Chapter 388 Red light!
When Yang Jing heard Morris's speech erroneously, he became even more interested.
Seeing that the temporary boss was about to transform into a gossip man, even his old friend Clark McCann came over, Kevin Martin finally sighed helplessly.
If it were Yang Jing alone, Kevin Martin would have made excuses, but Clark McCann also wanted to hear that Kevin Martin would not be able to refuse. Back then, Kevin Martin and Clark McCann served in the same army, and Clark McCann saved Kevin Martin more than once. This time, Yang Jing came to Algeria, and it was Kevin Martin contacted by Clark McCann, which led to the eight-man mercenary team of Morris and others.
In addition, there was no confidentiality requirement for this matter. Clark McCann wanted to know about that matter more than once on the phone, but Kevin Martin did not explain it in detail to his old friend, so he simply said it together this time.
"Actually, you can guess the matter. I was arranged by the CIA to Algeria. The main target I was responsible for is Gaddafi's fifth son Mutahim."
"Mutahim? Is Mutahim who is most likely to become Gaddafi's successor?" Yang Jing asked.
"That's right, that guy. Although he is Gaddafi's fifth son, his power is the greatest among all of Gaddafi's sons. Gaddafi himself is very optimistic about him. Therefore, although Gaddafi did not specify who the successor was, everyone knew that Mutahim was the second-ranked second in Libya after Gaddafi. I was "careful" Mutahim with three colleagues at that time and collected all the information about Mutahim. This was my mission in Tripoli at that time."
Kevin Martin took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath, "In 2011, the civil war in Libya broke out, and the whole of Libya was in chaos. At this time, I learned through the informant that Mutahim's trusted adjutant, a man named Somiha Salim, was suddenly sent by Mutahim to perform a top-secret mission. No one knows what the mission is, but when the front line is tight, Mutahim also sent his most trusted subordinates out, which is definitely a very important mission. Later, we analyzed that Somiha Salim is likely to have hidden or transferred wealth for Mutahim. Among them, there is the possibility of hiding wealth. Unfortunately, we paid attention to this guy a little late, and we don't know where this guy went."
"At this time, another informant provided information that a woman who was very close to Somiha Salim should actually be his lover. She went to Gudamis, a border city in western Libya two days ago, so I hurried to Gudamis, the city we are now."
"I was wearing makeup and became a natural science researcher and lived there..." Kevin Martin pointed to the south, "We just had lunch there."
"At that time, there was a mess around near Tripoli, but it was not affected at all, and the town was still very quiet. After staying in the hotel for a few days, I rented a house with my colleagues who came. The reason we used was to inspect the groundwater resources here. Look, the room we rented was there." Yang Jing looked in the direction Kevin Martin pointed, and indeed saw a house connected to other houses.
"We discovered Somiha Salim's lover. The woman had been living in a luxurious villa. After inquiring, we found out that Somiha Salim's ancestral home was here. After he became an adjutant of Mutahim, his family became a wealthy family here. And many people said that Somiha Salim did stay at home with a team of soldiers and a military truck a few days ago, but then he entered the desert to the east and never came back."
Clark McCann said: "Kevin, the guy you mentioned must have gone to treasure, I can guarantee it."
Kevin Martin nodded at Clark McCann and said, "Clark guessed right. That guy did take people into the desert to hide treasures, but we didn't know where they were. For this reason, we made a plan to kidnap this guy and then force him to find out where he was hiding his treasures."
"This plan was well formulated, and when Somiha Salim returned from the desert with his men, we also found a suitable opportunity to arrest this guy. The man was also caught at that time. Unfortunately, during the retreat, we encountered a large number of militants. Later we learned that this was the troops of Haftar, the initiator of the Libyan civil war."
"It is probably Haftar's people who also learned about Somiha Salim's treasure hiding, so they followed it to Gudamis. Our vehicle was intercepted by this group of militants. In desperation, we had to retreat back to Gudamis and exchange fire with Haftar's people. Somiha Salim was killed by stray bullets in the battle. Haftar's people chased us and entered Gudamis."
