According to the exhibition board in this lighthouse, at the end of World War II, the entire head of this lighthouse was blown off, and the tower was also covered with bullet marks. Even when the war was defeated, the retreating Germans took away the top of the tower.

lens.

Of course, this is just an introduction on the display board. According to a local old man their group met at the lighthouse, the person who stole the lighthouse lens was actually the British from across the strait.

But after all, the British helped them drive away the invaders, so the charge of stealing lights could only be left to the Germans.

However, compared to this rumor, which is impossible to tell true from false and is both absurd and true, no matter whether I asked the local old man in his fifties or sixties or read the display boards in the lighthouse, there was no mention that in 1940, there was a

There was a Jewish lighthouse keeper named Spear, and there was no mention that the lighthouse once had a basement containing fine wine.

The only detailed record here is that in 1949 after the war, the locals finally remembered that the lighthouse had been renovated and rebuilt, and that it had no longer been used for ship navigation since 1979.

Lola was still driving the rented car. In the car, the girls headed by Suisui were chattering about where to go and what local delicacies they should try after arriving in Saint-Omer.

Wei Ran, on the other hand, looked out the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar A He, who was inevitably a little distracted. Fortunately, this time there was no German chain dog chasing them behind them, and the road was much easier than before.

During the drive of more than an hour, Lola followed the navigation set by Anfiya and drove the car smoothly to Saint-Omer, and finally stopped at the door of "Vanessa Binoche's Tailor Shop".

Although a long time has passed, and although the surrounding buildings are completely different from before, Wei Ran noticed before getting off the bus that this tailor shop was not opened on the original site of "Heidi's Tailor Shop", but on

across the road where the "Reynold's Grocery" used to be.

Subconsciously looking out the window at the other side of the road, he couldn't help but smile. There was a two-story building there. On the glass window on the side of the store door on the first floor, "Heidi" was clearly written in colorful paint.

"tailor shop", and a smaller one "also engaged in clothing repair, cleaning and ironing".

"Heidi's tailor shop! It's Heidi!" Suisui, who was sitting next to Wei Ran, couldn't help but exclaimed after following his attention.

"You go to Vanessa's tailor shop first." Wei Ran pointed to the other side of the road, "I'll go over there and have a look."

"Remember to come find us later"

As Suisui spoke, she already bent down and got out of the carriage. Following Sister Katenka, she took her personal doctor Marta and little nurse Lucinda into Vanessa's tailor shop.

After waiting for a moment, Wei Ran opened the car door on the other side, looked around, and walked through the not-so-wide street to the door of the tailor shop.

Through the extremely clean glass windows, he could see that the layout inside was the same as before.

The only regret is that the sliding anti-theft mesh door of this store has been locked, and there is a sign on it that reads "Closed for business, please go to the opposite side for custom-made clothing."

Smiling silently, Wei Ran strolled around to the side and took a look through the decorative hole on the courtyard wall.

After all this time, there is still a simple family air-raid shelter surrounded by flowers in this yard.

However, there is a lonely tombstone beside the air-raid shelter - "Vanessa Binoche".

"Heidi will be able to go home soon..."

Wei Ran muttered silently, turned back to the roadside, and walked into Vanessa's tailor shop with Lola, who had just parked the car.

The layout here is really not much different from that of the store opposite, and even the clothing styles sold are slightly retro.

Naturally, except for a few old people who come to mend clothes, the business here does not look very good.

But the female shopkeeper who looked to be in her fifties or sixties didn't seem to care. She didn't even stand up to greet so many young people who suddenly walked into the store. She just politely greeted the sound of the wind.

He said hello with the ringing bell and continued to concentrate on ironing a gray suit.

"Do we want to buy something?" Suisui lowered her voice and asked Wei Ran who had just come in.

"Is there anyone you like?" Wei Ran let the other person hold his arm.

"The card girl just asked for help. The ones displayed here are all trial samples. All styles of clothes can only be made to order. One set will take at least half a month, which is too long."

After finishing speaking, she pointed to the counter closest to the bar and said, "But they actually sell antique pocket watches here. I'm going to buy one."

Hearing this, Wei Ran walked over with great interest, only to find that there were at least hundreds of second-hand pocket watches in the display cabinet.

Copper cases, silver cases, and gold cases are all available. Correspondingly, the prices of these pocket watches are also ranging from low to high.

After some picking and choosing, Suisui bought a fashionable and accurate silver pocket watch at a high price of 55 euros, and ended her shopping in this store happily.

"Going to Paris next?"

After getting back into the car parked at the door, Suisui didn't wait for Lola to pick up the speed and asked while shaking the pocket watch in her hand.

