War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 61 Is it okay to go this far?
"These... all of them?"

Wei Ran stared dumbfounded at the large box full of medical files that he and the two gangsters had specially picked out. There must be at least seventy or eighty copies?It is quite normal for a doctor to consult one or two hundred patients, but it is not easy for a doctor to kill seventy or eighty patients who have consulted him.

"If there is no accident, it should be all there."

Nicholas recalled, "Ampule's work efficiency is very high, and he also has some one-line helpers in his hands. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are some false information mixed in it."

"Maybe these medical files are the breakthrough point." Wei Ran looked at the old site full of two big boxes and fell into deep thought.

"That's what I thought at first"

Nicholas picked up a file and explained, "We have compared the list of tasks that have been completed, and they are all consistent with those recorded in these medical files. I just don't know why he didn't destroy these things, but kept them at risk. , and it was brought all the way from West Berlin to Bonn."

"What can you tell from this?"

Wei Ran picked up a file with a lot of ink stains on it, except for the page number and a few fragments of words, it could be seen clearly, and the other parts were all pitch black and nothing could be seen.

"The same medical file KGB has also been filed, and I will find it for you later and take it away together. As long as you compare the handwriting that can still be read, you can basically find the corresponding target person based on these.

Most of those who were successfully assassinated were those who survived the Nuremberg trial by chance. They received the support of the Americans after the war, and a considerable part of them regained their leadership positions in West Berlin.

In order to avoid the resurgence of the fragile Germany, in addition to dealing with those Yankees in Germany, hunting them was also one of the main tasks. "

Listening to Nicholas' introduction, Wei Ran became more and more suspicious that there was something wrong with the medical files that he accidentally found.But fortunately, I may not really need to follow this clue, so I temporarily suppressed the doubts in my heart, threw the files in my hand into the box and said, "If this is the case, let me take them all away, Niguo." Mr. La, I'm afraid it will take me a long time to digest so much information, especially since I don't speak German yet."

"Do you need a German translator for you?" Nicholas thought for a while, "How is Karp?"

"No need for now." Wei Ran hurriedly refused, joking, he tried his best to take these things back to study, just to avoid the two of them.

"If you need any help, you can always ask."

"Really?" Wei Ran looked at the old man who was about to turn around and leave, "Mr. Nicholas, can you find some self-defense weapons?"

"Self-defense weapon?" Nicholas looked Wei Ran up and down, and asked with great interest, "What kind of self-defense weapon do you want?"

"Self-defense weapons used by KGB." Wei Ran deliberately showed an expectant expression, "Thanks to your recommendation, I will go to Hongqi Forest Farm to study with Mr. Karp in a few days, so I think."

Nicholas looked at Wei Ran with a strange expression for a long time, then waved his hand cheerfully, "Come with me!"

Hearing this, Wei Ran hurriedly threw the things in his hands on the table, and then called the gangsters who were waiting outside the window on the first floor to come up and continue to move things, then he followed Nicholas to the other end of the corridor and locked them one by one. s room.

"Take it yourself." Nicholas opened the anti-theft door with the key, then turned and walked to another room, "I'll go and send the backup file to the truck."

Regardless of Nicholas who left on his own, Wei Ran's attention was all attracted by the spacious room where the conference table was still placed.

Looking around, the iron shelves fixed on the four walls are covered with various types of long and short guns, including underwater pistols.And on that long table, technological equipment such as night vision goggles were neatly placed on half of the place, and bundles of dollars, rubles, euros, and even renminbi were placed on the other half!

This old man is so rich? !
Wei Ran stared blankly at the cash on the table, then looked up at the old-fashioned camera fixed on the wall, then raised his neck and focused on those weapons.

He asked Nikolai for a self-defense weapon, not to prepare for learning from Karp, but to go back to the Cold War era!

Now there is still a vortex with a bayonet in the notebook. If you can use that radio to go back to the 80s this time, naturally you can’t waste that position. Even the vortex that has been equipped with a pistol needs to be replaced with a better weapon. .

After turning back and forth four or five times, Wei Ran finally took down a PSS micro-sound pistol of the same model as Nikola's and a VSS micro-sound sniper rifle placed directly above the pistol from the wall.

According to his understanding and the influence of the spy war movies he has seen, whether it is the secret agent or the KGB, the secret front will definitely use silent weapons.

