"Is there something wrong?" Ristone immediately replied with the air of a master.

Liang Xi said: "Tomorrow is the game..."

"Don't do it."

Liang Xi was dissatisfied: "I haven't said yet."

"Earth, you are the best, I don't do anything." After chatting with Liang Xi last night, I squatted in the pipe for a whole day today.Riston left without looking back: "Goodbye." He has already contacted the helicopter and will leave in a while, right away.

"Goodbye, the second time."

The first time was bye last night, it was cool!

See you for the second time today, so cool!

Liang Xi made a phone call: "Is it the security office? I'm the referee Liang Xi...yes, yes, yes, I want to requisition the helicopter platform..."

Speaking of which, Ristone's angry face protruded from the corner of the stairs, and Liang Xi laughed: "I'm just kidding, it's okay, it's okay." It's a joke, of course, I can't see anyone cooler than myself, the most important thing is not to let myself say something Finish.There are many labels on Liang Xi, one of which is stinginess, and revenge can be reported on the spot.

……

On the last day of the Blood Moon invitation, eleven influential guests and four white guests arrived at the venue on the first floor at 25:[-] a.m. When they saw Liang Xi standing on the stage in a red referee uniform, everyone cursed secretly.Looking at the venue again, as expected, there was that disgusting big turntable.What's even more disgusting is that [-]% of the simple items on today's big turntable have all been cancelled.

Dick gave up the position C to Liang Xi, and Liang Xi took the microphone and said, "Today is the last day of the competition, and the day when the last champion will be born. We, Barabara, after the cutscene, let's explain the rules of the game." Barabara is not Xiami Tu saves trouble, because Liang Xi is too lazy to start.

Liang Xi snapped his fingers: "Open."

The curtain behind Liang Xi slowly opened, and everyone saw three gold bricks like hills.Liang Xi went to the gold brick and picked up a gold brick, which was quite heavy.Liang Xi held up the gold brick and said, "Not one piece here is gold, they are iron, copper and brick." Liang Xi kicked the brick beside the pile of gold bricks.

Liang Xi said: "So no one can know the quantity by weight." He snapped his fingers.

Two staff members came pushing a cart with fifteen medium-sized push-pull suitcases and fifteen pairs of handcuffs.

Liang Xi said: "Everyone can take a box and put gold nuggets in the box at will. Note that only the quantity is counted, not the weight. Gold bricks, iron bricks, or bricks are all 1 unit. It is nine in the morning Nod, the game ends at 15:[-] pm. The rule is very simple, whoever has the median number of gold nuggets among the [-] suitcases wins. Assuming more than one person is the median, they will start a game Overtime, from four to seven. Assuming only two people repeat, then they will win the guest who is heavier than the total weight of the box."

Liang Xi said: "Of course, the process will not be that simple, otherwise everyone would find it boring, right?"

"No." Everyone answered Liang Xi's question head-on, what do you want to do?

Liang Xidang didn't hear: "Today's task is basically impossible to fail. For example, eating a blueberry pie, such as drinking four liters of water, can always be done by eating slowly and drinking slowly. Why do we need these tasks? ?”

A referee pushed the notice board to Liang Xi's side. Liang Xi introduced the above items: "Snatch card: you can snatch gold bricks from any unit of the designated target person. Give card: you can give your unlimited number of gold bricks Designated character. Share card, requiring two to five guests to share their gold bricks equally. There are many more, you can see for yourself later. Please note that the handcuffs are connected to a certain hand and the box. Once they are separated, they will be judged to exit the game. This time Physical confrontation in terms of strength is not allowed in the game, but swearing is allowed, but family members are not allowed to be abused. The game venue is on the first floor."

A guest raised his hand and asked: "What card do I want to tell the referee, and I can get this card after completing the task after spinning the roulette."

Liang Xi replied: "That's right. In addition, each hour, such as between 9:10 and 4:[-], everyone can ask the service desk a question. This question is limited to the following content. What is the ranking of the number of gold bricks for XX guests? , XX guests have a few gold bricks, and they can also ask questions such as their own rankings. No questions will be answered after [-] o'clock."

Guest question: "Can I ask who is in the median?"

