Tiger Police

Chapter 409

Wang Lei replied: "I don't really like the girls that Brother Zhang introduced to me. The main reason is that they are too coquettish and too dusty. Those kind of girls will not stay with me for a long time, and it is even more impossible to talk about marriage." ...In short, we often meet together like this, probably once or twice a week, and it has been more than two months!"

Hu Pingtao suddenly thought of a question: "Who pays for your meals and gatherings?"

Without thinking, Wang Lei opened his mouth and answered: "Brother Zhang spends the money every time. I feel sorry for it, so I should take turns! But he doesn't want to say anything, and every time he pays the bill, he always rushes ahead of me, or he just ordered it." The restaurant called me over."

Hu Pingtao was noncommittal and asked, "What happened next?"

Wang Lei said: "One day he asked me to have lunch. After eating, Brother Zhang asked me if I was free in the afternoon? Because I had already handed over the business of the store to my dad when I came out, so I said I had no other arrangements. Brother Zhang Saying that you are idle anyway, why don't you invite two friends to play mahjong together?"

"I said I can't. I seldom go out since I was a child. My dad, like me, doesn't know how to play cards or mahjong. The usual entertainment is to play chess with the old people in the village. Then Brother Zhang joked: No wonder the women who introduced me said that I was stupid, and I didn’t even know how to do something as simple as mahjong.”

"I was very unconvinced when I heard it. I said that I can learn it if I don't know it. Brother Zhang, you can teach me. I will try to play. If I feel good after getting started, I will play with you in the future."

"So he called someone to make an appointment, took me to the tea room he opened, and asked for a room alone, so that I could learn while playing. Because it was my first time playing that day, the game was small, and it cost five yuan a shot. I was As a beginner, they all let me play until seven o'clock in the evening, and instead of losing, I won more than 200 yuan."

"Brother Zhang and the others said I was lucky, and I also thought playing mahjong was very interesting. So the next day I took the initiative to call Brother Zhang and made an appointment to play mahjong in the afternoon."

Hu Pingtao shook his head when he heard this, and said while taking notes: "You are a typical card that fell into someone's hands!"

This is an old saying that is often said among poker players.In the past, Hu Pingtao was in charge of managing the underground casino when he was performing tasks on the Binhai side.Many people who play mahjong say this, which means that people who just started playing cards generally have good luck. Even if they are not skilled, they can always catch good cards.

Wang Lei was obviously not in a good mood: "That's what they said too... I didn't expect to win money playing mahjong. During that time, I played every day, and it was a bloody battle to the end. It cost five yuan a cannon. Every time I I can win. When it was less, it was seven or eighty yuan, and when it was more, it was two or three hundred. It took more than a week! I won a total of more than 80 yuan."

Hu Pingtao stared at him with sharp eyes: "Did you play big later?"

Wang Lei was a little flustered. He obviously had other ideas in his mind, and he became hesitant to speak: "...well, it's not very big... We, we didn't gather people to gamble, we just played casually."

Wang Weichen couldn't listen anymore, he reached out his hand to grab Wang Lei's shoulder, shook it a few times, and shouted angrily: "What time is it? People are forcing debts to their homes. Since ancient times, this usury is You can't borrow it. Look at the white-haired girl, look at Yang Bailao, you are really forced to ruin your family!"

"Now that the police are here, what do you have to worry about? Just say what you need to say. Anyway, you have a big scar on your head, and you are dead. No matter what the police can do, they can't kill you, right? Gambling is against the law. Mostly just to arrest you and lock you up for a period of time. But what about the debtors? Can you beat them? Or can you use the money to settle this matter?"

After being slapped in the face by his father, Wang Lei instantly sobered up.He nodded to Hu Pingtao repeatedly: "I say, I say everything."

"Later, Brother Zhang said it was meaningless to play like this all the time. The bet of five yuan a shot was too small. If they hadn't taken care of me, a novice, they would have at least played one hundred. When I heard the bet, I was terrified. The difference between this 100 yuan and five yuan is too big. A slight win or loss is at least [-] to [-] yuan. With my family background, I can lose completely with a game of mahjong."

