Chapter 174 CIA
The scale of Cairo International Airport is very large, but there are very few staff members. It took a long time for the three of them to pass the customs smoothly and meet the driver of the hotel.

"Wow!"

As soon as they walked out of the airport, several people were immediately given off by the oncoming heat wave.

"It must be more than 40 degrees." Qu Yanqiu held his palms in front of his forehead, trying to resist the ubiquitous heat radiation.

"Fifty degrees," said the driver in the robe.

"what?"

"I said, the highest temperature today is 50 degrees." The driver said loudly. "In direct sunlight, the temperature will be higher."

"50 degrees?"

Both Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu were stunned. "Is this still Earth?"

"Yes. Welcome to Egypt in summer." The driver smiled. "Generally speaking, very few tourists will come to Cairo from June to August because the weather is too hot and the wind and sand are raging. I didn't expect that you would pick such a time to come."

"Really? We don't know."

"It's okay, it's good to come at this time." The driver pulled away the Opel car and motioned everyone to get in the car quickly. "There are no tourists in the Great Pyramid now, you can take your time."

"Walk slowly or dry slowly?" A group of people complained while getting into the car.

After getting into the car, they were blown by the air conditioner for a long time, and the people who were almost scorched were able to recover a little bit of energy.

"Why are so many houses unfinished? Is it unfinished?"

Qu Yanqiu pointed out the window curiously.Many old houses on the side of the road have no roofs. They stand bare with reinforced concrete, and the outer walls are not painted.

"not like this"

The driver explained while driving.

There are several reasons for the large number of unfinished houses in Cairo.The first one is that the Egyptians are relatively poor. If they have money, they will build some houses.A house may even be built for several generations.

Second, Egyptians don't care about the appearance of their houses at all.The yellow paint that Chen Quan and others saw from the plane is actually the true color of the wind and sand.

The most important reason is that the Egyptian government collects city construction tax on the completed buildings. Starting from pragmatism, in order to avoid taxes, the Egyptians simply save the construction of the roof.As long as the house is not completed, there is no need to pay taxes.Anyway, it rarely rains in Egypt, so there is no fear of rain leakage.

"Okay. The Egyptians are really shameless."

The three Chinese people have learned a lot after hearing such anecdotes.

Under the blazing sun, the Opel car walked through the streets and alleys, and soon drove into the urban area.

"Does this scarf look good?"

Qu Yanqiu was picking and choosing in a shop.

After getting off the plane, Qu Yanqiu noticed that most of the local women in Egypt wore headscarves.After all, Egypt is a religious country.In addition to religion, there are also hot weather and sandstorms in the sky. Arab women wear scarves, which is also a custom developed from a practical point of view.

So when they saw a store selling scarves, everyone called the driver to stop, shop and rest.

"That's right. After wearing the scarf, you can't tell that you are Chinese at all." Chen Quan joked.

"Is that not pretty?"

Qu Yanqiu curled her lips, ready to change into another scarf.

"I think this scarf is good." Speaking fluent American English, she walked in from the door of the store. "Welcome to Egypt."

"Inspector Walter?"

Several people turned around, and it was the FBI captain who had dealt with in Chicago.walter smith.

"FBI?"

Wang Qing was surprised by Walter's appearance. "Aren't you only in charge of domestic business in the Americas?"

"I'm the CIA now."

Walter, who had already put on a gray jacket, stretched out his right hand to Wang Qing who was blocking the road.Then he turned his head to a Chinese colleague beside him. "This is my new partner, James Wong. Your fellow man."

"How did you know we were coming?"

Wang Qing held the FBI in front of him, who had only met once in the hospital.

Walter didn't answer directly, but looked at Wang Qing. "You need our help."

"What help do you need?" Chen Quan heard the words and came over.

"Visiting the interior of the Pyramid of Khufu, without our help, you can't get in!"

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is an important symbol of Egypt to attract tourists.But in the early 90s, the interior of the Khufu Pyramid was not open to ordinary tourists.If you want to enter the internal passage of the pyramid, you need to apply separately and explain the reason for entering, such as shooting, archaeology, etc.

"Is this helping, or intimidating?"

Wang Qing increased his strength.

"It's up to you." Walter shrugged his shoulders, pulled his hand out, and put on a smiling face, facing Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu. "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Wang Qing didn't give a good face to this group of "friends" from America. "Ignore them, let's go."

