War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1103

In the private room with only four people, Wei Ran and Xia Shushi accompanied Simpson and the young translator Tang to drink a bottle of high-end liquor provided by the hotel, but the bottle that Translator Tang bought was never opened. Pass.

At the end of the dinner, Xia Shushi took advantage of Tang Translator's time to go to the bathroom, and asked Mr. Simpson bluntly under Wei Ran's hint, "Is Tang Translator trustworthy?"

"Of course" Simpson confidently gave a short response, but did not explain in detail.

Seeing this, no matter Wei Ran or Xia Shushi, they could only choose to believe and did not continue to ask.

"Let me take you to the hotel first," Xia Shushi said after changing the subject.

"It doesn't have to be"

Simpson, who smelled of alcohol, waved his hand, "I have many partners in Huaxia, and someone has already arranged a hotel for me. In the next month, I will live in Huaxia to carry out business activities. After one month, I will return to Australia. in other words."

"We only have one month?" Xia Shushi said subconsciously.

Simpson smiled frankly, "If you want me to survive."

Looking at each other with Wei Ran, Xia Shushi faithfully translated, and Wei Ran also sighed secretly, almost making a promise, saying, "Tell Mr. Simpson that he will survive."

Conveying Wei Ran's blessings, Xia Shushi also casually paid attention to the situation of Simpson's family.

What Wei Ran and Xia Shushi didn't expect was that the old guy arranged for all his family members to fly to China for refuge the day after he was attacked.

Today, his wife, son and daughter-in-law are all offered slack jobs in his partner's company, and even his grandson, who is just starting elementary school, is assigned to school.

And when asked why he hid in China, the old guy gave an impeccable reason as a matter of course-who would come to China to carry out an assassination?Even if they do come, the difficulty of getting hot weapons here, or the difficulty of bringing hot weapons into the country, is enough to dispel the impulse of quite a few "businessmen".

Thinking about it the other way around, Wei Ran can't find anything wrong with it, after all, didn't he drag his family back to the country to hide?

With this little pride, Wei Ran and Xia Shushi sent Simpson and his translator to an ordinary taxi, and then, Wei Ran immediately called Xia Shushi into the taxi he had just made an appointment with. Encouraged by an extra 100 yuan for hard work, he beckoned the driver and followed the taxi not far or near.

"What are we going to do?" Xia Shushi asked puzzled.

"Let's see if what this old thing said is true or not." Wei Ran winked after speaking, Xia Shushi wisely closed his mouth when he saw this.

Following along the way, the taxi finally stopped at the gate of a historic restaurant less than one kilometer away from the big square.

Watching Mr. Simpson warmly shake hands with a bald middle-aged man with a beer belly at the door, and then walked into the hotel lobby together, Wei Ran and Xia Shushi looked at each other, and then signaled the driver to drive the car back to its original location.

"This old guy is quite smart," Xia Shushi praised.

"really smart"

Wei Ran followed suit and nodded, Simpson was obviously planning to live in that hotel, but looking at the good location and long historical background of that big hotel, not to mention those pheasant killers who dare not do it, even if it is Wei Ran Even if he had 1 reasons to kill Simpson, he could only stare blankly and honestly wait for him to leave before thinking of a way.

All the way back to the place where they had dinner in silence, the two of them got into the car Xia Shushi drove, and then they both let out a sigh.

"It's really learned another trick." Xia Shushi praised before Wei Ran could speak.

"I really learned a trick." Wei Ran nodded convincedly, he couldn't accept it, Simpson really chose the safest place in the world to hide.

"We only have one month, what should we do next?" Xia Shushi asked, changing the subject.

"nothing to do"

Wei Ran spread his hands indifferently, and explained without any concealment, "What should you do? Although you have accepted Kou Kou's investigation work, don't be too eager to get the results, otherwise you might have to go That big hotel has opened a room for a few days.”

"I haven't lived in such a high-end place before," Xia Shushi said jokingly, "When I earn the 10 dollars, I will sleep there for one night."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you will make that $10."

While speaking, Wei Ran took out the photo album he just got from Simpson from his briefcase, "Now it's time to talk"

"Wait a minute"

Xia Shushi interrupted what Wei Ran was about to say, "Say it first, I'm here today to be an interpreter for you out of the spirit of scum."

"So?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.

"this"

Xia Shushi pointed to the photo album that Wei Ran just took out, "I'm not afraid of any trouble or killers, as long as you need it, I'd be happy to help you investigate. But I'm ugly, I have that 10 beauties. No matter how much this photo album is worth, you just keep it for yourself."

"This time, it's really not good if you don't follow the share."

Wei Ran opened the photo album while speaking, pointed to the photos that had been burned by cigarette butts and said, "These photos need to be handed over to Kou Kou as the results of your investigation."

