Agui's body was crooked, taking one step forward and two steps back, and went upstairs along the wooden stairs that were in disrepair.
The lights in the corridor on the fourth floor are still the same, flickering on and off, like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Agui held the wall and retched for a while, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the stain around his mouth, muttering: "Damn old guy, you still have to take the next step, do you have what it takes..."
"Miss Agui, you came back so early, don't you have to go to work today?" Xu Siqi followed slowly from behind, carrying his briefcase.
Agui leaned against the wall, looked at Xu Siqi with drunken eyes for a while, and said: "I've finished your work for you, why else do you have to work..."
Xu Siqi raised his index finger and made a silencing gesture.
Agui curled her lips: "What are you afraid of? There isn't even a ghost in the corridor, so there's nothing else I can't say."
Xu Siqi pointed to room 8 and whispered: "Go in and talk."
Agui was a little disapproving: "You are a patrol officer, why are you so timid?..."
The door across the way creaked, and a man wearing high-rimmed glasses and a neatly combed back hair came out. Seeing Agui looking drunk, he hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand to help her.
Agui pushed him and said impatiently: "Don't touch me!"
"Agui, you drank too much..."
"You don't have to worry about drinking too much! Bai, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything in the future, I'll have Inspector Xu arrest you!"
"Agui, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything..." The man surnamed Bai looked embarrassed.
Agui said angrily: "I dare to say no, my claws will be chopped off for you! To tell you the truth, I am not someone to be trifled with!"
The man surnamed Bai was red-faced and stood aside at a loss as to whether he should leave or not. He made A Gui's words seem a bit unbearable.
Xu Siqi said politely: "Mr. Bai, why are you going out so late?"
"I'm going out to meet a friend. Uh, sorry, I'm in a hurry."
After saying this, the man surnamed Bai lowered his head and hurriedly walked between the two of them. The sound of footsteps going downstairs was soon heard in the distance.
"You want to find a woman without spending any money. Do you think that because your surname is Bai, you can do it for free? Damn you? Go ahead and dream!" Agui spat at the stairs.
Xu Siqi said: "I think Mr. Bai is a very nice person? He is also very nice to you."
"What a fart, full of evil!"
Agui opened the satchel? Did he dig through it to find the door key? When he went to open the door, the satchel fell from his hand and fell on the floor? The contents of the satchel were scattered all over the floor.
Xu Siqi took two steps, squatted down and picked up the satchel. He put the perfume bottles, cigarettes, rouge powder, etc. that fell on the ground back into the satchel.
Agui unlocked the door, pushed it twice before pushing it open, and was so angry that she slammed the door and said, "The door isn't repaired? The lights aren't repaired either? The black-hearted landlord doesn't care about anything, so he just collects the rent..."
…”
"Hold the bag." Xu Siqi handed over the satchel.
Agui reached out and took the bag, with a half-smile on his face, and said: "You, you look so polite and kind on the outside? In fact, you have been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, right?"
Xu Siqi frowned: "Are you drinking too much?"
While they were talking? The two of them entered the house one after another.
"Sit down wherever you want, you're welcome? I'll get you a soda..."
"Agui, stop being busy."
"Shall I get you a soda? Coca-Cola..."
"Let me ask you? Where are the soles of those shoes?"
"In the bag."
"In the bag? Why didn't I see it?"
All the contents of Agui's satchel were poured out? Then he took out a pair of cloth shoe soles from the bottom of the satchel. The shoe soles happened to be size seven and a half. These were the shoes that left footprints on the window sill.
"How is it, you can't think of it?" Agui shook the soles of his shoes proudly.
There is a mezzanine inside the satchel, and the shoe soles are hidden in only a thin layer. As long as they are not secret service personnel, few people will notice.
He thought for a moment and said, "I asked you to hide the soles of your shoes on your body. Why did you hide them in your bag?"
"That old pervert is dishonest. If he touches..."
"Impossible! I've calculated the time correctly, he's not in the mood to do that kind of thing."
"I'm not in the mood to do that kind of thing... It seems like you understand very well. Have you done it with your girlfriend?" Agui couldn't stop laughing.
"..."
Xu Siqi took out an envelope of silver coins from his briefcase, placed it gently on the coffee table, then put the soles of his shoes into the bag and said, "Miss Agui, what's going on tonight..."
Agui rushed to say: "It must be rotten in the stomach, and it will not do me any good to talk about it. You have said it so many times, it is really verbose."
Xu Siqi nodded: "Besides, even if you tell me about this matter, I don't have to admit it. Liang Hongzhi can't do anything to me, but it's different for you, do you understand?"
Agui sighed and said in a long voice: "I understand. You are Detective Xu, I am just a dancer who is bullied. Who can believe my words? It's not what you say."
Xu Siqi stood up, opened the door and walked out. Just as he was about to take out the key and open the door, he heard a rumble in Agui's house. He listened for a while and asked through the door: "Are you okay?"
The door suddenly opened, revealing Agui's smiling face, saying: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. Detective Xu, let me tell you something, do you want to hear it?"
"What's up?"
"There is not a single good thing on the entire fourth floor of Shenjiang Apartment!"
"..."
"Oh, except you and Teacher Zhang."
The teacher Zhang Agui mentioned is Zhang Liwei who lives in Room 11 on the other side of the corridor. He is a Chinese teacher at Muertang Mission School. He is polite and polite in dealing with others and is very popular in the whole building.
The Mr. Bai just now, whose real name is Bai Jiuqing, is a low-profile supporting actor at Nanhua Film Company, and has appeared in several films with no response.
Although he is dressed neatly and respectably, he actually only has a set of decent clothes outside his home. He has not filmed movies for a long time, and his economic situation is basically one where he cannot make ends meet.
Bai Jiuqing has a notorious reputation. He was once imprisoned in the patrol cell for being immoral and hiding in the women's bathroom to plot evil.
"Not to mention the scumbag surnamed Bai, there is also the old beggar woman in Room 5. Everyone talks about me, saying that I am a kiln sister or something like that. What's wrong with the kiln sister? She is in her fifties and describes her all day long.
Having eyebrows and sideburns is not a good thing when you are young!" Agui said angrily.
"We are all neighbors, let's accommodate each other. Well, you can rest, I'm going back."
"Hey, I haven't finished talking yet..."
Seeing Xu Siqi closing the door, Agui snorted and muttered: "You are not a good person either!"
…
The person who called Liang Hongzhi today was indeed Wang Guanqiao himself, and the letter was also written by him, which can completely withstand handwriting verification.
After the assassination of Edrich was exposed, the Nationalist Government issued a high reward and wanted Wang Guanqiao throughout the city. If he wanted to leave Shanghai smoothly, he would need external help.
Xu Siqi still contacted Wang Guanqiao as a national soldier, asked him to write such a letter, and then made a phone call to threaten Liang Hongzhi.
Xu Siqi promised that he would arrange the rest by himself, and there was no need for Wang Guanqiao to come forward. He would just wait for the dividends to arrive.
In fact, it was impossible for Wang Guanqiao to come forward to help. Wanted posters for him were posted everywhere on the streets. No matter how courageous he was, he knew he should avoid the limelight.
Xu Siqi had discovered a long time ago that Agui hated Liang Hongzhi extremely, and Liang Hongzhi committed the same problem as most men. The more he couldn't get, the more he wanted it.
