Chapter 22 Peak Showdown

Chapter 22 Peak Showdown

There is a huge underground cave in Shalya, Russia. The cave is unfathomable, rugged and narrow, and expedition members from many countries have tried their best to avoid going down to the bottom. Scientists implanted a chip into the brain of a bat and controlled it to fly into the cave.

The discovery of diamonds wiped two villages off the map and created a city.

During the Gulf War, the U.S. military also built "robotic snakes" and "intelligent mice" to detect enemy situations and search for intelligence.

The Robot Research Center of Shandong University of Science and Technology has created a magical pigeon, an ordinary domestic pigeon with microelectrodes on its head. It can accurately complete takeoff, hover, and fly around the laboratory according to the computer instructions issued by the researchers.

Landed flight mission.

On May 12, 2001, a gecko climbed onto the roof of the Old Gun Casino.

That is to say, from that day on, a strange guest came to Lao Qiang's casino. The strange thing about him was that he had never lost for ten days in a row, and his bets were astonishingly large. There are people who win every day in the casino, but they win continuously.

The person who wins for ten days must be a scammer. Bao Yuan observed carefully but found no problems. By checking the surveillance video in the casino, Bao Yuan discovered that this person also had two accomplices. The three of them knew each other, but

They pretend to be strangers, play their own games, and never talk. They win a lot of money every time they come, and the casino suffers serious losses.

These three people are: Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu.

The Dao Gun Pao gang is very powerful. For fear of alerting the enemy, the headquarters did not notify the Northeast Police, but sent Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long and Han Bingyu to conduct a secret investigation. The headquarters secretly froze the bank accounts of the three Dao Gun Pao brothers because they had a lot of liquidity.

, in order to prevent them from escaping with their money, Zhou Xingxing, Han Bingyu, and Hualong went to Lao Qiang's casino. Their mission was to win money.

There is only one way to win money in the casino: play by the thousands!

The headquarters teamed up with several scientists to create a robotic gecko. The scientists implanted a chip into the gecko's brain and controlled it to crawl, stop, and enter hibernation. A wireless pinhole probe was installed in the gecko's mouth, which emits far-infrared rays.

You can scan ordinary poker cards to know what the hole cards of each poker card are. You can also scan the balls on the roulette wheel and accurately determine the landing point of the balls through computer speed measurement.

The gecko climbed to the roof of the casino, fired a laser scan, fed the information back to the computer in the command center for analysis, and sent a secret signal to Han Bingyu and them through a neon clock tower outside the casino window, so that they would win without losing. Pier,

Stations often have large clock towers. In order for people to see the time clearly at night, lights are illuminated around the dials of the clock tower.

The casino where Lao Gun works is near the pier, and the clock tower can be seen from the casino window.

Roulette is one of the most representative games in casinos. The roulette wheel has a total of 38 fields, divided into two inner and outer circles. Each field in the inner circle has a number, ranging from 1 to 36, and 0 and 00;

The circles are red and black in alternating colors, usually half red and half black. In large casinos, you can still place bets after the ball is shot out, until the dealer calls out. Gamblers are free to choose where they think the ball will stay.

You can bet on odd, even or specific numbers. After the dealer hits the ball, the casino will lose money according to certain odds. After the dealer hits the ball, the gecko on the roof of the casino will emit a laser invisible to the naked eye, which will be fed back to the command center.

Through computer analysis of the speed measurement, we know where the ball will land, and then control the neon lights in the clock tower to give hints to Han Bingyu, Hualong and Zhou Xingxing in the casino. The whole process only takes a few seconds. If the ball will land on 6,

The light at 6 o'clock on the dial of the clock tower will light up. They bet on the number 6 and 10,000 yuan in chips. If the ball stops on 6, the casino will lose money at 35 times the odds. That is a win.

350,000.

On May 22, 2001, Lao Qiang lit a cigarette. Amidst the smoke, he took a deep breath. He didn't know that his life was about to burn to the ground.

