Chapter 1057 The Whole Story of the Somali Incident

The conference hall of the Hall of Heroes was full of laughter and laughter. The singing and singing of the vice president and Fingel made people feel that this was not a serious hearing scene, but a cross talk shop of Deyun Society. One old and one young only had to wear two coats to swing a folding fan.

King Solomon was very tough, and he was worthy of his high morals, or people who had experienced that era would think that this kind of joke was too hellish and not easy to laugh out loud. In short, he hammered the gavel impartially to maintain the order of the hearing, "Quiet!"

The laughter gradually subsided and the conference hall returned to silence. King Solomon glanced dissatisfied at the vice principal and Fingel, while the latter two looked away indifferently. Making international jokes to add to the fun is a common occurrence for them. Both of them have been specialized in the course of shameless thick black learning for a long time, and they know how to ridicule and humiliate their opponents to their heart's content without touching Solomon's bottom line.

The jury had already started whispering. After a brief discussion of about a minute or two, the hearing secretary trotted over to King Solomon and whispered something in his ear. King Solomon nodded after hearing this and looked down. Both sides said, "As to whether the investigation team's methods of controlling students were egregious or not, after discussion by the jury, the hearing committee believed that all decisions should be made based on the testimony of the parties concerned."

Fingel and the vice-principal looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. It seemed that they did not expect that this international joke played on the spot would have a follow-up. It seemed that the old guys really valued the students' "human rights", and of course they did not rule out the jury. There are indeed people here who have survived that dark history and are highly sensitive to words like "concentration camp."

In any case, this is an unexpected surprise. The college management team originally wanted to dirty up the investigation team. No matter whether it was successful or not, they would first let the other side deduct some impression points from the jury. Unexpectedly, it seems that things can be done now. article.

But just when Fingel and the vice-principal were excitedly trying to summon the person involved, Lu Mingfei, they turned around and saw an empty seat in red on the other side of the Lion Heart Club. Annoyed and depressed, where did this kid go at this critical moment? Could it be that he was really instigated by the investigation team to rebel?

"Sorry, our client seems to be late and not at the scene." Fingel raised his hands and said with regret.

King Solomon glanced at the auditorium and then at the jury. A certain tenured professor inside shook his head. When he saw it, he turned back and said, "Then the relevant discussion on this matter will end here for the time being. Wait until there is more time." We will consider reexamination when there is sufficient evidence, and now let us continue to return to the normal process. The complaining party, please provide relevant evidence for your prosecution materials."

Fingel and the vice-principal adjusted their posture slightly to prepare for the opponent's round. Now the opponent's round began. The result of their efforts for many days will depend on whether they can successfully accept the next round.

Patsy and Andrew, who were sitting behind the long table, discussed a few words in a low voice. After reaching some conclusions, Patsy sorted out the documents on the table, tidied the corners of the pages, then stood up and said, “The investigation team’s accusations against the college management team for negligence are well-founded. The most powerful evidence is that the current president of Cassel College, represented by Hilbert Jean Angers, neglected his duty to recruit dangerous bloodlines with violent tendencies into the college. "

"Violent tendencies? How does the investigation team define violent tendencies?" Fingel asked, applying his knowledge.

"I don't need to personally define and understand it, because past history will give us the answer." Passi gestured to King Solomon at the large projection screen hanging on the wall behind him.

At King Solomon's nod, the secretary took out the remote control from his arms and pointed it at the big screen and pressed it.

Screams and explosions suddenly came from the speakers surrounding the hearing room. Many students in the auditorium were slightly startled. They subconsciously tensed up and reacted in a war-like manner, but soon their attention was lost. I was attracted by the big screen in the conference hall, because what was playing inside was a real and chaotic massacre scene!

In the picture, at the head is a Somali pirate who is lying on the ground and crawling back with his hands and feet. He has dark brown skin, wearing a white dirty T-shirt, camouflage pants, and a pair of desert boots. He has a protruding eyebrow bone and a wide nose. and thick lips are both characteristic of Somalis.

