Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Participate in investigations to explore doubts

These words of Aogan Guda can't help but make me stand in awe! I have always believed that most emerging countries in Africa are very backward politically.Of course, some of them are very backward, but there are also quite advanced ones. In a country like Aoganguda, the president can approve Aoganguda's request and conduct further research on suspicious matters! I said in a very sincere voice: "To my surprise, the members of the group are—" Oganguda said: "I don't want too many people. There are only two people in total. One is me, and the other is the reporter I want you to meet—Mr. Bilal!"

I said "ah", "It's him!" Bilal was the reporter who wrote the story, and he was one of the people I wanted to meet.Okanguda asked me to see him, and of course I had no objection.Ao Ganguda said again: "I hope that from now on, the members of this group will become three!" I immediately said: "Of course, there is no doubt about it, that's why I came here, but first, I need to know how Cai Genfu 'disappeared'!" Ao Ganguda smiled wryly: "The day before yesterday, Cai Genfu was in prison and attempted to commit suicide by piercing his own throat with a broken rice spoon──"

I was taken aback, if Cai Genfu committed suicide, things would be troublesome!I can't take him back, I really don't know how to meet Lao Cai!Therefore, I was so nervous that I couldn't help it, and I owed my body. Ao Ganguda continued: "The guards found him, but he was injured. The guards took him to the medical room for treatment. The guards in the medical room were loose. Cai Genfu jumped out of the window and escaped if the guards were not careful!" Involuntarily, I punched the back of the front seat of the car and hit it hard: "You guys are too careless! Is there no one chasing him?"

Okanguda said: "Of course there is, but we didn't catch up. We have secretly ordered all the police to pay attention to his whereabouts, and we have also monitored all Chinese families and places where Chinese people often appear-" I waved my hand and interrupted his words: "In prison, he has already attempted to commit suicide. Don't you consider that his purpose of escaping is also to seek death?" Okanguda sighed, he didn't answer my question directly, but said: "Outside of prison, it's too easy to commit suicide!" As soon as I heard him say this, I couldn't help feeling cold for a while, and was speechless for a while.Originally, if I could meet Cai Genfu, things might become quite simple, but now...

My mind was so confused that I couldn't think any more.Aoganguda comforted me: "Don't be pessimistic, we haven't found his body yet!" I smiled wryly and said, "If he died in some wild mountains, his body would never be found!" As soon as I finished speaking, the phone in the car rang. Oganguda picked up the phone, and after listening to a few words, his expression became nervous and excited: "Quickly mobilize people, surround that area, and report to me at any time." !" He put down the phone: "A supermarket found that a batch of food had been stolen. The staff said that the person who stole the food was a Chinese, possibly Cai Genfu!"

My eyes widened: "Cai Genfu stole a batch of food? What is he going to do? Go hiking?" Ao Ganguda shook his head: "In short, we are doing everything possible to find him, and we will not let go of any possibility!" I said, "Of course, after all your efforts, you may succeed in finding his body!" Aoganguda felt quite distressed by my sarcasm, and he didn't say anything more. At this time, the car had already driven into a quite quiet and noble residential area, and the roadsides were full of novel style garden houses. It makes people feel that they are in Africa, but they think of Beverly Hills in the United States!

The car stopped in front of a large garden house, and the iron door opened automatically. This kind of luxurious equipment made me couldn't help but sarcastically said to Oganguda: "I can't imagine that the living standards of the people in your country are so high!" Okanguda glared at me: "I am not an ordinary citizen, I am a high-ranking official of the country! I am the same as people who live in a mud house today. Everyone lived the same life when I was a child, but I am willing to learn from others. , today's position is what I deserve!" I didn't argue with him much on the subject, Ogangoda was clearly outstanding, unlike most blacks, there's no doubt about that!

The car stopped in front of the building, we got out and went into the living room.As soon as I entered the living room, I was shocked.In my imagination, the appearance of this building is so gorgeous, and its owner's clothing is so neat, the interior layout must be extremely elegant! But I just stepped through the glass door, I really don't know how to describe it.All I saw was a mess!I couldn't think of any other word to describe this large living room, at least a thousand square feet in size, other than "messy." On top of all the furnishings in the living room, all kinds of sundries are piled up.The most of them are books and papers, and there are many inexplicable things, such as various tools, a rather large coal mine tunnel model, in the center, leaning on a piano and a rather huge machine that I can't name , with a fairly long pipe shaped like a hose for rescuers.

