Chapter 8 chapter eight

Police officer Mi Shanlou pushed open the door of the office painted with the sales engineer of Beifude, and stood aside by himself so that Ke Baisha could go in first. Don't think we're all impolite.He grunted. Hey, boilerplate.Baisha said, take a step forward and go there first. Peng Yinmeng looked up from the typewriter.Kebetha saw that she had wept.Peng Yinmeng turned her eyes and said: Please go over, he is waiting for you. Police Officer Mi looked at Bai Sha questioningly, and Bai Sha nodded her head with a small movement, and Officer Mi looked carefully at Ms. Peng in front of the typewriter.

Peng Yinmeng seemed to be able to feel the police officer's downcast eyes. Her back was straight and she didn't look up. Her fingers continued her skillful typing work, making the office into a very effective atmosphere. When the door of the inner office was opened, Bei Fude said: I heard someone coming in, and I think it was you.Good morning, good morning!please come in, please. They entered Mr. Bei's private office. Officer Mi sat down on a chair first, took out a cigar from his suit vest, and searched here and there for matches.Ke Baisha also sat down as if a chairman came to guide the manager's business.

Northford squirmed nervously a few times in the chair behind the office. Shanlou finally lit the cigar, shook out the match, and threw it into a small fireplace where some documents were burning.Shanlou looked up at Bei Fude.How about it?he asks. Northford said: "I think Mrs. Ko has told you everything. Shanlou grinned at Bei Fude through the blue smoke of the cigar: I don't think she told me everything.But she told me a lot more than you're going to tell me. I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying.Bei Fude said, pretending to be serious. What happened to the second letter?Shanlou asked.

Bei Fude said nervously: I was going to tell you after a while, I need some time to study it. You've had time to think about it now.Shanlou said. North Ford nodded. Why take the time to think about it? It's nothing, it's not what you think. Then there is no need to spend a lot of time thinking about it! North Ford cleared his throat.A woman named Xu Taolan, whom I am quite familiar with, came to see me.She was very happy to see me.I haven't seen her for a long time either.She came into town to see me and found my address in the phone book.She didn't know that I still had a wife and was not divorced.He said upside down.

What do you mean you still have a wife and haven't divorced yet? I was fine with her for a while and then I got married. She doesn't like it, does she? She herself was married within a week or two. But when you were married, she didn't like it, did she? I don't know, I didn't ask her. Shanlou took the cigar out of his mouth.His eyes looked at him disgustedly.He said: When I ask you a question, answer it directly, and don't go around in circles. Bei Fude said: You are right, Taolan doesn't like me playing this trick. Have you met her since you got married?

Didn't see her until she came to see me. What is she here for? She left her husband.She she wants to meet me. All right!So you also play with her. I also like that she came to see me. Kissed her again? Yes. more than one kiss? I might, but that's all.It's just a kiss. You know, I like that she came to see me, just like you suddenly meet a friend you haven't seen for a long time, you will like it. Want to meet outside? No. Did she leave you her address? have. Where? Nebula Apartments. did you go there No. To visit her? No. Does she want you to visit her? No special invitation, she just told me where she lived.

where is she sittingMi Shanlou asked. Bei Fude said incomprehensibly: I don't understand what you mean. I mean when she is in this room, where is she sitting? oh!That chair, the chair that Mrs. Ke is sitting on now. That's a chair at the far end of the office!Shanlou said: Baisha, look out and tell me which window you can see on the opposite side? I don't understand, Bei Fude said: What does this have to do with this case? Shanlou patiently explained: The man who wrote the second letter must be able to see everything in this office when Xu Taolan comes to visit you.I noticed that there was also an office building opposite.The alley was not wide, and in the early afternoon, the light was just enough for someone standing behind the opposite window to see everything in the office.

Bei Fude frowned and thought for a moment, and his sad face was revealed.God!That's a good idea, you think someone from the building across the lane is peeping here. Ke Baisha said: What are you talking about?All the answers are in your office. Shanlou frowned and hinted that she should not speak.Suddenly he changed the direction of his attack. What clues can be seen in the letter itself?Think about it, who would know that Taolan had been here on Monday? Nobody knows. how is your secretary She didn't know anything about Xu Taolan's affairs; she thought Taolan's visit was a business relationship.

