Qu Jianlei wanted to find Si Dangjia, but unfortunately, he did not have his contact information.
Then he thought of Tufuzi again, and didn't know how far the other party had reconciled with Bida.
It happened to be lunch time, so he contacted Xiangxue, and sure enough, she was with Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu did not mention what happened in the Anti-Smuggling Department. In her opinion, it was someone else's grudge and there was no need for her to interfere.
Seriously, she wanted to talk to Qu Jianlei about the mediation between the organization and Bida.
The two sides have almost reached an agreement. Now it depends on Panda’s attitude. Archaeological enthusiasts cannot ignore his opinions.
Qu Jianlei said that he didn't care. In fact, after Aaron revealed who was behind the scenes, he had made peace with him.
Moreover, the McGilln family was also killed by archaeological enthusiasts, so he has no regrets.
As for how the Tufuzi negotiated with Bida, he was not interested - it was up to the other party to decide whether the negotiation would be successful.
He just said that as long as you don't lose our momentum, everything else is not a problem.
Then he asked, have you found the organization that used Fengrui last time, or are there any relevant clues?
Aunt Liu knew very well that pandas had more contact with each other, but it was not surprising that pandas did not have relevant information.
They are all informal non-governmental forces. If you are willing, you can maintain appropriate contact. It is normal not to interact with each other.
Jianghu is a matter of Jianghu. After the matter is settled, it would be good to forget about each other in Jianghu.
However, archaeological enthusiasts have indeed discovered the contact point of the other party, and even plan to try to contact the other party after reconciling with Bida.
"...A lot of people in the organization are interested in this sharp technique. Do you have any suggestions, Master Panda?"
"You can contact me on your own," Qu Jianlei said that he was not interested in paying attention.
But he also did not forget to give a kind reminder, "It is best to pay attention to the methods."
He is also greedy for sharp skills, but there are too many things going on at the moment and he can't pay attention to them at all.
Anyway, it wouldn't be too late for him to discuss it with the native master once he got the technique.
After obtaining the contact point of the Living Dead Organization, he went to find it in the afternoon.
It was a barber shop, located in an inconspicuous alley.
When Qu Jianlei walked in, a little old man was sitting there, concentrating on cleaning the hairdressing tools.
When he saw him coming in, the old man didn't get up and asked without raising his head, "Would you like a haircut? Wait a moment."
"I don't know about the incisions of your living dead," Qu Jianlei replied very simply, "I'll ask the professor."
"Huh?" The old man raised his head and looked at him blankly, "What did you say?"
"You know what I'm talking about," Qu Jianlei said simply, "The professor once went to the School of Engineering to look for me."
"Lifelong College...where is that place?" The old man shook his head, looking confused.
"I'll wait for you outside the door," Qu Jianlei turned around and walked out, "I only give you ten minutes, don't make a mistake."
Seeing his figure disappear at the door, the old man frowned and his eyes flashed.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a palm-sized instrument and entered a string of characters.
Qu Jianlei waited outside the door for less than five minutes when the old man came out to greet him, "Please come in, distinguished guests."
Passing through the barber shop, there is a small, cramped room, only seven or eight square meters in total.
For Star 4, which is sparsely populated and sparsely populated, this small house cannot even be called a room, it is simply a dwelling.
However, this is a partition specially made by the old man for daily rest. It is extremely dark and dark.
With an owner who has no confidence in himself, this kind of house can easily make people feel uneasy.
Qu Jianlei didn't care. He felt it for a while and found no abnormalities in the elements, so he didn't bother to ask again.
Half an hour later, a crack opened on the opposite side of Xiao Hei, and a not-so-bright light shone in.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet walked up, unusually strong.
Seeing Qu Jianlei, he was slightly stunned, "Are you... a panda?"
This person's figure is somewhat different from that of the Fourth Master, but his aura cannot be concealed from others.
Qu Jianlei stood up after hearing this, raised his hand and said in his original voice, "I have seen the fourth master."
"Hey, they all told me to call me professor," the fourth master raised his hand and took off his helmet.
What he showed was not his true face, but his voice did not change, "How did you find this place?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "You can't hide this from anyone who cares. I have something I want to consult with you on."
He asked directly, but the Fourth Leader's attitude was also clear.
He nodded, "Easier to say, here or somewhere else? The shop owner is just a peripheral member."
"Then you've made the arrangements," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly.
The two of them did not go to any secret place. After leaving through the back door, they came to stand under a tree.
"You tell me," said the fourth master simply, "an open space is the safest place, and I just want to consult you on something."
Qu Jianlei asked in a low voice, "Do you still have contact with those star thieves now?"
