War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 509 Return to Kazan

After discovering Shenhu's half-track motorcycle, and confirming that he couldn't find any valuable clues on it.Professor Alexis left the task of continuing to search for clues to Wei Ran, while he, Akim, and Asi, who seemed to have no intention of leaving, practiced something like being soaked in a wine glass. It is called "the sea of ​​wine is boundless, and you will never turn back when you die.".

On the contrary, the Finnish boy named Kruger, although he doesn’t talk much, is extraordinarily diligent. Every day he either takes a metal detector to help Wei Ran find clues that he missed, or takes his dog to patrol the forest, and occasionally Bring back some game that is forbidden to kill this season.

Five days passed in a flash. During these five days, Wei Ran, who was already paddling, really made some small discoveries. Among these discoveries, apart from some rusted animal traps, there were also Includes a surviving human mandible, and a German soldier's plaque found around the shelter.

Wei Ran could tell that piece of human mandible only from its position. He probably came from the dead bone under the bathtub.

But he has no memory of the soldier card at all. When he snatched the half-track to escape in the blizzard, he didn't participate in the work of searching for the corpses, and he didn't notice whether Kang Tan and the others even touched the soldiers on the necks of the German corpses. Take the cards with you.

Even though there are so many uncertainties, what is certain is that this small soldier card is definitely an important clue.

"checked"

Wei Ran hung up the call from Diane, looked around at the people who were looking at him, reached out and picked up the soldier card placed on the outdoor folding table and shook it, "According to the information found by the Edelweiss Organization, this soldier card The owner of the card is from the 6th Engineer Battalion under the 6th Northern Mountain Division of the Stall Army."

"And what else?" Professor Alexey asked.

"According to the available records, this soldier named Florian was killed on December 1943, 12. After his death, he was posthumously awarded a second-class Iron Cross because he tried to prevent Prisoner of war riots.

In addition, in August 1943, before this, the unlucky guy also received an Iron War Wound Medal because he was deaf in one ear during an air raid. After he recovered from the injury, he was assigned to the 8th Engineer Battalion logistics unit. "

"The War Wound Medal after 43 years is rubbish," Professor Alexey sneered, "it is worth less than a 7-ruble banknote."

"Why don't I remember that a banknote with a denomination of 7 rubles was issued?" Akim asked suspiciously.

"Fake money" Wei Ran handed the soldier card in his hand to Akim, "The fake money printed by an idiot may have a face value of 7 rubles."

"Isn't that just waste paper?"

"Finely Printed Scrap"

Professor Alexei added beamingly, "This information is enough. Following this clue, we may soon be able to find out what happened at that time from the Finnish or German officials."

"If there is no accident, it will probably be found out soon." Wei Ran nodded in agreement, and was muttering in his heart, is there no accident?No surprises!

"This soldier card came in time," Professor Alexey thought. "About this time tomorrow, Mr. Alexander should arrive with reporters and Finnish official staff."

"Professor, since Mr. Alexander is coming soon, I think I should leave too." Wei Ran said abruptly.

"Are you planning to leave at this time?" Akim looked at Wei Ran puzzled.

“Really time to leave”

Professor Alexei nodded. Wei Ran didn't plan to show up in the next interview. This matter was discussed between the two of them before the half-track motorcycle got out of the water a few days ago. As for the reason, of course. I don't want to steal Mr. Alexander's limelight.

However, there is no need to explain these reasons to Akim and others, so Professor Alexei explained, "Victor is going to Egypt soon, and the itinerary has been planned long ago. If Akim is convenient , you send him back."

"Now?" Akeem asked, turning his head.

"Or you can sober up first." Wei Ran said with a smile, "Yesterday my aunt called me, and she is going to go back, so you have to connect her up."

Akim subconsciously covered his mouth and let out a sigh, then frowned and said, "Alexis, lend me your alcohol tester."

"in the tent"

Professor Alexey pointed behind him and said, "But it can only display up to 20, so you'd better get some sleep first."

"really!"

Wei Ran unobtrusively turned off the recording function that had been turned on secretly just now, secretly thinking about when he would cheat his father-in-law.

"8 hours later!"

Akim stopped immediately, "I'm going to sleep first, Victor, wake me up in 8 hours, and then we'll go back."

"I'll wake you up then"

Wei Ran responded with a smile, although the matter of going to Egypt was an excuse, it was also a fact.Jima even called yesterday. Judging from what the other party said, it seems that Karp has rented a boat and is going to transport all the shooting equipment and supplies to Egypt.And when he called, he asked Wei Ran if he wanted to transport his armored pickup truck there.

