And judging from the whole report, there is no doubt that Cai Genfu was the murderer who killed those people. Although the reporter raised several doubts at the end, if what is said in the report is all true, I really want to save Cai Genfu. It's time for a great catastrophe. The following is a summary of the report: On December 4th, as usual, more than 1,600 day shift workers in the Vichichi Coal Mine started their work.These more than 1,600 miners will work underground at depths ranging from 100 meters to 370 meters.The deepest one needs to go 370 meters underground, that is the 144 Coal Mining Team.

The leader of the 144 Coal Mining Team was Cai Genfu, a Chinese immigrant who had lived in the country for twelve years and had been working in the Weiqiqi coal mine for nine years.At first, he was a handyman, but later he became an ordinary worker. He has always been silent and hardworking. From an ordinary worker, he became a formal miner. Two years ago, he was appointed as the team leader of a coal mining team.The fourteen workers of this coal mining team are...When Cai Genfu was on the ground, he gathered the 14 workers who went to work on time. As usual, they took the coal mine transportation and came to the entrance to the center of the earth.Along the way, many people saw them. Afterwards, everyone said that Cai Genfu's performance was exactly the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Two minutes before 9:00 a.m., all members of the 144th Group punched their cards at the entrance and took the elevator down to the pit. Another group of mining workers was on the same elevator as them. One of the workers had talked with Cai Genfu. I want to see what kind of food he brought in the lunch box.Cai Genfu showed him that it was Chinese-style fried rice. The elevator fell to 340 meters, and that group of workers left together with Group 144. The mine pit of Group 144 was at the deepest point, so they had to go down a rather steep slope. Some places on the road are so narrow that passers-by can only go one by one.Workers in another group said that he heard groups 1, 4, and 4 laughing among themselves as they entered the chute (the chute, and indications of status, are pictured).

From that moment on, Team 144 was isolated from everyone else, doing their daily work at a depth of 370 meters.In a sense, they can be said to be isolated from the world. At 9:10, in the main control room of the coal mine, a green light numbered 144 was on, indicating that the daily work of the 144 team had started normally. African name) I had a phone call with Cai Genfu, the team leader in charge. Cai Genfu said that everything is normal and we will keep in touch. Between 9:10 and 10:23, no one knew exactly what happened in the 370-meter-deep mine.In other words, only Cai Genfu and the fourteen workers knew about it.But all fourteen workers died, and Cai Genfu, as we all know, did not even say a word after the incident.

At 10:23, the main control room suddenly received a call from 144. The controller answered the call, and the call was from Cai Genfu. Cai Genfu's voice was extremely urgent, and the entire conversation recorded on the phone is as follows: Tsai: Man, for God's sake, get Engineer Doug! Controller: Engineer Doug is inspecting the No. 3 mine tunnel, what happened to you, please report it! Tsai: (voice more urgently) Engineer Doug, please come quickly, come as soon as possible, what I told him... please come quickly! Controller: What the hell happened to you? Tsai: (shouting) Engineer Doug please!

Controller: I'll notify him immediately, do I need someone to help? Cai Genfu didn't answer again, but he obviously didn't hang up the phone, because the controller heard several screams coming from the tunnel when he immediately notified the Jige engineer. The controller knew that something unusual must have happened in Tunnel 144, because even an inexperienced person could hear this kind of scream. Only one person, when his life was in extreme danger, will be issued. The controller wanted to contact Cai Genfu, but he didn't answer. He just heard Cai Genfu repeating the same sentence on the phone.And this sentence, later identified by language experts, is the language north of the Yangtze River in China.

What Cai Genfu kept yelling was: Kill you, kill you! While Cai Genfu was yelling, there was the sound of sharp jets of water and constant screams.The controller has already contacted Engineer Doug. At the same time, he also felt the seriousness of the matter, so he notified the security department. Engineer Doug was with six engineers, accompanied by two senior officials from the Bureau of Mines, in the No. 3 mine tunnel when he was notified.When he received the notice, he said something that no one knew what it meant. He said: "That Chinese man is whimsical again, talking nonsense!"

Another engineer asked, "What whimsy?" Please note that these two lines of dialogue, Engineer Doug's first sentence and another engineer's question, were spoken in the local dialect, so the rest of the workers present could understand them all. I heard them say that. However, when Engineer Doug answered another engineer's question, he used French. He only said a few words, and those who understood French—including seven engineers and two officials from the Mining Bureau—all laughed. stand up.As for what Engineer Doug said, because the rest of the workers present had low levels of knowledge and did not understand French, they never understood it.

