After receiving the instructions, the captain of the gambling boat worked very efficiently. He first sent people to inform the guests that the gambling boat was about to dock for supplies, and let some guests who were inconvenient to show up to leave first.
Then, four large ships lined up and set sail from the high seas, heading straight for Macau.
On this day, the sea was calm, which was considered a good time to go out to sea, and the driving was very smooth.
Thinking about the death of his own brother and the possibility that he would never get back the tens of millions of gambling money, Xing Jing was very depressed and went to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.
"It's a ten million bet. If you win the fifty million, you won't be able to compensate even if you sell it. But with so many people competing for the fireworks, it shouldn't be such a coincidence. Someone just bets again and wins, right?"
Xing Jing was calculating in her mind and her mind was spinning rapidly, wondering what to do about this matter.
Woohoo!
The four ships were sailing steadily. Just as they entered the waters of Macau, there were strange sounds from the sea. The strange sounds were harsh, attracting many guests to the deck and looking around curiously.
"What's the noise? It's so harsh!"
"Look, why are there so many ships over there?"
"The five-star lotus flag, that seems to be our ship in Macau, right?"
"Not only that, but there is also a Bauhinia flag, and there are also boats from Hong Kong Zhongshi. What happened?"
Not far away, I saw a row of small and medium-sized boats running side by side. There were more than a dozen boats, and they were very powerful.
Most of the guests had never heard such a sound, let alone seen such a scene, and their curiosity was overwhelming.
Sheng Jing has been on the high seas all year round and is in charge of gambling boats, so he is very familiar with things at sea. Isn't this the alarm sound of the broken ship of the Marine Police? He also knows half of those ships, including the Hong Kong and Macao Marine Police, anti-smuggling ships, and several others.
The ship was one he was not very familiar with.
In short, those are official ships, not privately owned.
By chance, the captain came out at this time, and Xing Jing immediately greeted:
"What's going on ahead?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of any maritime operations in Macau recently."
As a captain, he is usually very well-informed about the news at sea, so he just said without even thinking about it:
"Maybe it's a routine inspection. Don't worry, Brother Jing, our ship is completely fine."
"kindness!"
Sing Jing is actually not worried about what problems may arise from this kind of inspection. You must know that their ship belongs to Macau Man. Although Macau Man is not as famous as the Macao He family, both black and white still want to sell him face.
Even the Portuguese group in Macau will talk to him first if something happens instead of arresting people directly.
"The boat in front stalls and stops for inspection!"
Soon, a loud voice came through the loudspeaker.
From what I heard, it seemed that the captain was right, it was indeed an inspection at sea.
This kind of thing happens a lot, everyone who makes a living at sea knows it, and it is not surprising.
The captain didn't care, and immediately returned to the cockpit and ordered the four ships to stop at the same time.
Just as the gambling boat stopped, I saw a dozen kayaks approaching from the row of large boats at the same time.
Some of them were wearing Macau police uniforms, some were Hong Kong Marine Police uniforms, and there were even customs officers, some unknown people in suits and ties.
"Damn it, what happened, Lao Zhang, you didn't catch the wind! With such a large formation, it seems that it is not as simple as a routine inspection. Is there another ship hijacking incident at sea recently?"
Looking in the mirror, I didn't worry, I even started gossiping.
The gossip of Xingjing is not unreasonable. People above usually wait until something happens before they really do anything.
Such a big scene must have happened at sea.
No matter what Jiang Jing thought, the kayak was approaching quickly, and the first thing everyone climbed onto was the boat where Jiang Jing was.
"Sirs, what's going on? This is Mr. Ma's ship."
The captain greeted me with a smile on his face, his words were polite, but they also contained strength.
Three middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties, two wearing suits and one wearing the uniform of a senior police officer of the Hong Kong Municipal Marine Police, immediately stepped forward.
First, the first middle-aged man took out a piece of paper and showed it in front of the captain:
"I am from the Macau Customs. We received a tip saying that you have private cargo on board. This is a search warrant and we request a search of the cabin."
Then, the second middle-aged man also took out a piece of paper and showed it:
"I am from the Immigration Management Department of Gangzhong City. We have received reliable information that your ships are suspected of smuggling foreigners into Gangzhong City. Who is the captain? Come here for review."
