553. Decision on the spot
Ahmad had a headache when he heard the long list of names. Although he was an Arab himself, he hated it when people put their father's name and grandfather's name into their name. In official Arabic documents, a person's name must contain his or her own name, patronymic, grandfather's name, and surname in order to be complete.
Ahmad was an orphan who did not even know his own surname, and the imam of the mosque adopted him and gave him only one name, which was added later.
"Abdullah, huh?" Seeing his yellowed teeth, Ahmad took a cigarette out of his pocket and threw one at him, "Speak slowly, tell me everything you know." ”
"Yes, sir." Adullah Rashad Rashid Butsbrahi Itsjeerahi Tseshalasha Mudzhile took the cigarette and lit it with an excited expression, as if he had been rewarded by the president.
"I'm the caretaker here, I've been working here for more than a decade, and I know the situation here very well. But today's events are so strange that nothing like this has ever happened. I was on guard in the duty room in Menkaura, and there were two Asians who climbed the pyramids, oh I swear, I really didn't notice them, they were climbing so fast, like apes, these two officers can testify for me. ”
Adula took a deep breath of his cigarette and looked innocent, "Seeing that a sandstorm is about to start, we desperately shouted below to let them down, but they didn't. But to be honest, the speed of the sandstorm was so fast that even if they wanted to, they would probably be blown down by the wind on the way. ”
Ahmad was a little irritated, "Does this have anything to do with what happened in the dungeon?" Please get to the point. ”
"Oh, okay, okay, you asked me to say it slowly, so I think this has something to do with the affairs of the underground palace!" "I mean, when the sandstorm happened, we couldn't see anything, but there were three rays of light in the sky shining on the tips of the three pyramids, very bright. ”
"Three rays of light?" Ahmad remembered the sandstorm as if he had seen flashes of light in the darkness in the direction of Giza, and he thought they were lightning from the clouds.
"That's right, it's three rays of light, like flashlights shining down from the sky, and one of them shines on the couple who climbed up to Menkaura." "Then the pyramid caught fire and became three big fires. ”
"Did you see that?" Ahmad asked the man next to him.
Tourists shook their heads.
"Oh, I swear, I'm telling the truth." Adula said.
"What about couples? Where are you now? Ahmad looked in the crowd.
"They're gone." Adula waved his hand calmly, as if saying goodbye to someone.
Ahmad felt that Adullah's words were not credible, so he said: "Tell me about the things in the underground palace, and do not add oil and vinegar, I will go down and see in a moment." ”
"I swear to the Lord that I am telling the truth." Adu stretched out his right index finger and pointed it to the sky, "I was feeling hot, and the damn sand was like it had been roasted in the fire, so I ran as hard as I could, until I reached the clearing between Khafre and Khufu to feel better." I saw two camels lying on the ground, and knowing that it was for tourists to take pictures, I hid next to the camels to avoid the wind and sand. Those camel dealers are really not things, and they actually say that I rely on their camels to collect my money. I gave my name, and they knew me and knew that I was the caretaker.
We heard a lot of tourists shouting something, it was not clear due to the strong wind, but the direction was in the direction of the Pyramid of Khufu. I thought something was wrong, so I asked the camel dealer to take the camel and go with me. When I got there, I met a few tourists, who had just escaped from the pyramid of Khufu, saying that they had found an underground palace inside, and that several daring tourists had already gone down.
The camel dealer encouraged me to go in, because I was familiar with the inside of the pyramid and I could walk through the passages with my eyes closed. I said: wait for the police and experts to come. But they said that there must be treasures in the dungeon, and when the police came, they would not be able to catch anything. They did not listen to my persuasion, and went in without permission.
After the sandstorm stopped, the two police officers also came, and the people in the pyramid had not yet come out, so we decided to go in and have a look. Officer Adufu stayed outside to maintain order, and Officer Basemu and I went in. Inside the Pyramid of Khufu there was already an unfinished basement, which was originally not allowed to be visited by tourists, but now there are new passages there. In that passage, we found bodies, disemboweled, covered in blood and crushed internal organs. ”
When Adullah said this, the patrolman next to him, Basemu, vomited again.
"How many corpses are there? Are there any alive? Ahmad asked.
"I don't know." Abdullah glanced at Bassem, "The sight was a bit scary, so we didn't go any further, and Allah blessed everyone else with peace!" ”
"You called the police?" Ahmad knew that the situation was somewhat unusual, but he did not understand why the gendarmes had come so quickly to cordon off the scene.
"Yes, we reported to our superiors twice. The first is to report that the pyramid may have a new underground palace; The second time is when we come out of it and make sure that someone is dead. ”
Ahmad decided to go to the dungeon before Professor Alepf arrived, and as a police officer, he had this duty. Moreover, the director has always been well-informed, and he must have known something in advance, so he canceled his leave and gave him the highest authority to make decisions on the spot.
The decision on the fly means that he can destroy the evidence and dispose of the scene at any time, but in this way, he must take risks, and he can't bring too many people in, if there is really anything strange in the dungeon, it will undoubtedly put himself in danger.
But his adventure did not succeed, as Professor Alev arrived soon after.
This is an old man who is half bald, but still has long hair. As soon as he got out of the car, he came to Ahmad and asked bluntly, "How much do you know about ancient Egyptian dynastic culture and archaeology?" ”
"Not much, sir." Ahmad said.
"Then you'd better be careful when you go down and don't break anything." Alef is like an aristocratic old man warning a country nanny who has just entered the city not to break the precious porcelain in the room, "Those officials in the city hall are simply unreasonable, let someone like you who doesn't know anything about cultural relics accompany me into the underground palace!" Any pharaoh's artifact could be a national treasure! ”
Ahmad retorted unceremoniously, "I'm a police officer, sir." This is the scene of the murder now, and I advise you to be careful in the future, so as not to destroy any evidence. The officials at the city hall are simply unreasonable, let someone like you who doesn't know anything about criminal investigation accompany me to the scene, any footprint may be left by the murderer! ”
