Under the leadership of Teacher Dalia, Wei Ran walked into the office next to the maintenance workshop.
The area in this office is not large. Except for a set of solid wood office desks and chairs that look very old and a long sofa placed against the wall, it is still clean. There is a lot of floor space under the feet. Thick dirt, some broken floor tiles, and some metal gaskets or screws that were polished by shoe soles were hidden in the gaps. Even the fish tank on the coffee table was filled with moldy cigarette butts. .
Compared to this dirty and messy environment, the man wearing camouflage pants and a pure black T-shirt standing next to the solid wood table was not only clean and out of place, but he even had a strong aura of a policeman.
At this moment, even if there weren't those military trucks outside, even if Dalia wasn't with him, and even if Wei Ran was killed, he still didn't believe that this middle-aged man whose name he still didn't know would be the repairman here.
"She introduced me to come here to find you"
Dalia's tone did not reveal any emotion, and she did not mean to shake hands with the other party. Even she seemed to I am not prepared to introduce myself or even the identity of the other person.
"I know, what do you need me to do?"
This gentle middle-aged man didn't seem to care. He neither sat down nor motioned for everyone to sit down. As for getting something to drink, don't even think about it. In this dirty office, the only thing that can be considered liquid is probably the buckets of various brands of lubricants on the metal shelf behind the desk.
"Let him be with you"
Dalia made a gesture towards Wei Ran, and then turned around and left the office without even saying hello.
Siwa, who was also left behind, looked at Dalia’s back with some confusion, then looked at Wei Ran and the middle-aged man he also didn’t know, and finally chose to stay. Come down.
"Why don't we sit down and chat?" Wei Ran asked politely.
"Of course, as long as you don't mind that the conditions here are really bad." The middle-aged man said, reaching into his pocket and taking out a pack of crumpled Marlboros, "Here's one."
p>
"Thank you"
Wei Ran politely took the cigarette from the other party, but Siwa waved his hand, "Sorry, I don't know how to smoke."
" "Sit down."
The middle-aged man pulled the swivel chair behind the desk over and sat down across the coffee table from Wei Ran, facing each other.
Using the matches on the table, he lit the cigarette handed to him by the other party. In the swirling smoke, Wei Ran took out his mobile phone, called up the application form and files saved in the previous screenshots, and explained straightforwardly, " This application and the military medal file that follows are from public information on the official website of the Ministry of Defense. The grandfather of the gentleman next to me is probably the tank driver recorded in this application. We helped his grandmother find her husband. ."
Taking the mobile phone from Wei Ran, the gentle middle-aged man just glanced at it and returned it simply.He said, "No problem. Around seven o'clock this afternoon, my people have arrived at the address recorded in the application. I believe there will be news soon."
"It will start this afternoon. "
Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the other party to move so fast. This is stupid, the word efficiency is not as attractive to them as a glass of the cheapest beer.
"I believe there will be news soon"
The middle-aged man sitting opposite said slowly. Even the action of smoking seemed elegant and out of place with the surrounding environment.
“You guys move really fast,” Wei Ran, holding a cigarette in his hand, couldn’t help but admire.
"They have been waiting for too long, and the people waiting for them have also been waiting for too long." The middle-aged man looked at Wei Ran with a smile, and asked abruptly, "Are you Mr. Victor"
"You know me"
"Of course, I have seen you on TV several times."
This. The young man lightly dusted the cigarette ashes and continued slowly, "Not only do I know you, but I also know Professor Alexei."
Wei Ran smiled, "This world is really small. ".
“It’s not as small as this circle.” The middle-aged man spread his hands, “And Professor Alexei’s drinking capacity is really impressive.”
“You and Alex Professor Alexei is very familiar." Wei Ran became more and more curious, "How do you know about my relationship with Professor Alexei?"
"I have seen you deliberately dangling in front of the camera during your interview. Professor Alexei went."
The middle-aged man explained with a smile, "But we are not familiar with each other, we just drank together once in Bryansk, and that was a lot. What happened years ago. That’s all. Victor, why don’t you go to the excavation site and have a look?”
“Now”
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, he didn’t expect it. The other party would actually send out such an invitation at this time.
The middle-aged man glanced at Siwa who was completely speechless, then nodded affirmatively, and asked half seriously and half jokingly, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
p>After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran stubbed out the cigarette he had just taken a puff of, put the butt of the cigarette into his pocket, then stood up and said, "Then let's go."
