Chapter 46: Thunder Retaliation
The captain of the gambling boat who was instructed to work was not bad at all, and first sent someone to inform the guests that the gambling boat was about to dock for supplies, so that some guests who were inconvenient to show their heads left first.
Then, side by side, four large ships set sail from the high seas and headed straight for Macao.
On this day, the sea was calm, which was a good time to go to sea, and the driving was also very smooth.
Thinking of his brother's death, and the tens of millions of gambling money, I am afraid that I will not be able to get it back, Xingjing was very depressed, and came to the deck, blowing the sea breeze.
"Tens of millions of bets, if the 50 million wins, it won't be enough to lose if you sell yourself. However, there will be so many people competing for the firecrackers, it shouldn't be so coincidental, someone just re-bets on the lottery, right? ”
The mirror was calculating in his heart, and his mind was spinning rapidly, pondering what to do about this matter.
Whining!
The four ships were moving steadily, and just as they sailed into the waters of Macao, there were strange sounds from the sea, and the strange sounds were harsh, attracting many guests to the deck and look curiously.
"What's going on? So harsh! ”
"Look, how come there are so many boats over there?"
"Five-star Lotus Flag, that seems to be our Macau ship, right?"
"Not only that, but there are also Bauhinia flags, and there are also boats in Hong Kong Zong Shizai, what happened?"
Not far away, I saw a row of small and medium-sized boats running side by side, mighty and mighty, there were more than a dozen of them, and the momentum was huge.
Most of the guests had never heard such a sound, let alone seen such a scene, and their curiosity was bursting.
Provincial mirror stays on the high seas all the year round and is responsible for gambling boats, but he is very familiar with things at sea, isn't this the alarm movement of the broken ship of the marine police, he also knows as much as half of those boats, there are Hong Kong and Macao marine police, anti-smuggling boats, and a few are not very familiar to him.
In short, they are official ships, not privately owned.
Coincidentally, at this time, the captain walked out, and the provincial mirror immediately beckoned:
"What's going on up ahead?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of any maritime operations in Macau recently."
As a captain, he is generally very well-informed about the sea, and he didn't even think about it, so he said:
"Maybe it's a routine inspection, don't worry, Brother Jing, our ship is completely fine."
"Yes!"
Provincial mirror is actually not worried about what can go wrong with this kind of inspection, you know, their boat is Ma Jiaowen, although Ma Jiaowen is not as famous as Macau He's, but the black and white also want to sell him a face, even if there is something above Macau, the Portuguese Group, will talk to him first, instead of directly arresting people.
"The ship in front of you stops and is inspected!"
Soon, through the loudspeaker, a loud voice came.
Listening to the meaning of this, it seems that the captain is right, it is indeed a sea inspection.
There are many such things, and people who beg for a living at sea know it, and it is not unusual.
The captain didn't care, and immediately returned to the cockpit and ordered all four boats to stop at the same time.
As soon as the gambling boat stopped, I saw that from that row of large boats, more than a dozen kayaks drove over at the same time.
Some of them wore Macao police uniforms, some were Hong Kong comprehensive city water police uniforms, and even mixed with customs officers, some in suits and leather shoes, unknown personnel.
"Damn, what the hell happened, Lao Zhang, didn't you get the wind! With such a large formation, it seems that it is not as simple as a routine inspection. Could it be that there has been another hijacking of ships at sea recently? ”
Seeing it in the mirror, he didn't worry, and even gossiped.
The gossip of the provincial mirror is not unreasonable, and the people above generally wait until something happens before they really do things.
Such a big scene is designated as an accident at sea.
No matter what the province thinks, the kayak is approaching quickly, and the first thing everyone climbs on is the boat where the province mirror is.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's the matter? We are Mr. Ma's boat. ”
The captain greeted him with a smile on his face, and his words were polite, but they also implied strength.
Three middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties, two in suits, and one in the uniform of a senior police officer of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City Marine Police, immediately stepped forward.
First, the first middle-aged man took out a piece of paper and showed it in front of the captain:
"I'm from Macau Customs, and we received a report that there are smuggled goods on your ship, and this is a search warrant, and we asked for a search of the cabin."
Then, the second middle-aged man also took out a piece of paper and displayed:
"I am from the Immigration Administration Department of Gangzong City, and we have received reliable information that your boats are suspected of smuggling outsiders to Gangzong City, and who is the captain of the ship, come here for examination."
