The beautiful girl in the photo, named Susie Zhao, swept through the American casinos at a young age, won 4 million US dollars in one game, and was known as the "genius goddess of gambling".
Figure 1
What she didn't expect was that on July 13, 2020, she lost her life.
When police in Michigan arrived at the underground garage at the scene of the crime, more than 90 percent of her body had been badly burned.
According to the forensic medical examination, she had suffered a blunt blow to the head and had also suffered a violation.
There is a large amount of soot left in the lungs. The forensic doctor explained that this situation was caused by the large inhalation of the deceased when the clothes on the deceased's body or some surrounding objects burned.
In other words, she was burned alive!
Her murder has aroused heated discussion among gamblers large and small.
Some people say that "death is not unjust, sooner or later like her will be picked up", and some people deeply regret that they lost their lives at the most proud age.
Figure 2
So what is the truth? Why did the murderer kill her in such a cruel way? What happened to her on the day of her murder?
The murderer was by his side
After collating the clues, the US police found that Zhao Susi left home at about 5:30 p.m. the day before she was killed.
Witnesses found the body at around eight o'clock in the morning of July 13.
That is to say, between 5:30 and 8:00 the next morning, Zhao Susie suffered an accident.
The killer, on the other hand, had plenty of time to escape. Is it still possible to catch the murderer?
According to surveillance around the scene of the incident, Zhao Suxi entered the motel next to the parking lot first, followed by an old man with gray hair next to her.
The two were clearly acquainted.
After further investigation by the police, they locked in the man on surveillance, Morris, who is in his sixties.
Figure 3
He had been imprisoned for sexual incursions, was a violent criminal with a criminal record, and was now unemployed and could only be regarded as a tramp.
Police immediately arrested Morris and found a blood-stained baseball bat, a bloodied piece of clothing and a pair of shoes with a bloodstained sole in Morris' home.
Morris did not want to escape, and obediently followed the police back to the police station.
The forensic doctor compared the remaining bodily fluids in Zhao Susie's body with Morris's DNA, and finally determined that the murderer was Morris.
And Morris also admitted that he killed Zhao Susie.
It is understood that Morris was also a "successful person" before, with his own career and a happy little family.
However, I don't know when Morris became involved in gambling.
At first, he was in the casino, but he did not understand the rotation of feng shui, and finally lost his family, and his wife and children also left him.
Figure 4
Who knew that Morris was unrepentant and went in and out of the casino more frequently.
Murder is nothing more than two situations, love killing and vendetta.
A generation of genius female gamblers and gamblers Morris, just from the perspective of age, can rule out that it is love killing.
And such a "proud son of heaven" female gambling god will not be entangled with a gambler.
So what deep hatred did he have with Zhao Susie?
According to Morris's confession, it was he who made an appointment with Susie Zhao that day, and when he arrived at the room, he knocked her unconscious with a baseball bat prepared in advance.
After that, she was furious and violated Zhao Susie.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the way, Zhao Suqian woke up, so he tied up Zhao Suqian's two hands and knocked her unconscious again.
Later, Morris put her in a suitcase and threw her into the corner of the underground garage, poured gasoline on Susie Zhao's body, and lit a fire.
Figure 5
At the age of 33, Zhao Susie was killed by Morris in such an extremely cruel way.
However, Morris never admitted what his motive was.
As a result, people have spread various speculations among themselves, and these speculations are closely related to Zhao Susi's gambling history.
The peak of the god of gambling
Susie Zhao has been exposed to various professional poker matches since her college years and has become a professional player.
At the time of graduation, everyone else was busy submitting resumes and looking for jobs, and Susie Zhao said:
"I love the thrill of playing poker, I want to sink into the casino, playing poker makes me happier than anything else."
After graduation, Susie Zhao also did what she said, and she devoted herself to the technology of delving into playing cards.
Figure 6
After getting rid of the shackles of her student status, she can finally show her card skills to more people.
And she made playing cards her profession.
After graduating from college in 2009, Susie Zhao began competing in professional competitions across the United States.
At the 2012 World Series of Poker, she won tens of thousands of dollars in prize money with a global ranking of 90th.
In the entire professional competition she participated in, she won a total of 300,000 US dollars in prize money, equivalent to 1.91 million yuan.
At this time, Zhao Suxi, it can be said that she is becoming more and more arrogant, and she is no longer satisfied with the rare prize money won in the professional competition.
So she began to go to major casinos in the United States.
In her early twenties, she looks like a lively girl.
But once you sit at the table, you are like a veteran who has been through the battlefield, with a stable look and a feeling of wisdom.
Figure 7
Gradually, the people of American casinos remembered this beautiful and skilled girl and became an idol in the hearts of gamblers, calling her "goddess of gambling".
The victories in the casino and the cheers from the people around her gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
Even her best friend said that Zhao Susie was born to eat this bowl of rice, and had never met anyone more suitable for this profession than her.
