sarajevo sniper

During the waiting time, both of them slept for a while.

Someone came to deliver the documents in the morning, and the driver handed Linnai a brown paper bag.Lin Nai checked the contents, and there was a little cash in addition to the legal identity documents.He packed a little of his belongings and went to dispose of his hostages.

The sleeping Leto seemed very relaxed, and Linnai even wondered what could arouse the colonel's tension.He covered Leto with some ether, dragged the unconscious man from the bed to the corner, and shot each in the shoulder, waist, and calf. The colonel's body twitched unconsciously under the impact of the bullet, and was soon surrounded by pools of blood.Lin Nai brushed aside the bangs on the man's forehead, deliberately messed up his hair, and lowered his head to kiss the man's forehead.He thought, if you can survive, let's have an afternoon tea happily.

He pushed down the bedside table, dropped teacups and decorative paintings on the wall, smashed the glass door of a wine cabinet, and faked the traces of a fierce fight.After setting up, he went to the bathroom to give Walter a shot before leaving the apartment.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the number of people on the street gradually increased.Lin Nai gave up the plan to go to the airport, flying is too high-profile, and he is now in a tight spot and doesn't want to waste all the money on air tickets.He carefully considered the possibility of taking the train, but the patrol inspection at the Sarajevo railway station was also very strict.He ended up going to a car rental agency and renting a battered little car, planning to drive out of town and then take the train back to Serbia in Tuzla or any other small city.

Unexpectedly, the queue of convoys out of the city was very long. The Yugoslav People's Army set up checkpoints on the road to check every vehicle.He parked the car on the highway and walked to the gas station to go to the bathroom, and bought a newspaper, a map, a pack of biscuits and two buckets of water with cash. He hesitated when changing the money, and finally asked for a pack of cigarettes .The small black and white TV next to the counter was broadcasting the evening news, Linnai stood at the counter smoking a cigarette while watching the entire program, there was no news about Leto and the government army.

On the contrary, Milosevic publicly revealed the progress of the alliance between Serbia and Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina was not mentioned once during the entire conversation.The Serbian president appears to be signaling alienation from his neighbours, and as he draws closer to a referendum on Bosnian independence, his enthusiasm is entirely on Montenegro.

Linnai guessed that even if Leto was rescued, the Bosnia and Herzegovina government forces would definitely issue an arrest warrant by noon tomorrow at the latest.The assassination of a Bosnian government colonel is not so easy to cover up.He was just curious. Berramovic had already declared him dead, so how would the Bosnian government forces issue a warrant for "dead personnel"?

He found a phone booth outside the gas station to make a call, and when he got through, a young woman's voice—

"Hello, Markowitzki."

Lin Nai really hesitated to speak when he heard this voice.The other side did not wait for his reply, and repeated: "Hi, who are you?"

"Hi, it's me." Linnai answered her in a soft tone as much as possible: "I haven't contacted for a long time, Holly."

The other party gasped in shock, his voice trembling: "Yes...Lin Nai, are you Lin Nai?"

"Listen, Holly, it's not convenient for me to talk to you for too long, and I didn't call to chat. But I need your help, if you can tell me where you are, I would like to find you. Meet We can talk about it later," Lin Nai said quickly.

"It's really you..." She choked up: "They said you were dead, everyone said you were all dead..."

"Hush! Keep quiet, girl, I'm in a dangerous situation right now, and I want you to make sure that only you know I'm calling you this evening, okay?"

"Of course, of course. At home... there is only me at home now, and my parents have already gone to bed."

"You're doing great. I want to see you, are you still living where you were?"

"Please, you can do whatever you want. But first tell me what happened to my brother, brother, is Roman okay? Is he not dead? Just let me hear his voice."

Lin Nai was silent for a moment, knowing that he would eventually face this question: "Sorry, Holly, Roman died."

A mournful hum came from the receiver.The girl sobbed: "Brother, he...he..." She was out of breath from crying.

Lin Nai's heart twitched, and a strong sense of guilt locked his throat firmly. He felt heavy: "Holly, Roman was sacrificed. He didn't betray the country or anyone. He is innocent. Good girl, only you can help him restore his reputation now. I need you, Roman needs you, you have to cheer up!"

"He's innocent..." The girl took a deep breath, temporarily withdrawing from her grief: "He's not a spy? Really?"

"We don't do things like that. In your heart, is your brother, Roman Markowitzki, that kind of person? Holly, you have to trust him, we have to clear his name."

"But this is an official announcement... do you know something, this... there is some secret in it, right?"

"It's not convenient to say on the phone, we need to meet. That's why I'm going to find you."

"But, I'm leaving home early tomorrow morning. You can't come and see me at home."

"Where are you going?"

"Sarajevo."

Lin Nai was startled.Holly forced her composure in her sobs: "They reported the news about my brother. I never believed it. They didn't even bring back my brother's body! I can't accept it. What kind of person am I, my brother? It just so happened that the newspaper had a place in Sarajevo, so I applied to be a foreign correspondent. I must go to Sarajevo. If my brother died there, I would Go there and get the truth back."

"Good boy, Roman will be proud of you." Linnai felt sad for a while.

"Fortunately, you're still alive." Holly sniffed, "You're still alive, so I don't think things are at their worst yet."

Lin Nai thought for a while: "So, you are still working as a reporter at the newspaper?"

"Yes. The newspaper office has been operating fairly well in the past few years. I have to admit that it is the war that feeds us."

"Then let's meet in Sarajevo. After getting out of the airport, go to the place I told you, and I will wait for you there."

