Bao Lid had to interrupt Wei Ran's unfinished words, "None of us can speak Japanese. If Zhuo Ya is not here..."
"Comrade Paulide"
Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder and said seriously, "Zhuo Ya didn't come because she was busy with her own job. As for us not knowing Japanese, there is nothing wrong with it. The only reason to blame is that those prisoners of war don't know Russian.
So let’s torture it normally, and let everyone use their brains. If anyone can find out any valuable clues, you can give him half a day off tomorrow, and the wolfskin holster you made can also be given to him in advance as a reward.
"
"I understand!" Paulide raised his hand and saluted and said loudly.
Not bothering to care whether the other party really understood or pretended to understand, Wei Ran walked towards another shack, pulled out a low table as a stool and sat down, looking at the prisoners of war who were still tied to the pillars with interest.
The number on the chest of this prisoner of war was 586, which was only three numbers different from the prisoner of war that was taken away by Mikita. This had to make Wei Ran doubt the relationship between the two people.
Unfortunately, Zhuo Ya was not here at all at this time, and communication between him and the prisoners of war was problematic, so even if he wanted to ask something, he could only give up temporarily.
On the other hand, the prisoner of war who was being stared at by Wei Ran felt uncomfortable all over. At this moment, he was expecting Wei Ran to ask something, but he was also afraid that Wei Ran would torture him in order to torture him out of what he wanted.
From morning to afternoon, Wei Ran, who had never made a move, finally left the shack with the roll of whip in his hand as a pretense, followed Bao Lid back to the dormitory building, and got into the bustling cafeteria.
"Captain Victor, we asked for a barely valuable clue in the afternoon." Paulide waited for the two of them to sit down, took out the wine bottle, opened it and took a sip, and then said.
"What clue?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"We hired an additional prisoner of war who could speak Russian to serve as a translator."
Paulide explained with a silly smile, "One of the prisoners of war told us after being whipped a few times that the prisoner of war taken away by Mikita also had a younger brother."
"You have a younger brother?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the one that was taken away is called Xishan Dameng, that's how it sounds."
As he spoke, Paulide took out a red plastic notebook from his pocket, then licked his fingers and opened the notebook, pointing to the pronunciation marked in Cyrillic letters on it and said, "His younger brother's name is Nishiyama Nobita. It is said that he used to
Also worked in Mine No. 52, but disappeared after the mine tunnel collapsed a few months ago."
"Wait first"
Wei Ran put down the pie he had just poked, "Paulide, where did you catch the prisoner in the other shack?"
"In the mine"
Paulide replied without thinking, "It was after you asked me to take away Prisoner of War No. 589 from Dr. Goosen's office last night that Captain Mikita sent someone to notify me to capture it in Mine No. 1."
"Mikita notified you?" Seeing the other party nodding, Wei Ran asked more inquisitively, "How did he inform you? Be more detailed."
"Captain Mikita gave me a note and asked me to follow the route written on the note to arrest the person."
Having said this, Baolide flipped through the book in his hand and pulled out a piece of paper the size of a playing card and handed it to Wei Ran.
After taking the note, Wei Ran's heart trembled when he saw the numbers on it. On this note, there was only a set of letters and numbers recorded - Fe52-1-3-16 -
586
"Just rely on this number?"
"Of course, this method was invented by Mikita's sister. I remember that you and Dr. Gusen hadn't come yet at that time."
Baolide took the note from Wei Ran's hand and spread it on the table. He pointed at the number on the note and explained, "The two letters at the beginning represent iron, 52 represents mine No. 52, and the number 1 represents
The number is Mine No. 1, the 3 represents Platform No. 3 of the Monkey Cart, and the number 16 behind it represents Mine Lane No. 6 at the first station. 586 is the number of the prisoner of war. Combined with the initial letters, we only need to be on No. 6
Just look for Prisoner of War No. 586 among the prisoners of war who are mining magnetite in the mine."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."
Wei Ran, who was listening attentively just a second ago, turned around immediately after the other party finished speaking, "Baoli De, you have misunderstood me. Of course I know all this. What I want to say is, we
New team members, how many of them have been in the mine? Can they find the corresponding location through these numbers? The important thing is, can they get out of the mine smoothly."
"This is indeed a problem." The bearded vice-captain Paulide immediately frowned.
"Let's organize them to go to the mine tomorrow morning to get familiar with it," Wei Ran said, "take them down in person, at least take them for a walk to familiarize themselves with this numbering system."
"What to do with those prisoners of war?" Paulide asked in a low voice.
