Du Ziqian raised his head, stared at Su Tao sharply, and said curiously, "Where did you get the news?"

Su Tao had long known that Du Ziqian would have this question, and he couldn't make public the information about the beacon fire, so he said in a deep voice: "Captain Du, do I seem to be the kind of person who jokes? My source is absolutely reliable, but we can't tell you that this involves some secrets. There are some secrets, the less you know, the less trouble. ”

Su Tao's words somewhat warn Du Ziqian, but this is also a helpless move, Beacon has regulations, and their identities cannot be known to the outside world.

Du Ziqian stared at Su Tao for a long time, and sighed, Su Tao really has no possibility of deceiving himself, and this kind of thing would rather be believed than not, if it is really taken seriously by Su Tao, it is not a matter of losing property, and his life may be lost.

Known for their brutal murder of captives, the Ghost Pirates are the kind of thugs of the seas that all navigators don't want to face.

Du Ziqian lit a cigar, took a deep puff, and said in a deep voice: "There are too few clues, I have to sort out my thoughts carefully." ”

Su Tao smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's very simple to find this person. How many people can know that the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man was transported onto the ship on the high seas?"

Du Ziqian's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "I know that the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man, except for me, there is only the first mate, he has been with me for more than ten years, I am not thin on him, and I have also experienced a lot of difficulties together, he has no reason to betray me and cooperate with the Ghost Pirate Group." ”

The captain is the overall commander of the ship, and is responsible for all the work on board, from the dock, to the channel, and to the bridge in poor visibility. The first mate is the second-in-command, the housekeeper, who eats, drinks, sleeps, is in charge of cargo and distribution, and can take over the captain's command of the whole ship when the captain is unable to command.

Su Tao glanced at Du Ziqian and said with a wry smile: "You have actually been shaken." ”

Du Ziqian sighed and sighed: "He likes to gamble, and most of his money is spent on the casino every year. For this, I also scolded him and made him completely quit his gambling addiction. ”

Su Tao continued to analyze for him: "So he held a grudge and secretly plotted with the ghost pirate group to create a ship robbery?"

The more Du Ziqian thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he immediately stood up, "I'll go to him and ask things clearly." ”

Su Tao hurriedly stopped Du Ziqian, and patiently persuaded him: "If you act now, you will only startle the snake, although we have not yet reached the high seas, it is no accident that we have been locked by the pirate group, and there are also pirate gangs mixed in inside, so now we can only plan it." ”

Du Ziqian frowned and said, "How can you plan it?"

Su Tao lowered his voice and told Du Ziqian about the plan, if he wanted to implement the plan smoothly, Du Ziqian had to cooperate in many places, otherwise, it would be impossible for the security personnel on the ship and the few people in Jiang Jing's group to fight against the well-equipped ghost pirate group.

……

When the sun rises on the sea, two ghost ships are speeding in the wind and waves.

On the deck of one of the ships, a tall man stood in the sea breeze, majestic, looking at the seagulls in the sky, quiet in a beautiful melody, and behind him stood several men in military uniforms, with solemn expressions, motionless, like two stone statues.

The man was wearing a trench coat, his hair was thick and dyed gold, and his face was oriental, and he looked to be around thirty-five years old.

"I just got the news that the Starsailer will be suspended in half an hour, and then the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man will be transported onto the ship. The henchman whispered.

The henchman has a Chinese face, and 20% of the members of the ghost pirate group are of Chinese descent, because he thinks that the Chinese are smarter, flexible, and loyal, and dare to risk their lives in order to make a lot of money.

"According to the original plan, let the six yachts outflank and forcibly board the ship. If there is any resistance, it will be killed. The man ordered without the slightest expression, "By the way, there is a person who should try to stay alive, and he is the person designated by Mr. Qin." Although he doesn't mind having a dead body in his hands, he can sell it for a better price if he is alive. ”

The henchman hurriedly smiled and said, "I will arrange it and try to ensure that you see the living." ”

The man nodded slowly, suddenly took out a gun from his waist, aimed around, and the henchman and the two accompanying bodyguards behind him were suddenly so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, thinking that the man was unhappy about something, and was ready to kill again.

The man smiled coldly, suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at the sky, and after a few gunshots, a seagull screamed miserably and fell directly into the sea.

"My marksmanship has regressed. It took five or six shots to hit the target, and the man sighed a little disappointed.

The henchman sweated in shock, and suddenly the mobile phone on the table not far away rang, and he hurriedly reminded: "Captain Cruise, your mobile phone is ringing." ”

Cruise walked over and picked up his phone, and glanced at a few people behind him, and his subordinates immediately understood, and hurriedly left, keeping the surroundings absolutely quiet.

"Old man, how are things getting ready?" Qin Jingyu asked with a faint smile on the phone.

"Don't worry, everything is fine, no accidents, and in two hours, you will get a satisfactory answer. The Ghost Pirate Leader said confidently.

"If you can do this, I owe you a favor, and I will give you a billion dollars of information in the second half of the year. Qin Jingyu tempted with interests.

