Chapter 110: Premonition
“Thank you so much.”
"We were so rude before, but we looked like that to our savior. We really don't know how to apologize."
In the observation room of the smuggling boat, the merchant and his wife sincerely apologized to Wang Ye repeatedly.
A day ago, the smuggling boat encountered the Oasis Pirates. In times of crisis, Wang Ye felt the bright spot of the human nature of the couple and took the initiative to help. With his hands and feet raised, a medium-sized pirate group was wiped out. However, this shocking power scared the couple. Thinking of the many legends of the super warriors in the Wandering Star Domain, the two almost ran away in a panic.
But looking back, both husband and wife regretted it. No matter how bad the reputation of the super warrior was, Wang Ye was the benefactor who saved their lives. And their attitude towards the benefactor was really inappropriate.
"We are businessmen, we have nothing to do, and only this insignificant thing can be used to express gratitude and apology. Please do not refuse."
As the husband said, he handed over a bill of lading.
Wang Ye glanced at it and found that it was about 300,000 yuan worth of goods. This number was quite pleasing. It would not hurt the couple, but it was enough to express their sincerity. Wang Ye was not short of money, and the merchants and his wife could obviously see this. This bill of lading was a heart. And compared to money, Wang Ye valued his heart more.
So he took the bill of lading very generously and nodded: "It's no big deal, just go through the past."
"Thank you so much." Seeing Wang Ye put away the book of lading, the couple felt relieved. It was hard to feel at ease if they could not do this.
After the atmosphere relaxed, Wang Ye took the initiative to ask: "How long have you lived in Bird Star?"
"It's almost forty years. We are local residents of Bird Star. Look, this is our birth certificate." The husband seemed to care more about the credibility of his words and specially took out his and his wife's birth certificate. Wang Ye took a look and found that it was indeed a birth certificate issued by Bird Star government.
This was also the first time he saw the couple's name.
Although both of them are typical white people, they use the Chinese name, the man is Shi Di and the woman is Jiarong. This has gradually become a normal state after humans entered the galaxy era and China gradually rose to become the most powerful country. Wang Ye has seen it a lot in the wandering star field, and it is not surprising.
After reading the birth certificate, Wang Ye asked again: "What about interstellar trade?"
"It's been almost twenty years. My wife and I started to board the boat and trade as soon as we came out of school." Sty replied, "During this period, I tried to explore other trade routes, but in the end I was still stable on the line between Bird Star and Oasis Space Station. It has been working for fifteen years."
"Since that's the case, you should know Oasis Space Station very well?"
Sty hesitated for a moment: "If you know it very well, I'm afraid there is no question. After all, we are just businessmen..."
"How much do you know about Jack?"
When it comes to this name, the couple's faces are obviously unnatural.
"No one who has lived in Oasis Space Station has never heard of his name... He is the guardian of Oasis Space Station. With his extremely high skills and strength, he protects this space station to flourish in an environment of pirates. He is the founder of the rise of Oasis Space Station."
Wang Ye started laughing halfway through hearing this, making the Stils and his wife embarrassed.
"Okay, we know these are clichés..." Sty hesitated for a moment, "As far as I know, he has a close relationship with the pirates around the Oasis Space Station. Although there is no clear evidence, many things have been seen over the years. For example, the deputy stationmaster Joffrey, fifteen years ago, wanted to propose the replacement of the sheriff, but when the vote was proposed, the spacecraft he was riding was attacked by pirates and his body was gone. For example, ten years ago, a big businessman wanted to unite the surrounding areas and clear the pirate group, but he himself was a bizarre assassinated by pirates near the space station... None of these things can prove that they have to do with Jack, but the ultimate beneficiary is Jack. So many people suspect that the pirates are his lackeys. His so-called expulsion of pirates and defending peace is simply a scene of collusion between inside and outside."
Wang Ye asked: "So why can Jack drive a group of lawless pirates like lackeys?"
"This... I just heard from you. It is said that Jack himself is a super warrior and his strength is extraordinary. And there is a huge organization behind him. Even if the pirates are not afraid of Jack, they are also afraid of the organization behind him."
"The organization behind Jack?" Wang Ye suddenly became interested. Even Maryland had never mentioned this news to him.
"We don't know the specific situation. We just happened to deal with people from the pirate group and heard them mutter a few words when they were drunk."
Jiarong said: "I remember the conversation clearly at that time. One person said that no matter how strong Jack is, he is just a lonely person. Are so many of us going to be ordered by him alone? Then his companion said, Jack is not scary, what is scary is the people behind Jack. Unfortunately, we only heard so much."
