Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Chapter 2 Simple Solutions

Had it not been for the sincerity of the young man's voice, which hadn't sounded ironic, the Quarren would have smashed the table with his suction-cup fingers on the spot.

Mostima interrupted, "Have you seen that Mithrol man?"

"seen."

The Quarren couldn't help but ask, "Mithroel? Is that the Mithroel who claims to be a pastry chef in the President's Manor, but hangs out in bars and casinos in the lower city all the year round?"

Sean smiled and said: "Yes, thanks to your investigation report, I can directly target the target, which greatly reduces the workload."

"That Mithroel man is extremely cunning and dangerous, so be careful when touching him!"

Sean showed a deeply approving expression: "Yes, it is indeed extremely cunning. It took me two full hours to find him and ask him to explain the problem."

"..." The Quarren originally wanted to say that his elite agents failed to gain the trust of the Mithrol people after two full weeks, but he was choked up.

However, after all, that young man is also a Jedi, as long as he uses his original force skills, the Mithrol people will naturally know everything, and they can talk endlessly...

However, Mostima asked: "Didn't you use the original force skills?"

"Of course not. I have always kept Master's teachings in mind."

Wait, what are you master and apprentice teaching? Why not use the Force?

As if seeing the doubts of the Quarren people, Mostima explained: "Sean's talent for the Force is not good, and his sensitivity to the Force is only at the middle-to-lower level among the young disciples of the same period. So a On the one hand, let him feel the Force harder than others, and on the other hand, we must not let him develop the bad habit of relying too much on the Force. The Jedi is not a releaser of the Force."

Sean also showed shame on his face: "The three pillars of the Jedi, the force, knowledge, and self-control, I was born with one of my cripples. If I continue to rely on the force to do whatever I want, it will be grandstanding, making people laugh..."

"..." Quarren said, okay, you can say whatever you want, but since you didn't use the force, how did this young apprentice make that Mithroel speak? !

"I won all his money in the bar and casino he frequented, and I got him drunk, and he confessed everything."

The people of Quarren looked down at the report they had written by themselves back then, and there was such a record about the people of Mithrol: Multiple criminal experiences, extremely good at gambling, alcoholism...

However, as an agent of the Republic, the Quarren quickly cheered up and asked, "Did he explain the location of the manor?"

Sean said: "He explained his unique secret recipe for making Kashik seven-layer cake, and now I am confident that I can do it better than him!"

It's useful for you to let him explain the dessert recipe! ?

Sean explained: "It is precisely because of his secret recipe of desserts that he was favored by the chef of the manor and mixed into the manor. Now that I am doing better, I can replace the Mithrowers at any time and mix into Luluoqiu's. The manor has become a pastry chef..."

The Quarren couldn't help interrupting the conversation again: "Wait, the President's Manor is in Luluoqiu?!"

"Yeah, it's just in the northeast of the hills, and it's easy to find."

"Did the people from Mithroel tell you?"

"No, I followed him and found it."

"...Follow him and you will find the manor!?" Quarren asked, looking at the report document in his hand, which recorded bloody records of countless elite agents trying to track down the staff of the manor, and then disappeared from the world.

"Yeah, before I formally contacted him, I spent a few standard days tracking the whereabouts of the Mithrol people, and found that he would go to the manor through different paths every time, and then suddenly disappeared halfway, completely unrevealed. And continue If you follow it up, there will be a great risk of exposure.”

The Quarren nodded again and again, and finally heard the part that matched the investigation report!

"However, this seemingly hidden method reveals the essence, because as long as you carefully observe the place where he disappeared, it is not difficult to find that there must be sewers or similar underground facilities around. Then it is not difficult to judge that there must be many sewers nearby. The secret passage formed leads directly to the manor."

Young man, your "not difficult to judge" is really a bit out of line!

