Since Andropov came to power, a series of reform measures have been introduced one after another. Among them was the behavior of the police taking to the streets to check work discipline, which caused a lot of criticism. Mr. An quickly canceled this unpopular policy and adopted some more flexible measures. For example, it is stipulated that alcoholic beverages can only be sold after 12 o'clock, which largely limits the occurrence of certain alcoholics going to work drunk. Andropov was well aware of the importance of oil and vodka to the country. He once had a famous saying that eating soup without drinking is either a fool or a fool. Therefore, Andropov did not intend to carry out a prohibition campaign like the former General Secretary Brezhnev. On the contrary, he also lowered the price of a cheap vodka, which is now affectionately called Andro. povka.

But these things are not at the same level as Mr. An's crackdown on corruption. Not long ago, the news that two senior officials were shot dead made those ordinary people who hated corruption feel really relieved. Many people believed that Andropov was a great figure comparable to Peter the Great and Stalin.

So under the influence of this kind of opinion among the people, the KGB investigation team sent to Tashkent received a snowflake of countless reports just as soon as they got off the plane. This is the same as what Churbanov came here to investigate a year ago The situation is quite different. Because everyone believes that this time Andropov is not just talking, he is serious.

In the first few days of my arrival, just reading these report letters consumed all the energy of the staff of the investigation team. It was the first time for these KGB cadres from Moscow to come to the republic on the border of the motherland. The content of the report letter made them feel so heart-wrenching that they couldn't even believe that this thing would happen in the 20th century. Many even included photos of the many official residences, which were huge and luxuriously decorated, just like the castles of the nobles in the Tsarist era.

Hassan, who accepted Seryozha's order, also followed him like a shadow. Hassan has a Central Asian face, which is not unusual in Uzbekistan. Along with Hassan were several of his confidantes in Moscow. A group of people rented a house around the hotel where the investigation team stayed, and began to monitor everyone who came in and out. Once the investigation team left the hotel, Hassan's men would follow their whereabouts. Hassan and the others will try their best to report the investigation team's every move here to Sergei in Moscow.

In Moscow, Seryozha selected a few reliable people from among the members of the old Gorky gang. Their only task was to keep an eye on the insiders of the border guards. If anything is wrong, report it to Sergei immediately.

Seryozha hadn't bothered to worry about other issues these days. He kept inquiring about the gossip in the official circle, and the progress of the news in the newspaper was also the news that Seryozha must read every day. To his surprise, the caviar case, which was about to come to an end, involved another big case. The Black Sea Fleet and Baltic Fleet of the Red Navy colluded with the Soviet Ministry of Commerce to smuggle cars, household appliances and other commodities from abroad. A large number of officials were again implicated. This matter had nothing to do with Seryozha, but soon it was reported from the officialdom that the Foreign Minister Gromyko, who has always been a good official, and the Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Grishin, were involved.

Seryozha was in the officialdom, and his sources of news were far wider than those of ordinary people. People of Grishin and Gromyko's level would not be held accountable anyway. Officials in the Soviet Union gave full play to their wisdom and imagination, using the power granted by the state to make huge profits for themselves. Many states often sent a large number of officials to prisons where class enemies were once held because of one case. People were expelled from the party every day in Pravda, and the trend was threatening to spread throughout the country.

The situation has never been so tense,

The opponent Seryosha is facing now is the KGB brought out by Andropov. With as many as 100,000 employees, it is the most efficient intelligence organization in the world. In the face of such a powerful opponent, Seriosha has no power to fight back. He has decided to stop all domestic illegal businesses and only keep overseas branches to maintain operations. He is glad that he did not put all his chips in the country. .

As the situation deteriorated, those guys who used to drive nice cars, live in luxury houses and live enviable lives became eye-catching targets. It was Chernenko of the Leningrad Branch of the KGB. A little person who could have decided the life and death of Seryozha, but now he is insignificant.

Chernenko made a lot of money from Serezha, and later returned to Leningrad because of his meritorious service. Chernenko has since lived a luxurious life that does not match his income. Every day, he drives an imported car that he should not be able to afford to commute to get off work. He is very particular about food and clothing, and lives in a luxurious apartment in Leningrad. In the Brezhnev era, no one would worry about these things at all. At most, everyone complained enviously, "That guy is really lucky!". Now it's all turned into Chernenko's nightmare.

The report letter about Chernenko was quickly submitted to the whistleblowing system within the KGB. Unsurprisingly, Chernenko became the object of the investigation. He could not explain where his extravagant life came from, and Chernenko could only respond in silence.

"Dude, you've been trained, you know our tricks! We don't want to do it all over again!" the investigator threatened Chernenko.

"Ask you again, this is your car, this is your house, even if you work until you retire, you won't be able to earn so much! Tell us, where does your money come from!" The other party asked sharply .

Chernenko still bowed his head and remained silent. He had already decided that he was going to die to the end, so what if he went to prison. I still have savings overseas. As long as the wife and children go abroad, the money is enough for them to live a comfortable life, Chernenko chooses to sacrifice himself for the family.

"Chernenko, I know what you think. But you really underestimate people, and I don't like it. Since you are so ignorant, I don't have to be polite to you. I heard that your wife is not in good health. Arranged a good place for him, the psychiatric hospital under your branch, I can also let your daughter go to accompany him..." An older voice said.

Chernenko slowly raised his head, his lips trembled, his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he was so helpless.
