Chapter One The gentleman who was pacing about in Kebetha's office with so much self-pity did not even notice that I entered the office. I'm so stupid, he said: How can I explain to my wife?How to explain to people you know, to my position!so terrible!I can't even think about it Ke Baisha interrupted him and said: Mr. Ren, Lai Tangnuo is here. He looked at me and continued talking to himself that he wasn't looking at anyone in the room at all. Looking at what I did that night, there is hardly a man in his right mind who would do the same thing.Mrs. Ke, I must be possessed.

Ke Baisha moved her 165-pound body on her swivel office chair, and the diamond ring on her hand gleamed under her moving gesture.Sit down and give your feet a rest.This is my partner Lai Tangnuo, as I told you.He will help you. I'm afraid that no one in the world can solve my problem anymore.There was a big mistake.this What happened, Mr. Ren?I interjected in his constant remorse and asked him. I am unlucky, I am reckless.He said: "Things are getting worse and worse, and now it's affecting my whole life.If Xiao knew it, she would definitely not be able to bear it. Xiao, who is it?I asked.

my wife.He said. Sit down, sit down.Ke Baisha said: For God's sake, you must calm down and tell Tang Nuo everything.If you don't tell me, how can Tang Nuo help you? Mr. Ren sat down, but he blamed himself so much that he couldn't concentrate his will at all.He said: This kind of thing is not like what a person like me would do.I Kebetha turned to me, as if answering what I was asking him.He took a cheap pony to the motel. No, not at all.Mr. Ren said: She is not a cheap horse.You have to trust me on this, Mrs. Ke. Well, not a bitch, what is? She is a very nice lady.Good-looking, good-natured, open-minded; modern inside and out, and different, absolutely cannot be exchanged for her casualness with money.

that motel?I asked. Kiss the motel.Baisha said. It's the one for short breaks, right?I asked. God, no!Very advanced.There is a swimming pool, good rooms, good communication equipment, and TV in each room. The air-conditioning system is central, and each room can be adjusted by itself. How did you choose that one?I asked. It was her suggestion.She once attended a conference and lived in that house. So which one did you take her to? Actually, it's not entirely like that. I wouldn't do such a thing, Mr. Lai.I wish you could understand me. Know what, Baisha blurted out impatiently, he was trying to understand you, but you didn't let him understand.

Tell women in advance.I said: How did you meet her?How long have you known her? I have known her for several months. Very familiar? no no!No!I really hope you can understand, Mr. Lai. Baisha gasped, wanted to say something, but changed her mind.bored face. I gestured for her to keep silent. Shannon, he said: Miss Belle is the waitress in the lounge.I often go to that bar for drinks. There are many kinds of maids, which one is she? It can be said that it is the foreman.She leads the stage, manages the positioning, appoints who to greet who, and sees what the guests want.She takes care of all lounges, too.

Well, I said: you took her to the hotel, did you get caught? No, no, you don't understand, Mr Lai, that's not how it happened.I'm afraid the whole thing will have a lot of bad consequences.I'm hoping someone can help me with this.But I promise, I will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, I will fight side by side behind. You are only now beginning to tell the truth.I said: what do you want? i hope someone will Why don't you tell me what happened first and how it happened, Baisha said: Then we will discuss how to fight. Mr. Ren said: Mr. Lai, I like girls.I'm not a libertine, but I like female camaraderie.

Shannon is beautiful?I asked. beautiful.Good posture, calm, effective, she walks a little bit Shake ass.Baisha finished for him. No, no, not ass wagging, it's swaying, rhythmic, undulating.She walks like she swims. go on.I said. good.I appreciate a woman's appearance.When I like them, it's in my nature, I can't resist their figure?I asked. Yes, yes, figure. thigh.Betha added. Yes, I do care.Mr Ren said. Well, you start admiring Beschanon's gait, and you No, no, not so directly.I noticed her clothes, her hairstyle.Everything about her has been carefully planned!I admire her ins and outs.

Up and down.Baisha added another sentence. After many contacts, she finally began to sit at my table and chat for a few minutes.Sometimes we have a good chat, that's all. But you go to the hotel together.I said. It was just that one night.He said. What happened? I was working late at the office and my wife was visiting her mom in Reno.She goes back twice a year, and I'm quite free. So you go to that lounge. Yes. It was late that day? Yes. Business is sluggish? not so good. Xia Nong came to sit on the table again? Yes. You talked about her job, her ambition, her appearance, and said she should be a movie star.

