In the darkroom with a room full of people, everyone who was originally thinking about the two photos looked at Lola who was confused as Wei Ran asked.
"I...I don't know..."
Lola carefully took the film from Wei Ran and asked tentatively, "You...are you willing to let us go?"
"It is illegal to place minors under house arrest," Wei Ran and Suisui said in unison.
"And he will be sentenced to a felony," Maya added.
"But she was smuggled over from Ukraine"
Ji Ma then reminded him. Seeing everyone looking at him with disdain, the guy belatedly realized that everyone had misunderstood what he meant. He quickly chased after him and said, "I mean, she can't find anything in Russia."
If you don't get a legitimate and serious job, the best result is to be arrested by the police and deported to Ukolan."
"It will be bad if I don't return to Wu"
Lola said in a rare firm tone, "I want to sell the two demantoid garnets just now, and then take Korava to the hospital for treatment."
"Speaking of this, what exactly is demantoid garnet?" Wei Ran asked again.
"I don't know either"
Lola clutched the bullet casing hanging around her neck and said, "My aunt told me it was demantoid garnet, and said it was more valuable than diamonds."
"It's a high-end gemstone"
Anfisa, who was unable to answer this question last time, explained, "It was first discovered in the Ural Mountains in the 18th century. Although this kind of gem is indeed more expensive than diamonds, because the particles are generally not large, more than two carats is considered
It's rare. If it reaches more than 10 carats after cutting, it is enough to be sent to auction.
It is precisely because of this reason that there are actually not many buyers and sellers, and there is not a sufficient market like diamonds. In other words, if you want to sell a demantoid garnet as big as 10 carats, otherwise you want to sell it.
It’s actually not easy to get there, and it may even be less expensive than a diamond of the same size.”
"And those two stones have not been cut or polished."
Suisui didn't notice the desperate expression on Lola's face, and subconsciously said, "At least half of the value of diamonds comes from the cutting and processing. I guess the same is true for demantoid garnets."
"If you continue talking, this girl may cry again."
Jima pointed at Lola while speaking, and the latter seemed to have received the signal, and the tears she had been holding back began to fall.
"I can't help you with the gems, but I can introduce you to a hospital in Kazan. My classmate's father is a psychiatrist at that hospital."
Maya patted Lola on the shoulder and said, "If you are willing, you can come with me and take your sister to check it out."
"If you can't sell your gems, try selling them to this bastard."
While Jima was speaking, he pointed at Wei Ran, who was about to walk out, "In addition to being a well-known historian, he is also a damn rich man."
"If you are willing to take your sister to see a doctor with Sister Maya, you can stay here temporarily."
Suisui also expressed her goodwill. Anyway, unless she needs to blow up the kitchen, the cooking job will never fall on her. So in her opinion, this "extra pair of chopsticks" is really a big deal.
Nothing.
"When did you all become so kind?"
Wei Ran, who was about to walk out of the darkroom, asked dumbfoundingly. Not long ago, he was kind to those young mothers who were restrained in Africa, which caused a lot of trouble for himself. Now he really doesn't want to be involved in this anymore.
Got stuck.
"Who would bear to let such a beautiful little girl suffer?" Maya said with a smile, "right? Ji Ma?"
"Maya is right"
Ji Ma subconsciously agreed, then realized the trap in this sentence, and immediately added and explained, "I mean, everything Maya said is right. Besides, besides sending her aunt to prison
Besides, you don’t need me to do anything else, right?”
"It's much safer than letting her live in Jima's house."
Suisui said seriously. As soon as these words came out, not only the Katenka sisters and Wei Ran, but also Maya nodded in agreement.
"What do you mean?" Jima asked dissatisfied, "Even if she lives in my house, I won't do anything. From the first time we met, my heart and body have all belonged to Maya."
"It's so disgusting," the Katenka sisters complained in unison, turned around and walked out of the darkroom.
"It's really disgusting," Suisui also agreed, and Maya and Lola pulled Lola and her sister out of the darkroom.
"Is it disgusting?" Ji Ma looked at Wei Ran blankly.
"It's as disgusting as kissing Brezhnetsov." Wei Ran grinned and walked out of the darkroom, leaving only the two photos waiting to dry and Ji Ma, who was flexing his middle fingers.
