American TV series Detective's Daily Life

The next day.

Jane opened her eyes from a deep sleep with a smile on her face. It took her a long time to regain her memory. She raised her hand and looked at her watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. She exclaimed, got up, quickly washed up, and walked out to face Xiang Xiang. She greeted Justine and asked, "Where's Chuck?"

"Going to Long Island."

Justine smiled and said, "He told you to go find him when you wake up."

"damn it!"

Jane picked up the phone and dialed Chuck while running towards the garage, almost falling.

"I've already helped you drive the car."

Justine stepped forward to support Jane and reminded her.

Only then did Jane notice that the car Chuck usually let her drive had indeed been parked outside. She stood up straight in embarrassment and thanked Justine. At this time, the phone call had been connected. After Chuck gave an address, Jane put away her phone and walked over slowly, got in the car, and left the mountainside villa.

Long Island, New York.

Jane drove to a luxurious manor, reported Chuck's name, passed the access control, and drove the car in. After parking, she walked into an outdoor venue being decorated under the guidance of the waiter, and saw Chuck.

"What are you doing here?"

Jane asked in confusion: "After settling Linda yesterday, you never told me what the other method is!"

"Do you have the energy to listen?"

Chuck looked at her.

"You say what you say, and I'll listen to mine!"

Jian Qiao blushed and quickly changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"I don't like doing wasted work."

Chuck asked, "Do you know why Patrick Closter is rich?"

"He is the world chess champion, so he will get a lot of prize money."

Jane wasn't sure.

"The bonus is limited after all, just a small part."

Chuck shook his head: "The bulk of the income after winning the world championship is the income from interviews, books, endorsements, and of course acupuncture."

"Going to the hole?"

Jane looked around thoughtfully.

"right."

Chuck nodded and said: "For rich people, any kind of performance can be organized. Compared to inviting celebrities to appear and sing, some people from old money families prefer to organize performances that represent their identity. Activities, such as the world chess champion vs. the four highest-level chess players in New York, in their eyes, the highest intellectual battle can better demonstrate their dominance and please their nerves."

"Is that bastard coming here today?"

Jane's eyes lit up: "Can you participate?"

"Compared with international championships with relatively strict rules, the rules of this entertainment competition are more flexible."

Chuck said: "The four invited New York representatives of the highest chess ability can authorize others to play in their place, and I will replace one of them."

"Ha ha."

Jane laughed out loud: "I really look forward to seeing that bastard's expression when he sees you appearing in front of him. It will be very exciting!"

Seeing that Chuck didn't agree, Jane didn't care either. She finally stopped laughing and became worried again: "Isn't he still unwilling to sleep with you?"

"I stood in front of him based on my ability, and it completely complied with the rules of the game he set. Why should he refuse?"

Chuck said calmly: "It doesn't matter if he refuses, there is no need to compete at that time."

"If he still refuses, it means that he knows that he is not as good as you and doesn't dare to have sex with you. Anything else is just an excuse."

Jane smiled.

While the two were talking, a blond girl with long legs ran towards them, stopped in front of them panting, and shouted: "Chuck, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time... She who is it?"

"Little girl, who are you?"

Jane could tell at a glance that the person in front of her looked very mature, but she was actually still a young girl, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not a little girl!"

The long-legged blond girl held her head high, and then she caught a glimpse of Jane's figure. She curled her lips and hummed, "Don't you even recognize me?"

"Should I recognize him?"

Jane couldn't help teasing her: "Little girl~"

"You're not American, are you?"

The blond girl with long legs said disdainfully: "You don't even know me, Caroline Channing?"

"Qian Ning..."

Jane suddenly said: "You are the daughter of billionaire Martin Channing. Does this manor belong to your family?"

"The only daughter!"

The girl Caroline corrected: "This manor is just one of the many manors in my family!"

"Awesome, she turns out to be the princess of the Qian Ning family."

Jane gave a thumbs up to Caroline and glanced at Chuck unconsciously. She originally thought that Amazing Amy was already the most famous among Chuck's partners, but she didn't expect that there might be multiple American princesses. .

That’s right!

As the only daughter of billionaire Martin Channing, Caroline Channing is recognized as a princess-level rich girl. Before she reached adulthood, her father prepared a trust fund for her.

Well, a billion dollars!

Even among wealthy nobles, this is definitely the top level of treatment. This is a capital princess who was directly promoted to a true billionaire as soon as she came of age, without inheriting the family inheritance!

"Who are you?"

The girl Caroline raised her chin and looked at Jane.

"I'm Chuck's assistant."

After Jane knew the other party's identity, she didn't want to tease the other party and cause conflicts. She knew very well how destructive a princess like Caroline could be once she got into trouble.

"Oh, it turns out you're an assistant. Let me tell you, your temperament looks just like my father's female assistants."

The girl Caroline's hand that had been placed in front of her body gently waved her palm, and said something sinister, and then turned away to look at Chuck: "Chuck, I've been looking for you for a long time. Let's talk. I have I’d like to ask you a lot about financial management and accounting knowledge.”

"Look for your dad."

Chuck shook his head: "He's the best at these."

