Chapter 195: Car Accident Suspicion

After Shlokov was dismissed from his position, Churbanov, who was supposed to be promoted by replacement, also suffered. He was assigned to the position of director of the Political Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to wait for disposal. [Full text reading] Although he was not fired, Churbanov was under a lot of pressure.

As the direct cause of the failure, Churbanov had already explained the issue of the gold watch to the KGB at the beginning, and this matter was entirely his secretary's idea. Churbanov was very excited when he mentioned this matter. He said to the KGB agent who came to question him: "Do you know the relationship between Minister Shlokov and me? His son Igor matched me and President Bo I met my daughter, and Minister Xiaoluokov was the witness of my wedding. I have been living under the wing of his old man for so many years. It is largely because of his blessing that I can have my current status. We get along with each other It’s like a family member. Do you think I would be rude to buy him a gift for his 70th birthday with public funds?”

"Sorry, we only deal with the facts." The KGB investigator responded coldly.

"The fact is that I gave Kalinin 4000 rubles to help me prepare a gift, but he bought the stolen goods that were lost in the state treasury without telling me, and later reimbursed the money from the account of the Ministry of the Interior, Do you think I will worry about what I am reimbursed every month?" Churbanov explained emotionally.

"Churbanov, your name is written in black and white on the account books of the Ministry of the Interior. You can't afford to let this matter go. Why don't you cooperate and cooperate with us!" the investigator persuaded.

"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?" Churbanov asked contemptuously.

"For example, tell us something you know or have heard about your boss Shlokov! For example, have you heard of Shlokov's treatment of the former First Secretary of the Belarusian Party Committee Peter Mironovi? What did Chi Masherov say?" the investigator asked Churbanov inducing.

"What do you mean?" Churbanov asked warily.

"Don't you remember? Just three years ago, Masherov's special car collided with a vehicle transporting potatoes. Masherov died on the spot. It was later confirmed that the vehicle carrying potatoes belonged to the border guards of your Ministry of the Interior, and later You are also responsible for the investigation of the car accident! We would like to ask you to recall again, did Xiaoluokov say anything to you before and after the accident?" the investigator asked.

Churbanov didn't know how to speak at this time. Just as the other party said, he was in charge of the investigation of the Masherov car accident. Taking it out, this made Churbanov very embarrassed.

Who is Masherov? He was the first secretary of Belarus, and from 1965 until his death, Masherov was the de facto leader of the party and government of Belarus. before his death,

He is highly expected by many people, and many comrades in the party regard him as Brezhnev's successor, not Andropov. But it was such a promising political star who unexpectedly died in an inexplicable car accident, which made many people doubt the authenticity of the car accident. And it just so happened that the car that killed Masherov belonged to the Ministry of the Interior, which made people wonder.

"Maselov's death was indeed an accident. There was nothing wrong with my investigation!" Churbanov replied after a moment of silence.

"That's not right! The place where the accident happened is a fully closed highway, and the other party is the general secretary of Belarus. Shouldn't your Ministry of the Interior block the road? Why are there vehicles still on the road?" The investigator asked sharply.

"The nearby villagers took the trouble to remove the guardrail and built a simple ramp that can be driven up. What's so strange?" Churbanov replied.

"Then what happened to the loss of the truck driver's autopsy report after the accident?" the investigators were asking.

"I don't know!" Churbanov said truthfully.

"You don't know? Then you don't know that the driver of the truck was once a gardener hired by the Ministry of the Interior, and he was responsible for taking care of the gardens of your cadres above the deputy ministerial level?" the investigators asked.

"What are you implying?" Churbanov asked.

"What do you mean? We suspect that Shlokov planned all of this. This is a murder, and what role did you play in it!" The other party directly pointed out his purpose.

"You are spitting blood!" Churbanov slapped the table and stood up, pointing at the other person's nose and cursing.

"Churbanov, why are you so arrogant? Are you guilty? You know what you have done!" The other party replied rudely.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Let me tell you. I admit to the gold watch. There is absolutely no such thing. You don't want to use me to pour dirty water on Minister Xiaoluokov. Let me tell you, it can't be done. !” After Churbanov finished speaking, he overturned the table.

The interrogation finally ended in a quarrel, and Churbanov still refused to implicate Shlokov. The investigators were also helpless against him. After all, Churbanov couldn't be sentenced to a few years with just a 4000 ruble watch.

After questioning Churbanov, Churbanov was taken out of the room. Now Churbanov has not been suspended, but his position has changed. But Churbanov could still feel that he was being watched all the time. The investigators who stayed in the room and were in charge of questioning just now gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"I think this Churbanov doesn't cry when he sees the coffin, but he is the son-in-law of Mr. Bo after all, so we can't do anything to him!" said an investigator.

"Who says no? But this kid is the person in charge of the case. If the conspiracy behind Masherov's car accident is exposed, then we will make a lot of money!" Someone imagined.

"Don't think about it, he was single-handedly picked up by Xiaoluokov, how could he betray his benefactor!" Someone said helplessly.

"Churbanov didn't betray Shlokov, so what about Churbanov's subordinates? Is it possible to betray Churbanov?" An investigator who had been meditating suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him puzzled.

The investigator suddenly took out a photo from Churbanov's file, pointed at Sergei next to Churbanov in the photo, and said, "Look, this man, Ulyanov! Now he has joined our Secretary An, but in the past he was a close friend of Churbanov, and Churbanov called him whenever he went to Uzbekistan, so he must know a lot about Churbanov!"
