Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Ke Baisha was waiting for us in front of the soul apartment in Santa Ana as promised. As we drove past, she got out of the car and strode across the sidewalk. She looked past Shanlou and said to me: Look!What good did you do again, you Take it easy, Baisha.Shanlou said: This guy may not have done anything bad. What!cried Baisha. I said it, Shanlou said: This case is much more complicated than it looks. Bai Sha said: Tell me yourself that Tang Nuo is doomed this time. I used to think so.Shanlou said: That's because there are still some things in the case that I haven't clarified.

Baisha looked at me angrily, then turned to Shanloudao: I'm not sure how to speak yellow accent. It doesn't matter if you have a yellow accent, as long as you catch up with the case and solve it.Shanlou said: At present, I am riding on the back of a tiger. I dare not get off, so I have to run with the tiger. What are we going to do? We're going to go into someone's apartment and have a look. Baisha said to me: It must be your suggestion again, a standard Lay Tangnuo-style anti-orthodox approach.God, every time I get a normal serious case like this one, investigating a business leak, you always mess him up and turn him into a corpse.Why don't I believe what Shanlou said, that you are killing people.

Shanlou strode towards the entrance of the apartment, Baisha followed, and I stayed behind. Shanlou found the manager, and he told the manager to take a look at Diane's apartment. The manager called the legal counsel and told Shanlou that unless there was a search warrant, there was no way. Shanlou was resentful and angry. He called the Santa Ana police chief, and the chief contacted the district attorney. When the commotion was raging, a taxi stopped at the door of the apartment, and Ling Peizhu got out of the car. The manager said: Miss Ling is here. Ling Peizhu looked at the group of people and said: What's going on?

We want to see your apartment.Shanlou said. Have a search warrant?she asked. I just asked them that.said the manager. Thank you.Ling Peizhu told the manager that a gust of wind passed through the crowd, walked into the elevator, and went upstairs. Shanlou desperately controlled his emotions. He thought about the situation and strode back to the sidewalk. Beside the car, he said to me: It's you!Little boy, you've dragged me into this situation again, and now I'm in the Santa Ana newspaper. Why don't you just go in and search her apartment? How dare I, the law clearly stipulates it.

Why don't you ask for a search warrant? There is not enough evidence. I said: Well, what do you do, it doesn't matter to me. You do not know, these recent laws and regulations.Shanlou said: They repeatedly took off the handcuffs from the hands of the criminals in the crime department, and handcuffed them to our policemen. We bound our hands and feet. Well, I said: you are the protagonist, I am not. Oh, I thought you were going to be the main character, that's what you suggested. You don't understand my suggestion at all. I've been doing what you want, I'm doing you a favor.

Baisha said: What shit rules, the police can't search other people's apartments. Actually, he can do it this time.I said to Baisha. What do you mean he can do it this time?Baisha asked. Of course, Shanlou said: If you succeed or fail, you are ready to lose your job. I explained it to Bai Sha like a ten-year-old child, and completely ignored Shan Lou.I said: This lady has admitted to perjury in Phoenix City, Phoenix City must have arrested her, and she must have paid bail to be released.The person who pays the bail is the person who must make her leave the jurisdiction of the law. She admitted that she lied in a murder case. She admitted that she was an accomplice after the murder. was arrested.Shanlou can't catch her outside of California, but this is a California jurisdiction.Once he arrested her, he went into her apartment.Once he's in her apartment, he's free to look around.You see, he has the right to do anything.

Shanlou said: Yes, I can do that!I can arrest her just because she is a suspect in the murder. I can't do it unless I'm released.I said: You can't have two suspects at the same time. Shanlou lowered his head and thought for a moment. Again: I said to Baisha: If Shanlou is smart enough, he can temporarily pretend that he has failed, drive the car away, turn around and stop at a place where he can observe the apartment gate. This woman made a big mistake in perjury in Phoenix City, and she had to spend money to come out.She must have chartered a plane to fly directly to Santa Ana, otherwise it would be impossible to get here so quickly after paying the bail, which would also cost money.I figured that within fifteen or twenty minutes she would come out of the apartment and cross the street to the mailbox across the street to post a letter.The purpose is to see if there is anyone guarding the door. If she thinks it is safe, a taxi will stop at the door of the apartment in five minutes.The woman would come out of the apartment and take a taxi to take her to the airport or some other place where Sun Mengsi would be waiting for her.

Why Sun Mengsi?Baisha asked. Because only Sun Mengsi is left to possibly get her out of Phoenix.I said. Baisha looked at me, her two small eyes were wide open, and her eyelids flapped twice.His grandma's.she says. I gave a huge yawn.However, Shanlou was very careful, he didn't want to take any chances, so instead of releasing me, he would take me back to Los Angeles, where I would speak to reporters. There's going to be a big uproar among the reporters, they've got the telex from Phoenix, and what do you think when I tell them about the Santa Ana embarrassment? It was you who suggested me to come to this place.Shanlou said.

