After Luke obtained the information about Rohel Horn and the surveillance video during the drug trial at Kalman Company, he led the team back to the Detective Bureau.

Luke arranged for the team members to investigate separately, and then returned to the captain's office.

In the office, Luke put all the clues and evidence about Rohel Horn on the table and reorganized his investigation thoughts.

First of all, it is still unclear whether Rohel Horn's death was suicide or homicide.

Luke personally prefers suicide.

First, because the police did not find the container containing the drugs at the discovery scene, it was probably taken away by others, indicating that a second person may have been present when Rohel Horn died.

Secondly, judging from the current situation, Rohel Horn is a responsible person, and it is impossible for him to leave his wife and young children to commit suicide. This is contrary to common sense.

The third point is that the fire at Kalman Pharmaceuticals was too coincidental.

Rohel Horn died on July 10th, and a fire broke out at Kalman Pharmaceuticals on July 11th. There may be a certain connection between the two.

Luke checked the surveillance of Rohel Horn going to Kalman Company for a drug test on July 9. Although Rohel Horn was unsmiling at that time, he found no obvious abnormalities.

Luke also asked people to investigate the situation of the same batch of drug testers, and maybe they can find some clues.

"Dongdong..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Xiao Hei opened the door and walked in, "Captain, we discovered something."

Luke and Xiao Hei walked out of the captain's office together and came to Jackson's desk.

Jackson said, "Captain, as you requested, we compared the surveillance videos of Kalman Company and the community near where Rohel Horn died.

A suspicious black Chevrolet sedan was found with the license plate number 2Huy377."

Jackson paused and continued, "At three o'clock in the afternoon on July 10, the car went to the community where Rohel Horn died and left at five o'clock in the afternoon.

At nine o'clock in the evening on July 11, the car went near Kalman Pharmaceutical Company and left around twelve o'clock in the evening.

It completely matches the time of the two incidents. I think the owner of this car has serious suspicions."

Luke played back the video, compared the cars in the two videos, and asked, "Have you found the car owner's information?"

Owner, Ronnie Prada

Sex: Male

Height, 177cm

Weight, 150 pounds

Date of birth, March 16, 1984

License plate number, 2Huy377

Address, No. 405, Marbury Community.

Criminal record, suspected of intimidation, violent debt extortion, and intentional injury.

Luke remembered his previous conversation with the homeless man Martin. According to Martin, the deceased could not find a suitable job and had to support the family. For a while, he had been relying on gambling to make a living. At first, he was lucky and made some money, but after a long time

The bet was bound to lose, and he ended up owing a lot of loan sharks.

This Ronnie Prada is probably a member of a loan shark organization, and Rohel Horn may have borrowed money from their organization.

But under normal circumstances, loan sharking organizations rarely kill borrowers. It's very simple, who pays back the money after the person dies.

On the night when the Kalman Pharmaceutical Company burned down, Ronnie Prada's car was still nearby. I'm afraid this matter was not as simple as collecting a debt.

Luke couldn't figure out the relationship between the three for a while.

Subsequently, the police investigation focused on Ronnie Prada.

…

Monopoly casino.

The casino covers an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square feet and has a variety of entertainment projects, including baccarat, blackjack, roulette, poker, slot machines, etc.

A black man wearing sunglasses and a gold chain walked into the casino lobby. He waved his hands and shouted, "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Today is a happy day, I believe that Lady Luck will belong to me tonight."

His loud voice and exaggerated expression quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding gamblers.

But the black man didn't care. He staggered to the side of the roulette wheel, took out two five-hundred-dollar chips from his pocket, and slapped them on the roulette table, "I'm betting on red."

'boom!'

His strength was so great that the table shook, causing dissatisfaction from other gamblers.

The black man didn't care and stared back fiercely.

This arrogant black man is Xiao Hei who came with a mission.

The police found that a black Chevrolet had visited two crime scenes during the time of the crime. The owner of the car was Ronnie Prada, who had a criminal history of collecting loan sharks.

Luke guessed that the deceased had lost money in the casino, so he approached Ronnie Prada for a loan shark, and that was how they got in touch.

Ronnie Prada may well have had something to do with the deceased's death.

The police began to search for the whereabouts of Ronnie Prada.

However, for habitual criminals like Ronnie Prada, most of the information left at the police station is not true, and it is impossible to find him based on official information.

Therefore, Luke could only think of other ways.

Luke asked someone to check the deceased's credit card record and found that he had often spent money near this casino for a while. Luke guessed that the deceased should have gambled and lost money at this casino, and probably borrowed money from loan sharks nearby.

That’s why tonight’s act of luring the snake out of its hole was created.

At this time, a roulette wheel has started spinning.

A small yellow ball rolled in the roulette wheel and stopped in the red 12 area under the gaze of everyone.

Xiao Hei waved his fist and shouted loudly, "Yeah, yeah, I won, I won! Haha!"

Xiao Hei's shout attracted the attention of the surrounding gamblers. Some looked at him with envy, some with disgust, and some simply ignored him.

Xiao Hei's chips also changed from one thousand to two thousand.

Xiao Hei grinned widely and placed two 500 chips and a 1,000 chip on the gambling table, "I bet on the odd number."

Other gamblers also placed bets. There are many ways to play roulette. Everyone can bet in different ways, and the odds are also different.

The roulette wheel rotated again, and everyone looked at the yellow ball. Under everyone's gaze, the yellow ball stopped at the black 15 position.

odd number.

"Yeah, yeah..." Xiao Hei jumped up excitedly and waved his right fist vigorously, "I told you, the goddess of luck belongs to me tonight.

I will be the gambling king tonight!"

Xiao Hei's bold words once again attracted the attention of other gamblers. Some were envious, some were dissatisfied, pointing at him, and some were waiting to see his expression as he lost money.

The chips in Xiao Hei's hand turned into four thousand US dollars.

Xiao Hei pushed the chips to the 1-12 area, "e on, baby, I'm going to play a big one!"

Xiao Hei won two games in a row and attracted a lot of gamblers. Some people were optimistic about Xiao Hei before and thought he was lucky and wanted to follow him. However, seeing that the probability of his bet this time was low, they gave in.

The yellow ball rolled in the roulette wheel and slowly stopped at the red 3 position.

"Oh! Haha..." Xiao Hei waved his hands, jumped as high as he could, and then did a moonwalk.

This is the charm of gambling, which can instantly double, even triple or triple your chips.

The odds of this round were 2:1. Xiao Hei directly won 8,000 US dollars, with a total of 12,000 chips.

Xiao Hei won three games in a row, and coupled with his "outgoing" personality, he quickly became the focus of the casino.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Hei placed his chips in the area No. 13-24, "I will win again, I will!"

Xiao Hei's self-confidence attracted more people's attention. He won three games in a row and was in full swing. Several people were moved and started betting with him.

But there are still more gamblers choosing to wait and see, or bet in their own way.

The roulette wheel spins again, the yellow ball rolls, and finally stops in area No. 30.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei's face drooped.

Several people who placed bets with him also looked annoyed, "Fuck!"

"I was tricked by this bastard."

"I shouldn't have followed him!"

Other gamblers also talked about it. Some said that Xiao Hei was too reckless and shouldn't bet all his chips. Some said that Xiao Hei's luck had run out and he should just give it up when he got good.

Others said that Xiao Hei had blasphemed the goddess of luck and deserved to lose money.

At this time, Xiao Hei's face showed reluctance and annoyance. He looked at the croupier taking away the chips, as if he was about to cry.

He turned to look at the pot-bellied white man aside, "Hey, man, you saw, I won three games in a row before, I was very lucky.
