The trip to Shijiazhuang, although the mystery of Lao Zhang was not completely solved, it can at least be determined that Lao Zhang's later road of no return has a direct relationship with Xiang Yuanlin.

On the way back to Beijing, Xiao Lei has already sorted out the whole story for us. Lao Zhang met Wu San because he tested his probability in the gambling game, and Wu San pulled Lao Zhang into the gang because of the need to monopolize the market. Lao Zhang then met Xiang Yuanlin. But after completing the market reshuffle of the underground casino, Wu San and Xiang Yuanlin had a disagreement on the direction of business and parted ways.

Lao Zhang promised Wu San not to go to the casino anymore and return to a dull life, Xiang Yuanlin must have asked Lao Zhang to pull him in, but it is estimated that Lao Zhang refused. This is how Xiang Yuanlin set up a gambling game in Beijing, borrowed Cheng Sanye's casino, hid behind the scenes, used his own illusion, and commanded his accomplices to let Lao Zhang owe a huge debt to the casino, and then reappeared to repay Lao Zhang's debts, and then achieved the goal of controlling Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang once said that the regular customers of the casino, who pulled him to Beijing to gamble, eighty percent were also arranged by Xiang Yuanlin.

But obviously, what Xiang Yuanlin pulled Lao Zhang to do was not to go to the casino to win money, but if it was speculated according to what happened in Beijing later, they should have gone to Beijing to buy lottery tickets.

Xiao Lei couldn't help but laugh when he said this, indeed this story seems extremely absurd here. Two talented casino masters, painstakingly and calculatingly, finally joined forces to succeed, but the goal turned out to be to run to Beijing, hide their tracks, abandon their business, and buy a lottery ticket for two yuan a note? Even if they won a few first prizes, but the total bonus of more than 300,000 yuan, and what they had earned in the casino, is simply a drop in the bucket, and for this reason, Xiang Yuanlin also has to move out of the ancestral soul attraction technique, in order to prevent the leakage of heavenly opportunities, and the resentment after taking away people's fortune, what is this picture?

After we smiled bitterly, it was Team Cao who opened his mouth first, "Xiao Lei, according to your analysis, I'm afraid there will be no other conclusions except to prove that these two people are insane, but don't forget, our police academy Zhang Dana's famous words, no matter how grotesque the facts are, they all have his logical side, but we haven't discovered it yet." This is normal for your Uncle Chang, the so-called people gather like likes, who are the people he meets? You study it slowly, there must be the truth. ”

I know that Zhang Dana said by the Cao team, he used to be a classmate of the Cao team at the police academy, and he was still the squad leader, with excellent professional homework, and he was a lifeline nemesis in charge of the Cao team, and he should have entered the police team after graduation, but it may be that the Cao team was addicted to it, and he insisted on staying in school to teach, and now he seems to be the vice principal, it is estimated that Zhang Dana also taught Xiao Lei later, and the Cao team will say so.

Team Cao held the steering wheel with one hand, picked up a cigarette from the driver's platform with the other, lit it, and then said to me: "Lao Chang, I always feel that we can't fully believe this Wu San's words, even if he doesn't wash his hands now, but after all, he is a family made a fortune from the gambling business, and it sounds like he looks righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact, the person who does this business is either a liar or a hooligan, and he must avoid many things and pour dirty water on others, for fear that we will settle accounts after the autumn." ”

I have to say that there is some truth in Cao Team's words, but no matter how Wu San changes the previous story, he still can't hide the black and grotesque development of things later, and the story Ma Wu heard from Lao Zhang has a lot of corroboration with Wu San's story, and Wu San has no need to hide anything important. But Team Cao is right about one thing, we can't look at the problem from Wu San's perspective, so many of my previous judgments are influenced by the records of the ghost immortal master in the genealogy, and I also have inertial thinking, perhaps, Xiang Yuanlin's person may not be as unbearable as we imagined.

I sorted out my thoughts, and then said slowly: "The reason why the more I analyze, the more ridiculous I feel the conclusion, is because there are still a few questions that have not been clarified, for example, if the purpose of Xiang Yuanlin and Lao Zhang is to buy lottery tickets to make money, then why do they deliberately avoid the grand prize? If it is because they are afraid of the punishment of the heavenly machine, then what does it have to do with the amount of money won by using the soul attraction technique to resist the reversal? Could it be that the heavenly machine will still have the severity of the sentence because of the amount of retribution? This is obviously not true. So Xiang Yuanlin and Lao Zhang must have done this out of concealment. ”

"For another example, Xiang Yuanlin wrote, directed, and acted in a bitter meat plan to pull Lao Zhang into the gang, and in Lao Zhang's bag, I saw Lao Zhang's remittance slip to the family, although Lao Zhang was divorced, all the prizes they won were sent home. So, for Xiang Yuanlin, what is the purpose of doing something that has nothing to gain?"

