On the afternoon of September 14th, Heidi's tailor shop could not be said to be busy. The two Heidi sisters had been busy washing clothes in the yard since lunch.
Wei Ran, who was guarding the tailor shop at the front, in addition to occasionally dealing with trivial tasks such as ironing clothes or shining shoes, and collecting clothes, also took the time to use the materials he could find on hand to refill the emergency oxygen bottle he found yesterday.
I made a canvas cover that could be fixed to the belt. I also soaked the inside and outside of the respirator with a layer of wax oil, and made a canvas strap that could be tightened to fix it on the face.
In addition to these trivial matters, he also kept staring out the window at the grocery store across the road. From time to time, when he saw a chained dog passing by, he would run out and look around and around.
Fortunately, until they decided to close, no one tried to open the door of the grocery store, and no one came to the tailor shop to look for clues. Of course, the two missing chain dogs he nominally helped find also miraculously never appeared again.
.
Just like yesterday, after closing time, Wei Ran and Vanessa took the ration coupons given by Heidi and queued up to receive food for tonight and tomorrow. They did not make any squandering behavior because of yesterday's windfall.
.
"Vanessa, do you know any foreign languages?"
On the way to the tailor shop carrying the food, Wei Ran, who had not figured out what language he had learned all day, simply decided to look for clues from the people around him.
"Foreign language?" Vanessa looked at Wei Ran strangely, "Why do you ask this so suddenly?"
"causal talk"
Wei Ran said in a casual tone, "It would be great if some of us could speak German, so that we could know what those guests are talking about."
"I don't speak German"
Vanessa shook her head, then said, "You know, I study law."
"So?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.
"Although I don't know German, I know Latin, and Latin is a required course for us."
"Do you know Latin?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"Can't you?" Vanessa asked.
"Do you think I might?"
Wei Ran spread his hands and threw the question back, "Speak a few words in Latin. I haven't heard anyone speak Latin yet."
"You really don't know Latin?"
Vanessa said this sentence in Latin, and Wei Ran understood it without any difficulty, but at this time, the expression on his face was still full of confusion.
"It seems you really don't understand Latin"
Vanessa switched back to French and whispered into Wei Ran's ear, "You know English well, right? My sister and I know English because our mother is British."
"Is your mother British?" Wei Ran also asked in English, leaning into the other person's ear, and at the same time he answered the other person's question.
"Is it weird?"
Vanessa obviously didn't hear what Wei Ran was saying, and she whispered into Wei Ran's ear in English with an accent from the second ring of old London without any thought, "She is a tailor, a tailor who came to France to study fashion design.
My sister learned her tailoring skills from my mother, and my parents also ran the shop together."
"So your parents are actually tailors?"
Wei Ran asked in French, and at the same time he was trying in his heart, and secretly repeated the sentence in Latin. Although this metal book is convenient for teaching people knowledge, without knowing what he has learned, what is in his mind is
Really "No matching database found".
"To be precise, only my mother is"
Vanessa also switched back to French and replied quite proudly, "My father is a fabric merchant. My mother often says that his business is not very good, otherwise he would not be running a tailor shop."
“A very well-matched couple”
Wei Ran said sincerely, isn't this just the pancake seller marrying the green onion seller? It is indeed a perfect match.
"My sister and Mr. Spear are also a good match."
Vanessa said with some envy, then she leaned against Wei Ran's ear again, stood on tiptoe and whispered in French, "Besides, my sister seems to be pregnant. She told me this secretly. She is not sure yet."
Well, I'm not going to tell Mr. Spear just yet.
And I also swore to keep her secret for the time being, Victor, you can't tell Mr. Spear secretly."
"I swear, I will keep it secret." While Wei Ran made the promise, his heart couldn't help but sink.
He remembered clearly that there was another person who escaped from the roundup during this return mission. If Heidi was really pregnant, the next escape would be really dangerous for her.
But in any case, the three of them were indeed related to the death of the two chain dogs last night. It may not be that simple to eliminate the suspicion. But judging from the current situation, the sisters seemed to have no intention of escaping at all.
When the topic came to this point, the two of them also walked to the door of the tailor shop, and saw two sidecar motorcycles parked at the door, as well as two chain dogs standing guard at the door of the grocery store.
“Wear a curious look on your face.”
Wei Ran whispered instructions into her ear, and at the same time, he pinched her butt gently but not too hard.
Vanessa, who had just shown a hint of panic on her face, couldn't help but be stunned. When she noticed Wei Ran pinching her butt, the panic and nervousness that were about to appear on her face were also affected by this.
