Red Moscow

Chapter 2591

"What, there is a general who wants to see me." The sergeant stood up and asked in surprise: "Where is he?"

"I'm here, Comrade Sheriff." Sokov took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with the policeman: "I am General Sokov. If you don't believe it, I can show you my ID." He said. Then, he was ready to take out his ID and show it to the other party again.

But the sergeant waved his hand and said: "No need, Comrade General. My subordinate is a cautious man. He must have checked your ID, so there is no need for me to look at it again. You go and pour some wine for the General and his wife." Here are two cups of hot tea." The following words were what the Sheriff ordered his men to do.

“No need, Comrade Sheriff, I’ll just say a few words and then leave.”

The sergeant made a gesture to his men to leave, and then asked Sokov politely: "Comrade General, what are your instructions?"

"There are no instructions." Sokov knew his identity very well. Even though he was a senior military officer, he was not qualified to dictate police affairs. He said in a consultative tone: "I would like to ask you to help investigate a people."

The sergeant originally thought that Sokov came directly here with some important instructions, but he was still thinking about it. If the other party really gave him an order, he would have to ask his superiors for instructions before deciding whether to carry out the order. . At this moment, he heard that he was only investigating one person, and his mood suddenly calmed down a lot. He asked tentatively: "Comrade General, I wonder who the person you want to investigate is?"

"That's it, Comrade Sergeant." Sokov told the Sergeant about the incident when he met a captain who could not provide his ID when he was shopping in the officer's store, and finally said: "I think this person is very important. Suspicious, I hope you can send someone to check his identity.”

Hearing what Sokov said, the sergeant disagreed in his mind, thinking that maybe the captain was a Madah. Even if he could not provide the salesperson with the necessary identification documents every time he shopped at the officer's store, it did not mean that he was a suspicious person. This general is really neurotic and making a fuss out of a molehill. Although he was complaining in his heart, he said with great cooperation: "I understand, Comrade General, I will immediately send someone to inquire about the details of this captain."

Sokov saw the perfunctory look on the Sergeant's face, but it was difficult to expose him. He could only follow the flow and said: "Comrade Sheriff, I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope you can reveal the true identity of the captain as soon as possible." Find out."

The sergeant sent the two Sokovs to the door. After seeing Sokov drive away with his own eyes, he turned to the policeman at the door and said: "The general just said that when he was buying something in the officer's store, he met an helpless man. The captain who provided the salesperson with a valid ID hopes that we can send someone to inquire about the captain’s true identity.”

“Comrade Chief,” the policeman asked cautiously, “Do we need to make inquiries?”

To be fair, the police chief was not willing to do such a thankless thing at all. However, seeing that Sokov was driving a rare German car, he realized that the other person's background might not be simple. If he told him what he had told him, If you don't pay attention, the other party may come to cause trouble for you.

Thinking of this, the sergeant said to the policeman: "Kalugin, I'll leave this matter to you. You take Peter around the town to see if you can meet the captain the general mentioned."

“Comrade Sheriff,” the policeman known as Kalugin asked the sergeant cautiously: “I wonder if Comrade General has told me what the captain’s name is and what he looks like?”

"No." The sergeant shook his head and said, "He just said he was a young captain. I don't know his name."

 “I don’t even know the name, how can I find it?”

"If this is an urban area, it may be difficult to find a captain whose name is unknown." The police chief said to Kalugin: "But there are not many officers in Khimki town. It is difficult to find him." , I’m afraid it’s not too difficult. Okay, hurry up and ask Peter to go on the mission.”

Since the sergeant gave the order, Kalugin didn't know what to say. He could only scold Sokov in his heart for being troublesome while going to the dormitory to find Peter.

Peter, who worked the night shift last night, is sleeping in bed at the moment. After being woken up by Kalugin, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked feebly: "Kalugin, what's the matter?"

"Peter, don't sleep, get up quickly." Kalugin said to him: "A general just came to see the police chief, saying that there was a suspicious captain in the town. After buying something in the officer's store, he could not provide any valid information. He asked us to go around the town to see if we could find the captain."

