Late at night, in the Inta Police Station, in a room similar to a detention room, Wei Ran was sitting on one side of the table, more comfortable than at home, holding a fork with a large piece of beef in one hand, and the fingertips of the other hand.
Holding a half-burnt flower in his hand, he looked at Liu Hanzai sitting across the table with a smile.
Compared to Wei Ran, who took a sip of cigarettes, meat, and a sip of wine, Liu Hanzai had no appetite. All his attention was focused on the photo of mother and son displayed on the cell phone Wei Ran handed him.
"Where are they?"
After a long time, Liu Hanzai returned the phone to Wei Ran, looked directly at him and asked in Russian.
“local hospital”
Wei Ran stuffed the piece of meat on his fork into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it carefully, and then continued, "Maybe early tomorrow morning, they will fly to Kazan on our transport plane, and then your son will be sent
The best local hospital in Kazan for further treatment.”
Watching Liu Hanzai open his mouth to say something, Wei Ran continued without pausing, "Maybe by the time you see him next time, he will have completed the pacemaker implantation surgery."
"Why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai asked with a frown.
"How about chatting while eating?" Wei Ran pointed to the food on the table.
Hearing this, Liu Hanzai reached out and picked up a piece of bread and took a big bite. Then he picked up the fork, poked a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
At the same time, Wei Ran was also smoking a cigarette, putting down his fork and helping him pour a full enamel jar of cold beer.
"Thanks"
Liu Hanzai thanked him vaguely, picked up the enamel jar, and drank most of it in one breath.
After refilling the other party's glass of cold beer, Wei Yan put down the bottle and took a slow drag on his cigarette before answering the other party's question, "I'm just helping you because I'm curious and want to hear your story. For example, you
Are you taking it off..."
"No, I am not."
Liu Hanzai immediately denied it before Wei Ran finished speaking, but soon he picked up the enamel jar again and took a big sip, and then replied gloomily, "I...I am."
"For your son Siguang?" Wei Ran asked, pushing the cigarette case and lighter to the other party.
"right"
Liu Hanzai nodded, tremblingly took out a flower and lit it, "He has congenital heart disease. The doctor at the Children's Hospital said he needs a pacemaker to survive, but the hospital does not have a pacemaker at all, and we
There’s not that much money either.”
"So you run..."
“I came to Russia to work through formal channels four years ago.”
Ryu Hanjae seemed to be afraid that Wei Ran would misunderstand this matter, and explained continuously, "I have worked as a lumberjack in a logging camp, a welder in a mine, or guarding equipment in the winter. As long as I can make money, I am willing to do any job."
Do."
"Still haven't saved enough money?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"It's too late"
Liu Hanzai lowered his proud head with difficulty, "Before I came out to work, the doctor said that Siguang needs to have a pacemaker implanted as soon as possible, otherwise he may not live to be 13 years old."
"so..."
"So before we set off, my wife and I made plans."
It may have been too long since Liu Hanzai had talked to anyone, or it may have been too long since he had a chance to talk about his worries, so he just drank the cold beer in the cup in one go, without even waiting for Wei Ran, who was pouring the wine for him, to ask questions.
He took the initiative and continued, "We agreed that in the third winter when I went out to work, she would sneak our son and daughter to Russia."
"How did they get here..."
Halfway through his words, Wei Ran smiled apologetically under the other person's alert gaze, "Sorry, I seem to have asked a question that I shouldn't have asked."
After staring at Wei Ran seriously for half a minute, Liu Hanzai's eyes finally softened again. He took a hard bite of the bread, chewed it, and continued vaguely, "In that year
Before the winter, I worked hard to learn the commonly used Russian language, and used some money saved from my previous job to exchange for a job of going to the mine to guard the equipment over the winter with another person who was preparing to escape.
I couldn't see a third person in that job all winter, so I took advantage of that opportunity to pick up my wife and children, and then took them from... and fled with them to Yebao."
"Yebao is not that close to here," Wei Ran said tactfully, fearing that his curiosity would arouse the other party's vigilance again.
"yes"
Liu Hanzai sighed, "Originally, according to my plan, my wife and I only needed to find a few jobs each. In about a year, we might be able to save enough money to operate on Siguang, but we really can't.
You should go work in one of those restaurants with fat guys.”
"Did they call the police?" Wei Ran asked almost confidently.
