The train driver in the courtyard

Semenov's hopes were completely shattered.

The ticket sellers who were brought back from the Moscow Railway Station in St. Petersburg did not give any useful confessions after undergoing intensive interrogation by the Cheka interrogators.

Semenov had great faith in the ability of the Cheka interrogators.

For example, the key interrogation target named Ivan actually told a ridiculous thing he had done during the interrogation - he once spat at the portrait while drunk.

Although Ivan repeatedly stated that he was drunk at the time and the spit was completely unintentional.

But based on this crime, he probably won't be able to come back alive from Siberia in this life.

Under such intense interrogation, Semenov concluded that there was no possibility that the ticket sellers were lying.

So the question is, why did Juno accuse Ivan of being Li Aiguo's contact?
"What do you think of Ivan's confession?" Semenov asked the ballerina sitting opposite him.

Juno's face was as pale as paper, her expression was melancholy and sad, she looked pitiful and had a unique kind of fragility.

In his heart, Semenov was really reluctant to punish this woman.

Juno had expected this day to come. She gritted her teeth and said, "I followed the signal Li Aiguo gave me and contacted Ivan. At that time, Ivan did suggest that I buy a ticket to Moscow."

"I have done what you said, betrayed my conscience, and helped you to harm others. Why did you withhold the letter?"

Juno's meaning was very clear, she was only responsible for carrying out the mission, and other things had nothing to do with her.

"Do you really think I'm a fool?" Semenov's eyes turned cold. "Have you discussed this a long time ago?"

"Semenov!" This was the first time that Juno called Semenov's name directly. Semenov stood there in a daze for a moment, a little at a loss.

Juno's emotions completely exploded at this moment. She screamed at Semenov at the top of her lungs: "Why did you lie to me? Did you never intend to send the letter? Did you? Tell me!"

"Oh, haven't you guessed it... Women are really stupid." Semenov suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell forward and backward. The shrill laughter echoed in the interrogation room, making people feel creepy.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped.

Semenov's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Now tell me, what exactly is Li Aiguo's plan? Has the action at the train station leaked information that shouldn't have been leaked?"

Juno was already disheartened at this point, and allowed Semenov to threaten and rage against her, but she just remained silent, staring at him without saying a word.

"Oh, woman, do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Semenov stood up, picked up a file and waved it in front of Juno. "When I was receiving training, the instructor told me that the teeth in the human body are the hardest. At that time, I was thinking, can this file file off the teeth bit by bit?"

Looking at the gleaming file, Juno's face turned pale instantly.

She wanted to stand up and run away, but the two Chekas nearby were quick-witted and rushed over immediately and tied her tightly to a chair with ropes.

Like a demon crawling out of hell, Semenov approached Juno step by step with a file in his hand, saying, "Don't worry, even if you have no teeth, you can still be my maid. I don't mind."

"No. Ugh." Juno screamed in horror, but as soon as the voice came out, her mouth was held back by something like an iron ring.

She felt unprecedentedly helpless and powerless and could only watch the file getting closer and closer to her.

Just then, there were hurried footsteps outside and the door was pushed open with a bang.

Semenov was preparing to torture Juno with great interest, but this sudden interruption ruined his mood and he became very angry.

But when he saw that it was Berezhnaya who came in, he suppressed his anger and asked, "What's going on?"

"Report to the captain, a researcher has confessed that he is willing to testify that Li Aiguo tried to sabotage the development of domestic computers." Berezhnaya, as usual, had a stern expression and spoke in a serious manner.

When Semenov heard the news, his face turned strange.

He was silent for a long time, then turned his head to look at Juno and smiled: "I think your teeth will look better if they remain in your mouth."

After saying this, Semenov threw down the file, opened the door and walked out.

Juno was untied by the Cheka. Her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and tears streaming down her face.

She originally thought that as long as she obeyed Semenov's orders, Semenov would let her husband go.

Thinking about it now, I was so naive and stupid.

How could a ruthless man like Semenov let them go so easily?

******
The climate here in Russia is cold and most of the food is high in calories.

Today's lunch was the same as usual, with sausage and macaroni, mashed potatoes with steak, and rice with fish.

