Red Moscow

Chapter 2619

After Sokov took Bakanidze away from the scene of the car accident, he visited many places. When he returned to the scene of the car accident, almost three hours had passed.

Still far away, Sokov saw many people busy at the scene of the car accident. He suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart and quickly accelerated the car.

Naturally, Bakanidze also saw the movement in the distance, and couldn't help but said worriedly: "Misha, what happened? Why are there so many people at the scene of the car accident?"

"I don't know, but I feel something is wrong." Sokov said this, but he was wondering in his heart whether it was because he appeared at the scene of car accidents so many times that the traffic police department specially organized manpower to clean up the scene. The wreckage of the vehicle, lest you find out anything.

Soon, Sokov drove the car to the group of people. He was surprised to find that the wreckage of the two accident cars that had been parked here had disappeared. Although he was unwilling to let Bakanize find out the truth, lest it cause a series of unnecessary troubles. But when he discovered that the vehicle had disappeared, he still felt a little disappointed.

"Comrade traffic police," Sokov rolled down the window and asked the busy traffic police outside, "What are you busy with?"

The traffic police heard someone asking him, and was about to drive away these ignorant people who were disturbing his work. But when he looked up and saw that the person who asked him was actually a general, he was immediately shocked. He hurriedly stood at attention, raised his hand in salute, and said nervously: "Hello, Comrade General, what are your instructions?"

Sokov repeated what he just said: "Comrade traffic police, I ask you what are you doing here?"

"As you can see, we are cleaning up the scene of the accident."

"I remember that there used to be the remains of two accident cars here. Where have they gone now?"

"Being dragged away, Comrade General!"

"Towed to where?"

"I don't know, Comrade General."

"Who is your superior, Lieutenant Sabina?"

The traffic policeman did not expect that Sokov could actually say Sabina's name. After a brief moment of astonishment, he shook his head and said: "No, Comrade General, Lieutenant Sabina is the head of another group, and my superior is Maliu." Lieutenant Cove. Do you want to see him?"

"Yes, Comrade Traffic Police." Sokov nodded: "Please ask him to come over."

While the traffic police were leaving, Sokov turned around and asked the two people sitting in the back seat: "We seem to be a little late. The traffic police have already cleared the scene. I wonder if it will have any adverse impact on your investigation?"

"I'm sorry, Bakanidze, I think I may not be able to help you." The man named Yuri, after staring out the window for a while, shook his head and said: "The scene has been completely destroyed, you just put Holmes Please come, I’m afraid I won’t find any useful clues.”

"Comrade General," Sokov wanted to say a few words, but he heard someone calling him outside the window. He turned around and saw that the traffic policeman was coming with a second lieutenant, who should be the second lieutenant Malenkov just mentioned. The second lieutenant stood outside the car, raised his hand to salute Sokov, and asked politely: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Comrade Second Lieutenant, I would like to ask where the remains of the two accident cars that were originally parked here are now?"

"It was towed away." After the second lieutenant said this, before Sokov could ask again, he continued: "Comrade General, I don't know where the wreckage of the car was towed. I just received a notification from my superiors. The order said that there was a traffic accident here yesterday, and the car wreckage was placed here, which had an adverse impact on traffic, so I was sent to bring people to clean up the scene. The tow truck that took away the car wreckage was sent by the traffic corps. Where they will take the wreckage of the car, I really don’t know.”

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from the second lieutenant, Sokov thanked him and sent him away. Then he turned to Bakanidze and asked: "What should we do next?"

The wreckage of the accident car was pulled away, and serious damage was found at the scene of the accident. I am afraid that as Yuri said, even if Holmes is invited, useful clues may not be found from the cleaned scene. When Bakanidze saw Sokov asking for his opinion, he could only sigh softly and said, "Misha, let's go back to the family area of ​​the instrument factory."