"Let me come?" Xia Shushi looked at Wei Ran in confusion.

"I have some arrangements with the devils, so I need someone to help me share the firepower. And it's not a secret that I'm Kou Kou's wealth supervisor, so I'm not suitable to be mixed into any female dog organization, otherwise I will definitely Some people make a fuss about this kind of thing."

While speaking, Wei Ran took down the photos and the leaflets that fixed the photos and handed them to the other party, "In addition, when necessary, we can even have some differences and conflicts in the air."

"How about a play?"

While talking, Xia Shushi had already accepted a few pages of photos from Wei Ran, and from his own bag, he took out a kraft paper bag containing materials, and stuffed these pages of photos into it.

"It was a long play"

Wei Ran smiled, "You will be a well-known Chinese historian. It is far more beneficial for us brothers to stand on opposite sides than to be open friends."

"Understood!" Xia Shushi was a person who knew everything, so he naturally understood Wei Ran's plan.

"Then it's settled. This investigation should be the beginning of our differences."

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already stuffed the photo album with a few missing pages into his briefcase, "On the surface, I, a historian who was attacked just now, will be passive and sabotage this time so as not to get killed again, but You will be notified of all survey results.

But you, a fellow historian, made the investigation one step earlier than me, and in the end you will also get the friendship of Mr. Simpson. "

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran patted his briefcase, "For the rest of the photos, I will find a chance to ask the Second Emperor's little aunt if she can help hold another press conference."

"To put it bluntly, you are afraid, but I'm going to prepare hard steel?" Xia Shushi grinned, "You are willing to part with your good reputation now."

"It's just a reputation in front of Mr. Simpson, what's there to be reluctant about?"

Wei Ran replied indifferently, and then he snapped his fingers without waiting for the former to continue the topic, "There is another matter, you and the Second Emperor and Zhong Zhen will mention it later."

"What's the matter?" Xia Shushi asked.

"I have a friend who is going to start a tropical fruit business"

Wei Ran introduced, "He is going to train a young man to help harvest fruit in Papua New Guinea, and then he can let the two of them get to know my friend and the young man he trained.

Let me think about it, when you went to my place to play, you seemed to have had a drink with him, the gang leader named Greva. "

"Why doesn't he come to our country for his fruit business?" Xia Shushi asked without thinking, "Are there any fruits in the south?"

"It is true that there is everything, but there is not enough chaotic environment and a border like a sieve"

Wei Ran grinned and asked as if looking at a fool, "Friend, you don't really think that a gang's appetite can be filled only with tropical fruits?"

"When I didn't say anything just now," Xia Shushi patted his forehead, "Where are you going next?"

"Go home, where else can I go?"

Wei Ran replied as a matter of course, "Take me to the high-speed rail station, I have to go back before dark, or I won't be in time for dinner."

"Are you planning to stay at home every day these few days?" Xia Shushi asked helplessly.

"I haven't come back for a few days, and stay with my family."

The hard-spoken Wei Ran replied solemnly, completely ignoring the fact that the girls didn't intend to take him with them when they went out to play.

Hearing this, Xia Shushi shook his head helplessly, and drove the car towards the high-speed rail station.

After successfully sending Wei Ran into the station, when Xia Shushi returned to the car again, he found that Qin Ershi was already sitting in the driver's seat.

"When did you come here?" Xia Shushi was not surprised, he went around to the co-pilot's seat, opened the door and got in.

"I installed a positioning system on this car, and I saw that I came when you were driving towards the high-speed rail station." Qin Ershi had already started the car while speaking, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

"What are you doing away from Wei Ran?" Xia Shushi asked puzzled.

"It's not the right time to meet him"

Qin Ershi said soberly, "His identity is bright enough, there is no need for the outside world to know that he and I are friends, even you, it is best to keep a certain distance from him on the surface."

"You two are really bosom friends," Xia Shushi muttered, and then unreservedly recounted Wei Ran's plan just now.

“Actually there is a better way”

Qin Ershi lowered the car window, lit a cigarette and gave the second choice with a smile, "You can't be friends on the bright side, but there's no need to intentionally create some conflicts for outsiders to see."

"How to say?" Xia Shushi asked.

"Isn't the competitor better?"

Qin Ershi said in a cloud of mist, "You can contact that shrewd Australian guy and tell him straightforwardly that you are going to compete fairly with Wei Ran and compare who will find out the truth first. The bet is the photo album. The album will belong to whoever finds it out first."

Hearing this, Xia Shushi's eyes lit up, "What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference"

Qin Ershi smiled and said, "The two historians who have conflicts are too deliberate, but if it is an open and aboveboard competitive relationship, even if the two parties become friends, they will keep each other secret in the professional field. So you guess, once you meet someone in the future If he is dissatisfied with you, or Wei Ran, who will he find for cooperation?"

