sarajevo sniper

There was another light snow in the afternoon, and the temperature dropped even lower.The river freezes, and some people dig holes the size of washbasins in the ice for fishing. If you are lucky enough to catch fish, it means a free meal.There were a lot of lucky people, so the river was devastated.

After the snow stopped, a car stopped at the hotel next to the Princip Bridge. The hotel waiter rushed to open the door, but the guests in the car were still reluctant to get out.The waiter Jiao waited for a while, and couldn't help being curious, squinting his eyes and quietly peeping inside the car.I saw an officer in uniform sitting on the side of the car door, but I couldn't see the other one inside, and I could hear the officer's soft and low coaxing words when I listened carefully.

"Get out of the car." The colonel said, "It's just a couple of glasses of wine and talking to everyone, it's nothing."

Did not hear the answer, the colonel continued to coax with a good temper: "I promise, I won't let others embarrass you, okay?"

After persuading them for 10 minutes, the two were ready to get out of the car.The waiter thought to himself, there is a grand banquet held in the hotel today, these celebrities and distinguished guests are really not easy to serve.I'm afraid it was the charming and self-willed female companion who lost her temper that made the officer so flattering.

At this time, the officer got out of the car and stretched out his hand into the car, meaning to lead the man out of the car.Unexpectedly, the person inside unceremoniously rejected his kindness, and insisted on holding on to the car door to get out by himself.The waiter took a closer look and found that there was no beautiful female companion, but it was indeed a man.

Lin Nai had a new plaster cast on his leg, and he still walked awkwardly.Leto brought him a crutch, which gave him a support for his left hand.The youngest colonel of the Bosnian government army brought a "disabled person" to the banquet, which immediately attracted the attention of many guests.

"This is a charity banquet to raise funds for the construction of the orphanage. Many people came from other places. The goal tonight is 100 million US dollars." Leto introduced with a smile: "With this money, because Orphans lost in war will have a place to go.”

Lin Nai didn't care about the rich and nobles in the room: "So? Why do you want me to come here?"

Leto held him seriously: "Because you made me angry, so you have to accompany me to socialize. That's why."

Linnai hated socializing, he felt like a circus monkey being pulled out by Leto to make people laugh.Snipers are loners, and he hates all social activities.He sarcastically said: "You can let me go, so I will never make you angry."

"Tonight, let's forget about this question, shall we?" Leto brought him a glass of champagne.

Linnai's new identity is a low-key overseas Chinese businessman who lives in Austria all the year round.He has been friends with the colonel of the Bosnian government army for many years. With the help of the colonel, he decided to participate in the reconstruction of the investment welfare home.

The identity and story are all made up by the Colonel, except for the location "Austria"."Why Austria?" asked the colonel.

The sniper looked around while drinking: "Because I only know German."

"You also speak the Bosniak dialect very well. You learned it during special forces training?"

"Ah."

"What else have you learned?"

"Besides a mess of dialects, there's English and Russian."

The conversation between the two was interrupted at this time, and they met the host of the banquet, Mrs. Blanc Lavaux.She is a yellow and thin woman with age spots all over her face, her eyebrows are so thin and pale that they are almost invisible, and her broad and clean forehead falls directly to the eye sockets without a buffer zone in between.Because of her old age and the problem of watery eyes, she always kept a wrinkled handkerchief in her hand.

"Leto, my dear." She opened her hands and gave the Colonel a warm hug: "I am so glad to see you."

The colonel hugged her back: "It is our honor that you are willing to come to Sarajevo."

Mrs. Brown Lavaux smiled and looked at Linnai: "Is this your friend?"

"Introduce, this is Linnaeus Lev." The colonel did not lie to her: "Linnaeus, this is Sarah."

Mrs. Blanclavau showed more than a little surprise: "This is the one..."

The colonel took the words: "Yes, he is a new friend."

Mrs. Brown Lavaux wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and shook hands with Linnai: "Mr. Lev, I have long loved you. Just call me Sarah."

Lin Nai thought she was so surprised when she recognized him as a news person a few days ago: "Hello."

