"Zhou Sen-kun, can I have something to talk to you alone?" Ando Shenghou, who had recovered well, came to where Zhou Sen and Anna were.
It's really hard for Zhou Sen to refuse. Although he didn't expect to get any benefits from Ando Shenghou, after finally getting along with him for a few days, he can't be so unkind.
Anna wants to get up.
But Zhou Sen suppressed her, stood up and said, "Ando-kun, I'd better go to the dining car, where there are fewer people and it's more suitable for conversation."
"Okay." Ando Shenghou beamed.
The two went to the dining car together.
I found an empty table with no one in front or behind me and sat down. It was not meal time, and there were not many people in the dining car.
Those who can spend money in the dining car must be rich or powerful.
Zhou Sen ordered a cup of black tea, and Ando Morihou ordered a cup of coffee.
"Zhou Senjun, I am very grateful for your life-saving grace. If you have any difficulties in the future, I will try my best to help." Ando Morihou said very solemnly.
"Ando-kun, you don't have to be like this. I didn't save you because of your gratitude. This is the task given to me by the top." Zhou Sen shook his head.
He really didn't want to have anything to do with Ando Morihou. Objectively, he saved the other party, but without this mission, it would be difficult for him to return to Ice City just like this.
It can be said that both sides get what they need.
However, this objective fact cannot be changed.
"Ando deeply admires Mr. Zhou Sen for his noble character and integrity." Ando Shenghou stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen didn't dare to accept this bow. If anyone saw it, he would definitely be in trouble if he stabbed the Japanese. He quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Ando-kun, you are too polite."
"When I come back this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to stay in Manchukuo. I don't have many friends here. Mr. Zhou Sen, are you willing to be my friend?"
"Well, of course..." Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment, and Ando Morihou actually wanted to be friends with him.
"Great, I will stay in Ice City for a few more days. I heard that Mr. Zhou Sen is from Ice City. Can I ask Mr. Zhou Sen to be my guide and have a good tour of Ice City?" Ando Shenghou said.
"There should be no problem with this." Zhou Sen nodded, fearing that Ando Minghou would not be so free in Ice City.
"Then it's settled, I will definitely come to Zhou Senjun when the time comes!" Ando Shenghou said happily.
"Definitely. If Mr. Ando wants to find me, you can go directly to the Anthony Mansion on Coats Street. It's easy to find out there. Even if I'm not at home, someone will receive you and notify me." Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, I've written it down."
"I'll buy this cup." Zhou Sen slightly raised the tea cup in his hand and said. He knew that Ando Shenghou didn't have much money on him.
Ando Shenghou smiled awkwardly and did not insist.
He didn't explain his identity to Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask. Anyway, their intersection was only this one time, and I'm afraid it won't happen again in the future.
Drinking tea and coffee quietly, chatting about local customs and romance, just like two old friends who have known each other for a long time.
At lunch time, Anna also came over.
There was nothing good to eat on the train, so I ordered some food and ate it before returning to my seat.
The train passed through Suihua and stopped for twenty minutes. This is the intersection of Binbei Line and Suijia Line and is the main node station. Zhou Sen got out of the car and bought two packs of cigarettes, and all the cigarettes he had on him were gone.
"Krasnov, try our cigarettes." Zhou Sen tore open the wrapping paper, took a cigarette from inside, and handed it to Krasnov, who got out of the car for some air.
"Now that we are here, should I call you Wasim?"
"Wasim is my Russian name. In Ice City, everyone is used to calling me by my Chinese name, Zhou Sen." Zhou Sen said.
"Oh, I understand. I'll just call you Master Sen." Krasnov nodded.
"You have to explain well to Yin Funa and the children. You must be careful about what you should say and what you shouldn't say." Zhou Sen reminded.
"I know, don't worry about this." Krasnov nodded.
"That Rudolf will follow you first and help me inspect it to see if it can be used. If not, find an errand to send him away." Zhou Sen said, "Remember, don't reveal any secrets to him."
"clear."
"Master Sen, when we get to Ice City, I will be completely dependent on you." Krasnov said hurriedly when he saw Anna coming down wearing a scarlet woolen coat.
"It's easy to say, we are our own people, and I also need some help around me to do things. If you follow me from now on, I guarantee that your life will not be worse than yours over there!" Zhou Sen also noticed Anna and followed his words.
"The train is about to leave, are you two still chatting?" Anna came up in calfskin boots and greeted the two of them.
"We just came out to smoke a cigarette, and then we went up as soon as we were done. There was still time." Zhou Sen chuckled and explained.
Woohoo...
The whistle blows.
The train started slowly and headed south along the Binbei Line. It would only take about three hours to reach Ice City.
