"grass!"

In the bedroom on the second floor where he couldn't see his fingers, Wei Ran cursed in his heart. For no other reason than that the already full satchel could not be put back into the metal notebook!

Hearing the sound of picking locks downstairs becoming more and more clear, Wei Ran didn't think too much and locked all the four safe doors as quickly as possible. Then he quickly walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain.

Glanced outside.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person breaking the door outside seemed to be Vanessa!

Isn’t this girl studying law? Why does she still have a habit of sliding doors and picking locks?

After thinking secretly for a moment, Wei Ran relaxed somewhat. However, he did not go downstairs to open the door for him, but hid behind the curtains and peered quietly.

After tinkering for a minute, the girl successfully pried open the store door on the first floor, and then locked it from the inside.

Seeing this, Wei Ran walked out of the bedroom quietly, went to the stairs, stuck his head down, and secretly looked at the girl holding the oil lamp in her hand. He picked up the clothing pole at the door of the counter with familiarity, and familiarly picked up the clothes rail at the door of the counter.

She walked to the shelf with familiarity and took out an extra thick white dress, a slim khaki windbreaker, a pair of knitted stockings and a pair of black mid-calf leather boots with thick heels.

As if she had determined that she was the only one here, the girl did not move at all. She casually put the oil lamp in her hand on the shelf, and then took off her own nightgown and slippers.

It's rare to be able to feast your eyes on it, so Wei Ran will not be at a loss for himself. And the girl downstairs who is separated from him by a shelf is also wearing the clothes he just selected one by one in the dim light of the oil lamp.

I had good clothes and shoes, and then I walked around in a circle with great satisfaction. Finally, I didn't forget to choose a hat for myself and put it on my head.

After getting ready, the girl stuffed the clothes she had just changed into a large handbag that she picked up from the shelf. Then she took two more slim-fitting sweaters and a few pairs as if she was going to the supermarket.

Stockings, gloves and scarves were stuffed into the bag.

Seeing Vanessa getting closer and closer to the stairs leading to the second floor, Wei Ran quietly retreated to the kitchen.

Soon, Vanessa, who extinguished the oil lamp, climbed up the stairs to the second floor, walked straight into the bedroom, opened the curtains a gap, and took advantage of the moonlight coming in from outside, sitting with her legs crossed.

In front of a safe, he poked the keyhole with a small tool in his hand.

Under Wei Ran's prying eyes, this courageous girl tinkered for almost an hour, but still failed to open the safe door.

Finally, she snorted angrily, stood up holding the safe, grinned, and stretched her sore legs. Then she walked out of the bedroom and ran down the second floor. A moment later, Wei Ran also heard the sound at the door of the store.

The sound of someone being locked from the outside.

Through the window, he watched the female thief carrying the bag cross the street and enter the tailor shop and lock the security mesh door.

Wei Ran was not in a hurry to leave. He just went downstairs, lit the candlestick and placed it on the counter. Then he took out the wooden box from the gas mask bag that he had put in it at the end without even having time to take a closer look.

On the contrary, when he opened it, he found that, except for a hunting gold case pocket watch, the remaining space contained a stack of letters filled with words and seemed to be stamped, signed and pressed.

Hand printed paper.

First, I picked up the pocket watch and looked at it through an oil lamp. The case was engraved with complicated patterns, and in the middle was a complex, indescribable coat of arms.

Gently open the watch case, and in addition to the original timing function, the black-on-white dial also has four small dials distributed in a cross shape, which respectively provide the functions of perpetual calendar, moon phase, chronograph and day of the week display.

He opened the case on the other side with great interest, but there was a long name engraved in French only, which made him suspect that it was a Russian name: Maria Ludovica Leopoldina Franziska.

Therese Josepha Lucia.

Who the hell is this?

Wei Ran frowned. After all, he was just a scholar of war history, and the stinky and ridiculous history of Europe was really difficult to remember. But the only thing he could be sure of was that just by looking at the length of the name, he knew that this

I'm afraid the person's status is not low.

Putting the pocket watch into the gas mask bag, Wei Ran picked up the remaining papers in the box and flipped through them.

Both expected and unexpected, this thick stack of paper was basically filled with usury loan receipts and a few equity certificates.

What especially surprised him was that there was actually a receipt signed by "Heidi Binoche" and "Vanessa Binoche"!

According to the records on this usurious loan note, the money was owed by the sisters' father seven or eight years ago, and the sisters are regarded as inheriting their father's debt.

Not only that, even half of the shares of the tailor shop seemed to be used to repay the debt. Accordingly, the equity certificate was affixed to the back of the debt document.

So that girl came over late at night to sneak in and pick the lock, just for this list?

After some muttering, Wei Ran folded the debt note in his hand and stuffed it into the compartment of the gas mask bag.

After trying to put away the gas mask bag again to no avail, Wei Ran simply stuffed the wooden box in again, carefully opened the locked store door, and after some observation, locked the door of the grocery store and ran back quickly.

