The benefit of conversing with intelligent people is that once a consensus on cooperation is reached, you don't have to worry about them prying for details.
It was clear that Xu Peiyu knew I was joking and that I had ulterior motives for wanting to see Yun Jin.
However, not only did she not expose me, but she also went along with my words and directly reached a consensus on cooperation.
Being able to cooperate with a perfect partner like Xu Peiyu, without revealing my identity or purpose, was something I had always dreamed of.
With that, after reaching a consensus, I withdrew first.
Calculating the time, the people in room C4 should soon be asking for more tea and cigarettes.
With this in mind, I went to the bar, brewed a full pot of tea, and took two packs of Heiliqun, according to the guests' previous preferences, and headed to room C4.
While refilling tea, pouring tea, and lighting cigarettes, I took a general look at the table...
Room C4 was playing "Lun Zhuang Niu Niu" (a card game, literally "rotating banker Bull Bull"), with a total of six people, including the cheat.
Although I wasn't sure about the betting limits for the banker and the maximum bet when not the banker in their "Lun Zhuang Niu Niu" game.
But seeing that their bets almost always started at a hundred yuan, with one person even betting a thousand yuan, I immediately judged that...
If the night went on, the winnings and losses of each person at this table would likely not be less than fifty thousand yuan!
Compared to other provinces, Zhejiang Province basically has no overly poor or backward cities.
And Xingjia itself has many wealthy people, so while they play big, they naturally gamble big!
No wonder the young man came here to make money, it was truly a rhythm of "one opening lasts for three years and is enough to eat"!
However, as the sole winner on the scene so far, the young man didn't seem very happy.
Even though the hand I saw happened to be the young man's turn to be the banker, and he had won.
But when collecting money, I didn't see any excited or thrilled expressions on his face.
Due to limited time, I didn't continue to pay attention to the young man's expression, but instead shifted my gaze directly to his hands.
The best way to catch a cheat is to first observe their technique and then directly find the flaws.
Just now, when the young man was arranging and shuffling the cards, my eyes had been secretly watching his hands.
One of the movements had already been etched into my memory.
Palm card!
Palm card, as the name suggests, is a type of card-stealing technique.
The method of stealing cards depends on the situation.
When stealing cards during shuffling, this technique is called palm card.
Compared to other card-stealing techniques, palm card has the highest success rate and the lowest probability of being discovered.
Palm card should not be done too often; 1-3 cards are best.
Any more, if your palm is not thick enough, once the cards fall... that's another story!
I specifically checked, and the young man stole two cards during the shuffling.
If I remember correctly, it should be a King of Spades and a Ten of Diamonds.
The reason I remembered so clearly was that every move the young man made was within my line of sight!
As soon as the other party was slowly arranging and shuffling the cards, I had already taken the opportunity to memorize the order of all the cards.
To be honest, the order of all the cards to be dealt from now on was basically clear to me.
In this hand, the King and Ten that the young man had stolen and hidden in advance would play a big role!
After the cut and after everyone had placed their bets, the young man began to deal the cards.
It wasn't until the betting moment that I understood the betting situation of their "Lun Zhuang Niu Niu."
It turned out to be semi-open limit betting!
Semi-open limit betting means that the minimum and maximum bet and banker limits are agreed upon in advance, and then the bets are increased based on the situation of the game!
To put it plainly, when there's no significant win or loss, everyone plays according to the previously established rules.
Later, as long as someone loses too much and gets anxious, they will double their bets and play recklessly!
Of course, semi-open limit betting is still a certain distance from games where property deeds are directly gambled.
However, if someone really loses their mind, the semi-open limit betting game might not be predictable in the end!
Take this round for example, the person who bet the least only wagered the minimum limit amount: 100 yuan.
And the person who bet the most directly wagered 1000!
Don't forget, the young man was the banker in this round.
If he managed a "five small bulls" hand... then the person who bet 1000 would lose ten times, which is ten thousand yuan.
Losing ten thousand in one hand, who could stand it? They would definitely lose their composure and play erratically.
Fortunately, the two cards the young man had stolen and hidden were both high cards of 10 or above, resulting in at most a "silver bull," a fourfold payout.
Ten thousand turned into four thousand, and the result wasn't too bad.
As expected, after revealing the cards, the King of Spades and Ten of Diamonds that the young man had stolen and hidden appeared among the five cards in front of him.
10, 10, J, Q, K, a fourfold silver bull.
I only glanced at the other people's cards and didn't look further.
Firstly, because I had already figured out the young man's complete cheating method, there was no need to keep watching.
Secondly, I had already stayed in the private room for a long enough time. If I continued to linger, it wouldn't matter if others suspected me of freeloading.
But if that young man became alert or suspicious, all my efforts would be in vain.
Cheats who play in these kinds of games, although their skill level isn't great, their awareness of prevention is truly in place.
They have a feeling of being on edge, as if every bush and tree is an enemy.
As soon as they sense anything is slightly amiss, they will immediately stop.
So, after symbolically topping up everyone's teacups, I exited the private room.
The moment I stepped out of the room, I sent a message to Xu Peiyu, reporting all the situations I had seen in the room after a clever embellishment.
I only said that while offering cigarettes and lighting them for the young man, I inadvertently saw a trace of playing cards peeking out from between his fingers.
In addition, I also instructed Xu Peiyu that it would be best to wait until the young man started to be the banker before bringing people in to catch him red-handed.
Xu Peiyu's reply was: Okay.
Just as I was about to put my phone back in my pocket, she sent another text message.
"You... are a cheat, aren't you?"
Honestly, when I saw this message, my heart was unmoved.
The reason for this was that as soon as I decided to help Xu Peiyu catch the cheat, I had already anticipated that my identity would be exposed.
As the saying goes: once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern.
The first time I helped Xu Peiyu win money, she might have thought it was my luck.
The second time I helped Yun Luo catch the internal spy cheating at mahjong could also be attributed to coincidence and meticulousness.
But the third time, with Xu Peiyu having already stated that the young man was a cheat, and I could still help her find evidence of his cheating, it was obvious that it was definitely not luck or coincidence.
Therefore, it was very normal for her to guess.
