In the forgotten room, Wei Ran gently closed the manuscript of the memoir, carefully restored it to its original shape and put it back to its original position.
However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked through every room in the room again with a frown.
What puzzled him was that although this room was hidden in a tube building, it had three spacious bedrooms. Not only that, it also had a separate bathroom, which was definitely a standard feature at the time.
But here's the problem. Standing in the room, you might be surprised at how spacious the room is, but standing outside the security door, you can tell at a glance that one of the bedrooms has stretched into the room next door.
.
Could it be that...
Wei Ran pondered for a moment, left the room, and went to the door of the next door to observe carefully.
As expected, the door to this room was also covered with rust and dust, and it had obviously been forgotten for a long time.
After a slight hesitation, he once again took out the chemical cleaning solution and sprayed it on the keyhole, then used a lockpick to pry open the door lock.
As the thick wooden door on the inside was pushed open, Wei Ran was stunned. This room only had a living room, and unlike the room he had just been to, the windows in this room were actually made of bricks. Not only that, originally
The walls where the windows were located were painted white, and even the floor was covered with carpets with complicated patterns.
Directly facing this wall, there is a projector, an old video recorder, an old record player, a TV, and a radio.
Look at the walls on both sides. On the metal shelves, there are various books, video tapes and a large number of vinyl records arranged in different categories.
After a rough flipping through, those books were basically professional content related to aviation and mechanical design, but the handwritten names on the film protective cases were all familiar.
yawenba.
Among them are old films such as "Lenin 1918", "Song of the Forest", and "The Oath", as well as some such as "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" and "See It Yourself", which the Soviet Union had in the 1980s
"New Movie" shot.
I walked into the kitchen of this room and took a look. When I opened the dusty 3nЛ brand refrigerator, I couldn't help but smile. There was nothing else in this refrigerator that had long been cut off and stopped running.
It was almost filled with vodka and wine. Of course, even the remaining space was occupied by various cans.
"A man is happy?"
Wei Ran muttered to himself and took the bunch of keys hanging on the wall at the entrance. After some attempts, he found the key to the room and locked the door. Then he walked straight to the room on the other side that was next to the room.
Room door.
Wei Ran carefully observed the keyhole as usual, sprayed some chemical cleaning agent inside again, then tried it with the set of keys, and successfully opened the security door.
In comparison, this room is much more normal and warm.
Although the windows are also blocked by iron sheets and wooden boards, there is a lot more atmosphere of life. The furniture in the living room is covered with dust-proof plastic sheets, and there are some unpacked children's toys on the floor.
Even in the refrigerator in the kitchen, you can still see food residues that have long since rotted and dried. It feels as if the owner of this house was only on a short business trip for a few days and might come back at any time.
After looking through every room in the house one by one, he found some gains. At least he found an envelope in a drawer.
The remaining postmark on the envelope showed that the mailing date was August 1984. The mailing address was in Lipetsk, and the delivery address happened to be the house below. Unfortunately, there was no letter paper in the envelope, just a piece of paper.
Just photos.
In this photo, Niner, who is wearing a World War II Soviet Air Force flight suit, Felix, who is wearing a post-war Soviet Air Force flight suit, and Neva, who is wearing a ground service uniform, stand side by side in front of a La-7 fighter jet.
, maintaining a saluting posture.
Next to the three of them, there were white-haired Sasha, and two blond girls holding a little boy and a little girl respectively. At the top of the photo, there was also written in gold-plated Russian
With the words "40th Anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad".
After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran put the envelope and the photo inside into his pocket, followed his footsteps and left again, locking the door with extra care.
Wei Ran left the community next to Mamayev Hill with a normal expression. Wei Ran once again used the street garden not far from the community to remove his disguise. Then he took a taxi and rushed back to the supermarket not far from the travel agency.
Almost at the same time he found the car he borrowed from his aunt in the parking lot, he dialed the professor's phone number.
"What did you say?"
On the second floor of the travel agency, Professor Alexei, who was worried just a second ago and secretly disliked Wei Ran for disturbing his thoughts, suddenly stood up and said, "Have you investigated everything?"
"Everything has been investigated. I actually found the envelope I just mentioned and the bunch of keys on the ceiling of the garage yesterday. I just followed the address and looked at it and found a memoir manuscript with careful details on it.
It describes everything that happened at that time.”
