Chapter 325: Faith
Yu Ming listened: "There are ghosts, right?" β
Ibn nodded: "We think the same way, if there is no insider's cooperation, the mummy of the Latin American Emperor may also be stolen, but it will not be able to complete the package drop." β
Yu Ming asked, "Where is the origin of this nameless mummy?" β
Ibn replied: "According to the investigation, it is suspected to be the nameless mummy of the Pyramid of the Stars." Ibn said that the Pyramid of the Stars was located in the middle of the desert and was excavated by a national expedition. Ten days ago, a total of four mummies were taken to the Alexandria Museum, but the vehicle that transported one of the mummies overturned and burned and exploded on the way, killing all two transporters, and the local police confirmed that it was an accident.
Here I want to talk about Egypt's attitude towards mummies, there are more ordinary mummies in Egypt, and I don't care too much, as long as they don't flow out of the country, there are only some regrets if they are damaged. After all, there are still a few mummies, which do not affect the progress of scientific research. However, after the Latin American Emperor was dropped, the Egyptian national security department reopened the investigation and found that the accident vehicle had a major scorchant explosive, which is not very powerful, but can cause burning. Security services speculated that someone killed two transporters, then took away the mummies and flipped the car on its side, before using a small scorchant explosion to destroy the scene.
Yu Ming pondered, if Ibn had not lied, this gang that stole the mummies of the Latin American Emperor was a criminal gang with the ability to commit crimes with the nature of armed attack. Yu Ming did not answer, took out his mobile phone, and searched for cases related to the use of burning agent explosives in recent years. Two cases were soon identified, one in Iraq, where a vehicle carrying artworks from an Iraqi museum exploded and the real thing was burned. Reference was also made to the suspected explosives in the form of a burning agent. In another case, in Afghanistan, a team of NATO soldiers escorted an important terrorist to the transfer, and the driver drove the car under a cliff. Then it exploded and burned. The soldiers rushed to the bottom of the cliff and could not extinguish the fire, but left it to burn. Subsequent investigation revealed suspicion of a burning agent of explosives.
It's just a suspicion, because the burning agent type explosives contain aluminum, magnesium, oxides and other materials in our lives after the combustion explosion, ordinary explosions, generally leave some evidence, but chemical catalytic combustion, can burn almost everything. The focus of scorching agent type explosives is burning, and the focus of ordinary explosives is on explosion. Destroy the corpse. Burn clean.
Yu Ming stepped aside to make a phone call, told him what he had learned, and said, "Chairman Meng, I suspect that we can't handle this kind of case." β
Montero agreed: "There seem to be traces of terrorists, terrorists only destroy but do not produce." They use firearms, form training bases. Buying people to bullets. Granting a pension to a person requires a lot of money, mainly from the sponsorship of wealthy businessmen who support them, and from self-financing. The second point is not typical, because terrorists lack the ability to raise funds, they are better at sabotage. But in recent years, terrorists have begun to kidnap as non-terrorists. Extort ransom. I agree with you that this group is likely to be a criminal group capable of modern criminal activities to raise funds for terrorists. I am sure that the Government of Egypt is aware of this, but since Egypt is an Arab country, there are many people who support and sympathize with the terrorists. Therefore, I don't want the contradictions to intensify, and I just want to deal with them as ordinary criminal cases. β
Terrorists can't use terrorists to extort money, that would make them lose their political fig leaf. But money is necessary for people to eat. As a result, such specialized terrorist fund-raising organizations have emerged.
Yu Ming asked: "Are you sure you want to take it?" β
"There is no choice." Montero said: "You can explain the danger of this matter to the candidate, and it is mainly voluntary. I'll be in Egypt tomorrow, and we'll talk about it then." β
β¦β¦
Montero was dusty, but he always wore and wore a good hairstyle, and he was joined by Bella, Yu Ming, Lyx, and the four candidates.
Montero first introduced the basic situation, and then said: "The investigator organization is quite satisfied with the four of you, I have already explained the danger of this commission, if you are willing to participate in this commission, it will be led by official members." Those who are unwilling to participate in this commission will have an additional question after the event to decide whether to be admitted by the investigator organization. You need to give me the answer now. As a reminder, the risk of this investigation is very high. β
Wearing glasses, a shirt and a vest, Lake, who looked Sven, said, "I'm willing to participate." β
Alexander nodded: "I used to be a soldier and know the danger of terrorists to civilians, and I am willing to participate." β
Kate hesitated for a long time: "I'll participate." β
Phuket also thought about it for a long time, he was reluctant to take risks, but he knew that if he participated, even if his performance was average, he would be qualified. And if you participate in the extra round again, you may be crowned cowardly by the examiner. After weighing it, Phuket nodded: "Haode, I'll participate." β
Montero said: "Now team up, Kate, you and I ...... team"
Yu Ming looked at Montero, it seems that this embroidered pillow has internal strength, no one knows how high Montero's combat effectiveness is, because Montero has never had a record of martial arts. But as Montero pulls the woman with the worst combat ability to his side, it can be inferred that Montero is very confident in his combat effectiveness.