Finally, the man wearing the high-level uniform of the Hong Kong Marine Police also spoke up and said righteously:
"Our Hong Kong Municipal Marine Police also received a report that there is a murderer lurking on your ship. Everyone on your ship should come immediately and accept the investigation of our police."
hiss…!
After listening to the speeches of these three people, not only the captain was dumbfounded, but also the provincial mirror next to him, and the punters were even more panicked.
The behavior of the captain and the provincial mirror is easy to understand. Now in Hong Kong and Macao, including the Marine Police, Customs Anti-Smuggling Department, Immigration Department, and almost all the departments that can manage the sea, they all say that there is something wrong with their ship, and the inspection is obvious.
"Looking for trouble" was directed at them.
As mentioned earlier, these four gambling ships have not docked for two years. Since setting sail, the supplies and fuel needed on board have been transported by speedboats.
This is done to keep the boat gambling business going forever.
If it hadn't been for Magiaowen's instructions last time, allowing the captain time to dock and inspect the ship, I'm afraid he wouldn't have returned from the high seas.
Now it is unreasonable to say that they are smuggling and smuggling people!
On the other hand, what the Marine Police said about detecting criminals is relatively reliable. After all, there is no stipulation on the identity of guests in boat gambling. Anyone with money can board the boat to have a try.
"Three sirs, is there any misunderstanding? Our ship has not docked for a long time. How can we be suspected of what you said? Also, we are doing business. The chief of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department should be very
Just be clear."
The captain quickly gave an explanation, and specifically mentioned the one in Macau.
He believes that as long as you are a Macau resident, you will understand how great the benefits of gambling are, and Macau is a place where gambling is allowed and there is no illegality.
Gamblers like them would not be willing to smuggle one person even if it cost them one million.
You must know that they do business every day, and when the business is booming, they can make over 100 million yuan.
"If there is any misunderstanding, we will check it out and it will be clear. What you say does not count. Stop talking nonsense, you are the captain, right? Come here, I have many questions to ask you."
The middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Hong Kong Marine Police obviously did not intend to give face. After a word, he waved and said:
"Check for me. Check everyone carefully to see if there are any wanted criminals."
"Do your work, search the warehouse, search carefully, don't miss every place, be sure to find the private goods!"
The person from the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Macau Customs and the person from the Immigration Management Department of the Hong Kong Comprehensive City waved their hands. Immediately, law enforcement officers from the Bai Lai stormed into the cabin aggressively.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xing Jing carefully walked aside and wanted to make a phone call to Ma Kau Man.
"Bald man, what are you doing? What are you looking at? I mean you, put down the phone and get your ID card!"
A marine policeman from Hong Kong Comprehensive City had a keen eye. He didn't know who Sang Jing was. When he saw that he was sneaking around, he immediately stopped him.
Macau New Era.
Located in the southern suburbs of Macau, this is a high-end villa community that was just built this year. Those who can live here are either business tycoons or influential figures on the road.
Macau gambling tycoon Ma Kau Man also purchased a new villa here.
Although he owns quite a lot of real estate in Macau, he is most satisfied with the latest designs from the 1990s. The fountain landscape and good green environment make Ma Kiaowen feel comfortable.
Since he owned this villa, he has lived here most of the time.
Ma Kau Man is actually not that old, he is only thirty-seven years old this year, but he has a naturally older face and looks much more mature than the average person.
Being able to own several casinos at this age, and still gaining a foothold in Macau under the heavy pressure of He and the Portuguese Group, Ma Kouman is actually very proud of himself.
Whenever he has free time, Ma Kaw Man always buys him a cup of tea, sits on the top floor of the villa, overlooks the scenery of the community, and enjoys the rare tranquility.
Today, he is the same.
Unfortunately, the peace was interrupted by the servant in less than an hour:
"Mr. Ma, your call is from Mr. Sheng."
"kindness!"
Ma Jiaowen was dressed in casual home clothes, lying on a chair, wearing sunglasses, and took the phone leisurely without paying much attention to it.
Sheng Jing was his confidant, managing four gambling boats for him. He would give him a call every now and then to report on his work, or if there was any gambling that he couldn't decide on, it was normal.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Brother Wen, what's wrong, our ship was detained by the Hong Kong and Macao Joint Law Enforcement Team."
