"Captain Wang, hello, hello! I've seen you for a long time!"
"You're welcome, you are the Brother Cheng that Brother Meng mentioned, right?
I didn’t expect to be able to find clues to the target so quickly, as expected of the person introduced by Brother Meng!”
"Hey, Captain Wang, please don't call me Brother Cheng. Don't dare to take it seriously! Just call me A Biao!"
Brother Biao is so sweaty.
I was so nervous that I was almost trembling!
I am a person who has been released from prison, and you are the captain of the criminal police team and a cadre at the department level. Is it appropriate to call me brother?
But... why do you still feel a little happy?
"Captain Wang, come and eat some steamed buns stuffed with meat!"
Axinghan smiled and handed over his breakfast.
Express kindness in your own unique "way".
Wang Zhaoping didn't mind it either and happily took the bun.
"Thank you! By the way, this brother has a strong physique!"
"Haha! After practicing Nanquan for several years, Captain Wang laughed at me." Brother Biao was afraid that Ah Xing would say the wrong thing, so he quickly said for him.
"Okay! Then let's get in the car and talk while walking!"
"good!"
After the car started, a black business car followed immediately behind.
More than half an hour later...
Sunan, a certain intersection of Guantou Road.
At this T-junction far away from the bustling area of the city.
There are mostly fenced construction sites around, with few vehicles and pedestrians passing by.
Standing not far away is a 12-story commercial building, which has just been topped out and is now in the shutdown stage.
Wang Zhaoping stared at the business building through the car window.
"The target is inside?"
"Yes! Yesterday I received news from Brother Meng, and I mobilized my brother...cough! My former friends all night to look for news about this gambler nicknamed Sanggou.
I found out that he was indeed a frequent visitor to underground casinos.
There is an underground casino in this business building. It is said that the lost dog often comes here to gamble.
As long as we stay here, we can definitely block people!"
Although Cheng Biao has been here for two years, his previous connections are still there.
Now that I have money again, I can easily find someone who is a senior gambler who has been hanging out in casinos all year round!
"Underground casino?"
Wang Zhaoping narrowed his eyes slightly.
But considering that the goal is more important, I don’t want to rush this matter yet.
"Can you take me in?"
"Ah?" Brother Biao was stunned for a moment.
"This place is located in a remote area, and there are basically cars coming and going. It is impossible for him to come here on foot, so it is difficult to lock the target.
Moreover, gamblers gamble day and night, so just waiting is not an option."
"This..." Brother Biao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Then it would be wrong for Captain Wang to become my follower."
"Where is the word!"
Wang Zhaoping did not hesitate and said something into the headset.
"You guys stay on standby outside, I'll go in first to find out! Don't act without my orders!"
"Yes! Captain, be careful!"
Wang Zhaoping took off his headset, put on a pair of sunglasses, and drove to the depths of the unknown road according to Brother Biao's instructions...
After walking about a few hundred meters, a man in a pullover who looked to be in his mid-twenties waved to the car.
Brother Biao pressed down the car window.
"What are you doing? This is a construction site, no one is allowed to enter!"
The man scanned the people in the car with a wary look.
"Okay, okay! Don't do that with me!
What are you doing? Of course you are here to have fun!
I am Cheng Biao, Brother Biao!
I’m an old acquaintance with your boss, A Le, and I’m here to play a few games today! Tell him my name!”
Seeing Cheng Biao's fierce face and the name of his boss, the man was a little unsure of where he was coming from.
So I picked up a walkie-talkie and walked to the side and whispered a few words inside, then looked at a few people and waved.
"Come with me!"
Under the guidance of the man, the car turned into the underground parking lot.
"It seems that Brother Cheng is quite successful on the road?" Wang Zhaoping said with a hint of meaning while driving.
"Uh...haha!" Brother Biao laughed dryly.
"It's all from the old days. I was young and ignorant at the time, and I have been here for two years. But Captain Wang, don't get me wrong! We are definitely law-abiding citizens now, and we have changed our ways a long time ago!"
"Of course I believe this. I know Brother Meng's character and style, and the people he introduced are definitely right!" Wang Zhaoping smiled.
Brother Biao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but secretly thought that Brother Meng was really proud of himself.
Listening to Wang Zhaoping's tone, he actually admires Brother Meng very much?
Now he was even more convinced that he had met a noble person!
Master Meng is right, impulse is the devil, we must use legal means to protect our own rights!
If I could really strike up a friendship with the detective captain...
Then that guy Hu Dazhi...hehehehe...
