Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

So, when Alexei was wondering why the special receptionist hadn't gone yet, the special receptionist met Alexei's gaze and hurriedly explained:

“Ms. Yana said before that she prepared a question in order to prevent others from using fake autographed photos to deceive her.

Only the autographed photo held by the person who answered the question is real. "

How come that stupid spoiled woman is so smart now?

Alexey thought about it and asked:

"what is the problem?"

"It is the exact location where Miss Yana and Sharon Wynyard met."

"Isn't it a cruise ship? She didn't say where exactly?"

Alexei thought for a moment and asked.

The special receptionist shook his head.

“Ms. Yana didn’t say which cruise ship it was, nor did she mention which country it was from.

All we know is that the meeting time was on the last night of last year.

As a commemoration, Ms. Yana left the meeting place on the back of the autographed photo.

Only the person who picked up the photo would know this.”

Hearing this, Alexei's brows immediately frowned.

He could see that Vasily was not interested in the matter.

The news was revealed to him because of his good attitude, his initiative to help find his fiancée's lost autographed photo, and his blessings for his upcoming marriage.

If you want to attract people and make them your helper, you will have a chance to proceed to the next step only if you find that autographed photo.

Think about the certificate that was stolen by the crow, and then think about Yefrosinia who was watching the fun on the sidelines, and those other competitors who had unclear intentions.

And there was Jia Ke who suddenly came in.

Alexei was determined to make Vasily his ally.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Use all channels to spread the news of the search for the autographed photo. Act both openly and covertly.

Let the whole of Vladivostok know about this.

Also, send someone to follow Vasily and his fiancée 24 hours a day to confirm their residence and the identities of those who enter and leave their residence."

"Work hard, and get these two things done. Then you won't have to do this kind of special reception for people anymore."

Alexei patted the special receptionist on the shoulder. He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning of promotion and salary increase was obvious.

The special receptionist who was given an important position immediately bowed his head to show his loyalty:

"Yes, I will definitely not let you down."

Alexei smiled with satisfaction, but his eyes hid deep irritability.

After the special receptionist went out to work enthusiastically, Alexi turned back to the VIP lounge and first drove out everyone else inside, leaving only two personal bodyguards.

Then he took out his cell phone with a cold face and started making a call.

Here

Karasuma Soshin and Vermouth took the elevator back to the first floor of the casino.

At this moment, the gambling area on the first floor is still bustling as usual, with gamblers either stopping to watch or participating in the gambling themselves.

The dealers stood behind their respective gambling tables, welcoming round after round of gamblers, both new and familiar faces.

Uniformed receptionists walked around carrying trays of drinks or chips.

The mountain of chips piled high on the chip plate attracted countless people's attention.

But if you really look closely, you will find that most of the gamblers who had scrambled for chips before are not among them.

Those gamblers who had just grabbed the chips and thought they had made a fortune had not yet warmed up their chips.

They were caught one by one by a group of burly and strong casino security guards under the command of the casino monitoring personnel.

Then he was taken to the chip exchange counter.

These gamblers were ordered to pay double the money to the casino for any chips they took that did not belong to them.

Gamblers who can afford the compensation can leave or choose to continue staying in the casino for fun.

Gamblers who cannot pay out also have two choices.

One is to use assets, property, or family members to pay off debts.

Of course, the value of the latter depends mainly on whether the child is young and beautiful, whether he is healthy, and whether his internal organs are compatible.

The second is to sign the loan contract given by the casino.

If you fail to pay back the money within the specified period, you will have to repeat the previous process.

The gamblers who won less were terrified, and most of them chose to leave in a hurry after losing their money. However, some brave enough to watch the fun chose to stay.

But those gamblers who picked up more were not so lucky.

Most of these cannot be compensated.

If it weren't for greed and the fact that he wasn't that rich, he wouldn't have squatted on the ground in such an ugly manner and frantically grabbed the chips.

It is difficult to pay the original amount, let alone double the amount.

Some gamblers were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and went straight for the gold-blue chips with the largest face value, worth two million.

I was so excited when I grabbed it.

When it comes to paying compensation, he cries bitterly and looks miserable with endless regret.

In this case, even if you sacrifice your entire family, you may not be able to pay the compensation, let alone use your assets and property.

Of course, casinos have their own ways, and experienced debt collectors will always squeeze the maximum value out of these people.

