War Photographer's Notebook

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran piled all the clothes he took off from the unlucky ghost into the washbasin, and then sat down at the table in the living room with the captured pistol and spare magazines.

After a general inspection, he finally found the difference in these bullets.

To put it simply, those bullets with blue paint on their bullet tips are all high-charge bullets. To explain it more bluntly, it is to increase the charge of the bullets, so that the bullets have greater penetrating power , but also reduces the stopping effect of the bullet.

The remaining bullets that are not painted with sky blue paint are reduced charge bullets.

The power of these bullets is naturally smaller, but because of the weakened power, the stopping effect is somewhat stronger.

It's really hard to tell which of the two bullets is stronger and weaker, but at least he can be sure that the bullets in Luke and his partner's minds are most likely shot in by this reduced charge bullet.

Not only that, even the magazines are loaded in the order of one strong charge and one reduced charge.And from this small detail, we can also see the self-confidence, prudence and rich experience of the peer who is still lying in the bathtub, and of course, the very characteristic execution method.

All of this is undoubtedly implying that the unlucky ghost who was greeted by the shock bomb is probably a professional eater.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran reloaded the bullets into the magazine in the original order with a wet towel, and then put the pistol and the residues of the two bullets that were just disassembled into the food box.

He had just finished his work here, and the doorbell rang outside the room, and then, Wan Qiu called.

"Doctor Wu, what you want is already at the door." Wan Qiu said softly, "Is there anything else we need to do?"

"Help me prepare four of the largest aluminum alloy suitcases, just deliver them before dark." Wei Ran said with a smile before opening the door, "That's all for now."

"Ok"

After Wan Qiu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and Wei Ran opened the door after waiting for a while, and carried the two big barrels into the bathroom with 10 liters of hydrogen peroxide.

After re-locking the door, Wei Ran first poured one of the buckets into the washbasin where the broken clothes were placed, and then threw the blood-stained towel into it.

After the blood stains on the towel on the clothes were oxidized, he used the towel to carefully wipe off the blood stains on the floor at the door, and finally poured some hydrogen peroxide on the floor.

After dealing with the blood left by the unlucky ghost, he used the other's razor-sharp pocket knife to lightly cut a long and thin wound on his face.But then, he slowly poured a glass of hydrogen peroxide onto the bleeding wound.

Under the stimulation of severe pain, the unlucky ghost finally regained his sobriety.However, he held back and didn't let out any screams.

"do you know Chinese?"

While restoring the other's jaw to normal, Wei Ran asked in his native language, but as expected, the other party didn't respond.

"It's been a long time since I met someone as tough as you." Wei Ran poured the remaining half glass of hydrogen peroxide on the wound on the other's face, then got up and left the bathroom.

After a while, he walked back to the bathroom with a retro-style metal medical box, and said in Chinese while slowly preparing for the operation, "To tell you the truth, although I am a historian, I am also a plastic surgeon. I hope you will be satisfied with my workmanship."

After a short pause, Wei Ran picked up a disposable morphine syringe and said, "Next, I'm going to change your gender. Although the conditions here are indeed a bit rough, if you can survive, I will give you a replacement after a while. You have a pair of big brothers, and then I will sell you to a friend of mine, and he will arrange for you a new job that will make you happy every day."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran with a crazy face put on the mask, ignored the opponent's struggle, and tied the morphine in his hand on the opponent's thigh.

After waiting for a while, Wei Ran picked up a hemostat and clamped the opponent's skin. Seeing that the opponent did not respond, he immediately picked up a scalpel, "Look, I'm still very good. I'll give you anesthesia."

"What do you want to know?" The man lying in the bathtub finally got scared and asked in Chinese that emphasized weirdness.

"You can say whatever you want"

Wei Ran smiled and said, "For example, what is your name, where are you from, what organization do you belong to, where are your other two companions, who is your employer, and what secrets does that photo album hold."

Gently tapped the scalpel and hemostatic forceps in his hand and put them aside, Wei Ran turned on the ventilation in the bathroom, then turned on the speaker in the room to play a piece of heavy metal music at random, and then returned to the bathtub. The side smiled and said, "I can guarantee that you will survive, but whether you live in heaven or hell is up to you. Next, I will continue to operate on you until you say that I am interested. content I will stop."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran pulled the opponent's dislocated legs out of the bathtub, tied a piece of gauze to the handrail beside the bathtub, then picked up the scalpel again, and lightly cut the opponent's thigh.

