Chapter 60: Underground Casinos

Chen Anshan was sent to a nearby hospital, and after examination, the doctor gave a diagnosis of poisoning.

"Did the doctor get food poisoning?"

"The exact situation will not be known until the test report comes out. However, the patient's superficial symptoms should not be food poisoning. ”

Chen Anshan was still in a coma in the ward, and Su Zhe and Li Quan couldn't ask him more about the cause of the poisoning.

Soon Chen Xiang rushed to the hospital, saw Su Zhe and the others, and immediately asked anxiously: "Brother Su, Lao Li, how is the situation of Anshan?"

Su Zhe relayed the doctor's diagnosis to Chen Xiang.

"How could it be poisoned?" Chen Xiang was surprised.

In the past few days, Chen Xiang knew that Chen Anshan had been in the hotel most of the time, and he went to Jiangjingchangkou twice during this time. Meals are either solved at the hotel, or they are all in the relatively clean Chinese and Western restaurants nearby, where does this poisoning come from?

Chen Xiang couldn't figure it out, and Su Zhe and Li Quan didn't know it either.

"Brother Su, is Anshan's life in danger?" Chen Xiang said worriedly.

"Not yet. ”

Things have become a little weird, according to what Chen Xiang said, Chen Anshan spent most of his time in the hotel, and it wasn't food poisoning, what kind of poisoning was it?

But let them guess whether there is no, everything still has to wait for the test report.

Today I want to talk to Chen Anshan about wax skin stone, how he is still in a coma, and the original plan is to give up. After waiting at the hospital for a while, I learned from the hospital staff that the test report will not come out until tomorrow morning at the latest.

Even if Su Zhe and the others wanted to know how Chen Anshan was poisoned, he was in a coma at the moment, and he didn't know when he would wake up, so he didn't stay in the hospital.

Su Zhe and Li Quan left, and Chen Xiang asked them to wait for a while, and he would leave later.

"Boss Chen, don't you have to take care of Mr. Chen?" knew that Chen Xiang was going to do business, but Chen Anshan had an accident in front of him, and the two were relatives, so he couldn't be left alone in the hospital.

"Later, my mother-in-law will come over. Chen Xiang said.

"There is something important to do today, and we have to rush over. ”

Su Zhe was curious, what was more important than Chen Anshan's poisoning. Glancing at Li Quan, Su Zhe asked, "Boss Chen, did you have any good wool here, and you hid it to prevent us from knowing." ”

"Brother Su is wronged, if there is really good wool, I will be the first to inform you. Chen Xiang said. After a pause, seeing Su Zhe and Li Quan's doubts in their eyes, he asked, "Lao Li, there is an underground casino on Shihe Street, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Li Quan thought for a while and nodded, "There should be no one in Kuncheng City who doesn't know about that underground casino, and that casino should have been opened by Liu Changqiao if I remember correctly." That guy has a big backstage, so the casino has been open for so many years, and no one dares to move. Every year, they give a lot of gifts to the government, unless the top is strict, and the local government agencies almost turn a blind eye. ”

Su Zhe didn't know who Liu Changqiao was, but he had heard of the underground casino on Shihe Street. However, he didn't understand how Chen Xiang mentioned this casino, could it be that he didn't play gambling stones recently, and learned from others to gamble on other things.

"Maybe you don't know, that casino has been playing gambling stones in the past two months. There is one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Nowadays, it attracts many more people than when the gambling stall was opened before. ”

"Playing gambling stones?" Su Zhe was puzzled, "How can this be played, is it like we usually sell rough stones in casinos?"

Chen Xiang smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Su, just selling rough stones, any stone is tens of thousands, do you think that everyone who goes to the casino every night has hundreds of thousands." ”

This Su Zhe really doesn't understand.

At present, he is only in contact with the two steps of selling gambling stones at the entrance of the market and then solving the stones. If you get a good jade, either Li Quan or Wei Degang will buy it on the spot.

Chen Xiang explained: "Now the gambling stone game in the casino is provided by the people in the casino with five stones, and they call this game 'Tang monk master and apprentice learning scriptures', and some people call it 'Journey to the West'. The dealer buys back five pieces of jadeite wool, and what the gambler has to do is to judge which piece of wool can be gambled according to the quality of the jadeite wool. At the end of the day, if one of the pieces is in the best condition, that one wins. ”

Su Zhe became interested and asked, "How to play this? Wouldn't those who don't know how to gamble on stones be cheated?"

"What's wrong with this, even if you don't understand it the first time, you will understand it if you lose a few times. And the casino is divided into four steps, first let the gambler observe the wool, can touch, can discuss. Although Kuncheng is not a major gambling city, there are still many people who know how to gamble on stones. Bets can be placed based on other people's opinions. ”

"Then it's time to place your bets. Gamblers who feel that there is a trend of gambling on which piece of wool has a tendency to gamble, they can go to the casino to place a bet. This bet is usually kept secret, but if the gamblers want to exchange opinions with each other, the casino people can't stop it. It's like betting on horses in Hong Kong, if someone is optimistic about that piece of wool, it doesn't matter if other acquaintances make a little money. But this is not usually said. ”

"Why?" asked Su Zhe.

