At noon on the third day after arriving in the polar town of Tula, the Aurora Tavern was unusually not open.

In the spacious hall on the first floor, on both sides of the dining table under the crystal chandelier, Maya and the middle-aged boss named Vitaly sitting opposite the table, witnessed by Wei Ran, Suisui and others,

Signed a transfer agreement for the building below.

"Congratulations, Mr. Vitali."

Suisui said happily, "Soon you will become a professional manager of a health resort hotel."

"Thanks to Miss Aurora, I can't wait to take my family to Kazan." Vitaly, the former owner of Aurora Tavern, said with a trace of sincerity in his tone that made Wei Ran and Jima wait.

Gratitude beyond human understanding.

“We all understand how you feel.”

Suisui glanced at Maya's thumb pointing at her behind her back, and said with a normal expression, "After the transfer procedures are completed, Dmitri will send you and your family to Irkutsk, and then you need to

You and your family will have to switch to a regular flight and rush to Kazan. When you arrive in Kazan, someone will receive you. Arrangements have been made, including the school your daughter will transfer to."

"Then let's not waste time"

Vitaly looked at each other with his wife standing behind him and his daughter who had come back from leave. He stood up and said eagerly, "Let's go through the formalities now."

"Maya, remember to pay." Suisui instructed, still looking calm and calm.

“We’ll be back soon”

Before Maya could finish her words, Jima had already stood up. Like a professional butler, he stood behind Maya in a dignified manner. While the former was getting up, he gently moved his chair back a certain distance.

Watching Jima and Maya follow Vitaly and his family out of the closed tavern, board the rented large off-road vehicle and drive away, Suisui, who had just looked like a human being, immediately cheered happily and directly drove away

He hung on Wei Ran's body.

"You have bought this place, what next?" Wei Ran asked a key question.

"how could I know"

Suisui replied nonchalantly, "I didn't pay for it. Let Maya have a headache for this kind of thing."

"makes sense"

When Wei Ran heard this, he was too lazy to think too much. He waited until the crazy girl in his arms calmed down, then asked her to sit down and wait patiently.

Perhaps because the town was not that big, Jima and Maya drove back to the tavern in less than half an hour.

"Where's Vitali?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"The family has been sent to the airport by Dmitri."

While Jima was speaking, he had already walked into the bar. He reached out and pulled down a bottle of good-looking red wine from the wine rack and opened it. He also picked up a few goblets and gave them to everyone, including the Katenka sisters.

Pour a small half glass of red wine.

"They are quite anxious." Wei Ran shook his head in confusion, touched the cup with Suisui beside him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

"Thanks to Aurora," Maya said gratefully, "Vitaly now insists that if you arrive in Kazan one day late, you will lose one day's money."

"Ignore them"

Suisui put down her cup and asked the question Wei Ran asked just now, "Maya, you bought this tavern, and what next? Are you not going to open it?"

"of course not"

Maya then put down the cup and explained, "Dmitri will come over later to temporarily help run the tavern. Mr. Culp said that someone will take over the place next."

"So we don't have to stay here anymore?"

Ji Ma joined the conversation at the right time, "Maya, in this case, how about we stay and help Victor and Aurora?"

"This scumbag really knows how to talk."

With a smile on her face, Suisui mocked in Chinese that only she and Wei Ran could understand, "We need his help?"

"He is not even as useful as Beria." Wei Ran also gave his opinion with a smile on his face, and then bumped fists with Suisui in tacit understanding.

"What are you two secretly talking about?" Ji Ma asked warily.

"It's nothing." Wei Ran spread his hands and finally helped his good friend without leaving any trace. "You guys can discuss it slowly. We will set off to Needham downstream first."

"Sister Ma is so pitiful"

Suisui amused herself by making a final joke in Chinese, and then walked out after greeting the Katenka sisters who were sitting aside to watch the fun.

Almost at the same time that they started the two cars, Jima and Maya also chased them out of the tavern. At the same time, Dmitri also drove over in a tattered van.

"Dmitri, I'll leave the tavern to you."

Ji Ma sent the key chain that he had just used to lock the door of the pub directly along the car window that the former had just lowered. Then he anxiously greeted Maya to get in the car, stepped on the accelerator and caught up with Wei Ran who had just driven out of the parking lot.

et al.

Dmitri, who was about to say something, weighed the key chain in his hand, and then simply turned off the engine. He waited until the three large off-road vehicles completely disappeared around the corner of the joint, and then slowly started

He took out the satellite phone from his pocket and dialed.

