Late at night, in the Inta Police Station, in a room similar to a detention room, Wei Ran was sitting on one side of the table, more comfortable than at home, holding a fork with a large piece of beef in one hand, and the fingertips of the other hand.

Holding a half-burnt flower in his hand, he looked at Liu Hanzai sitting across the table with a smile.

Compared to Wei Ran, who took a sip of cigarettes, meat, and a sip of wine, Liu Hanzai had no appetite. All his attention was focused on the photo of mother and son displayed on the cell phone Wei Ran handed him.

"Where are they?"

After a long time, Liu Hanzai returned the phone to Wei Ran, looked directly at him and asked in Russian.

“local hospital”

Wei Ran stuffed the piece of meat on his fork into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it carefully, and then continued, "Maybe early tomorrow morning, they will fly to Kazan on our transport plane, and then your son will be sent

The best local hospital in Kazan for further treatment.”

Watching Liu Hanzai open his mouth to say something, Wei Ran continued without pausing, "Maybe by the time you see him next time, he will have completed the pacemaker implantation surgery."

"Why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai asked with a frown.

"How about chatting while eating?" Wei Ran pointed to the food on the table.

Hearing this, Liu Hanzai reached out and picked up a piece of bread and took a big bite. Then he picked up the fork, poked a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

At the same time, Wei Ran was also smoking a cigarette, putting down his fork and helping him pour a full enamel jar of cold beer.

"Thanks"

Liu Hanzai thanked him vaguely, picked up the enamel jar, and drank most of it in one breath.

After refilling the other party's glass of cold beer, Wei Yan put down the bottle and took a slow drag on his cigarette before answering the other party's question, "I'm just helping you because I'm curious and want to hear your story. For example, you

Are you taking it off..."

"No, I am not."

Liu Hanzai immediately denied it before Wei Ran finished speaking, but soon he picked up the enamel jar again and took a big sip, and then replied gloomily, "I...I am."

"For your son Siguang?" Wei Ran asked, pushing the cigarette case and lighter to the other party.

"right"

Liu Hanzai nodded, tremblingly took out a flower and lit it, "He has congenital heart disease. The doctor at the Children's Hospital said he needs a pacemaker to survive, but the hospital does not have a pacemaker at all, and we

There’s not that much money either.”

"So you run..."

“I came to Russia to work through formal channels four years ago.”

Ryu Hanjae seemed to be afraid that Wei Ran would misunderstand this matter, and explained continuously, "I have worked as a lumberjack in a logging camp, a welder in a mine, or guarding equipment in the winter. As long as I can make money, I am willing to do any job."

Do."

"Still haven't saved enough money?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.

"It's too late"

Liu Hanzai lowered his proud head with difficulty, "Before I came out to work, the doctor said that Siguang needs to have a pacemaker implanted as soon as possible, otherwise he may not live to be 13 years old."

"so..."

"So before we set off, my wife and I made plans."

It may have been too long since Liu Hanzai had talked to anyone, or it may have been too long since he had a chance to talk about his worries, so he just drank the cold beer in the cup in one go, without even waiting for Wei Ran, who was pouring the wine for him, to ask questions.

He took the initiative and continued, "We agreed that in the third winter when I went out to work, she would sneak our son and daughter to Russia."

"How did they get here..."

Halfway through his words, Wei Ran smiled apologetically under the other person's alert gaze, "Sorry, I seem to have asked a question that I shouldn't have asked."

After staring at Wei Ran seriously for half a minute, Liu Hanzai's eyes finally softened again. He took a hard bite of the bread, chewed it, and continued vaguely, "In that year

Before the winter, I worked hard to learn the commonly used Russian language, and used some money saved from my previous job to exchange for a job of going to the mine to guard the equipment over the winter with another person who was preparing to escape.

I couldn't see a third person in that job all winter, so I took advantage of that opportunity to pick up my wife and children, and then took them from... and fled with them to Yebao."

"Yebao is not that close to here," Wei Ran said tactfully, fearing that his curiosity would arouse the other party's vigilance again.

"yes"

Liu Hanzai sighed, "Originally, according to my plan, my wife and I only needed to find a few jobs each. In about a year, we might be able to save enough money to operate on Siguang, but we really can't.

You should go work in one of those restaurants with fat guys.”

"Did they call the police?" Wei Ran asked almost confidently.

