Far away in Moscow

Chapter 240 Deputy Chief Andre

"What? Where is the phone ringing?" The female policeman was taken aback, then turned her index finger to her lips and shouted in a low voice: "Shh! Don't talk! Be quiet!"

The residents in the hall immediately fell silent, looking around one by one, but they could only hear the skinny policeman turning over and muttering in the distance: "I'm so annoying...Dinglingling...Dinglingling...uh...quiet..."

The female policeman picked up Hu Yi's mobile phone and pressed it twice, dialed the number again, and then signaled the others to keep quiet, while jumping off the table and walking towards the skinny policeman.Hu Yi followed her for a few steps lightly, and vaguely heard the phone ringing from behind an open door.

The female policeman stretched out her hand and opened the door, and the ringtone became clearer.Behind the door is a corridor with several offices on either side.They followed the sound all the way to an office in the deepest part. There was a sign on the door that said "Deputy Director: Andrei Mikhailov". The phone rang from this room.

"Could it be our Andre you're looking for?" The policewoman raised her eyebrows with a smile at Hu Yi, reached out and knocked heavily on the door a few times: "Andre! Are you there? I'm Elena."

No one answered.The female policeman put her ears on the door and listened for a while, then gently turned the doorknob.

The door was unlocked, and she stepped forward, frowning and covering her nose: "I came in... God! It's a nightmare! What's wrong with you... Who is this?!"

Hu Yi hurriedly looked in from behind her, and saw that the spacious office was in a mess, the smell of wine was overwhelming, and there was a glass bottle and several plates of food on a small tea table.

On the old sofa against the wall next to the coffee table, a thin middle-aged man in sportswear was reclining. A chair across from him was lying on the ground. Beside the chair was a little fat man with his head stuck on the ground, his buttocks stuck out, sleeping soundly on the floor. It was Kobayashi.

"Xiao Linzi!" Hu Yi was overjoyed, rushed up to lift up the chair in a few steps, stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Linzi: "Wake up! Damn! I'm still sleeping like hell! Get up quickly! Hey! What's wrong with you?"

The policewoman walked quickly to the window, drew the curtains and opened the window, then returned to the sofa and softly called the middle-aged man: "Andre, why are you here? Get up, Andre!"

The middle-aged man was unconscious. The policewoman shook his head a few times and shouted in his ear: "Andre!!!"

"Ah?" Officer Andre's lips moved, and he spit out a word lightly, and his eyelids barely opened a crack: "Who...Where am I..."

"Where? Your office!" The female policeman laughed angrily, and reached out her hand to greet the round face and others who rushed over after hearing the sound: "Quick, get him some cold water."

Andre finally recovered a little consciousness, but Xiao Linzi was still unconscious.Hu Yi reached out and patted his face vigorously a few times, then shouted into his ear: "Xiao Linzi! Salted fish! Lin Xianyu! Wake up!"

There was still no movement, if Xiao Linzi was not still snoring lightly, Hu Yizhen thought he had died.

After a while, someone brought half a basin of cold water, and everyone jokingly splashed it awake Andre, and Hu Yi also took a handful and poured it on Xiao Linzi's face.

"Hey... yo... yo... I..." Xiao Linzi woke up with a jerk, his eyes rolled a few times with difficulty, he put his hands on the ground, and grinned stiffly: "Brother Hu, why are you... coming…"

"Why did I come here?!" Hu Yi slapped him hard on the back of the head: "You bastard! What are you doing drinking so much wine?"

"Drink...no..." Xiao Linzi looked confused: "did...drink a bar? Well...where are we..."

"Damn, is this broken?" Hu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and helped Xiao Linzi to sit up slowly, only to see that he was wearing trousers and a sweater that were obviously too long, and a large police thin cotton coat on his upper body , must have been provided by Officer Andre.

Officer Andre could barely sit up straight now, the policewoman and the round face supported him from left to right, and they all gloated: "Hey, how much did you drink? How did you get so drunk? "

"How much? Not much." Officer Andre's tongue seemed to have not recovered from the anesthesia of alcohol, and he pointed at a thick glass bottle that was nearly half full on the table: "Just...that..."

"It's only half the bottle like this? Isn't it?" The round face picked up the bottle and brought it to his eyes. There was no label on it, and it looked like a [-]ml glass bottle for hospital infusion.He took off the cork and smelled it for a while, then frowned: "What kind of wine is this! It's so punchy!"

"This...good." Andre leaned crookedly on the female policewoman: "Chief Jima's... self-brewed wine..."

"Jima's home-brewed wine?! It's at least ninety degrees!" Round Face picked up the bottle and shook it twice: "Have you drank most of the bottle?!"

"No...no...and...he! The two of us...together." Andre excitedly pointed to the small forest on the ground, and suddenly saw Hu Yi, and said in a dazed way: "Huh? That...man...is who!"

"I'm looking for you from Moscow!" The round face and the female policeman clarified the ins and outs.

"Ah! It's you!" Andre's eyes widened slightly, he looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and muttered angrily, "It's past twelve o'clock. Why did you come here?"

Police officer Andrei went to a neighboring town yesterday afternoon to participate in a tree climbing competition on the competition day on behalf of Abalensk, successfully defeated his opponent and was able to retreat unscathed.

Competition day is a festival shared by the two towns, and all kinds of confrontation can only be regarded as entertainment. Regardless of the winner or loser, both sides will celebrate the whole day with lively banquets.

After winning the victory, Andre stayed for a while, drank a few glasses of wine with his fellow police officers in neighboring towns, and then drove home drunk.After checking the situation over the phone, he put a coat on the shivering Xiao Linzi, planning to take him back to the town and wait for Hu Yi to pick him up.

However, as a local who grew up in Abalensk since he was a child, he is well versed in the customs of the town, which is respected as a traditional game day, and he also knows that the villagers will definitely not let the outsiders who visited today easily after drinking.In order not to cause trouble, he sneaked Xiao Linzi to his office as soon as he returned to the town, and then went to the town square alone to participate in the celebration.

In Abalensk, the importance of the competition day can be compared with the New Year.Officer Andre soon got very drunk, and didn't realize that there was another person locked in his office until he received a call from Hu Yi at eight o'clock.

Hu Yi made an appointment with him to arrive in an hour and a half, so he had fun with everyone in the square until 09:30, and then he searched around for a few plates of food, and went back to the office to wait for him to pick them up when no one was paying attention.

Xiao Linzi had been starving for a long time, and when he took the plate into his arms, he devoured it hungrily.Andre wanted to chat with him to relieve boredom, but Xiao Linzi couldn't understand Russian shit, no matter what he said, he just stared at his round eyes and shook his head in a daze.

Andre felt bored for a while, and after sitting for a while, he was greedy for wine again, so he took out the self-brewed wine given to him by the director from the cabinet, and put two wine glasses to drink with Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi has a good capacity for alcohol, and he is not small in spirits.He couldn't understand Andre's introduction, so he raised his cup and smelled it. He thought it was ordinary vodka, so he drank it carelessly, and thanked Andre sincerely while drinking.

Unexpectedly, the self-brewed wine was extremely strong, when Xiao Linzi first drank it, he only felt it was hot, and after not drinking much, he tilted his body and fell to the ground unconscious.

Andre was already half-drunk, but relying on his capacity for alcohol, he laughed at Xiao Linzi loudly while pouring himself crookedly, and soon passed away.The two just fell asleep in the office like this. Hu Yi called several times but had no response, and it was not until everyone came to wake them up.
