A group of people drove all the way north from Gaborone, the capital, and Bai Xinyu enjoyed the natural scenery of Africa. He also visited several communication base stations, most of which had already been built. For maintenance, there is one under construction. Sure enough, as Mr. Xu said, their people are guarding with live ammunition, and workers are working nearby. At first glance, it really looks like enslaving cheap labor in a movie.
While inspecting, Mr. Xu explained to him how they work, the deployment of personnel, the distribution of resources, the allocation of weapons, how to improve security, how to reduce or resolve conflicts with local residents and armed forces. After listening all the way, Bai It was only then that Xin Yu realized that the investigations he had done before were too superficial. If he wanted to run such a company well, the problems he actually faced were too complicated. If he had no experience at all, he could only serve as a bodyguard for celebrities and big bosses.
Bai Xinyu was overjoyed that he had acquired a lot of knowledge and experience in the past few days. He took the initiative to extend the expected inspection period. He also lived in a communication base station for two days, constantly communicating with those security personnel. Gradually, he understood why Yu Fengcheng suggested that he cooperate with Mr. Xu, because he could avoid a lot of detours, and most of these "detours" meant the security personnel's own safety. Yu Fengcheng was somewhat grateful.
When their trip was about to end and they were about to return to Gaborone, Mr. Xu suddenly received a call. They were eating at that time. Mr. Xu went out with his mobile phone. Ten minutes later, he came back with a serious expression on his face. .
Bai Xinyu asked, "Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Mr. Xu waved his hand, "There is a problem in the north, I have to rush over to deal with it, Xin Yu, I will ask Da Hui to take you back to Gaborone, and I will not go back with you."
"What's wrong?" Bai Xinyu said, "Brother Xu, do you mind if I go and have a look?"
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "It's not about confidentiality, but this trip may be a little dangerous. It's okay. The problem is not serious. I'll talk to you when I return to China."
Bai Xinyu said: "Brother Xu, if you say that, I want to go and see it even more. If I want to do this business, danger is unavoidable. I am here for inspection, and I have not done the most important part. After the investigation, I came all the way here. I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. If we really cooperate in the future, there will be no danger for you to rush up. I’ll go back to the hotel and stay, don’t you think?”
Mr. Xu frowned and hesitated.
Dahui said: "Mr. Xu, what's the situation? Tell us. If it's not particularly critical, let's go and have a look together. We can also help you deal with it."
Mr. Xu said: "There is a problem with a communication base station near the Caprivi area in the north."
Da Hui snorted, "It's there again, I knew it wouldn't be peaceful there."
"Caprivi?" Bai Xinyu heard this word from time to time in the past two days, because this is the key area of work of Mr. Xu and the others.
Caprivi does not belong to Botswana, but to Namibia. This place is very peculiar. It is a thin-striped area sandwiched between Angola, Zambia and Botswana. It used to be a German colony in history and was once ruled by South Africa. It even became independent for a while, and finally came under the jurisdiction of Namibia. Under this complicated history of ownership and unique geographical location, this area has been in turmoil all year round. The ethnic conflicts between the two local ethnic groups—the Roji and the Ofanbo people are very intense. Coupled with the borders of several countries, smuggling, border crossing, drug trafficking, and mine theft are also very serious. Although Zhongwei did not establish a base station in Caprivi, the communication base station in Shakawe, the northernmost part of Botswana, is less than ten kilometers away from the Caprivi area. It is a very important "eye" that cannot be given up. During Wei's stay in Botswana, the two conflicts in which people died were both at the Shakawe base station.
Mr. Xu nodded, "Two people from Luoji got drunk and drove their car near our base station, and died in a car accident. It turned out that these two people were the son and mistress of the powerful Luoji gang boss in the local area. I brought a large group of people to Shakawe to collect the corpses. Our people didn’t know what happened, and because of misunderstandings in communication, some conflicts occurred. Personally, because we do not allow them to collect evidence on the base station, the police in Botswana believe that the Logis crossed the border illegally and got involved. The situation is a bit chaotic now, but it is still under control, so I have to rush over to deal with it.”
Bai Xinyu smiled, "Brother Xu, this is much safer than going to the battlefield. I don't think it's a big problem. Take me to have a look."
