Zhou Li said calmly.
Sha Yun sat up straight instantly, full of awe.
"Let's get down to business."
Picking up the camel milk, Zhou Li looked at Sha Yun and said, "Do you know why Victor and I reacted so strongly to you before?"
"I was confused."
Nodding, Sha Yun said seriously, "Both you and Victor seemed to have a less-than-favorable impression of me from the start. This is why you became hostile to me the moment I suggested selling items at your academy."
"If my guess is correct..."
Looking at Lan Ling beside her, Sha Yun's tone sank, "It has something to do with the Bai Lan family's 'business', right?"
"It seems you have noticed something."
Zhou Li smiled. He knew that someone like Sha Yun who could become the leader of the Sand Scorpions would not be bad.
“All the raw materials of the Bailan family come from the Fanta Empire.”
Lan Ling looked at Sha Yun and said calmly, "To smuggle raw materials from the Fenda Empire to the Sinai Desert, we need to cross the entire desert. Besides the camel walkers, the only race that can avoid the sandworms and the disasters of the desert is you, the Sand Scorpions."
"The Camel Walkers have long been integrated into the Kingdom of Golden Classic. They would not take such a big risk to transport drugs."
Sha Yun narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Only the Sand Scorpion Tribe... they have nothing but the Sinai Desert."
"So, you've lost control of the Sand Scorpions?"
Zhou Li asked.
"not at all."
What Zhou Li didn't expect was that Sha Yun's answer was that she had not lost control, and the expected power seizure did not happen.
"but."
Sha Yun's face darkened. "The Sand Scorpions are unlike other alien races. They don't have factions or groups. However, because their brains aren't very effective, their responsibilities are often extremely confusing, and there's no unified record at all."
"Except for the Sand Scorpions at the original mine, the other Sand Scorpions' registrations within the tribe are a mess. They have no idea who hired them or what they're supposed to do. Aside from a few Sand Scorpions with relatively normal intelligence, the rest of the Sand Scorpions simply do the work for a fee, never questioning the specifics of the job."
At this point, Sha Yun sighed, a hint of helplessness in her tone. "Plus, I've been studying genetics lately, hoping to fundamentally address the Sand Scorpion's intellectual problems... so I haven't paid much attention to the tribe's affairs."
"You mean the Sand Scorpions are unaware of the drug trafficking?"
Lan Ling asked.
"No, I must know."
Sha Yun's face darkened. "The Sand Scorpions at the mine are led by my trusted aides, so they won't cause any problems. But among the Sand Scorpions in the city, there have always been a few smarter ones leading teams, accepting missions from various guilds."
"It must be a few captains who went wrong, which led to the Sand Scorpions becoming tools for drug trafficking. As for the Sand Scorpions below, they won't understand what they did until they die."
If someone else said these words, Zhou Li would definitely think that they were making excuses for race.
But if the Sand Scorpion Clan leader said this, Zhou Li would think there was nothing wrong with it.
It fits the mental state of the Sand Scorpion people very well.
It can only be said that God is generally fair. Sand Scorpions possess extremely strong physiques and extremely high spiritual resistance, which makes them perfect warriors from birth. Therefore, God decided to take away their brains, making them pure morons that even Berserkers look down upon.
Therefore, Zhou Li felt that the probability of this group of idiots being deceived into drug trafficking was ridiculously high.
"Do you have a list of your captains?"
Zhou Li asked.
"Have."
Nodding, Sha Yun cooperated by pulling out a piece of paper. Clearly, she had already begun investigating this matter. "The Sand Scorpions have a total of six captains, responsible for leading the Sand Scorpions in the city to take on various missions."
Zhou Li glanced at the list, its names and characteristics clearly displayed. He quickly found one that looked familiar and asked, "Is this guy with the Crescent Moon Saber and the Sand Dive ability also the captain?"
"Well, his name is Sullivan, and he's considered the smartest captain I have."
Nodding, Sha Yun said, "His intelligence is completely comparable to that of a normal human. He is a rare wise man. Have you met him?"
"Ah."
Zhou Li nodded, "It's almost time for it to transform into a corpse."
?
Sha Yun was stunned.
"What is certain is that Sullivan is definitely trafficking drugs."
Zhou Li said calmly, "We found a piece of shaved ice on him, which is enough to make a ton of wocao ice, enough to hang sand scorpion men on all the streetlights in Datang."
