"As Mr. Detective reasoned earlier, I did have a relationship with the math professor named Fishers."

Despite the inexplicable turmoil, Miss Natsu casually brought the topic back to the topic.

"On board the United Royal, I was deeply puzzled by the fact that the lingonberries lost the roulette wheel and disembarked without saying a word. At this time, the old man suggested that I visit the detective agency in Feiyun City, and he thought that if it was Detective Hugo who introduced him to this consultant job, he would know the truth about the whole incident. ”

The actress lady patiently explained how she visited the Hasu Residence. is worthy of being an active movie star, speaking elegantly and calmly, not the same as a novice director with excessive enthusiasm like Douzi, and even more different from a superpowered person who often interacted with in the past.

While the detective silently scored the client in his heart, Nazi continued-

"And after Miss Douzi's previous explanation, I already know why the Lingonberry King deliberately lost the second round of betting. It's amazing how you can know first-hand about the game so early, and even more so than I am...... You can't have sent an undercover agent within that order, right? ”

"Uh, no, that should just happen to know......"

Bilan held her forehead with a headache and glanced at the embarrassed Douzi beside her.

This junior concealed the fact that N himself was the source of information in the description, but the only witnesses to the roulette game were a few people in the glass gambling room at the time, and with a little elimination, you can know who the "undercover agent" who leaked secrets at will is.

However, for Nazi, who doesn't know the position of the green-haired youth, this will probably be a deep and difficult puzzle to solve.

"Forget it, for the sake of the mechanism on the business card you explained to me just now, I'll let you go for now. But ......"

The superpowered girl rested her index finger on her chin, recalling the excited smile on the face of the bilberry before the game began.

Then, Nazi uttered words that negated the detective's reasoning-

"To be honest, I don't think that bilberry guy will cowardly choose to fail just because of the oppression of external forces. As far as I know, he's a true gambler, and he wouldn't hesitate to throw a lot of money at a mixed dilemma - running away with his tail between his legs or something, it's really not like a lingonberry. ”

"It's not alike. On the United Royale, Bilberry is not a real gambler, but a fraudster with superb acting skills. ”

Detective Hugo disagreed, and calmly put forward the counter-argument -

From the moment Bilberry began to work with the Business Alliance, he gave up his identity as a gambler. Whether it's roulette, Ssangyong poker, or even all the gambling equipment in that transparent gambling room, there are all corresponding cheats. All the ups and downs in the casino are actually in the hands of that gambler. If it weren't for this, he would not have been able to win the trust of the capitalists he cooperated with, let alone bring in an investment worth 10 billion league coins to the casino. ”

"It's all there, is it in his hands?"

Nazi was stunned for a moment, and the detective's sworn words reminded her of what Lingonberry had said to her-

"This game is too boring, the outcome is predetermined long before the game starts, and even decent gambling is not ......"

What kind of foolproof trickery could have allowed the Bilberry King to say such a thing with confidence?

"Mr. Hugo, not to mention the roulette in the second game, how did the bilberry control the duel with Vio's Double Dragon Poker?"

Finally, Nazi raised the issue she had been most concerned about since the trip.

The reversal of roulette is shocking, but on the surface, it is a game of luck. Even the green-haired young man himself, who was the winner, had an inexplicable expression. In Nazi's eyes, even if she doesn't use her superpowers, she can detect that this is the result of Lingonberry's deliberate actions.

But Vio the Sage, a legend in the casino, brings her a very different sense of oppression. Not only is this man proficient in mathematics, but he also knows a lot about the tricks in the casino, and he also checks the layout of the transparent gambling room in detail before the game begins.

How does a lingonberry manage to cheat foolproofly in plain sight?

"Any problem that seems insurmountable can be broken down into many small problems to solve one by one. In the game of Double Dragon Poker, the problem faced by the bilberry is to make Vio, the sage of the plasma group, lose all the money that can shake the foundation of the plasma group in one go. ”

Hugo replied easily and without thinking as he put the neatly stacked business cards back into the business card case.

