Chapter 2859

Arina was very efficient in her work. At noon the next day, the information Sokov wanted was placed on her desk.

Seeing Arina sending information over, Gerchkov, who was originally sitting next to him, also sat down. He was eager to know whether Sokov's judgment was accurate and whether Major Babushkin, the head of the Kremlin Armory, was suspected of collusion with the enemy.

Sokov opened Major Babushkin's information and checked it carefully.

The content on the information is very detailed, not only Major Babushkin's resume, but also his activity track in the past week.

Gerchkov, who was standing in Sokov, immediately expressed his opinion after reading the contents on the information: "Major Sokov, Comrade Babushkin, has not left the Kremlin this week. It seems that your speculation may be wrong."

Sokov put down the information in his hand, looked up at Arina standing in front of him, and asked with a serious expression: "Len Arina, are you sure Major Babushkin has never left the Kremlin in this week?"

"Yes, I'm sure he hasn't left the Kremlin."

Sokov, who was unwilling to accept it, continued to ask, "What if, what I mean, there is an exit near the armory, what if he leaves from this exit but no one sees it, thus giving people the illusion that he has never left the Kremlin?"

"This is impossible, Major Comrade." Arina denied Sokov's statement without thinking: "Even internal personnel of the Kremlin must register when entering and leaving, and all entrances and exits strictly comply with this regulation. In other words, it is completely true that Major Babushkin has not left the Kremlin for a week."

Sokov frowned and became suspicious of his guess last night: "Is it really because I was wrong in judgment that Babushkin was not suspected of colluding with the enemy?"

Seeing Sokov remained silent, Gerchkov looked at Arina and said carefully: "Major Sokov, it seems that our detection direction has deviated again. What should we do next?"

Gerchkov's words woke Sokov from his contemplation. He turned his head and looked at Gerchkov who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "Comrade Major, don't worry for the time being. I always feel that there is a deviation in some places. Wait until I can sort out my thoughts."

"Okay." Seeing that Sokov was unwilling to admit his mistakes, he did not be aggressive, but walked towards his seat, and said rationally: "Then you think slowly and tell me when you have a new idea."

Seeing Gerchkov walking back to his seat, Arina lowered her voice and said, "Major Sokov, maybe your judgment is really wrong!"

Sokov looked at Arina in front of him. Although he was not talking, he was thinking quickly in his mind whether he had made a mistake in his judgment or neglected a certain detail, which made the direction of the detection seem confusing.

He was about to pick up Babushkin's information again and check it carefully, but he found that the folder Arina gave him was also provided with information from other members of the Armory.

"These are information from other members of the Armory." Arina whispered: "I checked by the way when you asked me to check Major Babushkin."

"Thank you, Alina!" After Sokov expressed his gratitude to Alina, he gave up his plan to continue to check the information of Babushkin, and instead picked up the information of other members and browsed it carefully.

There is nothing suspicious about the information of the three deputy. Although they had records of entering and leaving the Kremlin this week, they all showed that they had no chance to contact German agents after the attack and could basically be excluded from the suspect.

After reading the information of the three deputy, Sokov continued to read the information of the remaining four soldiers.

This time, he discovered a questionable object, a soldier named Nai who basically entered and exited the Kremlin every day.

This discovery made Sokov excited. He pushed Nayi's information to Arina: "Alena, have you noticed that the whereabouts of this warrior are suspicious and they go in and out of the Kremlin every day."

After hearing Sokov said that, Alina quickly picked up Nayi's information and checked it carefully.

After reading it, she nodded slowly and said, "Yes, Comrade Major, you are right. This Nayi does go in and out of the Kremlin every day, which is worth our doubts."

Gerchkov, who was sitting behind the desk next to him, heard the conversation between Sokov and Arina, and quickly stood up and asked, "Did you find any clues?"

"Yes, Major." Sokov handed Nayi's information to Gerchkov and said to him: "Look, this armory soldier goes in and out of the Kremlin every day, and I think he should be included in the list of suspects."

Gerchkov turned to ask Alina: "Comrade Lieutenant, do people in the Kremlin need to register for the reason for entering and leaving?"

"Of course." Arina nodded vigorously after hearing this, and said in a positive tone: "This is the basic procedure."

"According to the information," Gerchkov said, staring at the information in his hand: "This armory administrator named Nai enters the Kremlin at 7:30 a.m. every morning and then leaves at 5:30 a.m.."

"Where did he come in and out? Can you find it, Lieutenant Arina?" Sokov asked.

"Of course." Alina nodded and continued: "There is a small door not far from the armory. After going out, it is Alexander Garden. If we want to figure out what Nai has done after leaving the Kremlin, we can check the registration records there."

Sokov stood up and said, "What are you doing while standing there? Let's go over and find out the situation immediately."

A few minutes later, the jeep the three of them took was parked at the entrance to the northwest of the Kremlin.

After getting off the bus, Sokov's eyes glanced around. This was the Alexander Garden located in the northwest of the Kremlin. Decades later, in the southwest of the garden, the famous tomb of the unknown martyrs will be built, with two lines of eye-catching letters engraved on the ground: "No one knows your name, your achievements will last forever." And in the southwest, a large underground mall will be built, making it a check-in place for tourists.

The iron door entering the Kremlin was closed tightly, and Alina stepped forward and knocked heavily on the door with her fist.

A small window on the iron door opened, revealing a young face. He looked at the three strangers outside the door and asked with a stern face: "What's wrong with you?"

