Ai Fan is a very smart person.
After such a long period of contact, Shen Que had already noticed it.
She is the advisor behind Pei Li and the real operator behind the prosperity of Baisha Star.
It is impossible that she has never had doubts about this marriage.
But she still deliberately handed the mineral business over to her. If it was just for testing, the risk might not be too great.
If it wasn't for testing, there were only two reasons left.
First, she had absolute trust in the Queen and believed that she would never take action against Sha Jin.
Second... she needed a bait, a bait that could shake up the current situation on Baisha Star and lure out the big fish behind it.
Pei Ji said this in the casino.
You are the right time.
He is the bait.
Originally, Ai Fan was not in such a hurry to take action, and there was enough time for him to get familiar with everything.
But after what happened yesterday, she should have realized that if she didn't take action now, it would be too late.
"Her Majesty the Queen believes that someone is smuggling the gold from Baisha Star." Shen Que said bluntly.
"What's the reason?" Ai Fan asked.
"Unregistered high-end mechas appeared on the dark web. The Imperial Court sent personnel to intercept several of them following the clues. After investigation, it was discovered that the sand gold used to make them came from White Sand Planet."
High-purity gold sand is an essential material for manufacturing advanced mechas.
According to the treaty, all the gold sand produced on Baisha Star with a purity of more than 88% should be supplied to the empire.
"In fact, the smuggling of gold dust has always existed. Although the laws on Baishaxing are very strict, it is a very lucrative business. Where there is money to be made, there are desperate people."
Ai Fan said slowly.
"In desert areas, sand bandits and space pirates often attack small mining areas, plundering ore and gold to sell on the black market."
Shen Que: "But from what I understand, the amount of gold in those small-scale mining areas is already small, and gold with a purity of over 88% after filtering is even rarer."
"It's not impossible to build an S-class mecha with those rare sand gold, but it would take a long time to accumulate it."
"So, there are a large number of advanced mechas appearing on the dark web?" Ai Fan understood something.
Shen Que nodded, "It's far more than what an individual can produce."
Ai Fan asked: "Why did those mechas appear on the dark web?"
The dark web of StarNet mainly conducts some illegal transactions, including inhibitors, guns and ammunition, and mechas.
Shen Que: "Someone is secretly looking for interstellar merchants to secretly transport those mechas out of the Ikaros system."
Ai Fan's face darkened: "The destination can't be..."
Shen Que nodded.
"The destination is the Eden system."
The Zerg's lair.
A cool breeze blew, and ripples appeared in the pond, sparkling like broken silver in the moonlight.
A few insect chirps could be heard from the shallow grass.
Ai Fan looked at the swaying shadows of the trees under his feet, and after a while he continued, "So what do you think?"
She turned to face Shen Que.
"Where do you think the loopholes in our production line are?"
Shen Que frowned slightly, and the loose hair and silver jewelry on his forehead were tangled together in the breeze.
There are indeed some gaps in the Minerals Department's accounts.
But among these omissions, all the mismatched data point to other minerals, not alluvial gold.
He originally thought that Gabi was fooling Xingyao, the deputy minister who was not sensitive to financial statements, and making money from transactions with other minerals.
His actions also prove this.
They colluded with the Quality Inspection Department to gradually replace the identification instruments, replacing those with problems with those with problems, lowering the inspection standards, and passing off lower-grade ores as higher-grade ores, and then making a profit from the price difference.
However, after what happened before, Shen Que discovered that, in fact, because of Xingyao's existence, Gabi had hardly gained any benefits.
He must have been very impatient about this, so he increased his efforts.
For the recent order from Lan He, Gabi had made all the necessary preparations and replaced all the testing equipment. One reason was to make a fortune, and the other was to use this opportunity to suppress Xingyao's status in the department - although he didn't have much status to begin with.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed again when encountering Jin Yi, a double-standard and biased person.
Since there is no problem with the transaction itself, it can only mean that the problem lies in the report.
Someone secretly modified the report, trying to divert the problem to other minerals, thereby diverting attention and covering up the real problem.
The problem of gold sand.
But the manager of Shajin Line is Jin Yi.
As Pei Ji's companion to the crown prince, his father was in a high position of power and would not be easily controlled by others. He also had excellent working ability. Even if the things he handled were not 100% reliable, they were close to 100% credible.
From this we can see that the loophole can only occur in the part that Lian Jinyi cannot intervene in and manage.
Shen Que raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Abandoned mine."
Ai Fan's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if they could reach the deepest part of people's hearts.
A calm and steady voice sounded.
"Yes, an abandoned mine."
…
In the desert area, an abandoned mine.
The flowing desert lakes cover up this once rich mining area.
Due to the severe sandstorms and desert worms, the terrain here is completely different from when it was a mining factory.
The slag and gravel are covered with dry soso grass, and at first glance, they almost completely blend in with the undulating sand dunes.
In the bright moonlight, a cloaked figure pushed aside the swaying sossop grass and opened the entrance to the mine.
The moonlight slanted into the hidden pit buried in the sand, leaving water-like light and shadows on the uneven walls.
The square lighting device floated in the air, illuminating the one-meter square open space in front.
