"Boss, the identity of the kidnapper has been revealed."
On the shore of Kaban Lake, just when Wei Ran put the child Matthew, who was almost hanging on him, on the sofa, Katenka also reminded him in Russian.
After looking at each other with Suisui, Wei Ran first poured Matthew a glass of fresh birch sap that Greva had just delivered this morning. Then, while Suisui was introducing everyone, he followed Anfiya and left temporarily.
The room came to the edge of the fountain pool directly opposite the door.
"A few days ago, Mr. Charlotte offered a reward for the kidnapper through the dark web. Just now, someone sold the kidnapper's identity."
Anfiya said as she handed her tablet to Wei Ran, "Now Mr. Charlotte has sent people to control the kidnappers, and Lawyer Carlos will arrive later."
"IT technician and electrician?"
Wei Ran frowned as he looked at the French resume displayed on the tablet. Both of them had worked in the Italian-French Antarctic scientific research project.
"The electrician is still working at the scientific research station"
Anfiya stretched out her hand to help swipe the screen and continued, "But the IT technician did not go to the Antarctic station for winter duty this time. He is from Pisa, Italy, the one who lives in the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and is currently on vacation at home.
The person who participated in the kidnapping with him was the electrician's brother, the third person on the screen.
He was also the cook on the transport ship rented by the scientific research team, so he had reason to doubt the ‘friends on the ship’ that the two black men had mentioned but could not find.”
"Are they all in Pisa?" Wei Ran asked curiously, looking at this relatively detailed information.
"At least according to the information we received, Mr. Charlotte's people will probably arrive there this afternoon."
Anfiya took the tablet from Wei Ran and asked, "Boss, you need us..."
"No, no need."
Wei Ran shook his head decisively and asked, "Can you find out who sold the information?"
"Not found"
Anfiya shook her head, "The other party's technology is very good, much better than the kidnapper's network technology. He didn't leave any network traces at all."
"So now a third party knows the details of the kidnapping?"
Wei Ran frowned and thought for a while, then switched to German and whispered, "Tell Monica to let her Hela go dormant recently and not to be in the limelight. The same goes for the Hela and Succubus you are responsible for. I'm worried that someone is targeting us.
.”
"clear"
Anfiya nodded, then changed the topic and said, "The discs will be delivered the day after tomorrow. Do we want to temporarily suspend the plan to control Edward?"
"Let's stop it for now"
Wei Ran became more cautious, "Don't act rashly before October."
"Okay" Anfiya responded simply.
Time passed in the middle of the night. In the small living room on the second floor of the villa, Anfiya used a projector to play out the latest information that Charlotte had sent to Monica not long ago, and that Monica had sent to her.
"Mr. Charlotte's people found and controlled the two kidnappers who had communicated with the boss on the phone an hour ago."
Anfiya introduced while showing the intelligence displayed on the projector, "According to inquiries, it was first discovered by the IT technicians in this kidnapping gang when they were on duty over the winter that Matthew's parents had searched on the Internet for information about whether the Germans in World War II had
Keywords such as landing in Antarctica, German swords in World War II, and whether Germany had intensive bases in Antarctica during World War II."
After a pause, Anfiya switched to a page of information on the projector and continued, "This IT technician is good friends with the electrician who is also on duty during the winter. They took advantage of Matthew's parents to go out for scientific research activities together.
I entered their dormitory on the pretext of repairing electrical circuits, and then discovered the things in the photo."
Having said this, Anfiya enlarged the photo so that everyone present could see the details of the rank military ring in the photo.
"Fabian Schubert?"
Wei Ran whispered the German name engraved on the inner circle of the military ring, as well as a terrifying granting time, "December 25, 1933"!
These are the first batch of rank army rings!
Wei Ran stood up subconsciously. There was no need to doubt that the value of this ring was probably far greater than the sword that he had put in the safe!
"What's wrong?" Suisui, who was sitting next to Wei Ran, asked while sipping the milk tea made by Lola.
"It's nothing, Anfiya, go ahead."
Although Wei Ran said this, after he sat down, he immediately began to search for the name engraved on the ring.
Unfortunately, at least on the Internet, public information about Germany during World War II does not mention such a person. And the only person with the same name that can be found online is a football player from Austria.
"It just so happens that the electrician is a senior military fan."
Anfiya turned another page of the picture displayed on the projector and continued, "Like the boss, he recognized the specialness of that ring at a glance."
"So they stole the ring?" Kou Kou, who was also present to listen, answered quickly.
“Quite the opposite”
Anfiya shook her head, "They did not act rashly. Instead, they chose to keep an eye on Matthew's parents secretly, trying to find out where they found the ring."
"Didn't they find the sword at that time?" Aniya, who was also sipping milk tea, asked.
