Chapter 64: The Puzzle (29)
We re-handcuffed Kutcher, who was trained to lead a team of agents on his own, and couldn't treat him like a normal person. Valery brought him some food, and Kutcher was not pretentious, he drank wine before, and this time he began to eat it with the same pleasure. Paul quickly arranged for Kutcher's men to watch him, and two people watched him together at a time.
The old guy didn't really go to sleep right away, but went to an empty room and made a phone call alone. The call was not short, about four or five minutes. After the call, the old guy looked relaxed, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to see me doing?" It's almost dawn, hurry up and go to bed, there are no tasks for the time being. ”
I looked at the old guy and said, "You really found proof of those two people. One is called Zakaev. And another... Call... ”
"Of course not." The old guy waved his hand, "Not very directly, to be exact, because I haven't had time to look through those materials, and I haven't had time to look at them carefully." Kutcher is right, I'm inferring, but judging by Kutcher's reaction and the current situation, my inference is correct. There must be something wrong with these two guys. It is mentioned in those sources that the two guys did work together for some time, and that was in Central and Eastern Europe. That's all for sure. ”
"Then these two men are traitors ... Arrested. You made it all up? I asked.
"Editor? What did I make up? I'm inferring. Not an editor. And there are likely to be clues in those materials, and more importantly, do you think that this guy has lost contact and is alive and dead, what will the person behind him think? The old man said with a sinister smile.
"Will you be in a hurry? Will you be in a hurry to come to him? Will they contact people from NATO? I asked.
"Maybe. Surely it will not be silent anyway. But the worst thing for him is that we are still in the shadows. And he and the people of NATO will soon stand under the sun. The old man said, gesturing to the room where Ogil was closed.
"Are you going to use Ogier's resources?" I asked.
"Of course." The old guy smiled, "I just called." The Russian side is very interested in this, which is not surprising, who would not be interested in a traitor? Hehe, soon the show will be staged. We're going to take good care of this guy, I'm talking about Kutcher, we're going to move him away in the near future. Handed over to the Russian side. The old guy said.
"Those materials ... Did that guy see those things in Berisha? I asked.
"Zakhaev? Of course not. The old guy shook his head, "That guy doesn't know where to put these. But I've reported on this, and Klinger and the other controller of the Seventeenth Bureau should have discussed the problem and value of the information with Zakaev or someone else. Even revealed some of the content to these people. The old fellow thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm going to get out of here in a while, and I'm going to have to go through the information." The charges of these two guys must be confirmed, and maybe more than these two guys will be involved. ”
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" I asked.
"Danger? When have we not been in danger? The old guy sighed as he spoke, "But speaking of danger, I guess it's going to be very uncomfortable these days." The other party must start to make a bigger effort. ”
"It's really the Russian side that is following us today?" I asked.
The old guy nodded, "Not bad." It was supposed to be sent by Zakayev. That means they should have a team of people here, too. ”
"They're on your team, I'm on my team. Why do you feel that you don't trust each other and have to do your own thing? I said, gesturing to Kutcher's room, "This guy must not know that there is a team of Russians quietly watching them." ”
"It's not surprising. They used to be colleagues, and in this business, they may not have complete trust in each other, let alone after all these years, and now they are working for their own countries. Can it be fully trusted? The old fellow sneered, "But that's good news for us. The worse they work together, the better we can do things. ”

"And who are you going to let Ogier find first? From Russia, or from NATO? I asked.
"NATO." The old guy blurted out without even thinking about it, "Of course it's NATO." The threat to these people can be big or small, but the point is that if they are caught or useful evidence, then that statement against me is a good proof. The old guy said.
"Isn't that what about people from Russia? Aren't they more direct proof? I asked, puzzled.
"That's different." The old guy shook his head, "These people who came over, if we have a conflict with them, it will be difficult for you to explain this matter whether you believe it or not?" They may say that we are deliberately attacking them, and they will come up with a glamorous reason for being here, and then say that we have somehow calculated them. But the people in NATO are different, this is not where they should be, they can't be. If it does, it must be cleaned up. Catch them, and no one dares to say anything. And people will listen to what I say, and they will choose to believe what I say and not what their enemies say. ”
"If we catch someone from NATO, will we be able to prove that those two guys are colluding with NATO against us?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on who you get. And whether the person is willing to cooperate. But no matter what, as long as we can catch them, then it doesn't matter whether they open their mouths or not, and it doesn't matter whether what they say after they open their mouths is useful or not, our opponents will be very nervous and passive, and more people on the Russian side will feel that we are being calculated and have ghosts inside. Maybe our quarantined leader will be released from quarantine and censored. The old fellow turned and walked towards a room, "Go to bed early." We'll have to talk to Kutcher and Ogier tomorrow. ”
I didn't go to sleep right away, I'm still excited at the moment. The night was packed enough. first caught Ogier, and by the way, he caught the NATO people by surprise. Then he used Ogier to grab Kutcher directly, which undoubtedly gave our opponent a few hard punches. However, the other party will definitely not give up, and it is impossible to sit still. On the contrary, I suspect that they will plot more forceful or sinister actions against us.
Paul quickly arranged the sentry and manpower, and when he saw that I hadn't slept and said, "What? I slept a lot before, aren't you tired now? ”
"It's okay. I'm in the groove now. I joked.
"Huh. Well done gypsies. When you think back then in Chechnya, you were much more powerful than you were then. Paul smiled.
I looked at him, "Speaking of Chechnya... What to do with Berezov? He is still in the hands of NATO. Are there any plans and actions about him here? ”
Paul listened to me talk about this, put away his smile, and after a moment of silence, shook his head, "Not yet." And there has been no news about him for some time. ”