In just one morning, Lola, who had nowhere to go after losing her aunt, stayed at Wei Ran's house with her autistic sister in a daze.
In this regard, both sisters Suisui and Katenka, as well as Maya and even Jima who came over as guests, all showed enough kindness because of this girl's tragic experience.
Before lunch, Maya made an appointment with a doctor through her classmates. After Jima sent Lola's aunt on the freight train to Inta in advance, she helped to unpack the remaining parts with the thought of picking up leaks.
Those dozen bullets.
It's a pity that these are all genuine bullets, and all he took out from them was only the propellant.
By two o'clock in the afternoon, the snow outside the window was already getting heavier and heavier, but even so, Suisui and Maya rushed to the hospital with Lola and her sister, accompanied by the Katenka sisters.
Even Jima was not idle, he was responsible for retrieving the luggage of Lola and her sister Korava, especially a certain bear doll that the latter had been looking for since morning.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In contrast, Wei Ran was lying on the rocking chair by the fireplace, patiently waiting for the sweet potatoes buried in the ashes to be roasted, while teasing him
The dog Beria was lying next to him, and the two big-eared foxes were lying on the dog.
And what he held in his hand was the one named "Cultivation of group obedience and psychological correction of prisoner-of-war order" among the three projects that Suisui had borrowed to read in the story.
According to the description at the beginning of this topic, after completing three years of work in Labor Camp No. 49, the person involved was transferred to a place called Mine No. 52 and continued to work as a doctor.
Unlike the previous Labor Camp No. 49, the No. 52 Mine held all prisoners of war who had been recruited.
Of course, what attracts Wei Ran is not the various psychological experiments experienced by the nuclear prisoners of war who only have numbers but no names in this subject, but the No. 52 Mine itself.
It can be said that when Wei Ran was guessing the meaning of "Cr52-4-7-24" in the photo with everyone in the darkroom in the morning, Wei Ran thought of the No. 52 mine recorded in this project.
According to his thinking at the time, the Cr52 at the beginning undoubtedly represented the chromium ore produced by Mine No. 52. It was precisely in order to verify this guess that he took advantage of the fact that everyone was not around to dig up this topic for verification.
.
However, what disappointed him was that Mine No. 52, which was mentioned inadvertently between the lines in the few pages he had read, seemed to produce only ordinary iron ore.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, use the two Japs captured together to manage the little Japs. Which genius came up with this method?"
Wei Ran couldn't help but smack his lips. Although he originally expected to find some clues from this topic to unravel the meaning of the numbers in the photo, he couldn't help but be attracted by the description of prisoner of war management.
.
According to the description here, it seems that the person who wrote this topic proposed some improvement methods for the management of prisoners of war in Mine No. 52 based on some principles of psychology, and thus received a Red Banner of Labor Medal, 500 rubles and a
Revolver bonus.
In fact, as he read further, Wei Ran also found several pieces of manuscript paper mixed in, which described in detail his psychological feelings after following the executioner to shoot the prisoners of war, as well as the entire process of his self-counseling.
After spending an afternoon, Wei Ran didn't finish reading the first file of this research project, but Suisui, the others, and Ji Ma had already rushed back one after another.
"I have found their things." As Jima spoke, he took out a shabby gray suitcase from the carriage and handed it to Lola.
"How is the situation over there?" Wei Ran asked Suisui.
"Typical congenital autism, but some test reports will not be available until tomorrow, and we will have to take her over for other examinations and tests in the next few days to know."
When Suisui said this, she gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Although many reports have not been released, the doctor inquired about the situation of Korava's parents in detail, and based on Lola's description, and Jima's help in questioning that person
After receiving the reply, Zha has roughly concluded that the reason why Korava was born with autism is probably related to the fact that her mother read while she was pregnant."
"so..."
"It's difficult to completely cure it," Lola said with a low expression, hugging her sister Korava, "many hospitals finally gave this judgment."
“Let’s eat first”
Wei Ran changed the subject at the right time and invited everyone to sit down around the long table. Then he placed a sumptuous meal and a large plate of sweet potatoes that he baked on the fireplace on the table.
Of course, he did not cook this meal himself, but brought it from the construction site next door. After the snow fell, the sweet potatoes and potatoes left in the yard that had not been dug out were too lazy to bother himself, so early
Before Suisui and the others came back, they called the fellow villagers on the construction site next door and asked them to dig by themselves. Whatever they could dig was theirs.
