Tiger Police

Chapter 599 Lottery
"If you want to change now, without two or three million, it is impossible to demolish his house."

Xing Le couldn't help hearing this: "I remember that the villages in the city near the Yuema Temple were the first batch, and they seemed to be demolished more than ten years ago, right? After they were demolished, the subway was dug, and the station was still the year before last. It was just established. Could it be the same as it is now more than ten years ago? The 50 at that time, not to mention the 200 million now, is probably more than doubled.”

Liu Xiang nodded in agreement: "The people nearby said the same thing. They all said that the 50 yuan given to him for the demolition back then was already a conscience price. If you want to blame it, you can blame Chen Ming himself. After spending all the money, he was only thinking about dreaming, and thinking about the sky. How can it be such a good thing to drop the pie and let the government manage him to eat and drink for a lifetime?"

"There are a lot of people who have been scolded by Chen Ming. If you have a good temper, you don't have the same knowledge as him. When you meet someone with a bad temper, just beat him up with your fists, and he will honestly confess."

"I can't beat him." Liu Xiang said frankly: "I have a physical disability, and I usually find it difficult to walk, let alone fight. So every time he comes to my shop, I am very polite. But later I found out that Chen Ming thinks I'm a bully, and every time he's drunk, he comes to my store to piss him off. Either he smashes wine bottles in my store, or he gets so drunk that he treats my store as a public toilet, vomits a lot, and lies in bed. Sleep on a chair outside."

Hu Pingtao listened carefully with a dignified expression.

He could understand the anger in Liu Xiang's heart.If it were him, he would definitely not like someone like Chen Ming.

"Think about it, officer, I'm running a shop!" Liu Xiang burst into tears: "Chen Ming comes here every day to make a fuss. As long as the customers in the shop see him, they will stay away from him. Most of Chen Ming The time is to drink at night, sometimes at noon, and even early in the morning for breakfast, and he also takes a few sips with him. It’s just at night, when there are not many customers. But at noon or in the morning, then I can't do business all day."

"It all happened several years ago. Later, Chen Ming drank more and more at noon, which made the number of customers in my shop less and less."

"Later I found out that he did it on purpose."

"There is a timetable of lottery winnings on the wall in my shop. Chen Ming, like many lottery players, likes to study the rules. When he was looking at the numbers on the table, he deliberately drank a few sips of wine and cursed. Come to my shop, wait for the others to leave, he will sit on the chair and have it all to himself.”

"I was so forced that I couldn't help it, so I reported the situation to the community and the sub-district office. People from the community came and tried to persuade him to go away every time, but Chen Ming came back again and kept threatening to smash me. shop."

"I thought about calling the police, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Because the police have nothing to do with him. At most, they just persuade him. Afterwards, Chen Ming will still come to the store to make trouble."

"I can only endure..."

"Chen Ming saw that I was a bully, so he started to intensify."

"It costs money to buy lottery tickets, two yuan per bet. Chen Ming used to pay money when he came to the store to buy numbers, but it changed later."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiang slowed down and explained: "Some customers come here often and are familiar with me, so they buy numbers from me regularly. For example, the old horse who lives in the second unit of the third building in the nearby community, he likes to buy long bets, and I made an agreement, and I will help him make a series of fixed numbers every day. Two yuan at a time, and it will be about 60 yuan a month.

"I'm very relieved of this kind of customer. Because Lao Ma has a unit, I'm not afraid of him repudiating his debts."

"There is also Boss Liu who runs a restaurant across the street. Like Lao Ma, he chases fixed numbers all the year round. He buys more, [-] each time, and sometimes chooses a few bets by machine. Just tell him, it’s the kind that can be paid on time.”

"Chen Ming lives nearby. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as an old neighbor. I thought that anyway, he often comes here. I open a shop and do business. As long as I am a customer, I have to say hello. So every time he comes to buy a lottery ticket, I treat him politely." Angry. At the beginning, he didn’t buy much, just one or two bets, and the highest was no more than ten yuan. Later, the media publicized more about those who won the big prize, and he was envious when he saw it. Thinking of winning the first prize, he was still yelling that he won 500 million, and he invited everyone to a big meal."

