065 Stalemate

Muralov's lazy appearance made Georgi very unhappy, he had already decided in his heart that Muralov had a problem, and your attitude was so bad if there was a problem, you were going to turn the sky upside down!

To paraphrase a line from Chen Peisi's sketch "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role": "You are a traitor, what are you still angry!" Although Georgi did not say what was in his heart, the meaning was obvious, he did not like Muralov, not at all!

Since Georgi has decided that there is something wrong with Mulalov, then even if Joseph . Puchkov can prove his innocence, and Georgi will be selectively disbelieved. Even he suspected that these so-called evidence were fabricated!

So Georgi immediately put on an aggressive attitude and asked sharply: "Comrade Mulalov, now please seriously answer my next question, because everything you say will be recorded and become evidence in court!" If you deliberately lie or hide something, then you are guilty of one more degree! ”

Muralov was not frightened, although he did not know what Georgi had mentioned once Joseph. Puchkov suddenly turned his face, but he could taste the bitterness of Georgi's words.

"This must be your last resort," he thought to himself, "but this trick won't work against me!" ”

Muralov looked at Georgi very sincerely, as if to say: I am telling the truth!

Seeing that he did not frighten Muralov, Georgi could only continue to interrogate: "I will ask you again, you and Joseph. What exactly is Puchkov's relationship? ”

"Comrades and brothers!" Muralov spread his hands and said helplessly: "I just said it, Joseph. Comrade Puchkov is a good friend of mine. It's the person I trust the most! ”

Georgi sneered. "Then do you know the way? The person you trust the most has just explained everything, he has explained how you are in the same boat with Zinoviev, how you are preparing to kill Alkirov, and how you instructed him to fabricate evidence in an attempt to deceive the organization after the matter was revealed! Do you have anything to say about that?! ”

If he hadn't received the previous note, Muralov would have been blackmailed by Georgi. But with that note as a base, he was very confident and didn't worry about Joseph at all. Puchkov will regurgitate the water.

He smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "I don't know how you came up with the above inference, Comrade Doudoug. These are all nonsense, all slander against my personal reputation, and I have deep suspicions, like Joseph. A person with such a conscience as Comrade Puchkov would have framed me like this! ”

"Don't believe me?" Georgi smiled coldly and continued to lie to him: "Joseph. Puchkov has already confessed everything, he has confessed his guilt, do you still want to continue to carry it? You are aware of the party's policies. Resist strictly, confess and be lenient, I advise you not to have a fluke mentality. Plead guilty now and ask for leniency! ”

Muralov sneered, "I sit up straight, I have never done anything to be sorry for the organization, why should I confess my guilt?" Speaking of this, he instead commanded Georgi's army: "It's you, Comrade Georgi, I don't know what reason you have to give me a snar, and I will not admit any of these crimes that I want to add!" And I'll be sure to tell the organization what's really going on here! I'll see how you explain to the organization when the time comes! ”

"You ......" Georgy really didn't expect Muralov to be so difficult, this guy dared to threaten him, I really don't know where he got the confidence, suddenly Georgi slapped the table, and asked: "So you are ready to resist to the end, and we must give you measures?!" ”

Muralov immediately burst into laughter, and he laughed so thoughtlessly that Georgi was immediately enraged.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Humph!" Muralov glanced at him contemptuously and said proudly: "Of course he is a ridiculous person who laughs at the world!" I used to think that Comrade Dzerzhinsky was very high-level, a good comrade who was rare in the party who was just and selfless. Now it seems that he is nothing more than that, and the people under him are like this! How? I'm ready to bend into a trick to come me. Hmph, boy, I'm not afraid to tell you that the Tsar's dog legs couldn't pry my mouth open, and I want to see how much stronger you can be than the Tsar's dog legs! ”

Georgy was so angry that he almost didn't get angry, and Muralov ridiculed him, and even swept Dzerzhinsky into it. Georgi has always regarded the Man in the Iron Mask as his teacher, and the teacher is despised by others, how can he sit idly by as a student!

"You are not allowed to slander Comrade Felix, you are not qualified to comment on him!"

"You say I'm not qualified, so I'm not qualified?" Muralov smiled sarcastically and continued to mock: "The tongue grows in my mouth, I can say whatever I want!" I just want to scold Dzerzhinsky for selling his reputation and reputation, I want to scold him for not knowing people, and his subordinates are a group of wretched people who have eyes and beads and turn black and white upside down! Now, I solemnly warn you, Comrade Georgi, that you listen to me, and if you have evidence against me, bring it out at once. Has Puchkov already confessed? Take his confession, or just confront him! I'd like to see what else you can do!! ”

As he spoke, Muralov glared at Georgi fearlessly, and that virtue made Georgi feel a faint pain in his liver.

