Luo Tuo and Chang Laoyao arrived in Mexico City as tourists. The four-year "International Expo" is very lively, and there are tourists from all countries.The hostels and hotels in Mexico City all declared that they were fully booked, and some tourists had already booked their hotel rooms more than a month ago. The youngest Chang had the foresight to book a deluxe room for Luo Tuo in a tourist hotel called "Luxury Hotel".The youngest Chang and Lin Bianshui had a tacit understanding in advance, and all the expenses were paid by Lin Bianshui, so it's okay to be extravagant.

Arriving at the hotel, Luo Tuo first dismissed Lin Miao, complained to Chang Laoyao, and blamed Chang Laoyao for making such a deal. With his reputation, if he refused, it would damage his prestige, but why? This kind of case must be very difficult. The youngest Chang said: "You have never been idle, you must think about moving when you are quiet. This kind of case is elegant and interesting. I think Brother Luo will be interested! At the same time, my brother and I have had bad luck in the past few years. I have never been complacent, but with Brother Luo's wisdom, he will definitely be able to overcome many difficulties, and if he succeeds immediately, he will be doing his brother a big favor! Kill two birds with one stone, I believe that Brother Luo will definitely gain something, and my younger brother can also pick up some side."

The camel said: "If I fail, won't my reputation in the rivers and lakes for decades be wiped out?" The youngest Chang laughed and said, "Brother Luo's wisdom means that a person has three heads. How could he fail?" "It's hard to say, 'If a man misses, a horse stumbles.' It might just fall on this case!" "Don't be discouraged, brother Luo has never failed in his life!" said the youngest Chang. "However, the upstart Lin Bianshui should deal with him!" "What are your plans?" "Lin Bianshui and I bet 100,000 dollars, but we didn't say in advance, who will own the pearl shirt and dragon ball hat after we get them? We will definitely have to bargain at that time, and I want to get double benefits!"

The youngest Chang laughed and said: "My interest is in the 'treasures' of Linbianshui. Although most of his treasures are counterfeit, there are still some valuable ones!" "Ah, so you already have bad intentions!" Camel said with a stare. "In our line of business, nouveau riche are always our good targets!" So, the two laughed at each other.
On the night when Luo Tuo and Chang Laoyao arrived in Mexico City, Lin Miao aside, they first visited the China Pavilion of the "World Expo" as tourists. The goal of Luo Tuo and Chang Laoyao is the building that looks like a temple of heaven - the treasure exhibition place.

As soon as the camel saw the pearl shirt and dragon ball hat that belonged to the ancient emperors, he was very excited.This is really a rare treasure. If it wasn't for the invitation of the upstart Lin Bian Shui, how could the camel have the opportunity to open this horizon? "It's a national treasure, it's a pity to lose it overseas!" Luo Tuo sighed. The youngest Chang teased, "Your national consciousness has spontaneously arisen again?" "Well, even if you don't gamble with Lin Bian Shui, this is a very interesting thing!" The camel was already twirling his sparse mustache.

The youngest Chang knew that Luo Tuo was using his brain again, and he never let go of such things! "You should look in all directions!" said the youngest Chang. "It's clear to me at a glance, can the defense of this fur technology fool me?" Camel said proudly. "The security is tight!" The camel winked at Chang Laoyao, because an armed guard looked down from time to time in the corridor on the upper floor of the roof, and he whispered to Chang Laoyao: "We can't act too hastily, anyway, time is still long!" "I think it's not just that there are only a few guards guarding it." The youngest Chang said.

"Of course, there are electric eyes around the corridor to monitor the activities of tourists!" Camel said. "There may be something wrong with the glass covering the two treasures!" The youngest Chang also had some experience in this area. "Of course! Didn't you see the bronze medal with the words 'Designed by Roche & Sons Electro-Mechanical Engineering' under the glass cover? They advertised, which also shows that this is an institution!" Luo Tuo said with a smile. "Are you sure?" "Using an old story to explain, it is 'There is no silver three hundred taels here'!"

The youngest Chang scratched his head, looked at the inside and outside of the glass cover, including its pedestal, and murmured: "Based on your judgment, what kind of mechanism does it have?" "I don't know!" Luo Tuo shook his head and said, "But it's very simple. Ask Luo and his son, and they will tell you everything!" "Maybe they won't tell!" "They nailed up the bronze medal for the purpose of advertising and soliciting business. If there is business coming, how can they not tell the whole story?" Suddenly, the youngest Chang lost his expression, secretly stretched out his hand to pull the camel, and said in a low voice: "Brother Luo, who do you think is that person?"

"Who?" Camel asked nonchalantly. "That tall guy with a small beard!" The youngest Chang winked. The camel's mouse eyes widened, and it searched among the tourists. It saw a tall man in a suit and leather shoes, with a small mustache on his lips, bright eyes, and gray temples. "Damn it!—Isn't that Zuo Luntai?" The camel frowned. "The famous 'No. 1 Gunner in the World'..." Chang said, "He is also paying attention to the bronze medal of 'Roche & Sons Electronic Mechanical Engineering Company'. What does he want to do?"

"Could it be that he is also using this treasure's brain?" "This is too bad, I have to fight with Zuo Luntai..." The camel spat and said with a smile: "We are so sensitive, why should we think in a bad way?" The youngest Chang was dumbfounded again, and said, "Look, who is the person who came in at the gate? Sao Beard..." "Strange, it's Qiu Yisen!" The camel stretched its neck and was also stunned. "The big name, the guy nicknamed 'Old Fox', how could it be such a coincidence? We all met in Mo City!" At this time, I saw Qiu Yisen walking towards Zuo Luntai. The two seemed to be old friends who had reunited after a long time.

