Chapter 258: Large bank loan records, accurately inferring all the ghost's experiences
In the house where the ghost once lived for a long time.
Su Ming had already put away the lottery ticket in his hand temporarily and immediately went to the study room next door.
In the sentence Xu Changsheng just shouted, he clearly heard the words "U.S. casino chips".
Whether it is inferred from Qu Pengfei's experience or other special circumstances.
A certain casino in the United States definitely has close ties with the drug trafficking organization headed by K.
Now...the chips of the US casino were found in this house.
Just ask.
How could Su Ming not pay attention to it and suspect that there were important clues hidden in it?
......
Come to the study.
Su Ming discovered that in addition to Xu Changsheng, Chen Sheng was also standing nearby, constantly taking out books from the cabinet and flipping through them, hoping to find something else inside.
Xu Changsheng was holding a chip and looking at it. When he saw Su Ming coming, he immediately handed the chip over and gestured.
"Xiao Ming, take a look."
"This should be America's chips, right? There are even English words on it."
Without the slightest hesitation.
Su Ming took the round chip handed over by Xu Changsheng, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and nodded slightly in response.
"This is a chip representing ten thousand dollars."
"Whether it's the shape, the color, or the anti-counterfeiting English characters on it, it all shows that this is a chip from a certain American casino."
"Each casino has a different chip style. You just need to look carefully and you should be able to determine which casino it came from."
Speaking of this.
Su Ming paused for two seconds, put the chips on the desk, then sorted out his thoughts and continued.
"We can still determine one thing at this point."
"The person who put this chip into the book is most likely the ghost's dead wife."
"Because, if it was a ghost who put it in the book, it would not have forgotten to clean up this clue and would have destroyed it immediately."
"Only Ghost's wife was killed suddenly, so she didn't have time to pick up the chip. Ghost didn't even know there was another chip hidden inside."
"As for burning, that's even more impossible."
"There are so many books here. If we want to burn them, it will probably take a long time. The limited capacity of the bathtub may not be enough."
"Normally, there are only two situations in which someone would take $10,000 in chips out of a casino."
"The first type is the wealthy who really have plenty of money and want to leave a token to commemorate their trip. After all, $10,000 is not a small sum."
"The second possibility is that you may have won a lot of money in a casino and take a casino chip as a souvenir, and also regard it as your lucky charm."
"Since I won a lot of money, it wouldn't be too painful to leave a $10,000 chip unredeemed."
"Because if it were those gamblers who are losing a lot of money, even if they only had $10,000 or even $100 in chips left in their pockets, they would go all in without hesitation."
"For those gamblers, the so-called lucky charm is nothing more than a hidden energy source on their backs. Once they lose, let alone the last lucky charm, as long as it can make them get their money back, even their parents at home can use it to swear an oath."
"And then, I just found this thing from the gap at the head of the bed in the master bedroom..."
Speaking of this.
Su Ming took out the lottery ticket in his hand and placed it on the desk as well, squinting his eyes.
"Lottery."
"A lottery ticket that might win millions."
"From the time printed above, it is clear that the purchase was made before Ghost and his wife went to the United States to study magic."
"I bought lottery tickets hoping to get rich, went to the United States to study, and left $10,000 in chips as a souvenir, and the most important thing... "
"Because he was being hunted by a certain person or organization, he chose to go to prison to hide. This seems to point to a certain possibility."
Chen Sheng, who was originally flipping through a book, immediately stopped what he was doing and took over the conversation.
"Is this... because you are short of money so you buy lottery tickets?"
"But in our country, the lottery is something that ordinary people can only win if their ancestors' graves are smoking, so this lottery ticket will definitely not win."
"Then the ghost who is still very short of money chooses to go to the casino to take a chance?"
"But if that's the case, why don't you go to the legal casinos in Australia? Instead, you have to go all the way to the United States and waste such an expensive plane ticket..."
Not finished yet.
Chen Sheng suddenly slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.
"No, the ghost didn't go there to gamble and win money, but... to cheat."
"Because Ghost is a magician, he must have very fast tricks, which can help him win a lot of chips in the casino. So at that time, he must have cheated in the casino and won too much money, which made the casino unable to bear it."
"After a careful investigation, the casino found out that he didn't rely on luck at all, but cheated to win so much money."
"So naturally, that American casino will go crazy and hunt down the ghost to recover its previous losses."
"Because the amount is so huge, Ghost is still worried even after returning to our Dragon Country. He even has to kill his wife and send himself to prison before he can feel at ease."
"Then this seems to explain the answer. If the ghost was just going to the casino to win money, why didn't he go to the closer Australia? Even in our country, the air tickets don't cost that much."
"Because he didn't go there to gamble, but to commit another kind of fraud."
After listening to Su Ming and Chen Sheng’s analysis.
Xu Changsheng also thought seriously for two seconds, then nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with this inference, but he also pointed out the most critical detail.
"Xiao Ming, Director Chen."
"This inference is indeed very likely. It can basically perfectly supplement and explain why the ghost killed his wife and sent himself to prison."
"But we still lack precise evidence to confirm this inference completely."
As soon as the words fell.
Su Ming smiled confidently and immediately told his verification method.
"Brother Sheng."
“It’s actually very simple to verify this inference.”
"At the time, I would buy lottery tickets to try my luck, and I would cheat people at casinos. The risk was too great to take."
"If you are discovered by the casino, you will be thrown into the river."
"That means Ghost and his wife were extremely short of money at the time. How could he afford the high airfare to the United States and the initial capital for gambling?"
"Obviously there is only one possibility, and that is... a bank loan."
"Because Ghost went to America with the excuse of studying magic, then from the perspective of normal people, he must have had enough money to study magic."
"Then he probably won't be able to borrow a large sum of money from his friends and relatives to carry out this plan."
"Bank loans are undoubtedly the last option."
This moment.
Su Ming looked at Chen Sheng beside him and said with squinted eyes with great seriousness and confidence.
"Director Chen."
"Have the officers from the Criminal Investigation Technical Division check whether Ghost and his wife have any loan records from major banks."
"If nothing unexpected happens, not only is there a loan record, but it is likely to be a very large loan..."
