Chapter 252 Actually I am a mathematician
Zhang Wei experienced a gun battle.
To be precise, I heard someone else having a gunfight. Zhang Wei was lying on the ground, hiding behind the suitcase, letting bullets fly around, not daring to raise his head.
Due to the sudden gun battle, the surroundings became chaotic. People running away, screaming, and being hit and wailing were all intertwined in an instant.
Germany, like the United States, is a country where you can legally hold guns. Ordinarily, Germans should be like Americans, they have seen the world, and gunfights are not a big deal.
But the fact is that after seeing the gunfight, the surrounding Germans panicked like flies on their brows. They were not at all like Americans, who calmly fell to the ground or found a nook to hide.
Germany’s gun control laws are much stricter than those in the United States. To legally hold a gun in Germany, you must not only undergo strict background checks and safety training, but also comply with various laws and regulations. Most people cannot apply to hold a gun. If it is certified, most people will be filtered out legally.
Another reason is that guns and bullets in Germany are expensive.
Germany's per capita GDP is already one-third less than that of the United States. Coupled with Germany's high taxes, the actual salary Germans receive is only about half of that of Americans.
But the price of guns and ammunition in Germany is more than double that in the United States. The money you spend on a pistol bullet in Germany can be spent on a lottery ticket. If it were you, would you rather buy a bullet or take a five million chance?
Therefore, guns in Germany are not as widespread as those in the United States. The Germans are not as calm as Americans when encountering gun battles.
The sound of gunshots continued, bullets hit the Mercedes-Benz SUV next to him, and there was a sound of metal collision. For the first time, Zhang Wei felt that time was so long, and every second was suffering.
Finally, the siren sounded from a distance, and the police patrolling nearby finally arrived. Then the gunfire gradually stopped, and Agent Harman could only be heard shouting words about saving people in German.
As the supporting police officers approached, Zhang Wei finally raised his head cautiously. He first looked at Lu Yunxiang next to him. This kid was bolder than him. He had already gotten up from the ground and looked around with curiosity. .
"Xiao Lu, are you not injured?" Zhang Wei asked quickly.
"No, brother, are you okay?" Lu Yunxiang asked.
"I'm fine." Zhang Wei took a deep breath: "It's good that both of us are fine!"
"No wonder there are so few foreigners! This can be considered a prosperous area, everyone can meet It’s a shootout! I’ve seen a lot. I just took a peek. It was so exciting, it was like filming a movie!”
“You dare to take a peek?” Zhang Wei scolded! road.
At the same time, Zhang Wei looked around and saw a man who was injured and fell to the ground, moaning on the ground. This man had stockings on his head and was obviously one of the gangsters. The other gangsters should have run away.
One of the two detectives from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation was shot in the shoulder, and blood flowed down his arm. Agent Harman was fine, just a little disgraced.
Other than that, it seemed that no civilians were hit, just a few unlucky ones who fell or tripped while escaping.
There were several bullet holes in the surrounding cars and on the glass of the shop. So many bullets were fired that the warring parties spent most of the time demonstrating their body-stroke marksmanship.
While Zhang Wei was still in shock, Agent Harman came over directly and put handcuffs on Zhang Wei.
"Why are you handcuffing me! I didn't break the law!" Zhang Wei was a little confused.
"They didn't break the law, so who are they?" Haman pointed at the gangster who fell to the ground after being shot.
“How do I know this? I’m not German and I don’t know him!” Zhang Wei shook his head.
"Don't know? Then come back with me and have a good memory!" Haman said, waving to the policeman next to him and taking Zhang Wei directly to the police car.
......
Zhang Wei was taken to the German Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau and put into an interrogation room.
After a while, Harman opened the door and walked in, followed by a recorder.
"Agent Harman, there was a gunfight. As a witness, I should assist you in the investigation, but you handcuffed me. What does this mean?" Zhang Wei raised his hands and continued: " I am a victim, not a criminal."
"Are you a victim?" Haman smiled coldly: "Stop pretending, I advise you to tell the truth. Maybe I will plead with the judge on your behalf. What is your relationship with those armed gangsters?"
"I don't know them! I'm just a tourist, I've only been in Germany for twenty days, how can I know the armed gangsters?" Wei replied.
"You don't know them, so why did they come to save you?" Haman then asked.
"Save me?" Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and understood instantly. It seemed that Haman had misunderstood him.
So Zhang Wei smiled slightly, and then said: "Agent Harman, I think you have misunderstood. Those gangsters with guns have nothing to do with me. Maybe they are not coming for me. "
"It's not for you, is it for me?" Haman asked.