Because of these many tools, the original ivory-colored plush carpet is covered with oil stains here and there.When I came in, I saw a person lying on the ground with earphones on his ears, listening to a tape with full concentration.The appearance of this person fits perfectly with the messy living room.He was barefooted, in a pair of shorts, bare to the waist, with shawl hair and a horsefly beard. I can only describe him as a Caucasian man. If so, it is absolutely unrecognizable. As soon as the man saw us, he jumped up. When he jumped up, he forgot to take off the earphones first, so that the tape recorder was pulled over and he didn't turn it over. , just yelled at me: "Are you Wesley?"

I said: "Yes, I am Wesley, who is Mr. Orangutan who knows my name?" The man laughed, smoothed his hair casually, and stretched out his hand: "Bilal!" I had expected that he was Pilar, and I also knew that generally speaking, the life of a reporter is relatively casual, but I never thought that Pilar would be so casual! He and I shook hands vigorously, while Aoganguda said: "Everything here is the necessary tools and materials for our group work!" I looked directly at Pilar: "I've read your report, it's very exciting. Since that report, have you discovered anything new?"

Bilal shook his head, and I said, "You have such a good relationship with senior officials, and the working group was personally approved by the president. You should at least meet the captain of the guard who has been to the scene and know what's going on!" As soon as I arrived, Pilar welcomed me wholeheartedly. The atmosphere was originally very warm, but as soon as I uttered these words, the two of them suddenly fell silent.I waited for a while, but they still didn't speak, so I sneered and said, "Why, I thought I was already a member of the group?" Pilar gestured to me: "Come here!" Pilar walked towards the piano, I noticed it when I came, but I didn't know what kind of mechanical device it was, and I followed him.Pilar was not afraid of the oil and coal dust on the machine, so he put his hand on it and said, "According to your imagination, what would a scene where more than twenty people died look like?" I spread my hands and said, "I can't imagine at all, and I don't think that a person can kill more than twenty people stronger than him in an instant, unless he has a killing weapon in his hand!" Pilar stayed there for a while, and at this moment, Oganguda also came over, and Pilar pointed to the machine: "This is the murder weapon, the murder weapon that Cai Genfu used to kill people!" What Pilar said was extremely unexpected to me, and I lost my voice: "Is this the murder weapon? What kind of machine is this?" Pilar said: "This is a hydraulic shearer used in coal mines." Pilar only said the name of this machine, and I couldn't help but screamed "Ah", at the same time, I already had a vague idea of ​​the scene of the tragedy in my mind.I said nothing more, and Pilar continued. Pilar said: "This hydraulic coal mining machine is a newest coal mining device──" He said here, and picked up the steel pipe. The diameter of the pipe is about two inches. Continued: "The speed of the water column ejected from this throat is 90 kilometers per hour, and its momentum is 800 kilograms per square centimeter. All of this is caused by the high-pressure operation capability of the hydraulic shearer. !" As Pilar said, I nodded like a fool, and at the same time, I couldn't help shaking a little, and my skin also had bumps. Pilar continued: "The momentum of 800 kilograms per square centimeter is enough to cut the coal seam and mine the coal accumulated due to heavy pressure hundreds of millions of years ago, or, to be more specific, such The strength is enough to pierce through a three-inch thick board, or—” I suddenly felt like vomiting, and quickly made a gesture to prevent Pilar from continuing: "Stop talking, I understand!" Pilar also swallowed involuntarily, looked at me sympathetically, and said: "It's no wonder you, every time, I think of the water jet shot by Cai Genfu with this hydraulic coal mining machine, before it hits the body of a living person." time-" When he said this, he stopped, and the three of us looked at each other involuntarily. I even saw a strange whiteness appear on Aoganguda's shiny black face. That's because the three of us all thought of the consequences of impacting human flesh and blood with a force of 800 kilograms per square centimeter! After a long silence, I said, "Those dead—" Aoganguda hurriedly interjected, "They were buried together!" Pilar added: "Because they can't tell who's who!" I couldn't help shivering again, "They can't tell who is who." This should be the most elegant way of saying it!What is the actual situation? Although I didn’t see it, I can figure it out. Cai Genfu suddenly turned the direction of the hydraulic shearer’s firing, not shooting at the coal seam, but shooting at people!The water shot out can easily penetrate a person's body, blast a person's head in all directions, cut off a person's limbs with ease, or shatter any part of a person's bones! Cai Genfu used such a weapon, no wonder the fourteen strong black coal miners had no room to resist, and the shouts heard in the main control room were so shrill! Involuntarily, I took a few steps back. Although I have never witnessed the bloody scene in the mine, just thinking about it is enough to make my legs feel weak.I absolutely sympathize with the captain of the guard