War Photographer's Notebook

In mid-July, after only staying in the hot and dry Las Vegas for three days, Wei Ran and Sui Sui took sisters Katenka to bid farewell to Koko, Ninel and Ania, and took the Special shell casings and sealed axes boarded the flight to Kazan.

Almost on the front and back, as if avoiding Ania, Kou Kou also took her new housekeeper Tan Tu and boarded another flight to France.

It wasn't until the two planes had taken off that Ninel drove away from the airport with Ania.

"So we really won't be in the auto repair business in the future?" Aniya asked while putting her two long legs on the glove box of the co-pilot in a nondescript manner.

"No more." Ninel glanced at his partner sitting beside him, "Also, this fall, you go to study."

"What are you talking about? Reading?" Ania immediately became displeased. "Didn't we both agree two years ago that I won't mention it anymore?"

"Go to Paris, France, and you can study any major you want, but you can't be in the same school as Kou Kou, let alone study the same major."

In a nonchalant tone, Niner made an offer that Aenea simply could not refuse.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?!"

There was a strong look of excitement on Ania's face, but it was replaced by a look of vigilance immediately, "No, you have always held a firm opposition to homosexuality. No, there is something wrong with your attitude, Nine Er, what are you going to do?"

"We have a lot of problems trying to convert our auto repair shops in the United States and Canada into crazy asylums"

Ninel said seriously, "Especially after we gave up business in the United States, even if our customers want to do something to us, I'm not surprised at all."

"So I'm a liability again?" Ania asked, rolling her eyes.

"You said it yourself." Ninel slightly increased the speed of the car, "Besides, Victor is a historian."

"So?" Ania looked at Niner in confusion, "What does this have to do with Victor?"

"We also need to have a glamorous identity on the bright side, although your distorted sexual orientation allows you to have the right talent.

But this is far from enough. All over the United States, including Canada, if any policeman enters your name into the database, the first thing that pops up will always be your father and his smuggling business.

But if all goes well, at least in the United States in the future, we will do legal business. "

Nie Nie paused, "So with the transformation of our business, you have to pack a bright enough identity for yourself to cover up your father's shadow."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Ania raised her chin and threw all the questions back.

"No artists, designers, how about costume designers?"

Ninel suggested, "Look, we know a lot of sports stars, if you design some clothes, those muscular jerks will be happy to help promote it."

"It doesn't matter." Ania spread her hands, "What about you?"

"I'm going to get a letter of recommendation next, and then go to the University of Nevada to study psychiatry for a while."

Ninel said with a smile, "Then I will obtain a doctor's license and enter the mental hospital controlled by us as an ordinary person."

Speaking of this, Ninel smiled, "Also, after negotiating with the twins, our madhouse will become a chain of medical institutions in the future, and even the name has been decided."

"What's it called?" Aniya asked with great interest.

"Morpheus"

Ninel smiled and said, "The god of dreams in ancient Greek mythology, he is in charge of human dreams and conveys the will of God through dreams. In the future, our chain of medical institutions will be called Morpheus Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center, which will be dedicated to severe patients. A semi-public undertaking for the care and rehabilitation of the mentally ill."

"It's a pretty good name." Ania teased with a smile, "It just sounds similar to morphine."

"Morphine is also named after the god of dreams"

Ninel also showed a smile, "Which mental patient can refuse the peace brought by a shot of morphine?"

"So you chose this name?" Aniya gave a rare compliment, "The name you chose this time is not bad."

Ninel twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and said reluctantly after a second or two of silence, "It's the twins' name."

"I really overestimated you." Ania curled her lips, "Is there anything else I need to know?"

Hearing this, Ninel hesitated for a moment, but finally cautiously reduced the speed of the car, stepped on the brakes, and parked the car on the side of the road.

Seeing this, Ania immediately threw her mobile phone into the glove box, opened the car door and walked towards the front of the car familiarly.

After a while, Ninel also came over, standing under a shade tree, while playing with an authenticator made by Katenka, he said, "Ania, do you still have an impression of Charon? "

"Charon?"

Ania froze for a moment, then widened her eyes, "That old European counterpart? Didn't they disappear overnight a few years ago?"

"The twins gave me a promise"

Ninel shook the small object in his hand, looked at the car in the distance and said, "They said that Charon will reappear in Europe soon.

If we want, they can help to tie the knot and reach a cooperation.In this way, not only can we enter the European express delivery industry, but we may even develop the Southeast Asian market with Charon, which we have never been able to set foot in before.

Of course, the twins also said that regarding the Southeast Asian market, ultimately depends on Victor's attitude. "

"Anything like this?"

Ania suppressed her excitement and asked in a low voice, "Will Charon cooperate with us? What you just said means that Victor is actually Charon's behind-the-scenes boss? How is this possible?!"

"It's just a promise from the twins"

Ninel spread his hands, "In exchange, our courier route will be completely open to them, and they will also take away the 200 million US dollars that Victor has saved with us. Although I agreed to their conditions, this matter will eventually come to an end." It didn't come out of Victor's mouth, so I'm skeptical at the moment."

"I didn't expect that we would still have the opportunity to cooperate with Charon."

Ania didn't care about the $200 million that didn't belong to them at all. Instead, she exclaimed with bright eyes, "So this is the real reason why you plan to let me study in France?"

"Only part of it"

Ninel lit a cigarette and explained in a low voice, "The most important thing is that if you can become good friends with Kou Kou who don't go to bed, with her future influence in the United States, and her relationship with Victor and Aurora You and I will be safe in the future - both in the United States and in the face of Charon, a terrifying old partner."

"What's a good friend who can't sleep?" Aniya rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "Why can't a good friend have sex?"

