At nine minutes to five, Bu Aiqian opened the door of Ke Baisha's private office.You could tell she was nervous even before the door closed.As soon as the door closed behind her, she said, "He's back." Who is back? The witness who saw the car accident. Bai Sha thought for a while and said: He is here for business.He's a jerk playing blackmail.If I don't let him succeed, I shouldn't see him at all. Elsie said nothing, waiting for her to decide. Well, Betha said: Tell him to come in. The man came in with a smile and a courteous look.You don't have to send someone to follow me, he said: Mrs. Ke.But I hope you don't have prejudice against me.

Baisha didn't say anything. I've thought about it.The man said: Maybe you are telling the truth about this.I'm willing to make a deal with you at a lower price.The girl didn't know who hit her.Maybe I'm the only one in the world who knows.However, there is no benefit in locking the data in Notepad.I am determined to give you the girl's name and address.I won't charge you a dime.You go to see her, talk to her, she is going to sue, she will win.I just need a quarter. a quarter of what?Baisha asked. A quarter she got from the man who drove it.He may have insurance.There is bound to be an out-of-court settlement.

I don't care about the lawsuit.Baisha said: I told you. I know, you said it.We don't have to argue about it.Say it.But I have also repeatedly stated that if she wants to know who hit her, she will have to pay money, and she doesn't have to pay up front. If she wins the lawsuit or settles out of court, she will pay when she gets the money.I will hire a lawyer to sign an agreement with you to legalize everything, what do you think? Baisha squeezed her lips together and shook her head stubbornly. The visitor laughed.No need to pretend.You know it's not too much to ask.You may not be interested in going to court now, but if you think about it again, it will be different.Well, I'll give you time to think about it.When you can use me, put an ad in the classifieds.

May I have your name? Qian, the humble surname Qian Qian Zilai. Ke Baisha said: I tell you Yes, yes, he interrupted her smoothly: The girl you are looking for is Dai Sephine.She lives at Titade Apartments on South Figaro Road.She didn't go to any hospital at all. why not?Bai Sha said: Didn't that man say he wanted to send her to the hospital? There is nothing wrong with that.The guest said: "It is about sending her there."He wanted to send her to the hospital for an examination so as not to worry, but she refused to go for some reason.The crash was Friday evening.On Saturday morning, she was sore and sore that she couldn't get up.She asked for leave by phone.She didn't get up on Sunday either.She can get a few hundred yuan to subsidize, but she doesn't know who bumped into her.

He stood up, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked at Baisha speculatively, and said: Now, you should know my usefulness. Bai Sha looked at the door, wanted to say something, but stopped herself. The visitor said: You want to throw me out again, Mrs. Ke?Why are you being polite this time?Actually, Mrs. Ke, you can try to earn this money by yourself.But when I need me, I will come.Get your message today for free.This is called a free sample.If you want to make a lot of money, you still need my help. You are welcome.Bye now.He walked out of the office with a leisurely gait. Within ten seconds, Baisha made all the preparations for leaving get off work.

Elsie was covering the typewriter with a cover when Betha came to the outer office.She curiously wanted to ask the boss if he had gotten the information she wanted from the visitor, but she didn't ask, and Ke Baisha didn't take the initiative to provide the answer. The Titmouse Condo is a typical condominium that was built in abundance in Southern California when condominiums were popular.The current rent for a single apartment should be 27 to 40 yuan a month.The house is made of bricks.There are white steps at the entrance, prominent walkways and herringbone walkway eaves.The eaves are covered with red tiles.The house is 30 feet wide and has three floors. The letter box at the door has the name of the resident, and the doorbell is right next to the letter box, making it very easy to find.

