Jin Suying was not in her office.
Zhou Sen walked directly to the door of Akiyama Nosuke's office, reached out and knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
"Mr. Akiyama." Zhou Sen opened the door and came in. He saw Jin Suying standing diagonally opposite Akiyama Nosuke's desk, probably reporting work.
This woman had been staring at him in the interrogation room just now. Now she came up to report a little earlier than him, and she didn't know what she would arrange for her.
"Secretary Jin, you go out first." Akiyama Nosuke looked up at Jin Suying and ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Qiu Shan." Jin Suying nodded slightly, turned around, glanced at Zhou Sen, and walked out with proud steps.
"Mr. Akiyama, I would like to report to you regarding the interrogation of the principals and accomplices in Serkin's murder case." Zhou Sen walked over, stood in the same position where Jin Suying was before, and bowed.
"Don't be so formal, Mr. Zhou Sen, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Mr. Akiyama."
"After more than two hours of interrogation, we have basically figured out the context of the case. The main culprit in this case, Susanna, coerced Feya, the maid of the Serkin family, to kill Mr. Serkin. The motive for the murder was to embezzle all of Mr. Serkin's property. This case can be characterized as a carefully planned and executed murder for money!" Zhou Sen sat down and said solemnly.
"What about Susanna's identity?"
"She is humble and incompetent. We didn't find anything unusual about her. However, during the interrogation, her behavior was indeed different from ordinary people's calmness and composure. This is not something a normal girl can do." Zhou Sen lowered his head and said.
Akiyama Nosuke frowned. Zhou Sen's words were indeed reasonable, and there were not many flaws.
And let a patrolman who used to patrol the streets and deal with minor disputes between parents suddenly take on such a criminal case, which also involved "Soviet Russian" spies and other matters related to major secrets and security.
Zhou Sen's ability to find out this step is already the limit of his ability. If he can find out Susanna's identity, it will be a bit weird.
This case is a test for Zhou Sen, and Akiyama Nosuke knows this very well.
"Well, you can write a summary of the investigation process of this case and hand it in." Akiyama Nosuke said, "This case will be settled with you."
"Yes, I'll write it when I get back." Zhou Sen was happy in his heart, but didn't dare to show it. He was finally out of trouble.
"About the 'priest' thing, please give me an answer as soon as possible. It is impossible to hide the news about your adoptive father. According to the rules of the Russian Patriots Union, your adoptive father's position is inherited by you, unless he is alive. A successor has been appointed.”
"Mr. Akiyama, since my adoptive father, Mr. Anthony, didn't let me join this organization, I think he doesn't want me to get involved in it. After all, I am a Manchurian." Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment, and then instinctively shied away.
And his Chinese identity is the best excuse. As a Tsarist Russian restoration organization, all of them are White Russians. If he is a Chinese and holds an important position, who will trust him?
"Your concerns are reasonable, but I still hope you will consider it. After all, the legitimacy of your succession as 'Pastor' is unparalleled." Akiyama Nosuke said. For the strategic plan of "Northward Advance", Zhou Sen is already An essential chess piece.
"Please, Mr. Akiyama, please don't embarrass your humble position." Zhou Sen refused again. He really couldn't do this job.
"Okay, we'll talk about this later. You go ahead." Akiyama Nosuke did not embarrass Zhou Sen, but waved his hand to let him leave first.
Zhou Sen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed, then turned and left.
…
Night, Japanese haute cuisine restaurant: Musashino.
"Yamamoto-kun is here, please take a seat." Akiyama Nosuke, who had changed into a kimono, greeted a somewhat wealthy Japanese man in his thirties warmly.
Yamamoto Satoshi, the leader of the intelligence team of the Ice City Secret Service, or Ice Special Agent for short, is a newly established special intelligence team of the Ice City Secret Service. It is responsible for investigating the occupation of Ice City by Belarus and investigating the movements of "Soviet Russian" spies and intelligence personnel. Specialized agencies.
"Where is Shibuya-kun?" As soon as Yamamoto Toshi came in, he drove away the geisha accompanying him and asked Akiyama Nosuke directly.
Akiyama Nosuke gave a wry smile. Yamamoto Satoshi is a workaholic. If he didn't have an appointment, he would never come to a place like this.
"Chief Shibuya and General Qin Yan still have an important meeting, which may be late." Akiyama Nosuke explained.
"Hmph." Yamamoto Satoshi poured himself a drink at his seat.
Being so arrogant and rude, Akiyama Nosuke couldn't do anything about him. Yamamoto Satoshi was a person with a backing. Although he was not afraid, there was no need to offend him. Everyone was working for the empire, so he tolerated it.
Yamamoto Toshi is a very particular person who does not understand, which is related to his background. Akiyama Nosuke is different. He comes from a famous family and must maintain an elegance at all times.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was a rush of footsteps outside the sliding door, and then the door was opened from the outside.
Saburo Shibuya walked in wearing a police uniform.
"Akiyama-kun, Yamamoto-kun, you've been waiting for a long time!" Shibuya Saburo came in, greeted the two of them with a smile, walked to his master's seat and sat down.
"Chief Shibuya, Yamamoto-kun and I have just arrived." Akiyama Nosuke said hurriedly, but Yamamoto Toshino looked dismissive and did not speak.
He didn't come to this small gathering tonight to have a meal, but to discuss important matters.
They could also go to Shibuya Saburo's office or Yamamoto Satoshi's secret stronghold, but they still chose "Musashino".