Xing Jing's voice was urgent and his words were direct, which was a big deal.
"What do you mean, the Hong Kong and Macao joint law enforcement team?"
Ma Jiaowen was a little confused, because he had never heard of the new term Sing Jing mentioned.
"It's the Anti-Smuggling Department of Macau Customs, the Marine Police of Hong Kong City, and the Immigration Department of Hong Kong City. These three departments jointly enforce the law. For some reason, they stopped our ship as soon as it entered Macau waters and asked for a search!"
"The three departments seemed to be well prepared. They all had search warrants, and the brothers didn't dare to stop them."
Xing Jing explained carefully and said:
"Brother Wen, I suspect someone is trying to trouble us."
"Search just search. I am gambling with a license. It is not illegal. Why do they seize our ship?"
Ma Jiaowen frowned and asked.
Xing Jing's tone was a little helpless, and then explained:
"The Hong Kong Municipal Marine Police found drugs on the ship. The quantity was not large. Some guests may have brought them with them. Seeing that the Marine Police wanted to search them, they casually placed them in the cabin."
"The people from the Immigration Department of Hong Kong Comprehensive City really found a few unidentified guys on the boat. I've seen those guys, they seem to be from Vietnam. Brother Wen, you also know that we opened the door to do
For business, as long as they bring money to the ship, they will receive guests, without even knowing that they have no identity."
"In addition, the immigration department also said that there were witnesses, all of whom were recently caught stowaways. They were from everywhere. There were Filipinos, Thais, and Vietnamese. They all identified that it was our ship that brought them to Hong Kong illegally.
City."
"By the way, the Anti-Smuggling Division of Macau Customs also found some wine in our kitchen. They said it was smuggled goods, and we couldn't get the receipts for the goods."
"Later, after discussion between the three departments, they used several police boats to force us to dock and did not allow us to communicate with the outside world. Now our ship is detained at the customs pier, and all the guests, including the guests, are detained by the port authorities.
The city water police took it back."
"I was also interrogated for several hours. As soon as I was released, I called Brother Wen right away. Brother Wen, what should I do now?"
After hearing this report, Ma Kau Man was shocked. If someone was not plotting against him, it was impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Jiaowen ordered:
"You come over to my villa first. You don't have to do anything. Wait for my news. By the way, just watch the chimney and tell him not to mess around."
Speaking of the chimney, Xing Jing's tone immediately became deeper and he whispered:
"Brother Wen, something happened to my brother."
"What's going on? He's already causing trouble? He's been detained too? Are there any casualties?"
Ma Jiaowen was very aware of Chimney's brainless, arrogant and domineering personality, so he immediately guessed.
These words reminded Xing Jing of his poor brother, and his voice started to sound like tears as he replied:
"He's dead!"
"What?"
Ma Jiaowen was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair and said in disbelief:
"Then what joint law enforcement agencies dare to kill people?"
Sheng Jing quickly explained:
"Brother Wen, they didn't do it. My brother went to Hong Kong Comprehensive Market last night to do business and met a con man who was trying to trick him. He exposed the con man, and the other man became angry and plotted against him."
"Even my people in Majiao Man dare to touch me. Where are they now? Have they been caught?"
Ma Jiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not Bai Dao who did it.
If it was true that Bai Dao committed the murder, then the problem would be huge, and the matter would need to be viewed at least several levels higher.
"The murderer was caught, but not by us. He was arrested by the police from Hong Kong Comprehensive City."
Xing Jing told the truth honestly.
"Hong Kong City Police?"
Ma Jiaowen thought for a moment and said firmly:
"Don't worry, Chimney's death will not be in vain. I will find a way to do this."
"Thank you, Brother Wen!"
Xing Jing knew in his heart that Ma Jiaowen was much more powerful than him, so he could really get the murderer away from the police if he stepped forward.
"We are all brothers, so you don't need to be so polite. Since your brother is dead, you don't have to worry about the casino for these two days and just go to the funeral. Chimney has been with me for so long, and I also hope that he passes away in peace. Wait.
I'll find out more about the boat gambling, and I'll go over there and have a look."
Ma Jiaowen was a pretty good person. After giving these instructions, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xingjing to reply.
He was eager to find out what was going on with the boat gambling and why the customs would seize the boat.
