sarajevo sniper

Leto couldn't remember the time, he estimated that he had been arrested for at least three days, but in terms of experience, he seemed to have survived for three centuries.

Intermittently, different people came to torture him. Instead of using bloody methods—perhaps because they knew that these methods would not work on him—they forced him to sleep, stimulated his eyes with bright light, and repeatedly shocked his spirit.Leto was dying, he experienced extreme, soul-destroying exhaustion, reason was like a butterfly that eluded him, and he simply let it fly away.So there were only raging waves in the ocean of consciousness, and the huge waves beat his head, rumbling and shaking, and the echoes were all Linnai's sighs and smiles.In the end, the voices he listened to seemed to be Lin Nai talking to him.

"I know it's not your fault," Linnai walked up to him in a trance and kissed his forehead: "but I only left for less than 72 hours and you made yourself like this, dear, you let me I'm worried, shouldn't I leave you?"

Leto showed a smile: "This is only temporary, they cannot condemn me."

"But can you survive until they release you? Don't you plan to take the initiative?" Linnai sighed: "I don't like to see you like this, although I don't like to see you dressed up like a courting animal Yes, but you don't look good when you're hurt. You look terrible."

"Sorry to worry you. This is the last time, okay? I won't embarrass myself like this again."

"Then stop torturing yourself, Leto. Don't torture yourself with the mistakes of others."

Leto felt his heart skip a beat. The eyes of "Lin Nai" saw him through: "Didn't you find it? You not only like to torture others, but also like to torture and abuse yourself. Why? Because you have done wrong things, so you think you are worthy of all abuse and torture." Do you think you deserve it whether it's your fault or not? Does being tortured and abused make you psychologically more comfortable? Are you atoning or running away? How much torture do you think you have to suffer to make it up Past mistakes? Are you looking forward to the day when you can die in apology so that the document keeper who died in your place can rest in peace?"

Leto was embraced by him.He felt he had breathing room in this embrace.

"Honey, this is a bad habit, it's an unhealthy mentality, you should change it." Lin Nai in the hallucination gently patted him: "Will you trust me? Are you willing to listen to my thoughts? I I believe that you should not define yourself by your worst side. The mirror in your heart should reflect the darkest corners of the war, not your most painful wounds.”

Leto snuggled up to him, never had such a relaxed moment: "Because I'm loved by you, I don't feel so bad about myself."

Lin Nai smiled: "Of course I love you, I'm waiting for you to come home, my dear."

……

"Colonel! Colonel!" someone shouted.

Leto raised his sweaty face and finally caught the voice of reality. He woke up from the hallucination and showed a polite smile: "Sorry, I just walked away for a while. What did you say?"

The interrogator was full of sarcasm: "Eric Branlavau was recruited. He admitted that he was a Serbian spy. But he said that you don't know anything. It seems that your friend is very protective of you."

Leto frowned: "He recruited? What else did he say?"

The interrogator was impatient: "I'm the one who's asking you, and it's not your turn to ask me, suspect!"

Leto's face turned cold: "Call your officer, I have something to tell him. You tell him that I have important news to discuss with him. I won't talk to you, you are not qualified to speak in front of me yet."

The interrogators were surprised by his sudden change of attitude. Leto endured all the tortures, but his dignity remained undiminished. The oppression made the interrogators feel timid, and they even forgot to talk back and just did what he said in a daze.

The person in charge of the case was also a colonel. When he came in, he only thought that Leto was playing with his temper, and didn't pay attention to him: "Say what you have, don't waste my time."

"Tell the military that after the referendum, I will resign and leave Bosnia and Herzegovina, and disappear completely in this country. Before resigning, I will accept a TV interview and tell the people all over the country that my obligations to this country have been fulfilled, and I should Fulfill your responsibilities as a son, and make up for the debts caused by neglecting to accompany your parents for many years due to busy work." Leto said frankly: "You all just don't want to see me in the early days, and you are afraid that I will get carried away after winning the hearts of the people because of the airport battle, and I will not be controlled by the military. , I just want to take this opportunity to suppress me. I will put my words here today. I have no interest in positions, power and your little intrigue games. I have decided to leave this country on the day of Bosnia and Herzegovina's independence. So You don't have to worry that I will usurp power and seek positions and affect your status. Go ahead and pass on my words verbatim. The old men will make the right decision."

The colonel was so blocked by him that he couldn't answer for a moment.It took a long time to react angrily: "Don't think that you can escape the crime! We are now investigating your treason. Your Croatian friend has admitted that he is a spy. Don't you think you can escape the sanction... ..."

"You know that I have nothing to do with this matter, and you have no actual evidence to prove that I am treasonous and collaborating with the enemy." Leto interrupted him directly: "I have been in the government army for so many years and have no access to core information at all. I just have a title but nothing How much actual power, except for a few mongooses, even the application for a few helicopters and Humvees has to be approved by the upper levels. This is caused by you. So I don’t have the capital and ability to be a spy. Know that, so don't waste our time with each other. I've promised I'll get out of here and you don't need to be on guard with me anymore."

The colonel pursed his lips, his face was ugly.

Leto was already very weak, but he held on to the last bit of strength: "I can write the resignation letter now, and then you can bring this letter to the old men. In this way, I, you, them, everyone can Get some sleep, okay? Let the Croats mind their own business."

Walter was terrified when he saw Leto, his dear colonel was as pale as a ghost.The impolite interrogator respectfully helped him out of the interrogation room, helped Leto into the car with Walter, and apologized to Leto——

"I'm sorry Colonel, it is indeed my work attitude that is problematic. Please forgive me, I will write a review and submit it to you."

Leto didn't even bother to look at him, and nestled on the leather chair of the car: "Get lost."

