Chapter 34 Chapter Eleven

Two days after the above-mentioned incident, the police department did an investigation and there was no news. However, this small road robbery case has been published in various daily newspapers.The news is published in a corner that is not noticed; the place occupies a very small place, if the person who talks about the newspaper reads carelessly, this unimportant news may slip past the corner of his eyes. The news said this: There was a road robbery on Haige Road in this city at about 9:00 last night. The victims were the mother of the famous wealthy family Guo Dazhao and his wife Miao (according to Guo, a student studying in Germany, he left home five years ago. She hasn’t returned yet.) At that time, Guo’s aunt and daughter-in-law went out from their residence on Tongfu Road, and planned to go somewhere in their own car. Unexpectedly, the car passed Haig Road, and suddenly several gangsters jumped out from the side of the road, holding guns and blocking the traffic. He boarded the car and ransacked at will. At that time, several pieces of valuable jewelry and some cash were taken away. Immediately, Guo's house was about to pass by, and he reported to the police station for arrest.

On the day the news was published, that is, the day before the deadline stated in the threatening letter, on the next day, Ms. Miao received another call. The tone of the call was stern. In the final notice, if you receive this "Final Notice" and fail to pay the payment within the time limit, you will take measures to "cut the line" and will never make any accommodation. ——Look, how fierce is this "one-sided" approach? If Miss Miao had received this call a few days ago, she probably had no other choice but to cry to it.But this time, instead of crying to it, she was still smiling at it.However, this coming negotiation must be done. The main thing is that the important heart that has been wandering outside must be retrieved.She still entrusted Ada with the full power of negotiation. ——She believed that this clever driver must have a clever way to handle this matter.

Therefore, Ada went to visit Cheng Liben, who wanted to make a fortune of 300,000 yuan, according to the address given in the threatening letter, and as a plenipotentiary representative. In fact, when Ada went to make this negotiation, he didn't do it alone, but there was another person who acted as Ada's consultant.Don't think that the person who rides with the driver Ada is also a person who is not good.The consultant, however, had the appearance of a "high-class Chinese". Although the suit he was wearing looked bulky, the material was quite noble.He was a short man in his forties, with an orange-peel face and some short mustaches, which was kind of funny.Ada took a respectful attitude towards this person, and kept calling him Lawyer Meng.

This Lawyer Meng usually likes to drink some sand filter water, so his voice is a bit rusty when he speaks.But he valued his sandy tone very much, and whenever Ada spoke to him, he always nodded slightly, not very much participating in his "jurisprudential opinions". The two found the mansion of the blackmailer according to the address. At that time, the time was only around nine o'clock in the morning.On the road, some voices that have been cooked by the fireworks are singing the titles of various morning newspapers. On the door of that amateur blackmailer, there was actually a bronze plaque inlaid with the words "Cheng Mansion". ——This situation is not unusual in the silver-gray metropolis. ——Looking at the ostentation of the house, it's about the size of a third-class mansion.Pressing the electric bell, he called to open the door, and a servant came out to answer.Although the rich owner who lives in the mansion is not a current bureaucrat, he has a bureaucratic air of "full cash". Therefore, when Ada stepped forward to ask to see the owner here, the guy who opened the door immediately blinked his eyes and asked He asks for a business card.It seems that if you don't have a business card, you can't get the right to see him.

Everyone, don't forget Ada's identity, he is just a driver.As a basic chauffeur, of course, I don't have the habit of bringing a business card when I go out.He had no choice but to borrow a pen from that big lawyer Meng and ask for a piece of paper to make it impromptu. So Ada picked up the ink pen, and scrawled the word "Ada" in the center of the piece of paper; in addition, in the place where the titles were arranged, he added the words "Guo Mansion's Chauffeur" Character.He thought for a while, and wrote another line in the lower corner of the slip of paper—the place where Feng Ya’s friend stamped his signature—that is:

"Nicknamed Slot Tiger." The "employee" clicked the impromptu video and looked suspiciously at Ada in shorts; then he shifted his gaze to the well-dressed Attorney Meng, who thought that this guy was also going to ask him Request a business card.He was very generous, and immediately automatically took out a printed business card from his suit pocket, and proudly handed it to the man.This card reads: The decent words "Meng Da Law Firm" are added in the upper corner; the location and telephone number of the mansion office are listed in detail in the lower corner, which can be called everything.

