"When I was 12 years old, my parents and I moved to this house."

Before the car door opened, Henry took the initiative to introduce the building on the roadside, "I bought this place again last year, and I also found photos of me, Sean, and Kate in the attic where I often went when I was a kid.

"

As he spoke, Henry got out of the car with difficulty and greeted the three Wei Ran people into the villa. At the same time, he kept saying, "In view of some things I don't want Lawyer Carlos to know, so I didn't invite him."

Get up and have dinner together.”

Wei Ran naturally understood this and translated it to Suisui and Lu Xinda.

Following Henry into the villa, Wei Ran found to his surprise that there was a Chinese Eight Immortals table in the living room.

Forget it, what was on the table was a red copper hot pot with a charcoal fire, as well as plates of beef and mutton that seemed to have just been cut, and various vegetables. Even Wei Ran and the other three saw sugar on the plate.

Garlic and various dipping sauces.

"I specially prepared it"

Henry saw Wei Ran and Suisui looking at him in surprise, and explained in French with a little satisfaction, "There are several very good Chinese restaurants in Brighton. Although I rarely go there, Carlos is very familiar with Chinese cuisine.

He recommended it to me."

"Mr. Henry is interested"

Wei Ran said a polite word in French, greeted the two girls who came in, took off their windbreakers, washed their hands, and sat down at the Eight Immortals table, which actually didn't match the surrounding environment.

There is no doubt that although this table is a bit out of place, the hot pot with its familiar aroma is particularly suitable for this humid and cold weather, and it has also captured the appetites of the three Wei Ran people very accurately.

Henry, who had a full stomach during the chat and kept saying that there was something he didn't want Carlos' lawyer to know, didn't mention a word about the buoy. Instead, the conversation all revolved around the radio set he bought in the evening. From time to time, he

She will also switch to English and chat with Suisui and Lu Xinda about topics related to Chinese food.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, when Wei Ran and the two girls had filled their stomachs, Mr. Henry seemed to have just remembered and warmly invited them to the second floor to have a good look around his various collections.

kind of radio station.

"These are what I found in the rescue buoy after I bought the farm."

While Henry was speaking, he had already opened a long wooden box, then opened a piece of kraft paper and took out a long package that was vacuum-sealed.

"This is..."

"The Owen-style parachute suit was a piece of equipment used by many British bomber crews at the time."

Before Henry finished speaking, he had already tore open the vacuum plastic bag with a "chi--" sound, and then motioned to Wei Ran for help, taking out the skydiving suit and placing it on the long table in the center of the collection room.

.

Unfortunately, this skydiving suit is not complete. What has been preserved is only a green jacket that resembles a women's jumpsuit that "pees all over" and the inflatable liner inside the jacket. The whole thing is still intact, but

The tattered umbrella cloth was stained with blood.

"There is no innermost one-piece flight suit, only the outer skydiving suit."

Henry said, "When I found it, it was locked in a locker inside the rescue buoy. It was also vacuumed and packed in an inconspicuous wooden box. I originally thought I could find something on it.

Clues.”

Hearing this, Wei Ran took out the gloves he had taken off in the barn and put them on again, and carefully inspected the skydiving suit.

Unfortunately, as Henry said, there are no valuable clues on this skydiving suit.

"Are there any other discoveries?" Wei Ran raised his head and asked.

"There is one last discovery, which I don't want lawyer Carlos to know about."

It was only then that Henry took out a plastic gun box from the long wooden box, opened it and pushed it to Wei Yan.

Inside the gun case was a badly cracked and alkali-repellent cowhide holster. He opened the holster gently and Weiran pulled out the pistol inside. This was a P38 pistol issued by Germany during World War II!

“Just like that old movie”

Seeing Wei Ran looking at him, Henry said excitedly, "A British bomber crashed on its way back from completing a bombing mission. The surviving crew members climbed onto a German rescue buoy and captured the German who was waiting for rescue.

The pilots were eventually rescued by a British warship.

Victor, maybe what happened in that buoy was exactly what was performed in the movie!"

"How can there be such a perfect coincidence..."

Wei Ran muttered secretly, then stuffed the pistol back into the cracked holster and fastened the plastic gun case.

"Mr. Henry, I have to consider whether to accept this employment, especially since you are also planning to make the story of the buoy into a movie, which forces me to make a more cautious decision.

If I ultimately decide to take over the job, I will have my assistant and the head of the studio contact you to discuss further issues."

"No problem, I have enough time and patience." Henry replied very openly.

"Once I carry out the investigation, you may need to send some relevant things to Kazan, Russia. Some analysis work can only be carried out in my studio. Of course, I may still come here to conduct a detailed analysis of the buoy.

examine."

"There's no problem with these!" Henry agreed again.