As for the situation where you only took one portion but have to pay double.

Although it doesn't sound very fair.

But even if the gamblers report this to the local police station, the local police will not accept the case.

All casinos in Vladivostok’s gambling district are required to pay taxes. Anyone who dares to open a casino here must have someone behind the scenes.

In order to collect the huge amount of tax every month, not only the local police station, but even the local government often turns a blind eye.

Without some connections, how could you possibly run a casino here peacefully?

Who wouldn't want to do a business that makes a lot of money?

Everyone knows that this line of work is very complicated.

Although they appear to be legal on the surface, there are always some illegal means used to deal with those rivals who are causing trouble, those who do not follow the rules, and those gamblers who do not pay their debts.

The Crystal Palace's practice of paying twice as much as a stolen item is considered merciful in this gambling district.

Some casinos, if they catch someone stealing or cheating, will not just let him off by paying double the amount.

But in fact, the Crystal Palace only looks kinder on the surface.

The Crystal Palace, which has a complete monitoring and security system, can actually stop it at the first opportunity.

But the Crystal Palace security guards had to appear after the gamblers had grabbed their chips.

The purpose is to indulge the greed of these gamblers and obtain the greatest profit.

Develop a plan to steal one and pay two.

It is not only to gain a good reputation, but also to prevent gamblers from becoming desperate because of excessive compensation.

Do a long-term business.

After all, this is not their main business.

If you really encounter a situation where you cannot compensate, there are naturally other ways to deal with it.

Of course, these things are not within the scope of concern of Karasuma Soshin and Vermouth.

Even though all this was within the two's calculations from the very beginning.

This time, no one stopped Karasuma Soshin and Vermouth from leaving.

The two walked out of the Crystal Palace smoothly, and Artem, the doorman who had just welcomed a guest, immediately noticed the two people with outstanding looks.

He hurriedly came over and greeted the person cordially, and escorted him out.

Seeing that the doorman was good-looking and his service attitude satisfied her, Vermouth took out a stack of rubles from her bag and handed it over.

Artem was delighted to receive such a generous reward.

Seeing that Vermouth and Karasuma Soshin didn't seem to be leaving immediately, he immediately introduced some other scenic spots around there that were worth visiting.

Afterwards, Karasuma Soshin and Vermouth actually followed the scenery introduced by Artem and took a good stroll around the surrounding area.

We also had dinner at a specialty seafood restaurant introduced by Artem.

Only when night fell did they return to their temporary residence.

The person in charge of tracking followed the two people from the moment they walked out of the crystal palace, and only when he saw Karasuma Soshin and Vermouth enter the house with his own eyes did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Sent the address to the superior.

inside the door,

As soon as the door closed, Karasuma Soshin shook off Vermouth's hand, which he had been holding for most of the day, and distanced himself from Vermouth.

The whole person suppresses all emotions from the inside out.

"The room upstairs on the right is yours."

After saying that, he walked straight to the master bedroom upstairs, leaving Vermouth aside.

Vermouth was not surprised by this.

Seeing Karasuma Soshin's figure disappear at the stairs, she also walked up the stairs with her bag, shawl and coat, and walked towards the room that Karasuma Soshin mentioned.

Pushing open the door, there was a newly decorated room inside.

The decoration and furnishings in the room are very feminine, and it is obvious that it is suitable for women to live in.

Belmodei looked around, picked out a bathrobe from the closet and walked into the bathroom.

After returning to the master bedroom, Karasuma Soshin also went into the bathroom first.

But he didn't come out wearing only a bathrobe like Vermouth did.

Instead, she was wearing a set of casual pajamas.

After walking out of the bathroom, he had no intention of going out to see Vermouth again and talk to her about serious matters.

Mainly because he has revealed everything that needs to be revealed.

As for the rest, I'll have to wait until I find the vodka.

Secondly, he had other things to do.

It’s the end of the year and every company likes to hold meetings.

Some of it is out of form, and some of it is out of necessity.

As a top chaebol, the Karasuma Group has branches in many countries, subsidiaries, and holding companies behind the scenes, which can be said to be flourishing.

At the end of the year, it is natural to hold a meeting.

This year's summary, next year's plan, whether it is a promotion or a demotion after a year of hard work, a reward or a punishment...

At the end of the year, a wide variety of conference projects pop up one after another like the green vegetables in the field.

