In the last few days of November, in order to go to Petersburg with Sui Xin and Chen Luoxiang, Suisui put all her energy into work every day, and also made the Hela girls who worked for her work every day.
With my busy feet hitting the back of my head, there is no free time.
As for a certain historian, he resumed his usual regular schedule after sleeping for two days.
Even in order not to be attracted, and not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, he would still take some time every day to investigate the things sent by Nineel.
Unfortunately, there was only so much information about that crew member, no matter what information he could find on the surface, or through rummaging through some undisclosed files through cheap tutor Kajik.
The only clear record he found was the approximate whereabouts of the crew members' families.
To put it simply, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the family members of the members of this armed helicopter are basically no longer in Russia.
The co-pilot, or the wife of mechanic Ruslan Petrov, returned to Minsk, Belarus, with their only daughter, and immigrated to the United States not long afterward - this was the information obtained by Niner.
The pilot was from Yeburg. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, his wife remarried and there was no news. His son joined the army a few years later and was eventually killed in Grozny, which Weiran had entered by mistake.
Ironically, the weapons system officer, or gunner, of this helicopter is from Chechnya, from Grozny.
His family, or his wife, in the non-public information that Kajik helped search, was labeled with a word that makes most Russians nervous - "black widow".
Apparently, his wife had died, in a particularly tragic way.
Compared to these two, the information about the military doctor in the group photo is particularly vague. He was from Moscow, graduated from the First Moscow State Medical College, joined the army in 1986, and disappeared in frontline combat in 1988. That’s all. There are even
There is no relevant record of his parents.
Seeing that the investigation on the surface was at a deadlock, and the time had come to the last day of the month, Wei Ran decisively put all these troubles behind him, and took Beria with him, followed Suisui and others.
People boarded a fruit transport plane bound for Petersburg.
"We have a week off this time!"
In the transport plane filled with the rich aroma of fruit, Suisui put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "No one is allowed to talk about work during this week! Whoever agrees and who disagrees!"
"Agree!" Many girls accompanying him cheered in unison.
"Set off!"
Suisui waved her hand and issued an order into the communication headset, and was then dragged by Wei Ran to sit down and fasten her seat belt, while chatting with the little sisters around her, waiting for the transport plane to take off.
More than half an hour passed after Suisui issued the departure order, and the transport plane finally began to taxi, and finally took off smoothly and flew to the direction of Petersburg.
"What are your plans for this trip?"
After the plane stabilized, Weiran asked through the communication headset.
"When we arrive today, we will first go to the Shostakovich House bought by Olga and Olena's father."
Suisui covered the microphone of the communication headset and said, "The place has been completely renovated this summer and has begun to receive tourists. Let's go over and have a look, and then go to Aunt Dalia's exhibition hall as a guest. Then Sui Xin
Chen Luoxiang and Olga will hold a small concert there."
"Then what?" Wei Ran asked as if he had lost his mind. In fact, he was just worried that he would be assigned some temporary tasks.
"Then Olga's father took us hunting in the forest," Suisui said enthusiastically. "If the weather is good, he might even take us ice fishing and camping."
"Are you really going for fun and not for an inspection project?" Wei Ran asked suspiciously.
"Of course not! It doesn't happen! Where are you thinking!" Suisui denied.
Hearing this, Wei Ran, who was slightly relieved, stopped asking questions. Anyway, as long as he had no work, it would be fine. Since he was forced to starve during the defense of Leningrad last time as a guest, he was really afraid.
Got here.
"How about we go back early this year?" Suisui, who seemed a little guilty, also took the initiative to change the topic.
"Go back to China?" Wei Ran asked curiously, "Aren't you busy with your work anymore?"
“It’s not too late to go back to work”
Suisui said, "Just leave the work here to the girls, and Lola will stay."
"Alright"
Wei Ran nodded indifferently and asked about the other party's plans after returning home early.
While the two were chatting, the transport plane loaded with tropical fruits landed smoothly in Petersburg.
When the group of them walked out of the airport, sisters Olga and Olena had been waiting at the door for a long time. But what Weiran didn't expect was that Niniel hadn't left yet.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Wei Ran, who was holding the dog, asked Nineel curiously.
"I'm waiting for the results of your investigation"
Ninel replied slowly, "Did you investigate it so quickly? It seems that Uncle Culp said..."
"You guessed wrong"
Wei Ran said angrily, "I haven't started investigating yet."
