After unlocking the phone, Zhang Haitao immediately dialed his wife's phone number.

"Daughter-in-law, do you still have the three checks I gave you last time?"

"Cheque……"

Zhang Haitao used speakerphone when making the call, so Zhang Chaoyang could hear what the other party said.

This is also according to the procedure and must be so.

Zhang Haitao's daughter-in-law hesitated: "Which check are you talking about?"

"I don't remember clearly."

"It's the check you asked me for four months ago!"

"You prodigal, did you give money to your brother again?"

Zhang Haitao's tone suddenly became excited: "Did he go gambling again?"

"Say it quickly!"

"Did you give him the check again?"

"What are you yelling about?"

"I just gave the money to my brother. Why, you feel bad when I spend some money on you?"

"Have you forgotten how you started your business?"

"Without my dad, how could you be where you are today?"

Zhang Haitao's flushed face changed erratically, and it took him a long while before he let out a long breath.

"Daughter-in-law, it's my fault..."

"Let's put this aside, did you really give the check to your brother?"

"Give it, three checks, all of them!"

Zhang Chaoyang frowned and looked at Zhang Haitao: "Ask your wife what his brother did with the check."

Zhang Chaoyang's voice was loud and Zhang Haitao's wife on the other end of the phone had already heard it.

"Haitao...where are you?"

"You loser, don't care where I am!"

"You killed me this time. Tell me, what did Tang Xiaoshan do with the check?"

"Where is he now?"

"He, he..." Zhang Haitao's daughter-in-law was nothing, so she naturally sensed that something was wrong: "He went gambling again, lost money and borrowed money from usury."

"I don't know who it is specifically. He should be at home now. I just made a video call with him..."

The phone hangs up.

Zhang Haitao immediately revealed the address of his brother-in-law: "My brother-in-law, Tang Xiaoshan, lives in the Family Courtyard of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources on Taiping South Road."

"My father-in-law's old house, Room 202, Unit 3, Building 1."

Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Family Home?

It seems that Zhang Haitao's father-in-law should work in the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.

No wonder Zhang Haitao's daughter-in-law said that Zhang Haitao is where he is today thanks to her father.

Those engaged in the mining machinery business are indeed more likely to make a fortune if they have someone in the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.

"Start immediately to capture Tang Xiaoshan!"

Zhang Chaoyang personally took action and the arrest of Tang Xiaoshan went smoothly.

When Zhang Chaoyang led the arrest team to Room 202, Unit 3, Building 1, the Family Courtyard of the Bureau of Geology and Minerals on Taiping Road, Tang Xiaoshan was drinking.

"Who are you...?"

When he opened the door and saw Zhang Chaoyang and others in full armor, Tang Xiaoshan was so frightened that he peed his pants.

"I didn't commit any crime! I really didn't commit any crime!"

…

Interrogation room of the Third Detective Team.

"Cheque?"

Knowing that Zhang Chaoyang asked about the check four months ago, Tang Xiaoshan took a deep breath.

"This is what you are talking about. If you had told me earlier, you would have scared me..."

Snap!

The sound of Zhang Chaoyang slapping the table startled Tang Xiaoshan.

"Tang Xiaoshan!"

"You think this is a small matter?"

"We found those three checks in the pocket of a dead body at noon today."

"We now suspect that the owner of the check killed the victim."

"Tell me honestly, after your sister gave you three checks, who did you give the checks to, and why did they appear in the deceased's trouser pocket?"

"Dead?"

Tang Xiaoshan suddenly turned extremely pale and his eyes widened.

"Officer! I didn't kill anyone!"

"Then that... that check is none of my business."

"After my sister gave me the check, I gave the check to someone else. It had nothing to do with me."

"Who did you give it to? Why did you give it to someone else?"

"Four months ago..."

It turned out that four months ago, Tang Xiaoshan was tricked in an underground casino in Xishan and lost more than two million.

"They knew my brother-in-law was rich, so they teamed up to set a trap for me."

"At the beginning, they deliberately lost to me and let me win about one million."

"But in a few games, I lost more than a million that I originally won."

"I lost all the more than 300,000 yuan I had."

"We were playing fried gold. At that time, I didn't have a penny on me, but here came a leopard!"

"Three to eight!"

"That's a leopard, kill him!"

"Because I didn't have any money, I borrowed money from a loan shark on the spot."

"In the end, I borrowed a million dollars in loan shark interest."

"But I am a leopard with three numbers and eights, but the other party is three numbers with ten!"

"Later, I won another hundreds of thousands, and then big names came again!"

"This time I borrowed two million with a high interest rate."

"As a result, I have three jacks and my opponent has three queens!"

"That's when I realized that I was deceived and they teamed up to deceive me."

"But there is a way. I borrowed a loan at a high interest rate. If I didn't pay back the money, they would chop off my leg."

"The next day, I went to see my sister. She knew I was gambling, but she wouldn't give me any money."

"I had no choice but to take advantage of her cooking and found the three checks in her bedroom!"

"I gave the check directly to the loan shark."

"Those are three checks with a limit of one million, which is enough to cover the money I borrowed."

"Because they teamed up to make me lose money and borrow loan sharks. The other party and the loan sharks were both in the same group, so there was no discussion about interest. I gave them three million and they let me go."

"What's the name of the loan shark company?"

"Relieve worries!"

"Jieyou Small Loan Service Company."

"Their boss's name is Jin Tiancheng!"

In the conference room, Zhang Chaoyang was reporting the situation.

"Currently, the clues of the three checks found in the deceased's trouser pocket point to a small loan service company called Jieyou, and the owner is named Jin Tiancheng."

"Our people are checking the background of this small loan company."
