War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 855 Belongs to the war of our era

That evening, just as the sky was getting dark, Wei Ran and Zhong Zhen received Qin Er Shi and Xia Shushi who rushed over from Mo's Village by helicopter.

After some simple communication and introduction on the road, when Zhong Zhen drove the car to the entrance of a Chinese restaurant and led them into the private room, the two strong men and the five beautiful girls whom he had seen before had already been waiting for a long time .

However, contrary to Wei Ran's expectations, what made him look at Qin Ershi even more was that this guy didn't even look at those five beautiful girls at all.As for Xia Shushi, since the meeting, he has been concentrating on flipping through the black and white photos scanned by Wei Ran with a film scanner.

After exchanging polite greetings, only Zhong Zhen and Qin Ershi were the main communication partners for this meal.As for the members of the family-hunting group, they put all their thoughts on accompanying the wine.

After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Qin Ershi poured a glass of rice wine on his own, "Let me think about this matter. Before I leave tomorrow, I will definitely give you an accurate answer."

"Okay! I'll wait for news from Brother Qin." Zhong Zhen picked up his wine glass and touched the other's wine glass.

After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed the meal, and Zhong Zhen personally drove the three of them to the hotel where Wei Ran lived.

However, just as Wei Ran was about to lie down, Xia Shushi knocked on his door.

"Have you discussed it?" Wei Ran asked while closing the door.

"It's been discussed"

Xia Shushi sat on the sofa, lit a thin cigarette and said, "I'll be the deputy head of that family-hunting group."

"Where is the second?" Wei Ran asked knowingly, and at the same time waved his hand to reject the other party's cigarette.

"He is not suitable, but he will try his best to help us."

Xia Shushi made a perfunctory sentence vaguely, and then said, "The Second One drank a little too much and went to bed first. He asked me to ask you for him, what is the most appropriate way to do this?"

"Let's play to our strengths"

Wei Ran thought for a while and asked, "You, the deputy head, should be able to provide them with enough and detailed clues?"

"It's not a big problem," Xia Shushi replied confidently.

"I mainly study the Eastern Front battlefield, and I really haven't done any detailed research on the history here."

Wei Ran truthfully stated his situation, and then continued, "But I can help you find a way to see how to make people remember these expeditionary troops."

"Senior can help with domestic affairs, and he can also bring in some investment."

Xia Shushi said in a puffy voice, "Since this Zhong Zhen is not short of money, let's add some manpower and equipment to him."

"It's up to you to decide, anyway, I'm just hanging on for a title." Wei Ranmu expressed his attitude indifferently.

Hearing this, Xia Shushi nodded, changed the subject and said, "Do you still remember what Zhong Zhen said during the meal, the devil's free-for-all comrades group liaison association?"

"You also understand?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.

"I do know a little bit about it. It is said that they went to western Yunnan when they were re-opened in China. They wanted to collect their bones but were rejected. Later, they wanted to come secretly and exchanged their bones with color TVs, car refrigerators and the like. Later, western Yunnan allowed foreign People have entered, and occasionally they can still see the devils who went there to pay homage."

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi had already walked to the French window, opened the curtain, pointed to a bus in the parking lot downstairs and said, "Did you notice that bus?"

Hearing this, Wei Ran got up and walked to the window, looked at the illuminated parking lot downstairs and nodded, "I see, what's the matter?"

"When we first came in, the bus just drove into the parking lot with us. At that time, it was separated from me by a door. I saw clearly that the side of the bus had written in Japanese 'All free comrade-in-arms group contact' association'."

Xia Shushi closed the gauze curtain again, "I remember Zhong Zhen also said that they will have a sweeping ceremony tomorrow morning. I guess all the devils who participated in the ceremony live in this building."

"This is a bit unlucky." Wei Ran frowned.

"Don't mention this to the Second Emperor." Xia Shushi sat down again and said, "With his dog temper, he probably dared to burn this building down."

"It's meaningless to kill them all. Just like Zhong Zhen said, this kind of thing can't be solved by fighting."

Wei Ran sighed, "The predecessors have finished their battle, and now we can only fight this unseen battle by ourselves."

