Chapter 168: The Disappearing Blonde Woman

"This is not necessarily, you just said that you gave them money, so I told you, maybe it was to be greedy for more money, so I deliberately told you!" Monet raised the bar.

"No, no, they're all that old!" Chen Yuanqi retorted with some disbelief.

"Greed for money has nothing to do with age!" Monet retorted.

"But they all say the same thing, is it because of this wrong word?" Chen Yuanqi asked again.

"To make money, you have to talk about professional ethics!" Monet shrugged.

But seeing that Chen Yuanqi was deep in thought, as if he was very concerned, Monet smiled and said with relief: "Okay, don't think about it, I'm imagining an extreme situation, which is not normal for you." ”

Seeing Monet say this, Chen Yuanqi also cooperated and changed the topic: "By the way, Tony, I remember that you are going to invite Mr. Mei Lanfang to perform in the United States, right?" ”

Monet nodded and replied: "Yes, I am discussing with the theater these days, and there must be no problem with the theater, but the entry procedures are a bit troublesome here!" ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanqi said: "You don't have to worry about this, because Mr. Situ Leiden has already promised to help, and Mr. Situ Meitang has also promised to help operate." ”

"Are Situ Leiden and Situ Meitang brothers?" Michael on the side asked curiously.

Chen Yuanqi smiled dumbly and said, "How is this possible, one of them is Chinese and the other is American!" ”

"That may also be brothers, such as one parent is Chinese and the other is American, and they grew up in different places since childhood!" Michael lifted the bar.

"Although this situation does exist in theory, the probability is extremely low, especially for the two Situ Gentlemen!" Chen Yuanqi explained, and then changed the topic and asked Monet: "Tony, although the formalities have been solved, as an angel, you have to be mentally prepared, to be honest, I am not optimistic about Mr. Mei's box office!" ”

Chen Yuanqi refers to the investor of the new drama on Broadway, which is actually a very high-risk business, a bit like investing in making movies now, no one can say whether the show will be popular before the official performance, so if you want a good number of performances and performance frequency, you have to negotiate with the theater (that is, the theater) to share the proportion, and if the performance effect is not good and the audience who buys tickets is small, the theater will reduce the number of performances or even take it off the shelves directly, but you still need to pay the actor's fee as usual, Especially big-name actors, 2.08 million a day has to be given regardless of whether you make or lose......

However, Monet was still very confident in Mr. Mei's performance, after all, it was very successful in history, so he replied unconcernedly: "When the time comes, you will know how popular Chinese Peking Opera will be!" ”

Just when the three of them were chatting, suddenly the phone on the table rang, Chen Yuanqi originally thought it was a patient calling, but as soon as he connected, he handed the phone to Monet: "Looking for you!" Sheriff Klein! ”

"It's really coming back from Shandong, and I'm starting to use inverted sentences!" Monet teased and picked it up casually.

As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Sheriff Klein's anxious voice: "Tony, hurry up and come to the Javier Hotel, there is a witness portrait who is particularly anxious!" ”

Hearing Sheriff Klein say this, Monet knew that it must be urgent, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll drive over!" ”

Then he explained to Chen Yuanqi, but he didn't expect Michael to take the initiative to apply after hearing it: "Teacher Monet, let me go with you, and learn more about this kind of painting experience!" ”

In fact, if it wasn't for Sheriff Klein's special call, Monet would have let Michael go directly, after all, he was not interested in this kind of work now, so he agreed.

After arriving at the hotel, Sheriff Klein briefly described the case to Monet, the general situation is that a nun is now a suspect in a murder case, and according to her, she has been in the hotel at the time of the crime, and a female guest of 302 next door can testify for her, but the problem is that according to the registration records of the hotel, 302 was not occupied at all last night, so the nun's testimony is not established, but Sheriff Klein is very familiar with the nun, he does not believe that the nun will kill, However, there is not enough evidence at the moment, so he hopes to find the female resident through Monet's portrait and help the nun clear her suspicion.

Hearing this request, Monet frowned and said, "There must be no problem with my portrait, but can you really find this female resident?" "The reason why Monet said this was because he felt that Sheriff Klein was a bit emotional this time.

Sheriff Klein sighed, "I know it's hard to find, but I'll have to give it a try anyway!" ”

Seeing that Sheriff Klein was so insistent, Monet had to nod and agree: "Okay, then I'll go to the portrait!" ”

It only took half an hour for Monet to paint a portrait of the nun to the satisfaction of the nun, according to the portrait, this female resident should be a bewitching blonde woman in her thirties, but last night's guests in the store said that they did not see this woman, especially last night's clerk swore that there was absolutely no such guest, because there were only three guests last night, and he would never be mistaken.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Michael suddenly came over and whispered to Monet: "Mr. Monet, I think there is something wrong with this clerk, because I smelled a strong woman's perfume on him just now, normally he was on duty last night, how could he have time to have such intimate contact with women?" Do you think it could be that he asked a woman to come to the hotel last night? After all, it was inconvenient for him to go out. ”

Hearing Michael say this, Monet immediately reacted: "Are you saying that in fact, this blonde woman is the clerk's lover, and they secretly had a tryst in 302 last night, so they didn't register her in the passenger register, and in order not to let the boss know, he definitely didn't dare to say it!" ”

Michael nodded and agreed: "That's right, I think the witness that the nun needs is her, just ask the clerk!" ”

PS: Opening the backstage today scared me into a cold sweat, because I suddenly found that the 164 chapters on the 30th were only more than 1,500 words, but I clearly remember that I must have more than 2,000 words when I sent it, because if the daily update is less than 4,000 words, then I won't be able to get full attendance, and it's already July now, and I can't make up for the leave slip in June, but fortunately, under the guidance of friends in the author group, I went to check the code word calendar, which made me breathe a sigh of relief......
