Chapter 426 Unexpected Commission
Chapter 426: Unexpected Entrustment
"Xun, what did you just say about that young lady not being from a wealthy family?"
After having lunch with the college students, we decided to camp with them. After the doctor took out the camping tents and cooking utensils from the car, the children set off along a stream.
"That." I answered Conan's question during the break. "Although it looks clean and the clothes are from famous brands, they are fake."
"Huh?" Conan was surprised.
"The clothes are knockoffs, and the hems of the white jeans are worn out. The shoes are also worn out. She doesn't look like a wealthy lady at all."
"Could it be that she is naturally very frugal?"
"You'll know if you compare her with Yuanzi." I said as I sat next to the tent and hammered on a wooden stake. "There's a kind of aura of a rich family that can't be faked. Even though Qinghua has tried very hard to act like a young lady, that kind of aura is engraved in her bones and is innate."
"But, there's no reason." Conan scratched his head. "Why do you have to make it so hard on yourself? If that's the case, then why..."
"Friendship, friends, family background." I randomly gave a few examples. "Inferiority complex, loneliness. These could all be excuses, right?"
"Hmm... makes sense." Conan thought.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, let's check it out." After that, I turned on my phone, searched for Qinghua's university, linked to the dark web, and quickly found the college's files. From college enrollment, back to high school, elementary school. A serious girl who walked step by step from a small country village.
"Look." I handed the phone to Conan.
"No, your dark web is too convenient, isn't it?" Conan scratched his head in confusion.
"The dark web is established by various countries, so it is normal to be able to connect to the national database through special channels." I took back my phone and continued to look through it, and took a look at the information of the other three people. "So, this young lady is definitely a fake, I guess she... huh?"
Before I could finish my words, I was attracted by the information in front of me.
"What's wrong?" Conan turned around and asked me.
"Nothing." I put away my phone and didn't respond to Conan. Seeing that I looked fine, Conan shrugged and continued to work.
"I'm going to pee." I whistled innocently, stood up and walked out. I walked straight into the woods, and after confirming that there was no one around, I took out my phone again.
Just when I opened the dark web, I found that the school where these college students were studying had a commission. It was an assassination commission, which aroused my interest.
The reason for my interest is that the target of this assassination mission is exactly one of the four college students we met this time, the woman with short brown hair, Shirafuji Yasumi.
I clicked on the task bar and started searching.
Client: Visible after receiving the task.
Mission target: Bai Teng Taimei (with information)
Task Reward: Contact the client to discuss after receiving the task
Mission location: No requirement
Mission time: within three days after accepting the mission
Time left for the mission bounty: 17 minutes and 33 seconds
"Oh?" Looking at the remaining time, I was slightly surprised. Logically speaking, when the task reward time is less than the task time, the client will usually cancel it automatically, and then spend some money to start a new task again. It is rare to have more than ten minutes left for a three-day task like this.
"It's quite interesting." The corners of my mouth slightly raised.
This task was posted by a newcomer, and it was possible that he had strayed into the dark web, but he happened to have this need, so he tried to post the task here. If this lamb without any cover is rich, it will become the focus of the killers.
However, this task has been idle here for so long that no one has even taken it up when it was about to be taken off the shelves. There is only one reason for this.
The price was not agreed upon.
"How about... take one and give it a try?" I took the task out of curiosity. Anyway, if the price is not agreed during the task negotiation, I can cancel it at any time. It will not affect the task rate. Besides, I am using a small account now. The big account Liufeng still has a number of 99%.
It's a pity that my full mission completion was lost because of the promise made to Noah's Ark. But this thing is no longer important to me, so let it be.
After accepting the task, I took out my spare cell phone and called the client.
The phone rang three or four times, and then the person on the other end picked up the call.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer the phone right now. Can you call me back in an hour?" The other end of the line was a gentle female voice, and it was obvious that the voice was not disguised. It was undoubtedly a novice.
"There are only fifteen minutes left for the commission." I lowered my voice, revealing an old and hoarse voice. "If you don't want me to complete the commission, hang up."
"No! I'm very sorry! I need your help. Please wait a moment, I'll change the environment." The female voice sounded a little flustered, and she ran out in a hurry.
"Why does this voice sound familiar?" I couldn't help but feel a little confused when I heard the voice from the other side. I felt like I had heard this voice somewhere before.
