Sokov stood up, walked to the fake captain, took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, and asked politely: "Do you want to smoke?"
"Of course, it would be great if you could give me one."
When the fake captain took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, Sokov personally lit a cigarette for him and asked casually: "The name you just mentioned must be a pseudonym. Can you tell me your real name?"
?"
The fake captain took a long drag on his cigarette, blew out the smoke ring, and said slowly: "My real name is Andrei Myakov." The director of the bureau office saw Sokov coming forward to hand the fake captain a cigarette.
At that time, he couldn't help but frowned. He felt that Sokov's doing this was a bit unnecessary and it was impossible to ask anything new. But at this moment, he saw that the other party actually said it cheerfully.
After revealing his real name, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
I heard Sokov ask again: "Have you been a soldier?" "No." Andrei Miyakov shook his head and said: "Not long after my family was evacuated to Nizhnylovgorod, my parents
I died of illness, and then I was arrested for theft and sent to Siberia for a labor camp.
Opportunity to join the army.”
"Oh, so that's it." Sokov nodded and then said, "Then tell me the specific details of your burglary."
Andrei Miyakov said very cooperatively: "I usually never stay in one place for more than a month."
"Never more than a month?" The police chief heard what he said and immediately asked: "Why?" "The reason is very simple." Andrei Myakov shrugged and said: "When I rent a house, I always
I told the other party that because my allowance has not been paid out yet, the rent will have to wait a month before I pay it. And then
Some of the landlords saw that I was a soldier, so they readily agreed to my proposal."
"Then tell me the details of your burglary."
Andrei Myakov said: "I usually invite my neighbors to my home when I have been living there for a month..."
"I asked about the details of your burglary, but you told me that you would invite neighbors to your home before you live for a month." The police chief said angrily: "You don't understand me.
Is there a problem?" "Comrade Sheriff, don't get angry." Sokov felt that Andrei Miyakov must have his intentions in inviting neighbors to his home, so he quickly raised his hand to stop the Sheriff, and then rushed
Author Andrei Myakov said: "Ann
Andre, keep talking."
Andrei Miyakov continued: "During dinner, I will continue to look for topics, deepen my relationship with my neighbors, and learn more about the specific circumstances of their homes, so as to determine which family to choose to attack." The Sheriff Meets
Andrei Myakov hesitated to talk about the specific details of the theft. He was very anxious and planned to interrupt the other party. But when he saw Sokov standing nearby, he could only swallow the words that were on his lips and continue to listen.

narration.
"After choosing the target, how did you start?" Sokov asked. "After I learned about the hobbies of my neighbors through dinner parties, I would take the initiative to say to them: In order to enhance our friendship with each other, I plan to
Please watch the movie." Andrei Myakov said: "If anyone doesn't want to watch the movie
, I would suggest watching a drama or opera instead, there is always a form of entertainment that everyone likes." After hearing this, Sokov roughly understood the purpose of Andrei Miyakov's doing this, and couldn't help but feel secretly sad.
He praised: What a great job, by inviting the neighbors to watch movies, plays or operas
, to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When everyone is watching a movie or a play in the theater, he sneaks back and sneaks into an unoccupied room to steal, so that he can do it without anyone noticing. Sure enough, Andre Miyako
In the following narration, the husband confirmed Sokov’s guess: “I usually find an excuse to sneak out of the theater while they are watching movies or plays in the theater, sneak back to the place where they live, and pry them open.
Check their door locks and look for valuable things in their homes." "Aren't you worried that your neighbors will call the police when they come home and find that their homes have been burglarized?" Sokov looked at Andre M.
Yakov asked: "Once the police interrogate you, your identity will be exposed."
"I have already thought about this problem." Andrei Myakov said: "So before I invite my neighbors to the theater to watch a movie or a play, I will buy three tickets in advance for Victoria and her
children in movies
Before the show ends, wait for me at the station. This way we can escape from this dangerous place smoothly before the neighbors come to their senses." "What a great job." Sokov waited for him to finish and spoke in an approving tone.
