Zhou Shen felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, in a dark tunnel with no way forward.
The news Akiyama Nosuke gave him was so scary that he didn't even know how he got out of the kendo practice room.
Before him was an incredible fact.
The Belarusian father who had adopted him for fifteen years was a fanatical "anti-Soviet and anti-communist" element and had also joined an anti-Soviet underground organization.
Whether he is working for the Japanese again or it is just a cooperative relationship.
What he is doing now will definitely bring disaster to him in the future, and he may also be implicated. Even if he is lucky enough to survive to Victory Day, going to the bitter cold land of Siberia to log and mine is a high probability event.
Although the original person was beaten a lot in the past, the kindness of nurturing and cultivating him for fifteen years still exists objectively, even if he is a different person now.
But he has endured everything that happened to his original body. Without his original body, he would not have a chance to live again?
My father is dead, so I can’t ask him many things in person.
He couldn't blame him. His personal struggles could not make any waves under the tide of the times. Now he still wants to "counterattack" and build a new Russian empire. This is an unrealistic fantasy.
Akiyama Nosuke did not detain Susanna, but actually wanted to use "her" to play a long-term role and catch big fish. This kind of long-term thinking is their usual trick.
Did he "expect too much" of himself?
"Officer Zhou." After Susanna and Cui Miao closed the "missing" case, Cui Miao originally planned to send someone to ask Susanna's uncle Balof to take the person back.
But Susanna insisted not to let her uncle come to pick her up, and instead stayed at the police station waiting for Zhou Sen.
Cui Miao also knew that Susanna was brought to the police station by Zhou Sen. The case was closed and he took the credit. The rest was none of his business, so there was nothing wrong with her.
"Miss Susanna, why didn't you go back?"
"I don't dare to go home, I'm afraid someone will do something bad to me..." Susanna lowered her head and explained.
"How about I find you a hotel to stay in first?" Zhou Sen thought for a moment and realized that he couldn't take Susanna to live in his own home. That would be a big misunderstanding. The warehouse is private property. Although there are not many secrets, Susanna's identity is doubtful. , that’s not appropriate either.
"Am I the only one?" Susanna asked crisply.
"I will arrange for someone to open a room and live next door to you." Zhou Sen said, "That way you can call him anytime if you need anything."
"Thank you, Officer Zhou."
I found a small hotel called Yuelai near the warehouse, opened two rooms in Ye Saner's name, and Susanna lived in one.
In the other room, Zhou Sen planned to let Wu En live in it. Wu En was too far away from home. After the heavy snowfall, it was freezing cold and the road was not easy to walk.
Wu En has a place to live nearby and can protect Susanna, killing two birds with one stone.
After settling Susanna, Zhou Sen returned to the Haicheng Street warehouse.
Gu Laoliu was receiving a lot of items sent by Songjiang Daily about the items left by Serkin. He unloaded two boxes from the carriage.
Gu Laoliu made a simple registration and wrote a receipt to the other party. The program could not make excuses for the other party.
Dozens of film negatives were specially placed in a box. This was something Zhou Sen specified, so it naturally needed to be inspected and counted.
After the tedious handover work, the visitor left with the receipt list.
"Uen, go to Yuelai Hotel and replace Ye San'er. Then you will stay there tonight. Miss Susanna lives next door to you. Your mission is to protect her. As long as she goes out, you will not move. Just follow along, take care of dinner yourself, and come back to pay the bill." Zhou Sen called Wu En to him and gave instructions.
"Boss, are we really nannies for others?" Gu Laoliu asked.
"This is what the superiors want. I can't help it. Just execute the order." Zhou Sen didn't want to explain much to Gu Laoliu. The less he knew, the better.
"There is obviously something wrong with this "Songjiang Daily". I just used the words of the person who delivered the things. Guess what?" Gu Laoliu said mysteriously.
"What?"
"They plan to bring Serkin's body back from the police station and then quietly find a place to bury it." Gu Laoliu.
"The case hasn't been solved yet, why are you in such a hurry to bury the body?"
"Who knows, boss, we have been there twice. Have you ever seen one of them care about how Serkin was killed and whether the murderer was caught?" Gu Laoliu said, "Based on my intuition as a police officer for many years, this " Songjiang Daily must know something."
"So what if we know? If they don't tell us, what else can we do to them?" Zhou Sen said helplessly.
"Then this case will be difficult to investigate..."
"Lao Liu, help me keep an eye on Songjiang Daily and report any situation as soon as possible." Zhou Sen said, "It's almost time. It's time to get off work. You can go back."
"Boss, I have to go then." Gu Laoliu looked at the sky outside, but it was already dark. When he went out in the morning, he promised his wife that he would go back early for dinner tonight.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for a while Ye San'er..."
