Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen Turning Things Around
In the middle of the night, Jin Jinghua woke up in bed when a ladle of cold water was poured over his head. Since the robbery at the Expo, Jin Jinghua drank his worries all day long, and was in a drunken state day and night. He was waiting for the verdict on the compensation, that is to say, the verdict on the final fate of their "King's Enterprise Building". At night, Jin Jinghua would not go to bed unless he was drunk, and after he went to bed, he would not be awakened by any noise. Jin Yanni knocked on the door for a long time, but Jin Jinghua still didn't respond. Jin Yanni got annoyed, pushed the door in, took a ladle of cold water, and poured it on Jin Jinghua's head. Jin Jinghua screamed and staggered to sit up, "What's going on? What's going on..." "The exposition robbery has been solved, and Qiu Yisen is waiting for you to catch the thief!" Jin Yanni said. "Are you catching a thief? Where are you going to catch them? Have you called the police?" Jin Jinghua asked nana. He was doused with cold water, coupled with surprise, and was half sober for a while. "Qiu Yisen is waiting for you outside the gate!" Jin Yanni urged again. "Why doesn't he come in?" "Because I'm in a hurry!" "Who is the thief?" "It's your wine and meat friend!" "Oh!" Jin Jinghua was so dazed that he hurriedly picked up his clothes and put them on, muttering, "Did you get the pearl shirt and dragon ball hat back?" "It's just waiting for you to pick it up!" Jin Jinghua's mind was in a turmoil. After working for a long time, he finally put on his clothes and ran out of the elevator staggeringly. A few minutes later, he had walked out of the main entrance of "Jin's Enterprise Building". At midnight, the road was deserted. The whole city is still asleep.At this moment, Jin Jinghua looked at his watch, and it turned out that it was still around four o'clock in the morning. Qiu Yisen was already waving to him in the car and said, "Why don't you get in the car soon?" Jin Jinghua hurriedly stepped into the car and said, "Where are you going?" "Go to your drinking and meat friend, that shrewd and capable private eye Wallace Van Lun!" "Where is he?" "Hey, I just want you to lead the way!" Qiu Yisen said: "You often spend time together, eating, drinking and having fun, you should know his hiding place!" "Do you think that Wallace Fanlun is the main culprit in the exposition robbery?" Jin Jinghua asked. "The two accomplices, Williams and Scott, have been arrested! Since Wallace Van Lun is not here, we must go and get him alone!" "It's unbelievable..." "We're going to buy time. You know where Wallace Van Lun is usually?" "He often stays in the weathered area overnight!" Jin Jinghua was suddenly moved, and said, "Recently, he is pursuing a chip girl from the Dodgers Club casino!" "Where does the casino girl live?" "Baitina's apartment!" "You indicate the route, we have to buy time to hurry!" Qiu Yisen said, already starting the accelerator. In an instant, the car had slipped onto the main road like a meteor, and drove away in the wind.
