Chapter 1034 - Outside Betting Shops
"Jockey Club embezzlement!"
Hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Lu Zhilian looked at the two of them in surprise.
"In fact, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has received various reports of corruption in the Jockey Club for a long time, but we have not found tangible evidence, so I didn't expect you to take over the case first."
When Lu Zhilian heard Zhou Xingxing mention the Jockey Club, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is really a coincidence.
"Hehe, it's not that you haven't found tangible evidence, but you're afraid that the horse club will be too big, so you don't dare to investigate."
Liu Baoqiang, who was on the side, was dismissive of Lu Zhilian's excuse.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has never said that it requires tangible evidence to arrest people, on the contrary, as long as they think that the person may be involved in corruption, even if there is no evidence, it is the norm to take people back for questioning.
There are reasons for this, but the most fundamental reason is that there is no evidence, so they cannot be investigated."
A few people had just suffered from life and death, and Lu Zhilian was embarrassed to tell some high-sounding lies, so he just nodded in embarrassment.
An open-air food stall in Yuen Long.
Liu Baoqiang and An Ying pretended to be a couple and walked into a beer house.
For some people who like to enjoy the nightlife, the nightlife at 9 p.m. is just beginning.
There are several screens hanging on the walls of the beer hall showing football matches from across the Pacific.
"The bright light is strong, I haven't seen you for a long time, doesn't it mean that you have changed your ways, I heard that your mutual aid association has restrictions on borrowers, and you can't enter and exit some special consumption places."
The waiter at the beer hall actually knew Liu Baoqiang.
On the surface, it is a beer hall that sells late-night snacks, and it is also an outside betting shop in Yuen Long.
The reason why Liu Baoqiang knows about this place is naturally because he has come here to consume before.
This is also the reason why he took the initiative to stand up when he learned that Zhou Xingxing was looking for a guy called Silly Biao, because as far as he knew, the person in charge behind this peripheral betting shop was called Silly Biao.
"Damn, what, don't you make money if you have money, it's great that you go to the mutual aid association to sue me!"
Liu Baoqiang pulled An Ying and asked the other party to follow him, and then he pushed the waiter away and stepped into the beer house.
The beer house is quite big, at this time because the time is still early, there are not many people sitting in the sparse lala, everyone in the room has a few glasses of beer on the table plus some melons and fruits or cold dishes, at first glance, it is no different from an ordinary beer house.
Liu Baoqiang pulled An Ying with one hand, did not stop in the hall, but walked directly to the room where he was blocked.
When the waiter heard Liu Baoqiang's words, he stood there and was stunned for a moment, and he was not embarrassed to stop the other party.
But soon he came back to his senses, and seeing that Liu Baoqiang was about to go inside, he shouted over there.
"Boss, there's a strip here!"
That's right, he suddenly remembered that in addition to being a bad gambler, Ming Dengqiang is also a policeman.
Whoa—
Bang Bang Bang –
Hearing the waiter's shout, there was no one in the room inside, but there was a series of noises, the sound of cups falling to the ground, and the sound of tables and chairs being pushed over.
"What are you running, it's your acquaintance Brother Qiang!"
Liu Baoqiang heard the movement inside, and simply didn't rush in, but stood outside and shouted, he knew how radical these guys who were doing the periphery were, and they were single-handed, in case someone was ambushed at the door, it was really possible to capsize in the gutter at that time.
However, Liu Baoqiang thought badly, although there were many people inside, but after hearing the waiter's shouting, he hurriedly packed up the things on the table one by one, where could he still take care of the ambush.
After all, the waiters didn't say a few things, judging from their rich experience in being swept up, every time the strips have always been very enthusiastic about cleaning gambling stalls, and the number of people dispatched will not be small.
In addition, gambling is not a big crime on Hong Kong Island, so the resistance encountered in ordinary times is not too fierce.
Not to mention betting shops like this, because you buy the periphery of the ball game, it will be more difficult to get a certificate.
So the people inside are not ready to resist at this time, and the reason why they are in a hurry is that they are worried that all the gambling funds will be confiscated, so they are trying to find a way to deal with it.
Bang Dong –
At the same time as the chaos, the sound of the iron door opening and closing sounded, obviously someone was preparing to escape from the back door, but Liu Baoqiang did not look in any hurry about this.
