"Okay, Secretary Jin, please don't take off your noble feet, so as not to dirty the soles of your shoes." The car stopped in front of the house, and Zhou Sen opened the door and got out.
Jin Suying's face instantly dropped.
This is clearly a sign of disdain for oneself.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to say something, Akiyama Nosuke's warning came to his mind, and he swallowed the words again: "Then you have a good rest, and I will notify you when I get back to work."
Zhou Sen nodded, watched the car leave, and then opened the door and entered his yard.
"Master Wasim..." Irina heard the movement in the yard, opened the door and came out, tears of joy bursting into her eyes.
"Okay, I'm back now. Don't cry. Is there hot water? I want to take a bath?" Zhou Sen also had a sore nose. Although he didn't communicate much with Irina, in this home , Irina takes better care of him than Father Anthony.
The relationship between the original person and Irina seems to be no less than that of Anthony's father, but now that they are a different person, there must be a little difference.
"Okay, Master Wasim, let me see you. Where have you been these past few days? You have lost weight..." Irina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stepped forward and hugged Zhou Sen.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back now." Zhou Sen gently patted Irina's back and comforted her.
"Master Wasim, I am so happy. Are you hungry? I will cook for you..." Irina said.
"No, I've eaten. I'm not hungry." Zhou Sen said hurriedly.
"Then I'll put hot water for you. You can take a good bath and get some sleep..." Irina said happily while wiping away tears.
Meow!
Lucy jumped out and threw herself into Zhou Sen's arms. This little guy, who hadn't seen him for several days, kept rubbing her head against his chest.
"Okay, okay, be good, I'm going to take a bath." Zhou Sen responded to the little guy's affection while stroking Lucy's back.
…
His whole body was submerged in the hot water, and Zhou Sen unconsciously let out a "comfortable" moan. He had really suffered in the past few days.
Not only was he physically tortured, but he was also mentally tortured.
Of course, I also thought about a lot of things, and some things were thought through and figured out in the four days of being trapped.
There is no use in blindly escaping. Some things, since they fall on you, can only be faced actively.
The Japanese can force him to do things he doesn't want to do, but since his hands, feet and mouth are on his body, he still has the final say on what to do.
There are some things that he hides in his heart and cannot speak out.
Why……
Zhou Sen let out a long sigh, and now he can only take one step and look at it.
The water quickly cooled down. Zhou Sen got out of the bathtub, wiped the moisture off his body with a dry towel, put on a clean bathrobe, and cleaned up his face.
"Lucy, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me." Zhou Sen got in, threw Lucy to the end of the bed, and got into bed.
When I woke up, it was completely dark outside.
Zhou Sen went downstairs, and Irina was preparing dinner, oatmeal, bread, and sweet and sour pickled cucumbers. It was both stomach-warming and nutritious, a standard Russian dinner.
"Irina, tomorrow is the Lunar New Year, otherwise let's make dumplings at night." Zhou Sen said while drinking porridge.
"Okay, Master Wasim." Irina nodded. Anthony was not at home, and Zhou Sen was her little master. She naturally had to listen to her little master in everything.
After dinner, Zhou Sen went upstairs to the study.
Sitting in a chair in a daze.
The room was full of books, as well as the Damascus knife. He had searched everything he could find in the entire study, and there was no other secret.
As for the secret, there is only the key left to him by Anthony's father. This is the key to unlock the secret hidden in the racecourse club.
He can't go now. He can only wait until spring and the racecourse opens before he has a legitimate reason to go to that club.
Now, all we can do is wait.
He casually put this key together with his own door key, which is called darkness under the lamp. No one would have thought that he would put such an important key together with an ordinary key. Therefore, even if he was "Yurekin" “During the days of kidnapping, the keys were not taken away by them.
I don't know how Gu Laoliu and the others are doing. Since he has been away for the past few days, they must be very nervous and anxious.
Go there early tomorrow morning to tell them that you are safe, and by the way, find out what happened in the past few days since you were gone.
…
"Brother, boss..." The next morning, Zhou Sen bought breakfast. As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, he was surrounded by Ye San'er, Wu En and two newcomers.
"Where is Lao Liu?" Zhou Sen asked strangely after searching for a long time and not seeing Gu Lao Liu.
"Lao Gu went to the police station to answer the call. He will be here shortly." Ye Saner explained.
"Oh, he is the acting inspector now, and he has to go to Ying Mao tomorrow." Zhou Sen remembered that Gu Laoliu had temporarily taken his place. Although he had not been officially promoted, it should not be a big problem, as long as he If there is no problem.
"Is everything okay these days?"
"It's nothing, just trivial things. It's almost the same as when the boss was here. I haven't seen you in the past few days. That Assistant Jin said you were on some case, so we can't ask more questions." Ye San Er explained.
"Oh, I went to handle a case. I was told to keep it secret by my superiors, so I didn't tell you." Zhou Sen chuckled. It would be better not to involve his brothers in his matter.
"Let me tell you, you just got promoted and suddenly disappeared, and no one was seen in the police station. We are still worried."
While talking, Gu Laoliu came over on a bicycle.
"Boss, I finally see you." Gu Laoliu parked the car, walked over, and hugged Zhou Sen excitedly.
"Let's go over and have a smoke." Zhou Sen took out his cigarette case and handed Gu Laoliu a pipe.
"Thank you, boss." Gu Laoliu reached out and took it, there was no need to be polite between them.
