Chapter 143 Gambler
Chapter 143: Gambler
Lu Ping's eyelids jumped when he heard this.

He turned around, silently glanced at Zhao Ping standing outside the inquiry room, and then asked in a low voice:
"What's the problem? Please report it in detail."
From the earphones, there was a sound of turning pages, as if the person on the other end was looking for information.
Soon, the investigating police officer responded.
[Deputy Director Lu, when we were just preparing for the inquiry, we teamed up with the police team that went to investigate the deceased’s social relations. 】
[After four hours of investigation, they basically figured out the identity and family relationship of the deceased. 】
[The deceased, named Zhao Sihai, was 30 years old. He was laid off by the company a year ago due to the downturn in the industry. He is currently unemployed. His parents are retirees and work part-time as housekeepers. 】
"Judging from existing records, this group of people is usually a group with a high incidence of social revenge cases."
Lu Ping commented pertinently:
"He's in a bad situation."
[Maybe a little worse. 】
The investigating police officer in the wireless headset spoke and followed Lu Ping's words:
[We found out that Zhao Sihai’s account had multiple abnormal deductions two months after he was laid off. Then with the technical support of comrades from the Internet Police, we locked the whereabouts of the deductions. 】
[That is an online gambling website. 】
Lu Ping couldn't help but frowned when he heard the news.
The investigating police officer continued:
[Zhao Sihai... seemed to want to make quick money through evil means, but he ended up losing a lot. 】
[At least according to our limited investigation, his parents have lost all their savings, even incurred a lot of debt, and the property is also under mortgage. 】
[However, Zhao Sihai still did not stop, dreaming of getting back the money he lost one day. 】
"All gamblers think that, and it's the most hopeless idea."
Lu Ping said.
During his ten years in the police station, he had seen dozens of people like this, and they all lost their money and couldn't stop.
After losing, they will borrow money, and after relatives finish borrowing, they will borrow money at usury.
Because of this, there are many examples of families being destroyed and people killed. The fact that gambling can be compared to drugs is enough to illustrate the problem.
"So...he hasn't stopped, so where does his money come from?"
Lu Ping asked in a low voice.
[Deputy Director Lu, this is the problem and why I came to you. 】
The police officer in charge of the investigation said:
[We investigated the deceased’s mobile phone. You know, the accounts of gamblers like this have basically been blocked by all his relatives. 】
[But we still recognized a familiar number from it. 】
[It’s Zhao Ping. 】
[Deputy Director Lu, the deceased Zhao Sihai is a relative of Zhao Ping. In the past three months, the deceased has continuously borrowed money from Zhao Ping and even threatened him at his door. 】
[And now, this guy is dead...]
"This also means that Zhao Ping no longer has to endure his harassment."
Lu Ping put down the hand holding the earphones and nodded slightly.
The investigating officer did a great job and this was the information he needed most.
This is also a reasonable motive for killing... Lu Ping turned around and said to the police officer in charge of hearing the news:
"Bring Zhao Ping in."
The interrogating officer nodded and walked out the door.
Within half a minute, Zhao Ping walked in with a reserved look on his face and asked him to sit behind the iron table.
After all, he has been a bachelor for many years and is used to living alone. Being watched by so many people for a while made him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Zhao Ping, please relax, we are just asking questions and getting some information."
Zhao Ping nodded, and Ge You collapsed on the iron chair.
Police officer:······
"Ahem, don't be so relaxed, it makes us look like minions."
Lu Ping, who was standing behind the police officer who heard the news, joked, and then said seriously:
"Zhao Ping, let me ask you, what were you doing at nine thirty-five last night?"
"Nine thirty-five..."
Zhao Ping touched the back of his head, thought hard, and said:
"I don't really look at watches. At that time, I should have just returned home from a walk at the Shirogane City Chess Academy and was staying at home."
"You said you were at home, can anyone confirm this?"
Lu Ping asked.
Zhao Ping shook his head:
"I just stay at home alone. I guess no one can confirm it. My neighbor across the street may have seen it, but I'm not sure."
"good."
Lu Ping glanced at the police officer beside him who heard the news.
The latter is recording the contents of the conversation for reference during the day.
"Zhao Ping, let's get straight to the point."
Lu Ping reached out and handed the photo that the police officer had just handed him to Zhao Ping.
"Last night, a murder occurred in the bungalow area on the edge of the old city."
"I think you know this deceased person..."
Zhao Ping took the photo doubtfully.
After just one glance, he looked horrified, stood up from the chair with a swoosh, and exclaimed:
"Zhao Sihai is dead?!"
"Zhao Ping, sit down."
Lu Ping reminded him loudly.
The questioning police officers looked over together. Zhao Ping felt an invisible pressure, calmed down a lot, and sat back obediently.
Lu Ping then said:
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid he won't be able to repay the money you lent him before."
"Why······"
After hearing Lu Ping's words, Zhao Ping sighed and smiled helplessly:
"Comrade police, I know what you mean. I have been entangled by Zhao Sihai for at least three months. I am suspected and I cannot get rid of him."
Lu Ping replied:
“Until a determination is made, we still adhere to the principle of acquitting the suspect beyond reasonable doubt.”
"So Zhao Ping, you'd better think carefully about whether anyone can prove that you were at home at nine thirty-five."
"I'm really not sure."
Zhao Ping was a little anxious and said angrily:
"Oh, if I had known I should have listened to the old men in the courtyard and played chess with them, so that I could be proven..."
"This is an inquiry. There is no need to say anything unnecessary."
Lu Ping walked away from the iron table.
"Zhao Ping, you should go and take a rest first, but please understand that we have to ask you and Chen Kang to stay in the police station for a while."
Zhao Ping nodded.
He then followed the police officer out of the interview room.
······
"Deputy Lu, how are you feeling?"
In the task force office, Zhen Haolin looked at the whiteboard and asked:
"I just read the inquiry report. It seems that Chen Kang is an outsider and has nothing to do with it, while Zhao Ping is very suspicious."
"Xiao Zhen, don't be so sure..."
Deputy Director Lu Ping leaned on the edge of the table and said:
"After being a police officer for sixteen years, the most experience I have accumulated is that the initial appearance of things is often overturned."
"Intuitively, I don't think these two people are that simple..."
"Besides, there are other doubts about this case."
Gan Qi interrupted the leader and said:
"I have just arranged for people to investigate the source of the clothes on the deceased, especially the outrageous red down jacket. The results may be available later."
"It's definitely not normal to hang yourself while wearing a down jacket on a hot day."
