sarajevo sniper
Chapter 35
The indoor Gez Husserle Berg market first appeared in Sarajevo in the [-]th century, and it is also one of the oldest and most famous long markets in Sarajevo.The word "bazaar" in Bosnia and Herzegovina, bezistan or bedesten, was originally used to describe warehouses, and then gradually evolved to refer to the city's bazaars in the style of the Ottoman Empire.The shadow of mosques can usually be seen on buildings of this style, with onion tops or large and well-proportioned arc tops, rectangular corridors, and shops mainly dealing in weapons, hardware products, handicrafts and gemstones.Now that weapons are not allowed to be traded on the market, more daily necessities have been introduced here. Clothing stores, watch shops, furniture stores... have become new members of the market.Some wealthy businessmen like to set up shop here because of the advantages of the bazaar.Generally, those who have fixed shops in the market are either traditional craftsmen who have taken advantage of the craftsmanship of their ancestors, or merchants with strong financial resources.
The two men held hands and walked down the steps, through a sunken corridor, to the large Bursa textile store. ①A shop assistant recognized Leto and warmly invited them in.
"Colonel Solonazarov, welcome. Are you here to pick up something made to order?" The store manager served them tea.
Leto smiled: "Yes, I brought someone here to try it on today, is it ready?"
The manager looked very pleased: "It was just made yesterday. You have always had the best eyes, and this is a beautiful dress."
Lin Nai didn't expect them to come to buy clothes.In fact, he didn't have much interest in the colorful fabrics and ready-made clothes in the textile store. Compared with Leto's pickiness in clothing and daily necessities, he seemed more casual, and he didn't show too strong a desire for material things in this regard.He can't remember the last time he bought clothes. He often made them himself. Before coming to Sarajevo, he just killed a deer and planned to use it as a winter coat.
"I have enough clothes to wear, so I don't need to make new ones." Lin Nai didn't mind: "You can wear them yourself."
Leto gave him a look: "It's not just a dress, dear. Go ahead, try it on, you'll like it."
The sniper had to be taken to the fitting room.The manager brought a long overcoat wrapped in a dust cover, and Lin Nai looked a little embarrassed standing in front of the full-length mirror. He felt like an aristocratic lady preparing to make her debut in the social season.
"This is our best material. As long as you wear it in winter, it must be the most eye-catching one on the street." The manager was even a little proud. He opened the dust cover and took out the coat inside.
Only then did Linnai see the baby clothes clearly, and he raised his eyebrows: "Is this serious? Cloak? Who would wear such a long cloak in this age?" He secretly slandered that Leto would not have role-playing clothes. preferences?Is this trying to treat him as a magician?
The manager put on a cloak for him, and the lush fur collar made Lin Nai's face look bloody: "This is a mink from the Netherlands, and the mink fur there is the best in the world. A complete wild mink is definitely not put together. scraps or artificially bred inferior products, my honorable sir, the collar alone costs hundreds of dollars.” He smiled and introduced: “The overall coat is made of pure wool Verdin, originally we had a better one. Suggested, but the colonel insists that you should prefer the usual military materials, so that you will be more comfortable and accustomed to wearing them."
Linnai felt much more comfortable when he heard Verdin, which is a common fabric used to make dresses in the army.He can think of this cape as a military dress.And he also likes the color of the dress.
"The color was chosen by the colonel himself, gentlemen wearing this kind of night sky blue is the most dignified and noble." The manager looked at Linnai in the mirror with satisfaction: "To be honest, I think it looks familiar when I wear it this way. Oh, by the way, the Queen of England also has a cloak of this color and style, but it was a gift from the British Navy, and it is her favorite cloak."
"Are you trying to say that I look like the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?" Linnaeus was offended by the metaphor.
The manager is very good at winking: "I mean, your temperament is not inferior to that of the royal family."
Linnai had to admit that Leto was very likable, and it was not an easy task for him to catch Linnai's appetite.
