Nastasia did not return overnight.

Igor stayed up all night.

Before I knew it, it was dawn, and the ashtray at the head of the bed was already full of cigarette butts. Igor fumbled around for empty cigarette cases, staggered out of bed, opened a kitchen cabinet in the room, and took out two packs of cigarettes.

In this place, as long as it does not affect work, tobacco and alcohol are enough.

In the curling smoke, Igor continued to decadent.

Suddenly, the sound of the key opening the door came from the door, and Igor got out of bed with a few steps and walked out of the room. When the door opened, a familiar figure flashed in.

Igor no longer cared about what Nastasia was holding in his hand, and pulled her over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Dear ......," the whimpering female voice looked haggard and frightened.

"Dear ......" the choked male voice was both excited and remorseful.

After a long embrace, Nastasia gently pushed Igor away, then handed him a brown paper bag.

"It's ......," Igor couldn't believe it.

"The drawings you want!"

After that, Nastasia went straight to the table, picked up the glass kettle and glass, and filled herself with two glasses of water in a row.

Igor couldn't wait to open the paper bag, which was indeed a complete set of aircraft design drawings, and after roughly looking at the line drawings and data indicators, he stuffed the drawings back into the brown paper bag, and then carefully hid it in the cabinet.

After drinking the water, Nastasia stood still and watched Igor's movements, and it wasn't until Igor walked up to her again that her tears couldn't help but flow down.

Igor had to take her back into his arms, followed by a long kiss.

The salty taste made Igor swear in his heart that he could not live up to this woman who was desperate to risk it for himself. He quickly remembered the contact information he had been given to him by Russian intelligence, and that was the only way he could escape when Symenov and Rybedev were not around. Having made up his mind, he said to Nastasia:

"Listen to me, my dear! You take their drawings, and sooner or later they're going to find out. So we have to get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Nastasia raised her head and stared into his eyes for a moment before nodding, "Alright then! My dear, I will follow you wherever you go! ”

"Well, we're not separated anywhere!" Igor was thoroughly moved this time.

Nastasia wiped tears from her face with her hands, "What are we going to do next?" Today, the visiting group of the Japanese Imperial Family is back here, so most of the technicians will not stay in the office. They shouldn't find out until tomorrow that the information is missing, and we still have a day! ”

"First of all, we're going to get out of here!" With that, Igor took Nastasia by the hand and walked into his room, took out a leather bag from under the bed, opened the cabinet facing the bed, and began to stuff cash, checks, documents and other things into the purse, and when he was halfway through the packing, he suddenly stopped, and then turned his head to look at Nastasia, "You go and pack your things, bring the most important things such as documents." As for clothes, don't bring anything with you! ”

Nastasia thought for a moment. "Well, I'll be back soon!"

After Nastasia left, Igor quickly put the things he had to bring into his purse. And, of course, the all-important kraft paper bag. Finally, he sat down on the bed, took a cigarette from his cigarette case, lit it, and stuffed the two boxes of cigarettes that were placed outside into his jacket pocket.

About 20 minutes later, Nastasia returned with a lady's purse.

"Okay?" Igor asked.

"Well, but how do we get out of here? Escape is definitely not escaped! Nastasia said worriedly.

Igor had just thought about this question, "Let's go to Dr. Matthias and say we're going to the city to buy something!" ”

Nastasia sat down next to him and asked, "But what to buy?" The supply department here has daily necessities! ”

"Uh......" Igor narrowed his eyes. Shopping for clothes? Buying a house? No, no, no, it's better to buy ......"

"Buy a ring!" Nastasia suddenly clapped her hands and said, "We're engaged, so go buy rings, and necklaces and other jewelry!" ”

"That's right! Buy engagement land jewelry! Igor was very excited, although he had only been here for 3 months, he was already a small millionaire, and it was not a problem to buy some jewelry.

"Alright, let's go!" Nastasia looks like she can't wait to elope with Igor.

Half an hour later. The two were already seated in front of Dr. Matthias, the vice president of the design institute. Normally, the director of the design institute, Dr. Junkers, is only responsible for technical matters, while the executive vice president is responsible for day-to-day tasks such as personnel arrangements.

"Engaged? Oh, Mr. Niklov, and Miss Nastasia, congratulations! Before Nastasia could finish his explanation, Matthias happily grabbed Igor's right hand and congratulated him repeatedly.

Igor, who was still a little nervous, hurriedly smiled shyly.

When Matthias sat back in his chair, Nastasia said:

"Doctor, you see, we still lack a pair of rings and some jewelry, and today is a holiday, can you approve us to go to the city......"

"Oh, that's it......" Matthias put away the bright smile he had just had, although the design institute provided extremely generous salaries and benefits to foreign experts like Igor, but there was one thing, they could not leave the design institute at will, which was not only for the sake of confidentiality, but also for the safety of these experts. After all, governments all over the world know that the role of an excellent person is even greater than that of an army, so finding ways to recruit personnel for themselves and sabotage the enemy's technical experts has long become an important part of intelligence warfare.

