Chapter 23 triangle game

If you walk west toward State Street from the First National Bank, you will pass the "Harrison Savings Company" in the middle of the next street.If you continue west, you come to the north side of the "Moore".The Moore was a large shopping center with seventy-one stores, including a North Branch of Public Trust. This is the busiest place in the city, and three financial institutions are located on these two streets. It was a rainy Thursday, and Sale robbed those three banks in just fifteen minutes right here.If it wasn't for Mei Li and Ge Yin, he could have escaped with the 43,000 yuan he robbed and some small change.

Searle's robbery plan was very cleverly arranged, and even going to the "Morningside" department store to see Ge Yin was an integral part of the plan.Ge Yin works as a sales lady at the make-up counter of this store. He got there at 11:40, and like many tall, handsome, unscrupulous young teenagers, he came into the store to buy lipstick or compacts or something like that for birthdays for his girlfriend and mother.His expression was a little embarrassed, but also a little eager. The eagerness was caused by Ge Yin, but the embarrassment was pure affectation.Ge Yin stood behind the counter, every bump of her beautiful body exuded seductive charm.

Ge Yin is a blonde girl with long curly hair and blue eyes, but reveals a greedy look. What is revealed in her eyes far exceeds her beauty and superficial innocence.Ge Yin is an ambitious girl, she is not satisfied with her meager salary, she wants to make a lot of money, but she doesn't care how to make it, that's why she agreed to Searle's robbery plan. Even so, in all respects, Ge Yin must have not found one of Serre's deficiencies that can be resisted. Any woman can resist his appearance?In fact, she told herself, she would be his mistress once Serre handed her the money.

When Serre came to the counter, she had no customers there, so the two of them could talk freely.Occasionally, Ge Yin would take out a small glass bottle with a chain from the samples of the perfume, and professionally shake it a few times under Serre's nose, so that those who saw it would know that she was just helping customers choose A suitable fragrance for girlfriend or mother. "Today, honey," Searle said to her, "it's today, rainy, at lunchtime, and the streets are full of people, and I'm going to try today." "Okay!" she said, "I'm tired of waiting. "

"Me too." He pushed back the hood of his waterproof jacket and pulled the zipper down a few inches. The jacket was so big that it almost reached his knees. "You want to steal a car like you said?" "It's better than that. I want to use Mei Li's car." "Mei Li's car!" "Of course." He looked at her surprised expression and asked mockingly, "Why not?" "Does she know what you're doing with her car?" He nodded, taking his head away from the perfume bottle. Ge Yin frowned: "Isn't that dangerous?"

"Not at all, hey, Ge Yin, I'm not hiding Meili from you. She's a real idiot, so stupid that she doesn't even know it's raining, but she loves me. Loves me, you understand? She would go through fire and water for me, she would do anything, just want to marry me.She thinks I will!He laughed, "How is it? Ge Yin, she doesn't even know my real name, but she thinks I'm going to marry her! When I met her at the bar two months ago, I was a complete stranger to her, But she loves me with all her heart. Do you know why? Ge Yin, Mei Li is very lonely, and the parrot says hello to her, and she will fall in love with it too!"

They both burst out laughing.Then, Ge Yin said seriously: "Whether she is stupid or not, Searle, once she finds out that you have left, she will still report." "She won't talk until Sunday night, because she's going to get married with me in Philadelphia on Sunday. We're going to be in Las Vegas before Sunday night, honey!" "Serre!" Ge Yin couldn't help laughing, "I really shouldn't treat her that way!" "Fuck her! She was fine before I met you, and now she's nothing but a dumb, jealous woman with a car so I can get away."

"What does she think of me?" Ge Yin asked, "Maybe she doesn't know me at all?" "Do you think I'm so stupid? She's so jealous, how can I mention it? She doesn't know you at all!" Ge Yin nodded.She asked Searle: "You can leave Mei Li in Philadelphia, how can I guarantee that you will not leave me in Las Vegas? Maybe you will run to a girl in Montreal." Searle snorted: "You are jealous Is it? Mei Li's jealousy, I've had enough. I still have the money for the plane ticket I gave you." "Here." She stroked her ample breasts, and Serge admired her gesture.

"This proves that I will meet you there, doesn't it? I gave you the money for the air ticket, but I didn't give Meili a penny. Let me tell you, she went to Philadelphia with her own money." Ge Yin asked : "Where do I meet you?" "The 'Blue Sky Motel' in Las Vegas. It's about Saturday night. I'll be there early Saturday afternoon, even if I'm on the way to get rid of Merry's car. When you get to the hotel, it's my wife, so to speak. Is it? I have already agreed." "Okay." Ge Yin said, "I will buy the ticket at noon today."

She took out another bottle of perfume for him to smell, and he lowered his head and sniffed, still pretending to be a customer.At this moment, a voice called her from the front of the shop: "Ge Yin", what's the matter? "Ge Yin was taken aback." Someone called and asked if we had any perfume from 'Kang Lu? ""No. Ge Yin replied loudly. Searle pushed her hand away and said, "Wish me luck, baby, and see you in Casino on Saturday night, okay?" ""OK. "Ge Yin was excited and said," Searle, get as much as possible. " He nodded, smiled at her, and said very loudly, "It's hard for me to decide. I think I'll have to ask her which perfume she likes best." He left the shop with a smile on his face. look, smug.Ge Yin stared at his back.

