War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1091 Respective Destinations
The Great Barrier Reef, which runs across the northeast coast of Australia, is the largest and longest coral reef in the world.Among the coral reefs stretching for more than [-] kilometers, Osprey Reef is undoubtedly the most inaccessible reef in the commercial diving activities of the Great Barrier Reef.

Even if the weather is good, the diving sightseeing boat from Cairns needs to sail continuously for more than 10 hours to get here.

It is now October, and although it is a good season for diving and sightseeing here, the weather today is not so good.

But even in such bad weather, there is still a white sightseeing yacht on the sea.

In the slightly undulating waves, this sightseeing yacht sailed straight towards the direction of Cairns Harbour.

In the exceptionally spacious cabin, Wei Ran, who had just boarded the ship, quickly changed into a set of clothes provided by the yacht, and then lay down on the big soft bed, watching the sea view outside the window and waiting patiently.

This is the evening of the second day after he left Port Moresby, and he will land in Australia next, and the purpose of this trip is naturally to meet with Chiba Takao's employer and solve the problem that he didn't know where he went Follow-up troubles with the album.

As for the way to solve the trouble, Wei Ran rubbed the tattoo on the tiger's mouth without any trace.

The reason why he was so concerned about this matter was because of the employer's information An Feiya had found.

According to the information in that document, the person who hired Chiba Takao and his partner was only an Australian-Japanese wine exporter.

Among the intelligence information found in the mobile phone of the mixed-race girl, there is nothing special about this businessman who is considered to have a rich family.

But after Anfeya's in-depth investigation, it was discovered that the businessman's son seems to be an independent member of Parliament in Australia.

In addition, she also found a news photo of the businessman and a former ambassador to Australia.

For Wei Ran, these reasons are enough.

There is an independent MP's son who obviously has a good relationship with the former ambassador to Australia. Such a Japanese-born businessman has definitely not low sensitivity to symptoms.

Therefore, Wei Ran has reason to believe that the secrets hidden in such a businessman's photo album, which would rather buy a murderer, will definitely not just hide some irrelevant "plane crash point of a female dog athlete" Urgent spam.

Not to mention the "enemy-killing value" brought by obtaining such a photo album, even if Wei Ran doesn't take the initiative to solve this problem, even if the Japanese businessman gets the photo album that hasn't been seen yet, will he put it away? Guo Wei Ran has to put a question mark.

After all, although Chiba Genan didn't mention it, the mixed-race girl caught by Anfeya was recruited. In addition to getting the photo album, the businessman also wanted to "buy murder" and the total price of the whole business The price has already surpassed the high price of one hundred thousand dollars that Luke offered for that photo album.

To put it more simply, when Luke made the photo album public, the businessman was already murderous.

Wei Ran believed that, compared to other potential buyers and insiders, he, a relatively well-known historian, especially a Chinese historian, was definitely on the other party's murder list.

Just as he was looking out the window at the sea surface dyed red by the setting sun and secretly planning, someone knocked on the door of the cabin from the takeaway.

Almost subconsciously turning over and getting out of bed, Wei Ran listened for a while, but the door opened by itself from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing wide sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap on his head walked into the room on his own, and closed the door by the way.

"Draw the curtains"

The man greeted him in slow Russian, then unbuttoned the leather jacket on his body, and casually threw the bucket bag fixed on his chest on the bed.

"Why are you here?" Wei Ran said, got up and went to the window and drew the curtains.

"I happened to be attending an academic exchange in the field of psychiatry with my mentor in Brisbane. I forgot to tell you that I am now a student at the University of Nevada School of Medicine." Ninell, who was standing at the door, was already talking. The mask fell off the face.

"So that's why you insisted on letting me go ashore here after I contacted you?" Wei Ran opened the bucket bag brought by the other party while talking.

He came to Australia to solve the troubles, so it is naturally impossible for him to smuggle through Jia Ya's channel, that would be tantamount to giving a clue to the door, after all, his relationship with Jia Ya is not close enough to be trusted unconditionally.

But Ninel is different. This guy is now almost tied to himself and the Hella organization. He will not reject himself at all in the relationship between the two.

The fact is also as Wei Ran expected. Although Ninel has no business in Australia and Papua New Guinea, he still knows a lot of colleagues.

Especially under the reminder of Wei Ran, he also specially found a stranger to help him arrange the smuggling route from Papua New Guinea to Australia.

Doing so will definitely leave a lot of traces, but it's just like when he deliberately turned over two strong white men on the pier, it was all intentional - anyway, the identity he is now wearing is not that he has returned to Russia Historian Victor, but a freelancer named Chiba Katoo.

Of course, Ninel was also here, which he hadn't thought of before.

"I arranged for two enthusiastic Brazilian girls to work all night before convincing my mentor and I to come to the Great Barrier Reef for the weekend."

Ninel sat down on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette and said, "Besides, I've disappointed you, I don't have the time and opportunity to act with you, all I can do is send you some useful I don't know what you're going to do, but I heard you used that transport plane, so I guess it's a big deal?"

"It's not a big deal," Wei Ran said, and finally took out several cardboard boxes from the bucket bag and opened them one by one.

This first box contains a Glock pistol that can be seen almost everywhere, five or six spare magazines loaded with bullets, and a silencer.

The second box contains a disassembled Remington 700, a target scope and two loaded magazines.In addition, there is also a stack of semi-new Australian dollars and a certificate.

In addition to the two boxes containing the weapons, the bucket bag contained a pair of jeans, a brown leather jacket, a pair of fairly lightweight boots, and a black baseball cap.

"The long and short guns were used by the murderer of a gang vendetta case in southern Australia four or five years ago." Neel lowered his voice and said slowly, "The murderer was thrown into the sea to feed the fish before he was caught by the police. gone."

