Chapter 110 The Lost 1964 (47)
After Tang Feng read this, he smiled at Han Jiang: "This is all for you, the love letter written by the female agent is not nasty."

"Fart! This is not a love letter, you continue to read." Han Jiang shouted.

Tang Feng put away his smiling face, forcibly cheered up, and continued to read...

After Tang Feng and Han Jiang left Petersburg, Yelena worked hard to settle Ilyukin's situation. After Ivanov was buried, Yelena finally had time to complete the homework assigned by Han Jiang before leaving.

Yelena found the file obtained by Ivanov again, and began to investigate one by one the KGB agents who were in charge of protecting Misha. Although she did not expect much from such an investigation, she still did it meticulously. Entered the names of the agents that appeared in my computer, and then began to eliminate them one by one. This is not a small project. There are a total of 46 agents who have participated in the protection of Misha. Of course, this does not include the lost 1964 .

According to the habit of the Russians, the names left by the agents on the report are only the initials of their own name and father's name, plus the surname, which brought a lot of trouble to Yelena's investigation. She didn't know The full names of these people, if they are acquaintances, celebrities or people they know, then such names are easy to recognize, but Yelena has never dealt with these people, and the KGB has long since ceased to exist. Many years have passed, and most of these agents Most of the people don't know where they are going. Some died, some retired at home, some settled abroad, and some were imprisoned.

With Yelena's strength alone, it is almost impossible to settle this matter in a short period of time, but she does not want to alarm more people, all of this must be done in a state of secrecy, in case the black hand behind the scenes is really Among the 46 people... she can't startle the snake!In desperation, Yelena had no choice but to ask Ilyukin. When Ilyukin saw Yelena, he sneered and said, "Why, what else do you need to ask me?"

"Yes, of course, you can be regarded as my predecessor in any way."

"Well, although reason tells me that I shouldn't help you, I still can't refuse your request. Tell me what's going on first."

"It's very simple. I'm just doing a routine investigation, investigating the agents who protected the ghost Misha back then. I think you should understand why I did this."

"Hmph! Of course I understand. It was your Chinese lover who asked you to do this again? He doubted our seniors? Only they would think so, Chinese people! Why didn't Han Jiang find clues from them , Do they think that the real behind-the-scenes are among those old secret agents who have served our country for half their lives?"

Ilyukin said so much in one breath, Yelena stared at him and listened silently, until Ilyukin finished speaking, Yelena said: "I said it was just a routine investigation, you think too much, Now that you have understood what I mean, I hope you keep it a secret for me, and don't let other people know. Here! This is the list."

Ilyukin took a list printed out by Yelena, and quickly browsed through it. When Ilyukin's small gray eyes browsed to the back of the list, he stopped, "There is him?" Ilyukin said. murmured.

"Who are you talking about? Is there anyone you know here?" Yelena asked.

Obviously, Ilyukin must have found something on the list, but Ilyukin replied to Yelena: "It's nothing, I seem to know someone, but the people on your list don't have full names, so I can't be sure." Jin stopped and stared at the list again, then put the list on the desk, smiled at Yelena, and said, "Don't worry! I will use all my strength to get it done in the fastest time." , Of course, don't be idle, let's meet here in three days."

For three days, Yelena mobilized all her contacts, and only found out the whereabouts of two agents. She visited these two retired agents, but found nothing. One was drinking and doing nothing all day long, and the other was lying in a hospital bed On the bed, the oxygen tube is being inserted, struggling with the god of death.

Three days later, Yelena came to Ilyukin's office as agreed, and Ilyukin saw Yelena's disappointment at a glance, and he smiled at Yelena: "How is it? What did you find?"

"Almost nothing. What about you?"

"I have gained something. I have figured out most of the people on this list."

"Oh?" Yelena couldn't believe it, she stared blankly at Ilyukin, "When did your work efficiency become so high?"

"Hehe, that's because you underestimated me before. Let's put it this way, among the 46 people, two are still working for the Federal Security Agency."

"What is their current rank?" Yelena was startled, she thought of the "general" Tymoshin mentioned.

"Military rank? Why don't you ask them about their positions, neither of them have been promoted, and they are only colonels when they are about to retire." Ilyukin said with a sigh.

"Colonel!" Yelena's heart that had just been raised fell back to its original place.

