Chapter 9 Chapter nine

I was lucky enough to be able to rent a bachelor apartment. On the one hand, it was luck, and on the other hand, I used a lot of connections. The only drawback is that the apartment rented by Baisha is too close, so close that it is only three streets away.The apartment itself was decent, with a guard attendant, its own switchboard, a car park, and a lavishly furnished foyer.But the rent was set very black heart. I parked the company car and walked into the foyer.I said: three four one. The clerk behind the counter looked at me carefully and said: Are you new here? I nodded: I just moved in today.

Oh, yes, Mr. Lai, is it? Yes. Someone left a message for you. He handed me the key along with a note.The note said: Please contact Ke Baisha immediately. In addition, he said: There is a young woman who calls you every ten to fifteen minutes.She refused to leave her name or phone number, saying only that she would call again. a young woman?I asked. The clerk agreed: At least it sounds young and pretty. I pocketed Kebaisha's note and went back to my apartment. The phone rang as I walked in.I closed the room and went into the bathroom to wash my hands and face.The phone stopped ringing.I picked up the phone and said to the switchboard lady: I ​​won't answer any calls tonight.Please don't turn it up again.

The switchboard lady said: Sorry, sir.I told the other party that you are not answering the phone.But she was very excited and said that she had something very important to see you. female?I asked. The switchboard lady said it was a woman. I changed my original intention and said: OK, if she calls again, I will pick it up. When I moved in, I hadn't had time to sort it out.Now I put the duffle bag on the bed and take everything out.One of the advantages of being in the Navy is that it reduces one's necessities to a minimum. I yawned and pulled the bed back, taking out my pajamas at the same time.

The phone rang. I pick up the phone. Kebetha's voice said: My God!Are you having an old problem again?Why are you so arrogant, you don't even bother to call the boss, do you? Not a boss, but a partner.I said. Well, as a partner.Now that you're back, why don't you call? I'm busy. busy!Busy your head!You haven't really started working yet!You've messed everything up and this time I believe you're stuck.Come here quickly. Where is it?I asked. Come to my apartment. I said: see you tomorrow morning. Baisha said: Come see me now, or you'll wish you weren't born at all.Mi Shanlou is here with me now.The reason you are not in jail now is because Officer Mi is my friend.You can do anything stupid, why do you have to deceive the police.I don't know why I have to protect you.I should give you a taste of prison, maybe it will do you a little good.

Let me speak to Officer Mi.I said. Baisha said: You'd better come here now. Ask him to answer the phone. I heard Baisha say: He wants to talk to you. After a while, I heard Shanlou's voice click on the phone. I said: Officer Mi, please listen, I don't like going around in circles with Baisha over and over again, what happened. Mi Shanlou said: You should know what happened.Don't pretend to be merciful and innocent.If you do this again, I'll cut off your head and use it as a chamber pot.I now protect Baisha's license at my own great peril.If it is not done well, it will still not be reliable.

what are you talking about. You know what I'm talking about, where to hide a murder weapon, that's what I'm talking about. What murder weapon? That small hatchet, my boy! Where do you think I hid it secretly? Stop making me laugh.Officer Mi said. I'm telling the truth.I said. Stop pretending.Mi Shanlou told me: You have really fallen into the water now.The only remaining hope is to clear myself up.Otherwise you have to come with me.You two can't even hope to keep your licenses.How soon can you be here? Five minutes is right.I finished and hung up the phone. Baisha's apartment is on the fifth floor.Stepping out of the elevator, my knees were weak.I suddenly realized that I was totally powerless.From the elevator entrance to Baisha's door seemed to be an endless mile, I rang her doorbell.

It was Baisha who opened the door. The smell of old Scotch and champagne irritated my nostrils.Looking back from Baisha's side, he saw police officer Mi Shanlou sitting in plain clothes, with his feet resting on the ottoman, and holding a glass in his hand.He frowned and looked into the cup, his face looking as worried as he could be. Come in, Bai Sha said: Don't stand there in a daze. I go in. Bai Sha wore a baggy home dress, and she said: God, you have done a lot of dangerous things before, but you always thought about not dragging me into the water.This time you idiot I think it's all about your thighs.

What thighs.Mi Shanlou asked. Baisha said: As long as this guy sees a beautiful woman with big legs, everything is over.All sanity, future, and career are gone. Shanlou said in a tragic tone: This makes everything make sense. It doesn't make sense at all.I said: After so many experiences, you still can't learn to be good.If you listen to her, you will have to suffer. Shanlou wanted to laugh, so he twisted the muscles on his face, and it turned into a wry smile. Bai Sha said: I didn't reason anymore, don't admit your mistake. Shanlou said: I don't want to deal with you, Tang Nuo.But you drill yourself into it.We have considered, and may have to, suspend your license.I might keep Betha out of it, but there's really nothing I can do about you.

