Although the city of Nuremberg was almost turned into ruins during the Allied bombing, in Sokov's view, the city's order was better than that of Berlin. First of all, although many of the buildings on both sides of the street have changed
It was in ruins and had not been cleaned up. However, no bricks or rubble could be seen on the streets. Even the damaged pavement had been repaired so that the streets could be driven on
The vehicles flowed unimpeded. Secondly, there was no patrol team consisting of a dozen or even dozens of people like the Soviet army. There were only two military policemen patrolling along the streets. Citizens walking on the sidewalks sometimes rushed
Say hello to these gendarmes
call.
"Comrade General," Vaserigov walked to Sokov's side and asked with some surprise: "I think the environment here seems to be very different from Berlin." "This is normal," Sokov said.
The husband nodded and said to Vaselgov: "Germany's demonizing propaganda against our country has made their people psychologically reject us. In addition, our troops have entered Germany.
After that, we committed many excessive behaviors, which intensified the conflict between us and the German people. If we want to live in peace with them, I am afraid it will take a relatively long process." Bayer, who followed Sokov out, did not forget it.
As part of their responsibilities, he and his son Zolda each held a photo and asked passers-by if they had seen the person in the photo. The passers-by who were stopped saw the police uniform and Zolda's clothes on Bayer's body.
They have a natural sense of intimacy with their military uniforms, and they try their best to cooperate with the questions they ask. But unfortunately, after asking hundreds of people along the way, there are still no clues.
. Two passing U.S. military policemen saw Bayer and Zolda stopping pedestrians and asking what was going on, and quickly ran over to learn about the situation. One of the tall and thin military policemen asked Bayer in broken German: "You
doing what?
"
"Sir," Bayer replied respectfully after clearly seeing the other party's sergeant rank, "We are looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" The military policeman stretched out his hand to Bayer and said with a straight face: "Your ID!"
Bayer took out his ID and handed it to the gendarme. The gendarme took the ID and looked at it, and couldn't help but frowned: "You are a policeman in Berlin, why did you show up in Nuremberg?" Without waiting for Bayer to answer, he handed the gendarme the ID in his hand.
He put his ID in his pocket and said politely, "Follow me."
Go to the garrison headquarters and explain how you ended up in Nuremberg." He tried to take the Bayers and his son away.
Sokov was standing on the roadside not far away talking with Adelina and Vaserigov. Suddenly he saw that the military police were about to take away the Bayers and his son. He quickly walked over and said to the two military policemen in English:
"Please wait a moment." The military police sergeant had actually seen Sokov a long time ago, but he did not see Sokov and Bayer connected. At this moment, when he heard Sokov calling him, he stopped and asked politely.
Said: "Mr. General, I wonder what you have
Something?"
"The two of them are my subordinates, I brought them here from Berlin," Sokov said.
Learning that the Bayers and his son were brought over from Berlin by Sokov, the military police sergeant asked with some surprise: "Mr. General, did they get your permission to find people on the streets of Nuremberg?" "Yes, that's what happened.
I allowed it." Sokov knew very well that if he didn't explain the reason clearly to the other party, he might really bring the Bayers and his son back to the security headquarters. Even if he could rescue the two of them, it would be a waste of time.
It took a lot of energy. After hearing what Sokov said, the military police sergeant hesitated for a moment, but still took out his ID and gave it back to Bayer. Then he said to Sokov: "Mr. General, if you want to find someone, you can go
The local police station, I believe with their expertise
You can easily find the person you are looking for by doing your business. If you try your luck on the street, the chance of finding someone is low." For Sokov, finding two or three people in this strange city is no different.
Looking for a needle in a haystack. When he heard the military police sergeant say this, he felt that it made sense. In any case, the matter was handled by the German police.
The effect is much better than searching for it without any purpose.
"Sergeant," Sokov asked politely, "I wonder where the police station you mentioned is?" The gendarmerie sergeant turned and pointed to the street and said, "Go forward along this street. After passing two intersections, turn left.
Turn around and walk more than 300 meters forward, and you will see the police station. The houses near the police station were all destroyed in the bombing, but
The building of the police station is relatively well-preserved because of its strength, and you can see it when you stand at the intersection."
After Sokov thanked the military police sergeant, he led everyone along the street. Bayer felt that it would be more efficient to go to the police station and ask his colleagues to help find him, so he did not stop passers-by on the road to ask.
When he arrived at the second intersection, Sokov saw a three-story building standing among the ruins. He turned to Baier and asked: "Officer Baier, that should be the police station, right?" To Baier, this
For an old policeman, the logo on the outer wall of the police station was extremely familiar to him. After just one glance, he nodded and said in a positive tone: "Yes, Comrade General, there is indeed a police station in front of you."
.”
When Sokov and others came to the police station, they caused a chaos. Looking at the Soviet generals coming in from outside, the policemen seemed a little flustered. They didn't know if they had done something wrong. Otherwise, how could there be such a thing?
