"I met Komori by chance. On the day he was promoted, he hosted a banquet for his colleagues at the Ningxiang Pavilion. During the dinner, he talked about the dangers of running the Ningxiang Pavilion. He said a few words casually, which hit the point, so I took the opportunity to ask him Please tell me something, that's how we met." Bai Magnolia was already prepared.
But you still have to pretend to be asked suddenly and improvise a verbal explanation.
"What did he say that made you value him so much?" Chang Bo didn't think about it carefully. How could Zhou Sen talk about Ningxiang Pavilion during dinner?
Was this an early plan?
"He said that the Ningxiang Pavilion is neither high nor low. It has never cultivated talents with both sex and art and a selection mechanism. It will inevitably be difficult to sustain. Men just want to be fresh. Once the freshness wears off, they will naturally not return. I’m nostalgic. If Ningxiang Pavilion wants to revive, it needs beauty pageants and drafts to attract the most talented and talented people in Bingcheng!”
"He knows so much about this business and women, why do you want to be with this swinger?"
"It's true that he is a prodigal, but a prodigal will never be replaced by gold. Uncle Chang, I believe in my judgment of people."
“Since there is a solution, why should we close the Ningxiang Pavilion and completely transform it?”
"Of course I know that the method he mentioned can get rid of the predicament of Ningxiang Pavilion, but it still doesn't work, because this method is very simple and easy to plagiarize. Rather than a flash in the pan, it is better to end this industry completely. This kind of damage to one's moral character I don’t want to do any business anymore." Bai Yulan explained.
"That's right. You, a woman, have such a bad reputation for doing this kind of business." Chang Bo nodded.
"I broke up with the Ma family. Apart from this Ningxiang Pavilion, there is not much left. It is only possible to get it started now because of the funds provided by Komori."
"Why did he go out of his way to help you?"
"We both share the same problem and have complementary strengths. He has a sum of money in his hands, but he doesn't know what to do with it. He doesn't trust it at home, and it will depreciate in the bank, while we are short of a sum of money to make a comeback, so we hit it off right away." Bai Yu Lan said, "He doesn't care about my past, but he still understands me and is willing to marry me. It's so difficult for me to find a good match. How can I miss it so easily when I finally meet one?"
"But, you also said that men are all looking for novelty. Once his novelty towards you wears off, what will you do then?"
"A couple will always go from passion to dullness. This is an objective law. Therefore, as long as our interests are consistent and deeply tied together, we can transform from lovers to husband and wife, and then to inseparable relatives. Isn't it good? "?" Bai Yulan said, she had a very clear view on matters between men and women.
"Miss, are you really sure you can hold it?"
"If he really wants to spend his whole life with me, why should I think about being able to hold him? But if he really has second thoughts, why should I hold on to him and not let go?" Bai Yulan smiled lightly and asked. .
"Then Miss, you..."
"Uncle Chang, I know the husband I chose," Bai Yulan said.
"I'm worried that my uncle will do something bad to you after he finds out about your other identity." Chang Bo sighed.
"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own secrets."
…
Early the next morning, Zhou Sen went to work in "Sen", even though he was about to report to the Bingcheng Police Academy.
But until the "roster" is found, he has to continue to stay outside in the name of "recuperating".
Of course, time is running out.
There are only four days left after all the calculations have been done. If he can't find it within four days, he will have to "report for duty". God knows what will happen by then.
"These are files related to the investigation of Serkin. They are all confidential. You can only read them. After reading them, they must be handed over to me for safekeeping." Anna came over with a box.
"good."
Zhou Sen nodded. He tried his best not to get involved in these things, but in the end he couldn't escape. Of course, how could he pass the Japanese screening without struggling.
If he had agreed from the beginning, I am sure the Japanese would not have shown such trust in him.
Although there is a double quotation mark added to this "trust".
"Thanks."
"I also want to complete the task as soon as possible." After Anna counted the documents and handed them to Zhou Sen, she went to play with the exercise equipment Zhou Sen prepared for herself.
Zhou Sen spent the whole morning quietly reading documents, occasionally getting up to move his body and go for convenience.
At noon, I ate baked pancakes and soaked them with oil tea. After two pieces, I felt full and still resisted hunger.
Originally, his understanding of Serkin was a very flat character, such as age, height and other data. After reading the investigation file Anna gave him, a three-dimensional and plump image of Serkin was formed in his mind.
On the surface, Serkin is a descendant of Belarus who extremely hates the "Soviet Russian" regime, and is deeply pained by communism. He often publishes criticism and slanderous articles in newspapers, and his words are sharp. If you just judge from these remarks, he is an out-and-out leader. Royalist without buckle.
But everyone has two faces, and his other face turned out to be a Soviet spy, a Bolshevik who believed in communism.
This is a person who is good at pretending and has firm beliefs.
From this point of view, he is really similar to Anthony's father. In the original memory, the impression of Anthony's father is that of a grumpy, taciturn Belarusian businessman, and his education was more of a rough command. of.
However, he was able to disguise his other identity so well that it was not exposed at all in front of him.
Both of them are very good at pretending.
Front came with a depressed expression. It was obvious that he didn't get many useful clues on the copper key.