Among them, only one worker, who was fluent in French, mentioned the word "eye" in what Engineer Doug said. After Engineer Doug finished his lecture, he left with those engineers and two officials from the Bureau of Mines, and went to the mine pit of the 144 group. At this time, the security department had also been notified and sent four people, led by the captain of the security on duty.Incidentally, the Weiqiqi Coal Mine's guards are made up of the country's elite troops. Each of them has received strict military training and is an excellent soldier, quick in action, brave and bold.But even so, they arrived three minutes later than Engineer Doug and the others, and when they arrived and saw the horror in the mine, two of the four were so frightened that they fainted from the horror on the spot.

Before the security forces arrived, the main control room could occasionally hear the sound from the mine pit through the phone that had not been hung up. They heard it first, the screams stopped, and the sound of spraying water also stopped, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.Afterwards, many people close to Cai Genfu recognized the panting sound in the tape, and they all thought it was Cai Genfu. Originally, it was unscientific to identify who made the sound based on the gasping sound, but in the gasping sound, there were also a few simple syllables of language mixed in. These simple syllables were definitely made by Cai Genfu, but the language Experts couldn't make out what he was talking about either.

Up to this point, that is to say, before Engineer Doug and his group arrived, except for Cai Genfu, no other voices could be heard.The situation that can be assumed is: except for Cai Genfu, all the rest are dead.And seven minutes later, the main control room heard another voice on the phone that was not hung up, which proved this conjecture, because at that time, Engineer Doug and the rest of the people he led arrived at the mine pit of the 144 team After that, a series of exclamations were heard in the main control room, and then engineer Doug exclaimed: "Cai, you are crazy, you... you killed all these people──" Poor Engineer Doug, before he finished speaking, he was replaced by a scream. Following Engineer Doug's scream, there was another series of screams, and an official from the Bureau of Mines shouted. : "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" But he only yelled twice, and then there was no sound. At this time, the entire main control room became tense, and emergency calls were made to the guard room. Moreover, the emergency red light was on, and the descending elevator was immediately closed, and no one was allowed to use it—except for the guards. , the mine at the bottom was closed under the emergency order, and the workers and engineers working in other tunnels connected to the mines near the 144th group were also ordered to evacuate. The personnel in the main control room still wanted to hear something from the phone that was not hung up, but no sound came out again. What happened in the mine tunnel of the 144th group, what happened, although there are many "hearers" , and the sound that came out was recorded on a tape, which can be replayed and studied countless times. However, the only witness was Cai Genfu, and the rest—including the miners of the 144 group and engineer Doug Those people are all dead. It is estimated that one minute after Engineer Doug and others were killed, the first batch of guards—the captain on duty and three guards—arrived at the scene.The two well-trained guards fainted as soon as they saw the scene.Even the captain of the guard had to take sedatives afterwards to maintain normalcy. The captain of the guard made a very wise decision at that time: immediately block the scene and prevent anyone from entering. The work of cleaning up the tragedy scene was carried out by the four of them, that is to say, besides the four of them, only Cai Genfu had seen the scene.The decision of the captain of the guard was approved by the Bureau of Mines, the Ministry of the Interior and the Superintendent of Police, because the situation on the scene was too horrible and absolutely not suitable for anyone to see. Make an extremely deep impression and affect their future life.The four of them, unfortunately, have already seen the situation at the scene, so the four of them will be responsible to the end. The decision of the captain of the guard was extremely brave and responsible. A week after the incident, the three guards were all drinking so much that they were sent to a psychiatric center for treatment.The captain himself became extremely depressed due to not being able to fall asleep for several days. When our reporter interviewed the captain, the captain looked haggard, his eyes were red, and he was receiving treatment from a doctor. Our reporter asked him to describe the situation at the scene, but was stopped by the doctors present.However, Cai Genfu is going to stand trial, and in court, the captain must appear in court to confess what he saw.But things were unexpected. When the trial of the case started, the court approved the request of the captain of the guard and the three team members not to appear in court.The court also declared that their confessions were immaterial. Cai Genfu's murder evidence is conclusive, and he will not defend himself.Therefore, the charges are undoubtedly established. The reporter of this magazine tried every means to get in touch with the captain and the three team members, but the Ministry of the Interior and the military have already sent them to a so-called "safe place" and no one is allowed to contact them again. The course of the whole tragedy is mysterious and full of doubts.Why does a person who has always been normal suddenly become a murderer?Why did Cai Genfu just ask Engineer Doug to go, and when Engineer Doug said so, so many people would follow him—in terms of duties, they didn’t need to go to the