Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

We buckled up our seat belts, and Shanlou said, "Lai, you figure it out, I won't believe any of your reasoning without evidence, I won't believe anything." Then don't believe it. The pilot takes the plane to the takeoff position, refuels the engines, and tests the thrust. Shanlou said: What do you think the truth is? I'm afraid you'll believe my unsubstantiated reasoning.I said: It's better not to speak. The pilot accelerated the plane, and suddenly everyone leaned against the back of the seat, and the plane rose into the sky with huge thrust.A short while later, the fasten seat belt sign went off.

You don't have to be so cunning, I'm sorry for punching you just now, I'm angry.He said. You have no reason to be angry. I know, Lai.Good cops shouldn't get carried away, I tell you I'm sorry, goddamn it, I'm sorry.If you are still so stubborn, I will stand still and let you punch me back. Well, I said: You're sorry I got it. Well, little one, what do you think happened. I said: There is only one possibility, but I won't tell you. Well, you don't tell me.You practice talking, I don't want to listen. I don't say anything, you take me back to Los Angeles, the reporter will wait for our plane at the airport, you can tell them that you brought the murderer back.Then Hao Helen would accuse Sun Mengsi of being a voyeur, Ling Peizhu would admit that she was perjury, and someone's face would turn red with embarrassment, but it wasn't me anyway.

Shanlou sat angry and didn't make a sound. I stop. He said: Let's go on. Why should I go on.I told him: I am retaliating for the punch you punched me, you hurt me, now you have to pay the consequences, you have to go back to Los Angeles, Helen Hao and her lawyer will notify all the reporters in Los Angeles.Besides, the reporters in Phoenix now know the result of the extradition from Secretary Fei's office.They will send a telex to all journalists in the east and west. The Los Angeles journalists will think it is big news. When we go to the ground, there will be a lot of excitement. What do you do at that time? They will ask questions, and I really want to hear your answer.Your eggs are born by yourself, and you hatch them yourself.I'm just watching. I will be handcuffed with you. If you don't send me to prison, you won't be able to throw me off.

Tang Nuo, as I said before, I'm sorry for punching you. I'm still in pain. What do you want me to do?He said angrily: Kiss you like an old mother? That's not necessary.I said: As long as I see you standing on the red carpet of the press conference, I will be satisfied.They will have a lot of people, cameras, flashes, tape recorders, video recorders, and then you will give a speech.When you finish, maybe I'll make a comment too. screw you.He said: You are not allowed to speak. In this case, the reporter will think that this is a big case, and you will not cooperate with them.Journalists don't like this. Some reporters will post it for you. Officer Mi himself was arrested in Phoenix because of his brutal behavior. Now he is out on bail with 2,000 cash, but the prisoner is still not allowed to speak.And they'll say, Mamose, a famous attorney in Phoenix guaranteed that Officer Mi would stand trial for grievous assault for beating a sitting man in an apartment kitchen, banging his head against the wall, Caused him to faint and concussion.Lawyer Mai was also entrusted to demand 50,000 yuan in civil compensation for this matter, anyway, you can figure it out yourself.

I moved to make myself more comfortable, yawned, and closed my eyes. You bastard, Shanlou said: If you really fall asleep, I want you to look good. I said: If you dare to put another pinky finger on me, Mamose will ask for your badge. Tang Nuo, what will happen to the two of us with this attitude? There will be results to Los Angeles.I said: This is where I want to go too, you said you wouldn't believe reasoning without evidence, so If it sounded right, I might believe it.Shanlou said. No, I told him: You won't listen, you take me back to Los Angeles, I will hire another lawyer in Los Angeles, and I will tell him during the interview.Then Claire solves a murder, and you're on the red carpet giving a press release.

I'm not going to give any news to reporters.Shanlou said. I laughed at him. what's so funny? Don't forget, through the telegram and the matter in Secretary Fei's office, Los Angeles reporters all knew about it, and they are now digging for this story. I closed my eyes again. Shanlou said: I don't have to take you to Los Angeles. I have waived my right to extradite.I am now under arrest.I said. Who cares what I do.Shan Lou said: I believe you have a rental car in Palm Springs. Of course, I said: I will ask Baisha to return it. I yawned loudly again, leaned back deeply in the chair, and closed my eyes.

I felt that Shanlou was studying the whole situation, and I secretly looked at him from the corner of my eyes. Shanlou frowned tightly, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if to strengthen his thinking with silent words. Not long after, the flight attendant was announcing that we were almost in Palm Springs and it was time to buckle up again.Shanlou touched me with her elbow not too lightly: "Okay, little one, wake up." What's the matter?I asked pretending to be sleepy. I will not give you the opportunity to speak to the Los Angeles reporter. why not? We disembark in Palm Springs.