"whatever"

Ninel sighed tiredly, took only one or two puffs of cigarettes, and said while walking towards the car, "In short, get ready to go to France as soon as possible, if you mess up with Koko relationship, I can only send you to Cuba."

"I hate going to school, but I hate going to Cuba even more."

Ania muttered something vaguely, followed by Niner in a desperate manner.

At the same time, upstairs in the parade jewelry store in Paris, France, the jewelry designer Alan, who has lost a lot of weight after surgery and is now able to do simple physical exercises, is also outside the window in the light rain and the cool breeze. In the dark, I connected an authenticator to the computer to perform a slightly cumbersome authentication, then logged into the webmail, and carefully read the latest emails that appeared.

After a long flight, the four of Wei Ran, who ended their trip to the United States, finally returned to their lair by Lake Kaban.

Sui Sui, who was on the verge of going crazy with no time for rest, started the long-awaited work at the urging of her domestic partners.

Even Wei Ran was not idle, except that when he just came home, he hugged his "long absence" dog Beria to comfort him, and by the way, the big man washed his face with plenty of water, and he immediately devoted himself to The inquiry and collection of historical materials about the USS Johnston came up.

Although Kou Kou did not mention the issue of commissions in this investigation, Sui Sui, who had already been persuaded by Wei Ran with all her might, was ready. Talk to Bastian to see if you can get some investment from the other party.

There are so many things going on right now, but Wei Ran, who is hiding in the room, is extraordinarily leisurely.

However, before he finished reading the public information on the Johnston, Xia Shushi, who hadn't seen him for a while, was led into the yard by the coffee girl Lola.

After comforting the dog Beria who was lying on his feet, Wei Ran hurriedly stood up and greeted him warmly.

"Are you here just in time?" Wei Ran warmly greeted the other party, "Where is Er Shi and Zhong Zhen? They didn't come?"

"Zhong Zhen is busy taking revenge, and it is inconvenient for the second generation to move around frequently, so I came here by myself."

Xia Shushi followed Wei Ran into the room and asked, "Why are you so anxious to ask me to come over?"

"There must be something serious"

Wei Ran beckoned the other party to sit down, turned to Lola and said, "There's no need to make coffee, we'll just make tea later."

"Then you talk"

Lola said as she put down the coffee pot she had just picked up, grabbed Beria by the leash, and left the room with it.

"Little sister Lola is still so cute," Xia Shushi said with a smile.

"I'm not stupid to call you here"

Wei Ran shook his head helplessly. Speaking of which, Xia Shushi is the one who looks the most human among his friends, but it's a pity that he only looks like a person. This guy is also a scumbag.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Shushi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, reached out to pick up the lighter on the table and lit it, and glanced at the information on the computer screen, "Johnston? You recently looked for this What? Could it be that you have discovered the location of this sunken ship? Do you want me to help? I know something about the Pacific War."

"I've been looking for this boat recently, but I didn't ask you for help on this matter."

Wei Ran paused, and said straight to the point, "I actually wanted to talk to Zhong Zhen directly. Since he didn't come, I can only rely on you to relay it."

"Let's talk about the matter directly," Xia Shushi urged, crossing his legs and puffing.

"I need some people." Wei Ran paused, and briefly described Hela's employment requirements.

"Are you sure you don't intend to do the skin business?" Xia Shushi looked at Wei Ran with a strange expression.

"If I want to start a flesh business, can't I just go to Wu Kelan to tease people?" Wei Ran said angrily, "And you see that the flesh business does not spare even scammers and disabled people?"

"That's right." Xia Shushi waved his hand casually, "I'll meet Zhong Zhen when I get back. You came here for such a shit?"

"There are other things." Wei Ran said with a smile, "Ask Zhong Zhen and the Second Emperor, if they would like to open several mental hospitals in Southeast Asia together."

"What the hell?" Xia Shushi's eyes on Wei Ran became more and more strange, "Brother, you are not confused among women, are you?"

"Can you really talk well?"

Wei Ran shook his head angrily, and after hiding the Hela organization, he briefly explained his plan as he could.

"No"

Xia Shushi pursed his lips, and asked dully, "What the hell is this bad idea of ​​a lunatic who lacks great virtue? Can... can. It's really exciting!"

"Are you interested now?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"I'm interested! I'm interested!" Xia Shushi took out his mobile phone while speaking, "Wait a minute, I, I, and I are Lian"

"Don't, don't, don't." Wei Ran stopped the other party, "You tell them both face to face about this, the significance of establishing a mental hospital is just for us to know."

"Okay, okay." Xia Shushi nodded hastily, "Is there anything else?"

"Business is gone, besides"

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go talk to Lola first!" Xia Shushi said, having already crushed out his cigarette and stood up.

"Why do you think Lola led the dog away just now?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Tell me! What else is there?"

Xia Shushi happily sat down again, even picked up the thin cigarette that had just been crushed out in the ashtray, put it in his mouth and lit it again.

Patting his forehead, Wei Ran pointed to the photo of the USS Johnston destroyer displayed on the computer screen, "You just said that you still understand the Pacific War?"

"Are you really planning to find this boat?" Xia Shushi asked with great interest.

"To be precise, I am going to find the captain of this frigate."

"Lieutenant Colonel Ernest Evans?" Xia Shushi asked almost without hesitation, "The Indian chief?"

"It seems that you really understand enough," Wei Ran said in surprise.

"You underestimate people, don't you?"

Xia Shushi tapped his temple, "We all eat this bowl of rice, so stop complimenting each other and tell me what you found. If there is no introduction, you have no reason to investigate this historical event."

"Come with me"

Wei Ran stood up while speaking, took Xia Shushi into the collection room, pointed to the shell casings on the table and the things inside the shell shells and said, "They are the primers."
