The Epoch gold mine had just started, and Cao Mo did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and explained Lucy's resignation, Sterna's arrival to take over the cook's work, and the new residence, and the next morning, he rushed back to Lonta with Potus and others, who had sent Stena to Draculamo.

On the way, Cao Mo was still thinking about discussing with the old chief about expanding the tribe's vegetable planting, and the motorcycle had not yet entered the chief's compound, when a group of children in the tribe rushed over barefoot and shouted:

"The police have come into the tribe to arrest you, you should hide......"

Cao Mo was taken aback, he was so dignified that he didn't break any law, and occasionally went to Longta Town, but he only purchased the necessary materials for the mine, how could he be targeted by the local police?

There were no police cars in the village, and there was no old chief Felician, and a worker ran out of the old chief Felician's house, and Cao Mo knew that the old chief Felician had just accompanied four policemen to the mine.

Kabuja had a satellite phone in his hand, but when the police ran to the tribe, Cao Mo was also on his way back to the village of Ibogu, and the mobile phone had no signal, so Kabuja could contact him.

Kabuja and the old chieftain Felician led the police to the mine first, leaving a worker to guard the tribe, waiting for Cao Mo to return and tell him to hide first.

Cao Mo was a little panicked in his heart, he was so reluctant, not only in the mine, but also in the Longta Market, he was also doing things in the name of the Felician family, why was he targeted by the local department?

Cao Mo didn't feel that all his formalities were compliant, and it would be okay if he was targeted by the local law enforcement department, but now that everything was unclear, he couldn't just hide regardless of it.

Cao Mo stubbornly rushed to the mine with Botu and the others, and a group of children watching the excitement ran barefoot behind them and ran towards the mine.

In front of the mining shed, an old Nissan sedan with rusty corners and no local police station logo is parked on the car.

In addition to the mine workers, there were many villagers gathered in front of the wooden house, which was his temporary residence in the mine, and the lintel was still nailed to the door number of the general manager's office.

The safe, as well as the gold dust and other valuables collected every day, are kept in Kabuja and Owema's room - there is no full-time treasurer in the mine for the time being, and Owema is usually in charge of the key to the safe, but if there is anything to be accessed from the safe, Owema gives the key to Kabuja, and Kabuja accesses it with the password and key.

Cao Mo arranged this, on the one hand, he expressed his trust in Kabuja and Owema, and let them be responsible for the most important things in the mine.

There is another reason why Cao Mo will not say it.

That is, he was worried that there were really some workers in the mine colluding with the criminal syndicates outside, and he put the safe in his room, wouldn't it be more dangerous?

Seeing the miners and the villagers watching the excitement gathered at the door of his room, Cao Mo was a little relieved, at least the safe had not been raided by the police at this time.

Kabuja did not follow Felician and Owema and accompany the police into the mining area to search, but hid in the ravine, and when he saw Cao Mo and Botu rushing back to the mine, he ran over and said anxiously:

"It's not for someone to stop you at the entrance of the village, why did you rush back?"

"I haven't broken the law, what's the way to hide? Why did the police find the mine, why didn't they even have a police car, they ran over with a broken car, have you confirmed their identities, are they real police or fake police?" Cao Mo took a breath, calmed himself down first, and asked Kabuja continuously.

"It was said that someone reported us for illegal mining, and that the mine illegally hired foreign labor......

The police drove into the tribe, and Kabuja and Owema rushed to the tribe as soon as possible, but the police were a powerful department in Kanem, and even if they didn't come in a police car, Kabuja didn't think to question their identity.

The old chieftain Felician also seemed to be afraid of the local police department, and did not dare to lead the villagers and the mine workers to stop him.

This is not difficult to understand.

Old chieftains Felician and Owema were veterans of the 5th junta, who were purged from the army after the 5th junta was overthrown by a coup d'état, but the repression of them by the 6th junta did not stop, and they had a hard time locally over the years.

Kanem's sixth military junta was in power for more than eight years, and by 02 it had accepted the United Nations arrangement, peacefully ending its rule, and holding democratic elections.

Therefore, from the federal government of Kanem to the regions, the long-term power of the sixth military government is still extremely powerful and influential, and it has not been purged because the democratically elected government came to power.

For example, the police force in the Lunta region has not changed blood after the democratically elected government came to power.

It is not surprising, then, that the old chieftain Felician was afraid of the municipal authority that would emerge from the elections in Lonta.

“......”

Cao Mo was about to ask for some details, when he saw Felician, Owema and others accompanied by four uniformed local policemen and walked out of the wooden house.

Four policemen were holding a pile of things that had been searched from his room, Owema and several workers were angrily trying to stop the policemen from taking them away, and Felician was a little calmer and was arguing with the police.

