When all the gamblers went out, Jackal's expression turned cold and he said to Xu Tiannan and Murong Shui: "I'm sorry, you two can't leave."
Xu Tiannan smiled and said: "You are so narrow-minded. Didn't you just expose the crook in your casino?"
Jackal waved his hand, and several thugs immediately surrounded Xu Tiannan and Murong Shui. These thugs were definitely different from the group of security personnel just now. They all looked fierce and held sharpened machetes in their hands.
Xu Tiannan said: "Are you threatening me?"
The jackal suddenly laughed and said, "It depends on what you think."
"tell me the story."
Jackal said: "Teacher Xu, I know that you have a very good relationship with the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and I also know that you often help them solve some cases, so under this premise, I think... we might be able to become friends."
Xu Tiannan said: "What if I refuse?"
The jackal suddenly looked fiercely and said: "Then I have to ask you two to stay here."
Xu Tiannan said: "Although you know that I didn't bring anyone here today, the cameras along the way captured me entering here. Aren't you afraid that my gang of criminal police friends will come here?"
Jackal suddenly laughed and said: "Mr. Xu, you really underestimate our bank. Do you really think that after the previous few raids, our bank's underground casino has been wiped out? To tell you the truth, this place will not be there tomorrow."
If it wasn’t to trick you here, why would I have to disclose the situation here to your police informant?”
Murong Shui asked in surprise: "Informant? Did you deliberately disclose the information about the casino here to the police informant?"
The jackal didn't respond, but said in a deep voice: "Bring him here."
After the words fell, two thugs, one on the left and one on the right, dragged a skinny man from the ground. There were still red blood stains dripping from the ground as they passed by. The skinny monkey was beaten until almost nothing was left.
He was half alive, and blood was coming out of his mouth when he spoke.
"Brother Jackal...I was wrong..."
Only then did Xu Tiannan realize that the "informant" Wen Sibao talked about had already been discovered by the bank, and the other party had taken advantage of it and deliberately released a clue to the casino here to the informant in order to lure him here.
Thinking of this, Xu Tiannan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was not surprising that this kind of thing happened to Wen Sibao.
The jackal kicked the traitor away and said to Xu Tiannan: "Teacher Xu, how are you? Are you ready to make me a friend this time?"
Xu Tiannan asked with a smile: "In your words, you are a project manager, which can be regarded as a boss-level figure in the company. I am just an ordinary teacher. Why do you have to be friends with me?"
Jackal pointed at the people around him and said, "Thugs, women, money, our bank has as much money as we want, but we only make friends who we think are worthy, like you."
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
Jackal said: "You are different. To tell you the truth, our company has noticed you since two years ago when you worked for the police. Let's not talk about the degree of trust the police have in you for the time being. Xu
Teacher, your thinking, your way of doing things, and your extraordinary foresight of the situation are all things that no one else has, so our company needs talents like you, okay? Have I made it clear enough?"
Xu Tiannan did not answer, and after a long time he slowly said: "What if... what if I don't want to help you?"
Jackal said: "Over the years, the police have been keeping an eye on our bank's casino. If you insist on helping the police deal with us, then you and your female thugs will die here."
Xu Tiannan burst out laughing, and the other party said in a deep voice: "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Tiannan waved his hand, turned to Murong Shui and said: "He called you a female thug, haha..."
Murong Shui was not as relaxed as his opponent. He was already highly nervous and had been worrying about his boss's safety since just now. However, it was obvious that these thugs were not characters that he could deal with alone.
"Please don't delay any longer!"
The jackal's patience dwindled little by little, and he asked with a cold face: "I'll give you one last chance. Whether you want to keep your life here or work for us from now on, you choose!"
After a while, Xu Tiannan said: "Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Jackal said: "How long do you want to think about it?"
Xu Tiannan slowly raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers.
Jackal adjusted his sunglasses and said, "I can't give you five days. If you can't make a decision, don't even think about going out today."
Xu Tiannan smiled and shook his head, "It won't take five days."
The jackal asked doubtfully: "Is it five hours?"
Xu Tiannan shook his head again.
"five minutes?"
Faced with Jackal's doubts, Xu Tiannan suddenly started counting down for some reason.
"Four."
"three."
"two."
"one!"
Just when I counted to one, I heard a sudden roar from the door behind me.
"No one is allowed to move! Hold your head and squat down!"
Jackal was suddenly startled. When he turned around, he found that a large number of police officers had barged in at the door. His first reaction was to run away, but before he could move, he was pinned to the ground by two police officers.
