This matter must not be known to outsiders, even if he knows that it is easier for Belarus to survive in the ice city now.
But what about the future?
Zhou Sen knew that once the identity of Anthony's father was exposed, he was his adopted son. Even if he was not related by blood, could he be free of the relationship?
Not to mention, he himself is still a policeman in Manchukuo.
Life was so difficult in the past, but he survived it. Now, it's just a different environment. It's a little more difficult, but is there anything more meaningful than living a good life?
This matter hasn't reached that stage yet, so what's there to despair about?
Even if Father Anthony has his unknown identity, so what, he is him and he is himself, this cannot be confused.
The case can still be investigated, and life can still go on.
Zhou Sen put away these manuscripts, became worried, and simply went back to his room to sleep. If he didn't sleep, how would he have the strength to get up and clear the snow tomorrow?
At least I can still dream about Bai Yulan.
…
Anthony's father was not at home, so the house seemed a little deserted. Zhou Sen got up early in the morning to clear the snow.
How can we get out without clearing a path in the yard?
Naturally, there is a special snow removal team on the street to do this job, otherwise, the city will not be able to function for a day.
As for rural areas, there is no other way. At this time, we can only stay at home and the production activities have basically stopped.
It only took a while for Zhou Sen to break out in a sweat. This snow clearing was really a physical job, and his little body was really weak.
It seems that I will be exercising in the future. If I can’t do it at home, I still have some space in the warehouse I rented. When the time comes, I can get some indoor exercise equipment and store it in it. In the winter, it is not suitable to store it outside.
I am only twenty-four years old, and I still have a lot of time ahead of me.
Get some hanging rings, horizontal and parallel bars, wooden dummies, and sandbags. Can you pick up the Wing Chun that you have learned for a few days...
Zhou Sen was thinking about how many things he could put in that place. At this time, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
Throwing down the shovel, Zhou Sen went to open the door, and the person who came was Wu En.
"Uen, why are you here?"
"My mother asked me to bring you some mutton, young master." Wu En said honestly.
Only then did Zhou Sen notice that Wu En was carrying a whole slaughtered sheep on his back. Except for the sheep's head, everything else was carried. It weighed at least a hundred kilograms.
"You just carried it all the way here?" Zhou Sen was surprised. Wu En's home is in Guxiangtun, far away from the city. I usually don't mind riding a bicycle, but in this snowy day, I can't ride it at all. A car can only walk on two legs.
Carrying a whole sheep weighing hundreds of kilograms and walking almost twenty miles, Zhou Sen was jealous of his physical ability.
This really reflects the saying: Well-developed limbs, simple mind.
"Wu En, what are you doing? How can I ask your mother to give me something?" Zhou Sen asked hurriedly. Although he had helped Wu En's family, he never expected anything in return.
"My mother said that there was a snowstorm at home last year, and the heavy snow collapsed all the houses. If the young master hadn't paid for us to rent a house and built a new house for us, our family wouldn't even have a place to live. This kindness to us You have to remember it all the time." Wu En came in carrying the mutton and said.
"How much is this mutton? I'll pay it to you later..." Zhou Sen is not in the habit of taking advantage of others, and this sheep is not cheap.
"Master, if you give me money, I won't come here anymore." Wu En put the mutton down and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll take it, why don't you just take it!" Zhou Sen said helplessly, Wu En is this kind of person, he accepts death, he won't eat other people's mutton for nothing, just look for opportunities to replenish him in the future.
"Irina, come here and take care of this sheep. We will eat sheep scorpions tonight and put the rest in the ice cellar first!"
"Okay, Master." Irina agreed happily. This big fat sheep weighed about a hundred pounds at least. It was enough to eat for a long time when placed in the ice cellar.
"Wun, have you had breakfast?" Zhou Sen turned around and asked, and then said, "Forget it, even if you have eaten, you are still hungry after walking such a long way. Let's eat together. Anyway, Irina will do it every time for breakfast Do a lot.”
Barbecue, big ribs, and milk, although it is a very nutritious breakfast, Zhou Sen just wants to drink a bowl of tofu pudding with fried crispy fried dough sticks. This is the Chinese breakfast, and it has a unique taste.
Seeing Wu En eating a large piece of barbecue and eating it so deliciously, Zhou Sen directly pushed his plate over.
"Master..."
"I have no appetite today. You can eat. I'll just drink a glass of milk." Zhou Sen smiled slightly and explained.
Wu En didn't think much, thanked him, and started eating.
After a while, Zhou Sen's share also went into Wu En's stomach. Seeing him still looking unfinished, he couldn't help but sigh.
There is such an eatable person in this family, and I am afraid that feeding this mouth will cost a lot of money. Wu En is an honest man, so I am afraid that the small salary from the police station will not be enough for him.
However, Wu En can support himself, which is the greatest help to the family. If Zhou Sen hadn't helped out from time to time, it would have been difficult to save a few money at the end of the year.