Ilyukin continued to introduce: "I still know these two people, and one of them is very familiar with me, so I followed them through the vines, and basically investigated clearly. Among the remaining 44 people, 5 people are now retired at home, and 7 people are retired. After leaving the KGB, they were employed by various security companies, 3 are now working in other government departments, 3 are in business, 4 are in prison, 6 are now residing abroad, 1 is dying in the hospital, and of course, 13 Man has gone to God."

Yelena quickly wrote down the figures counted by Ilyukin on a piece of paper, and after a little calculation, she frowned and said, "Two less?"

"Yes, because I didn't find any information about those two people, and none of the people I interviewed knew these two people, and no one knew where they were now? How is the current situation? Of course, it was mainly due to time constraints. If you give me a few more days, I promise to investigate everyone."

"Which two?"

Ilyukin looked down at his notebook and announced the two names: "N. D. Stenov, V. A. Isakov."

Yelena memorized these two names, then remembered something, and asked Ilyukin again: "Did you check the person you said you seemed to know last time? Which of the two colonels is it?"

Ilyukin shook his head, "No! It's not the two colonels who are still serving. The surnames of the two colonels are very common, so when I looked at the list last time, I didn't recognize them immediately. Last time I said it seemed The one I knew was at the bottom of the list. His surname is not common, so I recognized it at a glance, but I was not completely sure at the time. It was the Brening who protected Misha in 65-66. His full name is Andrei Grigorievich Braynin."

"Brenning? 65-66 years? This Brening may know the agent who protected Misha in 1964. Isn't this the person I'm looking for?" Thinking of this, Yelena couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Ilyukin added: "When I first entered the KGB, this old guy was my immediate boss. Later, he retired. I heard that he is now living alone in a villa in the suburbs for the elderly. That's all."

"Oh! His rank before retirement was..."

"It's a major general! I remember clearly that he was promoted to major general before Makarov, and then retired not long after."

"General?" Yelena's heart sank when she heard that Breining was also a general.

"What? Is there something wrong with him?"

Yelena looked at Ilyukin, pondered for a while, and then said to Ilyukin: "When Tymoshin was running away, he mentioned that he was a 'general' and said that we were no match for the 'general'."

"That's why you're so sensitive to the word 'general'. Come on, as far as I know, Braining hasn't left Petersburg since he retired. He has been living in that small villa in the suburbs, growing vegetables every day, reading books, and Time, his children only go to see him on Sundays, other than that, he hardly contacts other people, especially the former KGB people, which is quite similar to Makarov. Besides, he is so old, why? Could it be the mastermind behind the scenes?" Ilyukin sneered at Yelena's suspicion.

Yelena shook her head, "I don't know either. Anyway, I have to visit this old general. How about it? Are you interested in accompanying me?"

"Please forgive me, do you know? When this Brenning was my leader, he disliked me the most, so I got a headache whenever I saw him. He was much better than Makarov at that time. I didn't know that I was trained by him How many times! Besides, it is not certain whether you will see him or not?"

"why?"

"I don't want to say, he didn't see the KGB people. Some of his old colleagues and subordinates went to see him, but he turned him away, let alone you. It is said that he is getting more and more weird now, with a temper It's getting bigger and bigger, I don't want to provoke this stubborn old man."

After hearing this, Yelena already had a preliminary understanding of Brenin, she got up and said to Ilyukin: "Well, I will try it myself. Also, please send me all the information about this investigation. In the mailboxes of these people, especially the recent situation of these people, which countries do they live in abroad? What units do they still work in? Where do those who retire at home live? Where are those in prison now? Yes, I also want to know their cemetery?"

"You have so many demands, I will do my best!" Ilyukin frowned, got up and sent Yelena away.

Yelena waited for another two days, and Ilyukin sent over the detailed information of the investigation. After Yelena studied it carefully, she excluded one by one from the last year in 1988. On the list of 46 people, there was absolutely no need to doubt it Cross out, and put a question mark on those that need further verification. One by one, Yelena discovered some patterns. Generally, two agents are in charge of protecting Misha at the same time, and sometimes there are three agents. Each agent is responsible for the number of years of protecting Misha. Most of them are two years, but there are also those who have only worked for one year. Before the beginning of spring every year, at least one agent is usually replaced.Yelena kept looking, and finally, the pencil in her hand stopped on Breining who was in charge of protecting Misha from 1965 to 1966.

