Chapter 15: The Right Approach to Threats

Xia Jing's specialty liquor, a fingertip-sized wine cup is enough to intoxicate, and Mostima's glass of spirits can be described as full of sincerity in the culture of the dry galaxy.

However, just as the Jedi Master was about to drink the wine in his glass, a mutation occurred.

"Ho...... Vomit. ”

Nan Qianyu suddenly made a strange sound of difficulty breathing and nausea, his face turned blue in an instant, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, just for a moment, he was like an inhuman.

Mostima's eyes suddenly became fierce, she put down her wine glass and came to Nan Qianyu.

Sean took the wine glass at the right time, and a small mechanical arm stretched out from the mechanical ring on his wrist, and a probe probed into the wine, and the alarm sounded instantly.

Nan Qianyu's face swelled rapidly like a balloon, and the strange tumor continued to grow and spread on his face, and he struggled and said, "Sure enough, if you want to, kill people and kill people." ”

Ignoring his misunderstanding, Mostima seriously considered how to save him.

She has quite profound medical attainments, but even so, this Jedi master can't judge what kind of poison Nan Qianyu has been hit by for a while, and how to treat the symptoms. She tried to borrow the Force, but was interrupted by a terrible siren.

Mostima was stunned and looked at Sean.

Sean also immediately put down the wine glass, no longer trying to analyze the toxins in the wine, but figured out the communication ring and the adapter purchased on the passenger ship, and connected to the galaxy intranet.

Seeing the urgent news, Sean's face changed: "Master, the situation is not right, the poisoning of Nan Qianyu has actually been on the news, and the police came so quickly!" ”

Mostima said, "Sean, prepare to execute the plan. ”

"Yes, Master."

The Jedi master and apprentice had never taken this mission lightly, and had deduced enough plans before arriving in Xia Jing.

At about the same time, a group of armed policemen in black police armor approached with small steps. Several black-painted blasters were pointed at the Jedi Master and Apprentice: "Don't move!" ”

"Raise your hands behind your head!"

"Squatting in the corner!"

"We are Xia Jing police!"

Shouting all the way, the team of gun-wielding policemen rushed in.

Sean looked at these policemen and felt cold in his heart: these policemen, whether they were armed or moved, all reflected the word elite, but they were just outcasts on the chessboard.

The person who set the trap should know very well that the opponent is a Jedi, so it is impossible not to know that a mere team of armed policemen can't help the opponent at all.

Even in this small bar room, even if Mostima himself didn't make a move, Sean alone could take down all the police officers present with a lightsaber.

But that's the result that the people behind the scenes want: the dignified Jedi Knight, but in Xia Jing, the capital of the Dry Galaxy, poisoned Nan Qianyu, the temporary head of the Nan family, and even openly slaughtered the Xia Jing police after the incident......

At that time, the Jedi master and apprentice were speechless, and they were pointed out by thousands of people. The Republic no longer has to expect the Dry Galaxy to be its own family.

It's a pity that these cops underestimated the Jedi's abilities.

Facing the policeman with a gun, Mostima said softly, "Put down your gun and call your man." ”

The next moment, the seven policemen in this team showed a confused look on their faces, and at the same time put down their blasters, and muttered, "Yes, Director Xia should indeed be invited." ”

Hearing the word Director Xia, Mostima frowned slightly, and everywhere he looked, he began to frown when he saw Sean.

Director Xia, judging from Xia Jing's public information, is likely to be Xia Yan, the director of the Security Bureau of the Qiankun Group, who is based in [Kun] and often travels back and forth between Xia Jing and the Sky Dome.

As a senior member of the group, he is only one step away from the board of directors, and the security bureau under his command is in charge of the security of hundreds of billions of people in the dry galaxy, and his status is noble and illustrious.

This kind of bigwig, directly commanded to the front-line police?

Sean's heart moved, and he had some thoughts, so he took a half step forward, ready to induce the policeman to say more.

Although his application of the Force is not as good as that of his master, and he cannot make many people lose their minds with the snap of his fingers, he is still comfortable controlling one person alone.

Unfortunately, just before Sean could act, there was another rush of footsteps in the hallway.

Compared with the policeman who broke through the door, the man's footsteps were heavier and steady, and based on the sound alone, Sean had a resolute and upright figure in his mind.

The Lord is coming.

So Sean didn't try to embarrass a grassroots police officer again, and when Xia Yan came, he just asked him directly.

This is not a manor lurking, and it is necessary to be conclusive and innocent in legal theory, so they don't need to be so tied, and it is best to ask the truth directly from each other's mouths.

