American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"You mean my brother, Ross, won the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot?"

Monica was stunned for a long time and asked word by word.

"Is that your brother Ross Geller on the video?"

The private detective took out his mobile phone, clicked on a surveillance video, and put it in front of Monica's eyes.

"It really is……"

Monica opened her eyes wide and took a look. She didn't even need to look closely. Just by looking at the expression and movements of the female staff member at the lottery station, she was sure it was her brother.

Then her legs went weak and she was supported by Chuck, holding onto Chuck's hand.

"Chuck, I didn't dream, did Ross really win the jackpot?!!!"

"No nightmares."

Chuck nodded: "It's true."

"my Lord."

Monica exclaimed in surprise: "2.04 billion U.S. dollars, how much does it cost? I am the biological sister of a billionaire... huh? Why is this a nightmare?"

Chuck gave a self-aware look, then looked at the private detective: "Do you know Ross's whereabouts?"

"I was just about to ask you."

The private detective kept looking at Chuck and Monica: "I just received the investigation task, don't you know where he is?"

"have no idea!"

Monica immediately became worried: "He has been unable to contact him for two days... Damn Chandler!!!"

"Does this have anything to do with Chandler Bing?"

the private detective probed.

"Of course it does matter!"

Monica said frantically: "Just now we mentioned that we couldn't contact Ross, and he joked that maybe Ross was lucky enough to win the jackpot and then unfortunately got kidnapped... God, Chuck, Ross can't really Was he kidnapped?"

"Probably."

Chuck said bluntly: "This is 2.04 billion U.S. dollars, which is enough to make Ross truly at the forefront. It is very common for kidnapping to become a daily routine in the future."

"Didn't I hear that the surveillance video is only used to determine the winner, and personal privacy will not be leaked before receiving the prize?"

Monica was worried and puzzled: "He didn't even have time to notify us of the news that Ross won the lottery, which means someone must have known the news earlier than him."

The private detective smiled and said nothing.

He is only employed by the National Lottery Association and is not a member of the National Lottery Association. There is no need to be embarrassed by this kind of information leakage.

"This is normal."

Chuck explained: "Although it stands to reason that no information will be disclosed before the winner receives the prize, the lottery station that issued the first prize must have made some mistakes, causing the video to be leaked. For those who are interested, it is very easy. Find out the news."

When claiming a prize in the American Powerball Lottery, you cannot accept it anonymously and your identity must be disclosed, so unless you give up so much money, you have to stand in front of the stage.

But before receiving the award, the identity information should be kept secret, but it was nothing more than a joke.

"Chuck!"

Monica held Chuck's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

Now she is basically sure that her brother Ross has really been kidnapped. Otherwise, with Ross's character, there would be no news at all after two days.

The strong shock and surprise of the 2.04 billion grand prize has long since turned into deep worry.

She values ​​family ties more than money!

"That's good news."

Chuck said calmly.

"How to say?"

Monica looked at him blankly.

"Now that this surveillance video has fallen into the hands of the National Lottery Association, it shows that the winner of the 2.04 billion jackpot is Ross."

Chuck explained: "Ross's life will not be in danger before the 2.04 billion grand prize is claimed."

In the past, when surveillance was not so developed, Ross would have definitely been ripped off by now. Anyway, whoever holds the lottery ticket can claim it.

But now it is a video testimony. Unless Ross goes to collect it in person, even if he grabs the lottery ticket, he will not be able to collect it.

"I should relax."

Monica smiled bitterly and said: "But in fact it's not the case at all. How should I tell my parents, Chuck, you will definitely be able to save Ross, right?"

"I try my best."

Chuck raised his decorative glasses.

"What should we do now? Call the police first?"

Monica said anxiously.

"It's already obvious, stop following me."

Chuck said something to the private detective, then motioned for Monica to get in the car and drove quickly away from the scene.

"where are we going?"

"Go to the lottery station where the lottery is drawn first."

Chuck dialed Detective Shenfan's number as he spoke: "Detective Peralta, follow Chandler and check Ross's apartment to see if there are any clues."

The detective Shenfan over there naturally agreed happily. Although it was not his jurisdiction, with Chuck's greeting, his chief would definitely not hesitate.

And he was finally able to team up with Chandler to go out on the police force.

"Private detective, are you okay?"

Monica was relieved to see that Chuck had officially taken over and started making arrangements, and thought of the private detective who had secretly followed them just now.

"What could be the problem?"

Chuck asked rhetorically.