"Don't move, ICAC!"
Then a voice came from behind.
Liu Baoqiang is a regular customer here, so he naturally knows that the betting shop has a back door, and he deliberately came in from the main entrance, the real purpose is to startle the snake.
"Damn, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I'm scared to death, what are you doing here, the backlash is coming to me, it's really funny!"
Hearing Lu Zhilian's self-reported identity, a loud voice immediately sounded inside.
"It's a stupid mark!"
When Liu Baoqiang heard the other party's words, he immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hey, hey, Minglan is strong, what do you mean by this, when did you jump to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lao Lian even accepts people like you, could it be that they are ready to expand the gambling business?"
When Silly Biao saw Liu Baoqiang, not only was he not afraid, but immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ming Dengqiang, tell me yourself, you owed me hundreds of thousands of dollars at the beginning, but I didn't urge you to pay it back once, what do you mean by coming to me now?"
I don't know if it's because the dealer has a natural advantage over gamblers, and when the stupid standard faces Liu Baoqiang, he is more comfortable than facing the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The power of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is naturally not low, but the fundamental right is to investigate bribery, insider trading and money laundering, and none of these rights are related to betting shops.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some betting shops are involved in money laundering business, but in fact, most betting shops are really very formal.
Because the business of betting alone is enough for them to make a lot of money.
This can be known by reference to the Jockey Club.
Silly Biao has been running the betting shop business for many years, and he has a large number of regular customers in his hands, so there is no need to participate in money laundering at all.
Therefore, he really has the confidence not to be afraid of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"Haven't I paid you back?"
Liu Baoqiang was exposed by a stupid standard, but he didn't care too much.
His affairs are clear to the entire police force, and Lu Zhilian and others can inquire at any time as long as they have a heart, so he doesn't care about being known by them.
"I'm here this time because I have something to look for you, if you cooperate, then everything is easy to say, if you don't cooperate, I believe that with the cooperation of the police force and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, you can weigh whether you can bear it yourself."
Liu Baoqiang waved his hand and directly drove out all the stupid target's subordinates.
Then he took a ledger that was placed on the table, and looked at the stupid mark as he flipped through it.
"You're going to eat me, it's impossible for me to refuse, let's say, there's something I can do to help."
Although the stupid label has a stupid word in his nickname, he is actually not stupid.
Hearing that Liu Baoqiang had said everything to this point, he naturally knew that he had no possibility of refusing.
Although theoretically, whether it is the Independent Commission Against Corruption or the serious crime team where Liu Baoqiang is located, it seems that he can't control him.
But this is only theoretical, the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the police force really want to target a guy who is a periphery, as Liu Baoqiang said, the stupid standard will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Do you recognize this person?"
Zhou Xingxing, who came in from behind, heard that Silly Biao took the initiative to soften, so he took out a photo of Deng Zhaohong's death that he took at the scene, and then showed it to Silly Biao.
"I want to say I don't know, but unfortunately you won't believe it."
Silly Biao saw the tragic situation of Deng Zhaohong's death, and his face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"I grew up in the same estate as him, and then he went to England to study, and a few years ago he suddenly returned to Hong Kong Island, and entered the Jockey Club, I thought this guy was developed, how did I know that this kind of thing would happen."
When Silly Biao said these words, there was really a bit of emotion on his face.
However, Lu Zhilian directly interrupted the other party's words.
"Don't tell me you don't know what he did, let's get to the point, why was he killed?"
Lu Zhilian may not be good at other things, but he is an expert-level figure when it comes to corruption, bribery and insider trading.
He just made up what the two of them could do from the careers of Silly Biao and Deng Zhaohong.
"I really don't know this, the only thing I know is that he received black money from others, so he deliberately helped others blow the black whistle when he was at work, I suspect that he was killed, it must be related to this incident."
Silly wanted not to answer, but now that he was surrounded by four men and one woman, he knew that if he didn't say a little dry goods, he would definitely not be able to get out, so he didn't hesitate for too long, and said what he knew.
"Since you know so well, will you also take a ride and make a profit?"
