Chapter 30 Ghost Argument
Why did Liang Xi irritate Bobby? Isn't rich Bobby a resource? Liang Xi has objectively examined Bobby. Bobby calls himself a psychic, which translates to a rich second-generation who does nothing but look for fun everywhere. Such people can only be helped by money. Once they are helped by money, they will ask Liang Xi to at least give up his self-esteem. They will not like to have a poor person as their boss or on an equal footing with them. They will show the superiority of their lives in front of Liang Xi and use various material means to make Liang Xi admit that they are the boss.
For Liang Xi, money plays a limited role in investigating the truth of John's death. Liang Xi only seeks money for normal expenses. Therefore, Bobby is not worth much for Liang Xi to deliberately make friends with. On the contrary, it is possible that Bobby will resent Liang Xi because he saved him. John taught Liang Xi the principle of gratitude for kindness and hatred for hatred.
So Liang Xi accepted the 150 pounds and made it clear that the two owed each other nothing. In short, Bobby was not worth making friends with .
There are some minor reasons. For example, Bobby is very beautiful, rich and a little smart, so she must be the protagonist of all social circles. Liang Xi has no interest in being a supporting role. Maybe they will meet again in the future, so we'll talk about it later.
But Liang Xi didn't expect the future to come so soon.
…
After watching the helicopter leave and condemning the rich for destroying the earth, Liang Xi got on the Beetle and drove back to the detective agency. Liang Xi parked the car on the side of the road, went into the restaurant and ordered a sandwich and a cup of tea, and then Bobby arrived.
Bobby entered the restaurant and soon saw Liang Xi. He walked over quickly and pulled a chair to sit down. Liang Xi was still stunned : helicopter or teleport?
Bobby ignored him and said proudly, "You are wrong. You have no evidence to prove that the nasal saline spray was replaced by someone. The surveillance cameras have all been removed and sold to someone at a second-hand price. Someone must have cleaned up all traces of the crime. As long as someone does not admit that he broke into Lily's house, the police cannot arrest him and the court cannot convict him. So you are wrong."
Liang Xi bent down and looked up at the window, looking for the helicopter in vain: "How did you get here?"
Bobby: "Helicopter."
Liang Xi: "Jump down?"
Bobby was speechless: "Maria Hospital has a helipad. I arrived at Maria Hospital and took a car here." Maria Hospital is only a twelve-minute drive from Berning Street.
After Liang Xi calculated the speed, he suddenly realized: "The helicopter is moving in a straight line."
Idiot, your helicopter is circling. But that's not the point, Bobby said, "At least I caught Ali, and you got nothing." After realizing this, Bobby excitedly ran to take revenge.
Liang Xi said: "I am a detective, not a policeman. I don't need to accuse someone. I just need to tell my employer the truth."
Bobby asked, "How can you prove that what you said is the truth without evidence?"
Liang Xi asked back: "You haven't done a paternity test, how prove that you are your father's biological child?"
Bobby was stunned and frantic: "This is not the same thing. I believe I am her biological child. How do you convince Lily that I am her biological child... No, no, how do you convince Lily to accept the truth you told me?"
Liang Xi said indifferently: "I said, I am a detective, why should I convince Lily to accept the truth I told you?"
Poppy: "But you might have framed Lily's friends."
Liang Xi said: "I don't know what 3 plus 3 equals, but I have ruled out the possibility that 3 plus 3 equals other things, so 3 plus 3 can only equal 6. Just like your parents are on a deserted island with no one else, the child they conceived during this period must be your father's biological child. Do you understand?"
Bobby asked back, "What if you're wrong?"
Liang Xi said: "If you don't trust me, you won't ask me to investigate the case."
Bobby: "No, I said you could make a mistake. What if you are wrong?"
Liang Xi said helplessly: "Okay, I found something that proves someone hacked into Lily's camera. Does that mean that someone is the intruder?"
Bobby nodded: "Okay, but..."
Liang Xi interrupted: "But the judge would not think so. It only means that someone hacked into the camera, not that someone hacked into Lily's home. The judge found someone not guilty. Is that person innocent?"
Bobby frowned and thought: "But you can convince me."
Liang Xi said: "I can convince you, but I can't convince the judge. Doesn't this indirectly mean that you are easier to deceive?"
Bobby continued to think: "..."
Liang Xi said, "Guilty or not guilty is decided by the judge and the jury, and it has little to do with the evidence. I am paid as a detective, but you ask me to do the work of the police, lawyers, and judges? Do I have to build a prison?"
Bobby thought it made some sense, but there must be something wrong. After a long time, Bobby said, "Lily is your employer. You have to convince Lily that you believe it."
Liang Xi said: "Based on our experiments and analysis yesterday, do you think Lily will believe me?"
Bobby considered it for a moment and said, "Probably."
Liang Xi: "Anything else?"
Bobby pointed at Liang Xi and said, "I'll hire you to help me check haunted houses. For every haunted house you rule out, I'll give you two hundred pounds."
Liang Xi asked: "How many rooms are there in total?"
Bobby: "I know of 50 locations so far."
Liang Xi said: "I have confirmed that there are no ghosts in 50 locations. Please pay."
Bobby: "How can I trust you?"
Liang Xi said: "If you can prove that one of these places is haunted, I will compensate you 50,000 pounds."
Bobby: "Keep your word. I'm afraid you can't afford the compensation."
Liang Xi said: "My detective agency is upstairs."
Bobby: “Wait.”
Liang Xi: "You have to pay first. I just eliminated 50 locations. The reward is 10,000 pounds."
Bobby was furious and was about to slam the table, then he remembered something and said, "If I had evidence that proves there is a ghost, I could buy at least tens of millions of pounds."
Liang Xi replied: "Trust me, I can add three more zeros."
Bobby: "You're not at a disadvantage, right?"
Liang Xi applauded: "You finally got it."
Bobby slapped Liang Xi's hand away and said, "Liang Xi, I tell you, there are really ghosts in this world. I have seen them with my own eyes. But people nowadays are full of lies. I have found many haunted houses and none of them have anything to do with ghosts."
Liang Xi replied: "I believe it."
Bobby was stunned: "Why do you believe me?"
Liang Xi: "Hello Jian! If others don't believe you, I will have an opinion. If others believe you, I will also have an opinion."
Bobby: "No, normally you shouldn't believe it."
Liang Xi didn't answer immediately. He took a bite of the sandwich and chewed it slowly, as if he was making a difficult decision. After swallowing, Liang Xi said, "I'm telling you, I've seen ghosts, too. I know there are really ghosts in this world."
Bobby didn't believe it: "That's impossible."
Liang Xi clenched his fist and flicked out his middle finger: "Get lost." You said you saw a ghost, please believe me, but you don't believe I saw a ghost. Are you sick?
Bobby didn't leave. After a while, he said, "You accompany me to explore the haunted house. I believe that with your ability, you can efficiently solve the haunting problem and save me time. Two hundred pounds per night."
Liang Xi: "One thousand, double it on weekends."
Bobby was dissatisfied: "Hey, don't treat me like a rich guy, okay? The helicopter and bodyguards are all paid for by my father. I'm just a rich second-generation. I only have 50,000 pounds of pocket money every month."
Liang Xi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water. Fuck you jungler!
