Shangjing Mintai Affairs Investigation Center.

By name alone, this place looks amazing.

But in fact, this is a so-called private detective company.

It's still illegal.

In 1993, the Ministry of Public Security issued a circular prohibiting any unit or individual from opening civil institutions of the nature of private detectives, such as civil affairs investigation bureaux and security investigation bureaux, expressly prohibiting operations such as the handling of civil, economic disputes, debt recovery and technical advice on security prevention, investigations involving personal privacy, etc.

In 2002, the Trademark Office of the General Administration of Industry and Commerce adjusted the scope of trademark classification registration to 45 for the original 42 categories of goods and services, including the provision of “security services" such as private bodyguards, detective companies and searches.

As a result, many detective companies even have formal ‘private detective' registered trademarks.

However…

Strange places appear.

The fact that the General Administration of Industry and Commerce allows the registration of trademarks does not mean that the ban on State ‘private detectives' has been lifted.

It is also because of this that private detectives remain an illegal industry.

The Ministry of Public Security expressly prohibits this mainly because the investigation of private detectives is likely to touch the privacy of others, in addition to the low credibility of evidence, materials, etc. provided by private detectives, and even the possibility of falsification.

While the State expressly prohibits it, there is a huge demand in the consumer market.

Thus, in recent years, a growing number of private detective companies have been named ‘consulting firms', 'service investigation centres’ and 'service investigation offices’.

These companies, which call themselves public service investigation agencies, operate in a very broad range of areas, including tracing, emotional integrity investigations, child custody, recovery of large debts, tracing investigations, credit investigations, intellectual property investigations, and fraudulent rights protection, economic intelligence investigations.

For private detectives to complete their business, it is obvious that only tracking, stalking, photography, etc. can be used to obtain the corresponding evidence.

However, such means of evidence invariably seriously infringe the right to privacy of the person under investigation and may even endanger the normal production and living order of other populations, causing innocent victims and are therefore prohibited by law.

Article 42 of the Law on Administrative Penalties for Public Security clearly stipulates that: Whoever spys on, photographs, eavesdrops on or disseminates the privacy of others shall be sentenced to detention for not more than five days or a fine of not more than 500 yuan; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to detention for not less than five days but not more than 10 days and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.

It is precisely because of the fear of attacks by the public prosecutor's office that many detective companies are uncomfortable with their own business, and the company's address and contact details are frequently changed, difficult to find and naturally appear very mysterious.

……

As Shanghai's premier private detective, Feng Mintai is not as low-key as the average practitioner.

He has professional dignity and is willing to speak for the private detective industry!

So when he became famous, Feng Mintai moved his company into a 5A class office building and vowed never to hide like a rat in a ditch all day.

Of course, his company's main business abroad is actually consulting, not private detectives.

On this day, Feng Mintai welcomed a strange group of customers.

A man who looks less than thirty years old, with a little girl of four or five in his arms and a little girl with a black kitten in her arms.

Feng Mintai originally thought it was some kind of custody dispute, so he didn't take care of it, so he sent someone to receive it.

But the receptionist went for less than half a minute, and then he even came crawling over and said that he was a big client and needed to receive him personally.

Feng Mintai has not personally received customers for many years.

After all, he is now a successful person with a certain social status.

In order for him to receive him personally, he must be a prominent figure in the legal profession or the head of the public prosecutor's office.

But now that the client has asked for it, it's okay for him to meet it.

……

When Feng Mintai walked into the reception room in his spare time, he sat behind this man with a powerful atmosphere.

The man's first words immediately frightened him to stand up.

“Ten million, help me find someone, if you can't find them... as long as you need to give me a useful clue, a million clues, what do you say? ”

10 million to find someone.

If you can't find it, as long as you can provide a clue, a clue is worth a million.

Police arrest warrant. What is this?

After so many years of practice, Feng Mintai has not really seen such a big customer in the trenches.

What kind of client is this? This is a god of fucking wealth!

How much does it cost him to raise an employee for a month?

Shangjing consumption is not low, Feng Mintai's base salary for basic employees is 4,000, and if there is a business, it is based on the unit price of the business.

Due to the special nature of the work, employees receive a subsistence allowance of $200 per day during the course of their business.

Even so, how much does an employee earn per month at full pay?

Ten million, Feng Mintai can come up with a person to strengthen the company, exclusively to serve the god of wealth in front of him.

Moreover, unlike other industries, they have frequent exchanges and do not have peer competition.

Similar to the business of finding people, he was entrusted, and colleagues from all over the country would divulge relevant leads to him on their own initiative, and he would then be divided into colleagues.

Lai Lai, who owes money to run away and hide in a small county, isn't it hard to find?

But don't they catch one too?

It's too easy to find someone like that!

Therefore, Feng Mintai's current cultivation, also excited almost jumped.

They usually charge a 20% deposit, but because the contract amount is too large, Feng Mintai only offered a symbolic deposit of 100,000 yuan, and then patted his chest and promised that he would definitely find this person!

Master Cai seemed satisfied with Feng Mintai's professional qualities. After listening to him brag about himself, he handed over the deposit decisively and then held the child ready to leave.

See, Feng Mintai immediately called two dog legs.

The three men escorted the Father of Wealth downstairs, and then nodded their heads and bowed to the Father of Wealth to walk slowly.

When the god of wealth left, one of the dog's legs asked slightly confused: “Boss, who is this? I thought you said we had to be classy right now. But why do I think our behavior was so discounted? ”

Feng Mintai jumped and slapped him in the back of the head and shouted, “What else do you know besides chopping people? That's the god of wealth, my grandfather, your grandfather! You know what? Learn from me. Come on, let's go up to the meeting and get all those dry eaters back. Let's get to work! ”

After explaining the task to Feng Mintai, Chen Xi headed straight to Tiananmen with the little guy and was ready to have fun in Shanghai.

And what he doesn't know is...

While looking for help from private investigators on his side.

Ning Zhongguo and Xu Wei also acted on the other side of the China Sea.

Two networking networks, simultaneously from two super front-line cities in Huaxia, must find that person for him!
