Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel agitated.
If Susanna is really a secret intelligence agent of the "Soviet Russia", if he hands her over, this matter will be revealed in the future.
Then this is a stain, and I will definitely be liquidated.
But now Akiyama Nosuke has said that Susanna is a "Soviet Russian" spy, and she is still right in front of him.
This is really a hot potato. If I hadn't gone to see Akiyama Nosuke and didn't know that such a thing happened, it would have been easier to handle.
Now he clearly knows that if he conceals it or lets the person go, he will definitely be caught.
Wu En would not betray him, but as for Gu Laoliu and Ye San'er, although one of them was greatly favored by him and the other was a follower, he couldn't guarantee that no one of them would spill the beans.
What should I do? I definitely can't ask Susanna directly: "Excuse me, Miss Susanna, are you an intelligence agent sent by the Soviet Union?"
Isn't that stupid?
"Lao Liu, you stay at home and help Miss Susanna make a note. Wu En and I will go out for a while and be back soon." Zhou Sen decided to go to "Songjiang Daily" again. Since Susanna provided some information, what should he do? I have to investigate it too.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Songjiang Daily." Zhou Sen had already greeted Wu En and walked out together.
…
"Officer Zhou, why are you here again?" It was Zhou Sen or Oleynikov who was receiving the reception. This man obviously disliked him very much.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oreinikov, we have investigated some situations and come to you to learn more about them?"
"Please tell me." He said respectfully, and the disapproval in his eyes was obvious.
"We learned that your editor, Mr. Serkin, who was killed at home two days ago, received some unusual letters at work, such as threats and intimidation?" Zhou Sen cleared his voice and asked.
When Oreinikov heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "I'm not sure about this. If it's a private message sent to Serkin, we can't open it. This is personal privacy."
"Involving threats and life safety, this is no longer a privacy category. Mr. Orenikov, please recall carefully. Have you ever heard of or seen such letters or packages?" Zhou Sen asked, staring at the other party. .
"I've never heard of this, but I can ask you about the people who work with Serkin. Do you think that's okay?" Oleynikov knew that no matter how he answered, the policeman opposite would have something to say waiting for him. .
This was beyond his ability to handle, and he had to ask for instructions.
"Of course." Zhou Sen could see that the other party was unable to answer this question. It was obvious that this was a puppet on strings, and he wanted to ask the Japanese superiors behind him for instructions.
After a while, Oleynikov returned to the reception room.
"Officer Zhou, I'm sorry for wasting your time." Oleynikov sat down, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile, "I just asked a few colleagues who have a good relationship with Serkin, and they said that they did meet Serkin. They have received some strange anonymous letters, but they don’t know the specific contents.”
"Have you ever received bullets or other items?"
"I don't know about this." Oreinikov chuckled, looking helpless.
"Then can I visit Mr. Serkin's office?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Sorry, after Mr. Serkin was killed, we sorted out his office and assigned it to another colleague."
"It's really a waste of time. The case hasn't been fully investigated yet, but you couldn't wait to clear out his office. What about the personal belongings he left in the office? You won't throw them away, right?" Zhou Sen clicked his tongue.
Oleynikov showed a hint of embarrassment: "That's not it. We have sealed them temporarily and will deal with them separately after the case is over."
"I want to see these things, okay?"
"Of course." Oreinikov nodded. With Osawa Falcon's authorization, he would naturally feel more confident.
A storage room at the corner of the stairs was filled with all kinds of sundries. When he opened the door and walked in, the dust kicked up made Zhou Sen cough.
There is a pile of things in the corner, just thrown there, very messy.
"Mr. Orenikov, Serkin was a photography enthusiast. He always kept a German Leica camera in the newspaper office. Now that he is dead, the camera has become ownerless?" Zhou Sen reached out and looked through it. I knew that a lot of things were missing here. All that was left behind were useless books and manuscripts. All the valuable stationery, pens, and especially a Leica camera were missing.
When Orenikov heard this, his expression changed drastically. How did Zhou Sen know that Serkin always kept a Leica camera in the newspaper office?
Only insiders know this.
"Mr. Orenikov, actually a camera means nothing to me, but the negatives stored in the camera and Mr. Serkin at the newspaper office may contain clues to solve the case. I only need these, right?" "Zhou Sen also knew that Serkin's Leica camera had already been put into someone's pocket, and it was probably unrealistic to ask him to take it out again, but what he wanted was the negatives of the photos taken by Serkin.
Only here might there be the information he wants.
In fact, Zhou Sen knew that Serkin had a Leica camera from a reporter's photo taken at his home. However, when he searched his home, no trace of the camera was found, so he guessed that Serkin might have placed the camera in the newspaper office. After all, he was a journalist. A reporter may go out to take photos or interviews at any time, so it is more convenient to leave the camera in the newspaper office.