So Tao Lan, when did you come here on Monday? I don't know, maybe three or four o'clock. Mi Shanlou pointed to the phone and called her here.He said. who? your secretary. Fude picked up the phone and said to the phone: Could you please come in for a while? When Peng Yinmeng came in, Shanlou said, "On Monday, a man named Xu Taolan came here. What time is it?" Hold on, I'll check the daily diary. Does she have an appointment? No. Well, you go to your diary. Yin Meng returned to her own desk, took her office diary, opened it, pointed with her finger and said: Mrs. Xu came in at 2:20 p.m. on Monday.She leaves at 3:15.

She didn't have an appointment? No. Do you find it strange? yes, there is. Do you know why she came here? I don't know, Mr. Bei said that there is no need to charge a fee. Shanlou leaned her head back on the chair, closed her eyes and asked: What does she look like? Blonde, good figure, well dressed, attractive, still young, but a bit deceitful, selfish, she's the one who reaches out for what she wants. Bei Fude said: Miss Peng, it's not fair for you to describe people like this.you I'm hosting here.Shanlou interrupted him, his head was still thrown back and his eyes were still closed.Then Mrs. Xu told you that she wants to see Mr. Bei, right?

Yes. Just ask her if she has made an appointment beforehand, hasn't she? Yes. How did she answer? She said that as long as I told Mr. Bei that she was outside, Mr. Bei would definitely meet her. I think Mr. Bei's business is not busy, Shanlou said: Those who asked if there is an appointment, etc., are just an affectation to deepen the impression of visitors, aren't they? Yes. So you walked in and told him a Mrs. Xu Taolan was outside, didn't you? She asked me to report that Xu Taolan wanted to see him.She specifically instructed Xu Taolan to be fine. After the notification, what did Mr. Bei say? He said he asked her to come in, that she was his friend. Are you emotional? I did not notice. What if the two of them met? I don't know, I'm not there. Did Mr. Bei come to pick you up at the door? He was about to come around the table when I opened the door for her.I heard him say her name as if he was happy to see her. And after that? I closed the door. Did you see him kiss her? she said, blushing.No. When will I see her again? When she came out at 3:15. Who else knew she was here? As far as I know no one else. When she came, was there no one else in the outer office except you? No. Did someone follow her when she left? I can't be sure of this.I don't think there will be any.While she was inside, no one came in. Baisha rushed out suddenly and said: What's the use of going around in circles.She is the one you want. Shanlou frowned, displeased Ke Baisha said: "Baisha, it's wrong for you to say that. What am I doing wrong? Shanlou passed the window and looked at the building across the alley.There's still a lot of evidence that my Opposite Lane theory has some validity, Betha. Ke Baisha turned to Peng Yinmeng, unzipped her purse, and took out the memo she had stolen from Beifude's private letter file and typed out from the purse.Who typed this note?She brought the note to Peng Yinmeng's eyes. What's the matter, I think I hit it.These are the ones I put on Mr. Bei's personal contact letter file Ke Baisha spread the letter and the memorandum on the table: Look carefully, girl, these are all typed on the same typewriter, right? I don't know.What do you want to do? Ke Baisha said cold-bloodedly: You naughty little girl, I just want to find out your naughty side.You fell in love with your boss, and you thought you could marry the boss if you got rid of the boss lady.You write an anonymous letter to Mrs. Bei.You know your boss and maids can't figure it out.You peeked through the crack of the door and found out about the relationship between the boss and Xu Taolan.Do you think that with such an informant, the proprietress and the two rivals in love will be wiped out at the same time.You wrote to Mrs. Bei while pretending to be a good person in the office.But I knew at a glance that you are a fake good person with a honeyed belly and a sword. Peng Yinmeng is crying now, and she said while crying: I don't know what you are talking about at all. Ke Baisha said confidently: Of course you understand what I mean.Let me prove it to you.These letters were typed by experienced typists.She can use all ten fingers, draw lightly and heavily, and type any document neatly spaced.But the letters were all typed with a portable typewriter.It was a Remington, an early type portable typewriter.I got a sample from you that was typed on the machine in your office.What else do you have to say now, do you want to tell us the truth? You really have two hands!Bei Fude looked down at the memo and said. Ke Baisha smiled at him confidently: It's beyond your expectations, isn't it?You'd never know there's a big one in your own office Not for that, Northford interrupted her, but because you were talking about the Remington hand model. so what?Baisha asked. That's my wife's typewriter. The door to the outer office opened.Miss Gu