"What if I find out first?" Xia Shushi asked the second question.

Qin Ershi said indifferently, "If you really find out, the photo album belongs to you. Then I will ask my little aunt who can't get married in eight lifetimes to hold a press conference. Anyway, she is not afraid of death anyway."

"Beast, you are really a beast." Xia Shushi couldn't help admiring.

"What did you say?"

Qin Ershi gestured with a middle finger angrily, "Let's not talk about this, my little aunt can say that, in the past year, I was not allowed to recruit nuclear, and she said you and Zhong Zhen, which of us three would dare to recruit, I'm going to get cleaned up."

"How does she plan to deal with you this time?" Xia Shushi took out his mobile phone while talking, "I'll buy a ticket for Feizhaohe."

"You have a serious illness, right?" Qin Ershi braked and stopped less than [-] meters away from the highway toll gate.

"Just kidding, what are you afraid of? Hurry up and drive." Xia Shushi, who had succeeded in his scheme, grinned, "If you don't let me go, let's talk about the next thing, Wei Ran has a friend."

While the two scumbags were discussing Greva's tropical fruit business, Wei Ran's high-speed rail train slowly left the platform.

For the next full week, Wei Ranzhen spent the whole day nestling in the big yard of his grandma's house, thinking about Simpson's entrustment with all his heart.

Seeing that it was the end of October, Jima and Maya, who went out to play alone, finally joined Wei Ran, Sui Sui and others. Together with the three pets, they boarded the private car park that came to pick them up with gifts in large and small packages. airplane.

After a long flight and midway refueling, when the plane landed at Kazan Airport, Jima, Maya, sisters Olga, and Sui Xin didn't get off the plane.

The two of Jima and Ma are going to Petersburg to participate in public welfare activities and shoot commercials. Sister Olga is going home. As for Sui Xin, she has received a paid invitation from Olga again and is going to participate in an exhibition held by her in the exhibition hall in November. A small concert.

This small concert was scheduled before Wei Ran was attacked last month. For this reason, during the week when she returned to China, except for taking Lola's sister Korava to see a doctor, the rest of the time was basically They were all looking for Chen Guangling to learn how to play the piano. By the way, this girl also spent a lot of money to buy a guzheng through Chen Guangling's relationship.

The girl Sui Xin was invited to a commercial performance, and the other girls also had their own affairs to be busy.So after entering the country, Kou Kou and Aniya boarded the flight back to France.

Bringing three pets and returning home with the rest of the girls, the time library was finally restored in half a month, and at the same time, there were many changes.

Scanning the extra row of houses and the raised courtyard wall, Wei Ran and Sui Sui glanced at each other, and led the rest of the girls into the villa.

At this time, Greva had been waiting at the entrance of the villa for a long time. Beside him, there was still standing the Papua New Guinea primitive tribe wizard Samantha who had put on a down jacket early and was dressed not much differently from urban people.

Greeting everyone to sit down, Greva also communicated with Sui Sui about the progress of his tropical fruit business, and gained a lot of experience.

According to the gangster, with the help of a woman named Wanqiu, they used the identity of Samantha to register an import and export trading company in Port Moresby and bought a large building near the port. The four-story building serves as corporate and gang quarters.

In the end, he also successfully brought the "legal person" Samantha back to Kazan as originally planned, and only left Egger in Port Moresby to carry out their trade work.

While Sui Sui gave advice to the gang leader, Wei Ran also took out the large box of rough diamonds from the food box while packing his luggage, and handed it over to Anfesa as a bonus for the Hela organization and Succubus' future activities.

"Just these days when we were in China, our Hela girl kangaroo invited the target Du Juan to go to Okinawa for a few days."

Rhododendron?That Wendigo descendant, Kano Chinatsu?In the living room on the second floor, Wei Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, asked after matching his code name with his real name, "Did you find anything?"

"Have"

Anfisa handed a card to Wei Ran, "Kangaroo took the opportunity to go to his shop to consult about tattoos, and took the opportunity to help his sister hack into the wireless network of the shop, and then controlled the shop owner's monitoring system. viewing address."

After a short pause, Anfisa continued, "Two days later, through the Hella girl who stayed in Tula to take care of the children, we asked the man with the flower arm locked in the basement of the tavern to contact the owner of the tattoo shop and ask if he I will continue to assassinate you, a historian."

"What did the other party say?" Wei Ran asked with great interest.

"The other party told him to wait for news"

Anfisa said, and sent a document to Wei Ran, "After the call ended, we discovered through monitoring that the owner of the tattoo shop made a call and hung up the phone and temporarily closed the business. Shortly after that , the middle-aged man in the data entered the tattoo parlor."