Mainly because confidentiality and privacy are very good here.
The dishes and drinks have already been served, and the three of them don't need a karaoke to wait on them, so they can talk behind closed doors.
Of course, there is also Ono Koichiro, Shibuya Saburo's adjutant.
"Next, what I want to talk about is the base camp's always top-secret plan. This plan was formulated by the base camp's staff headquarters, personally confirmed by His Majesty the Emperor, and handed over to the Intelligence Department of our Kwantung Army General Headquarters for implementation. It is codenamed: Far Eastern Spring. ( This is a fabrication and must be believed to be true)" Shibuya Saburo said seriously.
After hearing this, Akiyama Nosuke and Yamamoto Toshi showed a hint of fanaticism and excitement on their faces. It was obvious that they were all supporters of the "Northward Advance" strategy.
"And what you are doing now is the preliminary work of this plan." Shibuya Saburo said.
Akiyama Nosuke was a little puzzled, but Yamamoto Toshi showed a "thoughtful" look in his eyes. He knew more than Akiyama Nosuke.
"As you all know, the 'Bear' work failed, which had a big impact on our next work. Mr. Anthony Robin was originally a key figure in our next work, but he died, and 'Bear' 'The failure of the work was because we had a Soviet undercover agent inside, which caused our plan to be leaked. We still have no clue about this undercover agent..."
"Chief Shibuya, although our Kwantung Army intelligence agency is the executive department for the 'Bear' work, the plan requires the cooperation of the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the secret is leaked, it may not be within us." Akiyama Nosuke analyzed.
"Akiyama-kun is right. Therefore, not only do we need to conduct internal screening, but everyone else who knows about this plan must undergo a secret investigation. However, the investigation takes time, and so far, there is no definite result." Shibuya Saburo said.
"Is Anthony Robin also under suspicion?" Akiyama Nosuke asked.
Yamamoto Satoshi took over: "Of course, everyone who participated in this top-secret operation is under suspicion. Anthony Robin was the guide of this operation. Although he died, it does not mean that he will not be the one." The mole."
"So, everything we are doing now is a test for Zhou Sen?" Akiyama Nosuke understood why Shibuya Saburo would arrange for him to do something he didn't quite understand.
"It's also a screening. If Anthony Robin is a mole, then he sent his adopted son Zhou Sen to the police station with ulterior motives. There is probably an ulterior motive between them." Yamamoto explained.
"what about now?"
"From my observation, he may have a problem." Yamamoto said.
"what is the problem?"
"I ordered someone to install a listening device on the chandelier in his study. He used to never enter the study when he came home at night, but since he learned about Anthony's death from Mr. Qiu Shan, he will stay in the study for a long time every night. , twice, I also monitored him playing with the radio in the study. He turned the volume of the radio very low, but I could still hear that he was listening to the Russian radio. In addition, the night before yesterday, my bug... Suddenly there was no signal, and he was in the study at the time. I speculated that he had discovered the bug, so I sent someone in the next day while the servant was out, and found that the wire of the bug was connected to the power supply. It was broken, but judging from the break, it doesn’t look like it was man-made. My people reconnected the line..."
"Listening to the Russian radio in the middle of the night, I also discovered the bug you installed. This guy doesn't seem to be as simple as we saw?" Akiyama Nosuke nodded.
"It seems that we need to re-evaluate this Zhou Sen." Shibuya Saburo nodded slightly, "Akiyama-kun, where are you?"
"The murder of Serkin was solved by him..."
"What?" Yamamoto Min was shocked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yamamoto, listen to what I have to say. Although he has solved the case, he does not know the real cause of Serkin's death. He thought that Susanna and the maid of the Serkin family conspired to kill for money. I think this case cannot be investigated until this point. If the investigation continues, let him close the case!" Akiyama Nosuke explained.
"Well, you told him about the 'priest', what was his reaction?" Shibuya Saburo nodded and asked.
"He was very resistant, and he didn't seem interested in what his adoptive father Anthony was doing." Akiyama Nosuke said.
"Chief Shibuya, there is one more thing. This Zhou Sen has mortgaged all the valuable assets such as the equity left to him by Anthony Robin. This may be related to the fact that he and Ivanovic wanted to ask for Anthony's property three days ago. The private seal has something to do with it," Toshiki Yamamoto reported.
"What did he exchange for such a large sum of money?"
"A small amount of Japanese yen, most of it is still Manchukuo currency, but they are bank cashier's checks, not cash." Yamamoto Satoshi said.
"It's not cash, which means he has no intention of running away with the money..."
"What's interesting is that this Zhou Sen seems to have an unknown close relationship with Bai Yulan, the proprietress of Huifangli Ningxiang Pavilion. Bai Yulan is currently facing a crisis. Zhou Sen mortgaged such a large sum of money, which is very important. Maybe it's to help Bai Yulan." Yamamoto Satoshi chuckled, he knew far more than Akiyama Nosuke.
"So it seems like he doesn't look like a well-trained Cheka at all?"
"According to our observations these days, he is a smart man, but somewhat cowardly, timid, and very sensitive. Like most Chinese people, he is very selfish and, of course, a little lustful. This is a common problem among men. ." Yamamoto Satoshi concluded.
"Zhou Sen's identity is useful to us. We must find out whether Anthony Robin is a mole planted by the Soviet Union within us!" Saburo Shibuya said seriously, "If not, the next plan will be It revolves around him, you know?”
"Hai!"