Lao Qiang asked: "About how much have you lost in the past few days?"

Baoyuan carefully said a number.

The cigarette in the old gunman's hand fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice: "This won't work, we have to find a way."

Baoyuan said: "I can't see them going out of their way."

Lao Qiang said: "Trash, I kept you in vain."

Baoyuan said: "The reputation of the casino is very important. If we drive them away, other gamblers will not come to play."

"Get rid of them?" Lao Qiang snorted, "It's not that easy. They won me so much money."

Baoyuan said: "Maybe they are masters of calculating probabilities. There are occasionally such people in big casinos."

Lao Qiang said: "Aren't you also a master? Go and bet with them and win our money back."

Baoyuan said: "I don't want to bet. I promised the master before."

Lao Qiang said earnestly: "Baoyuan, how many years have you not been home?"

Baoyuan thought for a while and sighed: "It's been four years."

Lao Qiang said: "I have good news for you. Dazouzi has gone to pick up your son, as well as your mother and your wife."

Baoyuan said: "Ah, really?"

Lao Qiang said: "You can see them at night."

Baoyuan stopped talking. The last time he saw his son was four years ago. At that time, his son was only 3 years old. He remembered that his son was holding a can with red and green cherries soaked in it. The son was very good and reluctant to eat.

, feed one to mom first, and then one to dad. Thinking of this, his nose felt sore and his eye circles turned red.

Lao Qiang said: "You are not gambling for yourself, you are gambling for your son and your mother. You don't want our casino to close, right?"

Baoyuan said: "Okay, I'll bet!"

Han Bingyu, Hualong, and Zhou Xingxing were invited into the VIP room by the foreman of the casino. Lao Qiang shook hands with Han Bingyu, and the foreman introduced: "This is our boss."

Lao Qiang said: "Three of you have won a lot."

Han Bingyu said: "I'm feeling pretty lucky these days."

Lao Qiang pointed at Baoyuan and said: "This is a big boss. He is rich and enjoys gambling. Do you want to play with him?"

Hua Long said: "I still have something to do."

Zhou Xingxing also said: "Let's wait another day."

Lao Qiang said: "You all played all night long. Today is very unusual. You come to the casino to win money."

Han Bingyu said: "Okay."

Han Bingyu, Hua Long, and Zhou Xingxing pretended to be real gamblers. There was still a trace of doubt in their eyes. They knew that they were being targeted by the casino and it would be difficult to escape without losing all their money. Bao Yuan sat at the table,

With an expressionless face, he was thinking about his son, wife and mother. What he missed actually no longer existed - he didn't know that his family had been in a car accident.

After discussion, Baoyuan, Han Bingyu, Hualong and Zhou Xingxing decided to play stud.

Baoyuan shuffles the cards. The shuffling technique is the "perfect shuffling method" that only senior tricksters can do. The perfect shuffling method can be said to be the highest level of shuffling. It shuffles a deck of cards one by one and presses them one by one.

One card has a fixed order every time. As long as you remember the card sequence, you can know what card will be dealt next.

Bao Yuan shuffled the cards five times using the perfect shuffling method. This was also the most chaotic time. Although it was very chaotic, Bao Yuan remembered the order, so he knew what each trump card was. After several rounds, he drew the dragon the most.

First he lost all his chips, then Zhou Xingxing gradually lost all his chips. Han Bingyu remained calm and cautiously bet money.

Bao Yuan was surprised to find that Han Bing Yu also knew the hole cards - when Bao Yuan got a good card, Han Bing Yu would give up, and when Bao Yuan got a bad card, Han Bing Yu would place a bet.

The gecko was in the lobby of the casino. The VIP room where Han Bingyu was located had no windows, and he couldn't see the clock tower outside the window. How did he know the opponent's trump card?

One word: Look!

When Bao Yuan was reading the cards, Han Bingyu looked into Bao Yuan's eyes.

