War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1132 The person ignored by Wei Ran

"Ah"

In the slightly dilapidated small courtyard, Wei Ran snorted undisguisedly, stood up, looked around and asked, "Can I live here today?"

"Yes, of course."

Diane nodded before the ghost woman named Jordan spoke, "Mr. Little Mesut said that if you can find any clues, it's okay to tear this place down, but you'd better find valuable clues."

Unobtrusively glanced at Jordan who was hesitant to speak, Wei Ran stepped into the room, "That's it, you can go to work first, if it's convenient, just send me a dinner, preferably Chinese food ,Thanks."

"no problem"

Diane nodded happily, "Do you need to prepare bedding? It's winter after all, and no one has lived here for a long time."

"Need not"

While speaking, Wei Ran took out a pair of rubber gloves and pretended to put them on. At the same time, he said, "If I feel cold at night, I will call you. Now I am going to work."

"That's it. We'll have dinner as soon as possible."

Diane didn't give Jordan a chance to speak at all, so she took her out of the house and gave Wei Ran a working space.

"This Chinese person is too rude" Jordan couldn't help complaining to Diane after getting into her car.

Of course she knew Diane. A few years ago, this round woman had come here more than once to look for clues related to the missing Mr. Mesut. Although she had found nothing, at least she and Jordan were considered acquaintances.

"Ms. Jordan, please allow me to remind you." Diane said while closing the car door.

"What?" Jordan temporarily stopped working on starting the car.

"This house is the private property of Mr Mesut Jr."

Diane paused, then continued to speak in German, "Mr. Victor is a guest of Mr. Mesut Jr. He only needs permission from the owner of the house, Mr. Mesut Jr., to do anything in this house. No one else has any rights." put one's oar in."

"Can"

"in addition"

Diane smiled, "Victor is a well-known scholar who is proficient in the history of World War II, and he is even a Chinese. I don't know if you have seen the video of him being interviewed by Americans, but based on my understanding and contact with him, he No matter how bad the attitude towards the recruiter is, it is normal, especially not long ago, he was attacked by the recruiter.

Frankly speaking, I am very satisfied that he is willing to come here to investigate this matter.That's why I want your husband to come and receive us. You appeared here, and his attitude just now is considered very good. "

"But hasn't the war been over for a long time?" Jordan said subconsciously.

"what!"

Diane shook her head, "Victor is a historian, this is a group of people who are least likely to forget history, you expect him to forget what happened in history, it is better to expect Americans to forget who attacked Pearl Harbor. "

"Forget it, I can't tell you."

Jordan turned his head to look at the house outside the window, sighed regretfully, turned the key and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

"You want this house?" Diane asked abruptly.

“I grew up here after all”

Jordan said while increasing the speed of the car slightly, "There are many memories of my childhood in there, but I can't afford this house, it's too expensive."

"You should have a formal job," Diane said kindly.

"A full-time mother is also a job." After Jordan finished speaking, he changed the subject, "Where do we go next?"

"Go to Huaxia Restaurant, the best Huaxia Restaurant."

Diane paused and added, "Also, I'm afraid we need to buy some bedding and heating things."

"There was a kerosene heater in that house"

Jordan said reluctantly, "If I remember correctly, there is still a lot of kerosene, and the bedding really needs to be bought new."

"Then hurry up"

Diane urged, but at the same time she shook her head secretly in her heart. This woman who is not much younger than herself is really a bit stupid. She really shouldn't entertain Wei Ran with her identity and attitude as the hostess of that house.

While these two women with different thoughts were busy shopping for Wei Ran, Wei Ran himself had already made a rough tour of the first floor of the house.

To put it simply, the outline of the main building of this house is a "T" shape. The left half of the horizontal line above is the pointed garage seen outside the door, and the right half is a warehouse-like building. Room.

The vertical part of the T-shape is the various functional rooms, and the right half of the vertical and the horizontal are also the two sides of the small rectangular yard.

The other side of this vertical, the left half of that horizontal, and the small square area surrounded by the road are a flower garden that blocks the view.

After finding out the terrain and the structure of the room, Wei Ran first went to the first and second floors of the steeple-roofed warehouse to have a look.

The part of this floor is a cold drink shop that has obviously been closed for a long time. A small wooden bar, a few solid wood tables, an old refrigerator freezer, and a TV with a big butt are all.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the only thing I found was a few pornographic magazines from the 90s of last century.

