Gulier shook his head bitterly, "But it was only after I went there that I realized that five thousand dollars was not enough for our family to live there for long, so after wasting five hundred dollars and not finding a decent job, we returned to Inta

.

Although this place is not as good as Moscow, the money was not spent until 1995 when Tonya was born."

"Why didn't you go when Mr. Nikolai helped everyone move to Kazan?" Jima asked subconsciously.

"We had just returned from Moscow at that time. Isay helped me get a job as a train dispatcher before leaving here. With his help, Theda also found a stable job at Inta School." Guliere

Speaking of which, he said, "This is better than going to Kazan and starting over, isn't it?"

"That's right." Ji Ma couldn't help but nodded.

"I once asked my brother where he got the money."

Xida said dumbfounded, "He told me at the time that he found some things left by his father in Khabarovsk's house, and he sold those things in exchange for money, but he never said that he had sold them.

It turned out to be the ashes of prisoners of war.”

"So those ashes really exist?"

Suisui asked in surprise. She didn't expect that there was such a story behind the tombstone she accidentally discovered.

"If you are interested, you can ask my brother."

As he spoke, Xida took out a pen and a palm-sized notebook from his jacket pocket, fluently wrote down a string of addresses and a phone number, then tore them off and handed them to Jima, "Call him or go find him directly.

It will be all right."

"Thank you!" Ji Ma quickly took the note handed by the other party.

"It's my turn to ask questions."

Xida refilled the tea for everyone one by one and asked enthusiastically, "Did you just say that Tonya found a girlfriend? What is that girl's name? Where is she from?"

"She is from Samara, a beautiful white girl..."

While Jima and Xida were exchanging information, Wei Ran was looking at the young man taking a photo with Nicholas in the album, and comparing it with the scanned letter sent by Xia Shushi yesterday.

In this scan, in addition to the incomprehensible Japanese and Russian addresses, there is also a group photo.

In this group photo, a group of Japanese prisoners of war are each holding a piece of bread as big as two bricks stacked together. In the other hand, they are each stabbing a piece of steak as big as the mouth of a bowl with a fork and eating it.

joyous.

Wei Ran didn't know who the victim Yukichi Hanai was in this group photo, but he found a prisoner of war in this group photo who looked very much like Shida's father.

Thinking back to the clues we got before, Xida's brother Isai Popov was born in 1955. Just now Xida said that their father was sent to the Far East to develop timber and wood the second year after his brother Isai was born.

He worked in the mining industry. Before that, he was responsible for the management of prisoners of war.

In addition, in Theda's memories, her brother once said that their father spoke Japanese very well. And the name Isaiah Popov is also very strange, because he does not have a middle patronymic at all.

In addition, their father died unexpectedly, and their mother took them away from Khabarovsk and returned to Abez, which was inaccessible to foreigners during the Soviet era.

Based on these clues, the identity of Xida's father has actually been revealed. Looking at the slightly blurry photo of prisoners of war on the phone screen, Wei Ran is almost certain that Xida's father is most likely a fake Kwantung Army prisoner of war who broke into the Japanese country.

spy agent!

After returning home, do you want to go find Mr. Nicholas to verify your guess? Regarding this idea, Wei Ran only hesitated for less than a second and shook his head secretly.

Mr. Nikolai, who is now over ninety years old, lives a happy life in Volgograd every day. There is really no need for him to recall the past. Moreover, Theda has already given her brother’s address and phone number.

Now, if you want to satisfy your curiosity, just wait until you have the opportunity to go over and ask in person.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, even without asking, Wei Ran has already guessed. After all, for a fake repatriated prisoner of war, what other way is there than

How can the reason of bringing back the ashes of comrades and helping to send them home be better integrated into the local interpersonal relationships? Even the tombstone and cemetery are most likely props used by Xida's father to disguise his identity.

In fact, he had no doubt that Xida's father might have been married and had children in the Guizi country before his death, and had a disguised family.

The only thing he didn't know was maybe why the man whose name he didn't even know lost his life.

"Should we go to Khabarovsk to satisfy our curiosity?" Suisui leaned into Wei Ran's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Don't go there yet"

Wei Ran thought for a while and said, "Let's ask Alili and the others to cement the tombstone in the toilet later."

"Why?" Suisui asked puzzled.

"The fact that Mr. Isaiah Popov can give five thousand dollars to his sister Theda is enough to prove that the Japanese have been fooled."

Wei Ran paused, then simply changed into Chinese that only the two of them could understand, and continued, "So if it comes out that you changed the stone tablet into a toilet urinal, Isaiah Po

Bofu has caused unnecessary trouble, after all, Xida's son is still serving as Jima's younger brother."

"makes sense"

Suisui sighed regretfully, "I'm going to do what your friend did and burn a pig to ashes and send it back to that little devil."

"Do you think the son of the prisoner of war named Huajing will care whether the ashes you send back are his father's ashes or pig's ashes?"

"What do you mean?" Suisui looked at Wei Ran in confusion.

"Even if you send him a piece of dried shit and tell him it's his father, I think he'll be happy to believe it."

Wei Ran said very clearly, "For the living, that jar of ashes is a psychological comfort. If you send it, his son will have no regrets. Even if it is not his father's ashes, as long as you don't tell him

The truth is, his heart is satisfied."

Looking at Suisui who suddenly understood, Wei Ran said with a smile, "So even if it's just a piece of shit, I don't plan to send it to him. Isn't it good to let him beg for it with regret until his death?"

Not only did I not tell him that I had found it, nor did I tell him that I had not found it, I didn’t even tell him where the tombstone was photographed.”

"Comrade Wei Ran, what you said makes sense!"

Suisui patted Wei Ran's shoulder seriously, "You little comrade has great ideas and a bright future. I will cultivate you well."

"speak nicely"
