Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

The Lantern Bar & Nightclub is one of countless typical bar nightclubs clustered in the corporate district.There is a small stage for shows, eight or nine waitresses.It can be seen from the venue that it was originally opened up as a facade.There are more than a dozen photos in front of the door to advertise the current show. It was still early, the guests were far from full, and the street girls were scattered here and there in twos and threes.Some soldiers, some sailors, and four or five pairs of older tourists mixed together with the mentality that they had to take a look. I found myself a table, sat down, and ordered a glass of rum and a Coke.After the drink was delivered, I stared at the thick liquid in the cup, and made a suddenly lonely expression.

Within a few seconds, a girl came over: Hello, Kaizi. I made a smile: hello, big eyes. That's right, you look like you want to be happy with someone alone. you are right. She stopped across from me, put her face in her hands, leaned her elbows on the back of the chair, and waited for my invitation.She didn't expect that I would stand up for her, so when I stood up to invite her, I had a slightly surprised expression. Have a drink.I said. She said: OK.She looked around, hoping that other girls could see that a man was inviting her to a seat.The bartenders are always there and always available.

Whiskey and water.She calls her wine. what would you like?the valet asked me. I already have it. The male waiter said: When there is a girl to accompany the drink, one yuan can buy two glasses of wine.One yuan for a glass of wine when there is no girl. I took out a dollar and a quarter: give this girl my wine, and give you a quarter, so don't bother me for now. He smiled, took the money, and brought a medium glass of colored liquid to the girl. She didn't bother to make a fuss, picked up the glass and swallowed it in one gulp, and pushed the glass to the front of the table.The empty glass is in front of a lady, and the lady feels neglected.I reached for the cup and sniffed at the residue.

She said a little angrily: You all think you are smart people, but you don’t even need to hear it.Tea of ​​course. Tea.I said. Of course it's tea, if you can afford it, you shouldn't complain. I am not complaining! Most people will complain. I won't. I took out a five-yuan bill from my pocket and let her see it. I folded it up and hid it in my hand. I pushed my hand into the middle of the table and asked, "Is Mary Wen there now?" Now, that is Mary Wen, the one standing by the piano.She is in the top class, and all the girls are in her charge, and she also assigns the seats.

Is she the one who assigned you to this table? Yes. If we quarrel, what will happen. We can't quarrel, and a bowl won't ring.You buy me wine, I won't quarrel with you.I wouldn't be here if you didn't buy me wine. What if the two of us can't get along? Then of course you won't buy me wine. certainly. She smiled and said: Of course I wouldn't stay here. Will Marie Win send you back. No, if you are still here, she will send another lady over.If you still don't like it, she will let you sit here alone and ignore you until there are too many guests.There are so many guests that they will try to get you to walk when you need the table.That's what you need to know, right?

Her hand approached mine from the table. Roughly so.I said: what is your name? Her hand paused: Lusa.what else do you want? Is there any way to get Wen Marie to sit on the table? She narrowed her eyes into a slit and looked around the environment: I can arrange it for you. How to arrange the law? Tell her you like her typical.You can also keep looking at her, don't pay too much attention to me.When the place isn't too busy, she sometimes sits at the table for some extra cash. It's better for you to arrange better. OK, let me give it a try. She stretched out her hand, and the five-dollar bill changed hands.

What else can I order? How is Mary Winner?I asked: Do you still have a conscience for the guests? She's a nice person, but the last four or five weeks have been traumatic, and we just can't get real emotions out of our line of business. what does she like?What's the best way to deal with her? Against Winmarie? yes! The girl smiled and said: Easy, buy wine for her, and when no one is paying attention, just sneak a dollar and give her the money. What you said was really emotional, did that person buy her a bar? No, the person who bought her wine seemed to her a lucky son.You are very good to me, may I give you some advice?

OK!Please say. Let me give you a little advice.You seem to be a good person, it's better not to fool around with Marie Wen. I want to get something from her. It's best to avoid it. I want a special message. oh! After a moment of silence, I saw the male waiter nearby, and instructed him to come over, and gave him another dollar and twenty-five cents and said: Another glass for the lady. She waited for the male waiter to go away and said: You don't need to order wine anymore. Why? Because you ordered a drink for me, and I went to talk about Xiang, Wen Mali might not believe it, so she came here by herself.That plan will only work if you don't order drinks for me.In fact you keep ordering wine for me, even though your eyes are on that one.