Alina showed her ID: "I am Alina, the second lieutenant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was ordered to come here to investigate some things."

After reading Arina's ID, the person in the door replied coldly: "Lieutenant, if you want to know anything, please communicate with our superiors first. You can only enter here after you get authorization."

Sokov stepped forward and said to the person in the door: "I am Major Sokov. We don't have to enter the Kremlin, we just want to check the registration records for your entry and exit here."

The person in the door frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Major, the Kremlin's entry and exit registration book is not a confidential file, but it is not something that anyone wants to check. I still say the same thing. If you want to do anything, please contact my superiors. After obtaining the authorization, I will naturally cooperate with you." After that, I was about to close the small window.

But Alina moved quickly, and directly reached out to block the small window panel and said bluntly: "I have obtained the authorization of Comrade Belia to investigate anywhere. If you make things difficult for us, can you afford the consequences of our investigation work?"

Faced with Alina's sternness, the soldiers in the door hesitated for a moment, opened the door, and said humbly: "Comrade Lieutenant, I can cooperate with you in the investigation, but you must assure me that you must never enter the Kremlin."

"I know." Sokov said, "We'll ask something at the door and we'll never enter the Kremlin."

After the three of them walked into the small door, Sokov saw a small duty room on the left side of the door. The soldiers who opened the door should usually sit inside and on duty.

Arina said to the warrior: "Please show us all the records of the entry and exit of the last week."

The soldier did not dare to neglect, so he quickly brought the registration book and handed it over to Alina.

Arina took the registration book and quickly defended.

Since there are not many people entering and leaving this small gate, Alina didn't take long to find out how long Nayi entered and exited each time and why she left.

After checking the registration book, Arina told Sokov: "Comrade Major, according to the records in the registration book, the reason why Nayi left the Kremlin every day is because his family had a seriously ill mother and he wanted to go home to take care of her."

Sokov did not believe such a record, but in front of the gatekeeper, he did not want to easily disclose the secrets. He said to the warrior: "Comrade Warrior, how many people are on duty in this sect?"

"I am the only one, Major." The goalkeeper explained to Sokov: "We have a 12-hour shift, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, someone will take over my job. Then the next shift will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Sokov nodded slowly, thanked the goalkeeper, and took Gerchkov and Arina back to the jeep parked not far away.

As soon as the three of them returned to the car, Gerchkov couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Major, are we here specifically to check the entry and exit registration book?"

Sokov looked at Gerchkov and said, "Minister Major, don't worry, I think this Nayi has many doubts. When Nayi leaves tonight, you send someone to follow him to see who he has contacted."

"Major Sokov, don't be so troublesome." Arina said first without waiting for Gerchkov to speak: "We will arrest Nayi and take it back for a review. We will get the answer we want without waiting."

"No, we can't do this." Sokov knew very well how the Ministry of Internal Affairs interrogated the prisoner. If Nayi really colluded with the Germans and tried him, it would be understandable. He was afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would torture and force confessions and would lead to a bunch of worthless false confessions.

"What should I do?" Alina glanced at Gerchkov next to her and said anxiously: "Do you really have to wait until Nayi gets off work before tracking and surveillance him? In this way, I'm worried about delaying time."

"Yes, Major Sokov." As soon as Arina finished speaking, Gerchkov expressed support for her opinion: "What we need now is time. If the insecurity factors cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, the consequences will be very serious."

Seeing that the two agreed on the opinions, Sokov frowned again and then said, "Or, let's go both ways. Comrade Major, you should arrange for people to stay outside. After Nayi comes out, you will follow him to see who he has had contact with; and you, Alina, your task is to go to his house in person based on Nayi's home address to see if there is a sick mother to take care of."

After Sokov finished speaking, Gerchkov raised a question: "Major Sokov, even if there is a problem with this Nayi, he is just an ordinary armory administrator. He really has the courage to provide weapons to German agents and even put them into the Kremlin?"

"I still say the same thing: bold assumptions and be careful to prove it." Sokov said to the two: "As you said, Nayi is just a small person. Whether it is to provide weapons and equipment to German agents or to let them enter the Kremlin, it is still far from enough to rely on him alone. Therefore, I think that if he is confirmed to be the inner supporter lurking in the armory, there must be others behind him."

"There are other people behind him?" Alina asked in surprise: "Who is it? Do you suspect it is Major Babushkin, the head of the Armory?"

"Sorry, Alina, I can't give you a positive answer yet." Sokov said to Alina: "Now, you should start to deploy according to the plan I just mentioned, and strive to solve the case as soon as possible."

Arina wanted to investigate Nayi's family, so she opened the car door and got out of the car, preparing to gather colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to Nayi's house for investigation.

After Arina left, Gerchkov asked the driver to drive and return to the task force's office.

On the way, Gerchkov asked Sokov curiously: "Major Sokov, do you really think Major Babushkin, the head of the armory, is suspected of colluding with the Germans?" After asking this question, before Sokov answering, he continued, "We have all read the information collected by Lieutenant Arina. Major Babushkin has not left the Kremlin for a week. How did he collude with the Germans?"

"It is indeed unlikely that he himself wants to meet the Germans in person. After all, he has not left the Kremlin for a week." Sokov slowly explained to Gerchkov: "But if he has a capable subordinate who will take over him to contact the Germans every time, even if we investigate him, he will see that he has been in the Kremlin for a week and has not had time to contact with German agents, and will directly rule out his suspicion."
