Chapter 243: Questioning
Time passed in a flash, and the middle-aged man sat at the gambling table for two full hours, and exchanged chips seven or eight times one after another, with a total amount of more than five million, and he lost seventy-seven eighty-eight.
Zhou Qiming is slightly better than the middle-aged man, but he also lost more than four million, he himself doesn't feel much, as long as he lacks chips, he greets the waiter, and someone will send it to him immediately. Just sign the IOU and press a thumb print.
There are also many gamblers who play with them, although two-thirds of the middle-aged people win their bets, but in general, most of them lose money, and few really win.
Only a very few people have noticed that middle-aged people don't bet much on winning games, but they bet hundreds of thousands on losing games, so the money won is not enough to lose.
I played from the afternoon until dark, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger. Zhou Qiming got up and stretched, glanced at his watch, and prepared to go home for dinner.
"Zhou Shao, are you not playing?" asked the dealer.
"After an afternoon of playing, it's almost time to go back. Come back next time. Zhou Qiming waved his hand and walked to the door.
"Zhou Shao, wait a minute!" The dealer hurriedly caught up, holding a stack of IOUs in his hand, and said with a smile: "Then you settle the borrowed money first, I'm just a part-time worker." If you leave, I won't be able to explain it to my boss. ”
Zhou Qiming didn't know how many chips he had borrowed, and estimated in his heart that it would be millions at most, so he didn't take it to heart, took out his wallet and said impatiently: "Okay, you hurry up and calculate, I'm still hungry!"
"All right!" said the dealer, counting the IOUs, "you have borrowed a total of four and a half million chips from our casino eight times." ”
"What?!" Zhou Qiming was suddenly shocked, his two eyeballs were about to bulge out, and he subconsciously reached out to get those IOUs, wanting to see them clearly.
The money didn't arrive, of course the IOU couldn't be given to him, the dealer dodged for a while, squinted his eyes and said: "What, Zhou Shao doesn't want to repay the debt, right? It's just more than four million, with your identity, there is no need to repay the debt!"
"Whoever said I was going to pay the bill, you should show me the IOU first. After only borrowing a few chips, it is impossible to have as much as 4.5 million!" Zhou Qiming said angrily.
The dealer grinned, and said to the middle-aged man Nunu, who was still in front of the gambling table, "You haven't borrowed the most, that big brother borrowed more than five million, have you said anything?"
"He borrowed more than five million?" Zhou Qiming was shocked again, learning that someone had lost more than himself, and his heart was slightly balanced.
The dealer showed Zhou Qiming the IOUs one by one, with his signature and fingerprints on them, and it was impossible to fake them.
Frowning, Zhou Qiming's doubts were dispelled, but he didn't expect that he would lose so much in one afternoon, and he was very unwilling.
At this time, the middle-aged man stood up, grabbed a small handful of chips in his hand, walked to the two and sighed: "Hey, I have bad luck today, I won't play, and I'll fight again when I come to work in two days!"
"Hey, the doors of our casino are always open for Mr. However, please pay off the loan. The dealer smiled faintly.
The middle-aged man was neat, without too much verbosity, took out a bank card and swiped it on the POS machine, casually scanned the IOU, and made sure that there was no mistake, so he burned it clean with a lighter.
"Sure enough, it's the bold God of Wealth!" The dealer gave the middle-aged man a thumbs up, then looked at Zhou Qiming, and said in a weird manner: "Zhou Dashao, you see what algorithm you want, if it's inconvenient today, it doesn't matter, let's keep the IOU first, and you will count it together next time you come to play." ”
Zhou Qiming looked at the middle-aged man, and then at the dealer, the suspicion on his face became stronger and stronger, and he snorted coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to ask me to pay back the money, I won't lose any of the accounts that should be recognized, but I see that the relationship between the two of you doesn't seem to be so simple, right?"
The dealer's face was cold, and he said coldly: "What do you mean, suspecting that I am colluding with this gentleman to cheat people?"
"Isn't it?" Zhou Qiming pointed at the middle-aged man and gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't followed him to bet, I wouldn't have lost so much!"