Not only that, even the endless vegetables in the greenhouse were completely open to them as extra meals.
You know, the meat may be as cheap as free here in Maozi, but the food is definitely not cheap. Because of this, the contractor Lao Li directly assigned more than ten people to come over, and only used less than two
The long-overdue harvesting work was completed within hours.
As the saying goes, after the dinner was cooked at the construction site, the foreman, Old Li, took a few people and personally delivered several delicious stir-fries and stews. This just happened to help Wei Ran save a lot of money.
less time.
After dinner, Maya and Jima settled in contentedly without any need to persuade them to stay. The former even played mahjong with sisters Lola and Katenka, who had just learned it. Instead, they took care of the autistic girl Cora.
Wa's job was left to Jima.
On the other hand, Wei Ran and Suisui strolled to the third floor and once again got into the room belonging to Teacher Dalia.
"What are your plans next?" Wei Ran opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaned against the armrest, and asked in Chinese that only the two of them could understand.
"Let them live here first. Anyway, she has less than half a year before she reaches adulthood. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If we save two people now, it will be level 14."
Suisui and Weiran leaned on the armrest side by side and answered. She naturally knew that the other person was asking about Lola and her sister Korava.
"Always living?"
“You’re so stingy”
Suisui rolled her eyes, "I asked Lola in the afternoon. She doesn't have any relatives in Harkev anymore. She even got into trouble a lot because her father went to school with Korawa's parents.
trouble.
Otherwise, her scumbag aunt would not have smuggled herself to Russia. At this time, letting her go back to Ukraine or just driving them out of our home is no different than sending them to death. So let them live there first, at least
How about living here until Lola comes of age?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Where's the rent?" Wei Ran asked deliberately jokingly.
"I'll pay for her," Suisui asked angrily, "You're not going to hit those two broken stones, are you?"
"Can't you suspect that I'm plotting against that girl?" Wei Ran asked the other party helplessly.
"You are not the scumbag Ji Ma"
Sui Sui was overjoyed and gave a trusting response, and then asked tentatively, "How about you show kindness and help and ask Jima to get Russian passports for the two of them? This way, you can wait until Lola reaches adulthood.
From now on, she will at least have a way to find a legal job to support herself and her sister."
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Wait, what is it called?"
"Didn't you already help Katenka and the others get Vorkuta's new identity?"
Suisui said proudly, "The day they got their passports, they told me that you specially gave them new identities in order to allow them to pay less tax, and that it was my instruction."
"Pay less tax?"
Wei Ran grinned secretly, nodded simply and said, "That's what happened. I asked Jima to help them get it so that it will be more convenient no matter where they go in the future."
"Then help them both get new identities?" Suisui begged again, "Level 14 pagoda!"
"Can't you just go to Misha directly for this matter?" Wei Ran asked in confusion, "You, Queen Yinta, can't your words work better than mine?"
"Misha and I are business partners."
Suisui said seriously, "In other words, Inta and I are business partners. But the more this happens, the less I can do this kind of thing. To put it in words that a historian like you can understand, I can't owe Inta anything.
Favors are only the favors they owe me, otherwise they will not be able to do business in the future."
"What about me?" Wei Ran asked with interest, "Can I do that?"
"Of course you can"
Suisui continued her absurd explanation, "You owe Jima a favor by asking Jima to help with this matter. Jima asked Misha because of their relationship.
So no matter what happens in the end, it will not affect the cooperation between Inta and I, and I don’t owe them any favors, and I will even pretend that I never knew about it."
"You businessmen are so troublesome"
Suisui kissed Wei Ran on the cheek with a smile, and said with a smile as she walked out, "It's not easy for a historian like you who can make money."
"It's easy for me..."
While Wei Ran laughed at himself, he also subconsciously rubbed the tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his left hand. As a historian, he almost paid for it with his life.
Not only that, strictly speaking, he has had no income for a long time since the incident in the desert. In addition, he bought a house and a car. Now, except for the diamonds and gold that he doesn't want to touch, he has no money.
My pocket is almost cleaner than my face.
But who knows if it’s a feng shui problem or because he’s too close to Ji Ma, so it’s been two or three months, and except for the old guy in Kajik who doesn’t pay for his work, he hasn’t received any
What a decent business.