"So you are here to send them here, and then go back to continue the investigation?" Ninel continued to say wishfully, "It's really hard work..."
"I'll stay too"
"Then when are you going to investigate?" Nineel asked dissatisfied, "I'm very anxious."
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet."
Wei Ran directly pushed his suitcase to the other party, "This kind of thing can't be rushed. Anyway, don't worry, I will give you the result before American Christmas."
Hearing this, Ninel thought about it carefully, and then slowly said a belated welcome speech, "Okay, you are welcome to be a guest."
"Olija, please take care of your Niner." Wei Ran teased helplessly, "He doesn't seem to welcome me."
"He just hopes that you can help him get a result of the investigation as soon as possible." Olga said perfunctorily with a smile, making it clear that she was on Nineel's side.
While joking and chatting, everyone got into a large Iveco van driven by Olga herself, left the airport and drove to the city, finally parking on the side of a street.
"The house above is Shostakovich's former residence that my father bought. Aunt Dalia bought the house next door. Now the two houses have been connected and are open to the public."
Olga opened the car door and said, "Let me take you to visit."
"Let's go!" Suisui responded more actively than anyone else.
Leaving the dog Beria in the car, Wei Ran and Ninel followed the girls to the fifth floor and took a good look at the carefully renovated former residence.
Both expected and unexpected, most of them were tourists from China, and they all seemed to know Suisui.
Not only that, but sitting next door to the house bought by Dalia, there were two old guys who were very familiar to Wei Ran.
These two old men were fishermen who had followed Olga and Olena's father, Mr. Ivan, a professional fisherman in Shenhu Lake.
But now, both of them have changed into suits and leather shoes, and are busy checking tickets and selling various souvenirs here.
As for these souvenirs...it seems that most of them are various small sculptures made by Olena.
Are they both also part of Deathstroke...
Wei Ran couldn't help but think about it while chatting with these two "old colleagues".
This was destined to be a question without an answer. After a brief wandering to take a few photos, everyone went downstairs and got into their cars in a hurry, heading straight to the fish island outside the city.
It is now early December, and although the rivers along the way are still navigable, many places near the river banks are already frozen.
"I have a plan"
Suisui, who kept saying she wouldn't talk about work before setting off, still couldn't hold it back and spoke in her native language into Wei Ran's ear.
"Let me guess?" Wei Ran asked in his native language.
"Guess! There's a prize for guessing it right!" After Suisui finished speaking, she directly put her ear to it.
"You plan to wait for the river to freeze, no, I should say, wait for Lake Ladoga to freeze, and then organize some sleds to resume the road of life on the ice, right?" Wei Ran asked firmly into the other person's ear.
Hearing this, Suisui immediately nodded vigorously, "You better understand me. Tell me, what do you think of this idea?"
“Not great”
Wei Ran shook his head, "The risk is too high. What if one falls or freezes to death?"
"What danger could there be in running close to the shore?"
Suisui said proudly, "I also plan to get some traffic officers carrying red lights to serve as save points along the way."
Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but shake his head, and after reacting, he asked with a smile, "Are you sure this can work?"
"Crack!"
Suisui snapped her fingers and said mysteriously against his ear, "Official cooperation has basically been reached by less than half."
"When did it happen?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
“The last time there was news that the studio was commissioned to make a movie about the siege of Leningrad.”
Suisui said proudly, "Currently we don't have the scale to shoot that movie, or in other words, the studio doesn't have the scale to make that movie good enough, so I can only do it with difficulty."
Let’s make some money with the locals first, and then we can shoot when we have enough.”
"Who are you planning to trick this time?" Wei Ran asked, holding back his laughter.
"I don't want to hear what you say."
Suisui snorted, "This time we will launch the German market first. Let them test the waters first and make sure it is safe before launching the Russian market."
"You won't be gathering wool at home this time?"
"Whoever wants to be picked up is not picked up, and the domestic ones will be the last to be pushed."
Suisui said enthusiastically, "In the future, this route will mainly be promoted to schools, high school students and college students. It is anti-freeze and anti-tired. It is just right to play in the winter."
"You made this calculation..."
Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded. He knew that this visit must not be just for fun, otherwise this girl would not have such great motivation.
"hey-hey"
Suisui smiled proudly and said against Wei Ran's ear again, "I also made one in China, this time I asked Brother Xi and his busty girlfriend Qin Qi to help me make it."
"What?"
