The Book of Appreciation

"9 of spades?"

The head referee, Lopez, picked up the 9 of spades in front of Johnson and examined them carefully. The referee on duty stood aside, observing Johnson's face from the corner of his eye. .

"Shet! Are his eyes that sharp?"

Tom's question made several directors in the monitoring room look at each other in blank dismay. They had seen it so many times before but couldn't see it. How did you find out about this kid?

"William, please contact those who know about this matter, especially the guys who made this film, and immediately let them hide outside for a while. In addition, arrange a lawyer for Johnson, and finally...call the boss, Who are you coming?"

Several people looked at each other, and after a long while, Appleton smiled wryly and said:

"Damn it, I finally understand why that fellow Duques took the initiative to apply to be a broadcast guest! Forget it, I'll make this call."

Seeing a few people preparing to start making calls, Remes, who had been staring at the TV screen, suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, those guys can inform, wait for the boss's phone call, you see, that guy Lopez doesn't seem to notice..."

In the studio, Duken's hand under the table was also sweating. This matter was suggested by him and insisted on implementation. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, the host Angela sitting next to him didn't understand his mood at this time, and kept asking,

"Director Duken, player Wu Di said that there is a problem with the 9 of spades. Excuse me, can you explain to the audience, is there really a problem?"

If it was in a place where no one was around, Duken believed that he would definitely take off his stinky socks and stop the little mouth of this nasty woman without hesitation. Unfortunately, it's live broadcast now...

"This... Logically speaking, the cards used in the game have been carefully inspected before the game. It may be that Wu Di saw an extra 9 of spades, so he held on to it. After all, you also heard the head referee just now. That sentence, if he can't prove that he is not unreasonable, he will most likely be disqualified."

"On this point, Director Dukan, not only I think Mr. Lopez's words may be a little bit wrong, but the audience in front of the TV will think it is a bit unreasonable? Because anyway, there is indeed a problem. At this time, it seems a little unreasonable to punish Wu Di with unreasonable reasons..."

"From a rational point of view, there may be a little problem, but don't forget, the chief referee also said that if no one made a move, but there was only a problem with the cards, how did Wu Di find out? Could it be that he had already Did you know there would be a problem with this deck?"

"This should be impossible."

"That's right, if this is impossible, then his accusation is unreasonable. It's just that he was lucky, and there was a problem with the cards used in the game. Tell me, should we put an end to this behavior or encourage it?" behavior?"

The more Duken said, the more stable he felt. It seemed that Lopez didn't notice anything unusual...

Hearing Duken's answer, Angela shook her head. Indeed, this problem is difficult to deal with.

"Player Wu Di, this card has been checked and there should be no problem. Excuse me..."

Lopez exchanged a few words with the referee in a low voice, then turned to Wu Di and said.

"Do you smoke, Mr. Referee?"

Lopez's face darkened. This guy really was making trouble out of no reason. What does the check card have to do with whether he smokes or not?

"If you smoke, please take out the lighter and lightly light the upper right corner of the card. I think you will find something very interesting."

Lopez frowned suspiciously, but Johnson, who had been standing calmly by the side, changed his face drastically.

"Mr. Chief Referee, I'm fucked! It's fine for Wu Di to accuse me of cheating for no reason, but he still questioned your judgment, I think..."

Lopez cut him off with a wave of his hand,

"Bring me a lighter right away, or matches."

At this time, even the audience in front of the TV had already noticed that something was wrong with Johnson. This guy who had been acting very calm and full of gentlemanly demeanor just now was shaking like chaff, and beads of sweat kept dripping from his body. His forehead slid down, and the eyes looking at Wu Di contained deep jealousy in despair.

"Director Dukan, judging from player Johnson's performance, there might be something really wrong with that card. By the way, just now player Wu Di said that someone put a vest on it. Excuse me, this is a new way to draw a thousand cards. ?"

At this time, Duken's forehead was already sweating, and while he was looking for a tissue in a panic, he said:

"I don't know. If Johnson is really out of luck, it's really terrible. After such a strict inspection, no one has been able to find out..."

