Chapter 6312: Dangerous Arranger
Lin Rui picked up a towel in a tent and threw it to the Tuareg tribal leader who was still in a daze.
"Wipe the blood off your face, you are the leader of the tribe, your state will directly affect the mentality of your subordinates.
So whether you are sad or desperate, don't put these negative emotions on your face. To do otherwise will only make our already difficult situation even worse. "Lin Rui took a water bag from a dead camel, took a few mouthfuls of water, and then threw the water bag to the tribal leader, signaling him to wash the blood on his face.
The lips of the tribal leader trembled a little. Although these Tuaregs were also desert bandits. But such a tragic battle has not been experienced a few times.
He saw Lin Rui hesitate to speak. At this moment, Yelena walked in from the outside, put down the gun, and opened her hand.
In the palm of her hand was a handful of yellow bullet casings. "Nine." Yelena dumped the shell casings in her hands on the ground.
9 bullet casings, and within minutes, she killed 9 people. Most of them are the opponent's firepower.
The tribal leader looked at her dully, as if he couldn't believe that such a beautiful woman was such an efficient killing machine.
Lin Rui patted the tribal leader's shoulder, "Okay, wash your face and gather your men. Say a few words to boost morale, and then we have to leave here and find a relatively safe place.
I think we may have a lot of things to talk about. "
"What are you talking about?" The tribal leader looked at Lin Rui strangely.
"I feel like we have a lot to talk about. And it has to be open and honest, if you keep anything from me then I'm afraid there's only one of us left.
And if you have to force me to kill you, I'll kill everyone here.
Because I know that you Tuaregs have the habit of revenge, so after I kill you, I can't spare any of your people. "
Just as the tribal leader was about to speak, Yelena had already walked up to him, staring at the tribal leader with a pair of green eyes.
Look at this beautiful blond woman with 9 bullet casings on the ground. The leader of the Tuareg tribe who was about to argue just now swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Finally the tribal leader stood up reluctantly, went to the middle of the crowd and said a few words of encouragement. The remaining Tuareg fighters all raised their guns and shouted loudly.
After regaining their strength, their camel team continued on the road. Instead of following the original route, they made a circle to the southeast side.
Because there is another Tuareg tribe there, and it is a large tribe with strong soldiers and horses.
As long as they get there, their safety is guaranteed. To attack such a large tribe in the desert, I am afraid that even the regular army of some African countries will not be able to do it.
Although the militants who attacked them were well-equipped and well-trained, there were not many of them. So they believe that the opponent is unlikely to use more people to attack, a large Tuareg tribe.
Lin Rui didn't object either. He knew that in the desert, these Tuareg warriors were the real experts. They are born to know how to survive and fight in this desert.
After quieting down a bit, Lin Rui went directly to the tribal leader, "I'm sorry, Chief, we have to talk."
Lin Rui's tone was not kind, but the other Tuareg fighters in the tent dared not speak out. Because they saw with their own eyes how brave this man was in the previous battle.
These nomads in the desert are cunning and cruel, without any credibility, but they are very easy to submit to a greater power.
Because the law of survival in the desert is even more cruel and barbaric than the law of the jungle.
To use their centuries-old proverb: the brave win everything, but the coward can only become a slave.
The leader of the Tuareg people looked at Lin Rui, and could only nod, and waved others to get out of the tent first.
"What does Mr. Rick want to know?" The tribal leader picked up the teapot and poured Lin Rui a cup of tea.
Lin Rui picked up the teacup and drank it down. Then he looked at the other side and said, "Everything. I have always had a feeling that some of the things I have experienced recently are full of some kind of coincidence. If it is a coincidence, it may be accidental. But a series of coincidences is likely to be On purpose. You know what I mean?"
The tribal leader said in embarrassment, "I don't quite understand."
"Let's put it this way, originally, I had a friend who asked me for help. I was supposed to go to his place according to the plan, but on the way, I accidentally encountered a group of Colombian rebels hijacking the plane, and I was caught in it by accident. What's more unexpected is that they I hijacked the plane to this desert. And just after the forced landing, I encountered your ambush. Isn't all this too coincidental?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.
"This...Mr. Rick, I can assure you that this was absolutely an accident. We didn't even think you were on the plane. We didn't have any intentions for you at all. We all know that we have a very good relationship with you. So we don't We may attack you. Moreover, we also know the consequences of offending you. In the Sahara Desert, no one knows what you are doing in Western Sahara. So it is absolutely impossible for us to be your enemy.
In fact, after we know your identity, we have always respected you, Mr. Rick. "The tribal leader shook his head immediately.
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Ignore these things for now. I know you didn't intend to deal with me, but it is very likely that you were also used. You have to tell me why you knew to ambush the hijacked plane there."
The tribal leader was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "I got the news in advance. Actually, this time we are hired to act."
"Employed?" Lin Rui frowned slightly, "So, someone hired you to do this?"
"Yes." The tribal leader nodded, "You know that we Tuaregs walk in the desert all year round. In addition to taking some jobs as caravan guards, we will also take on some jobs similar to your mercenaries. As long as the price is right , we do everything."
Lin Rui nodded. He has a deep understanding of the Tuareg tribe and knows their inside story.
The living environment in the desert is extremely harsh. They can survive here. Apart from grazing and serving as guards, they naturally do a lot of other things such as looting and looting. In fact, this is their ancient tradition. This kind of robbery and mercenary work is also one of the important livelihoods of the Tuareg people.