Serge walked through Ponte Acy Street in the rain to Merry's dilapidated apartment. Merry was a brunette with a Spanish accent that made her simplest sentences smack of magic.Searle thinks she looks like a Mexican.She was a night operator for the phone company, and as Serge told Ge Yin, she was probably the loneliest woman in the city...until one day before work, she met Sergey in a bar.Now, she's almost insanely happy that she's found a lover. She was looking forward to marrying him, even though he told her frankly that their marriage had to be built in a somewhat unorthodox way, that is, robbing a bank was not safe, but going to Philadelphia to marry Searle, for Mei Li Still irresistible.At five to twelve, she was dressed, made up, and radiantly ready for him when Sale rang her doorbell. "Sel!" she cried when she saw him.She pulled him into the bedroom, and when he lifted the hood off, she threw her arms around his neck and snuggled up to his shoulders. "Oh, it seems like a long time since last night!" she said, turning her head and looking back at him. I'm bored for a while." Searle, the car is ready, I sent it for inspection yesterday, the fuel tank is full, and it is ready to be a wedding car, and I will pick you up after driving you to Philadelphia. " Happy car!Searle chuckled to himself. "Great! It's today, Merry. It's raining non-stop. The streets are full of people with umbrellas and rain covers. The mall parking lot must be empty." "When do you want the car? Where do I park the car?" Mei Li spoke like a little woman who obeyed her orders.She snuggled up again. Searle looked at his watch: "Twelve-twenty-five at the latest. Get as close to the bedding store as possible, put the car in reverse on the side of the road, facing out, so I don't waste time turning the car around, and leave the engine on, okay?" " "Don't worry, I'll stay there, Sel, be careful. I can't breathe at the thought of your adventures." "It's all right, honey. Just a simple robbery, don't worry, I'll be in Philadelphia by Sunday night, we'll get married, and that'll be the high point of my life." "I don't know." Meili said suddenly unhappy, "I can't believe that you will definitely marry me. Every girl wants to get you by any means." "Hey!" Searle patted her hand. "You're saying you're bad again, Merry. I don't like that. I love you. So, forget about the other girls and wait for me in Philadelphia tomorrow night, okay?" "Have you been to Philadelphia before?" "Never." "Are you sure?" "Yes. Why?" "I just wonder if there are any girls you know there who might snatch you away." "No one will take me from you." He took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. "I love you, Searle," she said in innocent Spanish. "What would I do if you fell in love with someone else?" " Sale looked at his watch and said, "I have to go, do you have a bag?" "Of course." She took out three paper bags from the drawer, "Searle, please, be careful!" "I'll be careful. Remember, Sunday night in Philadelphia, you know where." "Greenwich Hotel, City Line Avenue, I'll be there when you get there, and I'll take a taxi tonight." "Okay," Sayre said, kissing her again. She looked up into his eyes, then kissed him back. "Don't worry about the car," she said dully, "it'll be there when you need it." He folded three paper bags, tucked them under his arm, zipped up his jacket and walked out of her apartment.He waved to Merry, who was watching him, with a gesture of loyalty and sincerity. When he hit the road, Merry put on her raincoat, walked to the parking lot, and started her three-year-old car.She drove toward the north side of the mall, hoping to find a parking spot in front of the bedding store.She was twenty minutes before Serre needed the car, plenty of time.The bank robbery went well. At the First National Bank, Searle walked calmly to the teller's window, where there were no customers waiting. He inserted a note he had written in advance through the small opening, and waited with a half smile on his face under the hood. , while the cashier was looking at the words on the note: "Stuff the bag with money, or I will kill you." The teller's eyes were wide with sudden terror, but with perfect smooth hands he took the money out of the drawer and stuffed it into the bag he had slipped it in. Searle knew the bank's instructions to its staff on how to treat robbers.The instructions they were given were all the same: Do as they were told calmly until the gangster leaves your counter, and then be a heroine, if necessary.But remember, we are insured.Searle also knew that with the touch of a camouflaged button, she could press the camera and take his picture, but how would anyone know who you were in a picture that only captured a bit of your face under the big hood? who? He took the paper tape and note that the teller had pushed him, politely said "Thank you, miss," and walked out of the bank.It took the cashier to ring the burglar alarm when he was on the sidewalk.Hundreds of people walked down State Street, some with umbrellas, raincoats, backpacks and shopping bags, and Searle squeezed into the crowd like a grain in the sand.Guards from the First Bank ran out into the street to see if they could catch up with the gangster, and Sale was already through the revolving doors of Harrison Savings. At the Harrison Savings Company, he repeated the previous routine until "Thank you, miss." " nickname. This time, when the burglar alarm rang, Searle had entered the "Northern Branch of Public Bank". He was calm as usual and consciously completed the robbery plan perfectly.As he strolled into the mall, he saw Merry's car parked in front of the bedding store at the agreed place, the engine still running, and through the smoky rain he could see faint exhaust coming out of the tailpipes. Come. He noticed again that the streets near the mall