Chapter 78: Chekov's suspicions
Captain Chekov was coming from the flagship to the cargo ship through the space bridge, the captain of the cargo ship was a mustachioed Yamato, with a thief's eyebrow and a mouse-eyed face, he was a thief before joining this smuggling fleet, and his skills were reasonable, but he accidentally stole something from a nobleman and was chased and killed, so he had to come to do the dangerous business of smuggling.
Chekov saw that he would be a sycophant, and he was very shrewd in his work, which made him the captain of a cargo ship. However, Chekov also told him to think about whether to be the captain of the ship, and if something was lost in the ship, it would be the captain's responsibility. Throw something, and Chekov will cut off one of his fingers.
Chekov also told him that if you have the ability to grow a hundred fingers, you can retire by stealing ninety things, and in the end you have ten left.
Chekov said this to him with a sneer, and he also flipped a boning knife in his hand. This timid Yamato man nodded again and again to promise that he would not lose a single thing here, and he really hadn't lost anything after so many years. Sometimes when Chekov chatted with him, he would joke that why don't you steal, this is your old business, I have been thinking about cutting off one of your fingers all these years, or you will steal one today
Whenever the Yamato man heard this, he would tremble with fright, like a little mouse pressed in the arms of an old cat.
I really don't know how such a timid person had the courage to steal other people's noble lords' things.
The captain of the cargo ship, Matsushita Takeharu, was standing at the other end of the space bridge at this time, and he couldn't help but shake his shoulders as he looked at Chekov, who was getting closer. Although this man has Yamato's mustache, that mustache always feels a little nondescript on his face. When Chekov and several captains shaved his beard, they all felt that this guy was a bit of a girl. When I had that beard, I just felt unpleasant, but now when I shave my beard, I always feel that something is wrong.
Since the tiger-wolf-like women on the ship dressed up Matsushita Takeharu, they all sighed that this is a beautiful guy who can bend a man. Where does Matsushita Takeharu dare to wear it like that, in a place like the smuggling fleet where there is nowhere to vent his energy and his hormones are strong, other men are estimated to blow him up chrysanthemums.
"Matsushita-kun hasn't seen you for a few days, and it's a lot whiter. Hahahaha" Chekov smiled wickedly and patted Matsushita Takeharu's shoulder vigorously.
Matsushita Takeharu didn't dare to say anything, although he was also the captain, but his image had never given people a sense of being bullied, so his status was only a little higher than that of ordinary crews.
"Hello Captain Chekov." Matsushita Takeharu whispered softly and greeted with a voice comparable to the buzzing of mosquitoes.
"Those guys are fine, they haven't made any trouble." Chekov asked as he walked.
Matsushita Takeharu shook his head, "No, it's all quite honest." ”
"Are there any weird moves?"
"No, most of them are having fun in the lounge, and a few are already asleep."
"Is anyone approaching the cargo floor?"
"No, everyone is on the accommodation and rest floors, and no one is down to the cargo floor."
OK
"Sure."
Chekov didn't feel a trace of peace of mind when he heard this, but became even more uneasy, what was wrong with the old men
Chekov made up his mind to go to the strange old men, turned and walked towards the rest floor. The rest floor of the cargo hold is a place to relax with gambling, bars, restaurants, and entertainment, and only the cargo hold is equipped with these in the entire fleet, so the cargo hold is also jokingly called a vacation ship by the crew of other ships.
"Take me to meet the old men, what are they doing?" Chekov asked.
"Rubbing mahjong sticker strips, playing poker and drinking a glass of wine, playing roulette with a toy gun, and gambling with dice." Matsushita Takeharu said seriously.
Chekov was stunned when he heard this, is this the entertainment that old people should have, it sounds like they are even more hilarious than young people
"It's up ahead." Matsushita Takeharu pointed to a door in front of him and said, "It's the lounge, and there's everything in it."
Before Chekov could open the door and walk in, an old man with a cup of coffee came over from the other end and greeted Chekov, "Is there something wrong with Captain Chekov?"
It was Alpha, and beside him was an old man, who looked about the same age.
"Mr. Alpha, why don't you rest so late, we will enter the stellar leap orbit in the next few hours, and sleep is the best time to spend it." A cold glint flashed in Chekov's eyes.
Regarding this alpha, Chekov has always felt that this is not a simple person, he is clearly the leader of their team, almost everyone will listen to him, even if they are not very obedient and will not be too opposed, you can see how high his status is.
"Oh thanks for the reminder, is there anything else Captain Chekov." Alpha took a sip of the coffee in his cup, and Chekov could tell how bitter it was.
"Well, I know my next question is going to be a little wrong, but I still want to know," Chekov asked, looking into Alpha's eyes, "what are the things you brought with you on the ship, and the storage boxes made of meteorite gold will certainly not be simple things inside." ”
Alpha silently took a sip of bitter coffee, "Captain Chekov is unethical to ask such a question?"
"I'm a smuggler, and my life is inherently dangerous, and if I'm not careful, hundreds of my brothers will all die in this space. I don't ask to be clear, if you are transporting something dangerous, am I not joking with the lives of hundreds of brothers? ”
Chekov secretly put the alarm system ajar open, "Besides, I'm a smuggler, and my goods are medicine, munitions, luxury goods, contraband, machinery, mechas, rare and precious metals. As for you stowaways, I can only bring you with you, but if you want to bring danger up, I will throw you down before he does. ”
After saying that, Chekov wanted to activate the alarm device, but he was a little unsure whether the gang would suddenly riot.
But his alarm system no longer sounded, and the Candlestar Fireflies flew around him, carrying a lot of heat energy and destroying Chekov's alarm system.
Alpha took off his glasses, his eyes turned into red-gold pupils at this moment, and he sang a strange and jerky voice, which caused the angry Chekov and the nervous Matsushita Takeharu to lose consciousness. They stood there in a daze, like puppets.
Alpha put his glasses back on, "Alright, now they're not going to give us trouble." ”
Mu Qing nodded, "Then I'll go and inform the ground to get ready, our landing plan is going to be accelerated." ”
Alpha agreed in deep acknowledgement, turned around and pushed open the door to the lounge, looked at the old men and shouted, "Old guys, get ready. The next thing we will land on Canglan Star will be a bit bumpy, you all go back and get ready now, understand?"
Alpha didn't peep at the same person, everyone dispersed in a hurry, quickly went back to his room to clean up the scattered salutes, and then began to sleep and rest.
In a few hours, the campaign will begin.
