War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 627 Unable to Find Clues
After resting in the hotel for a whole day, before Wei Ran decided to return to Kazan, he also put all the archives that Xia Chuan's grandson Xia Shushi sold to him into the food box.

To his surprise, all the specially prepared food and drink in the food box had been emptied, leaving only the PSS pistol that Katenka asked to bring to Russia on the upper floor, and the pistol that was obtained from the desert. kerosene lighters, and mailbox authenticators that have lost their existence.

But on the second floor of the food box, there is an English version of the "1952 Prisoner of War Camp Inter-Olympic Commemorative Book".

Gently flipping through this book, in today's era, the printing is definitely not a beautiful souvenir book.Wei Ran saw the message written in dark blue pen at a glance:

Literally
Dear comrades, the gift has been received.Accept this gift too - the peace we have created with our own hands.

"We have kept this gift very well."

Wei Ran muttered something to himself, and after thinking for a while, he took out the piano case containing Guqin Yaoguang from the metal book.

He tried to put the commemorative book into the piano case together with the hat badge he got back then, and took back the metal book, and he was a little relieved.

Put the hard disk full of data and the hawthorn leaf tea that Zhao Shengli had sent into the empty food box as much as possible and put it in the metal book. Wei Ran had no regrets, left the hotel with a small amount of luggage, and boarded the plane. Flight to Kazan.

After careful calculation, half a month has passed since he promised to help Katenka go to Italy to pick up things.

In the past half month, the only one employee under Wei Ran not only successfully changed jobs, but also changed from one to two.

Secondly, he also experienced all the stories related to that cap badge as he wished.Although it's a pity that I couldn't go to the Olympic Games in person to make gestures, and the broken book even arranged a [-]-day assassination mission for myself.

But no matter what, at least seeing Chen Qi, at least seeing Zhao Shengli, at least seeing Xia Chuan, at least knowing that they are doing well, that's enough.

The most important thing right now, of course, is to rush back to Kazan as soon as possible, and meet the other party before Sui Sui brings those mason uncles back from Inta.By the way, make some preparations for the assassination mission.

Among other things, at the very least, he could take out the poisonous needles that Katenka gave him when he first met him, and put them in a food box for preparation.

"I haven't visited that veteran Leva yet, and learned how to use film cameras from him."

While thinking about it, Wei Ran recorded this matter in the memo using pronouns that only he could understand.

In his planning for the next itinerary, the flight also landed at Kazan Airport smoothly.

However, when he drove back to the large yard by Lake Kaban, he saw from a distance under an oak tree in the center of the yard, a girl in a skirt was sitting on a deckchair typing a notebook.

"Katenka?"

When Wei Ran found the other party, the other party naturally also found the armored pickup truck driving from the side of the road to the gate of the yard.

Before Wei Ran got out of the car and opened the door, Kajianka on the recliner picked up the remote control on the small table next to him and pressed lightly. Immediately afterwards, the cast iron gate was slowly opened under the drive of the solenoid valve.Although this technology is not new, it is a function that did not exist before.

Seeing this, Wei Ran, who had just untied his seat belt, simply took out the food box under the cover of the instrument panel, and took out the micro-sound pistol from it and put it in his trousers pocket. Then he stepped on the accelerator again and turned the car Drive straight under the oak tree.

"Anfya Karenina Katenka"

The girl who stood up from the recliner did not wait for Wei Ran who had just opened the car door to ask, and introduced herself, "I was the one who met you in Italy half a month ago. Besides, where is the gun?"

"Bring you back"

While speaking, Wei Ran took out the silent pistol from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "Why are you here?"

"Aurora's Arrangement"

Katenka Kazanfenka, who bears a new name of "Anfeya", took the pistol and inspected it carefully, and then explained unhurriedly, "She asked me to come back early to arrange the future office space, By the way, buy some daily necessities for me and my sister's room. Of course, I have to take care of the chickens, ducks, geese and those two little guys in the yard."

Following the finger of the other party, I saw that beside the reclining chair, the two big-eared foxes with African household registration were lying on the wet sand dug up with their legs upside down. On the necks of the two little things, there were separate Tied with a red and blue bow.There was even a box of goat milk and a small palm-sized feeding bottle on the small table beside the recliner.

How come you became a live-in nanny after being a secret agent?

Wei Ran muttered to himself, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you received the new identity?"

"received"

Anfeya took out a brand new passport from her pocket and said, "Misha helped my sister and I get a new identity, a native Vorkuta."

"Congratulations." While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken the suitcase out of the car, and walked straight to the door not far away.

