While working quietly, Wei Ran reopened the plastic box, took out the two knives again and asked again, "Are you not mistaken? How could there be such a thing in a Jewish home?"
< p>"This is the strange thing"Professor Alexei took out the Patriotic War Medal Class II from the box and weighed it, "But the strangest thing is this medal. I Through the number on the back, we found out that its owner was a commando of the 1st Battalion, 756th Regiment, 150th Division, 79th Infantry Army of the Soviet Union.
He received this medal in 1943. During the Battle of Berlin, this commando named Mikhail was seriously injured when he captured the Moltke Bridge. After the war, he was assigned to a radio factory in Belgorod as an accountant, but soon after that, he He passed away because his physical condition deteriorated."
"So this descendant of Mikhail..."
"No, no, no"
Ah. Professor Alexey corrected himself before Wei Ran finished speaking, "This Mikhail did not leave any descendants at all. He was a Jew from Germany. His father Mario died of organ failure a month ago. Before Mario died, he kept chanting the name Mikhail and Marco, and even shouted "Ula" from time to time. "Wait, you mean, look for it." Your Jew is not Russian?" Wei Ran raised his head and asked.
“I haven’t said that?”
Professor Alexei patted his forehead, “It seems that I haven’t said it, but it’s too late now. This Jew is German , he is a serious and wealthy man who runs several private hospitals in Berlin."
Wei Ran became more and more confused, "Put aside the seriousness, why did this person find you?"
"Of course it was introduced by the middleman"
Professor Alexei continued the topic as a matter of course, "After Mario died, when his son was sorting out his belongings, These things on the table were found in the safe, and the medal was used to find Mikhail, whom his father Mario had been talking about when he was dying.
But the difference between his father and Mikhail. What kind of intersection happened between them is unknown, which is what he hopes to investigate clearly."
"How can we check this?" Wei Ran asked, without the help of a cowhide notebook. Under the premise, it is not easy to find out the story behind a incomplete medal, not to mention that this medal was issued in 1943.
"How to check and put it aside first"
Alexei mysteriously picked up the exquisitely crafted knife and pointed at a string of flowers on the handle that was extremely difficult to detect. The font engraving said, "The most important thing is that what is engraved on this knife is another name Marco that Mario kept chanting before he died, and the surname of this name is exactly the same as that of the Jew.
I feel like the Jew seems to suspect that his father is actually a member of the Crispy Youth League, this may be what he really wants to investigate. But most importantly, he was willing to pay a price that made us excited. ”
“What’s the price for doing something exciting? ”
Wei Ran asked subconsciously. Although he had barely earned enough for next year’s tuition last time he went to Finland, his money was still tight. Besides, it was already November, and he had to be there. I need to save more money before going home at the end of the year.
"Six million rubles"
Professor Alexei didn't wait for Wei Ran to speak, and then added, "Check." If you find out the relationship between his father Mario and the owner of the medal, you can get six million rubles in cash. The second six million rubles can be obtained by finding out the relationship between his father and Marko, the owner of the knife. "
"Twelve million rubles? ! "Wei Ran stood up immediately, this is not a small amount!
"I was going to get half of it"
Professor Alexey pointed in the direction of the travel agency next door. "But your aunt said that you helped her open up a very valuable travel route, so no matter how much the proceeds this time are all yours, as long as you pay one million rubles to the middleman as an introduction fee. ”
Six million rubles is not too low, not to mention the possibility of getting two six million rubles! It is even possible to learn German. If you just think about it this way, it seems that it is not a loss at all. As for the introduction fee of one million rubles, it was not that much, and it could even be considered a super low price.
But Wei Ran could not ignore the remaining bullet marks on the rough-made knife. As well as the battle experience of Mikhail just described by Alex, because these two corroborate each other, it is very possible to prove from the side that all the secrets happened during the Battle of Berlin, but if it was the end of that battle. In terms of battle...
Wei Ran looked down at the various things on the table, thinking about the risks behind this matter if it was like the last battle of Suao Musalmi. , if you can successfully join the team, there is not much danger in conquering the Battle of Berlin, but there is no doubt that there is a high possibility that you will not learn German at all.
But if you accidentally side with the Germans this time. On the other side, even if you can learn German, the cost and risk are too high.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran asked Professor Alexei, "Aside from these two knives and this medal. Besides, are there any key clues? "
Professor Alexei shook his head regretfully, "If there are more clues, I won't pay such a high price. "
"I want to think about it," Wei Ran said after considering it.
"No hurry." Professor Alexei was particularly happy this time, "The other party hopes to treat the investigation results as Makes a Christmas gift, so you still have about two months left. "
"Unless more information about Mikhail can be found, nothing can be found out with this little bit of information. "Wei Ran gave an ambiguous answer. He didn't want to appear too confident.
"Twelve million rubles can give you enough courage to face all the troubles" Professor Alexey sat aside and encouraged, "It's just a matter of looking through more historical archives."
"If it were as simple as you said, I'm afraid you would have solved it yourself."
Wei Ran muttered angrily, how could this old guy know that even though he was 100% sure about investigating these things? You can find the ultimate truth with certainty, but you also face 100% danger.
Looking at the various things on half the table again, Wei Ran became more and more entangled in his heart. Can't this old guy find some easy work for me?
"Victor, think more about those twelve million."
Professor Alexei hit each other with two knives and made a dull sound, "This is the longest time since The biggest business this studio has received since its establishment. The next time I want to meet such a generous rich man, I may have to wait until Stalin is resurrected. "Wei." Ran looked at Professor Alexei up and down, his eyes clearly wondering which correctional camp would be suitable for this old guy.
But what he said was absolutely correct. The temptation of twelve million rubles is indeed not low, and such a big job is indeed rare to come across.
But is it worth taking such a big risk for twelve million rubles? Regarding this question, Weiran gave the answer without thinking for long - of course it is worth it!