The three of them went to the corner to talk.Mrs. Brown Laveau talked about the orphanage: "Everything is waiting to be done. It's not just about money. There are already several social workers who can't work anymore and want to resign. I don't blame them for such an anxious and tense situation. It is inevitable for people to panic. But now it is too difficult to find a responsible social worker, and we don’t have so much money. If we can’t hire a good social worker, it will be very bad for the children. I have encountered Too many stories of social workers abusing children."

"It doesn't have to be a professional, as long as she has excellent character, even if she doesn't have professional knowledge, it's fine, just work and study at the same time. I also contacted some churches, and they might be able to recommend good candidates." Leto said.

"I also have concerns about the venue. I have already contacted several places, and I will go to see it tomorrow, but the rent in Sarajevo is still a bit too high. I even consider whether to move to Tuzla."

"The price is negotiable, and the most important thing is safety. The base of the Serbian army is in Tuzla, where the Serbs have the final say. Now the situation is at the mercy of others, but the situation in Sarajevo is not bad. Balance. When the orphanage resumes operations, I can also apply for the recruitment of guards to defend it."

"That will cause you too much trouble, and you will inevitably be said to be using public power for private use."

"This is a good thing for the society, and I didn't take advantage of it. How can it be regarded as corruption?"

Madame Blanclaveau shook his hand with satisfaction: "I know you are a kind and good boy, and your mother will be proud of you, Leto."

The colonel led her to a more remote window: "Actually, I came to see you today. Apart from the orphanage, there is another important piece of good news. I originally wanted to visit Zagorje at the first time, but I heard that you It took a little while to come to Sarajevo."

Mrs. Brown Laveau joked: "There are not many good news in such days, are there?"

"I inquired about Eric." Leto said.

The woman froze for a moment, as if she didn't hear what he said clearly. After a while, she showed a surprised expression, and impulsively covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from screaming.Lin Nai noticed that her fingers were trembling slightly. He understood that the two of them were talking about a private matter, so he made an excuse to leave to show the old man a little dignity: "Um, I'll go change a glass of wine. You guys talk."

Leto held him back: "No, honey, you are not an outsider, I want you to listen together."

Lin Nai shook off his hand, feeling a chill at the phrase "dear".

Mrs. Blanclaveau tried to calm down at this time, her eyes were slightly red: "Is...is it my Eric? Are you sure?"

"Yes, Sarah." Leto smiled: "Eric is still alive and well. He is currently staying in the military base in Tuzla, being detained by the Serbs. I assure you, this news is true and reliable, yes A very prestigious insider told me. Our Eric was detained in Tuzla in 89, and he survived."

"Oh," the woman covered her face and let out a sobbing voice: "My child...my Eric...the Lord heard my prayer, he didn't take my Eric away, my child..."

She cried subduedly but emotionally.Even though Lin Nai didn't understand what happened at all, he couldn't bear it. The sniper was used to seeing life and death, but he was very bad at facing a crying woman. He glared at the colonel and motioned him to find a way to appease the poor woman.

Leto thought he couldn't understand the conversation between the two and wanted to explain: "It's like this, Sarah's child, Eric Blanclaveau, disappeared after participating in the parade and protest in 89. His companion said that he was He was taken away by the People's Army, but the People's Army still refuses to admit it. The Brown Lavaux family has been unable to find out the news, thinking that the child died at the hands of the Serbs. It was not until a few days ago that I got the good news. "

Lin Nai was very sensitive: "This is the condition of your deal with Berramovich? He told you the whereabouts of Eric?"

"Yes. The Blanco Lavaux family used to be a prominent political family in Croatia. His grandfather was Dolantz's literary secretary, and later he became a member of the executive committee of the Central Presidium of the Yugoslav League. My father is as good as blue and better than blue. He studied law at Cambridge University. Doctor, he drafted the constitution together in Cadel’s team, and is still a veteran of the legal profession. But after Eric was arrested, the Blanc Laveau family lost their only son and grandson, and soon plummeted. Our family and theirs It's an old friend, Sarah took good care of me, and Eric and I grew up together, so I haven't given up looking for him in recent years."

"Why did you arrest him?" Lin Nai asked.

