Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Before Baisha regained her sanity, she reacted to the sound.The voice of speaking kept stimulating her, and she forced herself to understand the meaning of the voice first.Sleeping there, her head ached, Baisha heard "murder", and gradually she knew that murder was a conspiracy to kill. Suddenly, a burst of blood flowed through somewhere and opened the plug, she understood and understood. Bai Sha suddenly opened her eyes, and immediately pretended to close them again. Mi Shanlou, with a serious face, was talking with Mrs. Gu and Jialu.Apparently, police officer Mi arrived at the scene just now.Bai Sha decided to temporarily pretend to be in a coma, lest Officer Mi force her to explain everything immediately.

It was Jialu who was talking excitedly.She said: "... I was messing with my hair, and suddenly I saw the annual calendar on the wall. Something bent it. Police officer, even a blind person would see this kind of thing, it's so eye-catching. I looked over , and saw this thing poking out there. I thought it was a gun at first, then I saw a rolling eye. I yelled, Mom. As I yelled, the wrench fell into the room. Then Only then did I realize it wasn't a gun, but a screwdriver. The almanac had also fallen in its usual place. "Mum was in the kitchen feeding Mabel's cat. She came in to see what was going on. Thought I was crazy. That's because the calendar just went back to where it was when the screwdriver came off."

Mrs. Gu continued: "Dear daughter, why would I think you are crazy? But I know something terrible must have happened. Your face was pale with fright, and your eyes were staring blankly at the screwdriver on the ground, as if I'm looking at a poisonous snake that just bit you." " anyway , " jialu said , " i asked my mother to go to the garage to have a look immediately . someone was in the garage Ma'am—Of course, I didn't know at the time that it was Mrs. Ke who passed out on the ground. The man had a stick in his hand—it was white. It looked like a tin water pipe wrapped in paper. But at first I thought it was white paper A knife in the bag."

"What would that man do if he saw you?" Shan asked. "He looked up, saw us, waved the weapon in his hand threateningly, and walked towards us." "Did you see his face?" "No, it's dark in the garage, only the figure. I can tell you his figure, but I can't see his face. And Mom didn't see—" "Is it tall and thin or—" "No, he is of average height. I have an impression that he is very well dressed and a gentleman. I don't know where he made me think. Maybe the clothes fit well, maybe he doesn't move like a rough man, anyway. —I feel stupid myself for saying that.”

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Shanlou said, "Maybe your speech is very valuable. So what happens after that?" "That's about it, the man ran past us. Mom tried to stop him and got hit by him." "It hit me in the stomach." Mrs. Gu said angrily. "I object to what Jia Lu just said. This man is not like a gentleman. How can a gentleman beat a woman?" "Did he hit him with a fist?" Shanlou asked. "No." Mrs. Gu said angrily, "It seems to be mine with the end of the stick. I'm so scared to death, I don't know."

"What about after that?" Jia Lu said: "Then he passed the aisle and entered the house. I was afraid that my mother was really hurt. I thought he stabbed her. You know, I always thought it was a knife. I kept asking my mother if she was hurt. We Hear the sound of the back door slamming." "Did you go to the back and have a look?" "I was scared," said Mrs. Gu, "but I was even more angry. We rushed to the back door to see. He escaped through the kitchen. The cat was on the table with big round eyes and his tail was standing up." Get up, your body swells like a balloon."

"Does this cat behave like this to strangers?" "No. This cat is very friendly." Mrs. Gu said: "Later, I told Jialu that from the appearance of the cat, it seemed that the cat recognized that the cat raised all its fur and was really afraid. It The eyes are round and round, which is also an expression of fear." "It's as if this man is a big dog that chased him," Jia Lu said. "Okay, let's study it again, so as not to make a mistake." Shanlou said: "You, yell 'Mom'. Mrs. Ke immediately took off Qiyu. The calendar returned to its original position immediately, didn't it?" ?”

"Yes, and almost at the same time, I heard a 'bump!', as if something heavy fell to the ground in the garage, I was too scared at that time to analyze what the sound was, because I always thought The thing sticking out of the hole towards me is a pistol. Mrs. Cole really shouldn't have frightened me like that." "Well. After you chased to the back door and came back, you found that Mrs. Ke was not dead, but just knocked unconscious, so you called the police, didn't you?" "yes." "You say there are burglars in the house. Is that so?"

