War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 637 The Answer Given by Columbus
I waited patiently all night on this grassland where large predators appear anytime and anywhere.At ten o'clock the next morning, an off-road vehicle and a hunting truck drove side by side into Wei Ran's field of vision through the telescope.

At this time, he was hiding on a small high ground opposite the water pool. The straight-line distance from the tables and chairs he found last night was about one kilometer. Not only was the terrain higher, but there was also a calm water pool in the middle. Even the sun is right behind Wei Ran.

Putting away the binoculars, Wei Ran looked back at the herd of zebras not far away, and then at the herd of wildebeest wandering in the other direction, then calmly kicked the cannon of the anti-tank gun to help the hoe , Lie down and put your eyes behind the scope.

Compared with the telescope with a wide field of view, the scope of the high-power scope originally used for air defense is naturally not wide enough, but fortunately, it can see more clearly, allowing him to easily see the mouth of the white driver of the hunting truck. cigarette dangling.

While he waited patiently, the two vehicles stopped one after another under the tree by the pool, and the hunting truck also got off four white men with assault rifles on their backs, and swiftly set up a mosquito net under the tree. Gauze.

Immediately afterwards, the four white men busily moved a beer keg and some food and drink from the cargo compartment of the truck and put them into the gauze tent.

Until this time, the two dogs and men on the off-road vehicle got out of the vehicle unhurriedly, each carrying a snatching box, talking and laughing, and walked into the arranged gauze curtain.

Until then, the two finally took off the masks on their faces. At this point, Wei Ran was finally sure that these two men and women were the Columbus Bruno and his lover he was looking for.

Slightly moving the muzzle of the gun, after a short while, the hunting truck and the open-top off-road vehicle had already driven to the other side of the tree, except for a black man in a suit standing outside the gauze and talking Besides, the other five people had already gathered at the back of the truck, and they seemed to be sharing something from a person's hand at this time.

"It's your fault that you followed the wrong boss, I'm sorry."

While muttering to himself, Wei Ran pulled the gun release button. With a crisp sound of "click", a 80mm caliber high-explosive bomb produced in Finland in the 20s was smoothly pushed into the chamber.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening muffled gunshots, the strong recoil force was transmitted into the ground by the hoe firmly poked into the soil, and the zebras and wildebeests not far from Wei Ran also subconsciously fled in loud noises.

In the high-power scope of the anti-tank gun, at the rear of the hunting truck, the five white men who had just lit their cigars fell to the ground one after another in a cloud of blood, and one of them was even cut in half.

"Sunrise and sunset with the African savannah"

Wei Ran was muttering to himself as if nervously, at the same time the index finger and middle finger of his right hand exerted force at the same time, pulled the trigger that seemed to have shuddered, and fired a high-explosive bomb at the hunting truck again!

"Someone is going to get shot!"

While speaking the second half of the sentence, Wei Ran had already moved his gun to point at the black man in a suit who was subconsciously about to run towards the off-road vehicle.

Almost at the same time as he was about to open the car door, the third high-explosive bomb arrived as scheduled and hit him hard on the head.

In Wei Ran's field of vision, the black man who was shot immediately turned into a headless corpse, and even the windshield of the off-road vehicle was shattered into dross.

Move the muzzle of the gun and aim the scope at the gauze curtain. After a while, the table has been overturned to block Wei Ran's shooting range.

Seeing this, Wei Ran picked up the walkie-talkie at hand and greeted in English in a low voice, "Good morning, Mr. Columbus. If you think that table can block the shells that can penetrate armored vehicles, you can continue to hide." Inside. If you feel that you can't stop it, kneel by the pool with your hands up with the woman next to you."

As he released the launch button, Wei Ran's warning came from the walkie-talkie taped to the bottom of the table.

"who are you?"

Listening to Columbus' inquiry on the intercom, Wei Ran said in English with a hoarse voice, "I am the father of Rael, the king of the universe and the messenger of light from the M78 nebula, now I give you five seconds to hurry up!" get out."

Released the launch button again, and before Wei Ran could complete the countdown to five, Columbus and his lover walked out of the gauze tent with their hands raised high, and knelt obediently by the pool.

"Very well, now take off all your clothes, and I will send someone to take you away."

After Wei Ran released the launch button, he aimed at the gauze again, aimed at the table and pulled the trigger decisively.

After the dull gunshot, the table was immediately overturned and knocked to the ground under the huge energy of the high-explosive bomb. At the same time, the aluminum alloy tabletop also blasted a hideous big hole. The barrel of beer was also affected, splashed with liquor, rolled, and flew out wrapped in the torn gauze.