But what about the liver pain, but Georgi can't fight back, Joseph. Puchkov's mouth was also tighter than he thought, no matter how much he coerced and seduced, the other party just insisted that he was sending the letter according to Muralov's instructions, and he didn't know anything else.

"That guy still won't change his tune?" Suslov asked.

Georgi shook his head gloomily and asked rhetorically, "Joseph. And what about Puchkov? Did you cheat out something......"

Before he finished asking, Suslov was already shaking his head, "Could it be, Muralov is indeed innocent, there is Joseph. Puchkov's testimony, the letter of accusation also confirmed that it was in Muralov's handwriting, and judging by it this way, he should ......"

"I still don't think it's right!" Georgi shook his head. "I don't believe there is such a coincidence. And no one can prove it. The whistleblower letter was written last night. It is also possible that Muralov saw that the situation was not good and wrote it today! ”

Suslov reminded: "But Joseph. Puchkov said......"

"That guy is a good friend of Muralov, or his best friend, how much truth do you think his testimony can have!" Georgi replied contemptuously.

"Hey......" Suslov sighed and asked, "So what now?" It turns out that we are at a dead end again. If we can't get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible, the pressure on the side of the Moscow Soviets of Engineer Deputies ......"

"I know the way!" Georgi nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "But we can't go against our principles because of a little pressure!" We've got to get things done. Don't let go of a bad guy! Otherwise, we will have betrayed the trust of the party and Comrade Felix! ”

As soon as he thought of Dzerzhinsky, Suslov stopped talking, and in a call back, Dzerzhinsky highly affirmed their work, and especially pointed out that this case must be solved with all its might, and a good person must not be wronged, but still less a bad person must be spared...... Don't be afraid of pressure, all the pressure is carried by him Dzerzhinsky. Whoever asks will say that it was all agreed to by him. Just let it go!

This kind of trust is really rare, Suslov and Georgie are very moved, but at the same time they are also deeply afraid of betraying Dzerzhinsky's trust, so as soon as Georgy mentions Dzerzhinsky now, Suslov will never say anything else, because if they don't want to live up to Dzerzhinsky, they can only find out.

"I'll go and meet Muralov for a while, I don't believe he doesn't have the slightest flaw!" Georgi rubbed his face, trying to make himself more sober, and Suslov on the side also nodded heavily, "Then I'll interrogate Joseph. Puchkov, put a little more pressure on him! ”

When Georgi walked into the interrogation room again, Muralov was looking at him mockingly, and although Georgi was very unhappy with the other party's face, he told himself that he must be calm and must not be easily provoked by the other party.

"Comrade Mulalov, please tell me about your trip from last night to today!"

"I refuse!" Muralov didn't bird him, and said proudly: "I've finished everything that needs to be said, and I have nothing to say to a villain like you." If you have the ability, you will come up with evidence to accuse me, if there is no evidence, I'm sorry, forgive me for not wasting time with you! ”

"I'm just going to check your itinerary again now, and this is also to prove your innocence!" Georgi held back his anger and said patiently: "If you are really innocent, you should not resist the organization's censorship of you!" ”

Muralov was a little funny in his heart, you kid is too naΓ―ve, you expect to use such a rhetoric to trap me, you and I Muralov joined the party on the first day, and mixed in the organization on the first day, so I don't eat your set!

"It's not that I'm resistant to censorship right now!" Pointing indignantly at Georgi's nose, he said: "Rather, you have taken a preconceived position and tried to impose trumped-up charges on my head!" I've already said what I need to say. I'm still saying the same thing, if you have evidence, then show it openly! Otherwise, I won't be answering any of your questions and I'm not going to continue to cooperate with your investigation! Until there is a comrade who can really preside over justice to try the case! As he spoke, he clasped his hands and closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to Georgi.

"Joseph. Puchkov also does not cooperate? Georgi asked a dejected Suslov.

"He's cooperative!" Suslov smiled bitterly, "You can answer whatever you ask, but you will not say meaningless nonsense, or you will not change your words." Even if I said that Muralov had confessed his guilt, he would bite the bullet and not let go, and even scolded me for making up lies, and sprayed saliva in my face! ”

Hearing this, Georgi fell into deep thought, and although he did not know what was going on, he had a feeling that Muralov seemed to have been in conversation with Joseph. Puchkov reconciled his confessions, and unless he could find evidence to disprove them, he would not be able to help the other party at all.

"Connect me with Comrade Andrei." After careful consideration, Georgi decided to take a different path.