Before he could find the matching bullets, Nicholas had already walked in from the door, "You young man is quite discerning, unlike that ignorant bastard Jima who only thinks about which gun has the cheapest bullets. Good for hunting."

"Uh..." Wei Ran raised the weapon he had just selected, "You don't plan to let me buy bullets by myself, do you?"

"Even if I give you money, I'm afraid you don't know where to buy it, especially if you are not a Russian."

While talking, Nicholas walked to the corner to open the locked iron cabinet, took out two cardboard boxes containing empty magazines, and two large boxes of plastic-sealed bullets and placed them on the table.

Wei Ran smiled and said nothing, took out a row of bullets fixed together with clips from the cardboard box, and skillfully pressed them into the empty magazine.

At the same time, Nikolai also explained, "Most of these guns and bullets are Soviet stock products that I bought from Ukraine five years ago. It doesn't matter if you use them to kill people."

"I don't have the guts." Wei Ran hurriedly waved his hands in denial.

"It seems that I will let Karp focus on teaching you how to lie in the future."

Nicholas teased Wei Ran meaningfully, reached out from another cardboard box and took out a magazine for a 20-round VSS micro-sniper sniper rifle, and pressed all the bullets into it neatly. , knocked on the edge of the table before throwing it to Wei Ran, "Use this kind of 20 rounds capacity, this kind of gun can be fired in bursts. Even if you can't hit the head, at least you have a chance to kill the opponent with firepower suppression."

"I'm really for self-defense." Wei Ran confused the topic in a pale tone. He had discovered that it might be harder to successfully lie in front of this old guy who is about to turn 90 than it is for the Poles to win the war by betting.

Nicholas threw the second loaded magazine to Wei Ran, "Now that you are ready to shoot, don't make excuses for pulling the trigger."

"You're right, you're right."

Wei Ran didn't bother to explain to the other party, he randomly stuffed four loaded magazines into his pocket, took the selected weapon and was about to go out, "I need to sleep first, and I have to go back to Volgograd at night."

"Take the pistol away, but keep the rifle." Nicholas picked up a magazine and randomly loaded a few bullets into it. "I'll help you calibrate the gun. These things haven't been used since I bought them."

"Then why did you buy them?" Wei Ran happily handed the weapon in his hand to the other party.

"For self-defense" Nicholas returned Wei Ran's excuse just now.

"You are right"

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he ran out of the room in a hurry.Behind him, Nicholas swiftly raised the rifle with the magazine just loaded, aimed at the basketball stand on the playground outside the window, and pulled the trigger.

After the sunset, Ji Ma, who had had enough sleep, became alive and well again, and dragged Wei Ran, who had completely sobered up, into the cab of the truck.

Under Nikolai's gaze, the dirty truck left the abandoned school hidden in the forest in the setting sun, and drove along the riverside road towards Volgograd.

In the smoky cab, Jima, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, said abruptly, "Victor, although you don't know what you are doing to help Principal Nicholas, you must not disappoint him."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Although Wei Ran swears in his mouth, he has no confidence in his heart.Whether the radio station with bullet holes in the car behind him can send him back to the Cold War era is questionable.

Even if I can really send it back, apart from being able to say "I'm from Hebei", I don't even know how to pronounce the German alphabet. If I really send myself to West Germany in the 80s, plus my Asian appearance, I'm afraid Not at all safer than the battlefields of World War II.

But what is more dangerous than these is the investigation of a KGB who was responsible for assassinating the fragile KGB under the general environment back then. The difficulty can almost be expected to be completely hellish.

Do you want to delay for a while?
Wei Ran murmured in his heart, among other things, at least he had to learn some life-saving skills from Karp first, or at least learn German.But neither of these two things can be achieved in a short period of time, and Nicholas obviously can't wait that long.

In the midst of Wei Ran's entanglement, at noon the next day, Ji Ma drove the car again to the open space in front of the door that had been renamed "Time Studio".

"You can figure out a way to unload the car. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Ji Ma turned off the engine, took out the studio key that Wei Ran had given him from his pocket, opened the shutter door, took a carton of milk from the refrigerator, and went straight into Wei Ran's bedroom .

