Chapter 4 Chapter Four

The next morning, when I stepped into the office, Bu Aiqian said: Baisha was biting her nails, she almost bit off her fingers. What does she want? you. for what? The theft at yesterday's banquet. I thought she was going to handle this on her own.I smiled and said: Didn't the newspaper say that she was fully responsible? Bu Aiqian has always remained neutral in this kind of friction between partners, but this time she said solemnly: She didn't smell like this this morning. Well, I said: I'll go see her. I came to Baisha's private office, knocked on the glass on the door deliberately and politely before entering.

God!It's time to see you come to work.Baisha raised her voice and said. What's the matter again? The jerk bodhisattva and the blowgun. Are they messing with you again? We're going to bring them back to me. The surnamed Huangfu didn't want them to be recovered. I said: If they were recovered for him, he would have to return 9,000 yuan to the insurance company. He doesn't say that.He wants to get these things back. OK!Then get it back to him. Don't do this to me.Tell me, how can you get this kind of thing back if you lose it?Before you joined here, I was doing ordinary work, delivering official documents, keeping tabs on, and interviewing witnesses.

You can only make some small profits from grinding. Then you came to work for me, scurrying around like a weasel, and I kept feeling the state prison door was open for us. I looked at the big diamond ring on her finger. Baisha followed my gaze and knew what I was looking at.Suddenly she smiled and said: Alright, Tang Nuo.I also stopped putting on airs.Is there any way to do this without letting the police know? She pushed back her squeaky swivel chair.Standing up and walking around the office with her characteristic footwork, half swaying, half striding.He came upstairs with sixty-two guests.She said: Sixty-two, look, sixty-two guests, each with an invitation card.I checked each one.He said that everyone is reliable and would never do such a thing. However, we know that one of them took the Jade Buddha and the blowgun.He's going to get it back.

Tang Nuo, if you can't notify the police, what do you say?If you don't notify the police, you can't check pawnshops everywhere, and maybe this thing won't go to pawnshops.I think it's in a customer's private collection. Unless that blowgun couldn't get out, and it's still under someone's bed or in a closet.I said. But the truth is the opposite of what you think.She told me: I suggested to them that the blowgun had been hidden by one of the guests, and that they had scoured the penthouse this morning, every nook and cranny. There was an advertisement in the newspaper, and I said: Please contact the 420 mailbox for a reward for the person who accidentally takes two treasures out of the venue at a banquet invited by a famous person.

Baisha said to me angrily: Don't take this as a joke. I'm not kidding.I said. Baisha snorted. That's a reasonably good suggestion.I told her: If you think it's bad, you just don't do it. If I think it's not good!She yelled: You have a part in this too!You are the one responsible for getting this thing back.My work is done.You don't want me to be in charge of the whole partnership, do you? I raise my eyebrows. I went there yesterday and stood in front of this bastard's elevator with a sore foot, and looked at every bastard guest with a smile on my face, looking at their invitation, Catono, and don't repeat your boring routine.You are responsible for bringing these things back to me.Don't worry, I won't be idle either. When that damn secretary Ni Maowen calls again, I still need to tell him that I have already asked you to do this.

How wonderful, I said, leaning back in my chair and lighting a cigarette: Are you and Ni Maowen getting on well? Hating him to the extreme, Bai Sha said: He is a two-faced, pretentious, worthless, flattering dog. What about the camera? The one who took the photo, Bai Sha said: he is not bad, pretty good. Was he there last night too? Of course, he flew all over the place and took pictures of everyone. Is he a personal photographer? Depends on your definition of personal photographer.Huangfu asked for a photo.Whatever he does, he wants to be photographed. What was the excuse for the banquet yesterday?

He had just returned from a barbarian expedition.The photos I took back showed a woman walking with a basket on her head, and the woman was wearing nothing on her upper body.Huangfu Youtian stood beside the corpse of the big animal, with one foot on the belly of the dead animal, the shotgun in the crook of his arm, and a satisfied smirk on his face. You can't see it, can you? I didn't see it all.I guarded the bastard elevator on the 20th floor until all the guests arrived, and then I went to the 21st floor to guard the elevator exit.I can see people coming in and going out. Did anyone come up later?

two. Where did he go to explore and come back? Africa or Borneo somewhere.I never studied foreign geography well. Africa and Borneo are far apart.I told her. Your nonsense talk show is also far from finding those things.Baisha said. Is there any ceremony of presenting the flag and presenting the flag?I asked: Explorers Club or something? Oh, of course, Betha said: it's always inevitable.First they put on a movie where a guy takes a flag and leads a team in the wilderness, and they bring the flag back and give it to somebody, a lot of ceremony anyway. Who took the flag away again?

