Chapter 23: A Little Gift

Volga Street, in an area near the river, was fenced off by the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Outside the cordon www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion was full of curious onlookers, discussing something from time to time. The pavement of the street was littered with bullet casings, broken glass, and large patches of blood. There are several speedboats of the Marine Police moored in the river, and divers occasionally jump into the river to search.

Chernenko, deputy director of the District Affairs Bureau of the Gorky City Automobile Plant, looked at his busy subordinates with a blank expression, and he still couldn't believe that Popov, a big brother who was calling for wind and rain in Gorky City, had been killed in this land for two generations. Accompanying him on his trip to Huangquan was his local network. Chernenko was sent to Gorky City for this network, and now with the disappearance of the target, Chernenko's clues will also be cut off, and he may be abandoned here by the KGB's top brass and forgotten here, which is not the result Chernenko wants.

The bulldozer was also found, and it was abandoned on the side of the road and burned to the ground, judging from the machine number, it should have been left here by the construction unit that built the bridge across the river a few years ago, and it should have broken down at that time, so it was abandoned on the mound by the river. As a result, it was discovered by the suspect and used to carry out today's bloody crime. It is almost impossible to find the murderer, not to mention the tradition of gangsters not cooperating with the police. Even those who had the motive to kill Popov could fill the Volga streets. The bulldozer was a Soviet product, durable, easy to maintain and repair, and it was not difficult to get it started, and now the only clue was that the murderer would operate the machine.

Just when Chernenko was still worried about tracking down the murderer, Seryosha was looking through an address book, which recorded many local officials in detail, which Seryosha found from the bulldozer when he burned the bulldozer, this should be Popov's thing, probably Popov's car fell into it when it was lifted, Seryosha didn't think about it, and easily brought back this address book, the positions and preferences of some people recorded on it, and some other information made Seryosha vaguely feel that this thing would be useful in the future, so he locked this address book in the safe along with some important things.

After lunch, Seryosha and Daddy Petrov went to visit Boris in the hospital, Boris recovered well, Seryosha handed the flowers in his hand to Boris's mother, leaned down and said in Boris's ear: "Recuperate in peace!" I wish you a speedy recovery Boris. "Boris would have wanted to ask about Nikita and Pokryshkin, as well as about the killing of Popov. But Seryosha did not say, and Boris was embarrassed to ask. But Boris couldn't think of anyone other than Seryosha who would challenge Popov. In addition to being shocked, Boris's heart was filled with respect and gratitude for Seryosha, which is no longer something that can be repaid with a simple word of thanks.

In the hallway, Father Petrov was chatting happily with Boris's mother, while Seryosha opened a bottle of canned fruit and handed it to Boris. Boris enjoyed canned food while chatting with Seryosha.

"Our business is back open, and now Yuri is doing your old job. Recently, there has been a shortage of Popov as a source of goods, and many small traders will come to Yuri to get the goods, and the business is so good, but now the headache is the problem of the supply. Mikhail can no longer meet the huge demand of the market. By the way, I'll keep your share for you first, and I'll return it to you when you're discharged from the hospital. Seryosha lowered his voice and said about business.

"Boss, I think we should recruit more people, otherwise if we encounter a powerful force like Popov again, I'm afraid we will still be passive." Boris suggested.

"What you said makes sense, I agree to recruit new people, but only peripheral personnel, and only from the Gorky factory, we know each other well, I don't want anyone to enter our circle for the time being. We have too many secrets to be known. Seryosha reminded.

"By the way, boss, what are the arrangements for the evening, can you take me out for a walk?" Boris pleaded.

"I'm sorry, Boris, I made an appointment with Tonya in the evening, I'm afraid I can't take you out for a drink or two." Seryosha smug his face rejected Boris.

"Ahh When did you guys get so good, you could actually ask Tonya out, you guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends! Boris pretended to complain

In an acclaimed restaurant near Nizhny Novgorod State University, Seryosha and Tonya sit facing each other, enjoying wine and food together. Today, Tonya is dressed beautifully, and she has changed the image of being scared in the hospital that day.

"By the way, I've already sold those things you bought last time, and the price is good, which should be enough for you to pay off the rest of the debt." After Seryosha finished speaking, he handed Tonya a handbag full of banknotes bundled together. Ever since he was misunderstood by Tonya, he has been paying for Tonya in cash.

Tonya was a little embarrassed, she took a sip of wine, but her eyes were fixed on Seryosha with a wicked smile. "I didn't expect you to remember the last deposit slip!" Tonya grumbled.

Seryosha smiled embarrassedly, even though he liked Tonya very much, but he only hid it in his heart. Tonya is like a princess in distress, and she is still a fugitive, a person who runs a gray business, and may one day be thrown back into prison by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the KGB. These two people should not be together.

"This is for you, as a little gift for you to help me pay off my debts!" The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Tonya took out a delicate box and handed it to Seryosha with a delicate bow on it.

Unlike the Chinese, it is polite for Westerners to open gifts in person. Seryosha opened the box under the expectant gaze of Tonya, and a beautiful Rolex watch lay quietly in the box.

"It's just too precious. I... Seryosha was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tonya.

"Don't refuse the kindness of the lady, your help to me is far more than this little thing can repay." Tonya took Seryosha's hand and said sincerely.

After dinner, Seryosha sent Tonya home, the distance was very close, and it would be a while. The road was a little dull, Seryosha was a little sad, I am afraid that after Tonya pays off her debts, she will not have anything to do with people like him. Tonya also seems to have something on her mind, and she hasn't said a few words along the way.

The car slowly stopped downstairs at Tonya's house, and the two sat in the car and looked at each other and smiled.

"Do you want to go up and sit down?" Tonya suddenly said.

Seryosha nodded, the two got out of the car, Seryosha followed Tonya to her door, this was Seryosha's first time to Tonya's house, he felt very excited and a little nervous.

Tonya opened the door with the key, and Seryosha entered the room and closed the door with his hand. Suddenly Tonya turned around and threw herself into Seryosha's arms, Seryosha was pressed to the door, and Tonya's rosy lips were tightly imprinted on Seryosha's lips...