It's not that Zhou Sen has never thought about just leaving his son and running away, but running away is not just a matter of temporary enthusiasm. It's freezing cold today, and when he leaves the Ice City, the road is blocked by heavy snow.
First of all, there must be transportation, secondly, transportation, identification, and most importantly, where to run.
The road ahead is not completely cut off yet, but running away now will completely cut off the road.
Self-pity and self-pity will definitely not work. He has to find a way to save himself. He has thought about pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, but no, a good person cannot be crazy just because he wants to be crazy, let alone whether he still has the ability.
Right now, all we can do is try to find ways to deal with them.
"Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen..." Zhou Sen was frowning and thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the warehouse door.
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Oh no, why is it her?
"Zhou Sen, I know you're inside, please open the door for me." The warehouse door was being beaten desperately, and there was no way to pretend not to hear.
There was no other way, unless I was stuck in there and couldn't get out, so I had to get up, walk over, open the door, and let Jin Suying in.
"Secretary Jin, what are you doing here?" Zhou Sen said in a cold tone. This woman is very beautiful, but she is too snobbish and too strong. She is obsessed with her, but for him, she doesn't feel cold at all. , and it’s best to stay away from this kind of woman.
"Zhou Sen, there is a dance at the Madil Hotel tonight. I finally got two tickets. You can go with me." Jin Suying said with a smile.
Only then did he notice that Jin Suying was actually dressed up, with wavy black hair, a precious fox fur shawl, and a cheongsam made of expensive fabric underneath, which was well cut and outlined her beautiful figure. , exuding youth and vitality.
"No." Zhou Sen refused directly.
Jin Suying's expression changed. In the past, no matter how hard she pushed or humiliated her, as long as she said a word or hooked her finger, he would come over like a pug and beg for mercy and please her.
It worked in the past, but suddenly it doesn't work today.
"Zhou Sen, I've given you shame, how dare you refuse me like this?" Jin Suying's face suddenly dropped. There was no one else here, and she didn't have to hold back to maintain her image of a dignified lady.
"Why can't I reject you? Who are you? Are you my wife or my mother?" Zhou Sen replied sarcastically.
Jin Suying suddenly turned red with anger: "You, you are simply a scoundrel."
"Thank you for your compliment, Secretary Jin. If there is nothing else, I won't keep you here to avoid misunderstandings!" Zhou Sen issued an eviction order.
"Zhou Sen, to tell you the truth, tonight's dance at the Madier Hotel was arranged by Mr. Akiyama. If you don't go, the consequences will be serious," Jin Suying said.
Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment, and then sneered in his heart. Akiyama Nosuke had just told him about the death of Anthony's father, how could he be allowed to accompany Jin Suying to a dance at this time?
If Akiyama Nosuke wants to win over him to do things for him, he will not fail to consider his emotions at the moment. It is necessary to make such a decision that makes him feel uncomfortable at this time.
How important can a dance be? It requires a small person like him to attend, and Kim So Young is allowed to accompany him?
If it was really necessary, why didn't he tell him when he was at the police station just now, and instead asked Jin Suying to come over and tell him herself?
This is simply pulling the skin of a tiger and raising a flag. This is a non-existent thing.
"Secretary Jin, don't use Mr. Qiu Shan to pressure me. After work, it's my private time. I can do whatever I like. I'm not interested in the dance right now. You can find someone else. There is someone in the police station who is willing to accompany you." A lot." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"Zhou Sen, you..." Jin Suying was so angry that she couldn't speak. How many times had she kept Zhou Sen under control, telling him to go east and never dare to go west. Suddenly, a person came. The 180-degree turn made her completely uncomfortable.
Zhou Sen didn't care about her as long as she didn't disturb his work. He found that the film negatives in his hand had special marks.
To put it simply, these film negatives all have the shooting time, which must have been added when Serkin developed the photos later.
The negatives of the photos taken by Serkin when he joined the "Songjiang Daily" are all there. These dozens of rolls of film negatives may not be valuable now, but decades later, it will be different. They are completely worth collecting.
"What are you doing?" Jin Suying was so angry that she wanted to run away, but was attracted by the rolls of film negatives in Zhou Sen's hand.
"It's none of your business, go and do whatever you want." Zhou Sen said with great disgust.
Although it is impossible for Serkin to take photos every day, the continuity can basically be seen, and he started out as a reporter. It is normal for him to go out with a camera to interview and look for news clues.
Zhou Sen took these photos and compared them with the reports written by people Serkin had interviewed for Songjiang Daily in the past two years. They all matched up one by one.
