At noon on the second day after arriving in Yebao, Suisui and Leonte signed a highly tolerant investment agreement, and transferred one million rubles to the account of the pet hospital for almost nothing.
Without wasting much time, the three of them took the flight back to Kazan that day.
However, almost as soon as their car drove through the courtyard gate, a brand new white BMW car honked its horn behind them.
"Victor!"
The cheap teacher Kajik stuck out most of his head and shouted in a loud voice, "Come to school with me, there is something very important."
"Didn't I already graduate?"
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, pushed open the door, walked slowly to the other party's car, opened the passenger door and got in.
"Buy a new car?" Wei Ran asked as he fastened his seat belt.
"Of course" Kajik said while even lightly pressing the accelerator, "I have wanted to buy a new car for a long time. I have saved a lot of money for this car for a long time."
"Don't cry poverty with me." Wei Ran ruthlessly exposed the other party's little thoughts, "You are not willing to pay for the investigation funds, how can I still steal it from you?"
"Good boy, I knew you weren't like that"
Kajik gave a very perfunctory compliment, and then immediately asked, "Tell me what clues you found?"
"Before that, let's talk about what you plan to do once I find out that you want to find an exploration team and a transport truck driver."
"Why do you care about such a thing?" Kajik asked with a frown.
"If you don't want to spend extra money, at least you have to answer some questions for me, right?"
Wei Ran deliberately put on a vigilant posture, "I don't want to get involved in anything troublesome, so if you plan to kill people, silence them, destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, I will directly give you the clues I found.
and terminate my investigation."
"Victor, have you watched too many American movies?"
Kajik shook his head dumbfounded and simply stepped on the brakes by the lake. He said very seriously, "I just want to meet friends and colleagues I haven't seen for many years and see how they are doing. If they have really died unfortunately,
At least I can send them back to their respective homes."
"What if your colleagues or friends are still alive?" Wei Ran put his hand on the car door handle and asked looking at the sparkling lake outside the window.
"Have a drink with them, of course, and ask them how they're doing."
Kajik answered extraordinarily candidly. Seeing that Wei Ran still looked suspicious, he simply raised a hand, "Or do I swear to Mr. Nicholas?"
"Swear?" Wei Ran glanced at the other party mockingly, "Why do you need nuclear bombs if your swearing works?"
Kajik spread his hands after hearing this, "So are you going to say it or not?"
"a photo"
After a brief pause, Weiran said truthfully, "I found a photo among Shagoli's belongings. I guess he and his wife once visited the Tunguska Coalfield."
Having said this, he also took out his mobile phone, pulled out the photo he had taken, enlarged it and handed it to Kajik, "In the photo, the door of the truck has Tunguska Coalfield 16929 written on it, and the buildings outside the train carriage also look...
It’s very clear. Through these two points, it is easy to determine the location where this photo was taken.”
"How are you sure that the missing transport truck is related to the station in the photo?" Kajik asked while sending the photo to his mobile phone.
"What do you think of this photo?" Wei Ran asked the other party, and at the same time took his cell phone away from his hand.
"The photo was very clear, why do you ask this?"
"Clear? Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask. The angle of this photo will make the hostess in the photo very fat and short, and only half of the side face is photographed."
Wei Ran said seriously, "You can ask your wife, if you took a photo like this for her when she was young, would she develop it and put it in a photo album, or would she cut the film into pieces and treat it as nothing?"
Photographed."
"Is that why?"
"certainly"
Wei Ran's tone became more serious, "An old guy once taught me that all photos can only be divided into two types. Either they record facts, or they record beauty.
Obviously, the beautiful side of the hostess in this photo, or the side full of maternal glory, was not recorded. But the photo was still saved in the album, so there are only two possibilities."
"Which two?" Kajik asked subconsciously.
"First, this photo is used to record facts."
Wei Ran paused, extended an extra finger, and continued, "Secondly, the protagonist of this photo is not the pregnant woman at all. I guess the protagonist he really wanted to photograph was," he said.
Maybe it was the man in the truck who was waving his hat to say goodbye to them, even if his face was hidden by the hat."
"She is pregnant?"
Kajik picked up his phone again, looked at the woman in the photo and joked, "I thought that was the fat on her belly. My wife has the same fat on her belly."
"I recorded this sentence just now."
Knowing that the other party had already agreed with his point of view, Wei Ran shook his cell phone in a pretentious manner and joked, "When I have time, I will go to that Georgian restaurant and exchange this recording for a free lunch."
of."
"You can also exchange a beating from me."
"Just you?"
Wei Ran put his cell phone into his pocket with disdain, "Forget it, Culp was no longer my opponent half a year ago. As for you, my boss, even if I give you a hand, you are still no match for me.
"
"Let's get down to business."
Kajik seemed not to have heard Wei Ran's provocation, "Can you be sure based on just this?"
"And the intuition of a historian"
"Fart intuition," Kajik reminded disdainfully, "Don't forget, I am your graduate tutor, and I am also a historian."
"All right"
Wei Ran spread his hands and said again seriously, "There are also real historians who have an intuition for the historical truth."
"Are you mocking me?"
“Every business I take starts with 200,000 euros.”
Wei Ran presented the facts with a half-smile, "But my graduate supervisor couldn't even afford two million rubles to pay for the investigation."
Kajik shook his beard and took a long breath, suppressing the urge to beat him up, "Victor, my good student, get out of the car. I will check where the truck and the station are in the photo."
Location."
"So my investigation is over?" Wei Ran asked expectantly.
"If I can find it, you will make a trip for me."
Kajik said while sending the photo, "I am too old and can no longer stand the low temperature in that hellish place, so young man, your work is far from over."