Just now, I just tried to deceive Oleynikov, but in the end, I deceived him.
"Here are the negatives. I'll look for them for Officer Zhou. If I find them, I'll send someone to deliver them to you?" Oreinikov is not stupid. If he were stupid, he wouldn't sit in the position of deputy editor-in-chief.
"Okay, pack these and bring them to me." Zhou Sen pointed at the pile of things on the ground and ordered.
"Okay, okay." Oleynikov agreed quickly.
…
Osawa Hayabusa looked at Oreinikov with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
"Why did you clean up Serkin's office without permission and take away his Leica camera?" Osawa Hayabusa was very angry. Why did he promote such a stupid subordinate?
"President, Serkin is dead, and his office is a waste of space. I just want to clear out his things and free up the room..." Oreinikov explained carefully with a sweaty nose.
"Stupid, even if you want to clean up, why did you divide his things, and why did you actually hide his camera?" Osawa pointed at Orenikov's nose and cursed.
"Serkin doesn't have any relatives in Ice City. The things he left behind at the newspaper office don't belong to the newspaper office..."
"Even if it belongs to the newspaper, you shouldn't share it privately. Do you still need me to teach you this?"
"Yes, my subordinates are wrong. I will ask them to hand over all the things they received immediately!" Oleynikov was so frightened that he didn't even dare to wipe his sweat. He stood there bent over, as if his whole body was frozen.
"Forget it, we'll split the points, but you have to send him the negatives of photos taken by Serkin's camera that Zhou Sen asked you for this week."
"Yes, I will find it right away and have someone send it to him, but does this film need to be censored..."
"Nonsense, if you hand it over without reviewing it, then he will have all the secrets!" Osawa Hayabusa scolded, asking such a simple matter, can such a stupid subordinate still ask for it?
…
It wasn't that Zhou Sen didn't know to check out Serkin's office at the newspaper, but that he deliberately didn't go there last time. The more he showed his inexperience and neglect, the more Akiyama Nosuke thought he was useless.
If this is a desperate performance, it is not shooting at the gunpoint.
In this situation, Zhou Sen was basically certain that Oleynikov knew some of Serkin's information and was even deliberately concealing it.
Of course, if, as Akiyama Nosuke said, Susanna was an intelligence agent of the "Soviet Russia" and she instigated Serkin's rebellion through her connections, then the "Soviet Russian" agents had no motive to kill him.
Serkin and Anthony's father also belonged to the same organization. What exactly this organization did was not clear to him for a while.
In other words, Serkin's death had nothing to do with the "Soviet Russian" agents lurking in Ice City, so who killed him?
The motive for being able to get in through the fireplace chimney of Serkin's house and kill people is so strong. If not, the killer himself might be burned by the coals of the fireplace. This is definitely not something that ordinary killers can do.
A creature instinctively appeared in Zhou Sen's mind.
Ninja.
Aren’t the ninjas among the Japanese samurai very good at sneaking in and assassinating?
This can also explain why "Songjiang Daily News" reacted so indifferently to Serkin's death.
If it was really the work of "Soviet Russian" agents, shouldn't this be used to create a big hype?
If the Japanese kill themselves, then Serkin is likely to be instigated by Susanna, and this can only be explained by eliminating the traitors.
After Serkin's death, the newspaper's reaction was not at all in line with their usual approach.
Unless they know that Serkin's death has nothing to do with the "Soviet Russian" agents, they are afraid that if it is exposed, they will be disgraced.
But why does Akiyama Nosuke still let himself investigate this case? This is really unreasonable...
…
The taste of baked potatoes is quite good, especially the potatoes that are all natural and do not use pesticides. They have a natural sweetness and softness in your mouth.
If you dip this with a little secret sauce, it will taste even more delicious. If you don’t have sauce, you can just dip it in soy sauce or sugar. White sugar is a bit expensive, and most people can’t afford it...
Four people, no, it should be counted as five people, gathered around the stove and ate baked potatoes. This was considered lunch, and then there were green onions and dipping sauce.
Suzanne would definitely not be used to eating such heavy-flavored food.
Zhou Sen ate three potatoes in one go, but he couldn't eat any more. He was a little tired, so he took some water and smoothed it out a little, which made him feel better.
"Miss Susanna, you have to come back to the police station with me. You have to go there in person to clear up your disappearance case." After lunch, Zhou Sen said calmly.
"Okay." Susanna hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
It's not that Zhou Sen is cruel, but he really has no better way. Susanna can never stay with him.
I always felt that Akiyama Nosuke didn't tell him the truth.