Strolling all the way downstairs, Suisui returned to her young and careless appearance, joining the card game with a loud voice, and helping Lola, who was still a little cautious, to kill everyone on the card table.
At the same time, Wei Ran also approached Ji Ma with two glasses of gin and asked him to help him get two new identities in his own name.
“This kind of thing is simple”
Jima Hun agreed nonchalantly, and then said with some envy, "When will I be able to live a life like yours?"
"My kind of life?" Wei Ran didn't react for a moment, "What kind of life?"
"Of course it's the life of a house full of beauties."
Jima pointed to the mahjong table in the distance, "Among the people I know, perhaps only Mr. Culp before we went to Hongqi Forest Farm enjoyed this kind of paradise-like life."
"Enjoy it? Enjoy it..."
Wei Ran grinned secretly, it wouldn't matter if there was only Suisui in this family, after all, this girl was usually very carefree and wouldn't pay attention to trivial things.
But the Katenka sisters are different. These two girls are beautiful, but are they normal people?
It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Ran is worried in his dreams now, worried that one day these two girls with strong observation skills and vigilance will accidentally discover the existence of the metal book.
Nowadays, it is very likely that two more girls will come. When he thought about this, he even suddenly understood the feelings of those wild animals whose habitats were destroyed and their living space was continuously compressed.
To the bullet hole.
With a tacit understanding, he ended this topic that made Ji Ma envious and Wei Ran a headache. Wei Ran dug out a few more sweet potatoes from the ashes on the edge of the fireplace. He first gave one to Ji Ma and then to the one who sat quietly on the sofa.
The girl holding the fox shared a small piece.
It's a pity that this little girl with an innocent smile on her face from beginning to end is like a puppet on strings. Although she can hold the small piece of sweet potato steadily, she doesn't respond to Wei Ran calling her name.
response.
"I will go to Kirov to continue my classes the day after tomorrow."
Jima held the wine glass and clinked it with Wei Ran, "I will also ask Mr. Gorman at that time to see if he has any solution to this situation."
"I hope you get good news from him."
Wei Ranhun said nonchalantly, after all, this little girl is different from social anxiety or mental illness such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, so even Gorman may not be able to do anything.
While the two of them were chatting, the snow that had been falling all day outside the window stopped. Suisui and others finally ended the game and returned to their rooms to rest.
After taking her sister back to her room, Lola closed the door and looked at the handbag on the table in confusion.
Those handbags contained clothes, shoes and other things that Suisui and others bought for her and her sister during the day. There was even an unpacked mobile phone and a mobile phone in the corner of the table.
Children's watch for positioning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wiping the corners of her eyes randomly, Lola hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the package and put the pink children's watch on Korava's wrist.
on the phone, and then unpacked the mobile phone's box and took a photo of Korava.
In this room that already belonged to her, while she was taking Korava to open gifts and try on clothes, Suisui, who had already finished taking a bath, pushed away the toilet paper that came over and dug out the three topics with great interest.
looked up.
"Why are you so interested in this?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"Although I don't care about Laura's two little stones, do you still remember the note in her bullet casing?"
Suisui slapped Wei Ran's misplaced paw away angrily, "The note says, this is the first fortune I leave you. Since there is a first one, there must be a second one. Wan
What if I find it? And there is that set of numbers, what if it is a safe deposit box password or a bank account password or something? At the very least, I can find the location of the map in the photo."
“It’s not that easy to find”
Wei Ran couldn't help but shake his head. Although this girl thought of him together, it was really not an easy thing.
Not to mention anything else, among these three projects, even the "Research on How to Artificially Create Mental Illness" project contains two and a half file bags. The thickness of the information in each file bag is at least about two or three times.
centimeters.
This is still the smallest and largest one, the topic of "Cultivation of Group Obedience and Psychological Correction of Prisoner of War Order", with a total of 7 bulging portfolios, and the remaining one is "Investigation of Human Physical and Mental Limits in Extreme Cold Environments"
The subject also has 6 portfolios.
With so much information, even if you wanted to read it carefully, it would take you ten days and a half, let alone trying to find any clues about those two photos.
Sure enough, after reading less than ten pages, Suisui yawned and chose to give up for the time being, and was then dragged into another battlefield filled with artillery fire by Wei Ran.