Judging from his immature appearance, this young Somali pirate is probably only about 17 years old. His cheeks are stained with the blood of an unknown person, and his expression is full of fright and fear. He kicks on the ground with his hands and feet, constantly raising dust, trying to get up. He fell down again and kept looking back at his pursuers, shouting "Naxariistow".

Many students present have dabbled in a large number of languages ​​​​around the world. Many people also understand Somali, a niche Semitic language. In the context, "Naxariistow" can be understood as "spare my life" and "please forgive me", which is equivalent to Kneel down and shout "Mercy" in English when begging for mercy.

But obviously, he didn't get the mercy he wanted. When he crawled backwards, he was shot twice in the back and fell to the ground as if his spine had been taken out. Then the camera came closer, and another shot was fired into the back of his head, leaving a big hole. Blood and other viscous liquids mixed with the sand on the ground jumped up and fell down.

The Mozambican shooting method is one of the most respected killing techniques by the Executive Department. Two shots are fired at the torso and one at the head to ensure that the target is dead. Everything is just for practicality.

This video was not coded, and many people subconsciously frowned. Many elites from the executive department in the auditorium looked thoughtful and looked at the back of the boy who had been silent in the wooden grille.

The shooting angle presented in the video is a first-person perspective, and the elites of the execution department can tell at a glance that this is a picture taken by the "Personal Equipment Camera (PEC) of the execution department".

This kind of camera is widely used in the military to record the entire process of soldiers' special operations, so that the video can be recalled later for tactical summary, or used as evidence to determine whether the soldier should go to a military court when encountering some troubles.

Generally, PECs are worn on the chest like American police officers. They are usually lightweight and compact. They can also be clipped to helmets or collars to prevent loss, and are used to record combat processes and collect intelligence.

The Technology Department and the Equipment Department worked together to improve the PEC, shrinking it from a separate plug-in device into a monthly disposable contact lens, with micro sensors and micro cameras installed inside, and connected to the power supply and data processing unit through micro circuits.

When the specialist wears this kind of contact lens, micro-sensors can sense light and objects in the environment, and micro-cameras can record surrounding images and videos, achieve efficient optical and electrical conversion in a tiny space, and are highly adaptable to the curvature of the specialist's eyeballs. .

After that, the technology department even proposed a complete future prospect of this kind of contact lens, integrating emerging AR technology and connecting to Norma's computing system to provide real-time mapping of lines, analysis of various data in battle, and even enemy pistol ballistics. Estimation and infraredization functions.

"The following pictures are guaranteed to be true. They are the sealed files of the Executive Department extracted by the investigation team from the bottom layer of Norma's information database. They belong to the PEC records of the Executive Department No. 052044S. They should have been included in the file with the other PEC files, but due to some unknown reasons , these records have been individually encrypted and locked in other information partitions." Passi looked at the video that was still playing on the big screen.

This was a pure armed raid, led by the commissioner in the video. The background landed on the beach of a small island. After quickly and violently eliminating a patrol team of Somali pirates, they continued to explore deeply into the tropical rainforest.

Along the way, this professional team from the execution department quietly and efficiently removed all the hidden and open sentinels in the rainforest. It is not difficult to see that this small island has been occupied by an armed force of pirates, but under the guidance of the real professionals, In their hands, their posts and fortifications were like a joke. They stretched all the way from the shore to the station in the center of the rainforest without triggering the alarm.

The most shocking thing is the killing method of the PEC commissioner. At long distances, he usually uses subsonic bullets and a pistol with a silencer to kill. No matter how old the Somali pirate he faced was, he would never hesitate to pull the trigger.

After going deep into the rainforest, the complex environment was more suitable for assassination operations, which was also in line with the commissioner's offensive skills. He chose to use a German-made FKM tactical dagger as a weapon, holding the knife in his backhand. The most eye-catching thing is that in his Every time he attacks, the picture recorded by PEC will "skip frames" as if there is an error!

