War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 316 Tassie's Heart Disease, Charlotte's Reminder
"Mr. Victor, would you like to sit in my studio?"

After dealing with Charlotte, Taci, who was wearing a protective suit, took the initiative to say to Wei Ran, "I heard Mr. Charlotte talk about your investigation process. It just so happened that I also have something about my grandfather. I would like to ask you Help with the investigation."

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

Wei Ran nodded with a smile, at this moment he was absolutely sure that the other party had recognized him.But where did Taxi recognize him, he didn't even think about it for a while.

At the beginning, he not only changed his skin color, hairstyle, face shape, and even his voice, but this time, he also specially changed into a set of clothes that he didn't wear last time.

It stands to reason that such a set, not to mention hiding it from Taxi, who had only met two or three times, even the girls who attended classes together at the Hongqi Forest Farm, could not get him and Jima out of a coffee shop in Kazan. picked out.

Following Taxi who was wearing a protective suit and leaving the house, Wei Ran looked at Taxi who was tiptoeing towards the oak tree between the two houses, and finally suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed.

What surprised him even more was that this time Tassie took him into the wooden house where he lived, and it was enough to just take off his shoes and put on a protective suit.

"Aren't you worried that I will dirty your studio?" Wei Ran couldn't help asking.

"It's ok"

Tassie, who was walking in front, said without looking back, "Christmas is coming soon. Before Christmas, we usually clean the room after Matthew's parents come back. So although you will really dirty the place if you come in , but I just need to advance the cleaning time by a few days.”

After finishing speaking, Taci turned back to look at Wei Ran, and asked with an unusually certain tone, "So you are Mr. Nicholas?"

"Can you tell me where you got it from?" Wei Ran asked noncommittally.

"teeth"

There was some self-mockery in Tassie's tone, "In addition to being a clean freak, I also have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. I noticed your teeth the first time I chatted with you through mobile video."

"My teeth?" Wei Ran didn't know why, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen. There seemed to be nothing wrong with his teeth.

"Don't look at it, your teeth are very neat, but the canine tooth on the right is too obvious, so I, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, wanted to suggest you wear braces when I first saw it." Taci spread her hands, "Even that day In my dreams at night, I pull out your teeth for you."

outrageous
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect the flaw to be in his canine tooth, let alone this canine tooth that he was so proud of when he was a child could force an obsessive-compulsive disorder to pull it out even in his dreams.

Tassie spread an additional disposable non-woven fabric cushion on a white sofa, and after asking Wei Ran to sit on it, she sat on another sofa opposite the table and said, "But I invite you to sit on it." Sitting isn't about discussing your orthodontics."

"I don't think you are investigating your grandfather, Mr. Trento?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"It really has nothing to do with my grandfather"

Tassie stretched out two fingers, "I mainly want to talk to you about two things. Of course, the reasons for these two things are all on my own, but I still hope you can help me."

"Come on, what's the matter?" Wei Ran asked cheerfully, since the other party had already recognized his identity, there was no need to hide it.

"The first thing has to do with the woman you sent to run the restaurant"

Tasi said distressed and embarrassed, "Mr. Victor, or Mr. Nicholas, no matter what I call you, can you let that woman clean up her room? I went to that restaurant once after it opened, and I didn't mean to I saw the room behind the bar, and that room was... almost. more disgusting than the muddy ground by the pond outside."

Seeing that Wei Ran was about to say something, Tassie continued apologetically, "I know my request is too much, but I grew up in that room, and seeing how messed up it was by her. I was having nightmares all the time, and I even went to a psychiatrist about it."

"Forehead"

Wei Ran grinned, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond to this question. Although Katenka was indeed his employee, Tassie was indeed the landlord of that bar.But at the same time, Katenka's own living habits, no matter whether he or Taxi sitting opposite him, really have no right to interfere. After all, the original lease agreement did not mention the need for people living there to maintain personal hygiene.

"That... What's the second thing?" Wei Ran asked after shelving the question for the time being.

"The second thing has to do with my OCD"

Taci rubbed his head wrapped in protective clothing irritably, got up and picked up an acrylic glass box and a small stainless steel box from the table next to the wall and pushed them to Wei Ran, "This is something you paid for me to process last time. "

Glancing at the warhead contained in the glass box, Wei Ran did not touch the second small stainless steel box, but looked up at Taxi, waiting for the other party to continue talking.

"I can probably guess it's a bullet"

Tassie opened the small stainless steel box on her own, "After finishing the finishing work, I began to wonder what it was used for, and then I processed these bullets based on the information I found on the Internet. shell."

Looking at the brass bullet casings that can be used as mirrors in the tea bucket-sized stainless steel box in order of length, Wei Ran frowned.

"What do you want to do?"

