Regarding the death of Anthony's father, Akiyama Nosuke still refused to say more, and Zhou Sen had no choice but to force the other party.
We can only give up for now.
But from this we can see that what Anthony’s father is performing is most likely a top-secret mission. Otherwise, there is no need to keep it secret like this. Everyone is alone, and even family members cannot reveal it.
Come out of Akiyama Nosuke's office.
Zhou Sen felt a little melancholy. The days to come might be even more difficult. Although the special high-level courses of the police station's special service department were far from those of the gendarmerie.
But this is an out-and-out secret service department, and Akiyama Nosuke must let him do spy work.
run.
No matter where you go to Soviet Russia, you will either starve to death or freeze to death on the road in the middle of winter.
Zhou Sen didn't have the courage to go to the pass alone without taking any transportation or assistance.
At least not yet.
"Boss, we're going to take a bath, are you going?" Back at the warehouse, Gu Laoliu and others were preparing to get off work early. Today is the New Year's Eve, and the people on the street had all gone home early, so they also got off work early. .
"I'm not going, you go ahead." Zhou Sen was not in the mood to take a bath. He was still worried about going to the ultra-high stock market.
"Okay, let's go then." Gu Laoliu didn't force it. After all, the bathhouse they went to wasn't a high-end place. It was a mixed bag of good and bad people.
"Go, go, take care of Xiao Hu."
"Do not worry."
"Xiao Yao, don't be busy. Go back early. I'll be here." Zhou Sen and Yao Yuling were the only ones left in the warehouse. She was sorting and cleaning, and she had to add incense to the Stove Lord later. Apply honey.
"Okay, Brother Sen, I'll go back first." Yao Yuling nodded, took the scarf, put on her coat and left.
The large warehouse suddenly became deserted.
Anthony's father is Russian, and there is no custom in Russia of celebrating the New Year, so this time at home should be the same as usual.
Zhou Sen suddenly had an urge not to go back. To the original person, that home may still have a strong sense of belonging, but to him, it was just a place to sleep, not even as friendly as this warehouse. .
But if I don’t go back, where can I go?
After cleaning up, Zhou Sen also closed the door and left. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sound of people setting off firecrackers at home to worship the Stove Lord could be heard.
The air was also filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Zhou Sen sniffed his nose and felt a little choked. In fact, he had not been very courageous since he was a child and did not dare to set off firecrackers, but he also liked to watch others set off firecrackers.
In this situation, he missed his parents and family in another time and space, and wondered if they were doing well.
"Kitchen Lord, my surname is Zhang; a bowl of cold water and three sticks of incense..."
Listening to the nursery rhymes sung by the children, Zhou Sen's eyes were red and moist. He really missed "home".
"Uncle, eat candy!"
"Thank you." Zhou Sen took the sesame candy handed over by a little girl and was about to say a few more words when the little girl's mother ran over nervously and pulled the little girl back, teaching her a lesson as she walked away. Don’t talk to strangers.”
He didn't know whether he had seen the wrong way or had something on his mind, but he found that he was actually heading in the opposite direction of going home.
Because it was Chinese New Year, the streets were very lively. Zhou Sen thought it would be boring to go back so early, so he didn't even want to take a stroll.
It’s good to experience Bingcheng’s night market in person.
Gather your mood and move forward with the crowd.
Daowai District is the earliest developed area in Bingcheng. Although the high-rise buildings here are not as good as other newly built places, it is still the most lively area in Bingcheng.
Although most of the streets are Baroque-style buildings, most of the people living here are Chinese.
A small western-style building here is much more expensive than those in other districts.
Unlike Coats Street, where Zhou Sen lives now, the neighborhood is full of wealthy Belarusian people. It's fine during the day, but much deserted at night.
If you want to find someone to talk to, you can't even go to the door. There is no fireworks at all.
It's different here. The neon lights are flashing on the street, and you can hear the cries of vendors. It's very lively with crowds of people.
Unknowingly, Zhou Sen found that he was actually close to the Ningxiang Pavilion.
He couldn't help but think of what his colleagues were talking about in the office in the afternoon, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, he regards Bai Yulan as his woman in his heart. Who can be happy when she is coveted by other men?
Do you want to go meet me?
Zhou Sen was a little moved.
He also wanted to know why Su Wenqing came to see Bai Yulan. Was he really here to propose marriage?
Huifangli is one of the most famous romantic places in Bingcheng. At night, it is definitely the most dazzling place because it is the place where most of the outsiders gather.
Regardless of whether Lao Zhang was in power in the past or the Japanese, they all chose the same method, which was to centralize and manage these romantic places, because this not only allowed them to gather guests, but also collected a large amount of taxes.
You know, as long as the business is hidden, it will be difficult to collect taxes, but once it is centralized, it will be much easier to manage.
Of course, there is more than one Huifangli in Bingcheng, there are several other places with similar romantic places.
In addition to the Ningxiang Pavilion, Huifangli also has many romantic places, such as Yingchun Garden, Xianglian Class, Taoyuan Book Apartment, De Fengxiachu, etc., the names are numerous.
These romantic places also have levels. The Ningxiang Pavilion is a relatively high-end place. In the past, the people who come in and out are basically high-ranking officials and celebrities from the political and business circles. The lower ones receive ordinary wealthy people. As for the lower ones, I will not go into details. .
