Desert psychopath

Caral Tower is a desert town with an endless desert behind it. It is said that there used to be bandits, but now they have all been eliminated, leaving only the mysterious legend of sand bandits.

Autran Tourism Company took a fancy to this legend and developed the "Desert Scare" project. When a tour group starts from a small town and enters the desert, it will meet a group of "bandits" and be kidnapped. In five days, tourists will experience the true feelings of being kidnapped, and may even be tortured-of course, the travel agreement says that tourists will not be really injured.

The biggest selling point of this tourism project is that visitors who can complete the whole project will get a return equivalent to the tour fee 10 times! The tour fee is as high as 5000 dollars, and 10 is 50000 dollars, which is attractive enough. Of course, the premise is that you can't give up and escape. Autran is not responsible if tourists die because they leave the team.

Carol signed up. He is strong and adventurous. Accompanied by a young couple, an old businessman with a mistress, a middle-aged man with glasses, two strong white boys and a black boy, and a beautiful female tour guide Selena. They set off with camels and supplies.

On the first day, they were in high spirits and had a good trip. In order to have the most authentic experience, the communication equipment of the whole group was confiscated. Only Selena has a satellite phone and can contact the company at any time. As night fell, everyone lit a bonfire in the desert. Two white boys kept teasing Selena, but Selena ignored it and seemed more willing to chat with Carol.

Carol seized an opportunity and asked, "Has anyone ever been rewarded with 10 times the tour fee?" Selena smiled: "This is a company secret! Didn't you sign a confidentiality contract when you came? Even if you get the money, you can't say it, otherwise the company has the right to recover the bonus. " Carol said, "I heard that someone in the regiment died." Selena's face was gloomy: "Indeed, someone broke the rules and ran into the desert by himself. When we and the police search and rescue team found him, he was dehydrated and died. "

Second, the robbers were frightened.

Have a safe night. The next day, when they hurried on, they felt bored. At this time, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance, and a group of people, more than 20 people, quickly ran to the camel team. They wore black masks and scarlet AK47. The team leader waved a machete, and several big men swarmed and tied the tourists with ropes.

The tourists smiled and watched them do so. A white boy probably felt a little timid about not resisting, so he made a fancy arc with a dagger, winked at Selena and said, "I'll protect you!" " "Then waved a dagger to stop those who rushed to the front of the big fellow. The big fellow pulled out a machete, cut it with one knife, and it was fierce. The young man was startled, flashed back and almost got his face cut off. The young man cursed: "Shit, you are crazy!" "The big fellow suddenly kicked him in the leg, and the young man suddenly fell to the ground and was tied up.

Another white man quit: "What are you doing? Why did you really hit someone? I want to complain about you! " He shouted at Selena, but Selena was pale and her voice trembled: "I ... I don't know them!" " "

Robbers held tourists hostage for a long time and didn't come to a small oasis until dark. There is almost nothing here except a deep well, but there are several strong basements under the sand dunes.

As soon as she was thrown into the basement, Selena exclaimed, "Why are you here?" I found three people tied up in the house, wearing clothes similar to those of the robbers. One of the fat people said with tears: "A dozen of us played robbers and waited on the scheduled route. I didn't expect to meet these real robbers. " Selena also cried anxiously: "Why are there only three of you left?" The fat man turned pale: "They were all killed and buried under the sand dunes."

At this time, two robbers came down, took a bag and began a rough search. Several people suddenly exclaimed, men's watches, women's rings and jewels, and everyone's wallets were found.

Third, a hell on earth.

The robbers went up and everyone was in a panic. Middle-aged glasses said, "Are they really robbers?" Carol remembered: "I checked the information before I came, and there were robbers in this desert, but later * * * said that they had been eliminated ..." Selena shook her head: "That's a lie, * * * never eliminated robbers." Carol was furious: "You know there are robbers in this place, how dare you develop this kind of tourism project?" Selena cried and said, "The boss said he had made a deal with the robbers. If we pay more than $654.38 million a year, they will not rob our tour group. " _

After a while, the bandit leader took several people into the basement.

