Chapter 213: Forty-Eight Hours (34)
I took the book and didn't look at it again. First of all, I couldn't read it, and secondly, I didn't want to look at the letter home full of dried blood, which had become a mutilated suicide note. I put the notebook away and put it in my pocket.
"This... Are you ready to hand it over to them? The old guy looked at me and asked.
"Yes. No one wants to see this, but I think it's better to leave it to them. I think Yugovic wants that too. There has to be an explanation. I said.
"Let Nicky go?"
"Yes. Bring the money I said I would divide it up with. Divide them all and go home, or go abroad, and in short, live a good life. I looked around, "I want to get out of here... Don't want to stay in the hospital. ”
But just as I turned my head to leave, the old fellow Eunice said, "It seems that we can't leave." He cocked his chin as he spoke, "The old thing is here." ”
I looked in the direction his chin was pointing. Sure enough, at a doorway not far away, an elderly man with hairy eyes, a beard, and dressed almost indistinguishably from the locals stood there.
To be honest, if it weren't for Younis's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed such a person. There were a lot of people here, and the point was that the old guy's appearance was very different from what I remembered, under the cover and grooming of his beard, eyes, and hat. It reminds me of the pictures of Eunice training us before and playing with us in disguise.
"How did you recognize him? Are you all good at doing these things? I asked in a low voice.
"What's the matter? Are you talking about hiding yourself or discovering others? Younis said with a sudden change of tone, "Are you interested?" I can leave it all to you, teach it by hand, and guarantee that you will become a master in half a year, at most a year. Really, I was a high-achieving student back then. . . That one.. ”
"Stop, stop, stop... I repeat, I'm not interested. And what does it mean that he is waving to us now? I asked.
"Of course it's calling us over. Do you think we're beckoning to welcome us? The old fellow said as he walked towards Klinger.
As I walked towards Klinger, I soon noticed that Klinger was not the only one who had come, there were two people standing not far from him, presumably on guard. These two people are also very inconspicuous when they don't pay attention, and it can be seen from their eyes that they just seem to be leisurely.
The two men gave us a quick glance as we approached, and after a slight hint from Klinger, Younis and I came to Klinger's side.
Younis looked around and said, "Are you here to capture us?" What do you do with so many people? ”
I looked around in surprise when he said this. Because listening to the old guy, Klinger brought far more people than the two just now. But when I looked around, I didn't find anything special, I thought a lot of them were similar, but they weren't like anything.
"Don't look at it. There are at least four more around here that the old guy has brought in. Younis said, looking at me.
Klinger sneered and took us aside, and after the two equally quiet security guards moved their positions, Klinger spoke, "You two bastards are really beyond my expectations." I've already organized people to pick you up. But I didn't expect it. You weren't the last ones to escape. ”
Well? I don't seem to be very angry when I listen to the tone of the old thing. And just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Klinger suddenly changed the tone and said, "But I prefer you to escape." ”
I glanced at Younis beside me. I saw Younis's innocent look, as if there was nothing wrong with him here. Klinger seemed very unhappy with the two of us. He paused and raised his voice, "I had to wipe your ass. See what I mean? I mean all kinds of wipes, the kind of rubs that feel like paper and hands are not enough... ”
/
"He doesn't understand ... All he knows is that he has a gun... The old fellow Younis said very indecently as he made a shooting gesture.
Now.. I could clearly see that the veins on Klinger's head were already rising... I rolled my eyes and still looked indifferent to Eunice...
