Chapter 1096 The whole story, tropical fruits and details in the photo album
From Lu Xinda's description, Wei Ran finally understood the whole story.
The reason why Lucky Luke sold his relics, including the photo album, was mainly to save money to install water purification equipment, solar energy and hydropower generation equipment in Samantha's tribe, to build a place that was clean enough, had electricity, and most importantly
It's just a tribal camp with a clinic.
Of course, all of the above were the ideas of Luke and his partner, Samantha's son. However, these two young men did not expect that their ideas would eventually lead to their own deaths.
The reason for doing this is firstly so that the indigenous people in the tribe can have a better living environment without having to rely on Samantha to use the wizard's divination and herbal medicine to treat illnesses. Secondly, Luke wants to bring some tourists to Samantha.
I just want to be a guest in Sha's tribe so that both myself and the indigenous people in the tribe can make money, and it can help the children in the tribe get out of the jungle.
Even for this reason, Lu Xinda deliberately applied for nursing school after graduating from middle school three years ago, just to help the aborigines in the tribe.
The reason why they have such a deep relationship seems to be related to the father of the old sailor Chris who adopted Iger, Lu Xinda and others.
In Lu Xinda's translation, the tribal witch named Samantha also gave a brief explanation. The general idea seemed to be that during World War II, their tribe once rescued Chris's father. Since then, the two sides have been together.
became friends.
The location of Samantha and her tribe is in the jungle along the Kokoda Trail, which has now become a hiking route.
But this has brought new problems. Since the father of the old sailor Chris participated in the Battle of Kokoda Trail in 1942, then the photo album recording the evil deeds of nuclear weapons and silk suckers during the Sandakan Death March
How did it come about?
Unfortunately, neither Cinda Lu nor Samantha could explain this question. According to Cinda Lu, in her memory, she had never seen this photo album before the death of the old sailor Chris.
Apart from the fact that this matter cannot be explained at the moment, this girl explained clearly what happened a few days ago.
According to her description, shortly after Luke and his partner had an accident, Iger bought a flight to Kazan. Samantha and her husband, who were suffering from the pain of losing their son, also took Lucinda and two others with them.
The child hid on a fishing boat at a small pier not far from Lai.
But even so, someone still found them. In order to protect the three children, Samantha's husband was killed. During the hunt, they were separated because they jumped into the river in the night.
In Lu Xinda's tearful description, Samantha only saved her in the end, and the other two younger siblings are still missing.
Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh secretly. Jia Ya must have known that the two children were dead, but she left the difficult job of notifying them of their deaths to Wei Ran.
After suppressing the news of the two children's deaths for the time being, Wei Ran also shifted the topic to where they hid later and how they were found.
According to Lu Xinda's explanation, the two of them had been escaping deep into the jungle after crawling out of the river. It was during this process that she accidentally broke her arm.
Samantha also knew that her wizard's healing skills were unreliable. In order to save Lu Xinda, she could only send the girl to another tribe she was familiar with to hide, while she took the money and Lu Xinda wrote on the cloth
After reading the letter for help, he returned to Laicheng to seek help from one of Lu Xinda's teachers.
What happened next was simple. As soon as this Melanesian tribe witch found Lu Xinda's teacher, she was caught by Jia Ya's men sent there to look for clues.
Fortunately, with Lucinda's teacher as a guarantor, and worried about her injury, the witch happily disclosed the hiding location, and then took a helicopter that she had never seen before returning to the hiding place.
The tribe picked up the injured Lu Xinda.
What made Wei Ran even more dumbfounded was that after the girl was taken back, the bone-setting work on her front feet was completed, and her back feet were put on a transport plane and transported to the Philippine Monkey Country. Then she and Samantha took the IL-76 transport plane to catch up with her.
Come to Kazan.
Calculating this, Wei Ran, who also took the transport plane back, was only one day earlier than the two of them.
At this point in the conversation, Anfiya, who had just landed in France, also made a video call. At the same time, a gangster drove a van into the yard and brought two little girls with him a sumptuous meal.
While the little gangsters and girls were helping to put the food on the table, Weiran and Anfiya communicated and stopped the original plan to let the Earhart organization buy the album. At the same time, they also reminded each other of the danger and danger.
It has not been released, so be sure to pay attention to safety after meeting Suisui.
Then he asked Anfiya to buy a ticket for Iger to fly back to Kazan alone, and then gave the opportunity of video call to Iger and Lu Xinda.
Although he didn't understand what the brothers and sisters were talking about in tribal dialect, Wei Ran still greeted the little gangsters and girls who were helping to buy food and left the room.
