Yang Zicang is an ordinary security investigator of the Capital Star Garrison Fleet. His main job is to be responsible for the safety inspection of starships entering and leaving the Capital Star 3 Airport every day. A few weeks ago, when he arrived at Airport 3 early in the morning, he was shocked to find many unfamiliar faces in the airport's Security Investigation Department office. A dozen colleagues who had arrived early were looking at unfamiliar faces with complicated eyes. They did not appear to be from Charno. As more and more staff from the Security Investigation Department appeared, a hint of hostility began to gather in the sky above the Investigation Department.
"What are these people doing here?"
"Maybe the "Holy Alliance" will start taking over the security inspection of the airport."
"Oh, are we going to be laid off?"
The other investigators around started whispering. Yang Zicang and several older investigators stood in a corner of the office hall of the Security Investigation Department. No one liked these new faces.
¡°Zicang, it looks like we are going to lose our jobs.¡± Xie Shihui, Yang Zicang¡¯s colleague and friend, said with a shrug.
"It might be better if we really lose our jobs. I'm afraid we will have to face these annoying faces every day in the future." Yang Zicang looked helplessly at the newcomers who stood neatly like robots and worked with such people. It must be very boring.
What happened next was as Yang Zicang expected. Their leader, accompanied by an officer, walked into the office hall with clear walls. Yang Zicang found that his short, fat boss who always looked like a good old man looked a little different today. His fat face was exaggeratedly distorted, and the corners of his eyes were twitching uncontrollably, as if he had just experienced a fierce quarrel, and he was still breathing heavily when he spoke. This changed his view of himself as a typical bureaucratic leader. After a few minutes of brief speeches, these damn "fanatics" became the new members of the Security Investigation Department. Looking at the "fat man" staggering away, Yang Zicang felt a little desolate in his heart. For some reason, he suddenly remembered a word that could only be seen in primary education history textbooks: "colony."
"Zicang, what are you thinking about? You won't answer even if I call you." The colleague's questioning interrupted Yang Zicang's thoughts. He couldn't help but cast his gaze into the distance. The investigators of the Holy Alliance were meticulously inspecting the landing at the airport. space vehicle. Compared with the past, there are less than one-third of the number of aircraft parked on the empty airport apron. There is a weak flight announcement on the public channel in the arrival and departure hall, repeating the arrival time of the next flight over and over again.
"It's nothing, there's nothing to do anyway." The feeble broadcast seemed to have affected Yang Zicang, and he replied feebly.
Since the investigators of the "Holy Alliance" joined the Security Investigation Department, they, the real investigators, have become idle. The war destroyed Charno's domestic trade system, and all materials and minerals were included in the strategic materials list and were uniformly allocated by the country. The daily throughput of the airport is also much lower than before. Except for the interstellar shuttles for public transportation, it is difficult to find domestic businessmen among the space vehicles docked at the airport. Most of the time, investigators can only sit in the office bored and dazed. The pan-interstellar multinational trading company has many more spacecraft than usual. Giant transport ships carrying various urgently needed materials for Charno frequently land at the airport. However, these businessmen with profound backgrounds are not small security investigators. Can afford it. Watching those "Holy Alliance" investigators being scolded by Pan-Interstellar's businessmen every day has long become a "reserved program" for genuine investigators to pass the time.
"Look." The colleague poked the listless Yang Zicang, "Those people seem to be our businessmen."
Yang Zicang turned his head and looked in the direction of his colleagues' fingers. Several luxurious interstellar shuttles had just landed at the airport. Several security investigators from the "Holy Alliance" were leading the airport military police around a middle-aged man who had just gotten off the interstellar shuttle, asking him something. Behind the middle-aged man, several sturdy men were holding their hands and watching with cold eyes. It seemed that the negotiation between the two parties was not going smoothly. Yang Zicang clearly saw the middle-aged man raising his hands high and waving them. He looked excited.
"Let's go and have a look." Yang Zicang's sluggish spirit was cheered up. The fact that the Charno people's own businessmen were interrogated by investigators from other countries at the airport made him feel a little angry. When he stood up, he was shocked to find that more colleagues were rushing towards the interstellar shuttle where the quarrel was taking place. Apparently many people had the same idea as him.
