"It should be Mrs. Kate from the UK," Wei Ran, who was busy dealing with the dog, guessed somewhat hurriedly.

“Just go and see and you’ll find out!”

Suisui had already put down her luggage while she was talking, and ran towards the library with the other girls who were also curious.

"There's news from Paris."

Anfisa, who was one step behind, whispered, "There is good news and there is bad news."

"Say it first"

Anfisa responded in a low voice, "Herbert planned to kidnap the two boys in the album in advance, but we rescued them. What they were looking for were actually a few CDs, and they have been found."

"Where's the bad news?" Wei Ran asked casually.

"Two pieces of bad news"

Anfisa paused, "The two boys are infected with AIDS, and Herbert is dead."

"died?"

"Our people are right. Herbert died in his own home."

Anfisa spoke slightly faster and said, "The monitoring equipment left behind by my sister captured the whole process of Edward coming to the door to find Herbert, the two having a quarrel, and even Edward strangling Herbert to death with his help.

"

"There's internal strife so soon?" Wei Ran couldn't help but frowned, "What's on the CD?"

"I don't know yet." Anfisa shook her head. "The CD will be sent back in about a week."

"Will the secret be leaked along the way?" Wei Ran asked cautiously.

"Won't"

Anfisa confidently made a promise, "Those CDs will be flown into the country together with a pet, and the whole process will be monitored continuously from the moment they are obtained."

At this point, the two people walking at the end had already arrived at the door of the basement. Then they heard Suisui shouting happily, "Come here and try it! It's delicious cider! There are several large barrels!"

Hearing this, Wei Ran grabbed Beria, the dog who was still so happy that he almost took off on his tail. He waited for Anfisa to go in first, and then walked in with the dog.

As soon as he entered the basement, he saw six oversized wooden barrels placed in the basement.

At this time, the girls headed by Suisui were lining up in front of one of the barrels, each holding a champagne glass, waiting to receive the wine.

“These wines taste really good”

While Suisui was speaking, she had already handed a champagne glass half full of fruit wine to Wei Ran.

Taking the cup and clinking it with the girl, Wei Ran took a sip of the mellow fruit wine, but couldn't help but think of Mrs. Barbara who committed suicide.

"This wine tastes good, what's its name?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"It says it, but I can't read it."

Suisui, who drank more than half of the glass of fruit wine in one gulp, pointed to the German words on the barrel and said, "But this wine is really delicious, fragrant and sweet. I feel a little dizzy after drinking it, but it doesn't smell of alcohol."

“It’s a very nice name”

Wei Ran glanced at the name printed on the other side of the barrel, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

"What's it called?" Suisui asked after drinking the remaining fruit wine in the cup.

"Waiting for Lily Marlene"

Wei Ran smiled and said, "Lily Marlene is a song. Look, those wine barrels still have the lyrics of that song printed on them."

"Now that you have some good wine, you must have a good story, right?"

Suisui let out a small wine burp, pointed to the wine barrels with a smile that were enough to stuff her in and stuff a Lola in there, and asked, "About those fruit wines and that song, oh,

And the story of the buoy, I want to hear the historian’s version.”

"Not a good story this time"

Wei Ran said, walked to the wine barrel that was set up, opened the faucet installed on it, and drank another glass of sweet fruit wine for himself and Suisui. Then he walked back and said, "Let's go, let's go

Have lunch and tell stories about the cider and the buoy."

"The historian's version," Suisui reminded with a smile while taking the wine glass.

"No problem, the historian's version." Wei Ran assured with the same smile.

On this sunny afternoon, many girls moved the dining table and various delicacies to the yard under one of the oak trees that dogs and foxes were no longer allowed to use as latrines. They also brought extra fruit wine, enough for everyone to drink, and ate while eating.

, while listening to Wei Ran telling stories about the buoy, the fruit wine in the cup, and the tailor shop.

After drinking and finishing the story, the girls each fell into silence. Especially Marta, the field doctor who was brought back from the Wudong battlefield by Wei Ran and Suisui, felt the helplessness of those in the story.

pain.

"It's not a good story, but it's a story worth remembering."

Under the setting sun in the evening, Marta lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and sighed. This story is far more detailed and cruel than the contents pieced together in the suicide notes that Mrs. Kate found.

"Will this story be made into a movie?" Suisui, who was already heavily tipsy, asked.

"I don't know that"

Wei Ran spread his hands and said, "It depends on the outcome of the communication between Lawyer Carlos and Mr. Culp."

"Speaking of this"

Greva, the gangster leader who joined the party halfway, drank all the wine in his glass and said, "I couldn't interrupt the story Victor was telling just now, but during these days when you are not at home, there is a middle-aged man

The man came to visit several times."

"What's the matter?" Wei Ran asked.

"Didn't say"

Greva spread his hands, "He only said he wanted to see you, but he didn't tell us his name or leave his contact information. He only said he would come to visit us again."

"What does he look like?" Wei Ran asked.

"It looks like this. I found it on the library's surveillance system."

Greva said, took out his mobile phone and sent a relatively clear video to Wei Ran.

Unfortunately, this video of less than ten seconds did capture a person, but this person was not only wearing a peaked cap, but also a mask. Moreover, the video only captured a side face, so he was the only one who could see

What was reached was only half of the opponent's mandible.

"How many times has he been here?" Wei Ran raised his head and asked Greva, who was sitting opposite.

"Two times, about a week apart. Each time he was...Mr. Victor, he's here again."

Hearing this, Wei Ran and many other girls turned around and looked in the direction of Greva's finger. Then, they saw a retro and classic Ural sidecar motorcycle driving into the yard of the library next door.

Rather than wondering who the helmeted person on the motorcycle is, what is more eye-catching is that there are three small flags that are not too big on the front of the sidecar of the motorcycle - the Soviet flag, the Russian flag,
