Volume 1: Mortal Chapter 9: Casinos

Li Zhong first checked the photos in the file bag, the middle-aged man in the photo seems to be Song Yiming, Song Yiming has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks very decent, just like some movies and TV series, the kind of cadres with clean sleeves and uprightness.

In the process of collecting news before, Li Zhong didn't really meet Song Yiming, but learned from some old people who had been here for some years that when Song Yiming was in charge, the atmosphere in the prison was very strictly prohibited, and all violations of rules and regulations were prohibited.

It is not too much to say that this sea prison is isolated from the world, except for the weekly transport ships, the rest is the dissemination of information about the transferred personnel, and generally speaking, the factors affected by the outside world are very small, and the development structure of the prison, as well as the daily control and regulations, the atmosphere reflected in it completely represents the character of the management personnel, which can see the fundamental difference between Song Yiming and Li Qingchi.

The prison under the management of Song Yiming, the prison is good to hear, it is orderly, and if it is not good, it is the same, every day in the morning and late in the evening, there is no wave, the victory is stability, I can feel that Song Yiming is a person who does not like to change a lot, likes to live according to the rules every day, and has a regular schedule and rest.

However, after Li Qingchi was airborne, the entire prison has changed considerably, and some entertainment facilities that should not exist in the prison, such as casinos, KTVs, and bars, have been established, and the prison management has done as they please.

If you think about the patrol shift, you can change it casually, and if you forget to change it, you will continue to patrol according to the schedule issued the day before.

The canteen is also the management of the canteen to do whatever they want, so that the dishes are more diverse, after Li Qingchi took over the prison, the entire prison was transformed into a small urban microcosm by Li Qingchi.

Song Yiming created an orderly prison atmosphere, all of which was replaced by Li Qingchi's liberal atmosphere.

Normally, the change of the prison is harmless to himself, on the surface, it seems to be so, but in fact, in terms of protection, Li Qingchi is more rigorous than Song Yiming, and he has not relaxed because of lax control and freedom of movement.

The fact that there is no ban on mobile phones and the Internet is very revealing, first of all, this will not expose the location of the prison, and secondly, this will let others know that no matter how it changes, this is a prison, there is a bottom line, and secondly, it also avoids the interference of other forces.

Through the addition of entertainment venues and the abolition of the ban on smoking and alcohol, the entertainment needs of the prison staff were met, so that even if they were parachuted, the people below would only feel that Li Qingchi had a very good background, and they would not not be surprised because of this airborne, on the contrary, they would be glad that the prison had finally changed.

And then quietly arrange their own people into the prison and let them manage the prison's entertainment venues, and now in the hearts of people who meet different needs, the managers of a small casino, bar, etc., have to make them feel more important than normal civilian leaders, because these places can make them happy and satisfied.

Song Yiming's defeat in this confrontation is not his problem, after all, from thrift to luxury, he can only praise Li Qingchi's entry point is very good, which also shows that Li Qingchi is really smart.

But Song Yiming's follow-up actions are particularly puzzling, and the information in his hands shows that the first person to enter the newly built casino is Song Yiming in disguise, but he didn't expect Song Yiming, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be the first to "mutiny".

The information shows that Song Yiming only has a soft spot for this casino, except for the casino, other entertainment venues, none of them, in the information, Li Zhong found that he never noticed a piece of information, that is, the trading point.

When probing for information, it is necessary to prevent being discovered and collect information, which precisely ignores the most basic point, that is, economic circulation.

Since there are entertainment venues, there must be expenses, so what do you need to pay for the consumption of entertainment venues?

The salaries of the staff are paid by the bank and directly into the card, and there is no equipment to withdraw money in the prison, so there will be no money circulation in the prison, so the birth of this transaction point is the key to Li Qingchi's ability to grasp the lifeblood of the entire prison so quickly.

All the entertainment venues in the prison, if you want to play and spend, in addition to the cards and 100 trading points given at the beginning, you can only earn trading points by yourself, and the trading points earned have to be spent in the entertainment venues established by Li Qingchi, and if you don't spend it, you have to complete the tasks released by Li Qingchi, so that a dead loop is formed.