"I don't think of myself as an outsider"

Wei Ran, who slept all the way, shook his head dumbfoundingly. After jumping out of the cab, he called a group of men and women from the travel agency next door, and moved all the large and small boxes and various sundries in the car into the work room. room.

Now in this studio are not these things brought back from a long distance, even Nikolai's old Harley is temporarily placed in it, so that the originally spacious space suddenly becomes not much room to step down.

Using a large box of pies bought on the way to send off the hairy boys who came to help, Wei Ran closed the shutter door and turned on the lights, and then carried the radio station that he paid special attention to to the workbench.

After checking the model number on the panel, Wei Ran was surprised to find that the AEG SE-6861 short-wave radio with bullet holes in his hand was a high-tech product of West Germany at that time, not only assembled by West Germany's own special forces With this kind of radio station, even the military of the United States, Britain and the Netherlands are its loyal customers.

On the other hand, with this 20-watt radio equipment, the communication distance can easily reach 1500 kilometers. This distance, let alone East Berlin, is not a problem even if it is directly transmitted to the territory of the Soviet Union at that time.

And most importantly, this small machine, which is not too big, can even prepare messages offline.To put it simply, it is like editing a text message on a mobile phone with a disconnected network and signal in advance, then connecting to the network to send it, and disconnecting the network immediately after sending it.

This does not seem like a big deal today, after all, any mobile phone can do it, but at that time it greatly reduced the risk of being exposed to the side of the radio.

It was precisely because of these many high-tech functions at the time that although this radio was not considered spy equipment, it was widely used in the spy confrontation activities of the two camps during the Cold War era.

But another question arose from this. This equipment belonged to the NATO camp at that time, so how did that ampoule get it?Was it provided by KGB, or has he found a new boss?

Without wasting brain cells on this matter, Wei Ran directly called Nicholas, and he believed that the other party would definitely give him an accurate answer.

On the phone, after the two communicated, Wei Ran hung up the phone and refocused on the radio station.According to Nikolai, the intelligence agents operating in Germany at the time used a mixed bag of transmission equipment.

From the Altai communication system (the mobile phone invented by the Soviet Union), which was just put into use in the Soviet Union at that time, to the British and American spy equipment obtained through various channels, even the radio system used by the German army during World War II and even the oldest carrier pigeon are still in use. important role.

And the radio station used by the ampoule was seized after he repeatedly assassinated those in the West German Federal Intelligence Agency. At that time, he even sent one to Nikolai in East Berlin for underground contact.

But Nicholas' explanation not only did not solve Wei Ran's doubts, but made him more and more suspicious.

If the radio equipment used by Nikolai at that time was provided by Ampoule, then once this Ampoule had other careful thoughts, the information he sent back from West Berlin might not only be received by Nikolai, but even him. Whether the information sent back is true or false must be questioned.

What Wei Ran could think of, Nicholas naturally thought of it, but the inconsistency is that the information sent back by the ampoule has been verified in the subsequent historical process, in other words, the information he sent back is indeed genuine. of.

From this point alone, the ampoule did not betray.But why did he kill Nikolai's family?

Just a radio device doubled the doubts in Wei Ran's mind, and those medical files that hadn't had time to look through might hide so many secrets.

"Do you want to ask Professor Alexei to come back and help?" Wei Ran just pressed this thought in his mind, and then he pressed it again.

When he decided to help Nicholas investigate the whereabouts of the ampoule, he put his mind on the leather notebook. After all, this investigation involved the mysterious KGB. Professor Sai can solve it by looking through the public information.

But he also had to think about what excuse he should use to explain the whole thing to Nicholas and even Karp, who will become his teacher soon listen.

After thinking about it, Wei Ran buckled the box containing the radio station, bent down and found a fishing tackle bag from a pile of sundries, which contained the weapons borrowed from Nicholas yesterday.

After unplugging the monitoring power supply and using a chair to hold the door handle of the stairs leading upstairs, Wei Ran opened the fishing tackle bag and took out the weapon, and then summoned the cowhide notebook.

However, before he could react, the cowhide notebook had already spread out on the table of the workbench, and then the metal quill floated up on its own, drawing a radio station on the fourth page !
Wei Ran turned his head dully to look at the radio station seven or eight meters away that was packed in a suitcase, then looked at the drawing that was about to be completed on the leather notebook, and finally looked at the weapon still in his hand without tears, "Special Why is it so far away?"