Sokov didn't want it, so he quickly turned the car around and drove towards the instrument factory's family area. At the same time, he said apologetically to the two people who were helping him: "I'm so sorry, I came here specially to find out what happened to the accident." But I didn’t expect that the traffic police would suddenly clean up the scene and destroy all the evidence.”

After sending Yuri and Yuri home, Sokov asked Bakanidze: "Where should we go next, the hospital?"

"No need." But Bakanidze shook his head and said, "Asia is taken care of by her mother. You can stay here or go home if you want. It's up to you."

Sokov thought that if he stayed here, if someone wanted to look for him, he would not be able to find him: "I'd better go home, in case someone looks for me and can't find me. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow and visit you together." Asia."

"I'll find a car to go to the hospital myself, so you don't have to come over." Bakanidze said to Sokov: "Asia has been in a car accident, and I don't want you to encounter the same situation."

"Okay then, we'll see you at the hospital tomorrow."

Sokov said goodbye to Bakanidze and returned home.

Not long after I sat down, the phone rang.

The call was from Yakov. He asked with concern: "Misha, did you just come back from the hospital?"

"No, I came back from the family area of ​​the instrument factory."

"Asia's parents, did you notice anything?" Yakov asked warily.

"Her father felt that this car accident was a bit strange, so he decided to find two friends who had been criminal police officers to investigate the scene."

"My God, if we let people who have been criminal police officers go to the scene of the car accident to investigate, they can find more clues than us." Yakov continued to ask: "Then how did you deal with it?"

"When we arrived, the wreckage of the accident car had been pulled away, and even the scene of the accident had been cleaned up. The two people who came to help, seeing that they could not find clues, could only ask me to send them back in disappointment. ”

"That's good, that's good." Yakov said with relief: "I think the people who are going to deal with you are very powerful. If your father-in-law is involved, they may be killed, so there are things that should be concealed. , I still have to hide it. "Yasha, have you found any clues?"

Yakov was silent for a while, and then said: "There are some clues. I think it may be people from Leningrad who have conflicts with Zhukov and Malenkov."

"I can understand the conflict between them and Malenkov." After Sokov waited for Yakov to finish speaking, he immediately expressed his opinion: "But Zhukov was the hero who once saved Leningrad. In 1940 In October, if Zhukov hadn't been sent to Leningrad by your father to replace Marshal Voroshilov and serve as the commander of the Leningrad Front, readjust the strategy of fighting the German army and tenaciously block the enemy, I am afraid that the city would have been destroyed earlier. It fell into the hands of the Germans."

Unexpectedly, Yakov sneered after hearing this: "Misha, you are so naive. Yes, it was Zhukov who saved Leningrad, but in the eyes of the Leningrad leaders, he was just a hasty person. Passers-by, and now that the war is over, everything Zhukov did back then may have been completely forgotten by them. Besides, they are now fighting for it..."

What are they fighting for? Before Yakov could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. When Sokov saw that the other party only said half of what he said and stopped, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Yasha, why did you only say half of what you said? What are they fighting for?"

"Misha, it's better for you not to know some things, so as not to know when you will get angry." Yakov did not continue this topic, but changed to another topic: "Asia is still in a coma now, you You need to stay with her more. After she wakes up, you will have to watch her closely to prevent her from doing anything drastic if she finds out that her child is gone."

"Don't worry, Yasha, I will take good care of Asiya." After Sokov said this, he suddenly remembered something: "Yasha, you said that the strength of those people is huge, then will they?" Will our phone calls be monitored? In that case, we won’t have any secrets in their eyes, and everything we do now will become ridiculous.”

Yakov couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. If what Sokov said was true and those people were conducting surveillance in the dark, then what he and Sokov did during this period would be noticed by them. In his eyes, the things he is trying to hide will become ridiculous.

He calmed down and said to Sokov: "Misha, I think no matter how powerful the opponent is, it may not be easy to monitor us. After all, this is Moscow, not Leningrad. They My hands can’t be stretched that long.”