Wu En is now old enough, and his family is arranging a marriage for him. Only when a man is married and has a small family of his own can he truly shoulder the responsibility of connecting the past and the future.
Uen is a diligent child. After dinner, he also knows how to help Irina clear the table. It is because of his true quality that Anthony's father gave him this opportunity.
"Let's go, Wu En. We'll go to the police station first, and then go patrolling the streets. There's probably nothing to do today." Zhou Sen changed his clothes and greeted Wu En.
The two of them went out and found a walkable path on the street. The snow on the roadside was still very thick. The layers of snow accumulated layer by layer. The bottom layer of snow might have to wait until spring next year. It will melt completely.
The snow has stopped a long time ago, and the weather will be good for at least the next half month.
Although he was not used to walking on two legs, Zhou Sen decided to suppress the idea of "getting a car" for the sake of his body.
Although walking is slower, it is a healthy way to travel, especially when it comes to "working as a foreigner".
"Shaobing, Shaobing..."
Hey, Zhou Sen couldn't walk after smelling this fragrance. It was exactly the same smell as in his memory, and the gluttons in his stomach almost crawled out.
"Come on, Wu En, the young master will take you to eat something delicious."
"Master, isn't it just sesame pancakes? What's delicious?" Wu En scratched his head, a little confused as to what had happened to this young master recently. He was completely different from the person he knew before.
It smells so good!
This sesame seed cake, crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, is really delicious when paired with the tender tofu curd.
"Man, check out..." After eating and feeling very comfortable, Zhou Sen was about to stand up to pay the bill when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a White Russian woman sitting on the table next door.
Although it was just a glance, that face actually made him feel familiar, as if he had seen it before somewhere.
With doubts, Zhou Sen left, but within a few steps, the Belarusian woman paid her bill and followed her.
This made Zhou Sen feel something was wrong.
This White Russian woman's stalking was too blatant. Did she really not take him as a little patrol leader seriously?
We continued walking four to five hundred meters.
Zhou Sen was basically sure that the Belarusian woman was following them. It would be too incompetent for him to pretend not to know, so he turned around and rushed over.
"This lady has been with us all the way. Do you need my help with anything?" Zhou Sen said restrainedly.
"Are you Officer Zhou Sen?" The Belarusian woman actually said Zhou Sen's name.
Zhou Sen had a look of surprise on his face: "Miss, we haven't met before, and I don't know you, right?"
"Officer Zhou Sen, I am the girlfriend of Serkin, the editor of "Songjiang Daily", and my name is Susanna." The Belarusian woman introduced.
Zhou Sen exclaimed, "Are you Susanna?"
No wonder he felt that this Belarusian woman looked familiar just now, as if he had seen her before. It turned out that he had seen her photo.
"Miss Susanna, why are you looking for me?" Zhou Sen was surprised. Susanna seemed to be just a weak girl, so why did she look for him? This was too weird.
"I know that Officer Zhou Sen is investigating the murder of Serkin, so I came to you to beg you to help me catch the murderer of Serkin." Susanna said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Zhou Sen frowned.
He is investigating the murder of Serkin. Not many people know about this matter. Of course, many people in Nangang Police Station and Bingcheng Police Department must know about it.
But who would tell a Susanna who had been reported missing, and Susanna lived outside the road, how did she know, and how did she know herself?
Although he is well-known in Bingcheng, everyone lives in different circles. Logically speaking, Susanna cannot contact him or know him.
The sudden appearance of this woman completely disrupted his train of thought. There were too many mysteries in it.
Here, if you make one wrong move, you may be in danger.
Zhou Sen became extremely vigilant.
This is the Ice City in 1938, the capital of spies in the Far East under the rule of the cruel and dark agents of the Japanese invaders. Everything that is happening now shows that there is an invisible hand controlling everything.
"Miss Susanna, how did you know that I was investigating the case of Serkin's murder? Who told you?" Zhou Sen's eyes were cold.
"Aunt Feia told me."
"Feya, a servant of the Serkin family?" Zhou Sen asked, "How could she tell you this?"
"Actually, Officer Zhou, can you find a safe place and let me tell you the details, okay?" Susanna's eyes showed a trace of nervousness and uneasiness.
"What, is someone trying to harm you?"
"Well, I don't know. Anyway, I don't dare to go back now that I have a family. I'm afraid it will hurt my uncle and the others." Susanna suddenly became emotional, covered her mouth, and almost cried.
Zhou Sen saw that it was not appropriate to talk about things on the street, nor was it appropriate to take him back to the police station. However, he could not let go of the clue that finally came to his door.
"Wun, you take me, Miss Susanna, to the warehouse first." Zhou Sen told Wu En, "I'll go to the police station and click on my thumb, and I'll be there."
"Yes, Master." Wu En nodded. He didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he felt that Susanna was quite pitiful.
