Following this flashy girl through a locked wooden door at the end of the stairs, Wei Ran was surprised to find that the layout of the second floor was almost the same as the first floor, even the wooden counter and the furnishings on the counter were exactly the same.
The difference between upstairs and downstairs is that there are no customers reading here, and there is an extra wine rack behind the counter.
"Sit anywhere"
The pretty girl who looked younger than herself warmly greeted Wei Ran to sit down on the sofa facing the counter, and then walked toward the counter and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Nothing is needed," Wei Ran replied calmly. He had not forgotten Nikolai's reminder half a month ago.
The girl didn't say anything after hearing this. After walking into the counter, she turned on a small fluorescent light above her head.
Under Wei Ran's gaze, she searched for a wine bottle on the dusty wine shelf, took out a wine bottle, opened it, poured out a glass of clear liquid, and soaked the card in it.
In just a few seconds, when she took out the card again, there was a strange shield symbol on one side of the card.
Seeing this, the girl immediately turned around, took out a second bottle of wine from the wine rack, poured out a glass, and continued to soak the card in. This time, groups of numbers the size of mung beans also appeared on the card.
"An ancient and outdated communication method," the girl muttered in a moderate voice. The contempt and fear in her tone perfectly interpreted what it means to be cowardly and stubborn.
"If you want to leave here alive, you'd better not come here before I call you." After hearing this, Wei Ran, who had just stood up to watch the excitement, immediately sat back down and waited patiently for the other party's call.
When the girl at the counter saw Wei Ran sitting down again, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. She honestly compared the groups of numbers on the card with the confession book, and read the hidden information.
The translation was written on a piece of paper.
After a moment, the girl panicked and took out a zippo lighter from the pocket of her denim shorts and burned the white paper with writing on it to ashes.
Under Wei Ran's gaze, the girl hesitated at the counter for a long time, and finally walked over to sit opposite Wei Ran as if she had made up her mind.
"Are you looking for Katenka?" This flashy girl looked at Wei Ran seriously and asked in Russian.
Wei Ran nodded equally seriously, "Yes, I'm looking for Kajianka."
"Unlucky..." the girl muttered and said reluctantly, "I am Katenka."
"Are you Katenka?" Wei Ran looked at the girl sitting opposite in surprise, "As far as I know, Katenka seems to be a man's name."
"But I am indeed Katenka," the girl said reluctantly, "I don't want to be Katenka, but now and for a long time to come, I am indeed Katenka."
Seeing that Wei Ran still had a suspicious look on his face, the girl stood up helplessly and said, "Come with me to the third floor and you'll understand."
"What can I understand?" Wei Ran muttered to himself, got up and followed the girl who called herself Katenka up the wooden stairs behind the counter again.
When the two of them passed through a thick wooden door at the end of the stairs one after another, what they saw finally turned into a living room full of life.
It's just that the environment here is not really clean and tidy. There are piles of women's clothes scattered on the sofa. Not only are there several pizza boxes stacked on the dining table not far away, but there are also some items such as stockings and other clothes draped on the chairs next to them.
Or underwear and other odds and ends. On the floor under your feet, there are various women's shoes, socks, snack packaging bags, even various bags and hats, and some cosmetic bottles.
While Wei Ran marveled at the pig's nest-like environment, the girl acted as if she was used to it. After kicking open a tin can with corn kernels remaining at her feet, she led Wei Ran to the door of a bedroom.
With a soft "squeak" sound, the wooden door of the bedroom was gently pushed open by the girl. Then Wei Ran saw a particularly neat and clean room. At the same time, he also saw an old woman lying on a rocking chair next to the bed.
.
"She is the Katenka you are looking for," the girl said, leaning on the door frame, "but you came too late. Since two years ago, she has become unknown to me."
"Amnesia?" Wei Ran asked, standing at the door.
"Alzheimer's disease"
The girl gently closed the door and walked back to the second floor with Wei Ran, while whispering, "So I am Katenka, the Katenka you are looking for. Do you have any other doubts?"
"No more," Wei Ran replied in a low voice.
The girl relaxed slightly after hearing this, reached out and grabbed a necklace with a key from her fair neck, and then pointed to the stairs leading to the first floor, "Wait for me in the stairs. Don't come in until I tell you."
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran stepped down the stairs, and then heard the sound of the door being closed and locked behind him.
After locking the door, the girl named Katenka put on the necklace again, walked to the counter softly, fished out a conch for landscaping from the fish tank with two small fish, and then removed the conch from the fish tank.
He took out a hard plastic key.
Taking the key and walking to a row of bookshelves, she lifted up the dirty carpet, then lifted up a wooden floor, and used the plastic key to carefully open the safe hidden under the floor.
