Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1268 Special Companion

  During lunch, Tim Haggis, who did not understand how Xiao Yao counted cards at the gambling table, couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao how to count cards. Xiao Yao generously introduced Tim Haggis to the principles of card counting and the theoretical knowledge involved.

Although Tim Haggis has changed from a commando who is mainly responsible for armed operations to an agent who needs more brains and is mainly responsible for solving crimes, whether he was in New York before or now in Los Angeles, Tim Haggis is robbing. Group, the criminals dealt with are mainly violent crimes. The phrase “Improving the chance of winning through knowledge of mathematics and probabilities” can be understood immediately, but when it comes to specific mathematical theories and probability issues, Tim Haggis is a bit difficult to understand.

  As a result, Tim Haggis just listened to Xiao Yao talking about a Monty Hall paradox, and he stroked his forehead and called to Xiao Yao to stop.

  Xiao Yao knows Tim Haggis’s career and has a certain understanding of Tim Haggis’s expertise, so he can share the knowledge of card counting with him so selflessly. Xiao Yao was mentally prepared for Tim Haggis's reaction. As soon as Tim Haggis called to stop, Xiao Yao smiled and stopped.

  After lunch, the two took a short break, and then they went to another casino planned for today. In this casino, Xiao Yao still gave Tim Haggis 50,000 chips to play with him.

  Tim Haggis has given up on observing how Xiao Yao counts his cards, and has focused his attention on his hand from the beginning. However, Tim Haggis seemed to have less luck in the afternoon than in the morning. Tim Haggis no longer pays attention to Xiao Yao's card counting, and he no longer only bet the minimum amount at the beginning. As a result, after playing in the afternoon, he only won nearly a thousand dollars, and his results were far worse than in the morning.

  In the casino in the afternoon, Xiao Yao won another nearly 300,000 yuan. But Tim Haggis knew that Xiao Yao won by counting cards, so he wouldn't compare with Xiao Yao at all. As far as Tim Haggis is concerned, there are people paying for food, lodging and transportation, and he wins at both casinos. Tim Haggis is in a pretty good mood. However, this good mood of Tim Haggis did not last all day, and at night, Tim Haggis was depressed.

  In the morning, because of the question of whether to exercise early, Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis agreed to play a game. Since there is no boxing ring in the hotel gym, the two agreed to find a boxing gym to fight in the evening. After dinner, the two went to the street to find a boxing gym.

  It’s not difficult to find a boxing gym in Las Vegas, a world-renowned comprehensive entertainment city. What’s a little bit more difficult is that Xiao Yao doesn’t want others to see the process of the two fighting each other. However, this is only slightly more difficult. This kind of problem is not a big problem in the face of money. The hotel restaurant can book the venue, and the boxing gym is naturally also possible.

  If you want to book a boxing gym temporarily, it is also a temporary one. Customers or students practicing boxing in the boxing gym may have opinions. In addition to the cost of chartering, Xiao Yao gave an extra thousands of dollars. Those customers or students who suspend the training for a night and exchange for a few hundred dollars are definitely willing. Anyway, Xiao Yao was not bad at all. He won a lot in the casino during this period, and giving him a few thousand dollars more was nothing to him.

  Because of Tim Haggis’s question of whether he has to get up early every morning and go for early exercise with Xiao Yao. Tim Haggis will not release water. He also thinks that Xiao Yao knows that he will not release water. Xiao Yao asked to book the court. Tim Haggis believed that Xiao Yao was afraid that others would see him be beaten in the ring. So even though Tim Haggis thought there was no need to book the court, he did not object. As a result, what he didn't expect was that when the two competed on the ring, the one who was beaten to the ground would actually be himself!

  So, Tim Haggis was depressed.

   After Tim Haggis was converted from a commando to a detective, his physical fitness and fighting skills have dropped to a certain extent, but Tim Haggis believes that he has not dropped much. Although Tim Haggis knew from several cases several years ago that Xiao Yao’s skills are very good, but in any case, Xiao Yao is an acting star whose main business is singing and filming, and he is a star. professional. Tim Haggis was really unacceptable when he was beaten down by Xiao Yaoshi on the ring.

   Seeing that Tim Haggis was in a bad mood, Xiao Yao didn't say anything to comfort or clarify, so he dragged him to the bar for a drink. Fighting on the ring of the boxing gym, both of them were wearing helmets and protective gear. Xiao Yao made his shots well and basically did not greet Tim Haggis. Although Tim Haggis was beaten to the ground, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He recovered after a short rest. Plus there were no obvious scars on his head and face, it was okay to go to a bar to drink.

