The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

There are many types of bananas in Africa. In addition to the varieties that can be eaten raw, there are also rice bananas that must be fried and cooked before they can be eaten. They taste a bit like sweet potatoes.

Bananas are one of the main sources of food calories for local people, and due to their extremely high yield, the excess bananas are used to make wine.

Due to the high pectin content in bananas, methanol is easily produced during the brewing process. Fortunately, the locals are not very proficient in distillation technology, so even if they drink too much, it is difficult to cause methanol poisoning.

Foreign tourists generally seldom drink this local wine called banana beer, because unlike the wine that is stepped on by the beautiful feet of European and American girls, the people responsible for stepping on the bananas are either black uncles or black aunts.

On the road that Jack and Hannah just passed, about 100 Odebiaos roared past every day on their sturdy and durable -inch bicycles.

On average, each 400-inch truck has to carry nearly 500 kilograms of bananas. Adding the weight of the people, the load basically exceeds kilograms.

Tanzania does not have as many mountains as Burundi, so naturally there are not so many downhill roads for Odebia and others to enjoy the thrill of speeding.

However, because the economy here is relatively good, although the round trip distance is nearly 200 kilometers a day, the money earned is much more. When things are good, you can even earn the equivalent of 10-15 US dollars.

Most of the people doing this business are young people around 20 years old. The income from their hard work for a day is enough to support a family of several people, but usually they will work hard to save money and try to buy a second-hand motorcycle as soon as possible.

Today, bananas in a certain market are destined to be out of stock because a rich American came and called all the Odebiaos galloping on this road for $50 per person.

So not only did the Odebies who had just loaded up with bananas come to join in the fun, but even the guys who had already run halfway were called back.

Old Muto and his militiamen maintained order at the scene very well. Generally speaking, these Odebiaos, who were completely black with glistening sweat on their skin, were relatively honest types.

After throwing the coins, Jack soon got the news he wanted. The day before yesterday morning, someone did see a group of dusty foreign tourists getting on a bus on the roadside. They were all wearing the same red T-shirts, and it was also confirmed that there was a white child of seven or eight years old among them.

Although none of the Odebiaos knew how to count and couldn't tell roughly how many people there were, Jack was able to figure out from the gestures of a few of them that it was a long-nosed yellow bus that could seat at least 30 people.

At this time, we should be grateful for Tanzania's poor infrastructure. After all, there are only a few good roads.

Unless the bus could run across the grassland like an off-road jeep, Jack only needed to judge from the last sighting location that they were heading towards Lake Victoria.

"Are they planning to leave the country by water?" Jack looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Tanzania owns about half of Lake Victoria's water area, while the rest belongs to Kenya and Uganda.

"Anyway, this is good news. You'd better report it as soon as possible. I heard that someone above can't wait to send out the army and special forces to conduct a large-scale search."

Old Muto reminded with a hint of worry.

Just as Jack and Hannah were hesitating whether to continue tracking along the discovered route, Jubal called via satellite.

They and Detective Pollino successfully arrested Pastor Tumer Makanni in a small village and have completed preliminary interrogation.

Strictly speaking, this pastor is somewhat unworthy of his title. In Jubal's view, Tumer Makanni is more like a religious leader. His title of pastor is self-proclaimed and he belongs to neither Catholicism nor Protestantism.

Tanzania is a multi-religious country. Except for Zanzibar Island where the majority of people believe in Y religion, the rest of the country either believes in JD religion or the local primitive fetishism.

With the introduction of foreign religions, these primitive local religions have also kept pace with the times and gradually evolved into some strange hybrid products.

Some of these doctrines are more radical and are considered extreme religions. Of course, this is an implicit statement. To put it more directly, they are similar to cults.

Tumer Makanni is a typical example. He is a good social person who uses his proficiency in several languages ​​to play the game of having his cake and eat it too.

In the eyes of foreign philanthropists, Tumer Makanni is a highly respected pastor with many followers, and they will feel at ease handing over part of the aid supplies to him.

After receiving these aid supplies, this "kind" pastor would sell most of them and exchange them for cash to buy various guns and ammunition to arm his followers.

The remaining small amount of supplies will be used to win people's hearts and force the poor in nearby villages to believe in his own made-up, ridiculous so-called doctrine and then brainwash them.

It has to be said that this "pastor" is a talented person. If given time, he may really be able to lead an extreme religious armed force.

Unfortunately, he had suffered a great loss not long ago, and the "heaven on earth" he dreamed of building suffered a major setback.

Tumer Makanni did receive a shipment of aid from Jacob Bruce and swallowed up a large portion of it, but before he could carry it all away, most of his followers suddenly deserted him and took away most of the supplies.

So when Detective Pollino led a group of police officers and Jubal and his men to find him, the unfortunate "pastor" couldn't even put up any decent resistance and was captured alive along with his remaining two confidants.

Tumer Makanni has temporarily escaped the suspicion of being a kidnapper. Of course, the Tanzanian authorities will not let this liar and cult leader go, but his mysteriously disappeared followers have come into the FBI's sight.

Jubal believes that this "priest" may have encountered a player of a higher level and was "taken advantage of" by someone else.

While progress was being made in Africa, Rossi and Jiejie, who stayed in New York, also made new discoveries of their own.

After talking with the families of all ten missing women, Jiejie found a common point: these women had all been victims of domestic violence, and later on, they all chose certain beliefs as their spiritual sustenance.

Rossi met Jacob Bruce's wife Sarah, who was confirmed dead.

The couple was not just separating. According to Sarah, their divorce agreement was sent to Jacob Bruce a year ago.

The latter was unwilling to sign the divorce agreement, arguing that her wedding vows included an oath to God and she did not want to break her oath.

When Rossi asked her about the Brunswick Mission, she found that her emotions were a little off, especially when she mentioned Elijah Ward.

After some counseling, Sarah told the truth: Jacob Bruce and Elijah Ward were not partners as they seemed, but more like master and servant.

Jacob Bruce privately worshipped the latter and called him the "Loyal Agent".

"So they are not the partners or partnerships we originally thought. Elijah is the real leader and we should focus on him," Rossi suggested.

Combining the clues in New York with the findings of Jubal and his team, Jack easily came to a conclusion.

"So we got it wrong before. For those women, it was indeed a kidnapping, but for the others, it was actually a premeditated extreme religious act."

"All the men are accomplices, so they carry very little carry-on luggage and never use social media accounts." Hannah suddenly realized.

"Elijah pried off the 'pastor's' followers and turned them into his own team in Africa, pretending to be kidnappers and hijacked everyone on the train.

All the men present were aware of the situation, and with their cooperation, the women did not dare to resist and obeyed their orders. This was a disguised obedience test, a common tactic used by cults.