They met at an Italian restaurant at noon the next day.Linnaeus hasn't seen Holly Markowitzki in a year, she is a redheaded girl with lovely freckles, and her brother Roman's personality is very similar, the whole Markowitzki family is so lively and loyal character.Lin Nai has never seen a reporter who is more suitable to be a reporter than her.

"You look terrible." Holly hugged him: "God bless you, my dear Linnaeus."

Lin Nai kissed her on the cheek: "I survived anyway."

Holly was taking notes while listening to his experience in Sarajevo: "Berramovic was transferred, can you believe it? After such a big scandal, he was just transferred without any punitive measures! This is Our army, the army raised by us taxpayers. One of my military informants told me that he may be transferred to the troops below, and may even leave Serbia. There is also news that there is an ongoing The big cleansing made people panic."

"There are traitors around the general, and it is normal for the army to conduct an investigation. This also proves that Roman and I did not betray the army and Serbia, but someone else." Linnai sorted out his thoughts: "Now the most The most important thing is to find this spy, otherwise Roman and I will have the 'scarlet letter' on our foreheads forever."

"They won't admit it. Since this person is by the general's side, he must also have a high position. If it is admitted that a soldier with such a high position in the People's Army has been instigated, it will shake the hearts of the people. Even for reasons of maintaining stability, the military The Ministry will not admit it."

"I don't need the military department to admit it, as long as Berlamovich admits it."

"You want to go to him alone?"

"He knows best who this spy is."

"Didn't you find any evidence when you were under house arrest by Colonel Solonazarov? Although he argued for himself that he could not have access to intelligence work, I think it is very likely that he lied."

Lin Nai pursed her lips, and finally shook her head: "No, I don't think he lied."

Holly believed him: "Then we can only go to Berramovich. I can inquire about his recent movements, see where he has been transferred and what activities he has recently. We can find an opportunity to block Stop him, get his statement, it is best to have paper documents. We must grasp his handle, otherwise he cannot easily disclose the information to us."

"You hold a gun to his temple, even if you don't need a handle, he will say it." Linnai sneered.

"It's very dangerous to threaten the general of the Yugoslav People's Army, are you sure?"

"Anyway, I'm dead, and things couldn't be worse for me. You, on the other hand, if Berlamovich's story gets out, your career may be over. You have the courage to put Will this report be sent out? If you are not willing to gamble your own future, I understand, and I will never force you to do dangerous things. Roman has sacrificed, and the last thing I want to see is You're stuck in a life of misery."

"I am finished, and this family is finished. Since the news was released, we have been ostracized by the whole community. Every day, people throw rubbish and graffiti in front of our house. My parents dare not go out at all, and I can only go out at night to buy some Food. I almost lost my job, and if I hadn't voluntarily applied to come to this damn place, they would have kicked me out."

Linnai can imagine the plight of the Markowitzki family. At this time, he can only rejoice that he has no family members, so that they will not be hurt.But he knows that the most embarrassing thing is not the angry and ignorant accusations from others, but the loss of an important relative.Losing Roman was the most painful thing for the Markowitzki family.

Holly has made up her mind: "My brother is an upright soldier, I have always believed in this. If he can't clear up his grievances, then I will do it. I am not afraid, I have nothing to lose."

"Good girl." Lin Nai praised her: "Then we will split up and meet at this small restaurant at twelve o'clock every day. If there is an accident and you can't come on time, you can leave a note or call the hotel manager to leave a message. In this way, we will not lose contact. If you need help, you can always come to me here."

Holly is only worried about his safety: "If you killed Solonazarov, the Bosnian government forces will definitely want you and arrest you. Is it dangerous for you to be alone in Sarajevo? Do you have enough money? I You can apply for a little subsidy through the newspaper, saying that you are my informant. We have appropriate help for informants."

"Don't worry about me, I'm a man, I can take care of myself." Linnai was grateful.

Holly blushed: "I don't know you yet? You are the same as your brother. You don't care when you start working. You never care about what you eat or where you sleep. Although soldiers are used to the harsh environment, but It would be better if someone could take care of you.”

Lin Nai kissed her forehead: "Thank you, Holly. Right now, I just want you to be safe and happy."

Lin Nai has his own preparations to do, he needs a weapon at hand, and some helpers.If there was bound to be a war between him and Berlamovich, he couldn't face the former Yugoslav People's Army general alone.He has already fallen into this pit once, and he wants to get up from this pit and step over it.

Holly contacted him a week later to tell him that Berramovic had been transferred to Bosnia and Herzegovina.Maybe it was to humiliate him, maybe it was to let him remember this lesson firmly, in short, this general must stay in this sad place in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a short time, recalling how he lost his future here .

"He was completely emptied and quickly marginalized. This black hearted old guy, this is his retribution. My informant at the military department told me that on February 2th, UNRWA will send relief food To Sarajevo. At that time, he will bring people to grab the relief food." Holly said in a low voice on the phone.

Lin Nai smiled lowly: "Admiral General can only do this kind of errand chores now."

Holly disagreed with the word "chores": "Bosnia and Herzegovina has relied heavily on the relief food and relief materials from the United Nations in recent years, but the United Nations is only responsible for transporting the food to the airport, and how to distribute it is completely taken over by the local government. Sarajevo is now a It’s a mess and no one can control it, so whenever relief food arrives, looting may happen, Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats will all get involved.” She reminded Linnaeus: “It’s about survival The problem, Linnaeus, is that food is war."

(1: The alliance between Serbia and Montenegro: Milosevic announced in 1991 that Serbia and Montenegro had an alliance plan. Until April 1992, the two countries formally formed an alliance, marking the official disintegration of the "Southern Federation". After the two countries formed an alliance The birth of what came to be known as the "Southern Union" later on.)