"Bai Tina's Apartment" can be regarded as a rather high-end apartment in Mexico City. It is a four-room building with eight floors. Only people with a moderate income can live here. Qiu Yisen and Jin Jinghua had arrived at the door of "Bai Tina's Apartment", and Qiu Yisen looked around first. "How much does a casino chip girl earn? Can she live in such a high-end apartment?" Qiu Yisen was suspicious and asked Jin Jinghua. "If she relied on salary alone, she would not be able to maintain it. As far as I know, Wallace Fan Lun pursued Angela Parker at all costs, which is why he is in debt!" Jin Jinghua said. "Are you sure they live here together?" "No! I'm not sure, but there is one thing that can be confirmed. Wallace Fanlun once thought that he had recently pursued him!" Qiu Yisen said reservedly: "I must find Wallace Fan Lun before the action of Camel and Zuo Luntai!" Jin Jinghua sighed and said: "Until now, I still don't believe that Wallace Fan Lun is the principal culprit in the robbery!" "This is the reason why you put too much faith in your friends, you should reflect on yourself deeply in the future!" Qiu Yisen said. "Have you found the stolen goods?" "Both stolen goods are in the car!" "Then why don't we hand it over to the police, it's the police's business to arrest the criminal!" Qiu Yisen shook his head and said: "The expo period is not yet over, your insurance company's insurance liability has not yet expired, Luo Tuo and Zuo Luntai are still spying on these two treasures, they will create many troubles before the whole case is closed, One wave is not flat, another wave rises again, you will not be able to bear it!" Jin Jinghua said in a daze, "I don't understand what you mean!" Qiu Yisen said: "We need to delay until the end of the expo!" "What are you going to do?" "Find Wallace Fanlun first!" "If he didn't live in Angela Parker's residence, it would be very difficult to find him!" Jin Jinghua was still hesitant. "We just have to try it out. Maybe it's luck, and we can't stop it!" Qiu Yisen said, and entered "Bai Tina's apartment" with Jin Jinghua.Jin Jinghua and Wallace Fan Lun have been to this place many times before, and the route is familiar. They took the elevator and went straight to the seventh floor, which was divided into Building A and Building B. Angela Parker lived in Building B, and her name was on the door plate. "It seems impolite to call on guests at