"Stop! Stop!"

The unlucky ghost yelled in panic. Seeing that Wei Ran didn't stop at all, he immediately sped up his speech and said in a strange Chinese accent, "I am Hanbang, and my name is Cui!"

Before the man finished speaking, Wei Ran poked the scalpel on his arm, and reminded him indifferently, "I'm not here to listen to your story, so you'd better tell the truth."

After speaking, he pulled out the scalpel again, and continued to slowly cut open the opponent's skin.

"Recruiter, I am the recruiter! My name is Chiba Genan!"

The man panicked and said, "I didn't lie to you! My father is a recruiter, but my mother is a Hanbang!"

"You'd better tell me something that interests me." Wei Ran reminded while busy, "otherwise how can I stop?"

"I'm a freelancer, codenamed Shrike!"

Chiba Genan spoke even faster, "My partner is in Kazan now, and is going to hijack your girlfriends or directly steal that photo album."

girlfriends?

Wei Ran, whose innocence was tainted for no reason, couldn't help speeding up the movements of Wei Ran's subordinates, and Chiba Genan became more nervous and continued, "She is a commercial spy, good at stealing commercial secrets, and she is of mixed race! She is about 1.6 meters tall, Long hair! I don't know her name, I only know her code name is Jerry, the Jerry in the cartoon!"

Seeing that Wei Ran still didn't stop, Chiba Genan didn't dare to stop, "I only have this companion this time, I don't know who my employer is, I just know that I have to take the photo album back to him!"

Seeing that Wei Ran still didn't stop, Qianye Genan almost collapsed and begged, "I'm telling the truth without any concealment! Stop it! Stop it!"

"Give me another 5 minutes and I can peel off the bird's skin completely"

Wei Ran stopped what he was doing with great regret, and asked while turning the blood-stained scalpel around his fingertips, "It's time for me to ask questions, but I accidentally cut off a blood vessel just now. , so you'd better answer quickly."

Ignoring the desperate expression on the other party's face, Wei Ran slowly poured a glass of hydrogen peroxide and asked with a smile, "Did you come to me at the request of your employer, or did you come up with it?"

"It's the result of my discussion with my partner!"

Chiba Genan replied in Chinese very quickly, "Our employer only asks for the photo album, and doesn't care about our specific actions."

"Next Question"

Wei Ran asked slowly while pouring the hydrogen peroxide in the cup onto the wound on the opponent's arm that was stabbed by the scalpel. "Where do you send the album after you get it? Which is your partner's contact information?"

"Get the photo album and send it to a hotel in Melbourne!"

Chiba Genan resisted the severe pain and screams in his arm, and replied as quickly as possible, "My partner's mobile phone ends with 22, stop it!"

"Call your partner"

Wei Ran smiled and said, "Tell her that you have caught me, and you have tortured the photo album and hid it in the darkroom at the end of the basement of the library, and the guards in the library only work until 03:30 in the morning."

After a short pause, Wei Ran poured another glass of hydrogen peroxide and said, "If you can catch your partner, you have a chance to survive, and if you can verify from her mouth that what you said is true, you don't have to continue to be tortured." up.

Of course, I may not be able to let you go, but at least I can arrange a fairly safe teaching job for you. "

"I agree, I agree!"

Chiba Genan hastily agreed.

"Finally, where is your foothold?" Wei Ran asked the last question with a smile, "Of course, there is also your means of transportation."

Naturally, Qianye Genan would not hide this small problem, and told Wei Ran one by one with great joy.

Seeing this, the latter took the other party's satellite phone and found his partner's number, "What are your contact habits?"

"Send a message first"

Chiba Genan glanced at the dark red blood flowing from the thigh into the bathtub, and said faster, "The content is the current time minus two hours and 17 minutes."

Hearing this, Wei Ran first edited the time and showed it to the other party. After confirming that there was no problem with the format, he straightened up and added an extra sentence in Russian and sent it to Anfeiya's mobile phone, and then called Anfeiya's phone , and then stuck it to Chiba Genan's ear.