Said: "If during the war, you might be an excellent scout." After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the other party on the shoulder, turned around and walked back.
took his own seat.
"Tell me about it." After the police chief waited for Sokov to sit back in his seat, he looked at Andrei Miyakov and asked: "How many cases have you done in total?" "Starting from September this year.
, I have done three crimes." Andrei Miyakov replied: "If you don't catch me today, I plan to treat the neighbors to dinner tonight, and then treat them to a movie tomorrow and then take a ride.
Leave this city." When the director of the bureau office heard this, he instinctively turned his head and glanced at Sokov, and said with emotion: "Comrade General, if you hadn't discovered his flaw today, I guess someone would have come to the police station tomorrow.
Report the crime, saying that their home was damaged
There was a theft. I think those families should be grateful to you." "It's just a coincidence." Sokov waved his hand and said to the director of the Bureau: "You must not tell those neighbors the truth.
Said that while you were chasing criminals, you accidentally discovered that Andrei Myakov was a fake
Pretending to be a soldier.”
"clear."
The sergeant waited for Sokov and the director of the bureau to finish speaking, and then asked cautiously: "What should we do next?"
"Lock him up first," the director of the bureau office ordered.
After the police took Andrei Miyakov away, the director of the bureau asked Sokov: "Comrade General, do you have any ideas?" "Comrade Director." Sokov just took the initiative to talk to Andrei.
While chatting, Miyakov did have some thoughts in his mind. At this moment, when the director of the bureau asked about it, he replied: "Although this person is a liar and a thief, he has never been a thief."
He has been a soldier, but I feel that in some respects, he is a rare talent. Please notify the person in charge of the cell and don't embarrass him. Maybe one day he will be put to use." Although the situation is
The director of the office did not know what Sokov planned to use Andrei Myakov, but he still replied very readily: "Okay, Comrade General, I will say hello to the prison authorities and ask them not to make this difficult.
people."
Just as Sokov was about to leave, the police sergeant suddenly said: "Comrade General, Ms. Victoria has arrived. Do you need to participate in her cross-examination?"
??????55.??????
Sokov was about to ask who Victoria was when he suddenly thought of Andrei Miakov. The person the police chief mentioned should be the person pretending to be Andrei Miakov’s wife, so he nodded and said:
"Then bring her in."
Soon, a young woman in ordinary clothes was brought in by the police.
"Please sit down!" After the police chief asked the other party to sit down, he asked straight to the point: "What's your name?"
"Victoria!"
"Do you know why we called you here?"
"have no idea."
While the police chief was questioning, Sokov secretly observed the woman's expression, and saw that when she answered the question, her tone was very confused, and she obviously didn't understand why the police brought her here.
"Andrei Myakov, do you know him?"
Victoria thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know him." "It's the captain who lives with you." The police chief didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "After our investigation, that person is nothing at all.
soldier, but a liar and thief. So far, he has
He has become a suspect in many thefts. We called you here just to find out how much you know about him." "I met him on the train." Victoria lowered her head and whispered.
Said: "He said that he was an officer who had just returned from the Far East battlefield and wanted to find a place to settle down. It happened that I was also looking for such a place, so
Choose to live in the same place as him."
"Has he ever shown you his military ID, or other valid ID?" the police chief asked. Victoria shook her head and said, "No, I have never seen any of his ID. Every time we go to rent a house
Every time, he would come forward. He would tell the landlord that since the military allowance had not been paid yet, he needed to
I have to wait a month before I can pay the rent, I hope my landlord can understand me."
"What did the landlords say?" the sergeant asked. "The landlord looked at the military uniform he was wearing and the medal on his chest, so he naturally trusted him very much." Victoria said: "That's it, we are under Brother Love.
Rhodes settled down and had a home of his own
.When we lived there for almost a month, he suddenly said to me that he wanted to treat the neighbors to a meal and thank them for taking care of us. He hoped that I could advance the cost first and wait until he had money.
give me back.