"Huh. Oh, yes.. He didn't understand. What about you? Don't you old bastard know? What do I want you to do here? Is it also here to come to Tututu? Not only did you not stop it, but you used so many connections and forces to do it. And then what to do? How do I go about erasing the traces of these people? How? You tell me, don't tell me your method is also abrupt! ”
I understand why Klinger has a big problem with what we do, and I understand what the old guy really meant by what he said earlier. In fact, these truths are not complicated, simply put, after doing these things, some hidden forces are passively used to do some big or small things. If the whole thing is analyzed by someone who cares about it, then it will definitely find some traces of personnel involvement, and these traces will increase the risk of exposure of these people who were originally hidden or hidden. Just like the Battle of the Hundred Regiments that year, not only did the Japanese reassess the threat and strength of the Eighth Route Army, but even the chairman of the committee also felt that it was unexpected.
"But now that it's done, is it useful to say this?" Younis asked rhetorically with a hob-knife look.
"Hah... Klinger laughed suddenly, but it seemed to me more like an angry backlaugh, "yes... It's useless now. I also don't think it's useful to talk about that now. But did you listen to it when it was useful before? Have you listened to even a word from me? He looked at me, "Did you hear that?" ”
I looked at Eunice, "What? You haven't contacted me. What do I listen to? ”
When Klinger heard me say this, he glared at the old fellow Eunice fiercely. But after glaring at me, he looked at me again and said, "Paul, they say that you are a timid and cautious, very sensible, obedient person. Originally, I thought so. But I suddenly realized I was wrong. Judging by the series of things you've been doing here, you're more of a grumpy irregular armed group leader. If you say kill, you will kill, if you say slaughter, if you say that you will divide the money, if you say revenge, you will take revenge at all cost. I didn't think about anything else at all. I'll ask you. Where is your professionalism, professionalism? Have it? Did I really send you here to be a gang bully? ”
Hearing the gang bully, I suddenly had a surge of anger skewering from the soles of my feet. I suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Are my fallen comrades bandits?" Why didn't you say we were bandit bullies when you went to save that fugitive loser? Many of my people died and their bodies can't even be found, are you going to tell them that they are bandits and bullies? "By the time I stepped forward, the two security guards had already moved towards me.
"Let them all move." Younis suddenly spoke, "If you don't have stupid people, you can stay honest, although this place is a hospital, but if their actions attract the attention of those Serbs, you will not be able to leave alive, and I will not be able to save you." ”
Klinger was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two men and signaled that they were all right. I looked around and continued, "What if I slaughtered Salish? And what about the slaughter of those bandits? I still have to divide the money, whatever you say, I've done everything. You can't stop me. Also, I'll tell you, I'm quitting. I'll go home after I divide the money. If you want to deal with me, you can do whatever you want. ”
"I said we weren't without gains. We caught the liaison officer of the Eastern Battalion, and there were some clues, maybe the same as the guy in the United States. Younis whispered to Klinger.
"Huh? Why didn't you say it before? Klinger's attention was diverted by Younis.
Younis sneered and said, "You're coming, it's better to say it in person." I think you've talked to the liaison officer in person, and you've listened to my analysis, and you'll feel that none of this is as worthless as you thought. ”
Klinger looked down for a moment after listening to Eunice's words and said, "I hope what I see and hear is something that has been sorted out and has credibility and value. ”
"Of course. Are you doubting my IQ? only
Even if I wanted to justify this incident, I wouldn't find some worthless reason. Younis said very seriously.
Klinger apparently agreed with Eunice's statement, looked around and said, "Then we're going to find a place." This is not a good place to chat. ”
"Let's go to his cottage." Younis pointed at me, "It's remote enough and it's safe. ”
Klinger looked at me and nodded, "Yes." Then we'll go right away. ”
Younis looked at me, "Let's go, my Excellency Operation Captain." Go back and keep doing what you want. ”
Before leaving, I went to see Milk. Milk was still asleep, and his condition was relatively stable. The man's wife and Grande watched from outside the hospital room, and they were going to stay here to take care of Milk.
After making simple arrangements and leaving the men to take care of me, I took the rest of the men and Klinger and them on a journey to my cottage. Although everyone is together, the meaning is different. The two old guys are looking forward to new progress in their work, and me? It's to finish my job.
