469. Chapter 21 (1) Unexpected Visitor
Lying on the cold bed of the inn, Kosheleva spent the most difficult night of her life, it was the first night she spent alone after escaping from the base, sadness and fear enveloped Kosheleva's heart, and she fell into extreme pain all night, as soon as she closed her eyes, Kosheleva would see Novakovich's tragic body and the once kind and gentle face, in this muddy and nightmarish torment, Kosheleva finally looked forward to the glimmer of dawn in the sky.
In a trance, Kosheleva heard a knock on the door, she sat on the bed and did not move, feeling that she had auditory hallucinations, but after being stunned for a while, the knock sounded again, this time Kosheleva did not hear correctly, she got up from the bed with difficulty, slowly walked to the door, through the door mirror, Kosheleva saw a young, Peugeot oriental face, this delicate face she seemed to have seen last night, Kosheleva gently opened the door.
Xiao Yan smiled and stood in front of Kosheleva, carrying a box of hot noodle soup specially made by the chef of the consulate this morning, but Xiao Yan's smiling face could not hide the shock in her heart, the woman in front of her had messy hair, bloodshot eyes, sunken cheeks, and a face without any luster was full of blue-gray, just one day, this woman seemed to be dozens of years old.
After hearing Xiaoyan's self-introduction, Kosheleva recalled the shallow memory of this young girl in her heart from last night, and then what Kosheleva wanted to do was to cry bitterly on this girl she was not familiar with.
It took a long time for Xiao Yan to temporarily calm Kosheleva's heart-wrenching grief, Xiao Yan persuaded while letting Kosheleva eat something, maybe it was extremely painful, maybe it was extremely tired, plus there was a sense of security brought to her by someone around her, not long after Kosheleva ate, she leaned down on the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing that Kosheleva had fallen asleep, Xiaoyan gently closed the door and left here to go downstairs.
"Sister Qing, I found Kova, her state is not very stable, and now she has just fallen asleep, am I here all the time?"
Coming downstairs to the hotel, sitting in the car parked in the hotel parking lot, Xiaoyan dialed Liang Qing's phone.
At this time, it was already noon, and the number of people coming and going in the hotel gradually increased, and at this time, Xiaoyan had time to carefully observe the approximate size and situation of the hotel.
The inn is not very tall, only seven storeys, but it occupies a large area, the entire 'L' shape of the hotel, almost a third of the entire street, once a conference center, is now almost reduced to a refugee shelter, and the expatriates who have fled the war from all over the country have used it as a temporary transit point, waiting in line to evacuate this troubled place.
"You better wait there first, I mean wait for Kova to wake up and see if you can suggest that she change to another hotel, but don't check out here, don't use the name Kosheleva when you check in to another hotel, so that you can hide people's eyes, I'm here now, I heard Yifan say that she saw Rebecca in the restaurant just now, maybe Rebecca hasn't been able to find Kosheleva's specific whereabouts yet, so that your side will be relatively safe and relaxed, I'm helping Yifan pack her things now, I'll take her to the airport later, you can call me again if there's anything. ”
It could be heard that Liang Qing was busy talking to herself at the same time, Xiao Yan was a little puzzled after hearing this, she asked:
"Sister Qing, I didn't understand, you mean to send Yifan to the airport? Is she leaving? ”
"Yes, I asked her to go back first, there is going to be chaos here, she is not safe here, Yifan is not much point here now, anyway, it is convenient for her to come over there, let her come over when she needs to, it doesn't make much sense to stay here now, it is a waste of precious resources."
When Liang Qing said this, Yifan stood aside with his eyebrows and stared at his hands on his waist, and expressed his dissatisfaction and indignation at Liang Qing's words with an angry face, Liang Qing couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and gently patted his good sister's cheek with his hand to appease, and he could be so open-mouthed in front of his beloved relatives, just because they were relatives.
After talking to Liang Qing, Xiao Yan stayed in the car and didn't move, she wanted to let Kova rest for a while as much as possible, seeing that the sun was turning westward in the afternoon, Xiao Yan was ready to go upstairs to persuade Kosheleva to change another hotel, just opened the car door and before she walked outside the car, a familiar figure appeared in Xiao Yan's field of vision, and in a blink of an eye, this figure walked into the door of the hotel, and it was Rebecca.
