The manhunt launched throughout the city achieved results by evening. The hunchbacked old man in a black woolen coat was captured by the patrol led by Samoilov.
The old man didn't expect that the large-scale operation launched in the city was actually targeting him, so he had no choice but to be captured before he had time to make any resistance.
When the old man was escorted in front of Sokov, he pretended to be pitiful and said: "Comrade commander, what is going on? Why did you catch me here? I think there must be something wrong.
Alright?"
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 excuses, Sokov turned to ask the man standing aside
Policeman: "Is it him?"
The little policeman stepped forward and looked at the old man carefully, nodded vigorously, and replied in a positive tone: "Yes, Comrade Commander, that's him."
"Thank you, comrade policeman. You have nothing to do here, you can go back." After Sokov dismissed the little policeman, he looked at the old man and asked: "Your name and the mission you shoulder."
"Comrade Commander," the old man felt that Sokov must have no evidence, so he asked pretending to be confused: "My name is Sergey, and I am a resident of this city. I learned that our army had recaptured this city.
, I just returned to this city with the residents who returned to the city. If you want to ask me what my mission is, I can only answer you that I want to work with others to rebuild this city."
Sokov sneered twice, and then asked: "Sergey, please tell me, why did you put your own ration card into Avdeev's pocket?"
"Who is Avdeev? I don't know him." Sergey insisted, "How could I put my ration card into a stranger's pocket?"
"Avdeyev is the thief you identified." Kester, who was standing behind Sokov, couldn't help but interject: "Let me put it this way, you should know who it is, right?"
"It turned out to be him." Sergey said, pretending to suddenly realize: "Yes, I found out that I had lost my ration card. I immediately remembered that he had bumped into me, and I suspected that he had stolen it from me.
He had his ration card, so he called the police. Unexpectedly, after a search, my ration card was actually found on his body.”
"Where is your ration card? Take it out and show it to me."
"Okay, Comrade Commander, I'll show it to you right away." Sergey took out a brown wallet from his arms, opened it, took out a ration card, and put it respectfully on the phone.
On the table in front of Cove.
Sokov only glanced at the ration card but did not pick it up. He said coldly: "Your ration card looks quite neat. It must have been well kept."
"Of course." Seeing Sokov not looking at his ration card, Sergey quickly stepped forward to pick up the ration card and put it back into his wallet. "I usually keep my ration card in my wallet."
"You actually keep your ration card in your wallet. I want to ask, how did Avdeyev steal the ration card from your wallet?"
The old man realized that he might have spilled the beans, and quickly defended himself: "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, and he deliberately bumped into me and stole it.
I got my ration card."
"You are lying." Sokov slammed the table hard and said to Sergey: "I heard from the police officer involved that although you pointed out a few people who might have stolen your ration card, those people were obviously you.
Using the guise, you insisted to the police that Avdeev had stolen your ration card. Even when the police asked for a body search, you actually asked him to search Avdeev first, thus confirming the other party's identity as the thief.
.Right?"
Sergey was worried that if he said too much, he would make many mistakes, so he started talking nonsense: "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 acting here." Sokov sneered and said: "After you were brought here, I have ordered people to search your residence. I believe it won't take long for us to get it."
Wanted answers.”
Knowing that Sokov had sent people to search his residence, Sergey couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Seeing his reaction, Sokov believed that his guess was correct, and he continued
Asked: "Tell me, how did you help hide a scrapped radio station in Avdeyev's residence? Do you have other accomplices?"
However, no matter how Sokov asked, Sergey acted like a dead pig and refused to say anything. Seeing that the other party remained silent, Sokov stopped asking, and instead turned around and spoke.
Kester, standing behind him, chatted a bit about the situation in the city.
Just when the situation was embarrassing, Samoilov hurried away from the manager with a soldier and excitedly reported to Sokov: "Comrade division commander, look, what did I find in his house?
"As he said that, he placed a brown leather suitcase in front of Sokov.
Kester stepped forward and opened it, and inside there was another radio station with matching antenna, earphones and transmitter. Sokov looked at Sergey and asked coldly: "Sergey, I want to hear from you
Explain, what are these things used for?”
When things got to this point, Sergey knew that no matter how much he tried to deny it, it was useless, 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.
Move around, learn about your defense situation, and send it to the Germans via telegram."
"You damn traitor." When Anisimov heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and teach the German agent a lesson, but Sokov stopped him.
Sokov asked expressionlessly: "Sergey, tell me honestly, who is your accomplice in the soap factory? Is it the deputy director?"
Sergey, who originally wanted to avoid the important point by talking about insignificant issues, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Sokov's question. Seeing his expression, if Kester didn't understand what was going on, then he
The police chief can be replaced. He quickly said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I will immediately take people to arrest the deputy director."
"Go ahead," Sokov nodded and specifically warned him: "Remember, there must be many German spies lurking in the city. When you arrest the deputy director, be sure not to make too much noise, lest you
To scare the snake away."
