Chapter 200 Special Patrol Team Xiawolei
Number Three glanced at Xingqiu.
The two were quite familiar with each other.
After all, Wang Hao and Xingqiu have been practicing martial arts together for two years, and No. 3 can see Xingqiu almost every day.

Hearing Xingqiu's question, No. 3 did not explain immediately, but looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao nodded slightly.

Number Three then spoke up, "The other party seemed to be a broker. After he left the tavern, I followed him all the way, but didn't see him contacting anyone until I arrived at his residence. There, I found many records of his transactions as a broker."

After a pause, No. 3 continued, "As for the information of the smuggling gang, there is no record of it in his home."

"It's normal that there isn't any. This kind of thing, if recorded, is evidence. As a broker, he will only remember it in his mind."

After hearing what No. 3 said, Wang Hao showed an expression of surprise.

He estimated that Du Tai's investigation was also stuck here.

Find the brokers, but not the smuggling gangs.

As for Du Tai's people, the brokers probably know them all and will not expose themselves.

Without evidence, he couldn't even catch the broker, let alone the smuggling gang behind it.

"However, there should be some connection between the smuggling gang and the Novelty Pants Club."

Wang Hao still remembers what Yarad said.

“The broker may not be aware of the relationship.”

"So, the people who were following us were not in the same group as the brokers. They were not only following us, but also the brokers."

In Wang Hao's mind, a relationship diagram gradually emerged.

The smuggling gang and the novelty pants club are probably T0 and T1,

The broker just now was probably of a much lower level.

He looks like a white glove, but in fact, he is more like a bait.

Once someone moves the bait, the person hiding behind it will immediately fall silent.

Du Tai probably realized this, so he didn't touch him.

"interesting."

Wang Hao chuckled, and then said to Xingqiu: "The transaction in seven days will definitely be very interesting."

The other party will definitely realize that this may be a phishing operation.
Then, the other party will either not show up for the appointment or hide completely.

Otherwise, the other party will gather people and give the investigators a tough time.

Either way, it's very interesting to Wang Hao.

Because he was going to leave the rest of the matters to the people coming from Fontaine.

It's a good opportunity to see how genuine the people of Fontaine are.

Waving his hand, after No. 3 returned to the shadow,
Wang Hao and Xingqiu returned to Roudeng Harbor.

Instead of renting a boat, Wang Hao found a corner and flew back with his men.

……

the other side,
The sailor who was watching in the tavern seemed to be drunk. He staggered out of the tavern and fell beside the boat outside the tavern.

The sailors were coming and going around him, but no one paid any attention to him.
A man dressed as an ordinary person walked up to him, reached out and patted his face: "Hey, friend, are you okay?"

The sailor waved his hand and slapped the other man's hand: "Go away, don't disturb my sleep."

After being scolded like this, the 'kind-hearted person' left in anger.

After walking away, the "good-hearted man" stopped and opened his palm, and a note was in his hand.

He opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

Then head out into the wild.

Returned to a secret gathering place.

There are dozens of big men here, each of them looks strong and powerful, and looks like they are not easy to mess with.

I saw someone coming back.

The big man who led the group asked somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I tell you to watch over the tavern? Why are you back?"

"Boss Johnny, the Liyue people who came yesterday went to the tavern today."

“They also met with the broker.”

The 'good samaritan' replied quickly.

I was afraid that if I was a little slower, I would be beaten.

"Well, Walker, we received news that those Liyue people went to meet that guy Du Tai."

The big man called Johnny looked at the thugs on the other side.

Thug Walker nodded and said, "Yes, Boss. Our people also heard them talking about smuggling."

The strong man Johnny's face suddenly turned ugly: "So, it's fishing again."

He stood up and looked around at everyone.

The strong men around him were also looking at him, waiting for him to speak.

"The people from Liyue are here to investigate the mechanical smuggling. They must have teamed up with that bastard Du Tai."

"And they must be trying to set us up by meeting the broker."

The strong man Johnny looked gloomy: "What do you think we should do?"

"Well, boss, if it's a trap, let's just not go." One of the men shouted.

Someone immediately agreed: "Yeah, boss, just don't go."

Johnny's expression grew even darker.

"We have been hiding for too long. Both Liyue and Fontaine have been investigating us."

He raised his head and looked at everyone.
"Are we so easy to bully?"

The subordinates were a little hesitant when they saw him looking at them, not sure what their boss meant.

