Chapter 6: Desperate Situation
"It's a shame that he's a good director, it's a shame. "Chairman Ruijin, there are so many people under your command, do you have any information about the whereabouts of the director? Even if the person is dead, the body should be able to be found." ”
After Camon left the police station, he went to the Ripland Mansion again and found Ruijin again, and Ruijin seemed to have already learned the news, he was not surprised, but lay on his office chair, looking out the window with his back to the desk, while Camon sat on the sofa, and there was a cup of cold tea on the table in front of him, and there were a few small red and white kapok on the plate under the teacup.
This is a naked hint, although Carmon knows, but can only endure the anger in his heart.
"Your Excellency, I hope you will listen to my advice, there are some things, you should not take care of it, do your best, maybe you will live... of more exciting. Ruijin deliberately broke the sentence at the end, and when he said it again, it was full of arrogance.
Carmon could only leave in disgrace, he knew that with his current self, he could not deal with the Ripland Group with huge financial resources and manpower, they could even infiltrate the police station, and they could place undercover agents, Carmon really didn't know what to do next.
Carmon had no choice but to go to the hospital in the 'Leyne District-Thion Road' to visit Lothar.
"Don't be too discouraged. In the ward, Carmon told her wretched, and Lothar struggled to get up and sit on the bed, but the pain was unbearable, as he had not fully recovered from his injuries. "That's how this society works. ”
"But I don't believe it can't have a good side. Carmon replied in a low voice, and looked very unconfident. "You're the smartest of the five, and you know the truth better than we do, but your mind is too limited. "What do you mean?" Seeing that Carmon finally perked up a little, Lothar also breathed a sigh of relief
"Let me ask you, do you know what gambling is?" "Isn't gambling just about winning?" "That's right, but you should know that betting more and winning less, not gambling is the truth of winning, but have you ever wondered why I?" "Let me give you an analogy, for example, if you have 100 yuan now, you go to gamble with a person who has 10,000 yuan, and the principal of each game is 5 yuan. The first time, that person bets 100 or more, and if you don't follow, it will be regarded as a failure, and the principal of 5 yuan will also be sucked away, do you choose to follow or not?"
"I know that you are a serious person and you need to think about many steps before you dare to come to a conclusion, but often your opponents will always press you. If you don't follow in the first game, then you lose $5, in the second game your opponent raises to $95 in the same way, and if you don't follow again, you lose $10, so that your chips will be swallowed up little by little. ”
"So what if, I follow in the first game?"
"Then there will be two results, one, you lose all the 100, directly out of the game, two, win 100, double the bet, but your opponent will continue to pressure you, the next game he will increase to 200, and so on, forcing you to bet every game, however, you and his own chips are far from the same, and the probability of a victory is only 50%, although your win rate in the first game is 50%, but in the second game your winning streak is only 25%, the third game is 12.5%, and so on. ”
"What are you trying to tell me, big brother?"
"What I want to tell you is that unless you have a bankroll of 10,000 yuan, you can go all out in the first game, but it is the most promising, otherwise, don't join this gamble and leave as soon as possible. ”
Carmon suddenly had an epiphany, he didn't expect that Lothar, who was addicted to gambling, actually understood such a big truth, but he still had a question, "Big brother, since you know so much, why do you still have a gambling addiction?"
"If you want to take 100 yuan to gamble with a person with 10,000 yuan, the only way is to find a way to turn 100 into 10,000 in your hand. Starting from a small gambling game, although I seem to be losing money in the casino every time, but every time I can hold it, the odds are ten to one, or even higher, and every time I bet, only 5 yuan. ”
"Why?"
"Why? You still ask me why? Because if I only spend 5 yuan, go to the big bet, lose only 5 yuan, win but 50 yuan, and if once I lose to only half of the principal, then I will choose, re-operation, the game odds are small but the winning side of the bet is larger, slowly absorb, the capital back to 100 yuan, and then use 5 yuan to slowly gamble the big bet. ”
"Now I'm like I've lost 50 yuan, and the principal is only 50, and my opponent is still a strong opponent with 10,000 yuan of funds that I can't challenge... I understand, thank you for your enlightenment, then I'll go first. ”
Carmon seemed to realize something, and hurried away, and Lothar finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly lay down, "My stupid brother, I told you everything, stay out of this impossible gamble as soon as possible, but why do you want to go my way." ”
In a hurry, Carmon came to the Sizheng Building, and found Mayor Flammençand in a corridor, although Flamenção saw Camon, he still slowly moved forward, looking at the documents in his hand as he walked.
