Chapter 25 Section 25

Jing Nai turned over on the bed. "In short, to replace those customers who don't want to go to the trouble of buying horse tickets?" "For the guests, there is such a convenience." "So, how much is the handling fee?" "No, it's basically free. If there is a handling fee, the customer must buy it by himself." "So, the service provided to make the coffee shop flourish?" Kou pursed his lips and smiled at Shizuna. "When they are exposed, they will probably use this as an excuse." "Eh? What. What's going on? Explain it in a simple and clear way."

"There are many kinds of gambling organizations. Now we are talking about the basics. In this way, the boss does not need to reserve funds. The customers also save the trouble of buying horse tickets. Then, after winning the horse tickets, the boss will draw more money. Big bonus. Legitimate public gambling organizations will take a quarter of the amount of betting coupons as operating expenses. For example, if you bet 1 million, the actual bet amount is 750,000. Because the operating expenses drawn by gambling organizations are relatively small Low, so the dividends drawn are higher. Gambling organizations meet the needs of customers and emerge as the times require.”

"But, isn't Mr. Boss going to lose money?" Regarding Jing Nai's title of "Mr. Boss", Gong smiled. "Buying horse tickets according to the customer's bet will of course lose money. What if they ignore the customer's request and bet according to their own wishes? The customer guessed wrong and they guessed right, so the reward is not all their own?" "Then what if you guessed wrong too?" "Of course, this kind of situation happens from time to time. So the safe way is to receive betting commissions from customers, but not to buy horse tickets. These betting money will continue to roll into the pockets of gambling organizations."

"What if the guest guesses right?" "The only thing is to pay the bounty. But in reality, it is not so easy to guess the horse coupon. Although there are cases of guessing, most of them fail. In the long run, the casino owner will definitely make money. Fuck off. That’s what horse racing is about. That’s why the JRA② (Note 2) is so rich. Well, just in case, if the customer bets a high amount, the gambling organization will still buy it for insurance.” Shizuna lowered her head, as if trying to digest Koichi's words.After a while, she looked up sharply. "What's the name of that coffee shop?"

"'SUNRISE'?" "Well, that's what's going on in 'SUNRISE'?" "It's about the same." Gongyi turned his chair and faced the computer screen, which displayed the news reports retrieved from the Internet. "It was written in the report that the clerk of the store recorded the customer's bets in a special ledger and gave the customer a stub. The customer who guessed correctly needs to pay 5% more than the regular store. In fact, , they didn’t buy the beta coupons. Look, it’s the same as I said.” "So, dad is also one of them?" Jing Nai lowered her face.

"His name is on the customer list, he is probably a regular customer." Shizuna shook her head and threw the pillow she was holding against the wall. "How can people believe this kind of thing. I don't know anything about Dad's horse betting." Koichi and Taisuke looked at each other, and Taisuke had an angry, hurt expression on his face.When Gong thought about it, his expression was probably similar to that of Taifu. "Because Jing was still young..." Taifu muttered. Jing Nai sat up and gave him a sideways glance. "What, what's going on?"

However, Taifu didn't answer, he shot Gongyi a distressed look.Presumably he didn't want to talk about it himself. Gong Yi rested his chin on the computer desk. "Father is obsessed with gambling, especially the horses." "Why have I never seen it before?" Jing Nai said forcefully. "Because Jing was still very young at that time. Whenever the shop was closed, he would definitely go to the racetrack, leaving early and returning late. My mother said that he would come back smelling of alcohol when he lost, and spend money recklessly when he won. For this reason, Mom and Dad often quarrel. But Dad has no intention of stopping at all."

"But, as far as I know, that never happened once. Did he quit?" "Quit, because it was written into the composition." "composition?" "Brother, stop talking." Taifu waved his arms vigorously. "If you don't talk about this, Jing will be confused." Gongyi continued to look at Jingna, "Taifu wrote in the composition, every rest day, watching Dad go to the racetrack, so lonely, I want Dad to play with me more After reading this article, the teacher specially came to visit the house and asked Dad to pay more attention to the mood of the child. So Dad gave up and made an appointment with us and Mom not to go to the racetrack again.”

"Liar..." Jing Nai was stimulated as the father in his memory faded away. Taisu clicked his tongue. "Are you going to use these to deceive people? It's because you wrote strange words in the composition that made dad angry. Mom often puts these words on her lips." "It was miserable at that time." Gong Yi smiled wryly, it seems that it must not be a pleasant memory.But, it is indeed a treasured chapter of family life to remember. "Father still hasn't quit, horse racing." Taifu bit his lip and said, "Although I won't go to the racetrack anymore, I will take the opportunity to bet near home."

"There is also a mother watching at home. However, speaking of it, there have been such things. Every Sunday, I went out under the pretext of having dinner. It is about the same time as going to the racetrack, and I leave early and return late. I probably went to 'SUNRISE'. Then I called Call the gambling organization to bet, and you can bet on horses at home." "Brother, when did you know?" Taifu asked. "Dad hangs around about gambling? He was kept in the dark when he was a child." "So, I'm asking when did you know about it! You knew this, so you ran to Sakuragi Town after asking the question at 'NAPAN'."