…
The car made many twists and turns, and finally arrived at a corner of the underground parking lot.
I saw a dozen cars parked nearby. Looking at the license plates, many of them were from out of town.
Two black cars blocked the elevator entrance, and four or five strong men were sitting or standing around them.
When Wang Zhaoping and others got out of the car, the leader smiled when he saw Brother Biao.
"Isn't this Brother Biao? We haven't seen him for more than two years, right?
I heard about the fire that happened back then. Brother Biao was loyal enough to take the responsibility himself. I admire him, brother!
A while ago, I heard from Ahao that you were out, and I was thinking about catching up with you sometime.
I didn’t expect that the wind was blowing today and it actually brought you here?”
The man who spoke was wearing a gold chain, was tall and thick, and had a bunch of tattoos on his arms. He just barely had "I'm not to be trifled with" written on his face.
He is the talker here, Brother Le.
"Haha! It's all old news, so don't mention it!
I haven’t seen you in a few years. Brother Le, your business is getting bigger and bigger. I also heard from Ah Hao. How much money do you make every day?
So today, why don’t I just take the brothers out to play and learn more from Le Ge?”
The Ah Hao they mentioned was another group of prison bullies, men with flowery arms.
He is Brother Le's biological brother, and he was also imprisoned for gambling.
"Brother Biao, thank you! There has been a lot of trouble in the past two years, and all the customers have been taken away by the casino in Xiangshan Ao. This business is difficult to do!"
Brother Le spoke modestly, but his eyes were somewhat proud.
After all, whether you are doing well or not, that is your position on the road.
In the past, Brother Biao still suppressed him, but now things have changed.
"Since Brother Biao brings his brothers here to play, I naturally welcome him!
But come over to play, Brother Biao should know the rules."
"That's natural!"
Brother Biao smiled, took out his cell phone, stepped forward and opened his arms, and immediately a boy came over with a detector.
Wang Zhaoping narrowed his eyes slightly.
I didn't expect this underground casino to be so careful.
After checking the three of them and making sure there were no problems, Brother Le smiled.
"Xiao Huang, bring Brother Biao and the brothers up. First get 30,000 chips. Just treat it as if I invited Brother Biao today!"
"Okay!" A boy immediately pressed the elevator button and made a sign of invitation.
"Thank you so much Brother Le, I'll treat you to a drink next time!"
"It's settled! Haha!"
When the elevator door closed, Brother Le's smile slowly faded.
"Boss, I heard that Cheng Biao recently had a fire in the backyard and was betrayed by his own younger brother. Why are you still in the mood to play with us today?"
"Why can that be? People come to us either to relieve their boredom or to seek money. How about looking for girls?"
"Then...how to deal with these people?"
"Ha! Just let them play to relieve their boredom. Don't worry about it. If you are here to ask for money... then let them taste some sweetness first!
Ah Hao said that this guy has a bad tone in prison. I want to take a look.
Is his family background as big as his tone..."
Le Ge sneered, picked up the walkie-talkie and said something...
If you deal with an ordinary person, you can make him lose his pants in one night.
To deal with the big fat sheep, you need to talk about some strategies.
Playing the long game to catch the big fish...
…
On the other side, Xiao Huang took Wang Zhaoping and three others in the elevator until they reached the top 12th floor.
That’s right, this underground casino is actually on a high-rise!
The lights here are dim and the corridors are narrow, and no one else is walking around. You can only hear the friction between the soles of shoes and the ground.
The guide stopped in front of a wooden door, knocked three times, and the door opened from the inside.
After entering the door, I found that there was another door in front of me.
After passing through the two doors, the eyes suddenly brightened up, revealing a lively scene that was completely different from the outside!
There are several gaming tables in the space within sight.
The floor is carpeted, the walls are freshly painted, there is a changing counter at the entrance, and a row of lockers.
Gamblers, Junket Operators (people who solicit customers for casinos), tattooed men watching the casino...
Fifty or sixty people gathered together, making this secret space seem a bit crowded.
This is just the outside, there seems to be a gaming table in the room inside, and gamblers come in and out from time to time.
Damn it! It’s actually a big fish!
The scale of this underground casino is by no means small!
Wang Zhaoping's eyes lit up.
He had been observing carefully when he first arrived, and found that in addition to the open and hidden sentries outside, this underground casino was also equipped with surveillance cameras inside and outside the house.
If you rush in without knowing anything, you can easily scare the enemy away...
I couldn't help but marvel at the cunningness of these guys.
But the focus today is not to catch gamblers. His eyes have already begun to scan the gamblers.
