Chapter 371 Ready-made scapegoat

Watching the girls leave like this, Locke smiled and went to the smaller casino alone.

The largest casino on the Argo is on the fifth floor, but it only covers a relatively large area. The number of bets placed in a single game is definitely far less than that of the casino here. Although there are only a dozen tables in total, they are all in four figures. Get started.

"You don't mind adding someone." He swiped his card for 100,000 chips, came to a gambling table, and sat down in front of a Texas Hold'em poker table: "Will you bother me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the female gambler next to him. Although she looked completely different, Locke knew that she was Lorraine.

"If you want to give money away, I don't mind." The female gambler played by Lorraine pointed at the chips on the table in front of her. It seemed that she had won a lot.

The other three people looked at it and had no objection. As for the dealer, it was even less likely to push the gamblers out. He nodded to Locke and started a new round.

The croupier was dealing the cards there, and it was his turn. The middle-aged man with a colorful mustache who was sitting opposite Locke laughed, threw a thousand chips in front of him, and said to Locke, who was obviously very young. : "Young man, don't go to your mother if you lose!"

The fat man next to him didn't say anything, and also lost a thousand chips, followed by the man with a white beard next to Locke, who also lost a thousand chips.

"Thanks for reminding me, but it's not easy to lose all my pocket money."

Locke was just playing casually and didn't care about this simple provocation. He casually threw in five thousand chips. In his eyes, these three people were all fat sheep. They actually came to them. He really couldn't let them go: " Five thousand.”

Lorraine glanced at Locke, smiled and chose to discard the cards. Since Locke wanted to play, there was no need for her to get involved.

"Oh my god, kid, maybe I can teach you some rules. This is not how you play at the gambling table. You just press the cards without even looking at them." Mustache continued to provoke and directly followed the five thousand chips.

The other two people also followed. They saw Locke's behavior and felt that Locke was the fat sheep who was rushing to give away money.

Still not intending to look at the hole cards, Locke picked up a 10,000 chip, rolled it on his fingertips, and then casually threw it into the gambling pool: "I read the horoscope today, and luck is on my side, so there is no need. Look at the cards.”

"..."

"I'm sorry, but as expected, today's horoscope is on my side." Locke smiled and squinted his eyes, casually placing the 20,000 won chips in front of him, looking at the mustache opposite him: "I won by luck."

"Xie Te!" His casual attitude made Mustache throw out the last card dealt. It was a good hand, but because the last card was lost, Mustache was in a bad mood and waved towards The waitress next to her said: "Beauty, bring me a glass of whiskey."

The beautiful waitress came over with a tray, and then there was a snap and the waitress's exclamation as her butt was slapped.

Mustache stared at Locke and said in a seemingly casual tone: "It seems that there will be blood in the sea today."

"It doesn't matter to me how you want to play." Locke smiled. Anyway, if you insist on it, he will definitely not be the one who loses and jumps into the sea.

The time of playing cards passed very quickly. Although the mustache said harsh words, he was still quite rational. When he lost 300,000 US dollars, he stopped in time and left the gambling table without knowing where to vent his anger. The unhappiness in my heart is gone.

Then, Locke also got up and went to the sitting area with Lorraine, tasting the drinks provided by the waiter and chatting softly.

"How did you know the whereabouts of Carlot Youying and choose to take action on the cruise ship?" Locke asked.

"It's a rare opportunity to find business that comes to you." Lorraine adjusted the shoulder straps of her white dress, leaned next to Locke, looked around, and said casually: "Canton, the owner of this cruise ship, felt it because of the bank loan. Stressed, so wanted to cause an accident."

When Canton built this cruise ship, which is claimed to be the most luxurious in the world, it was naturally impossible for him to use all his own money. Most of the funds actually came from bank loans.

Although his reputation is not small, if you calculate it carefully, his net worth is only two to three hundred million, which is naturally far from enough to build this cruise ship.

In order to build the cruise ship, he took on a huge loan. Although judging from the fact that the cruise ship is full, he is still making money. If it continues, he can still pay off the loan, but this will also take a long time.

However, two loans were about to expire, and he did not have enough money on hand to repay them. At the same time, banks were unwilling to provide new loans, which caused problems in his capital chain.

As the repayment date approaches, he has not found a new source of funds. He sees that the newly built cruise ship may be repossessed and auctioned by the bank. In this case, the money obtained may not even be enough for him to repay the loan. At the same time, his own investment It’s all wasted, which is equivalent to having nothing right away.

Naturally, there are some people behind this. Seeing that he is short of funds, they are eyeing this piece of fat. The other party has a lot of background, otherwise Mr. Canton will not be able to completely find new sources of funds, but naturally he will not Maybe willingly.

So he thought of letting the cruise ship have an accident, encounter 'robbers' and then be sunk, so that in addition to getting a ransom, he could also get compensation from the insurance company.

While looking for 'professionals', he happened to find the head of the organization established by Lorraine. Especially when he discovered that Carlot Youying was also on the passenger list of the first flight, Lorraine took over without hesitation. Got this 'business'.

"Tomorrow night, when the cruise ship goes deep into the high seas, Mr. Canton will be responsible for destroying the cruise ship's control system. Then my people will come to the cruise ship by boat and kill Carrot Yoying."

"This cruise ship is not small. How many people have you prepared?"

"Twenty-one people are arranged on the cruise ship to take control of key control rooms and other places as soon as possible. There are also 87 people who will come on the ship after there is a problem on the cruise ship. It is enough to control the situation." Lorraine said :

“At that time, the entire system of the cruise ship will be paralyzed and become an isolated island. I have already obtained the comprehensive design drawing of the cruise ship and have a complete plan.

Those passengers and attendants in the ordinary cabin are not my target. I will lock them in the cabin. The key is the passengers in the luxury cabin. After this success, the organization will not be short of funds for at least a long time. Many The plan can now be implemented. "

"In other words, I will also be your 'kidnapping' target?!"

"That's true." Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Does Mr. Locke think he is worth 100 million US dollars?"

"Then I took advantage of it, but have you thought about how to get out of it?"

Locke really didn't expect Lorraine to plan to do such a big thing. As expected of Lorraine, she was actually planning to do such a big thing in order to raise funds.

Most of the passengers in the luxury cabin of the cruise ship were rich or noble. If money was deducted from them, they would inevitably face various severe crackdowns afterwards. She must have understood this, but she didn't know what she was prepared for.

"The CIA will not track a group of 'dead people', and isn't Mr. Canton a ready-made scapegoat?" Lorraine said confidently.
