Perhaps because it functions as a hospital, the room Wei Ran walked into was also exceptionally spacious. There were even a few single beds with iron frames remaining in the room, which were rare.
But compared to the wolf skins hung one by one on the wall with nails like specimens, there are more than a dozen animal traps and a hunting knife for skinning on the bed board of one of the iron frame beds.
, there was a rusty iron bucket beside the bed, and on the marble floor around the iron bucket, there was a large black stain left by the drying of an unknown substance.
After looking at the shoe covers under his feet, Wei Ran walked into the room carefully and inspected it carefully. He bent down and picked up a tin tuna can from the floor.
Wei Ran gently tapped the loose soil on the bedside and rubbed it carefully with his gloves. Then he discovered that the remaining production date on it showed that the can skin came from June 1964, and the place of production was
It's Kazan.
“It’s getting more and more interesting”
Wei Ran murmured to himself, threw the can into the corner under the bed, patted the dust off his gloves, and walked out of the room that looked like a slaughterhouse.
I cautiously came to the next door. It seemed that this place had once been a ward, but in this spacious room, there was only something covered by a rag on the iron frame bed farthest from the door and window.
Gently lifting up the dusty white coat, Wei Ran was surprised to find that underneath the coat were two wooden boxes the size of a microwave oven.
The strange thing is that these two wooden boxes without any markings on the outside seem to have never been opened.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran took out a pair of small pliers and easily cut off the rusty metal tie. Then he used the help of a bayonet to pry open the nails that fixed the cover.
However, when he opened the box, he found that inside the wooden box there were two metal boxes, one large and one small, spray-painted with yellow-green paint that looked like oversized tin cans.
On the surface of the large box, it was clearly marked in white Russian writing, which contained a full 10 kilograms of military TNT explosives. Looking at the smaller one, it contained detonating wires, detonators and matching detonators.
Without opening the two metal boxes that were in good condition, Wei Yan closed the wooden cover and carefully opened the second wooden box.
As expected, this box contained the same 10 kilograms of explosives and supporting detonating supplies.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran stood up and left, walking step by step into the third room. There was no difference in the size of this room, but next to one of the windows, there was a fireplace transformed from an oil drum.
There was a lot of chopped firewood piled up on the edge of the iron bucket, and there was a pile of ashes inside. There was even a small aluminum pot on top of the iron bucket, and there was some food in the pot.
Something like residue, and a small copper spoon with a five-pointed star hollow pattern.
In addition, there were several boxes of unopened cans, a box of vodka produced in Kazan, a kerosene lamp and two 20-liter oil drums stacked on the only iron bed in the room.
Returning to the corridor again, Wei Ran glanced at the only room left in the corridor, and then at the dog lying on the floor behind him, wagging his tail, and then he walked to the door of the room and gently opened it.
Animal skins hanging on the door frame.
With just one glance, he saw a ferocious-looking mummy half lying on the single bed by the window and leaning against the wall!
This room is almost half the size of the previous rooms. In addition to an iron frame cart with a corpse lying on it, there is also a cast iron stove with a chimney, and there is even a pile of charcoal in the furnace.
The knotted ashes.
In addition, there is a small wooden table inside. In addition to a kerosene lamp, there is also an open medical bag, a deformed bullet head, and... a fallen bullet.
Dusty brown paper envelope.
Without rushing to touch the envelope, Wei Ran carefully walked to the bed where the mummy was, and gently took out a TT33 pistol with the muzzle pointed towards the door from the hand of the corpse, which was only skin and bones.
Pulling the rusty slide, Wei Ran discovered that this pistol, like the rifle outside, still had bullets in the chamber.
After emptying the chamber and taking out the magazine, he placed the pistol on the table, then gradually opened the sleeping bag covering the lower body of the mummy, and carefully conducted an autopsy on him.
Without much effort, Wei Ran discovered stitching marks on the right side of his abdomen near his hip bone. At the same time, he also discovered black stains left by dried blood on the clothes next to this area.
In addition, he accidentally discovered that the corpse was holding a cylindrical seal in its other hand.
It took a lot of effort to take out the slightly yellowed seal. Wei Ran rubbed the side with the writing on it with his hands. After looking around, he pressed it directly on the dusty table.
When he mentioned the seal, a stamp barely appeared on the dusty table, but the dust was not ink pad after all, so he couldn't see it clearly.
