Jiang Ke'er, the seemingly reliable first detective of the demon clan and the ruthless Iron Hand, naturally became their backbone and the source of their entire sense of security.

"I'm afraid that the green-hat man's provocation to me just now was not just to exclude me... He was also trying to attract everyone's attention and create an opportunity for his accomplices to commit the crime."

Jiang Ke'er's face was solemn: "I guess, during the riot just now, many new victims have appeared... Please check the number of your chips again."

"Ah! My code is gone again!"

"Oops! I lost my code too!"

Sure enough, just as Jiang Keer said, the mysterious thief took advantage of the chaos and succeeded again.

"Everyone, don't worry!"

At this moment of panic, Jiang Keer stood up!

She smiled confidently, patted her chest, and looked so reliable.

"As a captain of the police, I, Jiang Ke'er, the ruthless iron-handed man, will defend justice and the fairness of the competition to the death! I will never let these villains succeed!"

"Next, please trust me!"

"Believe me, I'm right!"

4. I, Jiang Keer, am a good person!

Knowing that there was a very powerful habitual thief hiding in the field, all the participating monks became very cautious.

They no longer dared to put their chips in packages or the like, but instead tried to hold them in their hands as much as possible, or placed their bets early on the gambling table.

In this way, it would be difficult for Jiang Keer to continue.

But she was not in a hurry at all. Instead, in full view of everyone, she strolled leisurely in the casino with her hands behind her back, accompanied by a few younger brothers whose chips had just been stolen, and began to patrol in a swaggering manner.

Her eyes were as sharp as lightning, sweeping across everyone, and she was obviously an experienced detective.

It seemed that because of Jiang Ke'er's presence, the thief did not dare to continue to act rashly, but became a coward and failed to commit another crime.

"Master Jiang, when can you catch the thief?" a follower asked anxiously, "If we can't catch him, we'll be out..."

"Do not worry."

Jiang Keer observed that almost everyone had already started gambling, and the situation no longer allowed them to wait and see.

After all, it is impossible to win if you hold the chips in your hand. It is better to take advantage of this moment when there are good and bad players, kill a few noobs and save some chips... If you delay it any longer, all the chips will be in the hands of the masters, and it will be difficult to win then.

Inside the casino, it was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers, some were happy and some were sad.

In this fierce war, there are a few shining masters who are particularly conspicuous.

Their faces were beaming with joy, they kept winning, the chips piled up like a mountain in front of them, and even they themselves didn't know why they were so lucky today.

They couldn't help but think - maybe God was helping them.

In order to prevent the chips from being inconvenient to carry and easily stolen, every time they win a bunch of chips, they will run to exchange them for a small number of large chips and hold them tightly in their hands.

In just one morning, 99% of the chips in the casino were in the hands of these masters.

The rest of the people couldn't help but curse their bad luck and left the casino helplessly, hoping to fight again next year.

In the blink of an eye, 90% of the contestants disappeared from the casino.

Including Jiang Ke'er, there are still more than thirty people left.

Among them, more than ten people, although they had lost all their money, still stayed because they had other plans.

"A property in the capital of Dasi State, a Spiritual Eye villa within the Third Ring Road, in exchange for 5,000 chips."

Private transactions are not prohibited in the competition venue. As long as both parties are willing, the rich can directly buy the special prize.

However, the place represented by the special prize is a priceless treasure and represents unlimited opportunities, so not many people are willing to trade it for money.

Of course, there are also people who are not interested in this priceless treasure and just want to make some money and go home to develop steadily.

After a short trading period, another twelve people left. Including Jiang Ke'er, there were twenty people left.

"The situation is now very clear," said a middle-aged man who had just bought a large number of chips and was currently ranked first in the number of chips. "The thief cannot be among the twenty of us, so Miss Constable, you can hand over the chips in your hand."

Jiang Ke'er didn't care. Instead, she nodded, took out her few pitiful small chips, and walked towards the gambling table: "I hope so. Although it's a pity that we didn't catch the culprit, I can also take a rest..."

But at this moment, a distorted scream came from the crowd: "Where is my code?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine.

In the small chaos of the transaction just now, someone actually lost his chips again.

"My chips are also low!"

And there’s more than one person!

Jiang Keer stopped.

There was silence in the field. Jiang Ke'er's gaze lingered on everyone's face for a long time, carefully examining their every expression and movement. It was like the holy light of judgment, which seemed to make all sins visible.

Not to mention the criminals, under the intimidation of her, the demon clan's number one detective, even normal people would feel scared and stammer repeatedly: "It's not me, it's not me!"

"I was standing here just now, and everyone saw it," Jiang Ke'er pointed to the ground under her feet, "So now in this scene, I am the only one who is absolutely innocent... right?"

Facing Jiang Keer's question, everyone nodded.

This is indeed a recognized fact.

"Then, everyone, please listen to me and help you sort out your thoughts. This is my duty as a prophet... oh no, a detective!" Jiang Ke'er showed a reassuring smile, "Please rest assured, as long as I'm alive, I may not be able to catch the thief, but at least I can make this competition proceed in a fair and open environment."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and cast trusting glances at Jiang Keer.

"First of all, since we are sure that there is a thief present, we can't continue to compete according to the conventional thinking," Jiang Ke'er stood at the gambling table again, allowing her crisp voice to be clearly heard by everyone.

"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If we continue to endure for more than 30 days, we will inevitably make mistakes and give the thief an opportunity to commit a crime," Jiang Ke'er said here, paused, and raised her head, "So we must speed up the pace of the game and finish it within this day."

Everyone frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally had to admit - Jiang Keer was right!

No more delay!

"Let me repeat the rules of the game," Jiang Ke'er pointed to a board in the distance with information about the game written on it. "After thirty days, or when all other contestants are eliminated and only one person is left, the game ends."

