War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 70 Oakleaf Insurance Company
Turning over a page in the notebook again, Wei Ran took out a thick stack of photos from the bulging paper bag next to the black and white photo.

I opened the copy board and looked at it one by one. Except for the few photos I took at the last moment and Dr. Hans in the biochemical suit, the rest were basically various German documents secretly taken.

Without hesitation at all, Wei Ran put all the negatives back to their original positions, and then pulled out his own gun from the red vortex.

Gently remove the magazine, then pull the slide to extract the bullet from the chamber.The yellow-orange bullets fell on the table, making a series of tinkling and pleasant knocking sounds.

Wei Ran picked up the bullet that rolled down on the table and looked at it, and then his face showed a relaxed expression of the rest of his life after a catastrophe.Although this time I didn't stay at the Don 19 position for as long as I did, and it wasn't like I was always worried about bumping into German soldiers or encountering cold shots during the Battle of Stalingrad.

But the danger has not been reduced at all, especially the sarin cylinders that were detonated in that air-raid bunker. Thinking of the scene where Dr. Hans rushed towards him at the last moment, Wei Ran couldn't help shivering .

Fortunately, no matter how dangerous it was on the way, I finally came back without any danger.Although it has not been found out who killed Nicholas' family this time, at least one key suspect has been locked.

Even, he was at least [-]% sure that the real murderer was Hannah, the East German Stasi agent code-named dwarf!

Moreover, according to historical records that have occurred, in 1985, there was no sarin gas attack in East Germany.Then it is almost certain that either the follow-up developments were really as Dr. Hans expected at the time, and the entire attack was urgently stopped by the West German Federal Intelligence Agency.Or, Hannah informed the Stasi through other means.

It would be easy to confirm my guess, but definitely not now.After all, no matter what, I and Jima just came back from Kazan last night, and even counting the traveling time, it was less than 24 hours.In such a short period of time, I checked the ins and outs of the situation, and even found out the key suspects.

Don't say whether Nicholas believes it or not, even if he does, I'm afraid the result will be the first time to check himself inside and out.

"Wait a minute."

Wei Ran muttered to himself, put the bullet on the table into the magazine again, and then sent it back to the leather notebook.

Turning his head to look at the two silencer weapons still on the table, Wei Ran thought for a while, and finally pulled out the bayonet from the first red vortex, trying to put it in.

However, to his surprise, not only the sniper rifle couldn't be inserted, but even the micro-sound pistol was blocked from the whirlpool.

"It's really evil"

Wei Ran lost his temper, so he simply turned the page, took out the pistol that he had just put back and threw it aside, and then tried to put the two guns in again, but without exception, this time they were still strictly controlled. Blocked out of the vortex.

What's going on here?

Wei Ran didn't know why, so he put the two noise-absorbing weapons on the table, and then compared it with the saber made of a large number of titanium alloy parts.

Is it because of the noise canceling function?
Or is it because the pistol was made to order and not mass produced?
Or is it because the bullets used are of different calibers?
After thinking about it, Wei Ran put this problem aside for the time being, took back the cowhide notebook and the gun, then put the two silenced weapons back into the bag, and stuffed them into the pile of sundries in the corner.

The most important thing right now, apart from finding a good excuse for his "soon-to-discovery" investigation, is to prepare to return to the Hongqi Forest Farm in Kazan in a few days and report to Karp for a class.

But before that, it's time to take a shower and sleep.The only bedroom upstairs was taken by a snoring quarter horse, but don't forget that the travel agency next door had plenty of rooms.

After greeting the little Maomei at the front desk, and taking the key card and disposable toiletries from the other party, Wei Ran went into the room on the second floor and soaked himself in the bathtub.

Although I was only sent back three times by the cowhide notebook, it seems to have become my habit to take a bath and sleep every time I come back.

After sleeping until it was dark, when Wei Ran woke up, the travel agency downstairs had already left work, and even Ji Ma next door had disappeared.Having nothing to do left and right, he dug out the medical files that Kazan had brought back and laid them one by one on the workbench.

He still remembered that when Dr. Hans and Dr. Hans went to that apartment to pick up equipment, the other party stuffed a medical file into it, perhaps that was his only clue.

But trying to find the one that Hans put in among the seventy or eighty medical files stained with large ink stains is also not an easy task.

Compared with the backup medical file with Russian translation provided by Nikolai, Wei Ran compared the remaining German letters on the original file one by one, and put the files that were suspected to have the same content together.

It's just such a simple job, and when he finishes his work, the moon outside the window is already hanging above his head.

"I have suffered from being uneducated." Wei Ran looked at the medical files on the workbench, and became more determined to learn German as soon as possible.

Relying on a nap in the afternoon and now being energetic, Wei Ran turned on the desk lamp, made a large pot of coffee, and carefully read the Russian translation provided in the backup file.

According to Nicholas, the "patients" recorded in these files were all successfully assassinated by Dr. Hans, code-named Ampoule.

In this thick pile of medical files, there are railway workers who seem to be ordinary but actually served as executioners in the concentration camp; there are Gai Shichi who disguised himself as a coal merchant after the war; A pivotal role in providing materials and intelligence transmission for the fragile organization after the war.

Most of them are unknown and have never appeared in historical records, but there are also well-known figures such as Hans Speidel and even Abandon Hausinger who formed the West German Defense Force after the war.

"Salesman of Oak Leaf Insurance Company?" Wei Ran flipped through the medical files he had just flipped through.

The column of the reason why the owner of this file was killed by Dr. Hans was only marked in a very simple way - "the new generation is so crispy" such a brief reason.Other than that, there are no details.

Could it be the insurance company Dr. Hans blew up?Wei Ran picked up the original medical file, transcribed the German title column on white paper, then summoned a leather notebook, took out the stack of negatives and fixed it on the copy board again.

As the power of the copy board was turned on, Wei Ran held up a magnifying glass as big as his face to observe carefully one by one. He remembered that Dr. Hans used a camera to take pictures at that insurance company.

Unexpectedly, under this comparison, he really found the German phrase "Blatt Eiche (oak leaf)" on the header of a paper document taken in one of the photos.Putting down the binoculars, Wei Ran picked up the medical file again, and a confident smile of winning was already appearing on his face.