"Those who know his background and habits know that this is just talking casually. With his temperament, even if he is really rich, he will only spend it on women."

"In total, Chen Ming has bought lottery tickets in my store for more than three years. He has won dozens of small prizes such as five yuan and ten yuan, and has never won more than 100 yuan, let alone the big prize. said."

"People who buy lottery tickets have different attitudes. Some people just follow the fate and think it's fun to buy. It doesn't matter if they win or not. Anyway, they don't buy much, and each bet is only two yuan. Some people think that they have to stick to it for a long time. , so I buy it every day, and it’s still a fixed number, a fixed bet, ranging from two yuan to dozens of yuan; Thousands of bets are just for a few more numbers, so be more careful."

"Chen Ming belongs to the kind who buys numbers for a long time. But he doesn't buy fixed numbers. Every day in my shop, he looks at the watch on the wall and estimates which numbers will win the lottery. He..."

"Wait a minute." Hu Pingtao felt strange when he heard it, so he interrupted Liu Xiang and asked suspiciously: "You mean, Chen Ming, you would go to your store every day to check the numbers on the form?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "Yes. All lottery shops have this kind of big table, which is full of winning numbers in the past. Of course, the numbers are changed regularly. Generally speaking, only one month's numbers are kept. But sometimes According to the customer's request, the three-month or half-year number will be typed out from the computer and given separately."

Hu Pingtao also bought lottery tickets, but only occasionally.He asked incomprehensibly, "What's the use of these numbers?"

Liu Xiang replied: "This kind of thing...scores can be viewed from two aspects. In fact, in my opinion, it is useless at all. Because the winning numbers in each draw are randomly drawn. Although I am not well-educated, since I came into contact with the lottery Since this business, I have discovered that winning the lottery is purely a probability, and there is no possibility of winning at all.”

"The problem is that some people don't think so! Some people have bought it for several years in a row, not to mention the big prize, and have never won a small prize. Thinking about the amount of money invested in lottery tickets before, I feel distressed , So thinking about getting back the loss, I increased the bet and bought more... The problem is that this is a bottomless pit! No matter how much money you put into it, you may not get anything, let alone you think If you can win the lottery, you will definitely win.”

"There are also some so-called experts, I think they are full of bullshit. They analyze which numbers will win the lottery all day long, and write various comments based on the winning numbers in the past, and analyze which numbers have a higher probability of winning... Haha, I just started When I read this kind of comment, I felt that these experts are really powerful. Even this kind of thing can say one, two, three. There are a lot of reasons, and the various algorithms are really superior. I bought it a few times, and I found out that the whole shit was fart."

"Later, I figured it out—if I could win the lottery by buying numbers according to what they said, why didn't the experts spend money to buy lottery tickets? Could it be that they are really high-spirited people who don't eat the fireworks of the world and regard money as nothing The shitty kind? The reason why they write reviews or something is for money? If you don’t have money, ghosts will write that kind of stuff.”

"However, I have to admit that many lottery players follow this pattern. They must read every review, and buy according to what the reviews say."

Hu Pingtao found it funny, and asked, "Chen Ming also bought lottery tickets according to the numbers given in the comments?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "It was like this at first, but later he also felt that it was unreliable, so he didn't read it again. But Chen Ming didn't have any idea what number to buy, so he went to the lottery shop every day to look at the numbers on the wall. I stared at the form for a long time, and sometimes spent the whole afternoon there.”

"Once I couldn't help it, and asked him what he could see from the form? He told me: There is knowledge in looking at the form. As long as it takes a long time, the numbers on the form will become blurred. Two, three, four, five can't see the original appearance. At this time, God will give him enlightenment, and there will always be a few numbers that are particularly clear. As long as this happens, buy according to those clear numbers, you are right."

Xing Le felt annoyed and funny when he heard it: "If you stare at something for a long time, your eyes must feel tired. Dry eyeballs will cause blurred vision. It's normal to see clearly! Just blink Quickly smear a layer of liquid on the surface of the eyeball, and the dryness can be relieved. There is a process of visual recovery, and the originally blurred scenery will naturally become clear. This is a normal human physiological function, how can it be related to the weirdness relation?"

