Petukhov underestimated Shuvanov too much. This man's vigilance and defensive psychology were much beyond the average person. It can be said that he did not trust anyone and was highly suspicious of everyone. Especially those whom he was not familiar with.
He will be more wary of people who are too trusting, such as Petukhov's group.
Soon, his people discovered that Pugachev was missing, and the fun suddenly increased. At noon, he found Petukhov and questioned him face to face.
"Colonel Petukhov, I want to know where Major Pugachev is?!"
Petukhov was naturally caught off guard. He did not expect that Shuvanov would come so quickly, suddenly, and so directly.
In desperation, he could only pray for Pugachev, hoping that his nephew would be smarter, and on the other hand, he could only pretend to be confused.
"Is Major Pugachev missing? Guard! Go look for him and see if Major Pugachev is there!"
While pretending, he smiled and said: "Why is Major Pugachev missing? Maybe he went to the toilet or wandered around!"
But Shuvanov said with a straight face: "Impossible, my people have searched the toilets and surrounding farms, and there is no trace of Major Pugachev!"
Petukhov was shocked again. He wanted to find an excuse to deal with it. Who would have thought that the other party would be so careful and plugged all the loopholes before coming to settle accounts with him? It's so difficult to deal with! It's so difficult.
insidious!
"Impossible!" Petukhov was dealing with it, but he was secretly worried in his heart, but he said: "I have repeatedly warned that casual activities are strictly prohibited, and this bastard must have been hiding and drinking again!"
Shuvanov said with a cold face: "Colonel Petukhov, I remind you that it is best to find Major Pugachev quickly, and it is also best to pray that the major does not expose our whereabouts. If it is caused by his relationship,
Our mission this time fell short, and what awaits him must be the most severe military law! Both Duke Ordorf and His Majesty are very concerned about this, and you know what the consequences will be!"
After warning Petukhov, he gave a firm order: "Send everyone out, expand the search area, and be sure to find Pugachev!"
This made Petukhov even more anxious. He hurriedly said: "Then my people will also be sent out to search together!"
Who would have thought that Shuvanov flatly refused: "No! If one or two of your people are missing, I will have to go to the trouble of looking for them! Your people will just stay in the farm and not take a step without my permission."
Don’t leave!”
After saying that, he didn't care what Petukhov's expression was, and just issued the order on his own. He really regarded Petukhov as nothing. What's even more annoying is that he actually sent someone to kill Petukhov.
Hof's people were all under guard, as if guarding against thieves.
This naturally made Petukhov very angry, but he had nothing to do for the time being, as the other party had too much influence, and it was indeed his fault first, so he could only endure it.
"Brigadier, are we just going to endure it like this?"
Petukhov clicked his tongue and said helplessly: "Otherwise, what else can we do? Now I can only hope that Pugachev can be smarter!"
Actually, Petukhov also knows that it doesn’t matter whether Pugachev is clever or not. Even if he is clever, he may have to shed his skin. We can only hope that he can find Li Xiao and get in touch to avoid being punished and having nothing to do.
succeed.
Shuvanov was really not joking when he sent people out to search. He really sent out all the people he could send out to search. He searched Maple Tree Villa up and down, inside and out, and even searched
The scope has been expanded to three kilometers outside the villa.
"Where on earth is this bastard hiding?"
The more he couldn't find anyone and the wider the search scope, the uglier Shuvanov's face became. At first he was just a little angry, thinking that Pugachev was just wandering around without organization or discipline.
But the search area is so large and there are still no traces. This means that the situation is completely different, okay? God knows what the other party has done, whether it will be exposed, and whether there will be any problems.
A series of doubts kept swirling in Shuvanov's mind. For a moment, he doubted whether Pugachev had betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and wanted to transfer immediately.
This anxious mood lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and came to an end when his outermost troops discovered a drunken Pugachev in a woods.
"Drunk? Hide in the woods and sleep?!"
Shuvanov was so angry that he was so anxious that he was about to jump. Who would have thought that the other party would hide and drink to death? Damn it, what kind of nonsense is this!
But he was still very vigilant and asked: "Are you sure you are drunk?"
"He was drunk. He drank at least five or six bottles of vodka. The smell of alcohol was so strong that he was snoring when we found him!"
Shuvanov was still worried and asked: "Where is the person? Has he woken up?"
"I can't wake up. I drank too much. It's no use pouring buckets of cold water on me. God knows how much this bastard drank!"
"Bring people here!"
Shuvanov still refused to fully believe it, and he couldn't rest assured without seeing it for himself. At this time, Petukhov also arrived: "Colonel, I heard that you found that bastard thing?
"
Shuvanov glanced at Petukhov up and down, and then looked at his subordinates. Obviously, he was not satisfied with Petukhov coming so quickly, and wanted to know who had such a leaky mouth!
"Yes, I just heard about it too and am about to go over for interrogation!"
Petukhov suddenly became upset. Why are you planning to go there for interrogation? After all, he is Pugachev’s direct superior. Even if you want to interrogate, you have to get his consent, okay? It seems that you didn’t tell me what you meant.
You mean, you are not ready to let me watch!
Petukhov also didn't have a good temper. He didn't stand up to Shuvanov before because he was afraid. Since Shuvanov didn't give him face, he wouldn't be polite either.
Immediately, he hit the snake with a stick and said: "Then let's go take a look and see where this bastard died! I'm so angry!"
Petukhov said he was mad at me, but Shuvanov could tell that he was not angry at all, but more defensive. He had no interest in arguing with Petukhov, let alone excluding
Interfering with individual interrogations is the style of Part 3.
He immediately refused: "No, it's a serious matter. I'm going to interrogate Major Pugachev alone. Colonel, just wait here!"
As he said that, he wanted to leave, but how could Petukhov agree? He immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you waiting for! How can I wait for such a big thing to happen! I have to see clearly, take a look
