Chapter 59, please go upstairs
The meal arranged by the sixth child in the private room on the second floor was very sumptuous, and Ding Xiu and the three of them ate a full meal, not to mention, and when they came out, they also got the bounty they deserved before and a sign engraved with the words "Eastern District Premium Pass".
"The sixth said, with this pass, we can walk around all the venues in the Eastern District, and no one dares to stop us." Shen You held the sign in his hand and played with it, and suddenly proposed with great interest: "Let's eat enough now, let's go shopping." ”
"Okay." Gu Beimo nodded, anyway, the car hasn't fallen yet, and he may be able to encounter some clues when he walks around.
The three of them came to the road and walked slowly in the direction of the surrounding area.
There were more pink-lit shops on the side of the street, and there were scantily clad girls sitting inside, and when they saw someone passing by the door, they got up and twisted their sexy waists to meet them.
"Do you want someone to accompany you? Handsome guys. ”
The girls came to Ding Xiu's side and began to scratch their heads, and some pulled down the collar at the chest that was originally open very low, deliberately revealing the proud career line inside; Some shook their buttocks and signaled that they were "very material".
Shen You looked at these women who suddenly surrounded him, his eyes stayed on their tall breasts for a moment, and then looked down at his chest, and his heart was suddenly depressed.
"No, we'll just take a look." Ding Xiu fended off a woman who wanted to pull his arm.
"Come in and see whatever." Another woman next to her grabbed Ding Xiu, her eyes and tone full of teasing.
Seeing that Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo were entangled by several women, Shen You suddenly shouted loudly: "We have no money." ”
This sentence was like turning off the switch of their enthusiasm, and the women who came out of the store stopped seducing Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo one after another, and prepared to return to the store stupidly.
"We have the money." Gu Beimo suddenly rolled his eyes and shouted at those women.
"Old Gu!" Shen You stared at him.
Gu Beimo waved his hand at the girl, "I'll go in with them and come back, you wait." ”
As he spoke, he ran towards the women's shop, and the figure disappeared into the pink light at the door.
"Humph!" Shen You stomped his feet, don't look like he's puffing.
"Lao Gu has been single for so many years, you can understand him." Ding Xiu persuaded her.
"I understand him, but he can't be so self-respecting." Shen You's eyes were a little red with anger, "He should go to find a woman who admires each other with him, instead of going to this kind of place to have sex with a prostitute." ”
Ding Xiu sighed, and his expression was quite helpless. He remembered that Gu Beimo was obviously very resistant to those women's teasing just now, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, Gu Beimo's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Wait." Ding Xiu said.
The two of them stood on the side of the road and waited, and the comfort they had had eaten and drunk had disappeared without a trace. Shen You crossed his hands in front of his chest, stood on tiptoe and kicked the steps on the side of the road from time to time.
Gu Beimo walked out of the store after a while, and it was less than five minutes since he first entered.
"Lao Gu, so fast?!" Ding Xiu and Shen You were both a little surprised, and the two looked at him and asked.
"Huh? What is so fast, where do you want to go. Gu Beimo was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the two of them had misunderstood themselves.
He pulled Ding Xiu and Shen You aside and explained to them what he had just gone in to do.
It turned out that Gu Beimo entered the store to spend money to buy information, fireworks and willow lanes like the red light district have been a place where dragons and snakes are mixed since ancient times, and it is precisely because there are many people that they are mixed, and all kinds of information will inadvertently gather here, and most people who have a heart like to come and take a walk.
As long as the money is in place, the girls in the store can treat them as inappropriate people, let alone just peddling some news.
Gu Beimo went in and spent some money, and sure enough, he got some clues.
"Ding Xiu, I heard the news of Uncle Quan." Gu Beimo said.
When the three of them met in the afternoon, Ding Xiu told Gu Beimo about the rescue of Shen You, so Gu Beimo knew that the name of the culprit was Uncle Quan.
"That Uncle Kwon is a relative of Kwon Zhilong, the president of the Skull and Bones Society, and is in charge of the casino in the Eastern District, but the man is now dead." Gu Beimo paused and continued: "Since Xiao You was captured by him, our car must be in his hands. ”
"Dead? Haha, sure enough, I'm too old to stand the toss. Shen You laughed happily, looking like he had a big revenge. She remembered that the old man had been stung by Di Bee, and that his waist had been trampled off by herself.
"Shall we go to the casino next?" Ding Xiu asked.
"Yes, although Uncle Quan is dead, his people must know where our car is, let's go." Gu Beimo nodded.
The casino that the three of them were going to was called Huama Casino, which was not far from the underground cage area, and before Gu Beimo came out of the pink-lit shop, he asked the girls for the location.
Ding Xiu and the others walked towards the casino and soon came to its door.
The casino is facing the street and is a three-storey building. Its huge sign hangs above the doorway, and the neon sign outlines the word "Huama" in large numbers.
At the bottom of the sign is a dice icon, and outside the door are several fierce men from the town.