He pinched it all the way to the sky, leaving only the blushing shyness on his cheeks.
When the two of them walked into the tailor shop, they found Heidi sitting on the sofa with a chain dog with the rank of captain, and on the other side of Heidi was the younger chain dog who had come to inquire about it at noon.
"You came back just in time."
When Heidi saw Wei Ran and Vanessa come in, she immediately said, "Victor, have you seen the two gentlemen this afternoon who came to sew trousers and nail shoe soles yesterday?"
"No"
Wei Ran said as he handed the food he was carrying to Vanessa, "I have been paying attention to the military police passing by outside all afternoon, but I did not see them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Captain, he is the coward I told you, who is bleeding."
The young chain dog who had rescued the bleeding Wei Ran before lunch said in German, "The shy and timid girl next to me is Ms. Heidi's sister Vanessa."
The captain's chain dog looked at Wei Ran and said in German, "Ask him, what did they say when they came yesterday?"
After saying that, the captain took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Wei Ran.
"Thanks"
Wei Ran quickly took it with both hands and lit it on fire while the young chain dog was translating. Then he roughly described what happened when the two chain dogs arrived yesterday.
"Did they never come back after leaving yesterday?" the captain's chain dog asked in German in a leisurely manner.
"Tell him that I want to talk to him alone and ask Ms. Heidi and Vanessa to stay away for a while."
When this sentence was translated into French by the young chain dog, Heidi nodded gently, "In this case, let's go prepare dinner. If you two gentlemen have time, why not stay and have dinner together later? It's right.
Thanks to Mr. Sammy for taking care of my brother Victor, we still have half a bottle of cognac that we can drink together."
After listening to his subordinates' translation, the captain nodded particularly happily, "In that case, let's have a dinner here. Sammy, ask Hans to get some ingredients and bring over whatever you have."
"good!"
The soldier named Sami stood up immediately after speaking. He first accepted Heidi's invitation, then opened the store door and called a companion outside to drive a motorcycle to get the ingredients.
During this period, the captain's chain dog kept looking at the slightly cramped Wei Ran, while Heidi pulled Vanessa into the inner room and into the yard.
"Sister, how..."
"Shh-" Heidi made a silent gesture, "Let's prepare dinner first."
"Okay, okay." Vanessa nodded in agreement, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and followed Heidi into the room with a small amount of ingredients.
When the young chain dog named Sammy sat down on the other side of the guard again, the captain said, "Ask him if Lucas or Julian slept with his sister or younger sister."
"Sir, do you think my elder sister and younger sister are lonely girls on the roadside?"
Wei Ran waited for Sami to finish the translation and asked angrily, "If my sisters need to sleep with men to make money, why do they have to starch and wash clothes every morning in such cold weather?"
"It seems we misunderstood Ms. Heidi and Ms. Vanessa"
After the captain listened to Sami's translation, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, "I wonder if you would still welcome us to have dinner together after I asked this rude question?"
Still waiting patiently for Sami to finish his translation, Wei Ran took a deep breath, then looked at the young chain dog who "rescued" him in the afternoon and said, "Mr. Sami, we would like to invite you and your boss to use
Dinner is to thank you for your kindness and selfless help to me.
If your boss has any inappropriate thoughts about my sister, then I'm sorry, but we don't welcome you. Finally, it's up to you to decide whether to stay for dinner."
Wei Ran, the indignant rebel general, immediately stumped the young chain dog Sami, and the captain chain dog obviously saw the troubled expression on his men's faces, "Sammy, the young man said
what?"
After a moment's hesitation, Sami translated Wei Ran's words to his superior.
"Looks like I'm persona non grata"
The captain stood up while he was talking, and said as he walked out, "Okay, let's go back."
"Aren't we staying for dinner?" Sammy, the chain dog, asked as he walked out. "Hans has already gone to get the ingredients."
"Let's come back here for dinner when we find Lucas and Julian."
After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ran and said, "Tell him, please don't misunderstand me. My inquiry just now was just to find reasonable suspicion for clues, not to question his sister or his sister's chastity.
In addition, I asked him to apologize to Ms. Heidi for me, and we went back temporarily. Sammy, you stay here later, and after Hans delivers the ingredients, you go back with him."
"yes!"
The chain dog named Sammy responded solemnly, and after watching his boss get on the sidecar motorcycle and leave, he translated the words to Wei Ran.