After thinking silently for a while, Ma Jiaowen began to use his energy and dialed the phone continuously.
He first called many senior officials he knew in Macau, but all the answers he received were that he didn't know, and only said that they would help investigate.
Then, he called a business tycoon he knew well, and the other party said he would use his connections to find out more for him.
Finally, Ma Kiao Bo directly called the Macau Customs, a congressman with whom he had a good relationship.
The reply given by the congressman was that even the Customs was not very clear about this matter, but it was an impromptu initiative initiated by Director Ma of the Anti-Smuggling Department.
Director Ma was among those who boarded the ship at that time. I heard that he teamed up with the law enforcement agencies from the port city to launch a so-called "joint law enforcement". As for why this was done, the congressman didn't know.
.
After making more than a dozen phone calls, Ma Kaowen was almost certain that someone was targeting him.
But he was a gambling figure with enemies all over the world. Ma Jiaowen couldn't figure out who did it.
Just when Ma Jiaowen was thinking hard about who was targeting him, the cell phone in front of him rang.
bell……
Ma Kau Man, who had just made several calls, thought that someone was replying to him, so he quickly picked up the phone and said politely:
"Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Ma Sheng, do you still remember me, Lei Yaoyang from Hong Kong Comprehensive City?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was very calm, and he announced his name at the beginning.
"Lei Yaoyang?"
Ma Jiaowen was stunned. This name was familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
But soon, he thought of who it was. Ma Jiaowen's face straightened and he tentatively said:
"God of Gamblers?"
"Ma Sheng still remembers this once-in-a-lifetime fluke."
Lei Yaoyang spoke easily and admitted.
"The supreme glory of the God of Gamblers is the achievement that we ordinary people in the gambling world strive for in our lives. How could I not remember it?"
Ma Jiaowen asked politely:
"I wonder if Lei Sheng gave me any instructions or gave me instructions on Ma Jiaowen?"
"Ma Sheng's words are too serious. He is as bold as Ma Sheng. I, Lei Yaoyang, have always admired him very much. How dare I give you advice, let alone any instructions?"
Lei Yaoyang's words were stinging and he said calmly.
"kindness?"
Ma Jiaowen was also a human spirit. Hearing that Lei Yaoyang's tone was wrong, he immediately said:
"Does Lei Sheng have any misunderstanding about me?"
On the other end of the phone, Lei Yaoyang's tone became deeper and he said with some meaning:
"I heard that Ma Sheng's business has been very good recently. Not only has the traditional gambling industry done well, but it has also developed new businesses. But what Ma Sheng did, isn't it a bit too much? Treat other people's ideas as your own.
It doesn’t make sense, right?”
"Can Lei Sheng make this more clear?"
Ma Kiao Man's tone became solemn. If he still couldn't figure out that his arrest for gambling was probably related to Lei Yaoyang, then he wouldn't have to mess around.
"Hong Kong Municipal Fireworks Festival."
Lei Yaoyang stopped being vague and pointed out the five-character path.
"Fireworks party, what is that? What does Lei Sheng mean by this?"
Ma Jiaowen was confused and asked two questions in a row.
"Ma Sheng's performance is really good. On Ma Sheng's four gambling boats, people openly bet on the winning and losing of fireworks. There are many tricks and countless ways to play. Even I was very tempted after hearing this. Such a brilliant idea, wasn't it only Ma Sheng who came up with it?
Yes."
"What brilliant ideas, what kind of fireworks can you place bets on?"
Ma Jiaowen looked puzzled and said:
"Leisheng, I really don't understand what you are saying."
"Okay, then I'll make it more clear."
Lei Yaoyang said in a serious tone:
"Mr. Ma opened the market on the gambling boat and accepted bets from the "Fireworks Festival" in the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. In just one week, the betting amount has exceeded 100 million. Mr. Ma will not forget such a big business, right?"
"kindness?"
When Ma Jiaowen heard this, he frowned and said calmly:
"Where did this news about Mr. Lei come from? I have never even heard of the fireworks show that Mr. Lei mentioned. As for taking bets at the opening, it is even more nonsense."
"When I start gambling in Ma Kau Man, I have always been unfamiliar with it. In recent years, I haven't developed any new business at all."
"Oh!"
