Chapter XVIII: Expulsion (II)
The colonel looked to be in his forties, he was thin and lean, and his eyes were sharper like an eagle. And in the hands of this colonel, he was fooled two years ago by Shaoying, and only bought a "super" foreign language translator in his pocket.
"Are you related to al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamic movement?"
"When did you receive military training, and did you come to Somalia to provide military training to the rebels?"
These two questions were already a clichΓ©, and after Shi Shaoying took the trouble to answer, the colonel's eyes turned and he suddenly asked, "Where did you get your boots?" β
Shi Shaoying replied casually: "I bought it on Taobao!" β
Shi Shaoying is wearing a pair of high-waisted military and police riot boots manufactured by the 3515 Military Factory, this kind of boots is not very exquisite, but the materials are not ambiguous, they will not be out of shape after two or three years, and a steel plate is added to the sole interlayer, even if you accidentally step on sharp specialties such as steel nails, or encounter broken glass all over the ground, it will not cause damage to your feet.
Compared with those men's leather shoes that cost thousands or even thousands of yuan, this kind of military and police riot boots that can be bought for 200 yuan on Taobao, and come with a pair of socks and an insoles, are obviously of better quality and more durable. For a man like Shi Shaoying, who has had an indissoluble bond with the military camp all his life, he is more accustomed to dressing. οΌ
The colonel, apparently not understanding what the "Taobao Net" was, took out a photograph. The protagonist in the photograph is carrying an automatic rifle, and at the moment when the shutter of the camera flashes, he is running through the city streets, raising the automatic rifle in his hand to fire.
The Colonel reached out and tapped on the photograph, "These terrorists wear the same boots as you wear on your feet. β
I'm!
Shi Shaoying's eyes widened, he was really going to cry and laugh.
In the past 20 years, China has been desperately developing its foreign trade, and I don't know how many products have rushed into the international market at low prices, especially light weapons, which are even more popular in third world countries because they are cheap and of excellent quality. In some areas, even the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, which are no longer used by the Chinese militia, are still in demand.
Those terrorists wore a pair of leather boots made in a medium ** factory on their feet, and Shi Shaoying happened to wear a pair of them, what does this mean?
"I've read reports of violent clashes between you and other inmates in prison, and the warden has repeatedly asked us to take you away, believing that if you stay in, not only will your life be in danger at any time, but if you don't handle it properly, it may even trigger a large-scale armed riot among the inmates, and we don't want to see this."
The colonel looked at Shi Shaoying's gaze, with professional vigilance, and Shi Shaoying's answer obviously did not make him relieved. In the eyes of professional agents, the conflict between Shi Shaoying and Islamic radicals broke out in prison, and even caused death, which can also be interpreted as ulterior motives in the eyes of professional agents!
But the colonel still opened his desk and took out a ticket and a document from it, "This is a guarantee, as long as you sign it, you can get back everything that belongs to you, and take this ticket to the Kenyan capital by plane at three o'clock this afternoon." Once there, you can enjoy the afterglow of the sunset while eating the most delicious food, and if you are willing to pay, you can find a beautiful girl to relax with you and forget about your trip to Somalia that was not so pleasant. β
Shi Shaoying stared at the letter of guarantee in front of him, even if he couldn't understand the words on it, which were still like a letter from heaven, he also understood that this was a promise that he would never return to Somalia under any circumstances. As long as he signs his name in the lower right corner of this document, he will be escorted out of the country by the Somali authorities and will never be able to set foot on the country's soil again.
But what can it be, you know, as long as he signs this document, at the same time he will find back one's most precious freedom! After a week of eating in prison, my body was so dirty, and my eyes began to turn green with hunger, I took a shower and enjoyed delicious food, and this series of temptations became infinitely strong.
Under the gaze of the colonel, Shi Shaoying grabbed the pen, and before signing, Shi Shaoying's movements paused slightly, "What about the friend who came to Somalia with me?" Her name is Sikong Bowen and she is a journalist. By the way, and Shimar, who was brought here with me for interrogation last time, do you know if you know the ...... of the two of them?"
"My patience is limited, if you don't want to sign, I can send you back to prison immediately!"
Colonel Huo Ran stood up, he propped his hands on the desk and leaned forward, his eyes as sharp as eagle falcons, staring at Shi Shaoying, "I don't like you foreigners, and I don't like war correspondents!" Our country is at war, and every day there is blood shed because of the war, but this is our own dispute, we can solve it ourselves, what does it have to do with you? β
"Those of you who live in peace and are called 'uncrowned kings' come running with your cameras on your backs and print in the newspapers what is happening around us, so that some people who have nothing to do all day long can leisurely drink afternoon tea while flipping through the newspaper with a casual attitude, and then sigh a few times to express sympathy for us. Do you like to use such comparisons to show your nobility and civilization, and do you have to use other people's misfortunes to prove your happiness? ! β
Maybe the colonel didn't mean to target, but his words left Shi Shaoying speechless. He didn't say anything more, just picked up the pledge and signed his name in the lower right corner of it.
With no way to get in touch with Sikong Bowen and Himar, and not even knowing their current situation, after signing the guarantee, Shi Shaoying was escorted to Mogadishu International Airport by four armed soldiers with loaded guns, and under their surveillance, boarded a passenger plane that was about to fly to the Kenyan capital half an hour later.
Sitting on the seat that was in disrepair and his body shook slightly, he would make a "squeak" sound, and watched several soldiers get off the plane, and finally regained his freedom, the first thing he did was to quickly open his backpack. Fortunately, although the Somali National Security Service personnel repeatedly checked his belongings, even the compartment inside the backpack belt, they still disdained to smuggle Shi Shaoying's belongings, and Shi Shaoying and Sikong Bowen bought instant noodles, mustard vegetables, ham sausages and other foods from a small supermarket before leaving for Beijing were no less.
Instant noodles made with fine flour mixed with egg whites and fried are put into the mouth and bitten hard, making a series of "squeak" and "squeak" sounds. I fumbled in the backpack and found another ham sausage, and without even peeling off the red plastic skin on the outside, I bit it directly, and after biting the ham sausage in two with this absolutely barbaric method, I squeezed the ham sausage into my mouth with a toothpaste-like method. The rich gravy swirled on the tip of his tongue, and Shi Shaoying chewed while revealing a satisfied sigh in his mouth.
"You've got a pretty good appetite."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Shi Shaoying, who was fighting hard with food, raised his head, and stood in front of him, the man who was looking at him with a strange gaze, it was Ximar who had broken up from prison seven days ago and had never been in touch again!
Seven days was not a long time, but Shimar looked visibly haggard, his whole body was full of fatigue caused by a long lack of rest, even the travelers who walked four or five meters away reached out to cover their noses, because the smell of sweat was too strong on Himar's body.
Himar was still wearing the jeans he had changed into when he left prison seven days earlier, and the white shirt. It's just that now the white shirt is covered with dust and sweat, and has turned gray and black.
Ignoring the strange gazes of the other passengers and their movements of reaching out to cover their noses, Ximar just stared at the food in Shi Shaoying's hand and suddenly asked, "Is it delicious?" β