On the second floor of the tailor shop.

Waiting until the bedroom door was locked, Wei Ran was a little disappointed. After surviving this busy period, he did not feel the indescribable sense of brain shutdown. Obviously, the pack of yellow and white things he had just stolen was far away.

Far less than the weight of ten kilograms.

He lit the oil lamp and adjusted it to maximum brightness. Wei Ran placed all the stolen items on the bed and patiently tried them one by one.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After wasting almost an hour, he discovered that the only thing that could be put into the gas mask bag and stored in the metal book was

The double-edged dagger, the box of usury receipts, and the gold-cased pocket watch whose previous owner was unknown.

As for other valuable things, not even a single note can be put in.

It's so picky... Wei Ran muttered, randomly found a drawer, and poured it all in.

I still have to make a trip...

Wei Ran had no intention of taking a rest. After blowing out the oil lamp, he left the bedroom and went into the grocery store by familiar means, holding a flashlight wrapped in a white towel and rummaging through it carefully.

After searching carefully, he actually found some good things. In a box with a lid at the bottom of one of the shelves, there was a box of cameras. These cameras included both Rollei and Leica.

There is also a British military ensign.

In another box next to it, there was an oxygen bottle that was slightly larger than the mineral water bottle and was painted entirely in black.

This oxygen bottle not only has the abbreviation "RAF" of the British Royal Air Force on it, but also has a respirator mask that also seems to belong to the British Air Force attached to the valve. However, there are still some blackened blood stains on the mask.

After looking at the pressure gauge on the valve, Wei Yan stuffed the fragment that seemed to have been removed from the pilot's body into his bag.

He has not forgotten that the key clue item this time is the rescue buoy. It is best not to use this almost full oxygen bottle, but if it is needed, it can really be a life-saving thing.

After closing the bag's pocket flap, Wei Ran cautiously tried to see if he could put it into the metal book.

Seeing that the satchel disappeared successfully this time, Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had roughly guessed that although the broken notebook had arranged such a stealing task for him, it was obvious that he could not steal anything.

Continuing to browse through the row of shelves, Wei Ran successfully stuffed a small jar of sugar cubes, a bottle of cognac, and what China would call a Huakou Luzi into his bag at this time.

pistol.

Seeing that the weight was about the same, Wei Ran was about to withdraw when he heard another movement from the locked store door behind him!

Wei Ran subconsciously turned off the flashlight, and before the other party could pry open the door, Wei Ran quietly climbed to the second floor again.

"Squeak"

When Wei Ran had just climbed halfway, the originally locked shop door was pushed open from the outside. When he climbed up to the second floor with great difficulty, he happened to hear that the door was locked from the inside.

the sound of.

Immediately afterwards, a dim yellow beam illuminated the interior of the grocery store.

"Sister, come here, I just saw a set of clothes that suits you very well, and I also saw several rolls of very good quality fabric!"

At the counter on the first floor, Vanessa held up a German square box flashlight and whispered excitedly.

"Vanessa, you are stealing!" Heidi's voice was lower, and she was obviously very flustered.

"We have paid so much interest over the years, what do we do with a few rags from that old guy?"

Vanessa said nonchalantly, "And I am confident enough to pry open those damn safes this time. As long as we find the original IOU, we will never have to be sucked by that old thing again."

"But Victor..."

"Didn't he also get tricked by that damn old guy? If we hadn't taken him in, he would have been captured by those Germans a few months ago."

Vanessa, who was still wearing the stolen clothes, had already taken off a woolen coat on a clothes drying pole while she was talking, and then took off a light green winter skirt and a pair of long riding boots and handed them to the woman wearing only the clothes behind her.

Heidi in a nightgown.

"Quickly change them! Let's get some other things back later." Vanessa said, taking another pair of knitted stockings from the shelf and handing them to her sister.

"Vanessa, we will hurt Victor if we do this." Heidi said in a hurry.

"Sister, most of these things are stolen."

Vanessa said matter-of-factly, "Since it was stolen, isn't it normal for it to be stolen? And how can you blame Victor for such a thing? Hum! That old guy probably won't dare to come back in a short time. So.

Hurry up and put it on, I'll bring over the fabric I just saw."

After a moment of hesitation, Heidi finally took off her nightgown and put on the outfit Vanessa chose for her.

"this is for you!"

Before Vanessa finished speaking, she had already placed a top hat on her sister's head, and then handed over a pair of sheepskin gloves and a scarf. She picked up the nightgown her sister had just taken off and stuffed it into the handbag she was carrying.

Li whispered happily, "This way we will have new clothes to wear this winter."

"Can..."

Heidi was about to say something, but Vanessa had already stood on tiptoe and picked up two large rolls of fabric from a shelf.

At this time, Heidi, who was about to say something, almost subconsciously took the two rolls of fabric, and Vanessa also showed a proud expression on her face.

However, just at this moment, the sound of motorcycles came from the street outside the door!
