sarajevo sniper

Leto was restless in the middle of the meeting, and he had a premonition that something might happen to Linnaeus.After the meeting, he found a phone booth to call the Belgrade train station, and found the mercenary Mario waiting at the train station.

"He didn't show up." Mario originally agreed to meet Linnai at the Belgrade train station, but the train from Sarajevo had arrived, but Linnai didn't show up.

Leto's heart skipped a beat: "When was the last time he contacted you?"

"Before boarding the train, he contacted me on the phone at the Sarajevo train station and told me his carriage number and seat."

"Are you sure he didn't get off the train? Did you ask the train crew?"

"There were a lot of people in the car, and the flight attendants didn't care about every passenger, so they didn't have a deep impression of Lin Nai. But a man in the same car mentioned that his wife gave birth suddenly in the car, and Lin Nai helped him carry her to the Later, the man saw that Lin Nai was sitting and chatting with an old man. He didn't pay attention, and the wife's delivery attracted most of his attention. When the baby was born, the man I want to express my gratitude to Lin Nai, but Lin Nai is no longer in the carriage at this time."

"That is to say, he got into the car and disappeared halfway. What time did Madam give birth? When was the child born?"

"The lady started labor at 10:15 am and the baby was born at 1:43 pm."

"Then Linnai disappeared during this period."

"This train is a direct train and there is no stop on the way, but the conductor said that they made a temporary stop before they reached the border station because of the snow on the mountain road. It took about half an hour to wait until the road surface was repaired before driving. of."

"About when?"

"1:20 p.m."

Leto could already conclude that Linnai got off the car at 1:20 pm.Why did he get out of the car?What happened to make him change his schedule midway without notifying Mario?Will there be any danger?Did he get out of the car alone, or was there someone else?Will it be forced to get off?Is his life in danger?

The colonel suppressed his anxiety and forced himself to think calmly: "The man said that he saw an old man chatting with Lin Nai. Who is the old man? Are there any other clues?"

"It's hard to say. There are so many passengers in the car, it's likely that people they don't know sat together and chatted for a while. Besides, Linnai is a special soldier, he is not easy to be subdued, and an old man may not be able to compete with him."

"You can't fight head-on, and you can't prevent villains from behind the scenes."

"So what do you plan to do next? These are all the clues we can get so far."

If they can't get more clues, it will be difficult for them to determine Linnai's current situation.Leto decided to change his mind.

Assuming that Lin Nai was really in danger, who would want to harm him?Berramovic is dead, and Linnai is already dead in Serbia's official documents. Even Berramovic's secretary, who knew the most, died in the hands of Mario.According to common sense, no one should want to murder Linnai anymore.Who else might see Lin Nai as a thorn in his side?

But... what if the other party is not actually looking for Lin Nai?

Since Linnai's "death", he has only appeared in one public occasion, which is the food war at the airport.He shot and killed Berramovic in one fell swoop, shaking both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.A sniper who can kill a general of the Yugoslav People's Army is hard not to be taken seriously by the People's Army.In particular, the Bosnia and Herzegovina government army has always presented a weak image, and a powerful figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is even more suspicious.Even if the People's Army is not sure who the sniper is, it will be wary.If it was Leto, he would seriously study the entire battle process, study Berramovic's death and the style and skills of the sniper - combat study is one of the basic homework that the army should do - if the sniper can be found out Who is the killer, and then looking for opportunities to get rid of them is tantamount to eliminating a great hidden danger for the People's Army.

Lin Nai's performance was too outstanding. Although he became famous in World War I, he attracted the attention of the People's Army and brought himself a fatal disaster.The People's Army has always acted arrogantly, and assassination missions are common to them. They may not even know that this is Lin Nai, but they just want to find this person first, but they did not expect to find Lin Nai in the end.

Linnai has excellent crisis handling ability and ability to survive in extreme environments. It is too early to make a conclusion about his life and death. Leto also believes that he has the ability to protect himself, but as a partner, Leto cannot but feel Angry and heartbroken.

After hanging up the phone, he called Walter to the office: "How are the prisoners doing? Have you confirmed their identities and personal information?"

He was referring to Serbian private fighters captured from the airport.

Walter was responsible for the resettlement of some of the captives. He showed the list to his boss: "All the identity information is here."