"He was hired by the National Lottery Association to investigate whether this jackpot is related to you, and Ross is my brother."

Monica worried: "Will the lottery be declared invalid?"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help complaining: "I was kidnapped just after I won the lottery. I don't know how much trouble I will be in from now on. I would rather the lottery ticket is invalid...at least I won less."

"You're going to be disappointed."

Chuck said bluntly: "The lottery will not be declared invalid, because if Ross knew that I might affect his lottery, he would definitely say that he doesn't know me, or directly say that we are enemies. In short, it will never affect him in receiving the lottery.

It's easy to have fewer lottery tickets. After receiving it, just donate most of it in public. But do you think Ross can do such a thing? "

"..."

Monica was speechless.

Based on her understanding of Rose's stingy temperament, every time he went to a hotel, he would pack up everything the hotel could pack and take it back. Asking him to donate most of his winnings was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"It really won't affect you?"

Monica suppressed her complaints about her brother's racial talent, and her mind returned to the private detective's investigation of Chuck.

"I remember that you were a consultant to the National Lottery Association, and you were paid a lot of money just to prevent you from buying lottery tickets. They must have asked you to sign some kind of agreement, right?

Now that Ross has won the lottery, although your relationship is not good, there is me in the middle. They must suspect that it is related to you. Will they sue you for breach of contract? "

"Won't."

Chuck said calmly: "I didn't sign any punitive agreement at all. You misunderstood a concept. It's not that I want to take their money, but that they repeatedly begged me to take money as a consultant."

"...Then why are they still investigating you?"

Monica was puzzled.

"Routine investigation."

Chuck said: "It's also because the jackpot amount this time is unprecedented, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to go through the cutscene."

Long Island gas station.

When Chuck and the others arrived, there was a huge line of people waiting to buy lottery tickets, and everyone was discussing the news that this store had given out the largest bonus in history.

Although the possibility of winning a huge prize in this store again is almost impossible, buying lottery tickets is a matter of luck, and people obviously believe in the cases that have already been successful.

Chuck found his boss and looked at him: "Did you spread the news?"

"No, it's a system failure."

The boss's eyes flickered, and when he saw Monica's disbelief, he shrugged and smiled.

“Don’t look at me like that, even regular elections and sacred polling stations can have various malfunctions on election day.

My place is a small gas station and lottery station. Isn't it normal for something to break down and leak? "

"..."

Monica was speechless.

This is too rude.

But it's true.

On such an important day, the machine that cost so much money breaks down even if it is said to be faulty, and even lacks paper, which treats everyone as if they are mentally retarded. What can you do?

"Where was the female teller?"

Chuck asked suddenly.

"You mean Wei Qi?"

The boss was stunned: "She resigned. Obviously, anyone who knows that he is so close to such a huge prize, but can only watch others get it, will easily lose his balance and not want to do such a low-paying job."

At this moment, Chuck's cell phone rang, and the annoying detective's voice came over.

"Chuck, Chandler and I checked. I heard from Ross's neighbor that he saw him leaving with a beautiful girl the day before yesterday. They were talking and laughing. It didn't look like he was kidnapped."

"I'll send you a photo later, and you can check to see if it's her."

Chuck hung up the phone after saying this, and then said to the boss who looked at him: "Weiqi's full name."

The boss said that Chuck directly connected to the FBI's data network on his mobile phone, retrieved Wei Qi's information, and then sent it to Detective Shenfan.

"let's go."

Chuck took Monica away directly.

"Do you think Rose's disappearance is related to this Wei Qi?"

Monica asked.

"Probably."

Chuck nodded.

Soon, Detective Shenfan took Wei Qi's photo to Ross's neighbor for verification, and confirmed that the girl who was talking and laughing with Ross was Wei Qi.

"is her."

Chuck gave Monica a definite answer.

"It's really her."

Monica was surprised: "Can we find out where she is now?"

"Okay, just check her credit card consumption record."

Chuck quickly found Wei Qi's credit card consumption records through authority, and told Monica a place name: "Atlantic City."

"Atlantic City?"

Monica was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and exclaimed in disbelief: "She won't go to Atlantic City with him for a flash marriage, right?"

"Most likely."

Chuck nodded.

The United States has a dedicated gambling city, Las Vegas on the West Coast, which is world-famous.

But there is actually a casino city on the East Coast, which is still popular today, and it is Atlantic City in New Jersey.

As a gambling city, it naturally has various rules that are different from those outside to attract people.