That whoever took the flag away.Yes. Do you know who that person is? God, no idea.He is a stupid guy who can see that he is flattering Huangfu Yoda.Manager of some fucking club. I stood up, stretched myself, yawned, and said to Baisha: I will do my best.You don't approve of the method of advertising in newspapers, do you? Get out, Baisha said: Otherwise, I will throw something at you. I went down and had a cup of coffee and bought a morning paper. Ni Maowen, a public relations expert, does things very neatly.The banquet at the Huangfu's family is written in style.There are two photos.One is Huangfu Youtian standing next to a rare animal, with one foot on its chest.Another photo shows Huangfu Youtian holding a banner of the International Goodwill Club.

The International Goodwill Club is an institution that promotes friendship through mutual understanding among different nations, cultures and customs. I went upstairs and returned to the office, and said to Bu Aiqian: What do you know about our data administrator? Yan Yihua?don't know much. How long has she been working with us? About six weeks. What did she think of Baisha? Scared her to death. What does she think of me? Why don't you ask her yourself?Elsie pretended to be noble and said: I am not a pimp.I am your secretary. Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking you because you're my secretary.I said: This is official business.

Who believes you.She said through her nose. Call her in.I told Elsie: in case she misunderstood too.When I talk to her later, I hope you'll be there too. She looked at me curiously and said: What is the matter? Call her in and you'll know.I didn't scare her to death, did I? Obviously not. Well, it's up to you to call her in. Ai Qian went out, and after a while she brought Yan Yihua in. I looked at Yan Yihua carefully.She is beautiful and curvy.Currently, because she is vigilant, she looks calm and demure all over her face to protect her.She was wearing a turtleneck, coat and skirt.The sweater is very tight. You want to see me, Mr. Lai? Yihua, please sit down, I invite her to sit down: I want to talk to you. She smiled at me naturally, her chest puffed up, and she also smiled at Elsie. Elsie, you sit too.I said: I want to ask Yi Hua some personal questions, I hope you can be present. Yihua wanted to say something, but changed his mind, and suddenly said: If a woman wants to answer your personal questions, it is best if no one else is present. I nodded to show that she was right.I said: I just wanted to meet the person who came here to take pictures that day.I might have to send someone to do some work on him. Oh Renan, she said.Add another sentence: His name is Bai Linan. How much do you know about him? real!Mr Lai.I hadn't seen him before the day before yesterday. I don't mean that.I mean how much do you know about him? He is nice. what does he do? He takes pictures. Did he tell you about his relationship with Huangfu? Oh, yes.He is traveling with Mr. Huangfu, and it is his responsibility to have a good photo record for the whole group.He was responsible for three things: black-and-white and color photos for books and records; color slides for lectures; and color movies for banquet entertainment. Did you attend the banquet last night? She made a face and said curtly: No. how come?I asked: I thought you and Li Nan went out. Who told you that? Forget it, Yihua.I said: don't be embarrassed.I'm a detective, you know that.I noticed that he finished taking pictures that day and wrote down your phone number in his little notebook. That's my address.She said: He promised to send me a photo after it was developed. He doesn't want to send it to the office? I want him to send me the apartment. Have you received it yet? No.Available tonight. I smiled and said: The postman is also off work, I think it is probably for delivery in person. She also laughed: Is there any crime? No no.I said: I just want to know more about Li Nan, you went out with him last night, and you will go out with him tonight. I didn't go out with him last night.She said: We were going to go out, but something unexpected happened, so he had to call me to cancel.He was going to figure out how to sneak me into a party, go to a movie he made, eat something and send me home.But something happened over there and he couldn't run away, and I didn't dare to let him sneak me in, because you know, someone is guarding the gate. Well, that's pretty much it.I said to her: This is the end of today's work. today's work?she asked emphatically. May I ask you what's going on tomorrow morning? tomorrow morning?What do you want to know tomorrow morning? Learn a little more about this guy.his job.I especially want to know how many photos he took at the banquet yesterday, and I want a copy of each one. Why? Because we are working for Mr. Huangfu.I must have these materials.I can also get it from Huangfu, but I'd rather get it from a photographer.I don't like to discuss the method of our work with the client. I only do two things with the client, give him the result and collect the check. She hesitated, and slowly stroked with the tip of her index finger along the fold line of the skirt at her crossed thighs. How about it?I asked. Can.she says. very good.I told her. what else?she asked. there is none left. She stood up, walked towards the door, stopped suddenly, turned to me and said: Mr. Lai, please understand one thing, I am not controlled by others to do things that are not good for others.If this matter is really beneficial to us and Li Nan, I will do it, but I have never betrayed my friends, and I will not in the future. No one is telling you to betray your friends, don't worry.I told her. Thanks.she said and walked out. Bu Aiqian looked at me and said: I think you know what you are doing! not yet.I told her: I was just running around trying to find my way. But you have to be careful with her.Ai Qian said: Road news, this baby has a lot of tricks, most of them are not serious. I'll keep an eye out, thanks for letting me know. She said: Not to tell you, but to warn you.
