War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 309 The New Tricks of the Two Teachers
Under the leafless oak tree, Katenka shrugged regretfully, "Okay, that's the end of this matter."

"Will the other party notice that you have investigated this matter?" Wei Ran asked cautiously.

"will not"

Katenka was extremely confident about this, "Even if you check, you can't find out about me, so you can rest assured about this matter."

"That's good." Wei Ran secretly heaved a sigh of relief, changed the subject in a timely manner and asked, "How is the investigation on the smuggler going?"

"It hasn't started yet"

Katenka took the last sip of Coke, then squeezed the can and stuffed it into the pocket of the windbreaker, "Before, all my energy was put on Mrs. Amanda's affairs, but before Christmas, I will definitely find out the identity of the smuggler. matter."

"You can arrange the schedule yourself"

Wei Ran walked towards the car parked not far away, and said at the same time, "Kajianka, let me remind you one last time, this is the end of Amanda's affairs, no matter how valuable the hydrological information she is looking for, no matter what you think How simple this matter is, this matter ends here."

"Understood." Katenka simply responded to Wei Ran's reminder, and walked back to the car step by step.

Wei Ran did not allow the other party to continue to investigate Amanda. Apart from the advice given to him by the two teachers when he was in Inta, the main reason was that it was clearly recorded in the metal book that Leo had already died. People are dead, and most of the so-called hydrological information has sunk in the sea long ago.

In other words, if Katenka continued to investigate along this clue, apart from causing a whole lot of trouble, he was doomed to not even get any benefits.

On the way back, Kajianka, who was in charge of driving, asked after deliberation, "Boss, what should I investigate next?"

"If you don't have a job, what do you do?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"I used to run a bookstore, but now I run restaurants and bars." Katenka slightly slowed down the car, "Although it's very boring, this kind of life is also very good."

"Don't you have any personal hobbies?"

"Of course there is"

While talking, Katenka pressed the button on the dashboard, and suddenly, manic heavy metal music sounded in the car.

"This is my hobby!" Katenka yelled over the music that almost burst through the eardrums.

"Then do something you like!"

"What did you say?" asked Katenka, turning the volume down a little.

"I said, go do something you like."

Wei Ran pretended to be exaggerated and picked out his ears, "I don't usually need you to investigate too many things, and that restaurant doesn't have to be open all the time. You can do something you like in normal time."

"You are such a good boss"

Kajianka took out a can of Coke from the storage box on the passenger seat, opened it and took a sip, but did not clearly respond to Wei Ran's suggestion just now.

Seeing this, Wei Ran simply stopped talking, and just signaled the other party to send him directly to the airport.Although this hasty trip didn't yield any gains, it allowed him to see Kajianka's ability, and generally speaking, it wasn't a loss.

When he returned to Volgograd after traveling all the way, it was already a day later.Went to Nikolai's house and moved the box of relics brought by Darya from Moscow back to the studio, but Wei Ran didn't have the intention to start an investigation immediately.

Because it took Sui Sui a week to send tourists to Inta, and now there are only three or four days left before he returns to Hongqi Forest Farm for class. What Wei Ran needs to do now is to relax himself.

As for the origins of the relics that the Museum of the Great Patriotic War asked me to investigate, anyway, there is still time, so naturally there is no need to worry.

It's just that he just slept in for a whole day, and early the next morning, that Mrs. Amanda came to the door alone.

"Mr. Victor, we meet again." Mrs. Amanda greeted in fluent German.

After shaking hands with the other party, Wei Ran made a surprised expression, "Hi, Mrs. Amanda, so you can speak German."

"It hasn't been used for a long time." Mrs. Amanda smiled gently, "Victor, can I go to your studio?"

"Of course! Please come in." Wei Ran enthusiastically greeted the other party into the studio, and at the same time wondered whether the other party's intention to come had something to do with Katenka's investigation.

After he poured him a cup of coffee, Mrs. Amanda said with a smile, "Your partner Herbert has been sent to prison for fraud and involvement in theft. If there is no accident, he may need to stay in prison."

"Please allow me to interrupt"

Wei Ran said with a surprised face, "First of all, Mr. Herbert and I are not partners. We only knew each other because of a short cooperation a few months ago. Secondly, you just said that Mr. Herbert is a fraud? He is not .”

Amanda also interrupted Wei Ran's unfinished sentence, "Herbert's matter is not important, Mr. Victor, can you help me continue to find my brother Leo?"

"this."