"not at all"
Anfiya shook her head again, "Until the end of the wintering duty, Matthew's parents had not found the location where they found the ring. They even suspected that it was just a replica until the electrician accidentally made a mistake on the transport ship leaving the Antarctic.
I saw that sword."
She changed the picture to the projector again, Anfiya pointed to the photo of the two people in the picture and said, "I believe you can guess what happened next. After discussion, the electrician continued to participate in the next wintering shift.
Look for clues.”
"Stop for a moment"
Wei Ran asked about the ring he still cared about, "Whose hand is that ring now?"
"In Mr. Charlotte's hands, it is a gift from Matthew."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anfiya said, "Choose one between the sword and the ring. Mr. Charlotte chose that ring."
Hearing this, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Anfiya again to continue.
Anfiya continued to introduce in a clear manner, "The IT technician did not sign up to continue working in Antarctica due to health reasons. He and the electrician's brother, who was the cook on the transport ship in Ushuaia from Antarctica to Argentina,
They planned this unsuccessful kidnapping together."
"What is their expected return?" Aniya asked the most obvious and crucial question.
"The electrician firmly believed that behind the ring and the sword was the secret German base in Antarctica during World War II."
Anfiya finally said, "They firmly believe that they can find various Nazi treasures including the Nazi clock and flying saucers in that secret base, and maybe they can also find Mustache's body."
This time, before the girl could finish her words, Wei Ran sneered, "What did you find? A Nachi clock and a flying saucer?"
"At least the IT technician is convinced of this," Anfiya said, spreading her hands.
"I've heard of the Nazine Bell," Tassie asked in confusion after listening to Anfisa's translation, "So is that thing really in Antarctica?"
"It's not a matter of whether it's in the Antarctic or the Arctic."
Wei Ran corrected helplessly, "The question is whether that thing really exists. It is as unrealistic as a fragile flying saucer."
"You mean there aren't any Nascent clocks?"
Taxi looked at Wei Ran in astonishment and said a classic line, "I don't believe it! Victor, don't lie to me!"
"It's not a question of whether you believe it or not."
Wei Ran became increasingly helpless, and he finally realized belatedly that these Europeans who claimed to live in a civilized world seemed to be unable to escape toilet literature and various conspiracy theories.
"So what exactly is a Nasdaq clock?" Monica asked blankly.
"A nuclear energy device that exists only in imagination"
Weiran simply explained, “It is a classic project of the German black technology conspiracy theory during World War II and a product of the public opinion war in the Cold War era.
Basically, it is on the same level as the statement that the mustache is not dead, the German moon base, the Bermuda Triangle of the United States, and even whether the Americans have landed on the moon."
"So there really isn't a nicotine clock?" Tassie said with disappointment but doubt in her tone, "I always thought that thing existed."
"If it really existed, I'm afraid everyone here would be reduced to second-class citizens in Germany." Weiran spread his hands and made a joke that is not funny to most Europeans.
"Okay, if there is no Nazi clock, then Germany's secret base in Antarctica should exist, right?" Tassie finally asked without giving up.
"Taxi, have you ever gone to school?" Aniya, who had just been listening to the excitement and helping to translate, couldn't help but ask.
"He only went to the second grade of middle school before he dropped out of school because of his increasingly severe mysophobia," Monica answered helpfully.
"You're not much better," Taxi retorted dissatisfiedly, "You just studied for two years and one month longer than me and then dropped out of school."
"No wonder..."
The rest of the people in the living room on the second floor sighed together in their hearts, and belatedly remembered that the mental state of these two people was more abnormal than the other.
In fact, let alone the two of them, even Kou Kou, a young rich woman, if Wei Ran had not gifted her with a fortune, her academic qualifications would not be much higher than those of Monica and Monica.
"I'm curious as to why the electrician and the IT technician also firmly believe that that clock exists."
Marta, who was also observing, said in a joking tone, "They can't have read much, right? Are the academic requirements for working in Antarctica so low?"
"The person Mr. Charlotte sent discussed the issue with the IT technician."
Anfiya sighed and said rather tiredly, "You must not believe it. Even among the people sent by Mr. Charlotte, there are a few idiots who strongly agree with the electrician's inference."
"Tell me about the electrician's reasoning!"
Suisui asked expectantly. This poor girl, who has an old and a young historian at home, usually has no chance to come into contact with those mysterious, conspiracy-filled but extremely cool unofficial histories.
——No matter her father, Professor Alexei or Wei Ran, they would always point to the legends that she read with gusto with great disappointment, and say ruthlessly but very firmly, "Fake, that's a lie."
You're a fool, don't believe it."
"Probably like this"
Anfiya cleared her throat, took a sip of the freshly squeezed mango juice brought by Lu Xinda, sat on the sofa and said, "According to what the IT technician reported, the electrician told him that Germany was defeated in World War II.
