"Boss..."
Gu Laoliu pushed the door open and came in. He was shocked when he saw Zhou Sen sitting at the head of the long desk where meetings were usually held, motionless and silent.
Shivering, he stretched out his hand to feel his breath.
"You're welcome, I'm alive." Zhou Sen stared and opened his mouth to say.
"Boss, you scared me." Gu Laoliu hurriedly patted his chest and said, "The two new young people are good. Such good young people, why is the department willing to patrol the streets for us?"
"That's because they haven't graduated yet. After graduation, it won't be our turn." Zhou Sen chuckled, "Sixth, please keep an eye on these two people. Don't bump into them. If you bump into each other, I won't be in good shape then." Explain."
"What's the background?" Gu Laoliu asked, putting down his enamel water glass.
"Be careful in everything, yes." Zhou Sen said meaningfully. Arranging for two people to come at this time is definitely not that simple.
"I understand, boss." Gu Laoliu nodded solemnly. At noon, Zhou Sen took him to have dinner with the Qing brothers, and said that he would promote him to the position of inspector. This already explained the problem. Zhou Sen might I can't stay where I am now for long.
"Lao Liu, tell me what you saw this morning." Zhou Sen said seriously.
"Okay, boss." Gu Laoliu nodded, sat down, and organized his speech, "Not long after you and the two newcomers left Serkin's house, Feiya went out. I followed along and found She went to a tea shop called Santos outside the road. I didn't dare to follow her in. I stood guard at the door. About ten minutes later, I saw Feya coming out and getting on the No. 2 tram. I wanted to follow her. , but unexpectedly found Miss Susanna also walking out of the tea shop. Although she was wrapped tightly, I still recognized her. "
"She didn't notice you, did she?" Zhou Sen asked.
"No, I don't dare to tell you. Boss, you told me that Susanna might be a spy for the Soviet Union. With my little tracking skills, I'm afraid that if I'm discovered, it will be bad," Gu Laoliu said.
"You did the right thing. It seems that the relationship between Susanna and Feya is very close, and it is not as simple as we thought." Zhou Sen said.
"Could it be that two people joined forces to seek wealth and murder? All of Serkin's savings are in Susanna's name. As long as Serkin dies, all the money will belong to Susanna." Gu Laoliu analyzed.
"It's possible, but it's not entirely true. Don't you realize that the people at Songjiang Daily were a little indifferent to Serkin's death?" Zhou Sen said, "When a colleague died, they couldn't wait to remove Serkin's death at the newspaper. The relics have been cleared and divided, isn’t this too impersonal?”
"That's right, boss, this case is getting more and more complicated. Should we continue to investigate?" Gu Laoliu was a little worried.
"Investigate, of course we have to investigate. This case was handed over by Mr. Akiyama himself, and there must be a result." Zhou Sen said, "However, we learn to simplify complex issues and focus on the case itself. Do you understand?"
"Then how can we check now?"
"Start with Feya and investigate her financial transactions, especially her relationship with Susanna. Focus on the investigation." Zhou Sen said, what about the Soviet spy? This has nothing to do with him. He will find out who Serkin was killed. As for who was killed The motive is preferably to seek wealth and murder.
"Okay, I understand, I'll think of a solution." Gu Laoliu understood. He treated this case as an ordinary murder case and had nothing to do with anything else. Even if it did, he would just treat it as if he didn't see it or didn't know, so as not to cause trouble. On fire.
"Don't force yourself, your own safety is the top priority in everything." Zhou Sen warned.
Gu Laoliu nodded: "Ye San'er said that we will welcome newcomers tonight at the meat restaurant we ate at a few days ago..."
"Forget it tonight. I'm a little tired. Let's change it to tomorrow night." Zhou Sen objected. He drank a bit too much at noon. Drinking it at night will definitely hurt his body. It's not good if he doesn't drink. It's better to change it. time.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Ye San'er."
…
At No. 12 Buying and Selling Street, Zhou Sen decided to go there himself to find out the situation from the Grisha whom Susanna mentioned.
Just on my way home.
I called a small carriage. When I got in, I just said "Business Street". I didn't say the specific address, and the driver didn't ask any questions.
Zhou Sen was familiar with the streets of Bingcheng. When the carriage almost arrived near the location he wanted, he stopped the carriage and paid the fare.
I got out of the car and looked around behind me, then stepped forward towards my goal, No. 12, Buying and selling Street.
No. 12 Buying Street is an apartment building. After entering, I followed the house number Suzanne said and went up to the third floor. The bank teller named Grisha she mentioned lived in Room 303.
The bank got off work relatively early, so Gresha should have already gotten off work. If she didn't have any social activities or dates, she should have returned home by now.
It didn't matter if he didn't come back. Zhou Sen had plenty of time to wait. When he came, he had already rehearsed what he was going to say next in his mind.
When he came to the door of Room 303, he listened to the door first, but there was no movement inside. Zhou Sen reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
It seems that he is out of luck, Gresha probably hasn't come back yet.
Zhou Sen walked to the window at the end of the corridor, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and started smoking.
A cigarette quickly disappeared at the end of the finger.