After patting his forehead, he took out his mobile phone, which had no signal at all, and took a photo of the engraved side of the seal. He then flipped and enlarged the photo. However, even so, he failed to recognize the side of the seal with the inscriptions.
What does it say?
Too lazy to waste his brain cells, Wei Ran sent the processed photo to a satellite phone using Bluetooth, and then sent the photo to his friend Xia Shushi in China via the satellite phone.
When the photo was sent successfully, this guy didn't bother to consider the time difference and dialed it directly using the satellite phone.
After waiting for a moment, when the call was connected, Xia Shushi on the other end asked with a hint of distance, "Who is that?"
"I, Wei Ran"
Wei Ran showed his identity simply and directly, and waited for the other party's long "Oh——!" to end before continuing, "Are you convenient now?"
"Convenient, of course it's convenient!" Xia Shushi on the other end of the phone said cheerfully, "Do you have business to take care of?"
"It's not business yet, please do me a favor."
Wei Ran said without a pause, "I sent you a photo. Please help me see what is written on it."
"Okay, then you wait for me." "I won't hang up anymore." Wei Ran indirectly hinted that he was eager to know the answer.
"Let me take a look first"
After Xia Shushi responded, there was no movement. Fortunately, he did not let Wei Ran wait long before he gave the reply, "The content on this seal is translated into Chinese, which is Inuyang Sage, which is a personal name. Inuyang is a person
The surname is Xianren. It seems to be the seal of the Japanese. Where did you see it?"
"Does a dog breed a wise man?" Wei Ran couldn't help laughing, "Can a dog breed a wise man?"
"The little devil's surname is just that, there are people with the surname of cow dung"
Xia Shushi explained without being surprised, and then asked, "Brother, did you find any seals of the World War II Japanese?"
"Why do you ask?" Wei Ran threw the question back curiously.
"When you asked me about the Japs in Russia, you must have found another Japs prisoner of war who was left digging potatoes in Siberia, right?"
Xia Shushi said proudly, "How is it? Did you find anything interesting besides the seal?"
This guy is quite smart...
Wei Ran muttered secretly, and replied with a normal expression, "No at the moment, I just found a seal by accident, but I'm not sure if it belongs to the Japanese, so I asked you to ask."
Before Xia Shushi could say anything else, Wei Ran changed the subject and asked, "How is your old man doing?"
“Still the same”
Xia Shushi smiled and replied, "Isn't it cold now? I sent him to the south to spend the winter after the National Day holiday. My parents are helping to take care of him."
"You didn't follow?"
"Why should I find that uncomfortable?"
Xia Shushi paused, then brought the topic back up without giving up, "Brother, if you find any Japanese gadgets over there, you have to share them with me. If you need free labor for digging graves and whipping corpses, etc.
You have to think of me."
"I will definitely never forget you when I find out." Wei Ran responded with a dumbfounded response, making various half-truths and half-false promises before hanging up the call with the other party.
Weighing the seal in his hand, Wei Ran thought for a moment and put it into his pocket, then picked up the brown paper envelope on the table.
The envelope contained only a thin piece of letter paper and a cartridge case from Nagant's buried bullet.
Putting the bullet casing aside, Wei Ran took off the suede leather gloves on his hands and put on an extra layer of medical rubber gloves. Then he picked up the folded letter paper again and opened it carefully.
Dear daughter:
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it back in time to spend Christmas with you. At the same time, I also hope that you never have the chance to see this letter, because it not only means that I deceived you to go to Santa Claus and ask for the gift that I forgot to give you last year.
The Christmas gift thing is fake, which also means that you have also come to this ghost place.
But if you really see this letter, Dad hopes you can go home immediately and go to the ceiling of the bathroom on the second floor.
I left a small gift for you behind the map posted there. In addition, there is some money in the safe. The password is mom's birthday. Give all that money to your aunt. She will take care of you until you
grown up.
Finally, good boy, take the letter I wrote to you and go home quickly, and let me stay here. I never noticed how beautiful this place is.
Sighing secretly, Wei Ran carefully folded the letter into its original shape and stuffed it back into the envelope along with the bullet casing.
It can be seen that the person who left this letter was careful enough that he did not leave any identifying information between the lines of the letter.
Not only that, when Wei Ran inspected the body just now, he did not find any personal belongings that could identify him.
But even so, he was still certain that the body lying on the bed was undoubtedly the original owner of the house with a mezzanine in the attic.
