Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

Upon hearing this...

"Old Zhang."

Teacher Huang sat on the wooden chair, leaning slightly forward.

Seeing the police officers across from him preparing to leave, he quickly tried to persuade them to stay.

His tone conveyed a warm hospitality, but more than that, it revealed a sense of reluctance to leave without having fully displayed his knowledge.

"You're leaving already?"

"What case is so urgent?"

He reached out and pointed with his chopsticks to the several plates of steaming farm-style stir-fried dishes on the table, continuing to persuade them.

"Let's do it after we eat."

"You've only eaten half your meal. How can you handle cases for the people on an empty stomach?"

Faced with Teacher Huang's earnest attempt to persuade him to stay...

At the dining table.

Old Zhang was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and then revealed, "This matter is still related to Old Niu Tou."

The sound echoed under the pavilion, sounding somewhat muffled.

"That old buddy of mine actually went to the provincial capital to gamble."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The atmosphere in the pavilion instantly quieted down.

A gentle breeze rustled through the grapevines.

Teacher He, holding a soup spoon in his hand and still in the posture of ladling soup, was completely stunned.

Pengpeng opened his mouth wide, not even bothering to chew the piece of potato he had just put in his mouth.

Teacher Huang's eyes widened in surprise.

Those shrewd eyes were filled with astonishment.

He never expected this.

The matter that made Lao Zhang hurriedly put down his rice bowl to deal with this time was actually related to the old ox-head at the entrance of the village.

Moreover, it was such a big deal as gambling in the provincial capital.

To know.

Just two days ago, this old man was arrested by Lao Zhang and his team for gambling in the village.

How come you've suddenly moved to a big city like the provincial capital?

He ignored the astonished reactions of the crowd.

Old Zhang frowned.

The deep wrinkles that creased his face revealed his inner anxiety.

He lowered his head.

He placed his hands on his waist and straightened his police belt, which had become slightly crooked due to his sitting posture.

The body camera and walkie-talkie clips on the device were then straightened.

Then.

Old Zhang stood up.

The chair made a soft sound as it rubbed against the bluestone slab.

He looked at Teacher Huang, his tone becoming very serious.

"I need to inform his family."

"There are still some things that require their cooperation."

As he spoke, Old Zhang held his police cap in his hand, ready to leave at any moment.

in fact.

I was just on the phone with a colleague from the provincial capital.

The information provided over the phone was far more astonishing than he was telling us.

Police in the provincial capital raided a sizable underground casino there.

Old Bull Head was captured during that operation.

The key is.

That old man who would spend ages scrimping and saving even a one-yuan bet in the village.

He actually won nearly several hundred thousand dollars in cash at that upscale underground casino.

but.

Old Zhang did not specify the details of Old Niu's involvement in the case.

He is a veteran police officer who has worked his way up from the bottom at the grassroots level for thirty years.

They were fully aware of the seriousness of maintaining confidentiality in police work.

not to mention.

He had already caught a glimpse of the camera flashing red light in the corner of the yard out of the corner of his eye.

After all, this is being broadcast live.

Tens of thousands of netizens are watching this.

Once he revealed everything about how Old Bull had been dominating the casinos in the provincial capital.

It went viral online.

Who knows what outrageous versions will be circulated about it.

Therefore, you absolutely cannot reveal too much in front of the camera.

They could only use such vague wording to explain their whereabouts.

"That old bull is really a handful."

"I can't help but shake my head," said Officer Zhang.

His tone was full of disappointment and frustration.

As the local police officer in charge of this area.

Seeing his fellow villagers, whom he had watched grow old, go astray, he felt a tightness in his chest.

The people at the dinner table then came to their senses from their shock.

I heard that remark earlier.

"yes."

Teacher Huang sat on the wooden chair and picked up the conversation.

"Why doesn't that old ox learn from his mistakes?"

He shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

On that slightly chubby face, his brows were furrowed slightly.

He looked heartbroken.

He looked like an elder who was concerned about the country and its people and felt saddened by the decline of his fellow villagers.

