War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1135 The Fun in the Safe

On the night of their arrival in Kobe, Jima and Maya warmly entertained Wei Ran and his translator Marta, who ate and drank until Wei Ran was completely drunk and let Marta eat Kobe beef. Only then did I return to the hotel contentedly.

In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, and Maya also woke up the interpreter Marta.

"Come hang out with me"

Maya pointed helplessly at Wei Ran and Jima's room, "Both of them drank too much, I'm afraid they won't be able to go out to play today."

"Don't they need to take care of them?" Marta asked kindly, "I can go buy some hangover medicine."

"Forget it, let them sleep." Maya said with some emotion, "Let's go, let's play by ourselves."

"Okay"

Marta looked at Wei Ran's room worriedly, and finally followed Maya downstairs, and drove her to the selected hot spring.

Of course, the girl didn't know that Wei Ran and Jima had already quietly left the hotel before dawn, took a van driven by someone arranged by Ninel, and drove to the mountainous area outside the city.

Almost at the same time Maya took Marta out, the two also saw a secluded Japanese-style garden deep in the mountains.

"The road we just came from is the only way to get here"

The blond man driving the car handed over two pistols with suppressors and two walkie-talkies connected to headsets before Wei Ran and Jima got out of the car, "I will park the car on the road and block the road later, As long as I don't notify you, you don't have to worry about someone passing by."

"Understood." Wei Ran nodded, put on gloves and a mask, took the walkie-talkie and was the first to walk out of the car door.

Seeing that Wei Ran didn't take a weapon, Ji Ma thought for a while, but didn't take a weapon. He also pulled down his mask, took the walkie-talkie and left the car.

Seeing this, the man driving the car didn't take it seriously. After putting away his weapon, he turned around and drove about 200 meters in the same direction. He tried to call Wei Ran and Jima through the walkie-talkie, and saw that they were able to communicate. , and then parked the car sideways on the driveway, and drove one wheel out of the driveway, showing that after the U-turn failed, he was worried that the car would drive down the cliff and dare not move around.

While blocking the road on his side, Ji Ma skillfully opened the padlock of the courtyard gate with a string of lockpicking tools at a speed far exceeding that of Wei Ran.

Walking into the courtyard, the two saw the tombstones lined up in several rows at a glance. On both sides of the tombstone, there were two sculptures of dogs facing the gate.

The two looked at each other, and Wei Ran made a gesture to signal to search separately, and then went straight to the tallest house in the courtyard.

Before entering the door, Wei Ran put on the shoe covers. After prying open the locked wooden door, the first thing Wei Ran saw was a screen with a pattern of slaughtering a whale.

Going around the screen, Wei Ran looked through the sliding doors one by one, only to find that in the rooms separated by paper sliding doors, there is a shrine in each of them, and there are more or less enshrined in the shrine. There were three or five people, and some photos were placed in some rooms.

Most of these photos recorded a few ghosts in black kimonos with bare tattoos and looks like vicious dogs. However, in some larger group photos, most of the scenes recorded were slaughtering whales.

Looking from room to room, Wei Ran did not find any written records about gangs.

However, when he came to the second floor, he finally found something wrong.

On this layer of papered compartments, all kinds of pornographic scenes that need to be coded are drawn. A sliding door is opened at random, and there are a large number of pornographic photos that are obviously real shots on the paper wall.

Although there are dozens of men in these photos, there are almost no duplicates of women, and judging from the expressions of the girls in the photos, it is likely that they were not voluntary when they were photographed.

Looking patiently from room to room, all the compartments on the second floor basically have the same virtue.In the only special room, there are only boxes of rubber products that have expired for a long time.

"Hans, come to me, on the right hand side of the door." On the radio channel, Jima called out in his half-baked German, suppressing his voice.

"receive"

Wei Ran also responded in German under his throat, turned around and went downstairs to leave, meeting Jima who was waving at him.

Follow the other party into a smaller room, and in the entrance hall, there are two whaling cannons painted red on both sides.Continuing to go inside, on the display racks against the walls on both sides, there are long knives with slender wooden poles.

"Is this the gang's weapon?" Jima couldn't help muttering.

"Tools for slaughtering whales" Wei Ran explained in a low voice, and then asked, "You let me come over to see this?"

"Of course not, come with me."

After Jima finished speaking, he beckoned Wei Ran to the second floor along the wooden stairs, then opened a sliding door, pointed to the shrine in the room, and an old-fashioned safe that was opened, "That should be what you're looking for Right? When you finish reading, go to the next door, there are still a lot of things next door."

Hearing this, Wei Ran stepped forward a few steps, only to find that there was only one person enshrined in this shrine—Nagazuka Rangji!
finally found you
Wei Ran muttered to himself, this Nagatsuka is the "creator" of those two albums that recorded too many evil deeds, and Wei Ran's main purpose of coming here.

