The Yibogu gold mine had just started. Cao Mo did not dare to be careless in the slightest, so he resigned Lucy, Stena came to take over the job of the cook, and explained the new residence and other matters. Early the next morning, he and Soussi
Tena went to Draculamore's Porto and others, and rushed back to Lonta together.
On the way, Cao Mo was still thinking of discussing with the old chief about expanding vegetable planting in the tribe. Before the motorcycle entered the chief's compound, a group of children came running over to the tribe with bare feet and shouted:
"The police are coming into the tribe to arrest you. You should hide quickly..."
Cao Mo was shocked. He was perfectly fine and had not broken any laws. He only went to Longta Town occasionally to purchase necessary supplies for the mine. How could he be targeted by the local police?
There were no police cars or old chief Felician in the village. A worker ran out of old chief Felician's house. Only then did Cao Mo know that old chief Felician had just accompanied four policemen to the mine.
.
Kabuga had a satellite phone in his hand, but when the police rushed to the tribe, Cao Mo happened to be on his way back to Yibogu Village. There was no signal on his mobile phone, so Kabuga was able to contact him.
Kabuga and the old chief Felician led the police to the mine first, leaving one worker behind to guard the tribe. They waited for Cao Mo to come back and told him to hide first.
Cao Mo was a little panicked. He was so stubborn. Not only at the mine, but also at the Longta Market, he was doing things in the name of the Felician family. Why was he being targeted by the local department?
Cao Mo didn't think that all his procedures were in compliance, and he would be fine if he was targeted by the local law enforcement agencies. But now that nothing was clear, he couldn't just hide without any care.
Cao Mo gritted his teeth and rushed directly to the mine with Botu and others; a group of children watching the excitement followed them barefoot and ran towards the mine.
In front of the working shed in the mining area, an old Nissan sedan with some rust on the corners was parked, and there was no local police station logo printed on the car.
In addition to the workers at the mine, there were many villagers gathered around the wooden house - it was his temporary residence at the mine, and the door number of the general manager's office was nailed to the lintel. Seeing this situation, without even thinking, he knew that the four
The police had already broken in and searched.
The safe, as well as the gold sand and other valuables collected every day, are placed in the rooms of Kabuga and Owema. There is currently no full-time accountant in the mine, and Owema is usually in charge of the key to the safe, but there are
When something needs to be accessed from the safe, Overema hands the key to Kabuga, who then accesses it with the password and key.
Cao Mo made this arrangement. On the one hand, he was showing his trust in Kabuga and Overema. He let them take care of the most important matters in the mine. If anything unusual happened in Kabuga and Overema, he could not hide it.
His terrible intuition.
There was another reason that Cao Mo would not say.
That is because he is worried that some workers in the mine are colluding with criminal groups outside. Isn't it more dangerous if he puts the safe in his room?
Seeing the miners and villagers watching the excitement gathered around the door of his room, Cao Mo felt relieved. At least the safe had not been confiscated by the police yet.
Kabuga did not follow Felician and Overmar to accompany the police into the mining area to search, but hid in the ravine. At this time, he saw Cao Mo and Potu rushing back to the mine, and ran over crawling and rolling.
Said anxiously:
"Why did you come back if you weren't stopped at the entrance of the village?"
"I haven't broken any laws, so how can I hide? Why did the police come to the mine? Why didn't they even have a police car? They just drove over in a broken car. Have you confirmed their identities? Are they real police or fake police?" Cao Mo
He took a breath, calmed himself down, and then asked Kabuga.
"It was said that someone reported us for illegal mining, and also said that foreign workers were illegally employed in the mine..."
When the police drove into the tribe, Kabuja and Overema rushed over immediately. However, the police are a powerful department in Kanem. Even if they did not drive a police car, Kabuja did not think of questioning their identities.
The old chief Felician also seemed to be afraid of the local police department and did not dare to lead the villagers and mine workers to stop them forcefully.
This is not difficult to understand.
The old chiefs Felician and Overema were veteran soldiers who served in the fifth military government. After the fifth military government was overthrown by a coup, they were purged from the army, but the sixth military government suppressed them.
It has not stopped, and they have also had a difficult time in the local area in recent years.
The sixth military government of Kanem was in power for more than eight years. By 2002, it accepted the arrangements of the United Nations, ended its rule peacefully, and held democratic elections.
Therefore, from Kanem's federal government to the regions, the long-term forces run by the sixth military government still have extremely strong strength and influence, and have not been purged just because the democratically elected government came to power.
For example, the police force in the Lonta region did not change its blood after the democratically elected government came to power.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that the old chief Felician is afraid of the municipal authority that emerged after the elections in Lonta.
"..."
Cao Mo was about to ask for some details when he saw Felician, Overmar and others walking out of the wooden house accompanied by four local policemen in uniforms.
Four policemen were holding a pile of things that had been searched from his room. Overmar and several workers were angrily trying to stop the police from taking the things away; Felician was a little calmer and was explaining something to the police.