"Salaries are paid every three months"
Ryu Hanjae explained with a wry smile, "They called the police on the weekend of the last week of the third month. In order not to be caught by the police, I took my wife and children with a Mongolian who also smuggled in and a
Together, Wu Ke and other people climbed onto a freight train that was bound for who-knows-where overnight.”
At this point, Liu Hanzai picked up the enamel pole again and took a deep breath, "When we got off the car again, we were already at the freight station of Pechora Coal Mine."
"How did you come up with the idea of digging for mammoth ivory?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"We originally found a good job in the coal mine canteen. Although it was hard work, we were able to get paid every week. The most important thing is that no one cared whether we had ID documents."
Liu Hanzai said regretfully, "We worked there for a long time, and then a miner who had become friends with us said that there are many Chinese tourists in Inta further north, and they like to buy mammoth ivory products. It happened to be
, our Mongolian companion has good carving skills.
So we took the freight train to Inta at the beginning of the summer and followed our miner friends to dig for mammoth ivory.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How is this business?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"not so good"
Ryu Hanjae shook his head, "Not only do we have to avoid patrols and planes flying in the sky, but we also have no way to bring excavation equipment into Inta.
We didn't know this when we came here for the first time. We were reported by the front desk of the hotel just after we checked in, which cost us the water pump and generator we had bought together. Our miner friend was also arrested for assaulting the police.
He has not been released from prison yet."
Hearing this, Wei Ran took a sip of the butt of his cigarette that was about to burn out and tried hard to suppress the smile in his heart. This method of "joint prevention, joint control, group prevention and group treatment" was still the clever trick that Suisui had advocated back then.
It’s just that nowadays there are too many people who can’t stand it and want to make money. This method that worked well in the past is not so effective now.
"We are not willing to give in"
Liu Hanzai poked up a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to eat while saying, "The friend who came with us, he managed to get another set of water pumps and generators.
A van was stolen from somewhere.
This time we did not enter Inta again, but searched along the river in the forest on the outskirts. Moreover, we are not easy to light bonfires in the open air, which allowed us to successfully evade the patrols several times.
Because we went to a relatively far place and the harvest was pretty good, our Wu Kelan companion used the ivory he dug to get a lot of money and supplies."
Having said this, Liu Hanzai clenched his fists angrily, "But he also attracted the attention of others and led a group of poachers to our camp. I have warned him to be careful."
"so..."
"Those people killed my Mongolian companions and Ukolan companions"
Liu Hanzai gritted his teeth and said, "They also wanted to capture my wife and my daughter Huanxi. It was the ugly bastard who said it in order to survive before he was killed. Originally, those people didn't even know that my wife and my daughter Huanxi
The children are also nearby."
"you..."
"I was worried about being caught again, so I asked my wife and children to hide further away."
Liu Hanzai shook his head, "I escaped while the poachers were counting our harvest, but they had no intention of letting me and my family go."
"You don't plan to let them go, right?" Wei Ran said casually.
"I want to get my money back, which is money for my son's surgery."
Liu Hanzai replied seriously, "There is also a defibrillator that is being charged. I saved up money for that second-hand device for a long time to buy it. Without it, my son's life may be in danger at any time."
"What did you do before?" Weiran suddenly asked a new question, "I mean, before you came to work in Russia."
Seeing that the other party was wary again, Wei Ran did not tolerate him this time. Instead, he lit a cigarette again, relaxed his body and said, "I can help you, or not. I can help your son pay for the surgery, or I can help you."
You don’t have to pay.”
"Why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai once again asked the question he asked at the beginning.
"It doesn't cost me anything to help you."
Wei Ran replied in a puff of smoke, "I can even give you a completely legal Russian identity. With a legal identity, the harm you caused to those poachers can be regarded as legal self-defense."
Of course, I can also give your wife and children legal status, just like I just mentioned, I can help pay for your son’s surgery, which is nothing to me.”
"So why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai asked again like a stubborn person.
"It pleases you"
Wei Ran responded with an indifferent expression, "It's natural to be fake if you like the other person. The appearance of this man who looks to be forty years old is absolutely incompatible with adjectives such as handsome, not to mention that he is not good at this."
The reason is simply that he doesn't want to make things worse.
But don't forget, in more than two months, Gorman will stage a crash near here.