After a while,

Walker, the thug who had just spoken, said, "Boss Johnny, do you mean... to turn around and attack them?"

If the people from Liyue come to trade, we must be setting a trap for them.

If they really went to trade, they would definitely be ambushed.

But at the same time, they can also launch a counter-ambush.

When Johnny heard what Walker said, he immediately smiled: "Hahaha, you are worthy of being our number one thug. That's right, I want to ambush them once again."

Walker frowned. “Although I hate to say this, Boss, we can’t beat the authorities. Whether it’s the Shadow Chasing Court or the Special Patrol Team, they are stronger than us.”

Johnny fully understood the other party's concerns.
But he still smiled.

"Don't worry, Walker. Several shipments have been intercepted. The guys at the Academy of Sciences are more anxious than we are.

Our friends in Liyue don't want their transactions to be interrupted any further.
So, Liyue’s friends paid, and the guys from the Academy of Sciences came up with some good stuff.”

The big men around were all excited and asked, "What is it? A weapon?"

The society in Fontaine is relatively fragmented.

Most civilian organizations still use swords, while some elite organizations may have already used guns.

Therefore, weapons produced by the Academy of Sciences are also very popular.

For example, a musket. For ordinary people, a musket is enough to determine life or death.

However, weapons like muskets are still very low-end for the Academy of Sciences.

"Weapons, humph, those are really powerful weapons."

"Our guys from the Academy of Sciences will send you a large fleet of specialized machines."

Johnny smiled proudly.

There was silence all around.

"Boss, we will be surrounded and attacked by the Law Enforcement Court."

A younger brother said tremblingly.

The military structure of Fontaine was that a large formation consisted of three squadrons, and a squadron consisted of three squadrons.

A squad consists of one specialized attack-type machine, one specialized suppression-type machine, and one specialized annihilation-type machine, and is additionally equipped with a warning-type machine or an amplification-type machine.

That is to say, a large formation has 40-50 autonomous organs.

This is already equivalent to a small army. In fact, the firepower of these autonomous agencies far exceeds that of human troops of the same size.

This is going to be exposed.

It’s easy to imagine how big a splash the Fontaine would make.

Although the Court of Restoration was very delayed in matters concerning the people's livelihood.

But if it involves military matters, it will be directly taken over by the Law Enforcement Court.

By then, they might be surrounded and suppressed by a large force mobilized by the Law Enforcement Court.

They have a large formation of self-disciplined specialized agencies,
And the Law Enforcement Court... has hundreds of such large formations.

Moreover, in Melo Petersburg, self-regulatory agencies are still being produced continuously.

"Boss, think twice."

A younger brother advised.

"Think it over again."

Johnny gave the younger brother who was speaking a cold look, and then continued,
"As long as the smuggling continues, the masters of Fontaine will come to deal with us sooner or later. So, after this operation, we will flee directly to Liyue, and Brother Tieming will pick us up."

"Well, what about the business?" asked the younger brother.

They followed Johnny because he could make them a lot of money.

If you lose your business, who will be your younger brother?

"The Novelty Pants Club will not be disbanded, and business will continue. However, we must separate from the club in public to prevent being caught by the masters of Fontaine Court."

Johnny said.

The younger brothers around him also quieted down.

As long as the business is still there, there is no problem.
Going there to make money is not making money.

I heard that Liyue is also very prosperous.
Maybe it will be more comfortable than staying in this shabby port.

"In that case, Boss Johnny, let's plan a counter ambush."

Thug Walker said.

The strong men around also nodded.

Since we are all going to run away,
Then offending Fontaine would not be a big deal.

On the contrary, these criminals felt a little excited.
Before leaving, I'd like to give Mr. Fontaine a good slap on the face, so that I can vent my anger after hiding from people for all these years.

"Well, Chris, go find the broker and tell him the location of the transaction. Just treat it as a normal transaction. If he wants a commission, give it to him. When we leave, we can collect it back."

Johnny said to one of his men.

Chris, his subordinate, nodded immediately: "Okay, boss, I understand."

Johnny nodded, and then continued: "As for everyone, please bear with it for the next few days. Once the location is confirmed, we will go and make arrangements. Once everything is done, I will take you to Liyue, and we will also taste the delicacies of Liyue."

"Hahahahaha, okay."

"The boss is mighty."

"The boss is mighty."

There was an endless stream of flattery.

……

the other side,
Wang Hao and Xingqiu returned to the residence prepared by General Manager Du Tai.

