Chapter 313
It's no wonder that this set of words was summarized through countless battles. It was always accurate when used. It only took a few seconds to scare Xiao Meng into confessing everything.
It's not chess, it's cards, the kind where you bet money, which is illegal, so I didn't dare say anything just now. I didn't dare call the police even though I was cheated of money.
Xiao Meng frowned and said, "This time I'm telling the truth. Except for the chess thing, everything else is true... Are you going to arrest me?"
"You knew D-Bo was breaking the law and still participated. Shouldn't we arrest you? However, since you've honestly confessed, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious service."
"What opportunity? How can I make a contribution?" Xiao Meng asked anxiously. He wanted to make a contribution so badly!!!
"Take us to that gambling spot right now. If we find the guy selling the fake cards, we'll have him return the money to you and won't punish you for gambling."
The public security comrade’s meaning was very clear, which was to let Xiao Meng take them to destroy the D gambling den.
"Yes, yes, they will be there this afternoon. I'll take you there right away."
Su Miao and his father exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with excitement. "Wow! So exciting! So good! I want to see it!"
Then the public security officer turned to the Su father and daughter and said, "Then you..."
"We must stay far away, watch quietly, and not say a word!" Su Miao answered quickly.
The police officer thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you guys can come with us, but we have to go back to the station to call someone and change clothes first."
Changing clothes means changing into casual clothes. Otherwise, if you just walk over like that, people will be scared away before you even get close.
The so-called suburbs are not really suburbs. It only takes more than 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from the police station to get there.
This is an urban village, far away from the main road and next to the river. The villagers planted a lot of trees and made it into a small park. Many people around here would come here for a walk and entertainment in their spare time.
As for when the D-bo situation began, I can only say that it was a long time ago.
This area is beyond the jurisdiction of the police station where Su Miao is located. Before coming here, the public security comrades went to cooperate with the police station in this area.
So suddenly a few more public security comrades showed up, and this unexpected and unprepared small operation suddenly became larger in scale.
The police officer, who had changed into his regular uniform, smiled and said to Su Miao, "You can catch more fish when the fish aren't paying attention."
The grove of trees mostly obscured the gamblers' figures and also helped the public security comrades conceal their whereabouts.
They parked all the cars outside the grove and walked inside to avoid the sight of the villagers in the city. When they arrived at a pavilion, they could clearly hear shouts in front of them and vaguely see the figures of many people.
The public security comrades asked Su Miao and his daughter to stay in the pavilion and not to follow them forward. Then they discussed for a few words, dispersed, and gradually approached in a surrounding manner.
Su Miao turned around and saw Xiao Meng hiding behind them. He said helplessly, "Comrade Xiao Meng, what are you afraid of? The police have already said they won't arrest you."
"Ah, what do you know, little girl? I can't let them know that I was the one who snitched. Besides... I won't have any cards to play with in the future."
Su Miao was even more speechless. He said, "Playing cards has nothing to do with gambling itself. It's you who want to gamble, so you use playing cards as a means to gamble. Is it necessary to bet money when playing cards? Whoever loses can run two laps or do a few push-ups. It can also strengthen your body."
"If you don't play, you certainly don't know how fun it is... Let me tell you!"
"I won't listen. If you keep talking, when the police come out I'll tell them you're still gambling and I'll arrest you too."
"No, no, no! I can't stop talking. I was just playing for a few cents anyway, and I won't dare to do it again. It's a pity that I support your papaya shreds so much. I'm your loyal customer!"
Su Miao ignored him and took out a telescope from his bag.
This telescope was given to her by Liang Manman before and had been kept at home. She just took it home to get it while the public security comrades went back to prepare, so that she could see the arrest process more clearly. After all, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
There were several tables set up in an open space in the grove, and a lot of people gathered around them. They had expressions of excitement or nervousness on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on the card games on the table.
Some of them hunched their backs and leaned forward, as if trying to devote all their energy to the card game in front of them; others had flushed faces, veins bulging on their foreheads, and were shouting loudly. The cards in their hands were squeezed out of shape, and every time they played a card, they were accompanied by exaggerated gestures and heavy breathing.
There was a pile of scattered cash on the table, including banknotes and coins.
It happened that an uncle had "won a great victory" and with a smug look on his face, he threw the money on the table in front of him. The coins made a clattering sound as they collided with each other. The sound was particularly harsh, as if it was a provocation to the law.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair had a nearly burnt-out cigarette in his mouth. A long pile of ash had accumulated, but he was completely unaware of it. He just stared at the cards intently, his eyes sometimes flashing with a hint of pride, and sometimes filled with anxiety and regret.
The young man next to him kept rubbing his hands and stamping his feet on the ground nervously, as if he was trying to speed up the progress of the game.
There was also an old man, squinting his eyes, with wrinkles on his face like ravines. He played cards very slowly, and each card seemed to have been carefully considered, but his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner nervousness.
"Freeze! Police!"
Suddenly, a roar was heard from the forest, and the public security comrades rushed up like tigers coming out of the mountains.
Some gamblers were so startled by the sudden shout that they sat still, with the cards in their hands scattered all over the floor; some tried to escape, but were caught by the public security officers nearby as soon as they stood up.
A public security officer was quick-eyed and quick-handed. Seeing a gambler trying to slip away from the side, he dodged to the side, took a few big steps, and knocked the gambler to the ground in an instant.
Several police officers in charge of controlling the table quickly surrounded the gambler and seized the gambling equipment and money one by one. One of the gamblers tried to take advantage of the chaos to hide some of the gambling money in his clothes. The police officer keenly noticed his little move, stared at him with a sharp gaze, and said sternly: "Don't take any chances, hand over your things!"
Under the stern gaze of the police, the gambler had no choice but to hand over the hidden gambling money.
However, there were too many people in D-Bo, and many of them fled like a flock of frightened birds. In panic, two of them lost their way and went to the river. When they saw the police chasing them, they simply "splashed" into the river.