"What happened to Su Wenqing and Qin Laoqi in the past two days when I was away?" Zhou Sen took a puff of cigarette and asked.
"The day before yesterday, Su Wenqin's godson Feng Hua took people to Qunfang House and asked to see Sister Yan who came out of Ningxiang Hall by name. They made a big fuss and almost lost their temper. Director Sun of the Zhengyang Department I went too, the number of guests in Qunfang Building has dropped sharply in the past two days, so it’s cheaper than Grand View Garden." Gu Laoliu said directly without thinking much.
"Qin Xiong didn't take revenge?"
"Qin Xiong has been grounded by Master Qin Qi. The person in charge of Qunfang Tower now is Hou Wu. If Qin Xiong had been in charge, he would have been beaten to the head and bleeding." Gu Laoliu said with a smile.
Zhou Sen nodded. Qin Xiong and Feng Hua are both the leaders of the younger generation in Bingcheng Road. One of them is the eldest son of Qin Qiye, and the other is the rising star Su Wenqing’s subordinate. Who will become the next biggest underworld in Bingcheng? guy.
It's basically locked into one of them.
Therefore, the competition between the two is naturally ubiquitous, and the enmity formed naturally lasts for more than a day or two.
Even having a meal, arranging a seat, holding a party, setting up a scene, they have to compete, not to mention business competition, especially business on water and land terminals and railways, the two have overlaps. Almost incompatible with fire and water.
"Didn't you say why?"
"I heard that Sister Yan from the Ningxiang Pavilion originally agreed to go to the Qunxian Guild Hall under Su Wenqing's name, but in the blink of an eye she went to Qunfang Tower. Feng Hua couldn't get enough of it, so she went to find the bad luck in Qunfang Tower."
"What's the reaction from Ningxiang Pavilion?"
"There hasn't been much movement in the Ningxiang Pavilion, but there was an incident five days ago. The Ningxiang Pavilion reported that someone set fire to the temporary warehouse at night. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Although the fire was on fire, it was put out quickly, but The loss may be considerable. Boss Bai caught the arsonist and sent him to the police station the next day. Boss, guess who is the arsonist? "
"Who is it?" Zhou Sen secretly laughed after hearing this, but it also showed that Wu En was really tight-lipped and didn't even say anything to Gu Laoliu.
"Luan Yuanhui, the head of the nursing team at Ningxiang Pavilion, this is a tree that has fallen and the hozens have scattered. Boss Bai may not be able to escape this disaster!" Gu Laoliu couldn't help sighing after he finished speaking.
Zhou Sen smiled and said that Bai Yulan was probably fine now. The conflict between Qin Laoqi and Su Wenqing was already open to the public. With this quarrel now, there will definitely be good drama to come.
"Lao Liu, since the new official took office, you haven't invited everyone to dinner yet. Today at noon, you can treat everyone to a meal." Zhou Sen took out an "Old Sheep" from his wallet and stuffed it into Gu Lao Liu's pocket. , said, "I will not participate."
"Boss, I'm treating you to dinner, how can I ask you to spend money?" Gu Laoliu blushed. He has a wife and children to support, and a family. Although being a policeman makes a lot of extra money, following Zhou Sen, there are many things to do. None of them are done.
This income is naturally much less than others.
Furthermore, the salary of low-level police officers is very low. If Zhou Sen had not had a rich adoptive father, how would he have such a nurturing life?
"Okay, don't be pretentious, just think of it as the New Year's money I gave to our nephew." Zhou Sen chuckled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Boss, I owe you more and more..."
"No matter what you owe or not, we are all brothers who eat from the same pot. Work hard and remember not to do anything harmful to nature." Zhou Sen said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Boss, should I go to your house early tomorrow morning to pay New Year greetings?"
"No, you stay at home and spend time with your wife and children." Zhou Sen waved his hand vigorously behind his head, "I'll be alone for a few days."
Today is New Year's Eve. There are many people on the street and it is very lively. You can see bustling crowds everywhere, adults, children, old people, women...
Even the trams were crowded with people. Western faces with blond hair and brown eyes could be seen everywhere on the broad Central Street.
The young girl is nestled in her lover's arms, with a sweet smile on her face. The passing carriages shuttle through the crowd, and the bells hanging under the eaves of the carriages make a clear and sweet sound.
Yiguzhai.
Zhou Sen is here again.
He didn't have any purpose, he just wandered here, thinking that after he was transferred to the ultra-high stock, he would be in charge of the publication and review of newspapers and books.
Although the bookstore is at the end of the sale of newspapers, periodicals and books, this falls squarely within his purview.
Today, everyone is busy going home to celebrate the New Year, so there are not many people in the store. The boss, Qiao Sanlang, is also sorting and cleaning, and seems to be preparing to close early and go home.
"Zhou, Officer Zhou..." Qiao Sanlang looked up and saw Zhou Sen. Naturally, he recognized him at a glance, but his tone seemed a bit stiff, and he felt like he was thousands of miles away.
If Qiao Sanlang knew what he was doing now, he would probably look down and show that he was no longer welcome.
"Boss Qiao, I wish you a happy New Year in advance." Zhou Sen cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Officer Zhou, happy New Year, are you here to buy books today?" Qiao Sanlang replied, businessmen naturally cannot choose their customers.
But it was rare for him to have guests like Zhou Sen. Ordinary police officers would never have the leisure to visit a bookstore.
If they really come, they all have a purpose.
