Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Monte Carlo Nights
Qiu Yisen also showed his cards. He also had two, three, four, five, and seven, exactly the same cards as Zuo Luntai's.
It was the camel's turn to showdown, and the old monster smiled, scratched his scalp and said, "Both of you lost!"
Both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai refused to believe that there would never be a lower card than theirs. How could Camel win this round?Unless this old monster is playing tricks again?
"We can only find out when we show our cards!" Guan Renmei said.
The camel spread out the cards in his hand first, and all three cards were aces, and the audience was in an uproar, because it was an upside-down betting method, whoever had a "right" in his hand would have the possibility of losing all, not to mention that cameo held three aces ?The old monster also uttered wild words, saying that both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai had lost.
But Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai looked serious, and they guessed that the camel's good show must be behind.
The camel turned out a fourth card, which was an old king.
Guan Renmei couldn't hold her breath, and said, "Professor Luo Tuo, the trump cards are all in your hands. This is an upside-down bet. Don't you lose all?"
The camel turned over the last card in his hand, and everyone was dumbfounded because it was a fake card!
"A waste card is in my hand, if you don't make a name for yourself, don't you lose?" Camel said.
Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai stared in panic, not sure what trick this old monster was playing.Why would you play a joke card?
They all saw clearly that when Luo Tuo opened the new pack of playing cards, he threw the two ghost cards aside. Those were two extra discarded cards, why were they added to the deck?
Both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai are veteran gamblers, no matter how skilled the "hands-on" doctor is with a little bit of trickery, they will not be able to escape their eyes.It is not easy for a camel to play tricks in front of the two of them without revealing its flaws.
When did the camel put the joker in?This can't help but make Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai feel ashamed. It's really "there are still strong players in the strong, and a mountain is still higher than a mountain."
Zuo Luntai hurriedly picked up the card box and took a closer look. The two ghost cards were thrown into the card box.Was the camel swapped out of the inside with one of his cards?Then the cards he swapped out must be in the box!But what Zuo Luntai saw was that there was nothing in the card box except another joker card.The card is issued by Guan Renmei. If there is a mistake, Guan Renmei will be responsible.He Xini only cut the card for him, she has no chance to change the card for the camel, and she can not take any responsibility.
Where did the card that the camel traded go?He couldn't have let that card just disappear.
Qiu Yisen was also very embarrassed, and immediately went to count the remaining cards in front of Guan Renmei after the deal. There was not a single card missing, and there was only one more fake card in the whole deck.
The camel "conjured magic" was able to deceive two big gamblers face to face, and this man's technique can be imagined.
After Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai calmed down a bit, they could imagine that, in general, Luo Tuo had already stolen a joke card. Who would notice this insignificant waste card?When he declared that he was changing a card, he was actually throwing two cards, and the ghost card took the opportunity to change into his hand...
Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai just ignored this point.After all, the gambler is not the opponent of the cheater!
In their hearts, Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai were very impressed by Luo Tuo's tricks. They spent their whole lives in the rivers and lakes, and they learned another lesson, but this method was almost despicable.If it is said to admit defeat, both Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai would be unwilling.
"Since the discarded cards are issued, this round can't be forgotten!" Zuo Luntai suggested.
The camel replied: "We have a word first, and only one game decides the winner of the bet!"
"How can the discarded cards count? We should gamble again..." Guan Renmei also chimed in.
"Miss Guan Renmei, you are the one who deals the cards, and you are also responsible!" Luo Tuo said with a shrug.
"It's too dishonorable to put the blame on me!" Guan Renmei gritted her teeth.
"In terms of cards, I have three aces in my hand, and I'm sure to win; in the upside-down betting method, I'm holding a waste card, and I'm sure to lose. May I ask what card is smaller and more filthy than a waste card?" Camel Clasping his fists together, he said in a courteous manner, "I've accepted it, let me win the bet for my brother!"
How could Zuoluntai admit defeat?If he admits defeat, he will have to give up stealing treasures and let the camel do its own thing. This would be too useless, and the problem of "Manshan Farm" cannot be solved, nor can it be explained in front of Zhu Daishi.
He observes Qiu Yisen's demeanor, if he admits defeat, Qiu Yisen has to admit defeat too!After losing the bet, Qiu Yisen has to take a return ticket to leave Mocheng, and he can no longer meddle in the meddling of treasure theft in Mocheng.Will Qiu Yisen be willing?
Qiu Yisen didn't respond, he seemed to be deliberately waiting for Zuo Luntai to start.
Zuo Luntai is famous for his marksmanship. In the situation of "jumping over the wall", he will definitely accuse the camel of fraudulent gambling. When the two sides conflict, there will be a duel. Qiu Yisen can "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight", and let them both lose. saved.
"Qiu Yisen, what's your opinion?" Zuo Luntai patted Qiu Yisen's shoulder and asked.
Qiu Yisen said flatly: "It is necessary to re-gamble, at least draw out the discarded cards!"
The camel shook his head and said solemnly: "We are not guilty of betting if we lose. If a gentleman speaks out, it is hard to chase! We have made it clear in advance that we will win or lose in one game, and it will hurt our feelings if we gamble too much. That's the end of it!"
Zuo Luntai considered turning his back on him and challenged the camel to a duel. This old monster lived quite patiently.Wouldn't he be happy to be a ghost under the gun?So, he stood up, pointed his pipe at the camel, and said coldly: "In terms of qualifications, you are older than us. If you use the discarded cards to win our bet, you are not beautiful enough!..."
Luo Tuo firmly said: "I won the bet, so that's it. If you two don't admit the bet, you can take back the bet. I, Luo, can 'afford to put it down'. From now on, you go your own way, and I Walk on my single-plank bridge, let's compare each other, 'Everyone will change in magic, and each has a different technique.' Let's just wait and see, but there is one thing to remind you, don't challenge others easily, there is strength in the strong In the middle hand, those who are strong in the head will inevitably have somersaults!"
Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai had been taught a lesson, and both of them were quite embarrassed.
That's when someone knocked on the door.
The youngest Chang went to open the door, and it was Luo Tuo's adopted son Xia Luohong who came in.
After he met and greeted everyone, he said to the camel: "You have made a bet here. General Mengoli has arrived, and he is about to visit your old man!"
Qiu Yisen was startled when he heard this, he didn't know what kind of gimmick Luo Tuo was playing. General Mongoli was a powerful figure in Mocheng, and it was difficult for many people to meet him.What kind of ability does a camel have, that it would even curry favor with General Mengoli?The old crook was incredible.
Luo Tuo bowed deeply to everyone and said: "I'm very sorry, this is an important appointment. I can't miss the appointment no matter which aspect, so I'm leaving! Today's grand meeting has received a lot from everyone, and I will never forget it. I hope that in the future There is still a chance!" When he said that, he approached He Xini with a smile on his face, kissed her hands, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!"
He Xini said, "Wouldn't it be a pity that the game here is over?"
The camel said: "There is no permanent banquet in the world. The short-lived reunion can be left as a memory!"
Xia Luohong also spoke for his adoptive father: "I'm sorry, General Mengoli's health is not good, and he won't stay in the Bangba Reservoir for long, so Professor Luotuo must go!"
Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai couldn't keep Luo Tuo anymore, Luo Tuo bowed deeply again, Xia Luohong opened the door for him, Luo Tuo backed out of the door.
How could Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai believe that Luo Tuo had a date with General Mengoli?They also hurried downstairs. Especially Zuo Luntai's "Manshan Farm" issue, I really hope to have the opportunity to discuss with General Mongoli face to face, hoping that this special and powerful figure in Mexico City can understand the real situation, so as not to be deceived by his subordinates and ruined. reputation.He thought that General Mengoli would investigate the truth again because of this! At this time, there were many soldiers and policemen in the "Monte Carlo Night" venue, as if they were facing a big enemy. The number of entourage brought by General Mengoli was unknown. There were several colonels alone, and some guarded the door for him. , Armed neatly, covered with medals. The strange thing is that General Mongoli's appearance is not amazing. He is short and thin, with white eyebrows.With a big white beard, his eyebrows and beard almost covered his entire black face. If he was not fully armed, he would be a miserable old man. Holding a nanmu cane, the guards on both sides seemed to build a meat screen, for fear that the wind would blow him away. Who can get close to General Mongoli?He will be blocked by several people, he is the real "national treasure" of Mexico City, the symbol of the people of Mexico. After General Mengoli entered the "Queen's Hotel", he was immediately sent to a specially prepared VIP room.It was the most gorgeous guest room in the "Empress Hotel". It was decorated like a palace, and it was specially used for receiving state guests on weekdays.For the safety of General Mongoli, the security personnel had already checked over and over again, and some people were stationed under martial law. Anyone who wanted to enter the gate of this VIP room needed special permission. The camel threw a business card to the head of the guard and waited for an interview. Zuo Luntai and Qiu Yisen were waiting in the corridor, let's see what kind of stunt this old monster is doing? As if a miracle had happened, General Mongoli's bodyguard announced that General Mongoli would be the first to receive Professor Camel.As soon as the order was delivered, General Mongoli's entourage searched for the camels in the venue. In the imagination of General Mongoli's entourage, Professor Camel must be a great person, otherwise, many dignitaries were waiting, why did General Mongoli summon this little-known professor first. "Your Majesty has been waiting here!" When the camel came to the head of the guard, everyone was surprised.This person's appearance is not amazing, his appearance is not pleasing, he is short and thin, with a big bald head, two mouse eyes, a mustache with an upturned nose, and two big teeth showing,... "Put on the dragon robe Not like an emperor."what happened?Would General Mongoli be the first to summon such a figure? The camel came forward, and a button of the captain's military uniform was crooked, and the camel straightened it for him. The chief guard hurriedly gave a military salute and led the camels into the VIP room. Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai looked at each other, and smiled wryly at each other, wondering what kind of medicine is sold in the camel's gourd? "After all, it's Camel Chess, he can curry favor with the rich and powerful right away, which you and I can't do!" Qiu Yisen accosted Zuo Luntai. "Our methods are not despicable enough!" Zuo Luntai replied. "Depending on the situation, we have to work together to deal with this old monster!" Qiu Yisen said. "No! Our bets are tied, and neither will win!" Zuo Luntai said. "But we all lost to the old monster!" "That's a despicable method, using a joker to win, we can refuse to admit defeat!" Qiu Yisen said: "If you want to defeat the camel, we have to work together, otherwise there are not many chances!" Zuo Luntai laughed and said: "However, there is one thing worth reminding you of. After General Mengoli arrived at the 'Queen's Hotel', he first received the camel, which is enough to prove that the old monster has other ideas. In fact, I As long as the problem of 'Manshan Farm' is solved, there is no need to steal treasure. The key lies in General Mongoli. Maybe take the camel route, and you can directly negotiate with General Mongoli. If you get an understanding, the problem will be solved. It can save a lot of things!" Qiu Yisen was secretly surprised, and said, "So, you might have formed an alliance with the camel?" Zuo Luntai said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the friendship between the camel and General Mengoli. I don't know what kind of gimmick the old monster is putting on? How could he befriend General Mengoli? Maybe the old liar miscalculated , was kicked out of the door again!" Qiu Yisen also can't figure out what kind of medicine Luotuo sells. The old monster's "daoism" is unpredictable, and Qiu Yisen has to re-evaluate his bad idea. What kind of trick did the camel play?It turned out that he had sent a neat Chinese letter to the "Benevolence Society" before the event, stating that a Chinese antique would be donated to the "Benevolence Society" in lieu of a charitable donation.There are also supporting documents for this antique. It is printed on rice paper with batik dyeing pattern, which is antique. There are as many as five or six seals of oracle bone inscriptions and Zhongdingwen, which show that this ancient object has a history of thousands of years. celebrity testimonials. The camel requested that, for the sake of prudence, it would be best to hand it over to General Montgoli himself, and the location would be in the venue of the "Monte Carlo Night" "Queen's Hotel". The reason why the camels have to use Chinese fine brushwork is also very intentional, because General Mongoli is surrounded by villains who exercise power, and ordinary letters and official letters often fail to reach General Mongoli.The Chinese letters are completely incomprehensible to those who play power, and there are antique pictures attached to the letters. Surely some people who are good at currying will present them to General Mongoli for his review, and then find someone who understands Chinese characters to translate them. General Mongolli is at such a young age that he has already passed wine, sex and wealth, and his only hobby now is antiques.A piece of jade carving grapes carved in China for thousands of years aroused great interest of General Mongoli, especially an old Chinese professor who had never met was willing to donate voluntarily, so General Mongoli decided to come to the "Empress Hotel" to receive it in person The camel professor.