Yes, yes, yes.He said: How do you know everything, Mr. Lai? I'm just guessing from what you're saying.I said. Presumably, that's it.It turned out that she hadn't eaten before going to work, and it was impossible to eat before leaving get off work. When do you leave work? eleven o'clock at night.She always eats a little casually before going to work, and the meal after get off work is the main meal every day. So you invited her to have dinner with you after eleven o'clock? Yes. Where do you go to eat? Go to a Hungarian restaurant that specializes in minced meat.She introduced it.

So is it a restaurant she knows? Yes. have you been there? No. do you know? Never heard of it. Okay, after eating you drive her home? She has her own car. When you leave the lounge, use two cars? No, I drove her to the restaurant and we went home I mean I took her back first to a parking lot near the lounge where she parked.I first swam the Che River aimlessly and went for a drive.We went up Moholland Road, and we looked down at the lights of the whole city.I parked the car and I put my hand on her seat back anyway and I pulled her closer to me and I said something and she looked up at me and I kissed her.These were all very natural occurrences at that time.

so what? We lived in peace for a long time, and we kissed again.Afterwards we actually kiss and at this point I kind of feel like things are going too fast and she talks about Kiss Hotel and it's a great place and we're not far from Kiss at this point and I just start the car and she sees me Parking there, there was no objection. I found that the arrow was on the string, and there was no way back except to shoot it out. You went to register? She is very skilled, and she said that if I give her money to pay the rent, she can register. Did she say it should be registered as a couple? No, you should know, at that time we were in urgent need of each other anyway, she hurried into the hotel You gave her the money first? Yes. How many? twenty dollars. How much is the room fee?I asked. Thirteen yuan. Did she pay you back the seven yuan you got back? Of course, of course.God, Mr. Lai, I hope you don't look at this matter with colored glasses.This is not a money transaction.That made the whole affair look obscene. I just want to get to the bottom of it.I told him, so what? You can at least guess.Bai Sha added to him. Ren said: She came back to the car and told me that she told the staff that she and her husband were very tired after driving from San Francisco and wanted a quiet and good room. She checked in and was not suspected at all. What name do you use to register? Pu Jiatong. How could she just remember such a name? This itself has a story.She said she had heard the name once, it was very strange to her, somehow it reminded her of San Francisco.Since she said she was from San Francisco when registering, she registered Pu Jiatong. Of course she also registered the car number?I asked: The motel takes this very seriously. Ren said: She played very well with this. She didn't expect it at first. When they saw that the column of the registration certificate was blank and handed it back to her, she wanted to fill in a random number. There was a car parked, so she changed the number plate and wrote the number on it. What day are these?I asked. Saturday. The day before yesterday? Yes. Well, I said: That lady came back and told you that you are Mr. Pu and she is Mrs. Pu. Together, you can find the house rented to you.so what? We didn't find the house by ourselves, the servants took us there. Well, the servants took you there, did you give me a small bill? Yes. How many? One yuan. You have no luggage? No. Does the servant know? I don't know, I told him that I will take the luggage out of the suitcase myself after a while, and we only need him to lead the way to find a house. Do you think you can fool him this way? At least he didn't show anything out of the ordinary. He won't.I said: Go on, what happened.Did you go into a hotel and you got caught? No, we didn't, but it's too bad it's going to undo all my work.this Shut up!Bai Sha said: Don't keep nagging about this matter, just tell Tang Nuo what you want to do.It's important to do business. Well, I want you to be Mr. Pu Jiatong? how?I said: You want me to be Mr. Pu Jiatong? Yes. Why? I want you and Shannon to go there, and you will be Mr. Pu. I'm going with Beschanon too? Yes. when to go? Tonight, the sooner the better. What's Shannon's opinion on this matter? She is a good person, she knows my plight and she will cooperate. What is your dilemma? This is a very special situation.In fact, Mr. Lai, you have to understand that nothing happened in the hotel. Nothing happened, what do you mean? The two of us quarreled. Why quarrel? To be honest, I don't understand either.I did one thing wrong and asked for a bottle of whiskey.We sent them into the room and they started drinking.I started okay, she said I'm sloppy and we'll never get that vibe in the car again.At that time it was natural, but at this time it was quite forced.She said harsh words, expressing that she didn't like to be touched by others the most. She said that she was not against equal and open sexual relations, and she didn't like messing around. She slapped me, I was very angry, she stood up and walked out.I waited for her to come back, but she never came back.In hindsight I know she called a taxi, left, and went home. So what do you do? I waited a moment, must have fallen asleep.I woke up quite annoyed.I got in the car and drove the car home. Since you're fine, why are you so nervous? The murder.He said. What murder? Ke Baisha said: That was