In this kind of isolated prison, the birth of a trading point is enough to make Li Qingchi the god of this prison.

Li Zhong sighed at Li Qingchi's unimaginable business methods, and at the same time thought that Song Yiming, a powerful person, has unknown abilities and Li Qingchi, whose means are astonishing, one wants to protect and the other wants to get, what is their purpose?

While completing their own tasks, the common goal of the two, do you have a chance to get involved?

Thinking of this, Li Zhong decided to get some information from his mouth before killing Song Yiming, after all, not everyone is as shrewd as Li Qingchi, at least that Jing Yier knew that he was not smart, so in addition to the necessary communication, he never said anything to himself, and did not give himself a chance to talk, and people who knew that they were not smart were also smart.

After sighing, Li Zhong continued to check the information, the content of the information is not much, only Song Yiming's appearance before and after disguise, as well as the daily action route, normally speaking, there should be a lot of reports on the daily action route, but Song Yiming's information is only thin five, each of which is marked with a dense date. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the information he gets, this Song Yiming is really a person who follows the rules, if it weren't for this, it would be really difficult to kill him.

According to the information on the information, Song Yiming will go to the casino at least once every three days, from the information Song Yiming has not accepted the task, until now he can go to the casino, the gambling skills should be good, the information shows that Song Yiming just went to the casino yesterday, so he should not appear in the casino today, leaving enough time for himself to be familiar with the structure of the casino and integrate into the atmosphere of the casino.

After reading the information, Li Zhong found that there was an envelope in the file bag, tore open the letter, and pulled out a piece of paper and a card from it.

"In this trading card, there are 1000 trading points, which can allow you to relax before the task, if you don't need to relax, then these trading points, you can save a little use, and you can definitely hold on to Song Yiming in the casino until you see Song Yiming. On the other night, you can take the badge given to you by Jing Yier and go to the rooms where you failed to investigate, and you can choose the contents of them. The next time you see me, we'll talk about working together in the future."

After reading the content of the letterhead, Li Zhong's face was gloomy, he threw the letterhead into the air, his fingers moved slightly, the golden light flashed, Li Zhong waved his arm, and the golden light drew countless arcs in mid-air, and when Li Zhong withdrew the dagger, the letterhead was cut into pieces and scattered on the ground.

Li Zhong took a deep breath, then spit it out, his face was a little better, and he said to himself: "This Li Qingchi, one step ahead of me everywhere, on the surface it paved the way for me to complete the task, but in fact it was to warn me that all actions were not beyond his control, this kind of person is really annoying." ”

Li Zhong walked to the bedside, spread out the quilt, got into the quilt, recuperated, and waited for the sky to get dark, and then went to the casino to find out.

Time passed in a flash, the sky gradually darkened, Li Zhong got up from the bed, looked at the time, he actually slept for nearly six hours, his mental state was much better, the arm that would have been slightly painful when he moved, now there is no big problem, he has not eaten all day, Li Zhong is hungry, and he is going to go to the cafeteria for dinner first, and then go to the casino.

When he walked near the cafeteria, Li Zhong saw a back figure in the distance, which seemed familiar, and when he got closer, it was actually the little nurse who gave him a file bag, holding a book in his hand and reading it while walking, very fascinated. Seeing that she was alone, thinking of the way she stuffed the file bag into her arms and then blushed and ran away, it was very cute, and I was ready to tease her.

Li Zhong slowed down, quietly walked behind her, pretended to be angry, patted her shoulder, and said in a gloomy tone, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

The little nurse was startled, and her body shuddered, first leaned forward, dodging Li Zhong's hand, and then turned around, her face began to have a frightened expression, and then she saw that it was the person who sent the file bag by herself before, her face changed from frightened to blushing, and she said, "Why are you, what are you looking for me?" If there are fewer things in it, don't look for me, I didn't open it when I received it. ”

"Although there is no shortage of things, I went to the infirmary before because of a chest injury, but when you left, you pushed me hard, and now it hurts, what do you say about this matter?" Li Zhong said viciously, and took two steps closer to the little nurse.