After the camels were introduced into the VIP room and General Mengoli shook hands to separate the guests and the hosts and sat down, the guards were busy pouring wine and passing cigars. The old general couldn't wait to see the antiquities donated by the camels. The camel calmly took out the bronze medal of the key to the "luxury hotel" safe from his pocket, handed it to General Mongoli with both hands, and said, "This bunch of jade grapes has a history of thousands of years. It has been buried in the earth several times and has been unearthed again , It’s priceless, I don’t dare to carry it with me casually, so I handed it to the trust safe in the tent of the ‘luxury hotel’, for the sake of safety!” Older people will have a childish temper. General Mongoli was a little disappointed. He rushed all the way from Mocheng to the Bangba Reservoir. He could not immediately appreciate this priceless Chinese antique. He stomped his feet and ordered the guards to The chief immediately drove to the "luxury hotel" in Mexico City to open the safe and bring back the original car of Yuputao. The chief guard didn't dare to be negligent, he didn't even dare to breathe, he hurriedly started his steps, got out of the "Queen's Hotel", boarded the car, ordered the police to use a motorcycle to clear the way for him, and drove towards Mocheng. It takes at least two or three hours to travel from Bangba Reservoir to Mexico City.During this period of time, Luo Tuo was at ease, chatting with General Mongoli, talking about the past and the present, he was eloquent, eloquent, and had a rich sense of humor, which often made General Mongoli very happy.General Mongoli also forgot about the other dignitaries he was due to receive. "Monte Carlo Night" is a charity gambling conference. The distinguished guests that General Montgoli needs to meet are nothing more than polite greetings.In terms of General Mongoli's status, he could refuse to receive other distinguished guests.The problem is, many high-society figures who are trying to curry favor with General Montgoli wonder who is Professor Camel?Why did General Mongoli attach so much importance to him?They completely took up the time when they should be able to get close to General Mongoli!
Two or three hours passed quickly. They rushed to the "Luxury Hotel" in Mexico City and turned back. General Mengoli was waiting to appreciate the Chinese thousand-year-old treasure jade carving grapes donated by Professor Camel to the "Benevolence Society". On the next trip, the jade grapes were not brought back, but the general manager and accounting manager of the "luxury hotel" were brought back. The faces of the two senior executives of the hotel were as white as paper, they were sweating like soybeans, they were out of their minds, they were out of their minds, and their legs were weak even when they walked.It turned out that General Mengoli's chief guard and accountant manager opened the safe numbered 103, but there was nothing in it, and the bunch of jade grapes had disappeared. The hotel's safe was stolen, which would affect the credibility of the small matter, but General Mongoli was waiting to see that treasure was a major matter!It is the insurance company's business to compensate the guests. The question is, how to explain it to General Mengoli? The general manager and accounting manager of a "luxury hotel" are both pampered jobs. If their jobs are ruined, they don't have to go to other places. Will they be able to raise their heads in Mexico City in the future? When the camel heard the police motorcycle approaching, it showed an extremely naive appearance, clapped its hands, and said to General Mengoli: "The treasure I donated has been delivered. I believe General Mengoli can tell it is Priceless!" General Mongoli was naturally happy. He waited for several hours just to admire this treasure. "It's stolen..." the general manager said out of breath, with a mournful face, just short of crying. The head of the guard of General Mongoli had the image of "dog fighting against others", pointing and saying, "I brought you here so that you can explain it yourself!" "What was stolen?" Camel asked stupidly. "Professor Camel, the safe you rented is empty!" said the chief guard. The camel's face darkened at first, then he wrinkled his nose upturned and said with a grin, "You're kidding..." "Really, it's empty!" said the chief guard. The camel was dazed intentionally, and suddenly roared to the general manager: "The priceless Chinese antiques will be lost in the safe in your hotel? Isn't this a big joke?" "Professor Luotuo, did you take it out...?" the account manager asked while wiping his sweat. "Anyone who wants to enter the vault has to go through the gate of the account room. The key is in your hand. Huh, you must be the one who stole it yourself! I just got my bronze medal and used it for the first time when I went out today!" "Ah, my God..." General Mongoli also lost his temper in disappointment, and said, "What's going on? Please tell me what happened!" "As soon as the safe rented by Professor Luo Tuo was opened, the antiques stored in it disappeared!" The head guard spread his hands and said, "We made a trip for nothing!" "We didn't find any suspicious signs..." The general manager had a frown, and there was no way to explain it. "General Mengoli! Is the security situation in Mexico City so bad?" Camel turned to the old man and said in a sarcasm tone: "Fortunately, I originally planned to donate this ancient relic to the 'Society of Mercy'! The thief took it away, I can only say that I have done my best!" "Notify the police station and ask the chief to come and see me!" General Mongolli ordered. "General! It's a big deal for Zhang Yang to go out, the 'luxury hotel' is about to close..." The general manager kept bowing. "We have our own detectives in the hotel!" said the room manager. "Where is Zhan Tianba? After the incident, I didn't see his shadow!" The general manager still wanted to speak bureaucratically to the manager. "Zhan Tianba accompanied a lady surnamed He to the Bangba Reservoir to participate in the 'Monte Carlo Night'..." said the manager. "So it's here?" "It should be here!" "Then don't you hurry up and get him?" "Damn you both!" General Mongoli scolded. "During the World's Fair, you disgraced the country!" "I'm willing to give a big reward to get the treasure back! Which one of you will be responsible for me?" Camel asked. "We must be responsible!" The general manager rushed to say. General Mongoli showed himself to be a sensible person. He comforted the camel and said, "They should have the responsibility to find the lost property, and you don't need to pay a reward. No matter what the circumstances, your righteous deed, on behalf of the 'Society of Mercy' 'Thank you, the letter of thanks will be delivered within a few days! As for this unpleasant incident, I apologize to you on behalf of the people of Mocheng!" "It's wrong to disappoint General Mongoli!" said the camel. "Alas!" General Mongolli stomped his feet, and he was about to leave. General Mongoli's departure from the "Empress Hotel" seemed to be a big event. His chief guard had already spread the word. General Goli's distinguished guests rushed over to see him off. Especially some so-called dignitaries who were waiting to be summoned by General Mongoli. If they came forward, it would be good to meet or wave to General Mongoli.But General Mongoli's face was livid, and he was not happy to greet anyone or even nod. The camel also followed General Mongoli to see him off, and he was the only one who could be sent to General Mongoli's car. His status seemed to be quite special, and General Mongoli bowed to him before getting into the car. . "Goodbye!" He waved his hand, and the car tooted away.The police motorcycle was wailing to clear the way for him again... The camel was smiling and complacent, and all the people present looked at him with envious eyes. The general manager and account manager of the "Luxury Hotel" had the opposite attitude. They were in despair, and the waiters of the "Empress Hotel" helped them find the whereabouts of Zhan Tianba. Zhan Tianba came to the Bangba Reservoir as a bodyguard for He Xiniti's cosmetic box. He never dreamed that the bunch of jade grapes stolen from the safe of the "luxury hotel" was hidden in the cosmetic box he mentioned. .He protected this thing and left Mocheng to Bangba Reservoir. Up to now, he was still kept in the dark. After passing the message by the waiter of the "Empress Hotel", Zhan Tianba hurried downstairs and met his two immediate superiors in the reception room. These two usually domineering managers are now as anxious as ants on a hot pot, looking battered. Seeing Zhan Tianba, the manager of the accountant said: "Oh, your task is to be responsible for the security of the 'luxury hotel', to prevent bad guys from entering the hotel, to maintain the reputation of the hotel, and to ensure the safety of valuable guests' belongings... ...Who told you to serve a female customer, and ran to Bangba Reservoir?" Zhan Tianba replied: "I serve Ms. He with the special permission of Mr. Si Li. You said she is a special female guest..." "Oh, the hotel safe was stolen..." "What's missing?" "One of the Chinese treasures of Professor Luo Tuo is the bunch of jade grapes!" "Who stole the safe?" "Are you asking me? You are the detective of the hotel, and you should be responsible for catching the thief..." The manager of the accountant said angrily, "Oh, some villains have sneaked into the hotel!" "The safe that Professor Camel rented is No. 103. Was it opened? Or was it opened with a prepared key? There should be some traces left..." "Bah! You're talking nonsense here, why don't you go back and investigate!" the general manager said. Zhan Tianba was also in a bit of a hurry. The safe in the "luxury hotel" was stolen, which related to his job. If the lost property could not be recovered, he would no longer have his role as a hotel detective in the future. Which one? How dare the hotel hire him as a detective?Therefore, Zhan Tianba has no time to bid farewell to He Xini, so he hurriedly followed the hotel's general manager and account manager back to Mexico City to investigate the theft of the safe. He Xini is considering its provenance.The safe rented by the camel has been declared stolen, so it is not safe to keep it by your side. If someone finds it, it will be considered as stolen goods. Hand it over. Fortunately, the theft of the safe in the "luxury hotel" was not made public. This matter concerns the reputation of the hotel, and it is also related to the displeasure of the "Society of Mercy" and General Mongoli. next. Luo Tuo once took care of He Xini, and the best person to "plant" is Qiu Yisen or Zuo Luntai.Both of them are important opponents for the camels, and if they can defeat an opponent, they will miss an obstacle. As far as Luo Tuo knows, Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai are both self-admired characters. With He Xini's beauty, it is not difficult to lure one of them into the trap, let's see who will be unlucky first?