A general and his men broke into the police station? After a brief panic,
A police sergeant came to Sokov and asked tremblingly: "Mr. General, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you."
Sokov did not answer, but winked at Bayer and motioned for him to explain to the police chief.
Bayer quickly stepped forward, showed his ID to the other party, and explained why he was here.
After the police sergeant figured out what was going on, he said a few words to Bayer.
After Agelina heard what was going on, she explained to Sokov: "The chief told Bayer that he would report the matter to the director to see if the director could arrange manpower to help us find the person we are looking for.
.”
After Bayer waited for the sergeant to finish speaking, he returned to Sokov and reported to him: "Comrade General, the sergeant said he would take us to see the director, will you come with him?" "No, no.
"Sokov thought to himself that when he and the others came in, they were all frightened by the policemen in the police station. If they really went to see the chief, it would be troublesome if the chief was frightened and had a heart attack. He shook his head
Head said:
"Officer Bayer, take Zolda with the police chief. We will stay here waiting for you." After saying that, he called Agelina and Vasergov to sit on the bench near the door.
superior.
Seeing that Sokov was unwilling to go to see the director, Bayer did not force it. If Sokov really went, he would not be able to tell many things when he met the director. After the Bayers and his son left with the police chief, those working in the hall
The policemen looked through the eyes from time to time, muttering in their hearts, when will these plague gods at the door leave? With them sitting here, they are all quiet.
Not willing to work. Agelina saw the uneasiness of the policemen and asked Sokov in a low voice: "Misha, is it appropriate for us to sit here? You see, the eyes of those policemen are looking at us from time to time. We have
Sitting here, they simply
I can’t calm down to work.”
"It's too cold outside, but it's warm inside this room." Sokov said briefly: "You don't want the northwest wind blowing outside, right?" Agelina thought about it carefully, and what Sokov said made sense.
, although the winter temperature in Nuremberg is not as low as in Moscow, it is still a bit too cold to stand outside waiting for people, so he nodded in agreement with Sokov.
s arrangement.
The door opened, and several policemen walked in from the outside. They were startled when they saw several Soviet commanders and fighters sitting on the benches at the door.
A moment later, a man who looked like a police officer came to Sokov and said with surprise on his face: "So it's you, Mr. General?" Sokov looked up at the police officer standing in front of him, feeling that the other person
He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He turned around and asked Agelina: "Agelina, he looks familiar. Have we met before?"
Where have you seen him?"
"Of course I have seen it." Agelina nodded and said, "Have you forgotten that after the female translator's accident happened yesterday, he was the one who led people to the scene to investigate."
After figuring out who the police officer standing in front of him was, Sokov stood up and shook hands with the other person: "Hello, Mr. Police Officer! I wonder if the comparison results of the shoe samples you collected last night have come out?" "It's out, it's out."
The police officer nodded vigorously and said in a positive tone: "After we compared the boots worn by the plumber, we can prove that the series of footprints outside the window were left by him.
.”
After a pause, the police officer asked respectfully: "Mr. General, can you tell me how you made your judgment?"
Facing the police officer who humbly asked him for advice, Sokov naturally had no reservations: "Mr. Police Officer, the reason why I was able to identify the murderer in a very short period of time was entirely because of a sentence he said unintentionally."
The police officer did not hear the details provided by the waitress and the female sergeant to Sokov. Naturally, he did not know what Sokov said based on what the plumber said to draw the correct conclusion: "Mr. General, can you tell me
, he said
What did you say?"
"Last night was the scene you surveyed. Can you tell me," Sokov did not tell the other party the answer immediately. Instead, he asked: "What was your first impression when you saw the deceased after entering the scene?"
"What was your first impression when you saw the deceased?" Sokov's question made the police officer frown: "When I looked at her, I felt like she was asleep, and I felt quite sorry. Such a beautiful person
bitch
Mother, how could you not think about it and commit suicide?" "You are right, the deceased gave everyone the impression that he was sleeping soundly." Sokov continued: "And the waitress asked the passing plumber to check it out.
In indoor conditions, the plumber only goes through the small hole above the door.
He glanced at the window and yelled: No, she's dead!" Hearing what Sokov said, the police officer was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise and gave Sokov a thumbs up.
: "Mr. General, you are so awesome. You actually discovered the other party's weakness from such small details.
Yes. If an ordinary person looked in through the small window above the door and saw the deceased lying on the bed, they would definitely think that the deceased was asleep. Only the real murderer would casually say that the deceased was dead.
"
"Yes." Sokov nodded, "Based on what he said, I judged that he was the murderer in this case."
The door opened, and several policemen walked in from the outside. They were startled when they saw several Soviet commanders and fighters sitting on the benches at the door.
A moment later, a man who looked like a police officer came to Sokov and said with surprise on his face: "So it's you, Mr. General?" Sokov looked up at the police officer standing in front of him, feeling that the other person