Dahui also said: "After all, we have no direct conflict with them. We should go to the local area to coordinate and it should be fine. In fact, most of the security tasks are still based on defense and communication. I think we should take Mr. Bai to see See, that completes the expedition."
Bai Xinyu nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Xu thought for a while, "Okay, let's go and have a look together, but Xin Yu, we have agreed in advance, and everything will be under my control when we get there."
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "Brother Xu, why didn't I listen to you all the way?"
Mr. Xu said: "Okay, let's start now, it's only three or four hours' drive from Shakawe."
Bai Xinyu faintly felt a little excited. This trip will definitely see something different, and there is a deep-seated desire for danger and excitement in his body. The peaceful city life makes him, who has experienced bloody battlefields, Feeling a little tired from time to time, a group of seven people sat in two off-road vehicles and drove to Shakawe in the north.
When the car was on the way, Bai Xinyu received a call from Yu Fengcheng.
When Mr. Xu heard the phone ringing, he smiled triumphantly, "Look, if it wasn't for our Zhongwei, would you be able to make calls anytime in this poor place?" He has excellent eyesight, and he saw Bai Xinyu's screen at a glance, "Oh, little Yu called?"
Bai Xinyu smiled and said, "That's right, it's really convenient." In front of Mr. Xu, he couldn't help answering, "Hello?"
"Xinyu, where are you?"
"We're investigating in the north."
"Is it the plane coming back the day after tomorrow?"
"almost."
"almost?"
Bai Xinyu evaded the matter and said lightly: "I still have to go to the next place to investigate, I wonder if I can catch the plane the day after tomorrow."
"You have already postponed the return date once, do you want to postpone it again?" Yu Fengcheng said in a low voice: "It's not a fun place, come back almost, and you can go again when you have a chance."
"It's too tiring to run around, why don't you take a look." Bai Xinyu said: "It's late here, let's talk about it when we go back."
Yu Fengcheng was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Be careful, the security in the north is not very good."
"I see."
Yu Fengcheng lowered his voice, "Do you miss me a little? Will you bring me a souvenir?"
Bai Xinyu said: "The souvenirs at the airport are all produced in Yiwu. As many as you want, I'll wholesale them directly from China."
Yu Fengcheng smiled, "As long as you give it to me, it doesn't matter what it is."
Bai Xinyu pretended not to hear, and hurriedly said: "Well, don't worry, goodbye." Then he hung up the phone immediately.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "You two have a very good relationship in the army, right?"
Bai Xinyu said with a dry smile: "Yes." It's not just good, I've slept through it, he thought sarcastically.
Mr. Xu said with emotion: "Most of my comrades-in-arms back then didn't see each other again after retiring from the army. Big Hui was my little brother when I was in Langya, and A Ling was his cousin. A group of them joined the army. In the Ministry of International Security, Half of them are my comrades-in-arms or old acquaintances in the army. I think it is difficult for soldiers, especially special forces, to adapt to the rhythm of normal society after retiring from the army. They will be at a loss because they can’t find their place. Doing something will make you feel better, so I really appreciate your original intention of starting a security company."
Bai Xinyu nodded, "Brother Xu, I even want to work for you."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
At around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, they finally arrived at Shakawe. This communication base station was really not trivial. A small base was specially built for it. The base was surrounded by walls and steel thorns, which is enough to show how uneven this area is.
On the road not far from the base station, there are traces of a mess, which is obviously the scene of a car accident. The overturned sports car has been completely deformed, and the entire car accident area is protected by a isolation belt. Hei, I can't see who it is, but I saw a lot of people holding guns.
Their car drove in through the back door of the base, and the director of the base ran out to meet them. When he saw Mr. Xu, he looked like he had seen a savior, "Mr. Xu, you are here."
"What's going on now?"
"Isn't it getting dark? After a day of trouble, the Luo Ji people went back first, but I don't know what will happen tomorrow."
"Tell us exactly what's going on."
After they entered the meeting room, they learned what had happened in the eight hours since the car accident. First, the Luo Ji gang brought people to find the corpse, and then surrounded the base and asked to see the surveillance video outside the base. In order not to cause trouble, they released the video of that period, but the Luo Ji people were not satisfied and asked When entering the base to search, we also need to watch all the videos inside and outside the base half a month ago to find evidence that the Ofanbo people assassinated the eldest son. Some things in the base are military-grade secrets, so it is impossible for them to see them. Just when they were at a stalemate, the border police came and wanted to let the Luoji people who crossed the border illegally leave, but they did not dare to use force, so the three parties stalemate up to now.