Liang Xi replied: "Yes, even if there are several people who are in the median, I will tell you."

Anthony broke the stage below: "Brothers! If you ask a question, you will do the task. If you do the task, others have to do the task. In the end, all the tasks are done, but there is only one place. If you don't ask questions, you don't do the task. , everyone does not ask questions, do not do tasks, there is still only one quota. Why do we ask questions, why do we have to do tasks? These tasks are very abnormal, okay? Ten kilograms of onions sliced, twenty kilograms of apples peeled... ..."

Liang Xi explained: "There are a lot of people on the cruise ship, so we can do something to help the employees. I personally think what this guest said is very correct. As long as everyone is lying down and lying down, it will make me, a game designer, very angry. .Good luck everyone, game on.”

What Anthony is talking about is introversion. If a group of people don't work hard, there are so many places, but if they work hard, there are still so many places.Just like college admissions, you are recruited not because of your enough scores, but because of your ranking. If 1 Einsteins take the high school entrance examination, only 1 Einsteins will go to high school. If 5000 illiterate people take the entrance examination, [-] people must go to high school.

After the game started, the guests lined up to enter the vault, and each had 1 minute to pick gold bricks.At the same time, there were also people who were bad, and just lay down in the hall: I don't want gold bricks anymore.However, everyone saw through everything. These people just wanted to observe others before closing the vault at ten o'clock.There are also some people who plan to ask the median first, and then go into the vault to get the gold bricks.

Everyone has their own ideas, it is already the last match day, and there is only one place left. At this time, there is no alliance, only intrigue.Because Liang Xi was particularly kind and allowed to swear, Liang Xi was scolded the worst. Everyone who entered the vault would give Liang Xi a middle finger.They are all qualified people, no one is Fa Ke, and Xue Te swears all over the place, but they all express their love for Liang Xi with international gestures.

The entrance is in, the exit is out.After exiting the exit, the referee handcuffed the guest and the suitcase together.Dick didn't quite understand this, and asked, "Why do you want to control them with one hand?"

Liang Xi replied in a low voice: "I'm afraid they are really angry, and it will be difficult for the guards to control them in a fight."

Dick asked: "Don't you like watching fights the most?"

Liang Xi said: "The premise is that I am not the one being beaten." In order to prevent the guests from rebelling due to public anger, they cut off one of their hands in advance.

Dick understood that although the nature of refereeing was very bad and the consequences were serious, the referee had already prepared for the worst.Dick asked: "What do you think is the key to this game?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "There are too many variables. I have found that at least one guest did not take any gold bricks. This is a good strategy. Take an empty suitcase and collect mission cards first. But this is the situation I want. As long as there is one If I personally think so, then from now until four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone will do tasks crazily. Because whoever has the most cards is the most likely to win."

The highest state of the volume: the same end.

How did the roll happen?The main reason is insufficient resources, but it can also be divided into objective insufficient resources and subjective insufficient resources.Some people like to eat roast suckling pigs, which means that not all piglets can be killed after they grow up.In order to show fairness, we can let the pigs compete, the strong ones live for half a year, and the weak ones go to the grill immediately.As long as the rules of competition are fair, pigs won't have much of an opinion.

The situation is as Liang Xi expected, no one is really lying down and messing up, everyone is doing tasks like crazy, the purpose is to collect more function cards than others.For half the day, the competition area on the first floor was full of chaos, and some people didn't even have time to eat.The referee Liang Xi not only ate lunch, but also took a nap and had afternoon tea by the way.Looking at the desperate piglets, Liang Xi suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in controlling the fate of others.At this time, he understood a truth. Sometimes being a bad person is not for profit at all, but to bully others just to reflect his sense of class superiority and inner happiness.

From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. is the most critical half hour of the entire game.Everyone returned to the venue and began to use the cards they had hoarded.When you treat others as prey, you may become prey yourself.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the dust settled.The referee unlocked the handcuffs, began to count the gold bricks, and reported a number after counting.This is not a variety show, and there is no need to shake the burden. After the results are hung up, some people know that they have no chance to win, with unwillingness written on their faces, resentment, and even fear in their hearts.