"yes." "You should say that there is violence here, and the police will come sooner." Shanlou said slightly reproachfully. "How do we know the speed of the police's work, and they were in a mess at the time. The two women were at home, terrified." "This is also true." Shanlou said. Ke Baisha knew now that she was sleeping on the same bed.She still closed her eyes, knowing in her heart: Jia Lu never mentioned that she had contacted Nan Qiaoqi by phone. Mrs. Gu said: "It seems that detectives are old-fashioned. They secretly dig a hole to peep into other people's private lives, but she treated us like this——"

Officer Zhi said: "I don't quite believe that she made this mouse hole." "Of course it's her. The height is just right for someone of her height to peek. From her point of view, it's just right." Shanlou said: "Drilling such a hole requires tools and time. There is also a firewall between the garage and the bedroom. Of course, the height of this hole can provide information on the height of the person who made the hole, but this hole must be located here. Behind the annual calendar is also one of the reasons why the hole is played at this height. I think this reason is more important than the height reason.”

"That's interesting! Anyway, it's a fact that Mrs. Ke is using this hole. What do you think we should do with Mrs. Ke? Should we take off her clothes? Jialu and I can take off her clothes to make her feel better. Should we call in a doctor?" "I'll call a doctor," Shanlou said, "but I'll take a look here first to learn more. If the doctor says she's not fit to move, how about here? Can she stay for a day or two?" "Of course, there is no problem. We have some inconvenience at present, that is, we have no servants at present. But we have no problem with her staying, and the fans will greet her. In fact, we like her straightforward character very much. Don't know why she doesn't like us. The last time we saw her we wanted her to be our witness, she was so surly. She seemed to think we should bribe her." "I know this best." Shanlou said: "Okay, please tell the police in the garage. I told them to go to the back door and take fingerprints on the handle of the back door. Don't touch the back door again. In fact .You better not touch anywhere in the house." Ke Baisha closed her eyes and slept there.I heard their movement and heard the door close gently.Mi Shanlou said, "Bai Sha, how is it? Does your head still hurt?" Baisha felt that this was a trap.She kept her body very still.Mi Shanlou came over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Baisha, don't play tricks like this! Sooner or later you have to face the reality, it's better to meet your in-laws sooner." Bai Sha remained silent. "I'm not stupid." Shanlou said a little unhappy: "I keep looking at your changes in the mirror. I see you open your eyes and then close them quickly. Of course I know, it's because you are afraid See my face." Bai Sha said: "Damn it! Save me some face, I will die!" She opened her eyes and pressed her hand to her head, feeling something sticky in her hair. "Is it blood?" she asked. Shanlou grinned and said, "Grease stains on the garage floor. You're such a mess now." Baisha looked around.She is in the maid's room.Sleeping on the maid's bed.She struggled to sit up.At first the room was spinning, but she got better after sitting up straight. "How do you feel?" Shanlou asked. "Excellent. How do I look?" Shanlou pointed to a dressing table.Bai Sha turned her head and saw her own appearance in the mirror.A lot of oily semi-fluid stuck to the hair, and it collapsed on the head in pieces.There is a greasy smell on the left side of the beard.The eyes are fixed, a little white. "God!" Baisha said. "exactly." Bai Sha turned to him. "Okay, how about it?" Officer Mi had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, Baisha, I think you've lost your way." "how come?" "I know you are hiding something from me." Shanlou said: "I don't know what you are hiding or how serious it is. I have no way to ask Bei Fude to confess. Therefore, I must shift the focus to you Come on me. I know it's no use getting a confession from you. So I called your office and told the officer who was watching you to have a drink with you. Tell you he's a drunk sometimes, tell him to play a game with you. Let's see what tricks you can do. In fact, as soon as you leave the door of the office building, someone will follow you." "It's unreasonable!" Baisha said: "I wasted my best whiskey to entertain that orangutan, and now you tell me this is a show you arranged! This bottle--" Baisha was so angry that she couldn't even speak Out. Officer Mi had a smile on his lips. "Exactly, Betha." "You bastard! That's a good bottle of wine. I use it to entertain customers who are willing to pay money." "Jac said the same thing, he said it was the best job I've given him in 10 years." Baisha searched her brains to find some words to scold Mi Shanlou, but Shanlou said first: "I sent two people to wait in front of your building to follow you." His face darkened. "The damn thing is, you dumped them. These two are now going back to work as traffic policemen and doing Tai Chi in the middle of the road." Bai Sha said: "It's not fair, they are quite sophisticated. I