"Actually, this method of building secret tunnels is not uncommon. Twenty-seven related cases have been recorded in the "New Secret Service Handbook" published on Corellia, all of which were private manors that were not visible. Peripheral staff. So I quickly found the construction party of the urban sewer, retrieved all the construction drawings from the database for comparative analysis, deduced the location and structure of all the underground passages, and finally locked the location of the manor. Overall In other words, the dictator of this fringe galaxy has a very simple way of thinking."

The Quarren people silently deleted all the documents of the report, and decided not to mention the work of the past few years to anyone again.

Sean was still talking enthusiastically: "Also, according to my investigation, after 5 standard days, the president will host a banquet for many mafia tycoons in his private residence. I think this is a good opportunity to act!"

Mostima reached out and tapped the table, pondering: "After 5 standard days? It is indeed an opportunity."

The people of Quarren were shocked when they heard the words: "Master, are you going to behead Jamie's criminal group directly?"

This time, the two Jedi looked at him strangely at the same time.

Sean explained earnestly: "How is it possible? The Jedi should not take the initiative to provoke disputes, let alone assassinate the legal head of a regime. We have worked hard to collect clues and evidence in order to allow him to receive a fair trial before the law and arrest him. The crimes committed by the government are made public, allowing the concept of justice and peace to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Resisting violence with violence will only give birth to a new lawless dictator."

The Quarren people were ashamed to hear this, and felt that their understanding of the spirit of the rule of law was not deep enough.

But soon he had another question: Since it was not for the purpose of beheading, what kind of good opportunity is the manor party in 5 standard days? In other words, why wait until five standard days later, just sneak into the manor and investigate the evidence?

Sean said: "A person who is cautious enough will not leave conclusive evidence even in his own manor."

The Quarren couldn't help questioning: "The existence of that manor alone constitutes a crime! With the legal salary of the president, even a thousand years can't afford the manor of Luluoqiu, let alone the fact that he made a political show in Coruscant." At that time, he once claimed that his annual expenses were less than 5,000 credits! Not to mention the rumors that his mansion is extravagant, with all kinds of rare treasures..."

"He can infer that the manor is owned by others, and he is only staying here temporarily. In fact, according to my investigation, the owner of the manor is indeed the major shareholder of Bergamore Heavy Industry Group, not the president himself."

Have you checked out everyone in the manor in just a few days! ?

The people of Quarren were not reconciled, and asked again: "But as long as he lives in the manor for a long time, he will always leave evidence of crimes, right? Or personal or physical evidence..."

"There is a certain possibility, but I think a criminal who is cautious enough will not let down his vigilance even in his own home, leaving opportunities for outsiders to take advantage of. For example, he will use code words or even secret words to issue illegal orders, so that Even if it is recorded, it cannot be used as direct evidence."

"..."

"In addition, with regard to the witnesses in the manor, it is reasonable to believe that a sufficiently cautious criminal will conduct risk management on all positions involved in risk, so that they will not have access to the complete crime process, and will not even realize that they are carrying out the crime. Therefore, it cannot constitute strong criminal evidence. At the same time, multi-level task assignment and single-line contact will be implemented, so that even if some of the links are cracked, it will be difficult to really trace back to the president himself.”

The people of Quarren were so weak from hearing it, and Jamie Brason was not crazy! Who would arrange such meticulous and complicated risk management in their own manor? Isn't he afraid of dying from overwork? !

Sean said sternly: "Jamie Brason is an extremely dangerous dictator. This kind of person is usually accompanied by strong paranoid personality and even mental illness, which will cause their behavior to be unreasonable. It can’t be overestimated. After all, he is the culprit who made the Republic’s elite agents go down the drain for many years.”

The people of Quarren immediately burst into tears: Your words are so reasonable, I can't refute them!

But you estimate the risk so high, how can you carry out the task?

"The gathering after 5 standard days is a flaw." Sean said, "He can hypnotize the subordinates in the manor and use code words to communicate in the manor, but when facing gangsters with similar status, he may have to communicate in Mandarin. gone."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mostima: "The possibility that they use complex communication devices cannot be ruled out. They each use code words and use the encryption and decryption of the communication devices to reach an agreement. As long as the devices are destroyed afterwards, there will be no leave evidence."