Bai Sha looked for Dai Sephine's name and found it without any difficulty.With her stubby index finger, she rang the doorbell. A young woman's voice replied: Which one, please? Because of that car accident, I want to see you, miss. A woman's voice said: Come up please.The electric lock was unlocked, and Baisha walked in. There was no elevator in the apartment, so Baisha had to climb the stairs.Baisha climbed the stairs in a calm and unhurried way to minimize calorie consumption.She leans her upper body forward and lifts her knees high with each step, so she looks like her body undulates a lot.When she came to the door of Dai Sephine's apartment, she didn't have heart palpitations and breathlessness, and she knocked on the door with her knuckles confidently.

The young woman who answered the door was about twenty-five years old.She has red hair, an upturned nose, smiling eyes, and slightly wide lips, ready to smile at any time. Hello.she says. Hello.Bai Sha said: Are you Dai Sephine? Yes. May I come inside? Come in, come in. Dai Sephine wore pajamas underneath, a house robe over it, and a pair of slippers.The unpretentious condition of the apartment indicated that she had lived here for a considerable period of time.Old newspapers, old magazines piled up in a pile, the ashtray hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and the room smelled of stale cigarettes.

please sit down.The young woman said: Tomorrow I can tidy up the house. You have been sleeping in bed?Baisha asked. Observation in bed.Dai Sephine said: Misfortunes never come singly. Kebaisha made herself comfortable in the chair. What's wrong with a car accident? yes!do not you know? have no idea. I lost my job. You said you were fired because you couldn't go to work for a few days? oh!no.It was because of Mr. Mei's death that all the bad things happened one after another.I thought you knew all about it.You first say who you are and what you want, and then we will talk about other things.

Baisha said: I do not represent any insurance company, and I will not bring you any benefits. A look of disappointment appeared on Sephine's face.I really hope you represent the insurance company. I'm afraid you have this kind of misunderstanding. When the car hit me, I didn't think I was hurt at all.Of course, I was shocked. I wanted to be a strong girl since I was a child. I made up my mind and told myself not to cry.At least, none of the bones were broken, it was just knocked unconscious. Baisha nodded sympathetically. The young man driving was very nice.He stopped immediately.When I woke up, he was holding me and was about to load me into his car.He kept insisting that I should at least go to the hospital for a checkup.I didn't think it was necessary, but then it occurred to me that maybe he was being so kind for his own protection, so I said ok, after getting in the car, we chatted speculatively, and I convinced him I was fine, what There is no problem, and I will not sue him or ask for compensation.I told him I would never ask for a dime in compensation.So he sent me home.

