Chapter 1055 Things are going to get serious
Jack could guess with his butt what Elijah would say after he brought the deceived women to their destination, which was nothing more than "You have withstood God's test" and so on.
There were 22 people, minus Elijah and the 7-year-old boy Nicholas, leaving exactly 10 men and 10 deceived women. The beads of these bastards' calculations were so loud that it made the whole world roar.
Before dark, the wanted criminals team regrouped in Arusha. Detective Pollino also brought Tumer Makanni and his two men over, and with them came some very bad news.
Tanzanian officials have lost their patience and have decided to send out the army for a large-scale search.
There is so much damn laxity in the country's grassroots organizational structure that most civil servants are already extremely conscientious if they can handle one or two official duties properly every week.
They spend most of their week socializing and entertaining. There are very few conscientious officials like Detective Pollino who did not simply shirk responsibility after the FBI arrived, even in the entire country.
The Tanzanian top brass are clearly well aware of this, and it seems their only hope is the army composed of non-commissioned officers trained by the University of East Asia.
The clues collected by the wanted criminal team have not yet been synchronized with the top leaders of both sides, but even if they are synchronized, it should not be able to change this decision.
Tourism is Tanzania's main foreign exchange earner, exceeding US$1 billion per year.
In addition to the beautiful Zanzibar Island, the natural scenic spots around Arusha, such as Mount Kilimanjaro, the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, and Lake Victoria, are also world-famous.
Most ordinary people around the world's impression of Africa comes mostly from documentaries shot locally by crews including those of the Geographic Channel.
For those wealthy people who like wild animal specimens, the preferred hunting grounds are also the wildlife control areas in Tanzania.
Therefore, what the Tanzanian top leaders are most worried about is that this incident is a kidnapping of foreign tourists by domestic criminals, which will be a devastating blow to the local tourism industry.
Originally, the wanted criminals team did not feel too urgent. Handling cases in other countries is an assisting nature. Always interfering or taking over the lead can easily arouse the disgust of local police and officials.
Whether the army is dispatched for a large-scale search or the two countries issue a statement to make the case public, it will not affect their step-by-step investigation and solving of the case. It will just be a little more troublesome.
But now the facts of the case have become basically clear. The people who caused the trouble have nothing to do with the Tanzanian side, but it is these American tourists who are causing trouble and seeking their own death.
Once this news is reported to the top leaders of both sides, it will be a lot of fun. The top leaders of Tanzania may not feel anything about it, but the Americans will definitely react instantly.
The story begins in the 70s. One year a saint called "Messiah" who possessed the ability to read minds and heal people came to California.
The real name of this "Messiah" is Jim Jones. Among his followers and supporters are some well-known politicians and wealthy people, even a former vice president.
Jim Jones founded the Peoples Temple before coming to California, and over the next nearly 20 years he expanded his loyal followers to more than 1000 people.
In 1977, more and more people began to question whether the People's Temple was actually a cult. Unable to bear the harassment, Jim Jones moved to Guyana in South America with more than 1000 of his most loyal followers.
These people established their own commune in an abandoned town in Guyana and named it Jonestown, living an isolated life, which sounds pretty good.
But in fact all believers were deprived of their personal freedom, and everyone had to offer infinite worship, infinite loyalty and absolute obedience to this "Messiah".
In this isolated "paradise", Jim Jones became a true God. He could do whatever he wanted with the female believers he chose and enjoy the love from everyone.
In addition to their daily labor, believers also had to repent according to the religious rules he compiled. Female believers who had been favored by him even had to share their wonderful experiences and happy moods in public.
In order to test the loyalty of his followers, Jim Jones often organized various obedience tests and asked his followers to drink the so-called "poison wine".
Even the dumbest person will wake up one day. A large number of believers sent letters to the country through various channels asking for help. The California prosecutors who received the letters went through the routine inquiry process.
The process went from the Department of Justice to the State Department and finally to the U.S. Consulate in Guyana, and naturally nothing happened.
Just at this time, a busybody named Congressman Ryan, who sympathized with the People's Temple, jumped out and decided to personally take reporters to Guyana to refute those absurd rumors with facts.
Truth will come to light sooner or later. When the truth was finally revealed, Jim Jones' armed guards opened fire on the congressman's plane as it was leaving, killing five people and injuring 5, including the congressman and the accompanying reporters.
That night, Jim Jones once again tested the obedience of his followers, but this time the "poisoned wine" he used was made of real, highly toxic cyanide.
When the Guyanese army, which was ordered to disarm the People's Temple, arrived at Jonestown the next day, they were faced with 913 bodies, including Jim Jones himself, of which 276 were children and infants.
These children and infants were killed by their parents or others by forcing them to drink poison or directly injecting them with cyanide.
There were only four survivors of this tragedy, which was also the event with the highest death toll from non-natural disasters in American history before 4/911.
The case now before everyone is simply a replica of the Jonestown Massacre. If it is not handled properly and causes serious consequences, the news will be transmitted back to the country and will evoke painful memories among the people in minutes.
That would surely be a political storm of varying magnitude, both at home and abroad, and the first to bear the brunt would naturally be the FBI agents who were there to handle the case.
Although the Tanzanian army is said to be one of the few "elite" troops in Africa that can achieve infantry-tank coordination without crushing their own people, even Jack doesn't dare to bet on them.
At the same time, on the other side of the earth, as Hotchner and Reed deepened their investigation in Texas, more and more evidence came to light.
"Elijah's parents were a pair of religious fanatics. They had eight children in total. Elijah was the youngest of them. His brothers and sisters were named Ezekiel, Isaac, Luther, Caleb, Miriam, Rachel and Samuel."
Detective Pollino and Old Muto couldn't help but stare at each other when they heard the name Hotchner said on the phone.
"What does this mean?" asked the two locals who knew little about religion in unison.
"Including the name Elijah, they are all famous prophets in the Old Testament, which is a classic that the leaders of the Slant Church like to quote the most." Jubal gave a brief explanation.
"So what we are facing is a religious lunatic who has been brainwashed by his parents since childhood." Hannah sighed helplessly, took out the sighting route map she and Jack had drawn before from her pocket and spread it out on the table.
"Now Elijah and his psychopathic followers have taken 10 women and 1 child hostage and want to build their 'Garden of Eden' in Africa, and we need to find their camp without alerting them."
"Elijah must have planned this for a long time. Those materials should be used to build the camp. The problem is that once the army arrives, there will definitely be a big commotion."
Clay agrees with Jack that military intervention would only do harm.
Elijah was able to deceive Toomer Makanni's followers and turn them into accomplices in assisting him in kidnapping, and not long ago he ruthlessly executed his loyal deputy Jacob Bruce.
All these fully demonstrate his ability to incite and execute. It is never too much to treat such a guy with caution.
