In the early morning, before the sun even jumped out of the horizon, fine snowflakes were already floating in Kazan on the banks of the Volga River. Although the roofs of various colors were not completely covered by snow, they looked plump as if covered with a layer of soft light.
many.
On the shore of Lake Kaban, Wei Ran, urged by his biological clock, got up early as always, taking with him his dog Beria, who was gradually able to keep up with him but also needed to wear a muzzle, and Ji, who stayed here last night.
The horses started their morning jog along the trail around the lake.
In the warm lobby on the first floor, after Suisui failed to stay in bed with the excuse of being hungover, as usual, she was once again pulled up from the warm quilt by the Katenka sisters, and she danced sleepily doing aerobics.
On the contrary, Maya and the two little girls who didn't have time to go home last night were able to stay in bed with peace of mind.
Of course, there are those who fail to stay in bed, and those who succeed in staying in bed. Of course, there are also those who are already awake but dare not leave the bedroom.
In a sunny guest room on the third floor, Lola, who was wearing pajamas, glanced at her sister who was still sleeping on the bed, and then poked her head out of the gap in the curtains to look at the yard outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
When she retracted her head and lay on the bed, all that was left in her mind was confusion and confusion.
At 7:15 in the morning, Weiran, Jima, and Beria, who was wagging his tongue, ran back to the yard slowly. Less than a minute later, Anfisa, who had gone out to buy breakfast, also drove back, bringing something special.
Fried dough sticks, steamed buns and tea eggs bought from a Chinese restaurant.
Almost at the same time she walked into the room with breakfast, Anfiya also poured hot milk into the cups on the long table, and even poured out a cup for Wei Ran and Suisui from the soymilk machine.
A big bowl of soy milk, and don't forget to put a spoonful of sugar in the latter's bowl.
While Wei Ran and others went to take a shower, the Katenka sisters, who had already prepared breakfast, followed them upstairs, preparing to wake Maya and others up for breakfast.
But it was obvious that Maya was more interested in sleeping in than eating breakfast, and the two little girls were not woken up at all.
Lola, on the other hand, opened the door the moment Anfisa knocked on the door, and subconsciously looked inside the room. Anfisa was shocked to find that not only the autistic girl Korava was already in Lola's room.
He brushed his teeth and washed his face under his care, and even made the quilt and bed neatly.
After coming back to her senses, Anfisa looked at Lola wearing her own clothes, smiled and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat."
Lola tightened her grip on the bullet necklace hanging around her neck, mustered up the courage to look at Anfisa and asked, "Will you sell me and Korava?"
"This is not something I can decide"
Anfisa, who knew the answer clearly, continued as she walked downstairs, "Even the right to breathe has to be fought for by yourself. Begging and praying are of no use. Also, the meal you secretly hid last night
It's best to leave the knife in the room. Otherwise, you may not even have a chance to eat breakfast."
Hearing this, Lola couldn't help but panic, but even so, she still didn't take out the knife hidden in her sleeves. She just mustered up the courage and pulled her sister Korava to follow Anfisa.
, with the mood of mourning himself, he walked downstairs step by step, and under the arrangement of the former, he sat down at the long table obediently.
What made her feel a little frustrated and helpless was that in addition to the food that she had never seen before but smelled delicious, there were also bright silver knives and forks on the napkins. It seemed that she did not need them at all.
"Bring your own tableware" also seemed to imply that her little preparations were of no use at all.
While she was watching the two big-eared foxes running around the house and thinking wildly, the scumbag who "ran the largest skin and meat business in Kazan" also walked to the strip while wiping his wet hair with a towel.
tableside.
Glancing at Lola with a pale face and frightened eyes, Ji Ma subconsciously touched the beard that had not been shaved for a few days, then looked down at the clothes he was wearing, and looked at Already with a playful smile.
Lola stood up, pulled her sister and tried to hide in the corner, and asked, "Aren't you guys as handsome as me? Otherwise, why are you so scared? Do you want me to give you an autograph? To be honest, I'm a
A little famous..."