"Sammy, am I in trouble?" Wei Ran asked pretending to be panicked.
"Will not"
Sami waved his hand and said with admiration, "Our captain is not as petty as Lucas. He is an excellent policeman, a very calm and experienced policeman."
"Looks like we're really in trouble..."
Wei Ran muttered secretly in his heart. While he was alert in his heart, he also enthusiastically extended a dinner invitation to Sami.
Fortunately, this young chain dog was really an honest kid and refused Wei Ran's invitations one after another. After the chain dog named Hans delivered a box full of ingredients, he immediately disappeared on a motorcycle with a sidecar.
Looking at the box full of various vegetables and the red wine, bread, beef, sausages, cheese and butter mixed in, Wei Ran couldn't be happy at all. He knew that those chain dogs locked on the grocery store across the road, I'm afraid
It's just a matter of time.
Wei Ran slowly locked the door of the store, carried the box of ingredients into the back room, passed through the door and the yard, and found Heidi and Vanessa who were busy cooking dinner by the fireplace.
"Where are the two gentlemen?" Heidi asked while working.
"They left," Wei Ran said, placing the small box he was holding on the table, "I asked a few questions and then left."
As soon as these words were spoken, Vanessa immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her hands with her apron and walked to the table. While rummaging through the box that Wei Ran brought, she said in surprise, "There is such a thing.
A big piece of beef and a bottle of red wine! We will...”
"We must leave Saint-Omer tonight"
Heidi stopped what she was doing and said worriedly, "I have a hunch that they might find the grocery store soon."
"leave?"
Vanessa was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that equivalent to admitting that the disappearance of those two people is related to us? And now let alone the evidence, they haven't even found the bodies."
"evidence?"
Wei Ran couldn't help but take over the words, "For those chain dogs, they don't need any evidence at all. They only need suspicion. If we wait until they find the evidence before running away, we may not even be able to escape from this yard."
"But let's go..."
“Go to Castle Philippe”
Heidi took off her apron and whispered, "Let's go to Philip's Castle to find Spear! He must have a way to hide us."
"When shall we set off?" Wei Ran asked, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"After dark, since the two gentlemen won't stay for dinner, let's just grab something to eat and set off."
After saying this, Heidi immediately regretted it and said while putting on her apron, "No, later, we will wait until midnight before setting off! We are going to have a good meal tonight."
"In that case, I'll go get the camera, and then let's take some photos while it's still dark," Wei Ran suggested in a timely manner.
"Camera?" Vanessa looked at Wei Ran curiously, "Where did you get the camera?"
"Of course it was given to me by my grandfather." Wei Ran's matter-of-fact tone made the sisters smile.
Now that they had made a decision, the two sisters immediately started making dinner using the rich ingredients available. Wei Ran went back to the tailor shop to browse around, carrying the Rolleiflex camera he took out from the metal book, and gave it to the girl who was busy cooking dinner.
The two sisters took a few photos first, and then invited them to the tailor shop to take a few photos.
"Shall we take some pictures wearing the clothes we brought back yesterday?" Vanessa suggested, "After washing those clothes, I hung them by the fireplace to dry."
"There's still enough time." Heidi agreed to the proposal without much thought.
While Taiyang was busy getting off work, the sisters put on the clothes they had stolen last night and posed in various poses in the yard, allowing Wei Ran to take individual photos and photos of them.
Zhang's photo.
Under the last ray of sunset, Wei Ran took the last photo with the sisters, and then they walked into the room together and brought the French stew and onion soup that had been kept warm on the fireplace to the table.
Because they were busy escaping for their lives at night, the three of them wisely did not drink. Not only did they not drink, they even lowered their voices when talking.
"elder sister"
Vanessa swallowed the beef in her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Will it be safe if we escape to Castle Philip?"
"I have no idea"
Heidi said worriedly, "I'm not even sure if Spier is still at Castle Philip. There has been no news from him for more than a week, but where else can we go except to find him?"
Vanessa fell silent after hearing this, and Wei Ran opened his mouth, but ultimately did not give his advice.
"After eating, let's all pack our things," Heidi finally said, "Don't bring too many things."
"Sister, those we buried yesterday..."
"Just bury those things there."
Heidi said, "Bringing them will make us more dangerous, and didn't Victor already share a sum of money with us yesterday? Plus the money we saved is enough."
"We'll put on German uniforms later."
Although Wei Ran, who had been thinking about the escape plan during the day, would not suggest the direction of escape, he could give some suggestions on the method of escape, "Heidi, you may need to shorten your hair. We are wearing German uniforms.
