War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 723 Interrogation of Prisoner No. 589

In Dr. Goosen's office, the female nurse Zhuo Ya asked in a panic, "What should we do? Goosen, Victor, how should we stop him?"

"Stop it?"

Dr. Gu Sen shook his head, sat around again, tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a long time but finally shook his head, motioned Wei Ran and Zhuo Ya to come over, lowered his voice and said cautiously in their ears, "I'm afraid I can't stop it, based on what I know about Mikita, he must have been planning this matter long ago.

At this time, even if we have enough excuses to keep him, there is no way to keep those test subjects.Once they are out of control, all of us, including Sasha who has returned to Kazan, will probably be sent to work on the 501st construction site as prisoners until we die. "

"Then what shall we do?"

Zhuo Ya asked with a pale face, as Wei Ran guessed before, Zhuo Ya, and more grassroots personnel like Zhuo Ya, although they don't know where the No. 501 construction site is, they know that if the prisoner's If the identity is sent there, it will be healthy. To be precise, the probability of being able to come back alive is really pitifully low.

Even being sent to construction site No. 501 as a staff member—for example, the big-breasted nurse Irene who has already set off—is no different from an adventure that could cost her life at any time.

"Victor, give up the dormitory to Zhuoya tonight?" Dr. Goosen said abruptly.

Wei Ran was stunned when he heard the words, then nodded with a smile, "It would be best if you have an empty bed here."

"Of course." Dr. Goosen pointed upstairs, "There are already two beds in my dormitory."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Zhuo Ya stared at Wei Ran and Gu Sen with a flushed face.

"He's leaving early tomorrow morning." Gu Sen looked at Zhuo Ya meaningfully, "Be with him well, do you know when it will be when we meet next time?"

"I won't go back to the dormitory." Wei Ran was extremely bachelor, "I guess he will go back to the dormitory directly later."

Zhuo Ya, who was about to say something, stomped her feet, picked up the cup on the table, filled it with vodka and drank it down, and then ran out of the office again.

"It's nice to be young," Dr. Goosen said with a smile, as if he wasn't worried about the situation in front of him.

"You don't seem to be much older than Zhuo Ya." While speaking, Wei Ran had already filled the wine glass and handed it to Dr. Gu Sen.

"I'm 12 years older than Zhuo Ya," Dr. Goosen said while holding a glass of wine. "When I first met her, she was just 13 years old."

"Are you 12 years older than her?" Wei Ran was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "How old is she this year?"

"19 years old," Dr. Goosen said with a smile.

"She's only 19? You knew her six years ago?"

Wei Ran's eyes widened, he was surprised that Gu Sen and Zhuo Ya were old acquaintances, and even more surprised that the girl Zhuo Ya was so young.

"certainly"

Gu Sen beckoned Wei Ran to sit down again, picked up a piece of fried fish and threw it into his mouth, and explained vaguely while chewing, "She is the child of my comrade-in-arms, a machine gunner from Irkutsk .

But he was unlucky, and died outside Berlin, on the operating table I was in charge of, before he could win.Before dying, that bastard entrusted me with his daughter Zoya. "

"It's hard to take care of such a girl, isn't it?" Wei Ran responded absently, and couldn't help but think of those friends and those children in the basement of Berlin.

“It was really hard work”

Gu Sen sighed tiredly, "Zoya is not a well-behaved and obedient girl. Frankly speaking, she caused me a lot of trouble, otherwise I wouldn't have taken her to hide in such a ghostly place."

Wei Ran happily picked up the cup and touched the other party, and said gloatingly, "From what you say, I know it's a big trouble."

Dr. Goosen's tone was also gloating, "Let that bastard Mikita take care of her troubles in the future. That guy is a trustworthy man."

"No wonder you're not worried"

"There's nothing to worry about," Dr. Goosen said, pointing to the door, "What are you going to do with that prisoner of war?"

"Not in a hurry." Wei Ranmu waved his hands indifferently, how troublesome a prisoner of war can be, and he doesn't need to use his brain to clean it up.

However, when the topic was about prisoners of war, Wei Ran remembered another thing, simply put down his cup, walked to the door and called the prisoner curled up by the stove to come in.

"Doctor Gusen, how about asking it a few questions for me?" Wei Ran said while rummaging through the prisoner of war.

"Of course, what do you want to ask?" Dr. Goosen added without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, "Let's just say it first, Victor, torture is not allowed in my office, I don't want to wake up those upstairs and downstairs patient."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking a few random questions."

Before Wei Ran finished his sentence, he found a seal with patina from the prisoner's pocket, "Please help me to see this seal first, and see what the name is written on it."

