War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 746 Two Harvests
While Jima was wearing a hood to torture information at other people's homes, Wei Ran was guarding the fireplace in the shelter of the wild gas station, patiently teaching Beria various passwords.

Bewitched by the roasted, scorched venison, this simple-minded dog can be regarded as clever. The only fly in the ointment is that the saliva will inevitably be thrown everywhere along with it rolling and squatting.

After so leisurely recuperating in the shelter of the gas station for three whole days, new information finally came from Jima.

"We have left Hoshloh and are now on our way back to Sarambaul." As soon as the call was connected, Jima gave a brief explanation of his current situation with a hoarse voice.

"What's the gain?"

Wei Ran held the satellite phone in his right hand, and teased Beria with a piece of roasted venison in his left hand, making him stand up with two front legs suspended in the air like a beckoning dog, and kept bowing to him.

After these three days of rest, although his left hand still hurts when he exerts force, at least he can pick up some things that are not too heavy, but it will obviously take a while before he can pull the trigger. Row.

"There are two gains"

Jima looked back at the two particularly strong old men who were tied up in the carriage, and then said, "One is related to a disappearance case in 1966, and the other is related to the companies and their families who are the descendants of prisoners of war. Related. Ivan, which one do you want to hear?"

Ivan?Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the other party address him, he already realized that there were other people beside Ji Ma.

But this one is fine!
Wei Ran muttered to himself, although the other party hadn't said anything yet, he already knew that what Ji Majiang said was probably infinitely close to the truth of the matter.

"Let's talk about the missing case first." Recovering his senses, Wei Ran threw the meat strip in his hand into Beria's mouth, and wiped the oil on his back along with it.

"I tortured two descendants of nuclear POWs"

While talking, Ji Ma took out a tattered notebook with a rolled-up edge from his pocket. After opening it, he compared the ugly handwriting on it and said, "One of these two old guys was born in 1962, and the other was born in 1965." Born. But without exception, their father disappeared in the winter of 1966."

"Missing?" Wei Ran pulled away the dog who came up, and asked knowingly, "Why did you disappear? Didn't come back again?"

"probably"

Jima gave an uncertain answer, "They didn't know it themselves, after all, they were young at that time. But what is more interesting is that according to the two old men, Hoshloch had a total of six recruiters for nuclear prisoners of war. Descendants, but their fathers, without exception, all disappeared in the winter of 1966.

There are many local rumors about this matter.Some said that their fathers were all captured by the KGB, and some said that their fathers abandoned them and returned to Zhaohe.Of course, some said that those prisoners of war went to big cities like Moscow.

In short, even their mother only knew that their father, a prisoner of war, went to Sarampaul together in 1966 and never went back since then. "

"I probably know where their father went. In 1966, they all died in Mine No. 52. But this is not important, let's talk about the second harvest first." Wei Ran picked up the second piece of meat from the plate Article, said while luring Beria to circle around in place.

"Second Harvest"

Jima cleared his throat and explained, "First of all, their company's treatment is very good. As long as the descendants of these recruited nuclear prisoners of war apply to the company, their children can get the opportunity to study abroad.

Their company is not only responsible for all the tuition fees, but also provides scholarships every semester, and even arranges for the mother of the child to accompany them to study, and can help find a decent job there.It is also for this reason that the descendants of prisoners of war who work in this company are very loyal. I have spent a lot of thought in order to get them to speak. "

Speaking of this, Jima paused, and continued to ask in a hoarse voice, "So Ivan, what did you think of?"

"Buying, wooing, hostage, training." Wei Ran said a few key words that pointed to the core, and then asked almost certainly, "Is it a spy?"

"I guess so"

Jima agreed on the other end of the phone, "Although it is old-fashioned, it is very useful, just like when we sent Inta's boys to Huaxia for training."

"If you let Aurora hear your words, she will definitely be angry." Wei Ran joked with a smile, not being taken seriously by the other party's joke at all.

"I didn't say anything just now, and I plan to communicate with the teachers about this unexpected discovery in the next step." Jima didn't express his thoughts until now, "Ivan, will this affect you? "

"No, of course not."

Wei Ran was so eager to do so, he was still thinking about how to expose Vajim who had become a spy.Now that Ji Ma took the initiative to deliver it to his door, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Hearing this, Ji Ma also heaved a sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, I will contact them immediately. If there is no accident, after they take over this matter, we will meet you."