As he spoke, Wei Ran also took out his own wine bottle, touched it with the other party and said, "In the afternoon, give each of our team members a number and ask them to escort a prisoner of war to five mines individually.
Find the corresponding location in the cave and put the prisoners there. When they come back, exchange numbers and let them bring the prisoners out again.
No matter the first time or the second time, the person who comes back the slowest invites everyone to drink. If it is the same person both times, he will be taken out of the firing squad. This is also for their own good, so as not to be trapped in there and not be able to get out.
.”
Bidige
Before he finished speaking, Wei Ran came close to Bao Li De's ear and lowered his voice and said, "
When the time comes, you can personally take Prisoner of War No. 586 with me and find a way to get some mine explosives and delayed detonation devices."
"Understood!" Paulide also lowered his voice and responded affirmatively.
"cheers!"
Wei Ran laughed and raised the wine bottle and touched it with the other party again, then returned to his normal voice and said, "When I come back tomorrow, I really want to learn how to use a whip with you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The topic was brought to the whip, and the honest bearded man became much more talkative. After finishing dinner while chatting with him, Wei Ran returned to the room and locked the door directly.
door.
The conversation he had just had with Paulide at dinner could be very fruitful. In addition to deciphering the code found on the photo negatives before entering this historical segment, he also made a bold guess.
Now, he had reason to suspect that the weapons that appeared in the prisoner of war shack, including the prisoner who made the weapon, jumped out to admit it, and was then taken away by Mikita. All of these were probably caused by Mikita in advance.
Arranged!
Even, as discussed at the dinner table, Mikita might have arranged for Mikita to hide the younger brother of Prisoner of War No. 589 who disappeared not long ago due to a mining accident! In this case, the recent mining accident was also Mikita's handiwork?
When the speculation reached this point, Wei Ran also had some enlightenment. He was sure that all these arrangements were to hide the gems that could not be taken away.
"Mikita's brain is good..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself, and then followed his memory and recalled the group of numbers Cr52-4-7-24 found on the negatives before entering this period of history.
"Cr stands for chromium, no, no, no, it should represent demantoid garnet. In other words, demantoid garnet is hidden in No. 4 mine of mine 52, along the 7th monkey station platform, in the
The fourth mine tunnel at the second station should be like this..."
Wei Ran recited the decoded route silently in his heart and remembered it firmly in his heart. Then he hid the kettle with the gem, took the toiletries and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.
After a silent night, without Mikita's snoring, Wei Ran, who slept alone in a dormitory, was able to have excellent sleep quality. Also, when he was woken up by the alarm clock, he was much more energetic than before.
He got dressed carefully and checked the ammunition of the revolver in his hand. Then he hung the kettle with the extra finds on his waist, then took out the metal lunch box and put it into the pocket of his woolen coat.
inside.
After saying hello all the way into the dormitory on the first floor, the members of the firing squad headed by Paulide had already filled the three adjacent tables, leaving only one empty seat for Wei Ran.
"The content of today's assessment has just been explained very clearly."
Paulide waited for Wei Ran to sit down and continued, "The method was proposed by Captain Victor. According to the prior agreement, the person who was the last to come back twice will be kicked out of the execution squad. Do you have any opinions?"
"No objection!" A member of the firing squad with a wolfskin holster on his waist was the first to respond. Obviously, he was the one who asked for the key clues yesterday.
"Since you have no objection, let's eat quickly."
Wei Ran said with a smile, "After you have eaten, Captain Paulide will take everyone to walk around the mine to get familiar with each other. In the afternoon, it will be your time to act alone. In addition, if the two
Every time the same person comes back first, and I can lend him my camera for a week and provide him with a roll of film."
When they heard that there was an extra prize, the members of the firing squad responded immediately, so much so that they even ate much faster.
After finishing breakfast in a hurry, Paulide handed an inconspicuous canvas bag to Wei Ran, and then led the members of the firing squad through the prisoners of war queuing up for meals and walked excitedly towards the direction of the mine.
Taking the canvas bag and slinging it over his shoulder, Wei Ran loaded it with the specially packed meals from the canteen, and then once again arrived at the shack where only Prisoner of War No. 586 was kept.
After personally adding firewood to the fireplace not far away, Wei Ran untied the rope from the prisoners of war's hands, then placed the breakfast he had brought on the table and held it in his hands.
Upon seeing this, the prisoner of war moved his wrists a bit, then immediately grabbed two slices of bread and a few slices of ham and stuffed them into his mouth.
Looking at the devoured prisoner of war No. 586 as if looking at a dead man, Wei Ran gently squeezed the mining explosives packed in the canvas bag, and the expression on his face became more and more expectant.