Wei Ran helplessly spread his hands, "Ms. Amanda, my main research direction and field of expertise are only the history of World War II and the historical mysteries of the Soviet-German battlefield. Although I am very sorry about your brother Mr. Leo, I am also very moved by the gold. Treasures, but unfortunately, that is not my field of expertise."

Mrs. Amanda's eyes flashed a complex look of slack and disappointment, but she said unwillingly, "According to Herbert, he once gave away my brother's wristwatch and IOU. It's been a long time with you."

"There is indeed such a thing"

Wei Ran spread his hands frankly, "But I wasn't there when he delivered the things, and I didn't receive any notice from him. The friends next door accepted those things for me. If you are worried that I will investigate the treasure in private If so, you can go to the front desk of the travel agency next door and ask, their travel agency’s monitoring will be kept for at least three months, which should be able to confirm what I said. Besides, you can also”

"No, no, Mr. Victor, please don't misunderstand me, I don't doubt you." Mrs. Amanda stood up simply, "If this is the case, then I won't bother you, I wish you a happy life."

"I also wish you to find your brother Mr. Leo and his treasure sooner." Wei Ran politely stood up and sent his sincere wishes.

Watching Mrs. Amanda drive away alone, Wei Ran also heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he became more and more sure of Katenka's investigation results. This old French lady is really not a good person.

Luckily escaped for the time being, Wei Ran directly locked the shutter door of the studio, then turned on the airplane mode of the mobile phone and threw it on the long table, turned around and went into the bedroom on the second floor to play and disappear.

Anyway, acquaintances will directly call the satellite phone after they can't reach themselves, so as long as the mobile phone number for contacting business can't be reached, all troubles can be blocked outside the rolling shutter door.

Sitting by the glass window of the bedroom on the second floor, Wei Ran took out the guqin Yaoguang, while lazily scratching the tight strings, while thinking about some ideas that came up in Inta's hot spring camp before, slowly perfecting them Every detail of it.

Three days later, when he was about to leave for Kazan, Mr. Gorman and Anna appeared at the door of the studio.

"Mr. Anna, Mr. Gorman, why are you here?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm here to teach you." Gorman walked into Wei Ran's studio on his own as he spoke, "Just you?"

"just me"

Wei Ran greeted Teacher Anna to sit down, and said while making coffee, "If you come a little later, I'm going to the airport."

Teacher Anna said, "Cancel the ticket, and we will have classes in another place for the next half month."

"Where are you going?" Wei Ran stopped his hands and asked.

Gorman took out half a bottle of gin from Wei Ran's refrigerator, unscrewed it and sniffed it, then sat down next to Wei Ran and said, "Go to Kazakhstan for class."

"Why are you going there?" Wei Ran asked in confusion, as for the other party's behavior as if he was at his own home, he pretended not to see it.

"Go and close the shutter door first," Teacher Anna said while opening the briefcase she brought, and took out a file bag from it.

Hearing this, Wei Ran obediently locked the shutter door, and sat beside Gorman after being greeted by him.

"You've been studying intelligence courses for a long time, so the next half month is practical courses."

Anna paused, then continued with a gentle face, "Of course, you can also take the next class as an assessment."

"Another assessment?" Wei Ran frowned, recounting his study experience at the Hongqi Forest Farm, he had almost no pleasant memories of each assessment.

"This time is different from the previous assessment"

Anna opened the file bag, took out a document from it and handed it to Wei Ran, "Based on what happened in Yakutsk last time, this time we won't arrange any nanny for you like Karp did, and you have to do everything yourself Let’s finish, let’s take a look at the information now.”

After receiving the materials handed over by the other party, there were only four color photos on the first sheet of paper.On the second sheet were photos of two off-road vehicles.On the third piece of paper was a detailed address accurate to the house number of a certain hotel located in Uralsk, a city in the northwest of Kazakhstan.

On the last page, there is a photo of an Asian man, and under the photo, the name "Anton Thorne" is written in Russian.

Seeing that Wei Ran put down the documents in his hand, Anna took out a certificate and two air tickets from the briefcase and handed them to Wei Ran, "For tonight's flight, you fly to Orenburg first, and when you get there, contact the person in the certificate. The phone number on a business card, and someone will take you across the border to the Urals."

"Smuggling?" Wei Ran frowned.

"Not a smuggling"

Anna explained with a smile, "When you arrived in Orenburg, your name was Anton Sohn, a pure Kazakh. You have seen his photo just now. As for whether you can send your own It depends on your own ability to change your face to look like the person in the photo."

Wei Ran opened the certificate and looked at it, then raised his head and asked, "What do I need for this assessment?"