Wait a little longer and listen to what he has to say first.Baisha said to Shanlou: Tang Nuo is too light, and I can't stand the pressure you put on him. Shanlou said sullenly: I didn't put pressure on him, I just told him the truth. . You don't have to tell him.Baisha said a little angrily: If you live another thousand years, his brain will still be smarter than yours. Shanlou wanted to say something at first: change his mind and continue tasting the wine in his hand. Baisha suddenly realized that I didn't speak, she looked at me, and asked with concern: "Is there nothing wrong with you?"How is your face as white as a sheet.Good man, what's going on?It's not because of what Shanlou said, is it?

I shake my head. Baisha said: You should take it easy as possible.You often say that to me.Have you had dinner yet? Her question came out of the blue.I recalled what I did today, and added the time factor into it, and I said: No, when I think about it carefully, I haven't eaten yet. Baisha said: You are like this. You came back from a long distance and were half dead, your blood was full of tropical parasites, your resistance was low, and you were told not to be nervous and take more rest, but you wanted to get involved in the murder case. Come and go without dinner. Baisha looked at the two of us angrily, and said: Look, I think I have to cook something for you.

Downstairs there was a small shop still open.I said.I'll hear what the legal representative has to say before I go get something to eat myself. That damn place!Bai Sha snorted and said.While moving his fat body to the kitchen, the one hundred and sixty-five pounds of meat shook violently in the baggy clothes. Shanlou said: Where did you get that small hand ax, Tang Nuo? Shut up!Bai Sha said suddenly, turned her head back from her shoulders, and looked at Officer Mi with glaring eyes: "I don't allow you to scare the child until he is full."She said to me again: Pour yourself a glass of wine and come to the kitchen to accompany me. I got a glass of wine and went to the kitchen.Mi Shanlou also followed closely. Baisha cracked the eggs into a large bowl, put the bacon into the hot oil pan, and put a pot of coffee on the stove. She moved slowly, but methodically, with no futile effort, and was very efficient. Mi Shanlou chose a corner of the kitchen where Baisha had placed the breakfast table and sat down, and put the wine on the small table.Taking a fresh cigar out of his pocket, he said: Where did you get that hatchet? What a hand axe. Baisha said: They found a small hatchet in the company car, good man.The handle of the ax was sawn off, only eight and a half inches long, and the sawing place was not neat, like a dog biting.First saw half of this side, then turn it over and saw it from the other side. Shanlou kept looking at my face.I turned around and saw his eyes, shook my head and said: I don't know at all, and I haven't heard of it, Officer Mi. Tell him how you found it, Shanlou.Bai Sha said: I believe this little bastard is telling the truth. Shanlou said: The police are not as stupid as the common people say, you know. I know. Let's visit Su Youqi.He said: "He was heartbroken to death, he knew about the murder before we went to him how do you know?I asked. The way he moves.Shanlou said: He only knew it when he was performing.You can tell at a glance that he has rehearsed many times.He smiled when he received us and asked us what we could do for us.We asked him a few questions and he was too understanding and innocent.After we told him, he pretended to be surprised and frightened.His flaw is one that everyone commits to just a little over the top.Of course, this cannot be used as evidence in court, but it is equivalent to telling us the actual situation. I nod. However, Shanlou went on to say: We don't expose him, we let him pretend.Tell him something unimportant.Get out of there and we eavesdrop on his phone.Two more men were sent to guard him to see who would visit him. I nodded again. You showed up over there in your company car.You walk in.My folks think there should be a regular survey of your car, just to check the owner and all that.They don't know you, and they don't know the car.Don't forget, you have been away from this circle for two full years. I nod again. So, Shanlou continued dully: They opened your car, and there is a small hand ax with a sawed-off handle under the back seat.They picked it up and saw that there was blood on the axe.It's a pity they turned the ax around too many times.But I can't blame them, they are just third-rate errands. The smell of fried bacon and coffee mingled in the air.Baisha carefully removed the oil layer in the frying pan, turned the bacon over and fried it again, and pressed the switch of the toaster.It turned out that at some point she had put two slices of toast in the toaster.She asked: How did the murder weapon end up in your car, Tang Nuo? Has it been proven that this is the murder weapon?I asked Officer Mi. He nodded. I said: I swear to you I don't know. What's the use of swearing, it has to be a little more useful.Shanlou said. That little bastard was telling the truth.I know him best.Baisha spoke. how do you know?Good at answering questions. For, Betha said quickly, if he was going to tell a lie, he would tell it as if it were true, and he had already planned it out.The way he keeps saying he doesn't know today is either an idiot or