The fat man was a little embarrassed and could only walk up to Gu Chen honestly.
"Are you a staff member here?" Gu Chen asked.
"Uh, yes, yes, but I'm just showing off to others." The fat man was a little timid and stammered when he spoke.
Gu Chen asked again: "How many rooms are there exactly here? Is there a floor plan?"
"There's no floor plan, and that's all the room has." The fat man was obviously pretending to be stupid.
Of course, none of this could escape Gu Chen's eyes. Gu Chen also said bluntly: "How many staff members do you have here?"
"Just... just two." The fat man lowered his head and said slowly.
"Two? Where is the other one?" Officer Wang heard this and quickly asked.
The fat man quickly pointed outside: "There is another one outside."
"Watching?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The fat man did not dare to answer directly and could only nod silently.
After getting to know the internal members, mainly two staff members, Gu Chen also looked around.
The gamblers here come in all ages. The young ones look like they are less than 20 years old, and the older ones look like they are in their 70s.
But in such a place, so many people gathered.
To say that the people around you are not clear about it is definitely not the case. It is just that these people have taken good care of it and told the people around you who are aware of it not to tell the truth.
So much so that these people gathered together to gamble on such a scale.
Of course, what shocked Gu Chen was not the problem of people gathering to gamble in the basement of this kind of market, but the various secret rooms inside, one after another, just like matryoshka dolls.
Without an exact topographic map, it is difficult to discover other locations.
Or it may take a long time to investigate.
Mao Zi had only learned about some specific structures at a few locations on the periphery.
As a non-VIP member, he cannot enter the internal area.
Therefore, the clues that can be provided to Gu Chen are very limited.
Now that he knew the general structure of the interior, Gu Chen walked directly to the fat man and reminded him, "Take me and open all the secret rooms."
"this……"
"What is this?" Yuan Shasha reminded him angrily when she saw that the fat man seemed to be resisting.
"Then... that's okay." It seemed that he had lost his temper at this moment. The fat man lowered his head, sighed heavily, and said:
"Actually, I'm just a watcher and a part-time worker."
"Who is the boss? Tell me?" Officer Wang said.
"have no idea."
"Pfft, haha, you don't know who you are working for? Are you a liar? Do you think it's fun to play tricks on us?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant." It seemed that Officer Wang was not easy to mess with, so the fat man could only explain:
"I usually don't have contact with the boss. The boss invites me to come over to manage. If there are any issues, we always communicate on the phone."
"When the time comes every month, there will be more money in my account, and this money is salary."
"Besides managing this casino, I don't actually have to do anything. I just send the bills to the boss every day."
"It's quite easy to say." Lu Weiwei had a problem when she heard that. She walked back and forth in front of the fat man and said involuntarily:
"A casino of your size is managed by you casually, and the boss doesn't come forward. Do you really think we are being fooled?"
Walking up to the fat man, Lu Weiwei looked up and down and continued: "In my opinion, you are the boss here, right?"
"No, no, I'm not the boss. I really am not the boss. Comrade police, you must have misunderstood." Feeling that he couldn't do it if he didn't explain, the fat man quickly retorted.
"Bring that person here." Officer Wang was unambiguous at this moment and shouted directly outside.
Soon, the man who was standing guard outside was escorted to the underground casino by two trainee police officers.
The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Officer Wang walked up to the man on guard and asked, "Which of you two is the boss?"
"Boss? There is no boss?" The man on guard heard this and responded quickly.
But this is not the answer that Officer Wang wants. This guy must have been confessed before.
Then he pointed at the fat man and said, "Is he the boss?"
"No...no, he is just a part-time worker. We have never met the boss."
"Never seen it before? You only get salary and don't meet the boss, right?" Lu Weiwei felt that these two people were too perfunctory, so she said teasingly.
But the man on guard nodded fiercely and quickly explained: "That's right, that's just me. I don't get to see my boss at all."
"You can really pretend." Seeing that the sentry man seemed to have a tough-talking attitude, Officer Wang decided not to tolerate it anymore and walked directly behind the group of gamblers and reminded:
"Does anyone here know who the boss is?"
After the words fell, the group of people holding their heads in their hands and squatting facing the wall looked at each other and whispered to each other, but no one responded.
Then Officer Wang said again: "You guys, if you tell who the boss is? or know the information about the boss, we can deal with you based on your meritorious performance."
"Otherwise you know what punishment you will face? Think about it for yourselves and give you a minute."
After Officer Wang finished speaking, the people on the ground suddenly began to chatter and communicate with each other.
Gu Chen noticed a tall, thin, middle-aged man with short hair, who had been squatting there and hesitating. It seemed that he knew something, but he couldn't tell.
So Gu Chen kept secretly observing to see when this guy would get up.
It seemed that he had also thought about it. The short-haired man turned his head and looked at Gu Chen.
The short-haired man immediately turned his head away, as if he didn't want Gu Chen to see him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen didn't say anything, he just walked directly behind the short-haired man, where he stood.
The light shone on Gu Chen's tall figure and reflected on the wall.
The short-haired man looked up at Gu Chen's figure, appearing on the wall in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Slowly turned his head and glanced back.
When he saw Gu Chen standing there, not saying anything but staring at him, the man hesitated for a few seconds before taking the initiative to stand up.
"Do you know who the boss is?" Gu Chen asked.
"I know." The short-haired man was unambiguous. He pointed directly at the fat man and said, "He is the boss of this place."
After the words fell, the fat man gritted his teeth with hatred and wanted to fight with the short-haired man.
