The first bad news

New York, USA

Basement in a house on the outskirts.

Mark pushed the door open into a room and asked the person sitting in front of the glass wall, "Thomas, how's it going?" Did he say yes? ”

Thomas said without looking back: "No, Tony has used a lot of means, and he hasn't agreed." I really don't understand, our CIA treatment is so good, why didn't he agree? ”

Mark lit a cigarette and said, "Hey! Man, you have to know that the Chinese are a strange people, and in the history of mankind, the number of their traitors and heroes is the first in the world, and they call traitors Han Annihilation, which is really a strange name. Well, if he hasn't agreed before 21 o'clock, just dispose of him, do it cleanly, don't show flaws, and don't let those-eating police find out the truth. ”

Thomas looked at the Chinese man tied to a chair inside the glass wall and said, "Okay."

The next morning, the New York Times reported a news: "In the early hours of this morning, a Chinese student at New York University died in his off-campus dormitory, and the police found drugs, syringes and rubber tubes in his room, and initially suspected that the student had died of an overdose of drugs."

What's the biggest thing in the world? The rights are the biggest, the money is the biggest. But for some people, these are all fleeting clouds, not enough to worry about, in the face of transcendent worldly forces, gods and horses are floating clouds.

Zhao Yue, who had a stubble on his face, squatted on the cart containing oranges, holding a red plum stalk in his mouth, revealing a pair of white teeth, smiling at the pedestrians, shouting at the top of his throat: "Fragrant, sweet and cheap oranges!" It's not fragrant, it's not sweet, it's not cheap, it's not money! "Nowadays, people set up stalls and rarely sell them directly with their mouths, and some of them also install electric horns to shout.

A few little girls passing by giggled when they saw him shouting funny.

Zhao Yue took a look, hey! When the business came, he immediately said: "Girls, come and taste it, it's not sweet and you don't need money."

A few little girls pushed each other to come to the front of the cart to see that the oranges were very beautiful, but they didn't know how they tasted, and one of the girls asked: "Strange uncle, how much are oranges a pound?" Zhao Yue bared his teeth and said: "3 yuan a catty, buy more and you are cheaper."

"Why don't you go and grab it!" The little girl pouted and pulled the other girls to turn away.

"Hey! Ay! Ay! Don't go! Uncle hasn't given you a check-up yet! Zhao Yue shouted to the end, and he laughed.

The ringtone of the mobile phone made Zhao Yue stop laughing, and took out the brick-like Nokia and looked at the "00212 ---" and pressed the answer button suspiciously: "Hello, which one?" ”

A voice came from the other party: "Hello! I am Huang Qiqi, a staff member of the Chinese Embassy in New York, are you Mr. Zhao Yue? ”

"Yes, I am, may I ask you what's the matter?"

"Your younger brother Zhao Hao died of an overdose of drugs, the police found drugs and syringes in his room, and the New York police have confirmed the cause of death after a preliminary investigation."

"Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao? Seeing that Zhao Yue didn't reply for a long time, the other party hurriedly called twice.

Zhao Yue came to his senses and said in a low voice: "Are you sure?" ”

"Mr. Zhao, please mourn! If it's convenient for you, please come and claim the body as soon as possible! After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Zhao Yue stood on the corner of the street with his eyes distracted, and after a long time, he pushed the cart back to the rented house in a daze.

"Boy, why did you come back so early today? When is the rent paid? The landlady shouted from the second floor with a broken gong.

"This cart of oranges is your rent," Zhao Yue entered his room without looking back. Closing the door, sitting on the stool, unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, his palms fell on the table, and the huge force instantly turned the table into powder, and swept the entire room.

He finished smoking a pack of cigarettes one after another, walked to the bed and pulled out an ancient sword from under the bed board, the scabbard was simple and colorful.

