Chapter 1081 The Hidden Enemy (2)

   After waiting for less than half an hour, Kester brought Avdeyev to the headquarters. Along with them, there were two storekeepers who had just been arrested.

Sokov asked the storekeeper to be shut aside first, and first interrogated Avdeyev: "Avdeyev, let me ask you, before yesterday, has anyone contacted you and asked you to What task do you perform?"

   Hearing Sokov's question, Avdeyev fell silent.

Seeing that Avdeyev was silent, Sokov knew that the other party was still hesitating, so he said to him: "Avdeyev, the deputy director who reported you has been killed. .If I'm not mistaken, that person should be your accomplice?"

   When he learned that the deputy factory director had been killed, Avdeyev's face turned livid. Although he provided some useful information during the trial, he deliberately avoided talking about more situations. He glanced at Sokov with some guilt, and asked tentatively: "Comrade Colonel, if I tell you, can you protect my safety?"

   "I can't promise you anything," Sokov said coldly, "You may die if you say something, but if you don't say anything, you will die faster."

  Sokov's words are overbearing and unreasonable.

   But for Avdeyev, the more the other party is like this, the more he feels at ease. He hurriedly said, "Okay, Comrade Colonel, I will confess truthfully."

   "Speak."

"Actually, not long after I returned to Luhansk, the deputy factory manager called me to his office and exposed my identity. Just when I was panicking, he told me that he had been captured by the Germans before, As a condition of release, he was lurking in the city to serve the Germans.

  Two days ago, he called me to his office again, saying that a group of paratroopers would drop in the city soon, and our task was to cooperate with them in attacking a hotel. "

   "Hotel?" Sokov asked sharply, "What hotel?"

"The deputy factory manager didn't tell me which hotel it is. He only said that there is a big man living in it." Avdeyev shook his head and said, "The task he gave me was to go to the north of the city to meet the German paratroopers. , and acted as a guide for them, took them to the vicinity of the hotel, and tried to kill the big man. But I was afraid, so I rejected the arrangement of the deputy director."

"The deputy factory director saw that you refused to carry out the tasks he gave you, so he asked Sergey to frame you, saying that you stole his ration certificate. And when we searched your residence, the deputy factory director also took the initiative Cooperate with the search and take a dead radio so you can't justify yourself."

   "Yes, Comrade Colonel." Regarding Sokov's analysis, Avdeyev nodded in agreement.

"When we interrogated you yesterday, why didn't you explain this question?" Sokov learned that the other party deliberately concealed it, and as a result, dozens of his subordinates died, so he slapped the table vigorously: "Do you know I know how many soldiers you have killed, just based on this, I can order someone to shoot you immediately."

Hearing that Sokov said he was going to be shot, Avdeyev sat down on the ground in fright, and shouted in a crying voice: "Comrade commander, please spare me, my family is still eighty years old. my old mother, I will take care of her until the end of her life."

   "Damn traitor." After gritting his teeth, Vitkov ordered the police who escorted Avdeyev: "Take him down. I don't want to see this **** traitor again."

  After taking Avdeyev away, Kester escorted the two newly captured storekeepers up.

  Looking at the two storekeepers standing in front of him, one tall and one short, Sokov asked coldly, "Tell me, when did you join the Germans?"

"Comrade Commander," the tall storekeeper said with a sad face, "after we were captured by the Germans, if we didn't agree to help them with their affairs, they would kill us. You haven't seen how they brutally killed us. Those innocent people, the Germans lined up people on the ground and shot everyone in the back of the head."

"Have you ever thought that if you work for the Germans, more innocent people will die because of you?" After Sukov said this sentence angrily, he slowed down and asked: "Speak, What is the task the Germans have given you?"

"Before the Germans let us come back, they said that they had kept our confessions. If we didn't work for them, they would provide these materials to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The tall warehouse manager said: "We have no choice. Only then did he agree to work for the Germans."

   "Then let me ask you again, who asked you to provide our army uniforms to the Germans?"

   "I don't know that man, I've never seen him before." The tall treasury officer shook his head and said, "But he's wearing a captain's uniform, so he should be the commander of some army."

   "Oh, wearing the captain's uniform?" The tall Kuguan's words aroused everyone's curiosity. Kester, who has experience in interrogation, quickly asked: "Can you describe what he looks like?"

"He is tall, half a head taller than me, and he is a little thin." The tall warehouse manager tried his best to recall the officer who assigned the task to him: "His feet seem to be injured, and he is a little limping when walking. By the way, he On the left forehead, there is an inch-long scar."

  Although the tall treasury officer didn't draw the image of the officer, according to the information he provided, there shouldn't be much problem in locking down the suspect. Sokov quickly turned his head and said to Witkov: "Chief of Staff, immediately call the commanders of the divisions and ask him to pay attention to a soldier who is tall and thin, walks with a limp, and has a scar on his forehead on the left side."

   "Isn't he a captain?" Vitkov noticed that Sokov didn't mention the other party's military rank, so he kindly reminded him.

"I don't think he may be a captain, or even an officer." Sokov shook his head and said, "In order not to reveal his true identity when assigning tasks, he probably found a military uniform that does not belong to him. "

"Comrade Commander, if he is an officer, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can find him." Vitkov smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "But he is just an ordinary soldier. If we want to find him , is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

   "Even if it is difficult to find, he must be found." Sokov said to Witkov: "Otherwise, one day he organizes such an attack again, and we will be hard to guard against."

"Well, I will tell the division commanders to pay attention to soldiers who meet the above characteristics." Witkov sighed and said: "When we fight the enemy on the battlefield, at least we know where our enemy is. And lurking The enemies among us are very cunning and good at disguising, even if they are standing beside us, we may not be able to recognize them."
