Chapter 1341 It turns out that tragedy has an ending
When Wei Ran, who was sleeping in the buoy, was awakened by Lu Xinda's call, the conversation between Marta and Alice was also heard outside the buoy.
Before he could respond to Lu Xinda's call just now, he vaguely heard the little girl reminding Marta in English, "The boss is probably going to run away again!"
In the dimly lit buoy, Wei Ran smiled silently, put away the kettle on the bedside, and responded in his native language. Then he climbed onto the buoy deck unhurriedly and greeted with a normal expression, "Put the suitcase on."
Pass it to me, and then you can help me find some tools."
"Boss, what tools do you need?" Lu Xinda, who was still making a small report just now, immediately raised her head and asked with a cute face.
"A crowbar, a staple remover, a saw and a hammer, and it's best to find a way to bring in a bright enough light."
Wei Ran said, already bending down to catch the suitcase that Marta pushed up on tiptoe, "That's all for now, don't come up yet, I need to change into a set of clothes that are convenient for work."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Xinda to help translate, he had already picked up his suitcase and got into the buoy again.
In addition to the daily changes of clothes, his business trip suitcase always contains the three sets of clothes that Teacher Dalia ordered for him in Moscow. Although these three sets of clothes have never been used, they have always been there.
It has almost become his habit to go out.
First putting on a set of light sportswear, Wei Ran then took out a retro brown leather suitcase with nothing inside from the third blue vortex that appeared recently, opened it, and put the three sets of clothes and various accessories
I put in my accessories, shoes and other items one by one, and also stuffed in some extra changes of underwear, socks and other items.
Finally putting away the suitcase, he stuffed the torn suit into the original suitcase, and then carried the almost empty suitcase out of the deck.
"Ms. Alice asked me to ask you, do you plan to take this buoy apart?" Marta, who followed, raised her neck and asked in Russian, "She is worried that you will destroy the buoy."
"Just taking apart the floorboards"
Wei Ran pointed to the watchtower behind him, "Tell her, the only unreasonable thing about this buoy right now is the wooden floor inside. That is not the original thing of this buoy. I need to put this buoy first."
The investigation cannot continue until the buoy is restored to its original state."
Hearing this, Marta immediately changed into English and was busy communicating with Alice. Wei Ran, who had changed into a new set of clothes, declined Lu Xinda's help and carried the suitcase down from the buoy deck alone, stuffing the suitcase into the
In the compartment of the car that Alice drove.
When he braved the freezing drizzle and returned to the barn, Marta immediately said, "Ms. Alice agreed, but she hoped not to damage anything inside, even the floors.
She said that she often played in the buoy when she was a child, and no matter what the buoy looked like at first, she didn't want to ruin her childhood memories."
"I'll try to be careful."
Wei Ran thought for a moment and then added, "Also, ask Alice if she has time, she can work with me to dismantle the floor inside the buoy."
Sure enough, after Marta translated the proposal, Alice immediately nodded and accepted Wei Ran's invitation, and then skillfully found various tools that Wei Ran needed from all over the barn.
On the following noon, Weiran, with the help of Marta, Lu Xinda and Alice, cleaned out all the things that could be moved and dismantled from the buoy one by one and made detailed records, and then carefully removed from the edge
The strips of solid wood flooring were pried open and were five to six centimeters thick.
When the one-meter-long floorboards were relayed to the buoy deck by four people, the original iron floor was gradually exposed inside the buoy.
Taking out his cell phone and checking the time, Wei Ran pointed with the screwdriver in his hand at the 20 cm square weld where the cabinet was originally pressed and said in Russian, "Marta, translate. According to my understanding
"The bottom of these rescue buoys is poured with concrete to ensure that the center of gravity is underwater, but this square weld is not a concrete pouring opening. In other words, there should not be such a weld here."
"Unless there is something hidden inside?" Marta concluded before Wei Ran finished.
"It's going to get dark soon, and it's time to have dinner."
Wei Ran didn't answer the question and changed the subject, "So let Alice help us get some food. She can take advantage of dinner time to consider whether to open it and whether to notify Mrs. Kate."
Hearing this, Marta nodded, and while Wei Ran was climbing the ladder to the outside of the buoy, she translated all his original words to Alice, and then called Lu Xinda to temporarily leave the buoy.
"Boss, how do you know there must be something hidden under the floor of the buoy?"
Lu Xinda asked curiously before her feet touched the ground. This was the first time that she, a little tail who was just eating and drinking, had the opportunity to "go on a business trip with her boss". She inevitably felt that Wei Ran's investigation process was too simple.
, this money is really easy to earn.
To put it simply, it is an illusion that "I can do whatever I want".
"I don't know that"
Wei Ran said seriously and perfunctorily as he walked in the direction of the car, "I originally just wanted to find the production information of that buoy.