Liu Xiangdao: "Anyway, that's what Chen Ming said. And many people have the same idea as him. The reason why there are chairs in the lottery shop, and I added some benches later, is because more and more people look at their watches. many."

Hu Pingtao leaned back: "It means that Chen Ming has had conflicts with you since then?"

Anger appeared on Liu Xiang's face again: "He is very greedy, thinking about winning the lottery all day long, but he doesn't have much money in his pocket. He used to pay back the money he bought for lottery tickets, but then he stopped. At first I thought he was just paying on credit, so Like the few old customers I mentioned before, they all settle their bills at the end of the month. But when I asked him for money, he said that there was no such thing at all.”

Hu Pingtao asked puzzledly: "Your words are a little unjustifiable! Since he doesn't give you, the so-called gaining wisdom after a fall, then you will know his temper later. When he comes to buy a lottery ticket, you let him go first." Wouldn’t it be enough to give the money and call again?”

"It's not like this." Liu Xiang explained: "It's true for ordinary customers. I will give you a number after they give you money. But for acquaintances, you basically report your number. I will issue a ticket after you confirm it, and then they will give you money. Because A lottery ticket doesn’t cost much, only two yuan, so when many acquaintances pass by my store, they suddenly want to buy something, and they yell out a series of numbers and ask me to type them out first. If you are in a hurry to go to work or buy groceries, you will pay later.”

"There are many cases like this, and they happen every day. But no one has ever defaulted on the payment. Even after two or three days, I will still give you the money when you come back to my store."

"Chen Ming, a bastard, is not like this. He saw others doing this, and he wanted to take advantage of me. Several times in a row, he just imitated others and yelled and reported the numbers. At first I didn't think too much about it. I bought him a ticket, but when he came the next day, he didn’t mention it at all. I chased after him and asked, but he yelled at me, saying that there was nothing at all, and he would not give the money no matter what. "

Hu Pingtao stared at Liu Xiang: "I've heard many similar cases. Strictly speaking, you are also responsible. You clearly know that Chen Ming is unreliable, why didn't you ask him for money when he signed up? Do you understand the principle of outdated and not in time? The same rule does not apply to everyone."

Liu Xiang lowered her head and sighed: "I only realized it later... But I can't let go of this tone in my heart! What is the difference between what he did and cheating? Although two dollars is not much, I rely on this to support my family Ah! Besides, the money is not for me, I have to hand it over to the Welfare Lottery Center to make a little profit."

"I had a real dispute with Chen Ming in December last year. At noon that day, he drank alcohol and came to my shop reeking of alcohol. He sat on a chair and looked at the form on the wall, and then reported a series of numbers for me to type it out."

"I said at the time: You pay the money first, and then I will issue the ticket. I really didn't say this nonsense. There were several people in the store who could testify."

"Chen Ming didn't want to take out the money at all. He was still the same as before, playing tricks, saying that he didn't have any change with him, and asked me to call first, and then send me the money later. I said it was impossible, and this trick you I have played many times. I have to pay for the ticket. I have filled in more than 100 yuan for you. I can’t suffer this kind of loss again. In a word: If you want to buy a lottery ticket, I will buy it. Welcome, if you give the money, you will get a ticket, otherwise there will be no negotiation.”

"Chen Ming got angry when he heard that that day. Maybe he thought I was honest and easy to bully. He didn't expect that I would expose his old background in front of so many people, which made him very embarrassed. He smashed the wine in his hand at that time. Bottle, still yelling and yelling to hit me, the people next to him quickly stopped him, and several people persuaded him to go out. Chen Ming yelled at me not to leave, and said that he was only interested in this string of numbers, so I had to call him Come out, otherwise I won’t be able to eat and walk around.”

"I ignored him and didn't issue him a ticket."

"The lottery was drawn that night. I didn't expect that the string of numbers he said really won."

Hu Pingtao found it interesting, and asked in surprise, "Is it true?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "It's true."

"A grand prize of 500 million?" Xing Le also felt a little unbelievable: "No way, such a coincidence?"
