"Isn't that guy, Rostovsky, appearing at this time? He got this for you? D asked.

Smalling turned to look at D, smiled, and said, "Looks like you're a bastard like to take advantage of people's dangers, just like that guy." ”

D chuckled and continued, "He must have found you through your sister's business, right?" ”

"Yes. That's right. Perhaps the mistake Chebkina made was not accidental. They were looking for something targeted, and maybe they knew that Chebkina had an older brother in the sixth game. Smalling said.

"Didn't you ask him?" I was puzzled and asked, "Or did you ask him but didn't answer it at all?" ”

"Didn't ask." Smalling shook his head, "I don't want to have too much contact with him. If I could, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him. ”

"And what did you do for him?" D asked again.

Hearing this, Smalling thought for a moment and said, "You know only one of them. But it's the most urgent and the most important. The others are relatively simple compared to these. But it's all about my duties. At that time, I was mainly responsible for supervising research projects that obtained information from abroad. All sorts of things, from crops to conventional weapons to aircraft missiles and even chemical weapons. To say that it is to obtain is nothing more than our own statement, but in fact it is to steal or steal. Therefore, these things can't be used at all after they are bustled, they are all bits and pieces or even only some data samples, so they have to organize their own scientists and researchers to carry out restoration research. I'm going to do the work of supervising them, counter-infiltration, counter-espionage. The guy would often ask me what important projects I had recently and what they were working on. I think he is using me to counter-espionage, after all, as long as they know what has been obtained here and what projects have been launched, they can compare the projects of the United States to see if there are any similarities or the same, so as to determine which project or institution there are loopholes and dangers that they do not know about. ”

"So what do you know about him? I think you've seen him. Do you know anything from him? D asked.

"Understood?" Smalling asked rhetorically and then continued: "First of all, this guy is a Russian. That's for sure. But he was a traitor. As if he didn't make it clear what he meant, he quickly explained, "I mean, he's not like me, or like the guy who was killed to cover him, he did treason for some reason." He's not, he's like a Yankee in the skin of a Russian, he's determined, he doesn't hesitate, he can even be described as brilliant. I don't know how there could be such a person, but he was like that, as if he was born to betray his own country in order to lurk in the USSR. ”

"How do you know for sure? I mean, he was Russian, just by what he was working at the time, how he looked, his accent? D asked.

"Huh." Smalling smiled and said, "This guy didn't know what was wrong with him once, maybe something touched him, and he himself talked to me when we met. From his words, it is clear that his childhood and even adolescence were spent in Russia. I didn't care at the time, I just thought if this guy was doing something wrong, or acting. But then I think about it, it's not like it, and it's hard to express that feeling if you haven't experienced it yourself. Unfortunately, he only had this once. I never had a chance to hear him talk about his own life after that. ”

"That is, Andrei? Dimitri? Is Rostovsky the real name? Not a pseudonym he used for his job or whatever? D continued.

"Yes. That's for sure. It is impossible for him to use a pseudonym. That's for sure. Smalling said.

"Then why can't I find this guy's information later?" I immediately asked, "We checked, in fact, I knew about Rostovsky before that, but I never found anything about it." ”

"Huh." Smalling didn't seem surprised or surprised at what I said, he looked at me and said, "You still don't understand his value. He smiled again after speaking, "Why was I forced to defect?" Ran out of the USSR and became an Englishman? Isn't this to cover him? I am among the enemy, and I am the enemy. At a time when I'm getting things out of here, there are people as far away as the United States who are doing something similar. Gradually, we were being targeted, maybe earlier, but I didn't even realize it. Plus the guy I killed, although this guy is silent and no threat, it also indicates that there is a rat here that has not yet been discovered. ”

"And then you're checked?" D asked.

"Yes. I found myself being targeted. I was taken away for questioning, of course, they didn't have any evidence, but in my opinion, the scope of suspicion was already very small, and they had already targeted me and a few others. Smalling said and sighed, "It's only a matter of time before it's discovered." There are always traces of what people have done, especially in this kind of place, dealing with those people. Even if we don't have problems here, it is difficult to ensure that there is any information and loopholes found in other places, such as the United States. ”

"Did they find it?" D asked.

"Nope." Smalling shook his head, "At least until I leave, although we are not free of suspicion, there is still no evidence. ”

"Then why did you leave? Isn't that tantamount to admitting? I asked, puzzled.

Without waiting for Smalling to speak, he said: "This must be some big move by this Mr. Rostovsky, right?" For the sake of safety, you must be allowed to leave, and by the way, to divert your attention. ”

"Huh. Exactly. Smalling smiled and nodded, "I think so." In order not to implicate my younger siblings, I also deliberately created a disaster and made myself disappear. Rostovsky helped me a lot in this matter. A car accident and hit the bridge. The body could not be found, and there was no evidence of death. Then I went to England, changed my name, and became what I am now. And the reason why you can't find him is actually very simple, he didn't disappear and evacuated, but still has a mission, and someone must have deliberately destroyed the things and materials related to him. At that time, the Soviet Union was infiltrating the Yankees, and in fact, it was also full of holes, and nothing was strange when the storm was stormy. ”

"Do you know what they're doing?" I asked.

"I don't know." Smalling shook his head, "But this guy has been preparing something. As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, yes. The last words he said to me were ... Don't worry, no Soviets will come to you in the future. ”

"Face to face?" D asked.

"How is that possible? I was still suspicious. How could someone like him still meet me? It was on the phone, it was like saying goodbye, and I had been working with him for several years, even though I didn't know much about him. ”

"So... Do you know his code name or the name of his project or something? D asked.

Smalling shook his head and said, "No." I haven't heard of it. There were no code names between us, and no plans were spoken. ”

D nodded and continued, "Chameleon, or 90 have you heard of it?" ”

"Chameleon? No.... I haven't heard of it. It's 90 ... Smalling frowned and thought for a while: "90 plan?" ”

"Do you know about the 90 Plan?!" I immediately asked
