War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 291 The Evil Deal

In the windy and snowy valley, Professor Jonas, who is over half a century old, stood on the sleigh, carefully put his head out of the ventilation window on the top of the tent, and carefully observed another tent not far away, as well as the space between the two tents. Those four cowering reindeer.

After hesitating for a long time, Professor Jonas withdrew his head, sat on the sleigh car and looked at Eric who was still unconscious with blood on his head.In his hand, he was holding a 1911 pistol made in Norway that had already been loaded with bullets.

"Ugh"

Professor Jonas sighed, and finally put away the pistol, turned over the medicine box they brought from the sleigh cart, and took out a small injection bottle from the interlayer of the medicine box.

"If you don't have so much curiosity, maybe I will take you to graduate and train you to be an expert in meteorology. Now, you can only stay here with your cousin and classmates forever."

While muttering, Jonas reached out to take a piece of bread from the wooden box next to the gasoline stove, broke it in half, and poured some white powder from the injection bottle into each piece of bread.

Putting the stuffed bread aside, Professor Jonas threw the mountaineering bag full of film, two reindeer skin blankets, and even Eric's small bag for cash into the sleigh.

Looking at the situation of the other tent on the opposite side again, he took out a night vision goggle from his bag that he had never shown to the other three people before and put it on his head, then carefully pushed the oil barrel away, holding the two A piece of bread got out against the strong wind and fed it to the two reindeer outside.

Seeing that they had finished eating, Professor Jonas immediately led the other two reindeer back to the door of the tent. After putting them on the sleigh, he pulled out the wooden sticks used to support the tent and poked them on the ground, then shook the reins vigorously. Skillfully steered the sleigh to rush out of the tent, and disappeared in the wind and snow.

Almost at the same time when he disappeared from sight, the tent that lost its support was also blowing and hunting in the strong wind, and soon broke free from the weight of the surrounding oil barrels, and spun around Wei Ran and Leo's tents up, and then rolled and flew into the night sky.

It wasn't just the tent that was out of control, the two reindeer who had just eaten the extra bread also howled and broke free from the rein at this time, and ran out in different directions as if mad.

Such movement outside naturally attracted the attention of Wei Ran and Leo.The two looked at each other, and the latter immediately climbed onto the sleigh to look outside, while the former was already lying down on the cold snow, watching the direction of the tent entrance vigilantly, ready to pull out his pistol and pull the trigger at any time.

After only one glance, Leo panicked and yelled something to Wei Ran, then jumped off the sleigh, pushed away the heavy oil drum and ran out.

Realizing that something was wrong, Wei Ran hurriedly got up to follow, and then saw the tied up Eric lying on the snow surrounded by oil drums, and Professor Jonas and the reindeer were all gone at this time .

Helping Leo carry the comatose Eric back to the tent, Wei Ran briefly checked Eric's injuries while Leo pressed the oil drum on the tent door again.

There was a wound on his temple that extended all the way to the base of the ear, and there seemed to be some broken glass in the wound that was bleeding continuously.

Looking around, Wei Ran took out a simple medical bag from his mountaineering bag, then stopped Leo who was about to untie the rope for Eric, and gestured for him to bring the kerosene lamp and hold it down. wounded.

After searching in the medical kit for a while, Wei Ran injected a small amount of lidocaine around Eric's wound, waited patiently for a while, and immediately started debridement and suture.Just as the first stitch was done on his side, Eric slowly opened his eyes.

"Don't move." Wei Ran hurriedly reminded, "My suture skills are not very good, so hold back and don't move. If you have the strength, why don't you tell me what's going on."

"Thank you"

Eric subconsciously touched the pocket of his trousers, and quickly told what happened not long ago, and Leo, who was next to him, also began to ask something in Norwegian, which Wei Ran could not understand.

After Wei Ran finished suturing the wound, Leo stood up with a gloomy face, picked up the shotgun and flashlight on the sleigh, put on snow goggles, hat and gloves, put on ski shoes, and went out holding the skis and poles.

"He went to find Jonas?" Wei Ran asked Eric behind him while pressing the tent door again with an oil drum.