I yawn again. Shanlou climbed into my rented car, and he said: Baisha, you come in too. Where are you going? I'm taking him back to L.A. Headquarters. Then I drive my own car.Baisha said. You can park your car here.Shanlou told her: Get in the car. Ke Baisha got into the back seat. Shanlou drove the car away, made two circles, and came back to park where he could see the door of the apartment and the mailbox opposite. After waiting for five minutes, Ling Peizhu came out from the door of the apartment with a letter in her hand, so obviously, we could see it clearly from a street and a half away.

She posted the letter, looked around indifferently, and went back to the apartment. After she returned to the apartment, Shanlou got out of the car like a bullet. He walked into a grocery store with a public phone booth, walked into the phone booth, dropped a coin and started dialing. Kebaisha said to me: You really can turn things upside down, you have ruined our detective agency forever.You messed up your own license, maybe you still have to accompany me.You make Shanlou hostile to us, you Shut up.I said. Who do you think you are, tell me to shut up!Bai Sha shouted. You heard what I said, and I told her: You have to swallow your own words.Talk less now, the throat can be smaller later.

you you Bai Sha stammered, stopping suddenly like a stroke. A taxi drove up to the door of Lingxin Apartment. Ling Peizhu must have been waiting inside the door, because the taxi stopped and the driver hurriedly got off and opened the door. Ling Peizhu took a suitcase and walked out with a handbag.The driver also put the suitcase into the car seat, waited for Ling Peizhu to get into the car, and closed the door.He walked around the rear of the car himself, stepped into the driver's seat, and drove the taxi away. I could see Ling Peizhu looking out the rear window of the car to see if there was a car following her. How did it happen?Baisha said: This bastard stupid police called and let her slip away. I said: He takes care of his work, we should worry about ourselves. You should worry about yourself and see how much trouble you have caused us. Baisha tried to get Shanlou's attention, trying to make gestures for him.He kept turning his back to us.Finally, he finally turned around and looked this way. Baisha made frantic gestures like calling for help, and pointed to the street. Shanlou may not have seen her.He turned back into the phone booth and made a few calls. After a while, Shanlou came out leisurely and got into the car with ease. Bai Sha was stuttering with anger.What's the matter with you?She said: God!Here Lai Tangnuo tells you what will happen like Zhuge Liang, and when you call, you are probably asking your superiors for instructions and watching this little hoof run away.Didn't you see my gesture? I saw it.Shanlou said. Well, Baisha said: You are arrogant and think it is fun.I tell you, that little bird flew out of the cage. Shanlou said: I also tell you that the little bird flew into the cage. What's the meaning?Baisha asked. I will explain later.Shanlou said. Baisha's face was swollen and purple.I said: Baisha, don't worry.Shanlou called the Santa Ana Police Department just now, and asked the police station to call the driver of the taxi company and ask him where the car to Lingxin Apartment was going.You can see that the taxis here all report by radio. Once the customer gets on the bus, he must first contact the company before driving.Shanlou will soon know that the taxi is going to the airport or somewhere else. His grandma's.Baisha said. Shanlou glanced at me: Smart! I yawn. Shanlou took out a cigar from his pocket, put it between his lips and began to bite with his teeth.After a while, he got out of the car, went into the phone booth to make a call, came back, and started the engine. where?I asked him. Since you are so smart, you reason and see, where did she go?Shanlou said. All right.I told him: it must be the nearest airport where private charter planes can land. Don't you think it's too obvious?Shanlou asked. Maybe, but it's the fastest way. However, by no means the best way.Shanlou said, showing his teeth. where to goI asked. Don't worry.He said. I sat on the back of the cushion as I drove past Santa Ana toward the Newport Embankment. Is he crazy?Baisha said. It makes sense, I told her: Sun Mengsi will meet Ling Peizhu on a private yacht in Xingang.She boarded the boat they claimed to set sail for Catalina, but went straight to Mexico on a small yacht for the weekend.They would marry and then it would be impossible for each other to testify against each other.Ling Peizhu really knows how to use her brain, and now Sun Mengsi can't do without marrying her. I must go back and get my car.Baisha said: They will issue a ticket, I parked in a time-limited parking area. You must be with us.Shanlou told her. Baisha, let me tell you, you need to calm down first.I said: I rented this car.We have to pay a dime a mile for the ones that Shanlou forced us to use. Betha popped out of the backseat and I thought she was going to snap the rear seat springs. What!she cried. Dimes per mile.I told her. Why you, why do you confiscate or confiscate Tang Nuo's things, who do you think you are?Baisha yelled at Shanlou. Shanlou paid attention to the lights ahead, and moved the cigar from one side of his mouth to the other without even turning his head. Baisha chattered non-stop for half a mile.In vain, he gritted his teeth and stopped. Shanlou took his time.We entered Newport with ease, and drove into the luxurious yacht club.Shanlou showed the ID to the gatekeeper, entered, and parked the car. A police officer was waiting for him.Here.He said. You two come together, but you are not allowed to talk.Shanlou said. We walked up to a private dock where an ocean-going