"It's possible! You are an agent of the German Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau. You should have offended many people, right? Do you think it is possible that the criminals you have arrested before are coming to take revenge on you? ”
Haman was suddenly speechless. How can someone in his line of work not offend others? It is reasonable for criminals to take revenge on him.
However, Haman had already preconceived the idea that Zhang Wei was a member of a criminal group. Even if what Zhang Wei said made sense, Haman felt that Zhang Wei was just quibbling.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. Although your accomplice was shot, he is not dead. My colleague is already questioning him. By the time he speaks, it will be too late for you to confess. "
As soon as Haman finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a colleague came in, leaned into Haman's ear and said: "There was a call from the hospital, he was arrested by us. That person has been recruited!"
"Great!" Haman said with a smile on his face and an imposing look; "You have heard it, why don't you speak now? There's enough time!"
Zhang Wei blinked in confusion: "I heard it, but I didn't understand it. He was speaking German, and I don't understand German."
Harman then realized that the conversation between his colleague and him was in German.
How embarrassing!
The original momentum was instantly weakened by three points.
Then Haman translated: "There was a call from the hospital just now, and all your accomplices have confessed!"
"The gangsters have admitted that they are here to seek revenge on you. ?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.
One sentence instantly made Haman feel like his fist had hit cotton.
The next second, Haman's face darkened, and he said, "I've given you a chance. Since you refuse to admit it, don't blame me."
Haman After saying that, he turned to look at the colleague who had just come in, then pointed at Zhang Wei and asked, "Does that gangster know him?"
The colleague nodded: "We showed him to the gangster. The gangster did know this Chinese man.”
Haman suddenly showed a triumphant expression, and then asked: “Are the gangsters coming for him?”
"According to the gangster's confession, they are indeed here for the Chinese!" The colleague nodded again.
"Haha, what else do you have to say!" Haman looked at Zhang Wei coldly, and then said: "I can give you another chance to explain clearly the criminal facts of your group. I can let you You serve as a tainted witness.”
“Our group? Where are the facts of the crime?” Zhang Wei complained in his heart, and then asked: “The gangster came for me. What? Money? "
"This..." The colleague glanced at Haman, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
“Say it!” Haman said confidently.
The colleague had no choice but to explain: "The gangster confessed. They saw the newspaper and knew that Mr. Zhang won a grand prize of 10.4 million euros by buying football lottery tickets, so they planned to kidnap him and extort a ransom from him."
"What? Just a kidnapping?" This time it was Haman's turn to be confused.
He always thought that there was a huge criminal group behind Zhang Wei, and those gangsters were Zhang Wei's associates. When he saw Zhang Wei being arrested, he came to rescue Zhang Wei, but he did not expect that this was just an ordinary incident. kidnapping case!
"It turned out to be a kidnapping! It seems that the security situation in Germany is quite bad. If you win the lottery or show your face in the newspaper, you are at risk of being kidnapped!" Zhang Wei made a sarcastic remark.
On the opposite side, Haman had a livid look on his face. He had made a mistake in judgment. Not only was he embarrassed, wouldn't his investigation of the criminal group also be in vain? How can I make progress?
"I understand, you have already reconciled your confession!" Haman showed an expression of sudden realization.
“Let me tell you, how did you become a senior agent with this IQ?” Zhang Wei couldn’t help complaining.
......
In fact, encountering the kidnappers was something Zhang Wei did not expect.
When Zhang Wei agreed to the gambling company to take photos for promotion, it was only a bonus of 650,000. Zhang Wei thought about the income situation in Germany. He should not kidnap people for blackmail for 650,000. He has the ability to steal a few luxury cars. Isn't it better to sell someone than to kidnap someone?
The Mercedes-Benz Big G sells for 200,000 euros in Germany, and the BMW 7 Series sells for 130,000 euros. If you discount the second-hand car in half, if you steal seven or eight cars, you can earn 650,000. And the sentencing for theft is definitely much lighter than kidnapping.
As a result, sixteen gaming companies joined forces and began to publicize that Zhang Wei had received a bonus of 10.4 million yuan. There was a huge difference between 650,000 yuan and 10.4 million yuan. As a result, kidnappers were attracted.
At this time, Zhang Wei was a little lucky, thanks to Haman coming to arrest him. Otherwise, how could he deal with the kidnapper holding a biubiu with his bare hands? At that time, you really have to exchange it with the devil for ten minutes of possession by the ace special forces soldier.
