Chapter 1049: The Stalker
Costa Rica is a presidential republic located in Central America, bordering Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south.
Originally inhabited by the Indians, it was targeted by Spanish colonists in the early 16th century, and was conquered 50 years later and became a Spanish colony.
It was not until the twenties of the nineteenth century that Costa Rica emerged from its colonial fate and became independent, subsequently joining the Central American Confederation and then the Republic.
In 1983, Costa Rica declared itself a permanent neutral country.
According to the Constitution, Costa Rica has no army, only the police and security forces to maintain internal security, and is the first country in the world to have no army.
Costa Rica's economy is mainly dependent on agriculture and the export of electronic components, and it is a relatively developed country in Central America, with a relatively high standard of living and a booming tourism industry.
Located at the crossroads of Central and South American cultures, Costa Rica has a diverse culture and has always been known as the 'Switzerland of Central America'!
San José, the capital of Costa Rica, is located in the fertile valley of the country's central plateau, at 1,163 meters above sea level, making it the highest capital in Central America.
The climate here is pleasant, the four seasons are like spring, the flowers are in full bloom, the city is full of greenery, and the streets are lined with acacia trees, camellias and roses planted in the courtyards, and the whole city is like a big garden.
Therefore, San Jose is also known as the 'City of Flowers'.
Not long after leaving the airport, Ye Tian and his convoy entered the downtown area of San Jose, and the scenery outside the car window also changed.
Beautiful acacia trees line the road, blooming with delicate and brilliant flowers, like yellow clouds, constantly drifting through the car window, very moving.
Behind these yellow clouds, chic dwellings are often hidden.
These dwellings are generally low-built, lightweight, and mostly Spanish-style two-story villas with brightly colored facades that are very warm, just like the enthusiastic Latin Americans.
San Jose is located in a valley, and most of the streets are built along the hills, which are up and down, winding and funny.
In the city, there are many old buildings that still retain the appearance of one or two hundred years ago, such as the Spanish Cathedral in the 18th century and the Central Museum of Costa Rica.
At the same time, San Jose is a modern city, with tall office buildings and high-end hotels, as well as a variety of modern commercial facilities!
Tradition and modernity come together in this Mesoamerican highland city, where they coexist in harmony, regardless of the other!
"It's a beautiful view, I love the beautiful acacia trees and the bright flowers!"
Admiring the beautiful scenery outside the car window, Betty couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and her expression was quite mesmerized.
"The time for us to come to Costa Rica is just right, spring and summer are the flowering period of acacia trees, and it is also the most beautiful time in San Jose, at this time, San Jose lives up to the reputation of 'Flower City'!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, also enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the car window.
The convoy continued onwards and sped along the flower-strewn central boulevard to the booked hotel.
About seven or eight minutes after entering the city, Matisse's voice suddenly came through the headphones.
"Steven, there is someone following behind the convoy, it is an old black Volvo SUV, as soon as we leave the airport, this car will follow, and it will always be attached to the back!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned on the call function of the invisible headset, and said through the headset:
"Have you found out the identity of the other party? How many people are in the car? What is the source? Is it a media reporter or some other person? If it is a media reporter, then leave him alone.
The tripartite joint exploration agreement will be signed tomorrow, and by then, everything will be made public, and there is no need to keep it secret now.
If it's someone else who doesn't know where to go, then you tell Herrera directly, and let the Costa Rican police who are following you interrogate the stalker's identity and purpose.
I believe that the Costa Rican police must be very nervous at this time, lest we cause trouble and kill people in San Jose, and they will definitely not be polite to the stalkers."
The identity of the other party has not been found out for the time being, judging from the footage captured by the surveillance camera behind the car, the stalker should be a Hispanic man, single-handed, and the license plate is local to San Jose.
From this point of view, it is unlikely that the other party is a media reporter, although we flew to Costa Rica without deliberately keeping it secret, but we don't know too many media reporters.
It's likely that the other party has other intentions, but we don't know for the time being, so I sent Kenny a picture of the stalker and asked them to quickly compare them to see if they could determine their identity.
The results of the comparison will be available soon, and once the identity of the other party is confirmed, I will immediately notify Herrera and let the Costa Rican police deal with that guy, enough for him to drink!"
"Then wait for Kenny's results, and see what kind of fairy this stalker is, and you have to tell everyone to be vigilant and ready to respond.
It's not far from Colombia, and the influence of the Spaniards is not small, so we still have to be more careful, don't capsize in the gutter and plant it in San Jose!"
"Understood! I'll warn you of that."
Mattis replied in a deep voice, and then ended the call.
After only two or three minutes, Matisse's voice came through the headphones again.
"Steven, I found out, the guy who was driving behind was a private investigator in San Jose, who was somewhat famous here, and there was information about him on the Internet, so it was not difficult to check!
After confirming his identity, Kenny and the others used some technical means to focus on checking the guy's call history to see who was hiding behind him.
In the past two days, this guy has frequently contacted a mobile phone number in Los Angeles, making several calls a day, and the time is not short.
You know, his business is limited to Costa Rica and has no contact with the United States, so it can be seen that he is likely to accept business from the United States.
The mobile phone number in Los Angeles is bearer, and the user information cannot be found after using it, and only one phone number has been contacted, which is the mobile phone number of this private detective!
But judging from this time period and the mobile phone number in Los Angeles, I think we may have run into an old rival, Cook's idiot and his Golden Eagle Explorer.
Cook has been very concerned about our actions, and he knows that it is normal for us to come to Costa Rica, and he does not even rule out the possibility that he already knows the purpose of this joint exploration operation.
It is very unlikely that someone from Columbia University's School of History or the Costa Rican government will leak the relevant information.
That's the treasure of Lima! With Cook's incomparably greedy personality, how could he not be moved or even crazy when he heard the news? It is not surprising that someone was sent to follow him!"
"It's really Cook's idiot, if it's him, this tripartite joint exploration operation will be interesting, maybe there will be another good show!
No matter who this private detective is hired by, we should warn him, don't let him be too presumptuous, let the Costa Rican police do it, they are the most suitable!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his demeanor was very relaxed, and he didn't take the stalker behind him seriously at all.
"Okay! I'll tell Herrera and let the Costa Rican police intervene!"
Mattis responded, and sprang into action.
Soon, the terrible sound of the alarm came from outside the car and reached everyone's ears.
The Costa Rican police car that was following closely behind the convoy and escorting it suddenly sounded the alarm and slowed down and leaned over to the Volvo SUV in the rear!