When Shi Jie saw them come back, he asked about the results out of curiosity.

Xingqiu immediately told him everything.

After listening to this, Shi Jie frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you ask No. 3 and the others to continue tracking? If they had continued to track, they should have been able to find the smugglers."

When he heard about Team Three's tracking and surveillance, he immediately felt something was wrong.

As an elite who has been trained by the General Affairs Department's secret agents,

Shi Jie knew very well that

Those guys who were stalking clearly had more to dig up.

But Team No. 3 only stared at it for a while and then stopped.

This doesn't seem like the work of a professional General Affairs Department spy.

"That's what I ordered."

Wang Hao spoke.

Shi Jie looked at him puzzledly.

"This is Fontaine. Don't finish your work. Leave some work for the people of Fontaine."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

If he were in Liyue, he would definitely get to the bottom of it and catch everyone in one fell swoop.

But this is Fontaine. Although Liyue is also involved in smuggling, Wang Hao doesn't have the intention to help them catch everyone.

"..." Shi Jie looked at Wang Hao and saw the smile in his eyes. He suddenly understood, "Do you want to test their quality?"

"That's right."

Wang Hao nodded slightly.

I'm new here, and I don't know what to do.

Watching a showdown between Fontaine and smugglers is like broadening your horizons.

"alright."

Shi Jie nodded, and then stopped paying attention to this matter.

He took out a stack of documents and said, "While you were out, I also walked around outside and learned some of the situation."

"The infrastructure of Roudeng Port is indeed not good. Du Tai wants to expand it, but the capacity is indeed insufficient."

"The trade between Roudeng Port and Yilong Port is indeed declining. The number of large ships coming here this year is half of that in previous years. Although the price increase has replaced the quantity, it is still unhealthy."

"I even suspect that this smuggling incident is also related to the decline in tea exports."

Wang Hao paused while listening, revealing a hint of curiosity: "Tell me in detail."

"According to the report of Roudeng Port last year, Roudeng Port received a total of 3526 Liyue tea ships last year.
So far this year, there have been only 1520 trips, a decrease of nearly ships."

Shi Jie took out the data report, which looked like it was handwritten and no one knew where he got the data from.

"Even with the most rough calculation, the number of ships has been reduced by half. In other words, half of the tea ships in Yilongpu have lost their original livelihood this year."

At this point, Shi Jie's expression became very serious.

Not only him, Wang Hao and Xingqiu also became serious.

"There are two thousand ships. A rough calculation shows that there are nearly a hundred tea ships. Each ship has at least 20 to 30 people. Thousands of people have lost their stable jobs all of a sudden."

Shi Jie described a bad situation very roughly.

Some of the data are definitely wrong.
But there is nothing wrong with the general conceptual inference.

The reduction in export volume has affected the number of ships, thus affecting jobs at sea.

Many people in Yilongbu lost their stable jobs.

"Hiss, no wonder the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's report shows that Yilongbu's spending power is continuously declining. I thought there was something wrong with our products."

At this time, Xingqiu also slapped his head and remembered something related.

Wang Hao's expression darkened slightly. "Why didn't the General Affairs Division of Yilongbu report this matter?"

Shi Jie shook his head: "Yilong Port is too big. In addition to sailors, there are people from other industries. Some sailors have lost their jobs. Before they cause trouble, it is difficult for the General Affairs Department to accurately notice it."

After a pause, Shi Jie continued, "Coach A-Lin has caught the smugglers. After the interrogation, I think the General Affairs Department will notice it."

Wang Hao lowered his brows in thought, then nodded: "I hope so. I'll make a note of this matter first, and report it to Qixing after we return to Liyue."

No matter what, the General Affairs Department of Yilongbu must be held accountable.

No matter what the reason is, if such a thing happens and is not discovered and handled in time,
It is an unavoidable fault.

"It seems that our people might be involved in this smuggling case."

Wang Hao said in a low voice.

"Then we can't be too relaxed. Even if they are criminals, the people of Liyue should be judged according to the laws of Liyue."

"I agree." Shi Jie smiled.

When they were in Mondstadt, the embassy would intervene whenever the Liyue people made mistakes.

He is familiar with this kind of thing.

Of course, it is not about shielding, but we cannot hand over our citizens to other countries for trial.

It can be regarded as a manifestation of sovereignty and diplomacy.

"In this case, we can't just do nothing while we're at it."

