Chapter 33 31. Uncover the mystery

The man definitely didn't hide the cards, and he didn't seem to have any tricks in shuffling the cards, and the man was not a trickster at all, but he won every day, there must be a ghost, but where is the ghost?I am very depressed! Because I was not used to Changsha's winter climate and I was anxious, I fell ill after more than a week. I had a high fever at night, hot and cold for a while.Brother Xia asked someone to take me to the hospital for an IV. During the IV, I cursed that fat man and used all the vicious words I knew. I carefully recalled the posture of the fat man holding and shuffling the cards. He is definitely not a professional hooker, but there are thousands of people and thousands of people out there. Could it be that I didn't notice any link?

For several days, I either sneezed or had a runny nose, and I carried a dozen facial tissues with me wherever I went.Brother Xia lost a lot again, watching Brother Xia lose money, my pressure is getting bigger and bigger.They finished, and I was still sitting there in a daze, they were talking and laughing with each other and packing up their chips. At this moment, I found a very important detail: the fat man put away all the poker in his pocket.I suddenly had an idea, is poker wrong? Conventional bee poker cheating is to make a secret sign on the back, but it is useless to use Magu as a secret sign. What time should it be?I don't understand what's wrong with poker, but I still keep an eye on it. Next time I go, I'll ask Brother Xia to take me there earlier. I have to talk to Brother Wang.

After 3 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, it got dark, and it started to rain again, and it rained heavily.When I saw Brother Wang, I asked him, "Where do you get your poker from?" He said that the goods were purchased from special channels, absolutely no problem.That's right, according to the rules of this game, cheating in poker shouldn't be of much use.After chatting with them for a while, Brother Wang and Brother Xia both came to comfort me when they saw that I was sick. The more they comforted me, the more embarrassed I was.It's really better to despise me directly, so that I can escape there with peace of mind.At that time, I really didn't want to stay for a minute, and occasionally thought: What can I do if I have nothing to do here?

They continued to play that night, and I was still watching the fun like a blind man.I want to confirm whether the fat man will take the poker with him when he leaves.Sure enough, after the game was over, he casually took the poker away.My intuition tells me that poker is tricky.When I found out that Fatty went to the service desk to get poker every time I started playing, I thought there must be something wrong with the poker.But where is the problem, I still don't understand.Other gambling games that cheat in poker are often by looking at other people's hole cards, but in this game they play, it is not necessary to know other people's hole cards in advance, and it is useless to know.

But why would that fat man take the rest of the poker?I think this is definitely the key point, so I observed carefully, and every time he volunteered to get poker, it stands to reason that such a clubhouse service is absolutely in place, shout a word, there will be many waiters to provide services.It is unreasonable for him to play cards by himself, so I decided to see how he plays cards, maybe there will be unexpected gains. I went early that day, sat on the sofa opposite the service desk, and pretended to read their clubhouse magazine in my hand.After waiting for a long time, a group of them came up leisurely, the fat man went directly to the service desk to get two decks of poker, my eyes followed him all the way into the private room, and I found that he had the poker in his pocket.I wandered in too, and the two decks of poker were already lying on the table where they were playing.

As usual, I watched the excitement again, but I still didn't see the result. Brother Xia lost a lot of money again.When watching the fun, the fat man said to me: "It's so boring to come here every day and don't play. If you have nothing to do, you can come up and play." I said casually: "I don't have that much money, and my hands will shake if I play such a big game." He Hearing this, he laughed and said, "It's okay, your brother-in-law has plenty of money." I said: "My brother-in-law won't let me play, I'm just a small employee in the company, and I don't have as much money as him." Before I finished speaking, I regretted it and went out to find a place where no one was around and slapped myself hard , the great opportunity was missed by me.If I had gone up to play, at least I would have known what cards I was dealt, so I would have seen the results sooner.