Leto lowered his voice: "The People's Army wants to win his father's support. The old Blanc Laveau has a very strong say in the legal world. These lawyers later became the pillars of the political world, and they cannot be avoided anywhere. Milosche Vicky even talked to his father himself. Text doesn't work, so in the end it's all about force."

This method is too rough.Lin Nai frowned: "I'm afraid it's not just their family that suffered."

"After Eric was arrested, the old Blanco Lavo resolutely resigned from all positions. After Croatia became independent, the whole family lived in the country house in Zagorje. After leaving the center of power, he and his wife transferred their energy to the on charity."

"No wonder you choose to help orphans and teenagers, but also for your own children?"

Leto looked at Mrs. Blanclavau: "Sarah, please believe me, I will definitely rescue Eric."

"No, that's too dangerous." Mrs. Brown Lavaux shook her head: "How can I let you take such a big risk, take care of yourself first..."

"I said that, naturally, after inquiring enough information, I dare to promise you when I have a certain degree of certainty. Believe me. My informant told me that since the second half of last year, the surveillance and abuse of Eric have decreased significantly. Well, it’s probably because Milosevic has come to power completely, and the political situation is going smoothly, so our President doesn’t take him seriously. I also asked the military barracks that they regularly send detainees to work abroad, and sometimes To participate in the transportation mission. We can take the opportunity to save people."

"If he can send news to the outside, why hasn't he contacted the family all these years?"

"For one thing, it is too conspicuous to send news to the family. Once discovered, he will end badly. He managed to survive, and of course he is not willing to take such a big risk. Second, since he cannot protect himself, he does not want to It will only increase the burden on the family."

"But..." Madame Blanclavou pursed her lips, as if she was still hesitating.

Leto held her hand: "Sarah, Eric is also a family member to me, and I can't abandon him. After so many years of asking around, I finally got the news, so I have to try anyway."

"Thank you, child." There were tears in the woman's eyes.She bowed deeply to Leto: "Of course I hope someone can save him. This is my child. As a mother, I wish I could replace him with myself. Only the Lord knows how much he has suffered, my poor child, but I also I don't want to take the risk of losing you. You are a good boy, please don't be brave."

"You know me well, Sarah," Leto teased with a smile, "How could I be missing out on being a hero?"

Lin Nai didn't speak from the side.It was hard for him to imagine that Leto had a righteous and pure side. This was hardly the arrogant and ruthless Bosnian government army colonel he knew.It turns out that Leto also has friends and family members, as well as family and friendship like normal people.In any case, this is also a human being born from the mother's womb, and he will have everything that a human being should have.

At this time, Leto turned his head in a tacit understanding, and his eyes met him, and Linnai could almost understand his eyes.

But after Mrs. Brown Lavaux left, Lin Nai replied to him: "You can save anyone if you want, I won't participate."

"You knew I wanted you to participate before I asked you?" Leto laughed.

Lin Nai was fed up with the banquet and the crowd, and went straight to the door: "Whatever you want, I'm going back."

Leto grabbed him.The two tugged between people coming and going.Leto made a gentleman's invitation gesture: "The banquet is just beginning, my dear, dance with me." Linnai glared at him.But the colonel held his hand unceremoniously: "For you, I didn't invite any female companions. Instead of losing the smiling faces of rich ladies later, it's better for the two of us to be comfortable together."

That is you are comfortable, I am not comfortable.Lin Nai could feel the strange gaze from the venue towards him.He didn't know why Leto brought him to the banquet in such a high-profile manner, wasn't he afraid that others would recognize him as a dead "traitor"?

And he has no interest in dancing: "I don't feel well in my legs, I don't want to dance."

Leto threw the crutch in his hand to Walter, wrapping his arms around his neck.The two slipped smoothly onto the dance floor.Lin Nai didn't want to make a big move in front of people, and his face was ashen with anger.Leto put his arms around his waist, the colonel's handsome face was less than five centimeters away from him.

This distance is extremely scary for snipers.Lin Nai was terrified.

"The work is over, now it's time to relax." Leto whispered in his ear, "You're very nervous, Linnai."

Lin Nai's knife-like eyes wanted to cut his face off: "You don't want to fuck me too, do you?"
