Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 342 I'm all in, you guys can do whatever you want!

2 p.m.

Luo Rui pushed open the glass door of the convenience store, and there was a wind chime installed on the door.

The sound of wind chimes rang above my head.

The burly man who was originally sitting behind the counter immediately turned around, and after seeing the appearance of Luo Rui and Su Mingyuan, a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Luo Rui spoke before he could say anything: "Boss, give me twenty packs of Chinese pistachios!"

"Twenty?" The sturdy man was surprised.

"How not?"

"Go away, there's not that much, go somewhere else."

Su Mingyuan frowned: "Hey, how do you talk like that? It's okay if you don't do business, but there's no need to curse, right?"

"What's wrong with scolding you?" The burly man stood up from behind the counter.

Luo Rui blocked Su Mingyuan behind him and smiled: "Brother, don't be angry, I really came here to buy cigarettes to give to others. If you don't have so many, you can give me ten."

As he spoke, he took out his wallet, took out a wad of money and placed it on the glass counter.

The sturdy man was tempted when he saw several thousand dollars in front of him. At first he thought these people were here to cause trouble.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you from the warehouse." The sturdy man replied, then turned and shouted to the inner room, "Skinny monkey, come out quickly and help me watch the store. I'll go in and get the goods."

There was a curtain hanging in the inner room, and a thin, short man came out yawning.

The sturdy man glanced at Luo Rui and said, "Wait a minute!"

After he went in, Luo Rui took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the skinny guy who walked behind the counter.

"Brother, would you like one?"

The skinny monkey sniffed, smiled and nodded, waiting for Luo Rui to help him light the fire. He took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring from his mouth, and began to look at Luo Rui and the other man carefully.

"Brother, I just heard you say in there, you want 20 pieces of Huazi? To give them to someone?"

"Yes, that's right." Luo Rui agreed with a smile.

"You look young and well dressed. Is your family in business?"

"Oh, brother, you have a very good eye."

"That's right!" The skinny monkey smiled proudly.

Luo Rui frowned and sighed, "My family is a contractor. We have been working for half a year, but there is no money from above and the workers have not been paid. We can only buy some good cigarettes and beg people to see when the project funds can be allocated."

Hearing this, the skinny monkey looked at him meaningfully: "Lack of money?"

"Not enough!" Luo Rui nodded. "Too much. If the project funds cannot be paid, hundreds of people will have no money to work for. If there is a commotion, it will be disastrous."

"Why not give it a try!" The skinny monkey replied with experience: "As long as you have the capital, it's easy to turn things around."

"Oh?" Luo Rui quickly handed the Zhonghua cigarette in his hand to the other party: "Brother, do you have a way?"

The skinny monkey glanced into the inner room and said, "Yes! It depends on whether you have the capital."

"We still have 500,000 or 600,000 yuan in capital, but it's all for emergency use. This amount of money is still a long way from paying the workers' wages, not to mention the cement and steel bar fees paid to upstream manufacturers. Oh, my head hurts just thinking about this."

The skinny monkey simply ignored the rest of the words and only heard the words "five or six hundred thousand".

He pondered for a long time, then knocked on the inner room again. Seeing that the strong man had not come out yet, he said, "Brother, how about I give you a way to make money?"

"Ah?" Luo Rui's face lit up: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, but if you make any money, you have to give me 10% of it."

"No problem!" Luo Rui slapped the counter and said, "Don't say 10%. If you really make money, I'll give you 20%."

The skinny monkey whispered, "Okay, wait for me outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man came out from the inner room with ten cigarettes in his hand.

"Skinny Monkey, what are you talking about with him?"

"Brother Xiaojun, let's just have a simple chat." The skinny monkey smiled and stepped aside.

The sturdy man walked up to the counter and put the cigarettes on the counter: "It's all here."

After saying that, the man picked up the cash on the counter and counted it: "Two hundred is still missing."

Su Mingyuan quickly took out two hundred yuan in cash from his pocket and put it on the counter.