"Salaries are paid every three months"

Ryu Hanjae explained with a wry smile, "They called the police on the weekend of the last week of the third month. In order not to be caught by the police, I took my wife and children with a Mongolian who also smuggled in and a

Together, Wu Ke and other people climbed onto a freight train that was bound for who-knows-where overnight.”

At this point, Liu Hanzai picked up the enamel pole again and took a deep breath, "When we got off the car again, we were already at the freight station of Pechora Coal Mine."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​digging for mammoth ivory?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"We originally found a good job in the coal mine canteen. Although it was hard work, we were able to get paid every week. The most important thing is that no one cared whether we had ID documents."

Liu Hanzai said regretfully, "We worked there for a long time, and then a miner who had become friends with us said that there are many Chinese tourists in Inta further north, and they like to buy mammoth ivory products. It happened to be

, our Mongolian companion has good carving skills.

So we took the freight train to Inta at the beginning of the summer and followed our miner friends to dig for mammoth ivory.”

"not so good"

Ryu Hanjae shook his head, "Not only do we have to avoid patrols and planes flying in the sky, but we also have no way to bring excavation equipment into Inta.

We didn't know this when we came here for the first time. We were reported by the front desk of the hotel just after we checked in, which cost us the water pump and generator we had bought together. Our miner friend was also arrested for assaulting the police.

He has not been released from prison yet."

Hearing this, Wei Ran took a sip of the butt of his cigarette that was about to burn out and tried hard to suppress the smile in his heart. This method of "joint prevention, joint control, group prevention and group treatment" was still the clever trick that Suisui had advocated back then.

It’s just that nowadays there are too many people who can’t stand it and want to make money. This method that worked well in the past is not so effective now.

"We are not willing to give in"

Liu Hanzai poked up a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to eat while saying, "The friend who came with us, he managed to get another set of water pumps and generators.

A van was stolen from somewhere.

This time we did not enter Inta again, but searched along the river in the forest on the outskirts. Moreover, we are not easy to light bonfires in the open air, which allowed us to successfully evade the patrols several times.

Because we went to a relatively far place and the harvest was pretty good, our Wu Kelan companion used the ivory he dug to get a lot of money and supplies."

Having said this, Liu Hanzai clenched his fists angrily, "But he also attracted the attention of others and led a group of poachers to our camp. I have warned him to be careful."

"so..."

"Those people killed my Mongolian companions and Ukolan companions"

Liu Hanzai gritted his teeth and said, "They also wanted to capture my wife and my daughter Huanxi. It was the ugly bastard who said it in order to survive before he was killed. Originally, those people didn't even know that my wife and my daughter Huanxi

The children are also nearby."

"you..."

"I was worried about being caught again, so I asked my wife and children to hide further away."

Liu Hanzai shook his head, "I escaped while the poachers were counting our harvest, but they had no intention of letting me and my family go."

"You don't plan to let them go, right?" Wei Ran said casually.

"I want to get my money back, which is money for my son's surgery."

Liu Hanzai replied seriously, "There is also a defibrillator that is being charged. I saved up money for that second-hand device for a long time to buy it. Without it, my son's life may be in danger at any time."

"What did you do before?" Weiran suddenly asked a new question, "I mean, before you came to work in Russia."

Seeing that the other party was wary again, Wei Ran did not tolerate him this time. Instead, he lit a cigarette again, relaxed his body and said, "I can help you, or not. I can help your son pay for the surgery, or I can help you."

You don’t have to pay.”

"Why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai once again asked the question he asked at the beginning.

"It doesn't cost me anything to help you."

Wei Ran replied in a puff of smoke, "I can even give you a completely legal Russian identity. With a legal identity, the harm you caused to those poachers can be regarded as legal self-defense."

Of course, I can also give your wife and children legal status, just like I just mentioned, I can help pay for your son’s surgery, which is nothing to me.”

"So why do you want to help me?" Liu Hanzai asked again like a stubborn person.

"It pleases you"

Wei Ran responded with an indifferent expression, "It's natural to be fake if you like the other person. The appearance of this man who looks to be forty years old is absolutely incompatible with adjectives such as handsome, not to mention that he is not good at this."

The reason is simply that he doesn't want to make things worse.

But don't forget, in more than two months, Gorman will stage a crash near here.

At this critical juncture, having such a special identity "Cheng Yaojin" appear here, and handling it through official channels is simply adding to the chaos.