and the three guards. They actually had the courage to clean up the scene. They really deserve to be strictly trained fighters! When I sat down, Pilar also left the shearer and covered it with a cloth. He looked at me: "Cai Genfu used a hydraulic coal mining machine as a murder weapon. I didn't mention this in that report, because...it's too appalling! Moreover, it has never been announced, because the same hydraulic power Coal miners, there are hundreds of them in the Weiqiqi coal mine, if it is released, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no users who are emotionally impulsive—" Bilal made a gesture, I understood what he meant, journalists know that exciting news is contagious, and if this situation spreads among the public, then it is likely that the Vichy Coal Mine will become Vicchi Butchery!I nodded to show that I understood what he meant, and Aoganguda said: "Bilal and I have talked with the four people who witnessed it at the scene." Pilar said: "Two of them were deeply irritated, and they don't want to bring up this matter anyway. The captain of the guard and the other roughly described the situation at that time. In fact, they don't need to say anything. After finding out that Cai Genfu used a hydraulic shearer to kill people, anyone who knows the performance of this hydraulic shearer can imagine the terrifying scene!" I felt another chill and nodded in agreement. Pilar said: "Afterwards, Cai Genfu didn't say a word, no, it should be said, he just repeated, and even kept saying a word, that sentence has four syllables, we asked a lot of language scientists, including Chinese linguists, to identify the meaning of this sentence, but they have no way of knowing what these four syllables represent!" I hurriedly said: "Chinese dialects are very complicated. I happen to be from the same place as Cai Genfu. Those four syllables are" Pilar said: "Listen, this sentence is: LA QNA MA MA!" I froze for a while, and repeated the four syllables Pilar told me, and repeated them in my heart several times, but I couldn't tell what they meant. I didn't speak, but it must be my inexplicable expression, telling them that I don't understand the meaning of this sentence.So Pilar immediately showed a very disappointed expression. Ao Ganguda said: "I think we have to take it step by step. There are many things that Mr. Wei only learned from the reports, but he didn't experience it personally—" Pilar shook his hand: "Yes, how are you going to start?" My mind is also very confused, where should I start?To find out the truth of the whole matter, the most straightforward way is naturally to talk to Cai Genfu, but Cai Genfu has nowhere to go! If it cannot be done by the most direct method, then only the indirect method can be used.I should check out Chae Geun Fu's place. You should also go to the mine where the tragedy happened to see what happened, and you should listen to the tapes that were recorded when the incident happened. I decided to listen to the tape first, and I said what I meant, and both Bilal and Okanguda agreed.Bilal's work is very organized. Regardless of how chaotic his workplace is, all the tapes are numbered and arranged in chronological order. I put the tape recorder on the table, put on the earphones, and listened carefully.The voice of Cai Genfu in the tape was quite blunt French, from the time he called the main control room and asked Engineer Doug to go immediately to start, all the way to the screams of the fourteen workers.Then there was the moment before Engineer Doug arrived—at that time, there was only a gasp and those four simple syllables, which Cai Genfu undoubtedly dialed. Just now, when Pilar spelled out these four syllables to me in pinyin, I had no idea what he was talking about.But at this time, once Cai Genfu spoke, the situation was completely different!As soon as I heard it, I could hear what Cai Genfu was talking about! I also immediately took off the earphones and looked at Aoganguda and Pilar. They also knew that I must have discovered something, so they bent over together.I took a breath: "That sentence, the four-syllable sentence that Cai Genfu kept repeating---" Pilar couldn't wait to say: "Yes, what does that mean?" I couldn't help but smiled wryly. No wonder even linguists don't know what this sentence means. At this time, I don't know how to convey the meaning of this sentence to an African or a Frenchman. In fact, if he is not a native of the northern part of Jiangsu Province, it is not easy to explain the meaning of these four words to him. As soon as I heard Cai Genfu repeating that sentence, I could tell that he was using his hometown dialect, saying an interjection that basically had no special meaning. In the northern part of Jiangsu Province, China, even a three-year-old child Will also blurt out: "Spicy Mom!" The word "spicy block" in "spicy block mother" means "where" in the language of northern Jiangsu, but when combined with "mother", the meaning is unclear. It is probably a curse word , and all the cursing words in China like to have something to do with other people's mothers, so there is such a sentence.But this sentence has evolved into a kind of interjection and exclamation, which can be applied in many places. For example, it can be used when you are amazed by seeing something you have never seen before.For another example, you can use it when you feel relaxed after finishing a heavy job.For another example, it can also be used when dealing with troublesome