At seven o'clock in the morning on October 2, Wei Ran, who had changed into a camouflage hunting outfit, walked into the forest with his bag on his back. Thanks to the painful experience of being caught by Ji Ma 17 times yesterday, he learned from the painful experience. This time he was extra cautious from the moment he entered the forest. In order to confuse Ji Ma, some imperceptible traces were deliberately left in several directions.
An hour later, Ji Ma drove the golf course in a circle around the edge of the forest. However, compared to yesterday's ease, Wei Ran's slight progress made him waste more than half an hour before he determined the correct tracking route.
While the two young men were chasing each other in the forest, Culp also called Nikolai early in the morning and recited the conversation between him and Wei Ran verbatim. Read it again.
However, Nicholas did not say anything, and even reminded Culp that he did not need to make any suggestions for Weiran.
"Why?" Culp asked curiously, "Victor is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything. Could it be that he..."
"It's because he is a Ordinary people who don't know anything."
Nicholas said in a calm tone, "We have been investigating the KGB's behavior for decades but still have no results. Maybe if we try it from the perspective of ordinary people, we can get some results. Unexpected gain. Culp, your role is just an archive. Just answer whatever he asks."
"I understand," Culp replied simply, until the receiver came. When the busy signal rang, he hung up the phone and walked out of the office with Dalia, who was sitting opposite, and went straight to the main building not far away.
Wei Ran is not the only student at Hongqi Forest Farm. There are also many beautiful girls in the main building. Although a considerable part of the courses of these girls are taught by hired temporary teachers, some of them are more valuable. Yes, he and Dalia still need to teach in person.
While everyone was busy, at 2:40 in the afternoon, Wei Ran stumbled out of the forest covered in dye just like yesterday. But what was better than yesterday was that until He sat on the doorstep of the counseling center before Jima came out of the forest in the other direction.
"How many times today?" Wei Ran asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Twelve times" Ji Ma's face was full of regret, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have taught you this one yesterday."
"You teach me today There are quite a few." Wei Ran threw a bottle of cold mineral water to the other party, then endured the heartache, took out 20,000 rubles from his wallet and handed it to Teacher Dalia who was standing aside waiting.
"How many pieces did you find today?" Dalia took the money, took out a few and handed them to Jima, and stuffed the rest into her wallet.
“It’s still one piece,” Wei Ran said disappointedly, “I thought the piece I found yesterday was still in its original location. If I hadn’t wasted a lot of time going there, maybe I could have found the second piece. ”
“There will be another chance tomorrow.” Dalia turned around and walked to the consultation center."Let's go back and change clothes first. Class starts at four o'clock. It's still the same classroom."
"Or German?" Jima asked enthusiastically. He, a scumbag, didn't want to learn German at first. But being able to learn a few curse words in a foreign language is really attractive to him.
"Yes" Dalia responded to Jima and at the same time, she had already pushed open the glass door of the consultation center and walked in.
Unsurprisingly, in the two-hour German course, the greetings of Wei Ran and the two people have covered all family relationships in German, including basic numbers, time, and dates. Everything is mixed in.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the fancy German exchange with Jima, Dalia did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she asked Jima to bring her dinner. Ji Ma, who was attending the class for free, naturally had no objection and ran out of the not-so-large classroom in a hurry.
"How was the hunting game these two days?" Teacher Dalia asked while pouring a cup of coffee for Wei Ran.
"Thank you"
Wei Ran responded in German. After taking the coffee, he switched back to Russian and continued, "I learned a lot of skills from Jima, but he can always Find me."
"He has been hunting in this forest with his father since he was nine years old. It can even be said that he knows every tree in the Red Flag Forest Farm, even if it is me or Culp. Sir, it is difficult to avoid being found in this forest."
Teacher Dalia looked in the direction of the door and whispered, "So Victor, if you want to hunt in this. To win in the game, it's best to use your brain."
Wei Ran fell into deep thought after hearing this. The teacher with the standard Russian aunt figure obviously meant something.