Lei Yaoyang smiled coldly and said:
"Mr. Ma, in addition to being the God of Gamblers, I, Lei Yaoyang, am also a policeman in the Hong Kong Comprehensive City. I have always been fair in my conduct and always focus on evidence!"
"If Mr. Ma has never done it, I will never accuse him unjustly." Also, I can clearly tell Mr. Ma that there was a problem with your gambling boat and it was me who did it. I, Lei Yaoyang, am entrusted by others and am a loyal person.
The matter is, Mr. Ma doesn’t follow morality or the rules of the gambling industry, so now he is just being detained as an appetizer.”
"I will give Mr. Ma 24 hours to find out the whole story and then give me an explanation."
"If the explanation can be passed and my friend can be satisfied, this matter can be cleared up. If Mr. Ma is not sincere and still insists on being tough, then it is no one's fault of me, Lei Yaoyang."
After saying that, Lei Yaoyang hung up the phone directly.
What Lei Yaoyang said is also true.
The reason why Ma Kau Man's boat was seized was the work of the flip-hand members.
The flipping club is now full of talents. After Lei Yaoyang learned that Ma Jiaowen was robbing business, he immediately found three members.
They are the Superintendent of the Marine Police of Hong Kong City, the Director of the Immigration Department of Hong Kong City, and the Director of the Anti-Smuggling Department of Macau Customs.
The three members worked together and immediately sent a powerful force to Ma Jiaowen and seized all four of his ships.
If Ma Kaowen does not give a satisfactory explanation, his four ships will never be able to sail to the high seas again.
Lei Yaoyang has a hundred ways to have his ship confiscated by the government and even be held accountable.
Let’s talk about Macau Man, we finally found the reason why the gambling boat was impounded.
To be honest, the so-called "fireworks party" where betting was received at the opening was really not caused by him.
But Ma Jiaowen also knew that if the God of Gamblers wanted to deal with him, it would be enough to do it openly. There was no need to accuse him of something he had never done as an excuse to attack.
Ma Jiaowen also immediately thought that someone might have done something behind his back.
The gambling boat has always been taken care of by Sheng Jing. Could it be that he colluded with the captain and misbehaved on the boat?
With this idea, Ma Jiaowen looked heavy and did not look for anyone on the gambling boat at all. He now suspected that something was wrong with the boys on the gambling boat.
Picking up the phone, Ma Jiaowen dialed the number of a leading Macau society leader:
"Hey, is this Uncle Ye? I'm Ma Jiaowen."
"Uncle Ye, I need your help with something."
"It's a small matter. I want you to take action and send people to arrest the employees on my gambling ship. I have something to ask them."
"Originally, family scandals should not be made public, but Uncle Ye and I are our own people. I don't care about embarrassing myself in front of Uncle Ye. I suspect they colluded with guest A's money."
"Okay, I'll bother Uncle Ye, I'll send you the information right away."
"OK, I'm waiting for your good news."
Ma Jiaowen was very smart. He did not trust his own people and instead chose to look for outsiders to get things done.
Because he knows that outsiders will definitely work hard for him for the sake of "money", but this may not be the case for his own people.
Sure enough, Uncle Ye was very efficient in doing things. Two hours after Ma Kiao Wen gave out the addresses of many staff members, Uncle Ye had a reply, saying that they had all been arrested.
Ma Kau Man has not been idle for the past two hours. He made various inquiries to find out what the fireworks event was about.
What shocked him even more was that he not only found out about the fireworks show, but also found out that He Daheng had taken the bet at the opening.
The god of gambling Lei Yaoyang said that he was entrusted by someone, and he should have thought that the only person in the gambling world who could invite him to come forward was the Macau He family.
The matter seemed to be in a fog, and Ma Jiaowen cleared it away bit by bit. He also used Uncle Ye as a microphone to ask various questions to the arrested staff members.
Ma Jiaowen's questions were weird. He asked them if they had embezzled money from the casino, and then asked if they had cheated customers. Only in the end did he bring the topic back and asked if there was a new handicap for gambling boats recently, and who ordered it?
of.
The results came out quickly. There was indeed a new handicap on the gambling boat. Isn't it the fireworks show that Lei Yaoyang mentioned?
According to casino employees, the handicap was opened on the order of the provincial government, and it was under the banner of Macau Man.