In the end, the man wearing the senior uniform of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City Marine Police also spoke, and said righteously:
"Our Hong Kong Zong City Marine Police also received a report that there was a murderer hiding on your boat, and everyone on board immediately came to the splint to accept our police investigation."
Hiss...!
After listening to the speeches of these three people, not only the captain was dumbfounded, but also the provincial mirror next to him was dumbfounded, and the gamblers were even more panicked.
The performance of the captain and the provincial mirror is easy to understand, and now Hong Kong and Macao, including the Marine Police, the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department, and the Immigration Department, almost all departments that can manage the sea, say in unison that there is something wrong with their ship, and the inspection of this Nima is clearly "nothing to do", and is coming at them.
As mentioned above, these four gambling boats have not docked for two years, and since they set sail, the materials and fuel needed on board have also been transported by speedboat.
In doing so, I want the gambling boat business to continue forever.
Today, if it weren't for Ma Jiaowen's last explanation, so that the captain had time to dock and overhaul the ship, I am afraid that he would not have sailed back from the high seas.
Now it is unreasonable to say that they are smuggling and smuggling!
After all, gambling on the boat does not stipulate the identity of the guest, and anyone can board the ship as long as they have money.
"Three chiefs, is there any misunderstanding, our ship has not docked for a long time, how can it be suspected of what you said. Also, we are in business, and the officer of the Anti-Smuggling Division of Customs should know very well. ”
The captain hurriedly gave an explanation, and made a special mention of the one in Macau.
He believes that as long as you are a Macao person, you will understand how much there is to gamble, and Macao is a place where gambling is allowed, and there is no illegality.
A gambling boat like theirs, even if a million people are smuggled in, they may not be willing.
You must know that they do business every day, and when they are prosperous, they have a turnover of more than 100 million.
"Whether there is a misunderstanding, we will find out if we check, you don't count. Without further ado, you're the captain of the ship, come here, I have a lot of questions for you. ”
The middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City Marine Police obviously did not intend to give face, and after a sentence, he waved and ordered:
"Check it for me, check everyone and see if there are any wanted criminals."
"Do things, search the warehouse, search well, don't let go of every place, be sure to find out the private goods!"
The person from the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Macao Customs and the Immigration Administration Department of Hong Kong Comprehensive City waved the same hand, and immediately, the Bailai joint law enforcement officers rushed into the cabin with great momentum.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he walked to the side cautiously, and wanted to give Ma Jiaowen a call.
"Bald, what are you doing? Look at what, I just mean you, the phone is down, the ID card! ”
A marine policeman from Hong Kong Comprehensive City was sharp-eyed, he didn't know who the provincial mirror was, and when he saw that he was sneaky, he immediately stopped him.
A new era for Macau.
Located in the southern suburbs of Macau, it is a high-end villa community that has just been built this year, and those who can live here are either business tycoons or people on the road.
As a Macau gambling tycoon, Ma Jiaowen, he also bought a new villa here.
Although in Macau, his real estate is not small, but the latest design in the 90s still makes him feel the most satisfied, the fountain landscape, the good green environment, all make Ma Jiaowen feel comfortable.
Ever since he owned this villa, he has lived here most of the time.
Ma Jiaowen's age is actually not very old, he is only thirty-seven years old this year, but he is naturally old-looking, and he looks much more mature than ordinary people.
To be able to own a few casinos at this age, or to gain a firm foothold in Macau under the pressure of He's and the Portuguese Group, Ma Jiaowen is actually very comfortable in his heart.
As long as he is free, Ma Jiaowen always asks for a cup of tea, sits on the top floor of the villa, overlooks the scenery of the community, and enjoys a rare tranquility.
Today, he is no different.
Unfortunately, the tranquility was interrupted by the servant in less than an hour:
"Mr. Ma, your phone call is from Mr. Sheng."
"Yes!"
Ma Jiaowen was dressed in casual clothes, lying on a chair, wearing sunglasses, and took the phone leisurely, not paying much attention to it.
Xingjing is his cronies, taking care of four gambling boats for him, reporting his work every once in a while, or if there is any gambling game that cannot be decided, he will call him, which is too normal.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Brother Wen, no, our ship was detained by the Hong Kong and Macao Joint Law Enforcement Team."
