As Zhang Pin said this, he already swiped his card again and pressed the elevator button.
bite--
The elevator they were taking was reserved for the CEO, so it was stuck there and no one could press it.
There is actually another reason why Zhang Pin does not stay here anymore, that is, he is worried that if these gunmen react and have someone press the elevator from the first floor, or have someone remotely control it from the control room, then they will
Become a turtle in a urn.
Under their control, the elevator did not stop at the seventeenth floor, but went straight down to the fifteenth floor.
"Be careful."
After the elevator stopped, Zhang Pin did not go out immediately, nor was he on guard. Instead, he pressed the door switch of the elevator to prevent the elevator from opening.
Then he signaled Chen Jiaju and Carter to be careful.
Upon hearing Zhang Pin's arrangement, the two of them reacted quickly and immediately hid behind the two security guards.
Security Guard A: "Hey, hey, hey, there are brothers outside, don't shoot indiscriminately. These guys are from the Secret Service. You surrender, there will be no death penalty."
Seeing the actions of Chen Jiaju and Carter, the two security guards who were held hostage suddenly panicked.
Security guard B: "Don't you know, your body can't stop bullets. If they really shoot, you won't be able to avoid them either."
Before Zhang Pin and others could make any move, the two security guards spoke hurriedly.
One of them shouted loudly to remind people outside to avoid accidental injuries, while the other reminded Zhang Pin and others that they could not stop bullets by using themselves as human shields.
bite--
Just as the two of them were shouting, Zhang Pin suddenly released his finger that was holding the door-closing button, and the elevator door suddenly opened.
"call--"
The moment they opened the door, the two security guards subconsciously tensed up.
But the final result made them breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the hotel security personnel did not react that quickly, or that they did not have the courage to kill the Secret Service agent.
There are still some security guards in the corridor, but they are not blocking the elevator entrance, and they don't even carry weapons.
"Which one of you is in charge of the Secret Service?"
Zhang Pin walked out of the elevator, then borrowed Carter's identity and directly asked several security guards with panic on their faces.
"Mr. Long Wu is the person in charge, but they have just taken the elevator down to the parking lot."
After hearing Zhang Pin's question, a security guard who looked quite young stood up.
There are thousands of employees at Caesars Casino. Naturally, it is impossible for all of them to be criminals.
There are also many ordinary people among the security guards.
With Caesar's death and Long Wu running away, most of the employees who remain in the hotel can be considered ordinary people.
"Long Wu is the person in charge of the hotel, what about Stephen?"
When Zhang Pin heard that Long Wu had run away, his face suddenly showed a bit of surprise.
"Mr. Stephen is only a shareholder of the casino. He usually does not interfere in hotel management."
The security guard was very cooperative with Zhang Pin's questions, but the security guard made Sir Zhang even more confused.
"How is the relationship between Long Wu and Stephen?"
When Sir Zhang asked this question, he actually already guessed the answer.
"The relationship between Mr. Long Wu and the shareholders is not very good. No, I should say the shareholders except Mr. Gao Jin."
The security guard's words made Zhang Pin more certain of his guess.
"Do you know what happened up there?"
Zhang Pin thought for a while and simply asked directly.
"We heard from the guy upstairs that Mr. Long Wu killed Mr. Stephen. Aren't you here to arrest Mr. Long Wu?"
Sure enough, when the security guard heard Zhang Pin's question, he asked him a question in return.
"You go down to the lobby to maintain order first. The police should be here soon."
Naturally, Zhang Pin would not answer the security guard's questions.
Instead, he turned around and walked toward the elevator again.
"Give me the card."
This time, Sir Zhang didn't ask the two security guards to follow him into the elevator. He just asked them to take away the cards that controlled the elevator.
"I didn't expect that they actually started fighting among themselves."
Zhang Pin let the elevator go up again while chatting with Carter and Chen Jiaju.
"Aren't we going to chase Long Wu? He is a murderer."
Unlike Zhang Pin's worried mood, Chen Jiaju didn't care whether Stephen died or not. He only cared about whether he could catch the criminals.