this time!" Jin Jinghua said hesitantly. "We are not visiting guests, we are catching robbers!" Qiu Yisen said. "Will Wallace Van Lun know that a case has been committed?" "If he's more sensitive, it's not a good thing if someone visits him at midnight, and he might even get violent. You have to be more vigilant!" Embarrassed, Jin Jinghua rang the doorbell, believing that the people in the room were in Xiangmeng.Jin Jinghua pressed the door again and again, but no one answered the door, and no response was heard. He shrugged his shoulders to Qiu Yisen, and Qiu Yisen waved to him, which meant to keep him calm. Jin Jinghua rang the doorbell for the third time, and this time the sound was particularly long. Finally, there was movement inside the door, and there was a sound of footsteps moving towards the door. "Who is it?" It was Wallace Fan Lun's voice. As expected, he was living here with the chip girl.Jin Jinghua and Qiu Yisen were overjoyed at the same time, and Qiu Yisen immediately avoided the side. Wallace Fan Lun first took a peek through the anti-theft eyes on the door, and said, "Huh? Why are you?" Jin Jinghua said: "It's me, open the door!" "What time is it? Why are you here?" he asked, without opening the door right away. "Of course there is something important, you open the door first!" Jin Jinghua urged. "Are you alone?" "one person!" Then, the door opened, and Wallace Van Lun seemed not at ease, first he stretched his neck and looked around outside the door. "I see you are sneaky, what happened?" he asked. Jin Jinghua said: "The case of the exposition's armed robbery has been solved!" "Has the case been solved?" Wallace Van Lun was quite surprised, then kept calm and said, "Who did it?" "The two accomplices have already been arrested, and the only thing missing is the principal offender!" "Who is the principal offender?" Qiu Yisen rushed forward with a sudden stride. The "old fox" was quick and nimble. He grabbed Wallace Fan Lun's head with both hands, bowed and turned, and pushed Wallace Fan Lun straight to the ground. Flick to the floor. "The main culprit is you!" Qiu Yisen said. Wallace Van Lun was wearing a deep red woolen dressing gown. When he fell down on the ground, he immediately put his hand into his pocket.Without waiting for his hand to reach out, Qiu Yisen immediately raised his foot to step on his hand, and then snatched the short gun hidden in his pocket. "You have revealed your true colors, and resistance will do you no good!" Qiu Yisen said again. Wallace Fan Lun relied on his physical strength and had practiced boxing before, so he thought that Qiu Yisen was not his opponent.He rolled up, intending to pull Qiu Yisen's legs.Qiu Yisen knew that Wallace Fan Lun would not give in if he didn't give him