"a little famous scumbag"
The Katenka sisters came over, knocked out Jima's character identity in unison, and then sat on the left and right of Lola and her sister's seats.
"Why do you two always target me?" Ji Ma picked up a small steamed bun and threw it into his mouth, chewing it fiercely and asked angrily.
Anfisa waved to Lola and motioned for her and her sister to sit over. At the same time, Anfiya also explained, "Sister Misha reminded us that you are a scumbag. If you don't want to be entangled with you, right?"
You'd better have a bad attitude."
"My sister was right."
Anfisa nodded affirmatively before Jima could speak, "And sister Maya also said the same. She also said she regretted being so kind to you at that time."
"Me!" Ji Ma gritted his teeth and looked at the two sisters. In the end, he could only pick up the second Xiao Long Bao and threw it into his mouth with dissatisfaction.
I don't know if it was just the strong steel "big devils" of the Katenka sisters that made Lola find her backbone, but the little girl subconsciously moved her chair next to Anfiya.
She was naturally afraid of being sold to the scumbag across from her, but she was also afraid of Anfisa, who had stunned her yesterday and made her stand on one leg all day long - even though she had prepared a sumptuous dinner for herself last night.
Just at this moment, Wei Ran and Suisui also walked down the stairs one after another.
Looking at Lola next to Anfiya with a strange expression, Suisui put her hands on her hips and asked with a disgusted look on her face, "Scumbag Ji, you finally lost interest in Sister Maya and started to attack children again.
?”
“What is Chicken Man Fried?”
Ji Ma subconsciously repeated the Chinese nouns that popped out of Suisui's mouth, then rolled his eyes and explained, "This beautiful underage girl has nothing to do with me. It was Victor who put her to death yesterday."
Under house arrest."
"Is this the stupid thief yesterday?"
Suisui reacted immediately. Although she was drunk by the two or three glasses of home-brewed wine last night, she still remembered that a thief was caught at home.
"It's her"
Wei Ran found a place with chopsticks and sat down. He took a sip of the soy milk. Seeing that sugar was added to it, he immediately changed it with the bowl next to him. Then he said, "Let Anfisa explain it."
Bar."
Hearing this, Suisui glanced thoughtfully at the little girl who still had a look of fear, and waved her hands carelessly, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'm starving to death. Let's eat first!"
Wei Ran glanced at Suisui without leaving any trace, then Wei Ran picked up the fried dough sticks, tore them open and threw them into the soy milk, slowly eating his own breakfast.
It can be seen that everyone at this table is waiting for Lola, who is sitting between the Katenka sisters, consciously or unconsciously.
After all, this girl not only has to fill her own belly, but also takes care of her sister Korava next to her who can't even use a knife and fork.
It took almost an hour to eat an ordinary breakfast. When Lola and her sister had finished their portions, Maya also rubbed her messy hair and went downstairs sleepily.
At the same time, Ji Ma also turned into a licking dog in an instant, carrying an untouched breakfast, ran into the kitchen in a familiar manner, and put it in the microwave to reheat it.
It wasn't until Maya successfully ate the reheated breakfast that Anfisa sat next to her boss and recounted what happened yesterday and the content of the inquiry.
"Where's that scumbag of hers?" Suisui asked through gritted teeth after hearing the story.
"We are currently at the freight warehouse of Kazan Railway Station."
Ji Ma, who had been playing the role of the big devil invisibly, slumped on the sofa and picked his teeth while explaining, "If you don't need her anymore, she will be sent away tomorrow afternoon. I gave it to Misha last night
I called her and she has already made a promise that she will let that bastard aunt stay in jail for at least ten years."
"Do you have any objections?" Suisui asked Laura naturally.
Hearing this, Lola looked at Suisui with a blank look on her face. She was so stunned that she didn't know how to answer this question, let alone whether she should answer this question.
At this moment, Jima also put down his cell phone and said to Lola in a very serious tone, "Of course, it's okay even if you want to kill her yourself, and I can guarantee that no one will trouble you because you kill someone.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Suisui frowned, but after seeing Wei Ran beside him shaking his head slightly at him, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say.
