In the study room with surprisingly good sound insulation, Wei Ran's mood dissipated as the lingering sound of the Guangling San song dissipated, and he became much calmer.
Waving his hand to put away Guqin Yaoguang, he looked up at the bed hanging on the wall. Wei Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, closed the door, and lay down on the bed he had used since elementary school. I went to the iron frame bed where I graduated from high school, took out the metal book, and took out a stack of negatives from the paper bag next to the two big photos.
Looking at the windows one by one, in addition to the photos I took, there are also several photos that seem to have been taken by the Japanese reporter who was killed by me in the bathhouse.
In these negatives, in addition to various street scenes of Xin'an City at that time, as well as the Japs slogans that appeared in almost every shot, there is also a short, fat Japs hanging a command knife. There are photos of him giving candies to a few ragged children with a fake smile on his face, as well as photos of the Japanese soldier standing under a plaster banner and saluting.
In addition to the other negatives that were not taken by me, there are also photos of Japanese girls in kimonos dancing with small fans.
Continuing to scroll back, he found the group photo taken of everyone in Han Shoutian's yard, as well as the photos taken when Han Shoutian got married.
Looking at the rice-sized figures on the film, Wei Ran gradually closed his eyes and matched them one by one with the vivid friends in his memory.
It’s time to take a photo of Sanhai...
Wei Ran muttered to himself and fell asleep with only regret. In his sleep, he returned to his great-great-grandfather Han Shoutian's wedding, and he exchanged glasses with his familiar friends, chatting about their experiences during the war years and their visions for a new life after the war.
Outside of the dream, with a soft "click" sound, the security door was opened with a key from the outside, and Suisui also walked into the room carrying large and small bags of luggage.
"Fortunately, I hid the key in advance! I'm so smart!" Suisui praised herself and put the spare key back into the doormat's mezzanine.
Shooting into the security door and pushing the two huge suitcases to the side, Suisui cheered, put on her slippers and rushed into the bathroom. She didn't notice the closed curtains in the living room and the basin. Turned pothos.
At the same time, Wei Ran, who was sleeping soundly in the study, also woke up in a daze. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the dim sky outside the window, then stretched out and got up, left the study and walked to the bathroom.
Almost at the same time, the two of them grabbed the handrail from the bathroom door, one pushed in, the other pulled in. As the door opened, the four eyes of the two people also bumped into each other. .
"Ah——!" Suisui screamed and hit the door with a "bang!"
"Wu Cao!" Wei Ran covered his sore nose, which almost made him cry!
A "hoo" sound, Suisui opened the door again, "Why are you here?!"
"It's my turn to ask you this!" Wei Ran grinned and asked, "When did you come in!"< /p>
"I just came in, how about you?" Suisui glanced at the nosebleeds dripping on the floor, grinned and said apologetically, "Well...I'll get you a tissue."
< p> "Give me a moment..." Wei Ran covered his nose and walked to the edge of the sink. He managed to avoid breaking the bridge of his nose just now.After he washed his nose and blocked his nostrils with the tissue handed to him, he said angrily, "I came back at noon and just took a nap. Just wake up. "
"It's so dark, I thought there was a burglar in the house." Suisui turned on the light in the living room, "Well, are you okay?"
"It's okay" Wei Ran sniffed, "Why did you come to this house?"
"I forgot to bring the key" Suisui opened the curtains and replied, "Godfather My godmother won't be back for more than an hour, so I have to wait here."
"How did you get in without the key?"
"It's on the doormat. "I have a spare key," Suisui said with her hands on her hips, "Since you were inside, why didn't you make a sound when I opened the door? Did you mean to scare me?"
"Ancestor, I'm sleeping in the study." "Wei Ran changed the paper ball, "Which one made the sound insulation of that room so good?"
"You still blame me?" Suisui picked up the paper and threw it to Wei Ran. He complained angrily, "I was almost scared to death, okay?"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you."
Wei Ran pinched his nose and made sure The bridge of his nose was not broken, so he asked, "It's such a big holiday. If you don't go out to play, why are you here?"