“Go to Paris”

Wei Ran nodded happily. This time he asked Suisui to bring Kamei for help. He wanted to use the simplest and most direct excuse to let Mrs. Kate find Vanessa's descendants as soon as possible. On the one hand, with the cover of these girls,

A reasonable trip to Paris is another.

After hearing what Wei Ran said, the young driver Lola immediately increased her speed slightly. According to the navigation display, this place is more than 250 kilometers away from Paris, and it would take her three and a half hours of continuous driving to get there.

Almost at the same time that Lola drove the car out of Saint-Omer, Wei Ran's cell phone also heard a pleasant ringtone.

"It's Lawyer Carlos calling."

As Wei Ran spoke, he answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Victor, are you still in Brighton?" Lawyer Carlos asked as soon as the call was connected.

"We are on our way to Paris"

Wei Ran smiled and replied, "We can see the Eiffel Tower in ten minutes at most."

"In that case, let me take up these few minutes before you see the Eiffel Tower."

Lawyer Carlos said with undisguised pleasure, "Now is the time for intelligence sharing."

"It seems there is good news?"

“Good news indeed”

There was already a deep smile in Lawyer Carlos' tone, "Just now, Henry's children, Kate and her daughter understood each other, and as a family, they entertained Heidi who came from Liverpool.

Ms. Binoche, and Mr. Louis Basten, whom Kate personally invited from Rothenburg, Germany."

After a pause, lawyer Carlos continued, "According to their deliberations, Heidi Binoche, of course, I am talking about the lady who escaped from France to the UK in 1940. She and her fiancé Mr. Spear,

It will be moved to a farm in Liverpool on September 15 this year. At that time, Vanessa, who was separated from them back then, will also be moved to that farm."

"It seems that their family can finally be reunited," Wei Ran said with a smile.

"Yes, there is no better ending than this."

Lawyer Carlos said as if he just remembered, "Also, Mr. Louis, whom you haven't met yet, plans to give you a gift."

"What gift?" Wei Ran and Suisui, who was listening to Kami's translation, looked at each other.

However, lawyer Carlos gave it a try and said, "The gift is already on the way. You will probably see it when you return to Kazan."

"Looks like I have to go back early."

"It doesn't matter if it's late, that gift probably won't come too soon."

At this point, lawyer Carlos also changed the subject, "So you are going to Paris to find Miss Kou Kou?"

"Afflor was busy with her business all around Labor Day."

Wei Ran looked at Suisui again and continued with a smile, "So she wants to find good friends to go on vacation together."

"I wish you a happy stay in Paris" Carlos sent his blessing again.

After Wei Ran exchanged pleasantries and hung up the phone, Suisui opened the car window, holding the pocket watch she just bought and peering out.

"What are you touching?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"I'll see if I can see the Eiffel Tower in ten minutes." Suisui's serious tone immediately made all the girls in the car laugh.

"Lola, Aurora hopes to see the Eiffel Tower within ten minutes, so please drive faster." Wei Ran said equally seriously.

"We should have rented a French fighter jet and rushed on the road," Lola said helplessly.

Among the many girls joking with each other, the three-hour drive seemed much shorter. But even so, when they arrived in Paris, it was already the evening when the sun was setting.

"You are finally here!"

Before Lola could park the car, Kou Kou, who had greeted her at the school gate in advance, opened the car door from the outside and got in familiarly, "Go directly to my house! We can have a good drink tonight!"

"Isn't your grandfather at home?" Suisui asked the other party to sit down next to her while the Indian housekeeper Tantu replaced Lola's driving job.

"He went back to the town where we used to live."

Coco waited for Laura to get into the carriage, and immediately closed the door and said, "We will continue to run our old butcher shop, and by the way, we are going to get married to the widow who runs the bakery."

"What an enviable old age life," Wei Ran joked with a smile as the car started moving.

"You said that, I must have misunderstood something." Kou Kou laughed and made a joke about Wei Ran.

There was still laughter all the way, and in less than 20 minutes, the car drove into the underground parking lot of the high-end apartment where Kou Kou lived.

Deliberately one step behind, Wei Ran took advantage of helping the Katenka sisters unload their luggage and heard Anfisa say in a low voice in Italian, "Boss, you have bought all the things you want, and now they are just a few steps away."

It is placed in the fire exit of a shopping mall less than a kilometer away. We will suggest going to the shopping mall later, and I will remind you then."

"Okay" Wei Ran responded, not forgetting to pick up a huge suitcase.

"Do we need to arrange a route to transport it?" Anfisa asked in a low voice.

"Need not"

Wei Ran lifted the second suitcase down as he spoke, "I have already made arrangements."