The fat man changed poker, the question is what if he changed poker?What the hell did he switch to poker, and what's weird about it?The poker he changed must be different from the old poker I often see. What is the difference?I feel that I am getting closer to the answer, but I haven't found the key to unlocking the mystery.I decided to check first to see if he really switched poker. On the third day, I bought a white candle at a funeral store.Then I went to the clubhouse ahead of time, and I went there after about 1 o'clock. I went directly to Brother Wang and asked him to bring me all the poker to be provided to that private room, and asked him to pay for the people at the service desk.

I was worried that the service staff might also be his accomplices. I became very sensitive at the time. Except for Brother Wang and Brother Xia, everyone else was suspicious in my eyes.As I said, Brother Wang paid the waiter and brought me all the poker.Then I found an empty room and marked all the playing cards with candles (the marks were on the outer wrapping paper. I did it very cleverly, even if someone with a heart looked at it, they would not be able to see the marks I made), and then I Put the poker back as it was. The waiting time was really long, and they gathered together again at night, I still pretended to be sitting on the sofa and read a magazine, while watching the fat man take the poker and enter the private room from the corner of my eye.They are still the same, chatting and drinking tea, not in a hurry to play.I have something on my mind, so I can only be anxious.

It can be considered that when they started, Kaifeng was opened again as usual, the big and small kings were removed, the cards were shuffled, and the bets were placed.But my mind wasn't on that, my eyes were on the plastic wrapping of the poker! The wrapping paper was thrown in the ashtray by them, I immediately went out to find a clean ashtray and put it in for them.Those people seemed to be joking with me again, I probably understood what they meant, it meant Brother Xia had brought a waiter.I giggled with everyone and went out. When I got to a place where no one was there, I carefully unfolded the wrapping paper and looked for the marks I made with candles, but there was nothing.

The poker was replaced by that fat man, and now I'm 100% sure that he cheated on the poker.Then I checked another pair, and it was also swapped.There's something wrong with poker, but what's wrong with it?I don't have any music. But at last we saw the light, didn't we?Grandma, I scolded that fat man a hundred times in my heart, and added at the end, "Fat man, I'm going to fuck you to death!" Things have come to this point, I can't wait any longer, I have to do something, so I went out to Wang Ge and asked for a pair of poker; I found a room to play single poker, practiced skills, stunned cards, shuffle card, go to their room every few minutes to see the excitement.