The errand looked at the two people with different identities, so the two business cards were handed in. According to the rules, the owner here does not visit guests at this "too early" time.But this time, probably for the sake of the "face" of "Guo Mansion", there were exceptions, and there were still exceptions. After the two films were handed in, they were accepted by the owner without any delay. Three minutes later, Ada and his companion, Lawyer Meng, were invited into a rather decent living room to meet the host. The host, Cheng Liben, sat on a round swivel chair with a round belly and a round face.The two line-like eyes are paying attention to these two visitors with a very attentive look. ——In short, this Mr. Cheng Liben is none other than the guy with caricature lines who went to the swimming pool that day.

At this time, this villain with an official face, because he saw that one of the two visitors was a lawyer.There was a look of suspicion on his face. ——He felt that if the negotiation in front of him was going to be resolved peacefully, it seemed that he didn't need a lawyer at all.Now that a lawyer has come, I am afraid that the way of negotiation may not be peaceful again. ——But even so, his face was still very calm. When Lawyer Meng walked in, the owner saw his suit, and immediately put a smile on his round face.He hurriedly called out, "Please sit down!" But he looked at Ada who was following in shorts, but he didn't give him the same "preferential treatment".

However, Ada is a chauffeur after all, and the chauffeur certainly doesn't understand "politeness", so he automatically picked the most comfortable chair to sit in without waiting for the owner to let him sit; Before sitting down, he automatically took a cigarette that was placed on the coffee table for guests, lit it automatically, and smoked it leisurely. The master gave him a blank stare, as if blaming him for "having no rules"!But for the sake of the short lawyer, he couldn't say anything. So a smile was added to that round face, and he spoke to the noble dwarf who was sitting upright:

"Lawyer Meng is under the influence of Guo..." Before he could finish his sentence, the driver immediately spoke beside him: "If you have any questions, you can contact me. I am the plenipotentiary representative of Mrs. Guo." The master hurriedly turned his head, only to see the driver saying this in a serious manner.A wisp of smoke was escaping from the corner of his crooked mouth--a hideous sight! This situation surprised the round-faced Mr. Cheng Liben, and he hurriedly looked at the big lawyer Meng to ask him to stop him.But the barrister remained silent, clearly acquiescing to what the driver said.

