Interstellar: Besieged

In front of Iriana's room, Ning Yao took out her special multi-function terminal and a data cable about two fingers long from her pocket, and connected to the electronic terminal next to the door while watching for anyone coming. password.

A green stream of data flashed quickly on the screen of the terminal, and the numbers froze for about three or four seconds before freezing on a series of six digits. With a 'beep' sound, a dialog box representing the unlocking of the password pops up, Ning Yao pushes the door open, and enters the room in a blink of an eye.

Except for the wine cabinet that almost covered half of the wall, the rest of Iriana's room was nothing special. The furnishings were simple, clean and generous.Because Ning Yao came here once before, she walked to the desk where Iliana usually piled up documents. According to her previous habit, she would put some things in a secret compartment under the desk.

Ning Yao squatted down, looked up at the bottom of the desk, sure enough, the almost invisible dark seam was still there.

The hairpin reappeared in Ning Yao's hand, and it was cleverly flipped along the gap.But after removing the covering sheet, another lock appeared in front of Ning Yao, but it didn't bother him, the pointed end of the hairpin hit the keyhole a few times, and the lock snapped open.Ning Yao stretched out his hand, and he pulled out a stack of documents.

He looked carefully and quickly one by one, and found that these were the records of the Black Wind Pirates' cargo transportation in recent years. Of course, most of them were records of stolen goods.Among them, several batches of goods were traded to a customer named 'HYC'.

HYC, isn't it the initials of edelweiss?

Ning Yao smiled, and used the terminal to scan all the documents related to edelweiss, and then put them back one by one in the original stacking order, and then locked the secret compartment again.

Pulling out the chair, Ning Yao sat down in front of the computer on the desk again, turned on the computer, and quickly operated on the keyboard with her ten fingers.Although Ning Yao's computer skills are not as good as Hong Jian's, she can cope with this situation.He kept searching the files in the computer according to keywords, but after 2 minutes, he got very little.

To put it bluntly, Iriana is bold and cautious. Now that everyone is relying more and more on electronic resources, she just likes to put paper documents in a dangerous and safe place.If it hadn't been for accidentally discovering the secret compartment like before, Ning Yao would probably come back disappointed today.But Iriana's computer was not empty, it was so clear that it made people suspicious, so Ning Yao still found something.

Not long after, Ning Yao looked at the time, and it has been 5 minutes since he came in.He never lingered long at the crime scene, he immediately got up and turned off the computer, restored everything to the same as when he came in, and then dexterously climbed into the ventilation duct through the wine cabinet.

The ventilation duct in this space dock is not too wide, but it is enough for Ning Yao to pass through. The most important thing is that it is still clean.So Ning Yao climbed along the pipe to the top of Victor's room without much psychological pressure.

There are always people guarding Victor's room, and the combination lock is much more difficult than Iriana's, so Ning Yao doesn't plan to rush directly.However, it seems troublesome to take the road of ventilation ducts.

Ning Yao took out a lens-like thing and put it in front of her eyes, looked down, hehe, a dense layer of infrared protective net was clinging to the ceiling, anyone who went down from here would surely set off an alarm.

At this time, a message from Chu Shuo came: Iliana went to see Victor, be careful.

As soon as Ning Yao glanced at the message, the door below was opened, and Victor, a burly man with a beard, walked in.Behind him was an eagle-eyed man, Ning Yao recognized him, Victor's confidant, Frank.

Frank fell behind, closed the door, approached Victor, and expressed his doubts full of worry, "Captain, first mate Iriana has been traveling around all year round, unlike us, she has to deal with the maritime police all the time. We can't get the goods back, can she get it back?"

"She has someone in the coast guard, and her relationship is much deeper than ours." Victor took off his hat, which was on the table anyway, with a slightly gloomy face.

Frank seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be the captain of the navy? It is rumored that he and our first mate also have a little... that kind of friendship."