"I told my concerns, and Brother Zhang understood very well. So he suggested that the bet should be lowered, 30 yuan a gun. This is already very face-saving. Thinking about it carefully, I think 30 yuan is barely acceptable, so I decided Start playing with this bet."

"That day, I won more than 2000."

"The next day we continued to play mahjong. The bet was still 30 yuan, and I won [-] yuan."

"On the third day, I won a thousand and one..."

Hu Pingtao sarcastically said without emotion: "You are winning every day, it seems that your luck is really good. If this continues, the supermarket will not have to worry about it in the future, just play mahjong every day. Young man, you are really Lie flat, a winner in life!"

Wang Lei was ashamed, and his voice was lower than before: "Later, Brother Zhang said that I was lucky, and it was a pity not to play better. I was a little confused at that time, because mahjong is so easy to play, and it is really fun. Especially when you keep winning, it feels like time flies by."

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "How much did you win in total during that time?"

Wang Lei is particularly sensitive to numbers. He answered honestly: "It adds up to more than 2, and it looks like less than [-]."

Hu Pingtao raised his head, and his eyes fell on Zhang Yifeng who was not far away: "Then you raised the bet again?"

Wang Lei said "hmm": "I have won more, and I have become more courageous. I offered to stop playing [-], and play [-] according to Brother Zhang and his previous methods."

Hu Pingtao said coldly: "I didn't see it, you are quite considerate... You are not bold, but greedy. You have already won and want to win more. Why, do you think playing mahjong can make you rich? ? Or have you watched too many gambling movies and think you are Gao Jin's apprentice?"

Half ridicule and half warning, this is Hu Pingtao's characteristic of speaking.

Wang Lei didn't argue, he said dejectedly, "I don't know why, but I never won the next bet of 100 yuan. On the first day, I lost 1 yuan. On the second day, I lost [-] yuan. I lost [-] on the third day, and [-] on the fourth day... I lost all the money I won before, and I still owe more than [-]."

"I dare not tell my dad about this! Otherwise, he will definitely beat me to death. I thought that since I lost at the poker table, I must win the money back at the poker table. After all, it is all about playing, losing It’s normal to win or lose. I’ve observed carefully that Brother Zhang and his two friends didn’t team up, they fought each other. Thinking about how he waived my loan of 2 yuan before, I think it should be It's my luck, it has nothing to do with them."

"So I borrowed 5 yuan from Brother Zhang to continue playing mahjong."

"I've been unlucky all the time. After playing for less than a week, I lost all 5 yuan."

"I didn't believe in evil, so I asked Brother Zhang to borrow money, and it was still [-]. At that time, he warned me that it was not an option to keep losing like this. There are no general victors on the poker table. I was in a hurry at that time, so I asked Brother Zhang if there was anything that could make money He said no, but he still has a lot of experience in playing mahjong——if you keep losing, and you lose a lot, it’s best to change one or two mahjong players, that is, change people.”

"There is another way, which is to increase the bet. After all, I lost so much betting on 100 yuan, so I simply increased the bet and directly played 2. I will give [-] to a self-motivated family. If you are lucky and catch a big card, all or dragon seven That’s right, Zimo capped a family of Jiufan, which adds up to [-] yuan. The debt of more than [-] yuan can be returned with two Zimo.”

"After hearing what Brother Zhang said, I made an appointment with a friend to play with us."

"At first, I had doubts about the mahjong game organized by Brother Zhang, thinking that he might be targeting me. But when he said this, I thought it was pure fantasy. If it was really a game, how could he let me bring someone in? Then Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"I was really afraid of losing, and I was eager to win money, so I made an appointment with my friends to do some small tricks on the poker table, feed each other cards, and hit you when you need it, to speed up the speed of card making .If you win money, two people will split half and half, and everyone will benefit."

"Brother Zhang made another appointment to play mahjong that night. I proposed to play one thousand. The friend that Brother Zhang brought that night said that I had been losing all this time, and insisted that I take out cash or show him the mobile phone number. Pay the numbers."

"At that time, I only had 5000 yuan in cash with me, and I had no money on my mobile phone. I planned to do business without money. If I lost, I would go back to the old way and ask Brother Zhang to borrow money. But people said that, I didn't I’m ashamed to continue pretending, and I’ll ask Brother Zhang for help before the fight.”