Leto looked at the identity information of the two captives: "I remember you said that the People's Army proposed the idea of ​​ransoming the hostages early on, right?"

"I have already contacted us twice. I followed your instructions, but it can be seen that they are under a lot of pressure. These Serb private armed forces were originally doing dirty work for Milosevic. If you just abandon them directly, it will shake people's hearts, and no one will help him in the future. In addition, the confidence in the People's Army in Serbia has dropped to the lowest level. If you don't do something to restore public opinion, it will not make sense. Redeeming the hostages is A good promotional theme."

"Then you go and contact the People's Army and tell them that we are ready to negotiate."

"Don't delay for a while longer? Now we have a lot of initiative."

Leto glanced at him indifferently: "If this delay continues, Lin Nai's life will be lost."

Walter was horrified, but he didn't expect Linnai to be involved in this matter.He immediately realized the importance, hurriedly took his order and went to work, walked to the door of the office, and turned back cautiously: "Colonel, are you okay? Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"I'm fine. Thank you, Walter." Leto showed an emotionally stable smile: "If you can help me contact the head of the People's Army as soon as possible, find out which bitch without an asshole kidnapped me Lover, I can chop off his hands as soon as possible and make roasted elbows for him to eat."

Walter didn't dare to delay for a moment: "Yes!"

Leto had arranged work today.He originally made an appointment with the Croatian parliamentarian for a meeting. Although he is not in the mood to talk about work at this juncture, work is still work, and it is related to the referendum half a month later. He still needs to perform his duties.

He brought only two guards, and met the congressman at the hotel cafe at the agreed time.This is the latest member of the Croatian Provincial Council① and the first parliamentary member after Croatia’s independence. He has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Croats and has a strong appeal. The Provincial Council sent him to Bosnia and Herzegovina to canvass votes and encourage Croats of Black Lives Matter vote for Bosnian independence.

"I have asked someone to arrange a speech at the Civic Center on the afternoon of the 28th. We will set up a stage and everyone is welcome to attend. This is a grand event and will be televised live. At that time, all Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina will see this. Speech.” The congressman was very happy: “I am really happy to be able to contribute a part of my strength to the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colonel Solonazarov. After the independence of Croatia, the people of Croatia feel joy from the bottom of their hearts. We can usher in a bright day.”

Leto shook hands with him: "On behalf of the Bosnian government army, I would like to express my gratitude to you." But he was worried about the safety of the parliamentarians: "My personal suggestion is that the speech should not be held in the civic center, and perhaps it can be replaced by a more private place. Meeting rooms or churches, and invite as few spectators as possible. You know that the law and order in Sarajevo is not good, and the violence on the streets is increasing day by day. For your sake and for the safety of the Croatians, please make a careful decision.”

"I understand that I have caused trouble for you." The congressman also had his own reasons: "You may not be familiar with political elections and canvassing activities. The more public the occasion, the more audiences there are, and the more improvised, the better the effect. People like to watch the scene and witness it with their own eyes, so that their emotions can be aroused and their confidence can be strengthened."

What he said made sense.After all, in canvassing votes, the effect is still the king.

"If we hide in a conference room or a church, facing a boring camera lens, it's just like the president's New Year's speech every year, how boring. People don't have much patience to listen, and the speaker doesn't have the passion to play." The congressman pointed out the key point : "Emotions, Colonel, emotions are the key to all political activities. If you master the emotions of the people, you master politics. Love and hate are politics, and happiness and anger are politics. If you want to master these, you must need a stage."

Leto nodded: "Then, you need to know that these political activities are risky. As the person in charge of security during your trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, I need to remind you. These days, Serbs are experiencing violent emotional changes. They are not stable. We have received news that they may hold marches and protests in the near future. Government forces will try to avoid large-scale gatherings, but marches are still constitutional powers. If there are no extreme violent conflicts, the government will It is not good for the military to intervene too much."

"You mean, Serbs might come to the speaking convention too? Are you worried they'll sabotage the speeches and canvassing?"

"They will do whatever it takes to prevent this referendum as much as possible."

The congressman also took a step back: "Then maybe we can not choose a remote place like the Civic Center, but it must be meaningful, such as the National Library, Orphanage, Hospital, limit the number of spectators, and also limit the media. The number of speeches. Don’t speak for too long, and I will let them keep the speech as short as possible.”

