Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

The person in the recruiting office of the Navy did not ask too many questions, he just asked a few key questions, and asked me to fill out a questionnaire. After I filled it out, he looked at it casually and said: When can you take the medical examination? When is the soonest?I asked. If you want, you can do it now. I am participating now. I was ushered to the back, undressed, they checked me and I passed. How long will it take you to get all the chores ready? Twenty-four hours, okay?I asked. Yes, please come here at one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon and leave on time. I told him I would be there on time and drove back to the detective agency, Betha was getting impatient and smoking.

What corner have you rolled into?she asked. I waited for you here for two hours in the morning, but you didn't come, so I had to go out by myself. Her small eyes fluttered: what have you been doing?Punch a hole in the bottom of our boat? I hope not. He handed me a telegram. The telegram said: Congratulations to your owl, arrive at 8:30, please pick up the plane.Signed by Haimolai. I know.I said: I called him. What did you tell him on the phone? I found Fang Ludai. I thought you said don't tell him. It's okay to tell him about it. Bai Sha said: Have you read the headlines in the newspaper this afternoon?New Orleans homicide, looking for clues to the city's old case.The newspaper said that the police were looking for Fang Ludai, and the newspaper also said that Lu Shiman had killed Gao Haode, and Fang Ludai was also involved.

uh-huh. Are you not surprised? No. Wanting to get information from you, Baisha said angrily, it is hopeless, and I will not try, I just tell you, she is too hot, if you hide her, your hands will be burnt. Is your military construction business doing well? Immediately Baisha became alert, her aggressive attitude disappeared, and she said gently and politely: Baisha is going to have a good talk with you. talk about what? If anyone wants to ask you any questions, remember to answer that you are the decision maker of major policies, and you are not very clear about the details, tell them that Baisha's recent poor health is her heart, so she is gradually relying on you more and more, The contract signed by Baisha, you can make some money if you do well, and the most important thing is that you have to take over almost all of it.

For your heart?I asked. Yes. I didn't know you had a bad heart! I don't know either, until all the worry and busyness weighs on me, I don't think it's serious, but it's worrying. Why are you uncomfortable? My heart beats when I eat too much. Saw a doctor? I also sometimes have trouble breathing. Saw a doctor? When I lay down, my heart beats like the whole bed. The question is, have you seen a doctor? God!Of course not, why should I go to see someone who drew your blood and gave a diagnosis that even I knew the result, high blood lipids, high cholesterol, or prescribe a lot of medicines, and treat your stomach like a garbage incinerator , a doctor who is so fat that he keeps telling his patients to lose weight.

It just occurred to me that it might be helpful for you to ask a doctor. I told you, not necessarily. Sometimes, a doctor is seen for proof of diagnosis. I'll get one if I want it, don't worry about it. What do you want me to do with this construction work? Baisha will discuss with you again, honey, we must finish this case first, just remember one thing, anyone who asks you a question, just say that I can't stand the pressure of work, I have a mental breakdown, so you Had to take care of the whole building job. But why do you say that? Baisha said angrily: You bastard, don’t object, she said that because she automatically stopped, and after a while, she said in a normal conversational tone: because you will not leave Baisha aside and leave her alone, especially Baisha is devoted to patriotism , but I took too much and couldn't put it down.

patriotism?I asked. Everyone has a share.Baisha laughed at herself glibly. I said: Mr. Hai is here, are you going to pick him up? do you think i should go Yes. Well, you can say whatever you want. I stretched my hands and legs, yawned, and said: I still have some odd things to do, we meet here at 7:45, everyone is on time. I will be here.Baisha agreed: I still have to wait for the mail in the afternoon. I am waiting for a package. When the package arrives, I will show you something. Sha can buy real silk stockings for a cheap price, which will surprise you. I went to the public library, where I spent the rest of the afternoon looking at the archives of the old papers, and I read all the reports on the love-tax gangster, with a special emphasis on the case at Gauhoud.

I left at 5:30 and walked back to the hotel, but stopped at a shoe-shine booth on Fifth Street to shine and read an afternoon paper. I flipped to the classifieds, personnel: Dai, I've come to Los Angeles and I need to see you right away. No matter what other people do to destroy you, I care about you most.Dianhaimen 6︱9544 find me.Ina. The shoes were about to be polished, and the black shoe shiner was startled when he saw me jumping off the high chair. I gave him the money and said, "Thank you, it's ok." The taxi took me back to the hotel, and I took the key and hurried into the room.

The room has been tidied up.Fang Ludai is not here.She had obviously returned from shopping, for there was a very thin peach pajamas lying on the bed.There are two pairs of flesh-colored socks.There were some unopened paper parcels at the foot of the bed, and a small travel bag on a chair.The travel bag was empty with the tags still on it.A newspaper was thrown on the ground. I went back to my room, picked up the phone and said to the operator: My sister called a friend and is out to see her now.She gave me her phone number, but I've lost it.Please take a look at the number registered, the last number my sister dialed from her room.

Please wait a moment. I waited for ten seconds and she told me it was Haimen 6︱9544. I said: By the way, this is the number, please connect me, okay? I waited with the phone, and someone answered as soon as the ring rang, and a girl said: Pine View Hotel. May I ask if there is a Gayna from New Orleans.I asked. Please wait a moment. It didn't take long for me to have the news I wanted.Ms. Ge left 20 minutes ago without leaving her address. I hung up the phone, took the elevator down to the lobby, went into a store, bought a suitcase, went upstairs and threw all my stuff into the suitcase.I threw the paper bags at the foot of Lu Dai's bed into the box without opening them.I also packed my pajamas and socks.Her face cream, toothbrush and toothpaste are placed in the small travel bag she bought.

I dampened a towel to remove any fingerprints.Doorknobs, mirrors, tabletops, drawers, everything she might have touched.After finishing these, I called the hotel and asked the hotel to send someone up to pick up the luggage.I went downstairs to move out.I told the staff that my mother died suddenly and that my sister and I were going to live with another sister immediately.That sister is a little abnormal because of her excessive agitation.We don't want her to live alone. I took a taxi to the station, put my luggage in the temporary storage, took a receipt, put the receipt in an envelope, wrote the office address, sealed the envelope, and put the envelope in the mailbox.I looked at my watch, I only had time to go to the office to pick up Baisha, so I could go to the airport.