But in fact.

Teacher Huang was making plans in her mind.

This was a golden opportunity for him.

To know.

Last night, Officer Zhang took him back to the police station in a police car.

Although it was eventually found out to be a false alarm, it was simply because he loved to boast and showed off a few theories in front of the old men.

This morning, they also politely sent me back.

but.

The impact of this incident on the internet is very real.

The news that he was taken away in the middle of the night had already been trending on social media.

I wonder how many haters are mocking him behind his back.

His illustrious image has also been significantly affected.

just now.

The fact that Lao Niu Tou was actually involved in illegal and criminal activities has been exposed.

With this stark negative example as a contrast.

As long as you operate it properly.

That way, you can perfectly wash away the embarrassment of last night and rebuild a positive image of yourself with high moral character in front of the audience.

As Teacher Huang was speaking.

His eyes darted around.

Taking advantage of this topic, he didn't forget to use the opportunity to promote himself.

He straightened his back.

I cleared my throat to make my voice sound louder and clearer.

"Just like me."

Teacher Huang pointed to her chest with her thumb.

"Last time it was because I thought Old Bull and his gang were gambling movie enthusiasts."

"I talked to them about gambling techniques."

"This resulted in a misunderstanding."

He made no attempt to hide that dark period of his history.

They even deliberately made going to the police station sound very casual.

"Then they were taken to the police station and spent the night there."

Speaking of it.

Teacher Huang's tone became extremely solemn.

"I learned my lesson after that."

"I firmly oppose topics that could have a negative influence."

"We haven't pulled any more of these kinds of tricks."

Done.

He then glanced smugly at the camera next to him.

His eyes held a hint of self-satisfaction, as if he wanted to show off how enlightened he was.

He was very satisfied with his self-reflection.

He felt that his words were absolutely flawless.

This not only distanced them from the relationship but also demonstrated their social responsibility as public figures.

It will definitely win back the favor of netizens.

At this time.

Li Mo'an sat on the other side of the dining table.

His handsome face remained calm.

He didn't react much to Teacher Huang's self-aggrandizing remarks.

but.

The moment Lao Zhang mentioned Lao Niu Tou going to the provincial capital to gamble.

Li Mo'an's brain began to work at lightning speed.

He was reminded of the scene that day when Uncle Niu hurriedly boarded the bus.

That was just two days ago.

The afternoon sun was intense.

Heat waves rolled down the dirt roads of Mushroom Village.

He stood outside the courtyard wall.

I clearly remember every movement and expression of Old Bull Head at that time.

That old man who was always slow.

At the time, he was carrying a faded canvas bag and had his arms tightly wrapped around his chest.

They walked along the wall like thieves.

When you call out to the other person.

Uncle Niu was so frightened that he jumped in fright.

When he turned around, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, his eyes were darting around, and he didn't dare to look into his own eyes.

As soon as they saw the bus arrive, they rushed onto it without hesitation.

original.

Li Mo'an was only somewhat confused about that matter and did not delve into it.

After all, it's common for elderly people to go out to visit relatives.

But now.

Combine Uncle Niu's panicked behavior at the time with the gambling news that Lao Zhang brought today.

"So, what Uncle Niu was protecting in his canvas bag was his gambling money for the trip to the provincial capital."

Such a thought came to his mind.

No wonder he was so nervous and covered in cold sweat.

"He's definitely afraid of being discovered by the villagers, and even more afraid of his hot-tempered son finding out."

"only......"

Li Mo'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

He continued to mentally analyze the details.

"Judging from Uncle Niu's usual personality, he's just someone who plays cards casually at the edge of the village."

How could someone suddenly have the audacity to take their money and gamble in a completely unfamiliar place like the provincial capital?

Behind this.

"It must have been due to some kind of intense stimulus."

Or perhaps he felt he had gained some kind of invincible advantage in a short period of time.

Thinking of this.

He suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

But it's so hard to guess, what could be the reason?

He now really wishes he were a very strange person, a strange person whose magical brain circuits would allow him to guess right on the first try.