The four policemen did not listen to their arguments and stopped them, and they were about to go to the Nissan car.

"Who are you?" Cao Mo rushed forward, stopped the four policemen, and questioned sharply in Yoruba.

The four policemen probably didn't expect a foreigner to be so proficient in Yoruba, and they were a little stunned for a while, but the middle-aged policeman led by him first came to his senses and replied in Yoruba: "We are from the Longta Police Station, and we suspect that this is illegal mining and employing foreign labor, who are you?"

"I am the Director of Operations and Technology employed by the Felician Family Gold Mining Company, a fully documented mining company licensed by the Canton of Oyo and in accordance with the laws of Kanem. I don't know why you suspect that this is illegal mining and illegal employment of foreign labor. From my superficial understanding of Kanem's national laws, even if someone reports illegal labor and mining, it should be the immigration and mining authorities who enforce the law. I don't know why you're here, please show your police ID and search permit, there are many vicious crimes of Kanem pretending to be a police officer to rob businesses, I won't allow you to take these things away until you show your police ID and search permit......"

Cao Mo stiffened his head and scolded sharply.

These grandsons are really picky, and they want to take all the valuable gadgets in his room, and the little bag of golden sands that he didn't have time to put in the safe today, which alone is worth three or four thousand dollars.

Regardless of whether their actions this time are aimed at the old chief Felician again, they really want to make them take things away so easily, taste the sweetness, there is still no peace here?

"Who are you, it's your turn to stand up and speak—if you don't get out, I'll handcuff you back to the police station for questioning!" The middle-aged policeman stared at Cao Mo brutally, telling him to get out of the way.

Intuition told Cao Mo that the identities of the four policemen were true, but they did not have any search permits on them, and no one reported them at all, they simply heard someone say that the gold volume of the Ibogu gold mine had surged, and they specially came to the door to blackmail old Felician.

Looking at the reactions of the old chief Felician and the surrounding villagers, it can be seen that even after the democratically elected government came to power, the old chief and Owema have not been targeted by the local law enforcement department.

Only this time he was bumped into.

It's just that these cops are robbing him of his money, and when he tastes the sweetness, he will keep coming to the door to extort money in the future!

This strong intuition made Cao Mo angry.

Cao Mo has dealt with the police in Kanem, and at the same time, he knows very well that his attitude has softened at this moment, not only will the local police come to the door from time to time to fight the autumn wind, but various law enforcement departments are very likely to pounce on him like fierce vultures to search for him and gnaw at him.

Of course, these four policemen seemed to be menacing, but their intuition told Cao Mo that his appearance made these four policemen feel a little weak, and they seemed to be frightened by his righteousness.

Cao Mo's head was hot, and he walked to the motorcycle angrily, uncovered the cushion, took out a gun, and "bang" it was two shots in the sky, and then walked to the four policemen, pointed the gun at the middle-aged policeman's head, and said sharply: "I suspect that you are robbers pretending to be policemen, who dares to move, I collapse whom—I say again, please show police ID and search permit, otherwise you don't want to take away a single hair!"

The two gunshots rang out "bang", startling the forest birds to fly wildly, and the onlookers and villagers were also shocked, not expecting that the Chinese overseers, who usually have a gentle attitude and teach and discipline the workers, let Kabuja and Owema rush in front, will be so bloody and fierce at this time.

The blood in the chests of Owema and several miners was also aroused, and they screamed and punched and kicked when they stepped forward.

The four policemen were stupid, lying on the ground and not daring to fight back, and begged Cao Mo for mercy with a trembling voice: "Don't shoot, the documents are in our pockets, you come and pick them up - Felician, Owema, they all know us." When we got the report, we went straight to the mine without a search permit, but we were indeed ...... from the Lonta police station."

Cao Mo didn't care, let alone be stupid to verify their identities, and shouted at the four policemen:

"I don't care if Mr. Felician recognizes you or not, you don't have a search permit, you break into the mine illegally, you are robbers! Who knows if you have documents in your pockets, who knows if these so-called documents are real or fake, who knows if Mr. Felician has been deceived by you all the time - Kanem is a great country, but the damn law and order is too chaotic, there are robbers pretending to be police everywhere, if you are really a policeman, why don't you fight these robbers, but come to our well-behaved industrial mines to harass you? Let you go this time, get out of here!"

Watching the four policemen leave, Cao Mo told the truth, but she was still panicked.

It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, these policemen are real head snakes, and they are obviously bullying the head of the old chief Felician, and he doesn't say anything about the strong dragon, now he is just a small loach.

Although he drove the four policemen away, it would be pure self-deception to say that he was not worried that they would turn around and find a way to retaliate, and that he did not panic, but in front of Owema, Kabuja, and the old chief Felician, even if he pretended, he had to calm down and clarify the situation......
