Chapter 534 (1/2)
The New York Times reporters waiting in Naples didn't wait long, and the grain was soon reloaded onto a smaller freighter. The reporters wanted to get close to the sailors on these ships to find out the details, where they came from and where they were going to transport these things. It's a pity that these people are indifferent to her questions. It's not that the charm of female journalists is not enough, but that these people seem to be particularly vigilant to outsiders.
Many of the metal blocks unloaded from the ship are white flowers. After inquiry, the reporter learned that this is aluminum ingot, which is a primary industrial raw material made of aluminum after electrolysis. These aluminum ingots also did not wait long on the wharf. They were soon loaded onto several Suez class freighters, which seemed to pass through the Suez Canal.
There are only so many female journalists can master on the dock. These new ships belong to a Turkish shipping company, which is not open to ordinary tourists. Therefore, the reporter can not continue to trace them by boat, and the clue can only be interrupted here.
The intern female reporters of the New York Times could not do much for the next investigation. They sorted out the information they had and sent it to the newspaper and Zoe, who was far away in Somalia. Zoe saw these materials and immediately left Somalia to fly to Turkey and Istanbul.
Zoe has some connections in Turkey. He has a fellow university journalist who works as a foreign correspondent for the Turkish branch of the associated press. When Zoe found him, he joined the food smuggling investigation without saying a word.
With the help of friends, Zoe soon found the specific information of the shipping company in the ship registration files of Turkish maritime department. Zoe's friend gasped when he saw the owner of the freight company.
”What's the matter? What do you find? ” Zoe didn't understand Turkish, so he had to rely on his friends to translate for him.
”The owner of this company is Abdel ketley. This guy is very famous in Istanbul. He is an important member of the local Mafia! And he has a deep background, and they have an extraordinary relationship with the Turkish military! ” Zoe's friend whispered in Zoe's ear.
”I guessed that every organization is not simple! So we have no way to trace down? ” Zoe asked, pretending to be lost.
”Why, I must have a way! However, Zoe, since you have found me in this matter, can I also participate in it! I think your clue must be big news. Maybe this year's Pulitzer Prize will be better... ”Zoe's friend said with a smile. He could see the value behind this. He didn't want to miss an opportunity to become famous.
”OK, I agree, but I want to be the first signer for all the reports about this news. That's my rule!” Zoe also said impolitely.
”Deal!” Zoe and his friend, Jimmy, made the deal. Over the next few days, Zoe and Jimmy began to plan how they could continue to track the ships. Jimmy called the Turkish maritime department to verify the whereabouts of the freighters photographed by the intern reporter of the New York Times in Italy. They were lucky to have a freighter temporarily docked in Istanbul because of a breakdown.
”I have a bold idea?” Zoe announced to Jimmy.