Walter has prepared hot soup and medicine for trauma treatment: "How could they treat you like this. This is abuse and improper interrogation. They should be reported!"

"Come on, this group of guys is what they eat." Leto had more important things to worry about: "Is there any news about Linnai?"

Walter nodded: "Mario and him have already met. They are discussing a plan to rescue you, but their plan should not be used, Colonel, how did you convince them to let you go?"

Leto breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't speak, just nodded.Walter waited for a while to see that he didn't respond, only to realize that he had already closed his eyes and passed out.

Walter, who was frightened out of his wits, urged the driver to drive to the military hospital, yelling and calling all the doctors in the emergency room.It took more than two hours to complete all the examinations. The attending doctor told Valtretto dumbfounded that he was just dehydrated and overtired, and there was no serious injury. Only then did the little orderly feel that his soul had returned to its normal position.

When Linnai and Mario arrived at the hospital in the early morning of the next day, Leto was still in a coma, but his physical indicators were no longer so terrible. The doctor gave him a large amount of infusion, and all nutrients and water entered his body through blood vessels. Here, the back of his hand was turning blue from being stuck with needles for a long time, his skin was cold to the touch, and his pulse was beating in this extremely cold environment.

Lin Nai held his hand, but failed to warm it up, but her own cooled down.He still held it unwillingly, until the hands of both of them became cold, sweaty and sticky in the end.The war has deprived people of the last hope of mutual warmth. Everyone cannot protect themselves. If we must take care of others, we must be fully prepared to bear the bitter cold together.

Walter came back with hot water and food, and some new news——

"Eric Branlavo admitted to being a Serbian spy and confessed to helping connect mercenaries to support Berlamovic. But he said he was forced to because the Serbs threatened his life , they insulted him, abused him and tortured his spirit day after day, threatening to kill him and his whole family if he did not become a spy, in which case he could only agree to be a spy."

It's a plausible way to say: "Has Croatia bought into what he's saying?"

"They are discussing and considering, but I think the final result will still be accepted. Blanche Lavaux has indeed suffered inhuman torture. Under extremely cruel circumstances, if a person still maintains his beliefs and would rather die than surrender, he should be punished. He is honored as a martyr and respected by the people. But if he chooses to surrender and give up, he should not be cast aside. After all, survival is the instinct of human beings. Even if they still think that Blanc Lavaux should be punished, considering his experience, he should not be cast aside. There will be no serious consequences."

"Then is he still in custody now?"

"I'm afraid he will be locked up for a while before the results of the discussion come out. But they dare not be rough with him. I heard that a psychiatrist was invited to evaluate his mental state."

"Is mental illness a defense intended?"

"Yes. After all, their family is engaged in law, and their thinking is very clear. If old Brown Lavaux tries his best to sell his old face, although it may not be safe at the end of the year, it should be no problem to get his son out."

At this time, there was a slight movement in Linnai's hand.Someone uttered a drowsy raving, the low hoarse voice seemed lazy——

"What kind of thinking is very clear?"

Linnai turned around and saw Leto who had woken up: "It's all right. How do you feel?"

Walter knew that the two of them had something to say, so he found an excuse to leave first.Leto shook Linnai's hand back: "How long have I been asleep?"

"One day and one night. Do you want water? I'll get you water."

"I need you most now, don't move, let me see you."

Lin Nai laughed, and he leaned over to kiss the back of his lover's hand: "It's really a disaster for both of us, huh?"

"What a match, isn't it?" Leto teased, following his words.

Lin Nai brushed the hair on his forehead for him, wiped his face with a towel, and kissed his lips.They exchange a slow, soft kiss.Leto raised his hand to touch his face, and Linnai rubbed against his palm with his profile.

"When I was sitting here, I was thinking, just leave now, regardless of the referendum, we will go to Italy when you wake up." Linnai sighed in a low voice: "I would never have such irresponsible behavior before. The idea of ​​dropping everything and quitting is something that never crosses my mind. But that's what I really thought this morning, Leto."

Leto looked back at him with affectionate eyes: "Every one of us will change, in order to adapt to new situations and environments. The objective world is changing, so we will also respond to changes. This is the most normal human reaction."

"I can foresee that I will leave the People's Army and change my career, but I never thought that one day I would leave Serbia and Yugoslavia. There are some changes that I am surprised to think about myself."

"Do you feel intimidated by these changes? Are you afraid of losing yourself or that your life is out of control?"

"I'm more afraid of losing you than I am afraid of losing myself." Linnai confessed: "When I was young, I naively thought that life is a trade-off of pros and cons, but the war made my life have no pros, only cons, and I can only weigh the differences The disadvantage of degree. If I have to lose something at all, I would rather lose myself than lose you."

Leto stroked the corners of his eyebrows and hair: "I'm sorry, but I didn't become an advantage in your life."

"It's not your problem," Linnai answered him: "It's my problem. Love can hardly be a person's advantage."

They rubbed each other's ears in silence, and a pair of lovers after the catastrophe finally returned to each other.

"That's fine, but what should be done should be done." Leto knew Linnai too well: "Your beloved teacher won't let it go, right? If you didn't say goodbye to him decently, you will regret it. "

Thinking of this, Lin Nai worried: "But I'm afraid this matter will not end decently."

"Do you have to go to the point of no return? There is no room for reincarnation?"

"He wanted to kill me. I can feel that he is serious. The friendship between me and him for more than ten years is not as good as an order from the military department. In this regard, he is indeed better than I am more like a professional soldier. This is probably the reason why I am still young and he has experienced the baptism of years." Linnai's eyes darkened, and he was sad about this matter: "The relationship between me and the teacher , I am afraid that there is really only one person who can survive. Either I die, or he dies."
