Jill is a rich but stingy, scheming man. One day, Jill was drinking under the shade of a tree in the backyard when a man suddenly broke in from outside. When he looked closely, Jill laughed, held his glass and said, "Oh, it's Brother Mato, who came to me in a hurry. Come and drink with me? Come, come, let's have a drink together, I'm worried that drinking alone is boring."

  Mato smiled, shook his head and said, "Brother Jill, I'm here uninvited, of course I'm not begging you for a drink, I'm begging you in a hurry, please help me."

  Jill put down his glass and said, "It's not begging for a drink, isn't it borrowing money from me?"

  Mato gave a thumbs up and complimented: "You're so smart, I just came to borrow money from you. To be honest with you, I was gambling with a few people just now, and I lost a mess, and I didn't even have a dime on me. But, I'm not convinced, I want to turn over the book and win back the money I just lost. So, I'm asking you for help, please lend me money, and let me go back and fight those people to the death, I don't believe I can't win them."

  Jill was secretly delighted, thought for a while, and said, "You know, I like money very much, and of course I am happy to borrow money. However, if you ask me to borrow money, you have to pay attention to the return."

  Mato quickly took over the conversation and said, "I know, I know, I will give you high interest, several times higher than the bank's interest, and you will definitely get the highest return."

  Jill rolled his eyes a few times, then laughed, took Mato by his side, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Today, I don't want that, I just want to find someone to accompany me for a few drinks today. Cup. Come, come, as long as you drink with me, it's easy to talk about borrowing money, I don't care what interest is not interest."

  Mato pushed the glass away and said seriously, "But now, I want to go back to the casino to turn over my books, and I don't have the heart to drink. Just lend me the money and let me go back to the gambling table immediately to fight and lose. Win back the money."

  Jill couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you drink five glasses of wine in a row, I will definitely lend you the money, and I will give you as much as you want, and I will not take any interest. Besides, you were out of luck just now, and now drinking will change your gambling luck, just drink it, only five glasses."

  Mato had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll drink, but I said I'll only have five glasses, and I'm very anxious right now, so I can't accompany you for a long time. I'll drink the five glasses of wine in a row. Leave when you're done."

  Jill smiled and nodded, then watched Matto pick up the wine glass and pour five full glasses of strong Baijiu into his mouth one after the other. Matto actually didn't have much alcohol at all. After drinking five glasses, he immediately collapsed on the stool, panting heavily and looking very drunk.

  Jill clapped his hands with joy, and hurriedly dragged Mato into the basement, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I'm going to make a fortune, this Mato is my fortune star."

  Afterwards, Jill took out his mobile phone, dialed a few numbers, and said, "Officer Luo of the police station, hello, I'm Jill, I have good news for you, I have caught an important witness of a private casino, the government is not now Is there a public reward for reporting private casinos and people involved in gambling, haha, this person has already been caught by me, when you come to my backyard, I will hand this person over to you, remember, hand it over and hand it over. Give the bounty yo."

  Putting away the phone, Jill rubbed his hands in excitement, his face beaming, as if he had already received that considerable bounty. It turned out that there have been many cases of money-seeking murders caused by gambling in the local area recently. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the police station has made heavy efforts to rectify private casinos and gambling participants, and publicly offered rewards to report meritorious personnel. However, those who set up private casinos and participate in gambling are very careful, with one-line contact, outsiders cannot detect their whereabouts at all, and there are very strict internal disposal methods, and leaks will bring disaster to the whole family. As a result, the high bounty has never been received.

  Jill always wanted to get the bounty, but he was suffering from no way to find the casinos and gamblers. Unexpectedly, Mato, who had poor gambling luck, arrived uninvited and took the initiative to deliver it to the door, so Jill took the plan and deliberately poured Mato with wine, and then called the police. The purpose, of course, is to get the bounty without breaking a sweat.

  After a while, Officer Luo led a few police officers to Jill's house. Jill asked with a smile, "Officer Luo, I handed over a genuine private casino and people involved in private gambling to you. How much reward did you give me?"

  Officer Luo said in an official manner, "The announcement is very clear. The prize is 10,000 yuan."

  Jill shook his head and said, "No, it's too little, at least another 10,000."

  Officer Luo was furious: "What do you mean, is this also something that can be negotiated and traded?"

  Jill blinked a few small eyes and said proudly, "I heard that you have a big reward for the police who successfully caught the bet. Shouldn't you give me some of the bonus?"

  Officer Luo was startled and said helplessly, "Well, I can only consider myself unlucky when I meet a greedy guy like you. However, you must hand people over to me, not just talk."

  Jill whispered, "You stand here and wait. Within ten minutes, I will definitely send someone to you, and I am a complete gambler."

  After saying that, Jill left the police and walked into the basement alone. However, there was no sign of Mato in the basement. Jill's sweat dripped down all of a sudden. He obviously moved Mato, who was already drunk, into the basement. How could there be no more? The basement is like a tomb. Even if Mato has wings, he will never escape, but why can't he be seen?

  Jill hurriedly opened the wine vats to find them. When he opened one of the wine vats, Mato suddenly stood up from the inside, the big stick in his hand smashed against his forehead, and Jill fell down without saying a word. Mato swung the big stick and smashed it hard until he smashed Jill's head to pieces, and said with a "hehe" dry smile: "I've been drinking sobriety medicine for a long time, and it's you who are on guard against it. If you want to take me to receive the reward, I also want the money you hid in the basement. Knowing that you are a miser, I did this specially. Seeing you drinking alone, I pretended to be a gambler and came to borrow money, and then waited for you to die. Well now, I can take all the money you hid in the basement, and there is nothing left, and I will never worry about gambling again. I knew for a long time that you hid the money in the basement and never had a chance to get it, God helped me today. "

  Mato jumped out of the wine jar, then dug out Jill's hidden money, patted Jill, who had long since died, and said, "Thank you, I will pray for you, and may you enjoy happiness in heaven."

  Afterwards, when Mato took the money and quietly opened the door to slip away, he suddenly saw several police officers standing at the door, and was stunned. Officer Luo looked surprised, grabbed Mato and asked, "How could it be you? Where is Jill? Where is the gambler he wants to catch, and who is it?"

  Mato collapsed weakly on the ground, unable to speak a word. The police soon found Jill's body in the basement, and Officer Luo hurriedly reported to the police station: "We found another bloody case caused by gambling, and it is recommended to further intensify the crackdown and increase the amount of bounty."