In a special battle of wits and gambling in the "Gathering of Three Heroes", Luo Tuo always has the upper hand over Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai. The outsiders present were related to Renmei and He Xini.The camel also used them as "scapegoats" and tools for dealing cards.Guan Renmei is "well-informed" and was careful to guard against someone cheating, but finally she played a trick, which gave the camel an excuse and ended the game as a victor. Guan Renmei doubts He Xini's identity because she booked the hotel suite.This young girl has been flaunting her wealth and social status. According to this kind of behavior, she is in the same line as Camel, and she is mostly a liar. Maybe she is the henchman of Camel. The card was issued by her cheating.Therefore, Guan Renmei is determined to investigate He Xini in an attempt to reveal her false face. When General Mongoli arrived at the "Empress Hotel", He Xini avoided him, otherwise she would make a fool of herself in public, because she once pretended to be a family friend with General Mongoli. Guan Renmei stayed in He Xini's suite and did not leave. She took the joke card as a topic and discussed with He Xini where the joke card came from. Why did it fall into the hands of the camel? He Xini categorically denied that she was aware of it, and this weird gamble was the first time she had watched it in her life. "According to my opinion, you are definitely not a kind person!" Guan Renmei said abruptly. He Xini was stunned for a long time but couldn't say a word, she thought to herself, this little girl is so arrogant, and she is so bold in her words! "How dare you say that I'm not a good person?" He Xini said calmly and in a protesting tone. "You and the camel are in collusion!" "Professor Luo Tuo and I have never met before. We only met in the 'luxury hotel' in Mexico City!" "Isn't it intended to be arranged like this?" He Xini lowered her face and said, "I can sue you for slander!" Guan Renmei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. My guardian Zuo Luntai is a world-renowned sharpshooter. He is eager to find someone to fight with. I believe that the old liar Luo Tuo will stand up for you in the end!" "You even slandered Professor Camel!" "The old liar nicknamed 'Hidden Soul' is not a big deal. He can deceive all living beings, but he is still timid in the face of Zuo Luntai's marksmanship!" Guan Renmei said. "I'm going to call my bodyguard!" He Xini picked up the phone receiver, trying to intimidate her. But Guan Renmei didn't care, and said, "Just please!" He Xini saw that she couldn't sell her plan, so she threw down the receiver and said, "There is no grievance or enmity between us, why do we have to fight against each other?" Guan Renmei giggled, and said, "I pointed out that you and Luo Tuo are colluding with each other. If you don't know the background of Luo Tuo, why should you be so nervous? It's obviously a guilty conscience, and you're letting yourself go." .Miss He, I don't want you to wade into this muddy water. If you get caught in the whirlpool, you will be hard to extricate yourself from. Don't say I didn't warn you!" He Xini thought in her heart, Guan Renmei is not an easy girl, she just needs to find someone to "plant", Guan Renmei is Zuo Luntai's adoptive daughter, and she happened to come to her door automatically, why don't you give her a little trouble first eat eat! As He Xini thought about it, she giggled sillily, leaned back and forth, and said, "Miss Guan, you are amazing!" Guan Renmei said: "I just have a foresight!" He Xini said: "I admire your unique vision. We are not good people, but I am not as bad as you imagined. There is nothing between the liar Luo Tuo and me, but the purpose of my coming to Mexico City is to Looking for capable people, among them, the camel is one of my targets! So I always want to take the opportunity to get close to him!" Guan Renmei didn't understand, and said, "What's your plan?" He Xini waved her hand, and mysteriously locked the door first, and said, "I don't know if you can abide by morality and not reveal my secret?" "Let's talk about the secret first!" "No! You have to promise not to reveal my secret first!" "If it is reasonable, I will not violate morality!" "I have a big case to work on!" Guan Renmei was taken aback, she didn't expect that He Xini, who was about the same age as her, was also a gangster!Acting calmly on purpose, he said, "Which type of case does it belong to?" He Xini beckoned Guan Renmei to come to her bed, took out her jewelry box from under the pillow, and opened it, only to see a gauze scarf wrapped in a ball of shiny things. Unwrapping the scarf, it turned out to be an antique. It turned out to be a bunch of jade-carved grapes, with distinct fruits and branches.The grapes are white and translucent, and the slender stems of the branches and leaves are like living leaves.Set off by an ivory holder, it seems very precious and valuable. "Is this an antique?" Guan Renmei picked it up and looked at it. "This can be said to be a sample!" "What kind of business samples?" "There are hundreds of antique warehouses of the same value, waiting for us to pick them up!" "Is there such a thing in the world?" "The so-called antique warehouse is the private showroom of an antique collector. He is an upstart who has a hobby of collecting antiques. It is to show off his wealth! I took out this sample just to find a master to cooperate with. , camels are naturally one of my best targets! He has a lot of capable people, 'there are many soldiers and generals'. But I have heard that camels are 'eat people without spitting out bones', if it is done, he will give me Come to 'black eat black', I will call the sky should not call the earth not working! Miss Guan, you came at the right time, Mr. Zuo Luntai is also an expert, if you are interested, we will add two to five, and no one will take advantage of it Who's cheap!" He Xini said eloquently, as if it was true. Guan Renmei thought and hesitated.She thought in her heart that Zuo Luntai came to Mocheng just to steal treasures.The "International Expo" in Mexico City is a major event every four years in the country of Mexico. Stealing treasures from the Expo is tantamount to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. Moreover, there is an old fox Qiu Yisen as a big escort, and a camel as a hindrance. It is not easy to succeed in stealing treasures with the ability to make enemies left and right! The reason why Zuo Luntai took such a risk was to defend the Zhu family of "Manshan Farm".To put it more simply, it is for Zhu Daishi.In Zuo Luntai's plan, the stolen treasure can "shock the earth", cause a sensation in Mexico City, attract the attention of General Mengoli, and then appeal for the Zhu family's grievances, and settle a lawsuit.In fact, the lawsuit against "Manshan Farm" only needs money, and money is a magic weapon, so you don't have to worry about going to General Mongoli! If what He Xini said is true, this is a shortcut to make a lot of money without much risk, and there will be no people like Luo Tuo and Qiu Yisen to oppose it. Seeing Guan Renmei's hesitation, He Xini guessed that she was a little tempted, so she said, "Do you want to discuss it with your adoptive father?" "Zuo Luntai is not my adoptive father, he is just my guardian!" Guan Renmei replied seriously. "It doesn't matter if it's your guardian, do you want to consult with him?" "I still need to know the whole truth!" "If you have any questions, just ask!" "where?" "Not far from Mexico City, an hour's flight, it's like another independent small kingdom!" "Who is the master?" "It's a well-known upstart named Lin Bian Shui. In this city, everyone who mentions Lin Bian Shui's name knows it. He is a big native!" "What is the total value of the antiques?" "It's hard to estimate, you know, some ancient objects are priceless, let's temporarily set the reserve price in the millions of dollars!" Guan Renmei was really tempted, and asked again: "Is it convenient to do things?" "If you act according to the plan, plus Zuo Luntai and your wisdom, it can be said to be effortless!" "So, you already have a comprehensive plan?" "It can be said that, but we still have to conduct a comprehensive study of the plan and Zuo Luntai to ensure nothing goes wrong!" "Can you tell me the plan in general?" "No! That would be a waste of time and effort. We have to obtain Zuo Luntai's consent before conducting research. Otherwise, if the secret is leaked and