Most people can only see what they want to see, whether it's an avid gambler or an angry executive. What they see is only the outcome of a gamble in front of them, but they can't see that there are so many complex factors hidden behind this victory.

In the end, the most sober people were those who were in the game, such as Lu Jia and the young man......

Of course, it also includes Xiang Yun.

At this point, she put on her coat again and walked briskly down the long hallway behind the casino. She held a small box in her hand and held it to her ear, listening carefully to its beeping. This sound is fixed at first glance, but if you listen to it all the way with Xiang Yun, you will find that in fact, its frequency also changes, at first the interval between the two sounds is very long, and then the interval is slowly shortened, until now it has become this frequent dripping sound. It sounds like there's something else going on.

In fact, this is the latest simple tracking device developed by the Police Research Unit. Its receiver is this small box, and the transmitter part is as thin as a film, which can be easily attached to various places. Although it is too simple to represent specific information such as position and direction, it has the advantage of simple signal and stable transmission, in which case it can at least identify the distance to the target, which is very useful.

The beeps that sound at this point are the content of the signal. The closer it is to the target within the effective range, the shorter the interval between sounds, and by the time it continues to sound, it means that it is quite close to the target.

Before the game just now, Xiang Yun had secretly pasted some of the black chips in the drawer on the transmitter in advance. Although the transmitter is limited in concealment, as long as you touch it carefully, you can find that the chips are thicker and the feel is different. But if only a few of the chips in the pile have been tampered with, it is unlikely that the other party will confirm them one by one.

But if you want to give away a bunch of chips in one go, wouldn't you need the other party to cooperate with the bet and win her hard?

Yes, at that time, Xiang Yun had already foreseen that she would lose a lot of chips in one go—rather, she had deliberately lost it from the beginning.

From the moment he left the ponytail, Xiang Yun had been on guard against his small tricks. The previous dealer's reminder was on the one hand, and on the other hand, because the contrast between the other party's performance before and after was too great, which made her suspect that there were other plans here. After that, there were no particularly obvious flaws in the ponytail's series of performances, and the advancement of emotions was also logical, but from the beginning, Xiang Yun did not treat him as an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires, after all, real ordinary people can't make themselves completely disappear from the sight of the crowd all of a sudden, and suddenly jump out to attract the attention of the world.

Stripped of emotions and superstitions, his behavior becomes odd. For example, when it comes to betting, if he really wants to gradually reduce the number of coverage while betting all the numbers, then he will not bet at all in the first hand, but should wait until two numbers are drawn before betting on thirty-four numbers in one go, because the bet is bound to lose money if there are still thirty-five alternative numbers. In the same way, the time he pressed all his chips in one go was also thirty-five numbers, which was completely unreasonable.

It's like luring Xiang Yun to open the only number.

However, this just gave Xiang Yun a great opportunity. Even as a cameo dealer, she always remembers that her real mission on board was to catch the two men trading artifacts, not to help make money at the illegal casino. During that period of observation, she could see that Lu Jia and Ponytail had already recognized each other, but perhaps because they hadn't seen each other before, the two didn't fully trust each other - to be precise, Lu Jia, as a seller, didn't trust Ponytail.

In this case, the hand with the ponytail exposed can be regarded as a vote of fame, not only selling personal favors to Lu Jia to make a small profit, but also directly showing his own level, so that the other party can at least trust his ability. After trusting, he was naturally about to start trading, so Xiang Yun simply pushed the boat down the river, pretending to be a scheming and letting him slaughter the knife.

By the way, I also took the opportunity to pay out the chips and sent out the transmitter for tracking.

Although those chips were scattered by Lu Jia a lot on the spot, most of them were still taken away by him. Those who picked up the chips and continued to gamble might sooner or later discover the mystery on it, but by that time, Xiang Yun had already followed the supervisor who came to hold him accountable. Even if the casino was in turmoil and the people on the boat started to track it down, she would have plenty of room to deal with it.

And the transmitters that Lu Jia took away allowed her to bypass the long corridor and track all the way to a place separated by a wall between the two of them. This is a room at the end of the corridor on the lowest floor, near the edge of the hull. The sound insulation effect of the wall here is not good, and the other party did not close the door completely, so even the sound of speech can be heard clearly.

"This game just now is really exciting, little brother, your wrist is okay, I Lu admire it very much."

"Where is it, Mr. Lu, you are willing to lower your body and cooperate with me, this is the demeanor of a general!"

After a few words of mutual praise, Xiang Yun heard the crisp sound of the glass hitting lightly, thinking that the two should have touched the wine glass. She closed the box, and took advantage of the gap between the two of them to raise their heads and drink, and walked lightly along the wall, leaning against the half-open door and cautiously poking her head out to look in.

