Chapter 1055 Things are about to get big

With his butt, Jack could think of what Elijah said after he brought the deceived women to their destination. It was nothing more than "You have withstood the test of God" and so on.

Twenty-two people, excluding Elijah and the 7-year-old boy Nicholas, there are exactly 10 men and 10 women who were deceived. The calculations made by these bastards are simply shocking.

Before dark, the wanted criminal team regrouped in Arusha. Detective Bolino also brought Toomer Makani and two of his men over and arrived with them. There is also extremely bad news.

Tanzania officials have lost patience and have decided to dispatch the army to conduct a large-scale search.

There is a damn sense of slack in the country's grassroots organizational structure. Most civil servants can handle one or two official duties every week, which is already an extremely conscientious performance.

They spend most of their time socializing and entertaining during the week. Conscientious officers like Detective Bolino who did not directly take responsibility after the FBI arrived are rare even in the country. .

Tanzania’s top leaders are obviously well aware of this, and their only hope seems to be the army composed of non-commissioned officers trained by the University of Tokyo.

The clues collected by the wanted criminal team have not yet been synchronized to the top management of both parties, but even if they are synchronized, it should not be able to change this decision.

Tourism is Tanzania’s main source of foreign exchange earnings, exceeding one billion US dollars annually.

In addition to the beautiful Zanzibar Island, natural scenic spots such as Mount Kilimanjaro, the Great Rift Valley, and Lake Victoria around Arusha are also world-famous.

Most ordinary people around the world’s impressions of Africa come from documentaries filmed there by film crews including the Geo Channel.

For those wealthy people who like taxidermied beasts, the preferred hunting places are also the wildlife control areas in Tanzania.

Therefore, what Tanzania’s 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 Criminal Team didn't really feel too urgent. Handling cases in other countries is inherently assistive. Always gesticulating or being overly preoccupied can easily arouse the resentment of the local police and officials.

Whether it is dispatching the army to conduct a large-scale search or the two countries issuing statements to disclose the case, it will not affect their step-by-step investigation and solving of the case. It is just more troublesome.

But now the facts of the case are basically clear. The perpetrators have nothing to do with the Tanzanian side, but these American tourists who are torturing Xiejiao to death.

Once this news is reported to the top management of both sides, it will be a lot of fun. The top management of Tanzania may not feel much about this, but the United States and Laos will definitely react instantly.

The story begins in the 1970s. One year, a saint "Messiah" with mind-reading and healing skills came to California.

The real name of this "Messiah" is Jim Jones, and among his followers and supporters there are many well-known political figures and wealthy people, including a former vice president.

Jim Jones founded the "People's Temple" before coming to California, and in the next nearly 20 years, he expanded the number of his loyal followers to more than 1,000 people.

When the time came to 1977, there were more and more voices questioning that the "People's Temple" was essentially a cult. Jim Jones, who was "unbearable to be disturbed", took more than 1,000 of his most loyal followers with him. Relocated to Guyana, South America.

These people established their own commune in an abandoned town in Guyana and named it Jonestown. They lived an isolated life, which sounded pretty good.

But in fact all believers have been deprived of personal freedom, and everyone must offer unlimited worship, unlimited loyalty and absolute obedience to this "Messiah".

In this isolated "heaven", Jim Jones has become God in the true sense. He can have sex and do whatever he wants with the female believers he chooses, and enjoy the love and support of everyone.

In addition to their daily work, believers also have to repent according to the canons written by him. Female believers who have been blessed even have to share their wonderful experiences and happiness in public.

In order to test the loyalty of believers, Jim Jones often organized various obedience tests, asking believers to drink the so-called "poisonous wine". No matter how stupid a person is, there will be a day when he wakes up. A large number of believers sent letters to the country through various channels asking for help. The California prosecutor who received the letters went through the usual questioning process.

This process went from the Ministry of Justice to the State Department, and finally to the U.S. Consulate in Guyana, and naturally nothing happened.

At this moment, Congressman Ryan, a busybody who sympathized with the People's Temple, decided to personally take reporters to Guyana to refute those baseless rumors with facts. .

Paper cannot cover the fire. When all the truth was finally revealed, Jim Jones's armed guards opened fire directly on the congressman's plane as it was leaving, killing 5 people and injuring 12 people, including the congressman and the accompanying reporter.

That night, Jim Jones once again conducted an obedience test on his followers, but this time the "poison wine" used was filled with 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 corpses, including Jim Jones himself. 276 of them are children and infants.

These children and infants were killed by their parents and others by drinking poisoned wine or directly using cyanide injections.

There were only 4 survivors of this tragedy. Before 9/11, this was the largest death toll caused by an unnatural disaster in the history of the United States before 9/11.

The case now before everyone's eyes is simply a replica of the Jonestown tragedy. Once it is not handled properly and leads to serious consequences, the news will be brought back to the country and it will evoke the painful memories of the people every minute.

It will definitely be a big or small political turmoil, whether at home or abroad, and the first ones to bear the brunt will naturally be the FBI who are handling the case.

Although the Tanzanian army is said to be one of the few "elite" troops in Africa who can coordinate infantry and tanks without crushing their own people, even Jack does not dare to bet on them.

At the same time, on the other side of the world, as Hotchner and Reid's investigation in Texas deepened, more and more evidence was put in front of everyone.

“Elijah’s parents were a pair of religious paranoiacs who gave birth to a total of 8 children. Elijah was the youngest of them. His brothers and sisters were named Ezekiel, Isaac, and Luther. , Caleb, Miriam, Rachel and Samuel”

Detective Bolino and Old Muto couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard a personal name spoken by Hotchner on the phone.

“What does this mean?” Two locals who had little understanding of religion said in unison.

"Including the name Elijah, they are all prophetic names in the Old Testament. It is a classic that the leaders of the cult like to quote." Jubal gave a rough 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 psychotic followers are holding 10 women and 1 child hostage to build their 'Garden of Eden' in Africa, and we need to find their camp without alerting them .”

"Elijah must have been planning for a long time. Those materials should be needed to build the camp. The problem is that once the army arrives, there will definitely be a big noise."

Clay and Jack's thoughts All in all, military intervention would be bad.

Elijah was able to seduce Toomer Makani's followers and turn them into accomplices who helped him carry out kidnappings. Not long ago, he mercilessly executed his loyal deputy Jacob Bruce.

These fully prove his ability to incite and execute. No matter how careful you are with such a guy, you can't treat him too carefully.