"yes"

Xia Shushi stubbed out the cigarette butt, rubbed his face vigorously, "The little devil is wicked, and we can't always be obsessed with singing and dancing. If we forget about those people, we will really lose this battle, lose There’s no chance of turning around.”

"I know a psychiatrist"

Wei Ran looked up at the ceiling, "He predicted a long time ago that the Third World War would be a war for the control of human minds, and it would be more brutal than World War I and World War II, but he couldn't see the smoke, see No bloody war.

And as you said just now, this is a war in which once you lose, you will never have a chance to come back.Most importantly, this war of our time has already begun.

Those who lose this war in the end will become babies with pacifiers in their mouths, Liu Chan, who is reluctant to leave, willing to be ruled by the victorious side, enslaved, imprisoned in the brain, dare not, even unwilling resist. "

"This psychiatrist is very accurate." Xia Shushi nodded involuntarily.

"yes."

Wei Ran sighed, "The Third World War has already begun, the Soviet Union has already lost, and the post-Soviet Ukran can't hold on for long."

"We won't lose"

Xia Shushi glanced at the direction outside the window, "But we really need to be more vigilant. It is really not easy to win this ideological war and avoid stepping on the trap and taking the wrong path of Mincui."

"Go back and rest early, these are not things that us ordinary people should consider"

Wei Ran waved his hand, "Sit down tomorrow and discuss how to cooperate together. It's enough for us to do what we can."

"That's right." After Xia Shushi finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Watching the other party walk into the next room, Wei Ran thought for a while, closed the door and took out the food box, found an authenticator that had not been used for a long time and connected it to the computer, and then sent An Feiya an email, After the other party gave a response, he immediately unplugged the authenticator, put it in his pocket together with a USB flash drive, got up and left the room.

Taking the elevator downstairs, Wei Ran first glanced at the front desk of the hotel, then left the lobby and walked towards the parking lot. By the way, he also put on a baseball cap for himself.

After wandering around, he found the bus written in Japanese that Xia Shushi mentioned just now, Wei Ran took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the front and side of the bus as if making a call.

Re-entering the hotel lobby, Wei Ran walked to the front desk and asked politely in Chinese, "Is there anyone who can speak Chinese?"

"Sir, do you need any help?" A female staff member with baby fat on her face asked.

"Can I borrow your computer and printer?" Wei Ran shook the USB flash drive in his hand, a trace of urgency appeared on his face, "I have an agreement here that needs to be printed, not many, just a few It's just Zhang."

After finishing speaking, he also took out a roll of Burmese coins provided by the Second King from his pocket, and said in a low voice, "Just print it out for me, these tips are all yours."

The cute-looking waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the flash drive with enthusiastic hands, "This is what we should do."

"Thank you"

As Wei Ran said, he took advantage of the situation and stuffed the roll of kyat into the other party's hand, "There is only one agreement in the USB flash drive, just print it out for me."

"Please wait"

The girl subconsciously pressed the thick kyat in her pocket, skillfully inserted the USB drive into the computer case, then opened the page of the USB drive, and printed out the pre-marital property distribution agreement written in Finnish.

After putting away the agreement, Wei Ran took the USB drive from the other party, thanked him politely, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

However, when the elevator door opened, he saw the long-haired girl he had met in the elevator before leaving the hotel in the afternoon, and the other party obviously recognized Wei Ran after a brief moment of astonishment.

Before he could react, the little girl who looked like a high school student at most immediately let out an exclamation, and then subconsciously popped out a string of Japanese that Wei Ran couldn't understand!
Subconsciously took a step back to open the distance, the girl immediately reacted, first bowed at ninety degrees, and then said in English with a nuclear radiation accent, "Hello, I can see you, my wife Excited. I was last night. No, I was one of the four girls rescued by you this morning. My Japanese name is Bei."

"Sorry, I don't understand Japanese and English."

With an apologetic face, Wei Ran interrupted the other party's English, which was more awkward than the Indian accent, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart, whether he could take advantage of the little girl he had saved.