"Who hired you?" Lin Rui asked.
"I don't know. We didn't contact the other party. In fact, we provided work through a middleman. He clearly told us that there would be no trouble. Moreover, we ambushed a group of hijackers. You may get a reward." The tribal leader replied, "And he didn't mention your existence. He just told us that there may be kidnapped passengers on the plane, and if these people are rescued, they will definitely be rewarded."
"I understand, that's why you asked me for a reward." Lin Rui nodded. "But it's not right? When these people contacted you, it should be before the hijacking happened, right?"
"Yes. It was a few days ago. Is there any problem?" The tribal leader asked strangely.
Yelena said coldly, "It's a big problem. According to what you said, these people foresaw the hijacking incident a few days ago, and accurately judged where the hijacked plane will land. They hired you here in advance to ambush. Can To do so requires at least a few conditions. First, they must know the hijacking operation of the Colombian rebels, and they must know all the details. Including which flight was hijacked, and even the specific route of their escape.
The only people who can know such a precise plan are the Colombian rebels themselves. And how could they hire you to catch themselves? What you're saying doesn't make sense at all. "
The tribal leader was embarrassed, "But what I said is true, I really only know so much."
Lin Rui thought for a while, "They asked you to carry out an ambush at the ambush point, when exactly did it start?"
"About six hours before the ambush began," the tribal leader replied.
"Are you sure?" Lin Rui asked.
"It should be." The tribal leader replied, "I remember it very clearly. They seem to know exactly where the plane landed. The location of the landing place they gave me is less than one kilometer from the plane's forced landing point."
Lin Rui thought for a while, then turned to look at Yelena and said, "He didn't lie. It should be like this. The person who hired them knew the whole process of the operation. It is very likely that one of these hijackers is the insider of the hirer." .Because they left after the negotiations at Columbia Airport, and it was about six to eight hours before we landed."
"That is to say, when they took off from the Colombian airport, the person who hired the Tuaregs had already started arranging for them to ambush in advance." Yelena frowned. "But they are really so sure, will we land at their predetermined location? Can he guess this?"
"I didn't guess it. It was deliberately arranged. In this area, only this area is eligible for forced landing. It is open enough, and there are no large sand dunes. The sand is soft and very suitable for forced landing." Lin Rui replied, "So They have the Tuareg ambushing around this area. Because they even pre-selected the landing site."
Yelena shuddered, "These people are so thoughtful? So, maybe everything is deliberately arranged?"
"Yes, I suspect that all of this is a trap." Lin Rui whispered. "Even Zhao Jianfei's request for help information was forged. Through some channels, these people learned about our special contact information, and then sent me a message. He knew that we would definitely rush there as quickly as possible. So they We can easily determine our route from Ecuador to Santiago via Peru.
And as long as we know when we arrive in Ecuador, we can figure out which plane we take. So they prepare everything in advance. "
"But what are these people going to do? Why did the Colombian rebels do this?" Yelena was really puzzled.
Lin Rui thought for a while, "These things will never be done by the Colombian rebels. They may only be the one being used in this series of incidents. They really just want to hijack the plane and demand the release of their accomplices. They That's all there is to know. And the Tuaregs, too, all they know is to ambush a bunch of hijackers here for a bounty."
"But they were the ones who hijacked the plane, and you also said that the hirer who hired the Tuareg knew all the details of this operation. And the people who know this can only be the hijackers, that is, the Colombian rebels .Otherwise, all this doesn't make sense?" Yelena asked.
Lin Rui thought for a while, and said decisively, "I had the same idea as you before. But after careful consideration, I realized that maybe we were looking in the wrong direction. Maybe it wasn't the Colombian rebels who provided the plan to this employer. , but in reverse. It was the hirer who planned the hijacking and then offered the plan to Colombian rebels desperate to rescue their associates.
You think, the Colombian rebel who was caught should be an important leader and has a lot of important information. That's why these Colombian rebels are eager to rescue him.
But the ringleader is in the custody of Colombian authorities, under tight control. They had no means of rescue at all. If at this time, someone provided them with such a plan to hijack the plane to coerce the Colombian authorities to release them. Do you think they will follow suit? "
"If this is the case..." Yelena said in surprise, "If this is the case, I'm afraid they will indeed take risks. After all, those Colombian rebels were originally outlaws."
Lin Rui nodded, "That's right, this person has formulated a strict plan and asked the Colombian rebels to act strictly according to this plan. Then let the Tuareg mantis catch the cicada, with the oriole behind. Ambush These Colombian rebels. These Colombian rebels were silenced, so naturally no one knew that this plan was designed by him and instructed the Colombian rebels to act."
"This idea is really frightening. This means that both the Colombian rebels and the Tuaregs acted as pawns for the opponent without any sympathy." Yelena's expression changed. Get serious.
"Not only them, but we are also counted." Lin Rui whispered.
"But what is their purpose?" Yelena asked.
"There may be two purposes." Lin Rui thought for a while, "One of them is the little rebel leader released by Colombia. The other may be us."
Yelena looked at Lin Rui with some hesitation and said, "Us? But if they want to frame us, can't they just blow up the plane? It's over."
"Of course not, because the person who set it up was completely out of it. Everything he did was done through others. Those Colombian rebels are still trying to escape on a plane. Do you think they will press bombs on the plane they are planning to escape? "Lin Rui shook his head.