Jialu's unique blue eyes brought her own gust of wind into it.She said: "There was no one in the reception room, so I just came by myself.hope i didn't bother No one paid her any attention.Ke Baisha pointed at Peng Yinmeng with one finger.She said: Look at her and you will know that I am right.It may be a letter typed on your wife's typewriter, but she can't make mistakes in these letters.is her!she You talk nonsense!Peng Yinmeng yelled: Besides, the portable typewriter in my house is not a Remington, but a Corona! Gu Jialu, with her eyes wide open, walked along the edge of the room, stopped herself in front of the fireplace, turned her back to the fireplace, said nothing, and looked at these people strangely. Try denying that you love your boss.Bai Sha pursued and said: Try to deny that you think that as long as you drive his wife away, your wish can be fulfilled.Anyway, you typed the letter!must Wait a moment, Mr. Bei interjected: These letters cannot be typed by her.One day my wife's typewriter happened to be in this office, and she also typed the memo that time.My wife's typewriter was brought by me and I asked someone to maintain it. After it was maintained, Yinmeng tried to type it, and I took it back from then on. I remember it very clearly. She also typed these two letters together that day.Baisha strikes again. This is impossible, this happened before, and the fact that the two women were both Taolan happened later. Shanlou asked Bei Fude: Who else can use that typewriter? No, I don't think so, my wife's relatives maybe Shanlou's eyes narrowed, and he said: Of course there is the maid. Sally? Yeah, what do you think I'm talking about people? Beiford said: What's the matter, of course you mean Sally but why did Sally write to my wife and say that she herself was having an affair with me?It doesn't make sense.The idea is ridiculous. But Sally could have gotten the typewriter, wouldn't she?Shanlou asked persistently. There is nothing wrong with that.Yes. Peng Yinmeng sat down on a chair and held a handkerchief to her eyes. Whenever there was a gap in the conversation in the room, she used crying to fill in the gaps. Shanlou said to Baisha: I think you are right.But maybe not quite right.There are a lot of things that are wrong in this matter, the surname is Bei, you stand up for me, don't go around in circles, and put this chair in the exact same position when Xu Taolan came to see you that day, this is what she sat on that day location, is it?Okay, let me sit on it, and let me see from this angle, what window across the street can see me. Mi Shanlou moved his sitting posture back and forth, left and right, expanding his field of vision. Ms. Peng, put away your tears, take out your sketchbook, and write down these offices for me: Dr. Niu, Zhang Bailing, Department of Medicine and Surgery, and Dentistry.This is the dentist most likely, let's start with him; the dental chair is facing the window, from which I can look down the alley and see a patient in his chair.Find out their phone numbers for me first, Yinmeng, I tell you to put away your tears! Yin Meng may not have heard what he said at all.She was still sitting on the chair and crying. Officer Mi stood up from the chair, walked over, grabbed her by the shoulders, shook her and said: Put away your tears, cry when you go home, I am dealing with a murder case, get up and look up the phone number for me. Peng Yinmeng looked up at him, saw his serious expression, stood up suddenly, reached out to Mr. Bei's desk, picked up a phone book and began to look at the yellow part, and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief from time to time. Northford handed her a small pad and pencil.He patted her arm lightly.All right, all right, Miss Peng.He said: Don't take it to heart. She drew her arms back, quickly found the number she wanted, wrote it down on a legal pad, tore off the page with the number on it, and handed it to the officer. Officer Mi picked up the phone, dialed the number, and said: This is Officer Mi from the police station. I want to talk to Dr. Zhang Bailing in person.Yes, Police Headquarters, important matters, let him speak for himself. While waiting for his speech, he picked up a cigar that was dying on the edge of a desk, puffed a few times, re-ignited it, and then used an attack. Sexually upturned angle, biting on the corner of the mouth.Suddenly, he took it down and said to the phone: Hello, Dr. Zhang Bailing?Yes, it's Officer Mi from the General Bureau.Please take a look at your register and tell me who is sitting in your dental chair between 2:00 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. It's the male patient's name, isn't it?The surname is Ha.OK, I see.Who is below him? Slowly, a smile appeared on Officer Mi's face.Is it Mrs. or Miss?he asks. That's right, thank you, doctor.I'll keep in touch with you in the future. Yes, that's all I know for now. Mi Shanlou put down the phone and faced Ke Baisha, showing a lot of teeth. Dr. Zhang Bailing was the second patient in the dental chair. He said: From 2:15 to 2:45, it was Miss Leng Sally.Baisha!