After carefully observing the shrine, besides Nagatsuka Rangji's tablet, there was also a samurai sword horizontally, but when he tried to pull the samurai sword out of the scabbard, he found that The knife had been broken in the middle, and there was no half of the blade left in the scabbard at all.

Throwing the half of the samurai sword back into its sheath temporarily, Wei Ran looked at the safe that had been pried open by Jima.

There are not many things in this safe, only a vacuum-sealed bag, a few plastic-sealed color photos, and a few pages of paper.

Picking up the vacuum-sealed bag, Wei Ran raised his eyebrows involuntarily. It contained only two brass casings of 12-gauge shotguns. Looking at the color photos, it looked like a scene from the murder scene. Record.

These photos are particularly bloody, the wooden floor is full of blood and marks left by chopping.But in this pool of blood, there was a body whose abdominal cavity had been slashed open, intestines flowed all over the floor, and half of a samurai sword was still stuck in its chest.

That is indeed a body drive, because both the head and the limbs have been cut off, and judging from the knowledge that Wei Ran has learned in Hongqi Forest Farm, this body drive must have been alive when the limbs were cut off from the elbow State, otherwise the incision will be another state.

Could this be Nagatsuka Joji?

Wei Ran couldn't help showing a smile on his face hidden under the mask, and at the same time switched to the next photo.

In this picture, it is the carcass of a whale, but inside the whale's huge mouth, it looks like a toothpick, with two bloody arms and two legs still wearing shoes.

Continue to turn back, and in the next photo, it is a javelin used by a whaling cannon. However, on the tip of this javelin, there is a large number of broken skulls that are exposed, so that it is impossible to tell the difference. A good-looking head!
In the last photo, it was a close-up of the human head. He could be sure just by looking at the broken brow bone and the incomplete bones of the forehead.This disgusting human head was likely to be thrown into the sea as bait after being smeared by the shotgun, and was eaten by small fish and shrimps for a long time as it wished.

Not only that, the barbs of the whaling javelin were firmly stuck inside the broken skull, and even one of the sharp barbs protruded from the eye socket.

Throwing these photos back into the safe, Wei Ran finally picked up those few pages, which were like a case report issued by Australia.

In this case report, the homicide occurred in the first ten days of October 1957 on the "Nagazuka Maru", a registered whaling ship. Although a total of about 10 crew members were missing, only one of them was confirmed dead. The captain, Nagatsuka, was left alone.

The most interesting thing is that in this report, although the captain's death method was extremely cruel, it was simply characterized as "infighting caused by the uneven distribution of illegal whaling".

Looking at the last page of the report, the smile on Wei Ran's face is getting bigger and bigger. This is a wanted warrant issued by the Australian police on October 1957, 10.

It's just that the 28 sailors wanted on this arrest warrant who had worked on the Nagatsuka Maru whaling ship were all devils, and there were no white people at all, let alone white people with Simpson as their surname.

that's interesting
After reading the arrest warrant happily, Wei Ran fell into doubts again. It stands to reason that since the arrest warrant did not mention white people, the Mr. Simpson who had met him in China, the story he described at the beginning There is no need for the two instigators to hide in Papua New Guinea.

No no no.
Wei Ran shook his head secretly, no matter who he changed, even if he wasn't on the arrest warrant, he might choose to hide to avoid the limelight.

After some thought, Wei Ran stuffed all the things in the safe into his backpack, took the broken knife by the way, left the room, and found Jima next door.

What he didn't expect was that there was a metal shelf in this room, on which were all microwave-sized safes next to each other.At this time, Ji Ma was concentrating on picking the locks one by one.

However, in the few safes he opened, there were all kinds of weapons, the most of which were American 1911 pistols and matching bullets and magazines.In addition, there are Sig P220 pistols produced by the devils for their masturbation teams, and the ugly Minebea submachine gun that cannot be seen directly.

"Good stuff out"

Ji Ma murmured something when he opened the last safe. Hearing this, Wei Ran looked up, only to find that the things in this not-so-big safe were all kinds of things that looked very old, and they were all gone. In addition to the famous men's watches that move around, there are two gold bars with a standard weight of 100 grams.

"Just hold the gold bar, and the rest is trouble."

Wei Ran reminded the other party, "Don't waste time, we should get out of here."

Hearing this, Ji Ma immediately picked up the two gold bars and stuffed them into his bag. Together with Wei Ran, he and Wei Ran changed all the safes that had just been opened to the same code, locked them, turned and left the house.

"Where are you going next?" Jima asked in a low voice while walking out of the Japanese courtyard.

"Australia" Wei Ran tore off the shoe cover while rejecting a gold bar handed by the other party, "Keep it for yourself, you can't come here in vain."
