Gotham Dark Godfather

After Harvey Dent finished speaking, he took out a coin from his pocket. It could be seen that it had been wiped frequently, so that the surface still exuded a silver light. !

"This is a Queen Victoria silver coin, a coin issued by the British East India Company in India in 1840! It was a souvenir left to me by my father." Harvey Dent showed this coin to Zhou Hao with a nostalgic expression on his face. The coin has a particularly clear image of Queen Victoria on the side.

Zhou Hao didn't speak, just quietly waiting for what Harvey Dent would say next.

"There is no more fair emperor in the world, so what you have to do next is——" Harvey Dent tossed the coin up gracefully, and then when it slowly fell, he caught it like a flash of lightning. In the palm of my hand, I looked at the people present with a smile.

"Guess the coin!"

Seeing this scene, honest man Gordon couldn't bear it at first. He stood up and complained: "Harvey, what do you mean? You actually choose to use this method for such a major matter? What a child's play!"

Harvey Dent seemed to have known this reaction, and said calmly: "Dear Jim, this is actually the fairest way. No matter what you choose, there is a 50.00% chance. There is no possibility of going through the back door, and there is no gift or bribery. With the opportunity, everything will be answered somewhere!"

Zhou Hao still didn't speak, but he remembered in his mind that during the Ming Dynasty, Sun Piyang was responsible for selecting officials for the court, but both the eunuch group and the official group kept interfering and asked him to choose people from their respective factions as officials, which gave this guy a headache. So the absurd "drawing of lots" method was invented, which is simply called drawing lots.

Therefore, officials, regardless of whether they are virtuous, stupid, or innocent, all draw lots based on the European emperor and non-chiefs.It does seem absurd now that a major national matter such as the selection of officials should be decided by drawing lots.But in fact, this method creates a relatively fair environment for regulating the battle for scarce resources, which is quite similar to Harvey Dent's coin-guessing method.

Gordon was about to say something now, but he heard Zhou Hao say decisively:

"Obverse! I bet when you open your hand, the pattern revealed on the coin must be the portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse!"

Hearing this, even Harvey Dent was stunned. He originally planned to explain more, but Zhou Hao actually said his choice in the blink of an eye, without any hesitation or anxiety, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes. It seems like seeing the result.

"Do you still need to think about it? Is it a little hasty to announce your choice so quickly?" Harvey Dent said seriously: "If you guess wrong, you will never have the chance to take the search warrant from me. Yes! The current opportunity has already given you the greatest tolerance, and I hope you will think twice before doing so!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao shook his head when he heard this, and said resolutely:

"There is no need. No matter what destiny arranges, I will accept it calmly." Zhou Hao said with a firm look: "And as a policeman, I should naturally choose the side that represents justice. Anyway, I didn't see clearly which side you were grabbing. , simply bet on this!"

Hearing this, Harvey Dent was a little stunned, but a smile still appeared on his lips. He slowly opened his hand, and in the center of his palm was a coin with the Queen of England's face, shining silver in front of everyone.

"Congratulations! My friend, I didn't expect that even the emperor could sense your determination, otherwise it wouldn't be so accurate!" Harvey Dent was also very happy and said with appreciation: "Maybe you have a talent for guessing coins, okay. Come on! Guys, I’m willing to admit defeat and go draft a search warrant!”

After saying that, he stood up quickly, walked to the workshop inside, and rummaged through the cabinets to find the relevant templates.

Seeing Harvey Dent leaving, Chief Gordon, who looked shocked, couldn't help but come over and whispered in Zhou Hao's ear:

"My God, you can even guess this right? How can you have such good luck? Do you have lucky hands made of rabbit paws?"

Zhou Hao lit a cigarette with a smile, glanced at the room where Harvey Dent had left, and replied in a low voice:

"Hmph, do you really think I guessed it? Do you remember what Harvey said about his family just now? He was not rich since he was a child! Then the question is, this Queen Victoria silver coin issued in 1840 is now very expensive on the market. , it is impossible for a collection to appear in a poor family, especially if his father is an alcoholic and his mother is a drug addict. If there is such a family heirloom, it has been exchanged for money long ago. How can it be kept today?"

Chief Gordon was a well-informed veteran police officer. When he heard these words, he suddenly woke up and said in a voice: "Doesn't that mean... this coin is basically a forgery? Well... .A drunkard who frequents bars will usually encounter all kinds of market scams. It is very likely that this coin has the same pattern on both sides... Amazing, Zhou Hao! I didn't expect you to be able to deduce this. ? It seems that the so-called three to ten minutes to solve the case is not a boast!"

Facing Chief Gordon's compliment, Zhou Hao smiled reservedly and said a few words to deal with it.But I know very well in my heart that I have a bullshit reasoning ability. The reason why I can be so pretentious is that in the final analysis, I still know the relationship between the plot and the plot.

In fact, when Harvey was 5 years old, his parents divorced due to financial reasons. Because he did not want their children to interfere with his life, Harvey could only stay with his alcoholic father.But due to the divorce, Harvey's father became even more crazy about alcoholism because he was heartbroken by love.

Every night when Harvey's father came home drunk, he would play a terrible game with Harvey: his father would take out a coin and tell Harvey if the coin was tails.So poor Harvey will be spared a severe beating tonight. If it was heads, Harvey would be beaten for no reason. But Harvey didn't know that his father's coin had heads on both sides, so he was beaten severely. Young Harvey's mind was left with deep scars.

This secret was kept secret until many years later, when college graduate Harvey Dent found the coin from his father's belongings, and he didn't know what his expression was at that time.But then Harvey Dent carried the coin with him and never left it.

But unlike his father's usage, Harvey Dent would play a coin-guessing trick when he met poor people who lacked self-confidence or had no hope, claiming that as long as the toss came up heads, it would indicate a good start.With this trick, Harvey encouraged many people who had lost faith in life...until a tragic night later...This coin witnessed the fall of Harvey Dent!
