Chapter 1049 Suspicious Locations and Search Teams
There are thousands of languages in Africa. Due to hundreds of years of colonial history, outsiders can hear English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and even the only language not brought by the colonizers, Chinese.
Swahili is a language with obvious colonial marks. It was originally written in Arabic script used by early African colonists, and later switched to Latin script introduced by missionaries and colonial authorities.
In fact, many people have heard Swahili. The theme song of the fourth game in the "Civilization" series, "Baba Yetu", is the Lord's Prayer sung in Swahili.
Many people have been bewitched by this majestic song and unknowingly clicked the "next round" button, and when they looked up in confusion, they found that a whole day had been inexplicably stolen.
Soon everyone in the carriage collected the electronic items of the missing tourists, and a military attaché from the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam also arrived.
He will send these physical evidences such as mobile phones, tablets and cameras to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti as quickly as possible, which is the largest US military base in Africa.
Then the physical evidence will be sent to New York through military channels and handed over to the BAU team.
The tiny country of Djibouti is also a unique flower in Africa. With a land area of 2.3 square kilometers and a population of less than one million, it houses the military bases of three of the five permanent members of the United Nations.
China, the United States and France have all deployed military presences in Djibouti, with the bases of China and the United States only 12.7 kilometers apart. When the transport plane that Jack and others were riding on stopped at Camp Lemonnier for refueling, they saw a bright five-star red flag before landing.
After doing all this, Jubal ended his conversation with the train conductor and returned to the crowd. "For now, we can rule out the suspicion of collusion between the train staff, but to be on the safe side, I still hope you can confirm the situation of his family."
He said this to Detective Pollino. The black officer understood what he meant, raised his hand and called one of his officers, and the two of them whispered to each other.
Jubal then explained to the crowd, "Being able to work on a train in Tanzania is a very rare and generous guarantee for local people. Not only do they have generous salaries and pensions, but their children can also get better education opportunities."
Since the conductor chose to stay after calling the police, it means that he really values his job, which also indirectly reduces his suspicion.
"Did you find any important clues?" Jack glanced at his notebook, which contained very little useful information.
Jubal nodded. "That carriage was the last one on the entire train. I have confirmed with the conductor, the driver, and several staff members that although the train slowed down during the journey, it did not stop at any station."
Aubrey scratched his head. "So it's still a collusion between insiders and outsiders, but it's probably not the staff on the train, but someone among the tourists is colluding with the kidnappers?"
Although this conclusion seems a bit unbelievable, judging from the deliberately damaged door lock, it seems to be the conclusion closest to the truth.
"First inform Garcia and Alice of this speculation and ask them to investigate the identities of those tourists as soon as possible."
Jubal was also scratching his head. A day and a half had passed since the incident, but the information they had was extremely scarce, and New York had not yet sent a complete list of missing persons.
"What is the slowest speed when decelerating? Where is it?" Clay spread out a map on the hood of the Hummer and took out a pencil.
"It is a railway bridge that has been in disrepair for a long time. It is about 150 kilometers away from Agatha. According to the train driver, when passing through this railway bridge, the train speed must be reduced to less than 5-10 kilometers per hour in order to pass slowly."
Based on the location information provided by Jubal, Clay quickly drew a small circle on the map and said, "OK, that's our priority search area."

As a country with relatively stable political situation for a long time, Tanzania is somewhat unique among African countries. They even have a gun ban policy with relatively good enforcement.
At least along the way, everyone did not see another stereotype of Africa in the outside world. The scene of everyone carrying an AK rifle seemed to not exist in this country.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense until an old Liberation truck with mottled paint and looking older than Jubal drove into the station. A large group of strong black men carrying Type 81 rifles and holding tools such as shovels and mining drafts got off the truck.
"Jack?" Jubal subconsciously took a defensive posture. Although they brought weapons with them on this trip, they were limited to their personal pistols.
However, it seemed that only the Americans felt the tense atmosphere at the scene. Jack glanced at the small vendors who were still selling food and souvenirs to passengers on passing trains, and calmly reminded everyone not to overreact.
"Haha, old Muto, you are finally here." Detective Pollino opened his arms and hugged an old man with white hair and beard who came out of the cab.
The old black man, who was still wearing a yellow construction vest, whispered in Swahili to Detective Pollino for a long time, and then he looked at the FBI with a slightly friendlier look.
"What are they talking about?" Hannah knew Jack could understand, so she walked up to him and asked.
"These people are the search team that came to help. They are from the local militia." Jack had some difficulty understanding. Although the other party spoke Swahili, it was mixed with a lot of local dialect words.
The actual content was difficult for him to translate. The words of this old black man with so many wrinkles that it was difficult to tell his age were not very friendly at first. He said things like "Polino, you little bastard, how come you started working for a white master?"
It was not until Detective Pollino roughly explained the whole story and pointed out that Jack and others were also there to help find the missing tourists that the old man put away his sharp eyes.
"Let's go. Now that you have determined the general area, let's set off quickly. Although the distance does not seem too far from the map, the road is not easy to travel."
As Old Muto said this, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen black militiamen who had lined up consciously after getting off the car suddenly laughed and pushed and shoved to climb into the old Jiefang car again.
What is surprising is that this black old man, whose age is hard to tell, can speak fluent English.
Jack's eyes were fixed on the militiamen who were shouting commands such as "Stand at attention" and "At ease" while lining up. Jubal and his companions could not understand the Chinese commands with a slight dialect and might have thought they were spoken in the local dialect, but how could he not hear them?
