"Zhou Sen-kun, you handled yesterday's matter very well. Kawara-kun asked me to express my gratitude to you!" Akiyama Nosuke called Zhou Sen to the office early in the morning and said.
Zhou Sen was flattered and said: "Yes, as a police officer, you should take the safety of the people as your own responsibility, especially the overseas residents of the Japanese Empire. It is a humble honor to serve them."
"Yoshi, very good, Mr. Zhou Sen." Akiyama Nosuke was very satisfied with Zhou Sen's attitude, "I heard that you invited Director Lin from the Special Agent Section of the National Police Agency to dinner?"
"Yes, Director Lin has rich experience in investigating and solving crimes, and he is familiar with Bei Zhi's adoptive father, so Bei Zhi specially asked him for advice."
"Xinxi, it's a good thing that Mr. Zhou Sen is so eager to learn and make progress. I'm optimistic about you." Akiyama Nosuke nodded.
"Thank you Mr. Akiyama for the compliment."
"As for whether Susanna is a Soviet spy, you have to hurry up." Akiyama Nosuke warned, paused briefly, and then asked, "Have you found any clues about the murderer of Serkin?"
"I went back to the Police Department morgue to check Serkin's body again. Based on Director Lin's reminder, I had some speculation that our previous investigation might have been in the wrong direction..."
"Wrong, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Akiyama, if normal people, like you and me, stand face to face, then the wound on Serkin's right neck is most likely caused by a left-handed person. But Serkin died in his own bed. He was lying on the bed. The neck was cut, that is to say, there is no need to consider the height of the murderer, it may not necessarily be with the left hand, it is even possible that the murderer deliberately misled us." Zhou Sen explained.
"Oh, are you sure?"
"No, but after the murderer killed someone, he was able to carefully erase all traces, even the fingerprints on the glass from which Serkin drank. Generally, except for well-trained spy killers, there is only one possibility. The murderer is most likely a woman, because women are generally more careful."
"Nani?"
Akiyama Nosuke was slightly stunned. It seemed that he did not expect Zhou Sen to give him such an answer.
"Do you have a target of suspicion?"
"When Serkin was killed, the door locks of the room were all intact. When we first found signs of climbing in the fireplace chimney, we determined that the murderer entered through the fireplace. After killing someone, he escaped through the fireplace chimney. But this time Could it be that the murderer is misleading us in the direction of the investigation? If so, then there is only one possibility in this case, and that is that an acquaintance committed the crime. The only suspect is Feya, the maid hired by the Serkin family. According to my investigation, Feya has a She is an extremely drunk and loves to beat her husband. Although they are divorced, they have a son named Klaus who serves as a soldier in the White Russian army and spends a lot of money..."
"So, this Feya has a motive for murder?"
"Although Feya needs money, she may not be able to get what she wants by killing Serkin. Moreover, Serkin was suddenly killed by someone slitting his throat while he was sleeping. If it was Feya who committed the murder, we must find conclusive evidence. evidence, such as the murder weapon, otherwise, if we arrest the wrong person, you also know that Commander Semyonov of the Belarusian team is a difficult person to talk to." Zhou Sen reminded.
"how do you want to do it?"
"I want to go to Serkin's house again, take back all his knives, and compare them with the wounds on Serkin's neck."
"How long will it take to finish doing this?"
"It will take three to five days anyway." Zhou Sen said in embarrassment, "Besides, this requires professionals to do this. I would like to suggest that someone from the Fingerprint Management Office of the National Police Department do it?"
"Okay, let me coordinate. You go and get all the knives from Serkin's house. No one is missing." Akiyama Nosuke nodded.
"Yes, I'll do my humble job now."
…
"Hello, sir!" When Zhou Sen came down from upstairs, he was saluted and blocked by two young men, a man and a woman, without any police rank.
Zhou Sen nodded: "Needless to say, you are the two trainee police officers recommended to me by Section Chief Song, Hu Hao and Yao Yuling."
"Yes, sir."
"In front of outsiders, just call "Sir". When there are no outsiders, just call "Brother Sen" or "Boss". We work in the field, but it's harder and there are not so many rules. If you two have nothing to do, just follow me. Come on." Zhou Sen greeted.
"Yes, Brother Sen." Hu Hao adapts quickly and is familiar with it. Yao Yuling is a girl, a little shy, and a little bit unable to let go.
It's normal. Newcomers are like this. When he first came to the police station to report, he was more nervous than the two of them.
"Did the police station equip you with guns?" Zhou Sen glanced at their waists.
"No, we are not official police officers yet, so we cannot be equipped with guns yet, but we are equipped with patrol batons." Hu Hao explained, while Yao Yuling nodded.
"It's okay if you don't have a gun. In fact, when we patrol the streets, we basically don't need guns." Zhou Sen said, "You will understand later. Follow me to do something first."
Zhou Sen took Hu Hao and Yao Yuling directly to Serkin's home on Gogol Street and asked Feya, the housekeeper, to take out all the knives in the house.
Zhou Sen was still uneasy and searched inside and out again.
