After discovering this photo, Zhou Sen naturally focused on the relationship between Anthony's father and Serkin.
Although this may not necessarily be related to Serkin’s murder.
However, he wanted to know the relationship between Father Anthony and the Russian Patriots Alliance, and the letter he found in the secret room. It was very hasty, but it was almost like a suicide note.
What secrets were there that he didn't know about?
Zhou Sen wanted to find more relevant information, so he naturally had to send Gu Laoliu and the others away. Otherwise, how could he explain to the three of them.
While sorting out the books and materials retrieved from Serkin's study, he looked for what he wanted.
Of course, you also need to register.
These things don't belong to him yet, they are just temporarily withheld by him using his authority to handle the case. Strictly speaking, they are all exhibits.
We are not afraid of ten thousand, we are just afraid of the eventuality that a descendant of Serkin will appear or the Japanese will cause trouble...
He must consider this, these original bodies do not have such meticulous minds.
As a latecomer and a literary worker who has been engaged in writing in this area, how could I not be sensitive to this aspect?
After taking off the thick black woolen coat he was wearing, Zhou Sen almost buried himself in the pile of books and information.
Looking for what he might need, and of course, taking along these disorganized books and manuscripts to sort them.
It was too long, so he put it aside. After all, he didn't have the time and energy at the moment, but maybe he would in the future.
He picked out the manuscripts and things Serkin had written in the past three years and put them aside.
These are what he will focus on next.
He hoped to find some clues from these manuscripts, because he suddenly discovered that his knowledge and understanding of Anthony's father did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
In other words, it is possible that a section of memory in the original memory is missing and hidden.
Serkin is actually related to Anthony's father, and he wants to indirectly understand this "Russian Patriots Alliance" through this Serkin.
The warehouse door was suddenly opened.
The wind blew in the snow, and it was Gu Laoliu and Ye San'er. Their eyebrows and beards were white, and there was snow on their shoulders.
After coming in, he quickly stamped his feet and rubbed his frozen radish-like hands: "Boss, the snow is getting heavier and heavier outside. Why don't you go back early and we can clean up here?"
"No, I've almost finished cleaning up. I'll be back in a moment." Zhou Sen got up and came over, picked up the kettle on the stove and poured them each a cup of hot water. "Come here, want to drink some hot water to warm yourself up first?"
"Thank you, brother." Ye San'er took the hot water and was about to take a sip when his mouth was so hot that he shook his mouth. "Where's Wu En? Isn't he back yet?"
"It was snowing so heavily and he lived far away. I asked him to return the carriage and go back from get off work. There was no need to come back again," Zhou Sen explained.
"Then I don't live close by..." Ye Saner muttered.
"If you think you live far away, you can go back first." Zhou Sen is not used to him. Ye San'er has a rather out-of-touch temper, so you can't give him a good look, otherwise he won't know the importance.
"Hehe, brother, I'm just talking." Ye San'er smiled and said hurriedly.
"Okay, help me move these to the shelves. I've labeled them all. Just place them according to the labels." Zhou Sen called to Gu Laoliu, "Lao Liu, come here and talk."
Gu Laoliu nodded.
"Lao Liu, what can you gain from going to Uncle Susanna's house?" Zhou Sen sat down and asked.
"Suzanne's uncle, named Balof, works at the old Badou Brothers Cigarette Factory. He is a shredder. He has two children. The eldest is a girl who attends Bingcheng Medical College and the younger is also in middle school... "
"Suzanne used to live with her uncle's family. They moved out recently and rented a room on Xuefu 2nd Street. Although they no longer live together, Susanna goes to her uncle's house for dinner every Saturday. Last Saturday, Susanna did not go back for dinner. Her uncle Balorov was worried and went to find someone the next day. Only then did he discover that Susanna had not gone to work at the company or where she lived for several days. He immediately reported her missing. Case closed."
"Xuefu Second Street, isn't that Lao Cui's patrol area?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Well, it's Inspector Cui's patrol area." Gu Laoliu nodded. Zhou Sen and Lao Cui had a good relationship in the past. After all, they were neighbors. Now, it's hard to say.
"So, Lao Cui should know a lot about the situation?"
"It's hard to say. Susanna is Russian and came from the north. She has always been the focus of surveillance by the Japanese. We have received similar reports before, but the final results were all related to Japanese intelligence agencies. In the end, it will all be settled." Gu Laoliu reminded Zhou Sen.
"Do you suspect that Susanna was taken away by the Japanese?"
"It's not impossible, boss, think about it, this Serkin is the reporter and editor of "Songjiang Daily", the boss behind "Songjiang Daily" is Japanese, and Serkin is an active anti-Soviet element. In the eyes of the Soviet people, his behavior is naturally filled with hatred and they want to kill him immediately!" Gu Laoliu also said with some concern, "Boss, this case is too deep. If we continue to investigate, even if If we find out the truth, what can we do?”