However, the four police officers did not listen to their excuses or obstruction, and forcefully walked towards the Nissan car.
"Who are you?" Cao Mo rushed forward, stopped the four policemen, and asked sternly in Yoruba.
The four policemen probably did not expect that a foreigner could be so proficient in Yoruba. They were a little dazed for a moment, but the middle-aged policeman who led him recovered first and replied in Yoruba: "We are Long
From the Tower Police Department, I suspect that this is illegal mining and hiring foreign labor. Who are you?"
“I am the operations and technical director employed by the Felician Family Gold Mining Company. The Felician Family Gold Mining Company is a mining company with complete documents and is licensed by the Oyo State Government. Everything is in compliance with Kanem’s
Law. I don’t know why you suspect that this is illegal mining and illegal employment of foreign labor. According to my superficial understanding of the laws of Kanem country, even if someone reports illegal employment and mining, it should be to the immigration and mining management department.
Law enforcement. I don’t know why you are here. Please show me your police ID and search permit. There are many vicious crimes in Kanem pretending to be police officers to rob businesses. I will not allow it until you show your police ID and search permit.
Just take these things away..."
Cao Mo gritted his teeth and shouted sharply.
These grandsons are really good at picking things, and they want to take away every valuable gadget in his room. There is also a small bag of gold sand that was not even put into the safe during the production today - only this small bag
The sand alone is worth three to four thousand dollars.
Regardless of whether their actions this time are aimed at the old chief Felician again, if they are really allowed to take away the things so easily and taste the sweetness, will there be any peace here?
"Who are you? It's your turn to stand up and speak - if you don't go away, I will handcuff you back to the police station for questioning!" The middle-aged policeman stared at Cao Mo arrogantly and asked him to get out of the way.
Cao Mo's intuition told him that the identities of these four police officers were true, but they did not have any search warrants on them, and no one reported them at all. They simply came to the door after hearing someone say that the gold output of the Yibogu Gold Mine had increased sharply.
Blackmailing old Felician.
Judging from the reactions of the old chief Felician and the surrounding villagers, it can be seen that even after the democratically elected government came to power, the old chief and Overema have not been targeted by local law enforcement agencies.
Only this time he was hit.
It's just that these fucking policemen robbed him of his money, and after getting a taste of it, they will keep coming to extort money from him in the future!
This strong intuition made Cao Mo furious.
Cao Mo has dealt with the police in Kanem, and he also knows very well that now that his attitude has softened, not only will the local police come to his door from time to time to fight against Qiu Feng, but various law enforcement agencies will most likely pounce on him like ferocious vultures to search and gnaw at him.
Eat him.
Of course, these four policemen seemed to be menacing, but Cao Mo's intuition told him that his appearance made the four policemen feel guilty, and they seemed to be frightened by his righteous words.
Cao Mo's head felt hot, and he angrily walked to the motorcycle, uncovered the seat cushion, took out a gun, and fired two shots into the air. Then he walked up to the four policemen and pointed the gun at the middle-aged policeman.
On the forehead, he said sternly: "I suspect that you are robbers pretending to be police officers. Whoever dares to make a move will be killed by me. Let me say it again. Please show your police ID and search permit, otherwise you will not even think about it."
Take it away!”
"Bang, bang," two gunshots were fired, causing birds to fly in the forest. The miners and villagers who were watching were also shocked. They did not expect that China, which usually had a gentle attitude and taught and disciplined the workers, let Kabja and Overema rush ahead.
The overseer will be so bloody and fierce at this time.
The blood in the chests of Overmar and several miners was also aroused. They screamed and stepped forward, punching and kicking them.
The four policemen were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to fight back. With trembling voices, they begged Cao Mo for mercy: "Don't shoot, the IDs are in our pockets. Come and get them - Felician, Overmar, they all
Recognize us. After receiving the report, we came directly to the mine without a search warrant, but we are indeed from the Longta Police Department..."
Cao Mo didn't care, and he would not bother to verify their identities. He shouted sharply at the four policemen:
"I don't care if Mr. Felician recognizes you or not. If you break into the mine illegally without a search warrant, you are a robber! Who knows whether you have documents in your pockets, and who knows whether these so-called documents are true or false. Who knows?
I know whether Mr. Felician has been deceived by you - Kanem is a great country, but the damn security is too chaotic. There are robbers pretending to be policemen everywhere. If you are really the police, why don't you crack down on these?
Robbers, but they came to harass a well-behaved industrial and mining industry like ours? Let me let you go this time, and get out of here!"
Seeing the four policemen leaving in a hurry, Cao Mo was still panicking to be honest.
It is said that a strong dragon does not suppress local snakes. These policemen are real local snakes. They have clearly bullied the old chief Felician. But he, let alone a strong dragon, is just a little loach now.
Although he drove away the four policemen, it would be pure self-deception to say that he was not worried about them turning around to find ways to retaliate and that he was not panicked. But in front of Owema, Kabuga and the old chief Felician, even if he was pretending
, you must calm down first and figure out the situation before talking...