At this critical juncture, having such a special identity "Cheng Yaojin" appear here, and handling it through official channels is simply adding to the chaos.
According to the formal method, it is just to decide how to judge, how to repatriate how to repatriate, and then it will be on the news without any accident.
But what then?
Let everyone know that not far from the Ural Mountains, there is a small city called Inta. In this city, a felon as rare as a giant panda recently appeared?
If nothing else, the nationality of Ryu Hanjae is enough to arouse the interest of Americans.
Just in case those idiots are short of time and check along this line, they will inevitably notice Wei Ran.
This consequence is nothing more than increasing suspicion for the plane crash two months later. After all, in such a place where even a bird has to tighten its anus for fear of being frozen when pooping, two incidents involving "foreigners" occurred one after another, causing injuries and even injuries. The probability of a murder incident is really too high, and it's uncertain how many people's attention it will attract.
Of course, whether it is a poacher or a digger like Liu Hanzai, it is not impossible to deal with it in an unconventional way.
But this is different from finding Misha to buy a completely real identity. This is Inta Queen Aurora's business. Just like Wei Ran must always protect his historian, he must also protect Suisui's "legal status". The glorious image of "Businessman".
In other words, when it comes to Suisui, unless you have no choice, you should try not to do anything to give others a leg up. This is also about Wei Ran's own future retreat.
What's more, as he just said to Liu Hanzai, for him, a cautious historian, to give the other family a new identity, help pay for the child's medical expenses, and even hire several heavyweight lawyers for them A plea of not guilty, all of which does not cost much.
And he believes that for Misha, for Misha’s father, the police chief, and for all Inta people who are doing tourist business, it would undoubtedly be best if this kind of negative incident could be reduced from a big deal to a trivial matter. .
"Before I came to work in Russia, I was an active soldier." Across the table, Ryu Hanjae finally gave the answer.
"No wonder"
"What's the wonder?"
"No wonder you can fight back"
"Just a few bandits"
Liu Hanzai's tone was full of disdain and absolute confidence in his own strength.
"I can help you, but we have to exchange some trust." Wei Ran hinted bluntly.
Still looking at Wei Ran with his straight eyes for a long time, Liu Hanzai poured a large pot of beer on his own, "If you really give my family a new identity, and really help my son pay for the surgery,
Expenses, when the time comes..."
"Your secret is not worth so much reward"
Wei Ran also picked up the enamel jar and touched it for the first time, "Now, I mean now, I need you to exchange some trust with me, otherwise how can I help you?"
"Before coming here, I was a border guard responsible for..."
"Do you think I believe it?"
Wei Ran also looked directly at the other person and asked, "Or do you think I must help you? Comrade Liu Hanzai, please cherish the opportunity in front of you and my kindness and sympathy that only last for three minutes."
Hearing this, Liu Hanzai subconsciously clenched the fork in his hand.
"You'd better tell me something interesting enough to arouse my curiosity before my patience runs out."
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already put out his cigarette butt and stood up, "When I feel bored and no longer intend to help you, your secrets will be worthless."
Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped towards the locked door and unlocked it without any hesitation.
Just as he turned the door handle and opened the door, Liu Hanzai behind him let go of the fork in his hand, closed his eyes and replied, "The 11th Army Corps, I come from the 11th Army Corps. Before I retired, I was...
.He is a monitor."
"This barely makes sense..."
Wei Ran, who had his back to Liu Hanzai, smiled silently and turned to look at him, "What are your plans after your son gets a pacemaker?"
"What...what plan..."
Liu Hanzai was at a loss. He had never thought about this topic. In his wish list, installing a useful pacemaker for his son was already the ultimate dream.
"All right"
Wei Ran obviously noticed the other party's confusion, and attracted the other party's attention with a crisp finger snap, "Let's ask this question in another way, you now have three choices."
"What choice?" Liu Hanzai couldn't help but stood up and looked at Wei Ran.
"The first option is to deal with all the troubles in front of you by yourself."
Wei Ran leaned against the door frame and said, "Just pretend we have never met, I will neither help you nor harm you.
Accordingly, your wife and children, including your current situation of being trapped in the police station, as well as the bills issued by the local hospital tomorrow morning and all subsequent troubles, all need to be dealt with by your family.