Tianguan stared blankly at these two people, his eyes turned into a line, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.However, he hesitated for a while, and finally asked Ada: "You said you are the plenipotentiary representative of Mrs. Guo? Then, what is your reason for coming?" "We are going to do exactly what you said in the letter." Ada slowly exhaled smoke. "You mean to say that you have brought the money and are going to get that thing back?" "Exactly." "You know our price, there is no discount." The cartoon-like round belly swayed on the swivel chair, and he felt that his boat had encountered a favorable wind and was going very smoothly.So he had to pull up the canopy a little extra.When he was talking, he looked at the short lawyer again, wondering in his heart, why didn't this guy speak?While thinking about it, I heard the coachman say in a big way: "Hey! I didn't tell you to ask for a counter-offer!" "Then, the money must be in cash. If it is a check, we have to wait for the cash before we can handle the delivery." When the master spoke, there was a smile on his face, but he felt that the other party was very interested in this. Negotiations seem to be a bit too "easy to talk", which makes him a little suspicious.Therefore, he purposely pulled the canopy straighter, trying to test the other party's tone. Unexpectedly, when the driver heard his "out-of-the-box" words, he only said indifferently: "As for payment, of course everyone welcomes cash. It's not just you, let's say it's you. You have money to pay me, and I welcome cash and dislike cheques." How beautifully Ada spoke these few words!The master was very satisfied when he heard it; because he was so satisfied, he didn't notice a subtle smile flashing on the face of the other party.So he said frankly: "According to my plan for Mrs. Guo, this straightforward method is the most appropriate way. This little money is of course a drop in the bucket in the eyes of Guo's family; Comparing their reputations with each other, the difference is incomparable." "Yes! It's for this reason, so our young mistress must send me to discuss this matter with you as soon as possible." "Then, when are you going to pay this sum of money?—You young mistresses always know that the appointment date has almost arrived." Cheng Liben put on a very kind face to show his politeness. "Wait a minute!" Ada said, "The young mistress told us that we must have a look at the item first. Of course, we can't just rely on a word in your letter to believe that the item is really in your hands." He replied Turning around, he said to the barrister pretending to be dumb: "Lawyer Meng, do you think so?" "Yes! Yes! We must have a look at it and see if it is real. The amount is 300,000 yuan, which is not too small to say the least." Attorney Meng dragged his hands with a serious look. Hoarse tones express opinions.This is his first "open mouth". What the two said was very reasonable, and of course Mr. Cheng Liben couldn't refute it. Besides, he thought that if the things were in his house, he would show them them, and he was not afraid of them taking them away.So he said frankly: "Okay! It's okay to show you, but with my status, can I still tell lies?" He got up, spun his bulbous belly around, and staggered out the door.After a while, he came back again, holding a small purple velvet plate for jewelry in his hand. ——Thanks to his kindness, it seems that he was afraid of damaging this precious ornament, so he specially used this elegant box to pack it up. ——He looked at the two people with a serious attitude, as if he was not sure who should hand over the things, probably in order to obtain legal protection. Finally, he finally put the purple velvet box, Handed it to the barrister. The barrister took it in his hand, opened the lid of the box, lifted the gold chain, took out the heart that had experienced a strange experience, took a look at it, and put it back in the box.At this time, Ada gave him a signal that no one else could see, so the barrister nodded proudly and said, "That's right, it's the real thing, there's nothing wrong with it." "So, when are you going to pay?" Cheng Liben said, while still stretching out his hand, ready to turn over the box, he saw Ada fumbling in his pocket, he thought the driver was taking out the money he had brought. .He thought: The cash of 300,000 yuan must not fit in his pocket. If the other party took out a check, he must insist on receiving the cash and then delivering the goods. While thinking about it, I saw the driver of Ada taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was not the check he expected, but a newspaper, folded very small. —This is the day's paper fresh off the reel. —the chauffeur opened it and threw it in front of him.When Cheng Liben reached out to pick up the newspaper, he felt that the other party's attitude was too rude; on the other hand, he didn't understand why the driver threw the newspaper to him.Lowering his eyelids, Fang Shi noticed that there was a piece of news in this newspaper, which was specially drawn out with red ink. Mr. Cheng opened his linear eyes very wide, and read through the marked things in this section in one breath. He knew that the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been robbed the night before.But he still didn't understand why the driver wanted to tell him the news. He thought that Mrs. Guo wanted to use the road robbery as an excuse to ask for a price reduction or postpone the payment date.So he said casually: "Why, your young mistress, have you encountered a road robbery?