Chapter 53: The Unexpected (10)
I looked at the picture in his hand, the same old man I had given him Rebic. Younis took a few steps towards Krzhakov and handed the photo to him.
"Take a look. Maybe you know him? The old guy said.
Krzhakov looked at the old guy and then at the photo, but did not pick it up. Apparently he was hesitant, and it was obvious that he didn't want to continue the matter, and even less to get involved with the old fellow Eunice.
"What? Don't you want to know who this man is? The old fellow withdrew his hand, "Judging by this man's age, he is about the same age as me, and probably older." I think that since he can shoot him, he must have dealt with me. The old guy said and shook his head, "But I can't remember it for a while, but I always felt that this man had something to do with our time in the United States." After saying that, he looked at Krzhakov and continued: "The most important thing is, for you, what do you think this person will do to you in the future?" β
Krzhakov was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, walked past the old guy and took the photo in his hand.
The few of us went back upstairs, and Krzhakov took the picture and looked at it under a lamp by the couch. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't think I've seen this person either." Maybe Kudrya knows, hehe. But he's dead and can't help you. β
Hearing this, I feel that the atmosphere is about to change for the worse. But the old guy was different from what I thought, he sat down on the sofa, and when he heard Krzhakov's words, he immediately said: "You mean, this person may be the one who plotted against Kudrya?" β
Krzhakov looked at the photo again and said, "I didn't say that. I just think that if this guy was in the United States and was in charge of dealing with us, then I think it's more likely that Kudrya knew him. But it's useless to talk about that now. He's dead, isn't he? β
"He did die. But I talked to him before he died. The old guy said as he pulled it out of his body, taking out his old notebook and a pair of glasses, "I'm old. You should have the experience. β
Krzhakov looked at the old guy's appearance, smiled noncommittally and did not speak, just waiting for the old guy's words.
The old fellow Younis looked up at Krzhakov after looking at his notebook and said: "Kurdria had something to say to me at that time... β
Hearing the old guy talk about this, Krzhakov was clearly interested. Although at the moment he is still nonchalant. But I know he cares about that, because when I was in the car, this guy asked me about the conversation between the old guy Younis and Kudrya.
"He said that the traitor, that is, what you have been talking about internal problems, the biggest problem was a man named Rostovsky who was in the embassy at the time. Do you have an impression of the name? The old fellow asked.
"Rostovsky? Just such a name that is difficult in Russia and even in the whole of Eastern Europe? If you ask me if I have any impressions, I'll tell you no, that's a lie. Krzhakov said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Uhhh The old guy shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "That's true... The name is too ordinary. As he spoke, he looked back at his notebook, "But Kudrya has this picture in the documents he left me. As he spoke, he took out the picture and handed it to Krzhakov.
I couldn't see the image on the photo from the angle where Rebic and I were standing, but I just listened to Krzhakov: "These two people are in the picture. One of them is Kudrya? β
"It's Kudrya, and the other person is supposed to be this Rostovsky." The old guy said.
"How can you be sure of that? Do you have proof? "This man is just a side face, and it's a little indistinct." β
The old guy smiled and said, "Don't forget. He was a Soviet and had been working in the United States. There is information that can be found. As he spoke, the old man took out another picture and handed it to Krzhakov.
Krzhakov took the photo and compared the two, and after a moment he said: "It does look a little like it." But what does that mean? It doesn't match this picture of a guy from Berlin. β
"No, no." The old guy nodded, "But what do you mean by sending such a person at such a time?" I forgot to tell you one more thing. That's what Kudrya once told me that this guy named Rostovsky should have a makeover, which means that this person may have undergone plastic surgery and become a different person. β
"Yes... Hearing what the old guy said, Krzhakov looked down at the photo again, "Then if that's the case, this person. . . It is likely that he was lurking in Russia for some time after... β
"Why do you say that?" The old fellow was immediately interested when he heard Krzhakov say it in such an affirmative tone, and immediately asked, "Do you know something?" β
Krzhakov sneered while looking at the photo and said: "It's obvious, why did he have plastic surgery?" β
"Fear of reprisals. What Kudrya said at the time... Halfway through the old guy's words, Krzhakov waved his hand and said, "Retaliation. Hehe. Who will retaliate? Even those bastards in Kurdriya were killed by you more than ten years later, and he would be afraid of your revenge for such a person? β
"This γγγγγ" The old guy seemed to agree with Krzhakov's statement.
"This man must have something more important. He knows Russia and knows and even knows a lot of people in Russia. What was Russia like at that time? It's already stormy, and it's a good opportunity. But Kudrya's apostasy, our downfall, and the other people who have happened one after another, must have faced scrutiny. To be on the safe side, it would be better to let this man change his face and return to Russia to continue his mission. After Krzhakov finished speaking, he handed the photo back to the old fellow, and after Younis took it, he continued: "I have obtained some information. It is said that more than a decade ago, when the United States sent a large number of personnel to Russia for a period of time in order to instigate rebellion and promote the disintegration of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. β
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Can the timing be right? I mean, what we're talking about now. The old fellow asked.
"Of course." Krzhakov nodded and said, "I've read a lot of materials. You know our line of work isn't like in the 007 movies, with a gun in one hand and a woman in the other. More often than not, what accompanies us is the information and... He said, pointing to the old man's hand, and said, "There is also a notebook and a pen." And the reason why I remember this clearly is because the time is not far from after our accident. That is, in half a year. β