Really recognize money but not people?I asked with a smile. She said: Of course money is recognized here but not people. Do you think it's love at first sight every time? We all laughed. She said: "Sometimes we have good clients and they treat Marie Wen like we are ladies and turn around and look at us.You take a good look at her, I'll pretend not to be happy. I stared at Marie Winn, who was tall and thin, with beautiful hair, big dark eyes, and heavy make-up, so her lips were painted bright red. I saw her start to turn and then suddenly turn back.I understood that the girl at my table had passed some sort of signal to her.

She stared at me for a while, and I looked directly into her dark, ravishing eyes, and she turned so that I could see her long, thin curves under her red evening gown, clinging to her body like wet silk. Lusa said: "She was down today, she was a witness to that murder. You mean the case where the lawyer was killed? yes! Really, what could she know? She heard gunshots as she was opening the door to the apartment. Just because she heard the gunshots that killed people, she was depressed?I asked. Marie Win is not that kind of person.Not happy because the cops woke her up and asked her questions.Lack of sleep diminishes her beauty.

Does she drink or not?I asked. The girl looked at me suddenly alertly: You're a detective, aren't you? I made a surprised expression and raised my eyebrows: detective?you said I? Yes, you are a detective.You wanted her for that murder, didn't you? I said: I have been misunderstood many times in my life.But seeing me, and saying that I am a detective, is the first time. That's okay, you're a detective anyway.You have been very kind to me and I have given you news.Marie Winn was very calm and accurate.If she said the gunshots were at two-thirty, it was two-thirty.You don't have to doubt that. You're still going to get her here so I can talk to her directly? Hmm, this will make my life easier. Why make you feel better. You're a detective, not really thinking she's prettier than me. Tell me about her love history, how did that man make her feel real? Believe it or not, it started out because of the other person's indifference.After he aroused Marie Wen's interest, he pretended not to care if she cared about him.This bothers her a lot.Most men hope that women will care about him and marry him.He is just the opposite. You talked to her about the gunshots?I asked. Yes. Believe she won't lie? Yes, she heard gunshots.Check the time when you get home. She is sober, not drunk? Sober, not drunk. I smiled and said to her: Lusha, you told me everything I need to know.I don't have to look for Marie Winn anymore. She said: I have given her the code, you are interested in her.She might be tempted to come over.Ever see her turn around to show you her curves?After a while she'll look over your shoulder and give you half a smile.The pose she learned from the calendar. I said: It would be a pity to waste it, and I told her that I changed my opinion because I figured out that she has bad breath or Hong Kong feet.goodbye. Can I see you later? Is this your standard goodbye word? She looked at me and said frankly: Of course, what are you thinking?Want me to marry you?You are a detective, not a child. Thank you, I said, and for this you may see me again, for the moment I am really going. where to go Errands, a lot of errands, I don't like, but someone has to do it. She said: Maybe this is life, even if you don't like it, you have to do it. Do you feel this way too? Yes. Why? She made a helpless gesture and said: Because I asked for it, I want to live, I have a child. I said: I suddenly remembered that the information you provided me was already worth ten yuan to the company, here is another five yuan. Is it really a public expenditure? Public money and my boss has a very good conscience. She took mine by the hand and said: You are so lucky to have a good boss!The five-dollar bill rolled into her palm.She walked me all the way to the door, and said: I like you, I really hope you can come again. I nod. She said: Although I say this to every guest, this time it is sincere. I patted her on the shoulder and walked out the door. She stood at the door and watched me walk towards the street.I hailed a taxi and went to the airport. This is yet another piece of legwork for a complete record.But to be a good detective, running errands is an absolute must. The flight manifest showed that Heimleigh left for New York City at 10:30, and he flew back immediately, arriving at 8:30 that morning. I even checked that he was indeed on the plane, and all records pointed to his whereabouts this time. I took a taxi back to the hotel, eager to get back to sleep.