Yang Jing knew that Haftar was a close comrade-in-arms of Gaddafi and was once the chief of staff of the Libyan army. Later, in the war between Libya and Chad, he was defeated and captured, and since then he hated Gaddafi. Later, with the help of the United States, he settled in the United States. When the Libyan civil war broke out, he returned to Libya from the United States and became the supreme leader of the opposition, and eventually overthrew Gaddafi and became the most powerful person in Libya.
"My colleague was hit by a bullet in the leg artery during the battle and could not be saved. I could only hide in the old town of Gudames. Fortunately, my lies and a large amount of dollars touched my landlord who rented a house. He hid me in the cellar of his house, and I escaped by chance. Because Haftar's people occupied Gudames, our people could not accept me at all, and in the end I was abandoned as an abandoned son. Fortunately, I was very lucky, and Carl rescued me..."
Kevin Martin shrugged his shoulders and bounced his cigarette butt out, "This is my experience in this city, and it is also my nightmare for the rest of my life..."
Clark McCann asked excitedly: "When Carl saves you, why don't you ask the CIA people for an explanation?"
Kevin Martin smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It's useless. Once we do field work, we will never be able to go back. Besides, I think I'm living a good life now, why do I go back? Do you still have to serve those officials?"
Clark McCann was asked nothing to say.
Yang Jing asked, "That is to say, you almost lost your life and your job, and in the end you didn't get the exact location where the treasures were hidden?"
Kevin Martin nodded, "There is no way. Many times things are not controlled by our personal will. If the people of Haftar came twenty minutes late, we would be sure to bring Somiha Salim out safely, and the whereabouts of those treasures would have been. Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world."
After a pause, Kevin Martin pointed to the southeast and said, "But one thing is certain, the place where Somiha Salim hides his treasure should be in that direction, and it should not be far from Gudames. Unfortunately, there is a desert there, so it is impossible to find it."
"Can't find it?" Yang Jing asked himself in his heart, then shook his head slightly, "Have you had enough rest? If you have enough rest, let's go out for a walk? I want to see the 'Eye of Durban' and 'Eye of Ciallia'. I have never seen a lake in the desert."
A group of people stood up and surrounded Yang Jing and walked towards the parking spot. They met some local people on the way, and they all avoided them from afar.
He drove out of the city and drove east along the road from Gudamis to Delaiji. After about ten kilometers out of the city, Yang Jing saw a very high sand dune standing in the sea of sand.
"Chris, drive over and take a look. I've never seen such a high dune."
Chris said a few words to the walkie-talkie, and the leading car turned off the highway and drove towards the sand dune about one kilometer away from the highway.
The convoy soon stopped under this "sand dune". When he got closer, Yang Jing realized that he had read it wrong. This was not a sand dune. To be precise, it was a small hill with very severe sandification.
Kevin Martin and Yang Jing sat in the same car and said, "BOSS, this hill is the highest hill near Gudames. We came a little early. If you wait a few more hours, you can enjoy the sunset here, and the scenery is very spectacular."
Yang Jing nodded, "Let's go up and take a look. Even if you can't appreciate the sunset, you can still look down at this surrounding area."
At this time, there were rare clouds in the sky, which made the sunlight less intense, but even so, the temperature here was more than 40 degrees. Fortunately, the hill was not very high, only about one hundred meters, and it took Yang Jing less than ten minutes to climb up.
Of course, sweating is inevitable.
It is indeed a mountain climb to see the distance. Standing at such a height and looking out from a distance, you can see dozens of kilometers.
Yang Jing pointed to the east and asked, "It's Gudames Airport?"
"Well, that's the airport. About fifteen kilometers northeast of the airport is Durban Eye Lake." Kevin Martin pointed to the dry river below the hill and said, "This is the Tynarut River. The end point leads to the area where Durban Eye Lake is located, and the starting point is Hamra Mountain there. Look, you can see Hamra Mountain. It's about twenty-five kilometers away from here."
Yang Jing looked into the distance in the direction pointed by Kevin Martin, and he could indeed vaguely see a intermittent mountain, but it was not very high.
Seeing this intermittent mountain range, Yang Jing almost subconsciously used the "Sky Eye" skill. Then, he vaguely saw a red light emerging from the mountain range...
