Chapter 23 Small Gifts

Volga River Street was surrounded by policemen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in an area near the river. Outside the cordon, there were curious onlookers, talking about something from time to time. Bullet shells, broken glass, and large pieces of blood were scattered on the roads of the street. Several water police speedboats were moored on the river surface, and divers jumped into the river from time to time to search.

Chernenko, deputy director of the Interior Bureau of the Gorky Automobile Factory, looked at his busy subordinates with a blank expression. He still couldn't believe that a big brother who was calling for the wind and rain in Gorky, who had been operating in this land for two generations, was killed. He was also his local relationship network with him. Chernenko was sent to Gorky for this relationship network. Now, with the disappearance of the goal, Chernenko's clues will be cut off. He may be abandoned here by the top leaders of the KGB and forgotten here. This is not the result that Chernenko wants.

The bulldozer that committed the crime was also found, abandoned and burned on the roadside. Judging from the machine number, it should be left here by the construction unit that built the cross-river bridge a few years ago. It should have been a malfunction at that time, so it was abandoned on the mound of soil by the river. As a result, it was discovered by the suspect and used to commit today's bloody case. It is almost impossible to find the murderer. Not to mention the tradition of gangsters not cooperating with the police. Even those who have the motivation to kill Popov can line up the Volga River Street. The bulldozer is Soviet goods, durable, easy to maintain and repair, and it is not difficult to start him. The only clue now is that the murderer will operate the machine.

Just when Chernenko was still worried about pursuing the murderer, Selyosha was looking through a address book, which recorded in detail many local officials. This was discovered by Selyosha from the bulldozer when burning the bulldozer. This should be Popov's thing, probably dropped inside when Popov's car was lifted up. Selyosha took the address book back without thinking. The positions, preferences, and other information recorded above made Selyosha vaguely feel that this thing can be used in the future, so he locked the address book in the safe with some important things.

After lunch, Seriosha and Petrov's father went to the hospital to visit Boris. Boris recovered well. Seriosha handed the flowers in his hand to Boris' mother, leaned down and said in Boris' ear: "Remember to recover! I wish you a quick recovery from Boris." Boris wanted to ask about Nikita and Pokreshkin and the murder of Popov. But Seriosha didn't say it, and Boris was embarrassed to ask. But Boris couldn't think of anyone else besides Seriosha to challenge Popov. Boris was shocked and his heart was filled with respect and gratitude for Seriosha. This was no longer a simple thank you.

In the corridor, Mr. Petrov was chatting happily with Boris' mother, while Seriosha opened a bottle of canned fruit and handed it to Boris. Boris chatted with Seriosha while enjoying the canned food.

"Our business has been opened again. Yuri is doing your original job now. Recently, Popov is missing, and many small vendors will come to Yuri to get goods. The business is so good. The headache now is the problem of the supply. Mihail can no longer meet the huge market demand. By the way, I will save your share for you first, and I will return it to you when you are discharged from the hospital." Seryosha said in a low voice.

"Boss, I think we should recruit some more people, otherwise if we encounter a powerful force like Popov, I'm afraid we will still be passive." Boris suggested.

"What you said makes sense. I agree to recruit new personnel, but I can only recruit people from the outside, and I can only recruit from the Gorky factory, knowing each other well. I don't want anyone to enter our circle for the time being. We have too many secrets that cannot be known by others." Selyosha reminded.

"By the way, boss, what are the arrangements for the evening? Can you take me out for a walk?" Boris begged.

"I'm very sorry, Boris, I made an appointment with Tonia tonight. I'm afraid I can't take you out for a couple of drinks." Seryosha refused Boris with a proud look on his face.

"Ah! When did you get so good? You can actually ask Tonia out, you guy who values ​​sex over friends!" Boris pretended to complain.

...

In a well-received restaurant around Nizhny Novgoro German University, Seriosha and Tonia sat face to face and enjoyed wine and food together. Tonia was dressed beautifully today, changing the image of being frightened in the hospital that day.

"By the way, I have sold the things you last time for you. The price is good, and it should be enough for you to repay the remaining debts." After Seryosha said that, he handed Tonia a handbag full of bundled banknotes. Since he was misunderstood by Tonia that time, he has been paying Tonia's payment for the goods in cash.

Donniya felt a little embarrassed. She took a sip of wine, but stared at Seryosha with a smirk. "I didn't expect you to remember the last deposit slip!" Donniya complained.

Selyosha smiled embarrassedly. Although he likes Tonia very much, he just hides it in his heart. Tonia is like a princess in trouble, and she is still a fugitive now. A person who runs a gray business may one day be reintroduced to prison by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the KGB. These two types of people should not be together.

"This is for you, as a small gift for you to help me pay off my debts!" ​​The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Tonya took out an exquisite box and handed it to Selyosha, with an exquisite bow on it.

Unlike the Chinese, it is a polite Western politeness to unpack the gifts in person. Under the anticipation of Tonya, Seryosha opened the packaging box and a beautiful Rolex watch lay quietly in the box.

"This is simply too expensive. I..." Sheryosha was interrupted by Tonya just as he was about to say something.

"Don't refuse the lady's kindness. Your help to me is far from what this little thing can repay." Dongniya held Seryosha's hand and said sincerely.

After dinner, Selyosha sent Tonia home. The distance was very close and it was time to come. The road was a bit dull, and Selyosha was a little sad. I am afraid that after Tonia paid off her debt, she would not have any interaction with someone like him. Tonia seemed to have something to do, and she didn't say a few words along the way.

The car slowly stopped downstairs of Dongniya's house, and the two sat in the car and looked at each other and smiled.

"Do you want to go up and sit?" Dongniya suddenly said.

Selyosha nodded, and the two got out of the car. Selyosha followed Tonia to her doorstep. This was Selyosha's first time to visit Tonia's house. He was very excited and a little nervous.