"Wouldn't it be bad if Qiu Yisen also used his brains?" The youngest Chang had already started to get nervous. "Don't meet them, let's avoid them!" Camel said. So, he and Chang Laoyao hurriedly turned their backs and hid in a corner of the corridor. It turned out that this day happened to be the day when Jin Jinghua and his sister accompanied Qiu Yisen to visit the security guards in the exhibition hall, and it happened that Zuo Luntai was planning to attack the two treasures. It was unexpected for Luo Tuo to meet two difficult people. Chang Laoyao's reputation and status in the Jianghu are quite different from that of Luo Tuo. He is unknown, and few people know his face. Therefore, Luo Tuo let Chang Lao Yao sneak into the Mongolian barbecue restaurant. What is the purpose of getting together with Zuo Luntai? The youngest Chang sat in front of the counter, ordered a barbecue, and used the attitude of tasting wine, using the large glass mirror hanging on the wall to reflect, you can see that Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai are friendly on the outside, but they are speaking sharply , It doesn't seem to be cooperating on a certain matter, but the content of their conversation, the youngest Chang can't hear, the barbecue restaurant is so noisy and noisy. The identities of the young man and woman sitting next to Qiu Yisen are quite suspicious. They belong to Qiu Yisen's side, what kind of relationship do they have with Qiu Yisen?Still have to work harder! Not long after, Zuo Luntai and Qiu Yisen broke up and left in a hurry. The youngest Chang reported the general situation to Luo Tuo. Luo Tuo scratched his scalp and said, "Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai are dangerous people. Their appearance here is not good for me. What is their position? What kind of intentions are there? They should be found out soon!" The youngest Chang began to feel a little hesitant, and said, "How to proceed? Maybe we are suspicious of ghosts, they are just here for sightseeing, and have nothing to do with us..." The camel said: "It's always good to be on guard first!" The youngest Chang said: "You know, these two people are both 'hornet's nests', and you can't poke them! If they are reminded and they match up with us, wouldn't it be bad then?" Luo Tuo said: "Zuo Luntai only wants to do what he wants, and he will do all kinds of ugly things! Qiu Yisen is not the case. He has stopped working on cases since he 'washed his hands'. I am worried because he is helping the exhibition hall. He looks very similar, after Zuo Luntai left, he was still standing in front of the door with his hands on his hips, and now he is patrolling the arena again..." "Brother Luo, according to your thinking, it's too bad for us!" The youngest Chang said with a sigh. "Let me avoid Qiu Yisen when I show my face, and then you can sneak into his side and see how he reacts." Luo Tuo came up with a unique trick. "I'll take care of it for you!" Not long after, the camel came out of a circle in the exhibition hall, deliberately standing in a conspicuous place.The youngest Chang lurks beside Qiu Yisen, Jin Jinghua and others, paying attention to his reaction. Jin Yanni was the first to spot the camel. To be honest, the strange appearance of the camel is very eye-catching. The camel slipped away very quickly, and when Qiu Yisen chased it out, the monster had already disappeared.In fact, the camel turned around among the crowd, hiding in a dark place and watching Qiu Yisen's reaction. The conversation between Qiu Yisen and Jin Jinghua's brothers and sisters was all heard by the youngest Chang, and the youngest Chang did not dare to stay by their side for too long, lest they reveal any clues.From their conversation alone, one can know what Qiu Yisen's position is. Qiu Yisen and the young couple have a special relationship with the Temple of Heaven exhibition venue. Otherwise, they would not be so nervous and have to be on the spot take people.The relationship between the young man and woman and the Temple of Heaven exhibition venue must be further investigated. Not long after, Chang Laoyao met Luo Tuo, and he told what happened. "Brother Luo has a unique vision. How could you tell that Qiu Yisen was on the side of the exhibition hall?" The youngest Chang felt sincere admiration for Luo Tuo. "Maybe I'm more sensitive!" Luo Tuo frowned, and said in a deep thought, "Well, this time it's more troublesome." "If it is said that Zuo Luntai also came from stealing treasures, then wouldn't we be attacked on both sides?" The youngest Chang seemed to have run afoul of the waterway. Luo Tuo was also confused, and said: "Zuo Luntai is known as the 'No. 1 shooter in the world'. If we don't compare guns with him, there is nothing to be afraid of; the problem is Qiu Yisen, who is nicknamed 'Old Fox', and his tricks in the world are better than anyone else. He knows a lot, and his wisdom is superior to others, so it is very difficult to deal with him!" "Should we find out Qiu Yisen's background first? What is the relationship between him and the exhibition hall?" Chang's youngest asked. Luo Tuo paused and said: "We start with the 'Roche & Sons Electro-Mechanical Engineering Company', and it is not difficult to get the answer! In addition, Qiu Yisen found out that I appeared at the exhibition venue, and he might preemptively understand my intentions and send it to my door automatically." !" The youngest Chang was still worried about the camels, and said, "Do you think that the stolen treasures won't hit the rocks?" Luo Tuo's expression relaxed instead, and he began to hum the libretto of "Empty City Strategies" in the Pingju opera: "Zhuge never takes risks, and risks show his talents..." The youngest Chang looked at the appearance of the camel, he did not intend to give up stealing treasures! "It must be interesting to fight wits with the 'old fox'!" Luo Tuo suddenly smiled and said, "I boast that I have never encountered a very strong opponent in my life. This opportunity should not be missed!" The youngest Chang said: "Are you sure you can win against Qiu Yisen?" "Things haven't started yet, who can predict?" "Don't forget that there is Zuo Luntai, who is also a difficult friend!" "Zuo Luntai and Qiu Yisen are very elegant characters, but there are thousands of mistakes, and they are only a little short!" "What's wrong?" "I didn't learn the business of cheating!"
