Tiger Police

Chapter 235 Suspicious Clouds
Li Jianbin asked suspiciously: "The owner of the mahjong hall has something to do with this?"

Hu Pingtao nodded affirmatively: "Even if there is no direct connection, at least it is indirect."

Liao Qiu reacted quickly: "Xiaohu, are you referring to that mahjong table?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "That's right! Not just anyone can modify the electronic program of the mahjong table. Especially for those who run a mahjong hall, the word "integrity" is essential if they want to do a good job. If some Customers keep losing, and some customers keep winning, which will only lead to the loss of customers. Playing mahjong is to win, and if you lose a lot, you have no interest. The place where you play is commonly known as "wozi", and it is normal to win and lose. If someone keeps losing , and if you lose badly, you will feel resentment. Either you don’t come at all, or you report directly to the local police station and bring everyone in.”

"So standing in the position of the owner of the mahjong hall, I definitely hope that the guests will win and lose, and come in rotation. Under this premise, the owner of the mahjong hall will generally not adjust the table procedures, and there is no need for this."

"Zhang Ligen is different. Although I don't know where he learned the technique of adjusting the mahjong table, one thing is certain—before this, he must have helped repair it in some way and with an excuse. table."

Having said that, Liao Qiu also understood: "He took the opportunity to adjust the program of the mahjong table?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "He should have the remote control of the mahjong table with him. It is not difficult to adjust the program. I have handled a case before. The remote control in the casino can be self-made. There is no technical content, it is very simple."

Liao Qiu took a deep breath, and commanded Li Jianbin smugly: "Let's arrange it! Retrial the three guys immediately."

At this time, the landline on the table rang.

Liao Qiu picked it up, and Ding Jian's familiar voice came from the microphone.

"The autopsy results came out: sudden cardiac death."

……

Wang Qingguo had a natural fear of the interrogation room.Especially when he walked in for the second time, he was forced to sit on a chair, and he was given the special treatment of "bonus" handcuffs.

Hu Pingtao is in charge of the presiding judge.

The opening remark is simple: "Tell me everything you know. I remind you, don't take chances. I am very aware of what you have done. Zheng Qianshan did not die accidentally. You... including Zhang Ligen, conspired to murder."

Wang Qingguo trembled all over, and opened his mouth to scream, "No, I didn't kill anyone."

Hu Pingtao smiled lightly: "Do you want me to invite you to play a game of mahjong. Let you lose [-] or [-] games first, and then let you get all the cards in the last game and draw three?"

Wang Qingguo's face turned pale immediately, as if he saw a ghost.

"……how do you know?"

Hu Pingtao said coldly: "That's what our police do. Let me remind you one last time: if you confess, you will be lenient, but if you resist, you will be strict. If you refuse to confess, you will end up in prison. You are in your 60s Now, the house is full of children and grandchildren, the village has been demolished, and the relocation house plus compensation is worth at least one or two million yuan. After suffering for most of my life, now is the time to enjoy happiness. Think about your peers in the village, others are happy to tease their grandchildren. On a good day, you are imprisoned and suffering, and you may die of old age in it."

"I feel worthless for you!"

"Have you heard of Chi Zhiqiang's "Tears Behind the Bars"? You are holding a steamed bun in your hand, and there is not a drop of oil in the bowl. Would you like me to play a part of it for you right now?"

Wang Qingguo's expression was dull, his lips were trembling, and he asked eagerly: "If... if I say it, can it be considered a surrender?"

Hu Pingtao couldn't help laughing: "I didn't see it! You still know our policies very well! That's fine! Look at your performance, if you honestly tell everything you know, we will definitely be there This is mentioned in the report, and depending on the circumstances, the sentence will be reduced, and there may even be immunity from prosecution.”

Wang Qingguo said dejectedly: "...Then, I will say it."

……

It was already midnight when Yang Dafu was brought into the interrogation room.

He was yawning and sleepy.

Originally, his face was full of indifference, but the moment his hands were handcuffed, he came to his senses.

"This...comrade policeman, I am a good person! Why are you handcuffing me?" He groaned.

Hu Pingtao stared at him and asked bluntly, "How did Zheng Qianshan die?"

Without even thinking about it, Yang Dafu opened his mouth and answered, "The police... oh no, I was scared to death by Zhang Ligen."

Hu Pingtao looked serious: "The police station is a state organ, and now it's a formal trial. Let me remind you that every word you say now will become an important basis for the judge's sentencing when it comes to the court."