"Brother Su, if you think about it, gambling on stones does not rely on experience, but also on luck. Since they were made by the dealer, do you think those five stones are really rough stones? Maybe the five stones selected are almost all made of hands and legs. ”

There is never a shortage of people to make a home for things with huge profits, and in an industry like gambling stones, a stone, in a better condition, will be sold for millions. If a piece of scrap is forged and sold as a good-quality wool material, I don't know how much profit it makes.

At the entrance of the Jiang Entrance, Su Zhe did not encounter the forged wool, which was only due to his perspective ability. However, it is not false that there are fake wool sales in the market. For example, if there are some exterior looks good, but after cutting it and ignoring it, the staff at the entrance will reconnect it and restore it to its original appearance.

This situation is called 'borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul'. Experienced Kexin is judged by whether the interface is a grain or a line, but if the experience is not good, it is easy to look away. Especially when it comes to rusty shells, even the old rivers and lakes will be planted and fighting.

"The third step is calcite. Chen Xiang continued, "Five stones are put up, if the best quality one is opened, and there is a gambling stone down to that piece, it belongs to him to win." And during the calcing period, if there is fog, or green, the dealer can make the game more exciting, and can make people raise. However, the price of the raise must be twice as much as the highest digit of the original bet. If the bet is completely raised, the money received can only be 30%. ”

"That's fine. Will someone raise?"

Chen Xiang laughed: "Why not, think about it, it turns out that the highest bet is 1,000, and after the green, he will make 2,000, and he can earn 600 if the real bet rises." It's really green, a lot of people are throwing money down!"

Su Zhe thought about it, not to mention three percent, I'm afraid that one percent will also take this risk. Out of the fog or green, the dealer also has to take a big risk. And in this case, it is equivalent to half of the points seen in the cup, and the harvest of three percent is not less.

It's very interesting to listen to Chen Xiang's introduction, Su Zhe thought that there would be nothing to do later, Li Quan had nothing important at hand for the time being, and took advantage of the time for the afternoon "Tang monk and apprentice to learn scriptures" to take a look.

Shihe Street is a historical street in Kuncheng, and now the economic center of Kuncheng is a different area, but before the 90s, Shihe Street was equivalent to the entire economic lifeline of Kuncheng. At that time, all trade transactions were carried out here, and in the nineties, during the period of reform and opening up, real estate sprung up.

However, the good times did not last long, with the re-planning of the economic center area in the city, the emergence of various macro-control of banks, and the government's adjustment of the property market, the real estate that soon emerged became unfinished buildings in the past few years.

The casino opened on Shihe Street is an above-ground casino, but it is blatantly opened in an abandoned and unfinished building. The lower two floors have been painted, and after decoration, they don't look bad on the outside.

Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he saw a plaque hanging on the casino that read "Chess and Card Entertainment Center". This name is too frustrating, and it is better to change it to "Chess and Card Activity Center for the Elderly".

There was no one guarding the door, but when I pushed the door in, two people who looked like casino watchers stepped forward and signaled for a search.

"Go, I'll come every day, and I'll search for hair!" Chen Xiang expressed dissatisfaction.

A young man with a slightly thin face and a gray coat spoke: "Ghost is worried, of course we recognize you who have retreated a few meters when you see ghosts, but these two are fresh faces." You know our rules here, don't make it difficult for us. ”

"These two are my acquaintances"

"If the ghost is worried, let them search it, and they won't lose meat. Li Quan interrupted Chen Xiang's words, "I don't think they will touch your pants with a heavy taste." ”

"Get out, they dare, Lao Tzu immediately hardened up and let them lick!"

Chen Xiang is a common word, and he has long been accustomed to his vulgar words, so he didn't care about it. After searching his body, Su Zhe followed Chen Xiang in.

Entering along the corridor, the decoration outside is really like a chess and card center, and there are several tables of men and women playing mahjong on the side of the outer hall, and even old people playing cards.

But around the corner, it's really different to go up another staircase. The above casino has all kinds of gambling equipment, because it is daytime, not many people are playing. The staff in the venue are dressed in similar clothes to the staff of a regular casino.

Su Zhe noticed that in addition to the "patrol" officers walking back and forth in the field, the waiters, including the dealers, were all beautiful girls who were about 18 to 23 years old. Su Zhe was full of tsk, this boss is really good at doing business. Find an eye-catching girl to be a dealer, and the gambler's pocket will have to pay a little more.

There was still no movement outside, and Su Zhe thought that Chen Xiang was lying to him.

Turning a corner again, the situation in front of him suddenly made Su Zhe dumbfounded.
