Since returning to Hongqi Forest Farm on August 15, Weiran’s original half-month course has been unilaterally extended to one month by teacher Dalia. At the same time, she also announced that Gorman, the newly appointed director of Time Film Studio, would also join the teaching work.
On the other hand, the courses of Weiran and Jima have also been completely separated starting from this month. According to Teacher Dalia's arrangement, the focus of the former's study was almost the same as last month, except that the various courses became more in-depth, and an additional intelligence analysis course was added.
As for Ji Ma, the focus of his courses has been adjusted to the new acting class that started this month, etiquette classes and makeup classes that require sitting in the same classroom with the girls.
Even if you think about it with your buttocks, Ji Ma not only has no objection to this, but his enthusiasm for learning has also skyrocketed. Even at noon that day, he couldn't wait to get together with his "sisters and sisters" An exchange of friendship between classmates began at a table.
The changes in Hongqi Forest Farm did not stop there. On the afternoon when they returned to Hongqi Forest Farm, many people moved in to the five-story building that was originally dedicated to him and Jima. people.
Among these people were Anna, a woman in formal dress whom Wei Ran had met in Yakutsk, and some beautiful girls who had studied at the Hongqi Forest Farm and had graduated.
Of course, there is Gorman who he least wants to see. But as luck would have it, this old guy deliberately chose a dormitory next to Wei Ran.
After most of the day's preparation and adjustment, in the afternoon, everyone who lived in the five-story building listed as "Time Film Studio" gathered together to save two large tables of wine. , Weiran also learned some new information.
In addition to knowing that Gorman was the director of the factory early on, Anna, who came from Yakutsk, actually assumed the position of deputy director.
Not to mention, those girls who have studied at Hongqi Forest Farm are not only employees of the studio, but also small shareholders. However, compared with Weiran, which holds 20% of the shares, the total equity held by them is only less than 10%.
As for who holds the remaining 70% of the shares, I am afraid only Dalia and the others know clearly.
However, the management of the studio had little to do with him. After the wine party, Wei Ran put all his thoughts on the new course that was about to start, and began to think about this. What kind of extravagance do you have to do for yourself this time?
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, after completing basic physical training, Ji Ma was taken to the main building to follow Dalia to class, while Wei Ran was taken to the new deputy factory director Anna. Taken to the unused conference room in the corner of the first floor.
"For the next month, I will be in charge of the intelligence analysis class every morning, and Mr. Gorman or Mr. Culp will be in charge of the intelligence collection class in the afternoon."
Wearing a suit While formally dressed Anna spoke,He pushed an unpacked laptop to Weiran, then pressed the remote control to turn on the projector, "We have met in Yakutsk before, and we had a few drinks together last night, so I Are you going to go straight to the topic without introducing yourself?"
Seeing Wei Ran nod honestly, Anna continued, "Since you have no objection, let's start with something simple today. Let's take a look now. Tell me what you saw in this photo."
Hearing this, Wei Ran turned to look at the photo on the wall.
This is a selfie of a beautiful white girl wearing a swimsuit. Behind her, there are not only beaches, lighthouses, and yachts, but there is also a shop in the corner with most of its sign visible. Unfortunately, the recruitment notice seems to be in English, and Wei Ran can't read it at all. Understand.
Reciting what she saw, Anna continued to ask, "So, where was the photo taken? When was it taken, can you tell?"
< p> "Probably..." Wei Ran replied uncertainly. These things were briefly discussed by Dalia when she taught him and Jima last month."Tell me what you think" Anna lit a cigarette and said calmly.
Wei Ran looked at the photo one last time before replying, "Based on the content on the half of the signboard in the photo and the ship number on the yacht, and searching online, we may be able to determine the approximate "The location."
"When was it taken?" Anna continued to ask.
"Maybe you can tell by the plants in the background."
Wei Ran's tone became more and more uncertain. He picked up the speech pen on the table and pointed at the plants in the corner of the photo. Said, "As long as you know the variety of this plant, check its flowering time, and combine it with the address found in the previous information, you can probably know the time when the photo was taken."
"Then the last question Anna asked in a puff of anger, "Who is the boyfriend of the girl in the photo?"
"This..." Wei Ran didn't expect the other party's question to jump so quickly.
Seeing that he seemed unable to answer, Anna squinted her eyes and blew out smoke, "In our next intelligence analysis class, we will see how to use this photo to find this girl's boyfriend.
Now take apart the computer. Our course does not require professional computer operation knowledge, but it does require your brain to be active all the time. So if you are distracted, I will ask Mr. Gorman to come over and teach you first. A one-hour intelligence gathering course."
"No need to bother Mr. Gorman, what are our first steps?" Wei Ran quickly opened the box and took out the laptop inside.
"Let's try to find out the shooting location according to what you just thought."
Anna gave the order nonchalantly and led Wei Ran to find it step by step. Got the boyfriend of the girl in the photo.
This sounds cumbersome and clueless, butSitting up is actually not difficult, and it is not as responsible as Wei Ran imagined. Just with the help of a free image search engine, Wei Ran easily found the account that first posted this photo on a social platform under Anna's guidance.
With a social account, the rest is much simpler. After reading some of the content posted before and after this account, I saw the photo of the girl and her boyfriend in the photo, and the social media his boyfriend used. The account number was easily found.
This is not over yet. Following Anna's guidance, Wei Ran also found the girl through some content posted on social platforms by the boyfriend of the girl in the photo, and with the help of some weird websites. The other party’s address, contact number and even license plate number.
Seeing that Wei Ran had been aroused by this small success, Anna, who seemed to be addicted to smoking, pressed the speech pen to bring up the second photo.