last Saturday, that night Long Feixiao was murdered. What did that head hit and die in the pool?I asked. Bai Sha nodded. I pondered for a moment: That happened in a nearby motel he said, didn't it? Ren said: That's right, the newspapers don't want to publish the name of the motel, they say it's just a luxury motel.However, there is a newspaper that publishes the name. This is the policy of the newspaper. In the event of suicide or homicide, the name will be avoided, and a luxury hotel in the urban area will be given to its readers.Accidents happen in fancy motels too. I said to Mr. Ren: All right.tell me what happened The police were eager to talk to the residents of each house on this side of the hotel that night.Police believe there may be a person who may know what's going on.Murder is a case that must be solved, a serious case.Long Feixiao is an assistant district attorney who is investigating another major murder case.His death may have been accidental.There was no water in the pool that night.They changed the water once a week. Long Feixiao might have drunk some wine and decided to jump into the pool for a dip, but bumped his head on the concrete floor.Or he might get slammed on the head with a club and fall into an empty swimming pool. Call it an accident, many things do not make sense.If it was murder, the case must be solved. There was a piece of news in the newspaper yesterday, saying that the police had obtained the list of every guest in the motel that night, and they were going to interview them one by one, asking them what they had seen and heard that night was related to the case.Some residents are from New York, but are still being recalled. So that's it, I said: the police were of course looking for a Pugato and his wife who lived in San Francisco and had an address, and it turned out that the address was false. exactly.He put his head down. well, what do you want now? I want you to go there tonight with Beschanon.I called the hotel and told them I was Pugaton and told them to leave the house and we would just make a quick trip to San Diego and come back.I sent them twenty-six yuan by special delivery.The house is now occupied.Since the residents of the day will be back in a short time, of course they will not check the fake address in San Francisco.They'll think we're just traveling in our cars. I want you and Shannon to go back there.Shanon went to the office to get the key again, and the counter staff would remember her.They would have left my phone message with the police, and the police would probably have called on you right away. What about visits? Mr. Ren said: I have arranged it well.The police are determined to solve the case, and they have no intention of pursuing the men and women who deviated slightly over the weekend.They just want to find everyone who was there on Saturday, and they have no intention of wasting time.You tell them that you two had a fight on Saturday, and today she wants to make it up to you.that is it. I shook my head, quit, I said. What do you mean you quit? I mean kill me and don't do it. you listen.Ren said: I know there are many risks involved.I will not call you Baigan, I told Mrs. Ke that I paid you one thousand yuan to play my role for one night, and told the police that you neither heard nor saw anything on that Saturday night.This is also true, for I neither saw nor heard anything.You have to understand that the police don't think anyone will hear or see anything at all.They were just working as usual, and they had to talk to everyone who was there that night, and I just wasn't the right person to interview them. Who are you? Ren Jiatong. What are you doing? investment career. You go to surrender.I said: Please ask in private.Let them ask you questions, let them ask Shannon questions, and all difficulties will be gone.They don't affect your personal issues, they just need to know the facts.You will have no trouble. He shook his head violently, the situation was not that simple.Otherwise, I wouldn't pay a thousand yuan.Mr. Lai, one thousand and five, how about it? Ke Baisha suddenly stood up on the chair, her greedy eyes were shining. Is there any particular reason?I said: Why did you not go to the police station in the first place, but to find a private investigator? my wife.He said. How is the wife? My wife is Gai Xiaoxiao. Gai Xiaoxiao, I said: I don't know and suddenly I stopped. God!Bai Sha said: You mean Ge Momin's daughter? Exactly, he said. There are so many banknotes that cannot be used up. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, Baisha said: He can He can chop off my head.Ren Jiatong interjected: "He doesn't like me, and he never liked me. This will kick me out of Ge's house!"Why am I stupid enough to get myself into such a predicament?I've never done anything like that in my life.I've had trouble before, but this time it's catastrophe.will die! I shook my head to Baisha and said: We can't touch this matter. You study it again.Bai Sha said: Tang Nuo, you are a genius.Every time you really want to do something, you have some weird idea to get it. I don't want to do this. Betha glared at me angrily. I got up to go out. Ren Jiatong shouted: Don't go, wait a minute.There must be a solution. I said: Why did you come here to find us, Mr. Ren? He said: Shannon is only willing to play this play with you alone. Shannon knows me?I asked. Someone pointed you out to her. when? When you're in the cocktail lounge. So Shannon was working as a waitress at the cocktail lounge? Yes. I said: We still can't do it. Bai Sha said: Mr. Ren, you go out for a walk.You go to the outside reception room and sit for five