There is more than one casino in Xingtang Town, but the others are very small, and only those who can't control their hands and don't have much money in their pockets like to visit there.
Half of the town's residents are miners, and there are many, many of them who come to the Huama Casino, and almost all of the wages they get from going to the mines are invested in gambling in the casinos or cage areas. Most of the miners have dreams of getting rich overnight. Although everyone knows that the chances of realizing this dream are very slim, extravagant hope always leads them by the nose and leads them into this gold hole.
At the door of the casino, the thugs had just lifted out a gambler with a bruised nose and swollen face and dumped him in a dark alley full of feces on the opposite side. The thugs clapped their hands, their expressions full of disgust and contempt.
This kind of guy who loses all his money and is unwilling to leave almost every night, they pester the people they know or don't know, and try every means to borrow money and turn it over. After being beaten by the thugs, some gamblers still clung to the tables and chairs in the casino until they were beaten and thrown out like dead dogs.
This scene was commonplace for the thugs in the casino, but Ding Xiu was surprised when he watched it.
"They're all like this, and they want to go back to gambling?" He couldn't figure it out in his heart.
"What's so strange about this, gambling is to win and want to win, and if you lose, you want to turn over, so you fall deeper and deeper. Let me tell you, these people are brave enough to spend a lot of money, and their families are not poor without walls. Gu Beimo has a thorough understanding of the psychology of gamblers, although he himself is not good at gambling, but he has dealt with many gamblers. As an intelligence merchant, the information in the hands of gamblers is often the easiest thing for him to get his hands on.
Ding Xiu followed Gu Beimo inside, and sure enough, after showing the sign given by Zhang Yaowei, no one stopped them at the door.
Coming all the way to the hall unimpeded, Ding Xiu saw that there were square and oval tables around him, and each table was full of people, with the sound of dice, roulette and even the scattering of chips one after another. No one pays attention to who is standing next to them, and everyone's eyes are glued to the table, and when the dice cup opens or the roulette wheel is fixed, there is bound to be a sound of surprise or chagrin in the crowd.
The headlights on the top illuminate the inside, and the furnishings in the hall are not high-end, but the atmosphere is rich in money. Inside is a spacious table where four staff members exchange chips, who put bags of money into drawers under the table and then exchange them into stacks of colorful chips and hand them to the guests.
The people who got the chips triumphantly walked to the table they fancied, and they were often greeted by a sexy waiter waiting for them before they even got there.
"Sure enough, it's a gold cave." Gu Beimo said with emotion.
"How do we find Uncle Quan's people?" Ding Xiu asked.
"Uncle Quan's henchmen are not easy to find, but I think as long as we win more money here and become famous, his people will take the initiative to come to us." Gu Beimo thought about it, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"It's like boxing in an underground cage?" Ding Xiu thought that after he won five rounds in a row in the octagonal cage, the referee took him to see Zhang Yaowei, and immediately understood Gu Beimo's plan.
"Yes." Gu Beimo nodded, and said to Shen You, "Let your friends help us." ”
"How can I help?" Shen You asked, "They don't know how to gamble." ”
"Just help me look at other people's cards, let's go to that Texas Hold'em table." Gu Beimo said and went to change some chips, and then took Ding Xiu and Shen You to the selected table and began to take cards and bet.
The gameplay of Texas Hold'em is relatively simple, to put it bluntly, it is a comparison of size, but the steps of dealing cards and betting are quite particular.
Shen You secretly released Di Bee, and through the guidance of pheromones, let them hide on other gamblers at the same table to peek at the hole cards in front of others.
With Di Bee's help, Gu Beimo knew the cards in these people's hands very clearly, and when he bet and raised, he often regarded it as a stroke of genius.
"Wow!" For a while, there were exclamations on the table, and the chips in front of Gu Beimo were quickly piled up like a small mountain, attracting the sideways glances of the people around him.
Half an hour later, the news of a "Texas Emperor" in Huama Casino spread, and more and more gamblers came to Gu Beimo's gambling table to watch, wanting to see the true face of this "God of Gamblers".
"Brother, shake hands, dip your fairy spirit and return to your roots tonight."
"Master, do you want to accept apprentices? The younger brother brings tea, hands water, washes his feet, wipes his buttocks, and is proficient in everything. ”
……
The people around him were extremely noisy, but Gu Beimo calmly continued to bet, raise or fold there, and every hand he pressed was extremely accurate, and when he finally flopped, the cards were always better.
The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded.
At this time, a group of people came over from the back of the hall, they separated the crowd, and one of the leading guys walked straight to Gu Beimo's side and said to him politely: "Sir, please upstairs." ”
"Upstairs?" Gu Beimo said in his heart, "It's finally here", but he pretended to be puzzled on his face.
"Your winning chips are no longer suitable for playing in the hall, we have prepared a room for you upstairs, please."
The leader spoke politely, but the meaning was a little tough.
Gu Beimo didn't care, he glanced at the chips on the table and asked, "What about these?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the lead opposite clapped his hands, and someone immediately came behind him with two boxes specially filled with chips.
