“No rush yet”

In the box, Simpson waved his good right hand to Wei Ran in an easy-going manner, "Please sit down first. We will talk about other things after you read the other photos in the album."

Seeing Wei Ran looking at him, Xia Shushi immediately translated the original words into Chinese. At this point, the former sat down and turned his attention to the crocodile skin photo album placed on the table again.

Continuing to turn back, almost the first third of this loose-leaf photo album of the same style is filled with fixed-thick photos, all of which record the evil acts of rape and robbery during the Singapore Massacre. The people who committed these evil acts in the photos do not look like

The other book focuses on three nuclear recruiters. The perpetrators are all ordinary soldiers - just like the victims are ordinary people.

Who says recruiting civilians for nuclear weapons is innocent?

Wei Ran couldn't help but snorted, they may be innocent, but the world has never lacked innocent people.

Aren’t the people who were wantonly massacred and humiliated in the photo also innocent? Among the 40 million Chinese people who suffered from being invaded at that time, who was not innocent?

"Look at this"

Xia Shushi took out a pair of silk gloves from his pocket and put them on, then took out a magnifying glass as big as a tea cup and pointed it at the protagonists in one of the photos.

It was a soldier holding a three-eight cap in his four hands and a hemorrhoid flag hanging under his bayonet.

The faces of these four soldiers were fixed with crazy and proud smiles, but on the bayonets they held in their hands, they all wore a small baby with its umbilical cord attached! And at their feet, there were four disemboweled bodies.

The broken-belly corpse of a woman!

"These beasts."

Wei Ran muttered something and then took a deep breath. He calmed down and continued flipping through the photo album in silence.

Continuing to scroll back, the middle third of the album records all kinds of devilish deeds committed by a devil wearing eyes and holding a wolf dog in his hand.

Some of the photos documenting these brutal acts were obviously taken during the Singapore Massacre, some seemed to be earlier, and some were obviously taken during the Sandakan Death March.

Wei Ran remembered this man even more than the dog. On the last page of another photo album, there was a photo of the Japanese wearing a kimono, stepping on clogs, and a rangefinder camera hanging on his chest. He even remembered,

This guy who seems to be a reporter or photographer is named "Nagasuka Joeji".

In the photos featuring it, the war crimes it committed are even worse than those seen before.

Massacre civilians, slaughter prisoners of war, humiliate women and children, torture and kill babies, or feed the wolf dog with those tender but bloody little arms and legs, or even drive the dog to bite the skinny prisoners of war and innocent civilians

.

And while doing these things, what was fixed on its face was an extremely crazy smile.

"This man is my uncle"

Simpson pointed to a beheaded prisoner of war and said, "At that time, this photo album was spread out on this page on the captain's desk. Mr. Hugo recognized it at a glance. This beheaded prisoner of war was me.

Father's brother Hannibal Simpson.

It is precisely to remember him and this hatred that my father gave me the same name."

After saying that, Simpson couldn't help but sigh.

While pretending to listen to Xia Shushi's translation, I continued to scroll back, but the background in the photo changed into an environment that seemed to be a cabin.

But what the next photo records is the beast named Nagatsuka Joeji, and several other men wearing only loincloths, abusing a naked woman!

Although the woman's face cannot be seen in this photo due to the angle, there are several Japanese lining up in the corner of the photo, also wearing only loincloths.

Continuing to scroll back, the next dozen or so photos are almost all scenes of Nagatsuka Joeji and some beast soldiers humiliating and even torturing this woman.

In two of the photos, this desperate-looking short-haired woman was even taken with a close-up of her face and her naked body.

However, I don't know why, including these two close-ups, almost all the photos in which the woman's facial features can be seen seem to have been burnt by cigarette butts, leaving only a group of unrecognizable black holes.

In the last photo related to this woman, she is still naked and her facial features cannot be seen clearly, but her body seems to be tied to a mine. And look at the few water devils around her.

Their body movements seemed to be cheering, as if they were about to push her and the mine into the sea.

He and Xia Shushi next to him looked at each other. They already had a common guess and silently turned their attention to the photo album on the table. Wei Ran also turned to the next page.

In the four photos fixed on this page, the protagonist is a short and thin man wearing only shorts.

He was tied tightly to the deck, but, just like the photo of the woman just now, his facial features were burnt black by something like a cigarette butt and beyond recognition.

In the second photo, he was escorted to a pier wearing a hood. On the edge of the photo, you can still see the hemorrhoid flag fluttering in the wind, as well as part of the outline of the ship.

When the third photo was taken, the man, still wearing a hood, was pushed into a pit. There were three Japanese soldiers holding shovels around him who seemed to be preparing to fill the pit with soil.

Wei Ran even recognized at a glance that these three Japs were the three executioners in the other photo album!

Looking at the last photo, it is a Japanese soldier named Nagatsuka Joeji, standing on a filled-in living burial pit, stepping on a big stone with his feet and having someone take a photo of him.

“These photos were originally placed at the beginning of the album.”

