Chapter 1: Strange Photos

Within a week's time, Qi Luoling had all the necessary materials to apply for a tourist visa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She went to the visa agency again and handed it over to the staff. The staff carefully reviewed the materials. Finally, he nodded with satisfaction and told her that there should be nothing wrong with these visa materials. If it goes well, you can get the visa in about a week.

In the following week, she patiently waited for the results, and ran to the hospital to visit Choi Jae-sun every day in her spare time.

Choi Jae-sun is like a sleeping prince, who seems to be waiting for Snow White's heavenly kiss, but unfortunately she can't give him such a kiss now.

Qi Luoling looked at him for a long time, as if the magic of time had stopped in him, he was like a flower that had stopped growing, although it had not opened, it had not withered.

A week later, on Tuesday afternoon, the consulate called to say that her visa had come down. That meant the time had come for her to leave.

Qi Luoling began to make preparations for traveling abroad. First, go to the Bank of China to apply for a fixed amount of traveler's checks. I opened an international business with my credit card, and I exchanged some euros to bring with me.

Warsaw, for her, is a strange and delightful city. It's strange because she hasn't set foot on it yet. And the joy is because of Chopin. And for music lovers, Warsaw is the city they yearn for. The International Chopin Piano Competition, a top international music event, is held in Warsaw every five years.

Tickets to Warsaw, Poland are booked on the website, Air France, Boeing, Economy Class. She also booked a hostel, a single room in a small hostel, online.

Then she began to prepare her suitcase. There wasn't really anything to bring, it was all summer, and I brought a few summer clothes, personal groceries, a change of underwear, and some other odd and drop items.

I wanted to bring the dress I was wearing, but I couldn't find it after looking for a long time. But when I think about it carefully, it seems that I haven't bought such clothes at all, so forget it.

She then went online to check the weather in Warsaw recently, and it had been raining recently, so she brought an umbrella and rainproof clothes. After thinking about it, I still brought two books and read them on the plane. A backpack was filled like that.

After taking care of her luggage, she went downstairs to the bank and paid three months' bills for phone, gas, and utilities. It's all over. But she seemed to have forgotten something? By the way, there is also the important score of the first movement of the devil's music. She carefully placed it in the innermost layer of her backpack.

When everything came to an end, she suddenly remembered Liu Shiran and quickly called her. Liu Shiran's visa also came down smoothly. It's a pity. However, she booked her ticket two days earlier than her, so the two could not travel together. The two agreed that as soon as she arrived in Warsaw, she would call Liu Shiran immediately, and the two would accompany each other in Poland.

The day I left Shanghai was a cloudy day. The sun was dim, and the dark clouds of obscurity and oppression were huddled together one by one. Looking out of the porthole, everything is gray and misty, like a blurred face, which makes people feel melancholy and confused.

Qi Luoling got on the plane and took out the novel and began to read. The novel is "The Third Woman" by the Polish writer Henrik Sienkwicz.

A middle-aged woman in her forties sat next to her, sleeping by herself.

Since flights from Warsaw to Shanghai require a transfer, Air France flies to Paris. After about ten hours, the woman next to her looked up and said to her, "You must be in Warsaw, right?" ”

Qi Luoling smiled and did not answer.

"You're coming to Poland for the first time, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any friends in Poland?"

"Nope."

"Oh."

The middle-aged woman seemed to notice that it was a little rude to continue inquiring, so she didn't ask.

"It's probably raining in Warsaw right now. It rains in Warsaw these days every year. The middle-aged woman changed the subject, and it seemed that the weather was an eternal topic.

"Really?" Qi Luoling frowned.

"You don't like rain?"

"How so? I don't hate or like it. I only like it to rain at night, and the sound of the rain seems to make me sleep more peacefully. Qi Luoling said lightly.

The plane again passed through the clouds and flew over Warsaw, Poland. The sky in Warsaw was overcast, and it was impossible to confirm whether it was raining.

Qi Luoling looked out the window and wanted to see Warsaw on the ground, perhaps because of the weather, the cityscape on the ground was unremarkable, not so much Warsaw, but any ordinary place in the world, and even the view of the suburbs of the airport from the air when leaving Shanghai. This disappointed her a little.

The middle-aged woman sitting next to her was also looking out the window, as if sensing her disappointment.

"It's just the outskirts of Warsaw. The real city of Warsaw is not visible from here. Warsaw is a fascinating city. ”

Qi Luoling looked out the window and nodded.

After more than ten hours, the plane finally landed at the Friederik Chopin airport in Warsaw.

Finally came to Warsaw, Qi Luoling got off the passenger plane and said goodbye to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman left the airport.

However, she remained in the airport hall to go through the relevant immigration procedures. After completing some tedious immigration procedures, she stuffed her passport and everything into her backpack and walked out of the airport alone with her bag on her back.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky outside the airport was a little dark because it was raining lightly outside.

The buses are lined up in the square not far away, and they start one after the other. Taxis are also waiting outside the departure hall.

The people who came to pick up the airport held greeting signs with their names written on them, and looked hopefully at everyone who passed by.

Qi Luoling stopped and thought about how to go to the hotel she had booked to rest.

The information in the guidebook is about that the hotel is in the old town, and it takes 30 minutes by airport bus, and it should take about 10 minutes by taxi.

Relying only on the mobile phone of the online guide, it seems that I am not very familiar with the route, and the sky is not beautiful, no matter who sits on the plane for a whole day, he will probably indulge his inertia, and do not want to go through the trouble of asking questions.

Qi Luoling hesitated for a moment and decided to walk towards the taxi rank.

Before she could get to the taxi rank, a red sports car drove up in front of her. Although in gloomy weather, its bright and eye-catching appearance is eye-catching.

At this moment, a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes walked out.

He wears sunglasses, has a tense face, does not smile, and has a grim expression like Leon in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

"Are you Chinese?" He asked in English.

Qi Luoling nodded.

"Your name is Qi Luoling, right?" He asked again.

Qi Luoling was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then please come with me."

"Why should I go with you?" Qi Luoling looked at him vigilantly.

"Miss Qi, take the liberty of it. I just did what Mr. Kridinska told me to do. ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't know Mr. Kridinska. So I can't go with you. ”

The man suddenly smiled slightly, as if he had expected her answer, and said sincerely: "Miss Qi, before you decide, Mr. Kridinska asked me to show you a picture. After looking at the photos, you can make a decision. ”

Qi Luoling looked at him suspiciously, only to see the man take out a photo from his pocket and hand it to her.

This old black-and-white photograph taken a long time ago, although the surrounding of the photo is a little worn and yellow, but the face of the person in the photo is still clearly visible, he is a middle-aged man, a middle-aged man in a military uniform.

After taking a closer look at the man's appearance, Qi Luoling was taken aback.