Knowing that it was a task assigned by the sergeant, Peter quickly got up and put on his clothes. At the same time, he asked Kalugin: "What is the name of that captain and where does he live?"

"I don't know." Kalugin replied simply: "Currently we don't know the name of this captain or where he lives. If he knew, the chief would not let us search for him, but would lead him directly." People came to check my ID.”

After the two of them went out, Peter asked again: "Which way are we going?"

Kalugin thought for a while, then pointed to the west and said: "Let's start from the west. If we can't find it, go to the east of the town and have a look. If there is still nothing, we will go back and report to the police chief. I searched the whole town and couldn’t find the person I was looking for.”

 “Okay, let’s do it.”

 The two of them walked slowly forward along the street.

Peter asked curiously: "Kalugin, you said the person looking for the police chief is a general. I wonder what his name is?"

Although Kalugin had seen Sokov's ID, he did not dare to take a closer look. At this moment, Peter's question stopped him. He scratched the back of his head and thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems to be some kind of General Sokov?"

“General Sokov?” Hearing this last name, Peter was a little surprised and said: “Is he alone, or did he bring someone else with him?”

"He is not alone. There is a pregnant woman with him, who should be his wife."

After hearing this, Peter clapped his hands suddenly: "Kalugin, I know who he is."

“Do you know who he is?” Kalugin asked in surprise: “Do you know who the captain is?”

"No." Seeing that Kalugin had misunderstood, Peter quickly explained: "I'm talking about knowing who the general is, not who the captain we are looking for is."

Kaluginjian was transferred from another police station and was not familiar with the situation in Khimki Town. When he heard Peter say that he knew who the general who visited the police chief was, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Peter, do you know the man who visited today?" A general?"

"Yes, I know him." Peter turned to Kalugin and said, "Although you don't know him, you have heard of his deeds."

"Have I heard about his deeds?!" Kalugajang looked confused at first, but the next moment he thought of a possibility: "Peter, couldn't he be the one who led the garrison squad to defeat the German reconnaissance force? Corporal Sokov, right? ""That's right, Kalugin, you're right, it's him." Peter nodded and said, "If I'm not wrong, the pregnant woman who followed him to the duty station was him. His wife Asiya. They should have gone to the instrument factory, where Asiya’s parents live.”

When Kalugin and Peter went out on patrol, they originally wanted to go through the motions. Although the town of Khimki was not big, it was not easy to find a captain whose name was unknown. But when I learned that the person who had just arrived at the duty station to see the sergeant was actually the famous General Sokov, my thoughts immediately changed. Since General Sokov thought there was something wrong with the captain, there must be something wrong with that captain. , I must find a way to find him.

The two of them were walking around the west side of the town, but did not gain anything. Although they saw several lieutenant-level officers along the way, they were all second lieutenants or lieutenants, and none of them were captains. Since there was nothing to gain in the west, they turned around and headed east of the town.

When passing the church in the middle of the town, Peter pointed to the church and said to Kalugin: "The garrison squad commanded by General Sokov was stationed in this church. If they had not blocked the German reconnaissance force in time, waiting for the enemy Once the main force arrives, they will use the town of Khimki as a starting point to launch an attack on downtown Moscow. If this happens, we don’t know how tragic the battle will be in the city. "

 A few years ago, if Peter had made such an assumption, he would have been criticized by others. Such remarks, to put it lightly, are a sign of panic; to put it seriously, they are defeatist arguments, and those who say these words will definitely be sent to a punishment camp.

“Peter, do you know what department General Sokov serves today?”

"I don't know," Peter said, shaking his head. "Now that the war is over, maybe he has retired."

"I don't think so." Kalugin said: "I saw with my own eyes that the ID he used was a military ID, which means he has not retired."

The two of them continued walking forward while talking.

 Suddenly, a captain officer appeared at the intersection ahead. He was about to cross the road to the other side.

After the two looked at each other, Kalugin quickened his pace and shouted to the captain: "Comrade Captain!"