"No problem, remember to drive a few more cars." Wei Ran instructed again.

"Don't worry!" Ji Ma hung up the phone before he finished speaking.

"I don't know if Mao Zi has any good citizen certificates." Wei Ran teased secretly, got up and leaned over to the stove, poured himself another cup of hot hawthorn leaf tea, and dialed Sui Sui's phone while drinking.

Although this shelter is far less comfortable and convenient than the living quarters of the transport vehicle, at the very least, as long as you work hard, you can definitely withstand the low temperature of more than minus [-] degrees outside and float for three or four days in a row. The heavy snow didn't stop.

After waiting for another whole day in such a relaxed way, late the next night, Ji Ma also called again.

"We still have at most half an hour to arrive at the field gas station. You'd better get something brighter in advance, so that we won't find your location." Jima joked after the call was connected, "Also, The ladies are in the car too, so you better put your pants on."

"understood"

Wei Ran was too lazy to quarrel with the other party, so he directly hung up the phone, reached out and took off the chirping kerosene lamp above his head, and hung it on the hook outside the door.

It didn't take half an hour at all, not even 20 minutes, when the roar of the rumbling engine came from a distance.At the same time, the two rows of dazzling lights at the front and rear also pierced the silent night.

When the two cars approached, Wei Ran opened his mouth wide, but he never expected that Ji Ma would get two cargo MAZ537 trucks!

Accompanied by the noise of "creaking" brakes, two trucks parked on both sides of the door of the shelter, one on the left and the other on the right. Then, as the door was pushed open, Jima and Maya jumped out of the cab on the left. down.Sui Sui, sister Katenka, and Lola jumped out of the cab of the truck on the right hand side.Not only that, the rear of the car on the left, as the thick canvas curtain was lifted from the inside, more than a dozen members of the Inta patrol team jumped down.

"You drove this car?" Wei Ran ignored the smug Ji Ma, and asked Sui Sui who threw herself into his arms in surprise.

Of course he knew that Sui Sui was coming, but he didn't expect that they would come in such a big transport vehicle, let alone that she jumped out of the driver's seat.

"That's not right!" Sui Sui raised her chin proudly, "This car is so exciting, I didn't even step on the brakes all the way."

"I can testify"

The Katenka sisters said in unison, but then they chased after in unison, "But I will drive when I go back."

Before Sui Sui could refute, Lola, who followed, had already started to retch while holding on to the tire.

"The driving skills are good." Wei Ran gave a thumbs up with a playful smile.

"It's all because of the poor road." Sui Sui spread her hands innocently, "Where shall we go next?"

"Not in a hurry." Wei Ran finished speaking and looked at Jima who was courting Maya, "Where did you get these two cars?"

“Of course I rented it from a local mine”

Ji Ma proudly took out a bunch of keys and shook them, "Not only did they not charge my rent, but they even gave me a lot of gifts as thanks, and even gave me the key to the staff lounge of this gas station Yes. Of course, we can also add enough fuel here."

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and wisely changed the subject, "Where's Alili?"

"overhead"

Jima pointed to the night sky that was still covered with snowflakes, "In this way, everyone will think that we have left Sarampaul. By the way, he can also help us see if there is a tail behind us."

"In this case, you decide where to go next." Wei Ran simply gave up the decision to Jima.

"Look for the oil storage tank to fill up the two cars first." Ji Ma said without thinking, and threw the key to a member of the patrol team, "You take advantage of the time to refuel and go to the lounge Look, the person in charge of the mine told me that there are some self-defense weapons in the break room, take them all."

“The lounge is in that direction”

Wei Ran raised his finger and pointed in the direction, "Ladies, let's go to the shelter to rest first, and Jima and I will go to refuel, and we will set off for the No. 52 mine later."

"He is a good comrade who can read words and deeds"

Sui Sui pretended to praise Wei Ran, took the leash from Wei Ran's hand, pulled the dog Beria, and greeted Maya and others like a hostess into the warm shelter.

Wei Ran didn't get into the cab of the heavy truck that Sui Sui used to drive until the girls closed the door from the inside. After some groping, he drove the oversized truck to the oil storage tank not far away. .
