War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 269 Finishing work at the end of July
During the nearly ten days in the lunatic asylum, Wei Ran's life was worse than death. It can even be said that he was almost on the verge of being driven crazy every day, and every night, he had to fight with those real people. The psychopath fights wits and courage.

God knows where this psychiatric hospital headed by Gorman came from, after he spent a whole day memorizing the names of all the nurses and the mental patients they were in charge of.Wei Ran was horrified to discover that among the total 64 mental patients in this hospital, as many as 14 of them had a black history of violence and wounding.

Among the 14 patients, 6 had their medical records clearly marked as having antisocial personality, and they were all sent by the government to receive compulsory psychiatric treatment after committing crimes.

One of Wei Ran's jobs is to observe these six patients, chat with them, imitate their behavior, and even become friends with them to learn their thinking logic.

In addition, according to Gorman's request, he had to guide these six delinquent bastards to accomplish certain things, and even slept in the same room with these six people at night, not only to observe how they behaved Find ways to hurt others and yourself, and be on guard at any time to stop them before they really succeed.

As for the so-called torture and anti-torture courses, it made him understand the horror of Gorman in a real sense.

Almost every morning, Gorman would take him to the basement of the hospital and let him experience various desperate methods of torture.And what he needs to do is to hold on to the content written on a note randomly drawn every day for as long as possible.

During these ten days, Wei Ran truly experienced the pain between despair and hope again and again.Compared with these pains, the little damage that Gorman inflicted on him became insignificant.

Seeing that there was only half an afternoon left before the end of the month, Gorman brought Wei Ran to his office, handed him a cup of hot coffee with a smile on his face, and asked slowly after sitting down, "How many more hours are there for practice?" It's almost over, how do you feel?"

"I will never come to Kirov again." Wei Ran shivered subconsciously, and at the same time gave an answer that satisfied Gorman.

"I hope you don't abuse these outdated things. Of course, these things require a lot of practice materials. From this point of view, I can't provide you with them. So what you can master is only some useless theories. .”

Gorman took a sip from his coffee cup and said slowly, "But even so, if you let me know that you plan to practice on innocent ordinary people, I will ask Dahlia and that bastard Karp to send you to I am here to let you spend the rest of your life in this hospital with those lunatics."

"Don't worry, these are not what I want to learn."

Wei Ran said angrily, if he was still in high spirits ten days ago, then now, he would have already regretted it, why he didn't want to find a way to catch Gorman's other companions, and then fled directly back to Hongqi Forest Farm.

"I know, I know, it's all Dahlia's fault, after all, she made the decision for you, didn't she?"

Gorman made a perfunctory reassurance, and then handed over a plane ticket to Volgograd, "I hope this uncomfortable experience will not leave you with any psychological shadow. Alright, young man, You can leave now, and I hope that we will not have the opportunity to meet in the future."

"I also hope that you will have a happy life in the days to come." Wei Ran took the ticket, got up and left the office neatly.

It wasn't until the thick wooden door was taken by Wei Ran from the outside that a smile appeared on Gorman's face, and he muttered to himself, "So what exactly is your hope?"

Wei Ran, who left the mental hospital as if fleeing for his life, naturally would not hear Gorman's last question. After he rushed to the airport in the taxi that the other party had contacted for him in advance, he immediately bought a ticket to fly to Turin, Italy. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed it to Jima.

"Where are you?" Wei Ran asked directly after the call was connected.

"Finland, we just finished a week of performance training, and now we are looking for a place to drink." Jima responded in the background of loud and violent music, "Where have you been? I haven't heard from you for half a month."

"Don't mention the half-month experience"

Wei Ran grinned and changed the subject, "If you have time, hurry to Turin, Italy as soon as possible, I need your help with something."

"Are you in a hurry?" Ji Ma asked on the other end of the phone in a quieter environment.

Wei Ran thought for a while, offered a price and said, "It's worth two thousand euros, and a three-day trip to Turin, Italy. If you don't think you need the money and this trip, you can come later."

"I'm going to buy a plane ticket now! Turin, right? Who do I contact when we arrive?" Jima replied without thinking. Two thousand euros is still not a small amount of money for him today, let alone a wish vacation opportunities.

"I will arrive probably tomorrow. If you are later than me, you can call me when you arrive. If you are earlier than me, just wait for me at the airport."