The space in this safe is not very large, but there is a piece of TNT the size of a cigarette box placed in the center. And around this piece of TNT, there are pieces that are only larger than the palm of your hand and no more than two inches thick.
Refers to the square metal box.
On the upward edges of these boxes, there are numbers written in Russian letters mixed with numbers and a flashing red light. At the same time, two toothpick-thick wires are connected to the edge of the safe from the corner of each box.
.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Follow the number just translated to find the corresponding box. Kajianka carefully disconnected the wires and waited until the red light on the metal box went out.
It was taken out.
Finally, after confirming that the number on the edge of the box was correct and the number contained in the message she had just translated, she locked the safe, covered the floor and carpet, and then hid the key back inside the landscaped conch in the fish tank.
After wiping off the water stains on her hands, Katenka opened the door, put her head towards Wei Ran, who was still waiting at the stairs, and whispered, "Come in!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately turned around and walked back to the second floor, sitting on the sofa while Katenka locked the door again.
Katenka placed the metal box he had just taken out on the table, pressed it with one hand and said, "The storage fee and information update fee total 10,000 euros. Of course, if you are willing to pay more, I will not refuse.
This shabby bookstore has not made a profit for a long time, and there is not much money left in the account."
Hearing this, Wei Ran, who was already prepared, took out two wads of cash from his pocket and put them on the table. Katenka, who was sitting opposite him, also happily raised his hand and let go of the metal box, picking it up.
The two thick wads of cash were happily stuffed into the wide abdominal pocket of the overalls.
"Looks like I have a generous new boss, so I don't mind giving you an extra reminder."
After collecting the cash, Kajianka picked up the metal box first, pointed to the metal nine-grid button on one side and said, "About ten years ago, Kajianka performed a hardware update on it. The main improvement after the update is that the box
The TNT capacity has increased to 30 grams. However, the password and usage methods have not changed. After connecting to the standard power supply, you must complete the password input within 20 seconds. If you enter incorrectly twice in a row, the self-destruct program inside will be activated immediately. If you understand
, just repeat it.”
"Connect to a standard power supply and complete the password input within 20 seconds. It will self-destruct after two errors." Wei Ran said succinctly.
Katenka nodded with satisfaction, then pushed the metal box to Wei Ran, stood up and walked to the counter and said, "As usual, I should give you a meeting gift, so please wait a moment."
Wei Ran, who was about to stand up, sat down again after hearing this, put the extra heavy metal box into his pocket, and waited patiently.
About five minutes later, Katenka came over with a wooden box the size of a microwave oven, placed it on the table in the middle of the sofa with a clang, then opened the lid and casually took out a stainless steel box the size of a pencil case.
, pushed it to Wei Ran without looking at it, "That's it! Finally, thank you for waking up Katenka, although this is not what I want to see."
Wake up Katenka?
Wei Ran secretly cursed the key word that the other party just came up with, and while pondering the hidden information in it, he took the long stainless steel metal box with a normal expression.
Seeing Wei Ran accept the gift, Katenka also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the lid of the wooden box and sent it back to the counter. Then, without even saying hello, she simply walked down the stairs to the second floor.
Wei Ran, who was still sitting on the sofa, opened the small stainless steel box in his hand. In the box, there were 12 metal tubes with the length and thickness of the index finger placed next to each other. On the lid of the metal box, there were pictures of
These 12 metal tubes are equally divided into two categories, and the use methods are explained by the way.
According to the German markings on the lid, the six bottles on the left contain ricin, while the six bottles on the right contain highly toxic substances such as metallic thallium and potassium cyanide.
I gently picked up a metal tube and looked at it. I saw a slightly raised button on one end and a small hole on the other end. I could vaguely see a slender needle hidden in it. According to the metal tube
The calligraphy on the lid shows that such a small needle can only be used at close range, but once it is pierced, the poison in the metal tube will be injected into the target's body instantly, and the needle will retract into the metal tube after the injection is completed.
Carefully putting the metal pipe he had just picked up back into place, Wei Ran closed the metal box in fear. He never expected that the beautiful girl named Katenka would give this thing to him as a gift. This
He has never seen this stuff at Hongqi Forest Farm!
After putting away the metal box filled with poisonous needles, Wei Ran did not dare to delay. He didn't even take the briefcase that was used as a cover. He stood up and walked down the second floor, passing by the girl who had put on the headphones again.
I left this seemingly ordinary bookstore in silence.
Pressing the two metal boxes in his windbreaker pocket, Wei Ran patiently walked aimlessly along the street for a long time before raising his hand to stop a taxi and casually hailing one he had just checked on the map on his mobile phone.
