Chapter 299: Weng Quan Mountain Villa
For the profession of private detectives, the public perception is shrouded in mystery, with the detectives being perceived as enormously capable.
In fact, being a private detective isn’t something just anyone can do, nor is it a job you can simply slide into after serving as a soldier or as a special forces reconnaissance operative.
Working as a private detective requires a high level of technical skill. Thus, Memphis Blackwell, who retired from the intelligence section of a major military region, enlisted at sixteen and joined the intelligence section as a junior serviceman at seventeen. Because he was a serviceman with access to a variety of tasks, he was able to encounter all sorts of high-tech equipment.
In this way, he spent eight years in the intelligence section. When he retired at twenty-five, he was assigned a position in the Public Security Bureau.
However, he didn’t accept that job. As someone who cherished freedom, he lay low for a year before venturing into private investigation. Already knowledgeable about various devices and intelligence collection, he enhanced his expertise through online self-study and later, in partnership with his girlfriend, acquired some compact equipment to formally step into the private detective industry.
He and his girlfriend were akin to a pair of lovebirds, ancient times had husband and wife bandit duos, whereas they were a detective couple.
His detective agency didn’t have an office, although it had a name, there was no actual physical location for it because the ’office’ was the workspace in his home.
In contrast to Memphis Blackwell and his girlfriend, Isaac Quintana was truly a lone wolf, operating without equipment or high-tech gadgets, relying entirely on personal experience for investigation and tracking.
He was not a military man, nor had he been involved in intelligence. However, his ancestors had been in the military. After reading Sherlock Holmes detective novels as a child, he became infatuated with the mysterious profession of detective. As he grew up, his room filled with every conceivable detective book.
He was truly self-taught, took pride in his detective work, and was a person with an obsession for his life’s calling, never once giving up on it.