Luo Rui opened a carton of cigarettes, took out a box, tore open the plastic wrap, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

The sturdy man rolled his eyes and said viciously: "What are you doing? They are all real. I never sell fake cigarettes."

Luo Rui ignored him, took out a lighter, lit it, took a puff, and then coughed twice.

Damn, that's fake!

"Really, it tastes pretty good." Luo Rui smiled, put the cigarettes in a plastic bag, and nodded to the skinny monkey.

As soon as the two men went out, Lin Chen and Fang Yonghui, who were sitting in the car, wanted to get out. Luo Rui made a gesture to them and walked to the corner of the street.

Not long after, the skinny monkey came out leisurely.

"Brother, let me tell you something first, do you have cash?" the skinny monkey asked while looking towards the store.

"Of course not, they are all in the card." Luo Rui told the truth.

The skinny monkey pondered for a while and said, "Okay, come with me. We agreed before that you would give me 10% of the profits."

"No, brother, you have to tell me first, how do you make money?"

"Come on, you're so big and strong, over 1.8 meters tall, how dare I lie to you!"

The skinny guy led the way, letting Luo Rui and Su Mingyuan follow.

Needless to say, what Chu Yang and his team found was completely invalid.

There is no casino in this store.

They turned into an alley at the corner of the street, walked for about ten minutes, then turned into another alley and walked into the urban village.

The terrain here is very complicated, with countless alleys crisscrossing each other. If you are not careful, you will lose your sense of direction in a blink of an eye.

Su Mingyuan walked at the end, looking back from time to time. Lin Chen, Fang Yonghui, Yang Bo and Chu Yang all followed.

Lin Chen also held Chu Yang's arm, pretending to be a couple.

Yang Bo was very smart. He got a bicycle from somewhere and rode it slowly in the alley.

Luo Rui paid no attention to what was behind him and continued chatting with the skinny guy.

"No, brother, how do you make money? You've taken us on a tangled journey, where are we going?"

The skinny monkey seemed nonchalant: "Don't worry, you'll find out when you get there, I guarantee you'll make money."

As he was talking, the skinny monkey turned into an alley. One side of the alley was lined with red brick walls, and on the right side were residential houses, which were small buildings built by the locals.

There were few people in the alley and it was very quiet.

When they came to a door of a walled building, the skinny monkey stopped and said, "We're here. Let's go inside."

Luo Rui took a step back and said, "Brother, if you don't explain clearly, we will leave. We are suddenly in an unfamiliar place and I am scared."

"Look at you, you are so tall, but why are you so timid?" The skinny monkey sneered: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, have you ever played cards?"

"I have played before..." At this point, Luo Rui opened his eyes wide: "Bet..."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

The skinny monkey made a gesture to silence the others: "You guys go in and take a look first. The games here are very big. Some people can win hundreds of thousands overnight. I also saw a businessman like you who was bankrupt at first, but who knew that he won millions in just two nights.

Millions! Isn't that enough for you to pay your workers' wages?"

Luo Rui swallowed his saliva and said, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes." The skinny monkey replied.

"But brother, I don't have much money on me."

"It's okay. I'll take you inside to have a look." The skinny monkey patted his shoulder and said, "If you really want to gamble, you can try your luck with a few thousand bucks, right?"

At this time, Su Mingyuan very cleverly pulled Luo Rui's arm and said, "Brother, let's forget it, shall we?"

Su Mingyuan is several years older than Luo Rui. The reason why he calls him brother is, of course, because Luo Rui has a dark complexion and looks more mature.

"Let's go in and take a look. We'll take a look and then leave!" Luo Rui said.

"Okay then." A hint of cunning flashed in the skinny monkey's eyes.

Then he walked to the door and knocked on the iron gate hard.

At this moment, Su Mingyuan and Luo Rui were looking around this place.

The wall is nearly three meters high, and barbed wire and glass shards are installed on the top of the wall.

The double iron doors were covered with red rust and were very thick. Besides that, one could hear the barking of wolfhounds in the yard.

