At 5:40 pm on October 1st, Wei Ran, who seemed to have fallen into a paint bucket, limped out of the birch forest with the help of Ji Ma and a wooden stick.
This whole day's experience was definitely not a good one. It would be fine if he was found by Ji Ma again and again. He was so desperate that he even encountered a buck in estrus. If he hadn't reacted quickly, He fired a shot in time, and he was probably now hanging on the antlers as a trophy. But even so, in panic, he still fell and almost twisted his foot.
Luckily, by accident, he found a blackboard only the size of an induction cooker panel on the trunk of an oak tree, and successfully left his name on it.
"Jima, how many times have I been hit by you today?" Wei Ran sat down on the steps at the door of the counseling center and asked weakly.
"17 times"
Ji Ma's face was full of regret, "There is obviously still time, can't you just keep going and find the second blackboard?"
"Then you can get the ransom of 40,000 rubles?" Wei Ran mocked with a bad look.
"Twenty thousand" Ji Ma stretched out his scissor hands, "Even if I catch you 20 times, I can only get 20,000, and the other 20,000 belongs to Mr. Culp."
< p>"This profiteer!" Wei Ran cursed through gritted teeth."Thank you for the compliment"
Culp walked out of the consultation center and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Twenty thousand rubles, after paying the ransom, you can go back to the dormitory and change clothes. , and then get ready for dinner."
"Take it." Wei Ran took out a few large tickets from his wallet and handed them to the other party, who handed half of them in front of him. Ji Ma next to him.
"Okay Jima, take him to the dormitory, and come over for dinner after changing his clothes."
Culp put the ransom in his pocket and said as he walked to the consultation center , "At seven-thirty in the evening, on the first floor of the Counseling Center, you still have two hours of German classes, and you are ten thousand rubles a minute late."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory." Jima He gloated and pulled Wei Ran to stand up.
"Jima, you should follow suit. This is what Mr. Nicholas means."
"Can I refuse?" Jima asked with an ugly face.
Culp turned around and said seriously, "No, I have already called your mother, and she asked me to tell you that if you dare to sneak back, I will break your legs. Jima , Cherish this rare opportunity to study. If your Chinese friend hadn't paid enough tuition, you would have never had the chance to take classes."
"I understand," Jima's mouth twitched, and he finally said. Still agreed with difficulty.
He helped Wei Ran enter the consultation center. The two brothers climbed up the stairs to the second floor of the consultation center and each got into their own rooms.
Weiran closed the door tiredly. Wei Ran, who had been tired all day and had been cheated of 20,000 rubles, finally finallyWith some comfort, if nothing else, the dormitory provided by Culp is absolutely spacious, and the suite that looks to be at least fifty or sixty square meters is definitely luxuriously decorated.
There is even a bathtub big enough to soak your whole body in the separate bathroom. In the cabinet at the entrance, there is also a complete set of clothes from underwear and socks to tops and bottoms, boots and even gloves. Even the suitcase he threw on the truck was wiped clean and placed in the corner.
Taking off his clothes and throwing them into the washing machine, Wei Ran took a comfortable hot bath, then set a time to lie down on the bed and take a nap. After being tormented by various movements all night last night, and being a target for Ji Ma in the birch forest all day long, he was already so tired that he started snoring as soon as he touched the pillow.
When the alarm clock woke him up, Wei Ran felt that he had slept for less than five minutes, but looking at the screen of his mobile phone, there were only fifteen minutes left before class. After hurriedly changing his clothes and running downstairs, Ji Ma was already waiting for him in the lobby on the first floor.
“I knew you had to take a nap.” As Jima spoke, he stuffed a stack of bacon-wrapped blintzes into Wei Ran’s hand, “Eat quickly while there is still time. Order something."
"Thank you for still thinking of me." Wei Ran took a few mouthfuls and stuffed them into his stomach, and then followed Ji Ma into a classroom next to the bar.