However, the next moment, he saw Xia Yan wearing light armor and striding in with a sneer, and the moment he walked in, Mostima reached out to stop Sean.

Of course, Sean himself knew that the original plan was going to be scrapped.

Xia Yan, the director of the group's security bureau who is in charge of the security of hundreds of billions of people, walked in the door, and three red dots of light lit up on the back of his head. And the first thing he said was, "If I show any signs of hypnosis, the sniper will immediately blow my head off, and then you will be the murderer." ”

Sean was stunned when he heard this: This posture is really unique, and it is the first to take the lead. This is a clear indication that the Jedi have long been regarded as imaginary enemies, and the plan of the master and apprentice is probably going to be invalidated.

After glancing over, I saw that the master was also silent and was thinking of a workaround, so Sean bought her time by the way.

"If you really want to engage in deterrence, you should put a miniature bomb on your body, and then find someone to remotely control the switch, which is safer than a sniper rifle."

But seeing that Xia Yan didn't say a word, he ignored the technical questions raised by Sean, his eyes swept around the room, and he said in a cold voice: "I knew that the Republic and the Jedi were uneasy and kind to the Qiankun Group, but I didn't expect that they were so arrogant that they dared to kill people in the capital, and they deserved to be the executioners of the Republic." ”

When Sean heard this, he asked the master again, "Is this memorizing a manuscript?" ”

Mostima looked at this Director Xia with cold eyes, and replied with a mouthful: "Obviously. But to be able to write these words into a manuscript shows that the other party has been planning for a long time, maybe from the moment we boarded the ship, maybe it was at the moment of Nan Heli's death, and maybe even the vision of Nan Heli before his death was to guard against him and the people behind him......"

Before the Jedi Master finished speaking, Xia Yan's face finally changed slightly, he waved his hand, and the policemen around him were a little surprised, but they still retreated.

In the cramped private room of this bar, there were only 3 living and 1 dead man left.

The Jedi master and apprentice were not in a hurry to make a move, because the light behind Xia Yan's head was still there, but there was no one around, and there were some things to say openly.

Xia Yan said, "Master Mostima, since the Republic knows that Nanheli's death is very important, why should he be in such a hurry to get involved in it? The Qiankun Group has lived peacefully with the Republic for many years, so does it have to go through twists and turns for the sake of one person and one person? ”

"The death of one man is not a big deal, and you contradict yourself," said Mostima. What's more, there is now more than one person deceased. ”

Sean said, "I suggest you read it according to the script." ”

A flush of annoyance suddenly appeared on Xia Yan's face, but he forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Leave now, we can act as if nothing happened." ”

"If not, you're going to throw dirty water on the Jedi Order?" Mostima asked.

Xia Yan said bluntly: "Otherwise, all the crimes committed by the Republic in the Qiankun Group will be made public, and the hundreds of billions of Li people in the Qiankun System will be seen clearly." ”

Mostima said: "I'm afraid that if we really leave like this, the evidence of the conspiracy to kill will be confirmed." ”

Xia Yan said with a straight face: "The evidence has long been conclusive, but it is only the difference between being published and not. ”

As he spoke, he walked to the wine table, picked up the ornament on the table with a recording function, and said, "This chest ornament records the conversation between you and Nan Qianyu after you entered the golden scales. In the recording, Nan Qianyu will suspect that Nan Heli's death is related to the Jedi, and state a lot of relevant evidence, and then he will die of poison, and before he dies, he will insist that the Jedi master and apprentice are the murderers. ”

Sean recalled the previous conversation and suddenly said, "A conversation record taken out of context? ”

"But if any third party listens, neither of you will be able to argue. Especially since this thing is owned by the deceased Nan Qianyu himself, no one will believe that the dignified Nan family will use their own lives to frame you. Therefore the evidence of your guilt is beyond doubt. ”

Xia Yan held the chest ornament in his hand, and his expression seemed to be a victory, but Sean couldn't help laughing: "Ha, then ask the director to broadcast the conclusive evidence of the crime to take a look." ”

Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this, only feeling a little incredulous, he crushed the ornament, took out a chip from it, and put it into a groove in his arm armor.

The next moment, a melodious music sounded from the arm. As for the dialogue that should have been, there is not a single one.

Sean couldn't help but touch his wrist. Previously, when Mostima performed the magic power of snapping his fingers, he actually performed a unique trick - taking advantage of Nan Qianyu's attention to be distracted, he destroyed the voice recording in the chip with the help of a micromachine.

This is purely a result of prepared behaviour.