Lola, who was the center of everyone's attention, glanced helplessly at her sister Korava, who was sitting next to Maya. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered, "Just... let her go to prison."
"Don't you want to kill her?"
Jima asked reluctantly, "I can even help you dispose of the body."
"I don't want to," Lola responded in a low voice first, and then repeated in a louder voice, "I don't want to."
"Don't want to or don't dare?" Ji Ma asked with a gloomy face.
Lola, who was almost scared to cry, bit her lip tightly, trying not to cry, and responded again, "I don't want to!".
"Congratulations on not going astray and saving your own life."
Ji Ma, who looked like an ancestral gangster just a moment ago, immediately sent out congratulations with a smile on his face, completely ignoring Lola, who had a dull look on his face, and proudly gave Wei Ran a high-five.
"Neuropathy"
Maya, who was eating breakfast while observing Korava, rolled her eyes and muttered, but her tone was less disgusting and more smiling.
"Since you let your aunt go, let's let you go too."
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already stood up and walked into the darkroom not far away. He could naturally see the intention of Ji Ma's probing just now.
Of course, the aunt who could be called a scumbag was not unjust no matter who died. But there is really no need to ruin the life of a little girl who was only a few months away from adulthood because of her crime.
After all, if you really want to kill that woman, you just need to put her in a set of professional outdoor gear for this season and throw her into the forest around Inta.
Those wolves that have begun to starve will definitely not mind helping to kill a damn person, and the local TV station in Inta will definitely not mind using half a minute to report on the news program that an American tourist did not comply with the regulations.
The local travel regulations and precautions were formulated under the leadership of Aurora. Unfortunately, she was attacked and killed by a pack of wolves in the wild.
Secretly praising Jima again for what a good scumbag he was, Wei Ran also carried the wooden box he had brought down from upstairs to the long table outside.
"If I guess correctly, this should be your grandfather's personal belongings left in the Yudino Library."
As Wei Ran spoke, he had already opened the lid of the wooden box. At the same time, Suisui and others, including Lola, also gathered around. Only Maya was still eating breakfast while taking care of the little one who seemed to only know how to laugh.
girl.
Naturally, the three scary research topics would not appear in this box, so Wei Ran just glanced at Lola, who was still a little flustered and confused, and simply took out the "Soviet Medical Encyclopedia" and opened it.
The pistols and bullets inside were displayed one by one.
“I haven’t touched it since I got it.”
Wei Ran held down the revolver first, looked at Lola and asked, "But I remember there are bullets in it, so for the safety of all of us, how about I take out the bullets first?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Lola nodded cautiously, stood obediently on the edge of the table, and let Wei Ran place the bullets in the revolver one by one.
He stepped back and watched him dismantle the pistol into parts.
"How about you find it yourself?" Suisui asked with a smile.
Lola nodded vigorously, reached out and took out a hairpin from her hair, then picked up a bullet and poked the bullet with one end of the hairpin. Seeing that there was no cross-flower groove on it, she immediately picked up the second bullet.
As expected, the two bullets with cross-shaped grooves on their bullet heads were quickly picked out.
"You need a screwdriver to unscrew it," Lola said carefully.
Without even needing to say hello, Anfisa went to the storage room, took out a small tool box that had not even been unpacked, found a screwdriver and handed it to Lola.
After looking at the people watching around her, Lola gritted her teeth, took the screwdriver as if resigned to her fate, unscrewed the bullet head of the bullet she picked out, and then picked out a small ball of cotton from it.
He knocked it gently on the table, and two small green stones, no bigger than soybeans at most, rolled out of the cartridge case.
Contrary to Lola's expectation, the people around them didn't touch the two small stones that were crucial to her at all. Not only that, but Wei Ran picked up the bullet and observed it carefully.
There are only three types of flange-nosed bullets used in this Nagant revolver. They are the most common and relatively best-stopping flat-nosed bullets, the relatively rare round-nosed bullets, and the bare-lead competition bullets.
