Just as Voroshilov left the Kremlin in a state of agitation, Leningrad took a completely unexpected turn.

In the afternoon, Sun Hui rode a motorcycle with a bucket to the Kirov factory to check the modification of the "KV-220" tank and the "T-150" tank, but was stopped by a little boy on a street in front of the factory.

Sun Hui looked at this very thin middle school student in a fat yellow-brown coat standing stupidly next to the telephone booth, and felt a little strange, he thought that there should be a group of people watching the suicide by jumping off the building, but he soon understood that in Leningrad now, because of hunger and weakness, it is impossible for people to watch the formation like the Chinese people in later generations.

It has been more than two months since they entered the city of Leningrad, and because Sun Hui and the girls are "Heroes of the Soviet Union" and often carry out the most dangerous combat missions, their food supply is basically sufficient, plus the large box of food that Sun Hui brought with him when he entered the city, he is basically not very hungry, but ordinary Leningrad citizens do not have such treatment as him.

In today's Leningrad, there are people who can't stand starvation and commit suicide, and people are accustomed to it, but generally they hang themselves to death, and almost none of them commit suicide by jumping off buildings.

Sun Hui got off the motorcycle, and the little boy looked a little nervous.

"What you saw with your own eyes?" Sun Hui decided to investigate first, he had already heard from the "GRU" people that there were actually many saboteurs in the city who had been bribed by the Germans, and that they might take action against them and the factory's new tanks.

“…… That's right, uncle. ”

"Where?"

The boy stared blankly at Sun Hui for a moment, then turned around and pointed at a lonely building far, far to the north.

"Jumping off the roof?"

"Yes, from the rooftop."

The boy got into his motorcycle, and they drove north to the tall building to which the boy was pointing, which was once an office building of the factory, and now a ruined building in a barren land that had been battered by German artillery fire.

When they came to the building, the only old janitor happened to be absent, and the building was surrounded by a wall more than a foot high.

The big lock on the iron door was already rusty, but Sun Hui's eyes were sharp and he found that the small door next to it was not locked. He walked over and pushed, and the door opened. As a soldier with special contributions, Sun Hui didn't need to ask anyone if he could enter, and the little boy followed him and walked in.

Sun Hui suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked the child's name yet, so he asked the boy, and the boy said that his name was Daniel, and he was a second-year student at Rieahwitz Middle School. Danielle looked like an honest boy no matter how he looked, did he really see someone jumping down? Sun Hui thought that it was better to let the child wait for him outside the door, in case he saw that kind of scene, the child might be frightened, and he thought about where there were so many problems, and in the wartime, there was nothing wrong with boys being more knowledgeable.

"Did you jump off this side?"

"No, it's from the other side over there, he's wearing ...... I seem to be wearing ...... Raincoat. ”

"You see it so clearly?"

"This ...... I can't tell what he's wearing. ”

"Are you sure he jumped from the top of the building and not somewhere else?"

"Yes, he jumped from the roof, you can't be wrong."

Sun Hui still has a big question in his heart, this building has a total of 10 floors, the stairs leading to the top floor of this building have not been built, and the temporary elevator for construction was removed when the workers evacuated, so they couldn't reach the top floor, so they could only walk up to 5 floors, of course, he could jump up, but he didn't want to show his difference in front of the little boy. But he took the child around and kept an eye out for the grass to see where a swarm of flies would gather.

"Smack!" With a bang, Sun Hui stepped on an old helmet covered with rust, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty floors, and several birds flew out in horror from the unknown floors and disappeared.

"Look, Daniel, there's no corpse here, we've come full circle."

"I did see a figure jumping down from above, wearing a black raincoat."

"Figures? Just now you said that you were a person, how did you become a figure? ”

"Could it have fallen outside the wall?" The little boy asked unrelentingly.

"Don't think about it, let's go! It's no different here than before. ”

"Will it be ......?"

"Totally impossible! There wasn't even a pool of blood on the ground. ”

Danielle was silent, he felt that the black-eyed "policeman" was a little unhappy, so he had to follow Sun Hui and walk towards the door.

At this time, Sun Hui saw an old man standing at the rusty gate, he recognized this person, this old man had always been the gatekeeper of this building.

"Uncle Covyat, you're back? The door was unlocked and I came in by myself, and the kid said he saw someone jumping from the roof of the building, and I came over to investigate. ”

"Comrade Alexander, when I saw your car outside, I guessed that something might be going on. What do you think? Nothing, right? The old man said with a smile.

"It's nothing, maybe the child is wrong, if someone jumps down, there should be at least a pool of blood or something, don't you say? I turned around and didn't find any traces. ”

Danielle glanced at the old man aggrievedly, the little boy did look quite honest.

"It's really impossible to go to the roof, I've never been up before, there are no stairs at all." The old man said according to Sun Hui's meaning.

"Why don't I go up with you and have a look?" He continued.

"Nope! No need, I still have something to do, don't delay, you see I still have to send this child back by the way. He seems to be suffering from malnutrition as well, and I have to give him something to eat. Sun Hui said, took out a few biscuits from his pocket, handed them to Danielle, Daniel took the biscuits, and immediately stuffed them into his mouth with bright eyes.

"Hehe, you are such a good man, Comrade Alexander. Don't really need to look any further? ”

Sun Hui looked around. In fact, you don't need to look at it much, there are only three of them in this deserted and deserted place. He didn't know this old man very well, only that he was a veteran.

"Did you know that people have been missing lately?" The old man said to Sun Hui, "I heard that they are all young girls. ”

"I heard." Sun Hui said, "The murderer has been caught. ”
