On the night of September 15th, Wei Ran, who looked tired, waited until his flight landed at Volgograd Airport, then turned on his phone and flipped through the accumulated unread messages and missed calls one by one. Telephone.
According to Dalia’s new regulations, no matter he or Jima, their mobile phones will be taken away during the Hongqi Forest Farm. As for the reason... When will that crazy woman Dalia give it to her? Do they explain why? That was just a dream.
"Why did Herbert send so many messages?"
Wei Ran roughly went through the messages sent by the other party and dozens of missed calls. The time spent waiting for the luggage was given to the other party.
"Thank God, you are finally willing to turn it on!"
Herbert on the other end of the phone was particularly excited, "Victor, if you call us back half an hour later, we will We are about to board the plane and leave Volgograd."
"I was busy before"
Wei Ran said casually, looked around and said, "I just landed. Volgograd, we’re at the airport now. If it’s time, we can meet and chat.”
“Please wait a moment and don’t hang up the phone.”
Herbert said. After finishing, he covered the phone with his hand, turned to the woman sitting next to him and asked, "Mrs. Amanda, Victor has appeared at this airport. Are you willing to see him now?"
< p>Amanda hesitated for a moment, looked up at the flight information on the big screen, and finally sighed and said, "Let him come here to find me, Herbert. I hope you didn't lie to me. If he doesn't look like you said at all, If he can investigate what I want to know, there will be no need for us to cooperate in the future.""He can definitely do it!"
After Hebert finished speaking, he immediately relaxed. He opened the microphone that he had been covering, switched back to German and said, "My friend, come to the waiting room quickly, and do me a favor. There is a rich lady next to me. He wants to investigate some things. Please You must agree.”
“What are you investigating?” Wei Ran asked as he picked up the luggage on the carousel and walked towards the waiting room.
"Same as last time, it's still a treasure." Herbert spoke faster and explained, "But this time we are not looking for the treasure itself, but we are looking for it in the 1980s. The expedition team whose treasure never came back."
"Herbert, where did you get so many clues about the treasure?" Wei Ran asked as he walked.
“I have no interest in treasures”
Unsurprisingly, this is already the second time we have collaborated, and Herbert also confessed a lot, “But there are always people who are obsessed with treasures. Isn’t it human?”
“Like Mr. Charlotte?”
“Of course”
Herbert took a few steps away, blatantly Said, "All I need to do is select rich people like Mr. Charlotte from the people who are obsessed with treasures, and then convince them to pay me some commission to help them find it."The so-called treasure. I'm not interested as to whether the treasure can be found, as long as they are willing to pay the commission. "
"So what happened this time? ”
At this point, even a fool would know that Wei Ran is probably a fat man wearing the hat of an archaeologist who specializes in swindling among the rich. .
“This client of mine has been helping me find the treasure for two years,”
Herbert said bluntly, “But recently she has lost her patience. , so I plan to finally make a fortune. Victor, if you think you can help her find the treasure, you can try next. I negotiated the investigation fee to 120,000 euros. If you can get the money in the end, you only need to give me 30,000 euros in the end. ,How about it? Can the deal be made? "
"The share ratio is very reasonable." Wei Ran paused and continued, "As for whether we can close the deal, let's first see what your client needs to investigate. ”
“No problem, we’ll meet you in the waiting room. I’ll be waiting for you at the door.” "After Herbert finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone.
When Weiran arrived at the door of the waiting room, Herbert gave a few more instructions in German before pulling him away. He went in and introduced Wei Ran to Mrs. Amanda who seemed to be difficult to deal with in French.
"Victor, this is Mrs. Amanda, she wants to find you. help. "Herbert and the other two people who didn't understand each other shook hands politely, and then began to translate with peace of mind.
"Victor, my plane takes off in half an hour. Hopefully, within this half hour, we can reach an employment relationship that satisfies both parties.
Wei Ran glanced at Herbert and responded with a smile, "This is also the result I hope to see. Mrs. Amanda, please tell me in detail what you want me to do." "
Mrs. Amanda waited for Herbert to finish the translation and explained in a straightforward manner, "This matter can be traced back to the 1980s. My brother Leo was a gold prospector. He is also a second-rate explorer who is passionate about finding treasures. "
This charming old lady waited patiently for Herbert to finish the translation before continuing, "As for the treasure, we have to start talking about it in 1988." I remember clearly that in the autumn of that year, a German approached my brother and hired him to go to Norway to search for gold veins.
But I remember very clearly that my brother once told me before setting off that what they were looking for was not a gold mine, but a treasure. "
Having said this, Amanda opened the small bag she carried with her and took out a palm-sized photo frame and handed it to Wei Ran, "This photo was left by my brother before departure. Down. ”
Taking the photo frame, Wei Ran frowned after just one glance. This black and white photo shows a Mercedes-Benz truck produced in Germany during World War II. On the carriage of this truck, several German The soldiers were throwing metal ingots into the back of the carriage one after another.At the bottom, there is a mine car that has been piled with many metal ingots.
The direction in which the not-so-large mine cart extends is pointing to a mine hole diagonally deep underground. As for the area around the entrance of the mine, there is a dense coniferous forest.
Unfortunately, the photo itself is not very clear, and it is black and white, so there is no way to tell whether the metal ingots thrown into the mine cart are iron blocks. Still a gold nugget.
Seeing Wei Ran raise his head, Mrs. Amanda immediately spoke and continued. At the same time, Herbert, who was sitting aside, continued to translate after taking the photo from Wei Ran's hand.
"My brother once told me before setting off that the metal ingot in this photo was gold plundered by Germany from the Soviet Union during World War II. And the person who hired him to go look for this gold , is the son of the person who took this photo."
Amanda sighed and continued, "Unfortunately, neither my brother nor the person who hired my brother came back. Victor, I hope you can help me find clues to these golden treasures."
"I thought you were looking for your brother..."
Wei Ran waited for Herbert. After translating, he muttered to himself, thought for a moment and then said, "With all due respect, Mrs. Amanda, these metal ingots in the photo don't look like gold. If they were gold, this Mercedes-Benz truck wouldn't be able to hold so many, and Seeing that its tires were not flattened, it shows that these metal ingots are at least far less heavy than the same volume of gold."