Yang Dafu was dumbfounded immediately: "Sentencing? This...you mean, I want to go to court?"

Hu Pingtao ignored him and continued with the question just now: "How did Zheng Qianshan die?"

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Yang Dafu's heart, he shook his head in a panic: "I didn't kill him, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"That is to say, Zheng Qianshan was not scared to death, it was a murder case!" Hu Pingtao's tone of voice was very well controlled.He sneered just right: "You were there at the time."

"I didn't do it!" Yang Dafu couldn't laugh anymore, the corners of his mouth were twitching all the time: "I just... no, I don't know anything, I really don't know anything!"

Hu Pingtao snorted coldly with disdain: "If you don't tell me, there is nothing I can do? There are three of you, and Zhang Ligen came later. Wang Qingguo and Tao Xingzheng have already explained. You think I'm idle and have nothing to do, calling you in the middle of the night Get up and ask questions?"

Yang Dafu was dumbfounded again, he was speechless, unable to utter a word.

"Think about your family! You are old, don't go to jail when you should be enjoying life." Hu Pingtao sighed and repeated what he had said to Wang Qingguo.

Yang Dafu is a smart person, he nodded his head like pounding garlic: "I say it, I say it all."

……

After three o'clock in the morning, it was Tao Xingzheng's turn.

Hu Pingtao still had the same question: "How did Zheng Qianshan die?"

Tao Xing was looking down at the handcuffs, his body trembling uncontrollably.

After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head in extremely slow movements, his face was full of despair, but there was hope in the depths of his eyes.

"...I have been in the police station before, and I know your police methods. Since I was brought in for the second time and handcuffed, it means... wait, have you already arrested Lao Yang and Lao Yang? Wang? These two bastards sold me?"

He gasped heavily and made a hoarse voice.

Hu Pingtao was surprised by this.He leaned forward, put his left hand on the table, and asked calmly, "Why do you think it's Yang Dafu and Wang Qingguo, not Zhang Ligen?"

Tao Xingzheng stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, and shook his head firmly: "Zhang Ligen will not betray me."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao asked quickly, without giving him time to think.

"Zhang Ligen is out for revenge." Tao Xingzheng's voice was low, but clear enough: "Yang Dafu and Wang Qingguo are out for money... Mahler Gobi, I guessed it would be like this."

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "Then do you think it is necessary to waste time?"

Tao Xingzheng showed a helpless smile on his old face: "...Those two bastards...It's the same as what my grandson said in the game, teammate pig!"

He raised his head and asked uncertainly: "If I take the initiative to explain the problem, can it be regarded as surrender and be treated leniently?"

Hu Pingtao was noncommittal: "It depends on your attitude."

"Okay!" Tao Xingzheng was very straightforward: "I'm old, and I'm really afraid of going to prison. In fact, if Zhang Ligen hadn't been begging me for this matter, and he had promised enough benefits, Lao Yang, Lao Wang and I would really be happy. I don’t want to agree to it.”

Hu Pingtao said: "Be more specific, explain the matter carefully."

Tao Xing was continuing to lick his lips, and suddenly asked: "Comrade policeman, have you ever interrogated Zhang Ligen?"

Hu Pingtao replied: "Don't worry about it, just say what you know."

Tao Xingzheng was a little anxious: "I want to make meritorious service, and I want to fight for leniency. If you haven't tried Zhang Ligen, then what I said will be very useful to you."

Hu Pingtao pondered for a moment, and responded: "Don't bargain with me. I have already made my attitude clear, and you are now a criminal suspect. It's still the same sentence—whether you can be lenient depends on your attitude. And the question of explanation."

Tao Xing was hesitating for a few seconds, and tentatively asked: "...Can I have a cigarette?"

Hu Pingtao reached into his pocket, took out a box of premium "Yuxi", got up and walked to Tao Xing, took out one and handed it to him, then lit it with a lighter.

Tao Xingzheng took a deep breath and held it in his lungs for a long time before slowly letting out the remaining smoke from his nostrils.

"The enmity between Zhang Ligen and Lao Zheng has not lasted for a day or two."

"Old Zheng used to have a bad reputation in the village, gambling for money. In the words of the time, he was a bum. He had land in his family, but he was too lazy to plant it. I, Lao Yang, Lao Wang, and Zhang Ligen were all on the same side with him. He grew up with his son. Old Zheng is older than us, he has a wild nature, and depends on his parents for food and clothing, and hardly touches the farm work.”