In the PEC footage, one second a pirate wearing a red hat and camouflage uniform was relieving himself under a mangrove tree twenty meters away from the video shooting point. The next second, the frame was broken, and a body's neck and back were shown in the video. The bleeding corpse lay quietly beside the tree, with a comfortable expression on his facial features and his eyes open naturally.

Everyone was horrified by this method of killing, and many people opened their eyes wide because they realized that this was a rare material that could only be seen with rare opportunities - the true combat record of a user of the Speedy Word Spirit.

Unbelievable assassination techniques like this are everywhere in PEC's records. When the enemy is found, there are no other observation points around, the screen breaks, and then the enemy has become a corpse. PEC can't even record the killing process. The whole process only involves discovering the enemy, and then the enemy becomes a hot corpse.

The armed squad entered the garrison area easily. Five tear gas canisters and several shock bombs were fired to announce the beginning of the final cleansing. In the smoke, the flickering of broken frames began to become more frequent, and they no longer insisted on assassinating with short weapons. , the pistol with subsonic bullets was also replaced by a large-caliber revolver.

Amidst a series of curses and shouts, roars in the local language continued to be heard from the temporary living area built with straw huts. Many Somali pirates rushed out bare-chested carrying SAR80s and modified versions of AK-47 assault rifles. But none of them had a chance to fire. After the frame was broken, the head had been blown away by a large-caliber revolver, and a sharp and deadly dagger was stuck in the heart. There is no process of killing, only the result of killing. There are only corpses everywhere where PEC walks. The difference is just the way of death.

The most horrifying thing is that in the picture, you can also see boy scouts wearing berets and only camouflage pants emerging from the hayloft. Their faces are painted with camouflage and they carry guns in extremely irregular ways. The oldest ones are no more than 14 years old, the youngest was even 9 years old. However, their results were no different from other corpses.

In the entire pirate camp, not a single person was left alive, and all were silenced.

Many people were sweating behind their backs. The elderly members of the jury carefully watched every detail in the video with almost hairy eyes, and discussed in low voices from time to time.

Patsy turned her head and looked up at the screen. Andrew folded his hands and looked directly at the boy behind the grille. Fingel and the vice-principal both watched the video solemnly and discussed in a low voice the key points that need to be paid attention to when speaking.

Only the real victim, the person who caused the murder in the video, the PEC record commissioner, Lin Nian, was watching everything in the video with an expressionless face, neither protesting nor arguing, just watching it happen silently.

At the end of the video, the big screen freezes. Whether intentionally or not, the scene freezes exactly as a hand pulls out a dagger from the back of a boy scout's head. King Solomon frowned and looked at the secretary, who quickly turned off the big screen.

There was a long silence in the conference hall, no one spoke, only each other's breathing could be heard.

Patsy thought that was enough. He raised his head and looked directly at Lin Nian in the grille, but he spoke to Fingel beside him, "I think this video provides an accurate definition of 'violent tendency'."

"Objection." Fingel said, looking at King Solomon, "As far as I know, the PEC record is a confidential mission assigned by the Executive Department. In this mission, the commissioner allowed the use of all violent means to achieve the goal. I only saw A soldier who faithfully completes his mission, no matter how ruthless it may be."

"Objection." Passi said calmly, "This PEC record comes from the mission report numbered HD-SO-038. According to the execution department's records, the original intention of this mission was to recapture the pirate ship salvaged from the shallow sea by the Somali pirates. High-risk alchemical items. The video we are seeing now is the subsequent development after the target was successfully recaptured. Lin Nian, the temporary commissioner of PEC, after the task was completed, used his own will to forcefully land on the pirate island by tugboat. A series of massacres were carried out.”

"Objection," Fingal said.

"The objection is invalid." King Solomon spoke, and he looked at Lin Nian behind the grille, "The person on trial, Lin Nian, did this PEC record video occur after the mission goal was completed? You can only answer yes or no."