a little bit of trouble. He lifted his foot and kicked Wallace Van Lun's jaw, and Wallace's head hit the ground, which was double injured. "Hey, Wallace, why is it so noisy outside the door? What's the noise?" A woman's delicate voice asked from inside the room. That woman was Wallace Van Lun's concubine, Angela Parker, the chip girl in the Dodgers Club Casino.Wallace Fan Lun turned upside down for her, using any means and any cost, and finally got it. It is said that an attractive chip girl works in a casino, and the people she meets are almost all rich and famous, or prominent playboys, Angela Parker will marry a poor private detective like Wallace Van Lun , it can also be said that she is blind! Wallace Van Lun was overwhelmed by love and used all means to achieve his goal. But then again, his risk of "selling out friends", stealing treasure, seeking wealth and killing people was all for Angela Parker. Qiu Yisen stepped on Wallace Fanlun's wrist to prevent him from getting up, and said, "Wallace Fanlun, your case has been solved, Scott and Williams have been arrested, and you have also been arrested." The fish in the middle, resistance is unnecessary, if you are willing to embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend, then I will deal with you!" "Get me up..." "But you have to submit obediently. If you plot something wrong, don't blame me for not saving face for you." Angela Parker has already moved out of the room. She has sleepy eyes, disheveled hair, a childish and beautiful face, full of charm, wearing half men's pajamas, revealing a pair of slender and smooth thighs, breasts Towering, it is really attractive enough. She stared blankly at the two guests in front of the room, and found Wallace Fanlun lying on the ground. Jin Jinghua and Wallace Fan Lun were good friends, and Angela Parker knew her. She said, "Hey, Mr. Jin, what's the matter? You came here in the middle of the night to fight with Wallace." ?!" Qiu Yisen let go of his feet and let Wallace Fan Lun stand up from the ground. He warned again: "It's best not to let this girl know about your affairs. It's hard to embarrass yourself in person!" Wallace Fanlun's arm was sore, he moved his arm, blushed with shame, and said to Angela Parker: "This is none of your business, you can go back to your room and sleep!" "If you fight, I will call the police!" she said. "The police won't intervene in our affairs, you're just embarrassing Wallace!" Qiu Yisen said. "Don't call the police, you just go back to your room!" Wallace Van Lun said. "Two of them hit you and one..." "Don't worry about it..." Jin Jinghua comforted Angela Parker and said, "As long as Wallace Fanlun doesn't use force, we won't fight anymore." "You are good friends, why bother, is there