Chapter 1073: Follow the vine

  Chapter 1073 Follow the vine

  The search and arrest operation launched throughout the city achieved results in the evening. The hunchbacked old man in a black woolen coat was caught by a patrol led by Samoilov.

  The old man didn't expect that the large-scale operation launched in the city was actually aimed at him, so that he had no choice but to obediently capture him before he could make any resistance.

When the old man was escorted in front of Sokov, he put on a pitiful look and said, "Comrade commander, what's going on? How did you bring me here? I think there must be something wrong. right?"

   Fortunately, as soon as Sokov got the news that the old man had been arrested, he called Kester and asked him to bring the policeman who had seen the old man over to identify him. Hearing the old man's sophistry, Sokov turned his head and asked the policeman standing aside: "Is it him?"

  The little policeman stepped forward to look at the old man carefully, nodded vigorously, and replied in an affirmative tone: "That's right, Comrade Commander, that's him."

   "Thank you, Comrade Policeman. You have nothing to do here. You can go back." After dismissing the policemen, Sokov looked at the old man and asked, "Your name and mission."

"Comrade Commander," the old man felt that Sokov must have no evidence, so he pretended to be confused and asked, "My name is Sergey, and I am a resident of this city. After I learned that our army recovered the city , and returned to this city with the returning residents. If you want to ask me what my mission is, I can only answer you, I want to work with others to rebuild this city."

  Sokov sneered twice, and then asked: "Sergey, please tell me, why did you stuff your own ration card into Avdeyev's pocket?"

   "Who is Avdeyev? I don't know him." Sergey insisted, "How could I put my ration certificate in a stranger's pocket."

   "Avdeyev is the thief you identified." Kester, standing behind Sokov, couldn't help interjecting, "I mean, you should know who it is, right?"

"It turned out to be him." Sergey pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Yes, I found that my ration card was lost, and I immediately remembered that he had bumped into me, so I suspected that he had stolen me. I found my ration card, so I called the police. Who would have thought that after a search, my ration card was actually found on him.”

   "Where is your ration card, show it to me."

"Okay, Comrade Commander, I'll show it to you right away." Sergey took out a brown wallet from his pocket, opened it, took out a ration card from it, and put it on the wallet respectfully. on the table in front of Cove.

  Sokov only glanced at the ration certificate, but did not pick it up. He said coldly, "Your ration certificate looks neat, it should be well kept."

   "Of course." Seeing that Sokov didn't look at his ration card, Sergey quickly stepped forward to pick up the ration card and put it back in his wallet. "I usually put the ration card in my wallet."

   "It turns out that you usually keep the ration certificate in your wallet. I want to ask, how did Avdeyev steal the ration certificate from your wallet?"

Realizing that he might have slipped his tongue, the old man quickly argued, "Maybe I was in a hurry to buy something, so I took out the ration card in advance. Who knew that the thief saw it, so he deliberately bumped into me and stole it. I have a ration card on me."

"You're lying." Sokov slapped the table hard, and said to Sergey, "I heard from the policeman involved that although you pointed out a few people who might have stolen your ration card, those people were obviously you. Using the cover, you insisted to the police that it was Avdeyev who stole your ration certificate. Even when the police asked for a body search, you actually asked him to search Avdeyev first, so that you confirmed the identity of the other party as the thief .Right?"

  Sergey was worried that he had said too much and made many mistakes, so he began to say: "Comrade commander, you must have made a mistake. I am not the person you want to arrest. You must have made a mistake..."

"That's enough, stop playing with me." Sokov said with a sneer: "After you were brought here, I have ordered people to search your residence. I believe it will not take long before we can get desired answer."

   Knowing that Sokov had sent someone to search his residence, Sergey's forehead could not help but burst into cold sweat. Seeing his reaction, Sokov believed that his speculation was correct, and he continued to ask: "Tell me, how did you help a scrap radio station hide in Avdeyev's residence? You Are there other accomplices?"

  However, no matter how Sokov asked, Sergey put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and just refused to say anything. Seeing that the other party remained silent, Sokov stopped asking, but turned his head and chatted with Kester, who was standing behind him, about the situation in the city.

Just when the situation was in an embarrassing situation, Samoilov hurried away with a soldier to the manager, and excitedly reported to Sokov: "Comrade commander, look, what did I find in his house? "Speaking, he put a brown suitcase in front of Sokov.

   Kester stepped forward to open it, and there was another radio station and supporting antenna, earphones and transmitter inside. Sokov looked at Sergey and asked coldly: "Sergey, I want to hear your explanation. What are these things used for?"

When things got to this point, Sergey knew that it would be useless to deny it, so he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll recruit. In fact, I am a spy arranged by the Germans in the city. My daily job is to go around the city. Walk around, get your arming status, and telegraph the Germans."

   "You **** traitor." Hearing this, Anisimov couldn't help being furious. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and teach the German spy, but Sokov stopped him.

  Sokov asked expressionlessly: "Sergey, be honest, who is your accomplice in the soap factory? Is it the deputy factory director?"

   Sergey, who originally wanted to avoid the important and talk about some irrelevant issues, was stunned when he heard Sokov's question. Seeing his expression, if Kester still doesn't understand what's going on, then he, the chief of the police, can be replaced. He hurriedly said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I will take people to arrest the deputy director immediately."

"Go," Sokov nodded, and told him specifically: "Remember, there must be many German spies lurking in the city. When you arrest the deputy factory director, you must not make too much noise, so as not to To scare the snake away."
