Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Time slipped idly on the wall clock in Kebaisha's office.Police Officer Mi sent Ke Baisha a taciturn tall man who read newspapers, manicured his nails with a paper cutter, smoked silently, and refused to socialize and talk.He has no interest in what happened in this office. Throughout the afternoon, Baisha used many excuses to get him to speak, but each time she was interrupted by polite, simple sentences. At first, Baisha used the method to claim that she had the right to notify her lawyer. I think you are an obstacle to liberty.Baisha said: I have the right to talk to my lawyer on the phone.

Isn't the phone here? You don't object? The police officer said you have to do business, and we will do business. What's the meaning? We will take you back to the General Administration and detain you as an accomplice afterwards.At that time, you can hire as many lawyers as you want. But, you can't keep me in the office all the time. Of course not. I have the right to leave whenever I want.You can't keep me. Yes. So, why am I not allowed to leave? No! OK, then I'll show you. Yes, he said: But Officer Mi had made clear instructions that as long as you step out of the office, I will arrest you and send you to the headquarters.

Bai Sha said angrily: Why? Officer Mi just wanted to protect you, and the officer said: Nothing else.He is afraid that if you are arrested now, your name will be reported, and your career as a private detective will be over.The officer is doing you a favour. How long are you going to keep me here? Let's see what Officer Mi has to say. When will Officer Mi say that? After finishing what he is doing now. Twice, Betha said to go to the bathroom.The police officer silently agreed, followed her to the door of the women's bathroom in the corridor, and waited at the door. When she came out, he followed her to the office.

Betha found some office work.Wrote two personal letters, trying to pretend not to be frightened. At six o'clock the police officer called the diner nearest her and asked for coffee and sandwiches to be brought up. Baisha finished the sandwich and drank the lukewarm coffee.Can this also fill the stomach?she says. The two did not argue over this matter, because the police officer said: I also feel like I haven't eaten. At seven o'clock, the phone rang. I came to pick it up, and the police officer said: Hello, yes, the police officer is OK, I understand, huh, how long?OK, bye.

He put the phone on. Betha tried to hide her fear from her eyes.She pretended to hope it was all over and looked at the officer. Not yet resolved.The guard said: That guy refuses to admit it.The officer asked me to stay here for another hour.If the matter is not resolved, we can only take you to the General Bureau to detain you.Feel sorry.We gave you every chance. give me a chance!Baisha yelled teasingly. I say so. I also heard clearly. You heard me clearly, but you didn't understand me. The stalemate lasted for half an hour.Then the officer gradually relaxed.He said: On Saturday afternoon, there should be half a day to rest.You insist that we are messing with you, but I am also being messed with by others.Speaking of which, you are messing with me.

I didn't ask you to stay here.You can go your way.Baisha said. He smiled and said: That guy surnamed Bei seems to have two brushes. Baisha said nothing. That last anonymous letter was indeed equivalent to slapping Officer Mi across the face.I'm sure you're relieved too. Ke Baisha picked up a pencil and began to scribble meaningless figures on the legal pad, lest the other party see the longing in her heart from her eyes.She said casually: You are talking about the third letter? uh-huh.The letter that led Peng Yinmeng into this muddy pond. Baisha said: This little venerable young thing.She turned into a nonchalant voice again and said: I just glanced at that letter before Officer Mi snatched it away.

It's okay to drag Peng Yinmeng into the water and make her dizzy.said the officer. She is suing me for one hundred thousand yuan.This little respectable young lady. The officer threw his head back.What is there about her asshole that deserves your respect again and again? I see. Bai Sha said: According to my opinion, the last letter was vague.There's nothing in it that you could call concrete evidence. Check in at a hotel together, the officer said.I can't see anything more specific than this, Hi, it's getting cold in here, and I'm shaking a bit. On Saturday afternoon, the heating in the building was not on.

Hey!Wish there was something to drink. Baisha drew a triangle on the legal pad.I have a bottle of scotch in my wardrobe. It is said that drinking is not allowed while on duty.He said: I have this shortcoming. I can not touch that stuff for a month or two, or I can drink it after one or two sips and then I don’t want to drink it anymore.However, sometimes, as soon as I start drinking, I just drink and drink without a bottom.In the end, I couldn't control myself from drinking too much.It is because of this that I failed to upgrade several times.If it weren't for drinking and missing one or two official duties, I would have been promoted early.

Baisha's eyes never left the tip of her pencil.I only take a sip of that stuff when I'm really tired.Sometimes when it's too cold, use it to warm up.I finally feel that a sip is better than being frozen.In case of a cold, it's not worth it. I think so too.Ma'am, if you happen to have a bottle here, you should take it out.You don't look like a mean person.I believe that after drinking your wine, you will not talk too much. Bai Sha took out the wine and took two more wine glasses.The officer drank his portion in one gulp and looked back at the bottle.Bai Sha hurriedly poured him another glass, this one was like the last one, and he drank it immediately.

