Chapter 3459 There Is a Way to Escape
In less than five minutes, Oyamaya contacted someone who could speak to the Sumiyoshi Association's big boss - the former manager of a trust company under the Tsubame Group.
On the way to the target street, Chi Feichi talked on the phone with the manager of the trust company.
"Consultant, Mr. Dashan said that you have something to ask me. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"
"Do you know the street where Ji'an Real Estate Company is located?"
"Ji'an Real Estate Company...ah, I know where it is! Most of the properties on that street are owned by the Sumiyoshi Club. The big boss of the Sumiyoshi Club hosted me for dinner there before!"
"Building 15 on that street," Chi Feichi asked about the location marked by Conan, "is it also a Sumiyoshi-kai property?"
"Yes, that building is also the property of the Sumiyoshi Kai." The manager of the trust company paused and softened his voice. "I heard that there is an underground casino owned by the Sumiyoshi Kai there..."
"Underground casino?" Chi Feichi asked, "Are you sure?"
When the manager of the trust company asked Chi Feichi specifically, he stopped being vague, "At the beginning of this year, the Sumiyoshi Kai leader invited me to have dinner on that street. When we were eating in the restaurant, he told me that the 15th They had a newly renovated casino downstairs and invited me to play there for a while, but my wife suddenly felt unwell that day and I was in a hurry to go home and take my wife to the hospital, so I turned him down.”
"Is that casino still open?"
"I don't know this..."
"Can you help me find out? In order to avoid trouble, I hope you will not reveal my identity to them. Just say that your nephew has just returned from abroad and is interested in these things. He wants to go and see it tonight..."
"No problem, I will keep it secret for you, then... I will call you now to find out the news."
"Although it's not good to rush, I still want to get the results as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will give you an accurate answer within half an hour!"
"I'm sorry to bother you, please contact me immediately if you have any news."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi looked at the time displayed on his phone and put the phone into his coat pocket.
Conan sat in the passenger seat and asked aloud, "Brother Chi, you just mentioned the underground casino. Is the place we are going to an underground casino run by Sumiyoshi Kai?"
"That's right," Chi Feichi said, "but the manager doesn't know if it's still open for business there. I've asked him to find out."
"I remember Officer Megure said before that the robber gang that my uncle was undercover also robbed an underground casino last year, right?" Conan said thoughtfully, "Underground casinos will collect a lot of cash during the operating period, and gambling is illegal. Behavior, if an underground casino is robbed, the robbed guests and casino operators will worry about being held accountable by the police after calling the police. As long as the loss is not large, they will not choose to report the crime. Even if the casino operator wants to report the crime, the casino guests will not 80% will not come forward to help testify, so that gang of robbers may have robbed underground casinos more than once. It was only last year that they killed someone during the robbery, which made the police pay attention to their gang of robbers. In other words, if The burned map in the trash can is related to the robber gang. The robber gang is probably targeting the underground casino again this time. Their target is the casino Sumiyoshi will run on that street... Tonight, the underground casino should be Will be open for business!”
Twenty minutes later, the car drove to the street near its destination and parked on the side of the road.
Conan used his mobile phone to send an email to Mumu Shisan, reminding Mumu Shisan that the bandit gang might attack the underground casino. The rhetoric he used was naturally, 'Brother Chi asked me to tell you.'
Soon, the manager of the trust company called Chi Feichi and told him that the casino was still open and that he had obtained the invitation letter for Chi Feichi.
When he learned that Chi Feichi was going to bring a child in, the manager of the trust company hesitated and reminded implicitly, "Consultant, is it not a good idea to bring a child to a place like that?"
"It's okay." Chi Feichi noticed that Conan put his head close to the phone and glanced at Conan, "I'm just taking the children to satisfy their curiosity. I won't stay in the casino for too long."
"This... Okay, let me tell the other party not to stop their bodyguards from stopping you," the manager of the trust company said implicitly, "Also, although you are just curious to visit, gambling is illegal after all. If you are The police discovered that the police may not believe that you just went to have a look. In order to prevent your reputation from being damaged, I can ask the other party to make some special arrangements, such as receiving you upstairs. If there is an accident, the casino bodyguard can also be there It’s safer to protect you and leave for a while, what do you think?”
"But I want to visit a lively place. If I leave the crowd, the visit will be meaningless," Chi Feichi said. "As for the police, you don't have to worry. Even if the police raid the casino, I will have a way to escape."
"Since you are prepared, I don't have to worry about it," the person in charge of the trust company asked proactively, without further ado, "Where should I send the invitation letter?"
"Send it to a nearby garden hotel..."
Chi Feichi agreed with the person in charge of the trust company on the place and method of handing over the invitation letter. He hung up the phone and called the Garden Hotel to book a room. He took Conan nearby to buy two dresses and went to the Garden Hotel room. I changed into my dress inside and waited for the invitation to be delivered.
According to the trust company manager, the casino will open at 8 o'clock tonight, and the location is Building 15. Enter from the side door. Since the guests received by the casino are all rich people or people with a certain social status, every guest needs to wear formal clothes to enter.
At the same time, the casino does not allow guests to bring guns, knives, and cameras into the casino. Before entering, they need to check the invitation letter and undergo security checks. Prohibited items are deposited at the door. There will be a mobile phone signal blocker in the room.
After the guests officially enter, they can ask the waiter to provide them with some free food and drinks, or they can specify some expensive food or drinks, but they need to pay separately...
"Has the manager really never been to that casino?" Conan stood in the hotel room, straightened the small bow tie on his dress, and whispered in a speechless voice, "He obviously knows it very well..."
"Don't worry about it," Chi Feichi also adjusted his dress coat, "After all, we will go to the casino later."
Article 185 of the Japanese Criminal Law clearly stipulates that gambling is an illegal act.
However, there are some supplements in the law regarding "gambling". Officially organized betting such as horse racing and boat racing is not considered gambling. In addition, entertainment activities without direct money transactions are not considered gambling.
For example, when friends and relatives get together to play mahjong or poker, as long as they do not bet with money, it is not gambling.
For example, playing small steel balls, guests do have to spend money to play the small steel ball machine, but the guests win physical prizes, so there is no direct money transaction, so playing small steel balls is a legal entertainment activity. As for whether the guests go to another store to exchange cash after winning the physical prizes, the law does not care...
The casinos operated by these gangster organizations certainly do not have legal projects such as horse racing and small steel balls, but some gambling projects that are not allowed by law, including but not limited to roulette, dice, poker and other gambling games, and the daily gambling money flow is a large amount. Guests who enter such places are violating the law.
If the trust company manager admits that he has been to that casino, doesn’t it mean that he has admitted that he has committed a crime?
It would be fine if the two sides talked about it when they met privately, but they were communicating on the phone just now, and the phone can be recorded. Everyone will definitely be more careful and will not casually admit that they have committed crimes.
"Our going to the casino is different from their going to the casino," Conan thought of what Chi Feichi had said before, and joked, "Because even if there is a police raid, we have a way to get out~"
"Buzz..."
The phone on the table vibrated.
Chi Feichi picked up the phone and answered the call. The manager on the other end of the phone said that the invitation letter had been sent to the hotel. He reported his room number and asked the other party to put the invitation letter at the hotel front desk.
Conan called Megure Jusan and learned that the police had also found a channel to get the invitation letter and were preparing to send someone to sneak into the casino. He was relieved and went to the front desk on the first floor with Chi Feichi to get the invitation letter.
When leaving, Conan did not forget to explain in a low voice, "If Officer Megure knew that we were going to sneak into the casino, he would definitely not agree, so I didn't tell him that we got the invitation letter..."