After he sent away the helper with a hard-earned fee, Greva drove back just in time. Seeing this, Wei Ran waited for the other person's car to stop, and then got in directly.
"That woman just now came on our transport plane?" Wei Ran asked after waiting for him to sit down.
"of course not"
Greva gave an answer that surprised Weiran, "I heard Dmitri say that the little girl and the old woman were put into the transport plane in cargo boxes before they took off. They said it was your arrangement and they wanted to take them with them.
They both enter the country as goods and deliver them to your home.
As for the lady just now, I met her at the door when I drove the girl and the old woman here. She said she was your friend and wanted to meet you. She also said she arranged to drop off the little girl in the car.
She's here, and it seems to me that the little girl does seem to know her."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this point, Greva grinned, "Victor, did I get into trouble?"
"No." Wei Ran waved his hand gently, "She is indeed my friend."
After saying that, he directly changed the subject and asked, "I heard from Anfiya that Iger has red and black thorns tattooed on his wrist?"
"Yes." Greva grinned stupidly, "I swear on my mother, Iger joined us voluntarily."
"Why did he join your gang for nothing?" Wei Ran asked in confusion, "Also, why don't I remember which of you can speak English?"
"I have recently gained a few highly educated subordinates."
Greva said proudly, "They are all college students. Although they don't speak English well, at least they have no problem communicating."
"they?"
"I was wrong, it was them," Greva denied with white teeth.
"Okay, it's them. So why did Egg join your gang?"
Wei Ran rubbed his temples helplessly. If he could pee in the same pot as Ji Ma, that bastard, don't expect him to be able to control his lower body.
“For those tropical fruits, of course”
Greva confidently gestured with his hands, "Not to mention the things I have never seen before, he said that the bananas there are all this big!"
"For what? For tropical fruits?" Wei Ran looked at Greva in astonishment.
"I was responsible for selling the tropical fruits that were flown to Kazan before."
Greva became increasingly proud, “All large supermarkets in Kazan, including several passenger trains, have purchased our tropical fruits.
Moreover, after consulting with Her Majesty Queen Aurora, I also started the business of ordering tropical fruits online and by phone for home delivery.
I have so many young men, and I can’t let them always waste their energy on women and gyms, and those vans, and I can’t just take them.”
"Stop, stop for a moment."
Wei Ran stopped the chattering Greva, "So what does this have to do with Egg?"
"It will be relevant immediately"
At this time, Greva, who was looking completely cheerful, subconsciously raised his voice, "We have never been to their country, but Iger is familiar enough there, and he guarantees that he can get fruits that are cheap enough and of good enough quality.
He also said that he has enough helpers who are very strict and completely trustworthy.
Of course I will let such a young man join us, so that in the future our Polar Thorns can also be said to be a transnational gang organization."
"Polar Thorn? What kind of stupid name is this?"
Wei Ran secretly grinned, "Who gave this name to the Extreme Thorns? Weren't you guys called Inta athletes before?"
"Of course I started it"
Greva patted his chest with increasing pride, "Inta Athlete is our name internally, and of course we need a more resounding name externally."
"So you, this transnational gang with a big name, sell fruit?"
"Noble one."
"Don't add those titles."
Wei Ran felt his headache getting worse, and even the bastard in front of him began to overlap with that idiot Ji Ma.
"Anyway, April said there is no shame in making money."
Greva grinned honestly, "Although tropical fruits are very common in big cities like Kazan, in the countryside and Siberia, these fruits are more useful than rubles. The reindeer we recently transported to the Philippine Monkey Country by plane,
Quite a few of them were obtained in exchange for fruits."
"So you still plan to continue this business?"
Wei Ran asked subconsciously. He really couldn't bear to tell the other party that the flights between Kazan and the Philippine Monkey Country would probably be suspended after only a few more flights.
After all, he had come back, and the temporarily opened route had no value. If it was just transporting fruits in the future, there would be no profit. He didn't think the teachers at the Hongqi Forestry Farm would waste the military transport plane so much.
"Of course, this matter is supported by Mr. Culp and Aunt Anna."
Greva once again gave an answer that surprised Weihan, "Although there will only be one flight to and from Papua New Guinea per week, it is enough."
"How could they agree to such a thing?" Wei Ran muttered subconsciously.
“With a price”
Greva grinned, "Every time we take out some rare tropical fruits and distribute them to children in polar or rural schools."
"Oh, these living Soviets."
Wei Ran muttered to himself, but he no longer had any doubts.