Rebecca only felt that Rebecca would be brought back to this area by the Chinese rescue team, because in the entire territory of Covo, only this area is still temporarily stable, many foreign institutions and embassies and consulates and United Nations observation teams are concentrated in this area, and this is also the only international airport in Covo, and the diplomacy and staff of various countries will frequently enter and exit through this port, under the stern warning and pressure of various countries, the two sides of the conflict did not dare to extend the war to this point.
Seeing Rebecca walk into the hotel, Xiao Yan retreated into the car, Xiao Yan was very clear about the purpose of Rebecca's trip, but fortunately, she had already communicated with Kosheleva in the morning, and Kosheleva also knew the stakes, so Xiao Yan was not worried about Rebecca being able to get something substantial out of Kosheleva's mouth.
There are only one or two places in the Kovo area that can accept these refugees, and it is not surprising that Rebecca found this place, and using the same method as Xiaoyan, Rebecca also found Kosheleva's room number by bribing the receptionist at the front desk.
Before Rebecca could knock on the door, she heard a knock on the door, and Kosheleva, who was about to come out of the door, was face-to-face with Rebecca.
The moment she saw Kosheleva open the door was really unexpected by Rebecca, she couldn't imagine what kind of blow the woman in front of her had to endure to make her look like this in one day, but now that she came, Rebecca could only continue with her stubbornness.
"Excuse me, you are Ms. Kosheleva, I had a brief interview with you on the road the night before yesterday, do you remember? I'm really sorry, I have some questions that I need to check with you now, so I can only take the liberty of bothering me. ”
Rebecca said it tactfully, but she still said what she was here for.
Hearing this, Kosheleva carefully examined Rebecca in front of her, as if to determine whether she had seen this person in her memory, and after a long while, Kosheleva reluctantly said:
"I'm sorry, it seems that there is such a thing, but I'm not sure that the person at that time was you, in addition, you see my current state, it's not suitable for your interview, and I don't want to mention the past experience, at least I want to stay alone for a few days, maybe we can contact again in a few days, I'm sorry, let you run for nothing today."
Kosheleva did recognize Rebecca in front of her, but she didn't want to be interviewed by these people even without Xiaoyan's advice, Kosheleva was telling the truth, she was not mentally prepared to look back on the nightmarish past experience that happened that day and night, she didn't have the courage now.
Seeing that Kosheleva was about to close the door and refuse customers, Rebecca quickly stretched out her hand to stop her:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kosheleva, I know it's rude for me to do this, but the public needs to know the truth, I can not make audio recordings, not video recordings, not give out your personal identity and other relevant information, I just want to confirm one question to you, is it true that there are so many reports on the TV news about the tragedy at the base? I'd like to get confirmation from you, so that I can further restore the true nature of the incident. ”
Rebecca's words once again touched the pain in Kosheleva's heart, and Kosheleva, who was holding the door in her hand, began to tremble:
"I can tell you that the base tragedy is real, but if you believe what is said on the TV news, then the victims who were shot in the base, those innocent, good people, will die blindly, and God will not tolerate this crime, I'm sorry."
Kosheleva's last words were uttered with tears, her already dry eyes filled with tears again, and after saying "I'm sorry", Kosheleva 'bumped' and slammed the door shut.
Rebecca understood the meaning of Kosheleva's words, and after seeing Kosheleva's last painful expression, Rebecca fell into a deep remorse, and she whispered through the door:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kosheleva, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, this is my business card, I still have a little relationship here, if you need any help, please contact me, please accept and believe in my sincerity, thank you, goodbye."
Rebecca passed her business card through the crack at the bottom of the door, she was a little ashamed of her actions, but she couldn't think of a better way to crack it, and in the end, Rebecca could only sigh at the closed door, and then walked away.
Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the car, saw Rebecca walking out with her head down, and she could see that Rebecca's mood was very heavy, but from the point of view of time, in the past ten minutes, Rebecca could not ask anything famous, looking at the other party's depressed look, it should have hit a nail in Kosheleva, although Xiao Yan said that he did not dislike Rebecca's TV talk show, but he was very disgusted with Rebecca's way of pursuing the incident regardless of the psychological feelings of the parties.
A car stopped near the entrance of the hotel, and three men stepped out of the car.