"Put your winter clothes back" Suisui walked to the refrigerator. Asked, "What about you? Why did you come back here when you had nothing to do?"
"Get some things for the postgraduate entrance examination" Wei Ran moved out and made an excuse in advance.
"It's bad luck for me." Suisui took a breath, wrapped the ice box in a towel and handed it to Wei Ran.
"Which one of us is unlucky?"
Wei Ran took the towel angrily and covered his nose. It was a blessing that he was at home. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have stopped. He subconsciously took out the pistol, and now it was Suisui who was unlucky. But just in the moment of delay when he retracted the pistol, the thick door panel slapped him in the face. < /p>
"I'm giving you a surprise." Wei Ran glanced at the big pole that served as the background wall, "I didn't expect it to turn into a shock."
"You deserve it!"
< p> Suisui sat down next to Wei Ran, pushed away the towel he was wearing and took a look to make sure there were no other wounds on his nose, and then he breathed a sigh of relief."This time I willhow long? " Suisui asked, sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
"I'll go back when the vacation is over." Wei Ran put the cold towel on his nose again, "I plan to go to grandma's house tomorrow, why didn't you go out? Play? "
Suisui rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "What a coincidence, I plan to go to grandma's house too! ”
While these two men and women with different ideas were discussing the arrangements for returning to their grandma’s house, Jima, who was far away in Inta, was taken on the plane by the teacher Dalia who made a sudden visit.
As the old An-2 took off, Culp, who was also in the cabin, also threw a stack of information to Ji Ma, who looked like a dog in clothes.
Ru. This season, Marco is no longer the gangster he once was in the village outside Kazan City. Not to mention the income that the tourism business has brought him. Not long ago, he asked Professor Alexei to help sell the ticket in the abandoned military. The signed photos of the astronauts found in the base are enough for him to live a pretty good life for a year or two.
But as just said, the current Jimo is not the same as before. A bastard who spent his money on women's beds. As soon as the money from selling autographed photos came into his account, he invested it in the management of the two camps without hesitation.
"What is this?" "
Ji Ma opened the file and saw that the content above was a detailed file. Or to use a more accurate description, this was a file that was detailed enough to send the owner of the file to the execution ground and be shot.
"Your individual assessment content"
Culp said loudly while sitting next to Jima, "These two people are about fifty kilometers west of Vorkuta. The forest here occupies an abandoned lead mine for drug production. Basically, almost all the reading materials that can be found in Vorkuta are made by the two of them. "
Jima was about to pick up the communication headset, but Culp stopped him with his hand. Seeing this, he could only ask loudly, "Are you performing surgery on them again this time? "
"Kill them"
Culp responded loudly, "By the way, blow up their poison-making equipment. Other than that, don't leave any traces. After completing the mission, Find your own way back to Vorkuta, we will wait for you at the airport in Vorkuta for a week. "
"Why do you want me to do this? "Jima asked loudly, his face clearly showing some displeasure. After all, killing is different from hunting, and there is a huge difference between cutting something off the other person's body.
"The other party makes money by selling drugs. "They made a lot of money," Culp seduced, "and they also used the money to do the mammoth ivory business. Before summer came, the money was all on them." ”
Before Culp finished speaking, Jima had already picked up the parachute on the back seat and put it on himself, “Culp, you must swear to the great Comrade Lenin and Stalin that you did not lie to me!” "
"I swear to Comrade Lenin, Comrade Stalin, and Comrade Beria that I did not lie to you. "
Culp smiled and raised three fingers and said,"As long as you leave no traces, no matter how much money you get from these two drug dealers, it will be yours."
"Are there only two of them?" Ji Ma, whose eyes were almost green, was excited. asked.
"There are only three at most"
Culp took off a VSS sniper rifle fixed on the cabin wall and handed it to the other party, "Your target is a team in Worku The only person who works in the tower is the woman's father. The old guy is the only one you need to be careful about. He was a doctor in the local garrison during the Soviet era, and he was also a doctor. An excellent hunter."
Jima took the gun and responded confidently, "There is no better hunter than me north of the Arctic Circle."