The changes in the pupils of the eyes cannot be controlled by people. The dilation and contraction of the pupils truly reflect complex and changeable psychological activities. If a person feels excited, happy, or fond, the pupils will expand to four times larger than usual.

; On the contrary, when you feel frustrated, negative, or disgusted, your pupils will shrink and become smaller.

Han Bingyu served as a special forces soldier. When practicing sniping, he could stare at a sheep dung egg for an entire afternoon. He learned the opponent's trump card by observing the changes in the pupils of Bao Yuan's eyes.

In the last round, Han Bingyu lost. He was just acting, deliberately confusing the other party. If he lost all his money at once, it would definitely arouse Baoyuan's suspicion. Han Bingyu understood that it would be difficult to get out if he didn't lose all his money.

casino.

Han Bingyu shook his head and sighed, spread his hands and said, "Unlucky, I lost everything. Let's play again next time."

Hua Long and Zhou Xingxing stood up and told Lao Qiang that they would come to play tomorrow.

At this time, the door to the VIP room opened, and Paozi and Erjiezi walked in with double-barreled shotguns. They blocked the door.

Lao Qiang asked: "What's going on?"

Paozi pointed his gun at Hualong and said, "Brother, they are the police."

Zhou Xingxing shouted: "You guys are going too far. You won't let me go even after losing money, and you are talking nonsense."

Another pale young man appeared at the door, also holding a gun in his hand.

He is Goofy!

The predecessor of this criminal group was a circus performing arts. After the circus disbanded, its members formed a criminal underworld group. Based on the undercover investigation of Zhou Xingxing and Hualong, the police successively eliminated the backbone of the criminal group: Shan Ya and San Wen

After Qian Gao Fei escaped from Huacheng, he traveled to the Northeast. He recognized Zhou Xingxing and Hua Long on the surveillance TV in the casino and immediately informed Paozi.

Gao Fei said to Zhou Xingxing and Hua Long: "What a coincidence, long time no see."

Lao Qiang angrily grabbed Er Erzi's gun and pointed the muzzle at Han Bingyu: "Is this a policeman too?"

Hua Long said: "I don't know him."

Han Bingyu said: "Me too."

Hua Long’s original intention was to excuse Han Bingyu, but Han Bingyu didn’t want to leave his companions alone. At the same time, Hua Long kicked over the table, rushed forward and strangled Bao Yuan’s neck, and he blocked Bao Yuan’s neck.

As a hostage in front of his own body, Hua Long said: "I have to find someone to support me when I die."

Lao Qiang laughed and said: "He is just a dog I raised. Shoot."

"Wait," Han Bingyu said, "we surrender!"

Hua Long let go of Bao Yuan, and Er Erzi kicked him in the crotch. Hua Long bent over in pain.

Hua Long, Han Bingyu, and Zhou Xingxing had their hands tied behind their backs and were taken to the basement.

The three of them were sitting on a bench. The basement was also a kitchen, and there were a lot of sundries there.

Gao Fei took out a sweet potato and placed it at the muzzle of the gun.

Gao Fei asked: "Do you know what you can do with sweet potatoes?"

Han Bingyu replied: "Silent, so you can't hear the gunshots outside."

Gao Fei said: "Smart."

Lao Qiang said: "Who sent you, what are you here for, and what do you know?"

Han Bingyu said: "Just shoot."

Hua Long looked like he was looking forward to death.

Zhou Xingxing closed his eyes.

Lao Qiang said: "It's not that easy."

There was an electric stove next to the wall, and the wires were burning red. Er Jiazi took off Zhou Xingxing's shoes and forced him to stand on the red-hot electric stove. Zhou Xingxing had a look of fear on his face, and Han Bingyu said, "I'll take his place."

Let's go." He kicked off his shoes and stood on the stove. A burning smell immediately rose up in the basement. There was something wrong with his pain-sensing nervous system and he was numb to the pain, even though his feet were tingling.