"Brother Zhang said that it's okay to borrow money, but he has helped me many times, and he can't do it every time. Since I asked for one thousand, I will do as I said. But the bet is quite high, and it can be tens of thousands casually. When I am unlucky, I can lose 10,000+ in one night. He has no idea about me. If he wants to borrow money, he will take the formal way - write an IOU, and he has to follow the rules of his company's loan, and there is interest every day , belongs to the middle loan in usury."

"At that time, I only wanted to win money. I thought it would be difficult to lose with my friend helping me at the table. So without thinking too much, I signed a loan contract with Brother Zhang for a total of 20 yuan. The way to get a loan."

"His friends are willing to play when they see that I have money in my hands."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao interrupted it again, and asked puzzledly: "Wait first. You take your friends to play mahjong together, although you have made an appointment to play tricks on the poker table and feed each other cards. But 1000 Yuan's bet is too big. What's more, the mahjong table is not yours. Once someone tampers with it, the win or loss will be a big number. It's okay to win, but if you lose... Are you sure your friend has This tolerance?"

Wang Lei looked down at the ground under his feet, feeling very depressed: "...I asked him to come out to help. He usually plays mahjong, and his skills are very good. I said that we are in a partnership, and I will pay his share. Lose It’s up to me, if he wins, he gets one-third, and I get two-thirds.”

In this way, Hu Pingtao understood.He sighed: "It seems that you really want to make a fortune from this. Even if you can come up with such a crooked idea, you never thought that you would fall into it?"

Wang Lei raised his head, his young face full of bitterness: "I admit that I was indeed in a daze, but at that time I trusted Brother Zhang very much, and I never thought that something would happen. No matter whether he reduced or exempted the loan of 2 yuan from the beginning, Later, he invited me to dinner, and he kept lending me money when he lost playing mahjong without charging interest, which made me think he was a good man."

To Hu Pingtao, the comment of "good guy" was harsh and funny.

He couldn't help turning his gaze to Zhang Yifeng again.

The man was very quiet, sitting on the sofa without saying a word.No matter what the Wang family father and son said, he never argued or interrupted.Just sitting there smoking a cigarette slowly, one after another, the smoke is lingering.

Looking back at Wang Lei, Hu Pingtao asked indifferently: "How much did you lose that night?"

Wang Lei's face turned pale. For him, this was definitely a painful experience that he wanted to forget, but it had already been branded deep in his mind, like a bloody wound that kept turning up.

"...I lost 11 yuan, and my friend lost almost as much. Anyway, the total added up to more than 22 yuan. All the money on me was emptied, and the 20 yuan I borrowed from Brother Zhang was not enough. .”

"Brother Zhang and his friends were really lucky that day. Almost every hand was self-drawn. They made at least ten full cards of all colors, and there were also several hands on the kong. My friend and I discussed feeding each other cards before, and it turned out that I found that this kind of trick is not used at all. Many times the cards are bad, and it is useless to touch the cards, but it is very good to hit the bid."

"I was terrified that day. I didn't dare to tell my dad when I got home. The next day I took the initiative to call Brother Zhang to make a mahjong appointment."

Hu Pingtao asked in disbelief: "You have lost so much, do you still want to fight?"

Wang Lei's face showed a stubbornness that didn't match his youth... No, it should be madness: "The old saying is good: Wherever you fall, you will get up from where you fell. 20 is a lot of money, my dad doesn't care. I can't afford it anyway. Anyway, winning or losing is just a game of cards, as long as Brother Zhang is willing to borrow money, I have a chance to turn around."

Wang Gui stood behind Hu Pingtao and kept taking pictures with the law enforcement camera.Hearing this, he couldn't help raising his hand to caress his forehead, and let out a soft sigh.

Zhang Juan and the photographer also stared at each other.

Anyone with a little brain will more or less feel that there is something wrong with this kind of poker game.You've already sunk so deep, and you still want to drill in?

Are you out of your mind?

Hu Pingtao asked coldly: "How much did you borrow from him later?"

He had lost all his first pity for the young man.

Greed is an original sin.

Getting something for nothing is even more unrealistic.

Laziness, coupled with greed... This kind of person will not suffer and be fooled, it is beyond the law of nature.