"Run, I've been arrested, contact the boss." Qianye Genan reminded with a normal expression, then bit his tongue and killed himself.

However, before he could use his strength, Wei Ran had already supported his chin and gave another forceful push, easily pulling away the joint of the mandible.

"Although I can't understand what you are talking about, your partner has been arrested and is a mixed-race woman."

On the other end of the phone, Anfeya, who had been reminded in advance, said slowly in English, "This is Russia, it would be more natural for you to find a Caucasian girl."

After finishing speaking, Anfeiya hung up the phone, and Qianye Genan's face was already full of despair.

"You've been guiding me to contact your partner since the beginning, right?"

Wei Ran threw the satellite phone aside and asked with a smile, "That's why you answered so many messages so happily, just to gain my trust and get such an opportunity?"

Seeing that Qianye Genan was still silent, Wei Ran paused and continued, "I will cut you into large and small parts until only the torso is left alive. If I don't get the information I want, I will Do the same when you catch your partner."

Speaking of this, Wei Ran stopped, abruptly changed into useless sticky words, and asked in the other's ear, "That mixed-race woman is not just your partner, is it?"

As soon as he said this, Qianye Genan's body trembled, but before he could say anything, Wei Ran straightened up, "I changed my mind, the friend I mentioned just now probably has someone under him Hundreds of horny punks, your girlfriend"

"Enough! Stop talking!"

Chiba Genan, who had his jaw removed, yelled vaguely, and then said vaguely, "Let her go, I'll tell you everything you need to know."

"Just repeat what you just said." Wei Ran played with the scalpel with a smile, "This is your last chance."

"What I said is real"

Chiba Genan put his chest against his uncontrollably moving chin, and responded vaguely and with difficulty.

Hearing this, Wei Ran picked up the needle holder with a smile on his face, and sewed up the ten centimeter long wound at the base of his thigh, but it was just a scaring wound that opened the skin.

Finally, I poured a large cup of hydrogen peroxide on the painless wound to complete the debridement and disinfection. Wei Ran cleaned up the scene carefully and wiped it with hydrogen peroxide before tying him to the bathtub with his clothes On the armrest of the bed, he took a photo of Chiba Genan, and then covered his eyes with a bath towel.

After everything was done, he took out a mobile phone without a SIM card and an electronic watch from his briefcase, placed them facing the bathroom door, and turned on the video recording function.

After closing the door of the bathroom from the outside, Wei Ran waved away the medical kit, put on the mask, sunglasses and fisherman's hat again, and then picked up the garbage bag containing pieces of Chiba Genan's clothes and an inconspicuous The backpack opened the door.

Fortunately, Wan Qiu didn't arrange anyone to guard outside the room, and he didn't even push the cleaning cart away.And in the stairwell far away, there were two strong men staring at the door of their own room, obviously worried that something might go wrong again.

Waving at the other party, Wei Ran pointed to the locked door behind him and said, "Please find someone to guard the door, but don't enter the room. In addition, someone is also guarded outside the hotel. The window of this room just seemed I accidentally broke it, if something comes out of the room, just shoot it."

"No problem, Doctor Wu!" The strong man replied immediately.

"That's it, I'll go out for a while, don't need to follow."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran walked towards the elevator room, took the elevator that seemed to be reserved for himself and left the hotel with peace of mind.

Behind him, the strong man who intended to stop looked at Wan Qiu who was shaking his head not far away, but finally pressed the intercom and made arrangements according to Wei Ran's instructions, and then he walked towards Wan Qiu.

"Aren't we going to take a look in the room?" The strong man pointed to Wei Ran's room and asked in a low voice towards Wanqiu.

"Do you know why you have been acting as the deputy squad leader for so many years?" Wan Qiu asked with a smile.

"Why?" The strong man asked blankly.

"Because you are too curious"

Wan Qiu patted the other person's thick chest, "If you are more curious, maybe I will have to go to the cemetery to find you next year during the Ching Ming Festival."

Hearing this, the strong man swallowed involuntarily, turned around and walked to the door of Wei Ran's room, stepping upright with his hands behind his back, but he didn't say a word anymore.

