Under the oak tree that had lost all its leaves, Katenka shrugged regretfully, "Okay, that's the end of it."
"Will the other party notice that you have investigated this matter?" Wei Ran asked cautiously.
"Won't"
Katenka was particularly confident about this, "Even if you check, you won't be able to find anything on my head, so you can rest assured about this."
"That's good." Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject at the right time and asked, "How is the investigation on the smuggler going?"
“It hasn’t started yet”
Katenka took the last sip of Coke, then flattened the can and put it into the pocket of his windbreaker, "Before, all my energy was focused on Mrs. Amanda's affairs, but before Christmas, I will definitely find out the smuggler."
matter."
“You can arrange your own schedule”
Wei Ran walked towards the car parked not far away, and at the same time said the last instruction, "Katenko, I remind you one last time, Amanda's matter ends here, no matter how valuable the hydrological information she is looking for is, no matter what you think
How simple this matter is, this matter ends here."
"Understood" Katenka simply responded to Wei Ran's reminder and followed suit back to the car.
Wei Ran did not allow the other party to continue investigating Amanda. In addition to the advice given to him by his two teachers when he was in Inta, the main reason was that the metal book recorded clearly that Leo was already dead.
Everyone is dead, and most of the so-called hydrological information has long since sunk into the sea.
In other words, if Katenka continues to follow this clue and continues to investigate, in addition to causing a lot of trouble, he is destined to get no benefits at all.
On the way back, Katenka, who was in charge of driving, asked carefully, "Boss, what should I investigate next?"
"What do you do if you don't have a job?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"I used to run bookstores, but now I run restaurants and bars." Katenka slowed down the car slightly, "Although they are all boring, this kind of life is also very good."
"Don't you have any personal hobbies?"
"Of course"
As Katenka spoke, he pressed a button on the dashboard. Suddenly, manic heavy metal music sounded in the car.
"This is my hobby!" Katenka shouted amidst the music that almost broke her eardrums.
"Then go do something you like!"
"What did you say?" Katenka asked, lowering the volume.
"I said, go do something you like."
Wei Ran picked his ears in an exaggerated manner, "Normally, there aren't many things I need you to investigate, and that restaurant doesn't have to be open all the time. You can do something you like during normal times."
"You are such a good boss..."
Katenka took out a can of Coke from the storage box on the passenger seat, opened it and took a sip, but did not clearly respond to Weiran's suggestion.
Seeing this, Wei Ran simply said no more, and just signaled the other party to send him directly to the airport. Although this hurried trip did not yield any results, it allowed him to see Kajianka's ability. In general,
It's not a loss to say the least.
When he returned to Volgograd after a tiring journey, it was already a day later. He went to Nikolai's house and moved the box of relics that Dalia had brought from Moscow back to the studio.
There was no intention to launch an investigation immediately.
Because the tourists Suisui sent to Yinta took up a week before, and now he only has three or four days left before he returns to Hongqi Forest Farm for class next time. What Weiran needs to do now is to relax himself.
As for the origins of the relics that the Patriotic War Museum asked me to investigate, there is still time anyway, so there is no need to rush.
However, he had just slept all day, and early the next morning, Mrs. Amanda actually came to the door alone.
"Mr. Victor, we meet again." Mrs. Amanda greeted in fluent German.
After shaking hands with the other party, Wei Ran made a surprised expression and said, "Hello Mrs. Amanda, it turns out you can speak German."
"It's been a long time since I've used it." Mrs. Amanda smiled gently, "Victor, can I come and sit in your studio?"
"Of course! Please come in." Wei Ran warmly greeted the other party into the studio, while wondering whether the other party's purpose of coming was related to Katenka's investigation.
When he poured a cup of coffee for the other party, Mrs. Amanda smiled and said, "Your partner Herbert has been sent to prison for fraud and participating in theft. If nothing else, he may need to stay in prison...
"
"Please allow me to interrupt."
Wei Ran said with a surprised look, "First of all, Mr. Herbert and I are not partners. We only know each other because of a brief cooperation a few months ago. Secondly, you just said that Mr. Herbert is a fraud? He is not
..."
Amanda also interrupted Wei Ran's unfinished words, "Herbert's matter is not important. Mr. Victor, can you help me continue to look for my brother Leo?"
"this..."
Wei Ran helplessly spread his hands, "Mrs. Amanda, my main research direction and area of expertise are just the history of World War II and the historical mysteries of the Soviet-German battlefield. Although I am very sorry about your brother Mr. Leo, I am also very moved by that gold.