After listening to Mr. Xu, he pondered for a moment, "First transfer the important data, and destroy all backups. Tonight we will 'clean up' the base overnight."
The supervisor frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, do we need to do this? As long as we cooperate with the investigation, they won't be hard-pressed."
Mr. Xu shook his head, "That's not certain. After all, this is not our territory. Our power and influence are the weakest. After all, we are just a company. Although the Luoji people have scruples, their patience is also limited. Yes. A large number of them blatantly appeared in Botswana, and the border police did not dare to forcibly deport them. This place is separated from Caprivi. If anything happens, their foreign aid can arrive within 10 minutes. Ours is thousands of miles away, if our cooperation cannot satisfy them, they will use their own methods to investigate, instead of doing this, it is better to open the door and let them in, so act now."
"Yes."
The people at the base quickly took action.
Bai Xinyu smelled a tense atmosphere. He looked at the dignified President Xu and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xu, is the situation more serious than you think?"
Mr. Xu nodded, "It's a coincidence that a car accident happened right next to the base. We drove by and saw it. The road there is flat, there are no obstacles, and there is nothing that can affect the vision. At the darkest time before dawn, there were no lights nearby. On this lonely base, the images captured by the camera were very dark. Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but we all saw it. The car turned over strangely. No wonder Roger People suspect that they may have checked something from the car. We don’t know how much tricks there are in it now, the situation is too unclear, and we must prepare for the worst as soon as possible.”
"The worst situation… "
"The worst case is that there will be an armed conflict, but the chances are very small. The Logis should not be so impulsive, but they are likely to forcibly enter the base and search our things."
"How many people are there in the base?" Bai Xinyu asked.
"12 employees and workers, 5 security personnel, plus 7 of us, a total of 24 people."
"Where are the weapons?"
Mr. Xu curled his lips and smiled, "It's still enough, but that's the last thing we want to use."
Bai Xinyu touched his chin, "I'll watch the video a few more times." He watched the video of the car accident dozens of times, and he became more and more sure that it was a man-made car accident, and the car might have been destroyed by a small capsule bomb. The turbo system on the steering wheel, the car suddenly lost its balance and rolled over into a dry drain under the road. The two people in the car were not wearing seat belts, and the sports car was thin-skinned. Both died on the spot. If the Ovanbo people really murdered these two people, the Logi people must find evidence to seek revenge, so they were unlucky and happened to be in the place where the car accident happened
Mr. Xu sat next to him and took a weary breath.
"Brother Xu, how is the cleaning going?"
"I'll have to work all night." He twisted his neck, "It's no good, I'm old, the injury I got when I was young, it doesn't feel like a big deal, and I'm still alive and kicking after it's healed, but it won't work after the age of forty, what an old problem They've all been found."
"Brother Xu, you don't look like 40 at all, you are energetic."
Mr. Xu smiled, and raised his chin towards the video, "Did you see anything?"
Bai Xinyu shook his head, then nodded again, "What a coincidence, there is only one building, our communication tower, in a few kilometers around this place, how come the car overturned just in a place with video surveillance, this car was obviously tampered with , but why did they choose this place? If the Ofanbo people wanted to assassinate these two people, they shouldn’t have left clues for the Logi people to pursue evidence.”
Mr. Xu sighed: "This is the most strange thing. I am very worried. There are other purposes that are not good for us behind this."
"You mean..." Bai Xinyu frowned tightly, "Maybe they came after us?"
"I can't rule out this possibility, but the chances are not high. I prefer to believe that this is an internal conflict between the two major ethnic groups in the Caprivi area. We just happened to get involved. Xin Yu, have you seen this? This is security. What the department has to face is that in a foreign country, any situation may happen. We must do our best to protect the safety of employees first, and then protect company secrets and property. To do this, the most important thing is to avoid conflicts , so don’t think that the security personnel are just showing off with guns, everything we do must... "
boom!
The two stood up abruptly. They were all too familiar with that sound, it was gunshots!
