Chapter 400: Switching (3)
As Augusta recounted how he had become involved with Ivan Yeger's mafia group, Alexei listened attentively through the surveillance footage while searching the intranet for basic information about this man named Augusta, checking his history and whether he had a criminal record...
Soon, Augusta's resume appeared on the computer screen:
Augusta was born on May 6, 1960, in St. Petersburg, into a family of educators. His grandfather was an elementary school teacher, and his father a middle school music teacher. From a young age, Augusta was passionate about art and determined to dedicate himself to it. After graduating from middle school, he enrolled at the St. Petersburg Art Academy to study acting. After graduation, he joined a local drama troupe and performed in a number of traditional classical plays, including "La Dame aux Camélias" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," where he also played the leading male role.
Later, due to the troupe's financial difficulties, he was invited to play some roles in TV dramas, but he never played the leading role...
Augusta is married. His wife is also a retired actress. His son and daughter-in-law have settled in the United States.
Augusta has no criminal record...
Seeing this, Alexei called the presiding police officer and asked him to focus on questioning Ivan Yeger. For example, how did he escape? Where was the underground secret room? During his interactions with Ivan Yeger, Ivan Yeger had told him some of his personal experiences...
"Then tell us where he was when the police came to arrest Ivan Yeger? How did you push you out to replace him and escape yourself?"
After listening to the instructions from Alexei in the headset, the old policeman pondered for a moment and said.
"Well..." Augusta thought for a moment and said:
"I clearly remember that he got up very early that morning, around six o'clock, which was very abnormal. Because he usually slept until nine o'clock in the morning," said Augusta.
"At that time, I was still sleeping, and he came to my room and woke me up. He said that for some reason, he was always nervous, as if something bad was going to happen. His expression was very solemn and abnormal at the time. I said, are you thinking too much? He said that he was going to hide in the basement first, in case someone came to find him. So he asked me to deal with it. I had to get up quickly, put on makeup, and change my appearance. I sat in the living room drinking coffee... Not long after, you came. At first, I heard some noise outside, and I thought it was someone he knew looking for him. I didn't expect it to be the police. He was right!" said Augusta.
"He is hiding in the basement of the villa. Is there a secret passage leading to the outside?" asked the old policeman.
"Yes," Augusta said.
"Where is it?" asked the old policeman.
"There is a small button behind the mirror in the bathroom on the first floor. Press the button and a door will open automatically. Go down the stairs and you will enter the darkroom. The darkroom is very large and has a bed, a TV, and a refrigerator. You can live in it without buying food for a week. In addition, if you walk forward along the darkroom, you will see an iron gate. Open the iron gate and outside is the city's sewer system with several exits..." said Augusta.
When Augusta said this, Alex immediately called the leader of a certain team and gave him the order:
"Immediately go to Ivan Yeger's villa and search it again. The key is to find the button behind the mirror in the first-floor bathroom. Press the switch and the underground darkroom will be opened. When Ivan Yeger was arrested, the real Ivan Yeger was not outside. He was hiding in the darkroom... Although he has slipped away when you went to look for him now, you can use the police dogs to track him down..."