Zhou Sen raised his feet, put the cigarette butt on the sole of his leather shoe, put it out, put on his gloves again, leaned against the window edge, lowered the brim of his hat, and waited silently.
Da da……
This was the sound of the soles of high heels stepping on the stairs. It was obvious that the person coming upstairs was a woman. Zhou Sen raised his head slightly, pushed the brim of his hat, opened his eyes, and looked towards the stairs with his peripheral vision.
A young Belarusian girl in her twenties with wavy brown hair, holding a leather bag with one hand, turning the key ring with the index finger of the other hand, humming a Russian folk song in her mouth, very cheerful expression.
Zhou Sen has never seen Grisha, but this girl went up to the third floor and walked directly over. She should live on this floor.
The girl walked on a catwalk, smelling a strong smell of alcohol, and arrived at the door of Room 303. When she turned her head, she also saw Zhou Sen leaning against the window at the end of the corridor.
Curiosity, surprise, and even a hint of indescribable emotions.
The next second, she actually walked towards Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen smiled slightly, walked over, and asked in proficient Russian: "Miss Grisha, right?"
"Oh, how do you know my name?" Grisha took a step back in surprise, obviously frightened by Zhou Sen's sudden name.
"You have a friend named Susanna, right?" Zhou se took a step forward and asked slightly oppressively.
"Yes, you know Susanna. Where has she been these past few days? I've been looking for her everywhere?" Grisha asked excitedly.
"She's fine. Nothing's wrong. It's just inconvenient to come see you." Zhou Sen took another step forward and was already in front of her, but in order not to scare the other party, he kept a safe distance of about two meters.
"You, who are you?"
"I am also his friend. Susanna is living in the place I arranged for her these days." Zhou Sen explained.
"I don't believe it. I've never heard her say that she has a Chinese friend?" Gresha looked at Zhou Sen warily. In her opinion, many Chinese people have low moral character.
"Miss Grisha, I know that Susanna's boyfriend Serkin was killed at home a few days ago. She was afraid that Serkin's death would implicate her, so she hid and did not dare to come to see you. At the same time, she was also afraid That and Serkin’s murderer will find her, you know what I mean?”
"Then why are you coming to see me? Susanna and I are just friends, and I don't know anything about her?" Gresha said quickly to distance himself from the relationship.
"The police were investigating Serkin's case, and Suzanne was his girlfriend. This relationship could not be concealed. On the afternoon of the day Serkin was killed, they met again at the Lucia Café, and then Serkin returned home in the evening. If she is killed, the police will have reason to suspect that Sherkin's murder is related to Susanna. Therefore, she will definitely be wanted at that time, and you are his friend. The police will definitely come to ask you for questioning. Your testimony will be very important to Susanna. Crucial.”
"What do you want to say?"
"Miss Grisha, do you want us to keep talking like this in the corridor?" Zhou Sen asked.
Grisha thought for a moment, reached out and opened the door with the key, turned on the light, and asked Zhou Sen to go in.
This is a small one-bedroom apartment. The small living room leads into the bedroom, with an external bathroom. There is no kitchen, and she probably doesn't know how to cook at home.
Gresha looks neat on the outside, but her home is completely different. Clothes, shoes and socks are everywhere, and it doesn't look like a girl's home at all.
"Sorry, I live alone and no one comes over..." Grisha explained sheepishly.
"Miss Grisha, the night Serkin was killed, that is, the night of February 1st, Susanna was with you, right?"
"Yes, during those days, she felt unwell and asked for leave from the bank, so she stayed with me." Gresha nodded.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you on your period?"
"Yes, it's that kind of pain, the kind that makes people want to live and die." Grisha explained with gestures.
"Then she is with you, how can you two live together?"
"We are both girls, so naturally we sleep together. Is that no problem?" Grisha said with a smile.
"Has she seen a doctor? Has she taken medicine?"
"After seeing it, the doctor gave her some painkillers and asked her to go home to drink more hot water and apply hot compresses."
"When did she come back on the night of the 1st? Did she stay with you all night and never went out?" Zhou Sen continued to ask.
"Didn't Susanna tell you?" Grisha became suspicious. If Zhou Sen was really Susanna's trusted friend, how could he not tell him this?
"I mean, if the police ask, you have to say that Susanna came back very early and was with you all night and never went out. Do you understand?" Zhou Sen hurriedly changed his words, but he observed The change in Gresha's face.
After hearing what Zhou Sen said, Gresha's face showed a slight unnaturalness. It was obvious that there was something wrong.
"Do you have to say that?" The nervous look on Gresha's face betrayed her. There was definitely something wrong with Susanna that night.
"You and Susanna are good friends. If something happens to her, do you think you can clear up the relationship?" Zhou Sen became more and more certain that on the night when Serkin was killed, Susanna might be closely related to the case even if she was not the murderer.
Is Susanna really a Soviet spy?
If Akiyama Nosuke had definite evidence, why didn't he arrest the person directly? Instead, he told himself and asked himself to identify it?
Is this just a test?
The Japanese would never let three thousand people go by mistake, unless there was a higher use value and target in Susanna.
But Susanna is so important, why should she leave it to herself?
What on earth is going on behind the scenes of Akiyama Nosuke?
