"What is this place?" Charlotte asked curiously as she got out of the car.
“My friend’s vacation home”
Wei Ran smiled and explained that this wooden-carved house was indeed a holiday villa, a holiday villa specially built by Greva and his brothers for saunas and business talks.
Of course, it can also be called the public bathhouse of their gang.
"No need to take your luggage, we are not staying here tonight, come with me." Wei Ran greeted Charlotte as she walked into this exceptionally beautiful wood-carved house.
"Mr. Victor, the bathroom is ready for you."
As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful hairy girl wearing a traditional Cossack dress said gently, "Please come with me, I will take you to change clothes."
"Excuse me, is there anyone else coming today?"
Wei Ran asked politely. He vaguely remembered that this girl seemed to be one of the group of people who were sent to China by Suisui a few years ago to be trained in rubbing baths and knocking on the back.
Although I don’t know why she appeared here instead of Inta’s camp, and I don’t know how much she has learned about the bathing culture, at least the interior of this wooden house is decorated like that. Those who lined up in the hall
The girls on both sides also shouted their welcome words enthusiastically and neatly.
"No"
The girl leading the way smiled and replied, "There are no appointments today, just you and this gentleman."
"Russians really enjoy..."
Charlotte, who came from the cold and humid Loch Ness, muttered that although he was a rich man and had even used a sauna, how had he ever seen this?
Not to mention anything else, the young and beautiful girls who lined up on both sides of the hall and bowed slightly to welcome him were eye-catching enough, especially the welcome words they shouted in unison. Although he could not understand,
But I can feel that I have been treated as a distinguished guest by them.
In a daze, he followed Wei Ran into a warm and comfortable changing room, and took off all his clothes and accessories, as well as everything that couldn't be brought into the steam room.
When he came out again, he was wearing only a pair of disposable underwear, a soft and thick bathrobe, a cotton hat to protect his hair and a new pair of cotton and linen slippers.
Still led by the beautiful girl, the two walked into a sauna room that seemed to be built with logs.
"Wear your hat"
Before Wei Ran, who had already taken off his bathrobe, entered the sauna, he kindly reminded him while the pretty girl was bringing fruit plates and drinks inside, "The maximum temperature here can reach 80 degrees. If you don't wear a hat, your hair will be damaged."
of."
"Thank you, that's really an exaggeration."
Charlotte, who had also taken off her bathrobe, quickly put on a hat to protect his not-so-thick hair.
After entering the sauna room and sitting down, Wei Ran casually scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it on the hot stones. With a sizzling sound, the rich steam immediately enveloped the two of them completely, and the temperature in the sauna room also suddenly increased.
rise.
"Okay, Mr. Charlotte, we can talk without any worries now."
As he spoke, Wei Ran picked up a jackfruit from the fruit plate he had just brought in and threw it into his mouth, "It's safe enough here, no one will eavesdrop, and there won't be any electronic devices that can withstand the water vapor here.
"
"What a great place to chat, Victor. You are more cautious than I thought."
"Thank you for the compliment"
Wei Ran smiled and said, "The owner of this sauna is a gang boss and Jim Ma's good brother. I'm just borrowing it."
"This is the first time I've heard of a historian hanging out with gangs."
While teasing Wei Ran, Charlotte reached out and picked up a cut watermelon and took a big bite. Then she said vaguely, "Victor, we'll talk about gangs later. Let's get down to business, kidnapping."
Matthew, this matter is far more troublesome than you expect."
"How do you say that?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Matthew's parents found much more than a ring and a sword on that body."
"Oh? What else?" Wei Ran asked with interest. He knew that Charlotte had come to meet him in person, and there must be other hidden secrets in this.
"There is still half a broken map"
Charlotte lowered her voice and said in the dissipating steam, "That map only has one place name marked on it."
"What place name?"
"Warehouse" Charlotte said with suppressed excitement.
"Mr. Charlotte"
Wei Ran looked at him strangely, "You don't believe the nonsense about the Germans building a secret base in Antarctica, do you?"
"Building a secret base in Antarctica?"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "That's just a stupid rumor fabricated by a journalist who was famous for writing conspiracy theories in the 1960s.
At my age, even belief in God has become dispensable, so how can I believe in such outdated nonsense?”
"Since you don't believe it either, then why are you excited?"
Wei Ran asked happily, and at the same time he could not help but feel relieved in his heart. He didn't want this little old man to be so "cute" like Taxi.
"The word warehouse is enough to make people excited."
Charlotte threw away the watermelon rind in her hand and repeated emphatically, "No matter what is stored in the warehouse, even a pair of underwear with a swastika printed on it is enough to cause a sensation."
Before Wei Ran could speak, Charlotte continued, "That will be a big news that attracts global attention, far greater than the big news that you found the photo of the red flag.
Maybe with the promotion of thoughtful people, stupid conspiracy theories such as the Nazi Antarctic base will be brought out again. With the help of Internet technology that did not exist in the 1960s, it will be spread to everyone and even beyond recognition.
However, this big news will be a huge disaster for Antarctica and Matthew's family."
"Chila"
As another ladle of water was poured on the hot rocks, Wei Ran said in the steaming water vapor, "So we must find the warehouse in advance and destroy all possibilities of the body found by Matthew's parents and the warehouse.
Traces of connection?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's almost it"
Charlotte took a deep breath and said, "Victor, this time you not only need to investigate the historical mystery behind the corpse, but you also need to conceal the relevant history to ensure that no one will discover it."