"No more," the fourth master simply shook his head, looked around again, and then explained in a low voice.
"In the current Hope Star Territory, everyone is shouting for star thieves to beat me up. I jumped out of that circle, how could I possibly go back?"
Qu Jianlei blinked and continued to ask, "So, do you know some of the hidden secrets of Star Thieves?"
The fourth master hesitated and shook his head, "I am not responsible for this... The secret level of Anzi's information is generally very high."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he curled his lips depressedly, "Are you not as good as the archives of the Garden Department?"
"So it was you who did it?" The Fourth Master looked at him thoughtfully, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, you have the talisman for holding things... I know a few of the secrets listed there, but there may not be anything you want to ask about."
Qu Jianlei asked again, "Do you have any impression of Bassam from Star 1?"
The fourth master nodded when he heard this, "I know this. He seems to be a C-level person who dares to make any money. I haven't heard of him since."
"He is now a member of the Anti-Smuggling Department. His name is Erwin. Do you have any impression?"
"I have a bit of an impression," the Fourth Master nodded and replied nonchalantly, "The Anti-Smuggling Department and the Star Thieves... have a deep entanglement."
Qu Jianlei looked at him thoughtfully, "So you know of other secrets?"
The Fourth Master hesitated and nodded, "Yes, I can't tell you, so please bear with me."
"You found it yourself. I can't deny it, but asking me to tell you something you don't know is really inappropriate."
"Why?" Qu Jianlei broke the casserole and asked, in fact, this is his nature.
"You said you were going to clear things up, but now you are helping to hide it. Is it true that thieves are also wise?"
The fourth master didn't understand "there is a way among thieves", but he could more or less guess what it was.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How many people know the information you have, and the information I have... can easily expose me."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei nodded in realization, "In that case, I won't ask."
Then he asked, "Do you have any evidence that Erwin later colluded with the Star Thieves?"
The fourth master shook his head simply, "I ran in a hurry, how could I bring those things with me? It's not unfair to kill him anyway."
"Isn't it easy to kill him?" Qu Jianlei shook his head and expressed dissatisfaction, "I want the anti-smuggling department to be passive."
"The anti-smuggling department... is in a passive position?" The fourth leader's expression was a bit strange, "Colluding with the star thieves?"
He knew that Heitian was torturing the anti-smuggling department, so he didn't wonder why the other party had this idea.
Seeing Heitian nodding, he said simply, "Don't bother me. There are too many examples of the anti-smuggling department colluding with the star thieves!"
Seeing the surprised look on the other party's face, he said eloquently, "Most of them are tacit understandings, but there are also deliberate collusions."
Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully, "It's not surprising, you can imagine... You can rely on mountains and rivers to eat and drink."
"This metaphor is very appropriate," the fourth master nodded, and then his face sank slightly.
"But if you pop this pustule, it will cause big trouble. I'm not looking down on you..."
He shook his head slowly, then sighed, "The empire will not allow this kind of scandal to occur. You and your organization cannot handle it!"
Qu Jianlei was silent after hearing this, and after a while he asked, "Comparatively speaking, Erwin's incident is not a big deal?"
"Well," the fourth master nodded simply, "he is just a little chess piece."
"The people who betrayed the empire's interests in large quantities were the actual officials of the Anti-Smuggling Department."
At this point, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Do you think all officials in the empire are fools? It's just that no one dares to expose it!"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, this empire... is sick."
"You are a sensible person!" The Fourth Master gave a thumbs up, "More than just an illness? Countless silverfish are lying on the empire sucking blood!"
The sneer at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, "Most people think that the empire is thriving, who would think that it is declining?"
"I, a dignified military general, was forced to become a star thief. Can you understand my despair?"
"But the general trend is like this, including the Zarif scandal... What can you and I do? We can only do nothing!"
After a pause, he asked with great interest, "Do you still want to change it...can you do it?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "I just have to do my own thing!"
If you are rich, you can help the world, but if you are poor, you can live alone. Now that he has not settled down, what can he do if he thinks so much and has nothing?
He is not a person with great love, especially this empire does not give him any sense of belonging.
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly, because Xiaohu told him with his mind.
"That Coplin and Cornwell actually left the war zone!"
The Fourth Master saw a strange look on his face and thought he was frustrated by what he said.
"So there is no need for you to ask more about Erwin. I just want to ask, have you ever heard of archeology enthusiasts?"
The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched and he nodded slowly, "I have heard about this organization, what's wrong with you?"
The Fourth Master stared at him and spoke slowly, "They have been inquiring about our organization recently. Can you help me ask why?"