used as a blueprint by another third party, my loss will be great!" Guan Renmei shook her head and said: "Zuo Luntai will not rashly agree to cooperate with you before he learns the details!" "You just have to show this bunch of jade grapes to Zuo Luntai, he is a man of knowledge, so he will naturally be interested!" Guan Renmei frowned and said, "Why don't you tell me the plan?" "I think it's better to negotiate directly with Zuo Luntai!" He Xini urged, "It's not that I don't trust you, I can give you the jade grapes and let you give them to Zuo Luntai for review, if Zuo Luntai is interested If so, let’s talk about the second step of the plan!” Guan Renmei was hesitant, but she couldn't stand He Xini's repeated instigation. Finally, she took the bunch of jade grapes, still wrapped them in gauze, and wrapped them in waste newspapers, intending to send them to Zuo Luntai for review. Holding the package in her hand, she came back to the casino downstairs and ran all over the place, but she didn't see Zuo Luntai's shadow. At this time, Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai had a crush on each other, and they followed Luo Tuo, because Luo Tuo planned to leave the Bangba Reservoir after General Mongoli left.He was waiting in front of the parking lot for the transportation car sent by the hotel. 关人美遍寻左轮泰不见，手中提着一只大纸包又有点不大方便，于是，她便将它交给了贮物间，领取了一只对号领物的铜牌。 是时，朱黛诗也进入了“皇后酒店”，她告诉关人美，她被一无聊男子盯梢！关人美看见林淼那一副傻头傻脑的样子，心中就感到好笑。她可以看得出，林淼虽是西装笔挺，可是仍带着土味，很可能是一位土财主子弟，他不会是猎艳能手，也不是色狼之流。 经关人美锐利的目光向他不断地上下打量时，林淼立刻脸红耳赤，回避开了。 “这只是一个傻小子，你别理会他就行了！”关人美关照朱黛诗说：“假如他有越轨的行动，我会给他苦头吃的！”
邦坝水库的慈善豪赌是通宵达旦举行的，凡被邀请的贵宾，每一个人凭帖上的餐券，可以领取一客大餐。进餐的时间不拘，贵客高兴在什么时间去享受那客大餐都可以，只要将餐券交给侍者，餐点就会送到，甚至于边赌边吃也行。但饮料方面，却是需要贵客们自掏腰包的，特别是各类的美酒还要加税。 左轮泰好忙了一阵子，也觉得饥肠辘辘，他暂时还不想离开邦坝水库。 他猜想骆驼的离去，可能是逃避他和仇奕森两人的纠缠，但是骆驼的党羽却一定是仍留在邦坝水库做侦察工作。知己知彼始能百战百胜，左轮泰得继续了解骆驼手底下人的活动，同时，左轮泰自己也很需要知道邦坝水力发电厂输电的情形。当前最大的问题，还是如何摆脱仇奕森那“老狐狸”，这老家伙也不容易对付。 左轮泰有信心能对付仇奕森，是因为仇奕森并不代表墨城警方，他只是凭个人的义气，为朋友担掮道义，所以做了博览会的保镖。掼倒仇奕森，只要有特别的诡计即行。
关人美总算在餐厅里找到左轮泰。他要了一杯双份的白兰地，正在用餐。 关人美在他的身畔坐下，侍者过来，她交出了餐券，一面悄悄地告诉左轮泰，她和贺希妮的一席谈话。关人美很天真的认为这是一桩好买卖，不必冒很大的风险，许多的问题都可迎刃解决。 左轮泰怔着，他觉得事情绝不是这么回事，问题之中另有问题。 “那串玉葡萄现在在什么地方？”他急切问。 “很安全，我将它存到了贮物间，不会丢的！”关人美举着手中的领物铜牌说。 左轮泰摇头说：“问题并不简单，假如说，贺希妮那小妞儿和骆驼是有关连的话，那么这是一种栽赃的手法，那串玉葡萄不知道是由什么地方弄来的，打算嫁祸于你，这样就将我牵制住了！” 关人美有点吃惊，说：“你为什么会有这样的想法呢？” 左轮泰说：“这是最下流的江湖手法，我们和一个骗子接触，就得步步小心，要不然，随时都会进圈套！” 关人美说：“假如骆驼有胆量这样做，岂不是等于向你宣战了吗？” “要不然，骆驼就是有计划地企图将我引开，好让他单独坐享其成！这两种想法，其中必有一项是对的！”左轮泰说。 “但是也或者贺希妮所说的是真话，林边水真有其人其事！” 左轮泰呆了半晌，说：“假如说林边水拥有如此大的收藏，必定也是一位名人，朱黛诗应该会知道其人，向她打听一下就可以了解底细了！” 关人美有点着急，说：“待我去把朱黛诗小姐找来！” 左轮泰忙说：“你得将铜牌留下！” 关人美不解，说：“为什么呢？” “假如这是骆驼的栽赃手法，那么你已经成为他们的箭靶子，随时都会有危险！” “铜牌留给你，你不也会有危险吗？” “我会对付！”
关人美离开之后，左轮泰将那只领物铜牌压在餐碟底下，大敌当前，他得随时提高警觉，慎防堕入圈套，中了奸计。 关人美虽说是要替左轮泰找寻朱黛诗，打听林边水其人其事，但她偷空却又溜上楼去了。 关人美是企图找贺希妮算帐去的，假如贺希妮真是骆驼的党羽，有计划栽赃谋算她的话，她绝不饶她。 关人美仗着艺高胆大，平日就不肯吃任何的明亏，这是生活环境造成她有着一种狂野不羁的性格，贺希妮的表面看似弱质纤纤，一副娇滴滴的样子，关人美心想，“修理”她是绝不会有问题的。 她匆匆忙忙又来到贺希妮的套房，可是贺希妮早已离房他去，值班该层楼的侍者也不知道贺希妮到什么地方去了！ 关人美扑了个空，心中懊恼不迭，她重新下楼来到赌厅，四下找寻了一遍，仍然没看见贺希妮的影子。贺希妮那里去了呢？ 贺希妮将玉葡萄交到关人美的手中后，满以为奸计已告得逞，她将经过情形透过常老么，向骆驼作了一番报告。 骆驼认为贺希妮太过莽撞，太操之过急了，左轮泰和关人美都不是“善男信女”，怎会轻易上当呢？骆驼认为栽赃的手法不对，这在骗术中是至为劣等的技术，假如说，能让关人美自动将玉葡萄偷走，那么手段就高了。不过贺希妮既然已经这样做了，骆驼也无可奈何，谁叫他在事前没给贺希妮一番授计呢？ 骆驼吩咐常老么关照贺希妮，命贺希妮迅速离开“豪华酒店”，以免被“倒打一耙”！
“豪华酒店”的保险箱失窃，骆驼教授锁在保险箱内的一件无价宝物不翼而飞，这关系了该酒店的信誉，同时，又牵上了蒙戈利将军的关系，酒店的总经理和帐房司理为了自己的差事着想，再三磋商，决意央人走蒙戈利将军的门道，请蒙戈利将军暂息雷霆，宽以时日，绝对破案将“原物归赵”。 占天霸越查案子越是糊涂，酒店里的保险箱是什么时候失窃的，窃贼又是用什么方法打开保险箱将宝物窃走？全寻不出答案。 占天霸翻阅顾客登记的名册，计算失窃的可能时间，再按名册逐个查询，藉以寻出可疑的人犯。但是总经理没批准让他这样做，他认为占天霸这样做，非但会得罪客人，而且还会将流言扩大，到时候更收不了场了。占天霸正好有了藉口，总经理不让他以科学方法侦查，就无法破案了。 总经理发雷霆也没有用，占天霸一口咬定是住在“豪华酒店”里的住客盗窃的，假如时间赶得上，也许赃物还留在酒店内，搜赃还来得及。可是那位总经理哪敢让占天霸这样做呢？在商言商，以顾客至上，得罪顾客是最不智之举。 他们求教于保险公司，保险公司认为在要求赔偿之先，一定得先透过警方的证明，否则拒绝承认此窃案之发生。 责任问题好像是双方在踢皮球，踢过来滚过去，谁也搞不清楚……。
邦坝水库的“皇后酒店”内，慈善豪赌仍在进行。 关人美寻着朱黛诗和雷兰兰。左轮泰是要找朱黛诗打听林边水的事情，可是朱黛诗的背后却跟着一个林淼。 朱黛诗坐进了餐厅，林淼也相随坐进餐厅。他们之间的坐位，只相隔一张餐桌，但却甚影响左轮泰他们的谈话。 关人美抢先向左轮泰报告朱黛诗被“色狼”盯梢。左轮泰先打量了林淼一番，初时，他怀疑林淼是仇奕森或是骆驼所派的“眼线”。但是林淼的那副“德性”，由头至脚也不像是一个“行家”，更不像是吃公事饭的“便衣”。 “癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉，别理会他就行了！”左轮泰说着，忽地露出了笑脸，说：“也许这是天上掉下来的一只肥鸭，可以供我们利用，在墨城这地方，能广交人缘也是好的！” 朱黛诗不懂左轮泰的意思，但是关人美却是一点即通。 朱黛诗这时看着左轮泰的一副形色，纳闷不已，忍耐不住，便问：“为什么称为是天上掉下来的一只肥鸭子呢？” 左轮泰说：“男女之间的爱情，有一种是天长地久，海枯石烂，专情不二；另外一种，称之为'爱情的点心'，如同游戏人间，供着玩的，有这种大好的机会送上门，不等于像是天上掉下来的肥鸭子吗？” 朱黛诗摇头说：“我不懂得你的意思。” 左轮泰说：“我们现在正感到人手不够，需要有自愿供我们跑腿的人物，人选的对象，是傻头傻脑，在社会上又略有金钱地位的人物！”他说时，眼睛瞟了林淼一眼。 朱黛诗咽了口气，连忙摇首说：“你的意思要我勾引那个人为我们做恶事？噢，不……”
这时，赌厅方面发生了一点不愉快的事情。 原来是金燕妮的哥哥金京华也到“皇后酒店”参加“蒙地卡罗之夜”。他的那位酒肉朋友私家侦探华莱士范伦也追踪而至，华莱士范伦原是迷恋着某一间赌场的筹码女郎的，是夜，该筹码女郎也被调用在“皇后酒店”之内。 华莱士范伦需要在该女郎面前摆阔，所以向金京华借赌资，金京华身边所带的现款不多，头一次借给华莱士范伦二百元，不及他押了两注就输了个精光，华莱士范伦再借，金京华不得已打了回票。华莱士范伦正好借题发挥，和金京华起了争执。 “你聘我做私家侦探保护博览商展会的宝物展出，我以最低廉的收费，纯是看在老朋友的份上，而你呢，又结交江湖上黑道的朋友，另搞名堂将我蒙在鼓里，你们掩掩藏藏的，到底在搞什么鬼？我连一点也不知道，假如说你对我感到不满的话，我们的委托就到此为止了！” 金京华连忙解释说：“我们交朋友不是一天了，最近生意做得不顺利，你又不是不知道，至于博览会的安全委托费，你早已经借支一空……” 华莱士范伦不乐，说：“博览会展出的古物是无价之宝，你所给我的委托费用，又是多少呢？” “可是我们在事前，双方说得很明白，还签有合约的！” “那时候，我们是朋友！” “现在就不是朋友了吗？” “现在你有那个姓仇的给你做保镖，就不需要我了。我们就到此为止！” 金京华生了气，说：“你已经支取全部报酬，怎可以中途毁约？” “不交朋友就没什么信义可言了！” 他俩争吵愈来越烈，引起了赌厅中一些赌客注意，何立克和金燕妮刚好进入“皇后酒店”，打算向仇奕森报告下午观察所得之资料。金燕妮发现她的哥哥正在大庭广众中和华莱士范伦发生争吵，赶忙上前去劝阻。何立克拦阻了华莱士范伦，金燕妮则将金京华拖进了餐厅。 那楞头楞脑的林淼和何立克是相识的。当何立克进餐厅去寻找金燕妮时，林淼赶忙迎上去打招呼。 左轮泰看见金京华兄妹两人，又看见林淼和他们凑在一起，心中更有把握。 餐厅里顿时热闹起来，金京华交游甚广，平日结交的酒肉朋友甚多，每在热闹场合有酒饮的地方，总可以遇着金京华的那些酒肉朋友。金京华看见左轮泰甚为尊敬，特地上前一鞠躬，并招呼酒吧，特别开了一瓶香槟送到左轮泰的桌上。 关人美说：“姓金的对你如此尊敬，倒会使你觉得不好意思了！” 左轮泰笑了起来，说：“不管在任何情况下，我的意志不会轻易动摇的！” 他立刻吩咐侍者，回敬金京华两瓶白兰地。 这时，左轮泰不厌其详地向朱黛诗查询暴发户林边水的底细。 朱黛诗生长在墨城，林边水其人其事听闻之传说多矣，可是这鼎鼎大名的暴发户，朱黛诗却从未见过。她说：“假如有机会，我倒真想看看这位暴发户究竟'土'到什么样的一个程度？” “林边水真的是一位古玩收藏家吗？”左轮泰问。 “据说，他所收藏的古玩可以和蒙戈利将军比美！”朱黛诗正色说：“曾经有一次，林边水为了炫耀他的珍藏，大排筵席宴请富豪贤达，公开展览他的宝库，蒙戈利将军也躬逢其盛，彼此之间还发生了不愉快的争执！” 左轮泰说：“据你所知，在林边水的宝库之中，有什么古玩是最著名的？” 朱黛诗抬头想了想，说：“慈禧太后的翡翠马桶！据说是一个著名的骗子请一位名家仿造的，被林边水高价抢购而去！” 左轮泰失声而笑，几乎将刚啜进口的香槟酒全喷了出来。 “你向我打听这些，莫非又是在转什么念头？”朱黛诗反问。 左轮泰说：“我对古玩一向是极感兴趣的！” “墨城的事件还没开始，就准备好下一步骤了吗？” “以常理推断，假如一个人赚的是辛苦钱，不会将大把的钞票花费在古物上，以历史文物来标榜自己的财富，这种东西，可以说是多余的，见者有份！我反正闲着也是闲着，有了下一步骤，头一件事就会进行很快，尽早结束！”
仇奕森也发现贺希妮的身分有问题，企图盘她的底子，所以不惜下工本去进行调查，他由“皇后酒店”开始着手，发现贺希妮所订的房间，是由墨城的“豪华酒店”代订的。邦坝水库的“皇后酒店”与墨城的“豪华酒店”原是有着连锁生意的，所以互相订房都很方便。大骗子骆驼也是住在墨城的“豪华酒店”里。 仇奕森心想，假如贺希妮着实是骆驼的黛羽的话，应该不可能会这样笨，住在同一间酒店里。不过，骆驼的足迹遍及天下，他的骗术花样百出，他的要诀是“真真假假，假假真真，疑真似假，疑假似真。”经常会使人捉摸不透的。所以，贺希妮的真实身分，不能因她住在“豪华酒店”里而下定论。 仇奕森再进一步，请“皇后酒店”的职员拨电话到墨城的“豪华酒店”去打听。但这时“豪华酒店”乱得一团糟，据说是出了极大的纰漏，整间酒店上下的员工神不守舍，连一个负责人也寻不着。 至于出纰漏的内容，该酒店的职员守口如瓶，拒绝吐露。 仇奕森的调查不得要领，只有暂时放弃，待回墨城再说。 他在赌厅里巡了一下，进入餐厅，左轮泰首先和他打招呼。金京华对仇奕森也颇为尊敬，连忙起立让坐，并介绍林淼相见。金燕妮立刻报告华莱士范伦和金京华发生争执的经过。 仇奕森愁眉不展，说：“华莱士范伦是一个小人，以后要多加小心！” 金京华忙加以解释说：“我和华莱士是老朋友了，吵闹是经常会有的事，他不会做对不起我的事情的！” 仇奕森说：“在当前的情况下，我们的处境如同是四面楚歌，我们要防君子，也要防小人，最要避免节外生枝！” 金京华为自己的颜面，不便在林淼和何立克的面前多说什么，装着饮酒，将问题打发过去。 仇奕森“转台子”来到左轮泰的坐位跟前。关人美和朱黛诗他都曾经见过，就好像是老朋友般的一一打了招呼。左轮泰招呼他坐下，一面为他斟了香槟酒。 “你打听贺希妮那妞儿可有什么收获？”左轮泰先道破仇奕森的行踪，显露出他的智慧。 仇奕森并不介意，一耸肩说：“目前还捉摸不透，贺希妮在墨城和骆驼住在同一间酒店！” “'豪华酒店'吗？”左轮泰侧首说，心中也在盘算其中的奥秘。“你有什么高见？” 仇奕森说：“很难说，骆驼这老妖怪向来是鬼计多端的，他的作为很难捉摸！” “'豪华酒店'应该可以吐露一点消息！” “'豪华酒店'出了大纰漏，酒店现正一团乱，当事人可能正在大伤脑筋呢！” “怎样的纰漏呢？” “不知道，没有人肯吐露！” 左轮泰格格笑了起来，说：“老妖怪骆驼所到之处，没有一个地方是安宁的！” 仇奕森一怔，好像是被左轮泰一语提醒，“豪华酒店”所出的纰漏可能与骆驼有关，也或是骆驼故意制造事端，是一种“声东击西”的手法，有意吸引他人转移注意力。“嗯，可能就是这样……”他喃喃说。 “我们已经在邦坝水库见过面了，你可以看出骆驼有什么动静和计划吗？” 仇奕森说：“骆驼手底下还有三个能人还未露面，飞贼孙阿七，九只手查大妈，大力士彭虎，我想，计划是在他们三个人的身上，也说不定现在，他们三个人正在活动之中。” 左轮泰取笑说：“仇奕森居然会放他们三个人自由活动，可谓难得！” 仇奕森叹息说：“我人势孤单，徒呼奈何！” “你有金京华的私家侦探可以借用，怎说得上孤单？” “年轻的小伙子除了酒色财气之外，什么经验也没有，怎会是老骗子骆驼的对手呢？假如有你和我合伙，相信击败骆驼该不成问题了！” 左轮泰不置可否，只吃吃而笑。 关人美却插口说：“想不到，一向不求人的仇奕森，竟然拉拢手段还满高明的！” 是时，林淼正在向金京华打听朱黛诗，他说：“坐在姓仇的身边的那位女郎是什么人？” 金京华再三打量朱黛诗，只不断地摇头，说：“搞不清楚，我只知道那个蓄小胡子的叫做左轮泰，是一位闻名的神枪手！” “你和他们好像很有交情，进门就送过去一瓶香槟酒！” “礼尚往来，他不立刻就还我两瓶白兰地吗？” “我很想结识那个女的……”林淼喃喃说。 “嗨，想不到林淼也变成猎艳的能手了，你什么时候开始学会的？” 林淼的脸上不禁一红，很不自在地说：“我是相信命运的，我想这是缘份！” 金燕妮插嘴说：“和左轮泰混在一起的，差不多都是'女江湖'，你最好少沾为上！” “弱质纤纤，端庄秀丽，可以看得出必定受过良好教育，不可能是一个下流社会的人物，你看差眼了！” “既然这样，何不请仇叔叔替你介绍，他和左轮泰挺热络的！”何立克说。 林淼搔着头皮说：“家父研究'麻布柳庄'，我对相法也很熟稔，这位小姐相貌堂堂，以相法说，可以贵为一品夫人，旺夫益子，有帮夫运，将来儿女成群，会大大的发迹的。” “既然这样，舍妹'穿针引线'最有办法，请她为你牵线，包你马到成功，我们等着吃你的喜酒就是了！”金京华说。 林淼有点忸怩，向金燕妮一揖，说：“就拜托你了！” 金燕妮呶嘴说：“这种事情，有花花公子参与其中不会有好结果的，你假如真的希望谱一曲凤求凰，趁早别和一些浪荡子在一起，否则，成事不足败事有余！” 林淼知道金燕妮指的是金京华，他兄妹俩一直是不和的，只有含笑说：“金京华在外面玩，向来'盗亦有道'，从不会横刀夺爱的！” “我从未听说过有不抢食的饿狗！”金燕妮说。 赌厅里忽地起了一阵喧闹，原来是夏落红押轮盘赌，连中三元之后一把输光，旁观者为他惋惜。 夏落红一把输光也面不改色，好像对输赢没当一回事，他说：“赢了，是意外之财，轮了，当捐作慈善事业，我们本就是为慈善捐款而来的！” 仇奕森和左轮泰仍在针锋相对，他们坐在一起饮酒，却是面和心不和，各怀鬼胎，互相在盘算。 仇奕森向左轮泰说：“夏落红故作招摇，招蜂引蝶，惹人注目，他的义父却早离开邦坝水库了，孙阿七和查大妈等人没有露面，你猜是什么道理？” 左轮泰说：“在真相未明之前，不作批评是最理智的，骆驼玩的噱头，不到最后揭晓，谁能明了真相呢？” 这时，有侍者举着灯牌穿行餐厅之中，灯牌上写着：“贺希妮小姐电话”几个字。