.
The bullet he was holding in his hand at this time was a relatively rare round-headed bullet. The tip of the bullet was artificially cut with a cross-shaped groove, and the punching point was used to fix it in the bullet case.
Further down, a circle of spiral grooves is carved. It is precisely because of the existence of this circle of grooves that the bullet can be screwed out like a screw.
I picked up the bullet case again and looked at it. In the deepest part of the bullet shell, near the primer, there was still a small ball of cotton vaguely visible.
"Bring a pair of tweezers," Wei Ran said without raising his head.
Upon hearing this, Anfisa immediately stood up and walked to the desk not far away, opened the drawer and took out the medicine box, found a pair of pointed tweezers and handed it to Wei Ran.
Carefully pulling out the cotton ball inside, Wei Ran turned on the flashlight function of his phone and looked inside. Unfortunately, there was nothing else inside.
Putting the bullet casing on the table, Wei Ran turned to look at Lola, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can you take apart your bullet casing necklace and show it to me?"
Lola thought for a while, reached out and took off the bullet necklace from her neck, pulled out the leather cord, and carefully pushed it to Wei Ran.
After taking the bullet engraved with Stalin's famous quotes and looking at it, Wei Ran noticed that the hole punched in the bullet happened to be used to fix the bullet head at the punching point in the cartridge case.
Try to unscrew the bullet head with a screwdriver. There is also a cotton ball inside, but judging from the color of the cotton ball, it is obvious that it was put in recently.
Under Laura's gaze, Wei Yan used tweezers to pull out the cotton ball, and at the same time brought out a piece of translucent green...glass slag.
Putting the glass shard aside with tweezers, Wei Ran continued digging around and pulled out a roll of paper sealed from the front and back with yellowed transparent tape.
This roll of paper is less than one centimeter wide and less than five centimeters long. On it, just as Lola said last night, there is a sentence spelled out in tiny Russian letters - this is the first thing I leave you.
A fortune.
After taking the rubber gloves from Anfisa and putting them on, Wei Ran carefully rerolled the note and stuffed it into the bullet case, and used tweezers to poke it to the bottom layer, next to the primer.
Then, under Laura's dull gaze, he put in the two small green stones that he had just taken out of another bullet, and filled the rest with the cotton ball he had just taken out.
space.
Finally, he screwed on the bullet and put on the leather cord, and Wei Ran pushed it to Lola who was standing across the table.
"You...give them to me?" Lola looked at Wei Ran in disbelief and asked.
"If you don't want it, you can give it to me."
Wei Ran responded nonchalantly, and at the same time, he pinched the green glass stubble he had just taken out, as if flicking away a piece of disgusting boogers, and accurately sent it into the trash can not far away.
Laura held the necklace and stared blankly at the trash can in the corner, feeling that her mood was inexplicably relaxed.
"Do you want to open the other one?" Wei Ran asked, and at the same time handed the screwdriver in his hand to the little girl opposite.
After coming back to her senses, Lola hurriedly put the bullet necklace around her neck, took the screwdriver with one hand, and picked up the last tampered bullet on the table with the other.
This time, the silly girl seemed to trust Wei Ran completely. After removing the bullet, she handed the bullet casing to Wei Ran without even looking at what was inside.
Upon seeing this, Wei Ran first placed the bullet casing on the table, then rolled up the cuffs of his sweater, then picked up the tweezers again and carefully pulled out a small ball of cotton from the bullet casing.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, when he turned the bullet case upside down and knocked it gently on the table, nothing fell out.
Turning around and looking inside, Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, picked up the tweezers again, and carefully pulled out a piece of gray silk cloth and two black plastic pieces from the bullet casing.
"Wait a minute, these seem to be two negatives." As Wei Ran spoke, he used tweezers to clean off the cloth and took out the negatives wrapped inside.
Although the perforations on both sides of these two curved plastic sheets had been cut out, Wei Ran could tell just by their size that they were negatives developed from 135 film.