Simpson said before Weiran scrolled back, "But in order to avoid being considered as some kind of pornographic photo album with a restricted rating, my father moved these cruel photos to the back of the Singapore massacre photos."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to Xia Shushi's translation, Wei Ran nodded and continued to turn the pages.

However, the next photo album pages are all taken by Nagatsuka Joeji when he abused various women.

Although these photos are still in black and white, the three-dimensional facial features of those women make it clear at a glance that these are white women, or in other words, beautiful, young and obviously forced white women.

I speeded up a little and turned back a few pages. After these fragrant and cruel photos, I found that just like another photo album, there were many negatives fixed in small paper bags. And on the inside of the back cover of the last page, there was still a photo

Nagatsuka Joeji's photo and exactly the same signature.

Seeing Wei Ran turn the loose leaf to the pages where the negatives were saved, Simpson seemed to have guessed what he was looking for and said, "Except for the woman who seemed to be insulted on the boat and the man who was buried alive, every other photo

There are corresponding negatives.”

Hearing this, Wei Ran turned to look at Xia Shushi, who was stunned for a moment and translated the English paragraph into Chinese.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Ran and Xia Shushi looked at each other again and said in Chinese, "Mr. Simpson, can you tell me what you need me to do now?"

"Tang, how about you help me find a supermarket to buy a bottle of high-end Chinese wine? By the way, let the waiter wait for half an hour before bringing the dishes out."

As Simpson spoke, he took out a few hundred-dollar Australian dollars from his pocket and handed them to Translator Tang, who had just been responsible for translating Chinese into English for him.

"No problem Mr. Simpson"

The young translator Tang took the cash, stood up and said, "It will probably take me about half an hour to come back. If you need to buy anything else, you can call me at any time."

After speaking, the young translator smiled apologetically at Wei Ran and Xia Shushi, and then left the box.

"Don was a very smart young man, and if reckless Luke was half as smart as he was, he wouldn't have risked his own life."

After Simpson finished speaking, he sighed again, "Mr. Wei, you are still in no hurry to do what I need you to do. Now can you tell me your speculation first?"

Taking advantage of Xia Shushi's translation, Wei Ran also thought about it for a while, and then asked knowingly, "What kind of speculation do you need?"

"Speculations about those photos without negatives," Mr. Simpson rushed to answer this question when Xia Shushi was halfway through his translation.

"What do you think?"

Wei Ran asked Xia Shushi beside him, then quietly stood up, walked to the door of the box and opened the door. Seeing that the Tang translator was not outside, he closed the door and sat back to his original position.

"Amelia Earhart"

Xia Shushi paused and added, "The one buried alive might have been his navigator, Fred Noonan."

After finishing speaking, Xia Shushi repeated the sentence in English. Simpson also nodded and said frankly, "It is the same as what my father Karan and Chris's father Mr. Hugo speculated."

"so."

As soon as Xia Shushi started talking, Simpson shook his head helplessly, "But the facial features of the woman and man in the photo cannot be seen at all, and there is no way to tell the time and place when the photo was taken. This proves nothing at all.

"

Waiting patiently for Xia Shushi to finish translating, Simpson stood up and walked to the edge of the photo album. He skillfully turned to the page of the photo of the man buried alive, pointed at the three Japanese with shovels in their hands, "These three bastards are the other one."

The three executioners in the album."

After saying that, Simpson reached into his briefcase again and took out a metal box that was only slightly larger than a cigarette case.

Opening the metal box, it turned out to be a waterproof photo frame with exquisite workmanship. In the two photo frames that were folded in half, there was a yellowed photo in each frame.

In these two photos, there is a photo of Nagatsuka Joeji wearing a kimono and three executioners also wearing kimonos from another photo album. The only difference is that the background is different.

"The background in this photo is the Industrial Incentive Hall in Hiroshima Prefecture. Of course, this is the architectural site where a little boy kissed me affectionately. After World War II, it was generally called the Atomic Bomb Dome."

After a brief pause to give Xia Shushi enough time to translate, Simpson pointed to the background of the second group photo and said, "This fake smaller Statue of Liberty actually opened in March 1950 in Osaka, which was undergoing a nuclear war.

Set at the American Fair.”

"So they all survived." Xia Shushi pointed out the most critical issue before translating.

"Yes, those demons survived."

Simpson let out a heavy sigh, "These two photos were originally placed in the photo album that Luke was going to sell. When my father, Callan, and Chris's father, Mr. Hugo, were alive, they were almost exhausted.

All my life, I have wanted to find the remaining three executioners, or find the negatives of the photos of the woman and the man, or the specific location where the man was buried alive."

After translating this sentence to Wei Ran, Xia Shushi muttered in Chinese doubtfully, "I understand that they want to find the other three executioners for revenge, but what are they looking for that female pilot?"

"Revenge is still for revenge." Wei Ran answered this question almost subconsciously.

"revenge?"

Xia Shushi was stunned, and then he suddenly realized that it was not just revenge. If it could be proven that the woman who was insulted and thrown into the sea was the female pilot Earhart, and if it could be proven that the man who was buried alive was Earhart's

Navigator.
