When Sokov walked into the house, Anna, who had arrived home early, greeted him and asked impatiently: "Misha, how is the situation? Has the rescue started?"
"Not yet." Sokov slowly shook his head and said: "Because the geological exploration team responsible for the rescue work does not carry all the tools, I am afraid it will have to wait a few more hours before the rescue work can be officially launched."
"What, how many more hours do we have to wait?" Anna said with shock: "Aren't Khabarov's lives in danger?"
"Anna, it is still unknown whether Khabarov is among the people trapped underground." Sokov, who was in a irritable mood, said impatiently: "Secondly, when will the geological exploration team start rescue, it is not me.
Such a small person can decide."
"I'm sorry, Misha." Just as Sokov was about to walk towards the study, Anna hugged him from behind and pressed her face against his vest: "I'm also worried about Khabarov's safety, so I'm a little anxious.
."
Sokov, who was hugged by Anna, realized that he was worried about Khabarov's safety, so he seemed a little restless. After taking two deep breaths, he raised his hand and patted the back of Anna's hand gently: "
Anna, you rest for a while, I'll go cook."
Anna let go of her hand around Sokov's waist and said, "You just came back, so I'll cook. You go to the study and sit for a while. I'll call you when you have dinner."
Although Anna asked Sokov to go to the study to rest, Sokov followed her into the kitchen and prepared dinner together.
While the two were having dinner, Sokov's phone on the table rang.
Seeing clearly that the call was from Victoria, Sokov suddenly became excited. He said to Anna: "It's police officer Victoria." Then he answered the phone: "Vika, has the search and rescue work started?"
Unexpectedly, Victoria hesitated for a moment before replying: "No, Misha, I haven't received a call from the lieutenant so far. But don't worry, if there is any progress at Hoflin Hospital,
, the lieutenant will notify me as soon as possible."
Knowing that it was not about Khabarov, Sokov felt a little disappointed: "Then what can you do?"
"It's like this. I'm out investigating a case and I don't know when I can go home." Victoria said on the phone: "If you are free later, please come to my house and help me take care of my great-grandmother."
"No problem, no problem." When Victoria asked him to take care of Lida, Sokov agreed very readily: "I'll go there after dinner."
Seeing Sokov hang up the phone, Anna said with some disappointment: "I thought the rescue work at Hoflin Hospital had already started, but it turned out that I was overjoyed."
Sokov also thought about it at this time. The rescue was not something that an insignificant person like himself could participate in. The only thing he could do now was to stay at home and wait for news instead of running to the scene to give help.
The police caused chaos.
After dinner, Sokov was about to help Anna clean up the kitchen, but he was pushed out: "I'll clean up the kitchen. You'd better go to Officer Victoria's house quickly. It's not safe for the old lady to be alone at home."
"Okay, then I'll go downstairs first." Sokov grabbed the phone on the table and told Anna: "If anything happens, remember to call me."
Sokov came downstairs, opened the door with the key Victoria gave him, pushed the door open and walked in.
Lida was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When she saw Sokov come in, she just nodded slightly to him and said: "Misha, you are here!"
"Well, I'm here." Sokov closed the door, walked to her side and sat down, and asked with concern: "Lida, how are you feeling today?"
"It's still the same." Lida looked at Sokov and said, "Although sometimes you are confused and sometimes you are sober, I can still recognize who you are."
Hearing what Lida said, Sokov was really dumbfounded. The person he was now and the person he was in the 1940s were completely different people, but Lida could accurately guess his identity through the tone of his voice.
It's so incredible.
Lida turned her head and glanced in the direction of the door, and said with some surprise: "Why are you the only one, where is Vika?"
"She has a case to deal with, and she doesn't know when she will come back." Sokov explained to Lida: "She couldn't worry about you, so she asked me to come over and stay with you. Have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten." Lida pointed to the table not far away and said, "Every day before Vika goes out, she will prepare the food for me for the day. When I'm hungry, I go directly to eat."
"By the way, yesterday Vika and I went to meet someone, an old friend of yours."
"My old friend?" Lida asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Kopalova." Sokov was worried that Lida was confused again and didn't know who Kopalova was, so he asked specifically: "Do you still remember who she is?"