The number of gold bricks among the most promising guests is very close, but there can only be one winner, and no matter how high the others climb, they will be losers just like everyone else.The final winner is the unknown Yuan Hong 16, and now the Red No. 7.This is a steady player. He almost lost all qualifications for the final due to insufficient chips.But in today's final game, he won the championship with 11 gold bricks.

The game came to an end before five o'clock. Surprisingly, most of the powerful guests asked to leave the cruise ship today, and they were not interested in wasting time here.As a result, only a few guests attended the seven o'clock dinner hosted by the Blood Moon Steward tonight.The dinner party was held in the garden on the fifth floor, and a buffet was set up in the restaurant on the first floor to entertain all the staff, including guards and referees, and the female intern housekeeper was in charge of receiving them.There will also be a raffle in the cafeteria, with a first prize of 50 euros for five people.10 second prizes, 10 euros.20 third prizes, each of which can get 1 euros.A cash red envelope worth [-] euros will be presented to everyone.

Blood Moon has always been very generous with money.What's more, in this blood moon invitation, they received 19 times 2 3800 million euros in cash.Why take cash if you don't have money?It's like having to pay a room fee to see a luxury house, not to earn your hundreds of dollars, but to filter customers.Customers who are willing to pay 200 million euros to participate in the blood moon invitation are naturally sincere customers.

……

After the dinner on the fifth floor, Steward Blood Moon invited Liang Xi for a walk, walking from the bridge to the captain's cabin.Originally, Liang Xi thought that the blood moon steward was just nonsense, and explained how much money he helped him earn, and sold favors.But I didn't expect that the first sentence that the blood moon steward said was: "I heard Hannah say that the count knew something about John. When the count talked with her, he mentioned that the count suspected that he killed John."

Liang Xi nodded, waiting for Butler Xueyue to continue.

Butler Xueyue said: "Originally, I can handle this matter. But something happened to the Earl recently, and he has been recuperating abroad. I will contact you when the situation improves."

Liang Xi could only nod his head.The two looked at the sea in silence for a while, and the blood moon steward pointed to the sea and said: "Sparkling. My first thought when I saw this scene was that the sea would shine. The fact is that the moonlight shines on the sea. Think about it in a deeper level. Think, is it really moonlight? Does the moon shine? No, it just reflects the light of the sun. Many people see a thing and think it is true, some people will believe the facts they analyze, and they may not be the truth."

Liang Xi seemed to understand but not understand.Taking Blood Moon Steward as an example, people think that the sea glows is very naive. Many people's thinking stays on the moonlight, but the sun is the reason why the sea shines.It's very ugly, but Liang Xi understands that this is just a wedge arranged by the blood moon steward for what he wants to say.

The blood moon steward asked a question: "From your point of view, is it a good thing for Hannah to control the blood moon?"

Liang Xi replied: "It doesn't seem to be a good thing for anyone to control Blood Moon." Is it a good thing for Elder Blood Moon to control?You have done a lot of crimes, but you can't find evidence of your crimes.

Blood Moon Steward said: "You didn't answer my question directly."

Liang Xidao: "I have never understood what the core of the Blood Moon system is. Several elders control an organization? They elect a CEO to manage Blood Moon? Conversely, can the CEO directly control Blood Moon?"

The blood moon steward laughed: "You have found it. You have found that the moon does not shine by itself, but you have not found the sun. Blood moon does many illegal things, and the simplest business of buying and selling information is not allowed by the laws of various countries. If only With a small team, he only needs a few rules. An organization like Blood Moon needs a systematic management."

Blood Moon Butler said: "For example, a Blood Moon deacon bought a piece of information that is very important to A. If there is no systematic management, he can not send this information to the intelligence database, but resell it to A or A's Opponents. Many criminal groups usually use terrorist methods to treat the behavior of Blood Moon Deacon. Find a traitor and kill him with the cruelest punishment to warn others."

Liang Xidao: "In ancient China, there was an emperor named Zhu Yuanzhang. He hated corrupt officials very much. He even skinned corrupt officials alive in front of hundreds of officials to warn officials to be a clean and honest official. It was actually useless. Corrupt officials are killing more and more. I think that only when officials know that they will be discovered and punished for doing bad things, they will not do bad things.”

