Chapter 154: Stealing Evidence

Xiao Zhenlei turned around and held the water pipe on the wall back to the east windowsill, and saw Delma still lying on the floor unconscious, he jumped into the room from the windowsill, walked to Delma and squatted down and reached out to grab her head, as long as he used a little force, he could twist this woman's neck, just wanted to do it, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the true identity of this woman, why did she kill herself, if she killed her, what if someone else came to kill herself? Wouldn't it be very troublesome if there was a steady stream of killers? Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei slowly let go of his hand, it seemed that he still had to figure out the true identity of this woman and the reason why she wanted to kill herself.

It is obviously not appropriate to interrogate here, wouldn't it be bad if the woman was sober and yelling? And it is impossible to take this woman out of the villa, there are many guards inside and outside the villa, this will not work, it seems that the only way to do this is to let this woman go first, and then find time to inform Wang Yaqiao to send someone to keep an eye on this woman and find her foothold.

When he came down from the second floor, Xiao Zhenlei just saw Madié walking out of the door with his female companion, obviously preparing to leave, he immediately walked up to Wang Yanan and Cheng Baguio and said, "Two beauties, can you go?" ”

Cheng Baguio smiled: "Let's go, in fact, this kind of gathering of the bigwigs in the concession is just like this, it's not fun!" ”

Wang Yanan echoed: "I think so too!" ”

"Let's go!" Xiao Zhenlei immediately left the hall with the two girls and walked out.

After leaving the villa, Xiao Zhenlei noticed the direction in which Madière's carriage was leaving, and he was about to look for Goudan, and Goudan drove the carriage over. Opiyin also jumped out of the carriage.

"Yanan, Baguio, you go back in the carriage first. I remember that I still have a business to discuss, so I'll go to you another day, okay? ”

The two women glanced at each other. Wang Yanan nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't be too late, it's not safe outside now, you have to pay attention."

"I know!" Xiao Zhenlei said a word and patted Opiyin on the shoulder: "Hey, Opiyin, after you send these two beautiful ladies back, you will go back to Xiao Mansion directly with Goudan, don't wait for me, I will go back by myself later!" ”

Opiyin agreed: "Okay. Mr! ”

The two girls quickly got into the carriage, Opiyin also sat next to the dog, and the dog drove the carriage away, Xiao Zhenlei walked along the carriages on the side of the road after the carriage left, the owners of these carriages were still in the villa and did not come out, while the coachmen of the carriage sat in the carriage and waited.

Xiao Zhenlei walked to a carriage and saw that the coachman was napping, so he stretched out his hand to press the coachman's carotid artery, and the coachman's head quickly drooped and passed out. He pushed the unconscious coachman into the carriage. He jumped to the driver's position and lifted the reins, shook the reins, and shouted: "Drive-"

The carriage that Madière was riding in had gradually faded away, and only a black dot could be seen, Xiao Zhenlei whipped the horses with a horsewhip, and the carriage ran at a speed. Soon after, Madière's carriage was re-seen, and he slowed down and hung far behind.

The two carriages were more than 100 meters apart, and Xiao Zhenlei always drove the carriage to hang behind unhurriedly. Half an hour later, Madiere's carriage entered a manor-like building on Bixun Road. Xiao Zhenlei drove the carriage to a slow stop, and he found the official residence of the chief director of the French Concession Public Board of Directors.

"Rub. I knew that he would be staying in the official residence of the chief director tonight, so I didn't have to rush like this, and it was not too late to send Yanan and Baguio back to come back! Xiao Zhenlei cursed in his heart, drove the carriage under a dark tree, tied the reins of the horse, and then slowly walked to the official residence of the chief director.

The residence was built four years ago and has been used by successive directors, and Madiere's family has been living there for four or five months. Because the white palace on the green lawn resembles the White House in Washington, D.C., it is called the "Little White House". The overall design is rigorous and artistic, dignified and gorgeous, representing the power of the French, as well as their art and romance. It is dignified and gorgeous, rigorous and artistic. The whole building is designed with great emphasis on the horizontal lines of the form, and in front of the main building is a large lawn with French art style. On the first floor, there are coupon doors, on both sides of which are Ionic double columns, and the doors and windows are decorated with beautiful reliefs; The windows on the second floor are simple rectangular windows with lockstone carvings, and the floor and ceiling of the hall on the ground floor are decorated with marble, and the ceiling is decorated with exquisite carvings.

Xiao Zhenlei stood in the corner of the iron railing and observed the situation on the lawn of the general director's residence, there was a cement road leading directly to the downstairs entrance of the "Little White House" at the gate, and there were landscape trees planted on both sides of the road, and two guards with rifles kept walking back and forth along the iron railing close to the road. If you want to get close to the "Little White House" in the official residence of the director, you must avoid the sight of these two guards.

Xiao Zhenlei observed for a long time and found that if he wanted to avoid the sight of the two guards, it was only feasible when the two of them walked away from the gate to both sides, but he had to be light, and the slightest movement would be noticed by the guards.

After finding a way to infiltrate, Xiao Zhenlei bent down and slowly approached the iron gate of the gate along the stone wall under the iron railing, and the guard walked through the courtyard wall less than three meters away from him with a gun on his back, and after about a minute, he slowly touched the big iron gate and leaned against the big stone pier.