How could Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai believe that Luo Tuo had a date with General Mengoli?They also hurried downstairs. Especially Zuo Luntai's "Manshan Farm" issue, I really hope to have the opportunity to discuss with General Mongoli face to face, hoping that this special and powerful figure in Mexico City can understand the real situation, so as not to be deceived by his subordinates and ruined. reputation.He thought that General Mengoli would investigate the truth again because of this! At this time, there were many soldiers and policemen in the "Monte Carlo Night" venue, as if they were facing a big enemy. The number of entourage brought by General Mengoli was unknown. There were several colonels alone, and some guarded the door for him. , Armed neatly, covered with medals. The strange thing is that General Mongoli's appearance is not amazing. He is short and thin, with white eyebrows.With a big white beard, his eyebrows and beard almost covered his entire black face. If he was not fully armed, he would be a miserable old man. Holding a nanmu cane, the guards on both sides seemed to build a meat screen, for fear that the wind would blow him away. Who can get close to General Mongoli?He will be blocked by several people, he is the real "national treasure" of Mexico City, the symbol of the people of Mexico. After General Mengoli entered the "Queen's Hotel", he was immediately sent to a specially prepared VIP room.It was the most gorgeous guest room in the "Empress Hotel". It was decorated like a palace, and it was specially used for receiving state guests on weekdays.For the safety of General Mongoli, the security personnel had already checked over and over again, and some people were stationed under martial law. Anyone who wanted to enter the gate of this VIP room needed special permission. The camel threw a business card to the head of the guard and waited for an interview. Zuo Luntai and Qiu Yisen were waiting in the corridor, let's see what kind of stunt this old monster is doing? As if a miracle had happened, General Mongoli's bodyguard announced that General Mongoli would be the first to receive Professor Camel.As soon as the order was delivered, General Mongoli's entourage searched for the camels in the venue. In the imagination of General Mongoli's entourage, Professor Camel must be a great person, otherwise, many dignitaries were waiting, why did General Mongoli summon this little-known professor first. "Your Majesty has been waiting here!" When the camel came to the head of the guard, everyone was surprised.This person's appearance is not amazing, his appearance is not pleasing, he is short and thin, with a big bald head, two mouse eyes, a mustache with an upturned nose, and two big teeth showing,... "Put on the dragon robe Not like an emperor."what happened?Would General Mongoli be the first to summon such a figure? The camel came forward, and a button of the captain's military uniform was crooked, and the camel straightened it for him. The chief guard hurriedly gave a military salute and led the camels into the VIP room. Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai looked at each other, and smiled wryly at each other, wondering what kind of medicine is sold in the camel's gourd? "After all, it's Camel Chess, he can curry favor with the rich and powerful right away, which you and I can't do!" Qiu Yisen accosted Zuo Luntai. "Our methods are not despicable enough!" Zuo Luntai replied. "Depending on the situation, we have to work together to deal with this old monster!" Qiu Yisen said. "No! Our bets are tied, and neither will win!" Zuo Luntai said. "But we all lost to the old monster!" "That's a despicable method, using a joker to win, we can refuse to admit defeat!" Qiu Yisen said: "If you want to defeat the camel, we have to work together, otherwise there are not many chances!" Zuo Luntai laughed and said: "However, there is one thing worth reminding you of. After General Mengoli arrived at the 'Queen's Hotel', he first received the camel, which is enough to prove that the old monster has other ideas. In fact, I As long as the problem of 'Manshan Farm' is solved, there is no need to steal treasure. The key lies in General Mongoli. Maybe take the camel route, and you can directly negotiate with General Mongoli. If you get an understanding, the problem will be solved. It can save a lot of things!" Qiu Yisen was secretly surprised, and said, "So, you might have formed an alliance with the camel?" Zuo Luntai said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the friendship between the camel and General Mengoli. I don't know what kind of gimmick the old monster is putting on? How could he befriend General Mengoli? Maybe the old liar miscalculated , was kicked out of the door again!" Qiu Yisen also can't figure out what kind of medicine Luotuo sells. The old monster's "daoism" is unpredictable, and Qiu Yisen has to re-evaluate his bad idea. What kind of trick did the camel play?It turned out that he had sent a neat Chinese letter to the "Benevolence Society" before the event, stating that a Chinese antique would be donated to the "Benevolence Society" in lieu of a charitable donation.There are also supporting documents for this antique. It is printed on rice paper with batik dyeing pattern, which is antique. There are as many as five or six seals of oracle bone inscriptions and Zhongdingwen, which show that this ancient object has a history of thousands of years. celebrity testimonials. The camel requested that, for the sake of prudence, it would be best to hand it over to General Montgoli himself, and the location would be in the venue of the "Monte Carlo Night" "Queen's Hotel". The reason why the camels have to use Chinese fine brushwork is also very intentional, because General Mongoli is surrounded by villains who exercise power, and ordinary letters and official letters often fail to reach General Mongoli.The Chinese letters are completely incomprehensible to those who play power, and there are antique pictures attached to the letters. Surely some people who are good at currying will present them to General Mongoli for his review, and then find someone who understands Chinese characters to translate them. General Mongolli is at such a young age that he has already passed wine, sex and wealth, and his only hobby now is antiques.A piece of jade carving grapes carved in China for thousands of years aroused great interest of General Mongoli, especially an old Chinese professor who had never met was willing to donate voluntarily, so General Mongoli decided to come to the "Empress Hotel" to receive it in person The camel professor.
After the camels were introduced into the VIP room and General Mengoli shook hands to separate the guests and the hosts and sat down, the guards were busy pouring wine and passing cigars. The old general couldn't wait to see the antiquities donated by the camels. The camel calmly took out the bronze medal of the key to the "luxury hotel" safe from his pocket, handed it to General Mongoli with both hands, and said, "This bunch of jade grapes has a history of thousands of years. It has been buried in the earth several times and has been unearthed again , It’s priceless, I don’t dare to carry it with me casually, so I handed it to the trust safe in the tent of the ‘luxury hotel’, for the sake of safety!” Older people will have a childish temper. General Mongoli was a little disappointed. He rushed all the way from Mocheng to the Bangba Reservoir. He could not immediately appreciate this priceless Chinese antique. He stomped his feet and ordered the guards to The chief immediately drove to the "luxury hotel" in Mexico City to open the safe and bring back the original car of Yuputao. The chief guard didn't dare to be negligent, he didn't even dare to breathe, he hurriedly started his steps, got out of the "Queen's Hotel", boarded the car, ordered the police to use a motorcycle to clear the way for him, and drove towards Mocheng. It takes at least two or three hours to travel from Bangba Reservoir to Mexico City.During this period of time, Luo Tuo was at ease, chatting with General Mongoli, talking about the past and the present, he was eloquent, eloquent, and had a rich sense of humor, which often made General Mongoli very happy.General Mongoli also forgot about the other dignitaries he was due to receive. "Monte Carlo Night" is a charity gambling conference. The distinguished guests that General Montgoli needs to meet are nothing more than polite greetings.In terms of General Mongoli's status, he could refuse to receive other distinguished guests.The problem is, many high-society figures who are trying to curry favor with General Montgoli wonder who is Professor Camel?Why did General Mongoli attach so much importance to him?They completely took up the time when they should be able to get close to General Mongoli!