"To get to this big problem, we need to solve three easier hurdles in turn – first, we have to confirm how Vio has won all the games in the past."

"Is this important?" Nazi asked, puzzled.

"If the mathematical theory of card counting is really perfect, then there is no possibility of beating Vio in the game, and it is better to give up as soon as possible. If Vio's theory had loopholes that he himself knew, then even if he could defeat the sage, he would not be able to win enough fortune to shake the plasma cluster. If Vio had won his past gamble by cheating, he would not have accepted Lingberry's invitation to fight at all - so Lingberry had to get the answer to that question before all planning could begin. ”

"Since the gamble can be valid, Vio's winning strategy should not be any of the three."

The assistant lady on the side was thoughtful: "He is neither a cheater nor has absolutely correct mathematical tools, but he has become a casino legend with almost perfect mathematical theory." However, in his theory, there are still fatal loopholes. ”

"Yes, through hearsay, reasoning, or the gambler's intuition, Bilberry sensed this and tried to prove it through theory – which is why Fischer was able to get a job on the gambling boat."

Hugo raised his finger in an unfathomable way and reminded everyone: "The key to the success of a scam is never how clever the fraudster is, but whether the victim is likely to be deceived." ”

"I see, the whole scam was set up for the perfect victim of Vio."

Natsu put on a "as I expected" look and nodded approvingly. As early as the time she boarded the Royal Union, she was vaguely aware of the trap behind it.

"The second step in achieving the goal is to force Vio to put enough chips at the table." The detective lifted a second finger.

"This is a task that combines patience and skill, and it is necessary to continuously and maximize the desire of the other party to participate in gambling in every sentence and every action, and at the same time to cover up the fact that he is comfortable in the gambling game. It is necessary not only to pretend to be ruthless and make Vio think that his opponent is pretending to be calm, but also to control his sense of oppression moderately, so that Vio does not feel strange. ”

Lingonberries must be like the pendulum in the hands of the dream tapir, quietly stimulating the opponent's desire to win or lose with untraced movements and expressions. By the time Vio made the decision to throw a lot of money at it, he was so caught up in the game that he acted on his opponent's wishes without realizing it.

"However, from the live broadcast, it seems that the Lingonberry King has just been expressionless and calm, until the engine is turned off and the bets on the table are doubled, and he begins to become arrogant." Nazi truthfully said her feelings.

"That's the excitement of the game!"

This time it was Douzi who interjected, and for acting and dramatic turns, she, the self-proclaimed director, was the most vocal existence in the Yuqi Mansion.

"The human face has more than 40 muscles and can combine more than 10,000 expressions, 3,000 of which have emotional meaning. Even if it is a simple expressionless face, there are dozens of very different classifications, the corners of the eyes are lowered or upturned, the breath is rapid or long, where the eyebrows are placed, the tension of the cheeks - how to hide your emotions with expressions, how to convey the emotions you want to express to the audience through expressions, there are many articles! ”

"Oh?" Nazi's eyes lit up, and her gaze on Douzi began to become respectful, and Douzi held her head high like an otter showing off its shells, and kept talking.

"The change in attitude after the stakes are doubled is the finishing touch in all performances. Think about it, what is the character setting of Lingonberry in the gambling game? He is a mercenary, split-legged opportunist on both sides of the Alliance and the Order. The fundamental need of this character is neither to win the game nor to defeat the opponent, but to remove Vio from the table, survive the censorship, and let his Royal Mass continue to parasitize the behemoth of the Plasma Mass, and become an extralegal place for him to enjoy gambling freely. ”

Only the girl who knows everything about the movie said imposingly-

Because of this, he has to show two hundred percent momentum with the stakes doubled, and it is impossible for a person to be so arrogant when he is really at ease, and Vio will subconsciously see the bluff of the lingonberry. And after the expressionless hints of the bilberry before, he will subconsciously rule out the possibility that the bilberry is actually relying on, and thus - conceited to give everything in the game. ”

In the end, the girl slapped her hand on the table in front of her with a slap as if using the "scare" move. Frightened, the three beginner elves who were secretly watching outside the reception room retracted their little heads behind the door.

