1. Death is coming
Luck, this thing is absolutely magical.
People always put the word "luck" on their lips, but no one knows what "luck" looks like, and no one knows how to control "luck" in their hands, but some people are particularly lucky, and some people are particularly unlucky.
I think I'm just a lucky person.
Although my work and career are average, I at least have a stable home and a wife who loves me and cares about me; Although my family conditions are average, my parents are in good health; Although my sister is not very worry-free, she is now considered a female boss; Although I was always involved in all kinds of troubles last year, and I almost died a few times, Zuihou I was always able to save the day and still have a lot of income.
So overall, I'm in luck.
But there's always someone who is luckier than me, or who uses his luck for something really meaningful, like the lottery.
The lottery is indeed a good thing, it can make people rich overnight, and live a worry-free life from now on, if you don't have any big ambitions, just want to live this life normally, then the money from winning the jackpot is enough for a lifetime, which is also my dad's ideal.
Unfortunately, we didn't win, and my dad's biggest winnings so far haven't exceeded four figures.
So my dad is always very envious and jealous of those lucky winners, especially this year, the lottery station where my dad always goes has four jackpots in a row! Although the identity of the lottery winner is not known,But the lottery station is on fire,Even many people from other cities and counties will run to the lottery station,And do not buy their own research number,It costs two dollars,To a note machine selection.
weishenme to do this?
Because these four consecutive jackpots all have the same pattern: only one bet is bought at random, and it is a random selection.
I didn't take it seriously when my dad mentioned the first two winners to me, but after a fourth single-line machine-picked winner appeared at the same lottery station at the end of February, I began to think that these didn't seem to be pure coincidences or pure luck.
At the beginning of March, my suspicions were confirmed, and something happened to my family!
On the morning of March 3rd, a rare guest came to my detective agency, Tang Hui.
Tang Hui and I haven't seen each other for months, and we haven't even made phone calls. Since last winter, I have been running around the country, and even went to sea, while Tang Hui can only stay at home and be ready to deal with all kinds of difficult cases, we each have our own things to be busy with, so it is normal that we do not meet.
But Tang Hui's sudden visit today really surprised me, he didn't call in advance, and in fact, he didn't come to look for me, but suddenly wanted to come and sit when he passed by me.
After Tang Hui entered the living room, he sat on the sofa, and then leaned his head back on the back of the sofa, looking very tired.
"What's the trouble?"
"Hey, if we insist on saying that it's trouble, it's our own trouble. Do you know that someone in our city has been crazy about winning the jackpot in the past month? Tang Hui said on the sofa.
"You know, my dad always told me that there were four people who won the jackpot when they won the jackpot."
"It's true that they won the lottery, but it's not just the lottery, including the invoice winning when they buy luxury goods later, and the shopping points roll winning, anyway, as long as it involves the lottery and the like, they will win the lottery, just like being possessed by the god of windfall!"
"Windfall God ?!!" I am very sensitive to the word chosen by Tang Hui!
"I'm just making a casual analogy, but even if they were possessed by the God of Wealth, it doesn't seem to be a good thing now, these lucky guys are all dead, and they died very strangely."
"All dead? Hit the jackpot and make a windfall all dead? I was surprised.
"yes, that's the trouble I'm in. One of five people, four of whom won the lottery and another who was a waste picker, had never bought a lottery ticket but picked up a bag of money at the dump and then pulled out a box of diamond jewelry from a stinky fish. Then, just when they were at the head of their fortune, they died one after another, either slipping and falling on the back of their heads, or in a car accident, or falling objects from a high altitude...... It's just ...... It's death coming. ”
First the god of windfall, then the god of death, I know that Tang Hui did not mean to bring the word "god" to me at this time, but his words still cause me to think.
The gods have descended!
Ever since I came back, I've been wondering, what is the effect of these completely unethical guys? Now it seems that the repercussions are already being felt.
What are the odds of winning a single bet at the same lottery station? What is the probability of winning four bets in a row in the same place? What is the probability of picking up a bag of money in a garbage dump and digging up a diamond in a stinky fish? And what is the probability that these lucky people will die in an accident?
These are obviously no coincidences, someone is behind the scenes.
Perhaps the word "human" is not appropriate, and this seems to be what bothers Tang Hui.
"Team Lei suspects that someone killed someone out of jealousy, and I don't think it can be such a coincidence in the world, but guess what we found?" Tang Hui asked with his eyes closed.
"What a coincidence did you find out?"
"It's not! We found out that every deceased's home had been broken into and all of them had lost something, so Team Ray's suspicions were correct, and there were indeed people who were jealous of these five lucky ones! But here's the problem, if these five people didn't die suddenly, we wouldn't know that they won the lottery! Even if the people at the lottery station can recall the four lottery players before, but the person who picked up the waste he can't know at all, and the murderer has become a complete mystery! Now that there is a death order from above, demanding that the case must be solved within a week, isn't this trying to force us to death? ”
"Damn, what age is this, and this way of pressure?" I laughed.
"It has nothing to do with the era, no matter what time we pay attention to a political achievement, where does the political performance of the police come from, it must be reflected in the solving rate, especially the solving rate of homicides, which must reach 100%! And it's not enough to have a crime solving rate, you must also ensure speed. Isn't that, you say? Hey, it's annoying! ”
"Then do you need me to help you solve this case?"
Tang Hui was obviously taken aback by my voluntary proposal, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me and said, "You...... You said you wanted to help me solve this case? You don't think it's a ghost-related case, do you? By the way, what about Qiao Wei? ”
"He went to Yunnan with his parents, saying that he wanted to discuss getting married, and he probably wouldn't be back within a month, but I can now support my own business. Also, this case shouldn't have much to do with ghosts, but I still think I can help. ”
Tang Hui looked at me with strange eyes, then shook his head and said, "No, you must know something, even if it has nothing to do with ghosts, there must be another mystery, right?" ”
"Alright! If you really want to hear what I think, then make sure you are in your own mind. ”
"What mentality?"
"I'd rather believe it!" I said solemnly.