Brenning was the only one who was promoted to general among all 46 people, and he was the agent who was in charge of protecting Misha from 1965 to 1966. What shocked Yelena even more was that the two agents who had no investigation results——Ni D. Stenov and V. A. Isakov, these two names also appeared in the 1965 report, among which V. A. Isakov’s name not only appeared in the report at the beginning of 1965, but also Appeared in most of the reports in 1963, and did not appear after the spring of 1965. This shows that this Isakov was responsible for protecting Misha from 1963 to the beginning of 1965. If he can be found, he should be able to uncover the The lost year of 1964, but he... Thinking of this, Yelena put a big question mark on the two names of N. D. Stenov and V. A. Isakov, and then put a big question mark on Brenning A circle was drawn heavily on his name.

The severe winter has not subsided, and Yelena is driving her "Fiat" carefully on the snow-covered country road outside Petersburg. She is going to visit the eccentric and reclusive General Breining.While driving, Yelena was still thinking about how to ask Brainin. The bad road conditions greatly slowed down her speed. It took her more than three hours to enter the forest. There were a large variety of villas on the edge of the forest. The small villa of General Brenning was in the depths of an extremely remote forest. The road turned into a muddy mud road. highway.

After Yelena drove along this bumpy road for another hour, a large meadow suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, a meadow in a big forest!Yelena saw that, not far away, where the meadows and forests met, there was Braining's villa standing alone.

Yelena parked the car in front of the villa, touched the pistol on her body, jumped out of the car, took a big breath of fresh air in the countryside, and then carefully looked at the villa in front of her. The villa built of logs, although a bit old-fashioned, is very neat and tidy. In the several sheds around the villa, there are some vegetables carefully planted by the owner of the villa. In short, everything here seems to be neat.Seeing this, Yelena couldn't connect the owner here with the mastermind behind the series of conspiracies.

"Is anyone there?" Yelena walked up the steps and knocked on the white wooden door wrapped in birch bark, but there was no movement inside the door.

Yelena called several times in a row, but there was still no answer from the door. Just when Yelena was confused, she suddenly felt something strange behind her, and she turned around abruptly. Behind her, an old man with white hair was standing behind him at some point. Under the steps, he was staring at Yelena with gloomy eyes.

The sudden appearance of the old man really shocked Yelena. After she had recovered from the shock, she looked at the old man in front of her. The old man was slightly bent, but his eyes were piercing. Leaning on a shovel, without a coat, and wearing only a gray woolen sweater, "This should be the old general Breining." Thinking of this, Yelena walked down the stairs with a smile on her face, and followed her thoughts on the way. Then he asked, "Are you the old general Breining?"

"Who are you?" Brenning asked with a sullen face.

"Do you remember Makarov? Ivan Petrovich Makarov?"

"Makarov! Of course, we worked together in the past. After I retired, I heard that he also became a general?"

"Yes, but he has retired long ago. I am Makarov's daughter. This time, my father asked me to visit you. You can call me 'Elena'."

"Yelena?" Breining was also looking at Yelena, "Then please come to the room!" Breining sent out the invitation, but Yelena still couldn't see a smile on Breining's face.

There was a fire in the room, and it was warm. Yelena entered the room, and as soon as she sat down, Breining said, "Girl, tell the truth, who are you?"

Yelena was shocked, "I... I am Makarov's daughter!"

"Hehe, as far as I know, Makarov has only one son, where is his daughter? Besides, don't forget what I do. No matter how you cover up, you still can't escape my eyes. I advise you to say truth."

Seeing that her well-designed lie had been exposed, Yelena had to admire Brenin's eyes. She pondered for a while, then took out her ID and explained, "I didn't mean to deceive you. That's right, Makarov is There is only one son, but Victor is dead, Makarov and I are like father and daughter, I am Major Yelena of the Federal Security Service."

Brenning didn't look at Yelena's ID, and his face became even more gloomy, "Don't you know that I have never seen anyone from the KGB since I retired?"

"I know, but I have to come to you."

"why?"

"To ask you about two people." Yelena cut to the chase.

"Which two people?" Brenning still looked gloomy.

"N. D. Stenov and V. A. Isakov."

When Breining heard these two names, his eyebrows moved slightly, and this slight change did not escape Yelena's eyes. "Why do you want to inquire about these two people?" Breining calmed down and asked again.

"That's right, the two of them are unfortunately involved in a case I'm in charge of investigating." Yelena was determined not to let Braining know the inside story, no matter whether he was the mastermind behind the scenes or not!

"What?" Brenning yelled in surprise after hearing Yelena's words: "Girl, did I hear correctly, Stenov and Isakov are involved in the case?"

Yelena stared at Brenning and nodded.
