Zhou Sen had no idea how to identify Susanna's identity. There was no template or general process for this job. He could only investigate her social relationships first, and then put her under his nose and nose to observe.
Just observe.
How could he, a person who wanted to escape from this whirlpool of right and wrong, try his best to help Akiyama Nosuke identify any "Soviet Russian" spies?
After helping the Japanese, can he still shed his black skin?
I really made myself a fool.
The best strategy is to procrastinate and waste away. The Japanese themselves can no longer consume it and find that they are just a puddle of mud.
If the mud can't hold up the wall, that's for the best.
He has one principle now: Father Anthony is Father Anthony, and he is him. Although the two are related, they are two independent individuals.
He didn't want to get involved in the matter of Anthony's father, and he didn't want to know. Unless Akiyama Nosuke took the initiative to tell him, he would never ask more questions.
As for the secrets at home, he considered finding a way to dispose of the weapons in the secret room. Whether to find a safe place to hide them himself or to hand them over to the Japanese, he had not yet decided.
Putting it in that secret room for the time being, there hasn't been any problem.
He won't pick up the things from the racecourse club for the time being, and he doesn't know who else will be watching him secretly.
As long as the thing is there and no one finds it, you can pick it up at any time.
He had never thought about inheriting the mantle of Father Anthony, nor did he believe the Japanese nonsense. If he really inherited the mantle, he would not know how to die by then.
You can do anything, but you can't be a traitor. This is the bottom line.
…
"Boss, that Feiya, I got some information." Wu En sent Susanna away, and Gu Laoliu reported to Zhou Sen what he had found out through his investigation.
"explain."
"This Feya is forty-seven years old. Her husband works on the China Eastern Railway, but they divorced a few years ago. The main reason is that her husband is alcoholic and violent. Whenever he is drunk, he goes home and beats his wife and children. They have a son who was very young. He dropped out of school and signed up for the Belarusian team recruitment the year before last. His family's financial conditions are not bad. Feya has been working for Serkin for almost a year, and the neighbors think well of her."
"Does she use most of the money she earns to support her son?"
"His son is in the Belarusian team, and his food and accommodation are taken care of. He shouldn't need her to support him, right?" Gu Laoliu said.
"We need to check this. Does her divorced husband still have contact with him?"
"When we got divorced, the son followed his father. After all, the father had a fixed salary and had no worries about food and drink. Feiya didn't even have a place to live. So, if Feya wanted to see her son, she had to go through her ex-husband..." Gu Laoliu asked. Very carefully.
"Then check the relationship between Feiya and her ex-husband, such as whether there are any financial contacts." Zhou Sen ordered.
"Boss, is this related to this case?" Gu Laoliu muttered incomprehensibly. This is not an investigation. "Aren't we aimlessly looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Otherwise, why don't you go check out the people on the road who are good at using knives, who are left-handed, and who have appeared in Ice City recently?"
"This..." It's not that we didn't check this. Gu Laoliu also asked the old man in the corridor for advice. There were many people who fit the characteristics. However, after checking, he either had his hair cut off or was in jail. There was no chance of committing a crime. This way Doesn’t make sense.
"Which one do you choose?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile.
"I'd rather investigate Feiya and his ex-husband." Gu Laoliu said dejectedly.
"Give me a message to Boss Qing from Shuangqinghui. Tell him that I'll treat him to a meal at noon tomorrow. I'll book a restaurant and let him know." Zhou Sen ordered again. He had not forgotten the fact that he was being plotted against. But if he wants to find out the person behind it, he can't rely on his own strength.
"Boss, why did you think of inviting him to dinner? Shouldn't he invite you to dinner?" Gu Laoliu asked in surprise.
"You'll find out tomorrow."
Gu Laoliu smiled, and he understood what he meant. He was indispensable for the meal at noon tomorrow.
…
Shuangqinghui is a small gang on the ground in his patrol area. There are many small gangs in Bingcheng, and Shuangqinghui is somewhat famous.
This double celebration is mainly organized by the two brothers of the Qing family. Under their control are some offenders, thieves, beggars, immortals, and itinerant traders who make a living in this neighborhood, such as cigarette sellers, fruit stalls, newspaper outlets, etc. Payment must be made every month, no matter how much.
Of course, there are also people who watch the show and collect protection fees. They collect the protection fees, but they can't keep it all in their own pockets. Most of it has to be handed over to the police station.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Sen has to pay money at the Double Celebration Party every month. No matter who becomes the boss of this neighborhood, the rules are the same.
Otherwise, the police station will directly wipe out your situation.
Zhou Sen cannot keep this money in his own pocket. It must be handed over to the police station and then distributed. This is additional income in addition to the fixed salary.
This income is very objective. Otherwise, with my original salary and the subsidy from Anthony's father, I can still eat at high-end restaurants every day and spend money in gold-selling caves like Ningxiang Pavilion?
That night, we had a dinner of fancy wine and nothing but one or two "old sheep".
This work is usually done by Gu Laoliu and Zhou Sen basically doesn't care about it. Of course, he won't care about it in the future either.
Gu Laoliu was sent out to work by himself, and he was the only one responsible for patrolling. At least two people had to be on duty.
There are a lot of things happening on the streets, especially trivial things, which is very challenging for a person.