"Yes" Eric answered Wei Ran's question with a voice that only he could hear.

Wei Ran thought for a while, and simply sat opposite Eric, asking while warming the fire, "You didn't say just now, what's in those films?"

"It seems to be just some polar hydrological information"

Eric explained in a depressed mood, "But my cousin Leo insisted that it was gold, the gold that Germany took from Finnmark during World War II, and even these days he has been trying to kill the professor and steal the other party's mountaineering bag.

I had no choice but to steal one and show it to him, but before I put the film back, the professor and Jonas discovered it, and then what happened just now happened. "

"It's just some polar hydrological information?" Wei Ran frowned upon hearing this, and muttered to himself, "That's worth more than gold of equal weight."

Eric opened his mouth and looked in the direction of the tent door worriedly. He didn't say anything more from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't hide the sad and worried expression on his face.

At the same time, Leo has already faced the strong wind, lowered his body, and chased out of the valley along the remaining sled marks on the snow. Go back to the two reindeer.

While the two sides were chasing after each other, the sled prints stretched out towards the simple pier due west of the island.Stepping on the skis and chasing after Leo in the blizzard, he quickly guessed the former's intention, but a sneer appeared on his face covered by the mask.

In this weather, the fishing boat he hired had already returned to Finnmark County, even if the other party could escape to the pier, there was no way to leave!

What's more, this bear island is high in the east and low in the west. Even with the influence of the north wind, the skis under his feet will not be much slower than the reindeer sleigh. Even because of its light weight, he can completely ignore the snow nests that can be seen everywhere. Short drive to the pier.

With this in mind, Leo let go of the whistle he had been pursing his lips, first glanced at the compass on his wrist, then poked the ski pole hard, and at the same time changed the direction slightly with his feet, and ventured straight to the direction of the pier .

On the tundra of Bear Island shrouded in polar night and blizzard, the two of them are speeding towards their common destination.

However, as he got closer to the pier, the unbelievable expression on Leo's face became more and more serious.Even though it was covered by the blizzard, he could already clearly see the simple pier covered by searchlights, and he could even see the fishing boat that was supposed to return to Finnmark before the blizzard!
"Why didn't Martin leave?"

Leo subconsciously covered the head of the L-shaped flashlight tied to his thigh, then simply turned off the flashlight, lowered his body and moved forward carefully, then lay down in the snow, using the scope on the shotgun, Looking at the movement on the fishing boat only a few tens of meters away.

Not long after, in the direction of his left, Jonas ran over slowly while steering the sled.And the captain Martin, who had been hiding in the cabin, immediately greeted him.

Leo, who was lying in the snowdrift, immediately clenched his fists, and after a little hesitation, he simply loaded the shotgun with bullets!

Seeing that the two were about to enter the cabin, Leo no longer hesitated, the scope moved between the two on board, and finally pointed at Professor Jonas and pulled the trigger decisively!
After a crisp "bang" gunshot, Professor Jonas, who was shot in the thigh, staggered and fell to the deck covered with ice shells.And the tall and fat Captain Martin raised his hands immediately upon seeing this.

Leo, who was hiding in the snow, gave a cold snort, and fired another bullet, aiming at it dozens of meters away. Professor Jonas, who was struggling on the deck, pulled the trigger again!

After the second shot, Professor Jonas was shot in the right hand, and the pistol he had just drawn slid along the ice-covered deck all the way into the sea.

"Martin, throw your gun into the sea." Leo shouted loudly after loading the third bullet.

Not knowing whether he understood or understood the current situation, the fat captain Martin immediately took off the holster under his armpit and threw it directly outside the fishing boat.

"And the knife and the revolver in your boot!"

Holding up his shotgun, Leo continued to shout as he walked towards the pier. He and Martin have known each other for more than 10 years. The two have poached polar bears together and even smuggled caviar out of the Soviet Union. What habits does Martin have? He can be said to know better than Martin's wife!
When Martin stood on the deck holding a revolver in one hand and an AK47 bayonet in the other and threw it into the sea, Leo had already reached the pier.

"What's going on?" Leo asked sullenly.