A smile appeared on Lida's face and she said slowly: "I didn't expect that this old friend is still alive."
After a pause, she looked at Sokov again and asked: "Misha, have you ever asked her if the boy beside her at that time was your child?"
When Sokov heard Lida ask this, the muscles on his face twitched, and he thought to himself: How dare I ask? If I really asked, the other party might treat him as a lunatic. He shook his head and said: "No, after all, this
In this time and space, this is the first time I'm meeting her, so there are some things I really can't ask. But if you two meet one day, you can ask this question indirectly and find out whose child it is."
"Don't worry, Misha." Lida nodded slowly and said, "If I have the chance, I will help you inquire about this matter."
Lida was old and tired easily. After chatting for a while, she leaned on the sofa and fell asleep. Sokov called her several times, but there was no response, so he bent down and picked her up, and carried her directly.
On the bed in the bedroom.
As soon as he covered Lida with the quilt, there was a sound of opening the door outside. Sokov quickly walked into the living room to check, and happened to see Victoria changing her shoes when she came in.
"Vika, you're back!"
"Well, I'm back!" Victoria came over after changing her shoes and asked, "Where is my great-grandmother?"
"I just went to bed and you came back."
Although she heard what Sokov said, Victoria still walked to the bedroom door and felt relieved when she saw clearly that Lida was lying on the bed asleep.
"Misha, thank you so much." Victoria said gratefully: "I was worried that today's case would last for a long time, so I called you and asked you to come and stay with my great-grandmother."
"It's okay," Sokov said lightly: "Lida likes to chat with me. With her, we have endless topics to talk about. By the way, didn't you say there was an urgent case that was handled so quickly?
"
"The situation is almost done, and the suspect's photo has been found. A wanted warrant can be issued tomorrow."
After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help but feel curious, and quickly asked tentatively: "Vika, if it's not confidential, can you tell me what the case is?"
"It's just a fraud case." Victoria said, "It's not confidential. If you're interested, I can tell you."
"Interested, interested." Sokov nodded vigorously and said, "I am very interested in this case."
"The reporter is a girl named Natalia. She is the lobby manager of a bank and her income is not low." Victoria began to tell about today's case: "She met a man named Victor online.
Tell him that he is the general manager of a certain foreign trade company and has a net worth of two to three hundred million U.S. dollars. Because the photo he sent looks handsome and his conversation on the Internet is humorous, Natalia was quickly fascinated by him.
After chatting for about half a month, the two agreed to meet.
After they met, Natalia saw that Victor was not as handsome as in the photo, but she still fell in love with him when she saw that he was wearing a Rolex, and the clothes and shoes he wore were all blue and eight red luxury goods."
"Wait a minute," Sokov heard this and quickly interrupted Victoria, asking curiously: "Vika, can you tell me what 'six blues and eight reds' are?"
"'Six Blue and Eight Red' refers to the top luxury brands with extremely high status and influence in the fashion industry, namely six blue blood brands and eight red blood brands.
The six blue-blood brands are: The first is Chanel, a French luxury brand famous for fashion and perfume.
The second one is Dior, a famous French fashion consumer brand that provides women's clothing, men's clothing, jewelry, perfume, etc.
The third one is Louis Vuitton, which has become a symbol of the art of fashionable travel with its excellent quality, outstanding creativity and exquisite craftsmanship.
The fourth one is Gucci, an Italian fashion brand famous for its luxury leather goods and classic handbags.
The fifth one is Prada, an Italian luxury brand known for its innovative design and high quality.
The sixth one is CK, an American fashion brand, among which only the Calvin Klein Collection can be called blue blood."
Sokov was dumbfounded. This was the first time he heard about the so-called blue blood and red blood varieties. He quickly asked Victoria humbly for advice: "What about the eight red blood brands?"
"The eight major red blood brands are: The first is Givenchy, a French fashion brand known for its elegance, simplicity and elegance.
The second one is Giorgio Armani, an Italian luxury brand famous for its new fabrics and excellent production.
The third one is Yves Saint Laurent, a famous French luxury brand whose products include fashion, skin care products, perfumes, etc.
