Chapter 362 Casino

After paying for the meal, I gave the waiter one or two pieces of silver as a reward.

After sending the waiter away, Lin Ji left the inn with Huang Cui and followed the shopkeeper.

Just now, Lin Ji casually left his spiritual consciousness on his body. Although the shopkeeper had disappeared, he would not lose him at all.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive outside a mansion.

It can be seen that the innkeeper has quite a lot of property. Although the mansion does not look big, it is somewhat grand.

Lin Ji and Huang Cui walked into the mansion and soon arrived outside the dead man's room.

Standing outside the house, they could already hear the cry of the shopkeeper inside, and in front of the door, they could vaguely see some blood flowing out.

The waiter was right, there was indeed a lot of blood.

Lin Ji opened the door and walked in. He saw two maids wiping tears aside, while the shopkeeper cried bitterly while hugging the body on the bed.

Although the body had died not long ago, the skin on its body was already looking a little sickly pale due to a large amount of blood loss.

Lin Ji also noticed the corpse's wrists hanging from the bed.

"It's so miserable." Huang Cui looked on with some unbearable feelings.

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

After being a head catcher for several years, he has seen too many tragedies in the world. Even in the peaceful Qingyang County, there will be tragic incidents that make people cry every day.

The world is not peaceful, that's why.

What he was paying attention to at this time was the wound on the wrist of the deceased.

"It's said to be a wrist slit. Have you ever seen anyone who cut their wrists and cut most of the bones?" Lin Ji suddenly asked.

Huang Cui's expression froze, and then she realized something was wrong.

Lin Jize continued: "How cruel does this person have to be to cut his wrists like this in a living person? A woman? Even if she is cruel enough, can she bear the pain?"

"If she can even endure such pain, tell me... what would have to happen to make her despair and commit suicide?"

While they were talking, the people in the room finally discovered the existence of Lin Ji and Huang Cui.

Just when they were about to ask, someone from the county government had already arrived.

Niu Baotou came to the scene with several of his men. After seeing Lin Ji, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Don't worry about me, just do your errands." Lin Ji signaled.

Niu Baotou responded quickly and came to the shopkeeper's side.

"Shopkeeper Qian, why did Mrs. Qian commit suicide and die? What happened?" Niu Captou asked.

"No...I don't know either." Shopkeeper Qian's eyes were still red, "There's nothing wrong with her these days. When I went to the inn this morning, she asked me to bring her some snacks in the evening."

"I don't know why she can't think about it all of a sudden! If there's anything you can't tell me about a couple..."

While talking, Shopkeeper Qian felt sad and started crying again.

Niu Captou and his men looked at each other, obviously helpless.

Soon, Niu Catou came to Lin Ji's side.

"Mr. Lin, Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Qian are quite affectionate. They don't do any bad things on weekdays. They are quite popular in the county. They don't seem like people who would do something like this. This..."

"But now it's out. You are the head catcher. You come to ask me?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, which made the head catcher tremble in fear.

But at this moment, someone else came outside.

This time it was a strong man who came with seven or eight men.

The strong man had a sinister face and a fierce look.

When he arrived at the scene and saw the cow being decapitated, he grinned and cupped his hands.

"Li Laosan, what are you doing here?" Niu Baotou asked coldly, not giving the strong man a good face.

The strong man laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's rare for a cow to catch its head!"

"Old Li is here to collect the debt...Hey, why is Mrs. Qian dead? This is not possible. We don't have the right to settle debts after death."

Lin Ji took Huang Cui out of the room and watched quietly.

Soon, the sound of quarrels and the sound of persuasion came from the room.

Lin Ji had already understood what happened.

Huang Cui sighed at the side: "Then Mrs. Qian got into gambling and even lost her family property in gambling. Then she regretted committing suicide?"

The quarrel inside was still going on, and it was probably the debt collector Li Laosan who was yelling nonsense about suing the government if he didn't pay back the money.

Huang Cui said with some dissatisfaction: "This Li Laosan is too impersonal. He comes to ask for money just after someone dies."

Lin Ji shook his head and said: "This is not surprising. People from all three religions and nine schools are like this. They only recognize money and not people. If we change positions and you know that your wife has lost all the family property, what will you do?"

Huang Cui couldn't understand.

Lin Ji sighed softly: "If it were me, I would take away what I can, exchange money for what I can exchange, and then run away."

"The people who run casinos also know this truth, so they come to collect debts as soon as possible. They are afraid that if they don't get the money, they won't be able to find the people."

"Even so, it's too much." Huang Cui was still a little aggrieved.

"Gamblers don't deserve sympathy. It's the money shopkeeper who is pitiful." Lin Ji said casually, then muttered, "It's gambling that hurts people again."

"What's that?" Huang Cui asked in confusion.

Lin Ji then told what he had heard from Qi Zheng before. The first person Qi Zheng dreamed of was because of gambling.

He lost his wife in a bet and committed suicide.

After finishing speaking, Lin Ji said coldly: "How can a person who enters the game have the spirit to play the game? Many people don't understand this truth. It's hateful for casinos to harm people, and it's hateful for gamblers to harm their families."

But at this moment, Huang Cui suddenly said: "Brother Lin, do you think these two things are related?"

"What?"

"Casino... Brother Lin, you also said that Mrs. Qian's death was abnormal. She cut off most of her wrist. She could even withstand such pain. How could she be a gambling debtor?"

To die?"

Hearing this, Lin Ji had an idea flash in his mind.

At this time, the outcome seemed to have been decided, and the shopkeeper handed over the property deed of the inn in exchange for an IOU written by his wife.

A lifetime's worth of property was handed over to others.

Seeing Li Laosan leaving with high spirits, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and left a trace of spiritual consciousness on his body.

"You're right, these two things may be related." Lin Ji looked at Huang Cui and chuckled, "It seems I have to become a gambler."

Not long after, Niu Catou also came out and briefly described the matter to Lin Ji.

It's probably a story about someone who got addicted to gambling and lost his family's fortune, so he committed suicide out of guilt.

The story is not unusual, Lin Jigang heard it all too.

"What's the background of the casino?" Lin Ji casually asked, pointing to Li Laosan who was walking away.

Niu Baotou laughed twice and didn't know how to explain it for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ji suddenly understood.

A nest of snakes and rats.