"But. I hope so."
Culp handed over a heavy backpack and a satellite phone, "Besides, in order to ensure that you are not discovered by the other party, you can only skydive at night. This is the only thing in the entire assessment. It is an uncontrollable link, so only if you have an accident while skydiving, you can contact me via satellite phone to terminate the assessment."
"Last question" Ji Ma took the backpack and fixed it on his chest, holding it. The voice asked, "Why don't you bring Victor with you for such a good thing?"
"He has other assessment tasks"
Culp responded loudly, bringing the night After handing over the helmet with the vision device, he changed the topic to the precautions for skydiving at night, and carefully warned Jima.
After nearly an hour of flight, Dalia, who was in charge of piloting the plane, turned off the engine and allowed the powerless plane to glide silently over the target.
In the cabin that suddenly became much quieter, Culp immediately buckled his seat belt when he saw this. When the red light on the bulkhead came on, he opened the cabin door.
Ji Ma turned on the night vision device on his helmet, lowered his head and confirmed that the GPS tied to his arm was working properly, and then rushed out of the cabin without hesitation.
It wasn’t until Jima’s parachute deployed successfully that Culp pressed the switch to close the hatch, bent down and got into the cockpit.
"Jima doesn't have teaching fees," Teacher Dalia said meaningfully.
"But Victor taught me, even if it was just a symbolic lesson." Culp replied with a smile, "Every KGB needs a partner who is trustworthy and has strong skills, right? "?"
"You just want to have evidence of Ji Ma's murder to prevent him from getting out of control, right?" Dalia asked in a murmur.
Culp leaned to the window and looked at the forest shrouded in darkness and snow. He also muttered as if speaking to himself, "It's also for his own good, lest he learn too much that he didn't originally have." What he learned later became uncontrollable."
"Where's Victor?" Dalia, who still didn't start the engine, changed the topic to Wei Ran.
"The captain never said he needed to control Victor" Culp said fromHe took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out two and lit them, and then handed one of them to Dalia.
"The captain didn't say that Ji Ma needs to be controlled"
"That's because Ji Ma is not qualified and needs to be reminded by the captain"
Culp spat out a thick mouthful After a long silence, until Dalia was about to restart the engine, she asked, "Dalia, do you think the captain is going to let Victor do that?"
"How is that possible!" Before Dalia could finish her words, the roar of the propellers had already entered the cabin, which also ended the endless conversation between the two.
At the same time, Ji Ma also landed on the ground without any danger.
With quick hands and feet, Ji Ma stuffed the parachute into his bag and hung it on a unique pine tree. He glanced at the GPS fixed on his arm and saw that the distance to the target was less than five kilometers. He quickly removed the skis and poles attached to his bag.
Before setting off, he looked up at the dark night sky and saw that there was no trace of the plane that dropped him. Then he looked away, pushed his ski pole hard, and moved very quickly. Rushed into the coniferous forest.
After all, he took free classes at the Hongqi Forest Farm for more than half a year. Even if he didn’t deliberately understand many things, he could guess some of them, including Culp, Dalia and even Principal Nicholas. Another identity that was never revealed before Weiran appeared.
However, for Ji Ma, who has been living a tight life for as long as he can remember, the improvement in the family's life has been obvious since meeting Wei Ran, so even if Culp's sudden change He was given a dangerous mission to kill people, even though he could vaguely guess that it might get him into trouble.
This little gangster who once struggled and wandered at the bottom of society also agreed without thinking. Although he had never heard the Chinese saying that people and money die and birds die for food, he also knew that if this time He refused, and everything he had now would probably disappear in a short time.
As for resentment or grudge, he would not have such dangerous and stupid ideas. After all, even if you are a member of a gang, you must obtain a certificate of surrender. Now, even if the Soviet Union has long since disintegrated, it is still much better to follow the KGB, which was once synonymous with terror, than to join a gang, right?
“I hope Culp didn’t lie to me,” Ji Ma, who had never been so sober in his life, muttered, then pushed his ski pole hard and accelerated his progress again.
