Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

The female manager of Titmouse Apartments opened the door and said: Good afternoon, we have some very nice bachelor apartments available here.In one of them, she recognized Ke Baisha and stopped automatically. Bai Sha said: Don't worry, I might let you earn some money. The manager hesitated, thought for a while and said: How to make money. Bai Sha said: I am looking for someone, if you can help me find her, my employer will give you some compensation in money. which one? The young woman who lived with Daitherine. oh!You say Jamaya. Yes. What are you looking for her for? Ke Baisha opened the purse, took out a card from it, handed it to her and said: She is a witness of a car accident.I am the boss of a detective agency.

How much? ten yuan. When do you pay? I'll pay when I find her. The money is not much, and the betting time is very long. Baisha smiled at her with what she thought was the kindest smile.You don't have to do anything.Just tell me all you know. Well, come in. The manager led the way to an apartment on the first floor, pointed to a chair and asked Baisha to sit down, opened a drawer and took out some sorted information cards, and found one with a name and number on it. When she moved in, she said: exactly a month ago.The maid told me that there was another lady's name next to Dai Sephine's name tag.the second night.I'm going to ask Dai Sephine.She said a friend of her boss was moving in with her.I told her that the rent here is based on one person living in an apartment.She was very angry and wanted to ask me what is the difference between living with two people and living alone.She said she paid the rent, the apartment was hers, and it was only inconvenient for them to live in a bachelor apartment for two people, but it was harmless to the apartment itself.

In fact, the manager said: I also think what she said is correct, but I have no right to decide. The apartment belongs to the bank, and I am just the one who manages it. They set the rules.This is not mentioned in the lease of the house.The only feasible option is to ask the tenants to pay an extra five yuan when the next rent payment is due, but it is stipulated that they must be formally notified in writing 30 days in advance.We have some printed notification letters, just fill in the apartment number, the rent to be charged, the date, and sign it.I filled out a notification letter of this kind, and I handed it to her, informing her that her rent would increase by five yuan.Of course she was angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Did she say at that time that she would move out? Not at that time. How long has Miss Dai lived here? It expired yesterday, exactly five months. Have you seen this Jamaya? Yes, seen it twice.The first time was right after that conversation, she came to see me to see if I could not increase their rent.I told her that this is the bank's regulation, and I have no choice but to add it.The house is not mine. What about the second time? Last night, she came in and gave me the key back.She said that Dai Sephine had found a new job and was traveling a lot with a man, so she no longer lived here, so the two of them were quitting the lease.We have a clause in our lease that the tenant who moves out has to pay something to clean up.Their apartment was five yuan.I asked Jamaya who paid the money.Jamaya said that she would not pay half of this amount. She would not pay two yuan and fifty cents for the cleaning fee because she had only been in one place for four weeks. The people who lived there should pay the full five yuan.Afterwards the two girls had a talk, and I think they compromised on their own.Jamaya paid one dollar, Dai Sephine four.I know both of them were upset about it, but in the end Jamaya handed me back all the keys and an envelope with five dollars in it.I told Jamaya that if she wanted to live in this apartment alone, the original rent would be enough, and there was no need to add five yuan to the rent.Miss Jia is a nice person, exactly the kind of tenant we welcome.

she stayed? The manager laughed and said: She didn't.She said she had nothing against me personally, but she wanted me to tell the bank that apartments are full all over the world.She would rather live on the street than in this apartment.It looked as if she had packed her things and moved them out in the afternoon.She came back to discuss some things with Miss Dai, and got a compromise on the cleaning fee.Miss Jia seemed very angry.I think the two may have said some nasty things to each other. Did she leave an address where she moved?Baisha asked. Didn't you say you had ten yuan for me?

Yes. Address and banknotes, pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand? No, I have no money until I find her. How do I know if you found her? you do not know.Baisha said. Well, it's Fenglin Apartment on Damalu.Miss Jia is a good person, and told me several times that this rule is unreasonable, but she and I are not uncomfortable personally.Dai Sephine is different, she really hates me.She left in anger and didn't even bother to come and see me.I asked Jamaya, and she had to admit.That's okay too.I do not care.One day she wanted to rent another apartment, and that apartment would call.Come and ask her what kind of lodger she is, and see what I tell them.