Zhou Xingxing heard the stupid mark that Deng Zhaohong blew the black whistle, and he immediately corresponded with the clues he investigated, and this year's Jockey Club lost billions on the periphery, which is also big news on Hong Kong Island.
Since he was investigating the Jockey Club's case, it was naturally impossible not to know.
"This is really not, our industry, as a banker, the most taboo is to play with gamblers, because gamblers can never win the dealer."
Hearing Zhou Xingxing's question, the stupid mark shook his head in denial with a serious face.
"I can't see it, you still have a lot of work ethic, but I think it's not that you don't want to follow, but you don't have the courage to follow."
When Lu Zhilian heard the words of stupid biaoyizheng, he immediately exposed the details of the other party without hesitation.
For example, this kind of person who deliberately buys the referee to blow the black whistle is itself to cause an upset, and if it is a casual customer who gambles on luck, it is better to say that the big dealer will not care.
But if half of the industry insiders like Silly Label follow them to place bets, then someone will definitely be suspected of leaking secrets.
Forces like them who can have the courage to manipulate the ball game or cut the flesh directly from the Jockey Club, if they find out that they have internal ghosts, then Deng Zhaohong's fate will be the fate of internal ghosts.
The reason why the stupid standard does not follow the bet is that professional ethics is one thing, and the fear of his life being threatened is the main reason.
"Your betting shop, it doesn't look like you can eat a large amount of bets, and you generally encounter a large amount of betting funds, how do you operate?"
has come here, and happened to encounter a case that the Independent Commission Against Corruption can handle, it seems that the scale of the case is definitely the largest on Hong Kong Island, and Lu Zhilian is naturally unwilling to let it go easily.
Hong Kong Island's largest peripheral bookmaker, the legal is naturally the Jockey Club.
But in the hundreds of billions of handicaps, in addition to the Jockey Club, there will definitely be other less formal existences.
Lu Zhilian can't afford to mess with the Jockey Club, but he still has a lot of courage to crack down on other illegal handicaps.
Especially those handicap gambling peripherals are illegal, so it's not too normal to launder money, or insider trading or even bribery or something.
Lu Zhilian is interested in these, and generally investigating and dealing with such a case can definitely involve a bunch of nest cases.
"I can't talk nonsense about this, I won't be able to get along in the road in the future."
Silly Biao heard Lu Zhilian's question, and immediately hesitated.
"What you said about peripherals and gambling, I may know a little clue."
Just when a few people were discussing how to find out about the Jockey Club from the outside betting spots, An Ying, who came out of the safe house and kept her head down as a quail, suddenly interjected timidly.
Everyone present immediately looked at An Ying in surprise.
"I went to a drinking party with that person before, and I met a woman, and when that person and I were showing off, they said that the other party was the biggest dealer on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island,"
An Ying said that the person in her mouth was naturally Hu Zhiyong.
After experiencing a series of changes, An Ying has completely seen Hu Zhiyong's true face.
At this time, when she heard the information she knew, she immediately took the initiative to tell Lu Zhilian and others.
"This person's name is Liu Li, and she also has a godfather, who seems to be the owner of an investment company, named Shen Huashan."
An Ying said as she looked at the stupid mark.
Lu Zhilian and the others also looked at the stupid mark.
And when Silly Biao heard An Ying say a woman, he always had a disapproving look on his face.
But then when he heard An Ying say Shen Huashan's name, he couldn't help but change his face.
"Is she right or wrong?"
Zhou Xingxing is the least aware of An Ying among everyone, so he has a certain skepticism about An Ying's statement.
"It's not what I said, it's just that I can't usually take a large amount of bets, and it will indeed be transferred out, as for who the person who takes over, I don't know, but I know that everyone calls that person Mr. Hua."
Silly Biao looked at An Ying in surprise.
He really didn't know the true identity of the person behind the scenes.
After all, for someone like them to be a peripheral, a large bet is not legal in itself.
Generally, transactions rely on the guarantee of intermediaries, and they do not meet each other.
But now that he knows the identities of the people behind the scenes, if it weren't for the fact that these people were policemen, Silly Biao would have the confidence to take his career to the next level.
But now it's a pity, I can only pray at this time, these people who are good and old and honest have a big goal, they will let him go. (End of chapter)