The "Keng" sword was cut out of its sheath, and suddenly the cold light shone on his face, and a murderous aura came to his face. He snorted, and the monstrous aura emitted from his body forced the murderous aura back. Close to the hilt of the sword shows two large seals "Nether", this is a soft sword, its origin is unknown, leather scabbard, the sword body is made of unknown material, the blade of the sword is cut gold and jade, sharpened iron like clay, the user uses internal qi through the sword body can emit light blue sword qi, the beheaded person is undoubtedly dead. The sword body is full of evil spirits, and it is a peerless murder weapon. If the soul is not strong enough and the will is not strong enough, it will be eaten up by it and become the walking dead. "Qiang" Zhao Yue closed the scabbard, pulled out the belt, wrapped the sword around the waistband of his trousers, took his ID card and all the money and went out.

"Chartered wife, this is your rent, the things in the house and the cart of oranges outside have been given to you," Zhao Yue stuffed the money into the charter wife's hand, and squeezed out a little smile on his sad face and said.

The charter lady said suspiciously: "Boy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Yue waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, something happened at home, and I want to go back." You can pick up my room and rent it to someone else, and thank you for taking care of it all the time. ”

The charter wife said: "It's nothing, it's not easy for you to come from the countryside, and you should take care of a little, nothing big happened at home, right?" ”

"It's not a big deal, you can rest assured, take care of it, I'll come again, go." Zhao Yue turned to his side and waved his hand.

On the train, Zhao Yue didn't sleep all night, thinking about his younger brother repeatedly. He is 33 years old this year, 12 years older than his younger brother, his parents are old and have children, and the whole family loves this 12-year-old brother of Xiao Zhao Yue very much.

Ten years ago, my father was washed away by the flood while guarding the river, and my mother died of depression a few months later. He himself became his elder brother like a father, and raised his younger brother.

Because he has to provide for his younger brother to go to school, he is still not married. My younger brother is also still competitive, his academic performance has been excellent, and he was admitted to New York University for a full scholarship two years ago. He himself has been studying generally since he was a child, but he has an amazing talent for learning and understanding ancient texts and Taoist classics, but he lacks interest in Zhou Yi's life, because doctors do not heal themselves, and in the same way, fortune tellers cannot calculate their own lives and those of their relatives. Everyone doesn't know what he is capable of, and he himself follows the ancient tradition, hiding himself in the vast sea of people, and never revealing his skills in front of others. If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence, and now, the time has come to erupt.

Zhao Yue got off the bus in Guangzhou and stayed in a mid-range hotel.

"Please wait a minute, I want to go to Macau for two days, do you know that there is a travel agency near here?" Zhao Yue stopped the waiter who was about to leave the door.

When the waitress heard him say this, she immediately showed a happy smile and said: "There are several travel agencies stationed in our hotel, and there is just a business of three tours in Macau, do you need to handle it?" I can take you! ”

Zhao Yue said: "Then trouble you"! Immediately, the two went to go through the formalities.

Back in the room, Zhao Yue took a shower, asked the restaurant waiter to deliver a dinner in the middle, and spent a difficult night meditating on the bed.

The next morning, I gathered in the hotel lobby at 7 a.m. and followed the guide to get on the bus to Macau.

When I arrived in Macau, it was already noon, and I had a two-hour rest at the hotel. In the afternoon, the tour group visited the Ruins of St. Paul's, A-Ma Temple, outlying islands, Jockey Club, Sightseeing Tower, Golden Lotus Square, Governor's House, Fisherman's Wharf, Lisboa Casino, after the tour group returned to the hotel at 6 o'clock in the evening, the tour guide said some non-nutritious words such as paying attention to safety, and explained that the lobby would gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and ordered free activities.

"Master, go to the Lisboa Casino!" Zhao Yue went out and got into a taxi.

