Chapter 34: Boxing Matches

This is a boxing match without suspense, everyone thought that the champion of the previous edition would win, but the next scene surprised everyone. The champion was knocked to the ground by a punch from his opponent and died instantly.

The police investigated that the champion was called Li Haoming, and his opponent was Liu Zhaoting. The two have fought twice, but Li Haoming was unilaterally crushed, but in this third fight, Li Haoming was killed on the spot.

The tournament manager also found that five hours before the start of the game, the odds for Lee Haoming to win plummeted from 1-2 to 5-1. The police suspect that the game was manipulated in the shadows, and Li Haoming's death may not be an accident.

The police collected a bunch of cotton swabs in the rest area of the ring, and Lao Ji found Liu Zhaoting's boxing gloves used in the game in the locker room, and there were two drops of mercury above the cabinet.

The police arranged for Liu Zhaoting to check, and Liu Zhaoting said: At that time, when the match reached the seventh round, Li Haoming could not stand steadily, but he still decided to play.

Liu Zhaoting beat Li Haoming with a combination of punches, and at this time Liu Zhaoting could already be sentenced to win, but the referee did not blow the whistle for a long time. As a professional fighter, you have to deliver this final punch.

After the game, police officers examined Liu Zhaoting's arm and cut off his hand-wrapped gauze, and Sister Xi found that there was also mercury residue on the gauze.

The forensic doctor conducted an autopsy, and he found that Li Haoming had tranquilizers in his body, and this time Li Haoming's reaction speed is now, it seems that the game was indeed manipulated in the dark.

The results of Liu Zhaoting's examination came out, and he had mercury in his body. Amy's investigation of Liu Zhaoting's case revealed that he was consuming mercury to treat stomach problems, which is a folk remedy in Liu Zhaoting's hometown.

The police checked Liu Zhaoting's boxing gloves and found only some sweat on them, but on the cotton swabs collected in Li Haoming's rest area, a sedative was checked.

Lao Ji guessed that Li Haoming's tranquilizers were inhaled at halftime, and these drugs were kept by Coach Li Haoming.

The coach vouches for his personality that he has never played a trick in his 28 years in the industry, and he treats Li Haoming like his own son and will never hurt him like this.

But the police still used the search warrant to exchange the coach's medical kit. Sister Xi found that one of the bottles of coagulant was mixed with tranquilizers, but the fingerprints on the bottle belonged to Li Haoming's agent.

It seems that the coach really didn't know, and in the face of the evidence, the agent admitted that he secretly changed the medicine.

The agent and the referee planned this black-box operation together, and there are rules in the boxing match, and the agent and the referee are not allowed to bet.

So the agent asked his cousin to put a lot of money on Liu Zhaoting. In order to ensure Liu Zhaoting's victory, the referee was not willing to blow the whistle until Li Haoming was knocked down and couldn't stand up at all.

But I don't know who leaked the news before the game, which caused the odds to plummet, and now he doesn't make much money, and the cash cow has been killed again, which is really empty.

The agent also said that he just wanted Li Haoming to lose, but he didn't expect him to die like this. With Li Haoming's physical fitness, he should not have been beaten to death by Liu Zhaoting.

In addition, the forensic examination found that Li Haoming's death was really not so simple, his cheekbones and humerus were broken, his whole face was sunken, and it was impossible for ordinary boxing gloves to cause such great strength.

At this time, police officer Xiao He brought a new clue, Liu Zhaoting's gloves did not have Li Haoming's dander at all, which showed that Liu Zhaoting did not use this glove to play the game.

The police prying open Liu Zhaoting's wardrobe and found an almost brand new pair of gloves inside, with three tiny round pieces of leather next to them, which are of the same material as the gloves.

Old Ji found mercury again under the floor, and Amy found that the diameter of the round leather matched that of a fourteen-caliber syringe. Lao Ji guessed that Liu Zhaoting injected mercury into boxing gloves to increase the weight of the boxing gloves to increase the lethality.

Mercury is 13 times denser than water, and for every 200 milliliters of mercury injected into the gloves, the gloves will weigh five pounds. In order to test the conjecture, police officer Ah Keong put on mercury gloves and conducted a strength test.

The results showed that the lethality of mercury gloves was directly off the charts. Liu Zhaoting was taken to the interrogation room, and now all the evidence has been explained, and Li Haoming's death was not an accident, but a murder.

Liu Zhaoting injected mercury into his gloves at the end of the race, and with each punch he struck, the mercury was squeezed out a little, which is why there was mercury in the hand wrap.

As for the mercury residue in Liu Zhaoting's own body, it is because mercury is extremely volatile, and he accidentally inhaled it during the competition, and it is not the so-called edible mercury to cure the disease.

In the face of the evidence, Liu Zhaoting admitted everything, he was defeated twice by Li Haoming in the ring, which made him feel humiliated, in order to defeat Li Haoming, he injected mercury into the gloves, so as to increase the lethality, as a way to get rid of the shame.

In my opinion, this is no longer a game, but a Hongmen banquet against Li Haoming. The agent betrayed Li Haoming and secretly drugged, the referee did not save him for the sake of profit, and Liu Zhaoting was ruthless for the sake of shame.

The so-called fair and just game, the moment Li Haoming stepped into the ring, he had become a plaything of capital and a tool for revenge...
