While working quietly, Wei Ran reopened the plastic box, took out the two knives again and asked again, "Are you not mistaken? How could there be such a thing in a Jewish home?"
“That’s what’s weird”
Professor Alexei took out the Patriotic War Medal II from the box and weighed it, "But the strangest thing is this medal. I found out its owner through the number on the back, which is the 79th Infantry Army of the Soviet Union."
A commando of the 1st Battalion, 756th Regiment, 150th Division. This medal was awarded to him in 1943.
During the Battle of Berlin, this commando named Mikhail was seriously injured when he captured the Moltke Bridge. After the war, he was assigned to a radio factory in Belgorod as an accountant, but shortly after that,
He passed away because his physical condition deteriorated.”
"So this descendant of Mikhail..."
"No no no"
Professor Alexei didn't wait for Wei Ran to finish before correcting him, "This Mikhail didn't leave any descendants at all. He was a Jew from Germany. His father Mario died of an organ a month ago.
Exhaustion. Before Mario died, he kept chanting the name Mikhail and a name called Marco, and even shouted "Ula" from time to time."
"Wait, you mean, the Jew who is looking for you is not Russian?" Wei Ran raised his head and asked.
"I didn't say that?"
Professor Alexei patted his forehead and said, "It seems that I haven't said it yet, but it's too late now. This Jew is from Germany and runs several private hospitals in Berlin. He is a serious and wealthy man."
Wei Ran became more and more puzzled, "Put aside the seriousness and non-seriousness, how could this person find you?"
"Of course it was introduced by the middleman"
Professor Alexei continued the topic as a matter of course, "After Mario died, when his son was sorting out his belongings, he found these things on the table in the safe, and used the medal to find out who his father Mari was.
Mikhail, who kept thinking about me when I was dying.
But what kind of interaction happened between his father and Mikhail is unknown, and this is what he hopes to investigate clearly."
"How can we check this?" Wei Ran has a head and two heads. It is not easy to find out the story behind a incomplete medal without the help of a cowhide book. What's more, this medal is still
It was awarded in 1943.
"How to check and put it aside first"
Alexey mysteriously picked up the exquisitely crafted knife, pointed to a string of extremely difficult-to-detect cursive carvings on the handle and said, "The most important thing is that the one engraved on this knife is Mario."
There was another name Marco that he kept chanting before he died, and the surname of this name was exactly the same as that of the Jew.
I feel that the Jew seems to suspect that his father is actually a member of the Crispy Youth League. This may be what he really wants to investigate. But the most important thing is that he is willing to pay a price that makes us excited enough."
“What’s the price for doing something exciting?”
Wei Ran asked subconsciously. Although he had barely earned enough for next year's tuition last time he went to Finland, his money was still tight. Besides, it was already November, and he had to save more money before returning home at the end of the year.
Just fine.
"Six million rubles"
Professor Alexei didn't wait for Wei Ran to speak, and then added, "If you find out the relationship between his father Mario and the owner of the medal, you can get six million rubles in cash. Find out the relationship between his father and the owner of the medal."
The relationship between Marco, the owner of the knife, can get the second six million rubles."
"Twelve million rubles?!" Wei Ran stood up suddenly, this is not a small number!
“Originally I was going to get half of it.”
Professor Alexei pointed in the direction of the travel agency next door, "But your aunt said that you helped her open up a very valuable travel route, so no matter how much the proceeds this time are all yours, as long as you pay one hundred
Just give the middleman 10,000 rubles as an introduction fee."
Six million rubles is not too low, not to mention the possibility of getting two six million rubles! It is even possible to learn German. If you just think about it this way, it seems that it is not a loss at all. As for the introduction of the one million rubles
The fee is not too high, it can even be said to be a super low price.
But Wei Ran couldn't ignore the remaining bullet marks on the rough-made knife, as well as the battle experience of Mikhail just described by Alex. Because the two corroborated each other, there was a great possibility that it could be seen from the side.
It proves that all the secrets happened during the Battle of Berlin, but if it was the final battle...
Wei Ran lowered his head and looked at the various things on the table, mentally calculating the risks behind this matter. If it was like the last battle of Suaumusalmi, and he could successfully join the team, conquering the Battle of Berlin would not be a big deal.
There is a danger, but there is no doubt that there is a huge possibility of not learning German at all.
But if you accidentally side with the Germans this time, even if you can learn German, the cost and risk will be too high.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran asked Professor Alexei, "Besides these two knives and this medal, are there any key clues?"
Professor Alexei shook his head regretfully, "If there are more clues, I won't pay such a high price."
"I want to think about it," Wei Ran said after considering it.
"There's no rush." Professor Alexei was particularly happy this time. "The other party wants to use the survey results as a Christmas gift, so you still have about two months."
"Unless we can find more information about Mikhail, we can't find anything based on this bit of information." Wei Ran gave an ambiguous answer. He didn't want to appear too confident.
"Twelve million rubles can give you enough courage to face all the troubles," Professor Alexey sat aside and encouraged. "It's just a matter of looking through more historical archives."
"If it were as simple as you said, I'm afraid you would have solved it yourself."
Wei Ran muttered angrily, how could this old guy know that although he was 100% sure to find the final truth when investigating these things, he was also facing 100% danger.
Looking at the various things on half the table again, Wei Ran became more and more entangled in his heart. Can't this old guy find some easy work for me?
"Victor, think more about those twelve million."
Professor Alexey banged two knives against each other and made a dull sound, "This is the biggest business that this studio has received since its establishment. Next time I want to meet such a generous rich man, maybe
It will only be possible until Stalin is resurrected."
"Stalin is resurrected?" Wei Ran looked Professor Alexei up and down, his eyes clearly wondering which correctional camp would be suitable for this old guy.
But what he said is absolutely correct. The temptation of twelve million rubles is indeed not low, and such a big job is indeed rare to come across.
But is it worth taking such a big risk for 12 million rubles? Regarding this question, Weiran gave the answer without thinking for long - of course it is worth it!
