The afternoon shopping did not go as smoothly as expected.

Whether it is the large-caliber pistol that Xu Ju needs, the special bullets, or the sand iron puppet materials that Fu Ju needs, it is not something that can be bought so easily.

Especially the materials and tools for the production of sand and iron puppets, even on the premise of ignoring a considerable part of the specialties of the sand blowing island, it is still difficult to buy them all, but fortunately, Lu Jing deliberately covered it up when he landed on the island, and he was not afraid that the nightmare pirates would catch up again.

Therefore, Lu Jing finally asked Fu Ju to make a list, and the three of them went separately to find one.

In the evening, the three of them met at an inn on Qingle Island, and after dinner, they gathered in Lu Jing's room.

"Considering that you have never used a gun before, the accuracy of medium and long-range shooting is extremely poor, and you are not familiar with bullet loading, so I bought you a revolver, which is easy to operate, do not worry about duds, and the power at close range is large enough, and the ammunition capacity is a little less...... Anyway, if you really get close, I'm afraid you won't be able to fire a few shots, so in addition to the normal bullets, I bought you ten smoke bombs, which are dedicated to delaying time, and if you think the situation is wrong, you can directly put the smoke bombs into the bomb nest, which is very convenient. ”

Taking advantage of the free time before the break, Xu Chu taught Fu Ju, and there were two rows of bullets on the table and a few basic installation flow charts of the sand iron puppets that Fu Ju had just made against the materials he bought.

Lu Jing was sitting cross-legged by the window, and used the dial-up conch to contact Dong Qingyue on Qihuang Island.

Yesterday, Wang Yuyan left the contact information of Dong Qingyue's ship before leaving.

At this time, a full day and a half had passed since their raid on Qihuang Island, and there should be a preliminary result no matter what.

"The cadres of the Nightmare Pirates failed to catch us, so they must have run away after getting the news that we were rushing to Qihuang Island...... The Shangguan family still wants to die and struggle, not to mention the collective "disappearance" of the guards in the puppet factory, even the body of the housekeeper you mentioned before was found this morning, and the government of Qihuangdao doesn't know how much benefit they have received, so if they don't cooperate with our actions, they will in turn want us to withdraw and go through the process of Shuoming's official law to review them...... The logs you brought were crucial, and we used them as a basis for forcibly intervening, and without even a decent battle, they surrendered. ”

The development of things is to some extent the same as Lu Jing thought, in order to cover up his crimes, the Shangguan family must have been ruthless yesterday and all parties operated, if he had only informed the Qihuangdao government before, he might have been slaughtered in the prison now.

The only fly in the ointment was the escape of the insect manipulator, perhaps because he was worried that his attack would be equivalent to the crime of sitting on the official family, and now he is either hiding somewhere in Qihuang Island and waiting for an opportunity, or he has left Qihuang Island to continue tracking them.

"What about Fu Gongxin's news?"

Lu Jing has not forgotten this most critical thing.

"Whether it is the Chengfeng puppet factory or their ancestral home, we have conducted a search, and some of the missing civilians have been found, Fu Jiangxin is still missing, and the people of the Shangguan family are also being interrogated, and some special methods have been used...... The Shangguan family knew about this man's existence and admitted to kidnapping him in February of this year, but when asked where the man was now, everyone in the Shangguan family just shook their heads. ”

The special method that Dong Qingyue said was obviously an interrogation method designed within the alliance navy to achieve extraordinary ability, even then did not get a vague result, in Lu Jing's opinion, there was only one possibility, the Nightmare Pirates did not regard the Shangguan family as a real partner, but more of a "production workshop".

As a result, the Shangguan family is in many cases only the executor of the order rather than the participant.

Because of this, when they realized that this workshop was about to be raided, the Nightmare Pirates decisively gave up on it.

"Got it, actually...... Forget it, it's not the time yet, and I'll get back to you if I find anything else in the future. ”

Lu Jing wanted to bring up the information about Blowing Sand Island again, but when the words came to his lips, he heard the noise on Dong Qingyue's side, so he pushed the conversation back and turned to end the call.

"Wait, give me an account that can send money to an address or a Shuoming bank. ”

"And the money?"

This is what Lu Jing didn't expect,

"How many?"

"Of course, the information and evidence you provided helped the Alliance Navy destroy a factory where the puppet experiments were carried out and disrupted part of the plot of the Nightmare Pirates, and in return, you will receive 6 Gold Leaf and a commendation issued by the Alliance Navy, which will allow your ship to be favored in most ports. ”

"I accept the money, and the commendation order is not needed, after all, I just provided some information, and I really deserve it. ”

Report his account in Shuoming Qian Zhuang to the other party, as for the commendation order, Lu Jing will not ask for it no matter what.

Receiving remuneration is one thing, but in Lu Jing's opinion, this commendation order is equivalent to putting himself in the camp of the alliance navy, if you really want to take it to the major ports for a walk, it has to be!

He didn't want to be involved with the Alliance Navy for no reason in everything he did in the future, not to mention that he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't do something "weird" that might violate the Alliance Navy's regulations in the future.

Dong Qingyue did not dwell on the matter of the commendation order, she knew the meaning behind this commendation order better than anyone else.

Hanging up the dial conch, Lu Jing looked at the two people next to him who had stopped practicing: "Now we can confirm that Fu Gongxin is not in Qihuang Island, our guess is correct, there is a high possibility that he will be transferred to Blowing Sand Island, you go to rest first, we will leave tomorrow...... Tentatively scheduled for tomorrow. ”

According to the original plan, it was time to leave tomorrow, but what happened in the morning had been lingering in Lu Jing's mind.

Xu Xi and Fu Ju saw Lu Jing's hesitation, and left the room after packing up their things, the former planned to buy the firearm he had just bought under maintenance, and the latter still had some design drawings to draw.

Lu Jing leaned on the windowsill, the street lights outside were bright, and music was played by various musical instruments from all directions.

They mingle together to form a symphony that is not neatly aligned.

Somehow, Lu Jing always felt that these music were like duckweed on the water, densely spread out and at the same time covering what was below the water, and he felt that there was something deeper lurking in it.

Until a certain moment, some inappropriate tones appeared in it.

Phew~hiss~

These notes that seemed to come from another dimension involuntarily broke into this not beautiful symphony, smashing them apart unreasonably, and gluing together those broken tunes in a way that Lu Jing couldn't understand, piecing together a kind of déjà vu tune.

Lu Jing heard it.

Right this morning at the Conch Shop......
