Chapter 12 The Suspect Arrested
"This is a case from ten years ago. I heard it in the police academy. There was a huge, hidden and deep criminal organization that was uprooted by a detective. The leader of the organization code-named Captain was also captured alive by that detective. The detective is you?" Xiaoman grabbed the newspaper excitedly, and looked at Luo Fei in disbelief.

Xiaoman picked up the newspaper again and carefully compared the photos with Luo Fei himself.

"It's really you! What kind of person is that Captain? It is said that even his subordinates have never seen his true face."

"One nose and two eyes are the same as yours." Luo Fei said casually, shaking his wet hair.

"Then how did you catch him?" Xiaoman asked.

Luo Fei came over and took the newspaper from Xiaoman's hand: "Do you want to capture Captain or Ma Boyuan?"

"Of course it's Ma Boyuan...do you know where Ma Boyuan is hiding?" Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Luo Fei nodded triumphantly.

"Then take me there." Xiaoman's eyes were still fixed on the newspaper that Luo Fei had put back.

"Okay, but you can't enter that place with this clothes on." Luo Fei secretly looked at Xiaoman's figure.

"Okay, I'll go to the opposite door to change!" Xiaoman agreed wholeheartedly.

"I'm afraid none of your clothes can get in." Luo Fei shook his head repeatedly.

"Then what should I wear?" Xiaoman didn't understand what Luo Fei said for a moment.

"It's downstairs!" Luo Fei said, pointing to the floor.

The two then came to the door of Wang Susu's room on the first floor.As soon as the door opened, the whole room smelled of fragrance.

"What do you two want to do?" Wang Susu looked puzzled.

"Please help me." Luo Fei said with a playful smile.

For the next hour, Luo Fei sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.From behind the opposite screen, Wang Susu's voice came from time to time: "Breathe in...breathe in... This dress was custom-made by John's tailor. My waist was only one foot six when Robert was alive. Call me a goblin, I hate it, and I’m shy when I say it." Wang Susu poked her head out and said to Luo Fei outside the screen, "Luo Fei, do you know that you look very much like my short-lived Robert, I was still dreaming last night see you..."

Luo Fei covered his face with the newspaper, and muttered softly: "You have already said the same thing five times at No.20."

"what?"

Luo Fei laughed and said, "It's nothing."

At this time, Wang Susu supported Xiaoman's shoulders and pushed her out from behind the screen.I saw Xiaoman wearing an electric blue velvet cheongsam with high slits, which made her sexy and beautiful.

"Is this okay?" Xiaoman seemed a little restrained.

Luo Fei put down the newspaper and was stunned for a while.

In Luo Fei's eyes, Xiaoman's figure overlapped with that of a woman in white.

A voice seemed to ring in my ears again: Do I really look good in this dress?

Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei in a strange way.

Wang Susu looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "Aren't you two really going on a date?"

Hearing Wang Susu's voice, Luo Fei came back to his senses: "I assure you as a detective, I borrow this suit to fight crime and bring justice."

Xiaoman picked up a pair of high heels: "Can you explain why the suspects are wearing high heels?"

"You'll find out in a while, let's go." Luo Fei put down the newspaper and got up to go out. Xiao Man followed him barefoot with very awkward footsteps.

"Hey, wait..."

At the door of Sullivan's apartment, Luo Fei waved, a rickshaw stopped, and Luo Fei got on.

"Paramount."

Xiaoman chased after him while putting on his shoes: "Wait for me! Luo Fei stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoman into the car."

The rickshaw pulled Luo Fei and Xiao Man to run on the street.

Luo Fei closed his eyes again in the car, and Xiaoman looked at him and hesitated to speak.

"When people are at the end of the road, they will always instinctively run to places they are familiar with. Ma Boyuan knows that his home will be arrested, and hotels and restaurants will also be investigated. Is there any other place that he is familiar with, feels safe, and is open 24 hours a day? where?"

Xiaoman seemed to understand: "Dance hall? But there are more than a dozen dance halls in the International Settlement, how do you know it's Paramount?"

"Did you forget the Paramount dance ticket you saw at Ma Boyuan's house yesterday? I just read in the newspaper that the red dancer Bai Shasha will dance at Paramount tonight." Luo Fei's face was full Lost self-confidence, "How could a dude like him miss it?"

"And you said just now that his car hit a utility pole on Pierre Road last night, isn't that the direction leading to Paramount? Officer Qin, are you satisfied with my explanation?" Luo Fei looked at him with a half-smile With Xiaoman.

"I didn't ask you." Xiaoman gave Luo Fei a blank look.

Luo Fei shrugged and smiled slightly.

A rickshaw pulled Luo Fei and Xiaoman to the entrance of the ballroom. Luo Fei paid the fare and helped Xiaoman out of the car.Xiaoman walked two steps in high heels and almost sprained her ankle.

Luo Fei stretched out his arm very gentlemanly, Xiaoman hesitated, took Luo Fei's arm, and the two walked into the ballroom.

On the central dance floor of the ballroom, couples of men and women in suits and cheongsams are dancing to the music played by the band. The dance floor is surrounded by a circle of rest area, the lights are dimly lit, and there are crowds of people drinking tea and wine, or Men and women cuddled together and whispered to each other.