"Hmph, what do you know?" Victor snorted coldly, and glanced at him half-warningly, "Iriana's backstage is much more solid than you imagined, you'd better not use any crooked brains to cause trouble for me."

"Yes." Frank felt a little guilty, and quickly agreed.

After finishing speaking, the two stopped talking, as if they were waiting for Iriana to come over.Ning Yao on the top of her head thought about it again. Illianna's backstage is hard?He hadn't investigated it carefully.It seems that there are far more secrets in the Black Wind Pirates than I thought. The mantras that the pirates uttered after drinking just now are indeed of some reference value.

Ning Yao was thinking, when Iliana came, her cheeks were blushing, but her expression was sober, she couldn't tell she was someone who had drunk too much wine.She walked in slowly, folded her hands on her chest, leaned against the table casually, and asked, "Captain, what do you want me for?"

"You don't need to ask, of course it's that batch of goods. Now the goods are in the hands of the coast guard, what do we have to hand them over?" Victor said in a deep voice.

Iriana smiled brightly, "But the Coast Guard's attitude is very tough this time. Even if I have great skills, I can't get the goods out of the Coast Guard's warehouse. Besides, how could the goods be lost? I clearly told you about the route. Be careful many times, I would rather not leave than lose the goods, when did you accept such stupid subordinates, captain?"

Iriana glanced at Frank next to her, with undisguised sarcasm in her eyes.Frank's face flushed immediately, but he dared to say Iriana behind his back, but he didn't dare to choke on her in front of her.And the goods were indeed lost in his hands, he could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath secretly.

"First officer, I was negligent this time, and I want to make amends. But I am just a subordinate, and I don't have so many skills. I don't know what you can do, first officer?" Frank lowered his posture. At this time, he tried his best to It is the right answer to show an attitude of sharing and solving problems for Victor.

"Me? What can I do?" Iriana shrugged. She couldn't see what was going on in Frank's mind?He's just a guy who does more than succeed. "I've said it all, the coast guard's attitude is very tough. Are you too stupid to understand what it means? The coast guard who has always turned a blind eye to us suddenly changed his attitude. Don't you You should first think about what's tricky here?"

Iliana reprimanded mercilessly, but Victor couldn't stand it anymore.No matter what Frank said, he was still his confidant, and Illianna said that, it was a bit embarrassing for him.

"Okay, Iriana, according to what you said, are we going to come back with this batch?"

"That's not necessarily the case, I need time to figure out what's wrong with the Coast Guard." Iriana fiddled with her long hair, and finally became serious, "But they won't give us so much trouble over there." A lot of time. If our line is exposed, controlled by the coast guard, or even more exposed, then with the character of the boss, he will directly throw Hei Feng as an abandoned child."

boss!Ning Yao's eyes lit up suddenly, sure enough, the Black Wind Pirates are a big fish, so it's worth his trip.Based on this inference, the boss uses the Black Wind Pirates as a transfer point to transport various supplies, so who is the specific contact person?Is it Victor?

No, although Victor is the head of the Black Wind Pirates, judging from the conversation just now and his emergency measures to call Iriana back, it should be the first mate Iriana who is in charge of communicating with the boss.And you can see from the way Victor and Iriana get along, they are almost in the same position when they talk, and Iriana is not in the group all the year round, wandering around, is it really for flair?

Ning Yao suddenly had serious doubts about this, just like he used to travel around the interstellar sea as a doctor, it was not really for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives, but a secret mission.And Iliana is now involved with the boss, so her previous behaviors need to be verified.

But now is not the time to think about it, Ning Yao suppressed the desire to find out in her heart and continued to observe.

"We've been working with him for five or six years, how could he throw us away so easily?" Victor frowned, his tone raised, and he had great doubts about Iriana's words.

Iriana smiled, her tone was light but full of weight, "Captain, let me remind you that the boss and us are never cooperating. Instead, we are working for the boss. We are subordinate and never equal."