Maybe this is a scam?
"Wasim, time is running out. You really can't think of any information related to this copper key?"
"Mr. Front, you have searched so many places in my home and company, what else do you want from me?" Zhou Sen helplessly spread his hands.
"But, I always think you should know." Front said, staring at Zhou Sen.
"How could I possibly know? You told me even my adoptive father's other identity after his death. Before that, I didn't know anything about it." Zhou Sen said innocently.
"Ana, how about torture?"
Zhou Sen's expression changed slightly: "Even if you torture me, I still have this answer. I really don't know."
"Then tell me, is there any other place your adoptive father Anthony often goes to in Ice City?"
"There is a place here that he often goes to, but it is estimated that no one goes there now..." Zhou Sen said.
"where?"
"The racecourse is only open from April to October every year. Dad Anthony likes horse racing and betting on horses. As long as he is in Ice City during this period, he often goes there. I still remember, he and Ivanovich My uncle bought a Turkic horse in partnership and kept it at the racecourse club..."
"Racecourse Club, great, great, why didn't I think of that!" Front suddenly jumped up, spinning around in excitement.
"Mr. Front, what's wrong with you?"
"Let's go, let's go to the racecourse club now?" Front said excitedly.
"I'm afraid that's not possible now. The racecourse club is closed and is not accepting guests," Zhou Sen said.
"Why?" Front was stunned.
"Zhou Sen is right. The racecourse club is not accepting guests now because it is not yet time for the horse racing to start. No one is going to the racecourse club at all, except for the racehorses that are sent to the club and need someone to take care of them." Anna said for Zhou Sen explained.
"Can you please let us go in through Chief Shibuya?" Front asked.
"I don't know about this. I have to report to Commander Shibuya to find out." Anna shook her head.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to see Governor Shibuya!"
Front was impatient and told Anna directly.
Anna glanced at Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen shrugged. The meaning was obvious. What does this have to do with me? Didn't he ask me to go?
"Mr. Front, even if you have to go, don't rush it for a while. Anyway, I have to give a routine report to Chief Shibuya in the evening. How about we talk about it then?"
"That's it, okay, let's wait until tonight!" Front thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Front originally came to find him, and Zhou Sen rarely found peace.
The racecourse club information has been revealed, and he doesn't know what Anthony's father left for him, but it shouldn't be a "roster" or something like that.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a trap for yourself!
If he can go tomorrow and fails to find a "roster", the pressure will be shifted to his shoulders.
Is Zhou Sen still able to read the investigation file in his hand?
I feel extremely irritable, but I still have to pretend to be relaxed and calm. This acting is really not an easy job.
At this time, he needs to be calmer. Once he panics and makes a mistake, it will not only be his own life that is at risk.
Only when many people were involved did he understand what a great responsibility meant.
Men only have to shoulder the burden and understand responsibility before they can grow up and mature. This is the price.
Zhou Sen began to ponder every detail of Serkin in his mind, hoping to find some clues in the details.
In addition to the postman, he should also have emergency contact information. Also, he has direct contact with Anthony's father. On the surface, they have no special relationship. How they got in touch is just that Anthony's father published it in "Songjiang Daily". Do you know Serkin when doing advertising for your own company? But advertising should be with the manager of the advertising department. He is a reporter and is often outside. They must have a secret place to meet.
The Japanese must have compared the places where they had intersections. The file mentioned a place, Lot Street: Hans Clinic.
This clinic is run by Germans and has been in Bingcheng for some years. It has good medical skills and many people come to see the doctor for no reason.
Anthony's father loves sweets and often has toothaches, so he often goes to get his teeth cleaned, while Serkin has serious stomach problems...
The medical records at the clinic show that they went to the doctor at about the same time, but they were not treated for the same disease, and the doctor was not sure whether they knew each other. There was a nurse who saw them and talked to them together.
They also investigated the Hans Clinic and did not find any cases. The doctor in the clinic was German and held a German passport, which made the Japanese afraid to mess around.
Serkin's stomach ailment required him to take an imported medicine. Zhou Sen didn't know the specific ingredients, but among the relics about Serkin that Anna gave him, there was indeed a bottle of stomach medicine, which was in capsule form.
This kind of medicine is very expensive and is definitely not available in China. It is all imported.
Zhou Sen checked the purchase record, and then compared it with the medicine box that Serkin carried with him. It was custom-made by him. In order to prevent himself from forgetting to take medicine, he took out seven capsules from the bottle at one time, according to the amount for one week, so that Know whether you have taken your medicine on any given day.
Serkin had a habit of buying four weeks of medicine at a time. The day he died was Wednesday. There should be four capsules left in the medicine box, but there should be two weeks and fourteen capsules left in the medicine bottle. But now There were twelve capsules left, and one of them was taken for testing. In other words, there should have been thirteen capsules in the medicine bottle. Where did the other capsule go?
It was Serkin who had eaten it in his stomach. It had already melted during the autopsy, so it was naturally impossible to find it.
But if it is not eaten in the stomach, where does this capsule go?
Serkin's home and belongings had been carefully inspected by Anna and the Japanese, and if anything had been discovered, they would have been discovered long ago.
