Chapter 17 15. The casino was seized

Casino moved to Shanghai, still very popular.I don’t know where the gamblers come from, they have all kinds of teachings, everyone, don’t look at the usual arrogant appearance, but here they have the same gambler’s face, gambler’s mentality, gambler’s face, winning the sky, Lost sadly. After seeing too many people lose and seeing too many gamblers of all kinds, my heart finally became numb. The casino business is booming, and my salary has also increased. It is no longer 3,500 a month, but an hourly wage, 1,000 yuan an hour.Of course, the table I host must also win money, but it can’t be too much. In some games, the boss secretly reminds the croupier to let some winners win some.

The good times didn’t last long. One night in the late spring of 1997, the crowd was as loud as usual, and the gamblers were greedily and intently staring at the game in front of them. No one paid attention to what was happening outside.It was around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I was hosting the baccarat table as usual. At that time, I was already able to host a table with ease. When I was not particularly busy, I still had time to help the little girl who lost money to calculate the water money . Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and then a group of people rushed in, "Police, we are the police!" The first thought in my mind was: Police?What's up with the police, it's amazing.Just when I was stunned, I was held down by someone, and I looked up to find that the group of people who came here were all dressed in casual clothes, and everyone was holding a gun in their hands. of.

I found out later that it was a "strike hard" operation, which seemed to be called "Spring Thunder Operation" or something.At that time, I was asked to squat against the wall with my head in my hands, and then someone searched me, and everything on me was searched.There was chaos at the scene, the police scolded, the gamblers begged for mercy, pleaded, and cried, for a long time.The police checked the scene in an orderly manner and confiscated all the chips and money on the table. All the tables were smashed on the spot, and wooden fragments were scattered all over the floor. I think they didn't find the mechanism in the gaming table because it was too inconspicuous. .

After processing the items, they divided those who participated in the gambling into two groups: gamblers and casinos.We were all told to hold our heads and not talk to each other. Taking advantage of the chaos, I looked around secretly and found that the big guest had been assigned to the gamblers.His identity is extremely concealed, even the regulars on the field think that he is also here to play.When I looked at him, he was also looking at me, beckoning me with his eyes, and shook his head slightly at me.I understood right away, I can't say anything when I go in, and I can't say anything even if I am killed!

Not only the interests of the casino owner are involved here, but most importantly, if I say everything, what will happen?I know the pros and cons of this. I don’t know how long it took to be in chaos. The scene was probably cleaned up. We lined up, and the waistbands were all pulled away.When we got outside, hey, there were a lot of people, most of them were policemen in uniform. Since it was midnight, some people passed by to watch the excitement, but they were all far away, and there were many police cars.The people inside were so carried away with gambling that they didn't realize until now that the consequences of being caught would be very serious.

We were divided into several groups and loaded into police cars in batches. In the police station, I firmly insisted that I was an hired employee and knew nothing but the rules of baccarat, so I presided over the table there.I told the truth about other things to the police. In another city, I came to work in the casino because I thought I didn’t make enough money. I came to Shanghai with my boss. I just watched the tables and didn’t care about anything else.I also pretended to be pitiful and told the police that the boss still owed me my salary. The policeman who interrogated me squinted at me hard, which made me flustered for a while. I think he must not believe what I said.

But I understand in my heart that only a few core people know the treatment of everyone in the casino. If the bosses of the casino don't say anything, it is impossible for others to know anything else.Needless to say, the nature is not as simple as gambling, and the bosses know more about it than I do.I insisted that I didn't know anything, and the police had no way of questioning me. The policeman asked me, "How much do you earn a month?" I pretended to be thinking, and said, "Not necessarily. It depends on the benefits of the casino. If you win, you will pay more. If you lose, you will pay a thousand or eight hundred and basic living expenses."

After that, no one talked to me anymore. After the interrogation was over, I was left there and was not allowed to sleep. I stayed up until dawn with my eyes open.At about 7:00 the next morning, I was called into an office again, and I was asked about the same things I had asked, and there was a special record. After the questioning, I was shown, my fingerprints were pressed, and I was taken back to the original place.At about 10 o'clock, the result of my punishment was announced: I was detained for 15 days and fined 5,000 yuan for participating in crowd gathering for gambling. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and no one has submitted the fine to me since I entered. I didn't know that he paid the fine for me until the detention period expired and Dabin came to pick me up.

Dabin's uncle, who is also my boss, was taken away. Dabin was trying to figure out a solution. It might be a bit troublesome. The casino had to go out of business, and I just lost my job.