The voice of the mirror is urgent, and the opening is direct, which is a shocking event.
"What do you mean, what Hong Kong and Macau Joint Enforcement Team?"
Ma Jiaowen was a little confused, because he hadn't heard of the new term that Xingjing said.
"It is the Anti-Smuggling Department of Macao Customs, the Marine Police of Hong Kong Comprehensive City, and the Immigration Department of Hong Kong Comprehensive City. The three of them jointly enforced the law, and for some reason, they stopped our boat as soon as they entered the waters of Macao and demanded a search! ”
"All three of them seem to have come prepared, and they all have search warrants, and the brothers dare not stop them."
The mirror explained carefully, and said:
"Brother Wen, I suspect that someone is trying to fix us."
"Search is search, I took a license to gamble, it's not illegal, why did they detain our boat?"
Ma Jiaowen frowned and asked.
The provincial mirror tone was a little helpless, and then explained:
"The Hong Kong comprehensive city marine police found drugs on the boat, the amount was not large, it may have been brought by a guest, and the marine police saw that they were going to search them, so they were casually placed in the cabin."
"The people from the Immigration Department of Hong Kong Comprehensive City really found a few unidentified guys on the boat. I've seen those guys, they seem to be from Vietnam. Brother Wen, you also know that when we open the door to do business, as long as it is a guest who comes on board with money, we will receive them, and we don't know that they have no identity. ”
"In addition, the immigration department also said that there were witnesses, all of whom were recently caught smugglers, from anywhere. There were Filipinos, Taiguo, and Vietnamese, and they all identified that our boat had smuggled them into the city. ”
"By the way, the Anti-Smuggling Department of Macau Customs also found some alcohol in our kitchen, saying that it was private goods, and we couldn't get the receipts for the goods."
"Later, after the three departments discussed, they used several police boats to force us to dock and did not allow us to communicate with the outside world. Now our boat has been detained at the customs dock, and along with the guests, we have been taken back by the Hong Kong Flood Police. ”
"I was also interrogated for a few hours, and as soon as I was released, I immediately called Brother Wen, Brother Wen, what should I do now?"
After Ma Jiaowen listened to such a report, his heart was shocked, if it was not someone who was calculating him, it was impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Jiaowen commanded:
"You come to my villa first, you don't have to do anything, wait for my news. By the way, you look at the chimney a little bit and let him not mess around. ”
Speaking of the chimney, the tone of the provincial mirror immediately became low, and he whispered:
"Brother Wen, my brother has an accident."
"What's the matter? He's already making a fuss? Also detained? Were there any casualties? ”
Ma Jiaowen knew very well the chimney's brainless and arrogant personality, and immediately guessed.
These words reminded Xingjing of his poor brother, and his voice was full of tears, and he replied:
"He's dead!"
"What?"
Ma Jiaowen was shocked, and the whole person jumped up from the chair, and said incredulously:
"Then what joint law enforcement agencies dare to kill?"
Xingjing hurriedly explained:
"Brother Wen, it wasn't them who did it, my younger brother went to Hong Kong Comprehensive City last night to run errands, and met an old man who put the Heavenly Immortal Bureau. He debunked Lao Qian, and the other party was angry and plotted against him. ”
"Even the people who have communicated to me dare to move, but what about people now? Did you catch it? ”
Ma Jiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't done by Bai Dao.
If it was really Bai Dao who killed someone, then the problem would be big, and this matter would have to be raised to at least a few heights.
"The murderer was caught, but not by us, and was arrested by the police in Gangzong City."
Provincial mirror said honestly.
"The Hong Kong Police?"
Ma Jiaowen pondered for a moment and said firmly:
"Don't worry, the chimney won't die in vain, I'll figure it out."
"Thank you, Brother Wen!"
Xingjing knew that Ma Jiaowen had a lot more energy than himself, and he couldn't say that he could really get the murderer from the police.
"It's all my own brothers, so I don't have to be so polite. Since your brother is dead, then you don't have to worry about the casino for the next two days, and take care of the funeral. The chimney has been with me for so long, and I hope he walks beautifully. When I find out about the gambling boat, I'll go over and have a look. ”
Ma Jiaowen is not a bad person, and after giving this order, he hung up the phone directly without waiting for the mirror to reply.
He was anxious to find out what was going on with the gambling ship and why the customs came forward to detain the ship.
After thinking silently for a while, Ma Jiaowen began to exert his energy, and the phone was dialed continuously.
He first called a number of high-ranking officials he knew in Macao, but the reply he received was that he did not know, and only said that he would help investigate.
Then, he called a business tycoon he knew well, and the other party also said that he would use his connections to ask him clearly.
In the end, Ma Jiaowen went directly to the Macao Customs, a councillor with a very good relationship.
The replies given by the councillor were that the matter was not even very clear within the Customs and Excise Department, and that it was initiated by the Director of the Anti-Smuggling Division, Mr. Ma.
At that time, Director Ma was on board, and I heard that he had joined forces with the law enforcement department of the port comprehensive city to carry out a so-called "joint law enforcement." As for why he did this, the councilor was not clear.
More than a dozen phone calls came down, and Ma Jiaowen was almost certain that someone must have targeted him.
But a gambling figure like himself, enemies are all over the world, who did it, Ma Jiaowen can't think of it.
Just as Ma Jiaowen was pondering who was targeting him, the mobile phone in front of him rang.
Bell......
Ma Jiaowen, who had just made multiple phone calls, thought that someone had replied to him, so he quickly picked it up and said politely:
"Hey, hello, who is it?"
"Ma Sheng, do you remember me, Lei Yaoyang of Hong Kong Comprehensive City."
On the other end of the phone, his voice was very calm, and he reported his name at the beginning.
"Lei Yaoyang?"
Ma Jiaowen was stunned, this name was familiar and unfamiliar to him.
But soon, thinking of who it was, Ma Jiaowen's face turned straight and said tentatively:
"God of Gamblers?"
"There was a fluke, Ma Sheng still remembers."
Lei Yaoyang spoke easily and admitted.
"The supreme glory of the God of Gambling is the achievement that we gambling laymen have been seeking all our lives, how could I not remember."
Ma Jiaowen was polite and asked:
"I don't know if Lei Sheng has any instructions, or instructed me to communicate with horses?"
"Ma Sheng's words are too serious, he is as bold as Ma Sheng, I, Lei Yaoyang, have always admired it very much, how dare I advise, let alone say anything."
Lei Yaoyang's words were stabbed and said flatly.
"Huh?"
Ma Jiaowen is also a human being, and when he heard that Lei Yaoyang's tone was wrong, he immediately said:
"Is there any misunderstanding between Lei Sheng and me?"
On the other end of the phone, Lei Yaoyang's tone became low, and he pointed out:
"I heard that Ma Sheng's business has been very good recently, not only the traditional gambling industry has done well, but also developed a new business, but Ma Sheng's approach, is it a bit excessive? It doesn't make sense to take other people's ideas as your own, right? ”
"Lei Sheng, can you make this clearer?"
Ma Jiaowen's tone became solemn, if he couldn't hear that his gambling boat was detained, most of it was related to Lei Yaoyang, then he didn't have to mess around.
"Hong Kong Comprehensive City Firecracker Fair."
Lei Yaoyang was no longer vague and pointed out the five-character road.
"Flower Cannon Society, what is that, what does Lei Sheng mean by this?"
Ma Jiaowen was confused when he heard it, and asked two questions in a row.
"Ma Sheng's performance is really good, on Ma Sheng's four gambling boats, the public bet on the fireworks will win or lose, full of tricks, countless ways to play, even I am very tempted to listen to it. Such a clever idea, isn't it Ma Sheng who came up with it? ”
"What brilliant idea, what kind of fireworks will bet?"
Ma Jiaowen looked puzzled, and said:
"Lei Sheng, I really don't understand what you said."
"Okay, then I'll make it clearer."
Lei Yaoyang said in a straight tone:
Mr. Ma opened the market on the gambling boat and accepted the bet of the "Flower Cannon Club" in Hong Kong Comprehensive City, and in just one week, the bet has exceeded 100 million. Such a big business, Mr. Ma won't remember it, right? ”
"Huh?"
Ma Jiaowen listened, frowned, and said calmly:
"Where did Mr. Lei get this news from? I have never even heard of what Mr. Lei said. As for the opening bet, it is even more nonsense. ”
"I've always been unfamiliar with it, and in recent years, I haven't developed any new business at all."
"Huh!"
Lei Yaoyang smiled coldly and said:
"Mr. Ma, in addition to being a gambling god, I, Lei Yaoyang, am also a Hong Kong comprehensive city policeman. Being a man and doing things has always been fair, and the most evidence-oriented! ”
"If Mr. Ma hadn't done it, I would never have wronged anyone" Also, I can clearly tell Mr. Ma that there was a problem with your gambling boat, and I did it. I, Lei Yaoyang, was entrusted by others, loyal to people, Mr. Ma does not talk about morality, does not pay attention to the rules of the gambling world, and now he is just being detained and an appetizer. ”
"I'll give Mr. Ma twenty-four hours to find out the ins and outs of this matter, and then give me an explanation."
"If it can be explained and my friend can be satisfied, this matter can be revealed. If Mr. Ma is insincere and has a hard mouth, then it's no wonder that I, Lei Yaoyang, am not guilty. ”
After that, Lei Yaoyang hung up the phone directly.
And what Lei Yaoyang said is also true.
The reason why Ma Jiaowen's boat was detained was the masterpiece of the members who turned over.
The handover club is now full of talents, and Lei Yaoyang immediately found three members after knowing that Ma Jiaowen was stealing business.
They are the Superintendent of the Marine Police of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City, the Director of the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City, and the Director of the Anti-Smuggling Division of the Macao Customs.
The three members worked together and directly gave Ma Jiaowen a powerful blow, and detained all four of his boats.
If Ma Jiaowen didn't give a satisfactory explanation, his four ships would not want to sail to the open sea again.
Lei Yaoyang has a hundred ways to have his boat confiscated by the government, and even to be held accountable.
Besides, Ma Jiaowen finally found the reason why the gambling boat was detained.
To be honest, the so-called "Flower Cannon Club" opened to receive bets, and it was really not made by him.
But Ma Jiaowen also knew that if the dignified gambling god wanted to deal with him, he just came clearly, and there was no need to force him to do anything he hadn't done as an excuse to make trouble.
Ma Jiaowen also immediately thought that someone was afraid that someone had done something behind his back.
The gambling ship has always been taken care of by the provincial mirror, could it be that he colluded with the captain to mess around on the ship?
With this thought, Ma Jiaowen's face was heavy, and he didn't look for anyone on the gambling boat at all, and he now suspected that the younger brother on the gambling boat had a problem.
Picking up the phone, Ma Jiaowen dialed the phone number of a leading Macao community:
"Hey, is it Uncle Ye? I'm handing over papers. ”
"Uncle Ye, I have something to ask you for help."
"Little thing, I want you to make a move, send someone to arrest those employees on my gambling ship, I have something to ask them."
"Originally, it was a family ugliness that should not be publicized, but Uncle Ye and I are our own people, and I don't care about being ugly in front of Uncle Ye, I suspect that they colluded with A's guests' money."
"Okay, then it's troublesome Uncle Ye, I'll send you the information right away."
"OK, I'll wait for your good news."
Ma Jiaowen is very smart, he doesn't trust his own people, but chooses to find outsiders to do things.
Because he knows that outsiders will definitely look at the face of "money" and sell him enough strength, but his own people may not be.
Sure enough, Uncle Ye was efficient enough, and two hours after Ma Jiaowen gave the addresses of many staff, Uncle Ye replied, saying that all the people had been arrested.
Ma Jiaowen was not idle for two hours, and through various inquiries, he figured out what the fireworks would be like.
What made him even more shocked was that he not only inquired about the fireworks club, but also knew that He Tycoon had opened the bet.
The gambling god Lei Yaoyang said that he was entrusted by others, and he should have thought that the only gambling person who could invite him to come forward was Macau He's.
Things were like fog, and they were pushed away little by little by Ma Jiaowen, and he also used Uncle Ye as a microphone to ask all kinds of questions to the arrested staff.
Ma Jiaowen's question was strange, asking them if they had embezzled money from the casino, and then asking them if they had cheated customers, until the end, he pulled the topic back and asked if there was a new handicap for the gambling ship recently, and who ordered it.
The results came out quickly, and there was really a new handicap on the gambling ship, but it was not the fireworks meeting that Lei Yaoyang said.
According to the casino staff, the handicap was opened by the order of the provincial mirror, and it was under the banner of Ma Jiaowen.