Treasure, but unfortunately, that is not my area of expertise."
Mrs. Amanda's eyes flashed with a complicated look of relief and disappointment that was well concealed, but she said without giving up, "According to Herbert, he once took the watch and IOU left by my brother.
Keep it with you for a long time."
"It does happen"
Wei Ran spread his hands frankly, "But I was not there when he delivered the things, and I didn't receive any notification from him. It was my friend next door who collected the things on my behalf. If you are worried about me investigating the treasure privately,
If so, you can go to the front desk of the travel agency next door and ask. Their travel agency's monitoring will be kept for at least three months, which should be able to confirm what I said. In addition, you can also..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, no, no, Mr. Victor, please don't get me wrong, I don't doubt you." Mrs. Amanda stood up simply, "In this case,
Then I won’t disturb you and wish you a happy life.”
"I also wish you can find your brother Mr. Leo and his treasure soon." Wei Ran stood up politely and sent his sincere blessings.
Watching Mrs. Amanda drive away alone, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he became more and more certain of Katenka's investigation results. This old French woman was indeed not a good person.
Fortunately, Wei Ran escaped from danger for the time being. He immediately locked the rolling shutter door of his studio, turned on airplane mode on his cell phone, threw it on the long table, turned around and got into the bedroom on the second floor to disappear.
Anyway, acquaintances will call the satellite phone directly after they cannot contact me, so as long as the mobile phone number used to contact the business cannot be reached, all the troubles can be blocked outside the rolling shutter door.
Sitting by the glass window of the bedroom on the second floor, Wei Ran took out the Guqin Yaoguang and lazily strummed the tight strings while thinking about some of the ideas that came up in Inta's hot spring camp before and slowly perfected them.
Every detail in it.
Three days later, when he was about to leave for Kazan, Gorman and Anna appeared at the door of the studio.
"Teacher Anna, Teacher Gorman, why are you here?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"Of course I'm here to teach you," Gorman said as he walked into Wei Ran's studio, minding his own business, "Are you here alone?"
"Just me"
Wei Ran asked Teacher Anna to sit down and said while making coffee, "If you come a little later, I will go to the airport."
Teacher Anna said, "Cancel the air tickets, and we will take classes in another place for the next half month."
"Where to go?" Wei Ran stopped what he was doing and asked.
Gorman took out half a bottle of gin from Weiran's refrigerator, opened it and smelled it, then sat down next to Weiran and said, "Go to Kazakhstan to take classes."
"Why are you going there?" Wei Ran asked in confusion. As for the other party's behavior as if he were at his own home, Quan pretended that he didn't see it.
"Go and close the rolling shutter door first," Teacher Anna said, opening the briefcase she brought and taking out a file bag from it.
Hearing this, Wei Ran obediently locked the rolling shutter door and sat next to Gorman at his greeting.
"You have been studying intelligence courses for a long time, so the next half month will be practical courses."
Ana paused and continued with a gentle face, "Of course, you can also use the following lessons as an assessment."
"Is there another assessment?" Wei Ran frowned and recounted his learning experience at Hongqi Forest Farm. There were almost no pleasant memories in each assessment.
"This time the assessment is different from the previous one"
Anna opened the file bag, pulled out a piece of information and handed it to Wei Ran, "Based on what happened last time in Yakutsk, we won't arrange any nanny for you this time like Karp did. You have to do everything yourself.
Let’s finish it, now let’s take a look at this information.”
After receiving the information handed over by the other party, there were only four color photos on the first piece of paper. On the second piece of paper, there were photos of two off-road vehicles. On the third piece of paper, there was a photo of a city located in the northwest of Kazakhstan.
Uralsk, a detailed address accurate to the house number of a certain hotel.
On the last page, there was a photo of an Asian man. Under the photo, the name "Anton Thorne" was written in Russian.
Seeing Wei Ran put down the information in his hand, Anna took out a document and two tickets from his briefcase and handed them to Wei Ran, "For tonight's flight, you fly to Orenburg first. When you get there, contact the person in the document.
Just put the phone number on the business card and someone will take you across the border to the Urals."
"Smuggling?" Wei Ran frowned.
“Not really a smuggler”
Anna smiled and explained, "When you arrive in Orenburg, your name will be Anton Thorne. You are a pure Kazakhstani. You have just seen his photo. As for whether you can put your own
Whether your face looks like the person in the photo depends on your ability."
Wei Ran opened the certificate book, looked at it, raised his head and asked, "What do I need for this assessment?"