But under the warning look from the police's eyes, he suddenly suppressed his anger again.
Gu Chen turned to look at the short-haired man and asked, "How do you know he is the boss?"
"I came here on a business trip, and after being introduced by an acquaintance and friend, I learned that there is an underground casino hidden here, so I wanted to try my luck here."
After the words fell, the short-haired man sighed and continued: "Anyway, I just came here to have fun, and I have to go back to work after that."
"I won't come here again, and it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Turning his head and looking around, the short-haired man added: "They are different. They have to visit here often, so they dare not say anything."
"Is this really the case?" When Officer Wang heard this, he was immediately delighted and quickly asked.
The short-haired man also nodded fiercely and couldn't help but said: "Yes, I have observed that this person is the boss."
"Come here." Seeing that the short-haired man had already explained clearly, Officer Wang pointed at the fat man and motioned for him to come over quickly.
The fat man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but kept suppressing his anger and walked directly to Officer Wang.
Officer Wang saw the fat man staring at the short-haired man, so he deliberately slapped the fat man on the shoulder several times with his hand, reminding the fat man not to act recklessly. By the way, he asked:
"You are the boss here? Are you sure?"
"Haha, that's right. That's right." With the short-haired man's accusation, the fat man stopped pretending to be naive and began to speak with confidence.
His expressions can be changed freely, and Gu Chen also feels that this guy is really good at performing.
But no matter how good your acting skills are, you can't escape Gu Chen's eyes.
After learning about the situation, Gu Chen also looked at the fat man and asked: "Let me ask you, are you sure you are the boss here?"
"OK." The fat man nodded silently, but he was unconvinced in his heart.
Gu Chen ignored this and continued to ask: "Then I asked you just now, why did you lie?"
"I……"
After hesitating for a moment, the fat man said slowly: "Isn't this just an attempt to get away with it?"
"Why are there so many secret doors here?" Gu Chen asked.
"That's just so that I can fool myself and use it as a cover when inspecting it, because there are supplies piled inside, and once the power switch is turned off, it will be completely dark inside."
"Even if there were uniformed personnel checking above, they would never have imagined that there are so many things hidden in this cellar."
"Haha, you are quite smart." Officer Wang heard this and couldn't help but tease him.
The fat man also sighed heavily: "It's over, now you guys are taking the blame."
While speaking, the fat man looked at Maozi who was wearing a hood and handcuffs.
Because Mao Zi was wearing a hood at this moment, Fatty also became wary. He looked in Mao Zi's direction and casually said:
"Brother, you brought these policemen here, right?"
Hearing the fat man's words, Mao Zi subconsciously hid behind him, as if he didn't want to be recognized by the fat man.
The fat man looked at it carefully and then asked: "Do we know each other or have we had any conflicts? Why did you bring the police to harm me?"
It seemed that he knew very well that his secret location had been leaked, so the fat man was feeling angry at the moment.
At this moment, Mao Zi continued to retreat, hiding behind several police officers.
Seeing that the fat man wanted to take a few steps forward, Gu Chen directly stopped him with his body and said seriously:
"What are you still going through? What were you pretending to do just now? Let me ask you again, are you the boss here?"
It felt like he had lost face here and felt a bit disgraced. After some mental struggle, the fat man nodded and admitted:
"Yes, I am the boss here."
"I'll just say it." Seeing the fat man finally speaking, Lu Weiwei also smiled and said:
"It's such a big casino. The boss doesn't rely on his own people, but relies on an outsider. He doesn't show up to pay wages. He can pretend."
"This kind of thing is problematic at first glance, especially these accounting issues, the accounting for commissions, are all handled by you."
"How can you do this if you are not a close confidant of the boss? So from the beginning, we have been suspicious of you, but your acting skills just now were indeed good."
"Huh!" Feeling that he had been exposed, the fat man was a little embarrassed and quickly apologized to the police and said:
"Don't worry, I'm troubling you. This place was originally a warehouse, and it was just a warehouse before."
"It was only later that more and more people gathered in my shop to play cards, and I began to realize that I should build a basement and decorate it properly?"
"That's why I started taking care of these things."
"But why do you have so many dark rooms here?" Lu Weiwei looked curious.
The fat man also sighed and responded: "For privacy and security, because some guests like places with fewer people."
"So, maybe it will be noisy and noisy in the lobby."
"Okay." After hearing what the fat man said, Lu Weiwei quickly took out her mobile phone, showed Wen Jun's photo in front of the fat man, and asked:
"Have you seen this person?"
The fat man squinted his eyes to observe, and when he took a closer look, his face instantly became ugly.
But just in the blink of an eye, the fat man shook his head quickly, as if he didn't understand at all.
But these micro-expressions were successfully captured by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also smiled slightly and continued to ask him: "Have you seen him? And not only have you seen him? This person may still be in your basement now?"
"Hey, comrade policeman, don't be joking. The main purpose of my casino here is to make a commission."
"How do you know this person? By the way, who is this person?"
"Okay." It felt like this fat man was going to fight hard, so Gu Chen didn't bother with him. After walking back and forth twice, he took a general look at the hall and the surroundings, and then said again:
"Everyone go in and search, and if you find any gaps or hidden doors, you must be careful."
"As long as there is a gap in the wall here, then let me go in and look for it. I will dig three feet into the ground to find the person."
"Yes." Following Gu Chen's order, everyone joined in the search.
This battle instantly made the fat man extremely nervous.
After seeing these policemen, he actually started to study the gaps and successfully opened one of the rooms with a secret door. The fat man's psychological defense seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