I have a bold idea: every time the fat man leaves, he will take away the cards he has played. I guess he will throw them away after taking them away. It is unlikely that he has a collection of old cards.Of course, I'm not quite sure, and I bet myself that I'm going to play a new deck of cards as old as theirs, and then steal the cards they played. A few of them were playing enthusiastically, and I was also playing enthusiastically here by myself.I couldn't help giggling while playing, what is this called? Finally, I also used the poker, put it in my pocket, and went in to watch the fun as if nothing had happened. They haven't changed the poker yet, but Brother Xia looked at me meaningfully. He has lost a lot recently, and I blush a little.But I made a dumb face and didn't respond to him.I focused on observing the fat man's every move, to see how he flopped. I found that his halo is different from others. A normal person halos a card. He takes a card of known suit and side to shovel the unknown card to halo, revealing the edge little by little, and looking at it little by little.The fat man also made a trick of playing cards, but he took a card that he knew the face of and covered the card that he didn't know, so that when he picked up the card, he could directly see what card it was, and he pushed it a little bit to see is actually the back of a known suit! I didn't notice this very subtle movement before. Those people on the field played with him for so long, and no one knew it. Yes, who pays attention to this link?Moreover, the fat man also has big hands, so we can only guess from the way he took the cards. After what seemed like a century, they finally got a new deck of cards.I didn't dare to steal, it wasn't the best time.I looked at it for a long time, and still can't see any problems.Their game is almost over.According to their rules, if one family runs out of chips, the game can be over.I saw that one of them was almost finished, and I waited for them to push the card to say it was over. Thank goodness they're finally done, in what I feel is probably the longest hand I've ever played.I hid the old deck of cards under the palm of my right hand, and the fat man neatly stacked the cards on the table and counted his chips.Here's your chance!I pretended to help clean up the table, first took the teapot and teacup aside, and pretended to pick up the deck of cards he used earlier and put them on the table, but in the process of picking up and putting them down, I had already Poker was replaced.With my technology at the time, I couldn't see him staring at me with wide eyes. Everyone went out in twos and threes, stretching their waists.I looked at Fatty out of the corner of my eye. He purposely counted the chips until the end. I guess he would continue to take the poker away. I had already exchanged his cards, so I didn't care much about his next actions. I went downstairs to Brother Xia's car, and Brother Xia asked me if I had any clues.Because I don't know exactly where the problem is, I say I haven't found it yet.Brother Xia revealed that he didn't want to continue doing it.That’s right, during the time I’ve been here, he’s lost at least 5 million yuan, and the money is stacked on a table, what a huge pile! But I have to hold my breath, and I can't say anything until I fully understand it.Brother Xia sent me back to the hotel.After going back, I couldn't wait to put all the poker I had stolen on the bed and study it carefully.I flipped through them one by one, and there was nothing wrong with them, just ordinary bee poker, no different from the ones I've been touching all day long.I carefully recalled the movement of the fat man who flopped, and imitated while thinking, but still got nothing. What's wrong?I was very frustrated, not reconciled, I checked all the sides of the poker again, there was no cheating anywhere, and there was no short or long card.Looking at it, I became annoyed, thinking about how sick I have been tossed these days, and thinking about what brother Xia expected from me.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and in annoyance, he grabbed the poker and threw it out. For a moment, the room was full of cards.I lay on the bed, motionless. Tired of thinking, my mind was in a mess.I simply didn't want to think about it, the phone issued a notification that the battery was low, and I got up to charge the phone.Standing by the window and looking at the lights outside, I couldn't help laughing, laughing at the crazy fool who just threw poker, why am I angry with poker? My mood gradually calmed down, I picked up some more from the carpet, held them in my hand and looked through them repeatedly, but I still didn't see anything wrong with them.I felt like a deflated car wheel, imitating the fat man's movements, repeatedly pinching the poker in my hand, still clueless.I got up to get the beer, and casually threw the card in my hand back on the bed. When I threw it, I glanced at it inadvertently, no, there was something wrong with this card, so I hurriedly picked up the poker again. This is a flower 5, and it is still a flower 5 thrown on the bed, but the middle point of this flower 5 is gone!Everyone knows that the suit of 5 is a point in the middle of a corner around it, and the position I pinched is exactly the point in the middle of 5. This discovery made me excited again. I guess it was because my hands were hot. There were still numbers on the side of this card. I jumped on the bed and held the poker tightly, as if I was afraid that it would fly away from my hand. Same, staring at it without blinking. The grass flower 5 slowly changed in front of me, the flower in the middle gradually became clear, and the 5 actually changed back.It's amazing! Right in front of my eyes, a card with a 5 of clubs but a 4 of clubs turned into a real 5 of clubs.I rubbed the number 5 vigorously again, and after a while, the number changed again and became a 4.I was so happy that I ran around the bed a few times to celebrate.I picked up all the poker that fell out and put them back on the bed to study.I desperately rubbed each card against my belly, and after I rubbed it, I saw what happened.The result I found is very interesting, except that flower cards, aces and 9 and 10 cannot be changed, others can be changed.I looked for the results of the changes in the notes, and found that these poker cards are not random changes, basically according to the original suit or increase 1, 2, or decrease 1, 2.For example, 2 can become 3, 4 can become 5, 6 can become 8, 5 can become 4, and 7 can become 6. A can't be changed, I think it's because its suit position increases or decreases and there is no match. 