"Yes." Lin Nian said.

"Are you the person who recorded the PEC video? Do you know that this operation will be recorded? You can only answer yes or no."

Fingel's eyebrows twitched, and he wanted to reach out to pull the corner of Lin Nian's clothes to remind him not to speak so directly. This was completely different from what they had agreed before. But before he could move, he noticed that the vice principal beside him winked at him and told him not to move. Fingel then noticed that Andrew at the opposite table was looking at them leisurely, as if expecting them to get into trouble.

"Yes." Lin Nian said.

"Okay. Did the massacre in the PEC record video happen due to your personal wishes? That is, you knew before the action that this action was not a mission of the Executive Department, nor was it an official mission initiated by the government. It was purely of a nature. private illegal actions, and you are still willing to take responsibility for them? You can only answer yes or no."

Fingel couldn't stand it and just wanted to stop Lin Nian from answering. He didn't know what was wrong with Lin Nian. He had clearly said that he should protest at this time, and then deflected such a sharp topic and solved it in a clever way, but Lin Nian was stunned and took it head-on.

Just when Lin Nian was about to answer and Fingel was about to stop him, a third person was faster than them and shouted loudly, "Objection! (Protest)"

King Solomon paused and looked to his right. The door on the side of the hearing room was pushed open, and people who shouted in protest strode out from inside.

She was a tall woman with dark brown skin, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and her head was covered with braids dyed light gold. She did not follow the rules and attended the hearing in formal attire. She was wearing a distinctive ethnic costume, a pop-style plaid cloth, and a dazzling array of beaded jewelry on her neck and arms, all of which had strong tribal elements.

Students with high scores in the multicultural class recognized the style of the Maasai nation. This woman should be a Maasai, and their country should be thousands of miles away in Tanzania. Why did she appear at the hearing in the United States?

"I protest." The Marseille woman walked into the conference hall from behind the door. There was no security guard to question her, because everyone who walked out of that door had only one identity, that of a witness.

"Lady, what is your protest?" King Solomon asked.

Ms. Marseille walked into the hearing, first bowed slightly to King Solomon to show respect, and then followed the same etiquette as the jury. Then she looked at Lin Nian behind the wooden grille. With the palms of her hands facing her forehead, she slowly He put his hands together and bowed to the boy very reverently and gratefully.

After finishing everything, the Maasai lady walked slowly to the open space under the high platform, accepted the sights from all directions, and spoke smoothly with her strong Somali accent but trying her best to speak clear English. ,

"Good afternoon, arbitrator, jury, and audience, my name is Naserian, I am from Tanzania and I am a witness and participant in the incident in the video.

Here, I protest that the accusations made by the investigation team are untrue. The picture shown in the video is not that of my savior, Mr. Richard (Lin Nian’s official English name is Richard). (At this point, she turned to look at Gerard.) Lin Nian, who was behind the gate, nodded again and said: "It's your fault!" "

"Please state your testimony, lady, you have plenty of time." King Solomon respected this tribal lady who was not even proficient in English.

Lady Nasserian expressed her gratitude to King Solomon, then closed her eyes to calm down, and when she opened them again she said, "This is all my fault!"

Fingel leaned back slightly, and the vice-principal touched his chin with his right hand to show his expression. The jury continued to discuss in whispers as usual, and the student group in the auditorium was slightly commotion.

Only Lin Nian behind the grille sighed silently.

"Our tribe, our nation, are in dire straits. The pirates bred in the Somali Sea are terrifying and despicable. They attack our ships, plunder our wealth, and murder our compatriots. Take Abdulrahman The pirate group headed by (Abdulrahman) has controlled our freedom and security for many years. Our men have been enslaved and our women have been humiliated. I cannot describe even one thousandth of the atrocities they have committed against us in my poor words. ." Ms. Nasserian said,

"It was an accident of fate. Mr. Richard rescued me from the slave ship. He and his friends killed the pirates on those ships and saved the entire slave ship without charging us anything in return. They also thoughtfully provided us with clean water and food. I will never forget that when the women on our boat were desperate, Mr. Richard pushed open the iron door and told us that we were safe and we were free! "

Someone in the student body clapped, and the applause filled the chamber, a tribute to what was right and a recognition of what Kassel College has always done and what the executive department has always done.

