martial world, sigh...

Now I will discuss the qualities that a private investigator should possess. In summary, a good private investigator should have the skills of a special agent and the mindset of a detective. They must have rich social experience and strong abilities in observation, prediction, reasoning, analysis, judgment, handling situations, and adapting to various environments. Furthermore, they should also be a professional psychologist. Currently, private investigators do not have public authority, and their investigations and evidence collection must be legal, thus requiring an intelligence that surpasses that of ordinary individuals.

The students fell into deep contemplation

Ahuang sat up calmly and smiled broadly

The girl's name is Xiao Ling, and the one giving the lecture is her father, Xiao Tianlong, who is also the only teacher at the detective training class. The handsome guy, Fang Xiaodong, is also a student in the class. It is said that his father was originally a colleague of Xiao Tianlong at the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Division. In addition, there are more than ten young students from the urban area of Xianyang.

I hurriedly waved my hand, feeling extremely embarrassed

I was already struggling to breathe, my neck swelling. At that moment, a sudden low murmur of "woo woo" came from deep within my throat, my lips curled to the sides, revealing two rows of teeth, and a "hissing" roar escaped my mouth. The pale-faced man slowly released his trembling hand, looking at me in terror, seemingly unable to believe it, and he stepped back, trembling with each step.

Sigh, Ah Huang, you didn't see how embarrassed I was in class just now, what on earth is going on? I stroked its fluffy neck fur and sighed

Hmph, I have watched you grow up since childhood, who else could it be but Ah Huang

I have always found you, this ugly creature, displeasing to the eye, and have long wanted to teach you a lesson. If you have the guts, meet me tonight at 8 o'clock in the small woods, and do not bring a dog.

The formal classes have commenced

"I, I... it wasn't me just now..." I said, my face flushed, stammering, wishing I could find a hole in the ground to bury myself in

Ah Huang opened his eyes warily

I stared blankly, my hair standing on end, as a voice as faint as a mosquito buzzed in my ear: "Xiao Li, today you have turned eighteen and are now an adult; you are about to embark on a new life."

"Yuan Li, don't you think it's excessive to treat my father this way?" Xiao Ling pouted as she stood behind me, next to her was that pretty boy.

What did you say? Pretty boy! I was already feeling frustrated and had no outlet for my anger, and I suddenly became furious

I do not believe it, Ah Huang, your mouth hasn't moved, how could it possibly be you speaking

A young man with a delicate appearance locked me in a chokehold, gripping my neck tightly. I could only hear him panting as he said, "Country bumpkin, I warn you not to have any designs on Xiao Ling. She is mine, do you understand?"

I suddenly had a moment of clarity, I lost my train of thought, quickly turned around and stood up, tugging at the wrinkled hem of my suit, and stammered: "A private detective is... is Sherlock Holmes, right, Sherlock Holmes."

"Who on earth are you... what kind of dog?" I almost shouted

Old man? I am greatly perplexed

The place was silent as a grave

As night fell, I arrived at the small grove promptly at 8 o'clock, where the young man with a fair complexion was already waiting.

"Country bumpkin!" This time, the pretty boy openly shouted.

Yuan Li, please respond ... ...

Fang Xiaodong's response is very correct. The history of private detectives in the West spans several hundred years, exemplified by the famous American Pinkerton Detective Agency, which has influenced generations of Americans. Their company emblem features a wide-open eye and the phrase: "We never sleep." In Western society, the number of private detectives has reached millions. In our country, however, the profession is still in its nascent stage, with private detectives struggling to survive and develop within the margins and gaps of the law, indeed, it is quite difficult. Nevertheless, I urge you all to believe me, as long as there is a societal demand, we will achieve development.

"A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin, unrefined and uncultured. What do you want?" The young man took a half step back and unexpectedly assumed a stance of a grappling technique.

"Hehe, it is indeed I, the old man." The voice laughed.

The students' gazes were filled with astonishment, Fang Xiaodong's expression was one of gloating, Xiao Ling's eyes reflected pity, while Xiao Tianlong's gaze was one of confusion

"Who is speaking to me? I don't even know my own birthday, who are you?" I was taken aback and hurriedly looked around.

Students, today we officially begin class. First, I would like to ask everyone a question: what is a private detective? Who would like to answer?

Hmph, I, an old man, am already over 1300 years old. Am I not to be called an old man, but rather an old dog?

After class, I rushed to the big tree as if fleeing from a disaster, where Ah Huang was dozing off.

Teacher, I will answer. A private detective, under the permission of the relevant national laws and regulations, conducts civil consultations, investigations, evidence collection, and other paid services for the parties involved through legal means. Private detectives must not interfere with the normal activities of public security organs in handling cases. Fang Xiaodong spoke with great confidence and eloquence, occasionally casting a scornful glance at me with a mocking expression.

I returned triumphantly, full of ambition. ... Huh, wait a minute, it seems I just ...

"If you need anything, you can also come find me after class," Xiao Tianlong said to me with a friendly expression

The young man with a fair complexion swiftly followed behind Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling smiled while casting a sympathetic glance my way. When our eyes met, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart

"A word is a promise." I face the challenge with composure

With a kick, I slammed the door open, and there was Ah Huang, sweetly snoring on my bed. I shook him awake and angrily questioned, "Damn it, why am I becoming more and more like you?"

I was stunned, staring fixedly at Ah Huang, my mouth mumbling: "You ... ... "

"Corpse dog." Ah Huang said coldly

The room erupted in laughter. I could tell that the loudest laughter came from Fang Xiaodong

Woof! I actually barked loudly at him.

The dog can actually smile? This is too absurd. I rubbed my eyes, and indeed, Ah Huang was smiling just like a human.