Selena summoned up her courage and said, "We are from autran Company, and the boss said that you have an agreement ..." The leader smiled coldly, "Not bad. But I got the news that there is a billionaire in this tour group, and that is another matter. After I get the ransom, I will let people go. "

Carol was relieved: "I'm just a bachelor who likes to travel, not a billionaire." Others also expressed themselves.

The leader waved. "The problem is, I haven't figured out the identity of the rich man. You can all do it. " He glanced at the black boy. "It won't be yours, black boy." The black boy sneered, "Who are you scaring?" I don't believe you are a real robber. I'm telling you, I'm content with that 50 thousand dollar. Nobody wants to rob me! "

With a gunshot, the black boy's white T-shirt looked like a red flower, and blood gurgled from his chest. He fell to the ground and was dragged away by two robbers. Only then did everyone realize what had happened, and the scene suddenly quieted down. The young man who used to hold the dagger couldn't hold it any longer and shouted, "Who has money? Tell me quickly, don't let us all die with you. " Another young man suddenly remembered something: "Didn't you say your father was a car tycoon?" And said you didn't have to work. Just for fun. The young man playing with the dagger was surprised and angry: "What did you fart? Isn't that picking up girls? "Shit, didn't you also say that you are a shareholder of Coca-Cola?" The young man argued clearly, "I just bought some shares in Coca-Cola, only $3,000! I even borrowed the money for this trip, hoping to win it back! "

The leader shook his head: "These two people won't. How can rich people be like this? " They are useless. "He waved. Two men jumped up, grabbed two white boys and pushed them out. Soon, two shots were heard outside. The leader pointed the gun at the woman in the young couple again: "It's your turn. Say, is your husband rich? The woman replied in fear, "No, we are not rich! We are here for our honeymoon, and we want to make some money by the way ... "The leader picked the corners of his mouth." There is a way to verify that a rich man will not be cuckolded for fear of losing some money. " His men rushed up, grabbed the woman and dragged her out. Her husband stood up desperately to stop her, and she was pushed to the ground. The woman's clothes were tattered and pulled out crying.

The leader looked at the old businessman again. The old businessman said in a trembling voice, "I have a shop." I'll give you whatever you want. " The leader smiled: "I don't deserve to risk the ransom for a shopkeeper." The woman you brought is good-looking, and I will take good care of her for you. "The old businessman was stunned before being pulled out, but his mistress was stunned for a long time and suddenly smiled at the leader:" Hero, I will accompany you in a moment. "I will treat you well."

Now it's just middle-aged glasses and Carol. The leader said impatiently, "Don't let me talk nonsense. Say, which one of you has money? " Middle-aged glasses raised their hands: "well, I said, I am the rich man." I'll write you a phone number. How much do you want? Make a phone call. "

"This is a British number." The leader took it and sneered: "But according to my information, that rich man is an American, and your acting skills are too poor." Middle-aged glasses finally collapsed, crying and saying, "Don't … Don't kill me, although I'm not rich, I'm willing to pay …" The leader waved his hand and the middle-aged glasses were dragged out and shot.

Now, Carol is the only tourist in the house. The leader said, "Are you the rich man?" Carol shook her head. "No, I'm not."

The team leader looked at Selena curled up on the side. "You seem to be very close to this little girl. You don't want her to get hurt, do you? " He said, and walked beside selena, pulled her up and put the gun on her head. "I count to three, and if you don't say anything, I'll kill her. One, two ... "

Carol finally collapsed: "Let her go, I am the one you are looking for." The leader smiled proudly: "Great. Tell your contact. " After Carol wrote down the contact number, the robber left the basement.

Fourth, the wordless ending.

In the middle of the night, gunfire suddenly came from outside, the door was kicked open and a group of policemen rushed in.

The robbers were surrounded. Just then, the bandit leader shouted, "Don't get me wrong, it's all fake!" " "

The police watched the robbers take off their clothes one by one and came out with their hands up. A policeman ran to Carol and saluted. "Sheriff, all their guns are fake!" " "

Carol looked at the bandit leader strangely. Now his masked towel has been removed. It's the owner of autran Company. Carol met him once when she signed the travel agreement.

Carol shouted, "search carefully. There may be bodies of victims nearby! " Another policeman came running: "No body was found, only a few tourists were found in several rooms, and nothing happened."