I think since we all live together, I will definitely help him when he encounters difficulties. What's more, he uses the money to entertain the neighbors and build good relations with them, which will be very helpful to our future lives.
of."
"On the second day of every treat, does he also invite the neighbors to watch movies, plays, or operas?" the police chief continued to ask.
"Yes, that's right, comrade policeman." Victoria nodded and said, "I thought it wouldn't cost much to watch movies and dramas, so I agreed to his arrangement."
"Then what?" "Unexpectedly, on the way to the theater, he quietly told me that he would need to leave to do something after the movie started. He hoped that I would find an opportunity to leave midway and take the children to a nearby movie theater.
Waiting for him at the station, he has already
I’ve bought tickets to other cities.”
"Do you know why he did this?" Victoria shook her head first, then nodded, and said in a panic: "When I left for the first time, I didn't think about it at all. I thought something had happened. But the second time
When I left the city, I discovered something was wrong
A strong place.”
"What's wrong?" "Think about it, last time he invited neighbors to a dinner party in Nizhnylovgorod, invited others to watch a movie the next day, and skipped out midway. He also asked me to leave the theater with my children and wait for him at the station.
I just feel something is wrong. Wait a minute
After getting out of the car, I opened the suitcase he was carrying and saw the silver candlesticks, silver tableware and some gold and silver jewelry inside, and then I realized he was a thief."
"It would be too arbitrary for you to judge that he is a thief just based on the contents of the box." The police chief said. "No, no, no, this is the conclusion I came to after careful observation." Victoria continued: "
I saw the silver candlesticks and silver tableware in the box. They all belonged to my female neighbor. I had seen them when I was a guest at her home. They were particularly special.
It's those gold and silver jewelry, and I even saw my female neighbor wearing them. Based on these details, I think there must be something wrong with the captain."
"Have you verified your judgment later?" Sokov interjected and asked. Victoria looked at Sokov. Although she was not sure of the other party's identity, she still nodded and said truthfully: "When we arrive at the third city, I see
Then he used the same rhetoric again to get the landlord to agree to pay the rent one month later.
, I felt that he must have some conspiracy. Therefore, when he once again arranged for neighbors to watch a movie in the theater, and saw him leaving the theater, I followed him out secretly, just to find out if he was going back to where we lived.
"
"Then what?" The police chief looked up at Victoria and asked, "Did he go back to where you live?"
"Yes, he went back." Victoria said: "I saw him walking into the house where we lived, but there was no light in our room."
"The lack of lights means nothing." The director of the bureau said deliberately in a casual tone: "Maybe he just wants to go home and take a nap, and it is normal not to turn on the lights." "Comrade police officer," Victoria looked at the bureau.
The director of the office said: "If the lights in my house have not been on, the possibility you mentioned does exist. But the next moment, I saw the lights on the neighbor's house were on, and from the curtains
Judging from the swaying figure, there is no doubt that it is him.
So when we met at the station again, I asked him directly if he had just stolen something from his neighbor's house."
"How did he answer?"
"He said he didn't steal anything, but because he was short of money recently, he had to borrow some things from his neighbors in order to survive. When he has money in the future, he will double the money back to his neighbors."
After hearing this, the police chief laughed and asked: "Do you believe what he said?" "I don't believe it." Victoria answered simply. She explained to everyone: "I work in a coffee shop in the town.
I hope to earn a salary that can support myself and my children, so that I will choose to leave him. I
I don’t want my children to have a stepfather who is a thief and a liar when they grow up.”
"He has been arrested by us." The police chief said to Victoria: "Now, you are completely free."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the police chief finished speaking, Victoria's eyes widened in surprise: "What, he has been arrested by you. When did this happen?" When Sokov heard what Victoria said, he couldn't help but be a little confused.
, I asked in my heart, didn’t the policeman who brought you here tell you that the fake captain had been arrested by us, and asked you to come here just to verify some situations?
