Ever since he was taken away by the procuratorate, Chulbanov has completely lost all contact with the outside world. However, now that the economy of the Soviet Union is in a recession, even the life of a prosecutor is not easy, so as long as there is someone who can talk, it is not difficult to meet Chulbanov at all. While the case was still under investigation, a small note was brought in under the dinner plate for dinner.

"The account is safe!"

After seeing these words, Chulbanov's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Chulbanov now lives in fear every day, and he does not know what evidence the prosecution has in his hands. I don't know whether my account in Switzerland is safe or not, and according to the questions of the prosecutors in the past few days, their investigation direction is still focused on the Uzbek case that year. And from time to time he asked questions about Seryosha.

"Why did Comrade Ulyanov, who is now the Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, go to Tashkent with you?"

"Who have you seen in Tashkent?"

"Did the Tashkent side hint to you that if you let them go, you would get a reward in terms of property?"

……

To these questions, Chulbanov replied with only one sentence "I don't remember."

However, although Chulbanov is still carrying it to the death, many of his affairs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been reported by former colleagues who are eager to report the meritorious service of their colleagues, which makes Chulbanov's situation worse and worse.

"Chulbanov, tell me what's going on with your Seagull?" The prosecutor asked coldly.

"Comrade prosecutor, I have already said it! This car was given to us by comrades from other departments for the office of the Ministry of the Interior, and it is still an official car of the Ministry of the Interior! Chulbanov calmly replied.

"Oh? Is it? The results of our investigation are not like this, do you want me to help you remember what Leonov said who gave you this car, he said that Comrade Chubanov suggested that we send a Seagull car as a gift for his promotion to first deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is the son-in-law of Secretary Brezhnev, how dare we go against his words, so we had to squeeze out part of the department's funds to buy this car, when we sent the car to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Comrade Chulbanov did not shirk, and praised the car for its beauty...... The prosecutor mercilessly recalled the confession made by Leonov, who gave Chulbanov to the two Seagull cars.

"Leonov, yes, I'm finally a little impressed. But so what, this car has been used by Minister Sholokov since then, you can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask anyone at random, and when I was transferred from the position of deputy minister, this car was handed over to my successor, it is the property of the public, how can it be counted on my own head......" Chulbanov retorted, in fact, he regretted it very much. At first, Chulbanov really wanted a Seagull car, but after meeting Seryosha, he changed his taste and began to like foreign cars. So the Seagull car was forgotten in the garage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But later, because of Andropov's anti-corruption actions, Chulbanov restrained a lot, until Andropov's death, Chulbanov completely gave up his career thoughts, and followed Seryosha to earn money and enjoy life, now Chulbanov wants what car can't afford to buy?

"Chulbanov, don't be stubborn, you really don't have any evidence for us, do you? Don't say anything else, just say the mansion under your name, the luxury car? How do you explain that? The prosecutor said angrily.

"Comrade prosecutor, I have already resigned from public office, and now I am responding to the call of General Secretary Gorbachev and Secretary Ligachev to devote myself to the business sea to explore the path for the cause of socialist economic reform. Chulbanov said nonchalantly. In fact, he and the prosecutor were very clear in their hearts, it was impossible for the prosecutor to go to Switzerland to investigate and collect evidence, not to mention the Soviet Union and the United States. Chulbanov said so, and the prosecution had nothing to do with him.

The investigation of Chulbanov is so deadlocked, although the prosecution has a lot of problems such as cars, but Chulbanov seems to have been prepared for a long time, and the evidence in the hands of the prosecution is simply not enough to send Chulbanov to prison. This put them under a lot of pressure from above, knowing that the case was registered with Ligachev.

……

While Chulbanov was stumbling in prison, his wife Galina was trying her best to get Chulbanov out of the hands of the prosecution. After all, it would not be a glorious thing if Brezhnev's son-in-law was really sent to prison, and Galina knew in her heart that her affairs were much more serious than that of Chubanov, and in the original jewelry and diamond smuggling case, her mistress strangely hanged herself in prison, and her uncle-in-law shot himself in the woods. What is behind these things, Galina knows clearly.

Galina was afraid that Chulbanov's affairs would implicate the Brezhnev family, so Chulbanov had to fish it out. But Galina has all the relationships, and the procuratorate just doesn't give this face. It wasn't until Tikhonov, a subordinate of her father's former life, tactfully reminded Galina that she understood that this incident was not for the Brezhnev family.

"Galina, this incident is Ligachev taking the opportunity to knock on the mountain and tell those disobedient ministerial-level cadres to listen to the words of the Central Committee! You don't want to mix it up anymore! Tikhonov said bluntly to Galina on the phone.

"Uncle, what should I do now? Will Chulbanov be able to come back? Galina asked in fear.

"Galina, my dear niece, Chulbanov and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation are too deeply involved, let Ligachev and Ulyanov fight in this matter! As long as you don't get involved, the Brezhnev family will not be involved...... "Tikhonov advised.

"Okay uncle, I know what to do!" Speaking of which, Galina is no longer worthy of being Brezhnev's daughter if she can't hear it. After she put down her words, without saying a word, she took out her marriage certificate with Chulbanov from the drawer, and then drove straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and when she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she revealed her identity and said to the staff who asked her what business she handled: "I, Galina Brezhneva, want to dissolve the relationship with Comrade Chulbanov. ”