When the camel returns to the "luxury hotel", it will appear as a "grandfather". When entering the lobby, the boy who pulls the glass door will be rewarded ten dollars; when entering the elevator, the maid who waits for the elevator will be rewarded ten dollars; Ten dollars for the servant who waits on the keys!The shot is generous and refreshing!Although the entire hotel was fully booked, he was still the only "uncle", and no one had ever met him. Not long after, Luo Tuo asked the waiter to invite the accounting manager upstairs, and said in an official tone, "This hotel of yours is full of messy guests, and there are often ghostly people who pay attention to me! You know, I am A rich man with status, traveling around the world and passing through this place, living here is really a bit uneasy!" The manager's face was as white as paper, and he quickly declared: "Our hotel is the first-class hotel in Mexico City, and all the guests are the most noble!" The camel took out all the banknotes in his bag, including more than a thousand US dollars, thousands of Hong Kong dollars, hundreds of British pounds, more than a hundred Australian dollars, thousands of Vietnamese currency, more than ten baht Thai currency, and more than ten thousand Japanese currency. Tens of thousands of francs, tens of thousands of marks... Hey, he is full of beautiful things. Although it cannot be regarded as a great wealth, it can prove that he has indeed traveled around the world and passed through many places. These banknotes were just exchanged by the youngest Chang at the currency exchange office of the "International Expo". Mr. Si Li only saw those fragmentary numbers, and his head became dizzy. He kept the money for customers without missing a single penny. It would take a long time just to count the currencies of different countries, not to mention opening What about the list?When returning, if there is a shortfall, the hotel has to be responsible for compensation. "There are small safes for tourists to rent in the hotel. Why don't you rent one, store it in, and keep the key yourself, so it's more convenient for you to use it at any time!" said Mr. Si Li. "No! If you have a safe for rent, I have something that I hope can be stored in the safe!" The camel said, and took out a bunch of emerald grapes from his luggage.It was carved from pure emerald, with distinct branches and leaves, true color and dazzling light, it can be seen at a glance that it is quite a valuable antique. The youngest Chang looked a little kind, as if she had seen it there?He suddenly remembered that those were all the treasures in the "treasure" of the water by the forest. When did the camel "float" him (stolen lingo)? Mr. Si Li compared the bunch of emerald grapes and said, "It's just right, it can fit in a small safe!" The camel said: "You must know that this bunch of emerald grapes is a priceless treasure, and it is intended to be sent to participate in the fair! But I see that the situation of the fair is very messy, and if they are lost for me, they will not be able to afford it!" Mr. Si Li nodded yes and said, "I'll open the safe for you right away!" The camel said: "Is your defense here safe?" The manager said: "Our hotel employs private detectives, so just rest assured that everything is absolutely safe!" "That's all right!" said the camel. So, Mr. Si Li invited Luo Tuo to the tent downstairs to see their safe equipment. The camel held the bunch of emerald grapes in both hands, and it was very eye-catching when it passed by.From now on, everyone in the hotel knows that Luo Tuo is a millionaire and an antique collector.Especially the waiters in the hotel are very flattering. The security equipment in this hotel tent is good. There are dozens of small safes for customers to rent, lined up side by side, like documents and files of some government agency.Every safe has a different key.There is also a large iron gate at the entrance of the room. The key of the iron gate is kept by the manager. After the customer who rents the safe obtains the manager's permission to open the iron gate, he can enter the storage room of the small safe by himself to deal with his belongings. Camel rented a No. 03 safe, and carefully stored the emerald grapes in the safe. He deliberately asked the manager a question, saying: "Customers who rent a safe can come in and out of this room freely. What should we do if we steal someone else's safe and steal it?" The manager hurriedly said: "The structure of each safe is different, and the keys are also different. At the same time, the guests who enter and exit this hotel are all high-class people. We have never had any accidents!" The camel raised the key and said, "What if the key is lost?" "Don't lose it!" "When it comes to keys, I'm often careless, why don't I leave them to your accountant for safekeeping!" Si Li looked distressed, scratched his scalp and said, "To keep the key, you must seal it in an envelope, seal it, and sign it yourself, so that you can unseal it in the future!" "Well! This is a good idea, your hotel is really considerate!" The manager took the camel to the reception room of the accounting room, took out the deposit envelope, and handed it to the camel to seal and sign, and said: "Actually, we have a spare key, but it is kept by the general manager, so everything is safe and reliable. Just take it easy!" Camel put the key into the kraft paper envelope, pasted the seal, and wrote the crab signature on the seal.The manager nailed the numbered bronze medal, and the other bronze medal was used by the camel to check the number in the future, and the envelope was locked in the safe. Because Luo Tuo decided to hand over the various foreign currencies to the account room for safekeeping, for the convenience of taking them out, Mr. Si Li asked his accountant to do the calculations, draw up a list, and the account room will sign for receipt. . At this time, a burly man in a suit and leather shoes entered the reception room and handed Camel a business card in a respectful manner. Mr. Si Li introduced: "This is our hotel detective, Zhan Tianba!" Luo Tuo looked at the business card, but it was very uniquely printed, with their hotel logo and "Luxury Hotel Private Detective, Zhan Tianba" written in block letters on it. Camel introduced himself: "I am Professor Camel!" Foreigners have special respect for professors, especially Oriental professors, who are all outstanding talents. Tips from camels to hotel boys and waiters are ten dollars, which is very effective in advertising.Zhan Tianba has long been famous for this "uncle", and he is afraid that he will not be able to curry favor with him. The camel said again: "In this hotel, there are many people who are tricking me. In the future, you should help and pay more attention. It's like I hired you as a private detective. I will never treat you badly!" Zhan Tianba Lian claimed it was, saying: "This is my job responsibility, you just need to rest assured that staying in our hotel will be safe!"