were crowded with people wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas.Two minutes later, he strode out of the mall, three paper bags full of money hidden in specially sewn pockets inside his large jacket. He got into Merry's car, without a single glance of suspicion, and drove up State Street, just as the sirens blared.He felt excited, proud, and happy, three emotions intertwined. He drove west to the interstate, from where he was out of town.He turned on his headlights, which are state mandates to keep them on when it's raining.His wipers swung solemnly back and forth. He drove serenely, avoiding the appearance of haste, and kept within the speed limit. He is like a good law-abiding citizen going to a legitimate business. That's why he was so surprised to find a police car parked behind him while waiting at a red light at the intersection of State Street and Amberson Street.It was a coincidence, of course, but it still disturbed him.He was even more disturbed when another patrol car pulled off Amberson Street.The car was parked in the middle of the intersection, in front of his car, and a great panic squeezed his heart. He saw immediately that he was trapped.He thought of slamming on the accelerator and crashing into the police car in front, but Mei Li's car couldn't withstand the collision, if it hit hard, it would be strange if it didn't fall apart, and it was too late for him to jump out of the car and escape. Two policemen jumped out of each of the two police cars, and they surrounded them with guns.When they sternly ordered him to get out of the car and put his hands on the roof, he did.What else can I do? In court, Merry testified that she was writing a deposit slip at the Northern Branch of Public Bank when she saw the man in a rain jacket and hood pushing a paper bag through the teller's window.She saw the teller's face was pale and flustered, and driven by curiosity, she watched carefully.At first she couldn't believe she was witnessing a robbery, which explained why she followed the man out before the bank robber's alarm bells rang.The man spied cars parked nearby and finally, to her horror, climbed into her car parked in front of the bedding store and drove off!Then, she was sure, yes, it was robbery! Yes, she admitted, she was careless before entering the bank and forgot to turn off the engine.But it was a rainy day, and she was going to go in only for a while.Yes, when the gangsters stole her car, she ran back to the bank right away.Then what did she do?She told the bank guard and called the police immediately that a bank robber who had just robbed the teller at window four and stole her car parked outside was on State Street, heading west.She reported the car model and license plate number, and of course, the robber was soon caught.Yes, that's right, the one sitting in the dock, no, she had never seen him before he robbed Public Bank. See, of course, this way, Searle is in jail.Her testimony didn't require it; the three pockets of bills under his jacket and the toy gun in the outer pocket would suffice.On the first day of his visit after he entered the federal penitentiary, Merry went to see him.She smiled foolishly at him, stroking his hand on the barbed wire that separated the two. She said, "Hi honey, long time no see, how are you here? I just want you to know that I'll wait for you and we can still get married when you come out." Searle felt his whole body trembling, and he said, "I don't want you to wait for me, Merry, I just want to ask you one thing." "What's the matter?" she asked.Although she knew what he was going to ask. "Tell me, why did you call the police? You said you love me, you are willing to marry me, and the bank robbery didn't make you flinch. You already knew about it." "I loved you, Searle, and I still love you," she said earnestly. "Then why did you betray me?" "Because I can't stand my fiancé loving another woman! That's it!" she said in innocent Spanish. "My God! How do you think I love other women!" "When you kissed me the other day, the shoulder blades of your jacket smelled of perfume. I guess it's Neil No. 5." Searle nodded, and he guessed so. "So I decided that you must be punished." Meili continued.Then she asked in an anxious voice: "Before you came to me that morning, you went to see another woman, didn't you?" "Yes." Searle said, "Her name is Ge Yin, and she works in a department store on Ponte Axi Street. She is in charge of the cosmetics counter. I promised her to go to Las Vegas to meet her with money." Merry's eyes were glazed and sickly for a moment before they burned with the rage that made her a true Spaniard? "You hypocrite!" Her voice choked up. "You have no conscience, you hypocrite." hypocrite!Yes, the only question gnawing at him right now was purely rational, Searle thought, but he wanted to know the real answer.Did Ge Yin spray some perfume on his shoulders on purpose to let Mei Li know that he has another woman? Because she knew that Meili was jealous, what actions might she take to punish him?Why would Ge Yin do this?Searle sighed.Unless she is also jealous and doesn't believe him.It must be so.He would be foolish enough to give her money, but he wanted Mei Li and Ge Yin to leave for a few days after the robbery. "Searle! Which one of us do you really want to see? I must know!" Poor lonely and jealous Merry, why would he tell her anything when she was doing him this way?Let her wonder.Searle stared at her through the wire mesh: "Break your heart out, baby. You'll never know." That was fine with Merry, too, because the truth was: when Sale got his money out of town, he wasn't going to Philadelphia or Las Vegas. He was going to Lareno, Texas.With the money, he can return to his hometown with the lover he met in middle school.Her name is Bai Na, and she is currently working as a waitress in a nightclub.