Montero said: "Bella and Phuket are in a group, Lix and Alexander are in a group, Yu Ming and Lake are in a group. Do you have any comments? β
No one had an opinion, Montero said: "The internal investigation team, Yu Ming's group went to the Alexander Museum, and it is quite likely that the Latin American Emperor was dropped in Alexandria." We have been authorized by the Egyptian security services, and all the logistics are in place. Bella's team investigates black market networks in Egypt and around the world, using our network to investigate whether anyone is interested in buying mummies in the near future. The Lix team, which is responsible for staying in Cairo to cooperate with the security services, is ready to give us information and the information obtained from our investigation. Kate and I went to the Middle East to investigate suspicious leads. Do you have any comments on the work arrangement? β
No one had an opinion, so it was decided.
On the same day, Yu Ming and Lake set off for Alexandria, and Lake said so little that it was hard to imagine that he had ever been a lawyer. Yu Ming asked, he answered, Yu Ming didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to ask. does not express opinions, everything is headed by Yu Ming's opinions.
After arriving in Alexandria, the security department came to pick up the airport, and they sent the security department documents and self-defense guns, although Yu Ming didn't like firearms, but this time it was likely that the people he was dealing with were terrorists, so he still took the pistol and two magazines, and Lake took the documents and pistols without saying a word.
Staying at the Alexandria Hotel at night, Yu Ming read the information sent by Lix, the museum in Alexandria has a total of 63 employees, and the ancient Egyptian cultural area has a total of 24 employees, and temporary workers are also hired, but from the month before the case to the present, not a single regular employee or temporary worker has submitted his resignation. The security department has investigated the families and finances of the people in the museum one by one, and found no suspicious people.
Yu Ming called: "Lux, the faith of these twenty-four employees and ten temporary workers and their spouses. β
βhaodeγβ Lix asked, "Weishenme check this?" β
"Terrorists are extremely fanatical religious people who do not marry infidels."
Lix replied after a moment's hesitation, "Of the thirty-four, three of them are married to heretics. No, these three men are infidels themselves. "The three major ethnic groups of Egypt, Arabs, Berbers, and Copts. The first two are Islamic, while the Copts are predominantly Christian. In the early years, it was common for Copts and Islams to intermarry, but in modern times, the three ethnic groups mostly intermarried internally. It is easy for VIPs to identify Copts, many of whom have tattoos of crosses on their wrists. Although they were the smallest in number and had bloody clashes with the other two communities over religion, they always showed pride, self-esteem and self-defence. The level of education and urbanization of the Copts is the highest in Egypt, and the famous United Nations Secretary-General Ghali is a Copt. However, in Egypt, because they are an absolute minority, they have very little cultural and political space, and their churches are often attacked by other ethnic groups.
The three pagans that Lix is talking about are the Copts. If they are really terrorists, then these are three people you can trust. Yu Ming asked casually, "Lake, what is your faith?" β
Lake was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied, "Universe." β
"Huh?" Yu Ming didn't understand.
"I myself do not deny the existence of gods, but I am opposed to the existence of gods worshiped by the people." Lake put down the book and looked at Yu Ming and replied, "The current religion has traces of the ruler's will. I appreciate the Chinese saying that God is not merciful or unkind, and He treats stones, humans, animals, etc. equally. β
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs." Yu Ming nodded: "Lao Tzu wrote it." Yu Ming explained a little.
Lake nodded, "That's what I think exists as a god." God is fair and will not love you for your praise and trust, and will not punish you for your abuse and discrimination. He treats everything equally, and unequal is because everything is unequal to each other. β
Philosophy, philosophy is a thing that Yu Ming has a deep feeling, that is, it seems to be a big truth, but in fact it is self-righteous. Just like educating children, some experts say that you can't beat and scold, some experts say that you can be properly beaten and scolded, and there is a legend of wolf dad and so on. Science has a basis, and there are no rules for life. Philosophy is something that is based on an unprincipled standpoint, but it also represents a person's three views.
Lake appears to be aloof, uncaring, and uncaring. He and Yu Minglai are just doing one thing, and this matter has nothing to do with their feelings. Yu Ming knew in his heart that this guy had a bit of a lone ranger's taste. I don't know how many points I can get for cooperating with my partner. (To be continued......)