There was a loud noise, but he didn't even frown.

Paozi let Han Bing meet down and praised: "He is a man!"

"What the hell, your mother." The old gun fired at Han Bingyu. The moment he pulled the trigger, Han Bingyu moved his body slightly to avoid his chest, and the bullet penetrated his arm.

.Dodging bullets is an advanced skill that can only be mastered by a special soldier.

Paozi and Erjiezi tortured the three of them in every possible way. Several of the sticks were broken, and the three of them lay dying on the ground. Paozi and Erjiezi were tired, and Lao Qiang threw the pistol to Bao Yuan.

Let him take a good look at it.

Bao Yuan held a gun and sat on a chair with his head lowered.

After a while, it became dark.

Lao Qiang came out of the lounge and said to Bao Yuan: "Bao Yuan, Dazhizi had a car accident."

Baoyuan raised his head in shock.

Lao Qiang said: "Your son, your mother, and your wife are all dead."

Bao Yuan's scalp exploded and the gun in his hand fell off. Lao Qiang picked up the pistol and asked Bao Yuan to go to the traffic police team to have a look.

Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long, and Han Bingyu lay motionless on the ground. Lao Qiang walked over to check if they were dead.

Hua Long, who was still dying just now, suddenly kicked out twice, one kicked the gun out of the old gunman's hand, and the other kicked the old gunman in the knee.

The pistol fell right next to Han Bingyu. Han Bingyu held the gun between his two feet, lay on the ground, and quickly adjusted his posture. He pulled the trigger with his big toe, and the bullet hit the old gun's abdomen.

Han Bingyu, Hualong, and Zhou Xingxing stood up. They had no time to untie the rope. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and they left the basement and ran toward the dock together. At this moment, it was already dawn, and there were loud gunshots, cannons, and two cries.

Son, Gao Fei chased after hearing the gunshot.

Han Bingyu, Hua Long, and Zhou Xingxing fled to a ship near the dock.

"Set the boat quickly, we are police and we are being chased." Zhou Xingxing said to the panicked boat boss. The boat boss was drinking with a guy. He stood up and looked back, and saw several people chasing him on the pier.

The boss of the ship said: "The ship is being repaired and cannot move. You should hide first."

"Where to hide?" Zhou Xingxing asked.

The boss of the ship said: "Hide it in a sack and I will say it is cargo."

Zhou Xingxing didn't have time to think about it, and they didn't even have time to untie the ropes tied to their hands. The boss of the ship winked at the crew, stuffed Zhou Xingxing, Hualong and Han Bingyu into sacks, tied their mouths with ropes, and put them on their bodies.

Cover with a canvas.

The boat boss chuckled.

As we said before, the three brothers Dao, Gun and Pao are also engaged in the smuggling business. This ship is used by Paozi for smuggling, and the boss of the ship is also Paozi's subordinate.

The boss of the boat said to the approaching Pao Zi: "San Pao, those people are on my boat."

Paozi threw the gun to the boat boss and said to Erjiezi and Gao Fei: "Kill them. I'll go back and see my brother."

Gao Fei and Er Erzi rushed into the cabin. The boss of the ship untied the canvas and said, "Here it is."

Zhou Xingxing and the others realized that they were on a pirate ship. Hua Long cursed inside the sack. The boss of the ship hit the sack hard with a crowbar. Hua Long and Zhou Xingxing fainted. Han Bingyu was shot in the arm because he lost too much blood.

, his consciousness is also in a fuzzy state.

The boss of the boat said: "Throw them into the sea and drown them."

Gao Fei said: "The bodies will float to the shore."

Er Jiezi said: "Killing them with one shot would be too easy for them."

Gao Fei said: "Yes, they are all people who are not afraid of death."

Erjiezi said: "What should we do?"

The boss of the ship said: "I have a good idea."

The boat started moving and the motor roared.