Two or three hours passed quickly. They rushed to the "Luxury Hotel" in Mexico City and turned back. General Mengoli was waiting to appreciate the Chinese thousand-year-old treasure jade carving grapes donated by Professor Camel to the "Benevolence Society". On the next trip, the jade grapes were not brought back, but the general manager and accounting manager of the "luxury hotel" were brought back. The faces of the two senior executives of the hotel were as white as paper, they were sweating like soybeans, they were out of their minds, they were out of their minds, and their legs were weak even when they walked.It turned out that General Mengoli's chief guard and accountant manager opened the safe numbered 103, but there was nothing in it, and the bunch of jade grapes had disappeared. The hotel's safe was stolen, which would affect the credibility of the small matter, but General Mongoli was waiting to see that treasure was a major matter!It is the insurance company's business to compensate the guests. The question is, how to explain it to General Mengoli? The general manager and accounting manager of a "luxury hotel" are both pampered jobs. If their jobs are ruined, they don't have to go to other places. Will they be able to raise their heads in Mexico City in the future? When the camel heard the police motorcycle approaching, it showed an extremely naive appearance, clapped its hands, and said to General Mengoli: "The treasure I donated has been delivered. I believe General Mengoli can tell it is Priceless!" General Mongoli was naturally happy. He waited for several hours just to admire this treasure. "It's stolen..." the general manager said out of breath, with a mournful face, just short of crying. The head of the guard of General Mongoli had the image of "dog fighting against others", pointing and saying, "I brought you here so that you can explain it yourself!" "What was stolen?" Camel asked stupidly. "Professor Camel, the safe you rented is empty!" said the chief guard. The camel's face darkened at first, then he wrinkled his nose upturned and said with a grin, "You're kidding..." "Really, it's empty!" said the chief guard. The camel was dazed intentionally, and suddenly roared to the general manager: "The priceless Chinese antiques will be lost in the safe in your hotel? Isn't this a big joke?" "Professor Luotuo, did you take it out...?" the account manager asked while wiping his sweat. "Anyone who wants to enter the vault has to go through the gate of the account room. The key is in your hand. Huh, you must be the one who stole it yourself! I just got my bronze medal and used it for the first time when I went out today!" "Ah, my God..." General Mongoli also lost his temper in disappointment, and said, "What's going on? Please tell me what happened!" "As soon as the safe rented by Professor Luo Tuo was opened, the antiques stored in it disappeared!" The head guard spread his hands and said, "We made a trip for nothing!" "We didn't find any suspicious signs..." The general manager had a frown, and there was no way to explain it. "General Mengoli! Is the security situation in Mexico City so bad?" Camel turned to the old man and said in a sarcasm tone: "Fortunately, I originally planned to donate this ancient relic to the 'Society of Mercy'! The thief took it away, I can only say that I have done my best!" "Notify the police station and ask the chief to come and see me!" General Mongolli ordered. "General! It's a big deal for Zhang Yang to go out, the 'luxury hotel' is about to close..." The general manager kept bowing. "We have our own detectives in the hotel!" said the room manager. "Where is Zhan Tianba? After the incident, I didn't see his shadow!" The general manager still wanted to speak bureaucratically to the manager. "Zhan Tianba accompanied a lady surnamed He to the Bangba Reservoir to participate in the 'Monte Carlo Night'..." said the manager. "So it's here?" "It should be here!" "Then don't you hurry up and get him?" "Damn you both!" General Mongoli scolded. "During the World's Fair, you disgraced the country!" "I'm willing to give a big reward to get the treasure back! Which one of you will be responsible for me?" Camel asked. "We must be responsible!" The general manager rushed to say. General Mongoli showed himself to be a sensible person. He comforted the camel and said, "They should have the responsibility to find the lost property, and you don't need to pay a reward. No matter what the circumstances, your righteous deed, on behalf of the 'Society of Mercy' 'Thank you, the letter of thanks will be delivered within a few days! As for this unpleasant incident, I apologize to you on behalf of the people of Mocheng!" "It's wrong to disappoint General Mongoli!" said the camel. "Alas!" General Mongolli stomped his feet, and he was about to leave. General Mongoli's departure from the "Empress Hotel" seemed to be a big event. His chief guard had already spread the word. General Goli's distinguished guests rushed over to see him off. Especially some so-called dignitaries who were waiting to be summoned by General Mongoli. If they came forward, it would be good to meet or wave to General Mongoli.But General Mongoli's face was livid, and he was not happy to greet anyone or even nod. The camel also followed General Mongoli to see him off, and he was the only one who could be sent to General Mongoli's car. His status seemed to be quite special, and General Mongoli bowed to him before getting into the car. . "Goodbye!" He waved his hand, and the car tooted away.The police motorcycle was wailing to clear the way for him again... The camel was smiling and complacent, and all the people present looked at him with envious eyes. The general manager and account manager of the "Luxury Hotel" had the opposite attitude. They were in despair, and the waiters of the "Empress Hotel" helped them find the whereabouts of Zhan Tianba. Zhan Tianba came to the Bangba Reservoir as a bodyguard for He Xiniti's cosmetic box. He never dreamed that the bunch of jade grapes stolen from the safe of the "luxury hotel" was hidden in the cosmetic box he mentioned. .He protected this thing and left Mocheng to Bangba Reservoir. Up to now, he was still kept in the dark. After passing the message by the waiter of the "Empress Hotel", Zhan Tianba hurried downstairs and met his two immediate superiors in the reception room. These two usually domineering managers are now as anxious as ants on a hot pot, looking battered. Seeing Zhan Tianba, the manager of the accountant said: "Oh, your task is to be responsible for the security of the 'luxury hotel', to prevent bad guys from entering the hotel, to maintain the reputation of the hotel, and to ensure the safety of valuable guests' belongings... ...Who told you to serve a female customer, and ran to Bangba Reservoir?" Zhan Tianba replied: "I serve Ms. He with the special permission of Mr. Si Li. You said she is a special female guest..." "Oh, the hotel safe was stolen..." "What's missing?" "One of the Chinese treasures of Professor Luo Tuo is the bunch of jade grapes!" "Who stole the safe?" "Are you asking me? You are the detective of the hotel, and you should be responsible for catching the thief..." The manager of the accountant said angrily, "Oh, some villains have sneaked into the hotel!" "The safe that Professor Camel rented is No. 103. Was it opened? Or was it opened with a prepared key? There should be some traces left..." "Bah! You're talking nonsense here, why don't you go back and investigate!" the general manager said. Zhan Tianba was also in a bit of a hurry. The safe in the "luxury hotel" was stolen, which related to his job. If the lost property could not be recovered, he would no longer have his role as a hotel detective in the future. Which one? How dare the hotel hire him as a detective?Therefore, Zhan Tianba has no time to bid farewell to He Xini, so he hurriedly followed the hotel's general manager and account manager back to Mexico City to investigate the theft of the safe. He Xini is considering its provenance.The safe rented by the camel has been declared stolen, so it is not safe to keep it by your side. If someone finds it, it will be considered as stolen goods. Hand it over. Fortunately, the theft of the safe in the "luxury hotel" was not made public. This matter concerns the reputation of the hotel, and it is also related to the displeasure of the "Society of Mercy" and General Mongoli. next. Luo Tuo once took care of He Xini, and the best person to "plant" is Qiu Yisen or Zuo Luntai.Both of them are important opponents for the camels, and if they can defeat an opponent, they will miss an obstacle. As far as Luo Tuo knows, Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai are both self-admired characters. With He Xini's beauty, it is not difficult to lure one of them into the trap, let's see who will be unlucky first?