Wei Ran didn't know that Professor Alexei had almost compiled a thrilling air battle and a forgotten legendary hero at this time. He just casually picked out what he could say and briefly described it to his foreign uncle.
.
"Why didn't you say anything yesterday?" Alexei asked angrily.
"You didn't ask"
Wei Ran pouted at the other party pretending to be proud, and suggested before the other party could speak, "Professor, I think you should contact the person who sold you the house, and I also want to inform Mr. Ruslan at the museum.
"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hmm... That's a good idea!"
Professor Alexei guessed Wei Ran's thoughts by the way, and agreed happily and said, "I'm going to call the person who sold the house to me right now. My good nephew, how about we meet at the travel agency later?"
Glancing out of the car window at the travel agency that was only across the road from him, Wei Ran agreed with a smile, then directly stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the parking space in front of the travel agency.
Less than half a minute later, Professor Alexey ran out with the phone in hand, opened the car door and got in the passenger seat. At the same time, Weiran also dialed Ruslan's phone number and said in front of
In front of the professor, he explained the discovery process just now.
After Wei Ran finished speaking, Ruslan immediately said excitedly, "Mr. Victor, I will apply now. Tomorrow morning at the latest, we can go and have a look at the house you just mentioned."
Seeing Wei Ran making a questioning gesture towards him, Professor Alexei immediately nodded and gave a silent thumbs up.
"Mr. Ruslan, maybe we can hurry up."
Wei Ran paused and continued, "We just contacted the previous owner who sold the house to Professor Alexei. Although he didn't know the existence of that house at all, he is currently in Sta... Volga
Gullah, he is willing to come with us to have a look."
"Mr. Victor, the integrity and selflessness of you and Professor Alex are really admirable."
Ruslan first complimented, and then immediately said, "In that case, let's meet at the gate of Mamayev Hill? I'll go down and wait for you and Professor Alexei now."
"See you soon then"
Wei Ran smiled and hung up the phone, then immediately turned around and asked, "Will the former landlord come?"
"He is already on the way," Professor Alexei replied with suppressed excitement, "He is not far from us, right in the city center."
"Inform him to meet at the entrance of the museum!"
Wei Ran stepped on the accelerator again as he spoke, and at the same time he didn't forget to ask, "By the way, what's his name?"
"Felix, what's wrong?" Professor Alexei asked confused.
"No, it's nothing, it's a really good name." Wei Ran responded perfunctorily, not bothering to discuss whether it was necessary to pass down a good name to three generations.
When I slowly and deliberately walked in a circle and arrived at the entrance of the museum, which was only a few hundred meters away, a well-proportioned and slightly balding middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time holding a gunmetal gray van. Although he was standing through the window,
But Wei Ran could already see clearly that there was a middle-aged woman sitting in the van, as well as three little girls who looked like high school students at most, and a young man who looked to be at least in his early 20s.
When Wei Ran stepped on the brakes and Professor Alexei opened the car door and got out, the middle-aged man immediately came up to him and excitedly pulled the former and started asking questions.
It's a pity that Wei Ran didn't have time to elaborate on the content of the story just now, and Professor Alexei was busy making up stories before that. Naturally, he was a little embarrassed at this time because he couldn't answer the question.
Fortunately, before the engine was turned off, Ruslan also drove a van and came over with several staff members holding cameras.
After the two parties introduced themselves, the three vehicles made a small counterclockwise circle around Mamayev Hill and once again drove into the community where the Tongzi Building that Weiran had just visited was located.
Before going upstairs, Professor Alexei cleared his throat at Wei Ran's suggestion. After the two cameras were pointed at him, he explained the clues that Wei Ran had just told... no, it should be said that he had just made up the clues.
The discovery process was explained once, and then under Wei Ran's hint, he led the way up the stairs and opened the three adjacent rooms with the set of keys Wei Ran brought.
“I have an impression of this house”
The middle-aged man also named Felix held on to the security door of the middle room and said, "I was very young at that time, maybe only three or four years old. But I remember this room very clearly. At that time, I and I
My sister is watching a movie here.
Then suddenly one day, Uncle Neva took me away from here. From then on, I never came back. I... I always thought that this house was in a far away city, but I didn't expect that it was actually in Volgog.
Le!"
Wei Ran rubbed the tattoo on his left hand, patted the other party's shoulder, and congratulated him in a gentle tone, "Mr. Felix, welcome home."
