  Chapter 1084 The Truth (Part 2)

  The cooking soldier stared at the map for less than ten seconds, then pointed to one of the locations, and said in a positive tone: "It's here."

   Sokov saw that it turned out to be a post office on the left bank of the Lugan River that passes through the city. After the Soviet army regained the city, because the buildings there were destroyed by the war, the new post office was relocated to a block 800 meters away. If the enemy really uses this place as a contact point, it is really not easy to arouse suspicion.

  Even if the patrol found a stranger nearby, the other party could explain that he was looking for the post office, which would not arouse the suspicion of the patrol at all.

"Then tell me, who disclosed some information about our army to the Germans?" Sokov recalled that the second wave of German sneak attack actually pretended to be a divisional guard battalion, and the leading German even pretended to be Sergei Sha , I couldn't help but feel angry.

"I don't know much about this." The cooking soldier replied: "After I arrived in Luhansk with the army, it was an old man named Sergey who came to contact me. Let me find someone to prepare fifty sets of military uniforms and send them to Lugansk. To the ruins of the post office. I don't know anything about the rest."

   Sokov asked a few more questions, and seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions from the cook, he waved his hand and asked someone to take him out. He said to Vitkov: "Comrade Chief of Staff, judging from the interrogation, that old man named Sergey is the key to the whole incident."

   "Comrade Commander." Vitkov asked puzzledly: "Why do you think so?"

"Let me sort out my thoughts for you: First, we learned that the paratroopers of the German army were airborne in the north of the city. A few were killed, and the rest fled. Now it seems that they hid in the ruins of the Post Office by the Lugan River Although the enemy once occupied Luhansk, the paratroopers who came here were not necessarily familiar with the terrain. If there was no one to respond, they would not be able to easily get rid of the pursuit of the Sivakov Division and successfully sneak into the contact point.

  Secondly, in order to complete these assassinations, the enemy mobilized their lurking forces in the city. And Avdeyev was unwilling to help the Germans because he was afraid, but he was planted by Sergey and arrested as a thief. When we went to search his residence, the deputy factory manager actively cooperated with us and found the hidden radio station, making us think he was a German spy in order to divert our attention. "

"I don't understand." Hearing this, Vitkov asked his own question: "Sergey deliberately exposed Avdeyev, so don't you worry that we will follow this clue and find him from behind? You know, we caught Sergey based on this clue."

"I think Sergey was also instructed by someone to do this." Sokov continued to analyze, "Maybe he never thought of touching Avdeyev. After all, someone is exposed, and he will definitely be implicated in the end. But In order to achieve the goal of killing chickens and monkeys, his superiors still issued this wrong order."

   "So, as long as you pry Sergei's mouth open," Vitkov heard this, and immediately realized the problem: "Find out who is behind him, and you can figure out the whole thing."

"That's right, it's true." Through this attack, Sokov realized that there are many enemies hidden in the city. If they are not cleared out, they will come out to destroy at critical times in the future, and the consequences will be severe. Even more serious: "Let Kester bring Sergey here, and I will interrogate him myself."

   Knowing that Kester had brought Sergey, Sokov asked straight to the point: "Comrade Captain, did he confess?"

   "No." Kester shook his head and said, "We have used many methods, but his mouth is very tight and he refuses to say anything."

   "Bring him up," Sokov said with a little confidence: "Let's try again, is there any way to make him speak."

   Soon, Sergey was brought up. He was much more emaciated than yesterday. However, since the interrogating police did not torture him, there is nothing wrong with his health. "Sergey, I want to ask you, how did you bring those Germans into the ruins of the post office?"

Sergey, who originally wanted to pretend to be confused, had a look of panic when he heard Sokov mentioning the post office, but he quickly regained his composure and asked calmly, "Comrade commander, I don't understand. You mean."

The expression on Sergey's face did not escape Sokov's eyes. He felt more and more that the post office was the key to prying Sergey's mouth open, so he deliberately said to Kester in front of Sergey: "Captain Comrade, please send a few people to the post office on the left bank of the Lugan River to search, maybe the old man Sergey still left something there."

Sokov's method really worked. He heard that Sokov planned to send someone to search the post office. Sergey immediately panicked. The daily work of the special agents in the city is to check your defense situation everywhere, and then report to the Germans through telegrams."

"It's not enough. Although we seized the transmitter you hid at home, we didn't find the code book at that time." Sokov asked with a sneer: "Can you tell us now where the code book is hidden?" ?”

  Seeing Sergey bowed his head again and remained silent, Sokov immediately realized that the codebook that he had not found was supposed to be hidden in the ruins of the post office. But he asked calmly, "Sergey, what did you do before the war?"

   "Before the war," Sergey squinted, and began to recall his past experience: "I am a telegraph operator at the Post Office, and I am going to be responsible for sending the telegram."

   "Then how did it work for the Germans?" Sokov continued to ask.

"When the city fell, my family fell into the hands of the Germans." Sergey's face showed a painful expression: "The Germans said that if I don't serve them, they will kill my whole family. In order to save the lives of my whole family, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to the Germans' request.

   Originally, I wanted to work for the Germans secretly so that no one would find out. But since I retreated to the rear and delivered a report for the Germans, they used this incident to blackmail me into continuing to work for them, otherwise they would report my identity to the Ministry of the Interior. I was afraid in my heart, so I could only do what he wanted. "

  Seeing that Sergey's expression became dazed, Sokov asked unexpectedly: "Sergey, let me ask you, is your code book hidden in the Post Office?"

   "That's right, it's at the Post Office." After Sergey said this without thinking, he immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late for him to change his words. He could only lower his head again, and replied in an inaudible voice, "You guessed right, I was indeed hiding there."

  Even if Dong XZ is known to be at the post office, it would be very difficult to find out without asking the exact location. Sokov quickly asked, "Where is it hidden in the post office?"

"In the reference room on the second floor, in the cabinet on the left side after entering the door, the cabinet door has been burned black." Sergey lowered his head and said: "Open the cabinet, you can see in the corner, there are A thing wrapped in a handkerchief, in which the codebook and list are hidden."

  Sokov originally only wanted to find the code book, but when he heard that there was still a roster, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic. He quickly turned around and told Kester: "Comrade Captain, you personally take someone to search the information room of the Post Office. You must find the code book and list. Do you understand?"

  Kester, as the chief of the police station, naturally knew that if he found the list of German lurking personnel, he could carry out targeted arrests according to the above names. Quickly and loudly replied: "Don't worry, Comrade Commander, I will definitely find the code book and list."