"Well, let's go find Mr. Butler and 'report' to him the results of our actions today."

Wang Hao said with a smile,

Then the three of them walked towards Du Tai's office.

After meeting Du Tai, he didn't say much and just briefly described his communication with the broker today.

After listening to this, Du Tai forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to find such an important clue as soon as you arrived. Thank you for your hard work. However, I have reported it to the Supreme Judge. Please do not act on your own."

His meaning was very clear, Fontaine could solve the case, and he didn't want a Liyue envoy to interfere.

Wang Hao had a typical smile on his face: "This is not an unauthorized action, we just happened to run into it, so we came to inform you, Manager Du Tai."

You can't accept the title of acting on your own.

"Also, after you reported it, did you get any news back?"

He acted curious.

Du Tai's frown relaxed a little: "The news about Fontaine will be handled by the special patrol team. They will probably arrive in three days."

Fontaine has airships, so it is indeed more convenient to travel than the former Liyue.

"That's perfect. The seven days we agreed with the broker will be just the right time for the special patrol team to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

Du Tai felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only nod at Wang Hao and say, "I'll arrange a meeting for you when the special patrol team arrives."

Wang Hao's eyes were full of smiles.

This is just intervening.

When the time comes, we will act together. If someone from Liyue gets involved, Wang Hao can take them down first.
Avoid direct conflict with Fontaine justice.

After all, there is a difference between being caught by yourself and being caught by Fontaine.

"Then I won't bother you, Mr. Butler. Goodbye."

Goal achieved, get up and leave.

In the next few days,
Wang Hao and the other two rarely went out.

I stayed in Roudenggang all the time, and when I went out occasionally, I just walked around.

However, even so, Wang Hao still found many sailors following him.

However, Wang Hao did not make it public.

These sailors were not necessarily members of the smuggling gang.

It is very likely that they are just collecting money to do the job.

There's no point in catching him.

Besides, Wang Hao has no law enforcement power in Fontainebleau.

He was waiting for people from Fontaine Court to come.

In the afternoon of the third day.

Wang Hao and others received the news from Du Tai.

The special patrol team sent by the Court of Law has arrived and is waiting for Liyue's envoy to come to the conference room.

Wang Hao received the news without delay. He packed up his clothes and took Xingqiu and Shi Jie to the meeting room.

"So, that Liyue envoy put a lot of pressure on you?" Xia Wole looked at Du Tai and asked calmly.

Du Tai shook his head: "It can't be considered as exerting pressure, but it is indeed troublesome that the smuggling problem cannot be solved."

Smuggling causes great harm to normal business activities.

First of all,

The main harm is that it undermines national sovereignty and dignity and endangers national security.

This alone is enough to crack down on smuggling.

Secondly, smuggling affected the tax revenue of Roudeng Port.

This is particularly important for Roudeng Port, which is eager to expand.

Smuggling will affect the already declining tax revenue.
This caused the expansion to come to a standstill and even affected the normal operation of Roudeng Port.

As for the impacts of smuggling, such as disrupting the market economic order, threatening the survival and development of industry, corrupting people's minds, undermining social customs, and inducing crime, the impacts are too numerous to count.

Therefore, even if Wang Hao did not urge Du Tai to solve the problem, he would still crack down on smuggling.

However, the appearance of Wang Hao gave him a reason to seek urgent help from Fontaine.

"It's indeed troublesome. After receiving your message, we conducted an inspection of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences and found that a large number of equipment had indeed been resold."

"The Privy Court has reopened its investigation into the Academy of Sciences, but there won't be any new information in the short term."

"And this time I came here to get information about the partners of these smugglers."

Xiawolei frankly stated the real purpose of her visit.

A gang of smugglers is nothing.
But the people they work with, the people who can bring things out of Fontaine Academy of Sciences, are the real danger.

There are many powerful weapons in Fontainebleau Science Academy.

Some force field generating devices would cause big trouble if used in crowded places.

"I heard that some smugglers have been caught in Yilongbu. You may be able to communicate with the envoy from Liyue about the people behind these people."

Dutay said.

"Of course you can."

Wang Hao's voice sounded at the door, and then he pushed the door open and walked in, dressed elegantly and with a serious look.
"If you want to investigate the people behind these criminals, I will notify the Qianyan Army in Yilongbu to provide the interrogation report."

Wang Hao took the two of them to one side of the conference table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Of course, the results of the investigation need to be synchronized. We also want to know which bad guy is doing the bad things."

