Chapter 9 8. Grease Perspective

He got out of the grease from his nose.Because of the excitement of the game, players are highly nervous, and their noses are prone to sweating. Strictly speaking, the nose is not only sweating, but also secreting oil.He just used the oil from his nose to mark the long side of Pai Gow, and he did it on both sides.So when he matches the cards, he will observe the long side of other people's Pai Gow, and know when others start and end through his marks. You can do a small experiment: find a Pai Gow (any material is fine), smear it with the oil on your nose, and you can only see it clearly if you look at it against the light.I was with my back to the light, so I couldn't see it.Even if I saw it, it was just a faint grease mark.Everyone's hands are busy on Pai Gow, so there are too many prints.But you can definitely tell the difference between the sweat stains on your hands and the grease marks on your nose.In this way, it can explain why this kid always moves his body to look at the side of other people's Pai Gow.When outsiders match cards, regardless of the narrow side or the long side, they fumble around and inadvertently touch the marks, but the impact is not great. At most, they will leave palmprints or fingerprints on the grease marks, and the grease marks are still very serious. clearly.Of course, every time the card-drawer was tight, the grease markers were gone, which explains why he continued to make markers during his own deck.

However, Sanjia outside didn't erase his grease marks inadvertently. Every time he picked up four cards, he felt that which one needed to be repaired, so he used the opportunity of matching cards to repair it.Although the process is cumbersome, it is very practical. Most of the time, the cards prepared by Sanjia are no different from transparent cards in his opinion. I didn't understand what the various marks he made represented what cards. This thing is done by each person, and it can't be figured out out of thin air. Unless two identical cards are marked and compared together, you can know what the mark is.

After I understood it, I sat back on the sofa and thought about what to do next.It happened that Xiao Ai was sitting there alone drinking tea.I leaned over and asked him to deliberately fiddle with the switches of various lights on the wall for a while, especially one of them was a wall lamp.They live in the hotel every day, and they are clearly separated.I asked him to watch me turn on the wall lamp when I got back to the table, and it only took a few seconds to turn it on.He looked at me puzzled and asked, "Why?" I said, "Just do what I say and you're done." At that time, I just saw the clues, but I didn't see the grease on the side of Pai Gow, so there was no definite evidence supports my inference, so I want to verify it.

After eating a few melon seeds, I strolled over to watch the fun again.Finding the angle facing the wall lamp, I signaled the buddy to turn on the light.I still looked like I was watching the excitement, and leaned over to watch everyone match the cards. At this time, the wall lamp was on.Immediately someone yelled: "It's broad daylight, what are you doing with the light on?" The buddy immediately said: "Go to the toilet, it's turned on by mistake." After a few minutes, the buddy turned off the wall lamp.With the help of the light from the wall lamp, I could clearly see the long side of a Pai Gow facing the light, and there was a slanted grease scratch, which couldn't be more clear.The dealer turns over Sanjia's card, which is a long 6.I guess the other long 6 should also have the same oblique scratch on the same position.A trickster with more sophisticated means can put different marks on two cards with the same points, and only he himself knows how to distinguish them.After verification, everything is the same as my inference.It is enough to see one, and there is no need to check them one by one.

In life, many cheaters do this.Apply the grease from your nose on the back of poker, mahjong, and Pai Gow to mark it, and you can see the cards marked by him when you look back against the light.When gambling, there is no difference between other people's cards and turning them over to him.There are many cheaters like this. I knew it in my heart, and I couldn't let it go.I called Xiaoai over from another room and told him what I had seen.After hearing this, Xiao Ai was about to arrest someone at that time, but I was holding her back.I asked Xiaoai: "How do you take it? People don't admit it?"

Xiao Ai was a little confused, and asked me: "Old man, what do you mean he doesn't admit it? He dares?" I explained to him: "I wouldn't admit it if it were me. What happened to the seal? I did it on purpose because of the seal? There are too many finger prints and palm prints on Pai Gow, why don’t you let me sweat? Why don’t you let me take Pai Gow?” Sweat stains are different from grease marks. There are more finger prints on it, and it will not affect the grease print, and it is easy to distinguish under favorable light conditions. I patiently explained to Xiaoai that such a person should never be arrested, and no one will admit it.Even if force is used to make people submit, and people spit out the money, if the person refuses to admit it to death, if it is spread, the reputation of this game will be ruined. Who would dare to play?Explaining the difference between nose grease and sweat stains to these gamblers?It doesn't make sense.

But that kid is absolutely not allowed to continue playing. If this goes on, the money will be his.Xiao Ai asked me what should I do?