really doesn't know, and he's not an idiot. Mi Shanlou sighed, and looked at me again. I thought about it and said: let's start from the beginning again.I use a company car.I went to the county office to check the vital statistics.After I came out, I went to the old place of Lingji.I was kicked out by them, so I went back to the office.Then I went out to interview a witness and left the car there Speak clearly, speak clearly.Shanlou said: Which witness? A witness who had nothing to do with the murder. You are hopeless, Tang Nuo. I tell you, this witness lives in Holder Street. What's the number? I said: OK, don't be dissatisfied. He shook his head slowly and violently and said: The ax was indeed the weapon that killed Su Bailey.You have to understand, Tang Nuo.I'm now standing between you and the District Attorney. I said: Kong Feilu, 906 South Holder Street. What does he have to do with this case? It's another case. when did you leave there I have no idea. how long have you been there I rubbed my chin and said: I might not know, Officer Mi.But it's enough for others to throw the hatchet into the rear seat from the rear window that never closes. The surname is Kong, isn't it?He said. I nod. Shanlou suddenly stood up from the small stool beside the table, and his knee touched the edge of the breakfast table, one side of the table, almost knocking over the drink. Baisha raised her eyes from the stove and said: Mi Shanlou, you damned, you want to overturn the whiskey, I will peel your skin off.This is specially for entertaining you, I am reluctant to drink it myself. He ignored her and walked towards the phone by himself.I hear him flipping through the phone book, followed by dialing and whispered conversation. Now you are in India.Baisha said to me. I didn't answer anything, and the answer was useless. Baisha tore two paper towels, spread them on the cooking table, and put the fried bacon strips on them to drip oil.Added some cream to the eggs and beat them with a whisk.Added seasoning, poured into a saucepan and started to mash. The hard liquor I drank started to work on me.I'm not as weak as I was when I first came here. You poor little bastard.Bai Sha said sympathetically. I'm okay. Continued Cup. I don't want any more, thanks. Food is all you really need.Baisha said: Food and rest. Shanlou hung up the phone, dialed another number, and started talking again.Then he hung up the phone and came back to the table.On the way, he added more wine to his glass.He watched me carefully with suspicious eyes, wanted to say something, stopped again, sat down on another stool at the table, and touched the table again. Bai Sha gave him a hard look at his clumsy movements, but didn't speak. After a while, Baisha pushed me a bowl of food along the table.Hot scrambled eggs, toast with a lot of butter, and golden fried bacon.A cup of hot coffee with a dollop of white cheese floating on it.Baisha said: I remember you don't add sugar, but you want cheese. I picked up the coffee first, but I haven't drunk it yet, and the warmth has filled my whole body.The stomach is also eagerly awaiting the coffee and the texture of the food.Baisha's food doesn't taste bad.This meal is the only meal I have had an appetite and wanted to eat in the past month. Baisha watched me eating, and Shanlou was thinking deeply into her wine glass. Baisha said: The three of us are together, but it doesn't feel like a party. No one answered. Is the phone connected?Baisha asked police officer Mi Shanlou. Officer Mi nodded. How about it?Baisha asked. Officer Mi shook his head. Well, if you don't talk, don't talk.Baisha complained to him. Baisha sat down, Officer Mi stretched out his hand and patted the back of her hand: I know, you are a good partner. Bai Sha said angrily: "I have something on my mind, and it won't hurt to say it." Shanlou said: Kong Feilu was bombarded by fatigue and collapsed.Too many people have talked to him about too many things.Besides, he was already asleep.He is very upset. Then there is no way for him to prove it today? Shanlou shook his head. I took another sip of coffee and said to Baisha: Don't be like a child.He contacted a patrol car and is now awaiting a report. Bai Sha looked towards Mi Shanlou. Shanlou looked at me and then at Baisha.This bastard is very smart. I told you the little bastard was smart. Let's talk about your story again.The police then told me.You parked there and you didn't tell me how long.Did you see anyone else there? I may but have not seen anyone who might have put a murder weapon in my car. You only tell me facts, names, places.Others are inferred by me. Not many people. How many? one. I want a name. No name, not yet. Bad for you. It's not as bad as you say.I told him. As serious as I said. I keep eating my stuff. Baisha stared at me, and was so angry that she wanted to bite my head off: If you don’t tell him, I will tell them. Shut up.I told her. Shanlou looked at Baisha expectantly. I'm going to say hello.Baisha said. You just don't know.I told her. I will not know!You use public funds to buy three packs of cigarettes.And every time Mi Shanlou asks you simple questions, I know everything with the dreamy and elegant look on your face.Don't fucking think I don't know.I can't blame you for one thing, you've been out at sea for too long, with South Pacific romantic visions of women.After not seeing a woman for three months, the old sow's