Originally he was here to disrupt the counterfeit banknote case, but now almost all the people in the counterfeit banknote group have been caught by the Bureau of Investigation.
The original mastermind Stephen is dead. Logically speaking, if Long Wu is caught again, the case will be closed.
Zhang Pin: "Let's go up first and see what's going on."
Unlike Chen Jiaju who focuses on handling the case, Sir Zhang actually doesn't care whether the case is solved or not, because it basically has nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Stephen and others have been planning for so many years and accumulated so much savings. I don’t know if these things were in the casino or were taken away by Long Wu.
Now he went back to the top floor, of course, just to confirm this matter first.
bite--
The elevator door opens.
"Secret Service on duty!"
Zhang Pin still shouted when he opened the door, but just like the previous floor, except for a few bewildered security guards, no one in the corridor wanted to do anything to them.
"Hurry down and maintain order. The police will come later."
Zhang Pin continued the same rhetoric he had with the security guard before and asked the security guard to leave first.
Then he walked into Stephen's office, where he was lying on the chair, looking like he was still dead.
"Look around the room to see if there are any traps or anything like that."
Zhang Pin did not bother with Stephen who was still alive, but asked Chen Jiaju and Carter to search the room first.
He himself walked to the safe that Stephen placed in the room.
Click——
The next second, just as Sir Zhang put his hand on the handle of the safe, the safe opened automatically in an instant.
Zhang Pin opened the safe and took a look. He turned a blind eye to the cash and gold jewelry inside the safe. Instead, he took out some document bags and looked at them.
After confirming that there were only some business agreements and photos of sex activities, Zhang Pin threw these things away in disappointment.
Carter: "There are no dark rooms or important things. Wow, these things must be criminal evidence. Should we take them away?" Carter walked around the room and soon noticed that Zhang Pin opened the safe.
He was attracted from a distance by the colorful banknotes and gold inside the safe.
At this moment, he finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward, picked up a few bundles of U.S. dollars, and stuffed them directly into himself.
"Get as much as you can. Remember to hand over all the evidence to the police later. Let's go down and take a look."
Zhang Pin was not interested in the little things in the safe. Stephen's safe probably contained close to one million U.S. dollars and several kilograms of gold.
For ordinary people, this amount of money is certainly considered a huge amount of money, but in Sir Zhang's eyes, he doesn't look down upon this trivial amount of money.
Not to mention that Sir Zhang has seen it a long time ago. There are only a few cameras in this room, and they are still running normally at this moment.
Sir Zhang didn't find what he wanted, so he naturally had no intention of touching these things.
After all, a person died at the scene. The police will definitely intervene when the time comes, and maybe the Investigation Bureau will also intervene.
After all, Stephen is a rich man. If there is definite evidence of his crime, it will be easier to say.
But now that the other party is dead, no one will worry about criminal evidence or anything like that.
At that time, maybe the police or the investigation bureau will have to give the other side some dignity.
At that time, the case will definitely become more formalized, and the things they took away will naturally have to be returned.
Zhang Pin reminded Carter and walked out of the room again.
It happened that at this time, there was still a security guard from the casino who had not left, so Zhang Pin grabbed him and asked about the situation.
"The settlement room is underground."
Zhang Pin was a little surprised when he heard what the security guard said, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand it.
Naturally, he inquired about the settlement room for the profits accumulated in the casino.
As far as he knew, the counterfeit banknotes produced by Stephen and Tan Ruiqi basically used casinos to fake the money, and then exchanged the counterfeit banknotes for real US dollars.
According to Hu Li, Tan Ruiqi alone earned hundreds of millions of dollars.
As a shareholder of the casino, Stephen will definitely make more money.
They didn't know whether it was for safety or if there was something that Hu Li didn't know about. Anyway, none of the recent income has been taken away from the casino.
Sir Zhang has seen the world, so he also knows that it is very difficult to move hundreds of millions of dollars in banknotes.
And moving is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing is how to store so much money.
Of course it is impossible to deposit money in the bank.