anything that cannot be discussed?" Angela Parker said. "It's just that Wallace is not enough friends!" Wallace Van Lun said to Angela Parker again: "It's not a big deal, we can solve it quickly, don't worry!" Qiu Yisen patted Wallace Fan Lun's arm and said, "You'd better put on your clothes and go with us. You are also a man, and you can do things by yourself. Why do you have to make noise in front of women?" Wallace Fan Lun was like a defeated rooster, he said listlessly, "You...you are planning to take me..." Qiu Yisen said: "If you don't cause us trouble, we will never make things difficult for you!" "You want me to report to Steino?" "No! To a place you don't expect!" Wallace thought to himself that since the case was revealed, it would be useless for him to deny it. Just as Qiu Yisen said, "A man should be responsible for one person's work." No matter what, he had to accept it. For Angela Parker, this girl is so charming that Wallace Van Lun would sacrifice everything to love her.This time, a mistake may be the eternal hatred, his private detective agency, his future, everything is over! Qiu Yisen is by no means an ordinary person, and if it falls into his hands, it will be useless to resist, Wallace might as well accept his fate.He promised to change his clothes, and left with his colleague Qiu Yisen and the others. "What's going on? I'm completely confused!" Angela Parker said still pestering Wallace Van Lun. Wallace Van Lun said: "It doesn't matter, just remember one thing, that is, I love you!"
General Mongolli's mansion has been haunted all night. It was a hell of a thing, until dawn, when the sky became light, the ghosts surrounding the general's mansion began to disperse.Some guards on duty at night recalled the "hell" situation last night with lingering fear the next day. They heard ghosts knocking on the door, heard ghosts howling, and saw ghosts flickering with their own eyes, and some even saw ghosts appearing with their own eyes... Mr. Fred, the accountant of General Mongolli's mansion, was the worst. He hadn't slept all night, and the ghost knocked on his door. When he opened the door, he found that someone had hung a black wreath for mourning on his door. . That black wreath was hung at the gate of "Manshan Farm", because Zhu Daishi's father, Zhu Sangui, died in the United States.Who played a trick and hung the black wreath on Fred's door?Or are ghosts haunting Fred for his life? Fred's purpose was only to pursue Zhu Daishi, and in order to show his power, he "made a fool of himself" and made Zhu Daishi's family scattered.Fred had no intention of repenting, and was complacent, thinking that if Zhu Daishi wanted to preserve the property of "Manshan Farm", she had to bow to him, and a piece of swan meat would