During World War II in Germany, almost all military products produced by factories had inspection steel stamps, and this buoy was no exception. I was originally looking for those steel stamps. As for the welding seam just discovered, it was just an accident, and
I'm not sure if there's anything hidden in it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alice climbed out of the buoy. However, she did not come down. Instead, she sat on the edge of the deck, leaned on the railing and made a phone call.
"It seems that Alice has already made a decision." Wei Ran smiled, "I hope there will be some key discoveries in it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I found that it seems much easier for the boss to make money than Sister Aurora," Lu Xinda said to Marta in English.
"But Sister Aurora is much more diligent and smarter than the boss."
Marta also blatantly used English that Wei Ran couldn't understand, but she didn't notice that the smile that appeared on Wei Ran's face because of Lu Xinda's truth just now had followed her.
The words solidified instantly.
Too lazy to be serious with the two girls who were arranging themselves in English, Wei Ran strolled around the farm alone holding an umbrella, and finally stopped under a tall and lush oak tree.
Around this oak tree, several tombstones stained by time have been covered with flowers of various colors.
Using an umbrella to remove the flowers, he could still clearly see that among the names engraved on the tombstones were Phil, Heidi and Spear, as well as "Attila Klinsmann", "Fanny"
Charles Binoche" and "Louis Basten" - the younger brother of that thief aristocrat.
"It turns out that you are already a family...so...it turns out that tragedy has an ending..."
Wei Ran took out the kettle while he was talking to himself, and slowly poured the half-empty bottle of apple cider in front of the tombstones, letting the fragrant fruit wine mixed with the cold spring rain seep into the moist soil.
Soothe those miserable souls and soothe his own restless heart.
That evening, Lawyer Carlos not only drove over to deliver a sumptuous dinner, but also brought Mrs. Kate, the fat little man named William, and a gentle-looking man whom the three of them had never seen before.
After some introduction, it turns out that this man is Alice's ex-husband and current work partner - a forensic doctor.
Since the other party called for help, Wei Ran did not interfere. With Marta and Lu Xinda, who were staring at him and not allowing him to sneak away quietly, he carried dinner and got into the farm house, lit the fireplace and started.
eat.
In the brightly lit buoy, the ex-husband was also operating the angle grinder he bought temporarily. With the professional caution of a forensic doctor, he cut the square weld seam amidst the harsh noise. He also followed Wei Ran's instructions and was extremely careful.
A layer of concrete was cut through.
Finally, as the last layer of iron plate was cut, under the witness of lawyers Wei Ran and Carlos who were invited in, the elderly Mrs. Kate nervously took out a plain-looking bag from the secret compartment that was not too big.
An ordinary plastic box, and after opening the lid, he took out a book that was extremely tightly sealed, but it could still be seen at a glance that it was extremely worn, and seemed to have black traces left by blood oxidation - "My
struggle".
Continuing to take it out, there is also a small sewing tube made of clam. Wei Ran remembers that it was a gift from Spier to Heidi.
Apart from that, there were only two plastic-sealed envelopes left in the secret compartment, and a photo album that was also plastic-sealed.
Wei Ran knew that thick envelope. It was when Phil had asked him to give the envelope to William that he escaped into the buoy and committed suicide.
He still recognized the slightly shriveled envelope. It was the last letter left by Mrs. Barbara to Attila, her and Julian's only child, before she committed suicide.
"Mrs. Kate, I guess all the answers you want to know are probably in these things." Wei Ran said in French, "Do you still need me to continue investigating?"
"let me..."
Kate took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Victor, please go back and rest first."
After speaking, she switched to English and gave the same instructions, leaving only the fat man named William to accompany her.
"Let's go back to Brighton," Wei Yan said to lawyer Carlos as he walked out of the barn.
"Are you so confident that the hidden secret contains the answers Mrs. Kate needs?" Attorney Carlos asked with interest.
"I just want to go back and take a hot bath."
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already opened the car door and got in. "It would be better if I could sit by the fireplace and have a drink. This weather is really suffocating."
“This is a good offer”
Lawyer Carlos opened the door of the cab and greeted Marta and Lu Xinda in English, "Beautiful girls, hurry up and get in the car. Victor and I are going to find a warm place to have a drink. If you
If we also plan to come together, we won’t go to Mrs. Kate’s house.”
"Lucinda is not old enough to drink yet," Marta reminded in English as she bent down and got into the car.
"I can!"
Lu Xinda argued dissatisfiedly, "Last time Sister Aurora and I came here, we drank a large bottle of sparkling wine together!"
"When does sparkling wine count as wine..."
Marta murmured something in English, and after Lu Xinda sat down, she immediately closed the car door with a clatter.
A moment later, lawyer Carlos drove the car and drove Wei Ran and the three of them away from the farm that had fostered so many unfortunates in the night and rain.
