Lebezovsky turned his attention to Belinsko, hoping to find a breakthrough in the case.

The most important step in this Belinsko is to find a way to verify what the pocket watch in his hand is, and whether he is lying to himself or not, it is imperative to find out if his watch is the one he is looking for.

And according to Belinsko, he really took out this watch to repair, since this is the case, then the right to believe his words, not to investigate the right and wrong, not to mention, this repair watch will always have a deadline, it is impossible to repair a lifetime, things will always come to light one day, really at that time, Belinsko will always have an explanation.

But, having said that, the old prime minister cannot wait, he does not have time to wait, he must take the initiative and solve all doubts.

Therefore, Lebezovsky ordered all the investigators to focus their attention on Belinsko, to observe his every move, and to pay attention to all the people and things related to him.

Lebezovsky is confident that he will soon find the answer.

And Belinsky himself was also very anxious, he knew that Lebezovsky would definitely keep an eye on him, but the most important thing was that he had promised Lebezovsky that he would personally send the pocket watch to his house for him to see, and if the pocket watch could not be taken out by then, how would he explain to the prime minister that when the time came, he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

However, Belinsko ordered the men to make great efforts to search everywhere, but in the end there was still no whereabouts of the pocket watch, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was probably up to the pawnshop to find a way.

As for the pawnshop, his unruly son had already gone to find it and negotiated with the owner of the pawnshop, but the words were clear. He was dealing with the dead watch, that is, the pawnshop could dispose of the pocket watch in the way he liked, and the worst thing was that after Belinsko's son took the watch, the pawnshop had already disposed of it as quickly as possible. And made a lot of money because of it, and now he still comes to someone to ask for this watch, and it's strange that people care about him.

In this way, there is no hope for the pawnshop.

But if there is no hope in the pawnshop, Belinsko will be in trouble, he can't find the watch, how can he explain to Lebezovsky, won't he have to slap his mouth then, can he tell.

He couldn't help but scold his son again.

And it came to this point. He is also helpless, even if he scolds his son to death, the watch can't be redeemed, what should he do? He thought about it for a while, and felt that he still had to go to the pawnshop to find out the situation, at least to find out who the watch had been sold to, and as long as he knew the party to the transaction, he hoped to use it and find a way to get the watch back. He believes, in his identity. As long as you know the owner of the watch, you can't believe that you can't get it back, and it's a big deal to pay some more price.

So, he found someone to go to the pawnshop.

However, he was disappointed, and the pawnshop refused his request without thinking.

As soon as his person was gone, his status as Minister of Economy was revealed. Hoping to force the pawnshop to say who had redeemed the watch, the pawnshop politely rejected his request, saying only that it was the pawnshop's rule and that they could not reveal the identity of the buyer, otherwise. They lose their credibility and it will be difficult for them to do business in the future.

Although Belinsko is not a good stubble, but when he revealed his identity, the pawnshop still politely refused, which is enough to show that the background of this pawnshop is very unusual, or the identity of the owner behind the purchase of this pocket watch is beyond the ordinary, otherwise, with his current status, how could the pawnshop refuse him in person, isn't this stepping on his face.

As a result, the problem seemed to be getting worse and worse, and Belinsko felt as if he had fallen into a huge vortex, and even he himself could not control his direction.

He's afraid, really a little scared, he's not afraid of it because someone is targeting him, to his current position, he has offended fewer people, he is not afraid of someone targeting him, what he is afraid of is that these people put cold arrows from behind, as the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, he is most afraid of this kind of hidden arrows now, and obviously, now someone is putting this kind of hidden arrows on him.

But what could he do?

Belinsko is a little helpless, if you want to counteract, at least you have to know the relevant people and things, but now he doesn't even know where the target is, how can he think of a way, isn't it a fool's dream.

Of course, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that he has to face Lebezovsky, and the old prime minister is not a person who can be fooled casually, once he can't hand over his pocket watch, he can't imagine the consequences of this.

He had to think hard about how to face Lebezovsky.

He thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, and decided categorically that everything should be handled according to the method he discussed with Gutavov, that is, he gritted his teeth and said that the pocket watch was lost, and as for why it was lost, then tell the truth, it was his unworthy son who took it to the pawnshop, and if the prime minister didn't believe it, he could check it himself.

And as for the problems after that, then let Lebezovsky bother.

When I think of this step, everything suddenly becomes clear, it turns out that the solution to the problem is so simple, and this solution is really good.

