Chapter 75 Stowaway (3)
The old man pushed open the door of the casino management office, and Shen Yue saw the person inside at first glance.The man in front of him was about 50 years old, tall and thin, wearing a white shirt with a beautiful tie on his upper body, and black trousers on his lower body.Shen Yue noticed an old inconspicuous scar on his right cheekbone.

When Lei Fangda saw Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin, he understood in his heart, and angrily said to his boss: "Why did you call them here? I have nothing to talk to them, let them go."

Shen Yue has already noticed that there are several monitoring screens installed in this large office. He pretended not to hear what Lei Fangda said, and while walking slowly to look at those screens, he said, "It's really modern management. Mr. Lei, you Staying here every day and watching those rookies gamble, you may have been tired of it? I heard that you are a casino master, how about we play a game?"

Lei Fangda's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you also a casino master?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said, "I never gamble, but I can beat you."

Lei Fangda snorted and said: "I have seen many people who like to brag, but unfortunately I have never met anyone who can beat me."

Shen Yue smiled and said to the old man: "I want a brand new deck of cards and a pen."

The old man himself ran a casino, and he had seen Lei Fangda's superb gambling skills many times. When he heard that Shen Yue was about to challenge him, he became very interested and ordered someone to bring him poker and a pen.Kang Ruxin knew nothing about gambling, but she was more willing to believe in Shen Yue, and she knew that Shen Yue's sudden proposal to gamble with Lei Fangda must have his purpose, so she immediately became curious.

The poker and a signature pen were placed in front of Shen Yue, Shen Yue did not immediately open the deck of poker, he said to Lei Fangda: "Although I never gamble, I know very well that there is nothing more than a casino master In terms of memory and technique, it is far superior to ordinary people, and many so-called masters can do tricks, but the tricks are very clever. Mr. Lei, am I right?"

Lei Fangda said lightly: "This is a very simple truth. The key to the question is whether you can do it, and whether you can find out whether the other party is cheating."

Shen Yue shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't do it, and I can't find it, but I can make it impossible for you to make money." Then, he said to the old man: "Mr. Zhong, please take this deck of poker to the side Go open it, and use this signature pen to draw a random stroke on the back of each poker. In this way, this deck of poker is unique. As I said, I don’t want to give Mr. Lei any chance to make money.”

The old man walked aside with a poker and a signature pen, and did as Shen Yue said.Lei Fangda suddenly laughed loudly and said, "You think you can beat me like this?"

Shen Yue replied indifferently: "Didn't it start yet? You'll know in a while."

According to Shen Yue's request, the old man prepared the playing cards.Shen Yue said: "I never gamble, so I don't want to gamble with Mr. Lei. Mr. Lei, I think so, if I lose, we will leave immediately; if Mr. Lei loses, then you have to answer all my questions. You Is it okay to see this?"

Seeing that Shen Yue was so confident, Lei Fangda felt a little uneasy, and asked, "How do you want to bet? 10:30? Stud?"

Shen Yue smiled and said: "10:30, the simpler the way, the more difficult it is. But Mr. Zhong can only deal the cards. How about it?"

Lei Fangda looked at Shen Yue, wondering why this person was so confident.But seeing the face of the man in front of him as calm as water, as if he was sure of winning, Lei Fangda suddenly became eager to win, and said: "Okay, then let Mr. Zhong deal the cards."

The old man washed the poker several times face to face, put it on the table between Shen Yue and Lei Fangda, and said, "Mr. opinion?"

Lei Fangda said lightly: "Whatever you want."

Shen Yue suddenly laughed, and said: "Since I proposed the method of gambling, Mr. Lei should be the first. I believe that luck will definitely be on my side."

Lei Fangda said: "Gambling is not all about luck. Let's send it to Mr. Shen first."

So the old man gave Shen Yue and Lei Fangda a clear card respectively.Shen Yue's is a five of spades, and Lei Fangda's is a three of clubs.The old man said to Lei Fangda: "Your card is small, and the next card will be dealt to you."

A hidden card was dealt to Lei Fangda, Lei Fangda turned over a corner to look at it, withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and said, "I don't want it anymore."

Shen Yue looked at him, and muttered, "It must be more than three points, maybe six points. Well, nine points has a great chance of winning." He immediately went to see the old man, and said, "I can only choose to ask for a card. Otherwise you lose."

The old man gave Shen Yue a card, and Shen Yue turned it over directly. It was a queen of hearts.Shen Yue smiled and said: "It's good luck, if the next card is at four or five o'clock, it will be fine."