In this regard, Xia Yan was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "I destroyed the evidence of the crime unconsciously, the Jedi's methods are indeed clever, but such an arrogant bend of the law, do you really think that the Qiankun Group is afraid of the Jedi Order?!" ”

Sean asked sincerely, "Are you really not even afraid of the Jedi?" ”

Xia Yan's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Mostima couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

Sean really asked a good question: Are the Qiankun Group afraid of the Jedi Order? Of course I'm afraid! If you are not afraid, why would the director of the security bureau of the Tangtang Group come to negotiate with their master and apprentice with 3 sniper rifles? Why do you want to stigmatize the Jedi by treating Nan Qianyu, the director of Nanming Capital, as an outcast?

It is precisely because deep down that he is still afraid of the prestige of the Jedi that he will use these conspiracies and tricks to snipe on his head and pretend to be tough.

But the Jedi Master quickly restrained his smile, as the status quo was still not optimistic.

Although the chest ornament has been cleverly cracked, it has no substantial impact on the overall situation. Judging from the current situation, the opponent of the Jedi master and apprentice is likely to be the behemoth of the Qiankun Group, and the scale of the group's layout far exceeds expectations, and there must be more than one chest ornament to frame him.

They can use transcripts of conversations taken out of context as incriminating evidence, so it's not surprising that a recording is forged out of thin air. The Qiankun Group does not need to convince everyone to believe, it only needs to convince the natives of the Qiankun system.

The biggest difference between this galaxy and Bergamoor is that the Qiankun Group does control hundreds of billions of people's hearts, and after thousands of years of rule, the Group's foundation in this galaxy is unbreakable.

As for the situation on the part of the republic, it is even more delicate, and the fact that so many years of imminent separation does not mean that the parliament is really alienated from the Qiankun clique, on the contrary, the more it behaves as if it is about to leave, the easier it is for the parliament to tolerate it. Along the way, whether it is the extraordinary design structure of the passenger ship or the robot at the customs gate technology far beyond the local level, it all confirms that the Qiankun Group has received special treatment - on the other hand, the dictator of Bergamoor relies on the [opera trade] if he wants to eat some Coruscant food.

The only thing that can balance the situation is that the Qiankun Group is still afraid of the prestige of the Jedi after all.

So Mostima asked, "Are you really ready to frame a Jedi Master?" ”

Facing an indifferent question from a Jedi master, Xia Yan felt an indescribable heavy pressure surging over his heart for a while, he was silent for a long time, and said in a gentle tone: "As far as I know, the Jedi have never been upright law enforcers, you often play the role of diplomats to travel to various places, and you are the best at weighing the pros and cons and considering the whole thing......

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mostima: "Don't distort the meaning of the Jedi. Weighing the pros and cons, or considering the whole picture, will not be a reason to distort the truth and promote evil. ”

Xia Yan said: "The results of the Qiankun Group's domination in the Qianxing system, the two of them should have a preliminary insight, there may be such and such flaws, but this prosperity and strength is real, there are countless galaxies in the outer ring star field, and it is rare to be more powerful than the Qiankun galaxy, without the Qiankun Group, there will be no peaceful life for these hundreds of billions of people." ”

"If the Qiankun Group is shaken, the peace of the 100 billion people will be broken immediately, if the two want to shake the rule of the Qiankun Group for the death of just two people, it is to put the sense of personal morality above the well-being of 100 billion people."

"If the Qiankun Group really intends to negotiate with us seriously, then when we set foot on the land of Xia Jing, what we see should not be a despicable poisoning and planting. Such rulers are not qualified to hijack the well-being of hundreds of billions of people in the galaxy, and if you are replaced, these hundreds of billions may be able to live better. ”

Having said that, Xia Yan no longer tried to persuade: "It's okay, then follow the procedure, the two are suspected of murdering Nan Qianyu, and the Xia Jing police will arrest them in accordance with the law." Of course, you are Jedi Knights, and you can resist arrest by force and kill seven in and seven out of the crowd. ”

Xia Yan said: "There are only a few dozen heavily armed police officers and a dozen combat drones here, if the rumors about the Jedi are true, then after a bloody battle, most of these heroic police officers will be wiped out." And under the fierce battle, hundreds of innocent people in the bar will also suffer heavy casualties. At that time, these blood debts will naturally fall on your heads! ”

Sean couldn't help but be furious when he heard this.

Hundreds of innocent people? This person is so cruel that he takes hundreds of lives as bargaining chips, just to frame them as a pair of Jedi masters and apprentices!?