"Then from now on, we will record the number of chips each person has." Jiang Ke'er squatted down and used the chips to carve a mark on the corner of the table. "After the number is transparent, thieves will not dare to steal openly. Even if they steal, they will not dare to use their newly stolen chips to participate in gambling. They can only hide the stolen chips... until the end of the game."

"But it doesn't matter!" Jiang Ke'er smiled playfully, "The game will end sooner or later. He never expected that we would end the game so quickly, so there are fewer variables... In this way, as long as everyone participates in the bet and eliminates them one by one, then among the last two who are not eliminated except me, there must be a thief!"

"As expected of Detective Jiang!"

"That makes so much sense!"

"Just listen to the detective, that's it!"

Everyone was very cooperative.

"Oh, right," Jiang Ke'er seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at everyone with a smile, "The main purpose of my trip is to catch the thief, and I have no other needs... So in order to avoid suspicion, I will not participate in the gambling."

"Please rest assured, I have no interest in the special prize at all, really."

5. End

The solution proposed by Jiang Keer is not a perfect solution that can make everyone happy.

But if no one else raises any objections, this is indeed an effective and efficient method of exclusion, and it can ensure the interests of the majority.

They thought - at least, they could still compete fairly for a while, instead of being manipulated by the thief without any chance to fight back. Moreover, this way, they still had the hope of winning the special prize.

Excluding Jiang Keer, who only had a few small chips and did not gamble, and therefore had no chance of winning the special prize... the probability of one in nineteen was not low.

Now that they have decided to cut the Gordian knot, everyone stops being fussy and starts finding their own battlefield, risking everything on one throw.

"Bet on the big one!"

"Oshiko!"

"Big Three!"

"Study!"

The sounds of various high-spirited bets and ecstatic cries of victory once again rang out in this empty casino.

The six people whose chips had just been stolen were dejected and could only watch everything in front of them in pain.

After all, according to Jiang Keer's plan, they will have no hope of taking back their own chips, and by the time the thief reveals his identity, the game will be almost over.

At this moment, a sound like the sound of nature rang in their ears.

"I only have 70 chips here," Jiang Ke'er took out her pitiful seven ten-cent chips, divided them into six, and placed them in front of the six people, smiling, "You can take them, but don't think it's too little... I really don't have any more."

The six people couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

This Constable Jiang is really a kind-hearted person... Oh no, a really good monster!

It turns out that there are such great, cute and considerate monsters among monsters!

"It's a lot, a lot. Every penny counts as hope!" a contestant said hurriedly.

"I'm really sorry. I promised to help you get your chips back, but in the end it ended up like this," Jiang Ke'er said with a guilty look on her face, about to cry, "I'm still too weak to defend justice and protect everyone..."

"Don't think like that! You've done enough!"

"Detective Jiang, you are already great!"

"Ah..." Listening to everyone's consolation, Jiang Ke'er sighed softly and wiped her eyes, "Sorry, I lost my composure. As a constable, I showed such a weak side... How can I deter the villains like this? I won't say any more. Go and compete."

Jiang Ke'er smiled and watched the six people go away. Seeing the six people's renewed hope, she couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face, which made the people around her feel warm in their hearts. They really loved this constable.

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people who can still stand at the gambling table and continue fighting.

Apart from Jiang Keer, there are only the last three left.

And accompanied by an unwilling curse, the last two masters were left confronting each other.

Finally, it’s the crucial last moment.

Jiang Ke'er took a deep breath and jumped off the gambling table.

She did not walk directly towards the two of them, but first spoke to the eliminated contestants: "Everyone, I understand that you are very unwilling to be eliminated, but this duel has been as fair as possible... If you originally had other plans and ended up in this situation, I can only say that I am incompetent and failed to catch the evil thief."

Jiang Ke'er said this and bowed sincerely to the contestants.

"How can I blame you? It was clearly that evil thief's fault!"

"Once we find out his identity, we will tear him into pieces!"

Obviously, no one thought that Jiang Keer was at fault for this situation.

Jiang Ke'er raised her hand, asking everyone to be quiet, and then said, "In order to prevent thieves from staying in the casino, pretending to be eliminated, and taking advantage of the situation... I suggest that those who don't have chips retreat for the time being, retreat outside the casino door, and declare that they have given up."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately did as they were told.

Jiang Ke'er's authority is beyond doubt, and now they just want to catch the hateful thief as soon as possible.

Jiang Keer walked between the last two remaining contestants.

At this moment, the two were looking at each other with cold expressions, both of them were tense and ready to attack at any time - they knew very well that they were not thieves, so the one opposite them must be a thief.

What they have to do now is to try their best to prove their innocence - of course, in their opinion, the thief on the other side will definitely do the same.

However, Jiang Ke'er pushed them away.

"Don't rush into a fight. There are still two possibilities."

The two looked at Jiang Ke'er in surprise.

"One possibility is that the thief is hiding between the two of you. If that's the case... then this thief is extremely bold! He must be absolutely sure that he can prove his innocence! So it will be difficult for you to argue about who is better."

After hearing Jiang Keer's analysis, they both nodded in agreement.

"Another possibility, which is also a greater possibility... is that the thief knew that it was impossible to do anything, and he had already withdrawn from the scene!" Jiang Ke'er turned and looked outside the scene. "In this case, no matter how you fight, both the good guys will suffer. The thief is actually standing outside the scene right now, waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves."

Jiang Ke'er said, her eyes turned cold, and she said sternly: "I suggest that we arrest all 17 people outside the door immediately! Wait until the game is over, and then interrogate them one by one!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was dead silence outside the venue.

Everyone felt a chill down their spine and looked at the people around them with suspicion.

At this critical moment, something strange happened!