The old man sent him another one, but it turned out to be two squares.Shen Yue glanced at Lei Fangda and said with a smile: "I believe that God will give me good luck, because my good luck is also yours. Father and daughter are connected by blood. Song Zhenzhen never saw her father when she was born. It's against the law of heaven. I bet with you, and the bet is actually the law of heaven. Therefore, I will definitely win." Speaking of this, he said to the old man: "Please give me another card."

Rafanda's expression changed.At this time, the old man had already dealt the next card to Shen Yue, Shen Yue opened it, smiled and said to Lei Fangda: "Look, am I right?"

The card Shen Yue turned over was a three of hearts!Kang Ruxin felt unbelievable at once, but she was very excited, and couldn't help shouting happily from the side: "You won!"

Lei Fangda's face changed drastically in an instant, and without turning over his cards, he said coldly: "Mr. Shen, can we find another place?"

At this time, no one noticed that the old man secretly let out a sigh of relief.The old man said with a smile: "Fangda, Mr. Shen and Ms. Kang are your fellow villagers, please treat them to a few drinks. Mr. Shen, Ms. Kang, the police officer from Zhuhai, I will arrange another person to accompany him, so don't worry about it." gone."

At the entrance of the casino, Shen Yue bid farewell to the old man.He whispered to the old man, "Thank you."

The old man smiled slightly at him, and said in his heart: You have already talked about the way of heaven, how can I help you?

"If Mr. Zhong didn't help you, you wouldn't be able to beat me." Lei Fangda said in English after the three of them sat down in a seafood restaurant.

Shen Yue looked at him, and said with a standard local accent: "I said, it is the way of heaven. What is the way of heaven? The way of heaven is actually human relations. So, Mr. Zhong helping me is actually helping you, helping your daughter. Mr. Lei , don’t you still understand now?”

At this time, Kang Ruxin understood how Shen Yue defeated Lei Fangda.Then I heard Shen Yue continue: "From the very beginning, I was not prepared to gamble with you, because I don't know any gambling skills at all. I asked Mr. Zhong to mark the poker, in fact, to let him remember some of the cards. After all, he is the owner of the casino. After so many years, he should have mastered some gambling skills. In fact, winning or losing between you and me is not important. What is important is that I hope you can understand what is the real way of heaven Relationship with people. That's all."

Lei Fangda said with a wry smile: "I have my reasons..."

Shen Yue said disapprovingly: "Mr. Lei used to be called Lei Meng, but he changed his name to Lei Fangda after he arrived in Macau. Fangda, you can develop if you let go, or you can achieve your desired goal. So you became the supervisor of this casino , learned English, and fully integrated myself into the environment here. But after so many years, you are still the supervisor of this casino. Obviously, everything you once hoped for has not come true. As far as I know, Mr. Lei is here You have a stake in a casino, maybe you once had the confidence to create a career in this place, and then go to meet your daughter, but you didn't achieve that goal. Maybe that's why you said ?”

Lei Fangda said nothing.

Shen Yue looked at him and said, "Mr. Lei is much older than me. I shouldn't have said that in front of you, but I really sympathize with Song Zhenzhen. She hasn't seen her biological father since the day she was born. Later, she came to a new family with her mother. She asked her mother who her biological father was, but her mother never told her. Why didn't she tell her? Maybe it was because she didn't dare, or maybe it was because she hated you. Song Mei, Do you still remember this woman, she used to love you so much and gave birth to a child for you, but you didn't cherish this woman, and you still ate, drank, gambled, fought and fought in the society, and eventually sent yourself to prison. One thing I can fully guess is that when you got out of prison, you must have known that Song Mei had given birth to a child and married Lu Wenhua, you regretted it, and you lost all hope, so you smuggled to Macau. Is that so?"

Lei Fangda's face was full of pain, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Shen Yue smiled at him, and said: "By the way, we forgot to introduce ourselves to you. This is Police Officer Kang, from the Provincial Criminal Police Corps; I am a doctor of psychology, and I am assisting the police in investigating the case of Lu Wenhua's death."

Lei Fanda murmured: "No wonder you were able to guess the cards in my hand, and you diverted my attention so easily to ask Mr. Zhong to help you."

Shen Yue looked at him: "Actually, your heart was already in a mess at that time. Is it like this? Mr. Lei, please don't avoid your past, let's talk about your past, talk about you and Song Mei... "

Lei Fangda suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yue: "I have been in Macau all these years, and Lu Wenhua's death has nothing to do with me."

Shen Yue still looked at him: "But you have always known about Song Mei and your daughter's situation. You learned about it from some people who came to the casino from your hometown to gamble, isn't that true?"

There was a trace of warmth in Lei Fangda's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Yes, I have been paying attention to them."
