October 2nd, evening, half past six.

"Then, it seems that everyone's dining process is very pleasant~" Wen Yifan smiled and clapped his hands and sat on the main seat of the long table, "Then I don't know, are the groups ready to participate in the first round of the crazy game?" ”

The only seven people left on the long table were silent, Fang Cai's dinner was not as Wen Yifan said, in fact, there was one thing they had to admit, the owner's craftsmanship was very good, not inferior to the chef of some big hotels, which was very particular about the taste and nutritional combination of the three meals, as well as the exquisiteness.

Unfortunately, after the first night and the whole morning of this day, everyone has really felt that there is a certain thick barrier that has gradually formed, and they have begun to become afraid to communicate with the members of other groups, and they have begun to subconsciously want to feel at ease when they stand with the three members of their group all the time, which is reflected except for a very few people or people who already know each other.

The kidnappers, who were supposed to work together, were quickly split into countless small groups under the huge pressure of guns and the game itself, which had a great sense of oppression, and this is exactly what Wen Yifan wanted to see.

The establishment of small groups is the first manifestation of the disintegration of large groups.

"Then now, I announce," Wen Yifan smiled at the corner of his mouth, "the first crazy night—start now!" ”

The seven of them took a deep breath at the same time, but they all put their hands under the table, looking at each other warily.

"Before the game starts, may I say something to everyone?" Zhang Yu suddenly stood up, "'You just need to follow the rules that are made', I don't think you said it, you can't show each other's decks and talk to each other during the game!" ”

"Please, Officer Zhang," Wen Yifan smiled, "You can do whatever you want, I will remember the order of everyone's cards, after all, there is no end time for the crazy night, you can discuss it at will." ”

"In this case, I will be relieved," Zhang Yu straightened his collar, "First of all, I would like to ask you a question about what I have observed and how everyone behaved on this day: Were we kidnapped here?" ”

"Officer Zhang, start talking about this now, aren't you afraid that the owner of the house will kill you with one shot?" This is the representative sent by the "No. 5 House" - Sun Liwen.

"I don't think the owner of the house has any rules that limit the content of the conversation, in other words, even if we talk about how to kill the owner now, it probably won't be a problem, right? Mr. Houseowner? Zhang Yu turned his head to look at Wen Yifan, who just nodded and looked at him with interest, "Since everyone admits that we are all victims of being kidnapped here, why did everyone who should have been united suddenly become suspicious of each other from this morning?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Jia Chengren asked.

"That's the case, I hope that everyone can see the reality clearly, instead of being disturbed by others, so that we, who should be united to find a way out, become as suspicious of each other as we are now." Zhang Yu paused, adjusted his aura and said: "If everyone can agree with what I said, then maybe I can continue to speak." ”

"Agreed." Mo Sheng was the first to raise his hand, "Officer Zhang, I am a judge, and I am a defender of the law like you, so I don't think that Mr. Houseowner's behavior has anything to do with legality, and when fighting with criminals, the victims should be the most united." ”

"I agree." Sun Liwen immediately said, "Only unity can win." ”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

In the sound of response, Zhang Yu just slowly turned his head and looked at Wen Yifan who was sitting in the main seat, Wen Yifan was just sitting there quietly at this moment, tapping his right finger on the table, his face seemed to be smiling, and he couldn't see a trace of emotion. As if noticing Zhang Yu's gaze, Wen Yifan was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and showed a gentle smile: "Officer Zhang is doing a very good job." ”

"It's just what a policeman should do," Zhang Yu replied, and then his eyes scanned the crowd and said, "Okay, since you have chosen to believe in me and believe in each other." Then we are one step closer to victory, listen well......"

"I've mastered the rules of this game."

Zhang Yu looked at the surprised crowd with a smile and continued: "Don't be surprised, it's the law of victory, that is, the law of a draw if you don't need to die a person!" ”

"I don't think Mr. House Owner will stop me from speaking out!" Zhang Yu looked at Wen Yifan, "Or, Mr. House Owner, do you want to change the rules temporarily?" ”

"Rest assured, I will not tolerate any cheating, including myself." Wen Yifan replied with a smile.