"But my dad said you are the best."

The girl Caroline clasped her hands together and begged coquettishly: "Please~!"

"No time."

Chuck was unmoved and walked away as he spoke.

"No wonder Amy is so confident."

The girl Caroline looked at Chuck's leaving figure and couldn't help but mutter and complain.

"Do you know Amazing Amy?"

Jane, who was about to follow Chuck away, subconsciously stopped when she heard the muttering and looked over curiously.

She has always been very curious about this famous magical Amy.

"Is it weird?"

The girl Caroline glanced at Jane: "If it hadn't happened that Detective Chuck Chi saved Amazing Amy, Amazing Amy would never have had the chance to enter my circle of friends and let me know her."

"Then you know about her affair with Chuck, right?"

Jane Bagua said: "You and her are friends now... Is this okay with you?"

"You don't know the ecology of our circle of friends at all, do you?"

The girl Caroline looked at Jane as if she were a fool, and then left with her head held high.

"..."

Jane's face darkened.

Although she didn't know it before, she vaguely knows it now, and she hates this kind of friend circle ecology!

"How did you meet her?"

Jane, who finally adjusted her emotions and found Chuck, couldn't help but ask.

"I'm rich."

Chuck was concise and to the point.

"...Okay, you both have money, and it's normal for you to know each other."

Jane suddenly understood little Sheldon's feelings, and complained: "You just say that you specially prepared this game, and I won't feel anything strange, because you are rich!"

After saying this, she couldn't go on anymore because she noticed that Chuck glanced at her, and she understood the look and exclaimed in disbelief: "Wait, this is actually true? This competition is not a coincidence. , but you arranged it?"

"Weird?"

Chuck asked rhetorically.

"Not surprisingly!"

Jane couldn't help but complain: "That's right! I just had a fight with that bastard yesterday. He asked you to walk in front of him first before you were eligible to fight him. As a result, there is this competition today. How can it be such a coincidence! It's really possible to have money Do whatever you want!"

"No money spent."

Chuck said calmly: "I just said hello to Mr. Channing. Originally, this invitational competition was scheduled for two weeks later, that is, after Patrick Kloster participated in the world championship match from Rejing. I just asked Qian Mr. Ning is just a little ahead of schedule."

"Just asking a billionaire to make arrangements in advance?"

The corners of Jane's mouth twitched as she repeated Chuck's Versailles words.

Just saying hello made the billionaire change the arrangements that had been planned for a long time. This involved the schedules of many distinguished guests. How could it be so relaxed and casual!

"Dr. Wolf, this is your competition ID card, No. 1!"

Three men and one woman came over. One of the men took off the competition card from his neck and reluctantly handed it to Chuck.

Chuck took it, walked to his chess board, sat down and nodded to the host who looked at him.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the world chess champion grandmaster Patrick Kloster!"

Amidst the applause, Patrick Kloster walked out wearing his identity card. Without looking at the four contestants, he directly faced the upper-class audience, including Channing and his daughter, and bowed slightly and nodded.

Then he turned around and saw Chuck.

"well, well, well!"

Patrick Kloster's expression changed, and he walked over with a smile: "As expected of Detective Chuck, you have found a chance. It's really not surprising at all."

"You said you would only have sex with me if I walked in front of you, and now I'm here."

Chuck looked at him: "Can you go down?"

"as you wish!"

In full view of everyone, everything was played according to the rules of the game, and Patrick Kloster could only agree to play.

However, it was different from the one-on-one competitions he had participated in many times before. This time he reached out and took out a black chess piece and a white chess piece in his palm. Chuck, motioning for Chuck to guess right or wrong.

In chess, white moves first, and among players of similar skill levels, or among the best players, the advantage of making the first move almost means victory.

In a team fight with one against many, the default is usually for the 'one' to move the white chess first. This was the case for Beth Harmon yesterday, and the four chessboards are also placed in this way today, with the white chess pointing at them. Patrick Kloster.

Now Patrick Kloster did not follow the rules, but first guessed the black and white. Obviously he valued this game with Chuck very much and was not prepared to win with flaws.

Chuck glanced at him, pointed to his left hand, and without waiting for Patrick Kloster to open his hand to reveal whether it was black or white, he said directly: "White goes first!"

Patrick Kloster's open hand paused, then slowly opened it, revealing the black chess piece in the palm of his left hand. Chuck chose the black chess piece, so naturally he chose the white chess piece first.

This should have been an undisputed advantage, but being messed with by Chuck made Patrick Kloster lose the joy of having the advantage first.

In addition to skills, playing chess also tests mentality and performance!

Otherwise, if it were two alpha dogs playing chess, their skills would be at their peak and they would make no mistakes. Then there would be almost no need to play, and the one with white moving first would definitely win.

But people are not alpha dogs. Their state is limited by many factors. Even if their skills are perfect, they will still make mistakes.

Chuck could obviously guess the white chess piece, but he chose the black chess piece to go first. This was simply contempt for him, as if to say: "What's wrong with letting your white piece go first? You will still lose!"

If he hadn't been able to adjust his mentality after many years of competition, this move alone would be enough to make him smell sweet.