Obviously, this excited little girl also couldn't understand Wei Ran's Chinese.But soon, she took out her mobile phone and used a translation software to type a line of Chinese characters, "Wait a minute, please."

Seeing this, Wei Ran nodded after feigning hesitation, and the devilish girl immediately dialed a series of numbers on her mobile phone, chatting with the person on the other end of the phone, but her eyes kept following him. Follow Wei Ran who is walking towards the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby.

Reluctantly resisting the urge to slash the other party as a grave offering, Wei Ran found a sofa in the lounge area of ​​the lobby and sat down just enough to see the entrance gate and the elevator in both directions.

In just three or four minutes, the serious-looking middle-aged Asian man he had seen in the elevator in the afternoon met the little girl who was waiting less than five meters away from Wei Ran, and then walked quickly to the Next to Wei Ran, he respectfully bowed at 90 degrees, spoke a lot of Japanese in a rambunctious manner, and then handed over a business card with both hands.

When Wei Ran squinted his eyes and took the business card, a woman with a Temin skirt tied around her waist and leaf patterns painted on her face with Tenaka also walked over quickly, chatting to that woman in Japanese. The middle-aged man and the little girl had an exchange.

After a while, the woman switched to Chinese and asked Wei Ran, "Sir, do you speak Chinese?"

"Please tell me." Wei Ran raised his hand with a smile.

"This is Mr. Kitao Chitatsu, and next to him is his daughter Kitao Rin."

Following the introduction of the female translator, the father and daughter next to them also bowed together, speaking Japanese that Wei Ran could not understand.

"The father and daughter are very grateful to you for saving Kitao Rin in the early hours of this morning." The female translator also expressed gratitude while speaking, "I also represent Mandalay."

"Sorry, you seem to have made a mistake." Wei Ran pretended to be tense with a hint of disgust, "I didn't save anyone today."

Hearing this, the female translator's face showed a blank look, and then she switched to Japanese, and began to communicate with the father and daughter, while the little girl named Kitao Rin had a confident expression on her face. talking about something.

After a brief communication, the middle-aged man named Kitao Zhida also seemed to see something from Wei Ran's intentional expression of tension and a little disgust, ignoring his daughter's insistence, and first turned towards Wei Ran He smiled, and then continued to speak a few words in Japanese.

"This gentleman, I'm very sorry, Mr. Kitao said that they may have identified the wrong person."

The female translator paused, and continued, "To express my apology, the Beiwei family is willing to host a banquet in the upstairs restaurant, and please appreciate it."

"The meal is free. I don't have much appetite. If there is nothing else, it's fine."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran simply stood up, gently pushed away the astonished female translator, ignored the incomprehensible words that came out of the mouths of the ghost father and daughter, and walked into the elevator not far away.

Through the reflection of the elevator door, Wei Ran clearly saw the middle-aged man reaching out to grab his daughter, and the female translator had already walked towards the front desk.

As the elevator door opened, a smile appeared on the corner of Wei Ran's mouth, and at the same time he squeezed the business card he just got.

All the way back to his room with a normal expression, after Wei Ran locked the door, he immediately took out the business card he just got, opened the translation software in his hand and scanned it, and translated the content in the business card.

According to the statement on this business card, the owner of this business card, the devil named Kitao Chitatsu, is a consultant of a non-profit organization.

I checked this non-profit organization whose main business is to protect biodiversity in Southeast Asia.Wei Ran discovered that the establishment of this organization happened to be the same year as the Liaison Association of All Free Comrades Groups mentioned by Zhong Zhen before.

"There should be some connection between the two."

Wei Ran muttered to himself, and after thinking for a while, he first took a photo of the business card in his hand, and then casually threw it in a more conspicuous place on the table.

It wasn't until this time that he turned on his laptop again and followed the steps to connect to the authenticator.

After waiting patiently for a while, the mouse arrow on the screen began to move by itself, and immediately after, a document appeared on the desktop.

Under Wei Ran's gaze, the document was zoomed and dragged to the side, and then a new text document was created on the desktop, and paragraphs of German began to appear on it.

"The hotel's management system and monitoring system have been cracked. The document just now contains a list of all the guests, and at the end is the monitoring login webpage address and account password.

