"For money's sake I won't be angry."
"I seem to understand. The great mission you mentioned is to make money, right?"
"Chief, you are right. Detective Satsuma joined the Alasgumen Town Police Department to become a glorious ghost police officer just for money. Otherwise, he would have ceased to be a police officer."
Wang Dengming and Helene's teasing did not make Satsuma angry.
"If all the bonuses this time belong to me, I don't mind saying that. It's too little. Let Miss Celebrity add a little more."
"Cockroach legs are also meat, so don't be too little. Think about the painful years when you were chased by banks all over the world for overdue credit cards."
"Boss, you are so disgusting. There are cockroaches and rats everywhere here. God..."
"Do you confuse God with rats and cockroaches?"
"Don't get me wrong, let's get down to business. Where did we talk about hourglasses?"
"No, it's a grammatical question about the hourglass."
"There's no problem with grammar. The education level of female stars is generally the same. They like to accompany their agents to do other things. That's their strength. Let's talk about the hourglass. I saw that oversized hourglass. The problem is here. , when did the hourglass start working, I mean, someone put the hourglass up, put the white sand side up, and then made it work."
Helene said: "That can't be called work, that is called flowing art. It is a kind of art. The hourglass symbolizes love, friendship and happiness."
Satsuma asked Wang Dengming: "Is that so, my boss?"
"Don't call me boss from now on, just call me cashier."
"We're checking them, don't mention the useless ones."
In fact, when Wang Dengming saw the hourglass, the first thing he thought about was work. It wasn't until he saw the note that he thought about who made the hourglass work again.
"Then tell me what's useful, Detective."
"You don't object to the hourglass being used as a timer, right? I'm talking about a long time ago, like the 16th and 17th centuries. At that time, the time for soldiers to patrol and change the guard was measured by the hourglass."
"I've heard of such a timekeeping method. This kind of thing has long existed in our ancient times. It was invented by our ancients."
Satsuma: "For the sake of money, I won't argue with you. How could the hourglass be invented by an Easterner? It was obviously invented by a Westerner. The most famous hourglass is the "five-wheel hourglass" created by Zhan Xiyuan in 1360. Quicksand flows from the funnel-shaped sand pool to the sand bucket next to the primary wheel, driving the primary wheel, thereby driving the rotation of mechanical gears at all levels. The last gear drives the middle wheel that rotates on the horizontal plane. There is an axis on the middle wheel. A pointer rotates on a engraved instrument disc to show the time. The origin of the watch is based on the five-wheel hourglass."
"Detective, this is nonsense. You must have made it up yourself."
Helene: "Sergeant, the detective is right, he didn't lie this time."
"Okay then, let's continue. The female star uses an hourglass to tell the time. What is her intention?"
"We first need to find out whether the hourglass belongs to the female celebrity."
"Judging from the appearance, the material and newness of the glass are all modern craftsmanship. That's all I can say."
"This does not mean that the hourglass belongs to the female star. I think the furniture and furnishings in this villa were accumulated by several owners."
Helene: "So, we need specific files from the local police about this villa."
Wang Dengming: "Maybe things are not as troublesome as we thought. Maybe our employer likes to keep time in that way. It's fresh, fun, and a bit romantic..."
When he said this, Helene and Inspector Summer remained silent.
"Boss, isn't it appropriate to say romance at this time?"
"Then let's talk about the two policemen at the gate. You said they disappeared. What happened?"
"No one answered the intercom."
Wang Dengming shouted into the intercom: "Hello, Sergeant Xuejiang Curie, are you still at the door of the villa?"
A clear voice came from the intercom: "Sergeant Wang, are we in trouble and need reinforcements?"
"No need at the moment, thank you. Thank you for your hard work, buddy. I remind you not to fall asleep in the police car. If you are sleepy, I can provide you with some liquor."
"Thank you, no need. We don't drink during working hours."
At the end of the conversation, Wang Dengming smiled and said: "The vigilance is still quite high. He is afraid that we will catch his pigtails. Detective, they are at the door and standing guard in the villa for us. Please explain."
The detective picked up the walkie-talkie and barked.
No one answered.
"Is there something wrong with my walkie-talkie?"
The detective asked stupidly, holding his walkie-talkie.
"right."
"But we were able to talk on the phone just now!"
Wang Dengming: "Heleni, go to the lawn and try to see if you can get through."
Helene left the living room and came to the lawn.
Wang Dengming tested it himself and found that the walkie-talkie given to the detective by Xuejiang Curie was working normally.
As for the walkie-talkie in the hands of the detective, Satsuma shamelessly got it from Xuejiang Curie. He felt that having an extra walkie-talkie would make him safer.
In fact, there is no shortage of walkie-talkies in the Alasgumeng Town Police Station, but Chief Wang Dengming doesn’t like to use walkie-talkies.
"There is something wrong with these two police officers. They answer the phone selectively."
Helene smiled maliciously and said: "Of course, the chief is the investigator in charge of this case. You are a follower and a nominal assistant. The chief and the chief have the same level. You are a police officer. The level is not high enough. If Sensi was an assistant, someone would answer the call."
Wang Dengming frowned.
"It's interesting, it's indeed interesting. I agree with the inspector. The performance of those two guys... How should I put it, exaggerated, pretentious, and unrealistic. Even if there are ghosts in the villa, they won't be so scared. ,right?"
Detective: "It's a bit illogical. Under normal circumstances, he should accompany us into the villa and provide us with the clues they got. We are helping them."
Helene: "Is it possible that Sheriff Xuejiang Curie doesn't want us to investigate the scandal in the villa? If we detect the crime in the villa, will he still have the nerve to stay around?"
Wang Dengming: "You're right, it's possible, but he can completely refuse our investigation. He can go to Director Xin Mohai to complain. Why doesn't he do this? Detective, you used to work in the county police station and the city police station." Have you seen this person in such a long time?"
"I've heard the name, but I've never seen it in person. There are so many sergeants in the police station, and I can't possibly know everyone."
Helene smiled and said: "Chief, you don't want to call Chief Xin Mohai to confirm the identity of Chief Xuejiang Curie."
Wang Dengming touched his chin and smiled.
"No, I just think their behavior is a bit strange."
"It's not surprising. Maybe Sheriff Xuejiang Curie really saw something in the villa that he will never forget, so it is understandable that he was too frightened to even step into the villa."
After Heleni finished speaking, the three of them all looked around in unison.
"Detective, don't be nervous. It's just a woman wearing a nun's uniform. She's not a red-eyed person or a blue fire bug. If she shows up again, you'll be arrested immediately!"
