In the warm room, Wei Ran stood by the window and looked through the telescope for a long time, then sat on the carpet again and returned the cowhide book.
"Now that the medal number has been obtained, all that's left is to verify my guess..." Wei Ran muttered to himself but stopped mid-sentence, "Maybe we need to go to Ahola Village."
After sorting out his thoughts, Wei Ran took back his notebook and took the flag to find Chris who was preparing dinner on the first floor.
"Where are Jima and Akeem?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"They went hunting," Chris said with a smile. "That assistant of yours looks very energetic."
“Too much”
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly and asked seriously, "Aunt Chris, I want to ask you some questions."
"What's the problem?" Chris took out a large plate of freshly baked blueberry pie from the oven, cut it into pieces and brought it to the dining table. Then he wiped his hands and sat across from Wei Ran.
"Can I know your last name?" Wei Ran asked straight to the point and asked what he was most concerned about.
"Raikkonen, my name is Chris Raikkonen"
Hearing Chris's answer, Wei Ran had no doubts anymore. It seemed that she was the descendant of the only son of Mika and his wife Sally.
And Chris had no idea about Mika's combat experience, probably because after he died in Vyborg, Mika's wife died unexpectedly prematurely, and the old hunter adopted their child, who was Chris.
Reese's father seemed to be hiding something for some reason.
It seems that it is really necessary to go to Ahola Village. I hope there are still traces of Daddy Ino there...
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Ran changed the topic and started chatting. After Jima and Akeem each came back with some prey, the three of them had a lively dinner, and Wei Ran also made excuses during the dinner.
I moved back to a glass house where I can see the stars.
In the steamy sauna, Jima held a can of cold beer and asked, "Victor, tomorrow is the 14th, when do you plan to go back?"
"Aren't you going to the bar?" Wei Ran asked absently.
"I just wanted to go to the bar, so I asked you when you planned to go back." Jima looked deceived, "Originally, I thought I could go to a big city like Helsinki, but I didn't expect you to come here.
Besides being colder, what’s the difference between it and the Hongqi Forest Farm on the outskirts of Kazan?”
"At least there are no teachers like Karp and Dalia here." Jima shivered subconsciously, "Don't mention them, otherwise you will have nightmares at night. But when do you plan to go back?"
"The day after tomorrow"
Wei Ran picked up a beer and bumped into each other and Akeem, who was sitting aside and listening to the excitement, "Tomorrow we will go to a place and then fly to Kazan on the night of the 16th."
"Has your investigation made progress?" Akeem asked in surprise.
"I can't talk about progress, but I happened to find some clues in relevant historical records. The details will be verified tomorrow."
When Wei Ran said this, he sighed secretly. He had no intention of commenting on the retired Akeem and his wife, Aunt Chris. But as a descendant of Mika, Chris seemed to be instigated by Akeem and accidentally made a mistake.
He wanted to "recognize the thief as his father" and have a relationship with the commander of the 163rd Division, which really made him feel unspeakably miserable.
After finishing the sauna, Wei Ran returned to the room and closed the curtains, then turned on the desk lamp and summoned the cowhide book that had become a tattoo again, and took out a few film negatives from the paper bag on the side of the black and white photo.
With the help of the light, Wei Ran could barely see the content of these negatives. As expected, there was no shadow of himself in these negatives. Even in the photo of the three of them holding the flag, only Mika and
There are two people, Father Ino.
After putting away the negatives again, Wei Ran opened the tablet he had brought and logged into the official website of Finland's True Ax. After a painstaking search, he finally successfully found the relevant records of the medals recorded in the cowhide notebook.
After working hard to save the screenshots one by one, Wei Ran put away the leather notebook and lay down on the soft big bed and fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, after eating a hearty breakfast, Weiran took out his tablet and showed the screenshots he saved last night to Chris and Akeem, "This is what I learned from Suao Musar in the past two days.
Relevant clues found in the list of medals awarded in the Battle of Mi. According to the military exploits recorded in these medals, there was a Civil Guard sniper named Mika Raikkonen and the sniper named Ino Vatanen.
For capturing the flag of the Soviet Infantry Division, they were awarded the Cross of Freedom 2nd Class."
"etc"
Chris pointed his finger at the screenshot on the screen and reminded, "It doesn't say that what they captured was the flag of the 163rd Division, and looking at the records on it, these two people came from a village called Ahola. This is
I’ve never heard of this place.”
"Compared to these, how do you understand these Finnish languages?" Jima asked doubtfully.
“Can’t I use translation software?”
Wei Ran pretended to have a headache and said, "It took me a lot of effort to find these two people from the lists of those who were awarded medals. As for Aunt Chris' question, if the translation given by the translation software is correct, I would like to confirm it.