All the knives were registered in size and purpose, and then a basket was found and all brought back to the police station.
Zhou Sen did not arrest Feiya.
As long as the murder weapon that matches the wound under Serkin's neck is not found, there is no direct evidence to arrest Feya.
Of course, it is not impossible to arrest. The police in Puppet Manchukuo Bingcheng rarely handle cases based on evidence. They always want to arrest you, so they arrest you, arrest you, and beat you again, and then it depends on whether the arrested person's family will be punished. On the road.
Those who are on the right path may still have a chance to come out alive. Those who are not on the right path will simply disappear from the world. There are many unjust, false and wrong cases.
Chinese people are dying like grass, and the situation in Belarus is not much better.
The original person was so numb.
…
"San'er, how are you?" Back at the Haicheng Street warehouse, Zhou Sen met Ye San'er. He and Wu En had just returned from patrol.
"Brother, it's much better. It's just a skin injury." The wounds on Ye San'er's face are all scarred. They are still a little ugly, but they are not disfigured.
"Here, let me introduce you." Zhou Sen pulled Hu Hao and said, "This is Hu Hao, a top student at Bingcheng Police School. He will graduate in the first half of next year and come to our Nangang Police Station for internship."
"The other one is a girl, her name is Yao Yuling. Like Hu Hao, she will temporarily follow our group. You are an old policeman. You should guide them, but you are not allowed to bully the newcomers. Do you understand?"
"My name is Ye San'er, welcome you two!" Ye San'er introduced himself with a smile.
"Hello, Brother Ye." Hu Hao called.
"Don't call me that, just call me San'er. That's what they all call me. I'm about the same age as you, but I've just been a formal police officer for a few more years than you." Ye San'er said modestly.
"Wu En, you will take charge of Hu Hao and Yao Yuling first. You can tell them about the work and rules of our group. Then, starting from today, they will patrol the streets with us." Zhou Sen called Wu En over. , give an order.
"Yes, brother." Wu En didn't say much, and he absolutely obeyed Zhou Sen's orders.
"Brother, we have a new member in our group. Do we have to celebrate at noon?" Ye Saner asked with a smile.
"Okay, how do you want to celebrate?" Zhou Sen took a sip of hot water and asked with a smile.
"Why, do you have to find a restaurant to have a meal?"
"But not at noon. I have an appointment with the eldest and second son of the Qing family for dinner. You should eat something at noon and we will talk about it in the evening." Zhou Sen said.
"Brother, you made an appointment with the eldest son and the second son of the Qing family for dinner. Can you take me with you?" Ye San'er came up to them greedily.
"No." Zhou Sen rolled his eyes at him, "Just stay at home and if you cause trouble again, I'll let you fend for yourself. Anyway, I have enough people under my command now."
Ye Saner's head shrank, and he smiled and did not dare to speak anymore. He seemed to feel a strong sense of crisis.
Hu Hao and Yao Yuling on the side looked at the conversation and expressions of the two people, showing a look of curiosity, but they did not dare to open their mouths to ask more questions.
"Hu Hao, Yao Yuling, you two are going out with me to patrol." Wu En changed his clothes and put on police equipment, and greeted the two newcomers, "I understand if there is anything, just ask, but you have to remember one thing, no Order, don’t act without permission.”
Wu En's meticulous expression was a bit like taking the lead. After what happened yesterday, this guy became even less fond of talking.
Perhaps, this is an opportunity for him to change. Maturity comes at a price.
"Brother, what about me?"
"You go buy groceries and cook, otherwise what will you have for lunch today?" Zhou Sen said angrily to him.
…
Gu Laoliu came back and saw Ye San'er playing with a fish there. He glared at him fiercely. Apparently he was still angry about Ye San'er going to Taipingqiao Gambling House to make money.
Ye San'er didn't dare to touch his bad luck, so he smiled and said hello.
"Lao Liu is back, sit down and have a glass of water." Zhou Sen poured a glass of water for Gu Lao Liu, pushed it over and said.
"Thank you, boss." Gu Laoliu picked up the water glass, put it down again, and said in a low voice, "Boss, you really guessed it right. There is indeed something wrong with Feiya. You guessed it, just after you left Serkin's house , who did she go to see?"
"Suzanne." Zhou Sen drooped his eyelids and said a name.
"Boss, there is indeed something wrong with this Susanna. She came to us on her own initiative. If she is a Soviet spy, what is her purpose?" Gu Laoliu was the only one who knew that "Suzanne" was a Soviet spy.
Of course, all this was said by Akiyama Nosuke, and Zhou Sen was also doubtful. If Susanna was really a Soviet spy, she would be too courageous.
This is an undercover agent coming to the police. What does he want to do?
"Boss, are you going to arrest me?" Gu Laoliu asked, rubbing his hands.
"Will Feia run away?"
"That won't happen." Gu Laoliu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"It's almost time. Where are the Qing brothers?" Zhou Sen glanced at the time and asked, "Don't worry about Feiya, she won't run away, and she doesn't dare to run away."
"Tao's old shop on the street in front makes good stews," Gu Laoliu said.
"Come on, let's go there."