mines of Group 144 at all, of course it was because of Taoism Engineer Doug’s words aroused their curiosity, so what did Engineer Doug say? All the problems could have been solved by asking Cai Genfu, but he just didn't open his mouth, not a word. After the incident, he didn't say a word! Cai Genfu's silence made even the most astute interrogators helpless.Mr. Oganguda, an outstanding official of the Ministry of Justice, once stayed with Cai Genfu in prison for seven days, hoping to hear something related to the case from him, but failed. Ao Ganguda only heard Cai Genfu muttering the same sentence to himself in simple syllables.These words were heard by the staff in the main control room together with his heavy breathing.After repeated research, language experts could not understand the meaning of his words. This case caused a sensation all over the country. After Cai Genfu was convicted and sentenced to death, he suddenly wrote a letter and handed it to the prison officials. It was written in Chinese and translated by experts. The content of the letter was to claim that he was not guilty.The letter will be sent by the Ministry of Justice to his only family member - his uncle. Cai Genfu claimed to be innocent, which added to the mystery of the whole case. The high-level personnel may know some secrets, such as what happened at the scene, but they will definitely not make it public. Ordinary people may never understand the truth.Moreover, the Ministry of the Interior has advised all newspapers not to exaggerate the matter. This report in this magazine is against the instructions of the Ministry of the Interior. We hope that it can meet not only foreign readers, but also domestic readers. Everyone has the right to know the truth! After I finished translating this report, I have read this report seventeen times.I noticed that the writer of this report used words very carefully, trying to be as objective as possible, with almost no subjective opinions, no subjective imagination, and descriptions like creating novels. This is an excellent report, and those who read it have no reason not to believe what he says.I also noticed that the writer of the report was Pilar—a French journalist.This Mr. Pilar is a very interesting person. After I got in touch with him a lot, I realized that he is knowledgeable, objective, and a typical gentleman. After I finished reading this report, I had more questions in my mind. The main question was the same as the one raised in the last paragraph of the report: why, when everything is normal, a person who lives a normal life and works hard, Will it suddenly become violent and kill so many people?And why, after his arrest, didn't say a word? I am more skeptical than Bilal who wrote this report, because I know the character of people like Genfu very well.In Pilar's view, Genfu is a Chinese, a mysterious oriental, with a somewhat unfathomable meaning.But for me, I know that people like Genfu are the most law-abiding, the most cautious, and the least daring to cause trouble. Such a person suddenly became a mass murderer. If you say that there is no special reason for this, it's just that "the ferocity has exploded", then I would not believe it! However, what happened in the 370-meter-deep mine?Is the subterranean air maddening?If this is the reason, why don't other people go crazy, but Cai Genfu alone?This assumption, of course, does not hold. I have an impression, from that report, that something unusual must have happened in the mine, and it happened more than once.Because when Engineer Doug heard that Cai Genfu was looking for him, he once said: "This Chinese is whimsical again." Gen Fu once mentioned something he didn't understand to Engineer Doug, and Engineer Doug thought it was "whimsical". Before the murder happened, Gen Fu was so urgent and wanted to find Engineer Doug. It must be that this incident that he didn't understand and was considered "whimsical" by Engineer Doug happened again! So, what is this matter?If it hadn't been for the fact that the rest of the workers couldn't understand French, it would have been known already, because Engineer Doug had told the rest of the engineers and the Bureau of Mines officials, and everyone's reactions were overwhelming. It's joking, only a person with a little knowledge of French understood the word "eye" in this remark! I think, since the matter is so suspicious, and Cai Genfu is sentenced to death, he is unwilling to speak to anyone, is he willing to tell the truth to a childhood playmate? I must go to that country!If I don't go, I'll just sit at home and think about it, and I won't be able to figure out why. When I decided to leave, I felt much calmer. I tried to contact Mr. Oganguda on the phone, but I couldn't find him. If there is a case, come quickly. By the time I went through the formalities and got on the plane, another two days had passed.During these two days, I heard Lao Cai say countless times: "There are still nineteen days left", "There are only eighteen days left".I had no choice but to comfort him by saying that no matter how bad the situation was, as soon as I arrived, I would find the best lawyer and apply for a postponement of the sentence, and there would be no problem. Lao Cai made an exception to see me on the plane, and I promised to call back as soon as I arrived.Only then did Lao Cai turn red eyes and let go of my hand.I couldn't help feeling bitter in my heart, I'm going, the hope of being able to rescue Cai Genfu is very small, if I fail, I really can't imagine how sad Lao Cai will be.And Lao Cai has been with me for so many years, he watched me grow up, I really don't want him to have a serious blow in his later years. To go to that country, I need to transfer planes. I transferred planes in Johannesburg, South Africa. During the stay at the airport, I sent another telegram to Oganguda, telling him the exact date of my arrival. I'm not a first-time traveler, and I don't necessarily need someone to