In this photo, a group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and weapons are sitting around on a piece of sand eating heated rations. In this photo, the weapons of these soldiers and the environment behind them have been coded. It can only be barely judged through the blurred outlines revealed by the mosaic that the opponent should be using weapons similar to submachine guns, and there seems to be a person behind them. building.
But Anna’s request for Wei Ran was to find out what type of missions these soldiers were performing without the help of search engines.
With the photo just now as a base, Wei Ran, who had already grasped the general pattern, briefly analyzed the soldiers' troops, combined with the outline of the weapons they used, the surrounding environment and the sand in the photo. After discarding the garbage, he finally gave his own analysis results - CQB operations, CQB operations in the desert. Considering that the opponent was wearing American military uniforms, it was likely to be on the battlefield in the Middle East.
"Middle East battlefield?"
Anna smiled strangely, controlled the speech pen to shoot a red beam, and pointed at the window glass of a Hummer exposed in the corner of the photo. He reminded, "In this position, use the software you just used to enlarge it."
Hearing this, Weiran immediately used the software he had paid for half an hour to download to zoom in on the photos on the laptop screen. After zooming in, I could vaguely see that behind the window of this Hummer, there seemed to be a peaked cap, and there seemed to be a logo composed of letters on the peaked cap. However, because the window glass reflected light The reason for this logo is not very clear.
According to the method taught by Anna not long ago, Weiran used software to repeatedly adjust the brightness of this area, and finally vaguely made out that the logo was the four blue letters "IDPA".
"Practical competitive shooting?" Wei Ran was dumbfounded. He knew this activity very well. If nothing else, Mr. Alexander on the other side of the Volga River was very keen on this sport.
In other words, this is not a mission at all, and the people in the photo are not even soldiers at all.
“In fact, if you zoom in on the sunglasses on the forehead of the second person on the left and adjust the contrast of the photo, you can see through the reflection of the sunglasses that the other side of his lens, in the direction they are facing, should be There are many targets and a barbecue grill. From this alone, combined with the hats in the car window, we can deduce their identities."
While Anna was summarizing, she pressed the speech pen repeatedly. , showing all the details just mentioned and not mentioned one by one. Then, without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, he added, "However, if you search on the Internet by searching pictures, you will get this account."
Anna controlled the projector to take a screenshot. , "According to what this account says, they do provide security work for oil merchants in the Middle East battlefield. So you see, what can really help you are the details. The Internet just helps you shorten the time to find the correct answer. On the other hand, , it is the details that can ruin you, and the convenient network can also mislead you."
"It seems that this class is not as simple as I thought," Wei Ran sighed.
"But it's far more boring than you think"
Anna said and pressed the speech pen again, "Now let's try the third photo, be careful, don't rush , Effective information is obtained with care, time and brains, so take your time."
Under Anna's guidance, Wei Ran quickly integrated into this intelligence analysis class, and after that. In the past few days, as the photos provided by the former contained less and less effective information, the difficulty of analysis also increased exponentially. Even after a week, he needed to analyze more than just photos, and began to involve some seemingly It's cluttered information that has no relevance.
For example, a certain city's surge in electricity consumption and traffic that suddenly became congested, or even the prices of daily necessities that began to increase, bridges that began to be repaired and maintained, and so on.
If the intelligence analysis every morning required him to rack his brains and long for observing photos pixel by pixel, then the intelligence collection class every afternoon was much more relaxed and exciting.
The person in charge of this course is Mr. Culp or Mr. Gorman. Instead of sitting in the conference room in the morning, the afternoon course was moved by the two teachers to downtown Kazan and walked through the streets. Collecting valuable information about the city, or sneaking into a company to steal a disposable water cup, or helping some cheating scumbags to put an end to their apparently happy relationships.
In the midst of tension and busyness, most of the month flew by. On the night when Jima finished his half-month course and rushed to Finland, teacher Dalia also secretly brought back two tightly tied drug dealers for Wei Ran.
It was also from this day that the torture and anti-torture courses that brought countless horrific memories to Wei Ran a month ago were once again added to the schedule that was already making ends meet.
With the help of these two unlucky guys who were not worthy of pity at all, Gorman used the few hours before going to bed every night on the second floor of the basement of the main building to ruthlesslyUnwilling, Wei Ran conducted a more comprehensive and thorough review, practice and further study of the various torture techniques he had learned last month.
Gorman, who was half supervising and half guiding, led Wei Ran and asked the two drug dealers endlessly how many times they had had girlfriends and the details of each girlfriend. When I received the message, less than a month after its establishment, the film studio also received its first business - to shoot a promotional video for a company that a certain girl contacted for help.
At the same time, Herbert, the French archaeologist who had introduced Wei Ran and Charlotte to meet, also rushed to Volga again with a woman who looked to be about fifty years old at most. Gullah's studio.
"Herbert, are you sure this place is still open?" This charming old woman took off her sunglasses and asked while looking at the locked rolling shutter door.
Putting away the mobile phone that still couldn’t make a call, Herbert replied seriously, “Mrs. Amanda, I assure you, this place is definitely still open, it’s just that the person we are looking for happens to be away. "
Mrs. Amanda looked at Herbert suspiciously and continued to ask in French, "So, when will he come back?"
"I don't know. "
Herbert spread his hands, "But I can guarantee that Mr. Victor can definitely help you. He not only found photos of the flag planted by the Soviets in the Reichstag Building during World War II, but also found photos of the flag planted by the Soviets in the Reichstag Building not long ago. I also helped another client of mine find his father's treasure, and I heard that the story about that treasure may be made into a movie soon."
"Okay, okay He. "Burt"
Mrs. Amanda quickly waved her hand to stop the other party from continuing, "You have already mentioned these things from France to Russia, so let's talk about the most important thing. When can I Have you met Mr. Victor?"
"Um..."
Herbert spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."