When the little nurse heard this, she panicked and retreated, "You...... What are you doing, I don't know you're injured, not to mention that I'm a little girl, you can work harder, stay away from me, otherwise I'll call someone" said and blocked the book in his hand in front of him, and said to himself with a voice that could be heard by everyone next to him while retreating, "At that time, Sister Qin said that there are few good things in the prison men, let me pay attention, but this was touched by myself, what can I do." ”

Li Zhong almost couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this, thinking that this little nurse was so cute, so he snatched the book in her hand, glanced at the cover of the book, it was actually a book about human acupuncture points, and he thought that a little girl of this age would hold a romance novel, so she was so fascinated by it.

When the little nurse saw that the book was robbed, she hurriedly rushed over to grab it, "You give it back to me!" Bad guy, otherwise I will find your squad leader in a while and tell you to bully people. He waved his hand and grabbed the book, and said again.

Li Zhong held the book high, continued to tease the little nurse, dodged the little nurse's hand and said, "I'm an injured person, I just got aggravated by you, if you hurt me again, you will be even more responsible." ”

After hearing this, the little nurse quickly retracted her hand, and her face turned even redder, "Then you quickly return the book to me, I don't know that you are injured, can't I apologize" Li Zhong saw that the little nurse was about to cry, so he didn't tease her, and smiled and said, "Count me as an adult, don't worry about you as a little girl, remember to thank me for my great kindness" and then returned the book in his hand to the little nurse.

After the little nurse took the book, she ran away a few steps and turned back and said, "Thank you for your size, you are a bad person, you know how to bully little girls, phew!"

After making a grimace at Mr. Li, he ran away without looking back, for fear of being caught up by Li Zhong, looking at the direction she ran, it seemed that she hadn't even eaten dinner.

Li Zhong had benefits on the corner of his mouth, watching her run away, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder Zhao Yousheng liked to tease the little nurse before, and his mood will indeed be much better." ”

was originally upset by Li Qingchi's letter, but this time Li Zhong's mood was a lot easier, and at the same time, Li Zhong also had a trace of the same emotion in his heart.

"I didn't pay attention to it before, but this little nurse seems to be really cute. ”

With this thought in his mind, Li Zhong hurriedly shook his head and shook off these messy thoughts, his life may not be saved, how can he have the energy to think about this.

Within a few minutes, Li Zhong arrived at the cafeteria, ordered a bowl of beef noodles that he often eats, and chose a more remote corner to sit down. Just as he picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, he heard a familiar voice, looked over with his spare eyes, and found that it was actually Team Leader Sun.

Li Zhong said secretly, why didn't he sit with a patrol squad, and he did so partially, it was estimated that there was something.

Thinking of this, Li Zhong leaned his ears and wanted to eavesdrop on the content of his chat, but found that what they said was actually related to the casino, and the chopsticks in his hand slowly sent the noodles to the end, and most of the energy was spent on eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people.

"Sun Ban, do you want to go to the casino to play in a while, I have recently taken down some trading points, let's go together, I'll give you a start, and join forces to win points?"

Squad Leader Sun frowned and replied, "Squad Leader Li, that's what you told me last time, and as a result, 500 trading points were entered in two hours." If I hadn't had something to do with the people inside, I would have thought that you had cheated me, so don't go at your level, keep some money, and if you go out, you can exchange some money. "Squad Leader Sun doesn't seem to want to go with this Squad Leader Li.

The squad leader Li was not angry when he heard this, but still said with a smile: "Last time it was an accident, you think about the last hand, if I guessed correctly, but I can win 3000, there are always losses and wins in everything, this time I have a big head, how about it? This time I have inside information, saying that it is not necessarily how much I win, but I must not be able to lose if I lose." ”

When squad leader Sun heard that he was responsible for making a little money and filling it up occasionally, his expression moved slightly, and then he said: "Since this is the case, then you can still study it, I also have news about it, I heard that it is...... Speaking of this, squad leader Sun looked around, saw Li Zhong beside him, and said to the squad leader Li: "Say it in another place." Then the two of them picked up the plate together and got up to leave.