Objectively speaking, whether it is Nikolai who lives in seclusion in Volgograd, Karp and others hiding in the Red Flag Forest Farm, or Dalia on the shore of Lake Ladoga, or even the strange old Ivan who sinks into the lake, or even lives in the polar town of Tula.
The other Ivan, are they short of money?
They really don’t seem to be particularly short of money. Looking at what people who know them have done in the past few years, it seems that nothing is really for the purpose of making money. Including taking classes at Hongqi Forest Farm, but the tuition fees were not refunded in the end.
Already yourself?
After dispelling the thoughts in his mind, Wei Ran asked with a smile, "So Aige will become your tropical fruit purchaser from now on?"
"It would be best if we can cooperate. Of course, the premise is that you can let him go."
Greva scratched the back of his head honestly, "I've never done business, so I don't know if it's possible, but Aurora has already agreed to help, so I guess there shouldn't be any big problem, and the lady just now was also in the car with me.
I said, maybe we will rent our transport aircraft in the future."
"I guess there won't be any problem." Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder, "Stay for a meal?"
"Forget it today," Greva grinned, "I made an appointment with my girlfriend to watch a movie together in the evening."
"You have a girlfriend?" Wei Ran was slightly surprised.
“Today’s exclusive girlfriend”
"Pretend I didn't ask." Wei Ran opened the car door dumbfounded and did not waste the other party's time any further.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After sending Greva away, when he returned to the room, Lu Xinda had also hung up the call with her brother Egg.
However, neither she nor the wizard named Samantha touched the food on the table at this time.
"Eat whatever you want, you're welcome." Wei Ran said as gently as possible, "I'm going to wash my hands, you can just eat first."
Hearing this, Lu Xinda glanced at Samantha beside her, and then at Wei Ran who walked into the bathroom. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still used her uninjured hand to pick up a piece of hot bread and handed it to her.
He grabbed Samantha next to him, and then she picked up another piece of bread and brought it to her mouth and took a big bite.
By the time Wei Ran arrived at the dining table, the two women had only a palm-sized piece of bread left in their hands, and the red cabbage soup in front of them had also bottomed out.
"I don't know if it's to your taste," Wei Ran said as he gave the two of them another large bowl of beetroot soup and potato stew.
"It's very, very delicious." Lu Xinda said with difficulty, obviously not choking, and then subconsciously picked up the red cabbage soup and took a sip.
"Eat slowly, there is plenty of food."
Wei Ran tried his best to appear gentler, and while handing over a tissue, he looked for a topic and asked, "I remember you said you were about to graduate from nursing school?"
At any rate, after the exchange just before the meal and the video call with Iger, the girl finally became less reserved. She took the tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth while replying, "Yes, I only have one year left of internship before I can graduate."
, and I studied in a Chinese-run nursing school.”
"How are your grades?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"It's not bad." Lu Xinda has the customary modesty of Chinese people.
"What are your plans next?" Wei Ran asked following the topic.
"I don't know." Lu Xinda hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Jia Ya said, let us follow your arrangements."
Hearing this, Wei Ran sighed secretly, "Let's wait until Aige comes back."
"Yeah" Lu Xinda nodded, but her expression was full of confusion.
After having a late lunch with the couple, Wei Ran arranged for them to stay in two rooms next to each other on the third floor. Then he returned to the fireplace and sat on the recliner to ponder the information he had obtained during the day.
.
The information obtained by Jia Ya and Lu Xinda was nothing special. One of them did not need to lie to herself, and the other did not dare to lie to herself and could not lie to herself.
But Greva's rhetoric is interesting. Although this guy is now a gang leader, based on Wei Ran's understanding of him, he will never think of starting a business of importing tropical fruits. There is definitely someone behind this.
I gave him some advice.
As for who is the person behind this.
After going through a sieve in his mind, Wei Ran was the first to exclude the teachers at Hongqi Forestry Farm and Suisui who fell in Qian's eyes.
Needless to say about the former, those teachers would not waste this time at all. As for Suisui, if she was really in charge of this matter, she would not give up until she squeezed out the oil from those tropical fruits.
Since it's not these people, could it be Jima or Maya?
Wei Ran quickly eliminated these two people. As for Ji Ma's words, if he could really think of such a way to make money, he would have called him overnight to show off.
After much deliberation, Wei Ran's final target of suspicion fell on the Katenka sisters.
Of course he had reason to suspect the two sisters. If nothing else, the first and most convenient tropical fruit flight from Kazan to Papua New Guinea was the Hella organization they were responsible for.
You know, the only difference between Papua New Guinea Customs and the airport and the sieve is that the eyes are bigger.
