Chapter 509 The Battle of the Blood Moon (13)
The life of a poor person can also be very happy. At the breakfast meeting the next day, although Liang Xi, like everyone present, only had 10,000 chips left, his happiness was always on his face. Even Fanny couldn't stand it.
: "Are you eager to end the game immediately?"
Liang Xi chuckled and said, "I'll see if I can make some more."
House laments: "I hope Red 1 is the boss's stand-in."
"Maybe." Liang Xi said: "Hannah has a sense of female power. She believes in strength. When strength reaches a certain stage, gender is not a problem at all. Comparing the seven female guests among the guests, except for Fanny
Outside, red 1 is the strongest."
House asked: "Hey, make a prediction."
Liang Xidao: "At present, there are still the same few rich people. In my impression, Ristone, 900, Red 10,600, Red 8,500, Red 153 million, Red 91 million. There are 10,000 other guests, not counting. The rich have 24 million.
The chips should be distributed today at 24 million. From my personal perspective, Dick will not only divide the shortfall of 24 million, he will be concerned about the 24 million in the hands of the rich."
Liang Xidao: "If you want the rich to pay, you must use benefits to lure them. The best way is to tell the rich that you can win two million with one million. In Dick's understanding, it is normal for the poor in the game to suffer losses.
He will give the poor a chance to make a comeback, but he will not give the poor too many opportunities. I think today’s games are still blind boxes and should no longer be treasures.”
Fanny asked: "Why can't it be treasure?"
Liang Xidao: "Early this morning, the treasure has been transferred back to London."
Fanny was speechless and asked: "What should we do if the rich man just doesn't take action?"
Liang Xidao: "So if you want to play the blind box, if the rich don't take action, the poor may divide 24 million. 21 guests and 15 poor people will share 24 million on average, nearly two million each. This threatens the rich
Liston wants to maintain his position, but what if Red 10 and Red 8 are willing to take risks?"
Anthony asked: "Is Chris gone?"
House said: "I don't know. He took his luggage and said goodbye to me at six in the morning. He didn't say whether he was going back to land. The strange thing is that there was a staff member accompanying him. I guess he was still on the ship, but not with us.
Space latitude. Maybe he will really come back after five days when everyone is eliminated."
Fanny said: "Red 1 left. He left at seven in the morning. I saw the helicopter."
Anthony wiped his mouth: "It's almost time, let's start work."
…
On the second competition day, the chip distribution game: blind box.
The blind box sells keys. There are 60 keys in total, which are keys to guest rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors. The video truly records the whereabouts of guests who have lived on the 3rd and 4th floors over the past few years, including restaurants, casinos, swimming pools, decks, etc.
Scenes in public places. The program team selected 60 of the videos, each video lasted about half an hour. The guess was not how many assets the person had in his room, but how much the person's annual salary was.
For example, if the guest in room 301 is a CEO and his annual salary is one million euros, the person who buys his room key can get double the two million chips. If the guest is a retired or resigned CEO, his
The annual salary is zero, and the person who buys his room key gets nothing.
Dick ensured that everyone's annual income was true and reliable. As for the means used to obtain the passengers' private information, Dick only stated that the information was provided by Blood Moon, and he personally selected five people to review and confirm that it was correct.
Rules: Guests with more than 100,000 chips can choose a room first, and each person can choose 3 rooms. If two people choose the same room, the auction will be held. Guests with less than 10,000 chips can choose 1 room, and they choose first.
Rooms are on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Today’s game during the day is that each person is given a computer to watch the surveillance video. Everyone can go back to the room to sleep or move around freely. Rich guests must choose a room before 3 p.m. Poor guests can choose their own room in advance.
If the room is selected by the rich man, he can choose other rooms again.
The most important rule is that assuming the total chips after the blind box is 96 million, each person will deduct 50% of the chips. Assuming that the total chips after the blind box is 24 million, each person will increase their chips by 100%.
Liang Xi turned on the computer and saw a photo with a room number written on it, indicating that each person corresponds to a room. Liang Xi clicked on the video marked 401. The video was 29 minutes long and was edited from 12 clips, recording 401 tenants.
Half an hour of activities on the cruise ship. The video is very clear, can be paused and zoomed in, and even provides screenshots processed by professional software. Liang Xi used this software to find that 401 was wearing a watch that cost more than 10,000 euros. It was very likely that he was a business person.
Why do business people take cruises when they have a heavy workload during their working life? Cruises last for as little as three to five days and as long as several months. They are usually a popular travel tool for the elderly and are also the honeymoon choice for some newlyweds. But single business people
Traveling on a cruise ship is very unusual.