On the second floor of the garage, when the curtains are drawn one by one, the four symmetrically distributed dormer windows and the triangular floor-to-ceiling windows facing the school across the road provide sufficient lighting for this fairly clean attic, but this is almost the same as the downstairs Although the large space was cleaned exceptionally clean, there were only a deck chair, an oil heater, and a Japanese-style shrine.

What made Wei Ran sneer was that the tablet enshrined in the shrine turned out to be the missing Mesut, and the name on the tablet was written in Russian.

"Hypocrisy." Wei Ran muttered with a sneer, then turned around and went to the connected warehouse to have a look.

Here is a structure that reaches to the top. In the space as large as the garage in front, there are some old-fashioned equipment for maintaining sports equipment such as skis, as well as some various skis that are still hanging on the top of the head with steel wires. Or ski clothes, mountaineering clothes, or even mountaineering picks hanging on the wall.And in the corner, there were several red plastic barrels filled with kerosene.

"So many things were blackmailed"

Wei Ran snorted coldly, turned and left the warehouse without a second floor, and checked the rooms with solid wood sliding doors on the first floor one by one.

Naturally, there were no clues in these rooms, but he saw another shrine.Unlike just now, the incense burner in this shrine is still full of incense ash, and the tablets enshrined in the shrine have also been wiped clean, and you can even faintly smell the residual smell after burning incense.

The ones on these tablets are naturally Toshiro Koyama with the Japanese name of Ihor written on it, and several people with the same surname, and looking at the descriptions on the tablets, there is a high probability that these tablets were placed here by the woman named Jordan of.

"It's so embarrassing to provide for my father and grandparents in other people's homes."

While talking, Wei Ran took down these tablets and knocked on each other. Seeing that there was no interlayer, he randomly threw them back to their original positions.

Soon, Wei Ran, who found nothing, climbed up to the second floor. The difference between the second floor and the first floor is not that big, but it can be clearly seen that this place has become a place to pile up sundries a long time ago.

Perhaps it was due to the spirit of the devil's attack sauce, these sundries were neatly cleaned up. Not only was there a paper on the door of each room where the sundries were placed, it was written in Japanese what the contents were, and even these sundries were written belong to whom.

However, when he opened a sliding door, he found that the things here were far more than what was written on the paper. Some of the cardboard boxes full of children's toys had production dates written in 2015.

Leaving the second floor with nothing, Wei Ran first took a bucket of kerosene from the warehouse, then climbed up to the attic on the second floor of the garage, and after some groping, lit the kerosene heater that he had only seen in devil cartoons before.

When the kerosene heater began to emit a steady stream of heat, outside the triangular floor-to-ceiling windows, the elementary school on the opposite side of the road was already out of school, and the road was also bustling.

Pulling the recliner over and rubbing it carelessly, Wei Ran sat behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, secretly wondering if there were any valuable clues in this house that were not found.

Among them, what concerned him the most was that the ghost woman mentioned that the money that Yihor sold the house had disappeared.

Obviously, being able to say that it was "missing" rather than "stolen" must have been confirmed.So where did that money go?

Although he didn't know the value of the house sold to Mr. Mesut Jr. in a shameless manner, it would not be a small sum of money after all. So, what did Ihor want this money for?

Inexplicably, he remembered another thing. Back then, he stabbed Ihor with a knife and sprinkled salt on the wound, so he clearly remembered that Ihor was not from Sapporo, but from Hiroshima Man, this devil seems to have said that if he can go back alive, he will open an izakaya.

So, could the missing money be related to this?Could it be that this devil really plans to open an izakaya?

Besides, what does he do in the yard in winter?There was nothing in the small yard except for a broken motorcycle and a big crooked tree.

It stands to reason that there is no need for an old thing who is dying and has some minor disabilities to go to the yard in winter.

After thinking about it, Wei Ran, who just sat down, inexplicably remembered the welded iron gate.

Get up and go downstairs, leave the room from the entrance and go around the iron door, Wei Ran can't help grinning, this small door on the wall is not only welded from the inside, but the outside has also been tightly bricked. Strictly.

On the other hand, there is an open-air parking space next to the wall next to the door. Above the parking space is the crown of the tree that has lost all its leaves.

Looking at the other side of the road, Wei Ran couldn't help raising his eyebrows, there was a red mailbox that looked very old.

Is it possible to send a letter?But it's 2002, why not play
and many more!

Wei Ran was stunned suddenly, he thought of a person, whom he had ignored.Or to be more precise, a person who is not even mentioned in the metal book, but who actually exists!