About three minutes later, a voice was heard again from the other end of the line.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Commission requirements, commission fee." The hoarse voice was emotionless and even a little cold. Using such a voice to talk would make the newcomer feel fearful from the beginning. This was beneficial to the negotiation.
"Yes..." The voice on the other end already contained fear and respect, but it still sounded familiar.
"To be honest, I thought the commission would be cancelled this time and I didn't have any hope. I didn't expect that there would be a call at the last stage." "You have one minute to narrate." I was too lazy to listen to the nonsense and went straight to the final bottom line.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" The woman's voice sounded a little flustered. "Please, please tell me, what is considered a request for a mission?"
Isn't this just waiting to be slaughtered?
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, why would I expose my ignorance?
Time, place, manner of death, and some special needs. Each difference will affect the final commission amount.
"Well... then I don't have any special needs. Can you make it cheaper?"
. . . . . .
No wonder no one wanted to take this commission. It turned out that the client was not only a novice, but also had no money. For some experienced people, such a low-level and unprofitable task was something no one was willing to take.
"Twenty million." I lowered my voice and said, "For killing an ordinary person, the price is less than two hundred thousand dollars, which is a reasonable price."
"Twenty, twenty million?" the woman on the other side exclaimed. "But, but my budget is only five million..."
Da. Beep, beep. . .
I hung up the phone directly. The client said so. It's not that he wanted to lower the price, but she really didn't have money. After all, she was a new client and didn't know too many rules of this industry. And it's not cost-effective to kill a person for 5 million yen. So I lost interest in this mission.
But just when I was about to put the backup phone number back into the necklace, the client called me back.
This backup phone number is not encrypted. After all, the source of the phone calls is not clean, and I usually put it in my necklace. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it. So it can be called back when I take it out.
Looking at the caller ID, my eyebrows slightly raised. Unlike the client's phone number which was encrypted by the dark web, this kind of call back was not encrypted by the dark web. This also caused a complete mobile phone number to appear in front of me.
"Isn't this newbie too damn new?" I laughed and picked up the phone again.
"I'll give you a chance to reconsider." I picked up the phone and spoke first.
"I... I'm sorry. This is really all I can give." The female voice on the other end was filled with tension and fear.
"Are you wasting my time?" My tone has become unhappy. From the perspective of risk, if this client is stinging the law enforcement, then every extra second I am on the phone, there is an extra second of risk of being tracked.
But on the other hand, I can also track the client's location through the number and connection.
However, this client is a novice.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" The client apologized sincerely. "I know my budget is very small. But sir, can you listen to me for a few words? I don't plan to hire anyone to do this assassination commission anymore. I want to... I want to do it myself!"
"..."
Listening to the words on the other side, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this because you have no money, so you plan to do it yourself?
"so?"
"So, I want to tell you about my method and ask for your guidance. Of course, I will also transfer the five million to you!"
"...Not interested." It was exactly what I thought. The client sounded very young, probably a college student. If both of them were college students, how much hatred would they have to kill each other? Even at the cost of a lot of money.
"Is that so?" The woman on the other side of the phone said with disappointment. "Okay, thank you for your help."
"You are just classmates, right?" I said. "We are just classmates, why do you have to kill her?"
"This...this..." The client's voice sounded a little awkward, but he finally said it.
"I... I'm actually an ordinary college student from the countryside. I always feel inferior to my classmates in the city, so I set myself up as a rich lady, just to make friends who can recognize me."
"To be honest, I had a really hard time. In order to make friends, I worked all over the world and even borrowed money. But after Taimei knew my true situation, she still said that!"
"..Go on." I was stunned for a moment and let her continue.
"Once again, when I returned to our club to prepare for an event, I heard Taimei say that she had been secretly following me and found out that I lived in a shabby apartment. Not only did she expose my true identity in front of my friends, she also told everyone that I was her cash cow and not a friend. In the future, she will continue to pretend that she doesn't know how to act, and even my boyfriend..." At this point, the client's voice began to tremble.
"So, I decided not to forgive her anymore. This time, I must..."
"Please transfer the money over here." I interrupted the client before she finished her words.
"Huh?" The client was suddenly stunned.
"You, what did you say?"
"Transfer the money over so I can hear your plan." I held up my phone in one hand and the information I had tracked of the phone's location in the other. My voice was calm.
"I'm suddenly interested. Tell me about your plan." Looking at the information recorded on the screen, I took on this task just because of the name of the client.
Sunny heaven.