"I hope so." Sokov yawned and said, "Yasha, is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up. I've been running all day today and I'm terribly tired. I need to take the time to get some sleep as soon as possible. to regain strength."

"Then you should rest early. If I have clues, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Just when Sokov was about to hang up the phone, Yakov remembered something again and said quickly: "Misha, wait a minute."

"What's going on?" Sokov asked weakly.

"Your play is released, when do you plan to watch it?"

"Drama, what drama?"

"It is a drama adapted from the novel "The Dawns Here Are Quiet"." Yakov said: "It is said that after the drama was released, it was very popular and it can be said that it is hard to get a ticket. If you want to watch it, I can go first Buy a ticket and let’s go see it together another day.”

"No, I don't know when Asiya will wake up yet." But Sokov politely rejected the other party's kindness: "Before she wakes up, how can I have the intention to watch a drama, even if it is based on my story?" It’s not even adapted from the novel.”

After Sokov hung up the phone, he walked to the cabinet on the wall, opened the cabinet, and took out his manuscript from inside. The book "Ordinary Soldier" was about 10,000 words away from being completed, but after Asya's incident happened, Sokov suddenly lost the mood to write a book. But looking at this book, there were only 10,000 words left to finish it. If he didn't write it, Sokov felt unwilling to do so. For a time, he was in a dilemma.

The phone on the table rang again. Sokov thought Yakov had forgotten something, so he called again.

He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and asked angrily: "Yasha, is there anything else you haven't finished talking about?"

Unexpectedly, there was silence in the receiver. After a while, a woman's voice asked cautiously: "Is it Misha?"

"Yes, I am Misha." Sokov felt that the voice was familiar, but it was definitely not Agelina or Karina, so he asked tentatively: "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The voice in the receiver suddenly became louder: "I am Kopalova, can't you even recognize my voice?"

"It's you, Kopalova. Happy New Year!"

"I also wish you a happy New Year!" Kopalova asked in a cheerful tone: "Misha, what are you busy with during the New Year?"

"Busy. What's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine, can't I call you?" Kopalova retorted: "Is it because Asya is by your side, so scared that you don't even have the courage to connect to my phone?"

Sokov sighed softly and said, "Asya is not at home."

"Not at home, is it at her parents' home?"

"No, she is in the hospital." Sokov took the initiative and said without waiting for Kopalova to continue asking: "She was unfortunately involved in a car accident on her way back home from Khimki yesterday. Although she was rescued, she was out of danger. , but she still hasn’t woken up, and the baby in her belly is gone.”

After hearing this, Kopalova couldn't help being surprised, and then said apologetically: "Misha, I'm sorry, I didn't know that such a thing happened in your family. I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me for being reckless."

"It doesn't matter." Sokov knew very well that if there was nothing important, Kopalova would not take the initiative to call home to look for him, so he asked tentatively: "What do you want to see me for?"

"Misha, it's like this." Kopalova said: "I went out to buy things today. When I passed a theater, I saw a poster on the wall. On it, the talk show "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" was being screened. . I thought that you wrote this novel, so I wanted to invite you to watch the play. But I didn’t expect that something like this happened in your family. I’m afraid you won’t be in the mood to watch the play for a long time.”

"Yes, Kopalova, you are right. Before Asya woke up, I had no intention of watching any drama." Sokov said politely: "But I still want to thank you for meeting this person." You can think of me. When Asiya's condition stabilizes, I'll invite you to watch the drama."

Kopalova originally heard that Sokov had been in a bad mood recently and had already given up on inviting her to watch the play. But then I heard the other party say that as long as Asiya wakes up, she will take the initiative to invite her to watch a movie, and she couldn't help but feel happy: "Misha, I have remembered what you said. I hope you won't make any mistakes again."

Why did he say "again"? Sokov thought in confusion: "Did I make any promises to her before, but failed to fulfill them in the end?"
