The lady smiled and nodded, also in Russian, "Can you know which university you attended?" You don't know German? ”

Unexpectedly... This woman also speaks Russian. Listening to the accent is pretty standard.。。 At least it sounds more like the old guy Eunice than Paul, them.

Hearing her question, I quickly shook my head and said, "No, no. I think you're mistaken. My university is in Russia. "The first thing that came to my mind when I said this was the university that went to rescue Ivan in Mariupol, but when I saw the decorative painting on the wall, I thought of Yashin, and then I blurted out: "Repin... Repin Academy of Fine Arts. I said, pointing to the painting on the wall, "But I didn't learn to draw, I studied architecture... I pointed outside and said, "For example, many of the buildings in this city are Rococo period. ”

Actually, I'm talking nonsense. Because I don't know if the Repin Academy of Fine Arts has any buildings or not, I just heard that the oil bottle talked to Yashin, and I only listened to a few words, and I can't even remember which city in Russia the Repin Academy of Fine Arts is in. And Rococo, I don't know exactly what it looks like, I also heard it.

However, these lies of mine worked well, and the lady's gaze in front of her suddenly became much friendlier, and she smiled and said, "It turned out to be a student of the famous Academy of Fine Arts. Speaking of architecture, we have a lot of character here, but you should also visit Vienna. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. There is a chance that I want to enjoy it. But look at my time ... I said, gesturing to the clock on the wall.

The lady seemed to remember something, and then she was very embarrassed and walked to the back with me, "Please." In fact, we rarely have such a situation here. I don't know what this time was for. ”

I nodded, pretending not to know the same expression and said, "You are like a big garden here, people are reluctant to leave, could it be that there is some kind of exercise or something, or some important national leader has come?" ”

"Who knows. But we people here generally don't care much about politics, let alone politicians. The lady shook her head and said she didn't know as she led me into the back of the work area, where there was a large washing machine, ironing tools and a workbench. Then we walked through the work area to what looked like a clothes storage room, and behind this clothes storage room was a place to store miscellaneous items, and in this room there was another door.

She led me through the door and opened the door that had been locked from the inside, and then pushed the door open, which, judging by the sound it made as it was pushed open, probably didn't open much.

I quickly looked out, and there was a small courtyard with a low courtyard wall. And it looks like this row of common courtyards. I walked into the courtyard, and the lady followed, and then she pointed to her right and said, "Go here." ”

I hurried after her, and after a while she led me to an iron fence gate in the courtyard, and she took out a key to open the door and pointed to a path outside the courtyard: "To the right, that is, in the direction you came from, is a dead end, only to the left, after crossing this path you should be back on the main road." ”

Just then my phone rang, and I pulled out the phone and looked at it, it was Salenko calling. I looked apologetically at the lady in front of me and said, "I'm sorry." This is my companion, and I guess they thought I was missing and couldn't catch up. After I finished speaking, I answered the phone and immediately said, "I'm almost there." Where are you? “

"I'm already at the mall." Salenko said.

"Good. I'll be there right away. I hung up the phone. I looked at the lady and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, ma'am. I don't know what your name is yet? ”

"Aniko." The lady said.

"Ms. Anneco. It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you even more for helping me. ”

The lady smiled and said, "You're welcome sir, I hope you can meet your companion as soon as possible and catch the plane." ”

I nodded, said goodbye, and quickly ran down the path. As I ran, I tucked the communicator's headset back into my ear as I dialed Lukovich's phone, which was also quickly connected, "How's it going?" ”

"Nothing special. But it seems that the police are coming outside. Lukovic said.

"Don't move, you all hide. I've found Salenko now, and we'll be there soon. You just said you had hostages in your hands? I asked.

"Yes. There are quite a few of them. Hehe. Lukovich said and smiled.

"Okay. Don't hurt them, it will be useful in a moment. I hung up the phone.

After a while I reached the end of the path, I first stretched out my head to look out, this was the street where the restaurant was, but there were very few people on the road at the moment. I looked in the direction of the restaurant, and there were several people lying near the entrance to the restaurant, unable to tell whether it was our people or the other party's, or innocent passers-by. There was some confusion there, there were ambulances on the road, there were many people around, the ambulance staff were busy, and the police were helping and maintaining order. I looked across the road, and I saw the mall that Salenko was talking about, so I immediately dialed Salenko's phone.

"I'm already on the side of the road, I'm on the west side of the restaurant now. I can see the mall you mentioned from my location. I said.

"I'll come right over."

"Good. Watch out for police on the road. Avoid them. Don't hang up the phone, don't hang up until we see each other. I said.

"Understood." Salenko was silent after answering a word. I hid in the shadows of the intersection and watched the situation on the other side of the road. A moment later, a figure emerged from the flower bed in the corner of the mall, and the figure quickly moved towards me.

I picked up the phone and said, "I see you." ”

Salenko didn't speak, but waved his hand at me, indicating that he saw me as well. At this moment, a voice came from the communicator in my ear, "This is Bravo." There are a lot of cops here. What are we going to do? ”

"Have you arrived?"

"It's already here."

"Then get ready to do it. I'm almost to you. I'm here to talk to the police. ”

"Understood!"

I looked at Salenko, "Let's hurry over." They're going to do it to Lukovich. “

As I spoke, I quickened my pace and ran along the side of the road toward the city center, Salenko following me with a pistol in his hand. After about a hundred meters, I saw a car parked on the side of the road in front of me, and two people were getting things out of the car, and judging by the appearance of those things, these should be weapons.