Blood Moon Butler said: "That's right, this is the systematic management I'm talking about. The core of systematic management, that is, the core of Blood Moon is a computer Internet system. This system is hidden deep in the network, and the port is controlled by several people. The elders control it. It can be said that with the consent of the majority of the elders, all the affairs of Blood Moon can be stopped. Do you know the deep sea?"

"Well. The first hacker is said to be dead."

"That's right, it's a pity. Deep Sea is the system designer, and has been responsible for the upgrade and maintenance work for more than ten years. Of course, Blood Moon has its own technical team responsible for the operation of the system." Blood Moon Steward said: "This It is the core of Blood Moon. Strictly speaking, we have established a vegetable market under our supervision. People with intelligence can go to the vegetable market to sell, and we will give a suitable price to encourage more people to enter. At the same time, there are People who specialize in selling vegetables, they contact customers directly, or customers go to the vegetable market to express their needs."

Liang Xi nodded: "It means that Hannah has obtained the right to switch the market?"

The blood moon steward did not answer yes or no, but asked: "Assuming that Hannah gets the right to switch the market, with her personality, will she develop the blood moon, make the blood moon completely on track, or will she drain the blood of the blood moon?"

Liang Xi was taken aback: "Well, is this asking the wrong person?"

Steward Xueyue shook his head, feeling a little helpless: "You may be the only person I can ask right now."

Liang Xi was even more puzzled, what did you mean by saying so much to me earlier?Well, it makes sense for you to explain that I'm the only one who can ask.But why do you, a housekeeper, worry about these things?

However, the blood moon steward asked a question, and Liang Xi replied: "I am not an economist or a sociologist, but I know that there is such a phenomenon. A company with a century-old brand has very good products and a very good reputation. This company is doing well. Make it bigger and go public. After the listing, the company is no longer customer-oriented, but making money. The reason is that after the listing, the boss’s right to speak is reduced. Shareholders who invest in this company do not care about the company’s reputation and reputation. They need What they want is money, benefits, and returns. If the boss’s goal is to make money, I think it can go public. If the boss’s goal is business, I think it’s best not to hand over the management of the company to outsiders. Especially investors, they only talk about Benefits, will not understand the century-old brand, and do not want to understand the meaning of passing on through the ages."

"That makes sense, thank you." Steward Blood Moon seemed to be in a very difficult position. He quietly looked at the sea and did not speak for a long time.I don't know how long it took, but the blood moon steward said: "The night wind is cold, let's go back."

Liang Xi could feel the helplessness and helplessness in the words of the steward Xueyue. He didn't ask the cause and effect, and he didn't ask more questions, because this level of question was not what he should know.From Liang Xi's point of view, there is not much difference between the Blood Moon run by Elder Blood Moon and the Blood Moon run by Hannah.

5 Chapter Eighty

I haven't seen him for a week, and Liang Xi feels very cordial when he hovers over London and overlooks the city in a helicopter.According to the law, people entering the UK from abroad, including helicopter passengers, must land at airports and other places.After getting off the helicopter, Liang Xi shook hands with the other four guests, exchanged greetings, and said goodbye, while he got into the one-eyed car.The drivers who came to pick up Liang Xi today were Juliet and Cyclops.Juliet has MI6 background, the two came to pick her up, Liang Xi already guessed that they were going to talk about something not legal.

House and others walked to the customs entry area, watched off the pick-up vehicle and left directly through the main entrance.Anthony sincerely grieved and said, "Fatty man, do you want to compensate me a little more?" Originally, he got quite a lot, but compared to Liang Xi's huge profits from this blood moon invitation, it is really a loss.Not only do you earn less, but you are also restricted everywhere, and you don't have fun playing.

House was very sorry: "Sorry, sorry, I also panicked."

Chris said: "It is said that Hannah is very generous, and she can get some compensation."

House paused, with a delicate expression, and said: "Brothers, I never said that I was working for Hannah. In fact, I don't know who I am working for."

Anthony was quite surprised: "If it's Hannah, she won't hide it. Either you are lying, or there are other people who are interested in Blood Moon besides Hannah."