Of course, because the two of them were traveling by car, and Xiao Yao was afraid that Tim Haggis would be depressed and drank too much, he had to work hard to get him back to the hotel, so Xiao Yao suggested that the two of them go to the bar of the hotel where they were staying. Did not go outside.

  That night, Tim Haggis really drank too much. As he was a guest of his own hotel, Xiao Yao said that the hotel sent two waiters to help Xiao Yao send Tim Haggis back to the room. Seeing that the two waiters in the hotel almost took Tim Haggis out of the bar and returned him to the bed in the bedroom. After Xiao Yao gave the two waiters a tip, he chose what he wanted. I feel lucky to have a drink in the hotel bar.

  The private detective hired by Matt is still continuing the task of tracking Xiao Yao.

  The private detective followed for a few days, but was not discovered by Xiao Yao. He was definitely good in ability, but he only followed Xiao Yao when he was out, and did not reach the level of monitoring Xiao Yao's phone calls. In addition, private detectives also have to sleep. Generally, after Xiao Yao goes back to his room to rest at night, the private detective's work for the day ends. Therefore, the private detective did not know that Xiao Yao contacted Tim Haggis, nor did he know that Xiao Yao went out of the room to pick up people in the hotel lobby early in the morning, and did not see Tim Haggis the first time.

  Private detectives have figured out Xiao Yao’s life and behavior patterns. Going out to the hotel gym in the morning is of little value for follow-up observation. Only when there are more people in the gym, the possibility of something happening is greater. The private detective observed Xiao Yao's performance in the hotel gym in the morning and went to the gym in advance to guard.

  The next morning, when the private detective went to the hotel gym in advance to guard Xiao Yao as usual, he was surprised to find that there was an extra male companion beside Xiao Yao.

  There was an additional companion around Xiao Yao, and the situation had changed a lot. The private detective immediately contacted Matt to inform him of the incident. However, during the day, the private detective still has the task of tracking the two people. After Xiao Yao and his companion return to the room to rest in the evening, the private detective meets Matt and specifically explains the situation observed today. Of course, there was also Nicky Thompson, and the place where the three met was still in the living room of Nicky Thompson's suite.

  The private detective did not follow Xiao Yao late at night, and was afraid that Xiao Yao would check out and leave at night, so he bought a night shift receptionist at the front desk of the hotel and the security guard at the gate. Please pay attention to Xiao Yao’s check-out information and whether Xiao Yao left. Xiao Yao retired from the original room and changed a suite to live with Tim Haggis. The room where he lived was changed, and the receptionist at the hotel's front desk also secretly notified the private detective. However, Xiao Yao just changed rooms and did not leave. In addition, it was early in the morning, and the hotel at the front desk did not contact the private detective at that time, but only told him in the morning. As for the gate security, Xiao Yao didn't go out in the early morning, so naturally he didn't even say anything.

   When following Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis back to the room tonight, the private detective confirmed that Xiao Yao was changing the room, and at this time also informed Matt and Nicky Thompson.

   "Changed rooms, two people live in a suite, and stay together all day?" After listening to the private investigator's report, Matt laughed, "This Yang won't really be..."

  "The suite has two bedrooms!" Nicky Thompson interrupted, "I said, he wouldn't be G!"

"Maybe it's to cover people? Who knows if they use one bedroom or two bedrooms." Matt deliberately shook his head. "Unexpectedly, he was not interested in the beautiful and **** gambling girl who took the initiative to send him to the door, but he found one by himself. the man!".

   "Hey!" Sure enough, Nicky Thompson said dissatisfied, "Don't talk nonsense!"

   "How do you know I'm nonsense!" Matt laughed, "Why are you reacting so much?"

  The private detective knew that Matt was deliberately irritating Nicky Thompson, or he said: "I don't think that man is what Mr. Dino said, he should be a professional with a special profession!"

  "Professionals in special occupations? What special occupations?" Matt closed his smile and asked the private investigator very interested.

"That man not only looks strong, but his behavior is somewhat different from ordinary people. I think he should be engaged in a certain dangerous job." The private investigator said, "If I want to guess, I think he may be a soldier...I mean It's a mercenary, a policeman, or a bodyguard!"

  "Bodyguard?" Nicky Thompson said, "He hired a bodyguard because he met Tiger yesterday and they were making trouble for him. For the convenience of protection, the bodyguard stayed in the same suite with him?"

