Chapter 461 Weird Photo Studio!

"Li...Weidong?"

"Teacher Ran, what a coincidence?"

In front of Dongfanghong Square, Li Weidong had just finished taking a photo when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Coincidentally, the other party also looked towards him.

In other words, Li Weidong, who was holding a camera, made everyone who passed by him look enviously.

Previously, after Li Weidong handed things over to Meng Dongqing, he continued to enjoy his 'holiday'.

In acting, there is no reason to give up halfway.

What he didn't expect was that he could meet acquaintances more than 1000 kilometers away from home.

"Li Weidong, is it really you? Why are you here? Could it be that you also..."

Ran Qiuye also looked surprised to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

Just now when her companion pointed this way, she looked familiar from the side, so she couldn't help but move forward, unexpectedly, it was really the person in her memory.

"I changed jobs not long ago, and this time I came here on a business trip with the leader."

Li Weidong casually 'explained'.

At the beginning, he only knew that Ran Qiuye had come to the Northwest to support the construction, but the problem was that the Northwest was very large, and the Great Northwest was just a general term, covering the area of ​​several provinces.

Who would have thought that the other party would be assigned to Lanshi, and would also come here to play today.

What a coincidence.

"Qiuye, can you introduce us?"

"Yes, this comrade is yours?"

Before Ran Qiuye could speak, two young women with long braids appeared behind her, looking at Li Weidong curiously. The key was that they were bold and eager without being shy.

"You two don't talk nonsense."

Ran Qiuye, who was being teased, looked a little embarrassed.

"Hello, Teacher Ran and I are fellow villagers. She used to be my younger brother's teacher."

Li Weidong introduced it generously.

"Oh, just a fellow? You really didn't come after Qiuye?"

One of the young women was obviously very gossipy, and she kept looking at Li Weidong.

And the other one focuses more on the camera in Li Weidong's hand.

After all, cameras are still a rarity these days.

"Dandan, what are you talking about, Li Weidong and I are really just fellow villagers."

Ran Qiuye pulled the companion who was questioning, and at the same time showed an apologetic expression to Li Weidong.

Although Yan Bugui helped to negotiate a reconciliation at the beginning, because the age gap between the two was too large, Ran Qiuye directly refused.

And she is very clear that the two are not from the same world.

So even though Li Weidong's help made her feel more fond of him later, she never thought of going further.

In her heart, maybe the two can become good friends, but they will never become each other's other half.

When we meet now, she is more cordial.

"Teacher Ran, have you been assigned here?"

Li Weidong asked curiously.

"Yes, I work as an elementary school teacher in a place called Bali Town under Lanshi City. I happen to be free today, so I came to the city to buy some things. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you."

Ran Qiuye nodded.

"It's a coincidence. Would you like to take some photos for you?"

Li Weidong raised his camera.

"Ah, really? Thank you, we can give you money."

The eyes of the young woman who had been staring at the camera suddenly lit up.

"Will it cause you trouble?"

Ran Qiuye was obviously moved, and behind her, another young woman kept pushing her.

"No trouble, it's a matter of convenience."

Li Weidong was worried that the three film rolls Truci gave him would not be finished.

And along the way, although he took a lot of photos, they were all of various buildings, and he didn't take pictures of himself. He would not spread his photos.

In this way, after visiting several places, all the remaining film was digested.

The three women who realized it later realized that they wanted to pay Li Weidong for compensation, but Li Weidong refused, and finally pushed back and forth. The three women decided to invite Li Weidong to dinner and pay for the laundering of the photos themselves.

So after lunch, a few people came to a photo studio.

The person who received them was an old master. When he saw the camera hanging around Li Weidong's neck, he was obviously taken aback, but quickly covered it up.

However, Li Weidong felt the other party's emotions, surprise, doubt, puzzlement, and even worry.

This discovery made Li Weidong narrow his eyes slightly.

In particular, a certain smell on the other party gave him a feeling of 'familiarity'.

"Master, please help us develop some photos."

Chen Ping was the first to speak.

She was the young woman who had been staring at Li Weidong's camera before, and she cared the most about taking pictures.

"Do you have a letter of introduction?"

the master asked.

"Yes, we are teachers from Bali Town, and this is our letter of introduction."

Chen Ping immediately took out the letter of introduction from her pocket.

Nowadays, without an ID card, this letter of introduction is the best pass.

This thing is needed for accommodation, riding a car, and even buying some special items.

"Oh, teacher, please register first, and come to get the photos in three days."