Looking at the screenshot in the information, it was a man in his sixties with a strong figure and thick hair. Under this photo, there was a video attached.

Click on the video, and the screen is aimed at a place similar to the cash register, but there is no one in the screen, and only the sound of Japanese conversations not far away can be heard.

"My sister recognized the content of the conversation with translation software"

At the same time that Anfisa spoke, Wei Ran also pressed the pause button of the video playback, and then he heard Anfisa continue to say, "According to the recognized conversation content, the middle-aged man captured by the surveillance should be the employer. He chose to terminate your murder, and expressed his hope to find a way to bring back the killer and silence him.

The owner of the tattoo shop agreed to his request and charged an additional 600 million yen for extermination. "

After a short pause, Anfesa continued, "Shortly after, the owner of the tattoo shop called the contact information left by the man with the flower arm and said that he would find a way to arrange for him to leave Russia in the near future.

At the same time, the kangaroo girl from Hella also followed the employer who had left the tattoo shop, and with the help of her sister and other companions, she determined the address and identity information of the other party. In addition, the man with the flower arm also gave us Provided some information. "

Having said that, Anfisa sent another document.Click on the information again this time, the information inside is much more detailed.According to this information, although the man named Tori Sakurada has settled in Okinawa, he runs many custom shops in various places.

However, as he flipped through the information, he found that, according to the information compiled by sisters Katenka, this Sakurada Tori was the same as the master of the tattoo parlor in the 90s. A thug of a gang organization.

The difference is that after quitting the gang, this Tori Sakurada focused her career on running a custom shop.

In the additionally marked paragraph "Information provided by the flower-armed man", it is specifically stated that the earliest custom store of Sakurada Tori's family was opened by his father after World War II, and this "main store" has always been The target of soliciting customers is the American soldiers stationed in Okinawa.

Even, according to the flower-armed man, although the Sakurada family only does business for American soldiers in Okinawa and has a high level of quality, there are always rumors that they can provide different services in branches in other places.As for the specific services to be provided, the middle-aged flower-armed captive couldn't tell at all.

Fortunately, according to Anfeiya's Internet search, she finally found some clues. The so-called "different service" seems to be related to minors, but there is no direct evidence for this item.

In the rest of the information, Anfeiya had nothing of value except for the photos of Sakurada Tori's wife, son, and granddaughter.

"Keep eyeing the tattoo parlor"

Wei Ran closed the file and pondered for a moment, "Also, can you find a way to control this Sakurada Taoli?"

"We will try," Anfisa replied slightly cautiously.

"Give me an accurate answer within a week." Wei Ran paused and said, "If there is no way to control it, I may go to Okinawa to talk to him in person in the near future."

"I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." After Anfeisa finished, seeing that Wei Ran had nothing to say, he left the living room with the box of stones and walked up to the third floor.

"If it doesn't work, I have to do it myself." Wei Ran, who had already made a plan, muttered to himself, then got up and left the living room to go to the first floor.

At the same time, Jia Ya, who was far away in the monkey country of the Philippines, also found Brother Yang again.

"What's the current situation in Okinawa?" Jia Ya asked while holding a glass of sparkling wine.

"no change"

Yang Ge paused and said, "Some time ago, a white girl went to Okinawa with the descendant of that man-eating devil in Palau."

"Her?" Jia Ya raised her eyebrows, "Did you follow up?"

“Should be just for fun”

Brother Yang said uncertainly, "Both she and the target visited a well-known local tattoo parlor, but that's all. They left Okinawa the next afternoon."

"Where's the white girl with her?" Jia Ya continued to ask.

"Nothing out of the ordinary"

Brother Yang spread his hands, "Her Japanese is not good. She seems to be a student who just went to recruit foreign students. She got lost for a while, and finally reunited with that cannibal girl with the help of the police."

"Cannibal girl?" Jia Ya smiled and shook her head helplessly, "Next time, use a better nickname."

"Do you want to follow up?" Brother Yang asked.

"Continue to stare at the target person." Jia Ya thought for a while, and then added, "Go to that tattoo shop to see if there is anything unusual, and don't startle the snake."

"Already staring at it." Brother Yang responded slowly, "There is nothing unusual at the moment, that store is well-known in Okinawa itself."

"Is Mr. Simpson's farm watching?" Jia Ya asked in a different direction.

"Sent two groups of gunmen to work on his farm." Brother Yang replied without thinking, "No one has gone there yet."

"Where's my eldest nephew?" Jia Ya finally asked.

"I heard that to be honest, I seem to have signed up for some yoga class recently."

Brother Yang smiled and replied, "Not long ago Mr. Wei didn't show up when he returned to China, and when Mr. Wei went to Kazan later, he didn't go to see him off either."

"This kind of human being is as smart as that woman." Jia Ya muttered with great satisfaction, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