Of course, Wei Ran would not refuse this kind of thing. Although he has never been to Egypt, he also knows that in such a ghostly place, it is definitely more comfortable to have a reliable car.

Scattering the thoughts in his mind, Wei Ran took advantage of the last eight hours to sort out his work arrangements for the next period of time.

The first one is naturally the filming trip to Egypt. Besides, the commission from Mr. Edward from England, he also plans to wait until he arrives in Egypt before taking time to solve it.

By the time she returned from Egypt, Sui Sui had probably already arrived in Kazan, and she would definitely have to follow her to Inta.

After such a calculation, he found that although he no longer had to go to Hongqi Forest Farm to attend classes, he seemed to be busier instead.

"Treasure the last few hours of leisure time." Wei Ran muttered to himself, and strolled back to his own tent.

Eight hours later, Akim drove his plane to take off on the calm lake. After circling, he chose a direction and started the return journey with Wei Ran.As for Professor Alexei, naturally he will continue to stay and live his happy life.

First fly back to Plassey Village to pick up my aunt Zhou Shujin who is also on vacation, and Akim sent them both to the airport non-stop.

Until bidding farewell to Akim, the aunt Zhou Shujin, who showed everyone's ladylike demeanor along the way, immediately asked, "Your uncle hasn't been drinking less these days, right?"

"I don't know." With an innocent face, Wei Ran gave an answer that was more affirmative than an affirmative answer.

"Take care of him when he goes back!" Zhou Shujin gritted her teeth and said a cruel word.

Before Wei Ran could say anything, Zhou Shujin was already sitting on the chair in the waiting hall, and she was not in a hurry to check in her luggage, but continued to ask without haste, "When will that girl Suisui come over?"

"Half a month later," Wei Ran sat next to Zhou Shujin and replied, "She is now helping to build a house at grandma's house, and it is said that she is fooling a few old masons in the village."

"Fooling the mason?" Zhou Shujin looked at Wei Ran suspiciously.

The latter spread her hands, "Didn't she already take over the operation of the Inta camp?"

"These two are related?" Zhou Shujin became more and more puzzled.

"Of course it does"

Wei Ran explained dumbfoundingly, "I heard from her that many hunter huts were built around the hot spring camp on the Inta side, and she and Jima discussed how to arrange a big kang for those hunter huts."

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhou Shujin's eyes widened, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face, "Is she planning to invite those uncles and uncles to Inta to guide the work?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Wei Ran continued, "Speaking of which, Jima's friends should be blamed for this matter. I heard that the earth pits they created by themselves either poured smoke upside down and choked people to death, or the kang was on fire like a cremator. Sui Sui couldn't help it either. Otherwise, she would have come here long ago."

"nonsense"

Zhou Shujin muttered, and then said, "Your boy has taken a fancy to that girl, especially remember to remind her not to bring anyone who is too old, and don't bring those famous Jiumengzi in the village, otherwise it will be really serious. We can't afford to worry about what happens to us."

"Don't worry." Wei Ran patted his chest and made a reassurance, "Grandma and grandpa are watching, and Sui Sui is a ghost, I must have thought of it a long time ago."

"When will you two get married?" Zhou Shujin asked abruptly.

"This." Wei Ran grinned, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Zhou Shujin patted Wei Ran's shoulder with satisfaction, "Go check your luggage."

"Then you rest first." Wei Ran, who had been pardoned, hurriedly stood up, dragged the two people's luggage and ran away without a trace.

When the two rushed back to Kazan, Wei Ran, who had been in the extreme daylight for nearly a week, finally ushered in the long-lost night.

By the time Wei Ran drove his armored pickup truck and took his aunt back to the shore of Kaban Lake, Jima had already been waiting in a dirty van for a long time.

"Victor, you're finally back."

Jima waited for Wei Ran to open the car door, and immediately leaned his upper body out of the car window and shouted, "Get ready to go to the train station with me, everything must be loaded and transported to Sochi tonight."

"Wait for me a moment." Wei Ran jumped out of the driver's cab and opened the locked courtyard door while speaking.

After driving the car all the way to the door, Wei Ran said before pushing the door open again, "Auntie, I'll go to the train station first, do I need to bring something back later?"

"No need." Zhou Shujin, who was sitting in the back row, yawned, "I just had dinner on the plane, so I won't fire at night. If you're hungry, just eat something with Ji Ma outside."

Hearing this, Wei Ran didn't say anything else, and helped the other party send the luggage of the two into the room, then picked up the briefcase that Edward had sent and threw it into the armored pickup truck, then turned around and followed Jima. To the direction of the train station.

　I heard that 81192 is still guarding our sea.
