Under the dazzling flashlight beam, the dust stirred up by the explosion formed a sparkling reflection in the line of sight.

Under the dust, in the corner of one end of the triangular space that had been sealed for more than twenty years, sat quietly a withered corpse with his hands tied behind his back with iron wire and a ball of rags stuffed in his mouth until he died.

The corpse was wearing a camouflage uniform that now seemed a little outdated in the American style, and one of his legs was also pressed under the floor.

The moment he saw the corpse, Culp was short of breath, but Wei Ran, who was standing behind him, knew that the corpse was not a member of that team, but the one they caught at that time, who had extremely high

Value, a prisoner who should have been taken back for detailed interrogation!

Based on the location of the corpse, Wei Ran, after determining the location based on his memory, also speculated on the location where the Deathstroke team members were trapped.

Bent down and squatting at the blasted hole, Wei Ran reached out and touched the dust accumulated on the surface, and then looked at the collapsed floor. Fortunately, it was dry enough inside, which was a rare piece of good news.

.

"Shall we dig up this place next?"

Culp, who was standing in the damaged area of ​​the explosion, asked extremely calmly - even though he knew exactly what to do next.

"Wait a minute"

While Wei Ran was talking, he had already walked to a shelf in the distance. Using the remaining boxes on it as cover, he took out the wire cutters from the metal book. With a few clicks, he trimmed the steel bars around the blast hole. He turned around and started again.

He picked up a prepared electric drill from the table and put a bulging canvas bag on his shoulders.

"I have anticipated this situation. There is indeed a space supported by the collapsed floor."

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already put on a mask, dustproof glasses, and a headlamp. He then moved over a large industrial electric fan that was also prepared in advance, placed it less than two meters away from the blast hole, and turned on the switch.

Amidst the humming sound of the fan running, Wei Ran bent down and got into the blasted hole, crawling towards the end where there was no body, and said loudly, "There might be space on the other three sides, and there might be space in there.

If you find anything, if you want to help, how about taking the responsibility of getting that body out? There might be some clues on him."

Glancing at Wei Ran, who had only his calves hanging out, Culp opened his mouth, but was willing to be ordered by Wei Ran. He put on a mask and dust-proof glasses, crawled towards the huddled body,

Although the flying dust obscured his vision due to the blowing of the electric fan, for Wei Yan who crawled in first, it was still much better than fainting due to lack of oxygen.

Not paying attention to Culp behind him, he crawled to the end of the gap little by little, pointed the electric drill at the collapsed floor blocking the road in front of him, and carefully drilled one small tapered hole after another on it that was not too deep.

hole.

Opening the canvas bag and taking out a piece of plastic explosive, he tore off a small piece with his hands, shaped it into a doughnut the size of a beer bottle cap, wrapped the detonator and stuffed it into the hole he had just made, and then stepped back,

A detonation line is arranged on one side.

Just as Culp pulled the mummy out, Wei Ran, who was following behind, immediately pressed the detonator.

"Pass!"

After another slight explosion, there was also a sputtering sound inside. Wei Ran did not wait for the smoke to be blown away by the fan, so he took the wire cutters and got into the smoke again.

He carefully cleared away the gravel and steel bars blocking the road as well as the gas masks that were everywhere. When he struggled to remove a piece of concrete, he finally saw a mummy! It was Feishenke!

Wei Ran recognized the other person at a glance, and also noticed the notebook beside him that was set on fire but was not burned up.

Taking off his headlamp and looking behind him, Wei Ran groped Feshenke's body as quickly as possible, then carefully moved the light mummy back little by little, along with his weapons and a few

The relics, as well as the unburned notebook, were handed over to Mr. Culp who was inspecting the body.

"There are a few mummies inside," Wei Ran said. Without waiting for Culp to open his mouth, he turned around and got in again.

Soon, explode

The mummies of Broken Hand Rezri, Machine Gunner Serge, Ammunition Soldier Agni, and even Deputy Captain Ruslan, and the innermost Captain Culp, along with their weapons and relics, were all sent out one by one by Wei Ran.

Taking this opportunity, he also discovered that they did not have Walkmans or tapes on them. Instead, on the collapsed floor at the end, there were still black French handwriting left by the two captains with blood.

And hanging on an edged steel bar next to the two lines of writing was a Colt 6-inch Python revolver with a finger groove walnut grip.

He took out his mobile phone and adjusted the flash to the always-on mode to take a picture of the two paragraphs of French above. Wei Ran glanced behind him, hesitated for a moment and used the cover of his body to take out the food box as quickly as possible, and then took out the food box from

He took out the Walkman whose battery had been removed from the food box, then grabbed a handful of dust and smeared it all over.

Finally, he put away the food box and took off the revolver. Like a large dung beetle, he backed away little by little in the narrow space, and finally allowed Culp to pull his legs and pull him away.