didn't even know that someone was following me. I was just careful along the way." "I'm sure you're careful! They said you were like a flea on a hot pan, and finally got rid of them. Well! What did you find when you got here?" Baisha said: "I tell you, you won't believe it." "Not necessarily." Shanlou said, "at least I don't believe that you drilled this hole. Besides, I believe that this hole is drilled from the bedroom to the garage. If you drilled it, you would drill in from the garage, no would come out of the bedroom—" The doorbell rings, and Officer Mi stops him from speaking.He listened to the excited woman's voice, and continued patiently: "Baisha, you must tell me about Mrs. Bei's dentures, and how this pair of dental bridges came into your hands. The dentures were not in the corpse's mouth. It's not an important clue, but it's a relevant clue. But the dentures are in your office, found in Mrs. Bei's glasses case. Now, we need to know, where did you get the dentures? here." "What if I don't tell you?" "That's too bad for you, Betha. You got involved in the murder yourself. If it turns out that you had evidence in a murder and you didn't turn it in to the police, you're really going to be in trouble. Guaranteed to be worse." "What if I tell you?" Mi Shanlou said: "That's the difficulty. Baisha, you're going to be in trouble anyway. You can't have evidence of a murder and not tell the police. You have always had this problem recently. Lai Tangnuo has done it a few times, but let him do it seven times." Ba Nong jumped over. He relied on luck! Sooner or later you will be unlucky. You see, you also want to use his strategy, didn’t you fall with a black nose and a bruised face? You are exactly like this now.” Baisha said stubbornly: "Well, since I can't keep my license to eat no matter whether I say it or not, I won't open my mouth. Let's see what you do to me?" "There is a possibility that I haven't told you yet," Shanlou said bitterly, "Tell me, I think you still have a little reason. I will revoke your license, but I won't deprive you of your freedom. But you don't say it." , we locked you up; prosecuting you as an after-the-fact accomplice." Bai Sha said: "I think the dentures are evidence, but I don't know what to prove, so I just want to find out." Mi Shanlou said: "I agree with you, Bai Sha. I also want to find out." The bedroom door opened suddenly.Mrs. Gu stood at the door, and she said to the police building, "Sorry to bother you, it's great to see Mrs. Ke awake. But we are so happy——Jialu has found her real biological mother. Come on. I'll give Introduce yourself. This is Mrs. Kong, and this is Police Officer Mi—this one," she quickly added, "Mrs. Ke." "Officer Mi, hello. Oh, Mrs. Ke, we met. Sorry, I heard you are not feeling well." Mrs. Kong herself seemed very comfortable and confident.Baisha sat on the edge of the bed, her oily and wet hair slumped to Sheng's side.She fanned her eyelids to look at Mrs. Kong, but she asked Jialu, "So. You took the initiative to find her, Luo?" "No," Mrs. Gu replied: "Mrs. Kong has been trying to find her daughter. Of course, she gave up the adoption before. Then this case happened, and she reported it in her own newspaper. I don't know what she thinks Jialu is. It's the lost daughter. She came here and rang the bell. I recognized her right away. I've seen her before. Of course, now that Jialu is older and has two mothers, it doesn't matter—" Mrs. Gu deflated She pursed her lips, shrugged at the police officer and Mrs. Ke, and spread her hands. Bai Sha suddenly yelled at Zhu Lu: "Why didn't you tell Officer Mi all this time, you called Mr. Nan Qiaoqi?" "Because it has nothing to do with this case." Jia Lu said solemnly: "I just called Mr. Nan and asked if he and Mr. Bei's civil lawsuit can be studied again. Mrs. Ke, this Was it connected to what happened in the garage?" Mrs. Kong said, "Unfortunately, I probably didn't pick the right time for my visit! I'm so sorry, but—" "I just hope that with the latest developments here, police officer Mi can also get into the situation." Mrs. Gu said, looking at what police officer Mi said. Mi Shanlou nodded. "I don't think there's much connection between the two. It's just—" "His grandma's!" Bai Sha blurted out suddenly.He jumped up from the bed and stood on the ground. "What's the matter?" Mrs. Gu asked with concern. "What's the matter!" Baisha cried, "I'll show you what's the matter." She went to the door, slammed it shut, and fastened the bolt. Mrs. Kong asked: "What does this mean?" "I'll tell you what it means!" said Betha; "in fact, I can tell you what to do. You can sneak up behind me, hit me on the head with a stick, and slip away. But, This time is different, as long as you move, I will show you how fierce I am, and promise to tear you apart until no one can put you back together." Mrs. Gu said to Officer Mi: "You represent the law. How can you stand here and allow this to happen?" Mi Shanlou bared his teeth, fearing that the world would not be chaotic and said: "Of course I will not prevent this from happening." Jia Lu said implicitly: "The sudden jump on the head must have confused her. Mrs. Ke, you are looking for trouble with someone who doesn't want to do anything." Ke Baisha yelled