What's wrong with her?Baisha asked. It is enough to nitpick about the rules.Of course, there are other things I want to say. It's not that I want to gossip about others, but what?Baisha asked. The manager said: She works for a much older man, doesn't she?A man who walks with a little limp and uses a cane? Yes, that's right. Hey, I just knew it. What's the matter?What's wrong? oh!I can't say there's anything wrong with it.He came here to look for her two or three times, well, I didn't say anything, but I have always been so good to her, she really has no reason to raise her rent because of me, she is so ignorant.In any case, this is not the subject of our discussion.You go to your Maplewood apartment and you'll meet Jamaya but don't give out that I gave you the address because she told me there was a young man who was after her very hard and she didn't mean much to him.I also promised her to keep it a secret.As long as I forward the letter to her, she never wants me to tell others the address.

Ke Baisha said: As soon as I find her, I will ask my client to send you a check. She must be there, you might as well ask your client to write a check now. My client won't do that, he won't pay until it's done, and I'll find her and the check will come. Well, I understand that, I work for a bank myself.Remember, you'll find her at that address, but don't say I told you. I also understand this. Ke Baisha, with her hunting eyes shining brightly, took a taxi and came to Fenglin Apartment on the main road. The woman in charge of the apartment had an angular face and toffee-colored hair, which was only slightly burnt before it was made. She looked at Baisha suspiciously.Jamaya?She had never heard the name before.There was no tenant with that name in the apartment either.She doesn't know anything.If Ke Baisha wanted to leave a letter for Jamaya who wanted to move in, the manager said that Jamaya would definitely receive the letter.There are still a few vacancies in the apartment, but no Jamaya has come to ask or make a reservation.

Betha thought the woman was lying, but at the moment there was no other way but to pretend to believe it completely, to withdraw and make another plan. The headlines appeared in the afternoon newspaper: The police are urgently looking for the blind beggar. Baisha found a printing house and printed a batch of letterhead envelopes with quick-drying ink.The letterhead of the envelope is Yeyin Lottery Company, and its address is Juxue Building, Los Angeles. Ke Baisha took the letter envelope back to the office, asked the concierge to pay attention to the letter, returned to the office by herself, and asked Aixi to type a letter: Dear Miss Jia:

In order to liven up the night bank work in Los Angeles, the company has now arranged for the city's movie theater union to regularly contribute a small percentage of one of their large funds, so that we can draw prizes every sixty days.Of course, we have to be very careful about proofreading the prize winners.So, if you can prove that you are a depositor of any night collection and withdrawal bank, or have a telephone reservation card for any movie theater in this city.Please send the bank and account number, or the name of the movie theater and the reservation card number, plus your social insurance number, and send it immediately.Prizes that have been drawn that are yours and that you will be very interested in will be posted immediately.

The main reason for this activity is to thank the customers of Yeyin and the cinema, and all expenditures are also included in the rewards, so no matter who gets any bonus prizes, their names will always be kept secret, and the winners do not have any conditions attached to fulfill them.The fund is a tax-paid deposit, so the winner has no tax issues. your faithful Night Silver Sweepstakes Company manager You can sign the manager's name, Elsie.Ke Baisha said: I have already made an agreement with the concierge that any letters from this company should be sent here. Will it constitute fraudulent use of mail?Bu Aiqian asked. No, as long as she writes a letter, we will give her twenty-five yuan as a bonus. Do you think she will fall for it? I think she will.When he saw this letter, he would think that he had won a prize of more than a thousand yuan. How could he think that someone would trick her into coming forward?If I'm not mistaken, Jamaya herself has something important to hide herself.She wouldn't take the initiative to ask the postal authorities if it was a hoax, nor would she ask any of her friends.After I find her and fix her, she will behave like a good girl. Bu Aiqian took the letter out of the typewriter, picked up a pen, signed it, and told Baisha: If anything happens, you have to admit that you asked me to sign it. I asked you to sign it.Bai Sha lazily admitted.