"Yes, Master, I have also considered this possibility, so I will come to the scene in person after 5 standard days, and put Jamie Brason in a state of stress where he cannot use code words."

Mostima nodded: "Very well, then I will leave it to you."

"It's not good at all!?" The Quarren couldn't help but interrupted, "Master, you mean to let Sean perform the infiltration mission? The risk is too high!"

Mostima said sternly: "I know that if the Jedi Knights carry out this kind of infiltration investigation mission, and the target is a legitimate regime leader, there will definitely be problems with the confidence of the final result, especially if we also use the Force to Guiding people's thinking is more likely to cause controversy. Once you confront a luxurious lawyer team in court, it is easy to be criticized. The risks in this area must be investigated. You are right to remind. So Sean, you must Remember, in the process of infiltrating the investigation, don't use the Force indiscriminately."

"I understand, Master."

The Quarun man cried: I'm sorry Master, I don't understand! Are we really talking in Basic? Why do I always feel that your master and apprentice are communicating in some kind of encrypted code language! Do you really understand what I mean?

Jamie Brason's manor, it is a dragon's den and a tiger's den that have been kept strictly secret for many years. The authoritarian maniac has operated it for decades. I don't know how many traps there are in it. Master, you actually let a 17-year-old apprentice , sneaked into it to investigate the criminal evidence without using the force, and even chose the day when the mafia tycoons gathered to start the operation? !

Mostima looked at the Quarren again: "So, do you have any suggestions for Sean's infiltration plan?"

Sean looked at him expectantly, too.

The Quarren felt like his tentacles were about to burst.

Don't look at me like that, I really don't understand your Jedi world! Add difficulty to explosion for yourself, and then ask me if I have any suggestions? Yes, let's open it! No, you Jedi even consider basic force applications as cheats, and you have sealed yourself off!

What else is there to say?

"Here, be more careful and be safe." The Quarren said dryly.

Sean thanked him earnestly: "I understand! The more complicated and difficult the task, the more you need to pay attention to the basics. You are worthy of being an elite agent of the Republic. His words are concise and direct to the core."

Quarren: "Hehe."

Mostima asked Sean: "Do you have a preliminary action plan for the actions in five standard days?"

"Yes." Sean said, "Although the specific plan needs to be adjusted according to local conditions, based on the existing information, I have formulated a rough framework. I will share the content, please correct me."

After that, Xiao En reached out to operate on the communication ring, and with the flashing lights on the bracelet, a huge data stream began to be transmitted rapidly.

after a long time.

The Quarren couldn't help tapping on his display screen: "Is there a problem with the communication? It shows that the file has not been received yet."

Mostima said: "Don't be impatient, the action plan files are usually relatively large, and the transmission will take time."

Quarren was dumbfounded: the file is relatively large? This channel can transmit an entire galactic encyclopedia in ten seconds. Now that five minutes have passed, are you sharing the global structure map of Coruscant with more than five thousand floors and one trillion inhabitants? !

Finally, when the Quarren began to feel anxious, the green indicator light finally lit up next to the screen, indicating that the communication was complete, and the Quarren clicked on the file with trembling fingers.

What catches the eye is dense documents and video clips as numerous as stars. These contents are connected by complicated line segments of different colors, forming a dazzling and complex network.

The first reaction of the Quarren people was that you really sent the structure diagram of Coruscant! ? This is called a rough frame? Your rough definition is a naked violation of the basic language of the Republic!

But he held back.

Sure enough, Mostima pondered for a while, and then said: "The content is indeed a bit brief, but it is barely acceptable at this stage. I will help you improve the content, so let's implement it first."

"yes!"

Mostima looked at the Quarren again: "Mr. Squak, do you have anything to add?"

The Quarren added: "Hehe."