Li Zhong's afterglow saw that even if Team Leader Sun left, he would look back from time to time, and only when he was far away did he put his mind at ease, and turned around and continued to whisper something to Team Leader Li.

After the two of them walked away, Li Zhong sighed, he couldn't eat well, but he still put down his chopsticks and walked out of the cafeteria, ready to keep up with the two people.

After the two of them walked out of the cafeteria, they discussed what they were talking about, because of squad leader Sun's performance when he left the cafeteria, Li Zhong was afraid that he would suddenly turn around and see himself, and it would be bad if he had a quarrel or an accident, so this time he just followed from a distance, but looking at squad leader Sun's expression changed from frowning when he just came out of the cafeteria to occasionally nodding in agreement now, the two of them should have talked about things.

They followed the two of them from afar until they reached the vicinity of a building on the edge of the prison, which was built after Li Qingchi came, and the building was only three stories high, which looked no different from other ordinary warehouse buildings from the outside, but this building was the casino in the prison.

The two of them walked into the interior of the casino and disappeared into Li Zhong's field of vision, Li Zhong did not follow up immediately, but walked around the building for a while, the possibility that the two of them have available information is too small, and in case the two of them have something to do in it and delay for a while, seeing that they are following in, Sun Squad Leader's personality must be suspicious.

With this thought, I walked around the neighborhood for about 10 minutes, the casino was still the same as I had checked before, there were no new patrol personnel, look at this time, the two people inside should also play, so I walked to the building, ready to see what the inside of the casino looks like, Li Zhong came to the casino to see many times, but into the interior of the casino, it was the first time.

The inside and outside of the casino are completely two worlds, the outside looks like an ordinary warehouse building, but after coming in, I found that those windows are completely invisible in the interior, which is obviously the decoration, on the contrary, the interior is a whole, the decoration is not very gorgeous, but it looks very neat, and it is clear at a glance after entering the door.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see that there is a staircase on the left, you can go up to the second floor, there are two people at the staircase who are guarding, although there is no partition on the second floor, you can also see the people coming and going upstairs from below, but it is obvious what conditions are needed to go up to the second floor.

As for the downstairs table, every table was overcrowded, some people had cigarettes in their mouths, complaining that their hands were not good, and some people were smiling, obviously making a fortune. Although it doesn't look like much decoration, but the sound insulation is very good, before entering the door, you can't hear the noisy sound in the casino from the outside, Li Zhong wanders around the first floor of the casino aimlessly, although the first floor of the casino is not big, but the types inside are very complete, in addition to the common mahjong poker, there are many that they have not seen, but only one point, every gaming table is overcrowded.

Originally, the room was not big, and it didn't take long for him to finish shopping, Li Zhong was going to find a table at random, get started, and pretend. Otherwise, it's still a little conspicuous if you just go shopping and don't play. I happened to see a table next to it, and it was a very common BlackJack to play, that is, 21 points, the rules of 21 points are very simple, the number of points held in the hand is greater than the dealer, that is, the dealer, and less than or equal to 21 points, even if it wins, if it is greater than 21 points or less than the number of points of the dealer, it is lost, simple and clear.

This table is a game of 5 people, and it is already full, Li Zhong leaned over, squeezed into the side of the table to watch the lively crowd, and watched the gambling game on the table now.

The game on the table is about to end, three have given up, the remaining one uses the trading card in his hand, swipes the sensor on the table, it seems that this is a bet, and then the dealer deals a card, the person looks at it and remorsefully waved his fist, after the card is opened, the number of points he holds has exceeded 21 points.

After this person lost, he shook his head, sighed and left his seat, it seemed that the trading points had been lost, Li Zhong saw that there was a vacant seat, and when he was about to squeeze over to play two hands, a person was already sitting at the table.

Li Zhong, who didn't grab the position, was not angry, anyway, he was just here to pretend, it didn't matter if he didn't grab it, at least the scramble was made, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Li Zhong looked at the new person at the table, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, why was this new person so familiar, Li Zhong looked at it carefully, and was shocked, although this person had made some disguises, but Li Zhong still saw that this person who had started to play cards was actually a person who should not have appeared today, Song Yiming.