"Indeed, that's probably what happened. In short, the Lingonberry King has done an excellent job at this stage. ”

Hugo nodded, and said lightly.

"In fact, all the mechanics in casinos exist to make people lose their minds. From the flamboyant color scheme, to the ubiquitous alcoholic beverages, to the highly revealing uniforms of the waiters, Vio has lost most of the psychological game from the moment he re-enters the casino. ”

"It's really scarier than the hypnotism of the superpower elves." The superpower hall master sighed.

"Unlike Pokémon moves, which cause forced sleep, human 'hypnosis' is not so powerful that it makes the experiencer do things that he or she would otherwise oppose. And the reason why Vio fell into the trap of psychological suggestion is because these traps were created for him in the first place. ”

Speaking of which, even Hugo couldn't help but feel pity for this sage he had never met. Just because there was a period of chic years in the casino thirty years ago, it was targeted by the "megalodon" ambushed in the dark trench.

However, it is really an ingenious trick to take the past history of the Seven Sages as a weakness, and to choose the most conceited area of the other party to attack, and take this opportunity to drag the plasma cluster into the quagmire as a whole.

It was only a matter of time before that super-gambler could single-handedly destroy the vicious religion that had entrenched the United States for years. If it can cooperate perfectly with the Pokémon Alliance, it may not even be uprooted in one breath......

What a failure.

"Okay, so there's one last obstacle left, and I guess it's the way to win the game, right?"

The review of the game came to the final stage, and the maroon-haired assistant lady couldn't wait to ask.

Surprisingly, Hugo shook his head: "I'm a little sorry, but I can't draw a specific conclusion." ”

Not only Bilan, who asked the question, but even Douzi and Nazi's eyes widened unexpectedly.

"Although there was a live broadcast of the Ssangyong gambling game on the Royal United Forces, until now, no video data has been leaked out. Based on the current clues alone, I can't hit the truth without bias like speculating on the mechanism of roulette. ”

The detective fell silent with some regret, and took a sip of the tea that had cooled.

"That's right." Nazi frowned, "I didn't bring any on-site information here, just based on the verbal description, I want to expose the tricks carefully designed by the Orange Heavenly King, it is indeed too naïve." ”

"Hey, what did you say?" Hugo's face was surprised, "I didn't say I couldn't expose the trick." ”

The two confused eyes looked at each other, neither of them knowing what they were wondering about.

"Hugo means." Bilan broke the embarrassment and explained to her boss-

"Reasoning does not become unsustainable as the known conditions decrease, but on the contrary, it is derived indefinitely because it cannot converge. In human terms, it means that when the existing conditions are not sufficient, there are so many means that can be used to achieve the end are too many to determine which one of them is one. ”

"Huh?" Nazi was still confused.

"Indeed, as Turblue said."

After being reminded by the assistant, Hugo reacted and reexplained to Nazi -

"In Ssangyong poker, the simple miracle of winning a hundred battles is too easy, and there are so many strategies that I can't say which one of them I use."

Double Dragon Poker is a game that tests a player's betting and guessing skills at the same time, and winning in it is actually very simple - always bet heavily if your hand is better than your opponent; Flip it out – if you repeat this over and over again and never guess wrong, the player will win the entire stack on the table and win.

"In other words, as long as the bilberry uses a technique that can see through all the folds at the table, it will be easy to control the hand and win the eventual victory."

"Simple? Easy? Nazi looked puzzled.

"The gambling equipment and referees are all provided by the plasma group, and there is also a live broadcast monitoring with no dead ends, whether it is the superpower of predicting the future, taking objects from the air, or the ghost ability of channeling through the wall, all of them are strictly guarded by the other party. Tell me how to overcome these hurdles and see through the fold in front of Vio, a casino legend. ”

"As I said." The white coat detective's face does not change color.

"A miracle of this magnitude is a breeze."
