Chapter 31: Scouting
Liang Xi quickly took out a tissue and handed it over. Facing Bobby who was about to explode, Liang Xi tried to divert Bobby's anger and said, "Your thinking is completely wrong in the eyes of the detective."
Bobby wiped the water and looked at Liang Xi with suspicion: "What is the detective's idea?"
Liang Xi analyzed: "Suppose there really are ghosts in the world."
Bobby confirmed, “Yes.”
Liang Xi: "Okay, there are ghosts! Taking Lily's house as an example, how many ghosts do you think there are and what is the density of ghosts?"
Bobby was stunned: "This is the first time I heard that ghosts have density."
Liang Xi said: "Even if ten people died in Lily's house and there are still twenty people buried underground, the density of ghosts is only thirty ghosts per house. Is that right?"
Poppy nodded, so to speak.
Liang Xi asked again: "Where did most people die?"
Bobby: "On the bed?"
Liang Xi replied: "In hospitals, if an average of one patient dies per month, that's 12 per year, and 120 per ten years. The density of ghosts is much higher than that of residential houses. You should not look for ghosts in haunted houses or houses of murder, but in hospitals. Now I ask you, with my skills, is one thousand pounds a day too much?"
Bobby: "Not much, but I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of."
Liang Xi: "Your feeling is based on the premise that there are no ghosts in this world. Not only is the density of ghosts in the hospital high, but they are also very fresh and have all kinds of dead ghosts."
Bobby thought for a long time: "Two hundred, for the whole night, from 11pm to 7am the next morning."
Liang Xi: “Five hundred.”
Poppy said, "No, I have a lot of expenses. Hair maintenance costs thousands of pounds each time, and I like girls."
Liang Xi said: "You don't have to spend money to chase girls."
Bobby said, "You are wrong. Many girls like me because of my money."
Liang Xi shook his head: "You are wrong. Many girls like you because you are a rich second generation. With this status, you can even make them pay for you , because being good to you is a risky investment, a low-risk, high-return investment. Why should you spend money on them? As a rich second generation, you can eat and drink for free. You are a real rich man if you spend money on them. Give the money to the detective, and the detective will lead you to find the truth. Money should be spent wisely."
Bobby looked at Liang Xi warily: "Are you a detective who also moonlights as a con man?"
How can I put it? I've been a translator, a magician, and a ghost catcher, but I haven't opened my own detective business yet. Are you accusing me of being a liar? Liang Xi said, "I have analyzed the situation and pointed out a clear way for you. As for whether you want to hire me or not, that's your right."
Bobby: "Two hundred."
Liang Xi: "You don't care about a few hundred people."
Bobby replied: "I always feel cheated if I give too much."
Liang Xi said: "Do you know about pension insurance?"
Bobby asked, "What do you mean?"
Liang Xi said: "You pay pension insurance until you retire, then you don't have to pay anymore, and you can start to charge money. It's the same for us. At the beginning, you paid me to hire me, but after we got to know each other and became friends, I felt embarrassed to take your money."
Poppy: "I'm pretty sure I smell a liar."
Liang Xi was helpless: "Okay, two hundred for the night, but I'll go if I'm happy, and I won't go if I'm not happy."
Bobby nodded. "See you tonight at 11 o'clock in the parking lot behind Maria Hospital."
Liang Xi asked: "Why Maria? There are a lot of security guards over there."
Bobby replied, "I am familiar with Maria Hospital."
Liang Xi said: "Not tonight. I stayed up all night last night. I need to have a good rest tonight."
Bobby asked, "When then?"
Liang Xi replied: "Wait until I am happy. If I can receive Lily's reward, I will be happy immediately."
Bobby said unhappily, "I can do it without you."
Liang Xi laughed: "Good luck to you."
Bobby looked at Liang Xi unconvinced, then stood up and left.
…
A fool is a fool. You are familiar with hospitals, but can you be familiar with morgues? Although Liang Xi firmly believes that there are no ghosts in the world, he also provides services . If the Pope loses his golden cross, can't the Hindu police help catch the thief?
Now Bobby thinks he is only worth two hundred, and he must improve his own value, because Liang Xi found that Bobby is a long-term meal ticket, and he must increase his first salary. As for why Bobby is obsessed with seeing ghosts, Liang Xi doesn't want to understand. Maybe Bobby really saw a ghost, maybe Bobby is just bored, maybe Bobby has mental problems. It doesn't matter, as long as the pound is fine.
Assuming that there are ghosts in the world, Liang Xi's inference is correct. The density of ghosts in the hospital is the highest, and it is the most likely place to find ghosts. In order to increase his salary and remuneration, Liang Xi decided to go to the hospital during the day to check out the hospital's structure and layout. The most important places are : wards, morgues, and operating rooms.
This is detective thinking. Bobby has been looking for ghosts for a long time. He is still alone and has no helpers, which means he has not found an assistant that he recognizes. I appeared, Bobby recognized me, and proposed to hire me. When Bobby is bound to continue to fail, he will think of himself. Don't believe the saying of 50,000 pounds of pocket money. A person with 50,000 pounds of pocket money every month can easily get 5 million pounds with a casual remark. Therefore, it is not a problem of money, but a problem that Bobby has not fully realized his own value.
But can the detective agency still operate? While the sideline business is booming, the detective agency's performance is still zero.
…
Maria Hospital can be said to be one of the best hospitals in Europe. They have the best medical staff, the most advanced equipment, and the best talents. There is basically no queue for seeing a doctor, the service is good, efficient, and professional. The only drawback is that the fee is expensive.
Visiting a hospital in the UK is free, commonly known as a GP check-up. Patients go to a public or private hospital for further diagnosis and treatment based on the recommendation of a GP doctor. Usually, people with higher incomes will purchase specific commercial medical insurance. Patients with commercial medical insurance can reimburse 80% to 95% of the expenses in private hospitals, and all drugs are covered by insurance.
Liang Xi had breakfast and went back to the detective agency to make an appointment with a GP. GP is a general practitioner, which is called a family doctor in some countries. Liang Xi made an appointment with a general practitioner at Maria Hospital. Some large private hospitals also have general practitioner services. Non-British people, such as tourists, international students, and other people who are not covered by universal free medical care, can go directly to private hospitals for treatment when they are sick. The disadvantage is that most patients believe that the doctors at Maria Hospital are of high quality, and many people make appointments for treatment.
Wouldn't this delay the hospital's profitability? No, take the commercial medical insurance purchased by John from Bob Insurance Company as an example. Bob Insurance Company has more than 30 private hospitals and nearly 300 nursing homes and retirement homes. If you buy insurance, you will become a member and have priority in visiting and receiving treatment at Bob's hospitals. In simple terms, you can jump the queue.
The general practitioners at Maria Hospital are divided into two groups, one is free clinics for non-members, and the other is free clinics only for members. Liang Xi did not purchase commercial medical insurance, so he could only make an appointment for free clinics for non-members. Fortunately, the online appointment showed that Liang Xi's appointment time was 3:30 this afternoon.