It may not be that easy to attack this place quickly.

Su Mingyuan glanced towards the corner of the alley and saw four heads stacked on top of each other.

At the bottom is Lin Chen, followed by Yang Bo, then Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui.

Su Mingyuan gave the four people the middle finger with some evil taste.

In response, he was shown four middle fingers.

"Who the hell is knocking on the door?"

"Wang, wang!"

At this time, vigilant voices of questioning were heard from inside the door, accompanied by the barking of wolfhounds.

The skinny monkey quickly yelled, "Brother Dazhuang, it's me, the skinny monkey!"

"You are so stupid! Didn't Sister Meng tell you to stay outside and watch the street? Why are you running here?"

"Pig... I have guests!" The skinny monkey quickly changed his words and shouted in a flattering manner: "Open the door, I'm here with guests."

With a loud noise, the double iron doors were pulled open, and a burly man in a green cotton coat glanced at Luo Rui and Su Mingyuan.

The man had a buzz cut, a scar on his left eye, a cigarette in his mouth, and a fierce look in his eyes.

"Come in!"

He stepped aside, and after Luo Rui and the others entered, he immediately closed the door and placed a horizontal bar in the groove behind the door.

Then, the skinny guy was pulled aside by this man, and the two of them were whispering to each other while looking at Luo Rui.

Soon, the skinny monkey came to Luo Rui with a relaxed look on his face: "Come on, I'll take you in. But let me make it clear first, watch more and ask less. If you want to play a few games, you have to tell me first. If you don't want to play..."

"What if we don't play?" Luo Rui asked, looking a little timid.

"If you don't want to play, of course you don't play. What else can I do?" The skinny monkey laughed and said, "Come on, I'll show you what it means to make big money!" The skinny monkey took the lead and walked into the inner room.

Walk through the living room to the stairwell leading to the second floor.

There is another iron door in the stairwell, and there is a small window on it.

The skinny monkey knocked on the door as usual, and then the small window was opened.

A chubby white face that looked like Zheng Zeshi blinked while chewing his cheeks.

"What are you doing, Fatty? Open the door."

"No, did Brother Dazhuang allow you to come in?"

"Damn it!" Skinny Monkey cursed, "If Da Zhuang doesn't agree, how can I get through his door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the small iron door opened, revealing a platform of three square meters, and then a downward passage.

The fat man was the gatekeeper. Next to him was a chair with a box of fast food on it. In the box was a half-eaten duck leg.

After the skinny monkey came in, he picked up a duck leg from the fast food, put it in his mouth and tore off a piece of meat.

"Fatty, Sister Meng gave you bonuses again. Is the food so good?"

"Get lost!" the fat man cursed, "You stole my duck leg."

"Just go away." The skinny monkey said with a smile.

A light bulb hung above the passage, illuminating a dozen steps.

After Luo Rui and the other man followed the skinny monkey downstairs, they didn't expect that there was another door here, but it was a glass door. From behind the door came a harsh noise, as well as the cursing and shouting of men and women.

"Come in." The skinny man pushed open the glass door. As soon as Luo Rui went in, he felt a little dizzy.

There are more than twenty tables in the venue of nearly 500 square meters. At least a hundred people are gathered around these tables, and there are chips in front of them.

Some were shouting wildly, some were sighing hysterically, and some were gritting their teeth and stamping their feet.

There are not only well-dressed men here, but also women wearing mink furs.

Some people were betting on blackjack, some were playing dice, some were playing poker, and some were betting on San Gong.

There was not a single piece of cash on the table, but the chips were all money. Su Mingyuan's eyes turned red when he saw a mountain of chips piled in front of a rich woman.

It's not his fault that he has little knowledge. He is jealous because he sees the credit that is within his reach, not because of other people's money.

He smacked his lips and said, "That woman must have won at least a few hundred thousand, right?"

"Bullshit! That's over one million, brother." The skinny monkey put his hands in his pockets with a smug look on his face.

In his eyes, Su Mingyuan's performance showed that he had little experience and had never seen big money.