Suslov frowned and asked unpleasantly, "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Joseph. Puchkov was rescued by his troops, and the relevant details can only be asked of him! Georgi said solemnly, "If we can find a relationship with Joseph. Puchkov was arrested together with the masses. Maybe you can untie this dead knot! ”

Suslov listened. Suddenly it was also a light in the eyes - if Joseph. Puchkov is telling the truth. It was true that he had received instructions from Muralov to deliver a letter to the General Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones before the meeting of the Central Executive Committee in Moscow. Well, after his arrest, there must have been witnesses who saw him when he was forced to work by the enemy at the Alexandria Military Academy. If this witness can confirm that he was indeed captured last night, and not this morning, then he is telling the truth, otherwise. He's lying!

Thinking that it was possible to unravel the truth of the matter, Suslov didn't care about the slightest unpleasantness with a certain immortal, and quickly dialed the phone.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ and Joseph. Witnesses to Puchkov's capture? Yes, yes, there is a group of people who can confirm this......"

When Li Xiaofeng's very affirmative reply came from the earpiece, Georgi's face was a little ugly, and he emphasized in an accentuated tone: "Comrade Andrei, are you sure there are witnesses?" And a whole bunch? ”

"Absolutely!" Li Xiaofeng replied in the affirmative, "At that time, I was with Joseph. Is there a problem with the fact that Puchkov was captured together with a large number of people? ”

"Of course there is a problem!" Georgi asked, dissatisfied. "Didn't you release these people after you rescued them? It's hard for me to believe it. You would have deliberately left them for Joseph. Puchkov testified! ”

Although Georgi did not make it clear, his meaning was very clear, Joseph. Puchkov's capture was just an accident, and no one knew that he would become a key witness to Mulalov's innocence. According to the general situation, the ordinary people who have been rescued will definitely be released immediately, if Li Xiaofeng did not do it on purpose, why would he keep this group of fatal witnesses?

To put it bluntly, Georgi was questioning Li Xiaofeng's ghost, but Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly: "Comrade Georgi, I don't know what you mean by this? But I must point out to you that what you have just said is suspicious of chasing after the wind! Of course, I would have released the rescued masses a long time ago, but before releasing them, I specially sent Comrade Vladimirsky to do the identification work, checked their documents in detail, and made a simple record. All this is to prevent any enemy from escaping from us in the midst of the crowd! ”

Georgie was speechless for a moment, the explanation given by Li Xiaofeng was reasonable and beyond reproach, as if he was indeed too reckless and impulsive just now. For this, he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, Comrade Andrei, I misunderstood you!" The interrogation was not carried out very well, so my mood was not very stable, and I apologize for what I just said! ”

"You don't have to apologize!" Li Xiaofeng said very magnanimously, "It's all for work, and I understand the pressure you are carrying." However, I must remind you, Comrade Georgi, that the trial of a case is a very meticulous work, and it must be done with care and care, slowly peeling back the cocoon, and must not rush to achieve results...... Your mentality just now is that you have to be unreasonable, otherwise you may create a number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases......"

When Georgie hung up the phone, he smiled bitterly, just now on the phone Li Xiaofeng taught him a hard lesson, telling him not to rush, but he was really anxious! The pressure of the Central Executive Committee of the Moscow Soviets of Engineer Deputies weighed heavily on his shoulders, and if he could not deal with the case decisively and quickly and beautifully, the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him. You say how can he slow down.

"Comrade Andrei has registered the names and addresses of those witnesses, you can take a few comrades on a trip to find out the actual situation, I am waiting for your good news here!"

Suslov hurried away, he was already Georgi's last hope, if those witnesses could not bring him good news, could not crush Muralov and Joseph. Puchkov's lies, then he could only release them, and then bite the bullet at Kirov and Mikoyan.

Of course, Georgi was destined to be disappointed, Li Xiaofeng had long followed Suslov, and with him as an immortal, I am afraid that the only conclusion given by the witnesses was that Muralov was innocent.

Li Xiaofeng looked at Suslov who was checking the "truth" with the witnesses according to the map, he really hated this kid more and more, obviously you have found four or five witnesses who can "confirm" Mulalov's innocence, you should accept it as soon as you see it, okay, you kid is unrelenting and looking for the list one by one, don't you know that there are hundreds of names on this list, according to your speed, Lao Tzu doesn't have to do anything else today.

Li Xiaofeng really didn't want to continue to waste time on such trivial matters, how many important and important things in Moscow were waiting for him to deal with, such as the unlucky Moscow Central Executive Committee, and he still had to find trouble with his grandsons.

It took a lot of effort for him to get Kirov and Mikoyan into the class room, and only by taking advantage of their absence, he quickly cleaned up the Central Executive Committee and swept these two goods and Lomov and Smirlov's henchmen out of the house, so that he could really control Moscow.

Otherwise, when Kirov and Mikoyan come out, with their personalities, they will definitely fight back, and it will be another dragon fight, and it will be really difficult to say who will kill the deer at that time. Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng glared resentfully at Suslov, who had certified the meticulous investigation work, and had the heart to kill this kid...... (To be continued......)