"Do I need to ask them to admit defeat and focus on fighting me?"

Chuck waited for Patrick Kloster to put the Othello back to its original position and asked again.

"Need not!"

Patrick Kloster squinted at the other three contestants and refused directly.

"..."

The top four chess players in New York City, two men and one woman, all looked ugly. They admitted that they might not be a match for the world champion, but there was no need to treat them with this attitude, as if they were rotten fish.

"as you wish!"

Chuck pressed the switch on the timer and stretched out his hand to indicate that it was time for him to stop.

Playing chess is very mentally demanding, and a game can even last for days or years, but this is not suitable for competition.

Therefore, in the chess game, a timing clock rule was introduced. It was placed next to the chess board. Two people shared a chess clock. There was a switch on the side of the chess clock close to the two players. After moving the chess piece, you press it. With the switch on this side, the clock on your side will stop timing, and the clock on your opponent's side will automatically start timing.

After the opponent has thought about it and made a move, he repeats the above actions. At the end of the game, the chess clock records the time spent by both sides thinking.

The length of the timer is freely defined by the organizer and can be long or short. Once set, if this time is exceeded, the game will be directly judged as a loss.

Patrick Kloster took a deep look at Chuck, then picked up the white pawn and moved it forward. Then he walked to chessboard No. 2, chessboard 3, and chessboard 4. Compared to facing Chuck, It's solemn and full of casualness in its opening and closing.

"Dad, who will win?"

The girl Caroline grabbed the arm of a handsome middle-aged man and looked nervously at Chuck's No. 1 chessboard.

"Chuck is going to win."

Billionaire Martin Channing patted his daughter's hand and said affirmatively.

"You can understand?"

The girl Caroline leaned into her father's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I don't understand."

Martin Channing looked around and joked in a voice that only the father and daughter could hear: "With this collision of top wisdom, how can we understand the subsequent subtle changes contained in each step? If we can understand, We can also compete for the world championship, but we don’t need to understand the chess game, we just need to understand the people.”

"Well, I also think Chuck can win!"

The girl Caroline nodded with a smile in her eyes.

It didn't take long for everyone to see it.

Because compared to Chuck, who has remained calm from beginning to end, world champion grandmaster Patrick Kloster's movements and expressions are becoming less and less cool. With every step he takes, he takes longer and longer to think, while Chuck's movements are almost instantaneous. , it seems that there is no need to think at all.

It is too obvious which one is strong and which one is weak.

"you lose!"

When Patrick Kloster made a difficult move, Chuck directly announced the result. Patrick Kloster's face changed drastically, and he stared at the chessboard, his brain deducing the possible changes at full speed, and waited until Chuck was unwilling to do anything. After waiting, he took action and moved a step. Then his face turned pale and he realized that he had really lost.

"You are very powerful. Your style is very similar to the Red Bear chess player, and your style is also similar."

His eyes changed for a long time before Patrick Kloster forced a smile and said: "I look forward to our one-on-one fair fight in the future!"

The people watching suddenly started whispering.

Those who are willing to come here to watch have some common sense understanding of chess, and the former Red Bear players who swept the world and made Americans despair, played chess like a robot and made no mistakes, and their "criticized" teamwork Style' has been widely reported by the American media.

What is teamwork?

You must know that chess competitions are very mentally demanding, and former Red Bear players usually occupy the top three. When it is their turn to compete against each other, they will not try their best and give up when they can, conserving their energy to deal with them. Man, this is what the American media calls teamwork.

A so-called genius American chess player even made a fuss about withdrawing from the competition, which pushed this kind of news to the forefront.

When Patrick Kloster said this, everyone immediately thought that Chuck's expressionless face indeed looked like a Red Bear chess player's robot style, and the 4V1 pattern could also be seen as teamwork.

"Victory cannot be won without force."

"Let me tell you, how could the world champion lose so casually? It turned out to be a sneak attack that took advantage."

"It's impossible for a world champion to win every game."

Everyone was talking about it.

When Patrick Kloster heard these words with his back turned, his face looked much better, and he regained his confident and calm smile.

"You don't have to wait until later."

Chuck stood up, walked to chessboard No. 2, and extended his hand to Patrick Kloster: "We will finish the remaining games."

"What do you mean?"

Patrick Kloster was startled, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

"You can go down now."

Chuck looked at chess players No. 2, 3, and 4.

When Patrick Kloster's face changed drastically, players No. 2, 3, and 4 took out their earphones from their ears, stood up and explained helplessly to everyone: "Before the game started, Dr. Wolf He played against us 1V4 and defeated us, making us believe that we could not even defeat him, let alone defeat the world champion grandmaster Mr. Kloster, so we agreed to his request, put on headphones, and listened to his instructions throughout the process. The mobile phone sends voice reminders converted into text messages to play chess.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

"So it looks like four people are fighting against one person in a team, but it's actually just one person against one person, just playing four games of chess at the same time?"

The girl Caroline exclaimed in amazement.

"impossible!"

Patrick Kloster's face was ashen, he ignored the cultural barriers between the East and the West, and shouted out Cao Cao's classic saying: "Absolutely impossible!"