One of them is the flash marriage system.

In other places, marriage registration and other procedures take a long time to complete, but in casinos, there are special flash marriage services, suitable for those who have drunk too much.

In the original time and space of Friends, Ross and Rachel had a flash marriage in Las Vegas.

If you get too drunk, you can pay extra for express service and get your marriage certificate on the same day.

This is still a true marriage certificate with legal effect.

If you want a divorce, you need to apply for a new divorce.

This is also the reason why Ross was called the Divorce Man in the original time and space.

Among all his old friends, he has been married and divorced more times than everyone else combined.

Although Atlantic City is not as good as Las Vegas as a casino city, it also has a quick marriage system.

In the American TV series How I Met Your Mother, Lily and Matthew wanted to have a flash marriage, so they went to Atlantic City that day.

Although they were told at the time that they needed to make an appointment in advance, unless they had special approval from the judge, they couldn't get married because they had broken up midway and couldn't impress the judge.

But everyone knows that what can really impress the judge is obviously not the sincere feelings, but more money.

If Wei Qi wanted to have a flash marriage with Ross, she would obviously be willing to spend money in order to share the huge prize.

"Then let's go to Atlantic City quickly!"

Monica screamed: "We must not let this bitch take advantage of this!"

"You should pray that she takes advantage of this."

Chuck changed direction and hurried towards Atlantic City, speaking on the phone.

"Why?"

Monica said angrily: "She wants to defraud marriage and money, so that's reasonable!"

The phone call went through, and Chuck directly asked someone to check Rose's marriage registration status.

Because of the impressive work speed in the United States, even if Ross was successfully deceived into marriage by Wei Qi in Atlantic City, there would still be a time lag before submitting it to the Internet for refresh.

So if you want to know first-hand information, you must use relationships.

As a consultant to so many rights law enforcement agencies, Chuck directly found the handling judge with one phone call and confirmed the fact that Ross and Wei Qi had registered their marriage.

"What the hell!"

When Monica heard this, she scolded her directly: "She really succeeded! It doesn't matter, you can regret the marriage then, find a good lawyer, and get the money back."

Seeing that Chuck didn't speak, she suddenly remembered and turned sideways to look at Chuck: "Why do you have to pray that she can take advantage?"

“Why only get half when you can get it all?”

Chuck reminded: "And you also said that if this kind of behavior is similar to cheating for marriage and money, if a lawsuit is really filed, she may not be able to get half of the money. You can think of it, but she can't think of it?

You must know that after she learned that Ross won the lottery, she immediately formulated a series of plans.

Take the initiative to come to your door for temptation.

Cut off all contact with Ross to prevent him from learning that he won the big prize.

Arrange a flash wedding.

In just two days, she accomplished this series of things.

We're talking about Ross!

When he knew that getting married like this would be ridiculed by everyone for being a divorcee, he didn't even sign a prenuptial agreement, so he was persuaded to have a flash marriage by a woman he had only known for a day.

Do you think a woman with such executive ability will not be able to see through the problems you see and wait to lose the advantage of information? "

"..."

Monica was stunned, and then pointed forward, not caring about the failure in challenging the weak point. She understood that Chuck had always been in soft mode and never dared to shout more slogans, and directly shouted: "Go! Go! Go !”

She now understood what Chuck meant, and she really started to pray that this new sister-in-law Wei Qi just wanted to take advantage, instead of taking everything.

Atlantic City.

An intersection of train tracks and highways.

An SUV is parked on the tracks.

"Mrs. Geller, Mrs. Vicki Geller."

Ross, who was in the driver's seat, was holding champagne in his hand. He was in a trance and smiled silly at the woman in the passenger seat: "Does it sound good?"

"It's like a dream come true."

In the passenger seat, the newly minted second Mrs. Rose Geller, with an expressionless face, took the champagne and poured a little more into the glass in Rose's hand: "Here, drink some more."

"I think this is making me a little sleepy."

Rose took another sip, and then said tiredly to his new wife.

"Yes, there are 5 SukeMian pills in total."

Wei Qi stopped pretending to the confused Ross.

"Suke Mian?"

Even the confused Rose woke up and asked subconsciously: "Isn't it the little blue pill?"

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Wei Qi looked at him with disgust: "It's a pity that you can't do it!"

If possible, she would prefer to let Rose have sex right away, which would be more natural, but it was a pity that giving him the opportunity to be flirtatious under the peony skirt would be of no use to him.
