Chapter 83 Going to Texas,

"Hell, I never thought that the summer here in Big Apple would be hotter than Texas!"

This old white man is the lawyer Beers mentioned by Song Yi.

Song Yi took a pack of paper from the side and placed it in front of lawyer Beers, "Mr. Beers, wipe your sweat first!"

"Thanks!"

Sun Cheng stood up with a smile, and first used the remote control to lower the temperature in the office.

Then he came to him and reached out to say hello, "Hello, Lawyer Beers. You can call me Sun or Hunter."

"Hello!"

As the temperature inside the firm became lower and lower, the sweat on lawyer Beers' face gradually stopped.

The elderly white lawyer was very talkative and didn't even need Song Yi to take the initiative to bring the topic over, so he spoke by himself.

"Since it's recommended by Teacher Song, I won't talk much. I can leave this task of finding people to your detective office to take charge."

Bills took out a thin kraft paper bag from his bag and pushed it to Sun Cheng, "I can make the decision to give you up to 30,000 meters of RMB in terms of remuneration, and the advance payment is 10,000 meters of RMB. If I want more, I must communicate with my client."

The 30,000-meter-yuan search mission is already very high in this detective business.

However, Sun Cheng was not in a hurry to agree. He glanced at the kraft paper bag in front of him and then looked at Beals.

"Can I first look at the client information provided by your client before deciding whether to accept the commission?"

Beers nodded, "Please do it!"

Sun Cheng picked up the kraft paper bag and weighed it, it was very light.

He already had an ominous premonition in his heart. He quickly opened it and looked at it, and his eyelids couldn't help but jump.

Song Yi stood aside, curled his head and took a look, and his mouth suddenly opened.

"Just... just a few photos..."

Beals sighed and nodded helplessly.

"My client encountered a fire more than ten years ago, and many of her relatives died in that fire. But she herself survived because she happened to be home that day!"

"She had always thought she was the last person in her family over the years, but it was not until in recent years that she had investigated the cause of the fire more than ten years ago that she accidentally discovered that one of her little granddaughters was not dead in the fire, but that she had been missing since then!"

"She suffered from lung cancer two years ago and her health was getting worse. Seeing that she was not much time, when she asked me to draft a will on her behalf, she also asked me to help find her missing granddaughter for more than ten years!"

Having said this, lawyer Beers took out another tissue and wiped the water stains at the corners of his eyes.

Although Sun Cheng was not sure whether it was sweat stains or tears, he also realized that the relationship between Beers and the client was probably not just a entrusted relationship.

He did not rush to reply and once again picked up several photos that had just been exported from the kraft paper bag.

One of the photos is a family photo. It can be seen that this photo has been a bit old. Not only is the paper yellowed, but it also has some slightly deformed after soaking in water.

Sun Cheng took a closer look and found that this family photo looked like a group photo of several generations of ordinary Western American families. There were three rows of people standing, sitting or squatting on it.

Among them are old people, children, and a weird man wearing a strange mask.

His eyes stayed on the weird man wearing a strange mask for a moment, and he picked up the second photo. It was a dignified blonde white woman. She looked like she was in her fifties and had a serious and old-fashioned face, but she should have received a good education.

It is worth mentioning that she wore a silver necklace with an unknown pattern embedded in it on her neck.

The third photo shows a young woman hugging a little baby.

The young woman was not very beautiful, but she couldn't hide her happy smile when she was taking pictures.

It can be seen that she must be very happy when taking this photo.

Sun Cheng noticed that the young woman was wearing a necklace exactly the same as the blond old woman in the second photo.

"Maybe this is a family logo!"

He secretly wrote down the necklace in his heart, and a strange sense of déjà vu in his mind began to become stronger and stronger.

The baby in the third photo only showed half of his face, so he didn't see it very clearly.

However, combined with the fourth photo, Sun Cheng has confirmed that the cute little baby sleeping in the cradle who was taken alone in the fourth photo is the one who was held by a young woman in the third photo.

"If there are only such clues, this search mission will not be able to be found!"

After carefully reading the four photos, Sun Cheng sorted them out and put them in a kraft paper bag again.

He has fallen in love with his new job recently, so he did not directly refuse.

"I need more information, such as her name, her family information, her blood type, her health records..."

Lawyer Beers shrugged, "I only got so much from the client, and she should have more detailed information, but she mentioned that there is only one copy and she will not use a fax machine or something. So unless you are sure to take this task, I don't plan to drive thousands of kilometers! I have acrophobia and can't fly!"

Sun Cheng nodded and began to think about whether to take on this task.

When lawyer Bills introduced him just now, he felt a faint sense of déjà vu.

When watching four photos, the feeling of déjà vu becomes even stronger.

He had had this kind of experience several times before, and now he had guesses in his mind.

"No surprise, this should be the plot of a movie I watched in my previous life, but I can't confirm which one it is yet!"

After pondering for a while, Sun Cheng could not suppress the impulse to participate in an unknown movie.

"I've accepted this case. I need to meet Mr. Bills, your client, and ask her for more detailed information."

"But the reward of 30,000 meters is too low. Please give her a call and add the reward to 50,000 meters."

"The advance payment is still 10,000 meters. As long as the person is still alive, I promise to give her a reply as soon as a week!"

Since Sun Cheng had a strong sense of déjà vu on this commission, he naturally had the confidence to track down the target in a short time after obtaining more detailed information.

However, lawyer Beers obviously did not know the source of his confidence, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded and walked out of the office. After dialing a phone call outside, he walked in again after two or three minutes of brief communication.

"Mr. Detective!"

Lawyer Beers looked solemn, "My client asked me to tell you that if you can find her granddaughter within a week, she will not be stingy even if she is 100,000 meter."

"She agreed to meet you, but because of her physical condition, you can only go to Newt, Dallas, Texas in person!"

Texas!

This place name made Sun Cheng feel a little bit more striking. Several movies that he had watched in his previous life flashed in his mind. Although he was still unable to fully determine which one it was, he still walked to his desk, took out a commission contract, modified it slightly and filled it out, and handed it to Beers, who was a lawyer.

Beers checked carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and wrote down his name on the client.
Chapter completed!