"Since Serkin's death may have something to do with Soviet intelligence agents, why would Akiyama Nosuke hand over such a case to me? My ability and qualifications are not enough to handle such a case, not to mention that I don't even have the intelligence department to handle it. None of them?" Zhou Sen frowned and expressed his doubts.
"Boss, this matter is indeed weird. Logically speaking, this case should be handed over to 'Baizhanzi' for investigation. Not only does he have people under his command, he also has close relations with the Japanese. We only have two or three kittens. Just catch a thief, find a cat or dog, and let us handle this kind of major criminal case of murder. This is really like pretending to be an elephant with a pig's nose stuck in it." Gu Laoliu complained.
"You also know about elephants. Have you ever seen an elephant?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig running before?" Gu Laoliu muttered, "I've seen elephants on postcards, with green faces, tusks, and long trunks. They look quite scary."
Zhou Sen glanced out the window and saw that it was getting dark, so he said, "Lao Liu, go back. Your wife and children are at home waiting for you to go back for dinner. It's almost time for me to leave."
"Then do you want to continue investigating this Susanna?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Sen stuffed a stack of Serkin's manuscripts into a leather bag and planned to read them again at night. There was really no good way to kill time during the long night.
Except for going to those places with feasting and entertainment, or romantic places, those other parties are not of much interest to Zhou Sen now.
In the past, he was also a frequent visitor to popular entertainment venues such as the "Madiel Hotel", the Manchukuo Officers Club, and the Asia Cinema.
I know quite a few of my fair-weather friends.
The wind and snow outside are gradually getting lighter, but the temperature has dropped sharply. Even if you are wearing thick gloves, you can feel the biting cold wind drilling into the palms of your hands.
The snow on the street is already up to the ankles. When you step on it, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. Every few steps you take, you have to take a big breath. The hot breath in your mouth quickly condenses into ice mist. .
In this weather, you really need to carry a stick with you when peeing at night.
Irina opened the door for Zhou Sen.
"Master Wasim, I don't know what you want to eat for dinner, Master, so..." Irina hesitated.
"It's not done yet. It doesn't matter. I'll do it myself." Zhou Sen didn't care. He had always eaten food cooked by Irina and was used to the taste.
But Zhou Sen doesn't like the high-calorie diet of Russians. Although, in the cold winter, it is necessary to eat some high-fat and high-calorie foods.
"When did the young master learn to cook and do it so well?" Irina asked curiously, looking at Zhou Sen who was busy in the kitchen.
"I figured it out by myself when I was alone and bored. In fact, cooking and writing have something in common. Practice makes perfect." Zhou Sen knew that he would never be exactly the same as his original self. The changes that had happened to him, There must be a convincing reason, at least to make the people around you believe it.
Irina has been working at home for many years, so she naturally knows that Zhou Sen has always had a dream of becoming a great writer.
But Anthony's father did not agree with his artistic development and sent him to the Bingcheng Police Academy (training center).
Within the Puppet Manchukuo police system, there are three categories: Japanese, Baekje and Manchu (Chinese). The Xinjing Central Police School mainly trains Japanese (also T-type) police officers, while the local police schools (training stations) train Baekje police. Mainly series and Manchu series.
People like Zhou Sen who are promoted to the police rank must go back to school for three to six months of retraining.
This is not expected to take place until after the spring of next year, because his promotion is a bit out of the ordinary.
Besides, it's impossible to open a class just for him to be promoted.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour fish, and seaweed and egg drop soup. They are all appetizers, paired with a big bowl of multi-grain rice, and you will become a good rice cook.
After dinner, Zhou Sen went directly back to the study upstairs.
He had to get to know Father Anthony again. For him, the memory of the original person was also one-sided.
And the murdered Belarusian journalist and editor Serkin may be able to bring him another different father Anthony.
In particular, he seemed to have never heard of the organization called the "Russian Patriots Union" that both of them joined.
There is also a secret room in the house, which contains enough light weapons to equip a fire platoon. Could this be an ordinary, normal Belarusian businessman?
As Zhou Sen read through the manuscripts left by Serkin one by one, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his heart became less and less calm.
Not only did Serkin extremely hate the Soviet Russia that believed in communism, he used extremely harsh and vicious language in his article to attack all policies, systems, people and events in Soviet Russia. He was also a fanatic who advocated the "restoration of Tsarist Russia"!
In addition, Serkin also has an identity label, that is, he is a descendant of the "White Guards".
If Father Anthony was the same person as Serkin, his scalp suddenly felt numb and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
This is really troublesome.
