"Why didn't you say so sooner... sigh..."
Lin Daqiang was furious. Once you get hooked on gambling, it's like being addicted to drugs; it ruins you.
Lu Mo's eyes turned cold. He could understand a few words of the local dialect and could roughly guess that the two who didn't come had gone to a place called Big Head Huang, probably to gamble or solicit prostitutes.
These kinds of people are the easiest to bribe.
He whispered a few words in Fang Yanming's ear. Fang Yanming was very experienced in handling cases and could tell immediately that the two brothers were up to something.
"Call them over here!" Fang Yanming shouted.
"Hey... I'll go get them right away!" Lin Daqiang said hesitantly, his heart filled with anxiety, hoping that his two cousins were just gambling and hadn't done anything else wrong.
But his heart was pounding, and his unease grew stronger.
"Brother Qiang, there's no need to go to Da Tou Huang's place to call him. Guang Hui and the others have bought cell phones," someone said.
Lin Daqiang's expression changed again. He still couldn't bear to buy a cell phone and only used a pager to contact business. Where would Guanghui and the others get the money to buy cell phones? They only earned a little over a thousand yuan a month, and a cell phone would cost at least four or five thousand yuan. It would take them half a year's salary to afford one.
"Guanghui said he's been on a winning streak lately and has won a lot of money."
Lin Daqiang's face turned ashen, and he felt even more uneasy, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
Lu Mo sneered silently. It was just a small gambling den; at most, you could win a few hundred dollars. How could you possibly win a cell phone? These two brothers were definitely up to something.
He took out his phone and asked Lin Daqiang to call the Guanghui brothers. Fortunately, everyone else knew the phone number except for Lin Daqiang.
"Don't mention us, just let them do the work!" Lu Mo warned.
Lin Daqiang looked terrified, his hands trembled, and sweat beaded on his forehead. The others also realized something was wrong and fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.
About half an hour later, the two brothers arrived late, looking listless, with bloodshot eyes, yawning constantly, and generally lethargic.
"Brother Qiang...we're not feeling well today, can we ask for leave?"
The two brothers asked for leave as soon as they arrived. The two looked very similar, one tall and one short. The tall one was the older brother, named Guanghui, who had a slight stutter and was not good at speaking. The short one was the younger brother, Guangzhi, who looked slick and oily.
In just a few minutes, the two brothers yawned more than ten times, their eyes were watery, their hair was oily and matted together, with white dandruff flakes, their collars were covered in black oil stains, and they smelled of something indescribable.
I don't know how long it's been since I washed my hair or took a shower. I felt like I was going to rot, but I was still holding a cell phone in my hand. I was trying to look cool, but it was all so incongruous that it just made people laugh.
Lin Daqiang was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. If it weren't for the presence of police officers, he would have definitely taught those two a lesson.
"Officers have questions for you, so tell me the truth!" Lin Daqiang shouted.
Upon hearing the word "police officer," the two brothers shuddered and looked at Lu Mo and Fang Yanming with fear. Although they tried their best to appear calm, their trembling bodies and panicked, evasive eyes betrayed their true feelings.
Even Lin Daqiang noticed something was wrong, and his heart sank to the bottom.
"Where were you between 7 pm and 9 pm last night?" Fang Yanming first showed his work ID and began asking questions.
The incident involving Ye Qingqing and the others occurred close to nine o'clock, indicating that the perpetrator had begun their actions at least around eight o'clock.
The two brothers trembled even more violently, cold sweat pouring down their faces. How could they have been found so quickly?
They cleaned it all up so thoroughly, leaving not a single trace!