......Haman interrogated Lu Yunxiang again, but found nothing.
The two of them were innocent to begin with, and there was no criminal group behind them, so naturally nothing could be found in the trial.
Other colleagues brought another bad news to Haman.
“Boss, we went to the immigration department and asked. These two Chinese nationals entered the country through legal channels. Their visas are genuine, and the people corresponding to the visas are themselves, too. That is to say, there is no problem with the identity of these two people.”
The reason why Haman arrested the people was that he suspected that there was a problem with Zhang Wei’s identity. Now that it has been proven that there is no problem with the identity, there is no reason to continue to detain the person. Let go.
Haman looked depressed at the thought of letting him go. This is equivalent to spending a long time on his own, and almost getting shot. In the end, he caught nothing and only caught a kidnapper.
This is the Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation. They all went to the streets for a shootout. They made such a big fuss and only caught one kidnapper. It is very likely that they will become the laughing stock of their colleagues.
"Boss, do we want to release him?" the man next to him asked softly.
Haman looked at his watch: "According to regulations, we can detain him for another ten hours."
"But their identities have been verified, and we have no reason to continue to detain him." If so, he might cause trouble for us. He is a foreign tourist after all, and the embassy will intervene over time." His subordinates reminded him.
"Aren't they at the scene of a gun battle? Use this reason to detain him for a while." Haman took a deep breath and continued; "I will interrogate Zhang Wei again, maybe he will be exposed Flaws.”
...
Haman came to the interrogation room again and sat in front of Zhang Wei.
"Mr. Zhang, according to the evidence we have, there is a huge criminal group behind you. This criminal group is hidden in Italy and should be related to the Italian Mafia. You have obtained huge sums of money by manipulating European football matches.
We have reason to suspect that you are the main planner of this criminal group, so we will hand you over to the judicial department for prosecution. With the amount of crime we have, you may have to face thirty years. The above sentence. "
Haman decided to bluff Zhang Wei. He secretly observed the changes in Zhang Wei's expression while he was speaking, but found that there was no emotion on Zhang Wei's face.
"My psychological quality is good! When I heard about the thirty-year sentence, my face didn't change. This is definitely an important figure in the criminal group!"
Haman didn't know that Zhang Wei had not done anything bad, so naturally he didn't do anything bad. Feeling guilty, he made up his mind while continuing:
"If you bear such a heavy crime alone, your youth will be wasted in prison. You are still young and have great potential. Time, why do you want to give up thirty years of freedom? So I suggest you just be our tainted witness and correct the person behind you." "This is bluffing me!" Having seen through Haman, he smiled slightly: "Now that you have the evidence, what evidence do you have?"
"You will see it when you go to court."
< br>
"That means there is no evidence?" Zhang Wei pouted, and then asked: "According to German law, how many hours can you still detain me? In Germany, if you detain a foreign citizen without reason, don't you need to give an explanation?"
Zhang Wei’s two sentences hit Harman’s heart. Time and evidence were exactly what Haman lacked.
Although Haman's IQ did not occupy the high ground, he still had rich experience in interrogation. Even if he was hit in a vital point, he remained calm and calm.
"Mr. Zhang, please explain that you spent 800,000 euros betting on Italy to win the championship when the odds were the best." Haman asked.
"Is it illegal for foreigners to buy football lottery tickets in Germany?" Zhang Wei blinked and continued: "I asked the betting station when I was betting. Foreigners can bet, and there is no upper limit on betting. . If this is illegal, then the betting shop deceived me and you should arrest them.”
"Then why did you divide the 800,000 euros into sixteen bets and place bets with different bookmakers?"
"I was afraid that the amount of bets in one bookmaker would be too large, in case the bookmaker went bankrupt. , then I won’t be able to receive the bonus. So betting separately is also a way to share the risk," Zhang Wei said with an innocent look.
"Haha, this is 800,000 euros! Not 80 euros! All bets on Italy to win the championship? Do you think this is reasonable? Who in the right mind would do this? You must have had inside information a long time ago!"
Hamann repeatedly mentioned Italy, but Zhang Wei suddenly remembered one thing, and that was the Serie A phone scandal.
The Serie A phone scandal was a match-fixing incident involving many Serie A clubs. Because the team’s phone recordings were exposed, it was called the “phone scandal”.
The Serie A, which was known as the "Little World Cup" at that time, also came to an end because of this incident. From then on, Serie A could not be said to have been in a state of decline, but also suffered a serious loss of vitality. It can be said that this was the beginning of the decline of Italian football.