at Jialu. "Shut up. You saw the almanac moving on the wall long before you screamed. I heard you talking to someone before I could see what was going on in the bedroom. It must be You tell your mother to go out and blow my head out. Then you make a man do something. Your phone call with Nan Qiaoqi is just a fake, of course, the purpose is to distract me and concentrate on listening How did you contact Nan Qiaoqi. That's why you asked 104 to let me know who you want to call. To lure me to stay in the old place and let your mother call me—" Mrs. Gu said, "I'll sue you for your yellow accent. I've never been so insulted in my life. I—" "Stop doing this!" Bai Sha said, "If I didn't hit you, I would blame myself. When I say Jialu's mother, I mean my own mother, who was pregnant in October." Mrs. Kong tilted her head back and laughed out loud, "5 minutes ago, I really haven't seen Jialu for more than 10 years. The last time I saw her, she was still wearing diapers." Baisha said: "I'm not as smart as Lai Tangnuo in this respect, but I can still be a detective if I can't come up with an opinion? Mrs. Gu knows you very well, and you have always known Mrs. Gu. Gu My wife just doesn't want Jialu to know about this relationship. Mrs. Gu put a limit on you and forbids you to get close to Jialu. But things changed suddenly. You came here with an excuse that you didn't contact me beforehand and didn't ring the doorbell suddenly. Come to the house. Hey! If you don’t contact me about this kind of thing, if you come to the door and ring the bell, ghosts will not believe it. I don’t know if you went to find Jialu or Jialu finally found you. Most likely Jialu found you Yes—because you must have an agreement that you can’t go to Jialu. If I had to guess, Mrs. Gu must have something against you. If you go to Jialu, Mrs. Gu will prove some of your scandals Show it to Jia Lu with evidence. These evidences must be hidden somewhere in the house in a box. Our naughty and dear Jia Lu was eager to know who her mother was, so I found this Because she was looking for something, she must have secretly assigned the key to Mabel’s bedroom. Knowing that this Mrs. Kong is her biological mother, she was of course anxious to find her. Mrs. Kong was afraid that her daughter would know that her biological mother had been in prison—maybe— Once she is a daughter, she doesn't care at all. You know, Jialu knows that Mrs. Bei has a will and all property goes to Bei Fude, so Mrs. Gu must go bankrupt. We are fake compassion and moralists. We are used to spending money and see money. Open Jialu, will not be willing to give up like this." "What the hell are you talking about?" Jia Lu said sarcastically, "But I don't want to stop you, just say what you want. I'll ask you again after you finish talking. How much can you prove?" Ke Baisha asked Officer Mi. "Do I still have a reason?" "You talk about yourself, Baisha. It's you who stretched your neck out as much as possible. After you publish the complete article, you will need a lot of lawyers to fight civil defamation lawsuits for you. However, I personally Speaking of which, I am a listener who appreciates your talent." Bai Sha said: "Jia Lu burned the will." "It was burned in the fireplace in Beifude's office." Bai Sha said: "And, when she did this, I happened to be there. Besides, Officer Mi, you happened to be there yourself." "Something happened to be burning in the fireplace. When I rushed to unravel Pengjunmeng's trick, there happened to be some documents burning in the fireplace. There was a great chaos at that time. Everyone was watching Yinmeng. Jialu came in and said I didn’t see anyone outside, so I came in by myself. You should remember that she moved her position, and at one point she was facing the fireplace. At the same time, a new flame was burning in the fireplace.” "That's right, Baisha, I also noticed this at the time, but I didn't think about it again." Shanlou shouted. "Blood spewing fire, there's no such thing," Jia Lu shouted. Baisha said: "Now I know everything. When she found the documents about her biological mother, she also found Haibao's will. The will said that all property was bequeathed to her husband. If Meibao did not have a will, it has been notarized. May Bao’s private property may be divided into two parts. One half goes to the husband, and the other half goes to the mother. But with this will, the husband gets all the inheritance. I guess Bei Fude must know that there is such a will, which is a matter of course. Therefore, we What will the sweet little Jialu do... No problem, she asked her mother to help with it, she got the will, and dug up the name of Bei Fude on the will, just in case the handwriting expert will really be amazing in the future After extracting all the original texts, she took the will with her and wanted to burn it in a place where Beifude would be burned unjustly in the future. This is the original intention of her coming to the office. I didn't expect everything to be so good to her. Favorably, there is a fire in the fireplace, and each of us is concentrating on Peng Junmeng. Jialu moves her back to the fireplace, throws down the will, and waits for the right time to say that Haibao will have a Zhang made a will and left the money to