In a special battle of wits and gambling in the "Gathering of Three Heroes", Luo Tuo always has the upper hand over Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai. The outsiders present were related to Renmei and He Xini.The camel also used them as "scapegoats" and tools for dealing cards.Guan Renmei is "well-informed" and was careful to guard against someone cheating, but finally she played a trick, which gave the camel an excuse and ended the game as a victor. Guan Renmei doubts He Xini's identity because she booked the hotel suite.This young girl has been flaunting her wealth and social status. According to this kind of behavior, she is in the same line as Camel, and she is mostly a liar. Maybe she is the henchman of Camel. The card was issued by her cheating.Therefore, Guan Renmei is determined to investigate He Xini in an attempt to reveal her false face. When General Mongoli arrived at the "Empress Hotel", He Xini avoided him, otherwise she would make a fool of herself in public, because she once pretended to be a family friend with General Mongoli. Guan Renmei stayed in He Xini's suite and did not leave. She took the joke card as a topic and discussed with He Xini where the joke card came from. Why did it fall into the hands of the camel? He Xini categorically denied that she was aware of it, and this weird gamble was the first time she had watched it in her life. "According to my opinion, you are definitely not a kind person!" Guan Renmei said abruptly. He Xini was stunned for a long time but couldn't say a word, she thought to herself, this little girl is so arrogant, and she is so bold in her words! "How dare you say that I'm not a good person?" He Xini said calmly and in a protesting tone. "You and the camel are in collusion!" "Professor Luo Tuo and I have never met before. We only met in the 'luxury hotel' in Mexico City!" "Isn't it intended to be arranged like this?" He Xini lowered her face and said, "I can sue you for slander!" Guan Renmei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. My guardian Zuo Luntai is a world-renowned sharpshooter. He is eager to find someone to fight with. I believe that the old liar Luo Tuo will stand up for you in the end!" "You even slandered Professor Camel!" "The old liar nicknamed 'Hidden Soul' is not a big deal. He can deceive all living beings, but he is still timid in the face of Zuo Luntai's marksmanship!" Guan Renmei said. "I'm going to call my bodyguard!" He Xini picked up the phone receiver, trying to intimidate her. But Guan Renmei didn't care, and said, "Just please!" He Xini saw that she couldn't sell her plan, so she threw down the receiver and said, "There is no grievance or enmity between us, why do we have to fight against each other?" Guan Renmei giggled, and said, "I pointed out that you and Luo Tuo are colluding with each other. If you don't know the background of Luo Tuo, why should you be so nervous? It's obviously a guilty conscience, and you're letting yourself go." .Miss He, I don't want you to wade into this muddy water. If you get caught in the whirlpool, you will be hard to extricate yourself from. Don't say I didn't warn you!" He Xini thought in her heart, Guan Renmei is not an easy girl, she just needs to find someone to "plant", Guan Renmei is Zuo Luntai's adoptive daughter, and she happened to come to her door automatically, why don't you give her a little trouble first eat eat! As He Xini thought about it, she giggled sillily, leaned back and forth, and said, "Miss Guan, you are amazing!" Guan Renmei said: "I just have a foresight!" He Xini said: "I admire your unique vision. We are not good people, but I am not as bad as you imagined. There is nothing between the liar Luo Tuo and me, but the purpose of my coming to Mexico City is to Looking for capable people, among them, the camel is one of my targets! So I always want to take the opportunity to get close to him!" Guan Renmei didn't understand, and said, "What's your plan?" He Xini waved her hand, and mysteriously locked the door first, and said, "I don't know if you can abide by morality and not reveal my secret?" "Let's talk about the secret first!" "No! You have to promise not to reveal my secret first!" "If it is reasonable, I will not violate morality!" "I have a big case to work on!" Guan Renmei was taken aback, she didn't expect that He Xini, who was about the same age as her, was also a gangster!Acting calmly on purpose, he said, "Which type of case does it belong to?" He Xini beckoned Guan Renmei to come to her bed, took out her jewelry box from under the pillow, and opened it, only to see a gauze scarf wrapped in a ball of shiny things. Unwrapping the scarf, it turned out to be an antique. It turned out to be a bunch of jade-carved grapes, with distinct fruits and branches.The grapes are white and translucent, and the slender stems of the branches and leaves are like living leaves.Set off by an ivory holder, it seems very precious and valuable. "Is this an antique?" Guan Renmei picked it up and looked at it. "This can be said to be a sample!" "What kind of business samples?" "There are hundreds of antique warehouses of the same value, waiting for us to pick them up!" "Is there such a thing in the world?" "The so-called antique warehouse is the private showroom of an antique collector. He is an upstart who has a hobby of collecting antiques. It is to show off his wealth! I took out this sample just to find a master to cooperate with. , camels are naturally one of my best targets! He has a lot of capable people, 'there are many soldiers and generals'. But I have heard that camels are 'eat people without spitting out bones', if it is done, he will give me Come to 'black eat black', I will call the sky should not call the earth not working! Miss Guan, you came at the right time, Mr. Zuo Luntai is also an expert, if you are interested, we will add two to five, and no one will take advantage of it Who's cheap!" He Xini said eloquently, as if it was true. Guan Renmei thought and hesitated.She thought in her heart that Zuo Luntai came to Mocheng just to steal treasures.The "International Expo" in Mexico City is a major event every four years in the country of Mexico. Stealing treasures from the Expo is tantamount to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. Moreover, there is an old fox Qiu Yisen as a big escort, and a camel as a hindrance. It is not easy to succeed in stealing treasures with the ability to make enemies left and right! The reason why Zuo Luntai took such a risk was to defend the Zhu family of "Manshan Farm".To put it more simply, it is for Zhu Daishi.In Zuo Luntai's plan, the stolen treasure can "shock the earth", cause a sensation in Mexico City, attract the attention of General Mengoli, and then appeal for the Zhu family's grievances, and settle a lawsuit.In fact, the lawsuit against "Manshan Farm" only needs money, and money is a magic weapon, so you don't have to worry about going to General Mongoli! If what He Xini said is true, this is a shortcut to make a lot of money without much risk, and there will be no people like Luo Tuo and Qiu Yisen to oppose it. Seeing Guan Renmei's hesitation, He Xini guessed that she was a little tempted, so she said, "Do you want to discuss it with your adoptive father?" "Zuo Luntai is not my adoptive father, he is just my guardian!" Guan Renmei replied seriously. "It doesn't matter if it's your guardian, do you want to consult with him?" "I still need to know the whole truth!" "If you have any questions, just ask!" "where?" "Not far from Mexico City, an hour's flight, it's like another independent small kingdom!" "Who is the master?" "It's a well-known upstart named Lin Bian Shui. In this city, everyone who mentions Lin Bian Shui's name knows it. He is a big native!" "What is the total value of the antiques?" "It's hard to estimate, you know, some ancient objects are priceless, let's temporarily set the reserve price in the millions of dollars!" Guan Renmei was really tempted, and asked again: "Is it convenient to do things?" "If you act according to the plan, plus Zuo Luntai and your