"Doctor, you see, it's hard to have such a vacation," Nastasya said, holding Igor's arm, and looked at Matthias expectantly.

"But you know our rules......" Matthias looked embarrassed.

"Doctor, we'll be there for a few hours, and we'll be back before dinner, okay?" Please......" Nastasya pleaded.

Matthias looked at Nastasia and then at Igor, and agreed to their request. While writing a note for the two of them to go out, he advised: "I will send a car to take you to the city, but you must not walk around, let alone leave the sight of the driver and bodyguards!" Don't rush back for dinner, you can go to the Royal Hotel or the Grand Hotel Berlin for a romantic candlelit dinner! ”

"Oh. Doctor, you're wonderful! Nastasia was moved.

Before handing the slip to Nastasia, Matthias reminded, "This is the only time, not the next one!" ”

After a few more thanks, Nastasya pulled Igor out of the doctor's room with him in a hurry.

Looking at their departing backs, Dr. Matthias smiled smugly.

Soon, a Gigi car carrying the couple left the Gigi Airlines factory. On the way to the city, they also encountered a luxurious convoy. Just look at the small flags in front of those cars and you can see that the Japanese delegation is coming, but it's a pity that they won't have much to gain here.

"What do I do when I get to the city?" Nastasya happily snuggled up in Igor's arms.

"Is it safe to talk here?" Igor asked in a whisper.

"Of course, they don't know Russian, don't believe it!" After that, Nastasia said in Russian to the driver and bodyguard in front of her: "Hey, man, did you have breakfast today?" ”

The skinny driver and able-bodied bodyguard just glanced behind them through the mirror and said nothing.

Nastasia said, "Are your mothers alive?" ”

The two people in front of them are still the same, just looking at them and not answering.

"Mr. Driver. How long will it take us to get to the city? "This time Nastasia speaks German. The driver then replied, "About 30 minutes!" ”

Nastasia smiled at Igor, "Believe it! ”

Igor reassured Nastasia, "Well, we have to go to a place called Langan's Cafe to find a Mr. Pascal." Then he will find a way to get us out of Königsberg! ”

"Langan Cafe?" Nastasia thought for a while, but she couldn't remember such a café, but it's no wonder that the number of cafes and bars in a big city like Königsberg, with a population of hundreds of thousands, is staggering.

"Yes, I remember it was on Bismarckstrasse and-" ", Igor thought diligently for a moment, "it should be Bismarck Strasse and Freringers ......"

"Freingersdorfstrasse?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It is located in a small alley on the corner of Bismarckstrasse and Freingersdorfstrasse, and it is said to be a humble little café! After recalling this, Igor was relieved.

"And how are we going to get in touch with that Mr. Pascal?" Nastasia asked closely.

"Uh...... Let me think! Igor must admit that he is a good at aircraft design, but he is very bad at remembering such boring and awkward things. It's a while. Only then did he utter the joint code words in full:

"I would like to say first to that Mr. Pascal that I am a distant cousin of his Russian cousin, and that I have come to him because I am desperate! Then he would ask me what I wanted to do, and I would say that I just wanted to make some money and go home and build a palace that could fly! That way, he'll know who I am! ”

"Oh......" Nastasya's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness.

Igor apparently didn't know what was about to happen yet, and he said to Nastasia: "Honey, let's go straight to Langan Cafe now!" ”

Nastasia shook her head, "No, we can't go yet!" You forgot. We're going out to buy jewelry this time, and if we go for coffee first, we'll definitely arouse the suspicion of these two guys! So, let's go to William's Jewellery on Bismarckstraße, pick up our jewellery and then have lunch at the Laute Hotel, after which we can go for coffee, you say? ”

"Well, you have a point! That's it, my dear! Igor breathed a sigh of relief, and then leaned his whole back back on the soft seat, which made him feel sleepy after a night of sleep, and before he knew it, he was actually asleep.

Nastasia patted the driver on the shoulder, "I'll go to William's Jewelry Store on Bismarck's Strasse first!" ”

When Igor woke up, Nastasia was still sitting next to him.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Igor rubbed his eyes.

Nastasia looked at him with a smile on her face, "yes, dear, I didn't wake you up when you slept too soundly, it's already 11 a.m.!" ”

"Huh? I slept for over two hours! Igor looked around a little bewildered, and the car was parked on the side of Bismarck's Strasse, the busiest city of Königsberg, next to the famous Wilhelm jewellery store.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time!" Nastasia said with a smile. "Let's go inside!"

Igor followed Nastasia into William's jewelry store with his head not fully awake, and although he was in a hurry, Nastasya still picked left and right, and it took half an hour to pick a pair of diamond rings and a beautiful necklace.

"That's a total of 780 Euromarks!" When receiving the payment, the smile of the counter lady is as bright as a flower.