She saw the two sitting facing each other in the center of the room, each with a polite smile on their faces. Between them was a low glass coffee table, on which the two wine glasses that had just finished were placed. There was a wooden box on Lu Jia's right hand, which looked almost twenty centimeters high. That's just enough to fit a head.

It is also the size of the crystal skull.

According to the common "one hand to pay and one hand to deliver" in the movie, there should be a suitcase full of banknotes on the ponytail at this time. However, this level of trading has been out of the category of money, after all, Lu Jia is the kind of person who can casually scatter millions of yuan in chips, and the price at which an ordinary cultural relic can be sold is nothing to him. On the other hand, the people who can trade with him are definitely not much different, and at this level, if you really want any cultural relics, you can directly go to the black market to buy them. Money can make ghosts grind, as long as the reward is high enough, let alone a national second-class cultural relic, I'm afraid even national treasures can be stolen from you.

Therefore, Xiang Yun recognized a fact from the moment he knew that the prisoner was Lu Jia: this transaction would not be a simple barter of money, but would involve some higher-level interest exchange. In this relationship, even Lu Jia is the weak party, with his status and status, he has to take such a big risk to steal a small cultural relic in person, the only explanation is that he wants to vote for someone's favor, and he has to do it himself to show his sincerity.

This also explains why he is so affectionate to ponytails. Although the identities of the two are different, and the class shown on the ship is even more different, but Ponytail is the person sent by the other party to deal with this transaction, he does not represent himself, but the force behind him that even Lu Jia has to ask for it, so it seems that he is like a minister.

This also made Xiang Yun more curious about the inside story behind them. Although if he rushed in now, he would directly get all the stolen goods, but Xiang Yun still calmed down and chose to listen to their conversation first.

And in the room, after a short exchange of pleasantries, the two looked like they were finally about to get down to business.

"To be honest, little brother, it's really not easy to get this crystal skull this time." Lu Jia let out a long sigh, "I said that it took a lot of life, but it is really not an exaggeration at all, there are too many constraints." In comparison, it's much easier to intrigue with those old foxes in the mall...... So, a lot of things really can't be bought with money, you say. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked straight at the ponytail, and the latter smiled and nodded, but it was a little unanswered: "Yes, for example, health is like that." Even if you can cover more hospitals, no amount of money can get back the 'health' thing. ”

Lu Jia was slightly stunned, and then patted the wooden box beside him with a smile.

"That's right, that's it!" He said with a grin, "Health is the most important thing, money can be earned again, power can be fought for, but only health is gone, unless there is a miracle!" It's because money can't buy it, so these miraculous things are so valuable, no matter what the cost, as long as you can get it, it's worth it! ”

"I know the magic of this crystal skull." Ponytail nodded, "But since it's such a precious thing, why doesn't Mr. Lu keep it for himself?" ”

"Hey, the sword is given to the martyrs, and I have to see if I deserve it!"

He solemnly put the wooden box on the coffee table, and said passionately: "Come, you take this back, just say that it was given to Boss Huang by Lu Shanren from Tianjing, I wish him no illness!" With this, he will not have a headache again, and the medicine will get rid of the disease! ”

The moment he put the box on the coffee table, Xiang Yun noticed that the ponytail's brow furrowed slightly. She was thinking about whether the other party should grab it, but suddenly heard the ponytail say lightly.

"I wish him never sickness, that's a very interesting thing to say."

Lu Jia smiled: "Didn't he say it himself, with a crystal skull, you can cure the head wind......

"It's a crystal skull...... Ponytail pointed at the box on the table out of the corner of his eye, "but listen to the sound, it's a gun inside." ”

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and Xiang Yun's brain was briefly blank because of this sudden turn, but her eyes faithfully recorded every detail of the brief confrontation between the two.

The smile on Lu Jia's face stiffened for a moment, he suddenly stepped back, and the hands that were originally pressed on both sides of the box quickly moved to the back, opening the partition with one hand and probing in with the other.

By the time his back was pressed against the couch, he had a small, lightweight Browning pistol in his hand. At this moment, Lu Jia raised his wrist and was about to point the gun forward, a series of movements should have been like flowing water. However, just as he was about to make this action, he paused stiffly, Lu Jia's hideous expression froze in an instant, and his body was stiff as if he had been cursed.

In this almost absolute stillness, a drop of cold sweat suddenly emerged from the corner of Lu Jia's forehead, slid down the arc of his cheek rapidly, and finally dripped from his chin. It landed on a shiny blade and shattered into four petals, making a clear sound in the dead silence.

"Who the hell are you!" Lu Jia hissed.

The dagger in the ponytail's hand was now on his neck, and the blade was directly pressed against the carotid artery, and it only took a little further to make the gushing blood sway out like a fountain. Hearing Lu Jia's question, the young man smiled slightly, raised his free hand and grabbed the side of his cheek, and with a little force, he tore off a human skin mask.

"Xifeng, Meng Chuanbai." Word for word, he said, "Come and clear the portal." ”
