The search operation carried out across the city achieved results in the evening. The hunchbacked old man wearing a black tweed coat was caught by a patrol led by Samoilov.

The old man didn't expect that the large-scale operation launched in the city was targeted at him, so he had to surrender before he could even resist.

When the old man was taken to Sokov, he pretended to be pitiful and said, "Comrade Commander, what's going on? Why did you catch me here? I think something must have been made wrong, right?"

Fortunately, when Sokov got the news that the old man was arrested, he called Kester and asked him to bring the policeman who had seen the old man to recognize him. Hearing the old man's quibbling, Sokov turned his head and asked the policeman standing aside: "Is it him?"

The policeman stepped forward and looked at the old man carefully, nodded vigorously, and replied in a positive tone: "Yes, Comrade Commander, it's him."

"Thank you, comrade police. There is nothing you have to do here, you can go back." Sokov sent the police away and looked at the old man and asked, "Your name and mission."

"Comrade Commander," the old man felt that Sokov had no evidence, so he pretended to be confused: "My name is Sergei, and I am a resident of this city. I followed the residents who returned to the city after I learned that our army had recaptured this city and returned to this city. If you want to ask me what mission I have, I can only answer you, and I will work with others to rebuild the city."

Sokov sneered twice, then asked, "Sergei, please tell me why you put your own ration certificate into Avdiev's pocket?"

"Who is Avjeev? I don't know." Sergey insisted, "How could I put my rationing certificate into the pocket of a stranger."

"Avdiev is the thief you identified." Kester, who was standing behind Sokov, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I say that, you should know who it is, right?"

"So it was him." Sergei pretended to be enlightened and said, "That's right, I found that my rationing certificate was lost. I immediately remembered that he had hit me, and I suspected that he had stole my rationing certificate, so I found the police. After searching, my rationing certificate was really found from him."

"Where is your rationing certificate? Take it out and show me."

"Okay, Comrade Commander, I'll show you right away." Sergei took out a brown wallet from his arms, opened it, took out a rationing certificate from it, and placed it respectfully on the table in front of Sokov.

Sokov only glanced at the rationing certificate, but did not pick it up. He said coldly: "Your rationing certificate looks pretty neat and should be well kept."

"Of course," seeing that Sokov didn't look at his rationing certificate, Sergei hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the rationing certificate and put it back in his wallet. "I usually put the rationing certificate in my wallet."

"You usually put the rationing certificate in your wallet. I want to ask, how did Avjeev steal the rationing certificate from your wallet?"

The old man realized that he might have missed it, so he quickly defended himself: "Maybe I was in a hurry to buy things, so I took out the ratio certificate in advance. Unexpectedly, when the thief saw it, he deliberately hit me and stole the ratio certificate from me."

"You are lying." Sokov slapped the table hard and said to Sergei: "I heard from the police officers involved that although you pointed out the people who might steal your rationing certificate, those people are obviously the guise you used. You insisted that Avdev stole your rationing certificate. Even when the police asked for a body search, you actually asked him to search Avdev first, so that the other party's identity was confirmed. Right?"

Sergei was worried that he would say too much and was wrong, so he began to say the same thing: "Comrade Commander, you must have made a mistake. I am not the one you want to arrest. You must have made a mistake..."

"Enough, don't act here." Sokov sneered: "After you were brought here, I have ordered people to search your residence. I believe that it won't take long to get the answer we want."

When he learned that Sokov had sent someone to search his residence, Sergei couldn't help but sweat in a lot of cold sweat. Seeing his reaction, Sokov believed that his speculation was correct, he continued to ask: "Tell me, how did you help a scrapped radio station hide in Avdev's residence? Do you have other accomplices?"

However, no matter how Sokov asked, Sergei was posing as if he was not afraid of boiling water, but he refused to say anything. Seeing that the other party had been silent, Sokov stopped asking, but turned his head and chatted with Kester who was standing behind him for a few words about the situation in the city.

Just as the situation was in awkwardness, Samoilov hurriedly left the manager with a soldier and reported to Sokov excitedly: "Comrade Commander, look, what did I find in his home?" As he said that, he placed a brown suitcase in front of Sokov.

Kester stepped forward and opened it. There was a radio station and supporting antenna, headphones and a transmitter inside. Sokov looked at Sergei and asked coldly: "Sergei, I want to hear your explanation, what are these things used for?"

When things came to this point, Sergei knew that no matter how much he denied it, it would be useless. So he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll call it. Actually, I'm a spy arranged by the Germans in the city. My daily job is to walk around the city to understand your defense situation and send it to the Germans by telegram."

"You damn traitor." Anisimov couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and teach the German spy a lesson, but was stopped by Sokov.

Sokov asked expressionlessly: "Sergey, honestly, who are your accomplices in the soap factory? Is it the deputy factory manager?"

Sergei, who wanted to avoid the important things, was shocked when he heard Sokov's problem. Seeing his expression, if Kester didn't understand what was going on, he, the police chief, could replace him. He quickly said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, I will take someone to arrest the deputy factory director immediately."