After Luo Tuo and Chang Laoyao returned to the room, Luo Tuo smiled and took out a piece of soft glue from his pocket, which was used by dentists to make tooth models.There was already a model of a key printed on that piece of soft rubber, which was exactly the key model of the No. 03 Safebox that Camel had rented just now. The youngest Chang was very puzzled, and said, "What? Brother Luo is already planning to do a case here?" The camel said: "First arrange 'defensive warfare' to make this hotel shocking, and we will be safer! That Zhantianba is stupid and can be used. Later, we will give him a hundred With a tip of US dollars, teach him to open his eyes for us anytime, anywhere!" "Are you planning to steal yourself?" "Suppose this hotel can't afford to pay for a bunch of emerald grapes, what will they do?" The youngest Chang laughed and said, "Brother Luo, you always like to fight in many ways, and you want to turn this hotel upside down?" "To divert the target!" "If there is a theft, you will always have someone to plant, who is it?" Luo Tuo was very proud and said: "This is a game of idle chess, let's start first and then talk. Let's see if it is Qiu Yisen or Zuo Luntai. Whoever comes to the door first will be the one of them who will be unlucky!" "Do you think Zuo Luntai will trouble you too?" The youngest Chang was puzzled and asked again. "If Zuo Luntai also came here for the purpose of stealing treasures, and found out that I had the possibility of 'getting ahead' when I arrived in Mocheng, he would of course fight me!" "You seem to have a lot of considerations. When the problem is in Sancha Harbor, how could you think of the emerald grapes that floated into the water at the edge of the forest?" Camel giggled and said, "It's an ugly saying, 'thieves don't have empty hands'! Lin Bianshui, an upstart, doesn't know good or bad at all. Among his 'treasures', this bunch of emerald grapes is still a very valuable antique, just because it has It was incomplete, so Lin Bian Shui left it in an unimportant position, I had a brainstorm, took it by hand, and brought it out, unexpectedly it came in handy!" The youngest Chang has great admiration for the camel, which can prove that this old monster is always using his brains. "What should our first job be?" "With the appearance of Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai, I deeply feel that there is not enough manpower, and reinforcements are necessary!" "Reinforcement?" The youngest Chang said with joy, "I see, you mean to call Xia Luohong, Sun Ahqi, Peng Hu, Aunt Cha and others to help?" With burning eyes, Luo Tuo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough!" "Why? Do you still have to recruit soldiers and buy horses?" "No! Among my subordinates, Xia Luohong, Sun Aqi, Peng Hu, Aunt Cha, and others are all too famous. Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai all know that when they arrive here, they will definitely cause shock to Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai. The big fight is about to begin! Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai have the same problem, which is self-admiration, so I want to use beauty tricks to distract their attention, and I need to send out female generals!" "Isn't it despicable to use a beauty trick?" The youngest Chang disagreed. "The enemy is at present, use any means!" Camel said with a smile. "Who do you want to find in your heart?" "I'm thinking, 'far away water can't save near fire', it's better to use local materials, can you introduce me to a suitable candidate?" The youngest Chang frowned, thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "Yes, I have a daughter who is married to a sister, 'new debut', beautiful and smart, her appearance is a talent to make !" "Is it reliable?" "A daughter who is married to a sister is like a niece. She is a 'new debut'. There are many things to learn. Her mother is exactly what she wants. How can she be unreliable?" "What is your name?" "He Xini!" "How old are you?" "Eighteen!" "Too tender!" The youngest Chang quickly changed his words and said: "A woman's age is always hidden, she is in her early twenties, she looks very beautiful, especially with a pair of ecstatic eyes, which can be soul-stirring, and her complexion is more beautiful , shallow peach blossoms, and the small mouth speaks delicately, I dare to believe that both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai will not escape the beauty test!" Luo Tuo shook his head and said: "Both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai have entered their forties, and the women they like are 'Ginger is old and spicy'! They won't be fooled by tender babies!" "He Xini's situation is special. Everyone loves her. I can fully guarantee that as soon as you meet her, you will immediately like her!" The youngest Chang is almost willing to take all the responsibilities. Luo Tuo's eyes were burning, and after much deliberation, he finally said: "Then ask her to come and see! But we can't meet in this hotel, otherwise all plans will be changed!" The youngest Chang was overjoyed, he was extremely gratified that he could recommend someone to study with Camel. "I'll notify her mother right away!" he said. "Buy time, but don't rush!" Camel said.