It doesn't do you any good either, I said: Once the plane arrives in Los Angeles, but you're not on board, the reporter will ask the flight attendant where you got off the plane, and then they'll really start to cast a net. Let them do the cloth.Shanlou said: Come on, let's get off the plane. We got off the plane in Palm Springs. You have a car here.Shanlou said: It is rented, where is it parked. Airport. where is the key Under the rubber pad on the underbody. Shanlou told me to take him to the car, find the keys, and start the car. where are we going?I asked. Let's use my method to go back to the headquarters.Shanlou said.

I'll pay a dime for every mile the car goes.I said. What a shame.Shanlou said: If you don’t cooperate with me, I won’t cooperate with you, you know? You may have forgotten.I told him: I also have my rights, you should take me to the nearest and most convenient sheriff. What are you shouting about?I did not hear. as you like.I said: After Attorney Mai repairs you, you really won't be able to hear it. You have to know, Shanlou said: this Mamothy is too uncooperative. He is still very cooperative with me. What would you say if I set you free?Let you be free, go wherever you want, I don't care about you anymore.

You can't set me free.I told him: You are an official upholding the law, and I am the prisoner you arrested. I can make you escape. I don't want to run away. Well, what the hell do you want, kid? I am officially released.I said: I will defend my reputation, and then Kebaisha and I will solve the murder. This time we will not let any policeman get the reputation for us, we will claim the reputation ourselves. Shanlou clenched his upper and lower teeth, and I could see the muscles on both sides of his jaw twitching. After a while, he took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and bit the butt of the cigar without lighting it.

We drove towards the mountain along the Palm Highway. Perhaps Shanlou thought it would be more reliable to take this road. If the reporter wanted to intercept it, he would not think of this road first. You can't detect anything.He said: The murder case has been solved anyway, I know who killed Du Hanbo. Really?I asked: How can you prove it? Ling Peizhu will tell.He said. Ling Peizhu is an accomplice.I told him: You cannot convict Sun Mengsi on the basis of an indeterminate confession of an accomplice. We still have that gun. Of course, I said: You have that gun, that is the evidence you used against me, and now you are using it against Sun Mengsi, Ling Peizhu has been to the apartment, why can't she put it in there? One word reminded Shanlou that it is really possible!He said. I didn't say anything, I told him: This time, Ke Baisha and I will fight for success in solving this case. You don't get any evidence that the police don't.Shanlou said. correct.I told him: I can't get the evidence that the police can't get, but the police didn't look in the right direction, but I looked in the right direction first. Lai, you should give me a chance in this matter, you know as well as I do that it's no good for you to solve a murder.No one will pay you, no one will hire you to solve a murder case, and besides, Betha won't listen to you, she will give me a chance. If she knew you punched me, she wouldn't.I said. oh!never mind! Nevermind, I'm still in pain. I can make you hurt more, little bastard, you can't solve any cases, if you don't cooperate, I'll drive your goddam car all the way down Southern California until the case is solved, and you pay your bills Well, a dime a mile, when the time comes, Baisha will naturally tear you to pieces when she sees the car bill, I think it looks good. It doesn't matter, I said: After Attorney Mai repairs you in Phoenix, I can also sue for civil compensation here. You can't sue for banknotes.Shanlou said: I am a policeman, and I have nothing but a salary. Your car is worth more than I want you to pay.I said: I will drive your car in the future. You are such an entangled bastard, Shanlou said: That's fine, let's not talk about business affairs, let's talk about personal relationships. Personal friends, personal friends were already beaten away when you punched them down. OK OK.Shanlou said: I am convinced, little one, just tell me, what do you want me to do to suit you. I'll give you a clue, are you willing to chase it? what clue? A clue that could solve the murder. Okay, okay, go ahead. I said: We will get off at the first place with a telephone, and we will ask Baisha to meet us in Santa Ana, we will go to Lingxin Apartment, and we will search the apartment rented by Ling Peizhu under Di Anne’s name, hoping to find evidence of the crime , letters or other evidence. Impossible.Shanlou said. All right!I said: If you insist, you can play your game. There was a service station a mile away, Shanlou was thinking about it for a mile, and suddenly he turned into the service station and took out his badge.I want to use your phone.He said: business. Ten minutes later, he was back in the car.alright.He said: "Birtha will meet us, we don't have a search warrant. I said: After what she said and did in Phoenix, your position is enough, drive faster, we can catch up. We have plenty of time.Shanlou said. It's hard to deal with this woman.I told him. Shanlou stepped on the gas pedal with his foot.Well, wise man.He said: I trust you, I swear I've never trusted you, but this time I trust you, sit down, we're in a hurry.