9 also cannot be changed, because 9 is a dot in the middle, with 4 dots on both sides, and 8 is three dots on both sides, with two dots in the middle. It is impossible for 9 to become 8; it is also impossible for 9 to become 10, because 10 is in the middle The two points are separated up and down, and the middle point of 9 is in the center.Flower cards cannot be changed, and 3, 6, 7, and 8 cannot be changed each other, because their flower arrangements are not in the same position. I also found that it takes a long time for the altered cards to come back, so that they don't show up in the game, but when the cards are shuffled, they can be changed back immediately by rubbing the back of the card. I finally found the answer to the mystery. At that time, I was really overjoyed. Excited, I picked up the phone and wanted to dial out. Only after I saw it did I realize that it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning.I wanted to call them up and tell them what I found, but I thought about it at this point. To congratulate myself on finding the answer, I drank all the beer in the refrigerator in the room.Then fell asleep on the bed. I fell asleep until noon the next day and didn't get up. I ate something casually and called Brother Xia, telling him that I figured it out.Brother Xia drove up without saying a word. I took out the poker, explained to him what was going on, and showed him a show. He was surprised after watching it, and it took him a long time to react with his mouth wide open.I saw that his expression was a little bit wrong, as if he was about to kill someone, so I quickly advised him not to worry, come a little bit, as long as the fat man is still playing, he can be messed with. I told Brother Xia how the fat man cheated. Every time the fat man stumbled, he actually used his hands to heat up the poker. There is a small heat-retaining stove. His hands are always heated on the small stove, but there is no definite evidence. I am just a bystander. Brother Xia cannot be searched because of his identity. In daily gambling games, many people use this kind of poker It’s like this all the time, using a hand stove as a cover in winter, and using a cup of tea to warm your hands in summer).I didn't pay much attention to his action at the time, but now that I know the answer, everything can be connected together.Don't underestimate this point change, it can kill people. The fat man always stumbled for a long time, and he just waited for everyone to show their cards before deciding whether to rub or not, so as to prevent two poker cards of the same suit from colliding. It seems that he did it very cautiously. I chatted with Brother Xia for a while, and asked him why the fat man went to get poker every time, why didn't they pay attention? He recalled that not every time he went to get it, sometimes it was someone else to get it or the waiter came to deliver it.Brother Xia thought about it for a long time, and seemed to have suddenly realized, and said: "Every time the waiter brings it or someone else takes it, the fat man basically doesn't place a big bet." After knowing the answer, Brother Xia picked up the phone and made several calls. The calls were full of blah blah blah. He had a gloomy face, a bit scary, and wandered around the room.After a while, Brother Yan and Brother Wang both came, and the three of them got together and spoke Changsha dialect that I couldn't understand. Brother Xia said he was excited and went to show them poker.They discussed for a long time, and seeing that I didn't respond (I didn't understand a word they said), they asked me in Mandarin: Is it feasible to directly take him at the poker table, and then ask him for money, and they are not sure. When will the fat man be out of business?I don't want to come out and give them ideas and let them do it themselves. First we went to the clubhouse, and I marked all the poker with candles and put them back.I told them that I can find the two decks of poker on him later, and I will draw the marks on the poker first; when I gamble, I have to confirm whether he has dropped the bag. I guess he will definitely continue to drop bags. The next step is to introduce you into the urn.I made an agreement with Brother Xia that at the card table, if the fat man is out of money, he will remind Brother Xia to keep the card that the fat man fainted at the end, and he is not allowed to shuffle the cards, waiting for the card to change in front of everyone .Of course I had to see clearly that it was really him who rubbed it. Brother Xia and I agreed on a secret sign: I sighed and acted thoughtfully. Brother Xia saw me like this and acted immediately. No one is allowed to move cards.It doesn't matter if I make a mistake, he can pick it up and test it, and then talk about the card he hid in his pocket.The card in the pocket has a mark I made, which can correspond to the drawing on the white paper, so that he has nothing to say. Things are almost ready. I was worried that the fat man knew about my bag swap, so I told everyone about my concerns. Brother Yan said that it should be fine. The old deck of cards must have been taken home and thrown away on the way. .Brother Xia wanted to call that fat man, but I didn't let him. I was worried that if he didn't come today, there would be tomorrow, wouldn't he? Brother Wang also prepared a small video camera to record the whole process, so I'm not afraid that he won't spit out money with this in the future.
