Chapter 399: Switching (2)

"If you're not Ivan Yeger, then who are you? Why are you pretending to be Ivan Yeger?" An old policeman took the presiding seat, replacing the young policeman. His voice was deep, his expression was calm, and his gaze was sharp.

"Comrade police officer, my name is Augusta. I am 58 years old." The man sat up straight and answered seriously.

As he spoke, he pulled away his graying hair with his hands. A very short patch of gray hair appeared on his forehead. Then, like a magic trick, he pulled away the beard around his mouth... As expected, when all the disguises were removed, he really didn't look much like the real Ivan Yeger!

The old policeman was also surprised by the sudden change in the man in front of him. He said:

"In that case, please tell me what happened in detail."

The man with the changed appearance did look much younger than Ivan Yeger, who was in his seventies.

"This is a long story," he said with a sigh.

"Ivan Yeger should be considered my client. When I was young, I was a stage actor and played some minor roles in films. I was a somewhat famous, third-rate actor. When I was young, I lived a carefree life. I didn't have much money, but it was enough to spend. I wasn't famous, but girls liked me, and I had many romantic affairs... Later, I got older and had nothing to do all day. I lived on a small pension, and my money was tight... Ivan Yeger found me two years ago through someone I don't know. He said that he had offended some people because of his business, and those people wanted to kill him... So, he needed a double. He thought that I was very similar in height and facial shape, and I was an actor, so I was good at makeup and disguises..."

The man's voice was very pleasant. He indeed had the background of a drama actor. When he spoke, he was full of energy and his voice was full of cadence.

"At first, I was reluctant. Although I needed the money, I also had to save my life. I was also afraid of danger and didn't want to do anything unsafe. However, the conditions he offered were so generous that I couldn't help but be tempted... So, faced with the temptation of money, I agreed to his proposal."

The man continued to speak slowly, as if he were delivering lines on a stage, or telling a story...

"Ever since I agreed to his request, I moved in with him, trying to understand his way of thinking and doing things, and even imitate his way of speaking. When I had free time, I listened to him talk about his personal story of how he made his fortune... Honestly, his story of how he made his fortune is incredible, and it's not something that ordinary people can imitate... The more I got to know him, the more I was shocked by his evil and cruelty. For a while, I even suffered from insomnia every night, unable to fall asleep..."

When the man said this, a look of sadness appeared on his face...

It can be seen that he is also a pitiful person - for the sake of money, he has to live with a devil all day long, feel the devil's cruelty and ruthlessness, and see the devil doing evil unscrupulously in front of him but has no way to do anything... Not only that, he has to imitate the devil's way of speaking and acting and be his substitute!

"I told him I wanted to quit and return all the money I had taken from him... But he said I already knew all his secrets and there was no way he would let me go. Not only that, my life and the lives of my entire family were in his hands. I had to serve him wholeheartedly, otherwise, my family's lives would be in danger!"

At this point, the man's eyes revealed an unspeakable sadness...