twin-engine diesel yacht big enough to run was moored, guarded by a police officer on the gangway. The officer let us pass and we went down into a cabin. Sun Mengsi, Ling Peizhu and two other police officers sat around a table. Sun Mengsi's face was full of anger like ice. I think you caused this.He said when I walked in. I bow to him. Shanlou said: Let me speak.Sun Mengsi, I am in charge of this matter. I will make you lose your license.Sun Mengsi said to me: You deceived me and betrayed your employer.Being a two-headed snake, both parties in the case get money.you Shut up, Shanlou said: You hired these two people to find loopholes in your company for you.You didn't ask them to solve a murder for you. How do I know what he does?Sun Mengsi asked: I won't trust him. Shanlou turned to the police officer: Has he been searched? The officer nodded: he had nothing on him. What about this woman?Shanlou said. Ling Peizhu said: I am not this woman.I haven't been searched yet, I won't let you search, and my luggage won't let you search, I'm a woman, I won't let a lot of you men stretch out their paws and touch things here and there.You police like to fake public affairs for personal gain, take advantage of it and say it’s official business, I won’t do it.Don't talk about it unless there are policewomen around. Shanlou pointed at Baisha with her thumb.Appoint her as an agent.he said to the officer. The police officer smiled and said: What's her name? Ke Baisha. The police officer said: Ke Baisha, in the name of the law, I entrust you to help as a citizen; I appoint you as a female guardian to search this prisoner. Ling Peizhu's face turned pale.She stood up and said: How dare you!How dare you!I don't allow you to touch me!you can't Am I already appointed?Kebaisha asked. Yes.said the officer. Where is there an empty room?Baisha asked. The officer nodded toward a doorway: There's a cabin here. Betha said: Please, dear. fuck you.Ling Peizhu said. Bai Sha walked over, Ling Peizhu stretched her chest forward, stretched out her hands to grab her, and yelled threatening words. Baisha stood in front of her, stretched out a hand, hugged her waist, lifted her off the ground, and walked through the door, as if Ling Peizhu was a bag of groceries. Another officer comes in and leads Sun Mengsi out towards the pier. Shanlou sat down and grinned. The police officer grinned at him too. Shanlou gave me a thumbs up, and he said: Sit down, little one. We heard a sound behind the door; a bang, then a shrill, shivering cry.The hull vibrated, as if the entire yacht hit a solid wall, and the walls of the cabin protruded a little due to the heavy impact. Ten minutes later, Bai Sha came out, dragging Ling Peizhu along. Ling Peizhu looks like she came out of a meat grinder.Her hair was messed up, her shirt was torn, and there was a hole in her blouse. searched.Bai Sha clapped her hands and said. what did you find? Baisha threw a piece of paper on the table.It's hidden in her bra.she says. The officers jumped up and circled around to look. I didn't have a chance to read it, but after a while Shanlou nodded and said: That's it, this thing tells us the motive, this is Du Hanbo's will, and the entire inheritance is given to Ling Peizhu. When did it take effect?I asked. two years ago.Shanlou said. I said: This piece of paper is worthless, Du Hanbo has a son, and he also has a wife who is known but not officially married.This is a state where the law binds the unwritten marriage law, and he can't leave his property to other people without first disinheriting his wife. property. Ling Peizhu said: You self-righteous little bastard!what do you know?Take another look at the will, which was drafted by an expert lawyer.It is clearly written on it that anyone who claims to be a survivor or relative will be given one yuan each. I said: You can't accept a dime anyway.They will pin murder on you, and a murderer cannot receive an inheritance from the person he kills. Shanlou said: This will is useful to us, and the attempt to escape is also evidence of a crime. What are you going to do now?said the officer. Take them into custody, murder suspects.Shanlou said. You can't prove anything.Ling Peizhu said: I have had enough of your harassment, you are worthless, prudish, and a complete son of a bitch!you Baisha stretched out her big hand, grabbed her blouse, and twisted it tightly. Shut up, Baisha said: You are talking about my good brother, the police officer. Peizhu was already afraid of Baisha, so she really shut up. The two officers smiled at each other. Shanlou walked towards me.get out.He said. I was released? You are free as air.He said: You are a citizen, no one bothers you, you go away. I said: You can't do this, you are a police officer who enforces the law, and you were ordered to arrest me. I received a long-distance call to release you.Shanlou said: Why do you think I made so many phone calls in the phone booth besides investigating where the taxis were going? How is Baisha?I asked. Shanlou smiled and said: We need a tough cell leader to act as Qijie, otherwise she will say that we sexually harassed her all the way, and Baisha was officially appointed anyway. Is there a salary?Baisha asked. There is a temporary salary.Shanlou said: If the government has regulations, you have to go through the formalities and apply to the county. Don't worry.Baisha said: I will apply. Ling Peizhu desperately wanted to struggle for her current status.She wanted to say something, looked at Baisha's face, but didn't dare to speak, and fell silent. Let's search the yacht for any other incriminating evidence.Shanlou said: Mrs. Ke, please search the suitcase of the female prisoner, and we will be on our way after searching. He turned to me, pointed his thumb to the hatch: you go, little one. I go.