Luo Rui looked around and found that in addition to hundreds of gamblers, there were also many waiters. All the men were dressed in suits and the women were all in short skirts and black stockings.

In addition, there were a few big men sitting in the corner, staring at the scene without blinking.

There are surveillance cameras installed in the four corners of the ceiling, and the floor is covered with red carpet. The scale of the casino is no different from that of a casino in the Special Administrative Region.

Luo Rui was also surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a place in Linjiang City.

This Dong Meng is really not a simple person. Look at the scale and those thugs sitting in the corner. Dong Meng is like the underground empress of this city.

While Luo Rui and Su Mingyuan were surprised, the skinny monkey waved to a sexy woman in revealing clothes and said, "Have a treat."

"Okay." The woman responded and looked at Luo Rui charmingly: "Brother, do you want to play a few games?"

"Just play a few games!" Luo Rui's face darkened immediately: "How about you take us around first? If you find someone suitable, I'll consider it."

"Okay, come with me and I'll show you how to play." The waitress twisted her hips and led the way.

The skinny monkey waved to Luo Rui: "Brother, if you want to exchange chips, come to me at the counter."

"Okay!" Luo Rui nodded to him friendly.

The waitress walked over to the poker table and said, "This is very simple. You know how to play poker, right?"

Luo Rui shook his head and glanced at a stainless steel door at the back of the venue. There was also a small window on the door, but you couldn't see inside. There was also a sign on the door that read "No entry for unauthorized persons".

"You don't know how to do this. It's very simple. If you have three identical cards, then that's the biggest. AAA is the biggest, followed by KKK..."

While listening, Luo Rui carefully looked around.

Su Mingyuan was also observing the thugs in the field vigilantly, estimating how many he could beat by himself. If he could beat ten, would it prove that he was more powerful than the team leader?

Ten won’t be enough. Damn, these guys are all big and strong, and maybe they have guns. Being able to deal with two is the limit.

While he was still distracted, the waitress had already taken them to several tables, her expression becoming more and more impatient.

She complained in her heart, this skinny guy brought two poor guys with him, there is no money to be made from him, and he made me twist my hips so much that my buttocks hurt.

As he spoke, a greasy middle-aged man patted her on the buttocks and said, "Pretty girl, give me some more chips, a hundred thousand!
"Okay, boss, make a fortune!" The waitress smiled and took the card handed over by the boss, ready to run to the counter.

Luo Rui immediately called her, "Um... give me some chips too."

Ouch, the fish is hooked? The waitress covered her mouth and smiled: "Boss, how much do you want to change?"

Luo Rui took out ten crumpled bills from his pocket: "That's all? Is that ok?"

There was a flash of disdain in the waitress's eyes, but the smile was still on her face: "Okay, I'll change it for you right away."

After taking the money, she came to the counter and yelled at the skinny guy who was drinking soda in front of the counter: "Who did you bring? It's just 1,000 yuan, and our commission is not enough for midnight snack."

Skinny Monkey spoke for the people he brought with him: "Don't underestimate this thousand. What if one person wins?"

"You won nothing! A thousand dollars is gone in one hand!"

The skinny monkey touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Seeing Luo Rui coming over, he hurriedly whispered, "Hey, buddy, one thousand yuan is really too little. It's all gone once we get on the table. It's not even enough for you to play two rounds.

If you want to play, play big. Let me tell you, if you win 50,000 yuan, you can take any woman in the casino. If you win 100,000 yuan, you can take two. If you win 200,000 yuan, our most beautiful croupier lady can do whatever you want..."

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Brother, you know my situation. I only have this much money."

"Don't you have 500,000 or 600,000 yuan? Do you have your bank card? We can pay by credit card here."

"That's life-saving money." Luo Rui refused, took the exchanged chips from the waitress, and walked towards the poker table.

He and Su Mingyuan came to the poker table and found an empty seat to sit down.

Su Mingyuan's idea of ​​running away was dispelled, and he hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Brother... are we really going to play?"