"Yes, if Johnson is really using a trick that has not been discovered before, I think casinos all over the world should thank player Wu Di, because his accusation will probably save hundreds of millions of dollars. The loss of US dollars... Oh, no, I'm very sorry, I miscalculated, but the value of the "Wuding Lanting Preface" in this competition should exceed [-] million US dollars..."

At the scene, a waiter hurried in and handed a single-name lighter to Lopez. Lopez glanced at Wu Di and Johnson, snorted coldly, and lit the lighter.

Only a "plop" was heard, and Johnson had fallen limply to the ground.

The referee on duty winked at the waiter delivering the lighter. Immediately, two strong security guards ran over, picked up Johnson and dragged him out. The director quickly focused the camera on the lighter in Lopez's hand.

There is no doubt that Johnson has a problem. However, the same question came to everyone's mind. What kind of trick is this, and it needs to be judged by a lighter?Has this method of cheating been cracked for a long time or is it really the latest technology?

Angela felt the tension in the atmosphere and said with a smile:

"Director Duquesne, if, after I mention the advertisement, the answer will be revealed immediately. Do you think the TV station will be smashed by angry viewers? Director Duquesne? Well, it seems that Director Duquesne has been fascinated by it. , In fact, this is understandable, because he is in charge of the technical department of the entire MGM Hotel... Oh, what did we see? Mr. Lopez actually peeled off the cards..."

At this moment, Lopez's face was as dark as the sky before the rainstorm. This damn Johnson, who made a mistake by himself, unexpectedly made him suffer bad luck!

The camera captured the face of the card Lopez was still holding in time, and suddenly it was the missing 4 of spades!

In bars, cafes, offices...all the viewers who watched the game in front of the TV were blown away,

"Oh my god, such a superb trick is really scary, **Mir, I promise, I will never go to a casino again."

"Xie Te, how can I say that I have been losing money for a while? It turns out that the current technology has developed to this extent! No, I'm going to claim compensation from the casino!"

"That's right, we should unite and claim compensation from the casino!"

"I hope the police will intervene and find out the source of this technology as soon as possible..."

The camera lens is fixed on the thin plastic film in Lopez's hand. The film is opaque, and there are still traces of the burner on the upper right corner. One side of it is suddenly a pattern of a 9 of spades!

Lopez took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to Wu Di and said:

"Mr. Wu Di, I apologize for questioning you just now. You are a real master, but, can you tell me how you discovered Johnson's tricks?"

At this moment, not only the audience, but also Duken in the studio and Tom in the monitoring room were all concentrated. Yes, no mystery was discovered in slow motion. The chief referee and the referee checked the cards twice. No problem was found, how did this kid find out?Could it be that he has encountered such a trick before?Or, he himself is a master in this field?

Wu Di smiled modestly and said:

"First of all, I really admire the attitude of Mr. Chief Referee in handling this matter. If it weren't for your mind being as broad as the sea, Johnson would really get away with it. As for how I found out that he cheated, this involves my personal secret. , it is not convenient to explain it to everyone here. However, I can tell you that I am not only an appraiser, but also a master stone gambler. In the process of betting stones, I have encountered many fake merchants , they used this method to slice some high-quality jade..."

Everyone was dissatisfied with Wu Di's explanation, however, out-of-thousand is a kind of technique, and seeing through out-thousand is of course also a kind of skill, so no one can force a player to show this unique skill to the public Publicly, so Lopez just smiled and announced the result,

"In this game, Mr. Wu Di won, and while Johnson was out, he will also be investigated by the organizing committee of the competition. At the same time, we will apply for the police to intervene for the crime of fraud. And the scammers in the casino..."

In the monitoring room, several people got busy, Appleton thought and thought, finally picked up the phone,

"Arrange those people to leave immediately! Are there any of us at the scene? Let them warn Johnson that if he still wants to die, he should know what to do. In addition, use all your means to eliminate the impact of this incident as much as possible..."

A series of instructions were conveyed from the monitoring room, and all the casinos in Las Vegas were busy, but in the game room, it seemed extraordinarily quiet at the moment, because after nearly an hour of suspension, the game continued. here we go. (To be continued.)