—But..." "Exactly! Our young mistress' luck is very bad." Ada said first: "This time, she was robbed of some cash and some jewelry..." At this point, he turned his eyes to that The barrister raised his hand and went on to say: "The heart-shaped photo box that Lawyer Meng is holding is also an important item on the loss list!" "What do you say?" The fat man jumped up almost like a tiger!But before he could speak, he heard the driver say coldly: "You have already seen this news.——When the robbery happened, Mrs. Guo was also there, and she saw it with her own eyes. And, we The matter has been reported to the police station on the spot.” After the fat man heard this, his ball-shaped stomach almost felt as if he had been kicked hard and let out his breath!His round red face suddenly turned white.Immediately he thought, that the heart-shaped ornament was held in his hands, that must be before Mrs. Guo knew about it, so that he could exert great power and squeeze the blood out of Mrs. Guo.Now, if it is true, as the driver said, that the old lady saw this ornament being taken from her daughter-in-law by robbers, then, needless to say anything else, wouldn't the weapon lose its effectiveness completely?When thinking about it, his eyes could no longer restore to two leisurely slits.But he didn't understand, since the jewelry was in his hands, how could it be robbed in the car?After all, he is quite a smart person, his dazed eyes rolled slightly, and immediately he understood what kind of tricks this was, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that he himself had fallen into the opponent's trick box.For a moment, his pale complexion became even more pale. But he saw the sly driver still smiling at him.He couldn't help roaring and said: "What? You said that this jewelry was stolen in a car?" "You can go to the police station to see who lost the order." Ada puffed on himself. "Didn't you say, then, that I robbed the jewelry?—you bastard!" "That's about it!" "How dare you try to blackmail me!" The round-faced guy slammed the table.He felt that the situation in front of him was already messed up!But he still wanted to bluff to scare off his enemies: "You don't even know who I am, but you want to blackmail me!" As he fired the cannon, he watched the silent lawyer, and while he was hesitating to calculate whether it was necessary to forcefully claim the purple velvet box back, he heard the driver say sarcastically: "Blackmail? That's it." It's the most accurate term." When Ada said, he took out another piece of letter paper from his bag, and waved it in front of the fat man: "Is this letter written by you?" When the fat man saw the letter, his first thought was to deny it, but the second thought was undeniable, so he could only admit in a hurry: "Yes, I wrote the letter. But I wrote the letter first." , after you are robbed, you can’t force these two things together. Make a trap to blackmail me.” "That's fine, as long as you admit the letter," Ada turned to the lawyer and said, "Lawyer Meng, please write down what this gentleman said." The law marshal took out a booklet from his bag in a high spirited manner.This booklet contains the names and telephone numbers of many singers.He copied several phone numbers several times, stuffed the pamphlet into his pocket, and then said proudly: "I have written down the words of this gentleman, and I am a witness." The shrewdest gambler of any kind in the world will play his cards wrong when he is a little careless. ——The Mr. Cheng in front of him realized his mistake after he dealt out the card. —he should not have admitted to having written the letter. ——He was immediately stunned! But Ada sent the letter directly in front of him and said with a smile, "Please read the date on this letter." Taking advantage of Ada's unguardedness, Cheng Liben snatched the letter into his hands.He made a gesture to take a few steps back, picked it up and looked at it, only to see that the letter was correct, it was his original letter, but the date on the letter had changed to yesterday's date.If you look closely, there is no trace of alteration at all. ——(This is a letter written in blue ink, as long as you use some sulfuric acid and ammonia, the original handwriting can be erased and rewritten. The method is very simple.) ——He stared The eyeballs were speechless.After thinking about it, he gave a wry smile and prepared to tear up the letter. But Ada said to the barrister nonchalantly: "Lawyer Meng, please pay attention, this gentleman is going to tear up this letter, he wants to destroy the evidence!" "It doesn't matter! Our photo is very clear, and it is no different from this original letter." The barrister replied hoarsely. So far, we, the caricature guys, feel that the defeat at the front line is almost out of control.He could only breathe out bursts of air like the locomotive of a train.But he is still planning the "avoidance campaign", and he kept roaring: "Good! Good! I am going to meet you with the law." "We most welcome this method. Otherwise, why would we invite this barrister to come with us?" Ada looked back at the barrister: "Hi! Lawyer Meng, what do you think?" "That's right, we used to rely on the law for our living." Attorney Meng replied indifferently. ——Don't look down on this cricket that doesn't open its mouth. Its teeth are very sharp when it opens its mouth occasionally!