When the applause fell, the Marseille woman continued, "I thought I would die in the hands of those pirates like my children and husband, but I am a woman, and maybe my situation will be worse. I have done Everything was prepared. But in order to prevent us women from committing suicide, the pirates deliberately told us that maybe our family members had been absorbed into the pirate group and were living on their island, in order to deceive us into gaining their trust. But I I know this is a lie! Our final destination must be 'Paradise Lost'!"

"Abdurrahman, the leader of that group of pirates, is the most vicious and twisted monster I know. He enjoys abusing women and torturing men. He was exposed and hanged on a raft at sea for many disobediences. The people he rules over.

The pirate island he governs is regarded by him as a 'lost paradise'. All women who land on the island will be reduced to livestock without dignity and made into cruel human beings for them to play and sell in various extreme ways. Men will be locked in wooden cages in trees to starve to death, and thrown into pits to fight wild beasts." Ms. Marseille's eyes filled with tears when she said this, and she covered her mouth and nose. "My daughter, my husband is... He disappeared on that small island."

"After Mr. Richard killed the pirates on the slave ship, I realized his power and justice. My countrymen and I knelt down and begged him to help us burn the island. We would save our families from the disaster. We told him one by one that even though his companions were strongly opposed to helping us, Mr. Richard still chose to lend a helping hand to us and solve that hell from the source."

"He killed the children with cold-blooded cruelty." Andrew interjected, and he slightly tilted his head to look at Ms. Nasserian, "Although those children were all Boy Scouts, they were still underage poor children, and yours A child as old as a daughter.”

"Sir, have you ever thought that these children, even younger than my daughter, wantonly played dirty tricks on my daughter and finally killed my daughter? Then who can punish these dehumanized demons? ? God?" Naselian stared at Andrew, "God will not see these atrocities, that is Paradise Lost! God never sets his sights on Paradise Lost! Only angels walking on earth will hear us in suffering The whine!"

"If Mr. Richard's actions will lead to evil, then I am willing to bear all the consequences. This is a merciless request from a woman who lost her daughter and husband. Mr. Richard responded to this poor woman's request, and this woman was willing to do it for him." Give back everything." The woman's voice was sonorous and powerful, and her red eyes were full of tears.

Ms. Nasserian's speech has made the matter clear. The whole story is that the special team of the Executive Department rescued a group of abducted slaves while disposing of a pirate slave ship that had salvaged dangerous alchemical items. This group of women knelt down to the special team and begged them to kill the unscrupulous pirate leader.

The special team that should have ignored it and withdrawn from the matter happened to have a strong-armed, very young, talkative but passionate young man in it. This young man couldn't get used to seeing these young people who even smashed their heads and hugged him. The woman who begged for her legs met with misery, so he drove a tugboat to the island called "Lost Paradise". After discussion, his teammates also chose to follow him.

The island was indeed as full of pain and disaster as the legend said, so the young man took action, burned the entire island with fire, cut off the owner of the island's ten fingers to three, and finally took the revolver The pipe was stuffed into the other person's mouth and fired.

The investigation team accused Lin Nian, the interrogator, of massacring the entire island out of his own will. This accusation would lead people to misunderstand that the commissioner was violent and was not satisfied with limited killings, and forcibly spread his bloody desire to the entire pirate group. But now someone stood up and was willing to explain to Lin Nian that all this happened because a group of vulnerable groups knelt down and begged. Therefore, Lin Nian decided to take such a trip based on his "personal will."

So, in this case, should the so-called "personal will" still be clarified as "personal will"?

All eyes were on the jury, and King Solomon expected a reasonable explanation.