Anfeiya was stunned when she heard the words, put the passport and the small pistol in her pocket together, then picked up the two little foxes and chased after them, and responded with a "thank you" quite expectantly.

"Did you go shopping with your sister?" Wei Ran asked while looking around after pushing open the concealed door.

In just half a month, there have been several solid wood desks on the first floor, and on top of them are several computers and some monitors of unknown purpose.In addition, there are some unknown potted plants on the windowsill.

“Have been in Inta”

Anfeiya put down the two dirty little foxes in her arms, closed the door and followed Wei Ran and continued to walk upstairs while happily saying, "We went to see the movie that Mr. Jima participated in, and we were still in Misha At the invitation of Aurora and Aurora, we tasted the best local restaurant in Inta, and the two of us went together."

"When they come back, you can also hang out in Kazan." Wei Ran paused, "Speaking of this, when will they come back?"

"They may not come back for a while"

An Feiya explained, "According to my sister, the engineers from Huaxia are instructing the locals to build vegetable greenhouses in the past few days, so the original scheduled return time has to be pushed back."

"Vegetable greenhouse?"

Wei Ran froze for a moment, then shook his head dumbfounded, there is no need to think about it, this kind of thing is probably not Sui Sui's brain at all, but it is most likely the idea of ​​those bricklayer uncles.

Looking at the vegetable seedlings surrounded by fences outside the window, he has even roughly figured out why those uncles helped build the vegetable greenhouse.

"Don't talk about them, what are you busy with?" Wei Ran changed the subject directly.

"The office space on the first floor was just set up this morning, and all kinds of office supplies needed were purchased and debugged. According to the original plan, I plan to conduct the final inspection tomorrow and then rush back to Inta."

"Since you're not busy for now, help me investigate something first."

Wei Ran pushed open the bedroom door while speaking, "Wait for me downstairs, I'll change my clothes first and go down."

"Okay." Before Anfeiya could finish her sentence, she turned around and went downstairs.

When the back of the other party was blocked by the corner of the stairs, Wei Ran heaved a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and entered the bedroom.

After carefully inspecting the room to make sure there was nothing left, he took out the food box, took out the hard drive inside and the hawthorn leaves that Zhao Shengli had given him, and then climbed up to the attic on the top floor to find the safe from the hidden safe. The deadly poison was taken out of the tank and some ammunition was loaded into the freshly emptied food box.

Returning to the second floor empty-handed, he took the hard drives full of documents and handed them all over to Anfeiya who was waiting on the first floor, "The information inside seems to be encrypted. There is no way to copy it, you Find a way to solve it."

"No problem." An Feiya took the hard drive from Wei Ran without thinking, and turned around to go to the desk not far away.

"Also..." Wei Ran retrieved a set of coordinates from his mobile phone and handed it to the other party, "Check this location for me as soon as possible."

After taking Wei Ran's mobile phone, Anfeiya fiddled with it, and the mobile phone in her pocket also beeped.

"Which thing to do first?"

The girl was already sitting on a chair while she was speaking, but she didn't turn on the desktop computer on the table. Instead, she took out a colorfully pasted laptop from the backpack at her feet.

"The information is not urgent, let's check the address first." Wei Ran had already opened the door of the darkroom on the first floor while speaking.

Watching Wei Ran walk into the darkroom and lock the door, Anfeiya also breathed a sigh of relief, then bent down and picked up a little fox on her lap, and began to inquire about the coordinates provided by Wei Ran.

As for Wei Ran himself, he had already taken out the metal book at this time, turned it to the photo page of the cap badge, and took out all the negatives from the paper bag next to him.

During the long and even boring busyness, large-scale black-and-white photos that recorded friendship, faith, or the ugliness of human nature were hung on the tight drying line one by one. .

While waiting for the photos to dry, Wei Ran collected the negatives and the metal notebook, and busily dug out boxes of photo frames of different sizes from the storage room next door.

"Boss, an interesting situation has emerged." While Anfeiya was speaking, she was already holding a thin stack of A4 papers and moved over.

Hearing this, Wei Ran took the A4 paper in the opponent's hand, and while he was flipping it, Anfeiya also explained beside him, "The address pointed to by that coordinate is located in a farm in Montana, USA."

"continue"

Wei Ran simply put aside the paper that was still warm from the printer in his hand, went into the kitchen and brewed a large pot of hawthorn leaf tea by himself.

"That's all," Anfeiya gave an unexpected answer.

"That's all?" Wei Ran turned and looked at the other party in surprise.