Sha Yun's face turned pale. "One ton?"
"almost."
Zhou Li gloated and said, "I guess all this year's goods are in his hands."
Sha Yun was stunned.
She originally thought that even if the Sand Scorpions were involved, they would only give away a few pounds at most, and she would have a way to make up for it in the end.
A ton.
According to the Kingdom's criminal law, a ton of blood wouldn't simply kill an entire family. Most likely, all the Sand Scorpions would play a game together to kill their entire family, or even a AAA game like "Connect the Heads."
“No… No.”
Sha Yun was a bit overwhelmed at this moment. As a scholar, she had never expected her subordinates to be so audacious. She couldn't understand it. Sha Liming was obviously the smartest Sand Scorpion besides herself. Didn't he know the consequences of selling a ton of drugs?
"Let's cooperate."
Zhou Li handed the list to Sha Yun and said calmly, "Lan Ling and I have the same goal. We don't want the place where we live to be polluted by this stuff. As for you, your goal should be the same as ours. However, we want to live a good life. You have to live to survive."
Sha Yun looked at Zhou Li with an obscure look in her eyes.
After a long while, she sighed and said softly:
"I'll give you a new list with their addresses and specific abilities."
"now it's right."
Zhou Li forced a smile and said, "Also, you have a way to help us sneak into the central city, right?"
"You have long been wanted by the Bai Lan family."
Sha Yun looked at Zhou Li and said slowly:
"There's no point in getting in there and saying things like that."
With a stern look in her eyes, Sha Yun gritted her teeth and said, "Just walk in with me openly, and I'll see who dares to stop me."
Chapter 43 Emerging wisdom out of desperation
There are five Sand Scorpions on the list.
In the secret room, Zhou Li's fingers stroked the brand new paper. He looked at the five names on the list, leaned back slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'm not sure if all five of them did it."
Sha Yun pulled out her magic book, opened it, and placed it on the table. She said, "I checked the underground magic network of the Fanta Empire. The raw materials needed for something like shaved ice can be highly compressed. Therefore, even if it is smuggled, only a few people are needed to transport it."
"Each of these five captains has thirty Sand Scorpion members, a total of one hundred and fifty-five. If they all did..."
Sighing, Sha Yun said frankly, "Then it's all over."
One or two can be eliminated secretly to ensure that no one is alerted. If there are dozens of them, it is not a bad idea to use some paternal methods. When the time comes, pay a little more money to find someone to rescue them, and even a few deaths may be avoided.
If all 150 people did it, the whole family would be saved.
"Hey."
Sighing, Zhou Li looked at Lan Ling and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Lan Ling said honestly, "I don't dare."
Zhou Li and Lan Ling's ideas are surprisingly consistent - they dare not guess what the Sand Scorpion people are thinking.
Come on, these are Sand Scorpions, the Changshu Arnos chosen by Chaos. Who knows what kind of magical thoughts and ideas are stored in their minds? According to common sense, in situations like this, one should start to put themselves in the suspect's shoes and begin to imagine how they would act if they were the criminals.
But Zhou Li and Lan Ling did not dare to put themselves in the shoes of the Sand Scorpion people.
He was afraid that they would start asking each other questions directly, "Then let me ask you."
"Are they all in the city?"
Zhou Li asked.
"Three are in the city, and two are in Central City."
Sha Yun said with a headache, "They probably haven't been on any missions during this period, so... taverns, stages, or casinos. Who knows where they went?"
Zhou Li said nothing, but just started thinking.
think.
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore.
Sighing, Zhou Li said to Sha Yun, "Is there any way to get them together?"
"It's hard."
Sha Yun thought for a moment and said with a headache, "Although I am the leader of the Sand Scorpion Tribe, the Sand Scorpion Tribe rarely calls all the captains together. If everyone is called back suddenly, it is very likely that those with problems will notice and become alert."
"Yeah, reasonable."
Zhou Li nodded.
Lan Ling was also having a headache. She didn't know how to gather all the captains of the Sand Scorpion people together. She couldn't just say that the toilet in the Sand Scorpion mansion exploded and let them...
"and many more."
Zhou Li and Lan Ling suddenly realized something, looked at each other, and nodded together.
"good idea."
Zhou Li said.
"really."