"Lord Carmon?" said Flammenção unhurriedly, "Why are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" "Mayor Flamensand, I think you should know the news of the disappearance of the police chief, right?" "Of course, the new chief has already taken up his post, and I only got the appointment paperwork over there ten minutes ago. "Then, you should know who did it. ”
Hearing Camun say this, Flammenção suddenly stopped, and Camun, who had been following Framenção, also stopped.
"Lord Carmon, pay attention to where this is, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. "There's their people here, too, aren't they?" "I don't know who you're talking about, but if there's nothing else, I'll go back to the office, and there's a lot of work to be done. ”
With that, Flamenção quickened his pace and walked to his office, and just as Carmon was about to follow, he noticed that a piece of paper had fallen from the file that Flamenção had checked, and Flamenção did not seem to notice it, and walked all the way forward.
Carmon immediately stepped forward, picked up the paper that had fallen on the floor, and was about to stop Flamenção and tell him that the document had been lost, but when he looked up, he could not see Framenção on the other side of the corridor, and Framenção disappeared.
But when Carmon lowered his head and looked at this piece of paper, he found a big problem, and he also understood that this piece of paper was deliberately left by Flamenção and given to him, and because the Sizheng Building also had the eyeliner of the Ripland Group, Flamenção could not provoke the fire and could not be handed over to Camon directly, because this document may be suspected of treason!
Kamon hurriedly put this document in his pocket, and then walked out of the Sizheng Building, after which he went to the pharmacy on Yongning Road, the weapon store on Zhongka Road, the bank and hardware store at Fuding Agricultural Trade Center, and bought a large number of potions, weapons, and equipment.
"Cold anti-cold potion, soothing detoxification water, silver short knife, telescopic bracers...""You, what are you talking about, third brother?" "Huh, scare me, it turned out to be you, fifth brother." ”
At 8 p.m., Carmon was in his quarters, counting his purchases, not noticing that Prisine had come in and was standing at the door for a long time.
"Fifth brother, why are you here today? is there something wrong?" asked Carmon as he quickly put everything into the box and changed his demeanor. "Third brother, what are you going to do?" "Alas, it's an extraordinary time, a gang of thugs have infiltrated the city, and even the police chief has been attacked, so I'll buy something to defend myself." By the way, you—" "Oh, I was going to ask you out for a drink, but since it's so dangerous outside, I won't let you out. ”
Prisin was just about to leave, when Carmon suddenly stopped him, "Have you called the second brother?" Prisin stood still, turned around and looked at Carmon in surprise, "Third brother, how do you know...""You are a person who doesn't like to drink, and you ask me to go out drinking with someone who doesn't drink often, it must be someone else, but the fourth brother is still in the hospital, and the eldest brother is also undergoing rehabilitation, so there is only the second brother." "Yes, yes, I did call the second brother, and the second brother also agreed to come out. "Then let's go to him, I do need to ask you about it. ”
After Carmon briefly cleaned himself up, he went out with Prissing to find Kuhn, and after the three of them gathered, they went to the city's busiest 'Riel Walk', where they found a barbecue restaurant and ordered a few bottles of wine, and the three of them drank while roasting meat
After drinking a little wine, Carmon finally raised his own question, "Second brother, have you met some suspicious people recently?" "Alas, don't say it, I am walking on the street now, and I feel more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at me, and they are full of murderous aura, so scared that I don't even dare to go to the nightclub, and now I am really lonely." "By the way, third brother, didn't the police just release the news in the morning, saying that they had caught the nine suspects who attacked the eldest brother?" "They are just ants sent out by a big organization, and they are pawns that can be discarded." You have to be careful, these people even dare to move the police, and they may use their hands to blackmail people like us. "You have to be careful, third brother, compared to us barons who have no wealth and no name, your identity alone is worth a thousand gold. "You don't know yet, second brother, third brother, he has already prepared. "Let's not talk about those unpleasant things tonight, it's hard for our brothers to come out for a meal, come on, I will toast the two brothers." ”
Carmon stopped the conversation, he didn't want to continue the heavy conversation, he wanted to bury it.
And in Camon's house, there is a piece of paper on the desk, and on it is a line of very large and obvious words - Ancient God Quesumofi!
