Chapter 7 One machine in hand, let me go in the world (Part 1)
The pickup truck drove out of the "international airport" protected by barbed wire and machine gun bunkers, and soon drove into the city. The entire city of Mogadishu feels like a huge slum with dilapidated roads and people standing outside the house with dull eyes. Although people are still standing there, their thoughts don't know where they have already flown.
But unlike the real slums, there are traces of bullets everywhere on buildings made of stones; "civilians" holding automatic rifles can be seen wandering on the streets everywhere. They do not have uniform uniforms, but they know that they use tape to stick two magazines together, so that when they exchange fire with the "enemy", once the magazine is empty, they can replace them with a new one at the fastest speed.
There is no doubt that these civilians holding weapons are the "soldiers" under the Somalian government; it is said that those guys wearing unified uniforms and more well-armed weapons are the armed forces. The biggest reason for this phenomenon is that the armed forces are supported by Al Qaeda materials, and Islamic militants from all over the world are also waving flags and shouting for them, and they have money and have strength to contribute; while government forces, including the United Nations and the World Humanitarian Organization, have little support, so their soldiers are dressed like a group of guerrillas.
The reason for such inaction by the United Nations and the World Humanitarian Organization is also very direct... I am afraid that the supplies to support the Somalia Political Council and refugees will fall into the hands of terrorists.
The pickup truck passed through the layers of sentry guards and drove to a heavily guarded building with heavy machine guns and barbed wire. When Shi Shaoying walked out of the pickup truck, the reflection of sunlight flashed by at three o'clock on the right. Shi Shaoying couldn't help but beat him hard. The sniper was actually hiding a sniper on a building less than two hundred meters away from them!
To cultivate an excellent sniper, it requires the material support of two infantry squads in terms of cost alone. In Somalia, a country where civil wars lasted for more than ten years, it has been defeated to be poor and was left alone. The importance of the government troops can only wear casual clothes and units qualified to place snipers can be imagined.
Ximal also jumped off the pickup. He moved two steps with a seemingly unintentional attitude. After walking to Shi Shaoying, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "We are in trouble. This is the headquarters of the Somalia National Security Administration!"
When the two men were quarreled, a soldier walked up quickly and pushed Shimal hard on his shoulder. Then he raised the automatic rifle in his hand and made a gesture of "If you dare to do this again, I will shoot."
The walls inside the building were painted military green, and there was an electric light above the head every about fifteen meters. However, none of these lights were turned on. In order to prevent armed attacks, most of the windows in the corridor were sealed. It is now ten days, and the light in the entire corridor is still very dark. Even if Shi Shaoying tried hard to open his eyes, it was still difficult to see clearly what was opposite the corridor.
Perhaps it was because of the lack of manpower and the staff in the entire building were pitifully small. Perhaps the Somali government staff liked the ** space, and almost all office doors were closed tightly. Several people's shoes stepped on the concrete floor, making a dull "puff" sound, and a scathing echo in the corridor actually formed a faint echo.
Walking to a room on the first floor, the soldier who was following Himal immediately patted Himal hard and signaled him to enter the room. Shi Shaoying turned around and looked at Himal. Both of them nodded to each other. Although they looked at each other two or three hours ago, they didn't like each other, but now sitting on the same boat, they had to face the unpredictable future. The two of them naturally hugged each other psychologically.
Shi Shaoying was taken to a room on the second floor. A lieutenant walked in and gestured to order him to hand over his wallet, cell phone, keys and ID documents immediately. When Shi Shaoying was ordered to take off his shoes, then raised his hands and let a soldier cut off all the metal products on his clothes with scissors. Even the buttons on his pants were not spared, Shi Shaoying couldn't help but take a deep breath. He knew that, just as Ximal's super crow mouth said, they were in super big trouble!
Taking away his shoes is to prevent him from running away. You must know that without the protection of shoes, a person cannot run far and his feet will be injured; not to spare all the metal products on his body, even the buttons made of plastic, not only prevent him from using these things to make escape tools, but even prevent him from committing suicide by swallowing the buttons.
Regardless of the reason, he and Himal have been included in highly suspected targets by the Somalia Security Bureau. The worst thing is that this country is trapped in a civil war, and life is like grass. Moreover, China does not have an embassy in Somalia, so it is impossible for him to ask for help from the Chinese embassy.
An hour and a half later, Shi Shaoying was taken into an interrogation room.
Two men in military uniforms sat behind the interrogation table. Seeing this scene, Shi Shaoying couldn't help but sigh again. When the general national judicial departments formally interrogate the suspect, men are the judges, and then two jurors are paired with one man and one woman. Such a lineup can form a three-to-one numerical advantage and put psychological pressure on the suspect. The most important thing is that having a female juror will relax the subjects a little. When necessary, female jurors can also play the role of "red face". Although this is just a trial skill, maybe female jurors are more cruel than men, in essence, female jurors will have a certain protective effect on the subjects.
Just by looking at the other party sending two professional soldiers to interrogate, Shi Shaoying knew that the interrogation he faced would be extremely hard and even more direct.
Two interrogators swung the file folder in their hands on the table with a "snap", and one of them said directly in English: "saywhatyouwanttosay."
Shi Shaoying spread his hands, pointed to his ears first, and then his mouth, indicating that he would not understand and would not say it. Finally, he said weakly in Chinese: "Can you ask, can you, trouble, work hard, please, can you return my 'foreign language translator' to me first?"
Both interrogators widened their eyes. As personnel from the Somalia National Security Agency, they can speak fluent Arabic and Swahili. Of course, Somali is their native language, but when it comes to Chinese... Please, the Somali government really doesn't have that much money to train them to become a world language encyclopedia!
When he found that the confusion on the faces of the two interrogators became increasingly intense, Shi Shaoying was really anxious. He didn't want to be labeled as "refusing to cooperate" by the other party because of poor language communication.
Shi Shaoying suddenly stretched out his index finger and tapped the two interrogators in front of him. (You)
Shi Shaoying clenched his right hand into a fist shape, then bent his elbows and raised his arms to move up and down. (Hurry up)
After doing these two internationally common tactical signs, Shi Shaoying was a little stunned. How to use tactical signs to type this "foreign language translation machine"? Finally, Shi Shaoying gritted his teeth, stretched out his hands, and gestured out the size and shape of the "foreign language translation machine". He didn't look at the faces of the two interrogators, just pretending that they were all high-IQ talents and had already understood it. (Own-created tactical sign: foreign language translation machine)
Bend the elbows, point the forearm to the ground, close your fingers tightly, swing forward from behind. (Pushing, can also be translated as going)
Shi Shaoying opened his arm and pointed with his index finger at the direction of the Ministry of State Security’s Evidence Room where he stored all his belongings. (There)
Shi Shaoying's palm facing down, spread his five fingers, and took a snatching action. (Give it)
Shi Shaoying stretched his arm to the side, his elbow bent slightly, his wrist was raised to his face and clenched into a fist, and his fist was facing the two judges. (Understand) Immediately afterwards, Shi Shaoying opened his right hand and used his index finger to draw a world-wide "?" in the air. If these two gestures were combined, it would become a tactical hand-style question created by Shi Shaoying: "Understanderstand?"
Adding the full set of gestures together, Shi Shaoying conveyed this sentence to the two interrogators: "Hurry up and get my foreign language translator there, yours... understand?!"
