On April Fool's Day, when Wei Ran woke up from his bedroom on the second floor of the studio, it was already drizzling outside the window, and the statue of the Mother of the Motherland on the top of Mamaev Hill in the distance seemed to be covered with a layer of rain. Like a hazy gauze.
Outside the locked rolling shutter door, the professor who came back with his boss Alexander half a month ago has been waiting for a long time.
"Victor, have you hidden a girl in the studio?"
Professor Alexey walked around to the bedroom window and shouted At the same time, he bent down to pick up a pebble and hit it accurately on the glass window.
Looking at the new cracks on the glass windows covered with tape, Wei Ran yawned, put on his clothes, staggered downstairs and opened the locked rolling shutter door.
"When did you come back?" Professor Alexei said as he put the breakfast in his hand on the table.
"Last night's flight"
Wei Ran yawned again, reached out and took out a meat bun from the insulated lunch box, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. Chewing asked vaguely, "Aren't you going to work today?"
"No rush, it's not even eight o'clock in the morning. I have enough time to get there."
While Professor Alexei was speaking, he pulled out a small bottle of gin from the historical materials on the bookshelf, opened it, took a big sip, and quickly screwed on the bottle cap. After entering, he sat down opposite Wei Ran with satisfaction.
“You have something to do with me?” Wei Ran saw that the other party was hesitant to speak, so he simply put down the second meat bun, “Just tell me?”
“Are you really going to do that? Move the studio to Kazan?" Professor Alexei asked. .
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded simply and came up with the excuse he had thought up for a long time, "I am studying there after all. It is too troublesome to travel back and forth every month. The air ticket cost alone is Not a lot."
"My dear nephew, I will miss you in the future," Professor Alexei said pretentiously.
"How about...you just tell the truth?" After Wei Ran finished speaking, he picked up the meat bun that he had just put down and took a hard bite.
"When did you, bastard, become so smart?"
Professor Alexey, who was brewing feelings, was immediately discouraged, "Actually, it's nothing, this room holds Let’s keep the studio for short memories. I’ll come back with Aurora often when I’m not busy.”
“You...” Wei Ran was stunned with a meat bun in his mouth. He looked at the professor sitting opposite.
"What am I?"
Professor Alexey reached out nonchalantly from under the long table and took out another wine bottle taped to it, unscrewed the cap and filled it. After taking a sip, he said, "Although I am often drunk, Aurora is my daughter after all. Do you think you can hide this kind of thing from us?"
"So... everyone knows "Really?" Wei Ran asked awkwardly..
"They are all pretending not to know."
Professor Alexei poured the last sip of wine from the bottle into his mouth, and then threw away the empty bottle with the remaining tape. Throwing it into the trash can, he continued, "We are not worried about you and Aurora, but I don't want to keep this kind of thing in my heart and pretend not to know.
No matter what, , Aurora will be handed over to you, just like I gave this studio to you. Of course, if one day the two of you have irreconcilable conflicts, I hope you can leave this studio as you are now. Give it back to me, give it back to me like a man."
"And then you hit a crack in the window with a pebble?"
Wei Ran stood up and took out a bottle of vodka from the refrigerator that the other party seldom drank, and poured a full glass for the professor sitting opposite, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
"Then it's settled"
Satisfied, Professor Alexei picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He burped and stood up and walked out and said, "Okay, I want to Go to work, remember to keep what we just talked about confidential."
"I'll take you there." Wei Ran reluctantly picked up the third hot meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, chasing after the other party. Ran out of the studio.
"If I had known that you and Aurora would be so sensible again, maybe you would have children by now." Professor Alexei happily threw the car keys to Wei Ran , got into the back row with peace of mind.
"I am afraid that you will be caught by the police for drunk driving like last time, or like the year before last, you will drive into the car after drinking too much..."
"Close Mouth!"
Professor Alexey, who looked like a father just a moment ago, patted the back of Weiran's seat angrily, "You little bastard who stole my precious daughter, why don't you... Drive quietly, or get out and call me a taxi now."
"You've grown up, so I won't let you talk anymore..." Wei Ran muttered. He gently stepped on the accelerator with a smile.
After successfully delivering Professor Alexei to the museum in Alexandria, Wei Ran, who came back by taking a taxi, had not had time to take the change from the taxi driver when he found a man in a windbreaker standing at the door of the studio's rolling shutter door. fat woman.