Faced with Iriana's "quick talk", not only Victor, but Frank couldn't stand it any longer, with dissatisfaction piled up in his heart.They had never met the mysterious boss before, and the information they got was limited to Iriana's description, but, "Mate, we have done so much for the boss anyway, is he so ruthless?"

Facing Frank, Iriana definitely has no good face.Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows, and the condescending aura was fully opened, pressing on Frank's heart, "Ruthless? Do you think this is a three-year-old kid playing house wine? We are all pirates wanted by the government. Whoever is carrying the How many lives, you talk to me about being ruthless? If there is no boss, Heifeng can secure the third position, do you think that all the cakes in the world are given for nothing?"

Frank and her fighting power were obviously not at the same level, so they were blocked back after a few words.Victor raised his gloomy face at this moment, and looked at Iriana with sharp eyes, "Iriana, please contact me, I want to talk to the boss."

"That depends on what the boss wants." Iriana didn't feel embarrassed by Victor's gaze at all, and was still at ease, "I'll put the words first, the boss doesn't like to come to the front desk."

"I know." Victor probably also knew how harsh that boss was on *, and then told Iliana about the maritime police.

Ning Yao saw that it was almost done, reached into her pocket, and pressed a small red button.

Almost at the same time, a red alert was issued in the radar scanning area of ​​the dock's central control room.One person glanced at the area where the alarm was issued, stood up quickly, and shouted back: "An abnormal signal source was found in the room of First Officer Iriana!"

Within half a minute, Iriana received an alarm from the central control room, and her expression changed slightly.own room?Did someone sneak in?

"What's wrong?" Victor asked.

"My room is abnormal." Iriana turned around immediately, "I'll go back and take a look."

Iliana left quickly, and Victor's face became more serious.Problems in Iriana's room?How could there be a problem at this time? Thinking of this, Victor immediately ordered Frank, "You immediately ask someone to go to the chief mate to check the situation, and you can go to the central control room by the way."

"I'll go right away." Frank also left, leaving only Victor in the room.

The corner of Ning Yao's mouth twitched into a slight smile, the effect of this distraction was surprisingly good, Victor actually called Frank out.As for why there was an abnormal signal source in Iriana's room, it was of course that he dropped something there before he left.

But Ning Yao still lay on the ventilation duct and didn't move. The time hadn't come yet, and Victor was still standing there, not knowing what to think.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Yao quickly sent a message to John and Chu Shuo, and then continued to wait.

After about half a minute, Victor finally moved, and went to his desk to look through some documents.

After 2 minutes, Victor seemed to become more and more irritable as he thought about it, and began to pace the room impatiently.From left to right, then right to left, passed under the ventilation duct several times.

So, at a certain moment, Ning Yao's eyes lit up, and he tightened his hand on the iron window of the pipe opening and opened it carefully, without making any sound.The bars were lifted, and the first line of defense was cracked.

At this time, Victor was still three steps away from directly below the mouth of the pipe.

Ning Yao seized the opportunity and quickly threw down a ball-shaped object the size of a thumb.The ball touched the infrared protective net almost instantly, but the expected alarm sound did not sound, and the large red net suddenly flickered, and then disappeared strangely!

However, the disappearance time is only one second!

When the ball is thrown from Ning Yao's hand, it takes 0.2 seconds to touch the infrared rays, and the infrared rays are shielded by the ball for only 1 second, a total of 1.2 seconds is all Ning Yao's chance.And the moment he let go of the ball, he had already jumped down quickly.

In just one second, the infrared protection net seemed to flash for a moment, but Ning Yao passed through the net like a ghost.

The second line of defense, crack.

But at this moment, Victor heard something strange and immediately sensed that something was wrong. The vigilance he had cultivated over the years made him immediately reach out for his gun and turn around to search for the enemy at the same time.However, his hand had just touched the gun at his waist, and the moment the cold touch reached his fingertips, a small hairpin had already touched the main artery in his neck.

Victor's heart suddenly became cold, and he didn't dare to move rashly. He stared straight at the blurred figure projected on the metal wall in front of him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who... are you?"
