The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 265: I’m Capricious Because I’m Rich

The sight of crisp banknotes waving before everyone’s eyes made the muscular man with the thick gold chain unable to help but bug out his eyes.

"Ten thousand yuan... Do you think I’ve never seen money, or what? The chain around my neck alone is worth more than that."

Although the strong man said this, his eyes shone with greed.

"Don’t rush, this money is just for you to find a reason why Zhu Xiaolong would get a minimum of three years. As long as you have the evidence, the money is yours, and for anything extra you want, I won’t bargain."

Lin Fan shook the money in his hand, a move that even made Zhu Zhixuan puzzled. Hadn’t he said these people were swindlers? Why had he suddenly taken out money?

"All right, since you really want to know, I’ll have someone explain it to you properly."

The muscular man turned around and signaled someone behind him with his eyes. The person immediately walked to the Cayenne, opened the rear door, and then a thin man dressed in a police uniform stepped out of the car, coldly watching the crowd with his hands behind his back.

"This is the head of the city bureau’s criminal investigation unit. Do you believe now that Zhu Xiaolong is facing a betrayal of three years? You just said that this money is for inquiring about this news."

The muscular man reached out to grab the money in Lin Fan’s hand but ended up evading him.

"So, if you say he is, he really is? Who doesn’t know that anyone can buy these police uniforms? Are you saying that putting one on makes you the head of the unit? At the very least, you should show me some sort of work ID. Besides, this is all what you’ve said, nothing has been said by the man himself."

"You want to see my work ID?"

The man in the police uniform sized up Lin Fan with a glance.

"Look at it and it’s ten thousand yuan. You can choose not to show it to me."

Lin Fan smiled and shook the money in his hand. It must be said that this thing was definitely more useful than any weapon; men would bend over to see it, women would strip for it.

"Fine. Since you’re so eager to see it, I’ll show you."

After thinking for a moment, the man took out a work ID with a police badge from his pocket and handed it directly to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the work ID, opened it, and inside was the man’s photo and various pieces of information, particularly the words "head of the criminal investigation unit," which made Lin Fan smile and hand over the money to him.

"So, you really are the head of the unit. Then, here’s the money. Now, please explain, what crime did Zhu Xiaolong commit to suddenly face a minimum of three years?"

Holding the man’s work ID, Lin Fan looked at the guy named Zhao Qiyang with a smiley face.

"Some things should not be disclosed to you, but since you’re asking so sincerely, I’ll leak a bit. According to the investigation, Zhu Xiaolong has been gathering people for gambling and he’s the one setting up the games. For such an offense, a minimum of three years is the starting point!"

Zhao Qiyang’s face darkened, but his words made Lin Fan burst out laughing, "Captain Zhao, could there be some sort of misunderstanding here? Everyone knows that the Zhu Family is the poorest in Victory Village. To this day, the family of three still relies on social assistance, and with just those few hundred yuan a month, it’s not even enough for Zhu Xiaolong’s drinking. How could he have the means to be a bookie? If he really is charged with this crime, then I think there must be some mistake, and rather than spending two thousand yuan to get a lawyer, it should be enough to reverse the case."

Lin Fan’s words brought Zhu Zhixuan’s parents back to their senses: "Yes, Xiaolong doesn’t have money to be a bookie. Even if he does play cards, it’s just for small change. The last time he owed someone one hundred yuan, he was beaten up. Captain, there’s definitely something wrong. We don’t have the money for him to gamble."

"Are you doubting our police’s ability to handle a case?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qiyang’s complexion changed instantly as he assumed an angry look, and indeed, this made the old couple quickly shut their mouths. They wouldn’t dare to voice such doubts.

"Mom, Dad, can you please not make things worse? How could Captain Zhao possibly make a mistake? My brother must have done something wrong to be sentenced. Now is the time to figure out how to save my brother. We should listen to what Captain Zhao has to say."

Zhu Xiaohu immediately spoke up, and seeing this, the old couple didn’t dare to speak any further.

"Yes, let’s hear what Captain Zhao has to say. After all, the source of the money is probably the key issue. Even if it’s about gathering people to gamble, it’s just a one-year starting point. Could it be that Zhu Xiaolong’s money for being a bookie has an illicit source?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhao Qiyang with a smile, and his words actually made the latter crack a smile, "That’s right, this involves detailed case information which is inconvenient to disclose, but since you’ve all guessed, I’ll tell you. Zhu Xiaolong’s money for being a bookie is also involved in robbery and smuggling. So, when you put these cases together, a minimum of three years is an understatement."

"Did you hear that? My brother is even involved in robbery and smuggling; he’s really in trouble this time."

After hearing these words, Zhu Xiaohu looked at his parents anxiously, "So you see, this time Brother Huo has asked Captain Zhao to take the case, and my brother is definitely going to be sentenced. Mom and Dad, I’ve done my best as a brother. Whether my brother can be saved is up to you now."