face became fragrant. Mi Shanlou looked at Bai Sha in admiration.Oh, Betha, I don't see how romantic you are.He said, reaching out to grab her hand to pat her. Bai Sha broke free from his big palm and said: Next time you want to tease me, I will give you two slaps. Mi Shanlou smiled and said: I just like this kind of woman who is smelly and hard. Baisha just gritted her teeth and glared at him. I said: Women like you to say she is gentle and beautiful.Mi Shan Building. He looked at me in surprise. Baisha said to me: Shut your beak.Solve your own problems first. I pushed the empty coffee cup in front of her and said: Let's have another cup of coffee first. Betha topped up my glass. The phone rang. Mi Shanlou didn't wait for Baisha to act, stood up and walked towards the living room.The table shook, shaking my coffee out of my cup and onto my plate. Betha called after him, like a cow running into a china shop.A cop that big and flat-footed never learns well.Don't move, good man, I'll clean it up. She took the cup and tray to the sink, emptied the tray, refilled the cup, and brought the coffee back.Bai Sha said: When the gorilla sits down again, hold the table tightly. This time, he may even pull up the root.What's the matter, good man, Baisha's bacon is not good? I nodded and said: I have eaten it, it is delicious. Then eat the rest. I shook my head. why do not you eat. I don't know, it's been like this lately.I was so hungry that when I really ate, my stomach turned over after a few bites.I couldn't eat another bite.Tonight is the most I have eaten in days, and I am really hungry. poor child.Bai Sha said sympathetically, and sat there waiting for Mi Shanlou. I was drinking coffee, and Baisha's greedy little eyes looked at me with concern like a mother. After a while, police officer Mi Shanlou came back into the kitchen.He had been thinking so much that he forgot to bring back his glass, and of course no whiskey. Baisha lifted my coffee tray with both hands, and even lifted the coffee cup off the table. When he sat down, she put it on the table again and said: How about it? Shanlou said: That's fine, two people drive the patrol car to get the man surnamed Kong up and tell him to talk.He said Tang Nuo went to him because of a car accident.Tang Nuo, this trick of yours made me miscalculate. how come.I asked. When you say it has nothing to do with this case, I dare to bet a month's salary on you, you are lying.But the guy said you were investigating a car accident that happened a long time ago.Then a woman came running claiming to be a newspaper reporter, wanting to inquire about the same car accident.The guy called her newspaper and found out she was a liar so kicked her out. When Bai Sha looked at me, there was only a little more fear in her eyes. Mi Shanlou continued: "According to my guess, Tang Nuo is not stupid, he is not careful.He found this guy named Kong, and he went to visit him and talk to him.The woman obviously followed Tang Nuo.Tang Nuo wasn't that stupid, he knew the woman was after him.He waited for the woman to go in, and when he came out again, he seized the opportunity to have a showdown on the spot.The man surnamed Kong said that he once stood in front of the window to watch the woman run out, in order to see her car number.He saw her get into the car, and saw Tang Nuo get out of his car, walk over, and salute the woman.Tang Nuo was obviously blaming her.Finally climbed into her car and left with her.Mr. Kong said that Tang Nuo had carefully walked from the front of her car to the right to get into the car, and kept one hand on the car all the time to prevent the woman from suddenly driving the car away.Mr. Kong thinks Tang Nuo is a very smart person. He was.Baisha said. So Kong Feilu paid special attention to him.The prosecutor said: He admitted that he had gone out to see Tang Nuo's car number to investigate Tang Nuo.Tang Nuo didn't lie to him.Tell him your real name.The purpose of coming to see him didn't lie.This is beneficial to Tang Nuo. I drank my coffee and said nothing. The car was parked there for a long time.Mr. Kong told us that he looked out of the window from time to time, and the car was still there.Suddenly when he looked again, the car was gone.He didn't see if Tang Nuo drove away by himself.Now, if Donald himself could tell us I opened my purse and took out a taxi fare receipt that I had kept for reimbursement.I gave it to Mi Shanlou.I said: This taxi once took me to get the car. Where did you get in the car?Shanlou asked. Near Seventh Street.I don't care to say: I can't say the exact location. Officer Mi Shanlou sighed a long time: I think everything is clear.When your car was parked in front of the Kong family, someone placed the murder weapon in your car.Who the hell would do this? I said: This is the job of the police.I'm going home to bed. Officer Mi said: Your friend surnamed Kong appreciates you very much because you didn't lie to him.Besides, you have cooperated quite well with the police this time, which is also good for your future work.Mr. Kong wants us to tell you that the price of the car accident compromise is 17,875 yuan, and he believes that the opposing lawyer and the plaintiff are paid according to the compensation ratio.Lawyers get about one-third or half. I said: Mr. Kong is not bad. Shanlou said: It is strange that you are investigating another case.I'm always a little hard to believe.