The jackal who was pinned to the ground couldn't believe when these policemen discovered this secret passage, and he asked loudly and unwillingly: "Xu Tiannan! You! You actually led the police here!"
Murong Shui looked at a room full of police officers and asked hurriedly: "Boss... From the moment we entered the casino, weren't we always under surveillance? You, you... when did you notify Baobao Wen?"
Seeing that the situation was under control, Wen Sibao walked to Xu Tiannan and said, "Tiannan, it's a good thing you're leading the way, otherwise it would be really difficult to find this secret passage."
As soon as these words came out, Murong Shui and Jackal were also confused. Xu Tiannan took out an old mobile phone from his pants pocket. Jackal was immediately surprised and said: "Police tracker!"
Xu Tiannan slapped Jackal's bald head, "You've seen too many movies, haven't you? There are so many high-tech gadgets!"
Jackal said unwillingly: "Then you! Then how on earth did you notify the police!"
Xu Tiannan raised the screen of his mobile phone and pointed it at Cai Lang. The other party found that it was a text message that had just been sent: Go through the stele square to the main hall and walk seven rooms to the east. Enter the classroom and look north to see an altar. Push the altar
It's a secret passage.
Seeing the other party's disbelieving expression, Xu Tiannan said: "Do you really think I was shaking hands with you just now?"
Hearing this, Jackal recalled in his mind the scene when the other party met him for the first time, and suddenly realized: "You...you shook hands with me! Just to divert my attention! You were another
My hand is actually texting in my pocket!"
Xu Tiannan nodded, "You finally understand, but those simple-minded thugs of yours insisted on standing between us, and they didn't even notice that I was texting with my other hand in my pocket."
Murong Shui looked at Xu Tiannan in surprise, his mouth almost opened into an "o" shape, "Boss, boss! You can actually...can blindly type text messages with one hand?"
Xu Tiannan picked up his phone and looked at it. Obviously he was not so satisfied with the text message. He said to himself: "Enter the classroom and look north? Well, I actually made a typo."
Murong Shui murmured: "You are in Versailles..." (Note)
…
Casino interior, financial room.
The jackal had his hands cuffed behind his back, with a look of resistance on his face and said nothing.
Wen Sibao slammed the table suddenly and yelled: "Be honest! Sooner or later I will catch your boss Qian! Now tell me, where is he? Who wants to kill him? What have you messed with?"
What's up!"
The jackal asked doubtfully: "What's the money?"
Wen Sibao: "Boss Qian! Where are the others!"
"What? What boss?"
"Hey! You still dare to be so stubborn!"
Wen Sibao felt that he was being fooled, so he rolled up his sleeves and pretended to show off to the opponent. Unexpectedly, the jackal stretched out his bare head in a cooperative manner and said provocatively: "Come on! Hit Grandpa here! Hit him lightly!"
I look down on you!"
Looking at the other party's ruthless face, Wen Sibao knew that the other party was also deliberately tempting him to make mistakes, so he calmed down.
"Ahaha..." Jackal smiled as if in victory: "Okay, okay, Officer Wen, I won't tease you anymore, let me tell you the truth."
Wen Sibao was excited and motioned to the stenographer next to him to record, "You tell me!"
Jackal sighed and explained: "Since I fully sponsored the construction of Duyuan Temple last year, I replaced all the monks in the temple with my subordinates, and then took advantage of the convenience and hollowed out the school grounds in the backyard.
, opened an underground casino, but look! It hasn’t even been open for a year, and your police took the blame! I regret it..."
"Who told you to say this!" Wen Sibao interrupted: "I asked you to talk about the relationship between this casino and your boss, Boss Qian! Also, tell me where he is now!"
Jackal blinked, "Boss Qian? Who is he?"
Another police officer on the side couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sternly: "Don't pretend to be stupid! Don't treat our police as fools! Can you do such a big casino business by yourself? Let me tell you
, we have already found out that Boss Qian is the mastermind behind your casinos!"
The jackal tilted his head, seeming to enjoy the other party's angry look, and seemed to be deliberately provoking the other party to hit him, and said with a smile: "You think so? Then you policemen, don't ask me, just write the confession however you like.
Let’s write it down!”
Wen Sibao said coldly: "Jackal! Don't be proud. You are the one who beat the skinny monkey into that, right?"