However, the person who delivered the meal was Juno again.

Juno's face had a few more bruises than before, and her expression became more melancholy and sad. Her face was as pale as paper, and she walked like a soulless wooden man, mechanical and stiff.

Juno carefully placed the lunch box on the table, turned around and walked out of the room silently under the surveillance of the Cheka.

Li Aiguo watched the door close, then reached out for his fork and stirred the macaroni carelessly. Suddenly, a piece of paper appeared from the lunch box.

Li Aiguo first looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was paying attention, then he quickly picked up the note and opened it.

The note read: "Fadeev from the institute betrayed you."

Li Aiguo's eyes fell on the shocking words on the note, but his face was as calm as water.

He quickly rolled up the paper, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, then picked up the fork as if nothing had happened and continued to taste the macaroni.

His movements were smooth and natural, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Fadeev... This name made Li Aiguo's thoughts involuntarily drift back to the scene when they first met.

At that time, Fadeev's eyes were full of enthusiasm and persistence for scientific research, but now... Li Aiguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and secretly said: It's a pity for this man.

After lunch, Li Aiguo raised his hand and knocked gently on the door as usual.

In the past, whenever he heard this signal, Cheka would come in immediately to clean up the dishes, but today, he waited for a long time, but there was dead silence outside the door, with no movement at all.

Li Aiguo understood in his heart that this short and leisurely "vacation" time was finally coming to an end... He walked to the window, stretched his body, and looked out through the window.

The security in the garden became increasingly strict, with soldiers armed with live ammunition patrolling back and forth, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

Even on the roof opposite, there was a black sniper rifle, and the cold muzzle was pointed steadily at his chest.

Everything developed as Li Aiguo expected.

It was around two in the afternoon and he was taking a nap.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps. A group of Chekas armed with guns rushed in like ferocious monsters. They tied him up without saying a word and pushed him all the way to the interrogation room.

Li Aiguo was roughly pressed on the cold chair. He looked up at Semenov who was sitting opposite him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Are you really willing to take the risk?"

When Semenov heard this nonsensical remark, he suddenly felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart and subconsciously wanted to explode.

Ever since he captured Li Aiguo and Andre, he not only did not feel the joy of victory, but instead felt as if he was bound by invisible ropes, restricted in every way no matter what he did.

Now that he had finally found a breakthrough, he decided to put aside these emotions for the time being and stop worrying about these trivial matters.

Semenov lit a cigarette and said coldly, "Li Aiguo, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me everything honestly and I'll give you a quick death. I promise."

However, Li Aiguo just smiled and said nothing.

Looking at Li Aiguo's calm appearance, Semenov could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Bring up Fadeev." He shouted in a voice almost like a roar.

After a while, Fadeev walked into the interrogation room under the escort of Berezhnaya.

He did not appear to have been tortured and was able to walk on his own.

But when his eyes fell on Li Aiguo, he lowered his head involuntarily.

Fadeev was "invited" to sit on the chair next to Li Aiguo.

Semenov banged on the table and shouted angrily: "Fadeev, confess your crime!"

Fadeev took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "Report, I want to confess to you. I have altered the grain certificate in an attempt to get more grain. I also attended the funeral of an old professor. Later I found out that he used to be a white dog."

"Give me some new material."

"I'll give you some explosive material."

"Say it."

Fadeev looked at Li Aiguo deeply, gritted his teeth and said: "I, I was fooled by Meijiadit on the plane and leaked the situation of the institute.

Later, Dieter from the Xiaomei family first seduced me with beautiful women, but I was a staunch proletarian fighter, so how could I be tempted?

He tempted me with 500 rubles and a radio to let me sell out the secrets of the institute, but I refused again.

When he saw that he couldn't bribe me, he threatened me that if I leaked the secret, he would kill my whole family.

He gave me a Dongfanghong radio produced by Dongda University in an attempt to bribe me.

This little Meijiadite is Li Aiguo.

I was not firm in my thinking, I did not dare to fight the enemy resolutely, and I did not report these situations to you. I am guilty!
After your patient education, I deeply realized the mistakes I made, and I am willing to stand up and expose Li Aiguo's true face! "
