"How did you know about this?" Han Bin asked.
"This …" Zhou Tianrong was hesitant.
"Tell me. If your information is confirmed, it will be a great merit, and your punishment will be reduced accordingly," Han Bin said.
"Sigh, I'm relieved to hear that," Zhou Tianrong responded, organized his words, and continued.
"When the casino started, there weren't many people, and Brother Biao didn't dare to advertise it. He mainly hired people who knew him well to help introduce him to the casino."
"You're also one of the people who knows him well, right?" Han Bin smiled.
"Yes, I've been in the underworld for two to three years."
"What's Brother Biao's real name?"
"Zhang Hailong."
"Let them investigate this person," Han Bin said.
Li Hui took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Tian Li.
"How did you meet Zhang Hailong?"
"I met him playing cards. Back then, it was just small fights. He's ambitious and wants to do something big."
"How's your relationship?"
"A fair-weather friend. When the casino first opened, he called me brother and asked me to introduce him to some reliable gamblers. Now that he's big, he doesn't remember me," Zhou Tianrong said, gritting his teeth.
"Have you heard anything about San De Zi being robbed?"
"No." Zhou Tianrong shook his head. "Officer Han, can I have a cigarette?"
Han Bin lit a cigarette and handed it over.
Zhou Tianrong took a drag and asked, "How did you find me?"
"We found your other phone number," Han Bin said.
"I was wondering." Zhou Tianrong mumbled and took another drag. "You got it from that old guy, Zou Huaiyuan?"
"You know Zou Huaiyuan?"
"Hehe." Zhou Tianrong laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "I've been in the underworld for so many years. I don't have great skills, but I'm well-informed."
"So, you agree with him being with your mother?"
"Sigh, I'm an unfilial son, and I'm not capable enough to accompany my mother every day. As long as she's happy, I don't care." Zhou Tianrong shrugged.
"Zou Huaiyuan doesn't know. We are going to investigate you," Han Bin said.
Zhou Tianrong nodded. "Thank you."
"Take a break. Call us if you need anything," Han Bin said and left the interrogation room.
"Brother Bin, do you believe him?"
"Let's verify it first," Han Bin said.
Through micro-expression analysis, Han Bin felt that Zhou Tianrong's words were more credible, but everything still needed evidence.
"Then I'll bring Zhao Ming to the vicinity of Kangping Community to investigate and see if Zhou Tianrong has committed the crime. You go and report to Captain Zheng and Captain Zeng," Li Hui suggested.
"Mm." Han Bin nodded. The information he had just received was very important. He had to report it to Zheng Kaixuan and Zeng Ping as soon as possible.
…
There were two sides to the story.
In another interrogation room.
Wang Deli was sitting in the interrogation chair, and Zheng Kaixuan and Zeng Ping were sitting opposite him.
"Wang Deli, I've told you the policy. Now give me an accurate answer. Are you willing to be an informant for the police?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"Sir, I'm willing," Wang Deli said seriously.
Wang Deli had been working in the Water Conservancy Bureau for so many years. He might not be very capable, but he had good eyesight. He could tell that these two were not ordinary people. They were not comparable to the previous two young men.
"If you agree now, there's no turning back. Do you understand?" Zheng Kaixuan confirmed again.
There were many people involved in the blockade, and there were at least dozens of police officers involved in the arrest. If Wang Deli backed out, Zheng Kaixuan would also be in trouble.
He had to confirm it himself.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm willing to make contributions to atone for my crimes."
"Perform well, and we'll help you to reduce your sentence," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Yes."
Zheng Kaixuan flipped open the diary and asked, "Where's your rendezvous point?"
"Bus station."
"Be more specific. Which bus station?"
"Xiangyun bus station."
"Where's the return point?"
"Jianbei Road, near Blue Planet Meikailong."
"Tell me the process of every gambling session. I need to be more detailed."
"We will meet at Xiangyun bus station at ten o 'clock in the evening. Then, we will take the bus and leave together. After we get on the bus, someone will take away our phones. When we come back, they will give us our phones," Wang Deli recalled.
"Where's the exact location of the casino?"
"I'm not very sure about this. I only know that it'll take about half an hour to get there. It's surrounded by mountains, and it's dark."
Zheng Kaixuan rubbed his chin and pondered. Xiangyun Bus Station was in the suburbs. Half an hour's time didn't seem long, but there was no traffic jam at night and it was very fast. It was hard to determine the exact location.
"Captain Zheng, that area should be under the jurisdiction of Nanqiao Town Police Station," Zeng Ping reminded.
Zheng Kaixuan nodded. He was not familiar with the area. If he wanted to catch someone in the mountains, he could only ask the local police station for help.
Buzz … At this moment, the phone on the interrogation table rang.
The phone was wrapped in a bag, and the ringing was a little muffled.
Zeng Ping picked up the phone and looked at it. "It's a message from the WeChat group."
"Which WeChat group?" Wang Deli asked.
"Tianshan Mahjong Group."
"Leader, it's this group. Usually, before gambling, Brother Biao will send a message in this group," Wang Deli said.
Zeng Ping tapped on WeChat and checked the messages.
"Tianshan Sword Meet tonight, the sword is in my hand, the heroes of the world, who can compete with me?"
"What the heck? This doesn't rhyme," Zeng Ping muttered.
"This means that we'll be gambling tonight," Wang Deli said.
Zheng Kaixuan smiled. "You're really good."
"Captain Zheng, are we going to act tonight?" Zeng Ping asked.
Zheng Kaixuan hesitated for a moment. This arrest wasn't Team Three's matter. He had to consider the situation of other units.
"I'll contact the Nanqiao Town Police Station and see how much manpower they can mobilize tonight."
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door. Han Bin pushed the door open and walked in.
"Captain Zheng, Captain Zeng, I have something to report."
Zheng Kaixuan stood up and ordered Zeng Ping, "Find out more about the situation. I'll go out and contact them."
"Okay."
Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand and signaled Han Bin to go out with him.
"How's Zhou Tianrong's interrogation going?"
Han Bin closed the door and said, "Captain Zheng, let's go back to the office and talk."
"Looks like you've learned a lot." Zheng Kaixuan smiled and returned to Team Two's office with Han Bin.
When he entered the office, the room was empty. Everyone else had gone to work.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "According to Zhou Tianrong, Brother Biao's real name is Zhang Hailong. His cousin opened a small shop near the local police station. As long as the police station mobilizes their forces, Zhang Hailong will be alerted."
Zheng Kaixuan revealed an astonished expression and hurriedly asked, "Is the news true?"
"I'm checking."
Zheng Kaixuan took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel some lingering fear. If he had been a step slower, he might have contacted the local police station. Once the police mobilized, Zhang Hailong would be alerted, and all his efforts would have been for naught.