Leto had a pleasant conversation with him: "Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Congressman."

The MP shook hands with him: "Then let's determine the specific agenda for the day."

After three hours, they ended their talks. When they came out of the hotel, the congressman could not help but compliment: "We are also very happy to see such young and outstanding people in the Bosnian government army. The alliance between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina must be there. Future."

"Speaking of the covenant, please forgive me for saying a few harsh words, Mr. Congressman, when we were fighting for food with the Serbs at the Sarajevo airport, Croatia seemed to forget about this covenant." Leto was in a bad mood today, and he didn't bother Too polite.

The congressman knew what he said and apologized: "I heard about this matter. The Ministry of National Defense is investigating it, and it seems that there is already a clue. Don't worry, Bosnia and Herzegovina will definitely give an explanation."

"Oh? Has anyone been caught?"

"I don't know the details, but there are already investigation targets, and many people have been drawn out. The Ministry of Defense has been very busy recently."

"It seems to be a big case. I don't know if high-level figures will be involved."

The car has arrived.Leto sent the man to the car, the councilor shook his hand again, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Colonel Solonazarov, let me give you a suggestion, during this time, please try to stay as far away from your Croatian friends as possible. Bar."

Leto's brows trembled, but before he could react, the councilor had already boarded the car and left.

When Walter came to pick Leto up, he saw his dear colonel's thoughtful expression.He couldn't guess whether the colonel was in a good mood or not, so he could only report his work situation truthfully——

"The People's Army got in touch, and they promised to meet tomorrow morning to discuss the hostage issue. In addition, Mario made another call. He found a suspicious person, which may have something to do with Linnai's disappearance."

Leto's attention immediately returned to Linnai: "Who?"

Walter said: "Odin Greenkins, instructor of the Royal Military Academy of Yugoslavia, Linnaeus' mentor."

Leto narrowed his eyes.If it is a person close to and trusted by Lin Nai, it is indeed possible to succeed in the assassination easily.

"Mario speculates that if Lin Nai is in distress, it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime. There are many people on the train, and it is difficult to take Lin Nai away in full view without attracting attention. If a stranger kidnaps forcefully, there will definitely be a fight , and there was no other commotion on the train except for the woman giving birth, so Lin Nai was taken away without struggling. It may be drugged and stunned, or it may be a sneak attack by knocking him out. Close operation is required, and it is not easy for a stranger to get close to special forces, and it is even more impossible for Lin Nai to accept food from unknown sources. Therefore, it is only possible that an acquaintance committed a crime, and it will not be the kind of friend who has not been in touch for many years. It should be someone who has always been very close, so that Lin Nai can trust enough."

"Fine, go on."

"Linnai has very few people close to him. Due to his occupation, he has been alone all year round. He has no relatives, few friends, and his partner for many years has died. Therefore, the suspect should be easily ruled out. Mario returned to Linnai's small house in the valley. Wooden house, looking for clues. He believes that Linnai has been at the forefront of public opinion recently. If he really has a good relationship with him, he will definitely contact him during this time and care about his recent situation. Sure enough, in Linnai’s mailbox, Mali O found a letter from this Odin Greenkins."

……

"Mario immediately found a large number of correspondence between Linnai and Greenkins in the cabin. It can be said that, apart from Roman Markotswiki, this is the person who has the most correspondence with Linnai and has been in touch. Mario So he locked Greenkins. He called the military academy in the name of parents to help their children understand the school situation, and inquired about Greenkins. Sure enough, they said that Greenkins was on a business trip during this period and went to Sarajevo."

Leto praised: "Well done. You tell Mario, and I will reward him. Let him continue to investigate, but don't easily startle the enemy."

"Yes." Walter was also happy: "Then I will go to see the current situation of the hostages and prepare the negotiating materials."

The two stood in the lobby of the hotel and waited for the driver to bring the car over.At this time, two military Hummers came galloping, and one braked suddenly and stopped at the door.Soldiers with loaded guns came in and aimed straight at Leto.

"What's going on?" Walter became anxious: "What is this for?"

The leading soldier was expressionless: "We are only following orders. Colonel, the military has found that you may be involved in espionage activities. Please cooperate with the investigation and come with us."