Carol said to the "leader", "I saw you shoot that black man with my own eyes." The boss smiled humbly: "Ron's acting skills are beyond words." He has always been our best employee. What I played was just blank ammunition filled with plasma. "

Carol was taken aback. "Is he your employee?" The boss said, "Not only he is an employee, but also the young couple. In fact, the only real tourists are you, two white boys, an old businessman and his lover. That's enough. The travel expenses for the five of you are 2 pounds. 50,000 US dollars, far higher than the income of other travel companies. "

Carol felt incredible: "Do you still want to make money? Aren't you afraid of going to jail? " The boss said, "Sorry, I can't figure out why I can't make money." We signed an agreement, and none of you stuck it out to the end. Nobody gets the bonus. "

Carol was furious: "You broke the rules first!" " "The boss shook his head." Where did we break the rules? The agreement doesn't say that there can't be actors mixed in the tour group to set off the atmosphere, nor does it say that it can't scare people. "

Carol said bitterly, "Stop acting! My real identity is the sheriff of Los Angeles. Your former guest reported that he met a robber in the desert, and the last one who persisted disappeared for no reason. The most important thing is that someone in the family has received blackmail calls, and those ransoms have been taken away! So, this time, we let the wind out in advance, saying that some rich people took part in this trip, and then I disguised myself to get in, just to collect evidence of your's crime! The number I gave you is the number of the policeman who picked me up. Do you still want to deny it? "

The boss said slowly, "you can't say that, sheriff." Yes, I made a threatening phone call to the guest's home, but it was made in front of the guest to set off the hijacking atmosphere. Besides, we didn't say how much it would cost or where to pay. How can it be blackmail? We have recorded calls here, and the police can check them! "

Carol paused and said, "Yes, you called in front of the guest and just said that he was kidnapped, but the next day, another phone call was received at home, explaining the ransom and the place where it was put, and all the money was taken!" The boss said, "In that case, the family members should call the police!" "

Carol said angrily, "Their relatives are in the hands of robbers. How dare they call the police? Someone did call the police and their money was not taken away, but only one of the four rich people chose to call the police and the other three were taken away. " The boss kept smiling. "That's the problem, sheriff." If it is a real robber, the hostage who called the police should be killed. But it's not, is it? As for those blackmail calls, do you have any proof that they were made by our company? Maybe someone else happened to know that their family hadn't come back for a long time, took the opportunity to make a phone call and made a windfall? What does this have to do with our company? "

Carol froze for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything to refute. Some people were injured, but they were all actors sent by others. The real tourists are unscathed. How can this be called a crime? The police have no choice but to stop the operation.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion

Carol went through the relevant travel formalities and went straight into the office inside. The boss saw him come in and said with a smile, "I know what you want to ask."

Carol nodded: "Although your scam is clever, what if someone really sticks to the end and you dare not really hurt him?" The boss looked around, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If it weren't for my employee, he would think he was really kidnapped and escaped, and finally he gradually became a mummy in the sand dune."

Carol's heart sank: "What if he just doesn't run away?" The boss's voice was even lower: "I helped him escape." He will be knocked unconscious and sent to the desert five kilometers away. This is the farthest one can escape in the desert. Of course, when he woke up, he could never walk back. He can only wait for death, and I just need to take the police to find his body after his death. And the agreement says: Our company is not responsible for those who mistakenly think they have been kidnapped and escaped.

Carol glared at him. "Do you think this evil activity can go on forever?" The boss answered irrelevant questions and said softly, "In fact, there are robbers in the desert, but their lives are getting more and more sad, because no one has ever walked through the desert." So the leader took them out of the desert and opened a travel company. Therefore, every tour group meets real robbers; Only when the police come will we become law-abiding travel companies. "

Carol jerked back two steps and stared at the boss. "What you said is true?" The boss smiled: "I was joking with you. Sheriff. How come... I know you must want to attend again. But I'm sorry, the travel agreement makes it very clear that this project cannot be repeated. Welcome everyone to recommend friends to visit! "

Carlo walked out of the gate in doubt, and the desert in the strong sunlight made him dizzy. He knew that he would never find any evidence. Evil happens in the sun, but it is unprovable evil.