After that, why did a large number of high-level Nazis flee to Argentina? Parentheses, the high-level Nazis mentioned here refer to intellectuals and war criminals who deserve to be hanged."
After additional explanation, Anfiya continued, "From the electrician's point of view, they fled to Argentina just because Argentina is close enough to the Antarctic, only about 800 kilometers away.
So the reason for escaping to Argentina must be to go to Antarctica. With so many people going to Antarctica, there must be a secret base in Antarctica that is large enough to support their normal lives."
At this point, Anfiya herself laughed first, "The electrician said that the reason why he was willing to work in Antarctica was because he hoped that one day he would be lucky enough to find the secret base left by the German Nazis."
"He is an electrician with ideals." Before Kou Kou finished speaking, those who could understand French couldn't help laughing.
"The current situation is that although Mr. Charlotte captured the two robbers, he failed to capture the most critical electrician."
Anfiya took a big sip of mango juice and said, "The electrician is still on duty during the winter in Antarctica. Although he is unlikely to harm Matthew's parents, it is very likely that he will ruin Matthew's parents' work.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the biggest trouble now is that Matthew’s parents don’t know about the kidnapping yet, but the electrician already knows that their kidnapping plan failed.”
"He knew?" Aniya raised her eyebrows, "How did he know?"
Anfiya explained helplessly, "When Mr. Charlotte's people went to arrest them, the electrician happened to be on a video call with his brother, the chef."
"so..."
"Both sides are in a stalemate"
Anfiya drank the last sip of juice in the cup, "We kidnapped the electrician's brother and have evidence of his crime, but if the other party loses his mind, even if he won't hurt Matthew's parents, it will be easy enough."
Ruined their scientific projects and their work.
To put it more seriously, this matter may even affect the cooperation in polar scientific research projects between Italy and France."
"What are Mr. Charlotte's plans?"
Wei Ran asked, "These are Matthew's parents. Otherwise, if someone else has nothing to do with him, it will have an impact. Don't worry about him."
"Temporary reconciliation to buy time, or permanent reconciliation to share secrets."
Anfiya paused, "Mr. Charlotte is already on his way, boss. He hopes to talk to you face to face."
"And me?"
"The key to reconciliation between the two parties lies in your hands."
Anfiya explained straightforwardly, "No matter that sword or the secret that may be hidden behind that sword."
"When will he arrive?" Wei Ran asked, putting down his tea cup.
"Tomorrow morning" Anfiya said, leaving only a few hours for the meeting.
"Then early tomorrow morning"
After thinking for a while, Wei Ran asked in French, "Is there still a chance to go to Antarctica now?"
"The last winter supply ended about ten days ago."
Monica answered Weiyan's question, "The next time a ship or plane lands in Antarctica will have to wait until at least five months."
"What we want to fight for Matthew's parents from the electrician is these five months."
Anfiya explained, "If necessary, the location where the sword was found can be disclosed to the electrician. But Mr. Charlotte hopes that before that, we can make sure that there are no big secrets on the body, so as to prevent the electrician from being
Greed kills people and silences them.”
"Can he still run away?" Suisui asked puzzledly.
"There's no point even if I can't run away."
Wei Ran explained helpfully, "What if he gets carried away by the treasure and really hurts Matthew's parents."
"Right..."
Suisui frowned when she heard this, obviously she couldn't think of any other better way for a while.
"In this case, the solution is to wait until Mr. Charlotte comes over tomorrow and I will discuss a result with him."
Wei Ran switched to his native language and said with relief, "I guess he must have found a solution. Suisui, your task is to start tomorrow, take Matthew, Monica and Taxi to have fun for a few days and forget what happened before.
unhappy."
"Leave it to me!" Suisui clenched her fists and promised. She also knew that this was the only help she could do at the moment.
After the "intelligence sharing" was over, Kou Kou and others, who needed to catch up on jet lag, went back to their rooms to rest early. Aniya, who originally thought she could only live in the same room as the wizard's wife, also got a room next to her.
The bedroom of the Katenka sisters' room.
"Did the Germans really not build any secret base in Antarctica?" Back in the bedroom, Suisui couldn't help but ask again.
"It's basically impossible. What the electrician is looking for is the legendary military base code-named 211."
"211 base?"
Suisui asked subconsciously as she put on her nightgown, "Is there another 985 base?"
"No, there is also a double first-class base."
Wei Ran, who was also changing into pajamas, joked, "It would be realistic if we just built a scientific research station and built a few wooden houses.
But if it is really the 211 base that is rumored to be both a flying saucer and a Nazi bell, then it is possible that Mustache really stopped fighting World War II and spent all his resources on shipbuilding, cement and steel bars for transportation."
"So have the Germans been to Antarctica?" Suisui's curiosity was aroused and she allowed Wei Ran to carry her to the bed, but she still did not forget to ask.