fall into his mouth sooner or later . Who, Fred thought, would play tricks on him?General Mengoli's mansion is heavily guarded, with one post at five steps and one post at ten steps in the entire castle. Except for the hostile elements in the general's mansion, outsiders cannot invade. Who would do such a thing?Fred, who has never had the theory of ghosts and ghosts, was also puzzled. General Mongolli's vision and hearing are not very convenient. He is the only one who didn't hear the ghost howling and ghost knocking on the door.Elderly people have less sleep time and wake up very early in the morning. General Mongoli has been a soldier all his life, and his life is quite regular. He wakes up early every morning, and after washing, he will definitely make a speech on the balcony in front of his bedroom. Some morning exercises. A mouse urinated on top of his head last night, and the smelly mouse urine actually flowed into his eyes.In fact, it wasn't rat urine, but the snitch Sun Ah Qi who slipped into his bedroom and dripped crow's eye juice into his eyes. According to the camel, the juice made from crow's eye will dazzle people and make them die in the daytime. General Mongoli's eyesight was already bad. He didn't feel like he was alive, but his vision became more blurred. He always felt uncomfortable in his eyes. In an instant, the blood turned into clear water again... General Mongoli's mood was restless, and he stepped out of the balcony to do his morning class. Naturally, at such an old age, he would not do strenuous morning exercises, but only gently exercised his muscles and bones. Looking out from the terrace, he could see the moat, and he found a few huge words in blood on the river - "Manshan Farm Injustice"!Those bloody characters disappeared without a trace along with the rippling river water in an instant. 蒙戈利将军原是老眼昏花的,视觉甚感馍糊,他几乎不相信自己的眼睛,那究竟是怎么回事呢? 他猛揉着自己的眼睛,抓耳搔腮的,自信就算是眼花,也不致于会眼花到那个程度,假如是别的字,蒙戈利将军会将这悬疑埋葬在心中就此作罢,而偏偏它就是“满山农场冤”几个字。 “呀!真闹鬼了不成?”蒙戈利将军搔着头皮,不断地喃喃自语。 再细看护城河时,什么也没有,在城堡对面的地方,正就是“满山农场”的田地。他转身进入书房,拉唤人铃,召来每天为他读报的秘书。 只见那位“副官”神色沮丧,精神疲惫,睡眼惺忪的,好像发生了什么不如意的事情。 “今天有什么特别的新闻没有?”蒙戈利将军问。 “将军,你想听将军府内的新闻,还是将军府外的新闻?”秘书说。 “将军府内有什么新闻?” “昨晚上将军府内整夜闹鬼……” “闹鬼?”蒙戈利将军有点生气,说:“狗屁!二十世纪,科学都已发展到太空外去了,哪还会有鬼怪的谬论?” “真的,将军府内整夜里没有安宁过,天空上有鬼啸,夜里有鬼拍门,有人看到鬼火,也听到鬼走路,还看到鬼影跳墙……” “鬼话连篇!你也活见鬼了么?”蒙戈利将军叱斥说。 “整夜里有冤鬼拍我的门,拍我的窗!” “胡说八道!” “真的,帐房先生佛烈德更惨,他的房门上,有人给他挂了一个丧宅的黑花环!” “那必是有人故意给他恶作剧!” “不!”那位秘书战战兢兢地说:“那只黑花环原是挂在'满山农场'的门口处的,留医在美国的朱三贵不幸逝世了……” “你的意思是说,朱三贵阴魂不散,要找佛烈德算帐么?”蒙戈利将军拉大了嗓子说。 “恐怕是的!” "What's the reason?" “佛烈德一直主张要夺取他们的农场,在'满山农场'内开辟马路,车祸撞伤朱三贵,都是他一手造成的!” “你在攻讦佛烈德!” “不!假如将军不相信的话,可以叫佛烈德来问,他曾亲眼看见朱三贵的冤魂向他索命……还有许多警卫整夜里听见鬼嚎,鬼火缭绕……” 蒙戈利立刻拉唤人铃,叫佛烈德和城堡的警卫长前来。 佛烈德的眼圈发黑,那是“乌鸦目汁”作祟,他憔悴的程度几乎不像人样。 “佛烈德,你活见鬼了吗?”蒙戈利将军问。 佛烈德一副哭丧似的脸孔,瘪着嘴说:“很奇怪,整夜里我被冤魂缠绕,有冤鬼拍我的门,在我的窗外叫啸……” “还有那只黑花环!”