Also, in Wu San's description, the contradiction between him and Xiang Yuanlin is mainly a difference in concept, but there is no question about Xiang Yuanlin's character, and later Xiang Yuanlin returned Handan's casino to Wu San, so Xiang Yuanlin's purpose is never for money, his incitement is a means, and Wu San is not clear about his real thoughts. And before the old man Xiang died, since he was worried that Xiang Yuanlin would take a crooked path, why should he pass on his family knowledge to him, wouldn't that harm Xiang Yuanlin instead? It can be inferred from this that the old man Xiang must have known that Xiang Yuanlin had great ambitions, but he couldn't figure out whether this road was Yangguan Avenue or a self-digging dead road, so he entrusted Wu San with a precaution, but he did not tell Wu San about the family's secrets. ”

"Of course, the core is what role Lao Zhang is in Xiang Yuanlin's plan?

After hearing me talk about this long paragraph, Team Cao and Xiao Lei were silent, until Team Cao's cigarette burned out and burned his hands, Team Cao suddenly woke up and hurriedly threw the cigarette out of the car window.

"Lao Chang, are you thinking too much? This matter may not be so complicated, maybe Xiang Yuanlin and Lao Zhang are preparing for the grand prize, but before they can succeed, Lao Zhang has an accident. ”

"Maybe, but there are no accidents in this world, only cause and effect, isn't it?Team Cao, do you think this old Zhang is a bit similar to Huansheng in some aspects?" I asked him with a smile.

"It's a little bit, people are stubborn, admit death, and don't be so sophisticated, but what does Huansheng have to do with this?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, but teachers, especially those who are mathematical, physical and chemical teachers, have some commonalities. Let's put it this way, let's say you make a deal and want to bring Huansheng into the gang, how do you convince him?"

Team Cao scratched his head and said, "Don't interfere with the driver's driving, I have to be responsible for the safety of the two of you, Xiao Lei, you come to answer your Uncle Chang's question." ”

Xiao Lei had been thinking about it in the back seat, listened to Team Cao's shirk, thought about it and said: "Uncle Chang, I think with Uncle Huansheng's temperament, he is not interested in business at all, so I will join him, unless the business itself is related to his research." ”

"That's right, you're right, I think Lao Zhang is the same, he can be deceived by Xiang Yuanlin to go to a casino in Beijing, it must not be for money, but because of his probability, and Xiang Yuanlin relies on Lao Zhang, it must be his computing ability. If the lottery ticket is put aside in advance, then what else is there, Xiang Yuanlin must use Lao Zhang's ability?" I asked Xiao Lei again.

Seeing Xiao Lei's confused face, I had no choice but to continue: "Xiao Lei, since ancient times, those numerology masters, some have served the imperial court, and some have wandered in the market, but for them, the ultimate life is to explore a truth, a truth that everything can predict. But what is the most painful thing for an enlightened person? This truth is known only to oneself. If you speak out, you will be punished by heaven if you leak the secret of heaven. If you don't say it, how can you verify that your prophecy is accurate? Therefore, Yuan Tiangang wanted to write "Tui Bei Tu", Liu Bowen wanted to write "Golden Strategy", Shao Yong left "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", and Wei Qianli also had "A Thousand Miles of Destiny". ”

"Uncle Chang, do you mean that Xiang Yuanlin is sorting out the family heirloom numerology theory, and is preparing to write a book of prophecies?"

"There is this possibility, but the numerology of the Xiang family is very different from the orthodox theory, there are many evil things, if numerology is a kind of prediction, then the family of the Xiang family not only to know the destiny of heaven, but also to change the luck. Huansheng once said that Zhouyi gossip is a tool and method for the ancients to understand the mandate of heaven, which actually contains a large number of digital conversions and calculations. So, since Lao Zhang can apply probability to gambling, in the final analysis, it is also a calculation tool and model, will Xiang Yuanlin want to introduce this scientific tool into his numerology theory?

"Lao Chang, are you saying that Xiang Yuanlin is doing this trick in order to bring Lao Chang in to engage in scientific research? Why do I think this is less reliable than buying lottery tickets?"

"It may be research work, but it is more likely that Lao Zhang is doing research with his own life. "I tapped lightly on the plastic panel of the bridge.

"What do you mean?" asked Team Cao and Xiao Lei almost at the same time.

"Any theory needs to be tested by practice, right? Suppose Xiang Jia's numerology does not take snooping into heaven as the ultimate goal, but to change luck and avoid twists and turns for the purpose, there must always be an experimental subject, right? A constantly attracting ferocity, and then repeatedly trying to crack the experimental subject, and which one of this experimental object is more suitable than Lao Zhang, who has a heart like stagnant water, no worries, but is talented, calm and rational?"

"Lao Chang, do you mean that Lao Zhang is a guinea pig for experiments?" Team Cao's expression could no longer be described as shocked at the moment.

"Maybe we're all guinea pigs, we just don't know it. This may be the destiny that Xiang Jia realized. ”