"How is it?" He came out of the locker room and appeared in front of Leto.
Leto's eyes lit up: "It's pretty." He gave his lover a hug: "This is exactly what I imagined."
"I will return the money to you." Lin Nai was also satisfied: "Don't argue with me, I can still afford the money for a piece of clothing. I will take it."
Leto helped him straighten his sleeves while lowering his voice: "I'm afraid I can't make you happy, dear, this is an engagement ceremony. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the bridegroom will give the bride a cloak by the groom, implying giving the bride Reliable protection and protection from harm to the bride. It's not just a matter of hearts and money, it's a national custom."
Lin Nai exchanged a deep look with him: "Bride, huh?"
"I don't think we need to argue about this issue. You know that I have never treated you as a woman." Leto was confident.
Lin Nai was soft on people, so he could only grit his teeth and compromise: "Then is there anything that the 'bride' should give to the 'groom'?"
Leto's eyes fell on his lips: "The bride... should give the groom a kiss."
They smuggled a quick kiss behind the backs of the tailor and the manager.
After coming out of the textile store, the two found a photo studio to take a group photo.Lin Nai remembered that they had never had a group photo together, and he did not have a photo to take to the battlefield.The make-up artist in the photo studio combed their hair briefly, Lin Nai sat on a chair, and Leto stood behind him, with a hand on his shoulder, forming an intimate relationship between the two.This is considered a gift.
It takes one day for the photos to be developed, and the photo studio can send someone to deliver the photos to the residence the next day.Leto then left his name and address on the register at the front desk.
"Is that person Brown Lavo? Your Croatian friend?" Linnai still had something in his mouth, and he ate a lemon drop at the front desk: "It seems to be recovering well, why is he still in Sarajevo? No Are you going home?"
Leto followed his gaze: "Your prophecy seems to be in the hands of the Croatian Ministry of Defense. They seem to be investigating him recently. Eric wrote to me saying that he needs to go through a long period of declassification review and interrogation. All in all , he will not be able to return to Croatia in a short time." He waved to his friend.
The Croat seemed to be about to turn around as if he didn't see him. He didn't seem to notice Leto until Leto called out his friend's name, with a stiff smile on his face.
"What a coincidence," the Croatian looked upset. "Why did you come out? Everyone is talking about you. I thought you must be hiding in the command post and don't want to come out to meet people."
Leto was very happy: "If I can meet my friends, it's worth it, isn't it? How are you doing recently? I'm sorry I haven't had time to see you."
Eric Bronlaveau showed an unlucky expression: "They just arranged for me to chat with different people every day. I was like a stupid college student who had just graduated. Every day I went around for interviews with my resume. If I didn't go, I couldn't do it. The same questions are asked back and forth, and the questions answered yesterday have to be repeated today. I now feel that they are trying to play me."
"It's bureaucracy, you know. It takes time to convince the old men."
"They reassured me that as long as the process is completed, they will officially arrange a position for me. This is the importance they attach to me. They regard me as a returning talent. These people can only say nice things. I don't want to, I would rather go to As a mechanic, I learned a lot in prison, and I can fix cars."
"What did your father say? Can you get in touch?"
"We had a phone call once. He was very worried about me and almost got into an argument with the people from the military department. They went to talk to him at home."
"If I were your father, I would be anxious too. Your health and well-being are the most important thing."
"I'm really ashamed that a 70-year-old is going to work for me when I'm in my thirties."
"It's not your fault, if you need my help, just tell me."
Eric held Leto's hand, wanted to speak and then looked at Linnai next to him.Lin Nai retreated to the side knowingly, leaving room for the pair of close friends: "I'll go next door to buy a cup of coffee. You two talk first."
Leto knew that his friend had private information and wanted to share it with him: "Linnai is one of our own, Eric, you don't need to guard against him."