While he was communicating with the person on the other end through his mobile phone, Weiran also drove an off-road vehicle into the frozen Lower Tunguska River.

Although it is only mid-to-early October, the river has already completely frozen, and some trucks and off-road vehicles that are not too heavy have already replaced the work of summer cargo ships and have begun to speed on the flat ice.

"Jima, how about you lead the way?" Wei Ran deliberately said on the radio channel, "After all, you are the only one who knows the specific location of the old teacher."

Knowing that Wei Ran was helping him, Ji Ma immediately agreed, stepped on the accelerator and drove to the front, doing unnecessary work of leading the way.

"I bet you a bottle of beer that scumbag Ji won't be able to take advantage at all." Suisui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with certainty.

"Maybe I'll have to suffer some hardships," Wei Ran agreed with some anticipation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of which, Jima is not stupid, but he was a bit of a dog-licker after meeting Maya. However, Maya, this girl, is also a bit too smart.

.So even though the current Ji Ma looks like he is about to eat meat, it is actually hard to say who is the hunter and who is the prey.

While teasing Jima, a group of three cars drove along the winding river for almost half an hour. Finally, a gathering area smaller than the town of Tula appeared on the right side of the river.

What’s more interesting is that on the island in the middle of the river facing the town, there is an iron sign that is conspicuous enough. On it, sky-blue Cyrillic letters with red edges spell out a sentence - "On the other side is the river."

It’s Needham”.

Driving up the slope paved with snow and up to the river bank, you can almost have a panoramic view of this triangular town distributed along the river bank without getting out of the car.

"The Lauritz we are looking for lives at the very edge of the southwest of the town, farthest from the river."

On the radio channel, Jima explained based on the clues he collected the day before, "It is said that the roof of his house is brown, which is very good... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Jima put the walkie-talkie aside angrily. Most of the roofs of the buildings outside the car window were covered with a layer of snow, and the color of the roofs could not be seen at all.

Fortunately, Jima finally remembered that he had a mouth. After he warmly and cordially asked several town residents, he finally parked the car at the door of a wooden house close to the forest.

Similar to most buildings in the polar regions, this wooden house is also supported by load-bearing pillars driven into the permafrost layer to a height of about one meter above the ground. On one side of the wooden house, there is a garage also made of logs.

The translucent plastic sheet was covered, and the van parked inside could still be vaguely seen.

When the three cars stopped one after another outside the iron wall that was only one and a half meters high, a man wearing suspenders and jeans with round glasses on his face and a tangled hair and beard emerged from the wooden house that looked particularly warm.

He was neatly groomed and looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

"Are you here as guests at my house?" The old man smiled and said hello to Wei Ran and others who opened the car door.

"If you are Mr. Lauritz, then we may have to prepare a door-to-door gift." Jima spoke while shaking the two bottles of high-end champagne in his hand.

"Good boy, come in quickly." The old man named Lauritz waved to everyone gently.

"He said I was a good boy"

Jima took the champagne brought from the tavern and left the off-road vehicle with Maya, who was too lazy to talk to him.

When the six of them walked into the courtyard and into the warm wooden house, Lauritz said, "Are you the students I taught? Why don't I remember that there are

twin?"

"Mr. Lauritz, it's a pity that we are not your students."

Dima said seriously, "We found you through Ruslan who works at Tula Pier."

"Ruslan?"

Lauritz immediately looked like he suddenly understood, "I remembered that he called me yesterday afternoon and said that a young man from a big city wanted to ask me something, so he was talking about you?"

"If nothing else, it will be us." Wei Ran smiled and took over the topic.

"Then sit down first."

Lauritz warmly greeted everyone to sit down around the long table in the living room. While Ji Ma helped introduce Wei Ran and others, he slowly walked to the fireplace and started making coffee.

At the same time, everyone was also looking at the layout of the house.

There are not many pieces of furniture in this room, but they are quite interesting. The most eye-catching thing is the various musical instruments placed on the shelves in the corner of the living room, ranging from accordions to violins to flutes and harmonicas.

In addition, there are photo frames hanging on the surrounding walls. In those photo frames, they are basically photos of Lauritz and a very elegant woman with various children.

"Mr. Lauritz, you must be a music teacher, right?" Suisui couldn't help but ask.

"I am a geography teacher and an amateur photographer after retirement."

Lauritz poured a cup of coffee for Suisui and explained with a smile, "My wife is the music teacher. If you want to ask questions about music, I'm afraid you have to wait a few days. She took the children there the day before yesterday.