"Well, first of all, I want you to think about how you can keep everyone's scores even in the final score?" Zhang Yu asked, seeing that no one answered, he continued, "In fact, the answer is hidden in the hands of each of us, that is, everyone's final score is equal to (15+1)×15/2=120 points, which is the guarantee of the final draw." ”

So how do you guarantee that? , one person plays a card, and everyone gives up? This is Qin Xiufang's voice, she is one of the members of the "Second House", "But if that's the case, then I'm afraid it won't be long before we will be killed for giving up too many times!" ”

"Of course not," Zhang Yu smiled when he heard this, "If you give up four times, you will kill one person, another way of saying this rule is that if you don't want to die, each group can give up to three times, but my method doesn't even need to use these three times to give up." ”

"I call it the 'Parallel Completion Method,'" Zhang Yu continued to explain, looking around, "Imagine that in each round, we were able to cooperate to ensure that at least one of them got the corresponding score of seven cards, would it be the end of the day that everyone would have the same score?" ”

"So the condition for this winning method is that we sit down in the order of the numbers marked by the group on the first night, and then start playing from Mr. Hu, the position of 'House One', and the rules are as follows: "First, House 1 plays the '15' hand with the lowest number but the highest score, then the 'House 2' representing the second seat plays another '14', and then the 'House 3' plays a '13', and so on. ”

"Since there are only seven of us, when we finish a round, Mr. Jia Chengren in the 'House of Seven' will get so many points (15+14+13+12+11+10+9) in this round of the game, we can not rush to calculate it for the time being, and then watch the next night's ......"

"On the second night, I need the representative of the 'second house' to sit at the first of the cards, and the representative of the second house will play a '15' first, then the third house will follow up with '14', the fourth house will follow up with '13', and so on, then the group that finally gets the score of this round (15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9) will be the first house at the end of the card order." Zhang Yu explained, "If we continue like this, we will be able to make all the groups participating in this game get (15+14+13+12+11+10+9) points in seven days, and achieve equal scores." ”

"Immediately after that, we skipped the card of '8', and it was still the first '7' in house 1, and '6' in house 2...... And so on, in the end, the last house of seven will get (7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) points, and at this moment combined with those points obtained in the previous seven days, we can get a total score of 120-8 = 112 points in house seven, and after seven days, we can complete the average of all hands except '8' into everyone's score, and in the end, everyone will have only one '8' left in their hand,' If you don't have a higher hand in your hand, it doesn't count as a check, and you shouldn't have forgotten this rule! ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up a little smile, Zhang Yu spread his hands and asked, "Okay, is there anyone now, what questions do you have?" ”

"It's a good way, but there's a huge omission in the middle, have you found it?" Jia Chengren asked, "How do you solve the rule that after more than four days, "one person will be eliminated from the minimum score every day"? You know, in the past four days, we have only four groups with the same score, and three groups with zero scores, is it possible that three people will die? ”

"That's a good question, maybe we should ask some 'two-faced man' hidden among us!" Zhang Yu smiled and explained: "Do you still remember that when you filled in your name, there was a person who filled out two name cards? ”

"We all know that originally we were twenty-one people, and after one person was shot, there would be only two people left in the group, so ......," Zhang Yu raised a finger, "and with the rule of 'the top five teams choose one person to be executed', this problem will be solved." ”

"I don't know if you still remember the name of the young man who was shot, but it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, because I still remember," Zhang Yu smiled, his expression full of confidence, "His name is Li Chengdong, and he is a friend of Zhang Zijie, a member of the team representing Qin Xiufang in the second house, and the rules mentioned above only say that you can choose 'your own team members', and it doesn't say whether you are alive or dead, so ......"

"Change the card rules between groups a little, so that every time the last person to get the score is the group of Li Chengdong who has been replaced, so that you can always execute the dead?" Zhang Yu looked at Wen Yifan, who was thinking not far away, with a victor's attitude, "So now, after the end of this round of the game, tell everyone this winning rule, let the 'two-faced man' stand up and announce which room the original Li Chengdong was selected into, and then adjust the order of cards, and this game will be self-defeating." ”

"How? Mr. Owner, are you planning to cheat? ”

After hearing this, Wen Yifan raised his head slowly, his expression was very calm, he couldn't see a trace of emotion, he looked at the high-spirited Zhang Yu, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's really naïve, such a rudimentary method and obvious flaws, dare you say that it is the law of victory?"