The thin-skinned monkey was the informant who was beaten to death just now. Jackal's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name, but he quickly returned to normal. He was sure that he had never disclosed any information related to Boss Qian in front of the thin-skinned monkey.
.
Thinking of this, he calmed down and said slowly: "That kid? That kid had some trouble with our casino thugs, so he started fighting. What? You have to take care of this kind of thing? That's another day.
If two of my employees quarrel, I will notify you then, haha!"
Wen Sibao was already furious at this time, but he knew in his heart that the most difficult thing to deal with in the interrogation was this kind of meat, especially a man like Jackal who was prepared to bear all the crimes on his own, as long as the other party didn't bite out the meat.
Boss Qian, there really is nothing he can do.
This is just like the underground casino cleanup operation led by Director Jin some time ago. Director Jin found out through some channels that most of the casinos hidden in Mobei City were hidden by the bank. Therefore, the police used thunder to clear out almost all the casinos in one day.
Cleaned up. But without exception, every person in charge of the casino took the blame himself, and no one dared to accuse Boss Qian of being the mastermind behind the scenes.
Because these people know very well that if they take the charge of opening a casino for Boss Qian, they will be jailed for 5 to 10 years at most. However, if they offend Boss Qian, the fate of themselves and their families will definitely be a hundred times more serious than if they offend the police.
"Mr. Jackal." Xu Tiannan, who had been standing at the door listening to Wen Sibao's interrogation, finally spoke.
The jackal raised his head, still looking that mean, and said in a long tone: "Say."
Xu Tiannan came over, took out a cigarette from Wen Sibao's pocket and lit it for him, and asked, "Didn't you just say that you still want to be friends with me?"
The jackal didn't understand what the other party meant, so he took a long puff of cigarette and sneered: "Humph! I can't reach it!"
"Don't be like this!" Xu Tiannan suddenly put his arm around the other person's shoulders very affectionately and said, "I have no problem if I want to make friends, but there shouldn't be so many secrets between friends, right?"
Seeing that Jackal still didn't understand what he was talking about, Xu Tiannan pointed to the thick pile of account books on the table and whispered: "You are so shameless. You didn't even tell me about making false accounts behind Boss Qian's back."
, and you said you want to make friends?”
Hearing the words "making false accounts", Jackal was suddenly startled and immediately said: "I'm warning you! Don't talk nonsense! I admit that these account books placed on the table were all made by me, but you can't talk nonsense.
Ah! If the boss hears this, both of us will be doomed!"
Jackal suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately shut his mouth tightly. No matter how many questions the other party asked, he always had only one sentence - "I want to see a lawyer."
Xu Tiannan reluctantly nodded at the other party's bald head and said sarcastically: "You've watched too many Hong Kong movies, haven't you?"
After saying that, Xu Tiannan ignored the other party, then took out the flashlight from Wen Sibao's waist and said: "Turn off all the lights."
"Ah? Why turn off the lights?" Wen Sibao was puzzled.
Xu Tiannan didn't want to explain, "Go quickly, do as you are told, be good."
After turning off the lights, the financial room inside the darkroom of the casino was dark. Xu Tiannan turned on the flashlight, walked to a huge wooden filing cabinet, and shone a light on the surface of the cabinet.
Suddenly, the jackal suddenly jumped up and bumped into Xu Tiannan, shouting: "Don't move! Don't fucking move!"
Murong Shui was well prepared at this moment. Before the jackal could even take two steps, he immediately stepped forward and kicked the opponent down with a sweeping kick. Seeing this, Wen Sibao immediately pushed the opponent to the ground.
"I say! I say! I say anything!" The jackal seemed to be going crazy at this time. Although his hands were cuffed behind his back, he was still lying on the ground squirming like a bug, yelling to stop Xu Tiannan, "You
Don’t touch that cabinet! Stop it!”
"Turn on the light." Xu Tiannan turned off the flashlight and said to the other police officers: "Move this cabinet out."
The jackal continued to shout loudly: "Stop! Stop it!"
Wen Sibao took off his clothes and pressed firmly on the jackal's mouth. After the huge file cabinet was moved away, Xu Tiannan lay on the dark wood-colored floor glue and searched for a long time, and then used a metal straight
The crutch hit the ground hard.
Once, twice, three times.
Soon, a gap was made in the floor glue on the ground. Xu Tiannan pulled hard along the gap a few times, pulling out a 30-centimeter shallow hole, and took out a hard-cover account book from inside.
Xu Tiannan smiled and said: "Mr. Jackal, I guessed it right. You are really a person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot."