The taxi driver agreed: "Okay! ”

Zhao Yue took two thousand chips around the casino hall and stopped in front of the dice table to watch others play a few times. Dice (tóuzi), also known as 色 (shǎi), is one of the essential tools for many entertainments, such as playing mahjong and pai gow at the Wynn Bo or BMW Club. The dice here refer to gambling that is purely based on the dice to determine the winner or loser. It is generally used to bet on the size. Sic Bo is a bet placed by each player to the banker. Before each bet, the dealer places the three dice in a covered vessel and shakes them. When the players have finished placing their bets, the banker opens the vessel and pays out the prize. Because the most common bet is the size of the buy dice (a total of 4 to 10 is called small, 11 to 17 is big, except for the round dice), it is also often referred to as buying the size.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten cheats. If the casino doesn't do it, it won't make money.

Shaking dice is a technical job, casinos will generally invite masters to sit, now there are a variety of positioning dice, gold dice, induction dice, remote control dice, 5 seconds dice, etc., but generally famous casinos will not do tricks on the dice, because once someone finds that there is a problem with the dice, it will be discredited, the key is the person who shakes the dice.

Seeing that the dealer put down the dice cup, the gamblers present placed bets one after another, and Zhao Yue lost 2,000 yuan at 2, 3, 6, and 11 points. When the dealer saw that everyone had finished placing their bets, he said, "Buy and leave", and then reached out to open the lid of the cup, 2, 3, 6, 11 o'clock. Some of the gamblers sighed, and some were elated. Zhao Yue bought all the hits, 3 times the odds. He bet several more times in a row, and each time he won all.

Monitor the room.

"Big brother, you see this kid has won the all-in bet several times in a row," a lean young man turned to the middle-aged man in a gray suit sitting on the sofa. Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly got up and walked over, squinting his eyes and staring at the monitoring screen motionlessly, and after a while, he said: "There are no thousands, this kid is a master of listening to dice." Ah Fa, go and call Lei Ye! The young man named Ah Fa hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll go right away," and ran out before he finished speaking.

Because Zhao Yue bet many times in a row, the gamblers around him have seen that something is wrong, and they all began to follow suit, and some enthusiastic gamblers also gave him a seat. The young dealer who was shaking the dice was already sweating profusely, and he kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and at this time Zhao Yue already had 512,000 chips in his hand.

A middle-aged man in his fifties walked over with a few security guards, and the dealer was immediately relieved to see this.

"Xiao Liu, go and rest first, leave it to me here!" The middle-aged man walked over and said to the dealer.

Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Lei! ”

The surrounding gamblers saw this situation and knew that the casino was coming to the master, and they were all waiting.

Mr. Lei picked up the dice cup and shook it a few times, put it on the table, and then said, "Please bet" but looked at Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue pushed all the chips to 1,2,3,6 points and said: "500,000", and the people around him consciously did not follow the bet.

Mr. Lei shouted: "Buy it and leave!" After 3 seconds, he reached out to remove the lid of the cup, and the moment the lid opened, Zhao Yue pressed on the edge of the table and gently tapped the table with his index finger. 1, 2, 3, 6 o'clock small, the surrounding crowd cheered.

Mr. Lei's face turned a little white all of a sudden, "How can this be?" I obviously changed it to 4,4,5 when I uncovered it, how is it still 1,2,3, it looks like I met a master! He was still calm, and hurriedly said to the crowd: "Everyone, this table is temporarily closed, please go to other tables to play first!" He turned his head and said to Zhao Yue with a smile: "This gentleman, there is a VIP room on the second floor, and there happens to be a gambling game today, do you want to go up and play?" ”

Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "I won't go upstairs."

Mr. Lei's face changed, and he said to Ah Fa, "Ah Fa, go get a check for three million US dollars!" ”

Ah Fa hurriedly went upstairs to get a check, Mr. Lei took it and handed it to Zhao Yue and said, "It's a little bit of a respect, please accept it!" ”

Zhao Yue looked at Mr. Lei and said, "I understand what Mr. means, I will leave!" After saying that, he took the check, then pointed to the chips on the table and said, "Help me exchange these for dollars and deposit them in this card" and then took out a card from his pocket.