Seeing that Jima had already walked in with a dinner plate, Dalia put down the coffee cup and said, "Okay, that's enough of the reminder. You guys go and finish your meal. Jima, at seven o'clock sharp, bring the Take Victor to the fighting classroom in the main building and train with the girls for an hour. "No problem!" Ji Ma immediately showed a lewd smile on his face and urged Wei Ran to leave. The classroom went into the dining room diagonally opposite.
After hastily finishing the surprisingly caloric dinner, Wei Ran followed Ji Ma to a spacious classroom in the main building. There were already four beautiful furry girls in cool clothes who were learning women's self-defense with Dalia. Technique.
Seeing Wei Ran and Wei Ran come in, Dalia immediately pointed at them and said, "Girls, your task in the next hour is to knock them down. If any of them If any of you can stand up, you are responsible for cleaning the classroom."
"What about the rules?" Wei Ran asked confused.
"Don't kill him, don't cripple him." Ji Ma answered Wei Ran's question, and at the same time handed over a set of protective clothing and reminded him in a low voice, "Protect your little brother."
Wei Ran looked at the four Mao girls who were eager to try, and quickly put on the heavy protective clothing.
There are no rules at allThey were restrained, and there was no signal to start. Almost as soon as the two of them stepped onto the anti-fall mat, they were surrounded by the four girls, punching and kicking them.
Anyway, when he was in college, he often had fights with Mao Zi. Wei Ran had some self-confidence at first, but it was only after they started fighting that he realized that these girls really hit them wherever they hurt. Not holding back at all. From time to time, he would be thrown to the ground in various ways, or his hands or neck would be locked by his long legs.
Even Ji Ma was not much better. He could knock down one or two at the beginning, but once Wei Ran fell, the pressure on his side immediately increased sharply, and he was pinned to the ground for a while. Clean up immediately.
During the hour-long sparring or beating, the two sides rested for less than ten minutes at most. Such strenuous activities were simply more tiring than looking for a blackboard in the forest. If Wei Ran hadn't started to consciously exercise since returning from position 19, it's hard to say whether he could have persisted until the end.
After an hour of hard work, all six of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion. Wei Ran's face was slowly dripping with nosebleeds, and Ji Ma was covering his crotch with both hands, constantly changing the expression on his face. , obviously, he received the attention of those girls.
Teacher Dalia looked at Wei Ran, who was swaying and insisting on not falling, and Ji Ma, who was kneeling on the anti-fall mat with his legs together and grinning, and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay. , the girls stayed to clean the classroom."
"Plop"
Wei Ran sat down on the thick mat and breathed heavily. He finally understood why Ji Ma was called ". This is a man's paradise. Fighting against these beautiful girls is indeed painful and joyful, but unless he has a brain or is a masochist, he definitely doesn't want to do it again.
Seeing Wei Ran looking at him with a strange look on his face, Ji Ma quickly defended, "Don't look at me with that look. I usually work as a sparring partner for two girls at most at the same time. I was beaten so badly." It's also the first time."
"I believe it, I believe everything you said." Wei Ran said perfunctorily while taking off his protective equipment.
"Go back and change your clothes." Dalia pulled out a towel from the ice bucket and threw it to Wei Ran, "Mr. Culp is waiting for you in the classroom."
Wei Ran News Yan Xi got up with a grin on his face, covered his still bleeding nose with a towel, staggered out of the classroom and walked towards the consultation center. As for Ji Ma, who had a sly look on his face, he took the initiative to stay and accompany the girls to clean the classroom.
Going back to the room and taking a shower again, Wei Ran looked at his dark eyes in the mirror, shook his head helplessly, put on a pair of clean clothes, and took what Culp left for him last night. Those materials were returned to the classroom on the first floor.
"Any ideas?" Culp seemed to be unable to see the bruises and fatigue on Wei Ran's face, still smiling.
