Struggle in Soviet Russia

Victor’s jeep was parked next to the checkpoint at the entrance of the saltworks. A captain in military uniform walked over and opened the door for him. At the same time, he saluted and greeted: "Comrade Victor Victorovich, as your previous request, we Enough protection has been done to the scene, and everything here, including the location of the body and the condition of the truck, has not changed."

Victor got out of the car, glanced at the other person, raised his hand in return, and said, "When was the specific time of the attack?"

"Ten o'clock in the evening, to be precise, it is ten and four o'clock," the captain replied hurriedly, his eyes frightened, and when facing Victor, it would be easy to feel his fear.

Yes, the captain is one level higher than Victor, who is the lieutenant, but the problem is that the two positions are different. Victor, a national security lieutenant, is one level higher than the military's captain. What's more, the great purge that made the whole country tremble has just passed. Anyone who faces the "blue hat" will inevitably have a sense of fear, and this comrade captain is naturally no exception.

Getting the answer from the captain's mouth, Victor didn't continue to ask anything else. He looked around and took a cursory look at the surrounding situation.

This was a very unsuccessful attack launched by a certain anti-Soviet element. Their target was obviously a certain mine in the Drohobeck Saltworks. Yes, it could only be a certain place, in terms of the strength of the attacker. This is a suicide attack. It would be good to be able to destroy a mine. Wanting to destroy the entire saltworks is undoubtedly an idiot.

However, the words cannot be too absolute. There is another situation that may make the result of the attack different, and that is that the other party has internal responses.

Then, a question arises. If the attacker really has an internal response, why not simply rely on the internal response that penetrated into the salt field to carry out the attack? Are they short of manpower or materials? This depends on the specific situation at the scene.

The defense forces inside the saltworks are very strong. A high-power searchlight at the entrance can provide a panoramic view of a large area of ​​wasteland on the east side of the saltworks. With this searchlight as the core, the factory protection forces have set up three machine gun firepower points, let alone A truck, a few people, even if it comes to a reinforced platoon, I am afraid it is not so easy to succeed.

At this time, a large number of soldiers were arranged at the entrance of the entire factory area. Near the isolation poles, there were even temporary fire resistance points built by sandbags. In addition, there was a tank parked in the factory area. He was heavily guarded.

Victor went around the truck and found that the truck was stuck in the position of the isolation rod. The front of the truck had bent the isolation rod, but it did not crash. This shows that the kinetic energy of the truck is insufficient when it rushes to the customs, and the impact force it creates is not enough to break the isolation rod with the thickness of the thigh. The reason for this situation is that the acceleration of the truck is not enough, which shows that it has parked the vehicle very close to the isolation rod.

After questioning the captain, Victor learned from the other party that the assailant on the truck had indeed stopped for inspection. This shows that the other party didn’t think about going through the barrier at first, but wanted to sneak in by trying to fish in troubled waters, but it was revealed later. This turned to forcibly.

There are five bodies lying around the truck, two of them are guard soldiers, and the remaining three are plain-clothed assailants. From the position of the latter three bodies lying down, they have tried to rely on the truck as an obstacle after being exposed. The guards in the factory counterattacked, but they did not have heavy weapons, only two pistols and one rifle, and they were eventually shot by the guards behind the truck.

The Drohobeck Saltworks belongs to a large-scale enterprise. It is similar to a large-scale state-owned enterprise in the country. The Workers’ and Peasants’ Police Directorate in Lviv has no right to intervene in cases like this kind of attack. It is the national security department.

However, as far as the current structure of the Soviet People’s Committee of the Interior is concerned, the State Security Administration lacks its own case-handling personnel in certain criminal investigation-related fields. Therefore, it is often necessary to cooperate with the Criminal Investigation Administration in the process of handling actual cases. .

Yes, in today's Soviet Union, the Criminal Investigation and Civil Police Directorate are two different departments, which is different from the establishment of a criminal police team in the domestic Public Security Bureau to be responsible for criminal investigation work.

Although the attack on the Drohobeck saltworks did not cause much damage, the impact was great. Less than an hour after the incident, Viktor received a call from Kiev, Lieutenant Colonel Serov. He called in person and asked him to personally supervise the case.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Serov, this attack on the Drohobeck saltworks proves that under the seemingly calm waters of Lviv, there are one or even multiple rampant anti-Soviet organizations that are of this nature. If the organization is not eliminated, it will be a permanent threat to the stability of the country and society.