At the 10th minute, a hot lady walked up to 401 in the bar and chatted for a few words. 401 sat at the bar holding whiskey and talking to her with a smile. In less than half a minute, the lady left with regret or regret. Liang Xi noticed
He gave the bartender a tip of 20 US dollars, which shows that 401 is really rich. Cruise passengers will carry small amounts of currency to pay tips, usually five US dollars. At the fifteenth minute, 401, who was sunbathing, gave the waiter who delivered the drink
The tip of $50 was so high that the waiter was shocked.
Liang Xi judged that 401 was a rich person, but not a business person. He was more like a person who came out to relax after a setback. He might be a fired executive, he might be the boss who sold the company, he might not have enough food and clothing.
The worried rich second generation.
At the 25th minute, 401, who was sitting by the boat, cried. He took off his wedding ring and held it in his hand, crying alone. A minute later, he stood up facing the sunset and threw the wedding ring into the sea.
Speculation: The rich man whose true love died is unemployed. If he is a working boss or executive, he will definitely be equipped with a satellite phone. Even if not, he will use the satellite phone on the ship. Unless the program crew deliberately cuts out the clips, otherwise 401
There is no annual salary.
There is a pitfall in the blind box this time. There are some directors and shareholders who have a lot of annual income, but their annual salary is zero. The content of the blind box today is the annual salary, not the annual income.
After watching a video for half an hour, Liang Xi didn't feel bored. He seemed to be watching a person's life.
"coffee?"
Liang Xi looked up and saw Riston bringing two cups of American coffee. He paused for a few seconds, nodded and took the coffee: "Thank you."
Ristone bent over and said, "Watch the video for me and give me a price."
Liang Xidao: "I'm not an expert."
Ristone: "You are a detective, and detectives have their own perspective of observation."
Liang Xi: "I only express my own opinion, and I cannot guarantee that it is right or wrong."
Ristone: "No problem."
Liang Xidao: "Two million."
Ristone asked: "Euros or chips?"
Liang Xi replied: "Euros."
Lis shook his head and said: "Let's go to the notary office."
Liang Xi followed Liston inexplicably and couldn't help but ask: "Does your boss know me?"
Riston paused and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Liang Xidao: "I am just a little detective in London. Except for a limited number of people, no one will pay two million euros to let me watch a video. Two million euros not only includes recognition of my ability, but also recognition of my character."
trust."
Riston smiled: "It's just that I believe in you."
"hehe."
"hehe."
When I arrived at the notary office on the second floor, I didn’t expect that justice would not be accepted during the day. The reason was related to the poor man buying a blind box. Suppose a poor man bought 100,000 chips, then he could choose 3 rooms. Liang Xi contacted Dick, and Dick gave Liang
Xi gave the green light, Liang Xi did not need to trade any chips, just a sum of 2 million euros was transferred to Liang Xi's account.
So far, Liang Xi’s off-book income has exceeded 30 million euros.
There was no problem at all in collecting money and doing things. When he went downstairs and returned to the lobby, Liang Xi asked: "What's the date?"
Ristone replied: "402."
"good."
"402 is not an ordinary person. If I am not mistaken, he is a Premier League star named Wardsha. He is 30 years old this year. When he was 25 years old, he was unable to play due to a leg injury, which led to mental depression and finally announced his retirement. At the age of 27, he joined the English League One and led
The team successfully reached the Super League, and he was bought by a wealthy club at the age of 28. Until now, his annual salary is equivalent to 3 million euros. From the age of 25 to 27, that is, from five years ago to three years ago, he had no income in the past two years and took a cruise ship alone.
Traveling around the world to relieve stress. At the age of 29, after last year's Champions League, due to poor competitive form in the first half of the year, he took a cruise ship again for a 21-day trip around the world. The difference was that the second cruise was secretly protected by four bodyguards
He and his bodyguard never show up or disturb him unless he is in trouble, you know?"
Liang Xi asked: "Do you want to know whether 402 was the cruise ship we took 5-3 years ago, or the cruise ship we took last year?"
"right."
"You can check online."
Wriston replied: "I can only find last year's cruise news on the Internet. I am a die-hard fan of his. I know that after he retired, his agent did not give up on him. He underwent a series of psychological treatments, including taking a cruise alone.
.I believe many people will compete for 402, because they can only find the news from last year. If 402 is the cruise ship I took last year, I will definitely grab it too."
Liang Xidao: "I will go find you in half an hour."
"OK!" Reese said: "You have to cover up when you watch, and turn off the screen when someone comes near you."