Anfeya spread her hands, "The Internet is not omnipotent. I can't find any information related to this place on the Internet."

"Where is the owner of that farm?" Wei Ran looked at the other party and asked, "Whose property of that farm can't be found?"

"Can't find"

Anfeiya said with a normal expression, "Except for the address of this farm, I can't find any information related to it on the Internet, but this in itself already explains the problem."

Wei Ran picked up the A4 paper that had just been thrown on the table and flipped through it. The only few photos were all zoomed-in screenshots of the satellite map, "In other words, if you want to know what's there, you have to go and see it ?”

Katenka nodded bluntly, "I'm afraid that's the only way to go."

"Looks like it will be done soon"

Wei Ran muttered to himself, he originally thought that the coordinates provided by the metal book pointed to the location of the assassination target Bruno.But obviously, the results of Anfeiya's investigation now added a little bit of uncertainty to that set of coordinates.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. If the set of coordinates did not point to the location of the assassination target Bruno, then 100 days would not be enough for him to chase down the farm and find the target person!
"Keep busy with your work here"

While speaking, Wei Ran had already pushed the box he had just moved back to the storage room, "In case I need your help later"

"Send an email, that's the safest."

Anfeya said bluntly, it seemed that everything was the same as when she used the name "Katenka".

"Then contact by email." Before the words finished, Wei Ran had already picked up the car keys, and rushed out of the gate in a hurry.

Watching the ex-boss disappear in that ostentatious armored pickup truck, Anfeya picked up a little fox that was spinning around her feet and looked at it, then curiously walked into the darkroom where many photos were still hung.

At the same time, Wei Ran had already changed the front of the car and drove straight to the direction of Hongqi Forest Farm.Since this trip to the United States is going to be advanced, it is natural to ask that old guy Gorman if he wants to bring something to his wife, son and grandson with the same name.

And on the other hand, anyway, the Hongqi Forest Farm and the airport are in the same direction, and you can also rest at the forest farm for the night tonight, so that you don't have to get up early to catch the flight tomorrow, and you can also avoid having a relationship with Anfei, one of Kajianka. Ya felt uncomfortable in the same room.

However, when he drove the car into the Hongqi Forest Farm, he found that apart from those students, there was only Teacher Dahlia in the Nuoda Forest Farm at this time.

"Gorman isn't here?" Wei Ran said as he followed Teacher Dalia to the cafeteria.

"He's on vacation." Dahlia explained with a smile, "He probably won't be back until October."

"Vacation?" Wei Ran grinned, wisely, he didn't ask further.

Daria also didn't intend to continue explaining, and directly changed the subject and asked, "Where have you been recently? I heard from Jima, didn't you go to develop Inta?"

"Back to China"

Wei Ran explained with a normal expression, "I have a business to discuss, and I have to go to the United States tomorrow. Originally, I wanted to ask Gorman if he could bring him something there."

"Are you going to the United States?" Dahlia raised her eyebrows, and then stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ran looked at the other party in confusion.

"It's nothing." Dalia smiled, and changed the subject again, "Tonight I have red cabbage soup and cheese dumplings, as well as the braised pig's feet with soybeans that you taught the chef."

"Today I plan to stay here for one night." Wei Ran greeted in advance before entering the cafeteria.

Teacher Daria nodded when she heard the words, but said without beginning or end, "I buried Mrs. Valentina and her husband, Mr. Vajim, together in the Red Flag Forest Farm."

Wei Ran stopped in his tracks, and couldn't help thinking of the old man who couldn't find a husband that he met with Teacher Dalia before going to Egypt, "That old lady with cancer, and her tank driver husband?"

Dalia nodded, and raised her finger to point to the direction facing the building of the consultation center, "It's in that birch forest, besides, their grandson Siwa is also working for the Hongqi Forest Farm now, would you like to meet him? "

"Have a drink together?" Wei Ran offered to propose.

Teacher Dalia smiled amiably, took off the walkie-talkie hanging on her waist and called, "Siva, come to the cafeteria, let's have a drink together."

"I'll be there right away." There was an immediate response from the intercom with a little noise.

"What does he do here?" Wei Ran followed Teacher Dalia into the cafeteria, found a seat and asked.

"do anything"

Dalia explained with a smile, "He knows a lot about buying ingredients for the cafeteria, mowing the lawn, or repairing the leaking roof."

"Your promise to Mrs. Valentina?" Wei Ran asked abruptly.

Teacher Dalia was silent for a moment, then nodded again, "Isn't he what he deserves?"

　Temporary one update, these two days are a bit busy, so I am not sure if I can have a second update in the evening.
