Munich, Germany

Belmons went to Munich, Germany, and he probably never came to live in France. But the city gave him a feeling of familiarity and strangeness at the same time, and he was able to walk through the streets of Munich without even asking, which made him feel extremely confused.

He first went to the library to look up the Hoffman brothers' materials, but unfortunately most of them had been destroyed in the war, and all he could get was the Hoffman brothers' wartime identities. Since Eric was a member of the Wehrmacht during the war and did not commit crimes during the war, he was not convicted after the war. He has been living in seclusion in a cabin in the forest outside Munich. Strangely, until his death, he never set foot in the castle where he lived as a child.

There was not much information to solve Belmons's doubts, so he decided to ask Eric's grandson, Jacob Joachim Schmidt. At this time, Eric's adopted son, Professor Schmidt, had died, and Jacob, as Yuwei's classmate at the University of Munich, was the only one who knew the story.

Belmons approached Jacob as a journalist and claimed that he wanted to write a story about Lan Yuwei, hoping to get some information about her from him.

Jacob obviously had a good relationship with Lan Yuwei, and as soon as he heard that he wanted to interview Lan Yuwei, he immediately agreed. The two met at 5 p.m. at a café near the University of Munich.

Germans are very strict with the law of time, and if they meet at a certain time, they will never arrive early, and they will never be a second late.

At five o'clock, Jacob showed up at the café on time, just as Belmons had just arrived. The two sat down in a room. After chatting a few words, he turned the topic to Lan Yuwei, speaking of Lan Yuwei, Jacob gushed endlessly, all kinds of compliments, Belmons could see that every word was sincere, without the slightest jealousy.

"So Lan Yuwei was invited by your father from China to study at the University of Munich."

"yes, I don't even know when my father started paying attention to China." Jacob nodded, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, "But Mia is indeed a talent, but unfortunately, after graduation, she refused the invitation of the Charité Hospital and insisted on returning to China to work." Even though she later married Andrew, she did not choose to become a German citizen, but only took a green card to live in Germany. ”

"Mia," Belmons muttered, a hint of confusion in her pale green eyes.

"Mia is her German name, and it was given to her by her father when she first came to Germany, and that's what we call her except Andrew."

"I see." Belmons nodded, and said as if thinking of something, "By the way, I heard that she and your grandfather are very familiar, but as far as I know, she never came to this country twenty years before coming to Germany to study, how did they meet?"

"That's what my father and I wondered, after my grandfather died, Mia was so grief-stricken that she fell seriously ill. The grief feels like the loss of a loved one. I asked her, but she didn't tell me why. And ......," he paused, "I have seen pictures of my grandfather when he was young, some of them with an Oriental woman, in his secluded cottage," his voice narrowed, "but I only glanced at it, and I didn't see the woman's appearance clearly." I asked my father, and he said that was probably the reason why my grandfather never married. As for who the woman in the photo is, neither the father nor the grandfather himself will be revealed. But Mia returns to Germany every year on March 10 and September 3 without delay. ”