This is...Diane?
Wei Ran was stunned. When he was in Germany a few years ago, he had an encounter with this woman under the introduction of Mr. Hans. At that time, the other party invited him to serve as an investigator. Join an organization called Edelweiss to recover missing soldiers from World War II.
I didn’t seem to agree at that time, right?
While the driver was giving change, Wei Ran thought about it secretly, until he was sure that he did not agree, then he took the change from the driver, opened the door and greeted him with enthusiasm. .
"Why are Ms. Diane interested in coming to my place?" Wei Ran asked while shaking hands with the other party.road.
"Of course I'm here to invite you again. Mr. Hans reminded me that it's not easy to get through on your phone, so I came over directly." Diane said with a smile, "Please come in and sit down if it's convenient." "Sit down?"
"Wait a minute," Wei Ran said, bending down and opening the rolling shutter door that was not locked at all, and warmly invited the other party to sit at the long table.
"Mr. Victor, I wonder how you have considered what we talked about last time in Germany?" Diane asked while Wei Ran was making coffee, "To be honest, I came to Volgograd after watching your latest interview."
"So...you waited for a month?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
“Almost three weeks”
Diane politely accepted the coffee from the former, “But it’s not as hard as you think. I’m taking advantage of this time to stay in Volgograd. I took a good stroll and gave myself a break."
"To be honest, I haven't thought about the things we talked about before."
Wei Ran. He sat down and said apologetically, "The main reason is that I don't actually have enough time. In addition to being busy with this studio, I also have to take classes. At the same time, the work at the film studio also takes up most of my time. "
"Can I understand that you are refusing?" Diane asked with a look of disappointment.
"I'm not refusing," Wei Ran spread his hands regretfully, "It's just that my time is really not enough, and I may not be able to devote too much energy to my job as an investigator."
"If you just help us promote the Edelweiss organization, it won't waste too much time." Diane said sincerely as she made her last effort.
"Ms. Diane, I don't value fame and wealth." Wei Ran said nonsense seriously, "I don't want to be hindered by those illusions in exploring the truth of history."
"Then..." Diane sighed in disappointment, "Okay, Mr. Victor, but if we need to investigate some historical truth in the future, can we trouble you?"
" Of course, no problem!" Wei Ran replied happily, "This studio exists to uncover the truth of history." Hearing this, Diane barely smiled. , shifting the topic to other aspects.
After wasting a whole morning to send the other party away, Wei Ran immediately put this episode behind him.
Speaking of which, he had mentioned this matter as early as the Chinese New Year when Professor Alexey was rarely awake. The advice given by Professor Alexei is to try not to touch the work of the investigator, but there is no need to refuse the investigation of the historical truth itself.
According to this old guy, not only can’t you make money by working for these corpse middlemen, but if something goes wrong, you will be accused.
If nothing else, especially for such a small organization that has just emerged, it is not new to run away with corpses. At that time, as ""Ke Qing" generally exists, do you care about the investigators?
If you don't care about it, you will get a bad reputation. If you do, how can you care about it?
A corpse costs at least one hundred dollars. The key is that it is better to exchange for a corpse. , at least I can sell it to another organization and get my money back. If I'm lucky enough to catch up with some mayoral election in Germany, or charity activities related to World War II veterans, I might be able to make some money. But the problem is the other party. If he really rolled up the corpse and ran away, he wouldn't even be able to see the bones.
After locking the shutter door again, Wei Ran began to think about what should be taken from the studio to Kazan. Over there.
But after wandering around upstairs and downstairs, he realized that apart from the weapons, ammunition and real money and cash in the safe, this studio was really his. There are not many personal items of his, just the toothbrush and towel in the bathroom, the clothes in the closet, and the SUV parked at the door.
As for the rest, they are basically Allie's. Professor Kesai’s things, no wonder this old guy came here so early in the morning. He was not worried about Suisui. This old man was afraid that Wei Ran would secretly pack away the books and materials he had worked so hard to collect!
After realizing it, Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, and sent all the boxes of gin he had just accidentally dug out to the travel agency next door as if to retaliate, intending to give them to Professor Alexei on April Fool's Day. Leave an unforgettable memory.
