Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself, "My silly little brother, is this a matter of eyesight or brains?"
"You cheated! This guy just kicked me down, and then you tampered with things here!"
Brother Cheng hasn't even made 620 yuan today. It's not easy to meet a sucker like Yang Fenglin.
How could he possibly willingly hand over those six hundred and twenty yuan?
"Why can't you accept defeat? If you win, we'll give you all the money, but if someone else wins, you should just accept your bad luck!"
"So many eyes are watching here. This young girl didn't even touch your table. Where would she have gotten the chance to tamper with it?"
"Exactly, we can all testify!"
At this moment, even those who hadn't seen it said they had. They had all lost money with Brother Cheng to varying degrees, and since Bai Jiaojiao won so easily, they were all willing to help her give Brother Cheng a push.
Bai Jiaojiao reached out and lifted the middle bowl as well.
The crowd was in an uproar:
"Why is it empty too?"
Where's the ball?
"There's none in any of the three bowls?!"
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Heng-ge, look inside his two sleeves."
Taking advantage of Cheng Ge's panic, Shen Heng grabbed him. Cheng Ge struggled, and kind-hearted people immediately came to help.
Shen Heng pulled a red cotton ball from the man's right sleeve; it was the same one he had just put at the bottom of the bowl.
"The man's act of putting the ball in the bowl was a feint; he actually slipped it into his sleeve. It's an old trick, and he's skilled at it, but you shouldn't use it like that."
Bai Jiaojiao exposed Cheng Ge's trick: the ball was never placed at the bottom of the bowl, so no matter what everyone guessed, the bowl was empty when it was opened.
This person has the ability to hide a cotton ball in public, and he also has the ability to put a cotton ball in the bowl the moment he flips it. He can make whoever he wants win. Only when there are winners will the losers think that they are just unlucky and keep giving Brother Cheng more money, refusing to believe in bad luck.
"Take him with you and send him to the police station," Bai Jiaojiao said.
Shen Heng immediately twisted Cheng Ge's arm: "Are you out of your mind? You'll lie to anyone!"
Meeting them today is what Brother Cheng deserved.
Enraged, Yang Fenglin snatched the watch from Cheng Ge's wrist: "You dare to lie to me? Go to jail! Brother-in-law, send him away!"
"Wait a minute, he also cheated us out of our money!"
When the onlookers saw that Yang Fenglin had gotten his watch back, they all clamored to get back the money they had been cheated out of.
Shen Heng said, "We're only responsible for getting our own money back. If you have any debts with him, go to the police station and ask him for them!"
Shen Heng couldn't possibly share money with these people here. They wanted ten yuan here and twenty yuan there. How could he know whether what these people were saying was true or false?
He escorted Brother Cheng all the way to the police station, with onlookers following along. After all, five yuan wasn't a small amount of money, and besides, this kind of excitement didn't happen every day.
Officer Chen was on duty when he saw this group of people approaching, and he was startled.
As soon as Shen Heng entered the police station, he pushed Brother Cheng to the ground.
He loosened his wrist: "Report this to the police. This person is setting up a stall outside to commit fraud and is also suspected of gambling."
Officer Chen was even more startled when he saw that it was Shen Heng.
He had just seen off this giant Buddha statue two days ago when his superiors called to say that the man was Yang Fu's grandson-in-law.
He treated that person like a murderer and kept him in the interrogation room all night; the thought of it still terrifies me.
When Officer Chen saw Shen Heng again, he didn't know what to say.
"Wh-what?"
"Did you go deaf after not seeing me for a few days?"
Shen Heng's attitude toward the police, and Officer Chen's indifference to him, made those who came along wonder.
"How is this a scam? And what's going on with all of you?"
Their police station's main hall wasn't large, and when more than a dozen people suddenly poured in, it almost filled the entire space.
"Officer, we are all honest people. We were cheated by this man. We are here to get back the money he cheated out of us!"
Bai Jiaojiao tugged at Shen Heng and explained the situation to Officer Chen in a simple and clear manner.
Officer Chen was completely confused, but he could guess the relationship between Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng from their subtle interactions.
Shen Heng was Yang Fu's grandson-in-law.
Then his wife is Yang Fu's granddaughter, isn't she?
How could he possibly be so close to someone like that?
"Officer, did you understand? Is there anything I didn't explain clearly?"
Bai Jiaojiao noticed that Officer Chen was distracted, so she asked him again.
Officer Chen cleared his throat: "Understood. Here's what we'll do: you all go wait in the reception room over there for a while. I'll have someone register how much money he cheated you out of. Everyone should be honest and trustworthy. I'll also verify this with the suspect. Okay, everyone, please make way for me so as not to delay our other colleagues' work."
Officer Chen snapped out of his daze and began assigning tasks.
The group went to the reception room, but Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng found it too crowded and hot, so they sat at the entrance of the reception room.
Yang Fenglin stood in front of the two of them, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
"Sister, I was wrong, I caused you trouble."
Seeing Yang Fenglin like this, what could Bai Jiaojiao say?
She's not Yang Fenglin's mother, so how could she possibly give him a long lecture?
Bai Jiaojiao simply said, "While being deceived isn't entirely your fault, you should still be a little more careful in the future. Hey, weren't you walking with a woman? Where is she?"
Yang Fenglin scratched his head: "I don't know when she left. I got carried away with my game."
"......"
Bai Jiaojiao didn't know what to say: "That girl didn't fall for it, did she? She seems to be staying at the same guesthouse as us. If she did, we should let her know."
Yang Fenglin said, "She did play one round, but she won ten yuan. She's smarter than me; she didn't play a second round after winning. I'm the stupid one who got cheated."
"These scammers will definitely let others win a couple of rounds, otherwise who would play if everyone just loses?" Bai Jiaojiao didn't think much of it.