House spread his hands: "I don't like to pursue the truth. The more I know, the faster I die. I will seek some compensation from my employer."

Chris looked at the silent Fanny in doubt: "Isn't it Hannah?" Knowing that he asked wrongly, he added: "Aren't you working for Hannah?" Looking at House, House said that Fanny might be Hannah. Na's ally.

Fanny replied indifferently: "Maybe, maybe not. Why is Liang Xi so anxious? Does One Eye have anything to do with him?" She decisively changed the subject.

So far, not many know that Petain is involved in terrorism, and House and the others also have doubts about the one-eyed attack.But this is a matter of Liang Xi's life and work, and has nothing to do with them. They are not easy to inquire and ask.

"Ghost knows, I'm too lazy to care about their judiciary." House said: "To thank you for your support, I'll make arrangements today to treat guests to dinner and entertainment." House also changed the topic, not wanting to change the topic of Fanny have a discussion.

……

While driving in the back seat of the car, Duoyan threw a folder to Liang Xi and said: "On the night of Petain's arrest, MI6 secretly sneaked into his six real estate properties in France, Norway, and Spain to conduct a comprehensive search, basically all of them were related to his business and The family is related, and there is no terrorist attack information. A group of people made a major discovery of a yacht moored on the Seine River in Petain. This yacht can basically be said to be the main living area of ​​​​Pétain’s terrorist characters. Many old things from the Holy Banner Society were found. There is a related plan to attack London before and information about being arrested and killed in London. At present, it is certain that Petain is definitely a terrorist executive."

Duyan said: "Analyzed by the technicians, Petain communicated with the outside world through a satellite encrypted phone, and rented a Russian communication encrypted satellite. It is basically impossible to trace the identity of the outside world. Through the analysis of the monitoring near the pier, before the terrorist attack in London, a From January to the end of the terrorist attack, Petain went to the yacht alone almost every day, and the stay time ranged from half an hour to three hours."

Liang Xi asked, "A month ago?"

One-eyed nods.

Liang Xi said: "This means that Pétain is an implementer, not a planner. Taking the stadium terrorist attack as an example, the planner needs several months of preparation time. The people around Pétain, except Zall The rest are all executives. Zall is a bright-faced investigator, and strictly speaking, he is also a figure in the execution system."

It is not easy to plan an attack.Taking the most direct and simple marathon roadside bombing case as an example, it first requires a lot of information, traffic information, police station location, security level, marathon route, etc.In terms of traffic intelligence, it is a big project, distinguishing the traffic flow in each time period, regional holiday traffic conditions, patrol car location and police dispatch speed, etc. Otherwise, it is easy to encounter traffic jams on the way to transport bombs and cause delays.The second is the level of security. For example, there have been many subway terrorist attacks in Europe in the past 20 years. How can bombs pass the security check?Is there a security check?Is it manual inspection or mechanical inspection?Are police patrols intensive?After all, suicides carrying bombs are novices, and they tend to get nervous when they see the police.Is the police attitude vigilant or relaxed?How relaxed are some cops at work?For example, in several Nordic countries, the daily patrol work of the police is to help the old lady cross the road, while the American patrol police are always on alert, and they may have to draw out their guns to empty their magazines at any time.

Secondly, there is the purchase of materials, what channels are safe, and how to ensure safety.and many more.

There are many things involved in planning an attack.After the planning is completed, the planner can hand over the plan to Petain, and Petain starts to deploy according to the personnel and resources in his hands.Petain communicated to and from the yacht during the attack, indicating that they had been conferring on plans and actions.On the bright side, their management is out of touch, and it is difficult for the planner's intentions to be directly communicated to the executors.On the downside, they are extremely confidential, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of arresting and planning terrorism by arresting and executing terrorism.

Liang Xi concluded: "You have said so much, which means that it is difficult to pry Bella's mouth open."

"Yes!" Cyclops felt helpless: "Although we obtained evidence of Pétain's involvement in terrorism, it was carried out without notifying the French authorities. It was a secret operation of MI6. Such things cannot be put on the table, and Pétain and Some figures in the French political arena have contacts, which can easily lead to sprained feet. After all, in the eyes of the French, no matter how bad Petain is, he cannot allow the British to work in France. Five days ago, we contacted the French judiciary through formal channels Department, and guess what? The yacht caught fire and sank in the marina."