Lin Bianshui's son Lin Miao arrived in Mocheng with Luotuo and Chang Laoyao successively. He is responsible for the expenses of Luo Tuo and Chang Laoyao, providing financial support at any time, and also has the responsibility of supervision.But Lin Miao doesn't live in the "luxury hotel", this is Luo Tuo's idea, to avoid involving him in case things fail. Lin Miao has a hotel he is familiar with, called "Estin Hotel", and the facilities are very high-end.There are stipulated contact times between him and the camel.At this time, Lin Miao called. "How is it? Uncle Luo, do you appreciate Mocheng? Do you want me to take you sightseeing?" he asked. "Very good, but I don't want to go sightseeing, the old bone needs to rest, and I will find you when I want to play!" Camel replied. "My father said that you will be entertained by me when you come here. Do you need money?" "Don't waste money like your old man. There are many interesting places in Mexico City. Just go and have fun. I will let you know when I want to go for a walk!" "Is there no place that needs my help?" The child was quite enthusiastic. "Not yet!" Zhan Tianba, the private detective of the "Luxury Hotel", knocked on the door and entered the room. He bowed respectfully in front of the camel. The camel hung up the phone and said, "What advice do you have?" Zhan Tianba cautiously came to the side of the camel, hesitated to speak, his appearance was almost flattering. The youngest Chang has already seen what Zhan Tianba is thinking, and hastily handed him cigarettes and poured wine.He took out a hundred dollars, stuffed it into Zhan Tianba's hand, and said, "This is a reward from Professor Camel!" Zhan Tianba dodges that he doesn't need it, but it's just a show. How can there be no reason to not want the banknotes that fly into his wallet? The youngest Chang was very sophisticated, he stuffed the banknotes into Zhan Tianba's pocket, and he said "thank you" before being disrespectful. "You seem to have some special news to tell me?" Camel said bluntly. "There are new guests in the hotel who have been asking about you and Mr. Chang, as if they have some intentions, but it doesn't matter, I have been paying close attention to you two!" Zhan Tianba said. The camel had already expected that this kind of thing might happen, so he deliberately said: "Isn't the 'luxury hotel' already full? How come there are new guests coming in?" Zhan Tianba said: "That is the worst single room in the hotel. It is used by employees on weekdays. The other party was introduced by someone who has a face, so it is tantamount to letting him live in perfunctorily!" "Who introduced it?" "It is said that it was introduced by Mr. Shaodong Jin Jinghua from the 'King's Enterprise Building'. This Xiaokai often opens rooms in this hotel and invites a large number of friends to go whoring and gambling. He is a long-term guest of our hotel, so I'm sorry Sell ​​face." "Is it the Jin's Enterprise Building?" Luo Tuo didn't know much about the environment in Mexico City, so he asked again. "'King's Enterprise Building' has a great status in the overseas Chinese community, but it has only declined in the past one or two years!" Zhan Tianba said. "What business is involved in this corporate building?" "Ah, there are a lot of businesses, such as insurance, shipping, real estate... But, they started their business as a laundry shop in the first place!" "Is it the insurance industry?" Camel had an idea, as if he had already thought of the question of the expo. "What's the name of that resident?" The youngest Chang interrupted and asked. "It's a burly man. The signature on the passenger register is Williams. According to him, he is a private detective!" Zhan Tianba said. "Private detective?" Luo Tuo was stunned, and he and Chang Laoyao looked at each other in blank dismay. "Looks like a private eye from Wallace Van Lun's Private Detective House!" It turned out that after Jin Jinghua learned that the camel had appeared in Mexico City, he spent all night looking for Wallace Fan Lun!Jin Jinghua still believed in Wallace Fan Lun, this was their normal personal relationship.Wallace Fan Lun does not believe that there are really people with "three heads and six arms" like Luo