The master took the letter of introduction and glanced at it casually.

"Three days? Can't I take it today?"

Chen Ping couldn't help asking.

Now she wished she could see the photos she took immediately, how could she have the patience to wait for three days.

"We have to clean the photos in a unified way here. They were just washed yesterday. If you want to get the photos, you can only wait three days later."

As the old master spoke, he swept across Li Weidong without a trace.

At this time, Li Weidong pretended to look at the photo studio.

There are also many photos hanging on the wall, some of which have obvious urban characteristics, and there is a line of small words under the photos: 1951-3-10-Huangpu River.

"Master, who took this photo?"

Li Weidong pointed to the photo and asked.

"This one is taken by my previous owner. Our photo studio has been around for quite some time. We moved here from Shanghai nine years ago, but since the joint venture, the owner has returned to Shanghai."

The old master said casually.

"Why did you move here?"

Li Weidong asked curiously.

"The boss's decision, those of us who are buddies, don't know."

The old master shook his head.

"That's it."

Li Weidong didn't continue to ask.

With just a few questions, he basically got the information he wanted.

First of all, the other party has always been wary of him.

Secondly, there was no respect for his former boss in his words, that kind of indifference, as if he was talking about a person who did not exist.

If you add the strangeness of the other party staring at the camera hanging around your neck after you came in, you can basically conclude that there is something wrong with the person in front of you.

Li Weidong didn't know whether to say he was lucky or not.

I didn't say anything about meeting Ran Qiuye, but came to develop a photo, and unexpectedly met Truci's 'accomplice' again.

That's right, Trutz's 'accomplice'.

What Li Weidong can be sure of is that the other party must have seen the camera hanging around his neck and knows who the owner of the camera is.

If it's just that, it's actually nothing, because it's impossible for Truci to bring too much film, so he will definitely buy it locally, and it happens to be nothing in this photo studio.

Therefore, the other party has seen Truci and knows this camera, which is completely understandable.

The brand of this camera is called Leica. Even Li Weidong is a layman who knows the rarity of this handed down camera.

In China, especially Lanshi, it is estimated that there is only such a Leica camera.

The other party's initial emotion might be explained by the fact that he stole Trutz's camera.

But then, when Li Weidong continued to test, the other party's reaction was a little weird.

Moreover, if the other party really thinks that he stole Trutz's camera, they can ask him where the camera came from. In this photo studio, there is not only one guy, but there are people coming and going on the road at the door.

Catch the thief with a yell, and it is estimated that people can stand half a block away.

But unfortunately, the other party did not do this, but deliberately pretended not to recognize the camera.

And it takes three days to develop photos, so it is probably a pretense.

If there was no problem with Truci, Li Weidong wouldn't think too much about it, but he had already locked the opponent on his side.

Another point is that this photo studio was moved from Shanghai nine years ago.

Under normal circumstances, who would move a photo studio all the way to this place?

You must know that nine years ago, this place was not as large as it is now. Compared with Shanghai, it was even more remote.

But the problem is that just ten years ago, the country just passed the first five-year plan, and put a number of key projects here, which really started the big construction, and the status of Lan City was suddenly highlighted.

That is to say, in the second year of this plan, the photo studio moved from Shanghai to here.

Is this suspicious?
Normally, it definitely doesn't count, but Li Weidong just learned from the other party that the other party doesn't know why the owner of the photo studio moved here. Is it possible?

Another one, after the joint venture, the former owner of the photo studio actually ran back to Shanghai?

Is it because you are not used to staying here?
Or, is this so-called owner just a puppet?
Finally, coupled with the reaction of the other party, Li Weidong can conclude that there is a big problem with this photo studio.

And the old master in front of him was also a line buried here long ago. It wasn't until Trudeau came here that he activated the other party and started contacting him.

Well, the problem is coming.

Are those photos taken by Truci really not circulated?
After all, he must have been here more than once by buying film or chemicals for developing photos, so he can give the negatives of those photos to the other party without anyone noticing, and then the other party will send them to Shang Hai.

In this way, returning to Shang Hai's owner becomes a point connecting the two sides.

As the owner before the joint venture, the other party occasionally came back to look at the photo studio, and then brought some film or photos back, isn't it a big deal?

It is definitely difficult to send things abroad directly from here, and it can even be said to be almost impossible, but what if it is sent abroad from Shang Hai?

I'm afraid, it's really easy.

Wanting to understand this, Li Weidong couldn't help but sink in his heart.