秘书抢着说。 “朱三贵报丧的黑花环挂在我的房门口!”他再哭丧着脸说,他抬手搔头皮时,竟抓下了一把头发! 这使蒙戈利将军也感到惊诧不迭,竟趋上前,弯下身去,拾起佛烈德的头发细看。 佛烈德深为恐惧,忍不住竟呜咽嚎哭起来。 城堡的警卫长也赶来报到,他是蒙戈利将军昔日南征北讨的侍卫长,忠心耿耿,脾气憨直的一名军官。 “你得向我报告昨晚上闹鬼的情形!”蒙戈利将军说。 “这是极端荒唐的事情呢,但又不由得你不信!”警卫长呐呐回答。 “你只管照直说!” “城堡天空四周,有两只冤鬼盘旋叫啸,此起彼落……” “真狗屁,为什么我听不见?” “那是将军的耳朵不好!由六0六高地战役后,你的耳朵就有了故障……” “还有什么鬼你只管说!” “城堡的各处门户都有鬼拍门!” “为什么冤鬼不拍我的门呢?” “那是将军耳朵不好,差不多在城堡里的每一个人全都听见了!” “好的,还有什么鬼?” “值夜士兵见到鬼火!” “鬼火是怎样的?” “磷磷发光,到处流动!” “你看到没有?” “我看到鬼影子穿房越屋,飞檐走壁……” “嗨,你们真是与鬼为伍了!” “我曾用枪打,但是鬼影比我的枪还快!” 蒙戈利将军格格笑了起来,说:“我毕生中曾经历过数百次战役,带领着你们战无不胜,攻无不克,想不到今天,你们竟被鬼魂战败了!” “真的,将军,我还被一名冤鬼追逐呢,我跑到哪里,他追到哪里!” 蒙戈利将军恼了火,叱斥说:“好,我限你在廿四小时内替我将冤鬼抓来!” “到那里去抓?” “问你!” “将军等于是要处分我呢!” “你能听见鬼走路,就可以抓着冤鬼!” 警卫长摇头说:“我无能为力,宁可关禁闭!” 蒙戈利将军很生气,跌坐在他的皮圈椅中,咬着嘴唇,想了片刻,忽又说:“替我把沙利文唤来!” “报告,沙利文整夜没有回将军府!”秘书立正说。 “他哪儿去了?” “不知道,他最近经常和史天奴探长在一起交头接耳的,不知道是在商量些什么事情,可能是与劫案有关系!昨晚上临外出时,据勤务兵说,他是办案去了!” 蒙戈利将军很觉满意,到底沙利文与众不同,将军府内的权势斗争与他全无关系,蒙戈利将军命他进行调查“满山农场”,沙利文就马不停蹄的。 年轻人有着一股朝气与其傻无比的干劲,在蒙戈利将军而言,用这一次的事件给沙利文一个考验的机会,藉以决定将来他的爵位和偌大的财产该如何分配,交到什么人的手中。 蒙戈利将军对沙利文渐有信心,至少,他为人正直,对权势没有苟且的心理,更加上他有干劲,对一件事情肯认真去做,找出它的答案!那么蒙戈利将军府历代的好名声,还可以仗赖沙利文流传下去。 “沙利文可有消息回来?”他问。 “没有!”秘书回答。 “通知警署的史天奴探长,我将沙利文交给他的,假如沙利文出了什么意外事故,我唯他是问!”蒙戈利将军慎重其事地说。 忽的,门外挤进来主任秘书,他高张双手结结巴巴地说:“史天奴探长正等候在门外求见!” 蒙戈利将军回头朝主任秘书瞪了一眼,不用猜,这个老家伙最小心眼,准是躲在门外偷听,便说:“这么巧么?我说史天奴探长,史天奴探长就在门外求见!” “史天奴探长还带来了两个人,好像也是求见的!” “来的两个是什么人?” “其中一个是那位著名乐善好施的华人教授骆驼先生,另外一名从未见过!” “先传史探长进来!”蒙戈利将军说。 门外不等吩咐,已开始一阵传令之声。 史天奴探长首先进了门,他立正向蒙戈利将军行了军礼。 “大清早就来求见,一定是有什么特别的事情要向我报告!”蒙戈利将军说。 “博览商展会劫案破获了!” “警方办案的行动神速,可喜可贺,想必劫贼已逮着了?!” “逮着两名疑犯!” “可就是在门外一同求见的那两个?” “不!他们是帮忙破案的!” “赃物可拿着了么?我的珍珠衫和龙珠帽是否已寻回来了?” 史天奴深长连连摇头,说:“只差主犯没有落网,但是不久,他们就会在此自行投案!” “在此自行投案么?”蒙戈利将军愕然,手指头指在地板上说。 “是的,他们会在蒙戈利将军府投案!”史天奴探长郑重其事地说。 “怎么回事?你将我搞糊涂了!” “因为令郎沙利文和他们在一起!” “沙利文和主犯在一起么?” “不……”史天奴探长结结巴巴地解释,说:“是另外一个协同破案的人,他和令郎在一起,去亲自逮捕主犯,相信不久即会自行到案!” “真是一塌糊涂,另外一个协助破案的又是什么人?你是警方的代表,为什么不亲自去逮捕主犯?” “他们的行动比我快了一步……” “主犯是什么人?居然胆大包天,敢在万国博览商展会械劫公开展览宝物,还杀伤警卫!” “是'燕京保险公司'雇用的私家侦探!他的两名助手已经落网,主犯携带赃物逃走,相信不久也会落网!” 蒙戈利将军越听越感迷糊,皱着眉说:“那么那位骆驼大教授又来求见我,是何用意?” “他协同破案的条件,就是要我带他们到此求见蒙戈利将军!” "What's the reason?" “他们要为老百姓申冤!” “申冤?”蒙戈利将军一双铜铃眼瞪得圆溜溜的说:“替什么人申冤?有什么样的冤情要申告到将军府?” 史天奴探长瞪了身旁站着的佛烈德一眼,说:“我也搞不清楚,蒙戈利将军最好亲自向他们查问!” “我的将军府昨晚上整夜闹鬼,你可知道吗?有冤鬼缠上了门,搞得整个将军府也不安宁,据说也是为申冤来的……” “那是什么东西?”史天奴探长忽然指着蒙戈利将军的那张宽大的办公桌,神色诧异地说。 这时,阳光自纱窗透进了蒙戈利将军的书房,一方阳光正好照在他的办公桌上,一叠纸片竟自动纷纷飞起,像纸蝴蝶似地,朝窗外相继飞出户外。 真是白昼见鬼了!纸片会自动起飞。 “你们大家都见到了,冤魂不息,到现在还未停下来!”蒙戈利将军说。 最受惊吓的莫过于帐房先生佛烈德,他在情绪紧张的当儿,不自觉又去抓头发,只见又一把头发由他的头顶脱落。 “把你的那两个人唤进来!”蒙戈利将军又向史天奴探长吩咐说。 不久,骆驼和左轮泰已徐步登上楼梯,有人替他俩开启了房门。蒙戈利将军难得会见生客,这时例外接见。 不一会儿,骆驼和左轮泰两人由一位侍卫带领着,走了进来。 “客人带到!”侍卫挺胸凹肚,立正敬礼报告说。 骆驼还是那副古怪的样子,他走进门正好面对佛烈德,看佛烈德的那副形状,就可以猜想得到他是吃足了苦头啦。 骆驼向佛烈德轻浮地笑了起来,他双手合十,打了一个作揖,向佛烈德说:“怎的?你脱发得厉害,好像是'鬼拔毛'呢!” 佛烈德打了一个寒噤,很不安地回答说:“你怎会知道的?” 骆驼说:“我是东方神秘国家的教授,博学多才,广识古今,能知过去未来,看你的脸色,再看你的光头,手上抓着的头发还舍不得放,就可以猜得着了!” 佛烈德几乎要嚎啕大哭,他从来最珍惜他头上的几根棕色的毛发,认为那是他浑身上下最美丽的仪表点缀,如今,一切全完了…… 蒙戈利将军曾经和骆驼见过面,对这位大教授的一副鬼祟神色很不欣赏,尤其是骆驼的长相不讨人喜欢。