Tuo and Zuo Luntai in the world. He believes that this is a rumor on the street. The Mexico City International Expo attracts worldwide attention. The pearl shirts and dragon ball hats of the ancient royal family are on public display. Yes, even if Luo Tuo and Zuo Luntai have great skills, they cannot steal these two treasures in full view. Even if the treasures could be stolen from the trade fair, he would not be able to escape from Mo City.Those who arrest them are tantamount to "catching a turtle in a urn", and there is no escape no matter what. Jin Jinghua asked Wallace Fan Lun not to be careless because he heard what Qiu Yisen said.Precautions in advance are better than panic afterwards, so Wallace Van Lun used his social connections to try his best to find the whereabouts of the camel and Zuo Luntai. Wallace Van Lun found the whereabouts of the camels without any effort, just checking the passenger lists of famous hotels in Mexico City.The camels lived in the "luxury hotel", and Wallace Van Lun immediately sent his assistant Williams to live in the hotel to monitor the activities of the camels.Williams acted too hastily. After being introduced by Jin Jinghua, he set up a small room in a "luxury hotel" and immediately spied on the camels. Little did he know that the camels had already taken precautions. He had already prepared the layout, and even the hotel's private detective became His eyeliner is gone. Zhan Tianba immediately gave Camel a message.Luo Tuo thought to himself, since it was Qiu Yisen who sent someone to find him, he might as well show him some strength first, and that guy named Williams could teach him a little bit of suffering first. Luo Tuo thanked Zhan Tianba and asked him to keep an eye on Williams and report any news at any time.After he sent Zhan Tianba away, he whispered to Chang Laoyao.Act as planned. Naturally, the youngest Chang started activities in the "luxury hotel" and spied on him up and down. The object of his investigation was the guests in the hotel, and he found a couple among them, which could be used by him for jokes and tricks.It was a colonel, an old couple and a young wife. His wife was beautiful and coquettish. The old man was very jealous. It was wrong for any young man to come into contact with his wife. When the camel got the news, he giggled. There is a florist near the "luxury hotel" that offers all kinds of seasonal flowers.Camel then went to the flower shop and ordered twelve bouquets of roses, with Williams's signature on them, as a token of love.Instructed the owner of the florist to deliver four bouquets of roses every day, one for the colonel's wife in the morning, one in the afternoon, one in the evening, and one in the middle of the night. After the camels paid, the flower shop owner complied and delivered them on time according to the hotel room number given to them by the camels. In the morning, the colonel's wife didn't know what was inside, thought it was a mistaken delivery, and ordered it to be returned. At noon, the florist delivered the bouquet of roses returned in the morning to the colonel's room.It happened that the colonel and his wife were out, and the waiter signed for it. In the evening, the second bouquet of roses was delivered, and the waiter also signed for it. At night, when the colonel and his wife returned to the hotel room, they found three bouquets of roses expressing their love, and there was a card signed by Williams on them. There was a big quarrel. The next morning, someone knocked on the door, and another bouquet of roses was delivered. The colonel decided that it was the young wife who was cheating outside. Old couples and young wives often commit this kind of problem. The colonel was jealous and hurried with a self-defense pistol. go out. He went to the flower shop and found out who ordered the flowers. It turned out that he had ordered a total of twelve bouquets of roses, which would be delivered in three days. The sender's name was Williams, who also lived in a "luxury hotel" room number.The colonel was angry from the heart, and the evil turned to the guts. He hurried back to the "luxury hotel", looked for the room where Williams lived, and knocked on the door violently. Williams wasn't up