As the only heir of the Karasuma Group currently established by the person in power, Karasuma Renya, Karasuma Soshin naturally could not escape the meeting.

In the past, the heir to the Karasuma Group was just a vague but unconfirmed rumor.

It is still unclear whether it is true or false.

Naturally, something like a meeting would not happen to Whiskey, who was not even Karasuma Sounobu.

But this year, he was first brought by Karasuma Renya to appear in the upper social circle, confirming his identity as the adopted heir.

After that, I gradually became familiar with the operation of the foundation and attended various meetings online.

When it came time to process the foundation's documents, signatures representing the heirs' identities gradually appeared on some important project reports.

The entire Karasuma Group is aware that their future boss is gradually taking over the company's affairs.

It won’t be long before the word “future” will be removed.

Therefore, since the beginning of December, even after returning to Ying Country, Karasuma Soshin has been attending various meetings online in the core experimental area of ​​his base.

When Lanpola and others saw that Karasuma Soshin always wore headphones on his ears, they thought that Karasuma Soshin had developed a habit of listening to music while doing research and development.

One by one, whenever they got the chance, they would recommend songs that they thought were suitable to Karasuma Soshin.

In addition to attending meetings online, there is also the processing of various documents and materials.

The relevant learning process was not interrupted because he returned to Ying Country.

During that period, there was a constant call from Karasuma Renya every Monday asking questions and answering questions.

A big meeting is held for small matters, and a small meeting is held for big matters.

Just like the more important a person is, the more likely he or she will appear last.

The more important the Karasuma Group's meetings are, the more likely they are to be held near the end of the year.

As the heir to the Karasuma Group, Karasuma Soshin has many privileges.

When it comes to meetings, the privilege he usually uses is to participate online, and he often cuts off or freezes the video screen on his side.

Have the participants on the other side speak to a black or white projection screen.

If he had to do something during the day like now, or if there was an emergency that needed to be dealt with, he would use another privilege.

Change the meeting time.

So it finally became that now at around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Karasuma Soshin still has to attend the online meeting.

Mini-theater 1: Main World Card-drawing Movie-Gin's Weakness (Part 8)

Everyone was looking forward to what was to come, but the next second, the picture on the screen gradually dimmed.

[The first segment has been played. After a ten-minute break, the second segment will be played.]

After hearing the broadcast from the external consciousness, the red and black teams, no matter how anxious they were, had to patiently wait for these 10 minutes.

What followed were various discussions from the red, black and white factions.

On the black side,

Vodka, who had not dared to say anything before, was now shaking like a little rooster, extremely proud, and his voice unconsciously became louder:

"Look, I told you that Big Brother wouldn't betray the organization, but that police officer said he wanted to help Big Brother."

Vodka naturally ignored Yueyawan's previous evaluation of the organization.

Just thinking about how his eldest brother was going to leave all his inheritance to Edogawa Yuega, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

It would be bad enough if she despised him, but she even dared to despise big brother's favorite car. What a tasteless guy.

Rum and Vermouth, who were sitting not far away, and Karasuma Renye and Champagne, who were sitting in the white seats, all took a deep look at where Yueyamaru was.

The reason why Gin was able to survive in such a life-threatening situation was because of the policeman’s help behind the scenes.

To be able to save Gin under such circumstances, Edogawa Getsuga must be no simple person.

Also, is it an exaggeration to be able to see through all of Gin's plans with just one glance, or does this person really have top-notch reasoning abilities like reading minds?

Yueyawan noticed this gaze and did not react at all.

Anyway, that damn alien consciousness will definitely broadcast those things next.

The main reason is that there are a bunch of chattering people around him now.

The first one is Conan.

"Edogawa Getsuga, this name is a pseudonym, right? How could there be someone named Edogawa Getsuga?"

Which man would choose Crescent Moon as his name?

Upon hearing this, Yueyawan instantly became unhappy.

He turned his head and looked at Conan through Amuro Toru, his eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of displeasure:

"What a fake name! Why can't I call myself this?

Just give yourself a pseudonym that only a fool can't figure out, Edogawa Conan, and don't drag me into it.

My last name is Edogawa because my mother's last name was Edogawa before she got married. I hated my original last name, so I changed it to my mother's.

I have a legitimate household registration and relevant documents, unlike you who are an illegal immigrant and have to sneak across the border to even board a plane."