things.This situation is a bit like "good guy" and "fucking" in northern Chinese dialect. In fact, it has no special meaning. Look, I have already spent a lot of space explaining this sentence here. You can imagine that at that time, I told an African or a Frenchman that they knew nothing about the Chinese language, and I wanted to make them understand, then How difficult it is!It took me half an hour, hot mom, finally the two of them have a strong comprehension, I understand! Although they understood, their expressions were still quite puzzled. Pilar said, "Are you sure that this sentence has no other meaning?" I'm a little annoyed: "Of course I'm sure, I grew up using this language!" Pilar said: "Then, what does Cai Genfu mean when he keeps repeating this interjection?" I had already thought about this question in my mind, so when Pilar asked, I immediately said: "There are several possibilities. First, he was happy and relaxed because he had accomplished something." Ao Ganguda smiled wryly: "He killed many people at that time, if this is the case, then he must be the most cold-blooded murderer in history!" I said: "I just analyze it according to the idiomatic usage of this sentence!" Ao Ganguda said: "What about the second one?" I said: "Secondly, he was probably in a state of extreme shock or excitement at that time, so that he couldn't say anything else. Naturally, he kept repeating the language he used since he was a child. One of the most frequently used words!" They both nodded, and I said again: "Third, he may have had a kind of extreme hatred at that time, and when his hatred was vented, he couldn't help saying this sentence." Pilar said, "I don't understand your third point." I thought for a while: "I can give you an example to make you understand. In my childhood, the discipline at home was very strict. My grandfather was a gentleman with strict self-discipline. He never allowed his children to say any impolite words. The phrase "spicy mother" is not suitable for people in the upper class, so people in our family are not allowed to say this sentence. But once, when locusts caused a disaster, my grandfather took me to watch the fields being set on fire. The crops that were about to be harvested were burned together with the locusts all over the sky. When the fire was raging and thousands of locusts were burned, and there were bursts of burning smell, my grandfather beside me blurted out, Said this sentence several times!" Pilar and Oganguda looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said in unison: "We understand!" I spread my hands: "But here comes the question again, why does Cai Genfu hold grudges against those people?" Pilar smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know!" I also smiled bitterly, and continued to listen to the tape. Everything in the tape was described in detail in Pilar's report, so I don't need to repeat it again. . Listening to tapes was my first job after joining this group.It took about three hours.The only catch is that I explained the sentence that the linguists didn't understand.But it didn't help the whole thing at all, and the doubts still couldn't get any explanation.Aoganguda said: "You should take a rest, your room is on the second floor, I have already prepared it for you!" I shook my head and said, "I don't need to rest, I want to visit Cai Genfu's residence immediately!" Pilar said: "That's too easy, Cai Genfu's residence is on the second floor, between my room and yours!" I was stunned for a while, no matter how flexible my brain was, I couldn't understand what Pilar meant for a while.Pilar seemed to appreciate my astonishment, laughed, and said: "I know Cai Genfu's residence is very important, and we must study everything in his residence. He used to live in the staff dormitory of the coal mine. I have put his The entire residence has been moved here so that research can be carried out at any time!" I stared at Pilar: "You are a big fool, don't you know that if you do this, you will lose a potentially extremely important clue?" Pilar blushed immediately, looking at his situation, it seemed that he was about to have a long debate with me.But Okanguda spoke first: "I think you should apologize to Mr. Bilal, because before the relocation, more than 200 photos were taken, everything in the room, even the dust, everything that can be moved, They’ve all been moved here, and they’ve been placed exactly as they were before, and everything can be said to have remained unchanged.” I shook my head and said, "I reserve my apology. During the moving process, something must be lost, and the lost thing may be what we need! Why do we have to move?" Bilal was still blushing: "If Cai Genfu's things are not removed, the more than 1,000 employees of the Weiqiqi Coal Mine will refuse to live in the dormitory. This is the main reason!" I don't want to continue arguing on this issue, and I am moving.I just said: "Okay, let's go up and have a look!" Pilar didn't say anything anymore, and walked to the second floor with three steps in parallel, and I followed behind him.On the second floor, there is a corridor with doors on both sides of the corridor. Pilar stopped in front of one of the doors, pushed it open and gestured for me to enter.I just took a step into the door, and I couldn't help being stunned.The room was originally large, but it had been repartitioned into a room about twelve square meters in size, with a simple bathroom and a small kitchen attached.