Han Bingyu was groggy, and he didn't know how long it took. Finally, the ship stopped. He felt himself being lifted up and fell heavily to the ground. Then, he heard two more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

sound.

The three of them were thrown onto an uninhabited desert island.

Three sacks lie on the beach.

The desert island is very small, far away from the coastline, with no fresh water, no food, and even no trees. There are only a few large bare rocks exposed in the sand. The desert island is surrounded by reefs, and few ships pass by.

Hualong woke up first and bit the sack with his teeth. He got Zhou Xingxing out of the sack first, and then helped each other untie the rope tied around his wrist. Han Bingyu fell unconscious.

Zhou Xingxing: "Why are we here?"

Hua Long: "I'm surprised too."

Zhou Xingxing: "How is Lao Han?"

Hua Long: "I seem to have fainted."

Zhou Xingxing: "I understand."

Hualong: "What?"

Zhou Xingxing: "What's more terrifying than death?"

Hua Long: "Just say it."

Zhou Xingxing: "Waiting to die."

Hua Long: "Do they want us to wait to die slowly?"

Zhou Xingxing: "Starve to death, thirst to death."

Hua Long: "In a few days, we will be so hungry that we can even eat dog feces."

Zhou Xingxing: "It's a pity that there's not even dog excrement on this island."

Hua Long: "If you are hungry, you will eat people, right?"

Zhou Xingxing: "Maybe, maybe we will eat Lao Han first."

Hualong: "Then what?"

Zhou Xingxing: "Then you kill me, eat my flesh, and drink my blood."

Hua Long: "In the end, I starved to death on this desert island?"

Zhou Xingxing: "Yes, they just want us to kill each other here and wait to die slowly."

On May 23, 2001, a man was standing in front of a fruit stall.

The boss asked: "What do you want to buy, oranges, apples, pears, or bananas?"

He shook his head.

The boss continued to ask: "What fruit do you want to buy?"

He took out all the money in his pocket and said, "I'll buy that fruit knife."

He is Baoyuan.

Baoyuan walked towards a field where the wheat seedlings were green and the fruit knife in his hand was shining with the sun.

He lay on his back in the green wheat field and began to recall the past clearly, which was as clear as the blue sky.

He used to own a motorized tricycle, and one time it rained heavily. He and his wife drove the motorized tricycle and laughed in the rain. They went to the market every day to sell fish, and the unsold fish were stored in the cold storage. He still remembers the cold storage.

, there were icicles drooping on the roof, and icicles standing on the ground. The icicles on the ground were caused by the icicles on the roof. They dripped water and froze quickly. My wife said, I am cold. Baoyuan hugged her.

After his son was born, he cried all night. He and his mother took turns holding the child and coaxing him at night. His mother often yawned during the day when she was selling fish. As the son grew older, he punched the fish and the fish dispersed. One year

In winter, he and his son built a snowman in the yard, and then the father and son laughed and beat the snowman hard.

My wife is not beautiful, but she looks very beautiful when she stands behind roses, ice flowers on the glass, pomegranates or oleanders. There are some such photos in the photo frames on the wall of his house.

My son has freckles on his face. He is very naughty and greedy. He often spends 10 cents on soda or lollipops.

His mother likes to eat braised chicken heads, pork liver, and sheep lungs. These are the cheapest.

Later, Baoyuan became obsessed with gambling.

His mother, his wife, and his son have all become people who eat cabbage all day long.

Now they have all left, the door is closed, and there is silence. There is nothing worth mentioning anymore. Only the wind blows through the windows, blows on the dark and dilapidated walls, blows on the mosquito nets, and blows on the small fans hanging in the mosquito nets. They

Everything was gone. Baoyuan closed his eyes, and he saw his son, his wife, and his mother. Some people and things really need to be seen with closed eyes. There is a bend deep in this time and space.

The road is similar to the corner of an alley. You only need to close your eyes to have a final look at the past years.