Of course, if you choose this option, after I leave, you can run away or kill the police, or be shot to death by the police, all of which have nothing to do with me."
"What other options are there?" Liu Hanzai asked with a pale face.
"Second choice"
Wei Ran gestured, "Just accept the police's arrangements here and don't cause trouble to the police, but don't reveal the content of our conversation just now.
Accordingly, I will help pay your child's medical bills in Inta and ensure that they can leave Inta safely. I can even introduce her to a job in Inta where she will not be deported for the time being.
After you are released from prison, you and your wife will figure out how to solve your identity problem, work on your own to save money, and install a pacemaker on your child."
"What's the third option?"
"Still stay here honestly and keep our conversation secret. It's best not to say a word."
Wei Ran smiled and said, "Let me take care of the rest, including your family's identity, including installing a pacemaker on your son. Of course, all this comes at a price."
"What price?" Liu Hanzai asked, clenching his fists and forcing himself to calm down.
"It's a fair exchange"
Wei Ran spread his hands and said, "You have to pay the price yourself. I don't like to force anyone. If I can accept the price you offer, then the deal is done. If I don't like the price you offer, then the deal will be void."
I don’t like to take advantage of others, so the choice is yours. But I also want to remind you that a deal can only be reached if it is as fair as possible. And adults should be responsible for their own decisions.”
Having said this, Wei Ran shook the handcuff key and said, "Anyway, lock yourself up symbolically and think about it carefully. I will bring you breakfast tomorrow and ask you about your decision."
After saying that, he didn't wait for any response from Liu Hanzai, so he simply closed the door, walked a few steps outside, and returned the key to the policeman who was still waiting for him at the corner of the stairs with his gun in hand.
“Thank you for the late night snack”
Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, "Tomorrow you will receive a box of sugar apples. This is just a small gift from a friend. Please don't refuse."
"Thank you, Mr. Victor, I really like that beautiful and delicious fruit." The policeman responded with a smile as he took the handcuff key.
"See you tomorrow, friend."
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Victor."
Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder again, left the police station alone, got into the exaggerated off-road vehicle, drove out of the police station in a familiar manner, and drove towards the hotel where he was staying.
When he followed the message Suisui sent more than half an hour ago and went upstairs to find the corresponding room, he found that not only Suisui was in the room, but Misha was also there.
"Send a box of sugar apples to the policeman tomorrow," Wei Ran said as he closed the door.
"no problem"
Misha agreed happily, and then she and Suisui looked at Wei Ran, obviously waiting for his explanation.
Seeing this, Wei Ran sat down and explained the experience of Liu Hanzai's family and the three options he left to the other party, as well as the reason why he decided to help Liu Hanzai, only hiding Liu Hanzai's coming to Russia.
The previous "career", and the upcoming plane crash two months later.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is indeed the best way"
Misha was the first to express her opinion, "Tomorrow I will solve the identity problem for their family. This will make this matter much simpler."
"He also needs a good lawyer," Suisui reminded. "It's best if this matter can be made smaller."
"certainly"
Misha nodded confidently. After Weiran helped them solve the biggest problem, the rest were just minor troubles.
"By the way, what's going on with mother and son now?" Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.
"The child is under observation in the hospital, and Anfisa is with him in the hospital. There should be no big problem."
Suisui, who had satisfied her curiosity, yawned and replied, "His mother and sister are in the next room, and Misha just brought them clean clothes that fit."
"Send him off tomorrow?" Wei Ran asked again.
"Send it away"
Suisui rubbed her eyes, "I thought about sending them away at the time, which is similar to your concerns. After all, we are here to solve the problem of illegal excavation. Their staying here is simply putting eye drops on all of us. If we don't solve their problems,
, everyone is embarrassed.”
"A large part of the trouble has been solved"
Misha stood up and said, "You guys should go to bed early and I will take care of the rest."
"How are the poachers doing?" Wei Ran stood up and asked.
"Unfortunately, but also fortunately, they all survived."
Misha responded as she walked out, "Including the most seriously injured one survived."
"I hope they can learn a lesson," Wei Ran hinted pointedly.
"I guess they will learn a lesson." Misha smiled, "Good night, Victor, good night, Aurora."
"Good night"
After Suisui finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawned again. Without waiting for Wei Ran to close the door, she hung directly on his body and allowed the latter to carry her to the bed.
