A few days later, Manturov boarded a train to Tomsk, ready to "go deep into the tiger's den" and test the details of Dubov and others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, instead of Katya, he took Anna and Yakov with him, and with him on the same train, Maria and his father, Boris Suyev.

Since Andropov was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and served as deputy head of the Novosibirsk City Bureau, Katya's workload has increased dramatically. Although Andropov is still the first secretary and goes back to work from time to time, most of the work has been handed over to Katya.

Anna is Manturov's secretary, and this time it is a work inspection, so of course she has to follow Secretary Man. Yakov was appointed as the head of the city bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The two of them kept looking at each other on the train, teasing each other, and had physical contact from time to time, which was very ambiguous. And what about Manturov? I regained the posture of an otaku again, sitting by the window by myself and looking at the scenery, or reading a book.

Except for the train attendant who would ask him what he drank and what he ate, no one had ever said anything to him, and he seemed lonely.

But Manturov, who has lived as an otaku for more than twenty years, has become accustomed to such a life. He wanted to be alone and quiet, and he didn't want to be disturbed too much.

After a 6-hour drive, they arrived in Tomsk.

At that time, Tomsk was part of the Novosibirsk region and was the second largest city in the region, with a population of 140,000.

During the period of Tsarist Russia, Tomsk was the most important military defense center in the eastern part of the Russian Empire, blocking the attacks of the eastern nomads and stabilizing the borders of Tsarist Russia.

Later, as the Russian border moved eastward and the nomads were subdued by the Russians, Tomsk lost its original military defense status and became a place of exile.

Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian thinker and revolutionary known as the "godfather of modern anarchism", was also exiled to Tomsk.

By Soviet times, Tomsk became an industrial city. After World War II, culture and education also developed, and gradually became an important cultural center and educational center in Siberia.

At the Tomsk railway station, Dubov and other local officials were already lined up to greet Manturov, waiting for Manturov's arrival.

As the train stopped and the carriage doors opened, the local officials began to break out in a nervous sweat. They had all heard the rumors that Manturov had deliberately put out before, and in their conjecture, Manturov was a serious, cold, and unsatisfying person.

Even big men like Ekh and Yezhov were defeated at the hands of Manturov. Not a single one in the room was not in awe of Manturov.

They stared at the exit of the platform, waiting for a cold, serious big man with a large entourage to appear in their sight.

Soon after, a group of people came out of the platform exit, not Manturov's entourage, just a bunch of ordinary passengers.

This train is not chartered, it is a normal train. Manturov and his entourage just bought ordinary train tickets, rode in ordinary carriages, and mingled with other passengers, and no one knew the identities of these young men.

As soon as those passengers walked out of the train station and saw such a big pomp and circumstance as Dubov and others, they were all amazed. Even the famous first secretary of the municipal party committee has come out, and there must be some big shots.

"Isn't this Dubov, the first secretary of the city party committee? How did he end up here? Did he know we were coming? Suyev, who was in the crowd, said to Maria.

Maria saw Dubov and the others smiling, standing up straight with trembling, as if waiting for some big man. Look at the tall and thin man in front of him, wearing an English suit and metal-framed eyes, and soon find the answer. "Dad, I don't think they're waiting for us."

"And who are they waiting for?"

"Comrade Manturov."

"Comrade Manturov? Is he coming too? Suyev asked suspiciously.

"He's right in front of me."

Manturov, who had a keen sense of hearing, immediately turned around and saw two familiar figures as soon as he heard his name called. "Comrade Suev, why are you here? Now you are not unaware of the situation in Tomsk. ”

"My wife was just released from the Tomsk battalion, and we came to pick her up."

Manturov pointed to Yakov beside him and said to Suev: "Well, if you need any help, you can find him." His name was Yakov Yakovich Yakov, the new head of the Tomsk City of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a good friend of mine, and a key figure in the defeat of Ekh. ”

"Comrade Yakov, I have already heard of your name. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”

Before Yakov could speak, Manturov couldn't wait to say: "Comrade Suyev, this nonsense will be talked about later. Yakovich, help me escort the two of them out and keep them out of Dubov's line of sight. ”

"Yes!"

Manturov turned around, and as if nothing had happened, he continued walking. Together with Anna, with a smile, he walked up to Dubov.

"Is it Comrade Dubov?" Manturov asked.

Seeing Manturov's young, simple-looking and kind face, Dubov asked, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Viladimo Fedorovich Manturov."

"Are you really Comrade Manturov?"

"It's really me, why are you lying to you?"

A cadre behind Dubov who had seen Manturov also added: "Comrade Dubov, this is really Comrade Manturov, I have seen him before. ”

Dubov hurriedly pretended to smile and said: "I'm sorry, Comrade Manturov, there are too many people here, I'm afraid that someone will assume your identity." ”

Manturov is a person who always likes to find a place to praise others in exchange for the favor of the other party, or to achieve the effect of killing. "Yes, it's a sign of care and it should be commended."

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"Very well, I hope you can continue to carry it forward." Ironically, Manturov had come to purge Dubov and would not give him any chance to carry it forward.

"It's noon now, so let's go have lunch before we can continue our trip."

"Okay."