But what we report in the news is definitely only superficial content, and the water inside is definitely deep!
Italy is the base camp of the Mafia. How could only the team participate in this kind of incident? How could it be just a few team managers doing something? It is impossible to say that there is no bigger BOSS behind it. .
To extend it further, Serie A was the top league in the world at the time. If Serie A had this situation, did other leagues have this situation?
Football betting is an industry worth hundreds of billions in Europe. With such a huge profit drive, do you believe that other leagues are innocent?
There is no shortage of football leagues in Europe that have a history of a hundred years, and the history of gambling in Europe is as old as the European football leagues. How many interest disputes will be precipitated by a century of accumulation?
If nothing else, there is no shortage of scandals related to gambling in the history of European football.
Illegal peripheral gambling in the Premier League spread all over the world as the British colonized the world. Half a world away, you can place illegal peripheral bets in a bar in Lan Kwai Fong. How can you achieve this level without the support of anyone behind you?
At this moment, Zhang Wei instantly connected himself to the investigation and Serie A’s phone door.
“Could it be that the German football league also has problems, and the German Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau has already caught clues, and I won a huge bonus for betting on Italy to win, so I was affected!”
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Wei immediately made a decision not to have anything to do with the Italian phone scandal.
After all, the water is too deep in this matter! It's not something that a little Karami like me can mess with. If he is really involved, he might die without a burial place.
Maybe there really is a huge criminal group that controls the entire European football world behind the scenes and uses football leagues in various countries to obtain huge profits.
This kind of thing, even if you are not trapped in it, is still a little bit involved.
For a little Karami like me, it’s better to keep the relationship as clear as possible.
Zhang Wei instantly thought of a reason. He took a slight breath and then said; "The reason why I bet on Italy to win is the result of mathematical calculations."
"Mathematical calculations? Haha. ..." Haman showed an expression of "just make it up".
Zhang Weize continued: "Actually, I am a mathematician!"
"Haha!" Haman looked contemptuous.
"What? Agent Harman? Don't you believe it?" Zhang Wei looked calm, and then continued; "If you don't believe it, you can check my laptop. There is a file on the desktop. , which contains the formula for calculating which team will win the championship, which is my latest research result!”
Haman still looked unbelieving, but still asked someone to bring Zhang Wei's laptop.
On the desktop of the laptop, there happens to be an attachment to the email that Zhuge Xuegeng sent to Zhang Wei, which contains the calculation formula that Zhuge Xuegeng created.
When Haman opened the file, he saw that it was a long series of mathematical formulas that he could not understand at all.
“Can the World Cup championship really be calculated?” Harman didn’t believe it at first, but looking at these professional formulas, he fell into self-doubt.
Zhang Wei then continued: "Do you know the Kelly formula? The Kelly formula is a formula proposed by the physicist John Larry Kelly. This formula is an independent equation in which the expected net income is positive. An investment strategy that maximizes the long-term growth of principal through repeated gambling.
I know you don’t understand. Let me explain it to you in plain language. This formula can help gamblers win money, such as horse racing and blackjack gamblers in casinos. Many gamblers study this formula.
I conducted a more in-depth study based on this formula, and then conducted a series of precise calculations based on the odds offered by the bookmaker, and finally concluded that the Italian team must win! "
Zhang Wei repeated what Zhuge Xuegeng said that day, which made Haman stunned.
"Boss, this Chinese seems to be really a mathematician. Home, I think what he said makes sense! "The man next to him whispered.
"Do you understand what he said? "Haman asked.
"I didn't understand him at all, but just because I couldn't understand him, I thought he was a mathematician. If I could understand him, he wouldn't be a mathematician at all!" said his subordinate.
"It seems to make sense." Haman thought to himself.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room opened and someone else walked in. This person also had an envelope in his hand.
"Boss, when we were looking for Zhang Wei's laptop, we found this in his luggage."
"What is this?" Haman took the envelope.
"It's an invitation."
"What kind of invitation? A wedding? Or a funeral?"
"You'd better open it and see for yourself!"
Haman I opened the invitation letter and saw at the beginning that it was from the World Mathematical Union.
Looking at the content again, Zhang Wei was invited to attend the World Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid!
"I remember he bought a ticket to Madrid. Is he going to attend this mathematics conference? Is he really a mathematician?"
Looking at the next paragraph of the invitation, Harman was shocked.
"Accept this year's Fields Medal? Is the Fields Medal the Nobel Prize in mathematics? This Zhang Wei won the Fields Medal!"