Hearing the dispute here, many players gathered around to watch the excitement, and some gamblers who had lost money before also stared at the middle-aged man with a bad face, with a strong doubt in their eyes.
"Zhou Shao. You can't spew blood!" The middle-aged man looked wronged, and said eagerly: "From beginning to end, I didn't ask you to bet with me, I won six or seven in a row to leave, it was you who first asked me to stay, I was embarrassed to refuse to stay and continue to play, now everyone has lost money, I lost the most, why did you frame me!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qiming was stunned, thought about it carefully, and found that it was really as the middle-aged man said, he took the initiative to ask the middle-aged man to stay, and he himself wanted to bet with the middle-aged man, and no one forced him from beginning to end.
"What this big brother said was right, I was also present at the time, which can prove that Zhou Dashao kept him to play for a while, and the dealer also let this big brother continue to play at that time, saying that the God of Wealth possessed. An onlooker spoke.
Several others echoed, all of whom were witnesses.
"Hey, you can't say that, winning or losing is luck, and you can't blame me!" the dealer hurriedly cleared.
The middle-aged man's resentful gaze swept back and forth on the dealer and Zhou Qiming, and said unhappily: "If you hadn't said anything to keep me, I would have won the money and left, and now I wouldn't have lost more than five million...; …;”
As soon as I heard this. Zhou Qiming was suddenly anxious, as if he was a trust and joined forces with the casino to deceive people, and immediately retorted: "Where did I know that I would lose so badly in the future, I also hope that you will win more money, and I will make a little money." ”
"I won several more rounds later, and every time I tried to leave, you dissuaded me from playing...; …;” After complaining, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Okay." I think I'm unlucky, I believe that Zhou Dashao is a person, it can't be the trust arranged by the casino, and the real taste of the young owner has money, so there is no need to do this kind of indiscriminate thing. ”
These words made Zhou Qiming's heart quite comfortable, and his doubts about middle-aged people were completely dispelled.
If the middle-aged man is arranged by the casino, he will definitely try his best to encourage others to continue gambling, but he is the one who is instigated, and he loses more than 5 million, it is not appropriate to say that he is a trust.
The dealer stood up to be a peacemaker and said: "Both of them are rich and wealthy gods, even if we want to ask for help, we can't afford to invite a god like you, so don't be suspicious of each other." ”
The matter has come to this, Zhou Qiming has nothing to say. Reluctantly, he took out his bank card and swiped it.
Walking out of the door of the casino together, the middle-aged man said: "Zhou Shao, the gambling picture is a stimulus, and it is normal to lose and win." ”
Zhou Qiming shook his head and sighed: "I only blame myself for my lack of greed, if I won money with you at the beginning and retreated directly, it wouldn't have been like this." ”
"You're right. The middle-aged man said: "Before coming to the casino today, I found a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram for me, he said that I have good fortune today, but I must know how to control and accept it when I see it, and repeatedly told me." Don't go more than ten rounds, otherwise you will definitely be ruined, don't listen to the old man, and suffer in front of you!"
Zhou Qiming's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Which fortune teller are you looking for, and where is the stall?"
"Just under the overpass in front, the fortune teller is known as Li Banxian, before I come to the casino, I usually ask him to help calculate a hexagram, and the hexagram will go in to play two hexagrams. The middle-aged man pointed in one direction.
Fortune-telling is such a thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, anyway, it can't cost a few dollars at a time, Zhou Qiming said excitedly: "Why don't you go with me to calculate it once and see how it is tomorrow?"
"Zhou Shao go by himself. The middle-aged man looked up at the sky and said with a depressed expression: "When I go home so late, I guess I will have to kneel on the washboard later...; …;”
Seeing that he was afraid of his wife to this extent, a trace of disdain flashed in Zhou Qiming's eyes, and he immediately parted ways with the middle-aged man and rushed to the underpass that the middle-aged man said.
When the car drives near the overpass, you can clearly see the fortune-telling booth under the bridge, and a cloth hangs in front of the table, which reads "Ancestral physiognomy, peeping into the heavens".
Li Banxian wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses, a goatee, a cloth robe, and a few fortune-telling books on the table, which looked decent.