"Bought it?"

"Could it be picked up?" Ninel asked angrily.

"Take it away, I don't need it."

Wei Ran said, but took the wad of cash from the box containing Remington, and threw it on the bed together with the clothes prepared by the other party, "These are enough."

"Are you going to use your teeth as a weapon?" Ninel mocked angrily.

"Teeth is enough"

As Wei Ran said, he stuffed the suit of clothes he had just taken off and the two boxes of weapons into the bucket bag and handed it to Ninel.

Ninel took the bucket bag and put it at his feet, then took out a card and handed it to Wei Ran, "There is a cargo ship in Darwin Port, and it will stop there within five days, as long as you hold this card in If you board the ship at night, you can get a job as a sailor, and it will send you to a ship repairing factory in the southern part of Irian Jaya Province, Indonesia. As long as I don’t show up, I can only help you arrange here.”

"enough"

Wei Ran, who had already changed his clothes, took the initiative to change the subject after some activities, "The last time I saw Olga, she told me that you had ignored her for several days?"

“Busier those days”

Ninel responded casually, "You obviously have your own channel here, and you specifically asked me for help this time, isn't it just to help her ask this matter?"

"I'm not that leisurely." Wei Ran waved his hands with a smile, "I'm just curious about your relationship now."

"I don't need to report this to you."

Neil obviously didn't want to satisfy Wei Ran's heart of gossip, stood up and said, "I won't waste time with you, my mentor is drunk, I'm going to take care of him. I'll tell you how to get there when I arrive at the port Darwin's."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Wei Ran shook the card he was still holding in his hand.

"Go back alive"

Ninel finished speaking slowly, put on the mask and jacket again, wrapped the barrel in his arms, left the cabin, turned and walked to the opposite room.

After more than ten hours of sailing, the sightseeing yacht finally returned to the port of Cairns at dawn when the sun jumped out of the horizon.

Under the guidance of Ninel, Wei Ran, who was disguised and wore a mask and hat, carried a luggage bag and got into a half-new black pickup truck in the parking lot of the pier.

Before he could sit still, the pickup truck left the dock with the roar of the engine, wandered around the city, and finally stopped on the side of a road outside the city.

After waiting in silence for more than half an hour, a long-headed truck towing a full four containers also drove over from the direction of the city.

Seeing this, the man sitting in the cab immediately pushed open the door and turned on the double flashing lights.

Soon, the road train came to a slow stop.The drivers of the two cars communicated through the window, and the driver of the pickup truck greeted Wei Ran and walked to the side of the second container, and opened the door of the container familiarly.

Under the signal of the other party, Wei Ran got into the dark container.Immediately afterwards, the cabinet door behind him was shut with a "bang".

In less than five seconds, a small dim light lit up in the container, and Wei Ran could see the situation inside clearly again.

There are not many things in this container. There is a row of five fancy off-road motorcycles in front of it, but inside is a heavily modified off-road vehicle.

In the deepest part of the container, there is a canvas hanging on the front of the off-road vehicle.Lift up the canvas, in addition to a single bed fixed on the bulkhead of the container, there is also a small car air conditioner and a ventilation window that is only the size of a book and can be opened.

On the other side of the single bed was a simple toilet surrounded by a cloth curtain. When the toilet lid was lifted, he could even see the road outside.

After checking here, Wei Ran sat on a single bed less than one meter wide, and the road train also started to move amidst the ear-piercing sound of the pneumatic horn.

After a day and a half passed, the road train finally arrived at Darwin Port, one of the destinations of the trip, after running more than 2000 kilometers of wilderness roads non-stop around the clock.

In the dark sky of the evening, the lead-sealed container door was opened again, and Wei Ran jumped down after some observation.

“Rental cars are available in the brown house across from the gas station”

The driver who opened the door pointed to the opposite side of the road and whispered in English, "This place is about 20 kilometers away from downtown Darwin. If you don't want to rent a car, you can buy an off-road motorcycle from me for only 1 Australian dollars."

Hearing this, Wei Ran smiled, took out the [-] Australian dollars prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to the other party as a tip, and then walked towards the direction of downtown Darwin.

After receiving the tip, the driver happily closed the cabinet door, whistled and walked towards the restroom of the gas station, apparently not caring how Wei Ran got to downtown Darwin.

It was not until the road train behind him completely disappeared that Wei Ran hid behind a big rock on the side of the road, changed into the clothes that Ninel had prepared for him, and then took out the engineering shovel, and took off the clothes and backpack buried together.

Shi Shiran returned to the road, Wei Ran came to the opposite side of the road, whistled and walked towards the car rental company.

Almost at the same time as the road train that brought him here started, Wei Ran also successfully rented a car that looked mediocre by using Chiba Genan's Australian driver's license and the cash that Ninel had prepared for him. Strange buggy.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the off-road vehicle easily overtook the road train and drove straight towards the city.

Randomly found a motel, Wei Ran got a driver's license and opened a room that wasn't too big.

After some washing and repairing the camouflage on his face, he drove to the port, and finally found the very old cargo ship arranged by Ninel.

Not in a hurry to get in touch with the people on the boat, after noting the route, he drove to a single-family mansion with a little Japanese flavor by the sea.

He was still passing by the mansion and took a look, but the car driven by Wei Ran simply left here. After wandering around the city for a while, he returned to the cheap mansion after eating and drinking. The motel, busy started the next plan for Chiba Katoo to meet the employer.

At the same time, Chiba Genan and his partner, who were locked in the cage, were also wrapped tightly in the cold wind and sent to the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains. In the abandoned military base of the Challenger League.