"Xishan Dameng" Dr. Gu Sen just took the seal and glanced at it casually, then gave an affirmative answer.

"Do you know where I can find the records corresponding to the numbers and names of prisoners of war?" Wei Ran took the seal and threw it to the prisoner of war while asking the second question.

"do not know"

Dr. Goosen shook his head, "To be precise, there is no such thing at all. Their only identity is the number on their chest."

"What if they change clothes with each other?" Wei Ran subconsciously asked.

"Is there a difference?" Dr. Goosen spread his hands, and asked back as a matter of course, "Who cares that they exchanged identities?"

"makes sense"

Wei Ran laughed dumbfounded. No one here really cares about the name of each prisoner of war. It can even be said that when these prisoners of war came here, their lives had already been condensed into a series of meaningless numbers that could be wiped out at any time. .

Ironically, in later generations, the only text that records their numbers may be Mikita's work records, but unfortunately, those who are recorded by him are doomed to be unable to survive.

With some emotion, Wei Ran looked at the prisoner of war with a smile on his face, and said at the same time, "Gu Sen, let him look at me, and tell him that if he dodges his eyes for even half a second, I will kill him and him immediately. All the prisoners of war in his hut."

"In terms of torture, you are much more professional than Mikita."

Gu Sen smiled and praised, then switched to Japanese and translated Wei Ran's request to the prisoner of war.

I don't know if it was because of the cruelty that Wei Ran showed in publicly torturing the prisoner during the day, or because his threat just now poked the prisoner's weakness.At the same time that Dr. Gu Sen finished the translation, the prisoner of war number 589 immediately raised his head and looked directly into Wei Ran's eyes.

Ignoring the hatred hidden in the opponent's eyes, Wei Ran unhurriedly took out his red plastic leather notebook from his pocket, took out the pen in the metal notebook under the cover of his pocket, and then wrote on it A string of Russian was handed to Goosen.

Taking the notebook and glanced at it, Gu Sen closed the notebook with a "snap!", "I see."

"Then let's get started!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran stood up, and while keeping his eyes on the prisoner of war at a distance of one meter, he asked, "The first question, what's your name?"

Hearing this, Gu Sen, who was watching the excitement, immediately helped translate the question, and quickly gave an answer that was exactly the same as the name on the seal.

"What was your father's name, what was your mother's name. Where is your home, where was your last formal education."

Wei Ran said that he stopped abruptly here, patiently waiting for Dr. Gu Sen to help translate, and then patiently waiting for the 589th prisoner of war to answer one by one.

However, before Gu Sen could translate the response given by the prisoner of war into Russian, Wei Ran continued to ask, "What is the name of the teacher you hate the most in this school? What are the distinctive features of its architecture? What's around the nearest intersection?"

Before he finished speaking, Dr. Goosen, who was also in the mood, immediately translated, and the prisoner who had been staring at Wei Ran, even blinking as little as possible, answered again.

"The next question makes it speak faster and louder." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he continued to ask, "What is the name of the neighbor who has the best relationship with your family?"

Originally thinking that Wei Ran was going to ask a lot of questions at once, Gu Sen was taken aback for a while, and then quickly translated after he realized it.

For the next 20 minutes, the speed of communication between the two parties became faster and faster, and Wei Ran's questions became more and more strange, from what is the name of the neighbor's dog, male or female, to what is the name of his favorite female classmate? What is the date of the name's birthday, etc., and all kinds of questions were asked by him all over the place.Even during the period, some questions that have been asked before will be interspersed.

"Which unit did you serve in the Kwantung Army?" Wei Ran abruptly asked a question that could barely be regarded as the core.

Dr. Goosen took a sip of vodka, then translated the question into Japanese, and got the answer from the prisoner of war.

However, when Wei Ran, under the watchful eyes of the prisoner of war, asked the other party in Russian again if there were people from Hiroshima or Nagasaki among the people he knew, Dr. Gusen also followed the agreement that Wei Ran had made with him in his notebook before the inquiry. Then, in a very homely tone, he asked in Japanese, "Who gave you the name Inuyang Sage?"

"My name is Nishiyama Dameng," POW No. 589 responded loudly in Japanese, "it's the name my mother gave me."

"Last question, do you know the dog breeder?"

When Wei Ran asked this question, he sat back in his seat contentedly. He was almost sure that the prisoner of war was not lying.

"He said he didn't know him, he had never heard of the name."

After Dr. Gu Sen translated the answer to Wei Ran's last question, he also heaved a sigh of relief, first waved his hand at the prisoner of war, and waited until it went out, then asked Wei Ran his doubts, "Where are you?" Is there anything special about the person you're looking for?"

Wei Ran smiled, "It's nothing special, I just want to see what it looks like."