"What are you going to do with that electrician?" Wei Ran picked up the bath broom and asked while gently slapping his back.
"Share with him the secret of the ring and the sword, and tell him the location of the body."
Charlotte said with a smile, "Then I will buy the body from him, and also appoint him to help me investigate the location of the Nazi base hidden in Antarctica.
Time and time again, until a few years later, when everyone has forgotten him, when he himself has forgotten the recent unpleasant kidnapping incident, he will unfortunately fall into a crevice during an Antarctic expedition and end up...
While waiting for rescue, he died of pulmonary edema, fractures and hypothermia due to inhaling too much cold air."
"Where are his companions?" Wei Ran asked casually.
"That IT technician would quit his job soon, travel to Africa, and die from a wild animal attack.
The other one is still the companion of the electrician, and the chef will fall into the ice crevice and die together while rescuing his brother. Their bodies will remain in Antarctica forever to accompany the ridiculous Nataki base."
"Mr. Charlotte is truly an efficacious prophet"
When Wei Ran said this, he pretended to be hesitant and asked, "What about me? I will be there too..."
"No, no, no, Victor, what are you thinking about?"
Charlotte quickly waved the bayberry in her hand, "It seems I scared you, but don't worry, Victor, the cost of causing an accident to a celebrity like you is very high.
Believe it or not, I won't ask for trouble. It's not cost-effective for me. And you are my best friend like Matthew. This is the treasure my father left me, so I will do whatever it takes.
Come to protect this friendship."
"I am deeply honored to have your friendship"
Wei Ran finished speaking with a grateful look on his face, and asked pretending to be curious, "It seems that Mr. Charlotte is very experienced in helping people with accidents?"
Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have asked a question that I shouldn't have asked, why don't we talk about the specific plan."
"There's nothing you shouldn't ask. The world is full of surprises, isn't it?"
Charlotte waved her hands nonchalantly, but did not continue the topic. She just said, "Next, I will come forward in the name of a parent to talk to the electrician in a subtle way to stabilize him first. This is the current plan.
.
As for the next step, it depends on what you can investigate. If necessary, we can even go to Antarctica before the polar night completely falls."
"Can we still go?"
"Except for the inability to turn back time and resurrect lost lives, there is nothing in this world that money cannot solve."
As Charlotte spoke, she also picked up the bath broom prepared for him, and imitated Wei Ran while gently slapping her whole body and said, "If it can't be solved, most of the time it's because there's not enough money."
"It's such a straightforward yet shocking truth," Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh.
"Going to Antarctica this season does cost a lot of money and takes a lot of risks."
Charlotte said seriously, "Besides, before daylight appears in Antarctica, the longer you delay, the higher the cost. So Victor, the task of investigating the historical truth is left to you. The sooner the better this time."
If we really need to go to Antarctica, it is best for our people to set foot on the Antarctic continent before June and return before mid-June.
If things are delayed until late June, there may be many accidents, and the cost of landing in Antarctica will also increase exponentially."
"Last questions"
Wei Ran also picked up a bayberry and threw it into his mouth. While sucking the sweet and sour juice, he asked, "Does the electrician know about the map? Also, did you bring the ring? Finally, Matthew's parents
What else did you bring back?"
"He doesn't know about the map yet, but this matter can be confirmed."
Charlotte explained, "After the couple got the map until it was handed over to me, they kept it close to each other and never left their sight again."
"This is probably one of the few pieces of good news," Wei Ran sighed.
“This is indeed one of the few pieces of good news.”
Charlotte continued to answer the questions Wei Ran had just asked, "I brought that ring, it's in my briefcase.
Regarding the last question, Matthew's parents not only brought back the incomplete map, ring and sword, but also brought back several photos they took of the corpse and a watch.
The trouble is, one of the photos of the body that was supposed to be deleted has been obtained by an electrician, an IT technician who hacked into Matthew's mother's computer and found it in the recycle bin."
"So we can't just steal the body or kill the electrician in Antarctica?"
Looking at Wei Ran in surprise, Charlotte shook her head, "That photo captured the complete appearance of the body, so it's probably not realistic to take it away directly.
As for killing the electrician, there is no technical difficulty. But if a murder occurs in Antarctica, whether it is a scientist or an electrician who dies, it will attract the attention of all countries. By then, whether it is the person who did it or the mastermind and helper behind it, I am afraid
Defined as kombucha tissue."
"What about taking away Matthew's parents directly?" Wei Ran asked the question that already had an answer without giving up.
“It doesn’t make any sense”
Charlotte shook her head, "What we have to do is to shut up the electrician before leaving the Antarctic. It is best to reach a temporary reconciliation with him. But the premise of all this is that there is nothing on the body that can make the electrician
It’s a secret that makes an electrician go crazy or even silence himself.”
"Okay, where is the watch?" Wei Ran asked in a different direction, "Where are the other photos?"
"The photo is also in my briefcase, and the watch is a gift for Tassie," Charlotte spread her hands, "You have to ask him."
"He has never mentioned this to me," Wei Ran said helplessly.
"This was a gift a few months ago."
As Charlotte spoke, she threw the small birch broom in her hand aside, "No, I can already taste the metal in my mouth. If I stay here any longer, I will have a heat stroke."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to get up and open the wooden door of the sauna room.
While the other party was gasping for air outside, Wei Ran slowly scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it down, and then thought about some potential problems here.