[It is indeed Xiawolei. 】

[I thought it would be Clorinde.]

[Although Clorinde is a Shadow Hunter, she is a duel agent. 】

【Why is there no Sheriff Meilushin? 】

[Xiawolei, hehehe, Xiawolei. ]

[I really want to be shot hard by Xiawolei with a rifle. 】

【? ? Damn, there's a pervert. 】

【…】

The barrage immediately recognized the special patrol captain and began to talk nonsense.

Wang Hao looked at the other party calmly: "As long as it can solve the smuggling problem, we will do our best to cooperate."

Xia Wolei looked at Wang Hao,
She was a capable person.

I don't like things that are complicated.

Seeing that Wang Hao seemed to be very direct, there was a hint of recognition in her eyes.

"You are the messenger from Liyue. I am Xia Wolei, the captain of the special patrol team of the Fontaine Grand Court. You can just call me by my name."

The Grand Court of Fontainebleau is the full name of the Court of Law, but people generally do not call it that.

Xiawolei's self-introduction in this way also seems more formal.

"Hello, Captain Xia Wore." Wang Hao nodded, and then introduced Xingqiu and Shi Jie. "Shi Jie, my deputy, Xingqiu, my friend."

After the introduction,

Wang Hao continued: "I believe Mr. Du Tai has already told Captain Xia Wole all the information. So, what does Captain Xia Wole have in mind?"

Xiawolei's expression remained unchanged, still very calm: "I already know about your fishing plan, but I think you may be ambushed."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Wang Hao asked with some hesitation.

Xia Wolei said calmly: "My people have already conducted an investigation in the surrounding area. There are unexpectedly many spies here. If you had not concealed yourself at the time, your identities would have been exposed."

"The other party is able to engage in smuggling business and has deployed so many spies. They can't be fools. Therefore, the possibility of you being ambushed is very high."

Wang Hao looked at her, listened quietly to her speculation, then stretched out his hand and clapped gently.

"That's a good guess. Just as Captain Xiawolei said, they did set a trap at the place of transaction."

Although Wang Hao didn't go out much these days, Team No. 3 has been in action.

After knowing that a large number of Liyue sailors who had lost their jobs might be involved in smuggling, Wang Hao ordered Team No. 3 to continue the investigation.

Not to mention the place where those people were ambushed,
This is their lair, and No. 3 has already figured it out.

Without the Eye of God, those smugglers could not defend themselves against the Shadow Alchemist at all.

That is, there is an unnumbered self-regulatory agency in the lair of those people behind.

These agencies seemed to have strong vigilance capabilities, so Team No. 3 did not continue to sneak in.

Opposite Wang Hao,
When Xia Wole heard Wang Hao's words, her eyes flickered: "So, the envoy also knew that this was a counter-ambush?"

"Of course." Wang Hao nodded, and then said to the shadow behind him, "Number Three, give the things to Captain Xia Wole."

The shadows moved, and Number Three emerged.

Du Tai was shocked. He really didn't know what was in Wang Hao's shadow.
Xia Wole was somewhat surprised, but not frightened.

As the captain of the special patrol team, she has seen a lot of strange things.

Although it was the first time that Xia Volei saw the shadow alchemist of Liyue, it was not enough to make her feel strange.

even,

The existence of Number Three was not as surprising as the document in her hand.

On the document No. 3 handed to Xiawolei,
A detailed map is prominently displayed in it, attracting a lot of attention.

On the map, red circles are marked.

"The big one is their lair, and the small one is their stronghold."

Wang Hao's voice was not loud, but it was extremely powerful.

"As for the biggest one, it's the ambush they prepared. According to Fontaine's organization, they have at least a battalion of self-discipline agencies."

After a pause, Wang Hao looked at Xia Wo Lei with a half-smile: "I don't know how you guys do surveillance, but it's a little unbelievable that such a dangerous device fell into the hands of criminals."

Xiawolei took the document that No. 3 handed to her.

His eyes fell on the map and the information marked on the attachment.

His expression was slightly gloomy.

"It seems that the corruption in the Academy of Sciences is deeper than we thought."

Xia Wolei held the file map in her hand and looked up at Wang Hao. Her expression had returned to calm. "It's really rude to let the envoy see this."

"Haha, Captain Xiawolei, you don't look like a polite person, so there's no need to say such polite words."

Wang Hao waved his hand and said,

"I have only one request, that this matter be resolved as soon as possible so that trade between the two sides can return to normal."