Obviously, this real threat was more useful than anything else, and Columbus' lover immediately began to take off his hunting clothes after a terrified scream.

Columbus next to him hesitated for a moment, and finally put the walkie-talkie aside, and reluctantly began to undress.

At the same time, Wei Ran also put away the anti-tank gun, picked up the shell casings around him and put them in the food box, and took out the P226 pistol from the farm, and then ran into the off-road vehicle parked on the other side of the slope, Stepped on the accelerator and drove over.

When he drove to the vicinity of the two of Columbus, the two were already naked and naked, and at the same time, a strong smell of blood could be smelled around them.

Without worrying about the two captives who were still kneeling by the pool with their hands raised high, Wei Ran switched the night vision device to the thermal imaging mode, and carefully observed around the hunting truck and the off-road vehicle until he was sure There were no survivors, so he put on a pair of rubber gloves and a pair of thick rubber-soled shoe covers and got out of the car.

Going straight to the rear of the hunting truck, Wei Ran carefully searched the bodies of those few corpses, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The firepower of these people is definitely not weak. In addition to the R5 rifle that belongs to the local market in South Africa, there is actually an NTW-20 anti-material rifle in the cargo compartment.

Compared with Wei Ran's anti-tank gun, this big guy who also uses 20mm caliber ammunition may have the only inferiority, and it is just that the ammunition used is slightly lower.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran jumped onto the cargo bed, pulled the anti-materiel rifle off, carried it with difficulty into the trunk of his off-road vehicle, and then picked up dozens of high-explosive rounds and threw them into the car.

Finally, I went to look around the open SUV. Apart from digging out a satellite phone from the pocket of the headless black man, the only thing Wei Ran found was a phone placed at the foot of the SUV. It's just a computer bag and a set of satellite broadband terminals in the trunk.

I took out the Apple laptop inside and looked at it. Fortunately, like the satellite phone, it was not affected by the high-explosive bomb, and even the portable broadband device was still providing the network at this time.

Putting all these things into the trunk of his off-road vehicle and putting them away, Wei Ran walked to the edge of the pool unhurriedly.

"Turn around" Wei Ran gave the order with a hoarse voice at a distance of five or six meters from the opponent.

Hearing this, Columbus and his lover subconsciously stood up.

"Bang!" Wei Ran decisively aimed at the less than one-meter-wide gap between the two and pulled the trigger. Amidst the crisp gunshots, the flying bullets poked a fleeting hole in the smelly mud. .

After the gunshot, the two who were just about to stand up knelt down again and turned their naked bodies around little by little.

With just one glance, Wei Ran saw the blue evil screaming tattoo on the woman's chest that was the size of a teacup.

Looking at Columbus again, this old man who is at least 60 years old has maintained a good figure, but his face is already full of panic.

"Stand up and move forward"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already pulled out two pairs of handcuffs from his pocket, "Before I ask a question, if either of you makes a sound, I don't mind throwing you here to feed the lions."

After the two men were handcuffed with their hands turned backwards, Wei Ran carefully checked their clothes, took away a mobile phone and a revolver, and finally walked to the edge of the gauze, and took a look. After careful inspection to determine that there was nothing to destroy, the infrared camera fixed to the tree was removed.

Deliberately not letting these two people put on their clothes, Wei Ran pushed them into the off-road vehicle, stepped on the accelerator and drove back to the position where he just sniped them.

Under the horrified gaze of the two of Columbus, Wei Ran placed the NTW-20 anti-materiel rifle he had just seized in the firing position, and asked while aiming at the wreckage of the car on the other side of the pool, "Mr. Columbus, is this weapon used?" What is it for?"

"Hunting. Hunting elephants." Columbus stammered to answer Wei Ran's question.

"Just to hunt elephants?" Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party's answer after asking, and then aimed at the corpse at the rear of the hunting truck and pulled the trigger again.

Wei Ran didn't remove the magazine until he finished firing three bullets in a magazine, and looked at Columbus while re-pressing the high-explosive bomb into it.

"There are also rhinos and giraffes." Columbus gave the second answer.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Wei Ran asked as he lit the magazine in his hand.

"My hunting is legal, and I paid for it! And I have an official hunting license!" Columbus said in a panic, "Although I have prepared these weapons, I haven't used them yet!"

Wei Ran smiled when he heard this, and fired three high-explosive rounds at the broken corpse at the rear of the truck again, then reloaded the bullets, moved the muzzle to point at the off-road vehicle and the black corpse next to it, and repeatedly tapped the trigger .