Baoyuan murmured to himself: "I'm coming."

He cut his wrist with a fruit knife.

Bright red blood splashed on the green wheat seedlings.

Three days later, the police discovered Baoyuan's body. When cleaning up the remains, the police found that he was carrying a letter. The ink on the paper was different. Sometimes it was thick and black, sometimes it was very light. It can be seen that the letter was written in different ways.

The letters were written with different pens on the days before, and some of the handwriting that was wet and smeared with water proved that the person who wrote the letter had cried. The police have never figured out why the letter was not sent.

An excerpt is as follows:

Mom, Ling, Pengpeng, I am working outside for others and living a good life. This is an auto repair shop. I will go back when I make money. Don’t worry about me. I will never gamble again. I’m sorry for you.

I don’t know how you have been living in the past few years. We will never live in poverty again. Mom, I will buy you roast chicken. I know you love chicken skin. Ling, you must wait for me. I miss home so much.

You guys. I still carry the keys to my house. I hang them on my waist every day. I look at them when I have nothing to do. The keys are on the table now. This one opens the door, this one opens the house door, and this one is the drawer.

There is another key on it, Ling, which is the key on your bicycle. I still remember that bicycle. I took you back to your hometown to fish. Do you still remember? We rode from the road to the river. I fished and you sat on it.

Singing next to you scared the fish away from taking the bait. I still remember you singing "Heart Rain": Why do I always think of you deeply in those rainy days... As soon as I listen to this song, I feel sad and want to cry.

, I remember all these, I really want to go home.

Pengpeng, daddy misses you, daddy wants to hug you, how long has it been since I hugged you? You miss daddy too, right? I know you do, I miss you very much, Pengpeng, write

At this point, I cried. Dad is sorry for you. Pengpeng, if you see Dad’s letter, call Dad, I can hear you. Dad is not a bad person. You must study hard in the future and be admitted to university. After that,

It's your birthday in a few days. What should Dad give you? Dad really wants to go home on your birthday, knock on our door, and hold a pocket in his hand, which is full of your favorite things. By then

Pengpeng, don't forget to open the door for dad. Dad will pick you up, lift you up, and say loudly, dad is back and will never leave you again.



After Zhou Xingxing, Hualong and Han Bingyu went missing, the Major Case Command took immediate action. An arresting brigade composed of armed police and special police arrested nearly a hundred members of the knife, gun and gun criminal group within a week, and confiscated a large amount of stolen money and stolen goods. The knife was caught,

The pornographic place he opened was banned and closed. Four people, Gao Fei, Lao Gun, Pao Zi, and Er Jie Zi, were on the run. Ma Youzhai was captured at home without any help.

Ma Youzhai was wearing a cassock. A policeman put handcuffs on him. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha!"

Ma Youzhai seemed to have been waiting for this day to arrive. The cassock on his body was covered with a layer of morning light. He didn't know whether it was day or night. This blind man who had trouble sleeping could still feel the bright sunshine outside even at night.

The police interrogated everyone involved in the case, hoping to learn the whereabouts of Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long and Han Bingyu.

A month later, a boatman surrendered and told the police a major clue. At that time, Bai Jingyu, the commander-in-chief of the major case headquarters, was lying on the mat, sweating all over. When he heard the news, he immediately sat up, sweating

There was a tearing sound when his skin was separated from the straw mat. He rushed into the pre-trial room, regardless of his own image, grabbed the crewman by the collar and asked:

"Where are they?"

"On a desert island."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when dead." Bai Jingyu gave an order to find them.

Under the guidance of the boatman, the coast guard immediately dispatched a patrol helicopter and arrived at the deserted island as quickly as possible. However, there was no one on the island, and no bodies were found. Only waves washed up on the beach. The search and rescue personnel looked at each other, they were pregnant.

With the last glimmer of hope, I searched the nearby waters for an hour, but found nothing.