Seeing this, Wan Qiu showed a satisfied smile, turned around and walked into her room and closed the door, Quan Dang didn't know that Wei Ran had gone out.

At this time downstairs in the hotel, as the elevator opened, Wei Ran had already stuffed the white coat and fisherman hat he had taken off into the garbage bag he was carrying, and even the color of his T-shirt was changed , a black baseball cap was put on his head, and the camera in the elevator was covered with a piece of medical tape the size of a fingernail.

Shi Shiran walked out of the elevator, and Wei Ran, who was carrying a bag and a garbage bag, walked into the parking lot to search, but in the end he just glanced at the dilapidated off-road vehicle in the corner, and walked towards other places without stopping. direction.

Focusing on the off-road vehicle, he observed the surrounding cars, and then he returned to the car again, and carefully opened the door that was not locked at all.

After some inspection, he only found a small canvas bag from the car, which contained only a telescope, a Glock pistol, several magazines full of bullets, and a key.

After thinking for a while, Wei Ran took the pistol and magazines with him, picked up the key, turned around and left the off-road vehicle, and walked out of the parking lot slowly.

After wandering around, Wei Ran finally walked into a cheap hotel that was less than 200 meters away from the hotel he was staying in.

Pretending to be on the phone, covering his face and shaking the key in his hand towards the aunt at the front desk, Wei Ran followed the number on the key to a room at the end of the second floor.

Putting on his gloves, he carefully opened a crack in the door, stuffed the phone in and observed it through the camera, until he was sure there was no danger, and then he opened the door.

This room is not too big, except for a bed, there is only a table and a chair. Fortunately, this room is equipped with an air conditioner, and the air conditioner is still running. The temperature is exceptionally comfortable.

After closing the door and checking, Wei Ran did not open the thick curtains, but sat on a chair, and first sent some information about Qianye Genan to Anfeiya.

Soon, it was convenient to send an email back, saying that there was indeed a free killer code-named Shrike on the dark web, and the business scope of the other party was basically in South Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as these small fart countries near the Pacific equator and sparsely populated of Australia.

In contrast, the industrial spy code-named Jerry did not have any information.Obviously, that Chiba Genan still had something to hide from a helpless historian who was so kind to him after all.

Putting away the authenticator, Wei Ran carefully opened the suitcase under the table.

Half of the space in this dark green suitcase is filled with several sets of clothes and a thick stack of passports, in addition to a medical kit.

In the other half of the space, there is a Fenghe M1500 sniper rifle with a carbon fiber folding stock, as well as a matching silencer and bullets fixed on the sponge.

Without touching the long-range weapon, Wei Ran opened the small bag containing the passport.

In this bag, apart from a wad of cash, the rest of the passports were also put into two compartments. One of the compartments contained only the three passports of Australia, Hanbang and Recruitment. The owner of the passport was not surprised. It's Chiba Tetsuo himself, but the name is either Katsuyuki Hanae in Japanese, Song Seung-soo in Korean, or Tom Worthington in English.

Putting aside the three obviously genuine passports, Wei Ran picked up the remaining passports.

These passports basically cover all the small fart countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Among them, there are several passports of the Philippine Monkey and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

And on one of the passports belonging to Palau, he finally saw the name Chiba Genan.

After some thought, Wei Ran put all these passports into his pockets, and then carefully wiped the Glock pistol and spare magazines on his waist, and put them together with the garbage bags he brought. suitcase.

Immediately afterwards, he called up the photos he had taken for Chiba Genan, and then opened the backpack he brought, took out various cosmetics and started to work.

Nearly an hour later, Wei Ran, who was almost similar to Chiba Genan himself, put on the other's shirt, put on his backpack again, and left the room with the dark green suitcase.

He didn't go far at all, so he found another cheap hotel and checked in smoothly with the PNG passport he had just dug out.Then, he left the hotel, and strolled around this fairly busy street with a fake face on his face.

As the evening approached, after Wei Ran deliberately knocked down two strong white men at the entrance of a bar, he ran into a nearby dark alley under the setting sun. In the off-road vehicle sent by late autumn to pick him up, he sped away.