“I don’t have any ideas yet”
Wei Ran opened the document, pointed at the “German Youth League” circled with his pen and asked, “Can youCan you explain what kind of organization this is? "
"An illegal armed organization that was established shortly after the war"
Culp explained without hesitation, "Before the establishment of the West German Wehrmacht, they had received official However, after the establishment of the Wehrmacht, this organization, which was not under the official control of West Germany, quickly lost its source of funding. "
"The West German Defense Forces seemed to have been established in the 1950s, right?" Wei Ran pointed to the circled part of the information, "How come they were established in 1985... ”
“That’s true”
Culp continued to explain, “Although they lost their apparent source of funding, they did not disband. In the 1980s, this organization It regained support from the Americans and produced a large amount of sarin gas in preparation for the Kongbu attack in East Germany. ”
“They succeeded? "Wei Ran asked knowingly.
"Of course not"
Culp smiled, "At that time, an agent of the East German Stasi passed the news back in time. East Berlin and bombed the group's sarin factory in West Germany. Less than a day later, Ampoule also sent the news back.
Later, after East Germany announced the incident on a small scale, West Germany and the United States behind them were forced to completely destroy the organization themselves under pressure. "
"When did this happen? "Wei Ran asked.
"April 1985"
Culp recalled, "At that time, Gorbachev had just taken office, and he was planning to use this matter to As a breakthrough that prompted American troops to leave West Germany, Ampoule was still responsible for investigating the follow-up situation. "
"Then what? "
Wei Ran frowned at this time. He was 100% sure that Ampoule died in that air defense bunker. Now that he is dead, who will use his name to contact the Soviet Union in the future?
Culp sighed, "Then our people contacted Ampoule as usual to send him supplies and equipment, and when they brought back the information, they discovered that he had disappeared. Since then, Never appeared again. "
Seeing Wei Ran looking at him with burning eyes, Culp continued, "After discovering that the ampoule was missing, we sent a new intelligence officer there, Dalia, who taught you German. After her investigation, it was found that the German Youth League had indeed disappeared, but no one knew where the ampoule had gone. ”
Wei Ran frowned and looked at the documents spread out on the table silently. He was almost certain that the person who could make Li Daitao freeze like this was undoubtedly East Germany’s intelligence. The Stasi.
Not only did they take away the credit that originally belonged to Dr. Hans, they may have even assassinated many people in his name a long time ago. But this case. What does the incident have to do with the death of Nikolai’s family? In other words, why did the Stasi kill Nikolai’s family??
Wait!
Wei Ran couldn't help showing a look of horror on his face. He raised his head and asked Culp, "I have a question. If, I mean if, it was Mr. Nicholas who was killed at that time. , then what will happen to Ampoule?”
“Loss of contact”
Culp said simply, “At that time, Nikolai and Ampoule had a single line of contact. If Mr. Nikolai was If he is killed, Ampoule will immediately stop intelligence collection and return to the Soviet Union for review within a specified time. But even if it is finally determined that he has not been exposed, he will not be sent to West Germany."
" Then Mr. Nikolai was transferred back to the Soviet Union and his wife and child were killed. Is there any inevitable connection between the two events? "
"Yes," Culp replied, "Nicholas was at that time. His apparent identity is just that of a post office clerk in East Berlin. The murder of his wife and child probably means that he has been exposed." Seeing Wei Ran frowning and not speaking, Culp continued, "We also suspected it. Is it possible that the hostile forces wanted to use this incident to transfer Nikolay and replace the ampoule? But according to multiple verifications before the ampoule disappeared, he did not have any problems."
"If they don't want to replace the ampoule. "
Wei Ran asked tentatively. He still remembered that he once asked Dr. Hans about the origin of Hannah. The other party once said that Hannah was the nurse he recruited in East Berlin. When he and Hans When Na fell in love, Nikolai's family was killed. In order to avoid returning to China for investigation, Dr. Hans did not report Hannah's matter.
"You mean they want to control Ampoule?" Culp thought he had guessed Wei Ran's thoughts, "But based on everything that happened later, the information Ampoule sent back was true. We No evidence was found that he betrayed the Soviet Union."