So, in the afternoon, he and Wu En took to the streets.
The streets are generally relatively peaceful, mainly because the Lunar New Year is coming, there are more people on the streets, and there are also more minor crimes and collisions.
There are police officers directing traffic on the street. They are not the same department as them. They only deal with daily minor disputes.
Basically, the people do not want the police to intervene. By the time they come, both parties to the conflict have reached an agreement.
There are also many conflicts caused by family relationships. Affected by the concept of "family scandals should not be publicized", they rarely intervene and are unwilling to intervene in such disputes between parents.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop household chores.
Except for the backwardness of people's concepts and the tense or even hostile relationship between the police and the people, there is basically no difference between the work of ordinary policemen in later generations.
Of course, the pseudo-policemen were accomplices and minions of the Japanese invasion, and their work philosophy and beliefs cannot be compared with those of later generations.
There is no denying that in his position, if he can take care of the people in his jurisdiction, then the people's lives will indeed be easier.
But this cannot change the status quo. Only by driving away the invaders and overthrowing the existing rule can this cannibalistic world be completely changed.
I have seen it before. In broad daylight, I saw Japanese people bullying Chinese people on the street, teasing women, and even directly slapping, punching and kicking them. It was obviously the Japanese who were in the wrong, but it was the Chinese who apologized. Even Still have to pay...
Others, eating and drinking for free, and even robbing them outright are not uncommon. Even if someone is arrested in the end, nothing will happen.
"Little girl, why are you running, quack..."
Zhou Sen was just thinking that he would not encounter such a thing, otherwise he really couldn't guarantee that he would not take action in anger, when he heard a Japanese bird chirping in the alley.
What are you really afraid of?
Before Zhou Sen could understand the situation, Wu En had already rushed over.
There was no other way, so Zhou Sen had no choice but to follow.
Several samurai wearing Japanese ronin clothes were chasing a young girl in the alley. The girl kept running out in fright.
When the girl saw someone rushing into the box, a policeman in black uniform, she immediately felt that she was saved, and ran towards Wu En even more desperately.
While running, he shouted: "Help me, help me..."
When the four Japanese ronin saw the police, they did not retreat at all. On the contrary, they chased after them with a burst of chirping.
The police, they're not afraid at all.
One of the Japanese ronin ran very fast and had already caught up with the girl. He grinned and threw her to the ground. His coat was ripped open with a "stab" sound.
The girl screamed: "Help me!"
Seeing this, Wu En's eyes widened as if to spit out fire. He let out a tiger roar, took a strong step, flew into the air, raised his fist as big as a jealous bowl, and punched the Japanese Ronin samurai in the back of the head. .
The Japanese Ronin samurai was hit by a group of people and fell to the ground. How powerful was Wu En's punch? How could the little Japanese body withstand it?
When the three Japanese ronin who came from behind saw this situation, they rushed forward aggressively, drew their samurai swords, and surrounded Wu En and the girl.
Zhou Sen hurriedly rushed, but he was still a step too late. Wu En had already taken action. I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything good today.
Wow wow...
The three Japanese ronin samurai wielded their samurai swords and slashed at Uen, as if they wanted to kill him on the spot.
Wu En was not afraid at all. Before the samurai sword in the hands of the Japanese ronin who rushed to the front touched him, he "plucked green onions on dry land" and slammed it to the ground.
A grunt!
The Japanese ronin samurai passed out just like his previous companion.
The remaining two Japanese ronin warriors looked at each other, and they did not seem to be afraid. Instead, they were aroused by their companions being knocked down. They attacked Wu En from the left and the right.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Sen was so scared that he flew out of his wits. One against two, and the opponent was still holding a weapon. Could Wu En be his opponent?
Zhou Sen was dumbfounded by what happened next. Wu En's eyes were cold and scornful. He made a wrong step and reached out with his big hand, grabbing the wrist of one of the ronin warriors holding the katana.
"Click" sound!
The Japanese ronin samurai screamed, his arms went limp, and then he lost his fighting power.
Another Japanese ronin samurai was so frightened when he saw it, he turned around and ran in the direction of Zhou Sen.
However, before he could reach Zhou Sen, he saw a flash of black light on his back. It turned out that Wu En picked up the bushido on the ground, turned the blade, threw it, and hit him on the back of the head.
He threw a dog and ate its shit, and also passed out along with his three companions.
Zhou Sen was stunned.
He knew that Wu En was very skilled, but he didn't expect that he was so good at fighting and defeated four Japanese Ronin samurai so easily.
Trouble!
These four people were all dressed as Japanese ronin warriors and carried swords when going out. They must have backgrounds, and they all saw Wu En's appearance clearly.
What's particularly troublesome is that Wu En is wearing a police uniform, so he will definitely be recognized as a policeman, and the other party is not blind.
On the street, Chinese people need to bow when they see Japanese people, let alone beating Japanese people now, even if these four Japanese ronin samurai are bullying women.
But the Japanese will not reason with you. The laws of Manchukuo are not for them to abide by. Once the Japanese investigate, Wu En will be unlucky and even go to jail.
Of course, as Wu En's commander, Zhou Sen will definitely be implicated. He is not afraid of being implicated, but what will Wu En do next?
This momentary impulse brought great trouble to himself, not to mention that Wu En was not a person, he also had parents and family members.