It will be safer to leave Saint-Omer, and then we can go find the motorcycle that was hidden yesterday. If it has not been found yet, we may be able to reach the Chateau Philippe before dawn."
When he said this proposal, Heidi and Vanessa both brightened up. The former stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to cut my hair right now. Vanessa, you come and pack the valuable things at home. Can you?"
Take away whatever you can, and you have to find a way to hide whatever you can’t take away.”
"Leave it to me!" Vanessa had already stood up and ran upstairs before she could finish her words.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also returned to his room. He really had nothing to deal with, so he simply put on the German uniform he brought from downstairs, put the money he had received yesterday into his pocket, and then
I dug out the oversized flashlight and replaced it with new batteries, and I was ready to escape.
Compared to his straightforwardness, Heidi and Vanessa on the other side of the yard were busy trimming their hair, and discussing which things should be taken away and which things could be left behind.
On the second floor of the tailor shop, Wei Ran opened a crack in the window, lay fully clothed on the bed, covered himself with a blanket, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
At 8:11 p.m., Heidi and Vanessa not only cut their hair, but also took a shower and changed their clothes, and also put on a German uniform outside. Not only that, they also decided to take the
Everything I took was packed into two leather handbags that were not too big.
At this moment, the sisters had no idea of catching up on sleep and replenishing their energy. Instead, they sat by the fireplace and chatted quietly to relieve their inner tension and anxiety.
At the same moment, Wei Ran woke up from his sleep, turned over and leaned against the curtain, listening to the sound of the motorcycle engine outside.
When he gently lifted a corner of the curtain and saw several sidecar motorcycles approaching in the distance, he immediately realized something, ran downstairs, crossed the yard and rushed into the small building where Heidi and her sisters lived.
.
"Quickly!" Wei Ran whispered, "I'm afraid they have found the grocery store."
Hearing this, Heidi and Vanessa's hearts sank, and they stood up quickly, picking up the leather bags at hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Almost at the same time that the door of the grocery store was knocked open, the three of them also left the house through the back door in the night, not forgetting to lock it by the way.
That door.
After all, these two sisters were natives. Under the cover of night, they ran toward the outside of the city in the dark, carrying their fire engines and following the shadows of the surrounding buildings.
When the German chain dogs rushed to the second floor of the grocery store and found the large dried blood stains on the bedroom floor, and finally opened the safe and discovered the smelly corpses, Wei Ran was already under the leadership of Heidi and Vanessa
We reached the edge of the A River, and using the cover of reeds, we left the city of Saint-Omer.
Not daring to turn on the light at all, and not daring to stop and rest for a while, Wei Ran and the other two people bypassed the patrol team and ran desperately toward the cemetery where the motorcycle was hidden.
At this time, on the second floor of the grocery store, the captain who had interrogated Wei Ran at dusk also raised a flashlight and noticed the roll of fabric that Heidi had abandoned on the second floor.
He turned his head and flashlight to look at the dust accumulated on the table under the cloth. He then touched the roll of cloth and even put his nose to it and smelled it.
After a moment, he stood up and gave the order, "Go and arrest the three people from the tailor shop across the street."
"yes!"
The young chained dog named Sammy responded immediately, quickly went downstairs with a few companions, and ran to the tailor shop across the street. After first surrounding it, he started banging on the door.
They were able to find the grocery store thanks to the non-stop investigation since noon yesterday, and finally found some clues - a wanderer doing business on this street revealed that she had seen him last night
A sidecar motorcycle parked in front of the grocery store and a person was captured from inside.
Although the woman in the leather business was not sure whether the two chain dogs who arrested people here last night were the two missing chain dogs, these chain dogs did lose a motorcycle, which is enough for these chain dogs.
.
"Open the door." Before Sammy finished speaking, another chain dog had already brought a pair of wire cutters and easily cut off the padlock of the sliding security door.
As expected, when a group of chained dogs broke into the tailor shop, they found no one alive except for the uncollected dinner leftovers on the table.
When the captain got the news and rushed over, he just glanced at the still burning fireplace, picked up the tea cup and touched the still warm black tea inside, and immediately said, "Those three people haven't run away yet, Sammy."
, catch them before dawn and send them to my office. In addition, inform the major and ask him to immediately send people to guard the main entrance and exit of Saint-Omer."
"Yes!" Sammy immediately straightened his chest and loudly responded to the order.