To his surprise, the person in charge of giving lectures turned out to be the aunt at the front desk. However, compared to her dress last night, this aunt not only wore a decent suit, but also wore light makeup. So much so that although her figure was slightly out of shape, her temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Find a place to sit down by yourself"
The attitude of the aunt at the front desk was much more enthusiastic than last night. She distributed the teaching materials to the only two students while speaking softly. He introduced in English, "My name is Dalia. I will be responsible for your German courses, medical courses and etiquette courses in the future. Of course, we are in German class today, so we will start with the simplest letter pronunciation and how to greet others in German. Mother, let’s start.”
Is this okay? Are you learning dirty words right now?
Wei Ran looked at the dignified and elegant teacher Dalia with dumbfounded eyes. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of greeting the other party wanted to teach.
However, after the two-hour class ended, Wei Ran, who had learned a lot of swear words, was surprised to find that he had actually remembered a lot of "greetings", especially in this German class. In the last ten minutes, Dalia organized a scolding between him and Jima, which was a real practice of what he had learned today.
The first magical German course ended with some unfinished content. Dalia motioned to Jima to follow her out of the classroom, but Culp walked in with two document bags.
"How did you go in the German class?" Culp, who was still wearing a suit and ties, asked kindly as he sat opposite Wei Ran.
“Very interesting” Wei Ran gave an ambiguous evaluation.
"The courses here are very interesting" cardErpu opened the document bag while speaking, took out the contents and laid them flat on the table.
"This is..." Wei Ran looked at one of the documents on the table. Isn't this the medical file he brought over?
"I found it when I was helping you pack your luggage today," Culp said matter-of-factly, not feeling anything wrong with going through other people's things without permission.
"I am helping Mr. Nikolai investigate some things"
"I know" Culp pushed another document to Weiyan, "This is what I did based on this document back then. What I found in the medical record investigation may be able to help you."
Wei Ran picked up another file and flipped through it. Not only did it contain the detailed information of the owner of the medical file, but it also contained information about the owner of the medical record. Oakleaf Insurance Company, which cannot be found, also has a detailed introduction.
After he finished reading more than a dozen pages of documents, Culp asked directly, "Victor, I want to know why you only brought this medical file? Can you tell me what you found? "
Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and came up with the excuse he had thought up in advance, "I just think the reason why he was killed was too simple."
"That's it? "
Wei Ran nodded, then shook his head, "Originally, these were the reasons, but after reading the information you gave me, there are more reasons."
"Tell me more details. "Say," Culp urged.
“This insurance company,” Weiran explained, pointing to the phrase on the medical file, “Oak leaf, this is too reminiscent of World War II. A German company uses Oak leaf as its name. It’s hard not to think too much. And according to your investigation, this company was bombed in 1985, and the ampoule also disappeared in 1985. Is it possible that he died in that explosion? "
Culp shook his head in disappointment when he heard this, "Didn't Mr. Nicholas tell you? The ampoule disappeared in April 1985. They were two months apart. It’s hard to say there is any connection between them.”
“What month is it? April?” Wei Ran exclaimed.
"Is there a problem?" Culp asked, staring into Wei Ran's eyes.
"No..." Wei Ran, who was about to lie to excuse himself, quickly stopped and said in a different way, "I have to think about it before I can give you the answer."
Karl Pu thought for a moment and nodded, "From now on, after the last class every day, I will take half an hour to help you investigate and analyze. If you need anything during the process, you can always ask it."
"No problem, I won't be polite if necessary." Wei Ran couldn't help but yawned as he said, "But Principal Culp, can I go back and rest now?"
" Of course."
Culp said with a smile, "We will have breakfast at 6:30 tomorrow morning and start your hunting game with Ji Ma at 7 o'clock in the afternoon."
"What else?" Wei Ran asked with a sad face.
"When you find three blackboards in one day and are caught by Ji Ma in single digits, when will this hunting game end." Culp stood up, "Okay, now go back and get some rest early. ”
Watching Culp leave the classroom, Wei Ran reopened the information on the table. He originally did not expect to get the results of the investigation so quickly, but since the other party had already seen the medical file, he also There is no need to continue hiding it.
What's more, he also saw the words "German Youth League" in this document. If he continued to investigate with this clue, he might be able to find the real murderer soon.