"I'm sure you're doing this," said Mostima. But I have a question, if you treat human life so like a child's play, why wouldn't it be more convenient to blow us up while we were on a rental airship, or even earlier, and then declare it an accident to the Republic? ”

Xia Yan sneered and was silent.

If it was so simple to solve the problem, he would have arranged for someone to plant the bomb a long time ago! However, the other party is a Jedi after all, and one of them is also a Jedi Master!

Let the famous Jedi Master die in the capital of the Dry Star System for no apparent reason, and then wait for the peacekeeping fleet of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic to overwhelm the border? Waiting for the Jedi Order to send out more elite forces to find out the truth?

In fact, for Xia Yan, there is a very absurd place in this whole conspiracy: the Qiankun Group did everything possible to frame and target the pair of Jedi masters and apprentices, but the Qiankun Group did not want this pair of Jedi masters and apprentices to die more than anyone else.

At the same time, Mostima also smiled: "yes, you don't want us to die. ”

Xia Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and an inexplicable anxiety arose in his heart.

Everything is going smoothly according to the plan, the pair of Jedi masters and apprentices have been forced into a desperate situation, there is no way out, the only choice is to give in and compromise here, and leave the Qiankun galaxy from the dry galaxy with the "Truth of the Death of Nanheli" sorted out by the Qiankun Group. And the truth will be forever hidden under the falsification of history.

If, of course, they are really stupid enough to resist by force...... No, it should be said that if they were really the rumored good and upright Jedi, they would be so stupid that they would not resist by force no matter what.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xia Yan dared to come forward with a sniper rifle on his head to speak out and coerce.

He's played the trick of bullying the good too many times, and he's never missed it!

However, the smile on the Jedi Master's face and the words in his mouth made Xia Yan never feel at ease.

He tried to calm down, and said in an oppressive tone: "Your life depends on yourselves, if you are willing to ...... obediently"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly lifted her brown cloak and pressed her palm to her chest.

"Yes, my life or death is up to me, and I think it's time to return to the Force."

Sean was shocked when he saw this: "Master?!" ”

The woman's palms were spotless, and the slender fingers didn't seem to contain any strength. However, the powerful Force has been surging like angry waves under her guidance.

With a single outburst, the Jedi Master's heart would turn to powder on the spot.

The Jedi Padawan was confused in his mind, and subconsciously wanted to pull the master's arm to stop her actions.

However, in front of the Jedi Master's vast ocean-like Force, Sean was completely unable to move. And looking at Master's deeper and deeper eyes, he finally understood Master's intentions.

Master wants to sacrifice himself to break this deadlock, so as to protect the innocent people who have unknowingly been taken hostage, and to protect the Jedi Apprentices who are still immature.

In an instant, Sean's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his vision became blurred.

Although the practice of the Jedi rejects all the pleasures of the mortal world, there is probably no one in this world who loves life more than the Jedi.

So Sean couldn't understand what kind of mind and consciousness the master had put her own life out of the way!

Mostima glanced at his apprentice and said, "Sean, death is not the end, don't be sad about it. ”

Sean bowed his head speechlessly.

Hearing the conversation between master and apprentice, Xia Yan's eyes gradually widened, and he only felt that his heart was gradually frozen.

Even if he didn't know anything about the Force, he understood what Mostima was trying to do.

An unbelievable chill welled up in his heart, causing the security chief to take a few steps back, and the three points of light that were originally locked behind his head were also messy.

Xia Yan couldn't understand the other party's choice at all.

Impossible, how could it be...... Why?! Is this necessary?

For a high-ranking figure like the Jedi Master, everything that happened in the Dry Galaxy was nothing more than an insignificant political conspiracy in the periphery! Your life is a hundred times more precious than these! Wasn't your performance shrewd and sharp? Wouldn't it be possible to even weigh the pros and cons so simply?

Xia Yan had a thousand words and wanted to roar out, but in the face of the Jedi Master's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, the security chief couldn't say half a word for a while.

After a while, I heard Sean say in a hoarse voice: "If Master really dies here, no matter how elaborate the reason you weave, it will never stand." The Republic and the Jedi Order will not sit idly by. There are countless people in the samurai who are better than our masters and apprentices, and I hope you can fool them all with intrigues! ”

The anger of the young apprentice enveloped Xia Yan like substance, completely breaking the psychological defense of the security chief.

Xia Yan lowered his head, his body trembling with extreme anger and humiliation, and he squeezed out a sneer as his teeth collided with his clenched teeth.

"I've heard that Jedi are a bunch of idiots, but I didn't expect you to be even more stupid than you rumored!"

Then, he tightened his voice vigorously and asked, "Say, what conditions do you want?" ”
