The Blackwater area of Renekton, hidden in the casino under the bustling city, is filled with an unpleasant smell.
The conditions here are simple and are specially provided for the idle gangsters nearby. The small space is always crowded with people.
Blackwater is far away from the city center and is home to some workers and farmers on the outskirts of the city. The gamblers among them want to indulge themselves at the gambling table even if they only have a meager salary in their pockets.
Crazy and ostentatious are intertwined here, the guy who wins money is laughing wildly, and the person who loses money may be hungry for the next few days, scuffles occur frequently, and the embarrassment of life cannot change the human nature of gambling.
With an exclamation, the result of another card game appeared.
The winner laughed excitedly and reached out to grab his winnings.
The two people sitting next to him had sad faces, but the short dwarf opposite him looked unusually calm.
"Do you want to continue? Cowards, I am confident that I will win all your panties!"
The winner of the previous hand continues to stimulate the other three people at the table.
At this time, the dwarf took out a dice of his own from his trouser pocket and threw a handful on the table. The number that came out was 1.
Everyone was puzzled by his behavior, and the winner in front of them joked: "Are you testing your luck? If you are not sure, you can give up your position to others. It doesn't matter who you are."
The dwarf took back the dice with satisfaction and shook his head slightly: "No need, I will win sometimes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the few coins he had lost in his pocket came back out of thin air. At the same time, the money in the winner's pocket disappeared silently, without the other party noticing it at all.
"I said, little dwarf, aren't you working as a coachman? That game just now was enough to cost you half a month's salary... Ha! I won't laugh at you anymore, I just advise you to do what you can." The winner continued to tease.
.
The dwarf man sat on a stool that was too uncomfortable for his body shape, with his legs dangling in the air, making people laugh.
He ignored the disdainful looks of others and responded calmly: "Destiny is like a spinning roulette wheel. The four of us sit in four directions, and there will always be a time when it turns to our side."
"It's possible that the wheel is spinning too slowly and it's been with me all day long!" The winner in the upper hand started the second round of dealing cards, and someone on the side had already left and was replaced by someone else.
A few minutes later, the dwarf's words came true. The winner of the previous hand became the loser of this hand. He got a bad hand of cards and ended in a disastrous defeat.
"Fuck you, mother! You have to spit out the money you just stuffed into your pocket!"
While cursing, he began to take money out of his pocket, not noticing that the dwarf man in front of him threw the dice again.
The dice rolled several times on the table, and when it stopped it was 2 o'clock.
Subsequently, every time the gambler on the other side handed him a coin or a banknote, the dwarf stuffed it back into his pocket and it would become two or two coins, while the gambler's own pocket would lose one out of thin air.
Just like that, the man found out strangely that he had no money.
"Wait a minute! Where's my money?"
"It seems that you lost your underwear tonight." The dwarf put his hands on the table and stared at the other person.
The man was a little crazy: "No... something's wrong. I won a lot in that game just now. I can't lose everything in one go. Damn it... did you steal my money?"
He pointed the finger at a spectator standing behind him, thinking that the other person had secretly taken the money from his pocket.
The spectators would definitely not admit it, so the two men fought there, knocked over the table, and were finally dragged out by two thugs from the casino.
There were boos everywhere, but then the gamblers were completely unfazed and lifted the tables and continued playing cards.
In the next few poker games, many people discovered that this dwarf man would throw the dice once after each game.
When he loses, it's usually 1 and 6 points, while when he wins, it's usually between 2 and 5 points. People who play cards with him basically lose everything and leave the table after just a few games.
In this guy's words, the wheel of fortune is now on his side.
Until finally, something unexpected happened. After losing the game, the dwarf still rolled a 2 with the dice.
He suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, then immediately gave up the game and stopped playing after paying off the money.
"Hey! I saw you still had money in your hand, why did you leave?" The gambler next to him who didn't know how many rounds had changed asked the dwarf.
The dwarf stood up and left his seat, glancing back at him.
"A smart gambler will stop immediately when he realizes that he has lost his luck."
As he walked out of the casino, the person who had defeated him suddenly found that the money he had withdrawn seemed to have doubled...
…
Back to Victor, the news of Will's arrest was brought to him by De Gaulle, because it was not the police station that arrested Will, but the police station.
This incident almost exposed Victor's secrets in front of de Gaulle. He was quite shocked when he got the news.
"Remember the commission I received from Mr. DiLeo? This Will Evans is the suspect who stole his brother's belongings. Now I have a chance to catch him, hahaha!"
From de Gaulle's mouth, Victor learned what happened to Will.
He did go to see the captain, who in turn introduced him to another senior executive of Rockefeller Ocean Shipping Company, who was also the captain's direct superior, named Luc Dillon.
The accident that happened later happened because of this person.
Will went to visit Mr. Luc Dillon alone, and the two of them were alone in a room talking about related topics. Unexpectedly, Luc died so suddenly!
At that time, apart from the deceased, only Will was in the room, and the time after the autopsy matched up, so his suspicion could not be cleared at all.
This accident caught Victor off guard. He had been worried about Will's personal safety, so he gave him a golden spell and a yang talisman, but he didn't expect...
Judging from De Gaulle's excitement, he might go to the police station to inquire about Will.
This guy had always suspected that Will had stolen Bilbo Konova's relics, and the thing that Dilio's murderer and his wife were looking for was most likely that relic.
Previously, De Gaulle had no way to deal with Will due to the police bureau disrupting the situation, but this time Will was detained in the police station, which might be his chance to break through the Dilio case!
Victor knew his plan, and of course he would not let him succeed, so he asked de Gaulle to meet him at the police station on the pretext of a personal matter. He went to the Police Bureau first and asked Henry to find a way to take over Will's case to the Police Bureau.
"If it has not been identified as an invisible technique or a terrorist attack, the Police Bureau has no reason to ask the police station to transfer the case. It seems to be difficult at present, unless the director personally comes forward..."
Henry first refused Victor's request, but as soon as he finished speaking, a colleague handed him a letter of order.
Henry pulled it open and saw that it was the seal of the Minister of Defense and Suppression.
"Okay...your minister asked us to take over the murder case of Will Evans from the police station. I will immediately ask my boss for instructions to send someone over to transfer the suspect."