听骆驼和左轮泰两人向佛烈德一唱一和,话中带刺,好像其中另有文章。 “骆驼教授,你真是博学多才,连'鬼拔毛'也能治么?”他老人家单手叉腰,向骆驼趋了过来。 “天文地理,阴阳八卦,那是最起码的学问!”骆驼回答:“医,卜,星,相,上中下,三教九流,男盗女娼,狼心狗肺,加上疑难杂症,遇上我就会像遇上救主一样!” “我的将军府昨夜里整夜闹鬼!” “魔高一尺,道高一丈,我也擅长治鬼!” “你会治鬼么?” “鬼魂原是虚无飘渺的,阴魂不散,就说明有冤情未能伸屈!只要冤情大白,冤鬼自会平息!” “嗯,我想,一定是有人打算向我申冤了!” 骆驼便介绍左轮泰说:“这位是左轮泰先生,他代表'满山农场',希望化干戈为玉帛,平息诉讼,恢复和好,上帝说:'爱我们的芳邻'!我想,蒙戈利将军的古堡巍峨在上,该不会以大吃小的姿态,除了气势逼人之外,还要并吞老百姓的良田吧?” 史天奴探长见骆驼说得过分,赶忙偷偷踢了他一脚。 蒙戈利将军瞪大了他的一双老花眼,向左轮泰不断地上下打量。他那寂寞严肃的脸上,忽的堆起了笑容,指着左轮泰说:“看你的仪表非凡,想必也是一个江湖出类拔萃的人物!” “绰号'天下第一枪手',左轮泰就是了!”骆驼说。 左轮泰猛地在骆驼臂膀上猛拧了一把,直痛得骆驼龇才咧嘴的。 “天下第一枪手么?”蒙戈利将军高兴起来。“我能有荣幸欣赏你的神枪绝技么?” 左轮泰忙说:“蒙戈利将军统领大军数百万,军中的神枪手不知道有多少,我真不敢现丑呢!” 蒙戈利将军说:“我的部下全是军人,他们崇拜英雄偶像,特别是对神枪手另眼看待,你若是替'满山农场'申冤的话,凭你的神枪就足可申冤了!” “岂敢岂敢!”左轮泰打恭作揖说。 “我有一个问题!”蒙戈利将军顿了顿说:“报纸上刊载,万国博览商展会劫案之中,有人运用神枪射击技术制造火警,相距有好几百码的距离,在天坛展览室的屋顶上,以神枪射击办公大厦内预藏着的燃烧瓦斯,制造出一场虚惊的大火,藉以引诱现场的员工及警卫们的注意,这样的技术,不知道左轮泰先生是否同样可以办到?” 左轮泰心中不安,蒙戈利将军到底不是一位简单的人物,几乎可以说是一语道破呢,当着史天奴探长的眼前,左轮泰不能一口承认,那场火警就是他制造的。 “那只是雕虫小技罢了!”他含糊其词地回答。 “好的!”蒙戈利将军一击掌,说:“我们把你的事情谈完,就到我的靶场上去欣赏你的神枪绝技!” 左轮泰在礼貌上连忙应允。 蒙戈利将军复又向骆驼说:“骆驼大教授,在万国博览会劫案发生之后,我曾接获一封无头的告密信,使你蒙受不白之冤,想必警方有给你为难之处?” 骆驼说:“蒙戈利将军府要冤枉一个老百姓时,真比吃白菜还要简单!” 蒙戈利将军一笑,又说:“你声明擅长捉鬼,我有一件事请教!” “不敢当,愿听吩咐!” “约在二十分钟之前,我的办公桌上有一叠纸片无风自飞,像化作纸蝴蝶似地纷飞出窗外,是何道理?” 骆驼打量了蒙戈利将军的办公桌,指着上面有太阳照进的一角,说:“是否由这儿起飞的?” 蒙戈利将军点头。 骆驼说:“答案非常简单,用阳起石捣烂成粉状,清水调之涂于纸上阴乾,剪成碎片,烈阳晒之即会高飞,向热方飞去!” 蒙戈利将军两眼矍铄,感到很有趣,立时又指着佛烈德说:“佛烈德一夜之间变了一张鬼脸,又是怎么回事?” 骆驼说:“五棓子,皂凡,银珠,这全是我国的土药,和肥皂涂于面上,就会变成一张鬼脸,佛烈德先生被人开玩笑罢了!” “他的头发脱落呢?” 骆驼说:“剃头不用刀!石黄,石灰各一两,樟脑二钱,捣成末,调水搽发上,待乾,头发一碰即落!吃生花生和香蕉,即可治愈!” “原来闹鬼的是你!”蒙戈利将军压低了嗓子,向骆驼附耳说。 骆驼也压低了嗓子,故作神秘地附耳回答蒙戈利将军:“自命风流潇洒,调戏良家妇女,给他一点惩罚,以儆效尤!” 蒙戈利将军大乐,笑不拢口,又说:“昨晚上我的将军府闹了一夜鬼,有厉鬼整夜拍门呢!” 骆驼说:“天南星为末,用醋调匀,涂纸贴于门上,再加上某一种特制的药物,到了夜静时,借蝙蝠觅食拍门,小魔术罢了!” “你是魔鬼大将军,所有的厉鬼全听由你的调动!” “为了申冤,不得不玩一点小把戏,实在说,蒙戈利将军和民间接触太少,有人欺上瞒下,一手遮天,老百姓申冤无处,不得不调借鬼魂代言!” “好的,你们有什么冤屈只管说出来!”蒙戈利将军打算为他将军府的名声好好整肃一番了。 “凭什么理由?警署限制我自由行动,就只因为蒙戈利将军接到一封无头信么?”骆驼问。 蒙戈利将军的一双铜铃眼便瞪在史天奴探长的身上。 史天奴忙双手一摊,说:“限制离境令已经取消了!” “你代表'满山农场'有什么冤情要申诉的?”蒙戈利将军又指着左轮泰说。 “蒙戈利将军,恕不客气请教一个问题!”左轮泰也改变了一种语气。 "Just talk!" “我想开一条道路,辟开你将军府的城墙,由东到西,横贯而过,请蒙戈利将军批准!” 蒙戈利将军愕然,迟疑着说:“开什么玩笑?当然不能批准……” 左轮泰便说:“那么将军府仗着权势,在'满山农场'正中央横贯开出一条道路,理由是军事上的需要,请问老百姓有何感想?将军府要对什么人作战?” 蒙戈利将军凝呆着,像是哑口无言了,他立刻想起,这好像是佛烈德的主意,开辟这条道路也是佛烈德一手包办的。 左轮泰说:“将军只需推开窗户,就可以一目了然,一条道路将老百姓的产业分为两半,汽车飞驰其间,好像目中无人;出了车祸,又不顾交通道德,置车祸受伤者生死不顾,扬长而去,老百性能向谁申诉?伤者没敢吭声,直到群医束手,药石罔效,饮恨黄泉!” “车祸是什么人……”蒙戈利将军向秘书室主任盘问。 大家的眼光便集中到佛烈德的身上去,使佛烈德局促不安。 “不是我……”他否认说。 “一定要严办!” “将军别听谗言,是有人故意陷害我的……”佛烈德说时,两眼灼灼,怔对着骆驼和左轮泰,希望他们口下留情,给他留一点余地,便大声说:“朋友!我们彼此之间从未见过面,无冤无仇,为什么要使我难堪呢?” 左轮泰说:“我们是曾经见过面的,只怕是你'贵人事忙',忘记了!” “在什么地方?”佛烈德抬起手搔头皮,又抓下了一把头发,“内忧外患”使他“五脏俱焚”。 左轮泰说:“你在'满山农场'向朱黛诗求婚的时候!” “求婚?”蒙戈利将军觉得事情越来越新鲜了,佛烈德既然向“满山农场”的女主人求婚,又为什么和“满山农场”作对呢?蒙戈利将军是一个机警的战略家,他立刻想通了是怎么回事,分明是逼婚呢。 “下流!”他口出秽语。 佛烈德知道自己已是大限难逃,连忙说:“将军,在'满山农场'开辟公路,是经过你同意的,为什么将责任推在我一个人的身上?……” 蒙戈利将军挥手说:“你下去,别面对着我,惹我生气!” 佛烈德恼羞成怒,仍不肯走,向左轮泰咆哮说:“造谣生事,我不饶你