Gong was speechless for a moment.He didn't tell them about keeping in touch with Kashiwahara. "Four years ago. After 'SUNRISE' was swept up, Dad's name appeared on the customer list, and then the police in Kanagawa contacted me." Taifu, who was leaning against the wall, jumped up suddenly after hearing this. "Does the police know about this place?" "This is bad." Jing Nai's face also changed. "When I came out of the orphanage, I left my contact information. Although I have moved a few times, if the police want to check, they will know where I live right away. It's not a big deal. We haven't revealed anything, so don't worry." "That's good." Jing Nai said anxiously. "At that time, did not find the relationship with that case?" Taifu asked. "The police only found out that my father borrowed 3 million yuan from a gambling organization. After accumulating a considerable amount of debt, my father asked the gambling organization to borrow money to bet on horses. He planned to pay back the money if he won. With this idea, he borrowed more and more. .It is said that my father was in debt collection. The IOU is still there. My parents were killed before this deadline. The gambling organization has no motive to kill my parents. Well~ Even after the deadline, they don’t need to kill people.” "Brother, why didn't you tell us this." Jing Nai cast a reproachful look, the corners of her eyes were slightly red. "I don't think it's necessary. Don't want to tell your fathers about gambling." "But..." She lowered her head regretfully. "So, Togami Masayuki also visits that 'Sunrise'?" Taisuke asked. Gong nodded. "The store mentioned in the long mouth of 'NAPAN' most likely refers to 'SUNRISE'. Hushen is responsible for delivering food, and he should have been there several times. It is not unusual to meet Dad there." "When Hushen delivered the food, he was criticized by the customer as unpalatable. Could it be that customer is Dad?" "There's no guarantee, but it's very likely that Dad will do something like this." "He is too serious about the taste. For other shops, just let him fend for himself." Tai Fu sat cross-legged on the bed, and couldn't help but put his arms around his chest.It seems that the complaining guest is Dad.Then, he seemed to notice something, raised his head, "Hey, could it be..." "what?" "Cooking was belittled, and then he got angry all of a sudden, so he gave Dad to..." Taifu said more and more softly, Gong Yi understood what he meant and shook his head. "Impossible. Anyway, it's impossible to kill people for such a thing. Besides, this can't explain why Togami made 'Ariake' diced beef rice." "That's right." Taifu murmured. "I don't know what's going on, but I think Dad and Togami may have known each other since then." Koichi said, "Also, they kept in touch quite frequently. Then, Dad told Togami the recipe for rice with diced beef. Maybe Dad asked He borrowed money. Cookbooks in exchange." "Father is running around to raise money, it's very possible." Jing Nai also sat up. "But hey, at that time, Hushen himself was also struggling to make ends meet. He wanted the recipe wholeheartedly, but he had no money to lend him. How do you speculate?" "Then kill someone?" Taifu raised his voice. "The voice is too loud." Gong Yi frowned, "Listen to me. I don't think there is any murderous intent if I don't have money to borrow. But, there is a lot of money in front of him? In other words, he knows that someone he knows is pregnant. What about the huge sum of money? It’s not hard to imagine that Hushen, who has difficulty in turnover, has evil thoughts in his heart.” "Who? Who is the rich man?" Taifu asked. Kung snorted "Of course it's Dad." "dad?" "I understand." Jing Nai clapped her hands, "Before the case happened, my father and mother ran around to raise money to repay the gambling money. If the money was raised, our family would have 3 million that night." "That's right. Then, Hushen probably knew about it." Gongyi said, "How? That should constitute a motive." Taifu jumped off the bed, clenched his hands into fists, and stood like General Hum Ha. "It must be so. The household god is the prisoner." "Don't get too excited. We did find a connection between Togami and 'Ariake'. But other than that, it's all speculation. What about the evidence that our family had a huge sum of money that night?" "Then, what should we do next?" Unable to restrain the anxiety in his heart, Taifu kept scratching his head. "By the way, the murderer Taige witnessed that night was Togami Masahiro, isn't that evidence? What else do you need?" Jing Nai also chimed in. "As Jing said, we are all sure of this. But, now, the police won't believe it. More conclusive evidence is needed." "So, we also..." Jing Nai looked distressed. "Don't worry. I didn't ask Jing Nai to look for evidence. As I said before, use a secret trick." "That, what exactly is it?" Taisu asked, tilting his head.Gong Yi smiled slightly. "If we can't find any evidence, the only thing we can do is to fabricate evidence." What Xingcheng has in his hand is shrimp and .Smelling the aroma of peanut butter, he took a bite into his mouth.Close your eyes, chew and swallow slowly.It is also very important to confirm the lingering aroma in the mouth. "Not bad." Opening his eyes, he said, "It maintains a strong taste, no fishy smell, and will not affect the taste of the diced beef rice." After hearing this, Yokota, who was on the side with a disturbed expression, relaxed and smiled. -------------------------------- Note:
