Macau's area is smaller than that of Hong Kong, but its economy in recent years has not been much worse than Hong Kong's (in terms of GDP alone). At the same time, Macau's housing prices are much lower than those of Hong Kong, and even lower than those of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Although the economy has declined slightly in recent years, there are still many people who are optimistic about Hong Kong.
In 2007, a famous American businessman took a fancy to Macau's potential and planned to invest in Macau. But when he tried to register a trademark in his own name, he found that the trademark had been registered a year ago. He was very angry about this because his company is a world-renowned brand and is all named after He was named after him, so he took the other party to court.
But in the final ruling, the Macau court only allowed the businessman to open a hotel in his own name, not a restaurant.
So the angry businessman went to the then-Trump government of the United States in a year and asked the government to help him come forward.
A month later, the Taiwanese government wrote back to him, saying that although the government agreed with his statement, it had no right to intervene in local legal proceedings in Macau.
Do you think this is the end of the matter? No.
Therefore, because the housing prices in Macau are not too high compared to local prices, the place where Wang Teng, a dealer who has worked in the casino for many years, lives is not very bad.
Fang Ze and the others walked down the stairs to the door of Wang Teng's house and knocked on the door, but no one responded.
"Not at home?" Fang Ze asked himself suspiciously.
"Brother, do you have Wang Teng's phone number? Try calling." Wu Xiaoxi said at the side.
Fang Ze had asked for Wang Teng's phone number from the owner of the casino before. However, the casino owner's previous calls were always unanswered, so Fang Ze didn't think calling him now would be of any use.
But since Wu Xiaoxi said it, he still dialed Wang Teng's phone number.
After Wu Xiaoxi saw Fang Ze's call, she immediately leaned on the crack of the door, trying to hear whether there was any phone ringing inside.
"There is no phone sound inside." Fang Ze patted the back of Wu Xiaoxi's head and motioned for her to get up.
"Well, okay." Wu Xiaoxi got up from the ground and turned to look at Charlotte behind her.
"Okay, I'll open the door." Charlotte said to Wu Xiaoxi, "If someone finds out, then we will follow the old rules. Just say that you are lost outside, and then tell me that your home is here, and I will try to I opened the door and wanted to take you home."
"No problem." Wu Xiaoxi stepped away from the door and asked Charlotte to open the door.
Children do have some advantages in some aspects, at least people generally don't think they can lie.
Charlotte took out some tools, opened the door in twos and twos, and then the four people quickly entered Wang Teng's home.
"The living room is very neat. It seems that Wang Teng is a clean person." After Charlotte entered Wang Teng's house, she began to try to analyze Wang Teng's personality through the home environment.
But before Charlotte could say a few words, Fang Ze sniffed his nose and said, "The bedroom smells of blood."
"What?!" After hearing Fang Ze's words, Charlotte and Peanut immediately opened the door and walked into the bedroom.
The environment of the bedroom was the same as that of the living room, both very clean and tidy, except that the bed was not only a little messy, but there was also a corpse lying on it: Wang Teng's corpse.
The four people present were not rookies. When encountering this situation, no one panicked. Instead, they began to pay attention to protecting the scene and tried to analyze the cause of death of the deceased.
Wang Teng was lying on the bed, his right wrist had been cut, and the sheets were stained with blood.
Wu Xiaoxi walked up to Wang Teng, touched Wang Teng's left wrist and nose with her hands, and then said.
"This person is dead, and judging from the temperature of the body, the death time will not exceed half an hour."
"The cause of death should be excessive blood loss." Charlotte said after exploring the body. "There are no other external injuries on the exposed parts of the body, and the knife marks are from the inside to the outside."
While Charlotte and Wu Xiaoxi were inspecting the body, Fang Ze turned his attention to the desk in the bedroom.
The desk in Wang Teng's bedroom has the same style as the living room. It is extremely neat and tidy. It is equipped with a monitor, a desk lamp, and a briefcase. On the left side of the desk, there is also a huge exhibition cabinet with many figures on it.
Fang Ze looked at these figures curiously and found that the positions of these figures were not particularly neat. One of the Dragon Ball figures did not fit perfectly on the base. As for the other figure of Saber driving a motorcycle, the long sword in Saber's hand is broken, and the tip of the sword is thrown next to this figure.
"There is an open notebook here." Peanut, who was looking at the desk carefully, suddenly said.
"Show me." Charlotte took the notebook over and found that the page he opened was a suicide note.
"Wang Teng said he committed suicide. The reason was that he had been working as a dealer in recent years and thought he had figured out the rules of gambling, so he gambled in small casinos opened by others. As a result, he not only lost all his family property, but also borrowed money. Usury, no way to repay, can only commit suicide.
"False." Fang Ze said directly after hearing the contents of Wang Teng's suicide note. "Yesterday, he made an appointment with my friend to meet at the casino today. If it was suicide, he must have had thoughts about it."
"Such a reason alone cannot overturn the conclusion of suicide." Charlotte shook her head and said, "Some people commit suicide because of a sudden mental breakdown, or because of their own hysteria, a sudden attack leads to suicidal behavior."
What Charlotte said made Fang Ze think of something that happened in the compound when he was a child.
There was a man who was a driver at his workplace and had no major problems with his family or career. But one day when I was driving my work car to inspect a car, I suddenly called my wife on a bridge and told him that someone was going to arrest him and throw him into the river.
The wife immediately called the police, but when the police arrived, they only gave away one of the man's shoes.
