New Gods of North America

The next stop is to follow the ready-made content in the file and look for clues in the casino frequented by the victim.

It was not yet dark, and the casino was not at its busiest.

However, the casino is not well ventilated, so it still looks dark and smoky.

The casino manager is obviously not as easy to fool as the one in the bar.

After Wayne said again that they were private detectives, the other party followed up with a question:

"Which detective agency?"

Wayne made up something casually, "Wayne Detective Agency."

“Never heard of it.”

The casino manager waved his hand, and several strong men nearby came over and said, "Give them a good beating, and let them know not to come again next time. Otherwise, it will affect our business."

The other side formed an encirclement formation while advancing forward.

The muzzle of a double-barreled shotgun was exposed nearby, and someone was about to poke it into Wayne's face.

Strictly speaking, this casino is located in Kansas, so Wayne just dodged a little and showed off his little talent to the other party.

A penny is tossed upward.

Then two shots fired, and the coin jumped twice in the air.

The manager saw that Wayne and his men were not pushovers, so he waved his hand and asked his men to stop moving forward:

"Go away. You are not welcome here."

So a human wall stood there.

Wayne and the others looked at each other and felt that they probably couldn't reach an agreement here, but it wasn't to the point where they would really feed bullets to each other.

I can only leave temporarily.

I didn't expect that the other party was actually a "law-abiding citizen".

Wayne and his friends had just left the casino not far away when a casino employee who looked vaguely familiar called the patrolling police over.

The patrol officers approached with guns drawn.

Fierce and loud voice:

"How dare you shoot randomly in the city? You three, come with us."

Wayne also understands the law:

"Kansas has no law prohibiting public carrying and shooting of guns. And you are the police officers of Kansas City in Missouri. The laws over there do not apply to this side of the state line."

The leading police officer on the opposite side did not make any comment and had an ambiguous attitude, but the police officer following him was still shouting:

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's in compliance with the law. Put your hands up and turn around!"

As he spoke, he moved the gun closer and closer.

Big spider Peter slipped quietly from under Lina's wavy blonde hair.

Wayne sighed, raised his hand slightly, and decided to use courtesy before force:

"Mr. Officer, I have an authorized investigation warrant on me. If you allow me, I can take it out and show it to you."

"What kind of bullshit investigation order is this? I've never heard of it."

The following officer cocked the hammer on his gun and moved closer.

"That's right! You are obviously outsiders who want to cause trouble." The casino's men echoed.

After hearing this, the leading police officer signaled them to stop for a while.

At the same time, he made a "please" gesture to Wayne.

A warrant of investigation was handed over, and then it was launched.

The other party glanced at it casually at first, and then his eyes suddenly focused on the signature on the paper.

Then the leading police officer,

He read the investigation order again from beginning to end, then pulled back the other police officer who had stepped forward, and smiled at Wayne:

"No problem. Our police force will assist you in your investigation."

"What?!" X2

One of the accompanying police officers reacted quickly, turned around and sternly said to the casino staff:

"Did you hear that? Go back and tell them to cooperate with the investigation!"

…

After returning to the casino, Wayne and his friends were invited to a private room.

Someone even delivered whiskey to hand.

The casino manager sat on the short sofa next to him, with a kind attitude and reserved words:

"Which detective agency did you guys say you were from? Wayne Detective Agency?"

"right."

Wayne responded and casually enriched the setting, "Wayne National Detective Agency. It is a law-abiding private organization that assists relevant departments in handling cases. It is specifically responsible for assisting in the investigation of various interstate cases."

Wayne deliberately mentioned "interstate\

,"This is to prevent the "law-abiding citizen" on the other side from suddenly using the boomerang of the law to hit him in the face.

The other party seemed to sit up straighter:

"I wonder if there is anything that requires our cooperation?"

Wayne didn't act pretentiously. "Let's talk about Luke. I heard that he visited your place last night?"

The casino manager showed a slightly resentful expression:

"Yes, Luke did come last night. And he lost a lot of money, just like before."

The manager waved his hand and one of his men handed over a few banknotes:

"Look, sir. We were all trying to find him today, but who knew he had died last night."

Banknotes these days,

They were all printed by the banks themselves, the shapes and sizes were not exactly the same, and the anti-counterfeiting measures were far less advanced than those in later generations.

But the few that were handed over,

It's obviously fake.

Although it looks like that,

However, after I got my hands on it and twisted it slightly, I realized that it was impossible for a $10 banknote to be made of such thin and low-quality paper.

A closer look revealed that the ink printing did not stand up to scrutiny.

The steward seemed to be somewhat self-deprecating:

“When the casino is busy, it is impossible to check every bet on the spot.

"Luke was a regular customer before, and he never played big games that required exchanging chips. He only liked to play with cash bets. He also had a little money from time to time, so the dealer was a little careless.

“We discovered the problem when we did our inventory this morning.”

Wayne handed the banknotes to Inissa and Lina. As soon as Lina touched them, she realized that they were counterfeits.

Lina seemed to feel the same way.

I felt deeply sorry, but at the same time I looked at it again and again as if I had a chance, gnashing my teeth softly:

"Those who make counterfeit money to cheat people are the most despicable."

"yes."

The manager nodded in agreement, "So everyone, although we also want to settle accounts with Luke, his death has nothing to do with our casino. We are also victims.

"At the same time, we also don't want the news to spread and let others associate our casino with 'using counterfeit money', so I didn't want to mention it before."

“That’s understandable.”

Wayne agreed politely.

At this time, someone called the manager out.

Then when he came back, he asked Wayne and the others whether they had finished checking the counterfeit banknotes, and said that the casino would take back the counterfeit banknotes and destroy them.

Wayne thought for a moment.

While turning back and reaching out to Lina, he winked quietly.

Lina understood.

With a slight flip of the fingertips, a counterfeit bill was secretly hidden.

Then Wayne and the others asked some other questions about "Luke".

Basically, there is nothing new to discover. We only know that the victim did have some "extra income" from time to time.