In the blink of an eye, the conflict on the tarmac has escalated. The burly men who were standing quietly behind the middle-aged man intervened in the conflict at some point. One man standing at the front even raised his hand and slapped the security investigator of the "Holy Alliance" who was still entangled. superiorAfter a while, the investigator fell to the ground - he was knocked unconscious by the other party's palm. Several other investigators from the "Holy Alliance" immediately rushed forward, seeming to want to forcibly control the other party. The airport military police who followed them quietly took a few steps back. All the Charno people had no good impression of these outsiders. Generally speaking, these businessmen who wander around the stars every day have their own armed escorts. Whether they are mercenaries or their personal forces, the combat effectiveness of these escorts cannot be underestimated. Even well-trained soldiers would find it difficult to gain the upper hand in a single fight. In the eyes of the airport military police, what these somewhat agitated investigators of the "Holy Alliance" did was simply looking for abuse. This is also true. Yang Zicang and his colleagues have not even approached the location of the conflict, but the sturdy men of the merchant escort have already swept away the alliance investigators surrounding them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. land. The leading man clapped his hands easily, as if he had just done an insignificant thing. He even grinned at the airport military police who were obviously watching indifferently, with a knowing smile on his face. But when the smile appeared on his face, no matter how you looked at it, it had a hint of ferocity.
"What's going on?" Yang Zicang pushed aside the airport personnel blocking the front and asked calmly.
His colleagues kept the alliance investigators who had just rushed from everywhere away from the crowd without leaving any trace, preventing them from approaching. Several alliance investigators loudly questioned the airport military police, seeming to be very dissatisfied with their cold stare. The scene became a little chaotic.
"A little misunderstanding." The middle-aged man who had negotiated with the alliance investigator before stepped forward, "Our interstellar shuttle obviously has an inspection-free license, but these stupid young people who come out of nowhere insist on getting on board. examine."
"Can I see your license?" Yang Zicang looked at the middle-aged man up and down. With his decent clothes and elegant movements, it was obvious that he had received a good education and was not an ordinary businessman. Of course, it is easy to tell from their appearance that these are Charno people, and even the other party's words have a strong Capital Star accent. The other party should be the caravan of a certain family in the capital star. Yang Zicang quickly made his own judgment.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. His men had just beaten the government officials, but he seemed not to care. He took out an electronic license certificate from his arms, slowly stepped forward and handed it to Yang Zicang. Although his movements were extremely elegant, Yang Zicang still caught his obscure movements. In the few steps he took, whether intentionally or unintentionally, his foot happened to step on the palm of an alliance investigator who had been knocked unconscious earlier. And it was crushed hard several times, and the unconscious alliance investigator let out several unconscious groans of pain.
Yang Zicang couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. He could guess that the other party's certificate was true without looking at the license certificate in his hand, just from the other party's arrogant performance. This time these unlucky Alliance investigators may not be able to recover.
"Wu family?" Yang Zicang had a real expression on his face, and the Wu family's logo was clearly stuck on the permit certificate.
"There should be no problem, right?" The middle-aged man's face showed a somewhat worried expression, and he took out another permit from his arms again, "If it doesn't work, there is still one here."
Yang Zicang opened the electronic certificate again, "Ouyang family?"
Now Yang Zicang fully understood that the other party was obviously deliberately trying to cause trouble for the alliance investigators. Their stiff faces that looked like poker cards were so easy to recognize. He believed that if it were Charno's security investigators who dealt with the other party, they would have a different attitude. How could a conflict break out between a businessman with special licenses from two major families and a small investigator?
"I'm sorry. I apologize for my colleague's recklessness. You can go." Yang Zicang returned the two electronic certificates to the other party. The investigator sent by the "Holy Alliance" heard an angry shout from behind. Yang Zicang not only let the other party leave. And the apology made them extremely angry, and they were so confused that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Yang Zicang waved to the airport military police, "Stop them."
This time, the military police's approach was completely different from before. They raised their guns and roughly pushed away the alliance investigators who were standing in front of everyone. Several furious alliance investigators reached into their arms and seemed to want to take out their weapons. The military police The metal gun butt in their hands hit their heads hard, and several more fainted investigators immediately appeared on the smooth and cold ground. The merciless attack by the military police finally made the security investigators of the "Holy Alliance" realize that today is different from usual, and they may not be as unscrupulous as they used to deal with the Charno businessmen. The alliance investigators who realized this gradually became quiet. The privileged class exists everywhere. The class with spiritual powers in the "Holy Alliance" holds the power of life and death over ordinary people, but perhaps they have almost forgotten this after living in the democratic Charno for too long. CharnoThe person's abnormal behavior instantly evoked the memory in their hearts, and a hint of humble expression appeared on their faces involuntarily. This is the servility that goes deep into their bones and is irresistible. Of course, from another perspective, this is also the tragedy of the little people. It's all just about survival.