"The old guy came to me before getting off the boat"

Martin raised his hands up and said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "He said to wait for him when the first snowstorm hits, as long as I send him back to Finnmark County, I can get $[-]. If I can keep it secret from you, Get another ten thousand dollars."

"He paid?" Leo continued to ask with a gloomy face.

"not yet"

Martin continued to raise his hand, pointed to Professor Jonas who was still howling on the deck with his chin, and said, "But he said he would definitely pay, otherwise I can send him back and ask your rich cousin for it." This money."

"Kneel with your back to me," Leo said coldly, "Martin, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, don't force me to shoot."

On the ice-covered deck of the fishing boat, the tall and fat Martin knelt down with his back to Leo without hesitation, and put his hands on the deck railing especially on the road.

After staring at Martin's back in silence for a long time, Leo moved his gun against Professor Jonas's chest, and asked with a cold face, "Professor Jonas, can you understand Norwegian?"

"There is no problem with simple communication," Professor Jonas replied with a gasp.

"I need you to explain"

"Explain what?"

Professor Jonas struggled to sit up, "I have helped your cousin find the meteorological information he wanted, I just injured him, not killed him, and even less of you, I just wanted to bring What’s the explanation for leaving early with what belongs to me?”

Leo punched the former's chest with the muzzle of a gun, "Then explain what you secretly took away?"

Jonas reached out and grabbed the gun, and replied stubbornly, "It's just some personal belongings left by my father."

"A personal item left by your father?" Leo put his finger on the trigger, "I'll give you one last chance to explain what exactly you stole."

"$100"

Jonas said abruptly, "You and Martin sent me back to Finnmark alive, and I will give you 100 million dollars. You see, this blizzard will take at least a week, enough for you to send me back, and then Come back here with a million dollars. Just tell your cousin Eric that I was not found"

"boom!"

Before Jonas could finish his sentence, there was a crisp gunshot on the deck.Leo turned his head in astonishment to look at Martin who was holding a 1911 pistol in the distance, then looked down at his blood-stained chest, and then fell to the deck with his head up.

"How did you kill him?!" Jonas stared at the indifferent Captain Martin with rounded eyes.

"As long as you kill him, no one will share the 100 million dollars with me." Martin walked up to Leo and squatted down, pressed the muzzle of the pistol against the latter's chest, and pulled the trigger again.

Until it was confirmed that Leo was completely dead, Captain Martin held the muzzle of the gun still stained with his friend's blood against Jonas, "Except that the 100 million dollars is mine, and in order to save you, I reluctantly killed my good friend. You're paying an extra million dollars for this, do you have an issue?"

"You're a murderer!" Jonas said coldly.

"Yes, so I don't mind killing one more person"

Captain Martin picked up Leo's shotgun and threw it a little farther away, "Old man, this is Norway, to be more precise, it's Bear Island, which the police can't even control.

As it happens, I'm not good Leo or his nerdy cousin either.So if you want to survive, it's better to know what's in your backpack and how much it's worth before the blood runs dry. "

"At least $500 million"

Jonas looked coldly at the greedy Captain Martin, "It contains the hydrographic information of Germany's surveying and mapping of the Arctic Ocean during World War II. If you don't worry about being approached by the KGB of the Soviet Union, just take it."

"Aren't you worried?" Martin looked at Professor Jonas and asked.

"Worried, of course worried."

Professor Jonas looked at the blood on his hand, "That's why I used Eric to come to Bear Island, but now you idiot killed his brother."

"Who said his brother is dead?"

Captain Martin patted Leo's increasingly cold cheeks, "Didn't he sell the film he stole from you and run away? The dead are Professor Jonas and Captain Martin."

Hearing this, Professor Jonas's eyes lit up first, then he looked at the greedy Captain Martin hesitantly, and said after hesitating for a long time, "You'd better let me live, otherwise you don't want to see the man I contacted in advance. buyer."

"Of course, of course I will let you survive, and I will rush back to Finnmark as quickly as possible."

As Captain Martin spoke, he pulled Professor Jonas up and helped him into the warm cabin. On the deck, Leo's body gradually froze and gradually froze with the deck.
