As a well-known old thief in Meihai City, Xing San'er did not disappoint Bai Mo. News came after an hour.
But when Bai Mo heard the news about Xing San'er, he was instantly disappointed with him.
Even Xing San'er only found Yang Bing's online connection, but he didn't know who this loan sharking gang was.
For a mature loan sharking gang system, sufficient sources of funds are a must. Secondly, there must be a group of people with good eyesight. You need to know whether the loan recipient has the ability to repay.
Finally, this gang must have a high level of force, and collecting debts is not a matter of words.
With such a huge system, Xing San'er only knew that Yang Bing's boss was a person named Ma Bi.
This man's original name was Ma Zhenwei. He was once a famous thug in Xiacheng District. Later he started lending money and was ruthless in doing things. If he couldn't get the money, he would force the other party to sell the property. Girls were even more pitiful. His nickname was Ma Lieutenant. Got it.
After the anti-gang operation a few years ago, Ma Zhenwei escaped unscathed and rarely appeared in the world since then.
"Why don't we arrest this kind of person?" Bai Mo asked the most classic question of a rookie police officer.
Lu Yang suddenly felt that he should re-evaluate Bai Mo's ability. He knew with his toes that the police had no evidence, so there was no way to arrest him.
Fortunately, Bai Mo also realized that his question was too stupid and changed the topic directly, "Why should we investigate the loan gang? Will they cause Liu Changyu to kill someone?"
Lu Yang nodded, "I said that Liu Changyu's behavior seems to be under coercion, which is often related to some evil forces. The only evil forces related to Liu Changyu are the lending gang, so we must investigate this gang."
According to the clues provided by Xing Saner, Ma Zhenwei would go to a casino on Xiyuan Road in Xiacheng District almost every day in the afternoon.
People like Xing San'er call it a casino, but it's actually a mahjong parlor. People inside count designated chips and exchange cash after leaving the mahjong parlor, making it difficult to get caught.
"Do you need me to find a few people to go with you?" Bai Mo asked.
Lu Yang shook his head disapprovingly and glanced at the watch on his wrist. "It's noon. Let's eat first. They say Meihai City has a lot of delicious food. You must try it today."
Bai Mo's view of Lu Yang changed again.
Before eating, Lu Yang said that he wanted to try the food in Meihai City. The whole country of China knew that the best food in Meihai City must be seafood and barbecue. Barbecue is usually eaten at night, and seafood at noon.
Sitting in Lu Yang's car, just when Bai Mo thought Lu Yang was going to the most famous tourist spot in Xiacheng District, Lu Yang suddenly turned into a small alley and finally stopped in front of a small shop.
Bai Mo had never been to this shop before. With the last glimmer of hope, Bai Mo followed Lu Yang into the shop.
There is no special cave, no seafood feast, just three good-looking fried instant noodles.
The fried noodles taste pretty good, but there is still a gap between them and the old restaurants that Bai Mo knows.
Bai Mo couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Are the business trip expenses of your Supreme People's Procuratorate so low?
As a painter and an artist, Bai Mo has very high requirements for the quality of life. After all, any painting by Bai Mo can sell for tens of thousands.
"This was recommended by a friend of mine in your procuratorate." Lu Yang seemed to see Bai Mo's thoughts, "Everyone is working for the country and should not be extravagant and wasteful, don't you think?"
If Meng Xiu hadn't smiled bitterly, Bai Mo would have believed Lu Yang's statement.
Due to the face issue of comrade from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Bai Mo could only nod in agreement.
Being serious, self-disciplined and responsible for his work, Bai Mo labeled Lu Yang a new label - stingy.
······
After eating, Bai Mo received a message from Yang Lu.
When the teachers at the school heard that Yang Lu had received an offer from the Van Klee Academy of Fine Arts, they gave him the green light. The department leaders even applied for a scholarship for Yang Lu.
The procedure that I thought would take a day or two was completed in just one morning.
Yang Lu, who was free, naturally wanted to find Bai Mo. When he heard that Bai Mo was assisting in the investigation of the case, he could only send an aggrieved expression.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Mo and the other three arrived at the Changsheng Mahjong Hall on Xiyuan Road.
The mahjong hall was filled with smoke, and the thick smell of smoke made Bai Mo feel uncomfortable. He glanced at the baby-faced Meng Xiu, but there was nothing unusual about the latter.
It seemed that these two people frequently visited similar places.
Cao Fei was already waiting inside. When he saw Bai Mo and the others, he did not go up to them, but pointed to the mobile phone in his hand.
Bai Mo took out his cell phone and took a look. Cao Fei sent a WeChat message saying that Ma Zhenwei had just arrived and entered private room 301 on the third floor.
"He's in 301." Bai Mo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat bald man walked towards Bai Mo and the others. He could tell at a glance that Lu Yang was the leader of the three.
Looking across the scar on Lu Yang's forehead, the fat bald man smiled and said, "Brother, are you new here?"
Lu Yang nodded, deliberately speaking with a Kyoto accent, "I heard from a buddy that there are private rooms upstairs?"
The fat bald man recognized the Kyoto accent, and his smile became even stronger, "It's upstairs, 207 on the third floor."
"I don't want the second floor." Lu Yang said with a straight face, "I want the third floor. The number two doesn't suit me."
Many gamblers pay attention to Feng Shui metaphysics. Lu Yang said it more like he was here to gamble.
"The third floor is the private room for old customers..." the bald man explained.
Before the bald man could finish speaking, Lu Yang showed an impatient expression, "Then come back next time."
Seeing that Lu Yang was about to leave, the bald man immediately backed down and arranged for his men to prepare room 307 for Lu Yang.
Nowadays, casinos like this do not rely on commissions to make money. If the police come, everyone will take the stolen goods.
The boss relies on organizing the game. Once the other party becomes a regular customer, he will definitely come often. If there are not four people when he comes, the boss will need to organize the game.
Nine out of ten gambles and cheats. Once the game is successfully organized, some people will become fat sheep. At that time, they will not only lose their own money, but also loan sharks will enter the game, which will definitely make the fat sheep bankrupt.
Although Lu Yang's destination has not yet been determined, the bald man could sense that he had an extraordinary background, so he arranged room 307 for him.
Seeing that there were only three of Lu Yang, the bald man asked, "Do I need to organize a game for you?"
"No, a friend will be here shortly." Lu Yang still had a condescending attitude, and ignored the bald man, leading Bai Mo and Meng Xiu upstairs.
Only then did the bald man notice Bai Mo and Meng Xiu. Although Meng Xiu was very beautiful, the bald man could tell that the little girl was not simple.
The two comrades of the Supreme People's Procuratorate have experienced many life and death situations and have dealt with all kinds of religions, so naturally they will not be noticed by others.
It's just that our great painter Bai Mo gradually attracted the bald man's attention, especially Bai Mo's white hands, with long fingers without any calluses. It didn't look like he often touched cards or picked up guys.
"This combination is a bit strange!" the bald man murmured, staring at the backs of the three of them.