Luo Rui glanced around and saw that no one noticed him, so he replied, "What if we don't want to play? If we don't play, will they let us go?

Let me tell you, do you know the people at the innermost table? Many of them are well-known figures in our city. Please help me remember their faces.

Let's lose some money first to find out the situation, understand?"

"Okay!" Su Mingyuan nodded.

Luo Rui nodded to the female dealer who was dealing the cards. There were six people at the table, and there were a lot of chips piled in front of them.

Luo Rui took a look and was surprised to see that the minimum price was one hundred yuan.

He sighed and threw in a chip.

The deal began, and as soon as the three cards came, Luo Rui grabbed them all without thinking.

The bald man wearing a big gold chain next to him looked at him with disdain: "Brother, this poker game is all about poker, why do you do it so roughly?"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes and picked it up to take a look.

Uh……

He swallowed and heard the dealer say, "Please raise your bet!"

The first person threw in five chips without even looking at his cards.

The next five people did the same.

When it was Luo Rui's turn, he also threw in five chips. The big gold chain next to him shouted, "Hey, buddy, you need to double the chips when you see the cards!"

"Ah?!" Luo Rui was confused. He really didn't know. He glanced at Su Mingyuan, who nodded slightly.

Da Jinlian looked at the chips in front of him and said, "Hey, buddy, why don't you stop playing and try the slot machines? Look at the guy across from us, the famous rich kid from Haidong Province, Mr. Yuan Shi Yuan, he has more money than the water in Linjiang, you know? Don't waste our time here!"

Luo Rui looked towards the rich young man opposite him, only to see that he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his face turned away, not daring to even look at him.

"It's okay, I'll just play a round." Luo Rui said with a smile, then turned to Su Mingyuan and said, "Go, change some more chips."

"How much?"

"Give him two hundred thousand in exchange and put it on my account!" The rich young man opposite said, and immediately shocked everyone present.

Da Jinlian opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that they know each other?"

But Master Yuan touched his eyes with one hand, leaving only a slit, and he actually looked a little embarrassed?
The waitress who heard the news suddenly became excited: "Okay, Mr. Yuan, two hundred thousand!"

This time, it was not ten chips, but a plate. The waitress handed the plate to Luo Rui with a cold snort.

Just this one action immediately attracted a lot of people to come and watch, even the skinny guy drinking soda in front of the counter came running over.

Luo Rui blinked: "I'll follow!"

As he said that, he threw in ten chips, which amounted to one thousand yuan.

The others followed suit for several rounds and raised the bet to thirty times. Three of them looked at their cards but still doubled their bet.

In the end, only Da Jinlian, Yuan Shi and Luo Rui were left.

Da Jinlian's face flushed red, as if he was drunk, and he pushed all his chips out: "Let me see Master Yuan's cards."

Yuan Shi nodded, still covering his face with his hands. Da Jinlian picked up the cards in front of him, and the others gathered around him.

Three AAAs!

He took a deep breath calmly, and then he understood why Master Yuan lent money to the young man in front of him, and lent him 200,000 in one go!

This is obviously a rip-off!

Everyone around who had seen the cards understood that the boy in front of them was in trouble.

I borrowed 200,000 yuan. If I don't pay it back, I'll have to chop off one of my hands.

This Young Master Yuan has a grudge against this person!

Luo Rui sat down and continued to throw the chips, while Yuan Shi followed without even looking.

The chips in the middle of the table have accumulated to half a million!

This is the table with the most chips in the entire casino.

The skinny monkey jumped up and down, trying to see Luo Rui's cards, but was held down by Su Mingyuan.

Luo Rui only had 50,000 left, so he pushed it over and said, "I'll bet it all, Mr. Yuan, shall we open the cards?"

"Oh my god!" Big Gold Chain shook his head, thinking that this was terrible, this kid was dead.

The others also sighed, thinking that Master Yuan was a man of his words. If this man couldn't pay back the money, it would be a great honor for his ancestors if he didn't have one of his hands chopped off.