Is there any relationship between these two Civil Guard snipers from Ahola and the flag found in your home? I’m afraid we can only go there in person."
"Are we leaving now?" Akeem asked impatiently.
Chris looked at Wei Ran and nodded without hesitation, "In that case, let's set off now!"
After convincing these two people, the rest of the matter was much simpler. In less than ten minutes, the old station wagon was driven by Chris himself from Likaplaxi Village and headed straight for Suaomu under the guidance of the navigation system.
The village of Ahola is more than ten kilometers north of Ssarmi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are only a few houses in this village. It can even be said that most villages in Finland have a relatively small population, and accordingly, everyone lives relatively scattered.
However, it is not without its benefits. In addition to perfectly alleviating the ancestral social fear of the Finns, the long distance between neighbors also facilitates their group's need to inquire for information.
After driving around the village for a long time, Chris parked the car at the door of a particularly beautiful wooden house and walked towards an old man who was repairing a sleigh at the door of his garage.
After some questioning, she successfully got a satisfactory answer, got into the car again and drove along the country road to the door of a red spire house near the lake.
"This is it." Chris turned off the engine. "According to the old man just now, there is only one family with the surname Vatanen in this village. But he has not heard any stories about that Ino."
"Aunt Chris, shall I go with you?" Wei Ran said with a smile.
Chris nodded, and Wei Ran opened the car door one after another, walked to the door of the house and rang the doorbell silently.
Two or three minutes later, as the door was opened, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses opened the door a crack, exposed half of her head and looked at the two people standing at the foot of the door in confusion, "What's the matter?
?”
"Hello ma'am" Chris asked with a kind smile, "Is this the Vatanin family?"
The woman nodded, "Excuse me, are you..."
"I'm Chris, Chris Raikkonen, and this young man is Victor."
"Jana Vatanen" the woman announced her home and continued to look at the two of them suspiciously.
"That's it." Chris briefly explained the things about the old hunter Ino in the screenshot provided by Weiran this morning, and then frankly told the purpose of the trip to the person who was still hiding most of his body in the door.
middle-aged woman.
After listening to Chris' description, Jiana hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door completely, revealing the double-barreled shotgun hanging on the inside of the wooden door, "Come in and sit down."
"Thank you." Chris showed a gentle smile, followed Jiana with Wei Ran into the living room, and sat on the soft sofa.
At the other party's invitation, Wei Ran followed the woman into the living room and sat on the soft sofa.
"I'm sorry Chris"
After serving coffee to the two of them, Jana explained apologetically, "My husband died of cancer five years ago. I don't know much about the history of the Vatanin family, and I've never heard him talk about it.
His ancestors had participated in the war."
"Is that so?" Chris sighed regretfully, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jana, for bringing up your sadness."
"It doesn't matter"
Jiana shook her head and said, "But you can go to the warehouse to look for it. There are many relics left by my husband and his father during their lifetime. If the facts are as you said, my son and I will also
I’ll be very proud.”
"Is it really possible?" Chris, who had no hope at all, asked in surprise. This sudden trust really surprised her and Wei Ran, who was eavesdropping on the side.
"It doesn't matter," Jiana said with a smile, "I was a soldier when I was young. Being able to help those veterans find their glory is also a very meaningful thing for me."
"Thank you" Chris stood up and thanked sincerely.
"Come with me." Jiana waved her hand nonchalantly, signaling the two of them to follow her out of the house and walked to an adjacent wooden warehouse.
This warehouse is not large in area, and the things inside are packed into wooden boxes of different sizes, neatly stacked together, and on the lid of each box, there are
Blue paint says the time of packing.
When we opened the warehouse, one of the walls was covered with dusty animal skull specimens. On the gun rack fixed on the opposite wall, there were civilian weapons of different models that had been wiped clean.
shotgun.
"If you can find anything, it can only be found here."
Jiana turned on the light and walked along the narrow gap to the innermost part. After searching for a while, she pointed to a few long wooden boxes covered with dust in the corner and said, "That should be it. That house and this warehouse are both
My husband inherited it from his father, and it seems like these boxes have always been there and have never been opened."
After Chris finished translating for Wei Ran, Wei Ran, who pretended not to understand Finnish, walked to the end and carefully took out the three wooden boxes placed against the wall.
These three long boxes were unexpectedly heavy and were even sealed with rusty iron sheets. However, without exception, the names written in paint remained on the sides of these boxes.
"Mika Raikkonen?"
Wei Ran wiped the remaining paint writing on one of the wooden boxes with his sleeve, and then wiped the writing on another box, revealing the words "Ino Vatanen". On the third box,
The words "Sally Brin" remain!
The ruffian reminds you: please collect it after reading it.