Mrs. Gu. After that, it was all Mrs. Gu's play. They hired a handwriting expert to go to the Northford office to get the ashes out and take pictures. The experts really lived up to expectations and had a way to prove the top of the ashes One page, it is indeed Bei Meibao’s will. He has no way to reproduce the regulations in the will, even if he can, the beneficiary of the will still cannot be named, because our smart Jialu has done a good job of prevention.” Jia Lu said, "Mom, I have no reason to stay here and listen to this crazy woman's nonsense." "Of course not." Mrs. Kong continued; "In my opinion, this woman is indeed crazy." Mi Shanlou, whose mind was completely occupied by something, absently took out a cigar from his vest pocket.He took out a match from the lower pocket of his vest.He bit off the butt of the cigar with his mouth. "I thought Betha was crazy, too," he admitted, "but then she talked about Galo throwing the will into the fireplace with her back on her back. Good God, it wasn't wrong at all. I remember clearly, behind her back Well, there was a new flame rising. I thought her skirt was on fire, and I was thinking I was unlucky, because when everyone was waiting for the showdown, I didn't want a little surprise to turn everyone's attention. Jia Lou, what was that thing you threw into the fireplace?" "No! I think you are crazy too." Shanlou said: "That's right. I know you threw something into the fireplace. If you have any reasonable explanation, tell me, I will believe it. But if you insist that you didn't throw something into it—— " "Oh! I remember." Jialu said: "I have a letter in my hand, a flyer for advertising, and when I walked into the office, I saw a fire in the fireplace. I almost put this It's all forgotten." Mi Shanlou bared his teeth from the green smoke he spit out, and smiled at Jialu: "Whoever said you are smart, you fell for me. Sister, did you admit to throwing the advertisement into the fireplace?" "Yes, but even the envelope, I—" "Then why did your handwriting experts say that the last document burned was the will? Your advertising letter should be on top!" "Me!" Jialu was afraid and couldn't say anything. She turned around, not to look at Mrs. Gu, but at her biological mother, Mrs. Kong. Mrs. Kong was very stable and said with dignity: "My dear daughter, I will not argue with them. It is obvious that the officials are targeting this woman, so we will sue her for slander, and we will not take advantage of it at present. The correct way is that we You should go to a lawyer immediately, and let the lawyer decide how to sue Mrs. Ko. I know a lawyer who likes to take this kind of case. We will go now. If you call, tell the lady immediately." Officer Mi Shanlou looked at Mrs. Kong with admiration. "Avoid the important and take the light, talk about him from left to right," he said, "Your skills are pretty good! I can understand you too. The purpose of your talking so much is to tell my precious daughter not to speak too much until she sees a lawyer." "Before you see a lawyer, don't sue others for defamation." Mrs. Kong said gently. "The purpose is the same, to see a lawyer first." Shanlou insisted. "How about not seeing a lawyer? Sit here and listen to you insulting us?" "No need." Police Officer Mi declared decisively: "I want you all to go to the District Prosecutor's Office to take notes. Is there any objection to leaving immediately?" "Of course I don't. Never in my life have I heard of such high-handed tactics." "I also object." Mrs. Gu said, "We need to see a lawyer first—" Officer Mi didn't even look at them, but looked at Bai Sha with a frown. "It's been a tough murder case," he said. "Is there anything else you can do?" "The hole in the wall," Baisha said, "goes from the bedroom to the garage. The calendar is also hung from this hole. At first I thought the hole was for peeping, but now it seems that this hole is different. There is one other major use." "What?" Shanlou asked. "I can't compare to Tang Nuo." Bai Sha said apologetically, "But—" "I know that," said the hard police officer, "but you are unparalleled in your cuteness. Tell me what you think of the hole in the bedroom wall." Baisha smiled at him contentedly. "I'm not a mechanic. I'm not built to get down on the ground and examine the evidence. But you'd better look at the tailpipe of Mrs. North's car for any fresh scratches on the outside. "When the woman I was following came out of the house, the cat in her hand was wagging its tail. A cat doesn't do that doggy thing when it's going out for a drive with someone it likes. The cat is angry. It only raised its tail and shook it when I was stalking. If I was following Mrs. Bei, why didn’t the cat suffocate? The cat should be locked in the garage, just like Mrs. Bei! "Let me tell you, Mrs. Bei died before I came here to follow Mrs. Bei—so, this hole in the wall becomes very, very important. You should think about it yourself." Shanlou frowned, "It's unreasonable, Baisha, this time I'm going to let you off the hook again. Regarding your 'violation of the police', I have the right to exonerate you." Baisha let out a long sigh. "Don't think that I don't appreciate you. I already knew that your face is disgusting and kind, and you are still human."