pick me up.The problem lies in this matter, the sooner we have clues, the better, so I hope to meet Aoganguda as soon as I arrive.When I got on the plane again, after several hours of flying, when the plane circled over the destination, I found that the city below was not as backward as I imagined. Looking down from the sky, there are tall modern buildings and wide roads.And when the plane landed, the runway was wide and straight, and the airport equipment was good. As soon as I got off the plane, an airport staff member came to me: "Mr. Wesley? Please follow me. Mr. Oganguda is waiting for you in the VIP room!" That Mr. Okanguda should be so responsible was quite unexpected to me, and it cheered me up, because at least at first things went well. I followed the airport worker to the VIP room, and saw a man in extremely neat clothes, half a head taller than me, looking energetic and ready to accept any challenge, about thirty, with curly hair, and a skin as dark as charcoal African man.As soon as the African man saw me, he hurried over, took my hand with both hands, and shook it. The strength of his handshake is so strong, although he expressed his enthusiasm for welcome, but if it weren't for me, I really doubt whether I would be able to bear it if I changed the second one!While shaking my hand, he said, "Great! Mr. Wesley, I am...Oganguda!" He said his name fluently.But I only remember the words Aoganguda. I also shook his hand again and again: "I didn't expect you to be so young and have such a good demeanor!" Auganguda chuckled, "Did you think you'd meet a native with a gold ring on his nose, an animal skin skirt, and an animal bone spear?" He spoke very bluntly, and I smiled along with him: "It's hard to say, maybe you are the type of person who uses a knife and cannibalizes human flesh!" Oganguda didn’t have the inferiority complex that black people often have. Hearing me say this, he took a step back and stared at me: “I haven’t eaten Chinese before, I doubt which part of your meat is the most tender!” We laughed together, and within three minutes of seeing each other, we became as familiar as old friends.He took me out of the airport and into a car.His rank was probably quite high, and his driver wore a sharp uniform. Arriving in front of the car, Aoganguda said: "I want you to meet a person first. He has spent several months researching the whole matter and is continuing to study it. I received your call Afterwards, I have obtained your information from the international police. This friend was very happy when he heard that you were coming, and he thought that if you came, there would be a breakthrough in the doubts about the whole matter!" I was patient, and waited for him to finish before saying, "I'm not interested in seeing anyone except Cai Genfu!" Aoganguda showed a look of embarrassment.He was trying to look as if nothing had happened, but I could see he was trying to hide something from me.So I went further and said: "The purpose of my coming is to see Cai Genfu, I must see him first!" Obviously unwilling to answer my question directly, Aoganguda opened the car door: "Please get in the car!" I didn't get in the car, but just pressed his hand and looked at him directly: "Wait a minute, what tricks are you playing? Is it the law of your country that prevents people from approaching convicted prisoners? If so, Why did you allow me to come again? If you prevent me from meeting with Cai Guangfu, I will immediately complain to the UN Human Rights Committee!" Ao Ganguda was a little bit ironic, and said repeatedly: "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!" He lowered his voice, showing a very bitter expression: "Cai Genfu is gone!" As soon as I heard what he said, I really jumped up and shouted: "What? Cai Genfu is gone?" My shout attracted several people to look at me. In the meantime, I was a little flustered, trying to hold my mouth, and trying to pull me into the car. I flipped my hands over and grabbed both of his hands.Aoganguda showed a pleading look: "Please don't be so loud, okay? We still keep this matter a top secret. If it is publicized, reporters from all over the country will flock to my office !" I took a breath: "What do you mean Cai Genfu is missing? Can he still escape from the heavily guarded prison?" Okanguda clasped his hands together, with a pleading look on his face: "Let's talk in the car, okay?" My heart is full of doubts. Originally, I believed him very much. Now, I don't think he is lying to me, but I always think that something is very sudden: Cai Genfu is gone! But in the current situation, even if I refuse to get in the car.There wasn't much to ask outside the airport, so when he said that, I just reluctantly got into the car.Aoganguda heaved a sigh of relief, got into the car and sat beside me. As soon as he got into the car, he gave the driver a word in the local dialect.Before I came here, I did some temporary research on the native language of this country. Of course I can't master it, but I can still understand simple words and sentences.I heard him tell the driver: "Go to my house!" I immediately glanced at him: "Why did you go to your house? I thought I was going to your office!" When Oganguda heard me ask him this, his eyes widened. It was obvious that I understood what he told the driver, which surprised him.He looked at me for a long time, and then said: "The introduction to you by the international police is probably not as good as one-tenth of your real ability!" I smiled and said, "Don't give me a high hat! Why did you go to your house?" Ao Ganguda said: "Cai Genfu's case has ended on the surface, and the court has convicted him. However, several people, including me, think that the whole process of the matter is inconceivable, and it is necessary to continue to study it. After With the personal approval of the president, a team was established. Anyway, I am a bachelor and have a spacious residence, so this team will work in my home."