Liang Xi looked at Li Stone: "Oh, no wonder you brought me coffee in front of everyone and even took me to the second floor. You thought 402 was a trap."
Riston smiled but did not answer: "Maybe."
Liang Xidao: "Have you ever thought about it, the stand-in bosses here are all people with status and status, for the sake of millions of chips, for the sake of victory or defeat, is it possible for them to contact the 402 agent, or even themselves?
"
Reese Channel: "After you took the money, the whole person became sincere...For whatever reason, I needed an opinion, a detective's objective opinion."
"Okay, see you in half an hour." Liang Xi didn't know what kind of medicine Li Stone sold in his gourd, and he didn't care. Anyway, Li Stone couldn't cheat his own class.
The 30-minute video of 402 has a total of 35 clips, the longest is 1 minute and 10 seconds, and the shortest is only 15 seconds. The scenes are mostly restaurants, sunbathing, and swimming pools. Liang Xi found it difficult to make a decision after watching it again. Selective editing is the most terrible thing.
, because the editing process and results are what the editor wants to show you, rather than the real facts. Overall, Liang Xi prefers that this is a video from 5-3 years ago.
The most critical piece of evidence in the video is a can of Pepsi.
You can check the external printing pattern of this can of Coke. It is the latest packaging 4 years ago. In January last year, Pepsi-Cola changed the external printing packaging. To put it simply, the celebrity endorsement contract expired. 402 boarded the cruise ship at the end of July last year. In theory,
He can drink Coke from before January last year. However, this type of high-end cruise ship is very concerned about the shelf life of the product. Logically speaking, as long as the cruise ship management is normal, it is impossible for 402 to drink Coke that has been produced for at least 8 months.
Liang Xi is very concerned about this can of Coke. After comparison, it can be found that in the video shot by the same surveillance camera in the same restaurant, other clips have a wider screen. Only the clip with this can of Coke has a narrower screen, making the Coke more conspicuous. Unexpectedly
Note that it doesn't work.
In view of the integrity of the program crew, Liang Xi had reason to suspect that the program crew was digging a hole.
402 is very special and different from other videos. First of all, 402 is a celebrity. Secondly, his video clips are many and the time is short. Finally, there is human screen control.
Liang Xi gave Li Stone his final opinion: "The first possibility is that the program crew did not notice Coke. He zoomed in because the bodyguard was captured on the edge of the screen. The bodyguard only appeared last year. The second possibility is that the program
The crew deliberately drew everyone's attention to Coke. We assume that the first possibility is correct. In order to avoid the bodyguards, the program crew zoomed in on the surveillance screen and captured part of the footage, which inadvertently highlighted Coke."
Liang Xi asked: "Is this possible?"
Riston nodded: "Yes."
"No." Liang Xi said: "This is not possible, because the clip lasts for 30 seconds, and the total length of the video is 30 minutes and 42 seconds. The program team could have completely discarded this shot that exposed the bodyguard. But the program team did not discard this shot. You can
Comparing other clips, you will find that this 30-second clip is very boring. In the clip, 402 is reading a magazine and eating a salad. If you look at other clips, there are either physical exercises or interactions with other tourists and staff."
Liang Xidao: "To sum up, I think this video is not a video from 5-3 years ago, but a video from last year. That is, the video when 402 had an annual salary of 4.2 million pounds. The screen resolution and cola are deliberately poached by the program team.
pit.”
Riston was thinking and suddenly asked: "You said you would come to me in half an hour, but it seems like an hour has passed."
Liang Xi was startled: "Because there are many doubts, I read it several times."
Rees Passage: "Before you came to me, did you meet Red 10 and chat for a while in the green corner?"
Liang Xi nodded: "Yes, he asked me why you were looking for me, and I said to keep it secret."
"All we talked about in one minute?"
Liang Xi replied: "After a few pleasantries and a few words about last night's game, he laughed at you as a fool. I had no objection to this. He said he was willing to spend money to buy my information, and I said I had something confidential for my employer.
obligation."
Li Stone pointed behind him, Liang Xi turned around and saw Red No. 10 coming down the stairs from the second floor. Seeing the two people looking at him, Red No. 10 nodded to the two of them from more than ten meters away and headed towards his position.
Liang Xi chuckled and said: "Lis Dong, this is the situation. I accept people's money and help them eliminate disasters. I have told you everything I think."
"Can I get my money back?"
"No." Liang Xi said, "It is my principle to collect money to do things."
Rees Channel: "Let me ask another question. When Red 2 Petain came to you to trade and buy information, you did not collect the money first and then do the work, but you did the work first and then Petain refused to pay."
Chapter completed!