At least Tan Ruiqi can't do it. He is a member of the Triad. If he dares to deposit hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, then he may deposit the money in the bank that morning and be arrested in the afternoon for eating beef noodles without green onion.
, and then the funds deposited in the bank will also be frozen.
There is a legend in America that even a criminal, as long as he pays taxes, his money is legal.
In fact this is a complete rumor.
As a country of capital, America often does things like buying, selling, or depriving people of money.
The reason why Stephen and Tan Ruiqi kept their money in the casino was obviously because they thought the casino was safe enough.
Now that he heard that the relationship between Long Wu and the shareholders of the casino was not good, Zhang Pin confirmed his suspicion.
Although he didn't know why Long Wu wanted to kill Stephen at this time, he actually had some guesses.
It must have been Stephen who suddenly took action and wanted Long Wu to lose his management position.
Because of a very simple reason, since Stephen had not intervened in the management of the casino before, then Long Wu is the boss of the casino.
However, Stephen is using the casino to launder money. No matter how covert Stephen is, Long Wu, the big butler of the casino, cannot get around it.
In particular, the relationship between Long Wu and shareholders such as Stephen is not very good, so it is obviously a huge identity risk.
Stephen even wanted to kill Tan Ruiqi, his collaborator, so of course he couldn't tolerate a time bomb like Long Wu in the casino.
Unfortunately, Stephen obviously underestimated Long Wu's ability, causing him to lose his life.
Sir Zhang didn’t care whether Stephen died or not. He just wanted to know whether Long Wu knew what Stephen was doing in the casino, and whether he took away the money that Stephen and Tan Ruiqi hid in the casino when he ran away.
.
Originally, Zhang Pin guessed that Stephen should have kept his and Tan Ruiqi's money in his office.
But he took a look just now and found that it was impossible to store more than hundreds of millions in cash in Stephen's office.
Since the money is not in the office, it can only be in the settlement department of the casino.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to store so much money elsewhere, and even if it could be stored, it would not be safe enough.
bite--
The elevator stopped at the negative floor again.
Bang bang bang bang——
This time, just as the elevator was stabilizing, there was a burst of bullets at the elevator entrance on the first floor.
Boom——
And the next second, the elevator that was still operating normally was turned off and the originally lit display screen went out instantly.
As the settlement room of the casino, this is naturally different from other floors, and it still has sufficient precautions.
Long Wu: "Why haven't you come down yet? I'll give you five more minutes to prepare. If you still can't, then I won't wait for you."
Unlike what the security guard above said, Long Wu has not actually left the casino yet.
After he found out that someone was killing people on the floor where Stephen's office was located, his first reaction was to run away.
But Long Wu's running route is obviously different from ordinary people's running route.
Of course he didn't want to leave with nothing like a lost dog.
If this was the case, he couldn't possibly have other thoughts. After all, the big butler in the casino also had a lot of income, and his social status in Las Vegas was not low.
For ordinary people, this position is already considered to be the level of a working emperor, not to mention that he is also a small shareholder of the casino.
It was precisely because Long Wu was not satisfied with his current status that he secretly tampered with people in the casino in order to earn more wealth.
Even if he wanted to run away now, he would naturally have to leave with enough wealth.
Just as Zhang Pin guessed, Long Wu had actually known about Stephen's secret activities in the casino for a long time.
But unlike Zhang Pin, Long Wu didn't know that the US dollars Stephen brought were actually fake.
He originally had this speculation, and even secretly took some US dollars brought by Stephen and tested them himself.
But the final test results proved that the money Stephen took was real.
Because of this, Long Wu didn't think about counterfeit money. He just thought that Stephen's money might be black money, so he took it to the casino to launder it.
In fact, it was precisely because of seeing Stephen's little actions that Long Wu finally made up his mind to make money in partnership with Pitezhu.
So after killing Stephen, he did not forget the huge wealth that Stephen had stored in the casino.
However, Long Wu was not that greedy. He just took his men to move a cart full of cash, which was probably close to 50 million US dollars, and was ready to leave directly.
But Long Wu is not greedy, but it does not mean that others are not greedy.
