"Comrade police, what are you doing?"
Li Hui grabbed the suspect's hair and lifted him up. "Don't you know what you've done?"
At this moment, Zeng Ping also rushed over and restrained God of Swords, but his methods were not as fierce.
"Search him," Zeng Ping ordered.
"Stand still," Han Bin scolded and pressed his arm for Li Hui to search.
Li Hui searched the suspect and shook his head. "I didn't find any tools."
"Comrade police, did you arrest the wrong person?" the arrested suspect shouted.
"Name?"
"Li Zhichao."
"Where is your accomplice?"
"What accomplice?"
"You're playing dumb, aren't you?" Han Bin exerted force and lifted his arm up.
"Ouch, it hurts." Li Zhichao raised his chin and pointed at God of Swords. "I'm with him. We're accomplices."
Han Bin felt that something was wrong. "Captain Zeng, where's the suspect's taxi?"
"Zhao Ming and Tian Li went after it." Zeng Ping responded and asked the suspect, "We suspect that you're involved in a robbery. Please return to the police station to assist in the investigation."
"I … robbery, I'm innocent. Who did I rob?" the suspect shouted.
"Comrade police, did you arrest the wrong person? Are we really not related to the robbery?" God of Swords said.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Jinbo."
"What's your relationship?"
"We're … we're friends."
Zeng Ping frowned and also felt that something was wrong. "Bring him back for interrogation."
"Yes."
Whether or not Li Zhichao was the suspect of the robbery, the two of them were involved in blocking Weibo. It was inevitable that they would go to the police station.
…
Han Bin felt that something was wrong. He returned to the police station and immediately interrogated Li Zhichao.
Han Bin turned on the law enforcement recorder, opened the notebook, and began the routine questioning.
"Name, gender, age, nationality, birthplace …"
"My name is Li Zhichao, male, 33 years old, local …"
"Li Zhichao, do you know why I captured you?" Han Bin went straight to the point.
"I'm not sure about that. I've always been law-abiding and have never done anything bad. Did you arrest the wrong person?" Li Zhichao argued.
"Since we captured you, we have evidence. Now that you're in this position, the smartest thing to do is to tell us the truth. Don't make things difficult for yourself, and don't cause trouble for us," Han Bin warned.
"I, I …" Li Zhichao stuttered. He seemed to be in a dilemma.
"What's your relationship with Chen Jinbo?"
"Mahjong partners."
"Why are you following him?"
"I'm not stalking you. We made an appointment to meet," Li Zhichao explained.
Bang!
Li Hui slammed the table and questioned, "Nonsense, the two of you came down from the same bus. Even if you wanted to talk in private, you could have just taken a taxi. Why did you have to take two separate buses?"
"The two of us … don't want others to see us," Li Zhichao stuttered.
"What's shameful between the two of you? Tell me." Li Hui's interest was piqued.
"There's nothing shameful. The two of us are good players, and we're afraid that other mahjong partners will be suspicious," Li Zhichao said perfunctorily.
"Let me tell you, we know everything about your involvement in blocking Weibo. Now we suspect that you're involved in a robbery, and the target is Chen Jinbo. If you can't explain the specific relationship between you and Chen Jinbo, we can only suspect that you're related to the robbery," Han Bin warned.
"Police comrade, you've really misunderstood. I'm in cahoots with Chen Jinbo. How could I rob him?"
"What kind of cahoots?"
"When we play mahjong … we'll deliberately feed each other cards. Half of the money he won yesterday is mine. Why would I rob him?"
"Damn, you two are cheating," Li Hui said in surprise.
"This is a small casino, and it's not very formal. We're just fooling around." Li Zhichao smiled bitterly.
"We also know that this kind of thing can be easily found out. That's why we deliberately distanced ourselves from each other and arranged a place to split the money."
Han Bin ran his fingers through his hair. Although he had already guessed that the other party might not be a robber, he was still a little disappointed now that it was confirmed.
"How many times have you participated in gambling?"
"My first time."
"Think about it carefully."
"It really is my first time." Li Zhichao looked sincere.
"Do you know Brother Rong? He's seen you more than once. "Han Bin asked sternly.
"Brother Rong was also arrested."
"Brother Rong wasn't the only one who was arrested. If you're lying, I believe they'll be very willing to testify against you," Han Bin snorted.
"I … I've been there four or five times."
"Bang!" Li Hui slammed the table and scolded, "Tell me the exact number of times."
"Nine times."
"How did you join the gambling?"
"Brother Biao pulled me in."
Han Bin's interest was piqued. "You know Brother Biao?"
"We used to play cards together."
"Do you know what his real name is?"
Li Zhichao shook his head. "I don't know."
"How much do you know about this Brother Biao?"
"Brother Biao, from Southbridge. I know where he lives," Li Zhichao said.
This was an unexpected gain.
"His exact address."
"Brother Biao is married, but he doesn't often stay at home. He lives alone outside. If you go to his house to arrest him, you won't be able to find him. He'll definitely escape once he gets the news." Li Zhichao pointed out.
"We'll value the information you provided and give you a reduced sentence." Han Bin knew what he meant.
"Thank you, officer." Li Zhichao smiled.
"Brother Biao is a very careful person. In his words, if you want to do something big, you have to start with something small. He rented a house outside, and very few people know about it."
"Then how did you know?"
"I live in that area too. I've met him and had a drink with him. He was the one who pulled me into the gambling," Li Zhichao said.
Han Bin knocked on the table and urged, "Where is he?"
"Lian Bei Town, Beiwa Village Residential Building."
"Be more specific."
"I knew he lived in this area, but I didn't dare to ask. It's the rule of the underworld. If I asked, I'd be insensible," Li Zhichao said seriously.
"Don't flatter yourself. If you followed the rules, would you cheat with others?" Li Hui snorted.
Li Zhichao laughed. "Officer, can I reduce the sentence for the information I provided just now?"
"We'll report the truth. As for whether or not we can reduce the sentence, it depends on your performance." Han Bin flipped open the diary and wrote down the address.
"Officer, I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation and make more contributions."
"Do you know the exact location of the casino?"
Li Zhichao frowned. "I know the general location, but everyone is going there to have fun. They don't pay much attention to it and only think about gambling. Moreover, it's dark at night, and it's a mountain road. They get confused after walking around, so it's hard to find it."
"Can you find it in the day?" Han Bin asked.
"The casino is built in the mountains, and I know the approximate location. If we really send more police to search the mountains, we can definitely find it, but …" Li Zhichao wanted to say something but stopped.
"Say it."
"I had a drink once and asked Brother Biao if the casino was safe. Guess what Brother Biao said?" Li Zhichao asked.
"Don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and say it," Li Hui said unhappily.
"Brother Biao said that he has people watching over the mountains. As long as someone is near the casino, he will receive the news. If the police appear in the vicinity, he will not organize any more gambling. He will wait until the storm blows over." Li Zhichao could not help but sigh after he finished speaking.
He heard this and felt that the casino was safer, so he joined the gambling. He didn't expect to be caught by the police.
Han Bin felt lucky. If he wasn't cautious last night, he might have been discovered by the people at the casino. By then, not only would he not be able to find any evidence, even Wang Deli would be in danger.
As long as Wang Deli got enough evidence last night, he could directly arrest Brother Biao …