The fourth is Valentino, a global haute couture and ready-to-wear luxury brand.
The fifth one is Versace, an Italian luxury brand famous for its unique design style and strong avant-garde artistic representation.
The sixth one is Hermès. Although it is not blue blood, as a world-famous luxury brand, its status is equally important.
The seventh one is Lanvin, a famous French ready-to-wear and perfume brand. It is one of the first brands in the world to have its own perfume designer.
The eighth is Burberry, a British luxury brand known for its trench coats and classic plaid patterns."
After Victoria finished introducing "Six Blues and Eight Reds" in one breath, Sokov gave her a thumbs up: "Vika, you know so much. I'm ashamed to say that this is the first time I've heard these things you said. He said, he is really ignorant and ignorant."
After a pause, Sokov said to Victoria: "Continue to tell me how the girl named Natalia was deceived."
"After dinner, the two went to listen to an opera, and finally went to a nearby hotel. After this time, Natalia's affection for Victor skyrocketed, and she wanted to marry him immediately," Victoria said: "In this way, in the next week, the two of them had meals, watched movies, operas, ballets, and spent the night in a hotel. They lived a very sweet life.
Early this morning, when the two woke up, Victor answered a phone call and then became depressed. Seeing this, Natalia quickly asked him what happened. Victor didn't say anything at first, but after Natalia Under Talia's repeated questioning, Victor said that there was a problem with his company's capital chain and that he needed a sum of money for turnover."
When Sokov heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Isn't this a common scam in China? He didn't expect that there are still people in Russia using such old tricks.
Just listen to Victoria continue: "Natalia quickly asked the other party how much money they needed, and Victor said it needed fifty thousand US dollars, which would only take a week. Natalia thought that she had just such a sum of money in her bank account. , I wanted to hand it over to the other party. But then I thought about it, the other party always said that he was the boss of a foreign trade company, but the other party had never taken me to his company, and I still felt uneasy.
Seeing Natalia's hesitation, Victor took the initiative and said: 'Natalia, I know you don't trust me and are worried that I will lie to you. But it doesn't matter, you can take out the money first and then follow me. Company, hand it over to me at the door of the company.'
Regarding Victor's proposal, Natalia thought about it and nodded in agreement. Then, the two went to a nearby bank and withdrew all the money in Natalia's account, putting it all in a brown paper bag.
Inside, Natalia held her in her arms. The two took a ride and came to the Evolution Tower."
"Evolution Tower?" Sokov asked again: "Is it the kind of building with a twisted appearance?"
"Yes, that's that building." Victoria said: "The two took the elevator to the 23rd floor. After getting out of the elevator, Victor pointed to a company not far away and said to Natalia: That's me.
company, you can give the money to me.
Natalia thought about it and handed the money in her hand to Victor. Victor took the money and said to Natalia: My dear, you go to work first, and I will find you after get off work.
Natalia did not leave immediately, but watched Victor walk into the company. The front desk lady stood up and bowed to him, whispered a few words in a low voice, and pointed to the side, and then Victor
He turned around and walked towards the side corridor, while waving to Natalia who was standing at the elevator entrance.
But after Natalia went back, she still felt uneasy. After get off work in the afternoon, she hurried to the Evolution Tower, went directly to the company on the 23rd floor, and told the front desk that she was looking for a general manager, Victor. But the receptionist politely told me: 'I'm sorry, the general manager of our company is not named Victor, and he is abroad at the moment and will not be back for a while.'
Hearing the receptionist say that the general manager was not Victor, Natalia realized something was wrong. She quickly took out her phone, showed the photo of Victor stored in it to the receptionist, and said: I saw him walk in with my own eyes this morning.
Here, and you stood up and bowed to him.
After hearing this, the front desk lady explained: 'As a front desk receptionist, it is basic etiquette to stand up and salute when you see someone entering the company. I have a bit of an impression of the person in your photo. He said he was here to apply for a job and asked me where the HR department is.
I pointed him in the direction of the location. But he left quickly and said it was a mistake and he was not applying here.'
At this point, Natalia finally confirmed that she had been deceived, so she called the police from the company and told us what happened, hoping that we could help her catch the scammer and save her finances.