"Re-walking the Long March"
Suisui didn't notice the weird expression on Wei Ran's face. She almost hugged his neck and explained in a low voice, "You are the only one who discovered the route of the Long March cultural relics. You also visited Uncle Jiang and his family as guests, which is considered a blessing.
Their family has also generated income.”
"When did this happen?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.
"I have been planning since November."
Suisui took advantage of the situation and kissed her man on the face, "The travel agency that Sui Xin's parents took over is already promoting it. Otherwise, why do you think Sui Xin came here this time?"
"Okay... okay, as long as it's nothing to do with me." Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who said it's none of your business?"
A sentence popped out of Suisui's mouth that made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, "You will have to do me a favor in a few days."
"What...what are you busy with?" Wei Ran swallowed subconsciously.
"You will know then"
However, Suisui gave up at the most critical moment, and then dragged him to talk about topics that had nothing to do with work.
Don't go to Leningrad again...
With Wei Ran showing some anxiety and resistance, but also with a hint of expectation, the car drove onto Fish Island and finally stopped at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
As expected, there are many tourists here, and it seems that there are also many of Olga's classmates and teachers.
However, what was unexpected was that although Wei Ran and others got out of the car, Ninel not only did not get off the car, but instead put on a mask and baseball cap early.
Not only that, he even left Wei Ran in the car under the pretext of "helping move things."
Waiting until all the girls got out of the car, Ninel immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the dock at the northeast corner of the island.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Nineel was not going to explain, Wei Ran stopped asking any more questions, rubbed the dog's head next to his leg and waited patiently.
Not long after, Niñel drove the car to the edge of the pier, slowed down the speed, and then drove into the garage of a two-story wooden house.
Before the car was completely turned off, the rolling shutter door of the garage was lowered with a bang, and the beautiful wooden garage also lit up with dazzling lights.
"Get out of the car," Ninel said, having already taken out his BlackBerry and threw it away, opened the door and jumped out.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also took off his electronic devices, opened the car door and got out of the car with his dog Beria, followed Nineel through a wooden door and walked into the living room of this wooden house.
"Victor, we meet again."
Before he could see the layout of the house clearly, Uncle Chubb, who was sitting by the fireplace, greeted him warmly, "Come here and warm yourself up! Is this the Caucasus you raised named Beria?"
?”
"We meet again, Uncle Chubu."
Wei Ran greeted the other party politely, then patted the dog's head and said, "Beria, go say hello."
After getting the signal, Beria waggled his thick tail and came close to Uncle Chubu, smelled it, and then licked the back of his hand.
"What a smart boy"
As Uncle Chubu spoke, he reached out and touched the dog's head, then picked up a piece of ham from the plate on the small table next to him and handed it to Beria's mouth.
Although the piece of ham immediately seduced Beria's squid, it still turned around and glanced at Wei Ran longingly. It wasn't until the latter nodded that he carefully licked the piece of ham into his mouth.
"This dog is well trained," Uncle Chubb praised.
"Teacher Dalia helped me train."
Wei Ran sat down on another single sofa next to the other party and said, "I usually travel a lot on business, so I actually don't have much time to spend with it."
"A dog's lifespan is not many years, so you should spend more time with it."
Uncle Chubu wiped the corners of his eyes as he spoke, and said sadly, "I once had such a smart Caucasus, but unfortunately, it was beaten to death to protect me. Since then, I have never had one again."
I’ve had a dog.”
"Can you guys talk about dogs later?"
As Niner spoke, he placed the cups he had just taken on the table, and unceremoniously picked up the wine bottle to fill his and Wei Ran's cups, "I'm even more curious now about what's going on with Uncle Chubu?
Is this some kind of exclusive nickname?"
"It's not important"
Uncle Chubu said while gently patting the sturdy dog Beria, "If you want, you can call me that."
"Forget it, I haven't watched cartoons since I was eight years old."
Ninel drank all the wine in the cup, reached out and pinched a pickle, took a bite, stood up and said, "I brought you people, you guys..."
"You should also stay and listen."
Uncle Chubu greeted him, and ignored Nineel, who seemed to be quite familiar with him. He turned to Wei Ran and said, "After the last incident, I made a lot of money from it, Victor, I said
I’m going to give you some decent gifts.”
"I haven't thanked you for helping me yet." Wei Ran finished the first half of the sentence humbly, and then asked curiously, "So what is the gift?"
Uncle Chubb was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Victor, I like your attitude! This is what young people should be like.
Unlike this little bastard Ninel, every time I plan to give him something, he yells no like a pure little girl!"