Between 2013 and 2017, Susie Zhao also visited some of the biggest casinos in Texas and Nevada.
In addition, she not only gambles in regular casinos, but also participates in some illegal underground casinos.
She even said that the casino was her cash machine.
In May 2019, this was also the peak moment of Zhao Susie's life.
At a casino in Texas, she set her own record, winning $4 million in one go!
Figure 8
It is understood that in the past, in the most formal professional poker game in North America, she won the most prize money of only fifty thousand US dollars.
It was also this achievement that Zhao Suxi commented on herself, saying, "Among thousands of troops, I am the unicorn that stands out, skillfully playing high stakes for a living."
The reason why she dares to say this is because from birth, she is a lucky person who stands at the end.
Genius is born
Susie Zhao was born in Texas in 1987, and her parents had accumulated some money in the early years of doing business in China, and had immigrated to the United States before she was born.
This is also the reason why gamblers later called her a "Chinese female gambling goddess".
In just a few years, her parents have relied on business to break through the United States, providing her with a good living environment from an early age.
The United States advertises itself as a "free" country, and Zhao Susie's parents are also free education for her.
Figure 9
They feel that they cannot suppress the nature of children, and let children grow up freely and happily is the true meaning of education.
So, from the very beginning, her parents didn't prescribe how she was going to develop.
They gave Susie Zhao a complete Western-style education, and good financial conditions also supported her to try everything she was interested in.
Susie Zhao has tried skiing, taekwondo and other sports, she loves challenges, likes the feeling of excitement, but she did not stick to this type of sports.
By chance, she saw the show of a poker game on TV and was instantly attracted.
The tension and mystery of finally opening the playing cards fills the entire table with a thrilling atmosphere from beginning to end.
She found herself able to keep up with the contestants' thinking.
She gradually began to play with her classmates, and soon figured out how to play this kind of playing cards.
Figure 10
In the battle with others again and again, with her super memory and logical ability, she can easily calculate the cards in the hands of others and win.
In a short period of time, there was no one in the class or even the entire grade who could win her.
Zhao Susie tasted the taste of victory, and became more fascinated by this thrilling feeling, and began to be dissatisfied with playing with her classmates on campus.
Once, a classmate took her to an underground casino, and Zhao Susie saw such a scene for the first time:
A small gambling table, surrounded by people with red faces and eyes, made her feel from the bottom of her heart that she belonged to this place.
After watching for a while, she also wanted to try it.
For the first time, she actually sat at the gambling table and returned with a full load!
When she got home, her mother learned of the incident and not only did not stop it, but thought that playing cards could exercise her daughter's thinking ability.
Figure 11
She was even encouraged to stick to what she liked, not to be afraid of losing, to let go of her hands and do it boldly, there was nothing to worry about!
In this way, Zhao Susie had the support of her parents, coupled with her own fanatical interest, and embarked on the path of playing cards.
At the beginning, the god of gambling was not smooth sailing.
After all, he was young, had never really touched the game on the table, and just lost miserably at first.
But she was not discouraged, and with the addition of her own little talent, she quickly mastered the essence of the game.
At this time, Zhao Suxi was already famous, until she officially became a poker professional in college.
Why would such a well-to-do rich girl be brutally murdered by a gambler?
Cause of death of God of Gamblers
The news that the 33-year-old "Chinese female celibacy" was violated and burned was boiling in major casinos, and everyone was talking about it.
Figure 12
Some gamblers said that they had seen Zhao Susie gamble money, clean and sharp, and would even step on the losing side after winning money.
Sometimes when the other party has no money, she will even put on a condescending appearance, humiliate the other party with words, and say, "How can the poor ghost come out to gamble money, to have no technology, to have no money, to go home and wash and sleep"!
It must be that some people are not accustomed to her, and pay for this tramp to kill her.
There is also speculation that Zhao Susie and Morris participated in gambling in a joint venture, and finally caused by uneven dividends;
Some people also said that they had seen Morris and Zhao Susie gamble money at a table, and it must be because Zhao Susie had won all of Morris's money.
How could Morris, a man in his sixties, be angry with this little girl, so he had a bad thought.
In short, there are many opinions.
Figure 13
Although Morris is now in custody, his motives for killing have never been definitive.
People say everything, and the case of the female gambling god being killed and burned has also brought suspense.
End
A generation of genius goddesses of gambling came to an end.
The excessive indulgence and doting of her parents must be one of the reasons for her arrogant personality.
Victory after victory, cheers from the people around her, all made her trapped in this "sense of accomplishment" and could not extricate herself, but finally lost her life.
However, the level of cruelty of the murderer is also outrageous.
Morris was charged with first-degree murder in September 2020, and to this day, Susie Zhao's case remains highly suspect and undetermined.
Figure 14
Finally, once again, I would like to warn everyone that gambling on the mainland is illegal, and it seems that you are gambling on money, but you do not know that you are gambling on your own life.
Stay away from gambling and cherish life!