"Will we have problems with our application?"

After getting in the car, Qu Yanqiu asked worriedly.

Applications to visit the interior of the Great Pyramid are submitted through the embassy.

"will not."

Wang Qing is full of confidence. "For the sake of tourism, Egypt is still very active in promoting the Great Pyramid. Generally speaking, there is no problem with this kind of application."

"Something went wrong." The next day, Chen Quan and the others got up very late, but they received bad news as soon as they arrived at the restaurant. "Our application was rejected."

"What's the reason?"

"There is no reason, that is, our application does not meet their approval conditions."

I got the bad news that even the buffet with unique Egyptian characteristics could not arouse everyone's appetite.

Qu Yanqiu's mouth almost pouted. "We've been flying for so long! It's not that we've booked a ticket, who wants to come to Egypt at this time?"

"Isn't my name mentioned on the application?"

Chen Quan felt that the matter was incomprehensible.

With Chen Quan's current fame, no museum would dare to reject his application, not to mention the Great Pyramid, whose main selling point is tourism.

"I wrote it. How dare I not write it."

Wang Qing didn't eat any rice at all, and ran away with his bag. "I'll ask someone to ask."

Egypt is located in a key point. After the Egyptian civilization disappeared completely, it was conquered by many civilizations successively, such as Greek culture, Roman culture, Arabic culture, etc., integrating multiple ancient civilizations.In addition, it has a long history, so it is full of historic sites.Even if you don't go to the Great Pyramid, just the urban area of ​​Egypt can meet the curiosity needs of ordinary tourists.

It's a pity that Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu are not ordinary tourists, especially there is a group of all-seeing eye assassins who don't know their identity, so the two of them slept in the hotel for almost a whole day, which can be regarded as a time difference. upside down.

"How about it?"

At dinner, the three met again in the restaurant.

"No. I asked someone about it. It's a simple matter. It's not easy to handle after the Americans intervene."

Wang Qing shook his head. "However, the interior cannot be entered. There are no restrictions around the pyramid, and ordinary tourists can go. We can go and see it tomorrow."

"That's all it takes."

Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"What a coincidence, we met again."

Familiar American English sounded from behind the three of them again.

"Coincidence is really a coincidence. But you did it on purpose!"

Wang Qing didn't give the other party a good face.

Walt and his Chinese partner pulled up a chair without any notice, and sat down directly. "We did this to protect you. It's not like you don't know that Chen Quan is the target of some kind of power. Here, we, and only we, can protect you."

"Are you threatening that one again?"

"Whether it's a threat, you know it in your heart. Speaking of it, I don't want to participate in your affairs." Walt's face was sincere. "But some forces hope that we will come forward, at least to clear their suspicions."

"I won't believe a word you say."

"Believe it or not, and it doesn't matter whether you are willing to cooperate or not. We will act together with you in the future." Walt looked indifferent. "Menu! Order!"

"You guys are coercing. Is this already against the law?"

Qu Yanqiu asked with some uncertainty.

"Oh, if you don't want to, let's go to the side to eat."

Walter's attitude towards the ladies was noticeably better.He stands up and prepares to change tables.

"Wait a minute, can you handle the application for the inspection inside the pyramid?"

Chen Quan suddenly made a sound.

For this trip to Egypt, Chen Quan has no idea, and no one can tell whether he will encounter any danger.In addition, for this trip, Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu did not expect much.

If they walk around and get nothing in the end, Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu are ready to enjoy the last few years of their lives.

Ever since they became sensible, their entire lives and studies revolved around perfect competition.Chen Quan was either in the game or on the way to prepare for the game.

If the CIA is willing to send people to participate, then follow along.At least for now, the interests of both parties are aligned.

In addition, the power of the CIA has been the same for a while after the CCCP collapsed completely, which is far from what China, which pursues the policy of keeping a low profile, can provide.

"Oh? Of course!"

Walter turned and sat back.

"Okay then, welcome to join us."

Chen Quan offered to extend his hand. "Join our adventure team!"
-
In order to avoid the high temperature during the day, after adjusting and resting for a day, early in the morning, before dawn, the expanded expedition team of 5 people set off in a 7-seater MPV.

In front of the MPV, there is also a pilot car provided by the local police.

It has to be said that the influence of the United States in Egypt is indeed extraordinary.