In addition, I just saw you on the surveillance camera in the lobby on the first floor, and I saw the person you were talking to.Need the room number of the person you're talking to? "

"Need" Wei Ran tapped the keyboard to give a response.

Before his fingers left the keyboard, the laptop opened a webpage, and then Wei Ran saw a sped-up monitoring screen.

In the fast-forwarded surveillance footage, the ghost father and daughter took the elevator upstairs shortly after Wei Ran left. The girl named Beiwei Rin got into a room by herself, and her father got into the room. adjoining rooms.

Not long after, the female translator also came to this floor and knocked on Kitao Tomota's door, and was dragged into the room by the other party's wrist.

It's just that the original fast-forward monitoring is reversed here and it returns to normal. A shrunken document also pops up in the lower right corner, and then a sentence "This is the real-time monitoring screen" appears on the document.

Seeing this, Wei Ran got up and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and took a sip, then took out a cigarette case that Xia Shushi forgot to take away, lit it, thought for a while, and then typed a paragraph in Russian , "Check the check-in time of this room and the tenants who checked in on the same day as it."

After a word "received" appeared in the text document, it shrunk down to the taskbar.

Before Wei Ran finished smoking a cigarette, the female translator opened the door and left the room, and there was an extra paper bag in her hand.

When the door behind her was closed, the female translator immediately put down the bag in her hand, looked around first, then adjusted the underwear through the clothes before picking up the bag again.

Wei Ran looked at the half-burned cigarette in his hand, and couldn't help muttering with a strange expression, "This is so fast, isn't it?"

Just at this time, Anfeiya also resent a document, which contained a series of lists corresponding to different room numbers, and one of the red-marked names was followed by a German word "surveillance target".

However, before Wei Ran could give a response, the surveillance screen jumped, and then, Wei Ran found that it was the floor where his room was located, and the woman carrying the paper bag seemed to be heading towards him. Go in the direction of the room you live in!
Fuck!You're not here to find me, are you?

Wei Ran muttered, and buckled up the laptop decisively. After thinking for a while, he took out a pair of rubber gloves and put them on.When he finished all this, the doorbell just rang.

After waiting for a while, Wei Ran got up and opened the door with a gap.

"Hello, sir, this is a gift from Mr. Beiwei. I hope you don't mind that he identified the wrong person before." The female translator said in Chinese with a smile.

"The gift is unnecessary," Wei Ran politely refused.

"Please be sure to accept it." The female interpreter said very respectfully, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

After a little hesitation, Wei Ran took the paper bag handed over by the other party, "Is there anything else?"

"I don't know what to call you," the female translator asked tentatively.

"Li Mei"

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he closed the door directly, and then quickly ran to the side of the notebook, and opened the notebook with a hand that had not touched the paper bag. It was not until the female translator in the surveillance turned and left to go downstairs that he shifted his gaze to On a paper bag in hand.

Reaching out from the paper bag, Wei Ran took out a mahogany box. After opening it, Wei Ran found that there was a Buddha statue carved from emerald.

This milky white Buddha statue is not a pendant, but an ornament the size of an egg.Although Wei Ran is completely ignorant of jadeite, but just by looking at its moist texture, he knows that it will not be cheap if it is done well.

"It's quite worth the money."

Wei Ran muttered to himself, put the Buddha statue aside casually, and carefully checked the paper bag and the mahogany box containing the emerald Buddha statue, and took off his gloves until he was sure that there was no eavesdropping device in these things. After washing his hands, he sat next to his notebook again, carefully studying the list and room number that Anfeiya sent just now.

After a long time, Wei Ran tapped the keyboard and typed a string of German, "Help me watch the monitor, about 8 to 10 hours later, wait for my message to prepare to crack the electronic device."

"No problem, remember to wash your hands later." An Feiya reminded Wei Ran deliberately as if she was disgusted.

Too lazy to quarrel with this increasingly lively girl who hangs out with Sui Sui, Wei Ran unplugged the authenticator, slumped on the sofa and thought about tomorrow's plan secretly.

　The little black house is out. If you haven't seen the previous one, you can turn to the next chapter.