" Mr. Siwa, do you want to join us?" The middle-aged man gently invited Siwa, who stood up with him. Grain
"Of course, of course" Siwa responded quickly.
"Don't be so restrained." The middle-aged man patted Siwa's shoulder lightly, "Let's go."
Follow this man who didn't even know his name and left the maintenance workshop. , Wei Ran found dumbfounded that at some point, Teacher Dalia had already left in her rented car, and even Siwa's luggage was placed in the most conspicuous position at the door.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man who invited them to the excavation site seemed to have expected this.As if it was a serious situation, he took out his cell phone and dialed out without caring.
Soon after, a young man wearing camouflage pants and a sea soul shirt drove an off-road vehicle and stopped in front of everyone.
"Comrade Battalion Commander", a young man, got out of the car and saluted with a bang.
The middle-aged man known as the battalion commander waved his hand, and his tone was as gentle as ever, "Arrange a room for Mr. Siwa, help him send his luggage there, and then take him back to pick us up."
"Yes"
The soldier saluted again and resolutely helped pick up the shabby suitcase that Siwa had brought, leading Siwa who was a little at a loss. After getting into the off-road vehicle, he quickly turned around and drove to the resort.
"Do you want another cigarette?" As the battalion commander spoke, he took out the crumpled cigarette case again.
"No need." Wei Ran declined the other party's kindness, changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Battalion Commander, can you teach me why you gave up that consulting job?"
"No No, you're mistaken."
The battalion commander corrected, "It's not that Mr. Alexey gave up the job, he was fired."
" Why?"
Faced with Wei Ran's gossip-filled questions, the battalion commander who didn't even mention his name smiled, "As far as I know, it seems to be because he accidentally put a The priest who was going to hold a mass ceremony for the remains of the Soviet Red Army soldiers the next day was so drunk that he needed to go to the hospital for gastric lavage."
"There is also this matter"
Wei Ran's eyes widened. Professor Alexei had never mentioned this before. In his description, he quit that job because he wanted to focus all his energy on teaching< /p>
The middle-aged battalion commander spread his hands, "I was just a platoon leader at that time. I'm afraid only Mr. Alexei and the battalion commander at the time knew what happened. But I remember it very clearly. The priest was indeed taken away by an ambulance in the middle of the night, and Mr. Alexey was almost sent to prison for this."
We can ask the professor about this in person in the future. Wei Ran murmured to himself. The battalion commander just gave out the reason and he already believed it.
"In exchange of equal value, can I know the identity of that lady?" the battalion commander asked abruptly.
"You are Ms. Katyusha"
Seeing the other party nodding without hesitation, Wei Ran immediately spread his hands and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Although she is mine employer, but the commission she paid only covered the work of investigating tank driver Vajim. If you want to investigate her identity, I'm afraid you need to pay extra. Besides, my business direction only covers the time period before the end of World War II. This lady does not look like she has experienced World War II."
"So Mr. Lu Ren introduced her," the battalion commander asked abruptly.
"So are you?" Wei Ran pretended to be surprised and threw the question back.
The middle-aged battalion commander was dumbfounded.He raised his head and uttered the same sigh as Wei Ran before, "This world is really small."
"It's not as small as this circle." Wei Ran repeated the same sigh to the other party not long ago. out reply.
The middle-aged battalion commander smiled and said, "How about just pretending that I didn't ask anything?"
"Of course"
Wei Ran gave the answer simply He answered in the affirmative, but he was secretly curious about why Dalia was hiding from the battalion commander, and why the battalion commander didn't know Dalia's identity and what he meant behind it.
Before he could figure out the key, the soldier just now drove an off-road vehicle and drove Siwa back to the parking lot.
"Get in the car." The middle-aged battalion commander had no airs at all and even took the initiative to open the car door for Wei Ran.
After getting into the car politely, Wei Ran asked curiously, "Mr. Battalion Commander, why are you stationed in a nursing home?"
"Call me Kirov. You are not my soldier, so there is no need to call me battalion commander."
The battalion commander finally said his name, followed by a cheerful Explained, "We are not stationed here, it's just because the owner of this nursing home is willing to provide us with free car maintenance services and some basic security work. And living here is more free than living in a military camp, isn't it? Besides, we have a long history of cooperation with private teams."
"So is it."
Wei Ran nodded in agreement, but in fact he was secretly pouting. There is nothing free in this world