Rubbing his slightly sore shoulders, Wei Ran glanced at Columbus, who was sitting naked and slumped on the ground not far away, moved his gun again, aimed at the gauze tent, and shot at the beer barrel a little further away. Several rounds.

Taking out a wet towel from his pocket and carefully wiping the anti-tank weapon, Wei Ran waved at the naked woman, "Come here and shoot the last bullet at your car, if you can hit the front of the car , I can let you put on your clothes, and if you behave more obediently next, I don't even mind letting you go."

Hearing this, the naked woman's eyes lit up, she hurried over to ask Wei Ran to help uncuff her handcuffs, lay down on the ground and fired a bullet at the already battered off-road vehicle.

“Good head”

Wei Ran praised the other party gently, and led him to the side of the off-road vehicle, "Put on your clothes."

The woman who didn't know why heard the words and immediately dug out the clothes that belonged to her from the pile of clothes and put them on her body one by one, and then let Wei Ran lean her hand against the trailer hitch.

"Mr. Columbus, it's time to talk about the things between us."

Wei Ran patted Columbus on the shoulder, and led him to an unknown tree in the distance.

"I came to see you to talk about your hospital."

"My hospital?"

A flash of panic appeared on Columbus's face, and he said with some pride, "Tell me, how much money do you need to let me go?"

Wei Ran smiled and looked at Columbus whose face changed dramatically, "Why don't you tell me about your relationship with that evil screaming organization first?"

"Do you think it makes sense to kidnap me?"

Columbus suddenly calmed down, and said with sarcasm in his tone, "Or, do you think you can survive?"

"Who knows"

Wei Ran shrugged, "I'm just doing things with money, and I'm just curious. So, Mr. Columbus, can you answer me a few irrelevant questions?"

"What's the problem?" Columbus asked coldly.

"What happened to the human bone specimens on the desk in that farm?"

With a smile on his face, Wei Ran asked a trivial question, but it was actually just to erode the opponent's psychological defense a little bit.

"That's my brother's bone"

After hesitating for a moment, Columbus gave an answer that Wei Ran hadn't expected, "He was the child of my father and a woman who was younger than my son. When I found him, he was already six years old."

Speaking of this, Columbus smiled a little maniacally, "So I killed him, made specimens of his bones and placed them in the farm my father gave to that woman, and sent that woman to India."

"Ms. Olivia?" Wei Ran asked casually.

"It seems that you went to the basement?" Columbus immediately realized something.

"Yes, and I opened the safe and found the CD inside."

After Wei Ran answered the other party's question, he immediately asked, "Where's the patched human bone specimen in your office? Who is he?"

"The man who killed my son with his car"

Columbus, who was pretending to be calm, asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"

"You have no right to ask questions"

Wei Ran shook the weapon in his hand, and after the other party realized his situation, he continued to ask, "Next question, where did those children come from?"

"5 million dollars, how about letting me go?"

Columbus looked at Wei Ran and asked, "If you can tell me who hired you to do these things, I can give you an extra $5 million."

"This old-fashioned bribe is fine, I'm in a hurry."

Before Wei Ran could finish his sentence, he had already supported the opponent's chin, pinched and tugged vigorously, and with the crisp sound of "click", Columbus also let out a scream.

"Now let's start over"

Wei Ran pinched the opponent's dislocated chin, and helped him put it back with a crisp "click".

"Where did those children come from? You'd better explain it in detail, starting from the idea." Wei Ran, who had already turned on the recording pen secretly, continued to ask with a smile.

"Raelian Movement"

Columbus panicked and replied, "At first they bought them from their lower-level believers, some of them were their own children, and some were children they robbed."

"Who is leading this matter?"

"It's my father." Columbus, who gradually calmed down, said reluctantly, "He"

Before Columbus finished speaking, Wei Ran picked off the opponent's chin again, and then helped him put it back with a crisp sound that made his teeth ache, and waited patiently until the opponent stopped screaming, and then reminded, " You'd better be more positive, and don't have too much hesitation in your tone. Mr. Columbus, the job I received is just to ask some answers from you, but if your service attitude makes me dissatisfied, I also wouldn't mind killing you after I got the answer."

After deliberately pausing for a moment, Wei Ran continued to ask slowly, "Now let's continue, what's your father's name?"

"Ian Bruno," Columbus quickly replied.

Wei Ran nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, let's continue."