minutes, let me chat with Tang Nuo. I said to Baisha: It's useless.Betha, I Ren Jiatong stood up quickly, and I will come in five minutes later.He said that one side had gone out and closed the door. Baisha looked at me with angry eyes like a sword, 1,500 yuan is a good deal for a night of work, you just let him slip away!She said: Besides, I bet that woman is a slut.you white sha.I said: This is a hot murder case.We have been hired as a tool to misdirect the attention of the police and lead them astray.We left our little braids entirely in the hands of Beschanon alone.Anytime she told the police something, our licenses were revoked.Whatever you want, do you want a bartender to catch your pigtails and you can close the door anytime and go home to old rice? Baisha's small eyes blinked, she was thinking carefully. Why are you suddenly careful.She said: You often say that in this world, everything is worth trying once.Why can't this matter be tried once? I shook my head, this Ren Jiatong, I said: Maybe it is Gai Xiaoxiao's husband, but he is not a serious person, and he didn't tell us all the background, he just wanted to buy it with money. Bai Sha sighed, picked up the phone, and said to the operator: That Mr. Ren is waiting outside, tell him to come in. Ren Jiatong came in immediately when he heard the paging, looked at Baisha expectantly, saw her face, and then looked at me, with a pitiful look. He closed the door, slumped into a chair, and said: I know from your faces that you don't want to do it.Why won't you do me a favor? I said: because there is nothing we can do.Can't help, not unwilling. That's all right, Mr. Lai.He said: Tell you a big thing, no one knows about it, my wife doesn't have many days to live.I will probably accept an inheritance of nearly 20 million.Mr. Lai, please handle this matter for me, and I guarantee that your company will have endless high-end business in the future. Ke Baisha's body moved in the chair, and the chair creaked in protest.Baisha looked at me. I said: I will tell you how I do it, Mr. Ren.I will seriously study your offer again.If I do it, I will do it my way, not yours.We want to make it clear to everyone from the very beginning.According to what you said, you only ask that the police do not know that you are Pu Jiatong that night, right? Yes, I want them to think that they have found Pu Jiatong and his wife, and remove them from the negotiation list. As long as I do it, no matter how I do it, you're satisfied, aren't you? oh!Lai, he jumped up from the chair: You are the life-saving Bodhisattva!You have no idea how much this helped me, it was a close call. Have you mentioned this to Beschanon? have. Contacting her on the phone, I said: I want to talk to her. He took out a small phone book by himself, and Baisha picked up the phone and dialed the outside line first.Mr. Ren dialed the outside number with his stubby but perfectly manicured fingers. After a while, he said: Hello, is it Shannon?Guess who is right.Listen, I'm in the company of those two detectives right now.Lai Tangnuo wants to talk to you. He handed me the phone and I took it and I said, Hello, Shannon. Her voice was very cold, but it was very nice, hello, Tang Nuo. Do you understand the nature of the job that Ren Jiatong wants to give me? learn. Are you willing to follow the plan? And you, I do.I would never want to play this game with anyone.And you, I do. why i can I saw you a week ago.You had cocktails at my place with a young lady. Did you know who I was at that time? Someone pointed to me and told me to look at you, saying that you were Detective Lai Tangnuo. That's not good. why not? A detective needs no one to know him, and a detective should not stand out, and he doesn't want others to know who he is.He should be hiding behind the scenes. Tang Nuo, she said: You failed to do this, and I can't help but keep looking at you. Why? Because you acted like a gentleman. that point? The woman who is with you loves you dearly.You are a gentleman.You didn't, I don't understand.You take care of her, you are very good.You didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of her. You could have done whatever you wanted. So when someone asked me if I would act in a play with a private detective, I blurted out that there is only one private detective in the world I would act with and that is you.So Tang Nuo, don't get me wrong, we are just working, purely making money, nothing else at all, you know? Know.I said. There are two beds in that motel.Both beds will be occupied. You have to sleep in your own bed obediently and be a gentleman again. Do your best. Be good.Would you like to come to me and talk again? talk about what? game rules. Say a word or two and listen. Listen, Tang Nuo, I don't want to sit and talk for a night, and I don't want two people to argue all night.All activities, stop when I say stop, just like that, you understand? I try to comply.I said. Come alone!she says. See you later.I told her. I hung up the phone and looked at Ren Jiatong. I said: Give us two thousand yuan, plus all expenses, and I will represent you.Expenses will be quite high.Your purpose is that you are not just Pu Jiatong who showed up at the Kiss Hotel on the night of the murder.How I do it is none of your business.right? Completely correct. We write it down in black and white.I said.Turning to Bai Sha, I said again: Ask the typist to come in, type this sentence, and ask him to sign it. where are you going?Baisha asked. go out. I went to the door and said, "Baisha, I need cash for two thousand yuan." I could imagine Baisha's face was full of anger, but there was nothing wrong with that.