wisdom, it can be said to be effortless!" "So, you already have a comprehensive plan?" "It can be said that, but we still have to conduct a comprehensive study of the plan and Zuo Luntai to ensure nothing goes wrong!" "Can you tell me the plan in general?" "No! That would be a waste of time and effort. We have to obtain Zuo Luntai's consent before conducting research. Otherwise, if the secret is leaked and used as a blueprint by another third party, my loss will be great!" Guan Renmei shook her head and said: "Zuo Luntai will not rashly agree to cooperate with you before he learns the details!" "You just have to show this bunch of jade grapes to Zuo Luntai, he is a man of knowledge, so he will naturally be interested!" Guan Renmei frowned and said, "Why don't you tell me the plan?" "I think it's better to negotiate directly with Zuo Luntai!" He Xini urged, "It's not that I don't trust you, I can give you the jade grapes and let you give them to Zuo Luntai for review, if Zuo Luntai is interested If so, let’s talk about the second step of the plan!” Guan Renmei was hesitant, but she couldn't stand He Xini's repeated instigation. Finally, she took the bunch of jade grapes, still wrapped them in gauze, and wrapped them in waste newspapers, intending to send them to Zuo Luntai for review. Holding the package in her hand, she came back to the casino downstairs and ran all over the place, but she didn't see Zuo Luntai's shadow. At this time, Qiu Yisen and Zuo Luntai had a crush on each other, and they followed Luo Tuo, because Luo Tuo planned to leave the Bangba Reservoir after General Mongoli left.He was waiting in front of the parking lot for the transportation car sent by the hotel. 关人美遍寻左轮泰不见，手中提着一只大纸包又有点不大方便，于是，她便将它交给了贮物间，领取了一只对号领物的铜牌。 是时，朱黛诗也进入了“皇后酒店”，她告诉关人美，她被一无聊男子盯梢！关人美看见林淼那一副傻头傻脑的样子，心中就感到好笑。她可以看得出，林淼虽是西装笔挺，可是仍带着土味，很可能是一位土财主子弟，他不会是猎艳能手，也不是色狼之流。 经关人美锐利的目光向他不断地上下打量时，林淼立刻脸红耳赤，回避开了。 “这只是一个傻小子，你别理会他就行了！”关人美关照朱黛诗说：“假如他有越轨的行动，我会给他苦头吃的！”
邦坝水库的慈善豪赌是通宵达旦举行的，凡被邀请的贵宾，每一个人凭帖上的餐券，可以领取一客大餐。进餐的时间不拘，贵客高兴在什么时间去享受那客大餐都可以，只要将餐券交给侍者，餐点就会送到，甚至于边赌边吃也行。但饮料方面，却是需要贵客们自掏腰包的，特别是各类的美酒还要加税。 左轮泰好忙了一阵子，也觉得饥肠辘辘，他暂时还不想离开邦坝水库。 他猜想骆驼的离去，可能是逃避他和仇奕森两人的纠缠，但是骆驼的党羽却一定是仍留在邦坝水库做侦察工作。知己知彼始能百战百胜，左轮泰得继续了解骆驼手底下人的活动，同时，左轮泰自己也很需要知道邦坝水力发电厂输电的情形。当前最大的问题，还是如何摆脱仇奕森那“老狐狸”，这老家伙也不容易对付。 左轮泰有信心能对付仇奕森，是因为仇奕森并不代表墨城警方，他只是凭个人的义气，为朋友担掮道义，所以做了博览会的保镖。掼倒仇奕森，只要有特别的诡计即行。
关人美总算在餐厅里找到左轮泰。他要了一杯双份的白兰地，正在用餐。 关人美在他的身畔坐下，侍者过来，她交出了餐券，一面悄悄地告诉左轮泰，她和贺希妮的一席谈话。关人美很天真的认为这是一桩好买卖，不必冒很大的风险，许多的问题都可迎刃解决。 左轮泰怔着，他觉得事情绝不是这么回事，问题之中另有问题。 “那串玉葡萄现在在什么地方？”他急切问。 “很安全，我将它存到了贮物间，不会丢的！”关人美举着手中的领物铜牌说。 左轮泰摇头说：“问题并不简单，假如说，贺希妮那小妞儿和骆驼是有关连的话，那么这是一种栽赃的手法，那串玉葡萄不知道是由什么地方弄来的，打算嫁祸于你，这样就将我牵制住了！” 关人美有点吃惊，说：“你为什么会有这样的想法呢？” 左轮泰说：“这是最下流的江湖手法，我们和一个骗子接触，就得步步小心，要不然，随时都会进圈套！” 关人美说：“假如骆驼有胆量这样做，岂不是等于向你宣战了吗？” “要不然，骆驼就是有计划地企图将我引开，好让他单独坐享其成！这两种想法，其中必有一项是对的！”左轮泰说。 “但是也或者贺希妮所说的是真话，林边水真有其人其事！” 左轮泰呆了半晌，说：“假如说林边水拥有如此大的收藏，必定也是一位名人，朱黛诗应该会知道其人，向她打听一下就可以了解底细了！” 关人美有点着急，说：“待我去把朱黛诗小姐找来！” 左轮泰忙说：“你得将铜牌留下！” 关人美不解，说：“为什么呢？” “假如这是骆驼的栽赃手法，那么你已经成为他们的箭靶子，随时都会有危险！” “铜牌留给你，你不也会有危险吗？” “我会对付！”
关人美离开之后，左轮泰将那只领物铜牌压在餐碟底下，大敌当前，他得随时提高警觉，慎防堕入圈套，中了奸计。 关人美虽说是要替左轮泰找寻朱黛诗，打听林边水其人其事，但她偷空却又溜上楼去了。 关人美是企图找贺希妮算帐去的，假如贺希妮真是骆驼的党羽，有计划栽赃谋算她的话，她绝不饶她。 关人美仗着艺高胆大，平日就不肯吃任何的明亏，这是生活环境造成她有着一种狂野不羁的性格，贺希妮的表面看似弱质纤纤，一副娇滴滴的样子，关人美心想，“修理”她是绝不会有问题的。 她匆匆忙忙又来到贺希妮的套房，可是贺希妮早已离房他去，值班该层楼的侍者也不知道贺希妮到什么地方去了！ 关人美扑了个空，心中懊恼不迭，她重新下楼来到赌厅，四下找寻了一遍，仍然没看见贺希妮的影子。贺希妮那里去了呢？ 贺希妮将玉葡萄交到关人美的手中后，满以为奸计已告得逞，她将经过情形透过常老么，向骆驼作了一番报告。 骆驼认为贺希妮太过莽撞，太操之过急了，左轮泰和关人美都不是“善男信女”，怎会轻易上当呢？骆驼认为栽赃的手法不对，这在骗术中是至为劣等的技术，假如说，能让关人美自动将玉葡萄偷走，那么手段就高了。不过贺希妮既然已经这样做了，骆驼也无可奈何，谁叫他在事前没给贺希妮一番授计呢？ 骆驼吩咐常老么关照贺希妮，命贺希妮迅速离开“豪华酒店”，以免被“倒打一耙”！
“豪华酒店”的保险箱失窃，骆驼教授锁在保险箱内的一件无价宝物不翼而飞，这关系了该酒店的信誉，同时，又牵上了蒙戈利将军的关系，酒店的总经理和帐房司理为了自己的差事着想，再三磋商，决意央人走蒙戈利将军的门道，请蒙戈利将军暂息雷霆，宽以时日，绝对破案将“原物归赵”。 占天霸越查案子越是糊涂，酒店里的保险箱是什么时候失窃的，窃贼又是用什么方法打开保险箱将宝物窃走？全寻不出答案。 占天霸翻阅顾客登记的名册，计算失窃的可能时间，再按名册逐个查询，藉以寻出可疑的人犯。但是总经理没批准让他这样做，他认为占天霸这样做，非但会得罪客人，而且还会将流言扩大，到时候更收不了场了。占天霸正好有了藉口，总经理不让他以科学方法侦查，就无法破案了。 总经理发雷霆也没有用，占天霸一口咬定是住在“豪华酒店”里的住客盗窃的，假如时间赶得上，也许赃物还留在酒店内，搜赃还来得及。可是那位总经理哪敢让占天霸这样做呢？在商言商，以顾客至上，得罪顾客是最不智之举。 他们求教于保险公司，保险公司认为在要求赔偿之先，一定得先透过警方的证明，否则拒绝承认此窃案之发生。 责任问题好像是双方在踢皮球，踢过来滚过去，谁也搞不清楚……。
邦坝水库的“皇后酒店”内，慈善豪赌仍在进行。 关人美寻着朱黛诗和雷兰兰。左轮泰是要找朱黛诗打听林边水的事情，可是朱黛诗的背后却跟着一个林淼。 朱黛诗坐进了餐厅，林淼也相随坐进餐厅。他们之间的坐位，只相隔一张餐桌，但却甚影响左轮泰他们的谈话。 关人美抢先向左轮泰报告朱黛诗被“色狼”盯梢。左轮泰先打量了林淼一番，初时，他怀疑林淼是仇奕森或是骆驼所派的“眼线”。但是林淼的那副“德性”，由头至脚也不像是一个“行家”，更不像是吃公事饭的“便衣”。 “癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉，别理会他就行了！”左轮泰说着，忽地露出了笑脸，说：“也许这是天上掉下来的一只肥鸭，可以供我们利用，在墨城这地方，能广交人缘也是好的！” 朱黛诗不懂左轮泰的意思，但是关人美却是一点即通。 朱黛诗这时看着左轮泰的一副形色，纳闷不已，忍耐不住，便问：“为什么称为是天上掉下来的一只肥鸭子呢？” 左轮泰说：“男女之间的爱情，有一种是天长地久，海枯石烂，专情不二；另外一种，称之为'爱情的点心'，如同游戏人间，供着玩的，有这种大好的机会送上门，不等于像是天上掉下来的肥鸭子吗？” 朱黛诗摇头说：“我不懂得你的意思。” 左轮泰说：“我们现在正感到人手不够，需要有自愿供我们跑腿的人物，人选的对象，是傻头傻脑，在社会上又略有金钱地位的人物！”他说时，眼睛瞟了林淼一眼。 朱黛诗咽了口气，连忙摇首说：“你的意思要我勾引那个人为我们做恶事？噢，不……”
这时，赌厅方面发生了一点不愉快的事情。 原来是金燕妮的哥哥金京华也到“皇后酒店”参加“蒙地卡罗之夜”。他的那位酒肉朋友私家侦探华莱士范伦也追踪而至，华莱士范伦原是迷恋着某一间赌场的筹码女郎的，是夜，该筹码女郎也被调用在“皇后酒店”之内。 华莱士范伦需要在该女郎面前摆阔，所以向金京华借赌资，金京华身边所带的现款不多，头一次借给华莱士范伦二百元，不及他押了两注就输了个精光，华莱士范伦再借，金京华不得已打了回票。华莱士范伦正好借题发挥，和金京华起了争执。 “你聘我做私家侦探保护博览商展会的宝物展出，我以最低廉的收费，纯是看在老朋友的份上，而你呢，又结交江湖上黑道的朋友，另搞名堂将我蒙在鼓里，你们掩掩藏藏的，到底在搞什么鬼？我连一点也不知道，假如说你对我感到不满的话，我们的委托就到此为止了！” 金京华连忙解释说：“我们交朋友不是一天了，最近生意做得不顺利，你又不是不知道，至于博览会的安全委托费，你早已经借支一空……” 华莱士范伦不乐，说：“博览会展出的古物是无价之宝，你所给我的委托费用，又是多少呢？” “可是我们在事前，双方说得很明白，还签有合约的！” “那时候，我们是朋友！” “现在就不是朋友了吗？” “现在你有那个姓仇的给你做保镖，就不需要我了。我们就到此为止！” 金京华生了气，说：“你已经支取全部报酬，怎可以中途毁约？” “不交朋友就没什么信义可言了！” 他俩争吵愈来越烈，引起了赌厅中一些赌客注意，何立克和金燕妮刚好进入“皇后酒店”，打算向仇奕森报告下午观察所得之资料。金燕妮发现她的哥哥正在大庭广众中和华莱士范伦发生争吵，赶忙上前去劝阻。何立克拦阻了华莱士范伦，金燕妮则将金京华拖进了餐厅。 那楞头楞脑的林淼和何立克是相识的。当何立克进餐厅去寻找金燕妮时，林淼赶忙迎上去打招呼。 左轮泰看见金京华兄妹两人，又看见林淼和他们凑在一起，心中更有把握。 餐厅里顿时热闹起来，金京华交游甚广，平日结交的酒肉朋友甚多，每在热闹场合有酒饮的地方，总可以遇着金京华的那些酒肉朋友。金京华看见左轮泰甚为尊敬，特地上前一鞠躬，并招呼酒吧，特别开了一瓶香槟送到左轮泰的桌上。 关人美说：“姓金的对你如此尊敬，倒会使你觉得不好意思了！” 左轮泰笑了起来，说：“不管在任何情况下，我的意志不会轻易动摇的！” 他立刻吩咐侍者，回敬金京华两瓶白兰地。 这时，左轮泰不厌其详地向朱黛诗查询暴发户林边水的底细。 朱黛诗生长在墨城，林边水其人其事听闻之传说多矣，可是这鼎鼎大名的暴发户，朱黛诗却从未见过。她说：“假如有机会，我倒真想看看这位暴发户究竟'土'到什么样的一个程度？” “林边水真的是一位古玩收藏家吗？”左轮泰问。 “据说，他所收藏的古玩可以和蒙戈利将军比美！”朱黛诗正色说：“曾经有一次，林边水为了炫耀他的珍藏，大排筵席宴请富豪贤达，公开展览他的宝库，蒙戈利将军也躬逢其盛，彼此之间还发生了不愉快的争执！” 左轮泰说：“据你所知，在林边水的宝库之中，有什么古玩是最著名的？” 朱黛诗抬头想了想，说：“慈禧太后的翡翠马桶！据说是一个著名的骗子请一位名家仿造的，被林边水高价抢购而去！” 左轮泰失声而笑，几乎将刚啜进口的香槟酒全喷了出来。 “你向我打听这些，莫非又是在转什么念头？”朱黛诗反问。 左轮泰说：“我对古玩一向是极感兴趣的！” “墨城的事件还没开始，就准备好下一步骤了吗？” “以常理推断，假如一个人赚的是辛苦钱，不会将大把的钞票花费在古物上，以历史文物来标榜自己的财富，这种东西，可以说是多余的，见者有份！我反正闲着也是闲着，有了下一步骤，头一件事就会进行很快，尽早结束！”
仇奕森也发现贺希妮的身分有问题，企图盘她的底子，所以不惜下工本去进行调查，他由“皇后酒店”开始着手，发现贺希妮所订的房间，是由墨城的“豪华酒店”代订的。邦坝水库的“皇后酒店”与墨城的“豪华酒店”原是有着连锁生意的，所以互相订房都很方便。大骗子骆驼也是住在墨城的“豪华酒店”里。 仇奕森心想，假如贺希妮着实是骆驼的黛羽的话，应该不可能会这样笨，住在同一间酒店里。不过，骆驼的足迹遍及天下，他的骗术花样百出，他的要诀是“真真假假，假假真真，疑真似假，疑假似真。”经常会使人捉摸不透的。所以，贺希妮的真实身分，不能因她住在“豪华酒店”里而下定论。 仇奕森再进一步，请“皇后酒店”的职员拨电话到墨城的“豪华酒店”去打听。但这时“豪华酒店”乱得一团糟，据说是出了极大的纰漏，整间酒店上下的员工神不守舍，连一个负责人也寻不着。 至于出纰漏的内容，该酒店的职员守口如瓶，拒绝吐露。 仇奕森的调查不得要领，只有暂时放弃，待回墨城再说。 他在赌厅里巡了一下，进入餐厅，左轮泰首先和他打招呼。金京华对仇奕森也颇为尊敬，连忙起立让坐，并介绍林淼相见。金燕妮立刻报告华莱士范伦和金京华发生争执的经过。 仇奕森愁眉不展，说：“华莱士范伦是一个小人，以后要多加小心！” 金京华忙加以解释说：“我和华莱士是老朋友了，吵闹是经常会有的事，他不会做对不起我的事情的！” 仇奕森说：“在当前的情况下，我们的处境如同是四面楚歌，我们要防君子，也要防小人，最要避免节外生枝！” 金京华为自己的颜面，不便在林淼和何立克的面前多说什么，装着饮酒，将问题打发过去。 仇奕森“转台子”来到左轮泰的坐位跟前。关人美和朱黛诗他都曾经见过，就好像是老朋友般的一一打了招呼。左轮泰招呼他坐下，一面为他斟了香槟酒。 “你打听贺希妮那妞儿可有什么收获？”左轮泰先道破仇奕森的行踪，显露出他的智慧。 仇奕森并不介意，一耸肩说：“目前还捉摸不透，贺希妮在墨城和骆驼住在同一间酒店！” “'豪华酒店'吗？”左轮泰侧首说，心中也在盘算其中的奥秘。“你有什么高见？” 仇奕森说：“很难说，骆驼这老妖怪向来是鬼计多端的，他的作为很难捉摸！” “'豪华酒店'应该可以吐露一点消息！” “'豪华酒店'出了大纰漏，酒店现正一团乱，当事人可能正在大伤脑筋呢！” “怎样的纰漏呢？” “不知道，没有人肯吐露！” 左轮泰格格笑了起来，说：“老妖怪骆驼所到之处，没有一个地方是安宁的！” 仇奕森一怔，好像是被左轮泰一语提醒，“豪华酒店”所出的纰漏可能与骆驼有关，也或是骆驼故意制造事端，是一种“声东击西”的手法，有意吸引他人转移注意力。“嗯，可能就是这样……”他喃喃说。 “我们已经在邦坝水库见过面了，你可以看出骆驼有什么动静和计划吗？” 仇奕森说：“骆驼手底下还有三个能人还未露面，飞贼孙阿七，九只手查大妈，大力士彭虎，我想，计划是在他们三个人的身上，也说不定现在，他们三个人正在活动之中。” 左轮泰取笑说：“仇奕森居然会放他们三个人自由活动，可谓难得！” 仇奕森叹息说：“我人势孤单，徒呼奈何！” “你有金京华的私家侦探可以借用，怎说得上孤单？” “年轻的小伙子除了酒色财气之外，什么经验也没有，怎会是老骗子骆驼的对手呢？假如有你和我合伙，相信击败骆驼该不成问题了！” 左轮泰不置可否，只吃吃而笑。 关人美却插口说：“想不到，一向不求人的仇奕森，竟然拉拢手段还满高明的！” 是时，林淼正在向金京华打听朱黛诗，他说：“坐在姓仇的身边的那位女郎是什么人？” 金京华再三打量朱黛诗，只不断地摇头，说：“搞不清楚，我只知道那个蓄小胡子的叫做左轮泰，是一位闻名的神枪手！” “你和他们好像很有交情，进门就送过去一瓶香槟酒！” “礼尚往来，他不立刻就还我两瓶白兰地吗？” “我很想结识那个女的……”林淼喃喃说。 “嗨，想不到林淼也变成猎艳的能手了，你什么时候开始学会的？” 林淼的脸上不禁一红，很不自在地说：“我是相信命运的，我想这是缘份！” 金燕妮插嘴说：“和左轮泰混在一起的，差不多都是'女江湖'，你最好少沾为上！” “弱质纤纤，端庄秀丽，可以看得出必定受过良好教育，不可能是一个下流社会的人物，你看差眼了！” “既然这样，何不请仇叔叔替你介绍，他和左轮泰挺热络的！”何立克说。 林淼搔着头皮说：“家父研究'麻布柳庄'，我对相法也很熟稔，这位小姐相貌堂堂，以相法说，可以贵为一品夫人，旺夫益子，有帮夫运，将来儿女成群，会大大的发迹的。” “既然这样，舍妹'穿针引线'最有办法，请她为你牵线，包你马到成功，我们等着吃你的喜酒就是了！”金京华说。 林淼有点忸怩，向金燕妮一揖，说：“就拜托你了！” 金燕妮呶嘴说：“这种事情，有花花公子参与其中不会有好结果的，你假如真的希望谱一曲凤求凰，趁早别和一些浪荡子在一起，否则，成事不足败事有余！” 林淼知道金燕妮指的是金京华，他兄妹俩一直是不和的，只有含笑说：“金京华在外面玩，向来'盗亦有道'，从不会横刀夺爱的！” “我从未听说过有不抢食的饿狗！”金燕妮说。 赌厅里忽地起了一阵喧闹，原来是夏落红押轮盘赌，连中三元之后一把输光，旁观者为他惋惜。 夏落红一把输光也面不改色，好像对输赢没当一回事，他说：“赢了，是意外之财，轮了，当捐作慈善事业，我们本就是为慈善捐款而来的！” 仇奕森和左轮泰仍在针锋相对，他们坐在一起饮酒，却是面和心不和，各怀鬼胎，互相在盘算。 仇奕森向左轮泰说：“夏落红故作招摇，招蜂引蝶，惹人注目，他的义父却早离开邦坝水库了，孙阿七和查大妈等人没有露面，你猜是什么道理？” 左轮泰说：“在真相未明之前，不作批评是最理智的，骆驼玩的噱头，不到最后揭晓，谁能明了真相呢？” 这时，有侍者举着灯牌穿行餐厅之中，灯牌上写着：“贺希妮小姐电话”几个字。