When this route stabilizes, both the Hela girls and the girls from the Succubus Company can use it as a secret transportation stop by transporting tropical fruits.
Wei Ran knew very well in his heart that the sisters were not hiding this from him. He was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and the troublesome twins probably didn't expect him to take the initiative to worry about such a thing.
When he figured it out, he also noticed Lu Xinda coming down the stairs alone, and the photo album in Lu Xinda's arms.
"Just now in the video, Iger asked me to give you the photo album." Lu Xinda said, handing the photo album in her hand to Wei Ran, who sat up from the rocking chair.
"How much do I need to pay?" Wei Ran asked with a smile as he took the album and pointed at another rocking chair by the fireplace.
"Iger didn't say anything." Lu Xinda sat in the rocking chair cautiously, "He just asked me to give you the photo album first, and besides."
"What?" Wei Ran looked at the other party with a smile.
"Can you help me find my younger brothers and sisters?" Lu Xinda asked carefully, "Them."
Hearing this, Wei Ran opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond to the other party's request.
"They...are they dead?" Lu Xinda asked with a hint of panic.
Wei Ran sighed secretly, and nodded imperceptibly, "Sorry, we couldn't save them. They, Luke and his partner were all buried in the yard behind your big house in Lai.
.”
"Thanks"
After Lu Xinda finished speaking, she covered her mouth and tried not to cry, then stepped on the stairs and ran upstairs.
Wei Ran shook his head weakly, and finally opened the crocodile skin photo album that was placed on his lap again.
Compared with the reprinted photos I saw at the beginning, in this loose-leaf photo album, the photos fixed on the cardboards have some mildew spots and are somewhat yellowed overall, but they look particularly clear.
Each of these photos contains footage of several nuclear-recruited soldiers torturing and killing prisoners of war in various ways.
Moreover, the close distance at which these photos were taken also implies that the person who took these photos was very likely to be the same group of these violent Japanese.
As he flipped through the photos one by one, he also noticed that in these photos, the protagonists who tortured and killed prisoners of war seemed to be just three recruiting soldiers.
Thanks to the fact that these photos were taken clearly enough and well preserved, he could easily identify them. Among the three recruits, one of them had the rank of Warrant Officer, and the other two had the rank of Commander Cao.
and sergeant.
In these thirty or so photos alone, Wei Ran could identify more than ninety people who had been beheaded, chopped off limbs, or had their abdominal cavities cut open with command knives by the three men.
The mutilated body of a tattered British military uniform.
In one of the close-ups, the three core-killing demons stood side by side with sheathed samurai swords in one hand, and each held a large handful of soldier cards in their other hands.
Standing up and taking out a magnifying glass, Wei Ran could clearly see that in this black and white photo, although the original colors of the soldier cards held in his hand could not be seen, they could still be clearly distinguished.
There are both octagonal and round signs inside.
He knew that it was an identification tag issued to British or Australian soldiers, nicknamed the "dead meat ticket". He even knew that those round small plates were brick red and those octagonal small plates were green.
of.
These two small signs, one red and one green, form a group, and each group represents a once vivid life.
But the three beasts, each holding a handful of soldier cards, had bright smiles on their faces, as if they were just gentlemen who had just played a pleasant golf game.
Continuing to scroll back, the contents of the following photos are basically the same. The only difference is probably just the cruelty of the evil deeds in different ways.
At the end of the page, a few color photos finally appeared in this photo album.
Just like the content in the reprinted photos I saw originally, these few color photos seem to record the life of an Australian soldier after the war.
This included the old photos of the wreckage of the plane that the female dog organization named Earhart desperately wanted to obtain.
Continuing to turn back, the remaining blank cardboard pages of this photo album are fixed with white paper bags that are about the size of a ZPPO lighter. Each of these paper bags contains a negative.
Touching the spot in the center of the page where a paper bag was obviously missing, Wei Ran continued to turn back, but on the next few cardboard pages, no photos or negatives appeared.
On the inside of the crocodile leather back cover, there is a handwritten signature of "Nagasuka Joeji" on the light yellow lining cloth. Next to the signature, there is a black and white photo that is firmly pasted on the lining cloth and is only about the size of a cigarette box.
In this photo, there is a man wearing a kimono and wooden clogs, round lens glasses on his face, and a rangefinder camera hanging on his chest.
This gentle-looking man is holding a cigarette pipe in one hand, and holding a wolf green dog squatting at his feet in the other hand. Behind the two brothers, there is a huge hemorrhoid hanging on the wall.
flag.
Gently closing the thick photo album, Wei Ran had already made a plan in his heart after thinking about it for a while.