"Look what's being photographed here?" Jima came closer curiously.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't touch"
Wei Ran pulled away Ji Ma's paws and said, "These two negatives have become brittle after being placed in the bullet shell for so long."
"Can it be washed out?" Suisui asked the key question, and then asked Lola, "Do I need to help you wash it out?"
"Can...is it okay?" Lola asked cautiously.
"Asking you?" Suisui turned to look at Wei Ran.
"let me try"
Wei Ran thought for a while, stood up and took two steps into the darkroom with the two negatives. Then he stopped and said, "Suisui, bring Lola in and watch the excitement together. Also, bring
Get the remaining bullets."
"Okay!" Suisui agreed, grabbed the remaining bullets on the table and stuffed them into Lola's pocket, then stepped on the little girl Lola's arm and followed happily.
"I'll go in and take a look too." Before Anfisa could finish her words, she stood up and chased after her, grabbing Lola's other arm from the other side.
When Wei Ran took the three girls into the darkroom and locked the door, Ji Ma followed suit and spread his hands, "Just like the Wukelan people in my impression."
"What's the same?" Anfiya asked puzzledly.
"First, as long as you give them some small favors, they will be stupid enough to trust others."
Ji Ma lit a cigarette to himself and deliberately blew a puff of second-hand smoke at Anfiya. After the latter flapped his palms to disperse the smoke and pointed his middle finger at him, he lowered his voice slightly and continued, "
Second, they believe in other people's incitement too easily. You see, the breakfast I ate was almost finished, and she didn't even doubt whether the content of my interrogation of her aunt was false."
"She's just a 17-year-old girl who was scared by you," Maya reminded, who had already finished her breakfast, "although I couldn't have been so stupid when I was 17."
"Dont look at me"
Anfiya spread her hands, "When I was 15 years old, I was able to hack into the official website of Vienna's Musikverein to get free concert tickets."
"Just you?" Jima questioned Anfiya desperately, "I don't believe this kind of thing."
"up to you"
Anfiya picked up a little fox and sat on the sofa, reminding her nonchalantly, "We can compete with you on how fast you can rush home, or should I save those erotic videos and pictures from your computer hard drive?"
It’s faster to delete them all.”
"When did you hack my computer?" Ji Ma asked with a livid face and embarrassment.
"Never before"
Anfiya played with the big ears of the little fox in her hand and replied with a smile, "I guessed it."
"Turn back and teach me how to do it."
Maya picked up the other little fox and handed it to the little girl who seemed to only be smiling. She gently led her to sit next to Anfiya.
"that..."
Jima cleared her throat awkwardly, shyly changed the subject and asked, "Is her condition serious?"
"I'm not a medical student, how do I know?" Maya spread her hands, "This is a physical disease, not a mental disease."
"That's true." Jima grinned, hating why he didn't follow him to the darkroom just now to see the excitement, and why he had done nothing to provoke Anfiya.
Just as he was racking his brains to figure out how to regain his face in front of Maya, his right-hand man Greva also sent the armored pickup truck over.
Almost before and after, the two little girls who had been sleeping in also ran down the stairs with their mobile phones and yawned. They took two small steamed buns from the long table and hurriedly met Jima.
After waiting for someone to say hello, he ran out as quickly as possible.
But even so, these two little girls, who looked like their heads were stuck in a dye vat, were still driven over by Greva, who tapped their foreheads with his fingers.
"You, the gang leader, are not as prestigious as Greva," Anfiya couldn't help but muttered.
"This may be the only place where he is relatively successful," Maya commented with a smile, but did not explain in detail.
Anfiya naturally had no interest in the topic of Jima, so she simply took out a lollipop from her pocket, tore it open, stuffed it into the mouth of the autistic girl Korava, and smoothly passed it from her
Got a sweet smile.
While they were waiting, about half an hour later, the door to the suggestive room was opened by Anfiya from the inside.
Seeing this, Jima and others immediately got in, and Anfisa, who came out first, took advantage of no one paying attention to her and threw a bright silver table knife onto the long table before she could clear it away.