Hearing Kalugin's shout, the captain stopped, turned to look at the two policemen walking towards him, pointed his thumb at his nose and asked: "Comrade policemen, are you calling me?" ?”

“That’s right, Comrade Captain.” Kalugin raised his hand and saluted the captain, and then said politely: “Please show me your ID.”

"Oh, you want to see the ID, please wait a moment." The captain said, reaching into his pocket, as if preparing to take out his ID from inside.

Just when Kalugin's eyes were fixed on the captain, the other party made an unexpected move and gave Kalugin a sharp push on the shoulder with his left hand. The huge inertia made Kalugin unsteady. He took two steps back and bumped into Peter, and then the two fell to the ground.

 After seeing Kalugin and Peter being pushed down by him, the captain turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Seeing the captain fleeing, if the two Kalugins still didn't understand that there was something wrong with the captain, then there was something wrong with their brains.

The two struggled to get up from the ground and chased the captain in the direction of his escape, shouting loudly: "Stop! Stop!"

 The escaping captain naturally did not hear their shouts and just stood still. On the contrary, he ran faster.

Although the two men tried their best to catch up, the captain was running around in the streets and alleys and soon disappeared without a trace.

 After the two lost the trace of the captain, they realized the seriousness of the problem. Kalugin said: "We must go back and report to the police chief and ask our superiors to send someone to search for this suspicious captain."

 After reaching an agreement, the two rushed to the duty station to see the police sergeant.

When the police sergeant saw the two people entering the door, he asked disapprovingly: "So, is there no gain? I just said that General Sokov is neurotic, and maybe there is no such strange captain in the town as he mentioned. "

“Comrade Sheriff,” Kalugin said breathlessly, “General Sokov is right, there is indeed a suspicious captain in the town.”

“What, is there really a suspicious captain in the town?” The police chief asked with shock on his face: “Where is he now?”

"Run away." After Kalugin reported the situation to the police chief, he finally said: "If there is no problem with this captain, he should take the initiative to show his ID when facing our interrogation instead of pushing us down. Just ran away."

"This matter is very serious. I must report it to the chief immediately." The chief said, grabbing the phone number on the table and speaking into the microphone: "I am the chief of Khimki Town. If there is an important situation, please report to the police." Comrade Director’s report.”

But the person on the other end of the phone said: "Comrade Director is not here. I am the director of the Director's Office. If you have anything, you can report it to me."

“Comrade Director, our police found a suspicious captain in Khimki Town. We hope that our superiors can send more manpower to help us capture this captain.”

After listening to the sergeant's report, the director of the bureau office asked impatiently: "Comrade sergeant, tell me, what's suspicious about the captain? The police force in the bureau is limited and cannot be wasted in unimportant places."

Seeing that the director of the bureau office did not pay attention to the matter at all, the police chief became a little anxious. After he quickly reported the whole story to the other party, he finally added: "Actually, the first person who discovered the suspicious identity of the captain was not a police officer at our duty station. But General Sokov."

"General Sokov?!" Hearing that the person who found the captain's suspicious identity was a general, the director of the bureau had to pay enough attention. He asked: "Comrade Sheriff, I wonder which department this is General Sokov? "

The words of the director of the bureau confused the police chief. How did he know where Sokov was working now? Just when he was in a dilemma, Peter, who had followed Kalugin in, suddenly said: "Comrade Sheriff, just say it was General Sokov who led the garrison squad to defend the town of Khimki."

"Comrade Director." Peter's words made the sergeant grasp a life-saving straw. He quickly said: "It was General Sokov who led the garrison squad to prevent the German reconnaissance troops from entering the town of Khimki. He found something wrong with the captain."

Hearing that the chief had moved Sokov out, the director of the bureau realized the seriousness of the problem: "Comrade chief, although the chief is not here, the nature of this matter is very serious. I will personally bring people over to assist." You are hunting this person. What you have to do now is to have people block the exits of the town to prevent this suspicious captain from escaping."

“Understood, Comrade Director. I will arrange manpower to block all exits in the town and never let him escape.”