"Brother Biao, these are the 30,000 chips ordered by Brother Le. Do you need to change some more?"
Xiao Huang smiled and handed a stack of chips to Brother Biao.
If you don't exchange money for chips at this time, you will definitely be suspected of whether you are really here to play.
"Axing, exchange another two hundred thousand!" Brother Biao ordered.
Fortunately, they just made a fortune, otherwise the drama would not be able to go on...
Wang Zhaoping glanced at Cheng Biao in surprise.
This guy... is rich enough!
Two hundred thousand in one move?
"Oh!" Axing reluctantly scanned the code and paid, and got a bunch of plastic chips in exchange.
Seeing Brother Biao and others cashing in another two hundred thousand, Xiao Huang smiled again and took out a plastic bag.
"You can't take pictures here, your cell phone must be kept by us first."
After the mobile phones handed over by the three were locked into the locker, and the number plates and keys were handed over to Brother Biao, Xiao Huang said this.
"Brother Biao, you guys have fun, if you have any orders, please feel free to call me!"
"Yeah!" Brother Biao nodded like a big brother and led the two of them into the casino.
At this time, seven or eight gamblers were sitting around the oval gambling table in the middle.
The silver bell made a "ding!" sound, "Buy it and leave!"
Colorful chips of varying amounts were slapped on the table.
The sounds of bidding, lamentations, curses and the sound of palms hitting the table were mixed in the room of more than 100 square meters.
In every poker game that lasts less than one minute, some people throw away tens of thousands of yuan at a time, and some people borrow money to buy chips on the spot after losing all their deposits...
In a space of only 200 square meters, various Ukiyo-e paintings of living beings are staged.
Wang Zhaoping was also a veteran detective, so he was no stranger to this kind of scene, so he asked in a low voice.
"What are the characteristics of a mourning dog?"
"That guy is a drug addict. He has thick dark circles under his eyes and an obvious bald spot on the side of his forehead, so he is nicknamed the Lost Dog!"
"Okay! Then let's look for it separately!"
Brother Biao nodded slightly, grabbed two handfuls of chips and gave them to Wang Zhaoping and Wang Zhaoping.
"You two take it and find a place to play some games. I want to try my luck today!" After deliberately speaking loudly, he walked towards a gambling table.
The other two people also dispersed with chips in hand, looking for targets respectively.
Most of the card tables in this underground casino are playing "Baccarat".
That is, the card game that often appears in movies and TV series to beat the "banker" and beat the "player".
Players can bet on "banker" or "player" at will. The dealer will draw two decks of cards, and the one with higher points wins. Finally, the dealer will take a 5% commission from the winner.
However, in general underground casinos, the water is very deep.
For example, the dealer plays the game, the Junket operator draws the commission, the dealer controls the cards, and the card holder plays with you...
The dealers who deal cards in casinos are often "professionals" invited from Southeast Asia.
There are many cheating techniques at the card table. The dealer can change the cards with just a move of his hand, and few people can spot it.
There are even poker tables where the playing cards are soaked in potion, and you can see the cards by wearing matching contact lenses.
The casino controls the winning and losing of every game.
Some places can make millions in a day.
Losing nine times out of ten bets is comforting, but losing ten times out of ten bets is a high probability event.
Wang Zhaoping came to a gambling table.
The electronic screen records the past cards, and the betting limit of the table is marked below.
The minimum bets are 1,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, and 3,000 yuan respectively.
He pretended to be observing the cards, but his eyes were scanning the people on the card table, looking for suspicious targets.
No! Next table!
After walking two or three tables in a row without finding the target, Wang Zhaoping suddenly realized that Xiao Huang from before had been secretly staring at him.
Obviously, the fact that he only watched the betting aroused his suspicion.
He had no choice but to take out a few of the smallest chips and put them on the gambling table.
Then he shouted "Three sides, three sides!" together with the gamblers around him, making himself more like a gambler.
"9 o'clock free."
"We lost again!" the gamblers lamented.
"Oops!" Wang Zhaoping sighed, then cursed and walked to the next gaming table.
As soon as he arrived at this table, his eyes lit up.
Because the man sitting in the middle of the card table...
The thick dark circles under the eyes and the bald spots on the side of the forehead are completely consistent!
found it!
"grass!"
Sanggou slapped the table in annoyance, and Wang Zhaoping noticed that there were only a few chips left in the box in front of him, so he obviously lost a bit miserably.
Wang Zhaoping found an empty seat at the gambling table and sat down, placing a few bets at random and secretly observing the lost dog.
Ten minutes later.
