Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

The dealer noticed that Wu Mingcheng hadn't placed his bet yet, so he reminded him.

"Sir, aren't you going to place a bet?"

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Wu Mingcheng, wanting to see what bet he would place.

It turned out that Wu Mingcheng had been listening to the sounds coming from inside the dice cup; listening to the dice is a common gambling technique.

The number he deduced was three sixes (three identical digits), which was getting interesting.

He smiled and said,

"This is my first game today. The first game is all about momentum. You have to have enough momentum. Winning or losing doesn't matter. So let's..." (door)

Chapter 418 Add 500 to play around

He pulled out ten bills from the banknotes and placed them on three sets of sixes.

The people around him were stunned when they saw his bet.

"No, they've already caught a leopard right off the bat?"

"Is he sure? You must be kidding,"

"Maybe he's rich and just playing around."

"Well, now we have another one bringing us money,"

............................................................

Many people thought Wu Mingcheng was a clueless sucker who was betting recklessly, and they all showed disdainful smiles, already fantasizing about how to make money off Wu Mingcheng.

What they didn't realize was that with the support of the system's specialized "813" gambling skill, what was the skill of listening to dice to Wu Mingcheng?

At this moment, the dealer spoke again.

"Alright, everyone, place your bets now, let's get ready to start."

A group of people gathered around the gambling table, all watching expectantly as the dealer revealed the dice.

The moment the dealer picked up the dice cup, the entire room erupted in an uproar. Inside were three sixes, a rare sight indeed.

Everyone looked at Wu Mingcheng. He had actually guessed right. What kind of luck was that?

The result was three sixes (three identical tiles), but the odds were the highest at 25 to 1. In just this one hand, Wu Mingcheng pocketed 25,000 yuan.

No wonder gambling is so addictive. If you're lucky, it can take you to heaven in an instant, but it can also send you to hell in just as long.

Li Dawei, standing next to Wu Mingcheng, was also stunned the moment the sieve was revealed.

Before the answer was revealed, he and many others hoped that Wu Mingcheng was making reckless bets.

He was thinking to himself, "This is a thousand dollars in cash, not just blank paper. Why can't I do something with it?"

At this moment, he excitedly took back all the money that Wu Mingcheng had won from the entire game.

And so, Wu Mingcheng played several rounds, winning and losing, but overall he still won.

This was only because Wu Mingcheng deliberately lost a few hands to avoid arousing suspicion of cheating at the casino; otherwise, he could have won every single hand.

After playing several rounds, Li Dawei collected all the money he had won from the table. He had already won a total of 50,000 yuan from this table.

So he waved over one of the casino employees, casually tossed him two hundred dollars, and then asked,

"The playground outside is too small, it's not fun at all. Is there a bigger place? This isn't enough!"

At this moment, the bald man in the monitoring room saw this scene, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave instructions to his subordinate.

"Take him to the private room inside,"

The henchman overheard the bald man's words and said to Wu Mingcheng,

“There are some people playing Texas Hold’em in our private room right now, and the stakes are pretty high. Shall I take you there?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng immediately became interested and said to Li Dawei, who was standing beside him,

"Put the money away, let's go inside and play some poker. We've been playing here forever, and we've only won this little bit."

With that, he stood up and followed the henchman inside.

Wu Mingcheng kept glancing around and noticed a door next to the toilet at the back. He decided to go and take a look.

He spoke to the henchman leading the way.

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to run the water."

So he walked towards the back toilet on his own.

Just then, a few people were leaving, and they went out through the door next to the toilet.

Wu Mingcheng silently memorized this location; it seemed this door was the casino's exit.

He didn't look around too much; the casino was completely covered by security cameras.

He felt that someone was definitely watching his every move through the security cameras.

After coming out of the restroom, he happened to pass by a small private room. A person came out of it, presumably also wanting to use the restroom.

He glanced inside unintentionally and saw a small gambling table with four or five people sitting around it.

He and Li Dawei followed the henchman to a small private room, where they found an extra seat.

When he saw that the table was covered in hundred-dollar bills, he knew that the games here were much bigger than those outside.

Wu Mingcheng has now basically found out the situation at the casino.

To be honest, with gambling now completely banned in mainland China, this casino is already quite large.

After he sat down, he glanced at the people on his left and right.

Judging from their attire, these people were likely some locally successful business owners.

The people in the private room couldn't help but chuckle when they saw how young Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei looked.

When Wu Mingcheng came out of the bathroom, he washed his hands and casually rolled up his sleeves.

Therefore, they didn't see the temporary tattoo on Wu Mingcheng's arm, assuming that 5.6 was because they were just ordinary young people.

They looked at each other, smiled, and

So young, I wonder where they came from, gambling away their families' money. These kinds of young people are the least likely to value money.

They were secretly delighted; they had finally struck gold today.

Wu Mingcheng had just entered when a new game started, and the dealer began dealing cards to each player in turn.

When it was Wu Mingcheng's turn to speak, he didn't even look at his cards, but pulled out five red banknotes and threw them onto the table.

"I'm having a lucky day, I'll add another five hundred to play around."

Chapter 419 Just One Head Down

Then one of them, slightly surprised and equally disappointed, smiled and said...

"Hey, young man, you've already added five hundred without even looking at your cards. I can't spoil the fun, so I'll consider it an investment for everyone and add five hundred too."

They kept adding up the money in increments of 500 to 500 each time, and there was already a lot of money on the table.

Some people couldn't hold on any longer and looked at their cards first.

In reality, gambling is often a contest of wills; once the game starts, you must not lose your momentum.

If you back down halfway through, once you look at your cards, there will only be one outcome: folding.

After another three rounds and five hundred more, only three players, including Wu Mingcheng, had not yet folded.

Li Dawei watched in horror; the scene was truly shocking.

The pile of red banknotes on the table was real money, more than Li Dawei's salary for half a year.

No wonder some people are so addicted to gambling that they can't extricate themselves. Seeing so much money, who can resist the temptation?

It's really easy to mistakenly believe that the money on the table can go into your own pocket. Once you have that misconception, you're doomed.

At this moment, several people nearby, watching Wu Mingcheng who had been climbing all the way up, couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

The other two are seasoned gamblers. This guy is such a greenhorn, blindly following them. Isn't he just handing them money?

One of them spoke up.

"How about this, I'll just add a thousand. Now it's just the three of us left. None of us have looked at our cards, so there's no point in keeping up the bid. Let's just reveal the cards."

The other person nodded in agreement.

"I'm fine with it, but it's up to you, young man."

Wu Mingcheng then spread his hands casually and said,

"Sure, I agree. Let's start, let's move on to the next round as soon as possible."

None of the three of them looked at their cards; it was entirely up to fate, seeing who would have the best luck in this round.

The other two players then turned over their cards and found they had a pair of sevens, and a King and a Fifty of different suits.

The most important rule of Texas Hold'em is to compare the size of three cards. The lowest is a single card, followed by a pair, a flush, a straight flush, and of course, the highest is a bomb (three cards of the same rank).

Actually, in normal games, a pair of sharp cards is already considered a relatively strong hand, since the latter three types of cards are very difficult to come by.

Immediately, the player opposite him, after revealing his cards, beamed with joy, feeling victory was assured. His chances of winning were extremely high, and his hands were already poised to collect the winnings.