One-eyed said this, annoyed: "French men don't dare to get married, they can't even check their identity. But it's good news, the French don't know that we have obtained all the information from the yacht."

Liang Xi asked, "What do you think?"

One-eyed said: "Now it seems that Petain can only be charged with burglary. Petain's lawyer pleaded guilty and guessed that the final result will be 12 to 24 months in prison and then deported. I can arrange for her to spend as much time in prison as possible. .Give!"

Liang Xi took the note, with a set of numbers on it and Mr. Rabbit written on the bottom.

One-eyed said: "A phone call from a beautiful woman, 35 years old, the sister of the boss of the Nigerian Lun Gang. She was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing her husband, her husband's lover and their twin daughters. She is currently serving her sentence in a women's prison. She is known as the female butcher. .We can arrange for two undercover agents to go to prison."

Liang Xi said, "Let me hire her?"

One-eyed said: "Because of my status, and many people care about me. I can only send Petain to a women's prison, and I can't do anything out of line."

Liang Xi asked, "What benefits can I give this female butcher?"

One-eyed: "Money! Allow the female butcher to extract a confession from Petain, and the matter can be settled within three days."

Liang Xi guessed that Cyclops wanted him to do some bad things, so he half-joked with Karin that Cyclops needed to be a beast in clothes.Liang Xi didn't express his opinion immediately, but said, "This isn't the only information, is it?"

One-eyed replied: "You don't seem to like complicated information, so I will simplify the process as much as possible and give you the result."

Liang Xi said, "Can you show me all the information?"

One-eyed smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your personality?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "No, no, I just can't do some things, and I happen to be good at some things. I think there is no shortcut to success, and I should do what I am good at."

One-eyed Oh said: "I thought you cared about Petain."

Liang Xi replied: "Yesterday someone talked to me about the moon. He said that the sparkling light on the sea is actually moonlight."

One-eyed Oh said: "Is it strange?"

Liang Xi said: "He said that the moon does not shine. The reason why the moon shines is because it reflects the sun's light."

One Eye didn't understand: "Oh?"

Liang Xidao: "But many people will only say that the light on the sea comes from the moon, not the sun. Just like when I rent a house from an intermediary, what I rent is the landlord's house, not the intermediary's house. According to this idea, we should say The sun shines on the sea. Of course, there is no right or wrong, but everyone's thoughts and thinking are different."

Cyclops still didn't understand: "Don't beat around the bush, just say what you mean?"

Liang Xi felt that it would be better to beat around the bush, and continued: "Lu Xun once wrote an essay, Bringing-in doctrine. He expounded two doctrines, one is bringing-in doctrine, and the other is sending-in doctrine. Simply put, sending-in doctrine is Others take the initiative to give, and take-itism is to get what you want. I like him very much, so I support take-itism, I don’t need others to give me things, I prefer to get things by myself.”

Cyclops finally understood that Liang Xi was dissatisfied with his arrangement and even opposed it.From the investigation process to the results, from the strategy to the plan to deal with Petain, Duoyan took care of it all by himself, and he needed Liang Xi to come forward to do this.Liang Xi's attitude is that I don't need what you gave me, including your simplified investigation materials and your methods.On the contrary, Liang Xi prefers to send out doctrines, I will investigate, I will find a way, and then you will do bad things with one eye.

One-eyed smile, before being imprisoned, one-eyed didn't have much contact with Liang Xi, and after being imprisoned, he had very little contact.Maybe it's grown up, maybe it's Liang Xi's character, anyway, Cyclops finds that Liang Xi is a difficult person to control and handle.

One-eyed said: "Why don't you think about a problem first, why do I need you to do this kind of thing, instead of just finding someone to do it?"

Liang Xi replied: "It's hard to figure it out, I believe you have your reasons, but it is definitely not for my benefit."

Cyclops was noncommittal, thought for a while and said, "We accidentally discovered that someone pays close attention to your information, but we don't know who it is."