"Mad! Lost again! What a bad luck today!" The mourning dog finally lost all the chips in his hand.
"Bring me another 50,000 chips and record them in the account!"
However, it was clear that Sanggou had no intention of taking any action, just like a gambler who lost his mind and started to borrow money from the casino.
Of course, casinos have lending services, and the interest rates are extremely high.
But it seemed that the mourning dog was a regular customer, so the croupier didn't hesitate and had someone debit the account for 50,000 yuan.
"Yeah! I exchanged it for 50,000 yuan in one fell swoop, and it seems that I still have the ability to repay. This mourning dog must be quite rich.
Nine out of ten bets result in losses. Since the other party has been gambling all year round and yet can still spend so generously, there should be a relatively stable way to make money..."
Wang Zhaoping secretly analyzed in his mind.
More than half an hour passed...
"From Mahle Gobi! I didn't wash my hands when I went out today! I'll make double the money tomorrow!"
Sanggou stood up cursing because he had once again lost all his chips.
When Wang Zhaoping saw this, he quickly stood up and prepared to call Brother Biao and the two of them to follow the mourning dog.
As a result, when he came to the gambling table where Cheng Biao was sitting, he was stunned for a moment.
"Well……"
Looking at the pile of chips in front of the opponent and the envious looks of the gamblers around him, he felt a little confused.
this……
Are you sure you are here to help me find someone?
Not to mention that he was a little confused, Brother Biao himself, who was sitting at the gambling table, looked confused.
I'm really here to find someone!
Gambling is really just taking advantage of the situation.
Besides, the criminal police captain is sitting next to him. No matter how vicious a gambler he is, he wouldn’t dare to think about winning money!
But once you sit down, it keeps winning.
I bet the banker and he wins, and I bet the player and he wins again.
He did not believe in evil and pressed it a few more times, and the result became like this...
Look at the chips in front of you.
I won a total of two to three hundred thousand.
【As long as you know how to let go of your obsession, the money you have lost will be regained!】
So...as long as I don't think about making money, the money will automatically flow into my pocket?
My wealth...is it so abnormal?
"Hahaha! Brother Biao, look, how lucky am I today?
I won 30,000! My gambling luck was really reversed by Brother Meng! Uh...
I’ll go! Brother Biao, you are so awesome! Isn’t this doubled?”
At this time, Ah Xing also ran over from the other side, and there was another burst of exclamations.
Wang Zhaoping: "..."
Are you two really here to beat the autumn wind?
But what did he just say?
Was your gambling luck reversed by Brother Meng?
What the hell?
"Cough!" He coughed quickly.
"Brother Biao, have you forgotten that we have guests to meet soon?"
After reminding the two of them, he gestured toward the exit with his eyes.
"Oh, right! I almost forgot, Master Meng is truly a god! His calculations are so accurate!
Hahaha! Look at my gambling luck, it’s amazing!
Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s go quickly! I have to go quickly to thank Master!”
Brother Biao responded quickly, and the reason was ready.
The gamblers around were all curious, wondering who this Master Meng in their mouths was, who could actually help others win money like this?
Only the female dealer who dealt the cards twitched her lips slightly...
…
The three of them quickly changed their chips and took back their mobile phones, then hurried downstairs.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Wang Zhaoping saw a somewhat shabby old gray Citroën passing right in front of him, heading towards the exit of the underground parking lot...
Wang Zhaoping was sure that the only one left in front of them was the dead dog, which meant that this car was probably the target!
"Huh? Brother Biao, are you leaving so soon?" Brother Le said in surprise.
"Yes! I have to quickly go and say thank you to the master! Hahaha!
That master's calculation was so accurate! I really killed everyone today!
Brother Le, I’ll have a drink with you another day!”
"Uh...Okay, come back next time!"
Brother Le was a little confused as he watched the three of them drive away in a hurry.
Then he turned to look at the younger brother beside him.
"What did he just say?"
"He seems to think that he can kill everyone. Is it because of some bullshit master?" The younger brother scratched his head.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
The next moment, everyone burst into laughter...
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone thought this was a ridiculous coincidence.
As everyone knows, coincidence is the way fate remains anonymous...
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Alas! Fixed time updates are too difficult for me.
Some people said that yesterday's chapter was too short. In fact, it was just too late to post at noon, so it was divided into two. It was basically still 4,000 words per day.
I am who I am, the fireworks that never change...cough!
It's late again today, so I'll pay 5000+ to apologize.
If I update late in the future, I will try my best to compensate with as many code points as possible. It will not be short...