Igor handed Nastathea the bulging purse, and she took out 8 four-mark bills from it, and said in a dashing voice, "No need to look for it!" ”

After that, the two went to the Lauteng Hotel, not far from William's Jewelry Company. It was a medium-sized Western-style hotel with a very chic décor. Because they didn't have breakfast, the two asked for a bunch of food, and it took nearly an hour to wipe out most of them.

"Do you need to bring them something to eat?" Igor pointed to the car outside, where the driver and bodyguard were still waiting.

Nastasia smiled and said, "As long as you're happy!" ”

At this time, the mood of the two was completely immersed in the joy of preparing the engagement gift, and if it were not for the fact that he remembered that he was on the run, Igor would almost completely integrate into this happy character.

At 1:03 p.m., Igor finally walked into the Langan Cafe with Nastasia in his arms. The bodyguard wanted to follow, but Nastasya politely refused.

After entering the café, the two walked straight to the service desk. Igor whispered to the waiters inside, "Find Mr. Pascal!" ”

The young waiter stared at Igor for several seconds. Nodding his head, he whispered in Russian: "Please come with me!" ”

Igor and Nastasya followed the waiter through a door, first through a dimly lit and narrow hallway. Then I went up a wooden staircase, and finally came to a wooden doorway that was badly painted. The waiter knocked on the door, and when a "come in" came from inside, he twisted the door to let Igor and Nastasia in, and closed the door himself and left.

It was a room that smelled of smoke, small in size, messily arranged with a few chairs, and by the window was a rectangular desk, behind which sat a man, for the window was drawn with thick curtains. Therefore, it is not possible to see the person's face at all.

Igor said worriedly: "Sir, I am your distant cousin in Russia, and I have come to you because I am desperate!" ”

The man replied, "Oh, what do you want to do?" ”

Igor added: "I just want to make some money and go home and build a palace that can fly!" ”

"You're Mr. Igor!" The man still sat still, "Tell me, have you done your job?" ”

Igor hurriedly took out the brown paper bag from his bag, "Yes, yes! I have got the drawings, now please arrange for me and this young lady to return to Russia as soon as possible! ”

"Let me see!" The man held out his hand.

Igor respectfully handed him the paper bag.

The man struck a match and lit the candle in the corner of the table. Only then did he take out the drawings from the brown paper bag and look at them carefully by the light of the candle.

It was then that Igor saw the man's face, a face that was neither young nor old, but the beard was very clean. It took about ten minutes for the man to put the drawings back into a brown paper bag.

"Thank you, Mr. Igor, for everything you have done for Russia! Rest assured, we will send this information back to China as soon as possible! ”

"That'...... What about us? Igor asked in surprise.

"You guys?" The man said nonchalantly, "I didn't get any other instructions from my boss, my job was just to send the materials away!" If you can get your hands on the information in the future, just send it here! ”

"What?" Igor glared at the guy with some anger, "How can we go back now?" We're about to be picked up by the Germans! No, we have to leave Germany immediately, go back to Russia, take refuge in other countries first! ”

The man was still so slow, "Sir, I just said that! I have no obligation, no power, and no ability to send you away! ”

Igor was also on fire now, "You bastards! Before you came to Germany, you talked about everything! What do you say about sending me back to Russia as soon as you get the information, and then giving me a bonus, a knighthood, and the post of chief designer, and now? Swindler! A bunch of liars! ”

"Say whatever you want!" The man was not angry, "but I must warn you that you had better get out of here now, lest the Germans become suspicious!" If you need anything else, just come here to me! ”

"Shameless! Bastard! Swindler! Fraud! Igor scolded angrily.

The man sneered, "Mr. Igor, you don't need to be so excited! I'll tell you the truth, we've sent several spies like you, but we never planned to rescue you back to Russia! You have to collect as much confidential information as you can about the Germans, and make sure that your relatives have bread to eat and water to drink, you know? ”

"You ......" Igorton felt the world spin, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Nastasya stood next to him and helped him.

"Please, Mr. Igor! Remember, a piece of information can only be exchanged for their food for half a year, otherwise...... Hum! The man's last two cold snorts made Igor completely desperate.

The poor expert in aircraft design would never have imagined that while he was sleeping in the car, picking up jewelry at the jewelry store, and having lunch in the restaurant, the German intelligence officers had already served the place, and the thick curtains of this room blocked the light, and it was impossible to see the mottled bullet marks on the surrounding walls, and of course, the thick smell of smoke also hid the smell of blood left by the killing, and as for the "connector", it was actually just a German intelligence officer who could speak Russian.

With Nastasia's "well-intentioned persuasion", Igor decided to work for the Germans, who were happy to accept such a very good designer. Soon after, Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky officially became the chief designer of the bomber design department of Gigi Aviation, and worked with famous designers such as the German Claude Dornier, the Frenchman Charles Breguet, and the American Wells Douglas to focus on the development of heavy long-range bombers and military transport aircraft. In addition, Igor Sikorski and Charles Breguet discovered their common interest in helicopters, and began to explore and design practical helicopters in their spare time.