   "Is this too careful?" Matt said, "Although he met Tiger yesterday and they bothered him, didn't he beat Tiger? Does he need a bodyguard?"

"But he didn't know that Tiger was hired by us!" Nicky Thompson said, "Didn't Tiger's girlfriend say that she saw her coming out of the casino and wanted to blackmail him? He kept coming and going these days. In the casino, it is inevitable that they will be spotted by others. He is very good at playing, but what if the opponent is holding a gun?"

   "Miss Thompson makes sense," the private investigator said, "but I don't think that man is the bodyguard he hired."

   "Why?" Matt and Nicky Thompson asked at the same time.

  "Because they went to the hotel bar just now. The man was drunk and was helped back by the hotel attendant." The private investigator asked, "How come there are bodyguards who were so drunk while performing the task of protecting employers?"

"When I followed them today, I found that they were eating at the same table when they were eating, and they were very natural when talking, and they seemed very familiar with each other." The private investigator continued, "I think they should be friends! Even that man It's really a bodyguard, it's here to protect Yang, it's not a simple employment relationship."

   "Can you find out what that man is doing?" Matt asked.

"I'm already investigating." The private investigator said, "I managed to buy the reception of the night shift in the hotel and asked her about the check-in information of the man who lives with Yang. That person's name is Tim Ha. Guise, American, the registered address on the driver’s license is Los Angeles. I have asked a friend in Los Angeles to check it for me."

  Speaking of which, the cell phone on the private detective rang. The private detective took out his mobile phone and opened it, with a very surprised expression on his face.

   "What's the matter?" Matt and Nicky Thompson asked the private detective's facial expression changes together.

   "Look for yourself, the news I just received!" The private investigator handed the phone in his hand to Matt, "This is the companion who is with Yang today!"

   "FBI?" Matt took a look, was also taken aback, exclaimed.

  The information of a person on the screen of the mobile phone, among which the three letters of FBI are very conspicuous.

   "Young has FBI friends?" Nicky Thompson was also surprised.

"It seems that there is indeed." The private investigator thought for a while and nodded, "In the robbery and kidnapping case of New York Fashion Week, an FBI agent was the first to notify the police. At that time, he was interviewed by reporters. Said that he was a friend of Yang and was invited by Yang to watch the press conference. If he guessed correctly, he should be the FBI agent at the time."

   "But the New York Fashion Week case happened in New York. That FBI agent should be a New York agent?" Nicky Thompson asked strangely.

   "Look below," the private investigator said. "He was transferred from New York to Los Angeles two years ago. The case at New York Fashion Week is more than two years away."

  Ma’s first recognized the private investigator’s words, and exclaimed: “I didn’t expect that guy would have a friend who works for the FBI in the United States!”

"Mr. Dino," the private investigator said, "tracking an FBI agent is not the same as tracking a star entertainer. As far as I observe today, the FBI agent is likely to stay by Yang's side, so My job will be much more difficult."

   "I understand," Matt said, "Do you want to end this job, or do you want to add money?"

"As a private investigator, of course I like money!" the private investigator said, "but to be honest, I followed Yang these days. Apart from knowing the time and frequency of his visits to the casino, I didn't find anything about him. Now that FBI agents are around, Young is even less likely to do anything extraordinary. I don’t think there is any need to continue this work."

   "Well, I agree to end the commission, and tomorrow I will send someone to settle the payment with you!" Ma Feng said.

   "Okay, thank you!" The private detective stood up and said goodbye, "Then I'll go first!"

"Matt, Young has a friend who works for the FBI. Are we going to continue the plan we said yesterday?" After the private detective left, Nicky Thompson asked Matt, "In case he knew that our plan was behind... "

"Of course we must continue!" Matt said, "What about he has friends at the FBI? The media reported the facts and we are not breaking the law. Even if he and his FBI friends know about it, what can happen? Don't worry about him. That FBI friend used his job power to help him retaliate against us. I also have friends at the FBI."

   "The most important thing is," Matt continued, "Even if we regret it now, it is too late. Young's report has already been sent out!"

   "What?" Nicky Thompson said, "has been sent out?"

   "Yes," Ma Feng said with a smile, "Did you not read the news from those famous gossip news websites today?"

   "No." Nicky Thompson shook his head, "What was decided only yesterday, I didn't expect you to move so fast!"

   "Ha," Matt smiled triumphantly, "My efficiency has always been so high!"