And thinking about this, Belinsko, who was still under pressure just now, felt relaxed, and he finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.

At the same time, this made him understand a very simple truth, there is no need to think too much about everything, think too complicated, otherwise, the simple things will become complicated.

And these simple words soon reached Lebezovsky's ears, which Belinsko gave him.

Lebezovsky was also a little surprised, but he did not particularly investigate the truth of what Belinsko said, because, as Belinsky said, it is easy to discern and can be found out at a glance.

However, this alone is not enough to clear Belinsko of the suspicion caused by the pocket watch problem, even if the pocket watch is fine, it does not mean that Belinsko can completely get rid of the suspicion in this whole matter, as long as this matter is not solved for a day, and no one can escape the suspicion, and they are all the objects of investigation.

However, it is already known that the clue to Belinsky's pocket watch was broken from the pawnshop. The pawnshop must have a clear record of when the Belinsko watch was pawned, and whose hands it ended up in, etc., as long as these questions are clarified, it will indirectly explain whether the watch of Belinsko is the same as the watch on the deceased.

If it's really not the same piece. Thinking of this, Lebezovsky immediately ordered someone to investigate how many such watches there are in this world.

The efficiency of the clerk is very high, and the results soon came out, such watches because of the special commemorative value, a total of three pieces were produced, and these three pocket watches of the same style were specially customized by people with considerable status, and as for who customized, the manufacturer was unwilling to disclose. Because this falls under the category of trade secrets.

Lebezovsky could not be forced either, so he had to find another way.

However, at this point, Lebezovsky has made one thing clear, that is, this watch is not the other, and it is really possible that Belinsko's piece is not the same as Zhukov's, and since there are only three such tables, it is not surprising that Belinsko has one.

But. Because of this, Lebezovsky thought of another question. If this watch is so precious, how did Belinsko get a piece?

Of course, although he was interested in the question, it was already a matter of private privacy, and if he wanted to know, he had to ask Belinsko again. This is outside the scope of the investigation.

Well, now that Belinsko's watch is gone, the matter is over, and the matter of tracing down where his watch has gone seems to be meaningless.

And when all this was figured out, Lebezovsky had another problem in his mind. He suddenly thought that this incident was not someone deliberately leading him down the wrong road, in order to divert the target of his investigation.

He seems to have been tricked, apparently using this to divert his attention and divert the focus of his investigation elsewhere.

In short, Lebezovsky felt as if an invisible hand was in control.

And now, he must try not to be disturbed by this force, and find out about this murder as soon as possible, so as to give a reasonable explanation to all the people involved.

Now that he found out that the direction was wrong, then Lebezovsky could only go back to the old way, Zhukov was an important general in the military, then he started the investigation from the army.

The military side has always been at odds with the civilian clique headed by Lebezovsky, and they have always opposed civilian interference in the military, but this time the prime minister came by the tsar's will, and the purpose of his coming to the army was also to find out the truth as soon as possible, return Zhukov's innocence, and indirectly save the face of the military.

So, this time, the military did not show obvious opposition, on the contrary, they cooperated.

And Lebezovsky's main object of investigation this time was the people around Zhukov, that is, the Western Military District, because the place where Zhukov lost his pocket watch was in the Western Military District, and Zhukov himself served in the Western Military District.

Of course, after some understanding and analysis, Lebezovsky had the latest object of suspicion, that is, the commander of the Western Military District, Schikov.

Schikov was not only Zhukov's boss, but also a limited number of people who could freely associate with Zhukov, that is, he had the conditions to commit the crime, but the only thing that made the suspicion untenable was that Schikov had no obvious motive for committing the crime, and if Schikov was the object they had been looking for, then what his purpose was, and why he did it, there was no reason at all.

However, there are often things that are simply unjustified.

Therefore, regardless of whether the reason existed, Lebezovsky decided to investigate it, after all, Schikov also had the conditions for committing the crime, and there was an internal reason why Lebezovsky suspected Schikov, and the reason why Lebezovsky would investigate Belinsko was because Schikov provided a special clue, and he ran to tell Lebezovsky last time that Belinsky had a pocket watch on his body that was the same as the one on the deceased.

However, how did Schikov know about this, and even if he really knew, why he didn't say it when the case just happened, but only when Lebezovsky couldn't find out, he said it, which couldn't help but make Lebezovsky suspect that he was misleading.

So, Lebezovsky must check him. (To be continued......)