"That's as it should be." Xia Wulei nodded. "Now that we have their detailed information, the next step will be very simple."

"That's right. Since they want to ambush you, it means they don't want to escape immediately."

"I'm going to pounce on them."

Captain Xiawolei is indeed a man of vigorous and decisive character.

Normally, most people would wait for the transaction to begin and then launch a counter-encirclement, so as to catch the criminals in one fell swoop to the greatest extent possible.

But Xiawolei had no intention of waiting a few more days.
Judging from her expression, she might take action tonight.

"Captain Xiawolei, I must remind you that if the raid cannot catch them all, then they will hide deeper."

Wang Hao said with a frown.

According to his idea,

It's best to wait for the transaction.
In order to ambush Wang Hao and others, those smugglers will definitely mobilize all their manpower to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Giving criminals freedom for even one more second is a violation of the law."

Xia Wolei straightened up and stared at Wang Hao.

"Don't worry, messenger. No one will escape."

"In addition to the special patrol team, some people from the Shadow Chasing Court have also come to Soft Light Harbor. They are equipped with security agencies, so they should have no problem dealing with some strongholds."

Xiawolei smiled as she spoke: "If the information you provided is correct, you will be able to see those people in prison tomorrow."

Hear her words,
Wang Hao couldn't help but laugh.

Just now he said something sarcastic,
The other party replied so quickly.

Captain Xiawolei is really a unique person.

"No, tomorrow is too late. How about we act together tonight?"

Wang Hao said seriously.

Chavore frowned.
She was not familiar with Wang Hao.
Considering the strict discipline required for the operation, she did not want to have unfamiliar people involved in the operation.

In addition, as the messenger of Liyue, if Wang Hao was injured or even died, Fontaine would be in trouble.

Therefore, Xiawolei directly refused: "Sorry, raiding criminals is a very dangerous thing. As an envoy, you'd better stay in a safe place."

"Well, it seems like I'm looked down upon."

Wang Hao smiled helplessly, then stretched out his hand. Water elements gathered together, and a spear appeared faintly, emitting a sharp aura.

"Captain Xiawolei, we are not a burden."

Xia Wole had actually seen the Eye of God on Wang Hao and Xingqiu a long time ago.

But the holder of the Eye of God doesn't mean anything.

The criminal gang has a large brigade of self-regulatory agencies that can easily harm or even kill some weak holders of the Eye of God.

However, after Wang Hao showed a little bit of his strength.

Xiawolei's resistance was less.
Wang Hao’s identity changed from an ambassador who needed protection to a strong man who could protect others.

The strong always have privileges.

Especially in this campaign against criminals,

One more strong person means fewer casualties.

"If you want to follow, you can, but you need to obey orders."

Chavore took a step back.

Wang Hao dispersed the water element and nodded: "Of course."

He also led several teams.

It is very important to know how to follow orders in this kind of operation.

Although he could easily kill the smuggling gang alone,
But it didn’t fit his vision.

Follow the action team to find the Liyue people who are cooperating with the smuggling gang, and then see how the law enforcement agencies in Fontaine operate.
This is Wang Hao’s purpose.

"Then please ask the messenger to get ready and set off on time after 6pm."

Xiawolei said.

She didn't say any specific plans, and Wang Hao didn't ask.

The two sides just dispersed.

After leaving the meeting room,

Shi Jie then said, "Should I go too?"

Wang Hao shook his head: "If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. It's not a big deal."

"Then I won't go. You and Xingqiu can go. I will continue to collect the data of merchant ships." Shi Jie said.

"Okay." Wang Hao nodded, then looked at Xingqiu, "Be careful at night. The self-discipline agency of Fontaine should not be underestimated. Don't let anything go wrong."

There was still some excitement on Xingqiu's face. After so many days, he could finally do justice.

Hearing Wang Hao's voice, he also restrained himself a little and nodded seriously: "Don't worry."

……

at dusk,

Under the gaze of passing sailors,

A large number of guards in blue uniforms gathered, followed by teams of security agencies.

Xia Volei stood at the front and looked around: "The targets have been handed to you, get ready to act."

"Yes."

The guards responded and quickly boarded several airships not far away.

Xia Wole walked to Wang Hao and Xingqiu, followed by dozens of elite musketeers.

"You two, let's go too."

Wang Hao looked around and suddenly asked, "Have you taken down all the spies?"

