the next day.

Yan Qi came to the Yushijian.

An Sihai smiled when he saw Yan Qi coming: "I guessed you would come today."

Yan Qi handed over to An Sihai: "Yushi An is still as powerful as before. You scolded Zhang Yongwu yesterday, and Zhang Yongwu didn't even dare to fart. It's really domineering, domineering."

"That is!"

An Sihai was extremely proud of being praised by Yan Qi: "Although my body is getting worse and worse, my ability to curse others is getting better and better."

Yan Qidao: "I'll scare An Sihai first, and then chat with Yushi An."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

An Sihai took Yan Qi to the prison cell.

Zhao Yulin followed.

An Sihai said: "Ji Qiurong and Dai Ling are very cunning. I interrogated them yesterday and they were very tight-lipped about the list of members of the Flying Eagle Regiment."

Yan Qi smiled strangely: "Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong are indeed scheming people, and they are indeed outstanding hidden elites."

"They understand the problem very clearly. As long as they don't disclose the list of members of the Flying Eagle Regiment, they will be absolutely safe. I won't dare to kill them."

An Sihai sighed: "It's difficult to deal with. They seem to be very knowledgeable about interrogating cases and are very vigilant. Hey, I have never encountered such a difficult master. Even if I try to stop him, it won't work."

Yan Qi blinked: "It doesn't matter, I have a way to pry their mouths open."

An Sihai asked: "What can we do?"

Yan Qi smiled: "Have you ever heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma?"

An Sihai shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Yan Qi asked Zhao Yulin again: "Have you ever heard of the Prisoner's Dilemma?"

Zhao Yulin shook her head.

Yan Qi chuckled: "You two don't understand, but I do. I'm really a genius."

An Sihai and Zhao Yulin turned green.

How can there be such a stinky guy?

An Sihai couldn't help but asked: "Then tell me, what is the prisoner's dilemma?"

Zhao Yulin pouted: "It seems like such profound knowledge."

Yan Qi smiled: "Anyway, it was boring along the way, so I'll give you a little enlightenment. You should listen carefully. My lectures on such advanced theories are all paid. Today, I will tell you for free."

An Sihai was furious: "You bastard, please tell me."

Zhao Yulin was also anxious: "What is the prisoner's dilemma?"

Yan Qidao: "The prisoner's dilemma is a representative example of non-zero-sum games in game theory, reflecting that the best choice for an individual is not the best choice for the group."

"In other words, in a group, individuals make rational choices, but they often lead to collective irrationality."

An Sihai was confused: "What the hell? Game theory? What the hell is this?"

Zhao Yulin scratched her head in embarrassment: "Non-zero-sum game? Which country's term is this? Why does it sound like a heavenly book to me?"

Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I know you ducks are listening to thunder! Be patient and let me tell you an interesting story."

An Sihai and Zhao Yulin were tortured by Yan Qi's stinky fart.

However, they also want to hear what a zero-sum game is.

Yan Qidao: "After two thieves committed a crime, they were caught quickly and locked in different rooms for interrogation."

"The arrester knew that the two men were guilty, but lacked sufficient evidence."

"The arrester told everyone: If both of them deny it, each will be sentenced to one year in prison."

"If both men confess, each will get eight years in prison."

"If one of the two confesses and the other denies, the one who confesses will be released, and the one who denies will be sentenced to ten years."

"Thus, both thieves were faced with two choices: confess or deny."

"However, the strange thing is that no matter what the accomplice chooses, the best choice for each prisoner is to confess."

"If the accomplice denies, he will be released if he confesses. If he denies, he will be sentenced to one year. It is better to confess than not to confess."

"If the accomplice confesses, and if he confesses himself, he will be sentenced to eight years, compared with ten years if he denies it. Confession is still better than denial."

"As a result, both suspects chose to confess and were each sentenced to eight years in prison."

"If both of them deny it, each will be sentenced to one year, which is obviously a good result. However, smart thieves will never choose!"

After hearing this little story, An Sihai and Dai Ling looked at each other and were speechless.

The story is small, but thought-provoking.

An Sihai asked: "Why didn't they choose to deny it at the same time? Wouldn't this be the lightest crime?"

Yan Qi smiled: "So did I just say that the profound problem reflected in the prisoner's dilemma is that individual rationality can sometimes lead to collective irrationality."

"The smarter a person is, the more he will be trapped by his own intelligence and harm the interests of the collective."

"However, stupid and clumsy people can actually win in the prisoner's dilemma situation."

"This can also explain why some stupid people can stand in high positions and become the leaders of everyone."

Zhao Yulin was overjoyed when she heard this: "Brother Seven, I understand. When we interrogate Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong, we can use the Prisoner's Dilemma technique."

Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "Perfect! Obviously, Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong are both extremely smart people. The smarter the person, the more they care about personal interests, and the easier it is to fall into the prisoner's dilemma trap."

"But..."

Yan Qi asked Zhao Yulin: "Then do you know the prerequisite for bringing Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong into the prisoner's dilemma?"

"Know!"

Zhao Yulin said: "Separate Zhao Dailing and Ji Qiurong, prevent them from making confessions, and prevent them from seeing each other."

Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

An Sihai was also quite excited: "Interesting, really interesting. I'm going to separate them now."



Ji Qiurong and Dai Ling were discussing matters in prison.

They are extremely intelligent people.

Extraordinary insights.

Even though they were tortured by An Sihai, they still refused to fight.

Ji Qiurong lowered his voice and said to Dai Ling: "Yan Qi is here for the list. As long as we don't hand over the list, Yan Qi will never kill us."

Dai Ling nodded: "That's a good statement. Therefore, we must all be on the same page, that is, not to confess. At least, Yan Qi must let us go and talk about other things."

Ji Qiurong nodded: "At this time, we must cooperate."

Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong high-fived: "It's necessary, we are good brothers."

An Sihai came in first.

Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong were scared when they saw An Sihai, but they managed to stay calm.

An Sihai sneered: "You two are discussing how to collude in confession?"

Dai Ling and Ji Qiurong were very nervous, lowered their heads and said nothing.

An Sihai said: "Someone, take Dai Ling to Cell A."

"yes!"

The guards immediately escorted Dai Ling away.

Before leaving, Ji Qiurong wrote on Dai Ling's palm: "Don't recruit, stay consistent."

Dai Ling gave Ji Qiurong a look.

The two of them were relieved.

At the same time, they also realized that Yan Qi must be here.

Otherwise, where would they be separated.