"I know, I am grateful to him for saving me, but he is a Serb after all." Eric said: "I am really nervous about Serbs. Please understand me."
"Okay, tell me, what happened?"
"I heard about what happened at the airport this time," Eric lowered his voice, "I heard that the Serbs won support from Croatia, right? Now this matter is raging, and we are all discussing why those mercenaries would Support the Serbs."
"It is true that we have obtained support from Croatia." Leto said, "I was right there. Those armored vehicles and bird helicopters did not appear out of thin air. To be honest, I was also very surprised. The fact that the mercenary organization can dispatch armored vehicles and armed helicopters at once is really not to be underestimated. These mercenaries are really rich."
"Probably got the support of the United States or the United Kingdom behind the scenes. You know, the Americans stare at us all day. The mercenaries are civil organizations, and no one can prevent them from contacting people abroad. They will openly buy weapons to strengthen the organization. "
"Croatia betrayed the covenant, and Bosnia and Herzegovina is very upset. I am afraid there will be high-level talks and communication. If you don't give a proper answer, it will be difficult to justify it."
"I know," Eric's face sank: "They now suspect that I have something to do with this matter."
Leto frowned: "You?"
"Yes." The Croatian made a serious expression: "So, from now on, let's pretend we don't know each other, okay? Leto, I'm doing it for your own good. You can't call my name like that on the street anymore. It can't make people think that we have such a good relationship. I will implicate you."
Leto could understand his feelings: "What is this called? We are friends. If you have difficulties, I will stay away from you. Is this still called friends?"
"Listen, you've risked it once for me," said Eric, in a serious tone. "I appreciate you for saving me, but I'll never forgive myself if it hurts you. It was the last time." , I swear to Jesus Christ, definitely the last time. So, this time you must stay away from me, we have nothing to do with each other, we are no longer friends."
Leto was puzzled: "I don't accept it, Eric. You can't casually tell me on the street that we are not friends anymore."
"Then you'd better accept it sooner." The Croatian made up his mind, "That's it, I wanted to find a time to call you to talk, since we met today, I just put the words here. Leto, I'm sorry, but this is really for your own good."
"Listen, Eric, they are just suspicious, they haven't been convicted yet, they will investigate the truth, if you are innocent, then naturally I won't be implicated."
"No, you don't understand. It's a lot more complicated than you think."
"Then please explain clearly, I am confident in my ability to understand."
"I can't tell you, at least not right now."
"Why?" Leto was very dissatisfied with this situation of not speaking clearly: "Even if you have something to hide, you should not sacrifice our friendship. You are belittling me and yourself."
Eric only left an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Leto, you are a very good friend. But I am not. I think, I am an asshole friend."
Old friends parted ways.When Linnai came back, Leto stood alone under the eaves of the photo studio, the colonel made a thoughtful expression.
"Don't be sad," Lin Nai effortlessly read his lover's mind.He didn't know when he acquired this special ability, but during this time he could more and more easily guess Leto: "The relationship between people is destined by fate. If you are destined to be friends for life, He will come back to you."
Leto said tactfully, "I just think he's hiding something from me. He's using some things to cover up other things."
"But you didn't disappoint him."
"Because I can feel that he is still the old Eric, upright, brave, and considerate of others."
"He shouldn't be the old Eric, a prisoner who was imprisoned for three years and abused for three years. He shouldn't be the same as the brand new one."
"But none of this is evidence, it's just speculation. Maybe he did it on purpose, he's a severely traumatized person, and if he's trying too hard just to be a normal person, to get back to his original self, it's not It should be his fault."
Lin Nai smiled.Leto looked at him questioningly.
"Do you know? Although you are perverted, you are always soft-hearted towards your own people." Linnai kissed him on the cheek: "Okay, you should go to work, Mr. Colonel, you have a family now and your partner is an unemployed person. So you shoulder the burden of supporting the family. Don’t be late, I can’t blame me for deducting wages.”