Pulled it out.

"This is the last thing I found."

Wei Ran stood up and handed the dusty Walkman and the revolver to Culp. Then he took out his mobile phone and pulled out the photo he had just taken and handed it to him, "There are still things on the floor inside.

There are two sentences like this. Judging from the traces, I guess they were written in blood."

"Click! Click!"

Culp put the revolver aside casually, squinted at the photos on the screen, and at the same time pressed the buttons on the walkman.

"I just checked. There is no battery in it. It must have been removed in advance. I guess this may be to preserve it for a longer time."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Ran paused here and asked tentatively, "Do you need me to buy a few batteries? Or a tape recorder that can play tapes?"

「

"No"

Culp sighed and put the dirty Walkman into his pocket. Sighing, he walked over to Captain Culp's body and squatted down. He introduced in a murmur, "This is my brother Si."

Tepan Karp, he is the captain of this team and Daria's husband. That poor woman spent the rest of her life looking for his shadow."

"Your brother?"

Wei Ran was silent for a moment but then took a deep breath and asked a seemingly unrelated question, but one that connected the two brothers by blood, "What about you? What's your name?" "Taras, Ta.

Lars Culp

While helping the mummy carefully clean up the dust on its body, the handsome old man murmured in response to Wei Ran's question, "You don't seem surprised that the person you found is related to us?"

"When I found out that the extrajudicial mercenary Assol came to Grozny in 1994, I roughly guessed that the content of the final investigation might be related to you."

As Wei Ran spoke, he took out a wooden box from the shelf and handed it to the other party, "And in the past few years, whether it is Mr. Gorman, you or Kirov's veteran Leva, they have all mentioned some words and phrases in a few words.

Something related to Dalia and the war."

After a short pause, Wei Ran handed over a second wooden box, "I just didn't expect that Teacher Dalia's husband turned out to be your brother."

"We are 5 years apart"

Culp carefully put the relics removed from his brother's body into the box while explaining, "He, Daria, and Anna and I all graduated from the same school, and then entered

It's the same department. But when we entered that department, he was already the captain of the arrest team of that department."

After a pause, Culp smiled, and said softly with a trace of nostalgia for the past and nostalgia for the good things, "My brother has captured many people, including spies from various forces and renegade Soviets.

From the time he became the captain of the arrest team until he disappeared, he never failed."

"Teacher Dalia must admire him very much, right?" Wei Ran said softly.

"yes"

Culp gently pulled the dagger from the corpse's leg and placed it in the box

Then he took out a tin jar filled with candies from his bag, "The reason why she became friends with me was to have the opportunity to get to know my brother. This is what Anna told me personally.

"

As he spoke, Culp opened the tin can, took out a candy produced by Caban Lake Candy Company, tore open the plastic candy wrapper, and stuffed the sweetness inside that had expired for too long but came from the home in his memory.

In the mouth.

"You haven't seen Dalia when she was young. She and Anna had another girl. She was almost the most beautiful among all the female students, but she was the first to get married and pregnant."

Having said this, Culp chewed the candy in his mouth and swallowed it, and said with pity, "She is also the most unfortunate one."

"And you?"

While Wei Ran was talking, he used the cover of his coat to take out the wine bottle from the metal book and handed it to Culp, "Aren't you married?" He took the wine bottle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip. Culp returned the wine bottle.

He gave it to Wei Ran, and after a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and replied vaguely, "I don't have any other family members."

"Alas..." Wei Ran sighed silently, reached out and took the wine bottle and put it into his pocket.

"This is Ruslan, my brother's best friend." Karp walked to the side of the second mummy and said while helping to collect the remaining relics on the body, "He is also Maya's father."

"What did you say?" "He is Maya's father."

Culp said to himself, "Maya's mother was a famous singer in the Soviet era. Unfortunately, that woman sent Maya to an orphanage shortly after giving birth to her, and then went to the United States. At that time,

It’s been less than half a year since they disappeared.” “Maya’s current parents...”

"Mr. Sosland and his wife used to be teachers and nannies at that orphanage."

Culp paused and said with emotion, "Gorman also grew up in that orphanage. I remember when I was a child, my parents would take me and my brother with them every festival.

I went to visit the children in the orphanage with the candies produced by my family’s candy company.”

"So you have known each other for a long time?" "Yes, we have known each other for a long time."

Culp said in a whisper, "First we became good friends, then we became classmates who studied together, brothers who trusted each other, and finally, together with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, we became what we are now."

"Is that orphanage still there?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously. "It's gone. It's gone a long time ago." Culp's emotion was filled with regret and inexplicable happiness.

"Who is the 'him' mentioned in the sentence who betrayed everyone?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.

As soon as he said these words, Culp, who had rarely shown a trace of humanity just now, immediately became extremely cold and usual serious, "Victor, this matter is over. If you can find them, we all