"Okay, so how much do you know about Jack's men? He can't contact so many pirate groups by himself."
Sty said: "Of course some of his confidants handled these chores for him, such as Deputy Sheriff Jones, who has been dealing with dirty work for him for ten years. After the death of the previous deputy sheriff, Jones was his most capable subordinate. We have also been in contact with him once or twice. We are not a good person to deal with, but we are very capable. Our one-eye seems to be able to see through people's hearts."
"One-eyed Jones, I remember." Wang Ye nodded, "Is there any more?"
"There are many people working for Jack in the Oasis Space Station, but they are really confidant and worthy of attention. There are only three or five people who are worthy of attention... My wife and I will recall it and organize a document for you."
"Thank you then."

Wang Ye is actually not in a hurry to lack information from the Oasis Space Station.
Maryland himself is the best source of intelligence, but it is obvious that Wang Ye cannot put all his bets on one person. In addition to Maryland, he also needs to obtain intelligence from other channels to confirm the two.
The merchant couple at least proved that the Oasis Space Station sheriff Jack was indeed behind the Pirates, and also provided a new information - there was a larger organization behind Jack, which aroused Wang Ye's high interest.
Afterwards, Wang Ye logged into the Galaxy Network through the equipment on the spacecraft and used his intelligence merchant's account to try to collect a wave of intelligence. Unfortunately, although there is a lot of information about the Wandering Star Domain, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Many reputable merchants are even selling fake intelligence openly. Looking for answers in such places is like shopping in Xhu. There are a group of novel writers who love role-playing under each question. All you can do is find a relatively pleasing answer and then convince yourself to believe it...
Although Sty and Jiarong are just trivial businessmen, they are local natives who have been rooted in Bird Star and Oasis Space Station for more than ten years, and they always have a say in the matters of these two places.
The couple was very efficient in their work. That night, they sorted out a manuscript worth tens of thousands of words with exhaustion on their faces.
Everything they knew about Oasis Space Station was written on it, and the primary and secondary were clearly distinguished and detailed. Among them, Wang Ye was very concerned about Jack and his men. What they could determine, most likely confirm, hearsay... All the information was sorted out in categories, and the content was unexpectedly rich.
This couple is indeed capable of saving millions of wealth through normal means in ghost places like Wandering Star Domain and getting the opportunity to immigrate to developed countries. Just this ten thousand words book is worth millions in Wang Ye’s opinion.
When Wang Ye began to study this ten thousand words book seriously, at the distant Oasis Space Station, one-eyed Jones also received the bad news that the pirate regiment was wiped out.
——
Jones, the deputy sheriff of Oasis Space Station, is also the policeman who is recognized as the least looking policeman.
He was hunched over and thin with his limbs. He was less than 1.6 meters tall when he stood, but he had a huge head and equally huge eyes. One of them was blind. Jones did not choose to change the biochemical eye, but used an eye mask to cover the blind eye, which made the remaining right eye look like a deformed and huge.
Many people rumor that the soul of the person staring at by this one-eyed eye will be hooked out.
However, it was such a terrifying monster who was like a biological beast who was silent at this time, and a cold sweat gushed behind him.
This is a simple and simple office. The walls are piled up of discarded metal sheets, with a layer of yellow and worn wallpaper, and a layer of cheap carpet on the ground. In the middle of the office is a metal table, and a tall middle-aged man sits behind the table, looking at Jones coldly.
"You just said, Fallon and the others have completely lost contact?"
Jones looked down and said, "Yes, sir, it's twelve hours since the last time we received their communication. We have been collecting their news from two hours ago and have found nothing."
"What then?" The middle-aged man asked a simple question, causing Jones' head to hang lower.
Jones said: "I doubt that Falion and the others encountered some accident. Although the group of people were unruly, they would never dare to betray..."
"I know, there is no need to say this nonsense. I don't want to hear your explanation, I just want to know what you are going to do next."
"I have sent someone to investigate the situation in the star area where they lost contact. Once clues are found..."
"Wrong." The middle-aged man slapped the table, causing Jones to tremble all over. "There is no need to care about how they lost contact. I can support three or four more people like Fallon, including the ridiculous fleet he is proud of. In my opinion, these miscellaneous things will end up dying sooner or later. It doesn't matter how they die. It doesn't matter who kills them either. What's important is who should give them the tasks they have to do?"
Jones was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I know, sir, within three days, I will definitely prepare the funds!"
"It's good if you understand. You should be very clear about the significance of this fund and you must not lose it. In three days, if you can't do it at that time, you will fill the gap."