At this point, Wei Ran wisely stopped the topic. He followed the other person downstairs and exchanged some pleasantries. Then he excused himself as a little tired and left with Suisui and Lu Xinda, leaving Robert, a black man who didn't know when he would come back.

, drove the three of them to a fairly luxurious hotel.

When the three of them moved into a suite reserved for them, Suisui immediately said in Chinese, "This Mr. Henry is not easy to deal with."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is really difficult to deal with, and I always feel that he and us are not telling the truth."

As Wei Ran spoke, he waved his hand to signal Suisui and Lu Xinda not to continue walking into the room. Instead, he took out his cell phone and dialed lawyer Carlos.

The two communicated in German on the phone, and Wei Ran said, "Let's go, let's change to a hotel."

"Don't you live here?" Lu Xinda, who had already put on slippers, asked, carrying the pair of boots that she was about to go to the bathroom to give them a good brush.

"Stay somewhere else, it's windy here."

After Wei Ran finished speaking, he winked at Suisui, who immediately understood his hint and even laughed and urged Lu Xinda to put on her dirty boots again.

Not long after, Carlos, who was also wearing a windbreaker, knocked on the door, took the three of them out of the hotel, got into a commercial vehicle waiting at the door and drove away.

Along the way, Wei Ran and Carlos did not communicate at all, and Suisui and Lu Xinda also remained slightly nervous and silent.

Not long after, the car stopped at the entrance of a hotel. After a group of four people got out of the car, Carlos immediately took them into the hotel to register, and led the three of them into a luxurious suite on the top floor.

.

"Just stay here," lawyer Carlos said in English until the door closed.

"Wait a moment"

Wei Ran said hello in his native language, and then carefully inspected the three-bedroom suite until he was sure there was nothing wrong, and then nodded towards Suisui.

While the two girls were pushing their luggage back to the room, lawyers Wei Ran and Carlos also sat on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"I guess Mr. Henry must have told you a completely different story, right?" Attorney Carlos slowly lit a cigar and asked in anticipation.

"Mr. Carlos left midway, maybe it was an opportunity to tell Mr. Henry a new story, right?" Wei Ran said, also taking out the cigarette case, taking out the half cigarette again, holding it in his mouth and lighting it.

Lawyer Carlos smiled noncommittally, but did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked bluntly, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"In case I accept the job offered by Mr. Henry, why not ask Mr. Carlos to negotiate the commission with him on my behalf?" Wei Ran said with a smile.

"I also have to collect commissions," Carlos reminded in a joking tone.

"You can just increase the amount of commission you need." Wei Ran spread his hands indifferently, "Of course, the premise is that I decide to take over the job."

"Deal!" Carlos smiled and extended his hand to Wei Ran.

The two smart people shook hands, and Carlos suggested as if he took office immediately, "In this case, I suggest you take a flight out of Brighton early tomorrow morning and go anywhere. Anyway, the winter here is really hard except for the fireplace."

There is nothing worth paying attention to."

"We'll buy the plane tickets later." Wei Ran nodded happily and accepted the other party's suggestion.

"so be it"

Carlos took a puff of his cigar and said in a puff of smoke, "I will find a non-rude excuse for you to leave in a hurry in front of Henry. Okay, go to bed early today. I won't see you off when you leave tomorrow."

Already."

After saying that, Carlos stood up with a cigar in hand, moved his knee joints, walked out of the room slowly, and helped him close the door.

After stubbing out the cigarette that he had only taken two puffs on, Wei Ran walked into the bedroom and mentioned to Suisui that he would leave tomorrow. The latter didn't ask much after hearing this, took out his cell phone and started busy buying air tickets.

Of course, leaving in such a hurry was not because I was afraid of Mr. Henry. It was just that judging from the current situation, there was no point in staying. Instead, I had to worry about distinguishing whether what Henry said was the truth or a lie.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to go back and rest early, wait until the price is agreed upon before talking about anything else, and by the way, you can also develop the accidentally picked up negatives as soon as possible to see if there is anything interesting in them.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, when it was just dawn, the three people from Weiran were pushing their suitcases. Without even completing the check-out procedures, they took a taxi to London Airport and flew to Paris first, and then went through a long transfer wait.

, and then got on a flight to Kazan.

In the early morning of March 3, Weiran and the other three finally walked out of Kazan Airport smoothly. Following Anfisa who came to pick them up, they got into the armored commercial vehicle and drove straight to their home on the shores of Kaban Lake.

At the same time, Culp and Teacher Anna also drove to the parking lot of Time Library early.

"Did Victor get into any trouble?"

Anna, who had been helping out in the library for a few days, took out a key as she spoke, and opened the locked door of the library with familiarity.