"Is this why you asked me to stay?" Ninel snorted angrily, as if he had long been accustomed to such teasing.
However, this can also be seen from the side. Uncle Chubu, who is unwilling to reveal his true identity, seems to have a very good relationship with Nineel.
"Good boy, I let you stay just because I miss you."
After Uncle Chubu finished speaking, he picked up a deck of playing cards placed on the sofa and placed it on the table to create a straight line that was enough for Wei Ran to see the cards.
Contrary to his expectation, the cards printed on this deck of cards were all kinds of Soviet weapons and equipment.
There are everything from AK47s to various tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even various types of aircraft, warships and ships. Especially the big and small kings, which have the symbols of nuclear weapons and chemical weapons printed on them.
"As I told you, I am a dedicated arms dealer."
While Uncle Chubu introduced himself again, he carefully pulled out the cards with individual weapons and tanks and armored vehicles printed on them.
However, before Wei Ran could say anything, Ninel sneered, "Uncle Chubu, your job is to be an arms dealer. Even if you write my name upside down, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of these three words."
We can get it together.”
"I hope Comrade Lenin can survive."
Uncle Chubu also snorted and threw the picked cards directly into the trash can.
In the end, the remaining cards contained only various types of military and civilian aircraft and ships, as well as dangerous kings and kings.
"You don't want this historian to be your arms dealer's apprentice, do you?" Nineel asked.
"He? He can't. He is a historian, which is much more glamorous than mine."
As Uncle Chubu said this, he gathered the remaining cards on the table together, shuffled them in a very fancy way, and then spread them on the table again, except this time the cards were face down.
"Okay, Victor, just draw three cards."
Without any warning, Uncle Chubu said to Wei Ran, who was like an outsider, "I will give you whatever I draw. If you can draw the King, I can even give you a nuclear bomb that is about to expire as a gift."
"You'd better not draw the king"
Ninel reminded him with gloating, "That's as disgusting as eating last night's shit for breakfast every day."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then change it"
Uncle Chubu was unexpectedly easy to talk to, "If you can draw the big king or the little king, I can give you an abandoned land-based nuclear bomb launch base. How about this option?"
"Is this a gift?" Wei Ran asked, dumbfounded.
"Of course it's a gift," Uncle Chubu said seriously.
"He wasn't kidding"
Ninier "helped" from the side and said, "He only gives these gifts. My 15th birthday gift was a poisonous stinger that he gave me for my 15th birthday. I don't know how long it expired. I almost used that precious gift. Demolished neighbor’s house.”
"Gulu"
Wei Ran inevitably swallowed his saliva. Even though he prided himself on being fairly well-informed, he was still frightened by this other way of giving gifts.
However, after noticing the flash of scrutiny in the other person's eyes, Wei Ran smiled and asked unexpectedly, "Can I ask what type of nuclear warhead it is?"
"You are a madman"
Uncle Chubb made a serious evaluation, then laughed and said, "But I like crazy people."
"So what type of nuclear warhead is it?" Wei Ran asked again calmly.
"10,000 tons equivalent or 100,000 tons equivalent on the dot"
Uncle Chubu was rare and serious, "They can still be used, at least they can be used as dirty bombs."
"But the price is that you will be labeled a terrorist"
Niniel hurriedly reminded him, and he realized belatedly that this friend who looked gentle and gentle was indeed just like the damn fat man said, he was a madman, a real madman.
"What if I draw Xiao Wang?" Wei Ran's tone was also more serious.
"The same chemical warhead from the dot"
Uncle Chubu looked into Wei Ran's eyes and replied, "The poison filled is Novichok code-named A232. If you draw Xiao Wang, this warhead will be yours, but if you choose to use it, no matter where it is, , I will disclose your identity."
"Are you scared?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"Just to protect myself"
Uncle Chubu laughed suddenly, "Many people know that I have this warhead, so if you use it, I must distance myself from it."
"In this case, I hope that the Sanqing Taoist ancestors, gods, Buddhas, Nanhai Guanyin, and living ancestors will bless me so that I can win the big and small kings."
Wei Ran murmured a "spell" that the two of them did not understand, and without hesitation reached out his hand, and before Uncle Chubu and Nineel could react, he casually pulled out three playing cards.
"Do you want to take a gamble?" Wei Ran asked, holding down the three cards he had drawn.
Seeing Uncle Chubu and Ninel looking at each other, Wei Ran smiled, turned over the three selected playing cards one by one, and threw them on the table one by one.