yet, bleary-eyed, yawning, and scratching as he opened the door. The colonel asked his name first, then took off his gloves and slapped him twice.Williams was beaten inexplicably. The colonel had handed over his business card and agreed on a time and place.It's a duel date.Time: In the early morning of the next day, Location: Park Plaza in the center of Mexico City. Those who don't arrive on time are cowards.After the colonel finished speaking, he bowed and retreated in full military style. Williams picked up the famous card, touched his slapped face, and still couldn't figure out what was inside, the colonel had already left. Being humiliated face to face is a small matter, but being invited to a duel is a big matter, that means desperate. He has seen the business card, and the person who invited him to a duel is a colonel with a high status. He can't figure out when he offended the colonel ?What was the reason for the duel? Williams was taken aback, and immediately reported it to his master. Wallace Van Lun was also surprised. He scolded Williams first, and decided that Williams must have been drunk and flirting with a good woman. Otherwise, how could he anger this woman? What about the older colonel?Get into trouble before things are done. Wallace Fanlun launched an investigation and found out that Williams sent flowers to the Colonel's wife. This kind of thing is extremely unlikely. Wallace Fanlun knew that the two men he hired were not romantic seeds. They pursued the opposite sex. How can there be such a civilization, and give roses as gifts?However, the flower shop has proof that the name of the person who gave the flower exactly matches the residence address, so there is something strange about this matter. The only thing Williams could prove that he was wronged was that the handwriting on the gift card was different.Ask the florist about the appearance of the person who ordered the flower. After some description, isn't it a camel?Why is he making such a joke? Williams was so angry that he immediately went to the camel to settle the score, but Wallace Fanlun forbade him to do so. "We have to consider what the camel's intention is? You haven't launched an investigation with him, and he has already given you a blow! How did the matter get leaked? How could he confront you? This seems like a challenge!" Hua Lai Schwarzman said. "The camel faked my name, and I can sue him. Isn't it a good time to file a lawsuit with him? Just let him go around eating!" He growled. Wallace Fan Lun ordered Williams to be calm, because he had been taken care of by Jin Jinghua, and the camel is a very strong opponent, so he should not be negligent. "Then the duel tomorrow morning, should I go to the appointment?" Williams asked. "Of course not!" "Wouldn't that be a coward?" "It takes patience..." "I can't stand it!" Williams raged.
At the same time, Luo Tuo asked Zhan Tianba to lead the way and pay a personal visit to Colonel Nakano. Camel handed over his business card, which was printed as a university professor somewhere in the east.Colonel Nakano hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't know the reason for the camel's visit. Luo Tuo is good at acting, so he deliberately cut straight to the point and said: "This kid is young and ignorant, please forgive me!" The colonel didn't understand what the camel was referring to, and Monk Ruzhang Er couldn't figure it out, and said, "Who are you referring to?" "I mean the boy who brought the roses!" said the camel. Colonel Nakano wondered even more, what did the man who sent roses to show his love to his wife have anything to do with this professor? "Is that why you came to visit me?" "He asked me to intercede for him!" "What's the reason?" “我们东方人的哲学,上天有好生之德,救人一命胜造七级浮屠!”骆驼非常慎重地说:“试想,上校你功勋显赫,枪林弹雨出身,威廉士不过是一名村夫,若说两人决斗的话,你在十步之内可以举枪击中他的鼻梁,而威廉士呢,他恐怕连你站在什么位置也摸不着,这称决斗,等于是以卵碰石,谁胜谁负已经分明,生死也成定局。那上校德高望重,何不高抬贵手,放他一马,饶恕他无知算了!” 那卡诺上校气愤未平,踌躇着。其实,他又何尝愿意决斗呢?毕生戎马,使枪弄剑早已经感到厌倦,置下年轻娇妻去拼老命,又何苦来呢?于是,他又再问,说:“你和威廉士究竟有着什么样的关系呢?” 骆驼一声长叹,说:“那卡诺上校,不瞒你说,玫瑰花是我购买送给尊夫人的,只是借用威廉士的名字而已!” “你——?”那卡诺上校愕然。 “是的,玫瑰花是由我所订,总共十二束,规定每天送四束,分作三天送完!” “你什么用意呢?” “唉,一个人年纪大了,不免会老糊涂……” 那卡诺上校倏地格格大笑起来,说:“中国是东方文明古国,有五千年文化历史,圣人哲人迭出,代人受过之精神令人钦佩呢。骆驼教授,你真了不起!” 骆驼指着玫瑰花篮上的卡片说:“上校,你若不相信的话,卡片上的签名也是我的笔迹,你可以核对一番呢!” 那卡诺上校更不肯相信,摇手说:“不必核对了,我了解你的用心,决斗之事就此取消!全看你的面子啦!” 骆驼连声道谢,说:“我衷心感激,希望这一次的教训,可以使威廉士好好反省,重新为人!” “我钦佩你的为人,要敬你一杯酒!” “我不是酒客,不善饮的!” “我只是聊表敬意而已!”那卡诺上校取出美酒,斟了两杯,敬骆驼,两人对饮干了杯。 他俩的一席谈话,占天霸是一直守在骆驼的身畔的,这时对骆驼的为人,人格之伟大,是钦佩得五体投地。 自然,那卡诺上校绝不会相信骆驼的一番话是真的,认为这位东方学者“舍己助人”,精神伟大,他怎知道威廉士被他耍弄于股掌之中。这正符合了骆驼行骗江湖的十二字要诀真言。“真真假假,假假真真,疑真似假,疑假似真。”可以把真的变成假的,假的变成真的;天底下的事情就会“唏哩呼噜”的了。 骆驼礼貌辞出那卡诺上校的套房,走出走廊,就发现威廉士怒目圆睁守在那儿。华莱士范伦因为搞不清楚骆驼的用意何在,禁止威廉士采取任何的行动,华莱士范伦正找寻金京华商研这件事情里骆驼的动机。 金京华不懂江湖之事,向仇奕森请教。 仇奕森经过一番思考,反而责备金京华和华莱士范伦行事鲁莽,他说:“骆驼无非是想'盘'你们的底子,先发制人的做法,大概威廉士进入'豪华酒店'就动了声息,泄底了,这还算好的,当做开玩笑似地教威廉士吃一点小苦头,相信下一次会更棘手了!” 金京华由此才开始相信骆驼是一个难惹的人物了。