Cruise laughed, "I hope you can provide us with excellent equipment rather than intelligence, after all, good weapons are equivalent to more security for our survival and improve our efficiency." ”

Qin Jingyu smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will not only help you upgrade your equipment, but also provide you with an absolutely favorable price." ”

Cruise smiled and said, "I'm more concerned about the big ship I booked, and with it, I can go to Somalia." ”

As described in the popular anime "One Piece", as the great pirate Cruise, he also has the ambition to step on the ocean and become a unique pirate king.

Somalia is located on the "Horn of Africa", guarding the entrance to the Red Sea, and any freighter that wants to cross the Suez Canal through the Red Sea to Europe and North America will have to cross the "terror waters" frequented by pirates. It's a pirate's paradise, but the competition between pirates was fierce, and if they didn't have enough strength to do so without the help of UN law enforcement forces, rivals could have swallowed them up.

Qin Jingyu smiled faintly and promised: "Don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to refit it, a warship of this size must be camouflaged, if it is discovered, there will be many problems." ”

Cruise smiled proudly: "Mr. Qin, when I conquer Somalia, there will be more opportunities for cooperation at that time." ”

Qin Jingyu smiled lightly and said, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

After hanging up Qin Jingyu's phone, a sneer appeared in Cruise's eyes, "Cunning Huaxia monkey." ”

In the process of dealing with Qin Jingyu, Cruise deeply felt that this was not a simple guy and had made a lot of money on himself. However, Cruise can't help it, he knows Qin Jingyu's identity, and being able to cooperate with him is equivalent to relying on the powerful Huaxia. Cruise knew that Qin Jingyu was using himself and trying to reach into the realm of pirates, but why wasn't he using him to strengthen his strength?

In fact, these pirates are the earliest terrorists, they are active in the ocean, more difficult to track and combat than on land, although the ocean shipping market is gradually weakening, but the activities of pirates are becoming more and more rampant, generally only need to do a vote, can eat for three years.

……

The first mate's name is Sun Guowen, he is forty-five years old this year, he met Du Ziqian when he was twenty years old, he started as an ordinary sailor, and now he has become the first mate of this ship, his income is very high, the annual salary and bonus add up to five or six hundred thousand, plus he also does some private work, so the income is not small. But since a few years ago, he was addicted to gambling and often borrowed money from others, and now he has borrowed all of them on the ship, except for the few trainee sailors who have not yet been paid, so no one can afford him now.

Du Ziqian also once ordered him, but Sun Guowen agreed on the surface, but he intensified it, and even borrowed usury, the original principal of five million, and now the interest has accumulated more than 10 million, which really made him a little broken, and when people have no way out, they will jump off the wall in a hurry.

Daniel Zhang and Tu Hao found Sun Guowen a few days ago, planned the hijacking of the ship, had already paid Sun Guowen two million in advance, and when the matter was over, they would give Sun Guowen eight million, so that he could completely replace his debts.

Sun Guowen sneakily came to the cabin where Daniel Zhang was, and after knocking on the door, Daniel Zhang opened the cabin door, Sun Guowen was startled and surprised: "How did you become like this?"

Daniel Zhang was beaten by Su Tao last night, his face was covered with adhesive tape, naturally he looked miserable, he coughed embarrassedly, and explained: "I drank too much last night, and I fell in the shower after I came back." ”

Sun Guowen didn't believe it, who could fall like this? He didn't break it, and said in a low voice: "There is still half an hour, the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man will be sent over, and now that the cruise ship has broken down and docked temporarily, you can prepare to start." ”

The corners of Daniel Zhang's mouth showed a look of satisfaction, and he lowered his voice and said, "Just wait for your notice!" I will notify the two ships to approach this side. ”

Companion Tu Hao frowned and said, "Why is it half an hour earlier than the previously agreed time?"

Sun Guowen explained: "The yacht that transported the Heavenly Sage Bronze Man found that the oil was not filled up halfway. If you keep going, the yacht will be able to catch up, but you won't be able to return. Anyway, now that the cruise ship is already on the high seas, if you don't continue to move forward, wait here, and hand over early, which can be regarded as an early end of the matter. ”

Littoral states may designate the sea area within 200 nautical miles as an exclusive economic zone from the coastline. All the resources in the exclusive economic zone are owned by the relevant coastal countries, so the high seas, which are ungoverned and are located 200 kilometers from the coastline. A yacht of more than 20 meters, sailing at full speed, has only enough fuel for a maximum of twelve hours, according to thirty to forty nautical miles per hour, that is, five hundred nautical miles, if you want to go back and forth, the position of the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man can not be more than two hundred and fifty nautical miles away from the seaport of return.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the cruise ship to dock between 200 nautical miles and 250 nautical miles from the coastline of the island country, and then the two sides will make a handover, and the docking position is now about 15 nautical miles shorter than the previously expected position.

Daniel Zhang frowned, expressed his dissatisfaction, and said to Tu Hao: "Then quickly inform the boss, the original plan has changed slightly." ”