Standing in the front of the truck, Victor lighted himself a cigarette-his addiction to cigarettes has also increased rapidly recently, mainly because of the pressure at work, which made his nerves a little nervous.

The six criminal investigators he transferred from the Criminal Investigation Bureau began to investigate and analyze the scene. When the truck door full of bullet holes was forcibly removed, a **** corpse fell out of the cabin as the door detached, and fell to the ground like a piece of rotten meat.

Two criminal investigators leaned forward and used tweezers to take out a document that was almost soaked in blood from the tightly held hands of the corpse. The two gathered together and looked at the document carefully. Only one of them sent it to Victor. I whispered something to him.

"Comrade Captain," Victor beckoned to the captain, and motioned for the other person to come and check the document, "Now, please tell me whether this document is true or not, and whether the identity of the holder of the document is true."

The captain did not dare to have any delay, and hurriedly arranged for someone to check it. The certificates of the salt field are all specially made. One certificate corresponds to one person, and one number corresponds to one certificate. In addition, the cover and bottom page of the certificate have secret marks, which are not easy to imitate.

After a short time, the person who checked it hurried back. After checking, it was confirmed that the document was authentic and the name information on it was correct. However, the photo pasted on the document was incorrect and was replaced.

While checking the documents, the criminal investigators discovered the same documents from the remaining corpses. When combined, there were six documents, one for each. The captain arranged for someone to check the remaining documents, and found that these documents were all genuine, just like the first one, with only one photo changed.

At the same time, the person who checked the documents also brought news that these six documents have been reported as missing. The earliest one was declared four months ago, and the latest one was just declared a week ago. .

I heard that the first one was filed four months ago. The originally nervous captain finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least this shows that the other party’s attack plan was brewing a long time ago. Yes, this refers to the saltworks a long time ago. It was still Polish.

Victor also noticed this. Since the attackers have been operating this incident four months ago, it means that they are not purely anti-Soviet organizations. They are also opposed to the Polish government. In this way, it is relatively easy to judge the other party’s political orientation. There is no doubt that this group must be a Ukrainian nationalist organization. They are pursuing Ukrainian independence, whether it is Polish or Russian, whoever They are against whom they rule Ukraine.

"Comrade Captain, what you need to do now is to control all the people related to these documents." Throwing away the cigarette **** in his hand, Victor motioned to the criminal investigator to put away the documents. Then he said to the captain, "Later. , I need to ask them some questions."

"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant, I will make arrangements right away," the captain replied respectfully. The only thing he is looking forward to now is not to involve himself in this case. If possible, he is more willing to be a little transparent so that no one can see him.

A salute to the obedient captain, Victor turned and returned to his car. He is very busy now, but he doesn't have so much time to focus on this case. In fact, he is very dissatisfied with the current organization of the People's Committee of the Interior's power and responsibility arrangements, because as far as the entire organization is concerned, there are many overlapping powers and unclear powers and responsibilities in the division of various organizations. If the entire organization is sufficiently staffed, then there is no problem. It is nothing more than a bloated organization. But the problem now is that the manpower available to him is severely insufficient, and some functional departments are just empty shelves. This has caused a lot of problems. The result of his own hands-on work is required.

Just like today, one night, he had to rush to the **** Drohoberg to check the scene to show his importance to this case. And tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, he will go to the city hall to attend an important meeting. It is already four o'clock, and when he returns to downtown Lviv, how can it be half past four, which means that he can sleep for less than three hours at most...

Entering Lviv in October, the weather is rapidly getting colder, and the signs of autumn and winter are becoming more and more obvious. The jeep is driving on the road to the city, and you can even hear the night wind coming in through the gap in the car window. "buzzing.

Victor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. What he was thinking about was about the salt farm attack.

Victor has no experience in investigating cases, but he already has some ideas in this case. In his opinion, the main direction of investigating the case now should be to investigate how the documents were lost.

There are six people and six documents, and the process of losing it is impossible without the slightest trace. As long as you can find a detail in it, you may be able to find a breakthrough in this case.