这时,在“豪华酒店”那卡诺上校的门外,骆驼偷偷问占天霸说:“那怒目圆睁的是什么人?” 占天霸回答说:“就是你刚才帮了他大忙的家伙,威廉士……” “我和他素不相识,为什么充满了仇恨似的怒目相向?”骆驼说:“我无异救他一命啦!” “这种人,不识好人心!是否需要我替你们作一番介绍,让他向你道歉?”占天霸讨好地说:“他应该感谢你替他解除困难的!” “善欲人见,不是真善,我不必认识他,否则等于表功了!”骆驼说。 “至少,你要给他一顿申斥!” “不必了,有过那卡诺上校事件,他应该自我反省,要不然,将来还有苦头吃!年轻人,自命风流,调戏良家妇女,是最犯忌讳的事情!说实在话,我对这种人深痛恶绝呢!”骆驼昂然打威廉士的身旁走过去。 占天霸等于是做了骆驼的保镖似的,他偷偷地向威廉士说:“你对这位骆驼教授,应该好好感激才是!” 威廉士有苦说不出。这时,就算有机会向那卡诺上校解说,也解说不清楚了,整个事情已被骆驼搞得混乱不清啦。
当天,那卡诺上校和他的夫人就搬出了“豪华酒店”。 那卡诺上校原订是要在“豪华酒店”住上一个星期的,因为发生了这种不愉快事件,提早离去,临行之前,还送给骆驼一瓶香槟酒以示谢忱。 墨城举办万国博览会期间,一流酒店的房间是最可贵的。那卡诺上校的行李刚搬出他的套房,空出的房间就有人订了。 来的是一位少女,看似是什么豪门富贾的千金小姐,光是她的行李就够瞧的,大大小小有十余件之多,而且一律是玫瑰色的,除了花大把的钞票订制,哪会有这样完整的一大套的行李箱呢? 女郎的年岁不大,二十上下年纪,长得婷婷玉立,沉鱼落雁,她披着貂皮大衣,戴着貂皮帽,来到酒店的柜台前,在旅客登记册上写上了“贺希妮”三个字。 服侍有钱人家的大小姐谁都乐意,帐房先生和侍者们都是打躬作揖的,贺希妮出手也很大方,和骆驼的作风不相上下,任何人的小费,出手也是美钞十元。 贺希妮进入房间之后,头一件事就是吩咐侍者帮她拨电话给蒙戈利将军。只听她说:“电话打通后,关照蒙戈利将军起床后就打电话过来!”气派之大,使侍者们另眼看待,至少蒙戈利将军在墨城是名人,富甲一方,这位女郎吩附蒙戈利将军给她拨电话过来,地位可想而知了。 这电话自是永远打不通,蒙戈利将军从不自己亲自接电话,都是由他的管事人员留话的。蒙戈利将军看到电话留言上贺希妮的名字时,自会诧异,这个女人他从不相识,自然这电话就置之不理了。 一个人有了金钱、地位、声望、名誉,少不得会遇到很多稀奇古怪的事情,经常也会接到一些莫明其妙的电话。蒙戈利将军自然也不会把贺希妮的名字放在心上,更不要说打电话回去了。 但是很奇怪的,不到中午的时间,“豪华酒店”电话总机的接线生就接到蒙戈利将军古堡拨过来的电话,那人自称是蒙戈利将军的秘书,请接线生直接把电话接进贺希妮小姐的豪华套房里去。 接线生的好奇心重,将电话接通之后,持着耳机偷听。 那人说:“蒙戈利将军这两天身体不适,所以没法亲自给你打电话,但是蒙戈利将军交代过,请你到古堡里来游玩,或是今晚共进晚餐!” 贺希妮说:“谢谢,代我问候蒙戈利将军,并祝他早日康复。究竟是怎样身体不适呢?” “感冒罢了!” “那是小毛病,保重一点就好了!” “可需要我们派汽车来接你?” “不必了,我到墨城最重要的是要参观博览会,家父关照过,今年是对外贸易年,也许要做一宗大买卖!” “你没有汽车用,多不方便呢!” “不要紧,'豪华酒店'会为我安排的!” 那人说:“什么时候到古堡来呢?” “那要看我的时间安排什么时候有空了!” 电话挂断之后,消息恨快的就传扬开,那位新搬进豪华酒店的贺希妮小姐,原来和蒙戈利将军是至交好友,怪不得气派会如此的大呢!因之,整间酒店上下,对贺希妮小姐莫不是毕恭毕敬的。 这电话究竟是谁打的呢?又是骆驼耍了花样,教常老么到酒店外面去冒充蒙戈利将军的秘书,打给贺希妮的。 酒店电话总机的接线生有偷听电话的习惯,尤其是名人的电话,诸如蒙戈利将军等的,所以谣言就特别容易传得快! 听说贺希妮小姐需要用汽车,帐房司理为了讨好她,亲自登楼,鞠躬如也,他说:“我们酒店有十多部自备汽车,是专为顾客服务用的,假如贺小姐有必要,我们可以指定一部车专供小姐服务!” 贺希妮回答:“汽车是需要的,但是,还有更重要的事情!” 司理打躬作揖说:“敬请吩咐!” 贺希妮便打开了她的一只行李箱,里面全是奢侈夺目的衣裳,移开衣裳,露出了一个两尺来大见方的首饰箱。她将它提了出来放到桌上,边说:“听说你们的酒店不大安全!” 司理惶恐说:“别听这些谣言,敝酒店是墨城最高级的酒店,进出都是最上流的人物……” 贺希妮摆手说:“这也难怪,在博览会期间,蛇龙混杂,三山五岳的人物汇集,难免会反常的,在我还没进这酒店之前,便听说你们这里有酒徒调戏良家妇女的下流事件发生,可是真有其事?” 司理拭着汗,连忙否认,说:“那纯是误会……” “在最上流的酒店里发生最下流的事情,真令人感到齿冷,贵酒店不觉蒙羞吗?” “唉,没事啦,完全是因误会产生的!” 贺希妮说:“那不关我的事情,假如有人敢惹到我头上的话,我会控告你们这间酒店的,你要密切注意!” 司理连声称是。 贺希妮便打开了她的首饰箱,里面珠光宝气,霞光灿烂,全是钻石、翡翠、珍珠……有串的,有戴的,有扣的……使人眼花撩乱。 “你们此地可曾出过窃盗事件?”贺希妮再问。 “没有的事……” “假如失窃,是否有保险赔偿?” 酒店司理连忙解释:“假如有贵重物品,请交帐房保管;同时,敝酒店还有特制的保险箱租给顾客保管贵重物品之用!” “出租的保险箱吗?” “正是,安全可靠!” “保险箱可曾发生过失窃事件?” “敝酒店自开幕至今,还从来没有发生过!” “嗯,那么我租用你们的保险箱!” 酒店司理以为又拉了一笔额外的生意,兴高采烈,更是将酒店的信誉及安全设备说得天花乱坠,又介绍了酒店的特聘侦探占天霸,教他多注意为贺小姐服务。 贺希妮气派不小,“见礼”就赏给占天霸美金百元,使得占天霸欢天喜地,以为是时来运转,在短短的时间里,“豪华酒店”就出现了两位大主顾,钞票像飞似的自天而降呢! 贺希妮先参观了酒店帐房的保险库,认为满意,于是就租下了一只保险箱。 当贺希妮参观保险库过后回返房间,那间鲜花店又派人送来了玫瑰花。那束玫瑰花上没有卡片,没有署名,却指明了是送给贺希妮小姐的。 贺希妮故意向随行保护她回房间的占天霸冷嗤说:“怪不得,空穴不来风,你们贵酒店果然埋伏有不少色狼!” 占天霸脸色好不尴尬,心想,恐怕又是威廉士那色鬼老毛病犯了。 “我去警告他……”他说。 “你知道是什么人干的吗?”她问。 “前两天就是有人送花给那卡诺上校夫人,几乎出了大乱子!” 贺希妮点头说:“果然,贵酒店是色狼之窝,传说不会错的!”她嗅了嗅那束玫瑰花,含笑吩咐占天霸将它插进花瓶里去,又说:“没关系,我从来就不怕什么色狼的,我能自己应付,不需要你操心!” “但这与敝酒店的名誉有关!” “色狼没关系,最重要的就是不要出窃盗案!”贺希妮提起她的首饰箱,说:“现在最重要的,就是替我把这些首饰送到保险库去锁起来!” 占天霸为了讨好她,赶忙替贺希妮将首饰箱接到手中。 “你代我去锁就行了!”贺希妮又说。 “噢!”占天霸感到很惶恐。“你不自己去吗?” “我信任你!” “不行!酒店的职员无权进入保险库去,也是为了避嫌……” “这样麻烦吗?” “需要劳你的大驾,亲自去不可!” 贺希妮耸肩,表示无可如何,于是由占天霸替她将首饰箱提起,像当差似的,随行在贺希妮身旁,两人又来至帐房的保险库前。 “你真的不能进去吗?”她问。 “为了避嫌,最好不要!” “那么,你守在门外,暂时不要让任何人进来,我不喜欢被人发现我收藏着些什么样的首饰!” 占天霸连声称是,说:“我绝对不让任何人进内!” 那保险库的大铁闸门的钥匙,是由帐房司理保管的,他打开铁闸门之后,便没他的事了。 贺希妮自占天霸手中接过了首饰箱,便只身进内。 骆驼租用的是第一0三号保险箱,钥匙虽交由帐房保管,但是他早用软胶打了模子,又配制了相同的钥匙,钥匙早已交在贺希妮手中了。 贺希妮先打开第一0三号保险箱,将骆驼存放的那串翡翠葡萄取出,重新将保险箱锁好,翡翠葡萄便放在首饰箱里,然后再打开自己租用的保险箱,胡乱摆了几件较为像样的饰物进内。 不久,贺希妮提着首饰箱,重新走出保险库。 占天霸为了巴结,赶忙替贺希妮接过首饰箱代她提着,边说:“锁好了吗?” 贺希妮点头说:“锁好了!” 占天霸提着首饰箱,有点纳闷,因为那首饰箱还是那样的重呢。 贺希妮已看出占天霸起了疑心,便说:“我只锁了几件较值钱的进去!” “怪不得,我觉得首饰箱并没有变轻!” “它本身就是重的!” 帐房司理为贺希妮锁上保险库的铁闸门,边向这位贵客招呼说:“贺小姐,你感到满意吗?” “非常满意!”贺希妮回答。 神不知鬼不觉,骆驼放在保险箱里的那串翡翠葡萄就被贺希妮取出来了,还是由酒店的侦探占天霸替她提着。 两人徐徐地登上楼去。