"With so many people, it's hard to find him even if he's mixed in."

"Divide areas, classify, exclude, filter." Luo Fei scanned the hall and began to mutter to himself.

Xiaoman also imitated Luo Fei and squinted his eyes to look around, but his movements were a bit exaggerated.

"If you don't want to attract too much attention..." Luo Fei pulled Xiaoman into the dance floor, and stretched out his hand to invite Xiaoman, "Just dance and look for it, don't waste Mrs. Wang's painstaking efforts."

And Xiaoman is really not good at this kind of occasion. Although she was dressed up glamorously, when dancing with Luo Fei, she still stepped on Luo Fei's feet clumsily.

"You can't dance?" Luo Fei looked very surprised.

"I went to the police academy, not the dance school." Xiaoman looked down at the dazzling steps, and his tone became very labored.

Luo Fei suddenly put his arms around Xiaoman and stood still: "As a police detective, you need to learn much more in society than in class. Come on, just follow my steps and remember the uniform rules of modern dancing That is, I advance and you retreat, and you advance and I retreat."

Under Luo Fei's careful teaching, Xiaoman quickly adapted to Luo Fei's dance steps.

"You are very talented." Luo Fei looked at the dancing Xiaoman, and suddenly couldn't help admiring.

"Who did you learn your dancing skills from?" Xiaoman asked curiously.

Luo Fei glanced around and said, "The landlord Wang Susu, she used to be a popular dancer in Shanghai, and later married a wealthy businessman. After the businessman died, he left her an apartment, and she became the landlord. Unexpectedly There was a murder in the apartment, the business plummeted, and I helped him solve the case, and she let me live in it with cheap rent."

"Murder? Could it be the room I lived in? The deceased was hit by bullets from the window, right?" Xiaoman became curious about the human-shaped mark in her room again.

Luo Fei smiled and shook his head: "Oh no, no one died in your room, and the marks on the floor are my experiments."

"What experiment?" Xiaoman asked curiously.

"I'll explain later, we are here today to find someone, not to chat."

At this time, the music on the dance floor suddenly became faster, and everyone on the dance floor twisted crazily to the rhythm.

"What kind of dance is this?" Xiaoman was not quite used to it for a while.

"I don't know either, play freely and act separately."

The two writhed, Luo Fei pushed hard, and Xiaoman separated and turned in another direction.The two twisted half a circle each on the dance floor and bumped into each other again.

"Did you find it?"

"No, he's not on the dance floor."

"Nonsense." Luo Fei approached Xiaoman and curled his lips, "He doesn't want to dance, I asked you to find the people below."

"It's too dark down here, so I can't see clearly." Xiaoman explained.

"Ma Boyuan is an alcoholic, what you have to pay attention to is not the person, but..."

Before Luo Fei finished speaking, he saw a waiter passing in front of the two holding a bottle of wine.

The eyes of the two followed the wine bottle in the waiter's hand and moved to a corner.The pair watched the waiter place the bottle on the table of a man sleeping in a hood.

"Is it him?" Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei.

"Come closer and take a look." Luo Fei made a gesture, Xiaoman understood, and the two approached from both sides.

At this time, the man suddenly raised his head and was facing Xiaoman.Xiaoman immediately saw that the man was Ma Boyuan.Ma Boyuan picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine, Xiaoman was so excited that he quickened his pace, but accidentally bumped into a waiter beside him.

"sorry."

Just as Xiaoman was apologizing, Ma Boyuan also noticed Xiaoman, and immediately got up and wanted to leave.At this time, Luo Fei ran over from the other side in time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Bo suddenly pushed down the table and ran towards the center of the dance floor.Seeing that she has been exposed, Xiaoman chases after her with all her might.

The already drunk Ma Boyuan staggered, Xiaoman couldn't run fast even in high heels, and the two rushed into the dancing crowd one after the other.

Afterwards, the two chased each other in the crowd like this.

"Be careful, he has a gun." Luo Fei rushed behind Xiaoman and ordered, even he himself didn't realize that there was concern in his tone at this time.

Xiaoman found the right time and was about to pounce on Ma Boyuan, but at this moment, Ma Boyuan suddenly pulled out a pistol and aimed at the two of them, Xiaoman had no choice but to stop.

Ma Boyuan, who was a little unconscious, became reckless under the influence of alcohol, and even raised his hand and shot at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling!The crystal beads on the chandelier fell in response to the gunfire, and the dance floor was in chaos.Luo Fei was knocked down by other dancers, and Xiao Man was also knocked to one side, unable to see where Ma Boyuan was.And Ma Boyuan just took the opportunity to escape to the door.Xiaoman separated from the crowd, and just took two steps after her, when her high-heeled shoes twisted and she almost fell down.

In desperation, Xiaoman took off her high heels and threw them towards Ma Boyuan.

Ma Boyuan fell to the ground after being hit on the back of the head by a high-heeled shoe.

Barefoot, Xiaoman rushed forward to hold him down, took out handcuffs from his thighs and tied Ma Boyuan tightly, and shouted: "Ma Boyuan, you are under arrest!"