"No problem, boss, see you at Turin Airport!" Ji Ma hung up the phone before finishing his sentence.

Looking through the missed calls in the past few days due to the shutdown, Wei Ran called back the old British man Charlotte and Sui Sui respectively.

The former didn't have any serious business, just asked him if he had found out the whereabouts of the German reporter Pell and others, while Sui Sui was just showing off and thanking him.

As early as a month ago, Wei Ran gave Suisui the contact information of Charlotte and the red-haired female tour guide Feng Shufen.

What he didn't expect was that this little thing actually took a group of her classmates and teachers to Loch Ness for a week.As for the harvest, just look at the photo she sent of the China-made car that was about the size of a toy.

In addition, Sui Sui also expresses openly and secretly that she plans to pull her fat sheep classmates out one week before the end of the summer vacation. After playing for a while, I hope Wei Ran can recommend another travel agency of her family to her. Out of a destination that is not there.

Too lazy to pay attention to this idiot who fell into the eyes of money, Wei Ran saw that the time was almost up, so he simply hung up the phone and walked into the security checkpoint.

It took a whole day to arrive in Turin, Italy. Wei Ran found a hotel to stay and rested for a night. Early the next morning, after dressing up in disguise, he rushed to the Gubijing pasta restaurant with its gate locked. nearby.

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, he put on a pair of rubber gloves, took out the key, and opened the shutter door that was covered with various small advertisements and rental telephones.

I haven't been here for a month, and there is only a small stainless steel box in the restaurant. Inside, there are 50 rounds of polished bullets that are densely covered with a large number of fragment grooves, fixed with buffer sponges.

Compared with the two samples obtained last time, the quality of the bullets delivered by Tasi at least seems to be much higher.Of course, it is still necessary to find a chance to test-fire and verify how effective they are when they are actually used.

Satisfied with putting the remaining bullets with the smell of disinfectant into the food box, Wei Ran looked at the time and guessed that Jima would land soon, so he immediately cleaned up the camouflage on his face and set off for the airport.

Almost at the same time as he walked to the pick-up gate, Ji Ma, who was wearing a floral shirt and beach pants, also came out with a huge suitcase.

"Long time no see, brother!" Ji Ma took off his pretentious toad mirror, and greeted Wei Ran warmly.

"It seems that you are ready for vacation." Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Ji Ma grinned silly, followed Wei Ran out of the airport, and asked in a low voice, "What do I need?"

"First you need to find a translator yourself"

Wei Ran said and handed a stack of euros prepared in advance and a piece of A4 paper folded in half to the other party, "This is three thousand euros, two thousand of which are your errand expenses, and the other one thousand euros are for your vacation here. expenses."

"Where is this piece of paper?" Jima said as he opened the half-folded A4 paper.

"After you find the translator, let the translator take you to the address on the A4 paper. Then contact the landlord according to the rental information on the address, and then I will give you the business."

As Wei Ran said, he roughly told the desert story about the oil barrel, and finally handed his room card to the other party, and continued, "According to my investigation, the landlord of this Gubijing pasta restaurant should They are people who survived the North African desert. You need to ask who is the descendant of the survivors in that restaurant.

In addition, you have to ask the other party's opinion, and ask them if they would like to meet or try to contact Mr. Charlotte in England. "

"That's all?" Jima asked, putting away the note.

Wei Ran nodded, and finally said, "That's all, remember to be polite, don't force them, and call me after asking them what they think."

"If they ask me where I found the information, how should I answer?" Jima asked carefully.

"Let's say that your boss, that is, me, read the information in a memoir obtained from a member of a German anti-war organization, but don't reveal that I have been to Italy."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Ji Ma patted his chest and agreed, "Where are you going next?"

"Of course I'm going back to Volgograd"

While speaking, Wei Ran turned his head and walked back to the waiting hall, "My flight takes off in two hours, if you can't reach me, just send me a message."

"I haven't found a translator yet!" Jima hurriedly caught up and said, "Where's the translator you used before?"

"has flown away"

Wei Ran didn't stop at all, and said nonsense, "I checked all the way from Germany, and now I have to go back to do other things, and I'll leave it to you Jima here, I wish you good luck."

"You are such a good boss"

Ji Ma touched the wad of cash in his pocket, and before Wei Ran walked into the waiting hall, he took out the translation software on his mobile phone, and after writing down what he wanted to ask, he randomly walked to a person who looked the most beautiful girl.