Wei Ran asked in a calm tone as much as possible, but in his heart he thought it was a pity that it was nothing if Tassie guessed that those things were bullets. It is destined to be unable to be used in illegal occasions.

"I'm really just curious about what kind of bullet casings those bullets are used on." Tassie's tone became more and more distressed. "This may seem like a trivial matter to you, but to me, it's enough."

"It's for this type of bullet casing"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Wei Ran simply picked out a Solothurn long ammunition shell from a box of brass shells and put it on the table. By the way, he came up with the reason for fooling Professor Alexei, "Summer At that time, a client of mine wanted to order from me”

"No, no, no." Tassie also waved her hand without waiting for Wei Ran to finish speaking, "Just let me know what shell casings are for, that's the only thing I'm struggling with."

Speaking of this, Tassie let out a sigh of relief, "Now I finally don't have to keep thinking about this matter in my heart."

"You don't need to think about it, I'll start thinking about it now." Wei Ran muttered to himself, and finally decided to treat it as the bullets that had not been ordered from the other party before. Anyway, Mr. Charlotte paid for it , I am not at a loss.

"Victor, I'll just call you Victor."

Unaware that she had just escaped from Wei Ran's extermination list, Taci asked anxiously, "The first thing"

"First thing, I'm going to ask her."

Wei Ran spread his hands helplessly, "She is just an employee I recruited casually. Of course, I admit that I got this position because she is beautiful enough, but this is not the reason why I can interfere in her personal life, is it?"

"Well then."

Taci sighed, "I admit, that woman runs the pasta restaurant and bar very well. If she can change her hygiene habits, I can even reduce the rent next year."

Wei Ran looked at the "reckless" cleanliness across the table, and gave an ambiguous promise, "I can only talk to the other party about this matter, but I can't force her."

Taci nodded immediately when she heard the words, "Then please, if you can really make that room clean, I will give you a gift."

"I wish I could get your gift"

Having said that, Wei Ran pointed to another house outside the window, "In exchange, how about keeping this matter a secret from Mr. Charlotte?"

"Deal!" Tassie stood up and said flatly.

Seeing that the other party had obviously had enough of sitting in his house, Wei Ran took his leave at the right time.

Charlotte had just come out of another house when he came out of Tassie's room and put on the shoes left by the door again.

"Are you done talking?"

Seeing that Wei Ran nodded, Charlotte said, "It just so happens that I also have some things I want to talk to you alone, so how about going back to the city with me? I've already arranged the hotel."

"sure"

Wei Ran, who also didn't want to stay here any longer, waved goodbye to Matthew's family immediately, and followed Charlotte into the car.

"I thought you would spend more time with them." Wei Ran said after waiting for the car to run.

"We've actually been together for almost a week," Charlotte said with a tired expression, "These two families are really amazing."

"This evaluation is also amazing," Wei Ran joked.

"It goes without saying that Tasi, who has a cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, I didn't even have a chance to enter his house."

Charlotte lit a cigar, then lowered the car window and continued, "Mr. Golan and his wife, Ms. Marta, all the interests and topics of these two people are on Antarctic environmental protection issues and various Italian cuisines. In fact, I have never even heard the Italian words that come out of their mouths, and I can only communicate with them by gestures."

"This gesture?" Wei Ran asked with a suppressed smile while holding a chicken paw gesture.

Seeing this, Charlotte also made the same gesture, but both parties understood what the other party wanted to express from this almost identical gesture.

After this little tacit understanding, Charlotte continued with a bitter face, "The only normal one is their child Matthew, that little guy is very smart, but it's too pitiful for him to take care of so many people. Oh oh oh, I almost forgot, he still has an aunt who is afraid to see people and needs to take care of him."

"Mr. Charlotte didn't call me from Russia just to complain, did he?" Wei Ran asked dumbfounded.

"It's about Herbert"

Charlotte puffed and said, "That guy is in jail, he didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

"No." Wei Ran spread his hands, "I'm not familiar with him"

"That's good"

Charlotte immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Victor, you have to be careful, I got the news that soon after Herbert went to prison, two of his assistants died, and almost the first time I knew the news Two days later, someone asked me to find out about him."

"His assistant is dead?" Wei Ran asked in surprise, "He still has assistants? And there are still two?"

"Of course there are assistants"

Charlotte said as a matter of course, "It's two Australians. When Herbert took you to see me in Fort Augustus, they tried to kidnap you, but they were stopped by my friend Matt. After all, descendants of British prisoners, it's not surprising to do such a thing, is it?"

"Mr. Charlotte, thank you for your reminder and your selfless help at that time."

Wei Ran said gratefully to the other party, the old man has not been in touch with him for at least half a year, and now he can still think about himself, which is absolutely benevolent.

"Thank you for helping me find my father's treasure," Charlotte said with a smile, "By the way, thank you in advance for making their story into a movie."