Baisha continued to nod sympathetically, giving the other party confidence and encouragement. Just when I thought there would be no problems, strange symptoms appeared.I went to a doctor and the doctor said that concussions are often like this, completely normal for a few days, but it takes a while before you feel the symptoms.The doctor considers me lucky to be in the situation I am now. Yes.Baisha said: I fully believe in this.However, if you still want to find out who that man is, there is always a chance real?Seeing that Baisha stopped automatically, Dai Sefine asked Baisha. should be.Baisha said. What on earth do you have to do with this case?she asked. Ke Baisha gave her a business card.I am the head of a detective agency. A detective!Dai Sephine cried out in surprise. Yes. Dai Sephine said: I always think that detectives are weird people, but you are no different from ordinary people. is no difference. Why are you interested in me? Because someone hired me to find you. who? Bai Sha smiled and said: If you guess a thousand times, you will never guess it.There is a man interested in you who knows you are hurt and wants to know about you. But why didn't he call himself? He doesn't know how to contact you. You say he doesn't know where I work? he does not know. who is he? An old man, said Betha: he seemed oh!I bet it's the blind man! Now it was Baisha's turn to be surprised, how could she have guessed it all at once.He asked: How did you think of it? It means that you told me, you are so confident that I can't guess who asked you to come to me, so this person must be very out of the ordinary.You must know that I often think of him, and I was still thinking this morning, how can I inform him that I am fine.She smiled and said: Of course, you can't write a letter to a blind man who is selling ties in front of the bank building, can you? you are right.Baisha said. So, I have no choice but to ask you to tell him that I am very, very grateful for his concern. Bai Sha nodded. Please tell him I thank him and I will see him myself tomorrow morning or the day after tomorrow if there are no further complications. He really cares about you.Baisha said: He himself is very special, he can almost replace his eyes with his ears. Still please tell him that I am fine first, thank him, I will go to see him. certainly. Bai Sha stood up from her chair, hesitated, and said: I may be able to get some compensation for you, but first I need to spend a little money to find out who the young man who bumped into you is.Unless you deem it necessary, the matter is so closed, and I will close the case. You said you have a way to know who hit me? I said that I may have hope, but it will cost a lot of money. How much does it cost. Don't know yet.Maybe a fraction of what you can get, I guess others want half of what you can get.If you have other ways to find out, I don't encourage you to go this route. But you'll do everything for me, won't you? If you settle out of court, of course I can do it for you. If you want to go to court, of course only you can do it yourself. oh!It's impossible to go to court.The young man had a good conscience and was very considerate.I believe he is insured, if he knows that I am bed rested, of course, it is not too serious.I just couldn't work for three or four days, and my job was going to be lost anyway, and it had nothing to do with it. The man you worked for, died? Yes, Mejoule. You must be working not far from where the blind man stands guard. Two streets away from the bank is the old building on the corner square, where Mr. Mei has a small studio. What does he do? His own hobbies related research work.He has a theory that armaments have a certain way to develop, and the best self-defense weapon is nothing more than aggression weapon.And the aggressive armaments are endless. Once you start to participate in the competition, you will eventually suffer the consequences. The more you start investing, the more difficult it will be to deal with in the future. But you will not be interested in these. Very interesting theory.Baisha said. He is going to write a book on this topic, and I have already dictated a lot for him, and the work has gone smoothly. Baisha said: If you want to get some compensation for this car accident, you can tell me.I think it should be five hundred yuan or one thousand yuan, after all you have a lot of mental damage and I won't rip him off for mental damage, I just want to get back the wages and medical expenses for those days when I can't work. Of course, Bai Sha explained: However, when a person applies for compensation from the insurance company, most people will open their mouths first, including other expenses, so that after deducting all normal expenses, they can still have a little left.My dear, think about it carefully, you have my phone number, you can contact me. Mrs. Ke, you are very kind.Saturday, Sunday don't count, I actually only lost three working days.My weekly salary is 30 yuan, and the three-day work is about 18 yuan.It cost me seven yuan to see a doctor, so I should claim twenty-five yuan from the insurance company. Baisha held the doorknob with one hand and stopped there. She said: Don't be a fool. There is a knock at the door, a timid and modest knock. Dai Sephine said: Open the door for me. Kebetha opened the door. A modest-looking man of fifty-seven or eight, with a sandy mustache on his upper lip, stood a little condescendingly at the door, looking at Baisha with his blue eyes, and said: You must be Miss Dai, I am Meckley.I rang the wrong doorbell and someone let me into the apartment.Sorry, I should have exited and rang your doorbell again.I'm here to talk to you about my cousin Mehler, he's so fast not me.Betha stood herself aside so that the man outside the door could walk into the room.That is Miss Dai, and I am also a guest. oh.said the visitor apologetically. Come in, Miss Dai said: Mr. Mei, forgive me for not standing up.I was hit by a car, not very serious, but the doctor told me not to move around unless it was necessary.In fact, I know a lot about you, and your cousin asked me to dictate a lot of letters to you. Mr. May walked into the apartment, smiled at Dai Sefine, and said worriedly: You were hit by a car? She reached out to shake his hand.It was just a small car accident, please sit down. Baisha said: I'm leaving.Start stepping over the threshold. Wait a minute, Mrs Ko.Dai Sefine said: I really want to talk to you about how to get compensation, can you stay a little longer? Baisha said: I have told you everything I can say.Don't worry too much about how much you have lost. When you really want to fight a lawsuit worth trying, you can call me. You have my phone number. OK, thank you.