"He is a very good doctor"

Columbus resisted the soreness of his cheeks and replied nervously, "Later, one of his French friends invited him to join the Raelian movement in the early 80s. Of course, they didn't really intend to believe those ridiculous things. Dogma, it’s just that you can play with women casually, all kinds of women, especially underage children.”

"Just like that?" Wei Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party.

Columbus panicked, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all, "It was true in the first ten years, but by the early 90s, organ transplantation technology had become relatively mature, and the hospital run by my father and I often encountered some organs that needed to be passed through. A rich man who can only survive with a transplant."

"Why a child?" Wei Ran asked.

"Because they're healthy enough"

Columbus gave an extremely cruel answer, "They don't drink like adults, they are obese, they rarely have infectious diseases, and all the indicators are better. The organs are more vigorous, and even the rich are more willing to accept children. of fresh organs.

And as long as you give the self-righteous leader a small amount of money, his stupid followers will be happy to help find qualified sacrifices. "

"When did you get involved in these things?"

"I didn't! I never got involved!" Columbus panicked. "I swear to God! I really do."

"If you haven't, do you think I'll meet you?" Wei Ran asked in a flat tone, "I'm very impatient, so it's best to answer what I ask."

"I have been involved in these things since 90," Columbus replied weakly.

"So when it started using young children as organ donors, you were involved?"

"Yes," Columbus whispered.

"What's the matter with the foundation?" Wei Ran changed the subject and continued to interrogate.

Seeing that Columbus was in hesitation again, Wei Ran grabbed the opponent's elbow and squeezed it hard. At the same time, he swung the pistol in the other hand and smashed it hard. With the crisp sound of dislocated elbow, Columbus let out another miserable sound. Call.

"What's going on with your foundation?" Wei Ran asked with a smile while kneading the other's dislocated elbow.

"I said! Let go!"

Columbus cried and quickly replied, "That's because more than ten years ago, the believer of the evil scream organization was caught by the police while abducting children, and we were almost discovered by the police, so since then, we have established a fund Yes, to find qualified sacrifices in Mexico and Central American countries."

"Who suggested the foundation?"

Wei Ran squeezed the opponent's elbow hard, "I know the answer to this question, so you'd better think it through."

"I proposed it!" Columbus cried and begged for mercy, "Let go, my hand is going to be useless! Let go! Let go!"

"How do you deal with the child whose organs have been removed?" Unmoved, Wei Ran continued to ask.

"Kill, kill!"

Columbus wailed and replied, "Then make human bone specimens and sell them. We have special channels to legally sell them."

Dare to sell it?
Wei Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a normal expression, "Where did you perform the organ transplant operations?"

"Mumbai! Mumbai in the country of cow urine!" Columbus answered more and more simply as Wei Ran increased the strength of his hand, and even said the slender address like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"Why is it there?" Wei Ran asked quite inquisitively.

Columbus froze for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Because of safety."

"Safe?" Wei Ran was also taken aback.

"The officials there are easy to buy," Columbus gave an impeccable and perfect answer.

"Since the operation was performed in Mumbai, what about the hospital in Salt Lake City?"

"It's just a hospital, and by the way, it's used to preserve some replaced diseased organs of rich people."

Columbus grinned and replied, "In addition, I also need a public identity, and there must always be an office address."

"Who is that woman outside?"

"My lover," Columbus replied bluntly, "of course, she is also a member of that screaming organization."

"Since you are recruiting children through the foundation, why are you still in contact with that evil screaming organization?"

"They make good scapegoats, don't they?"

Columbus asked rhetorically, "In the 90s of the last century, those idiots even considered adding organ transplantation technology to their teachings for propaganda. They even tried to ask us to help clone humans."

"The cloning was successful?"

"Human cloning is illegal," Columbus gave a particularly absurd reason.

"The last two questions." Wei Ran asked with a smile, "Do you know Mrs. Amanda from France?"

"Ms. Amanda?" Columbus's face was full of blankness.

Seeing this, Wei Ran simply changed the question, "Where is that orphanage?"

“In Rwanda”

Columbus, who subconsciously answered the question, closed his mouth nervously, and then said very hard, "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you where the orphanage is."

"Looks like I'm lucky"

While speaking, Wei Ran had already restored the dislocated elbow to its original state amid another scream from the other party.

"What?" Columbus didn't understand what Wei Ran was sighing for a moment.

Wei Ran smiled, pushed the other party towards the direction of the off-road vehicle and said, "Now I am very sure that they should be very happy to publicize the effects you have achieved with organ transplantation technology."