You mean enough.He praised Baisha.Look at the bottle again.good wine. Yes, the best whiskey.Baisha agreed. Ma'am, you saved my life.I almost caught a cold. Maybe you have a real cold.You're welcome, do it yourself.I didn't buy this bottle of wine either.A client brought in to celebrate the completion of a case. The police officer looked at the bottle, and he said: No, I never drink alone.I haven't had such a big addiction yet. Am I drinking too? You're still sipping that first glass of wine. Bai Sha dried up the wine and poured out two more glasses of wine. The guard who had been drinking became talkative and humane.His name was Jake, and he was convinced that Officer Mi treated Baisha well and was giving her every chance not to get hurt.He said that Bai Sha was in a bad situation, and Officer Mi was protecting her, hoping not to drag her in.She once helped Officer Mi a lot in the case of the blind man.Police officers are very nostalgic.However, Baisha obviously got involved too deeply in this case.It all depends on whether Bei Fude is willing to plead guilty.If Bei Fude hadn't brought Baisha in, Officer Mi wouldn't have made any troubles.

Bai Sha wanted to know whether Bei Fude had confessed. I think he will.Jake said: "The officer couldn't tell me much on the phone.But he said he used all kinds of pressure.He said he hoped to set you free by midnight. It's midnight, which is still early.Baisha said. In case he has to detain you.I don't know how many midnights you have to pass before you can be free.Jack said to her.Then he said quickly and automatically: Alright, Baisha, I didn't mean that either.no need to worry.Officer Mi will get you out.You know. Betha poured out another glass of wine.In less than twenty minutes, the whiskey bottle became something that Jake always held in his hand.He also forgot what he said earlier, that Baisha must drink with him.He would help Baisha pour the wine, but he kept busy pouring himself.Baisha pretended to be drinking too.Even so, he drank a third of his wine. I wish I could savor this fine wine slowly, like you.He said: "But I like toast.One cup at a time is my temper.It is not easy to change.Baisha, you are a good egg.No wonder Officer Mi likes you.Looks like they turned the heat back on, yes?I thought it was cold in here, but it's getting hot now.Just a little stuffy.Did you feel it? Well enough.Baisha said.Now she is not afraid of the other party looking into her eyes.She looked at the police officer sitting opposite from the table, her eyes were watery and her face was red.Jack put his hands into his trousers pockets, straightened his legs, crossed his ankles, and shrank a little towards the edge of the chair. You work night shift too?Baisha asked. often. Can you sleep on the night shift? Accustomed to being able to sleep anywhere, Jack squinted his eyes, and couldn't lift his eyelids anymore.The light is too bright.It irritates the eyes.The doctor said that modern people are unwilling to give their eyes a proper rest. Baisha looked at him like a cat watching a bird in the sun in the shade. Jake nodded his head once or twice, dropped his jaw, and opened his eyes suddenly alertly. Baisha lowered her eyes and continued to draw her pattern with the pencil.She found that it was not easy to draw circumscribed circles of several triangles without compass.Hearing the whirring sound in her ears, she raised her head and felt that she was also drunk, but her mind was still very clear. Did Shanlou arrest Peng Yinmeng?she asked. No, what's the matter? For such a murder to be successful, Northford must have a female accomplice.He must have a woman call his wife and trick her into going to that garage.If he has a hand with Peng Yinmeng, I believe Peng Yinmeng is the female accomplice we want. oh!Under the influence of alcohol, Jake responded enthusiastically: Your idea is really on the road. And I think all these anonymous letters are written by this venerable little brat. Jack said incomprehensibly: Why did she write a letter against herself? Baisha suddenly had a new concept.Of course, it was to put aside other people's doubts about herself.Before sending the letter, she already knew that Mrs. Bei was dead.She also knew that there were some accidents and things didn't go as smoothly as she had imagined.She knew that such a letter could divert other people's doubts about her.You see, in the eyes of you police, she is just Bei Fude's lover, not Bei Fude's accomplice. Oh you may be right.Jake struggled to get to the phone.Do you want to tell Officer Mi?I have to think about his phone number when I come to see him. Jack put his head on his hands.Put your head on the table and concentrate your thoughts. A few seconds later, Baisha saw that his broad shoulders loosened, his arms collapsed to the left and right, his upper body lay flat on the table, and the phone was knocked almost to the ground.Baisha tried to help him, but he was already snoring loudly, and all he breathed out was the smell of whiskey. Baisha carefully backed her clucking swivel chair.She stood up, feeling a little swayed too.She gently supported the table with her hands, stood firm, and walked towards the office door with her toes. Behind her, Jake moved uneasily, muttering something incomprehensible, his tongue was too big to roll in his mouth due to the effect of alcohol. Bai Sha carefully opened the door of her private office a crack, and slowly squeezed out.She closed the door carefully, taking hold of the handle so that the lock would not rattle. It was dark already.But there was still enough light for her to pass through the reception room without bumping into the furniture and making a noise.She fumbled for the doorknob of the office door, and before walking out of the corridor, she made sure and locked the door.
