Chapter 66 Accepting Investigation
Except for such a major event, Churbanov and Sergei could not remain indifferent. Although Churbanov was also threatened, he went to the hospital to visit the subordinates who were attacked as soon as he heard the news. When Churbanov arrived at the hospital, the four had already passed away one after another, leaving only cold and blood-stained corpses.
Seryozha looked at the corpse covered by the white sheet, feeling indescribably complicated. If Churbanov had readily accepted the money, there would have been no bloodshed. The purpose of Seryozha's coming here was not noble, and it was selfish to encourage Churbanov to return the spoils, but even so, it was still a just act to investigate and deal with people like Akilov. The only thing Xie Liaosha thinks he is wrong is that he believes too much in the influence of the word son-in-law. Here, relying solely on the title of Mr. Bo's son-in-law is not a panacea. Although they were afraid of Churbanov's backing and did not attack, they still sent threatening bullets.
"Tell everyone not to go out for the next few days, and I will send a batch of body armor as soon as possible from the Ministry. Do you have anything to add, Seryozha?" Churbanov kept asking the secretary. Explaining the things to be done is basically saying what comes to mind, with no rules to follow. The secretary could only write down as fast as he could, and it was not until Churbanov asked Seryozha's opinion that everyone stopped and looked at him.
"If you tell people to wear bulletproof vests to work, then we can't get any more leads. Because that means we totally give up. Do you know what will happen? They will treat us like a show!" Seryozha said viciously.
"But if I don't improve the security measures, what will happen if the opponent attacks again?" Churbanov asked.
"I only know one thing, offense is the best defense!" Seryozha replied.
"What do you want to do?" Churbanov asked again.
"It's very simple, arrest Akilov!" Seryozha said angrily.
"We have no evidence. Besides, arresting him requires the consent of the superior party committee. We have no right to act without authorization!" The secretary reminded everyone with a cautious stance.
"Well then, let's wait for the order from Moscow. Until the order arrives, everyone is locked in a hotel and does nothing! Then wait to be driven back to Moscow by our enemies, and we will have a reputation of weakness from then on. Be a homeless dog for the rest of your life!" Seryozha retorted dissatisfied.
"How can we catch Akilov with just our few people?" Churbanov replied helplessly.
"Then transfer people from other places, anyway, the local armed forces are no longer trustworthy!" Seryozha looked at Churbanov expectantly.
Churbanov hesitated again and again, and finally sided with Seryozha. The secretary wanted to persuade him again, but Churbanov stopped him with his hand, and everyone reluctantly reached a consensus.
Although Seryozha persuaded Churbanov with a few words, he had to prevent such bloodshed from happening again, otherwise Churbanov would never trust him again when something like this happened again. Before Sergesha is deployed, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking again, Sergesha must let the enemy throw a mouse. So Seryozha lifted the sheet covering the corpses, and recorded the wounds on the corpses of the four colleagues with a camera. From the Bogdanov incident, Sergei learned to use the media. The Komsomolskaya Pravda, one of the four major official media, has once again become Serezha's first choice because its brand is large enough and its reporting style tends to be radical.
Seriosha came into contact with the female reporter Damara during the turmoil in Gorky City. Although everyone has been contacting anonymously, both parties have benefited from the last cooperation. The photos below were handed over to the other party through a special channel of the Ministry of the Interior.
In the early morning of the next day, when the Uzbek authorities suppressed yesterday's bloodshed and didn't mention anything in the newspapers, Komsomolskaya Pravda, as far away as Moscow, took the lead in reporting the situation here.
Not only did the photos of the wounds of the four assassinated staff members be published, but also a signed article by Churbanov declaring war on the terrorists was published along with the article.
This fiercely worded and impassioned article was naturally written by Churbanov's secretary. The truth is not important. The important thing is that the Moscow newspaper published this matter. Will the ZZ Bureau be kept in the dark? Moreover, it was proposed by the KGB that members of the investigation team led by the Ministry of the Interior were stabbed to death in the street. This is definitely an insult to the two major security agencies, and it is a slap in the face of Andropov and Sholokov.
Under such circumstances, it would no longer be difficult for Deputy Minister Churbanov, who cared about his subordinates, to ask Moscow for a secret armed force to carry out the arrest.
One night a week later, a troop transferred from Moscow landed at the airport in Tashkent without anyone noticing it. Seryozha asked the troop to enter the urban area of Tashkent disguised as tourists. Then gather secretly in an inconspicuous location. When everything was ready, Seryozha ordered them to go straight to Akilov's estate in the Fergana Valley.
So without the knowledge of the Uzbek party committee, the combat troops sent by the Ministry of the Interior took advantage of the night to attack Akilov's heavily guarded lair and captured this vicious guy alive.
So the next morning, when the citizens of Tashkent left their homes and rushed to work, they found a mighty convoy escorting the kidnapped prisoners passing the main street of the city. The older ones felt as if they had returned to the period of Stalin's purges. The crowd who didn't know the truth watched the convoy drive into the station of the investigation team from Moscow, and the first person to be escorted out was actually Akilov. They all gathered outside the gate of the hotel and started talking.
"Could it be my eyesight? Am I right? Akilov has been arrested!"
"God, someone has finally dealt with this villain. How many people has he killed!"
...
Immediately afterwards, more people were escorted out of the car, and many of them were Akilov's right-hand men! Even most of the staff in the investigation team didn't know what happened. They only knew that the blood of their colleagues was not in vain, and Minister Churbanov didn't let go.
Seryozha led a few people over slowly, and everyone consciously stepped aside. Seryozha went up to Akirov, who was still in his pajamas. Said: "Akilov, we suspect that you are involved in a serious violation of discipline, please come back for investigation!" (To be continued.)