"Old Zheng is very good at talking, he is very talented. But he didn't learn well since he was a child, and he just mixed with people in the underworld. There used to be an old thief on Majie, the kind who stole things. It is said that both hands There are only three fingers left, and the rest were discovered when they were stealing things, and they were chopped off on the spot. It’s all old things. At that time, your police were not as strict as you are now. If you catch a thief, you have to beat him up on the spot. Just chop off your fingers."

"That old thief is very famous. Later, the masses reported it and was arrested. During the time he was outside, Lao Zheng took the initiative to find him and wanted to learn from him. He will rely on this for his living in the future."

As he said that, Tao Xing raised his hands, stretched out his right index finger and middle finger, and made a gesture of clamping them together.

"The old thief confiscated him. Old Zheng just knelt outside the old thief's residence. Later, seeing that the old thief hadn't responded, he changed his method and helped the old thief buy food. He took care of him for several months."

Hu Pingtao said coldly: "It's not good to learn anything, you have to learn how to steal."

Tao Xingzheng explained: "At that time, it was different from now. Those people who were gangsters were like heroes to us children. The family was poor and couldn't afford to go to school. Later, there was compulsory free education, and we were over the age... ...Talking away, let’s continue talking about Lao Zheng. He actually didn’t learn anything from the old thief, but the old thief has a few friends who don’t follow the right path. They happened to gather at the old thief’s place for dinner, so they taught the old thief Zheng has a few tricks."

"They are all ways to gamble out of thousands. There are two kinds of Pai Gow and poker."

Hu Pingtao suddenly frowned and asked, "How do you know such details?"

Cheating is a big taboo in gambling. Once discovered, it will be murdered to vent anger, or cut off hands and fingers.No matter who it is, it is a secret that will not be passed on.

Tao Xingzheng said: "I have a different relationship with Lao Zheng. When I was 14 years old, there was a famine in the village. He and I dug a mouse hole in the mountain and gave him some corn cakes. Lao Zheng regarded me as a lifesaver at that time. Just tell me these things."

"Actually, strictly speaking, it's not a big deal. No matter Pai Gow or poker, if you want to change cards to play thousands, you need to pay attention to technique and speed. Old Zheng is lazy. Although he knows how to do it, he doesn't want to spend time practicing. In a word Words: He knows what he knows, but he can't eat this bowl of rice after all."

"In the past, when gambling in the village, you could bet with a few cents, and it was a lot to win a few cents. After the reform and opening up, money became less and less valuable. Lao Zheng's parents are old and can't control him. He was arrested several times because of gambling, and his reputation has been ruined. The girls in the neighborhood don't want it, and the matchmakers dare not come to the door, but after all, he has reached the age and has to get married."

"That year, Zhang Ligen came back from working outside. He was an honest man. He invited the villagers to eat and helped build houses, which revealed his wealth. At that time, unlike now, there were banks everywhere, and it was very convenient to withdraw and deposit money. You have to walk several miles. When Lao Zheng saw Zhang Ligen carrying such a large bag of cash, he became ill-intentioned and wanted to set a trap for him."

"I made an appointment with Zha Jinhua that night. I, Lao Yang, and Lao Wang were all there. It was Lao Zheng who came up with the idea... Comrade policeman, I really didn't lie to you, and I didn't mean to separate myself on purpose. You just need to ask Lao Zheng Yang and Lao Wang knew that it was Lao Zheng who was operating at that time. He asked us to play with Zhang Ligen, first let Zhang Ligen win some money, and then he made a move."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Can Zheng Qianshan control the licensing?"

Tao Xingzheng nodded: "He still practiced later. Of course, that bit of skill would not catch the eyes of experts at all, but there were too many people on that day, and with Lao Yang and Lao Wang blocking the way, he sent a "two three five" "It's still okay to cut the "bomb" card."

"Zhang Ligen lost more than 2 yuan in a single card. He really went bankrupt."

"Old Zheng gave each of us a thousand."

"Lao Yang was not happy at the time, saying that Lao Zheng had a dark heart and had to share it equally."

"Old Wang is the same, yelling: If Lao Zheng is unfairly distributed, disclose this matter and tell Zhang Ligen."

"Zheng Qianshan directly showed his knife and threatened us: If anyone dares to speak, he will be killed."