In the darkroom with the light on, everyone including Wei Ran, Suisui and Lola looked up at the two photos that were not yet dry on the drying line.
In the first photo, what was taken was just a map. But what is special is that although this map is extremely detailed, the marks on it are all a seemingly irregular combination of letters and numbers.
Looking at the second photo, the content inside is even simpler. It is just a piece of white paper held by two hands. There is only a set of handwritten numbers on the paper starting with letters - "Cr52-4"
-7-24”.
"What does it mean?"
Jima raised his neck and asked, "There doesn't seem to be such a string of code names on the map in the first photo."
"What did you think of the abbreviation Cr?" Wei Ran asked, rubbing his neck.
"Chat roulette?"
Jima subconsciously answered, "You can often meet some people there... Well, what Greva told me, yes, that's what he said. He told me that you can often meet some interesting friends there."
Maya rolled her eyes at Ji Ma first, and then expressed her guess, "Could it be the abbreviation of Chaos Regulation?"
"What is that?" Suisui asked blankly.
Maya spread her hands, "Intermittent anxiety is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"I thought it was the abbreviation of created."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suisui grinned and expressed her opinion in a silly manner, and then asked Lola with great interest, "What about you? What do you think?
What does it mean?"
Lola, who didn't expect that she would have a chance to speak, thought for a moment and said in a confused manner, "I often use this abbreviation after I lose the team in the game."
"Carriage return?" Anfiya asked subconsciously, and Laura immediately nodded after hearing this.
"It could also be diphenoxazepine"
After Anfisa finished speaking, seeing everyone looking at her blankly, she helplessly spread her hands and explained, "A chemical poison used by Americans."
"Why do you think of this?" Maya couldn't help but ask.
"I'm more interested in chemistry," Anfisa naturally gave an impeccable explanation.
"I would rather believe it represents the core router"
It was rare for Anfiya not to have consistent opinions with her sister, and at the same time, she subconsciously gave her what she thought was a reasonable explanation based on the field she knew.
"Victor, what about you?" Jima put his hand on Wei Ran's shoulder and asked.
"Have you ever thought about something?"
Wei Ran spread his hands helplessly, "In the era when Lola's grandfather was the administrator of Yudino Library, he seemed to have no access to any core router, no chance to play online games, and no chance to meet on any chat roulette.
Interesting friends.
Of course, I don’t think he would suffer from intermittent anxiety or have the opportunity to be exposed to American chemical agents. And most importantly, why did the Soviets use English abbreviations at that time?”
"Forehead..."
Everyone present grinned in embarrassment, but the little girl Lola suddenly burst into laughter, followed immediately by everyone except Wei Ran. It seemed that the laughter could also fill the screen and crowd them out.
The record of my mindless speech just now is the same.
"So what do you think it means?" Suisui asked, putting her hands and even her chin on Anfisa's shoulders.
"I guess it represents chromium"
Wei Ran shook the query content displayed on the screen of his mobile phone and said ambiguously, "Although I have no interest in chemistry, fortunately, the history books finally record that the Russian scientist Mr. Mendeleev invented the periodic table of elements. So even if the Soviet Union
Times, I guess people at that time didn’t mind describing metal chromium in this way.”
"Aren't you more interested in chemistry?" Suisui asked happily in Anfisa's ear.
Anfisa spread her hands and threw the blame to her former boss without leaving a trace, "The boss asked about abbreviations, not chemical symbols. He deliberately led us to guess wrong."
"But what about the numbers at the end?" Suisui pointed at the string of letters and numbers on the photo and guessed nonsensically in Chinese, "Cr52-4-7-24, 52 chromium week, 4 seasons a year, 7 days a week
Day, 24 hours a day?”
"Maozi doesn't know this kind of homophone"
As he spoke, Wei Ran picked up the two negatives in the paper bag and handed them to Lola. He switched back to Russian and said, "If you want to know what they represent, you can only find a way to find out what the map in the other photo is."
Only in this place can we possibly know the answer. But before that, Lola, what are you going to do next?"