He found that the spies who had been following him seemed to have disappeared.

Xia Wo Lei's face was calm: "Since we are going to take action, we must first find out the spies. Although we don't know if they are part of the smuggling gang, it will definitely be right to arrest them first."

Hearing this, Wang Hao nodded: "Indeed."

As they were talking, everyone boarded an airship.

With a slight shake, the airship took off and, under the control of the pilot, flew towards the lair of the smuggling gang.

I have to say that the regular army is different.
Even if Xiawolei didn't clear out her spies, the speed of the airship would be faster than the speed at which they could transmit information.

Without the restriction of terrain, the airship can travel very fast.

Wang Hao estimated that it could reach over 250 kilometers per hour. (The maximum speed of modern airships is around kilometers per hour.)
Although it still seems very slow from the barrage.

But in Teyvat, this speed of travel is already very fast.

"Captain Xiawolei, I want to ask, are you selling this airship technology?"

Wang Hao couldn't help but ask.

Transportation is always one of the important factors that balance commercial activities.

If there was this airship, Liyue's business would definitely be more prosperous.

Xia Wole was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Wang Hao to ask this.

She thought for a while before speaking, "The airship technology belongs to the Academy of Sciences. If the envoy is interested, maybe he can ask someone from the Academy later. I don't have any information to give you."

She is just a special patrol team captain, not a technician.

Hearing this, Wang Hao was not disappointed, but nodded: "Well, it seems that I need to contact the people of Fontaine Academy of Sciences."

"However, the airship uses Manghuang energy, which may not be replenished outside of Fontaine."

Xiawolei reminded.

"Well, I know that, but as long as there is the corresponding technology, it is not difficult to find an alternative energy source."

Wang Hao nodded and said.

Manghuang energy is indeed hard to find outside of Fontaine.
But as long as the energy system is replaced with elemental power or even immortal power, it will not be a difficult task.

You must believe in the wisdom of Master Liuyunjiefeng.

She was able to localize the Kanreya technology sent by Zhidong to Liyue, so Fontaine's technology could definitely be done as well.

was saying,

The airship paused slightly.
Xia Wulei suddenly became serious and looked at the special patrol members behind him: "We have arrived at the designated location, everyone act according to the plan."

Then he looked at Wang Hao and Xingqiu and said, "You two are not in our battle sequence, so please provide flexible support."

She actually thought about incorporating Wang Hao and Xingqiu into the battle sequence.
But because I really didn't understand, I gave up.

In combat, it is taboo to incorporate things you don't understand into your team.

It is very likely that one move will affect the entire body and lead to a bad situation.

"Don't worry, we understand."

Wang Hao and Xingqiu nodded.

Xiawolei glanced at them and then stopped talking.

The airship slowly descended.

After a muffled sound,
The special patrol team began to leave the airship in an orderly manner.

A quiet march followed.

Of course they couldn't fly the airship over the enemy's lair.

The place where the airship stopped is still some distance away from the smugglers' lair.

However, these special patrol team members are indeed elite.

After just ten minutes of rapid march, a secret entrance appeared in front of everyone.

This was supposed to be a natural cave.

After being occupied by smugglers, the doorway had more cover.

Everyone stopped.

Xia Wole looked at Wang Hao.

Number 3 appeared under Wang Hao's feet and nodded to Xia Wole.

Get confirmed information,
Xiawolei waved to his men.

"Everyone, follow me."

With their rifles loaded, they approached the secret base in an orderly manner.

now,

At the entrance of the smuggler's lair,

There wasn't even a gatekeeper.

Xia Wole led his men closer and closer, but no one noticed them.

A little closer,
Everyone heard laughter and cursing coming from the cave.

There seemed to be a party going on inside.

Xiawolei's eyes lit up with joy, and then she gave her subordinate a look.

A special patrol team member immediately stepped forward and took out several spherical devices from his waist.

Xia Wole took it, squeezed it, and then threw it into the cave.

"This is the Fontaine Special Patrol. You are surrounded. Put down your weapons, put your hands on your head, and come out to surrender."

She shouted into the cave.

Soon,
Curses were heard from the cave.

"You running dogs of Fontaine, go eat shit."

"Want me, your grandpa, to surrender? Ask your mother to come."

"Everyone rush out and kill Fontaine's lackeys."

In addition to the cursing, there were also a lot of mechanical activation sounds.

Judging from the noise, the other party probably has no intention of surrendering.