The Ningxiang Pavilion is an advantage compared to the surrounding venues. The people are singing, playing, playing, and even the turtles are shouting louder than before.
The smell of rouge and gouache was so strong that it irritated Zhou Sen's nasal passages and made him sneeze several times in a row.
He didn't dare to get too close. Maybe some of these people knew him, judging by the way they pulled and pulled the guests.
If you get entangled with them, it will be difficult to escape.
What's more, he doesn't like these vulgar fans.
The door of Ningxiang Pavilion was closed, the lanterns outside the door were not lit, and the signboard surrounded by neon lights was also extinguished.
The big house was quiet.
Today is the New Year, and the Ningxiang Pavilion is not open for business. The servants who help in the pavilion have been sent home for the holidays.
The sisters who were still in the Ningxiang Pavilion had no business, so they were either resting or organizing their own games to find their own entertainment.
Some went to other places to hang out. If you don't do business, you can't stop others from making money, so Bai Yulan didn't stop them. As long as there was a way, just go.
Now that the New Year is approaching, business outside is getting better and better, and the Ningxiang Pavilion has even closed its doors. This is tantamount to suicide, and many people are shocked.
Zhou Sen didn't go through the front door because there was too much noise there, so he went through the back door, which was more secluded and less likely to be discovered.
Knocked for a long time.
Finally I heard footsteps inside.
"Who is it?"
When Zhou Sen heard this, he was very happy. It turned out to be Axiang's voice. He was also worried that the person who opened the door would be someone he didn't know. It would be difficult to explain, so he announced his address: "I, Zhou Sen."
The door creaked open. Axiang saw Zhou Sen and said in surprise: "Brother Sen, why is it you?"
"How could it not be me?" Zhou Sen chuckled and squeezed directly into the gap in the door, "Close the door."
"Sister Lan was talking about you just now, so you came here." Axiang closed the door and pushed the latch.
"She definitely doesn't have anything nice to say, right?"
"Sister Lan is just afraid of getting you involved..." Axiang said.
"Is it because Su Wenqing has been here?"
"Brother Sen, do you know everything?" Axiang said in surprise.
"You have forgotten what I do. How can I know about this trivial matter?" Zhou Sen chuckled. It was good to brag in front of the little girl and satisfy his vanity.
"Brother Sen, you haven't eaten yet?"
"Well, I just walked all the way here after get off work." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Sister Lan didn't eat either."
"Let's go, just solve the problem. If you don't eat, it won't be good for your health." Zhou Sen walked in front and went straight to the yard where Bai Yulan lived.
Dong Dong...
The door was ajar, and Zhou Sen could already see a slender profile sitting on the sofa, with a slight frown on his face and a lingering sadness between his brows.
Maybe he was distracted and didn't hear the knock on the door. Zhou Sen opened the door directly and walked in.
"I heard from Axiang, you don't want to eat?"
"No appetite..." Bai Yulan replied naturally, but soon discovered that the voice of the person who spoke was wrong. When she looked up, she was shocked to see it was Zhou Sen, "Why is it you? How did you get in?" ?”
"You walked in."
"You, who let you in? Ah Xiang, this damn girl, is she too indulgent?" A trace of anger appeared on Bai Yulan's pretty face.
When a beautiful woman is angry, she just looks good. This is true. Men are really mean sometimes and can't move when they see a beautiful woman.
"You made the mistake of blaming Axiang for this. I knocked on the door and you didn't say not to let me in." Zhou Sen chuckled and spoke for Axiang.
"When did you bribe her, and she turned to an outsider like you?" Bai Yulan said with a slight expression on her face.
"Don't say that, Axiang cares about you too." Zhou Sen sat down and said, "She knows that no one can help you now except me."
"How can you help me?" Bai Yulan asked.
"Su Wenqing is not the only one in Bingcheng who has a warehouse that can store cotton cloth. As long as we can rent other warehouses, we can transport our cotton cloth there."
"You said it's easy. The warehouse where the cotton cloth is stored needs to be dry and fireproof. If the warehouse is damp, the cotton cloth will become moldy. Once water leaks, it will be lost!"
"You signed a custody agreement with Su Wenqing, right? If there is a leak in the warehouse, will he pay for it?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Don't you mean..." Bai Yulan covered her mouth and rolled her eyes at him.
"This is a desperate approach. We haven't reached this point yet. It's not necessary." Zhou Sen said, "I don't know about the storage situation of cotton cloth. Is there any warehouse in Bingcheng that can store our cotton cloth?"
"Of course there is, but at this time, no one dares to offend Su Wenqing." Bai Yulan nodded.
"You can't rent it, but I can." Zhou Sen said with a smile.
"You..." Bai Yulan was stunned and then understood. If she rented a warehouse, the warehouse owners would not dare to rent to her for fear of offending Su Wenqing. But Zhou Sen was different. They would offend a policeman, especially Zhou Sen. There is also another identity, the young boss of Anthony Company.
"But, in this case, your relationship with me will be exposed?"
"Are you afraid?" Zhou Sen looked at Bai Yulan and asked.
"I'm afraid I'll drag you into this whirlpool. When the time comes, you won't think so." Bai Yulan said slowly.
"The world will only say that you, Bai Yulan, the most beautiful outsider, used a honey trap to confuse me, so I came forward to help you at all costs. I may even be the victim." Zhou Sen chuckled.
Bai Yulan couldn't help but froze when she heard this, it was really possible.