Leaning on the big stone pier at the door and waiting for nearly two minutes, the two guards walked in the opposite direction and finally returned to the gate, they turned back to back at the gate, and walked to the sides again, after the two walked twenty meters, Xiao Zhenlei immediately put one hand on the stone pier, stepped on the iron railing, one foot and one hand force, the body flew up, very lightly jumped over the iron railing and jumped into the courtyard and landed gently, he immediately stepped on the lawn quickly and carefully ran to the roadside landscape tree in the courtyard, in the process, The two guards didn't notice the abnormal situation at all, Xiao Zhenlei sneaked to the first tree and hid behind him and turned his head to look, the two guards still walked to the sides, he saw this situation, and immediately ran to the landscape tree in front of him again, and ran all the way to the porch on the first floor of the "Little White House" in one breath.

Even though it is not yet time for the Consul General to concurrently serve as the Director-General, the power of the Director-General is still very great, and the Director-General can give orders from within this building. Majestic, this position is the focus of many people's contention. And there are many people who serve in this official residence.

In order not to be discovered, Xiao Zhenlei quickly hid his figure in the darkness of the wall. He searched for a while before he found a place where he could climb to the second floor, there was a window on the second floor above a pillar on the left side that was open, he climbed down the pillar to the window on the second floor, the light was on in the room, but there was no one, the door was closed, and the decoration should be a girl's boudoir.

Jumping into the window from the windowsill, Xiao Zhenlei looked at the room for a while, then walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and stuck out his head to observe the outside. Outside the house was found to be a hallway.

Out of the room, Xiao Zhenlei found that there was no one on the second floor, the whole building was brightly lit, and the people in this house were now on the first floor, just when Xiao Zhenlei was trying to find the "evidence" that Madière said, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, someone came upstairs, Xiao Zhenlei immediately walked to the side of the stairs to see that it was Madière who came up. He retreated into the hallway to find a room next to him, reached out and grabbed the handle, and the door was twisted open, and it was pitch black inside. Unable to see the layout inside, he immediately dodged into the room and hid behind the door, and when his gaze adjusted, he saw that this room was actually a study.

Wait a minute. Den? Madière must have come into the study at this time, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei couldn't stay behind the door. He immediately walked to the window with limited light and noticed that the curtains were very long. It is a floor-to-ceiling window, and there is a distance of about 20 centimeters between the windowsill and the curtain, this distance should be able to hide a person, he immediately opened the curtain and stood on the windowsill and then slowly lowered the curtain, just put down the curtain, he heard the handle of the door was twisted, Madière really came to the study, Xiao Zhenlei couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on his cleverness.

After the door of the study was opened, the electric light in the room was turned on, and Xiao Zhenlei saw Madier walk in through the gap in the curtain and close the door.

Madière closed the door and bolted it from the inside, before turning and entering, and instead of going behind the desk and settling down, he went to a cabinet and crouched down.

What is that? Xiao Zhenlei saw it clearly, the iron thing that was only about sixty centimeters high, could it be that the gray cloth covered it was a safe?

When Madière uncovered the gray cloth and revealed the true face of the thing, Xiao Zhenlei knew that he had guessed correctly, it was really a safe, very old-fashioned, with only a turntable combination lock on the front, Madière kept twisting on the turntable combination lock, Xiao Zhenlei immediately stared at the twisting turntable.

"Click!" The safe opened, and Xiao Zhenlei also breathed a sigh of relief, he finally remembered the twisting way of the turntable.

Madière heard the sound of the safe, knew it was opened, twisted the handle to pull the door open, he took out a small notebook from the safe, turned around and sat down behind the desk, then opened the small notebook and flipped through it, until he turned several pages, he stopped and put the small notebook on the desk, he took out a Parker brand pen from the pen holder, twisted the cap, and began to write on the small notebook.

Xiao Zhenlei hid behind the curtains, his eyes were full of energy, he looked at the small book, and thought in his heart, could that little book be the evidence that Madier said? This possibility is not impossible, and it is very large, think about it, Madié was angry with Pansuna, and he said that he had evidence to record the shady political transactions between them, so the first thing he did after he came back was to record the amount of money he sent to Pansuna today, which is very likely.

Madière did not write long in the notebook, he quickly wrote it, then turned to the front and looked at it, then closed the notebook with satisfaction, got up and walked to the safe again, squatted down and put the notebook in, closed the door of the safe, twisted the turntable a few times, covered it with a gray cloth, and then got up and left.

The room was dark again, Xiao Zhenlei opened the curtains, jumped lightly from the windowsill, and gently walked under the safe to uncover the gray cloth, he took out a box of foreign fire from his pocket, took out a match and lit it, and then the faint light of the match illuminated the turntable on the door of the safe, and immediately twisted according to his memory.

"Click!" The safe rang, he reached out and twisted the handle to open the door of the safe, at this time the match was just extinguished, he reached into the safe and took out the small book, because the light was too dark, he couldn't see what was written in the small book, he could only light a match again, after the match was lit, he immediately opened the small book, only glanced at it and concluded that this was the evidence that Madière said, turned to the last page, it was recorded that it was indeed the matter of handing over 30,000 taels of silver to Pansuna in Feige's villa tonight, there was a specific time record on it, there was time, Places, people, events, detailed amounts of money, and some of the conversations between Pansuna and Madière, such a detailed record, even if it was only Madiere's one-sided record, was enough to kill Pansuna!

The match went out again, Xiao Zhenlei put the small notebook in his pocket, closed the safe and locked it, then got up and walked to the door to listen to the movement, he found that someone had come up outside, and it was very likely that he would be found if he wanted to go out of the study, so he had to leave through the window.