"Been there"
Wei Ran spoke eloquently about the orthodox and realistic historical records, “I went there at the beginning of 1939, stayed there for only a month, and then withdrew after occupying the Norwegian whaling station on Queen Maud Land.
At that time, they did plan to build a base in Antarctica, but it was not to hide flying saucers and Nazi bells. It was originally for whaling and refining oil."
I don't know what he thought of, but Wei Ran's tone became more sarcastic, "Part of the reason why Germany chose to attack the Soviet Union at that time was also to satisfy the domestic people's tight supply of edible oil.
Mustache did later plan to build a naval submarine base in Antarctica, but he was just talking and bragging.
As for those Germans, they can't even withstand the winter in the Soviet Union. How do you expect them to have fun in Antarctica?
Especially when they blitzed Poland and were busy opening the Eastern Front dungeon, they couldn't spare any more energy, so naturally the matter was dropped.
Later, under the pretext that Mustache planned to build a base in Antarctica, the British launched Operation Tabarin, which was nominally to strengthen maritime patrols, but in reality went to the Antarctic to enclose land."
"So that sword was left by the group of people who went there in 1939?" Suisui asked curiously as she got on her horse.
"Most likely"
Wei Ran smiled and said, "Maybe they are just the people left behind at the whaling station. Do we really want to talk about this at this time?"
"of course yes..."
Before Suisui finished speaking, the nightgown she had just put on was torn apart and thrown to the bedside. Naturally, the topic of Antarctica came to an end for the time being.
At the same time, in a hotel far away in Monaco, two American elites had just divided Bitcoin worth 100,000 euros.
But inside a container truck parked at a crossroads outside Pisa, Italy, the British man named Matt, who often followed Mr. Charlotte, still did not give up on interrogating the two kidnappers he had captured.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is there anything else you haven't explained?"
As Matt spoke, he pulled off the wet towel covering one of the men's faces, "My boss offered a reward of 150,000 euros to find you two bedbugs hiding in the gutter, so
Until the information you provide equals our expenses, I can't rest, and you can't rest either."
"me..."
The IT technician, who had been tortured for several hours and could no longer remember how many times he had been told the truth repeatedly, gasped violently and begged almost to the point of collapse, "I am willing to repay 150,000 euros! Let me go...
.Please, let me go, I'm going to die, I..."
"That's not what I wanted to hear."
Before Matt finished speaking, he had already covered his face with the soaked towel in his hand again, and after turning on the faucet at the bottom of the bucket directly above, he calmly lit a cigar.
Then the soaked towel on the other person's face was lifted, "What about you? Mr. Chef? What do you have to say?"
It was still at this time, far away in the Antarctic at the end of the world, at a certain scientific research station, an electrician on duty was restlessly pacing back and forth in his dormitory, thinking about the next countermeasures.
Obviously, no matter which of the parties just mentioned, this is destined to be an extra special night.
Finally, when the sun selectively rose in the above places, Weiran was finally willing to leave Wenrou Township. When the first ray of morning sun shone into the yard, he drove alone towards the airport.
Without letting him wait long, Mr. Charlotte, who had not seen him for a while, walked out of the airport alone.
"Long time no see, Mr. Charlotte." Wei Ran smiled and greeted the British millionaire in Italian.
"If I remember correctly, we haven't seen each other for a long time since we last shot a movie in the desert of Egypt."
Charlotte shook hands with Wei Ran, "Where should we go to talk?"
"Come with me and take you to a good place."
Wei Ran took the other person's luggage as he spoke, took him out of the airport reception hall, and got into the armored pickup truck parked outside.
"Victor, regarding Matthew being..."
"Mr. Charlotte"
Wei Ran started the car and said, "Don't worry about that now. Anyway, the person was rescued and the kidnapper was caught, right? It's not easy for you to come to Russia. How about I take you to experience something different first?"
"Vodka?" Charlotte asked casually.
"Of course, of course there will be vodka."
Wei Ran stepped on the accelerator as he spoke, "But before that, let's find a place to take a sauna. That is the best way to wash away fatigue. In our Chinese saying, this is called 'receiving the wind and washing away the dust'."
"Then it's up to you."
Although Charlotte didn't understand the idioms in the words just now, she expressed her full trust in him.
"We'll be there soon. Before then, you can sleep in the car for a while."
“That would be great”
Charlotte nodded easily, then lowered the back of the seat, and soon started to snore.
A smart little old British man...
Wei Ran muttered secretly, and drove the car back to the city in a leisurely manner, then passed through the city, and finally drove the car to Jima's village.
But this time, he didn't take Charlotte to Ji Ma's house. Instead, he stopped at a house about four to five hundred meters away from the village. It was built just a few years ago and was used by the little gangsters to organize group steamings.
The sauna holds the annual meeting and team building in front of the wood-carved house.
