At the critical moment before the nine-in-one general election, Jiang Qingwei, the second son of Taichung City Councilor Jiang Heshu of the People's Party, was suspected of running underground baccarat and Texas Hold'em casinos. At the end of last month, the police worked with the Perak team to attack the hidden casino in the No. 1 Middle School business district. The hot girl croupier and gamblers fled in panic. Although Jiang Nan tried to escape, he was still arrested by the police. After interrogation, he posted a bail of 500,000 yuan.

It is understood that more than 50 monitors are installed around the casino, forming a strict surveillance network. However, the police already have relevant information. On October 29, together with the Perak Special Police Team, they went to a commercial building on Jinxin Street in the North District No. 1 Middle Business District with a search ticket. At that time, Jiang Qingwei was in the casino. Through the surveillance footage, he saw the police dispatching in large numbers. The scene suddenly fell into chaos. Gamblers, hot girl dealers and staff were frightened and fled in all directions. Some people went upstairs to the escape ladder, while others ran down.

Jiang Qingwei saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly looked for an opportunity to escape. He almost escaped from the commercial building. However, the police had already deployed police forces to form a siege from all entrances and exits. The Perak team quickly controlled the scene. The police seized more than 1.89 million yuan in cash, playing cards, and chips on the spot. The evidence, together with the hot girl dealer, gamblers and staff, were brought back for investigation. After police inquiries, the whole case was transferred to the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office. The prosecutor determined that Jiang, Shi, Weng and others were clearly suspected of being involved in providing gambling venues for profit, but there was no need to detain Jiang Qingwei. Jiang Qingwei was ordered to post a bail of 500,000 yuan.

After investigation, Jiang Qingwei was searched by the police as early as June 20 this year on suspicion of operating a baccarat and Texas Hold'em casino on Taiwan Avenue in the North District. At that time, more than 900,000 yuan in cash was seized, and more than 20 gamblers and about 8 dealers, managers and staff were seized. Unexpectedly, after the casino was looted, he started a new business and resumed his old business in the No. 1 Central Business District in just a few months. The police attacked him for the second time. The total loss of cash seized during the two raids was nearly 2.8 million yuan.

At the end of last month, police raided the area and hid in a casino in a commercial building in the No. 1 Middle School business district. (provided by the public)

Baolin case killed 6 victims: the sentence was too light