The people on the car were drowsy, and Zhou Sen was also a little sleepy. The police on the train did not dare to check their identities.
Ono had already opened up all the joints.
Feeling a need to urinate, Zhou Sen went to the toilet and came back to find Anna lying on his seat and falling asleep.
Zhou Sen could only take off his coat and cover her, then walked to Anna's seat opposite and sat down.
The ground outside the window has turned white and the snow is still falling, but there will be a good year without the snow. The lives of the people in this black land are becoming more and more miserable every year.
After Zhou Sen sighed, he could only say that he would do what he should do to the best of his ability. As for the outcome, he really had no control over it.
For him, the Ice City is a tiger's den and a wolf's den, while Khabarovsk is the most comfortable and happiest.
But he still has to come back. Not only are there people he cares about, but there is also this country and this nation that he loves deeply.
Even if you don't say it in words, this thing in your bones has already been engraved in your soul.
He may not talk about national justice, but he must have the bottom line as a human being. Besides, he also understands the general trend of the world, so how can he go against the trend?
Pishkov asked him to join the Communist International and become a special member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which he did not refuse.
However, he also made it clear that he has the right to choose to join the CCP in the future because he is Chinese.
Maybe he's not that naive now, but one day, he will be.
It was getting dark, it was past five o'clock, almost everything was dark outside, and the train would arrive in Ice City in an hour.
Zhou Sen suddenly felt a little panicked. This feeling was very similar to the "fear of being close to home" mentioned in the book.
With a "嘤四" sound, Anna opened her eyes, straightened up and sat up.
"I am asleep?"
"Well, I slept for almost two hours." Zhou Sen raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said.
"This is your coat, give it back to you." Anna took off the black woolen coat she was wearing and handed it to Zhou Sen.
"It won't be long before we arrive at the station. Let's salute more. In a moment, let's stop talking about calling two carriages to go back." Zhou Sen said, "I will take you to my house first, and then I will take you to the Krasnov family and the Serkin family. No, that place should be considered my property."
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"This is not what you should ask." Zhou Sen said.
"I knew you had to go to the Ningxiang Pavilion. After being separated for so long, it was a burning fire." Anna chuckled.
Zhou Sen ignored her, the woman went crazy, and she could say anything.
"What a pity, Natasha should like you..."
The train passed Sanskeshu Station and was about to arrive at the familiar Bingcheng Station. There were very few people getting off at Sanskeshu Station. After staying for three minutes, the train started again, and the next stop was Bingcheng Station.
Bingcheng Station is a big station, and the parking time is more than ten minutes. Not only do a large number of guests get off the train, but also guests get on, making it very busy.
In the VIP waiting room, Saburo Shibuya was pacing nervously. Hearing the news that the train was coming into the station, he immediately took the lead and ran onto the platform.
The train slowly stopped at the edge of the platform.
As soon as the carriage door opened, Zhou Sen and others walked down together with the other passengers. Bingcheng, after an absence of more than half a year, was finally back.
Go home.
He recognized Saburo Shibuya wearing a high velvet hat at a glance, but he didn't immediately greet him. Today's protagonist is not him.
Although he also returned in triumph, the rescued Ando Morihou was a big shot, how could he dare to overstep his bounds.
Therefore, after Ando Shenghou came down, he picked up his suitcase and followed Ando about one step behind.
As soon as Shibuya Saburo saw Ando Morihou, he ran over excitedly, just like a lover he hadn't seen for many years, full of tears: "Ando-kun, thank you for your hard work!"
Ando Morihou didn't know Shibuya Saburo, Ono was still lagging behind, only Zhou Sen followed him and introduced him hurriedly: "Ando-kun, this is my teacher, Shibuya Saburo, the deputy director of the Ice City Police Department. gentlemen."
"Shibuya-kun, I've heard Zhou Sen-kun mention you a long time ago. Thank you so much!" Ando Morihou knew that he could be rescued because of the efforts of the man in front of him.
"You are so polite!" Saburo Shibuya said excitedly, "Ando-kun, I have arranged a reception banquet for you at Yamato Hotel..."
"The reception banquet will be waived today. I have been taking the train all day. I am too tired. I want to rest early. How about changing it to tomorrow?" Ando Shenghou said.
"Okay, everything will be done according to Ando-kun's wishes." Shibuya Saburo naturally nodded in agreement, but after tonight, it may not be his turn to host the reception banquet tomorrow night. However, he has already taken the lead, and people He saved it by himself, and no one can take the credit from him. Whoever wants to organize the Fengfeng Banquet can do it.
"Teacher, we are also tired, so we will go back first." Zhou Sen took the opportunity to say.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you need anything, come to the hall tomorrow. Ono, help me send Zhou Sen and the others back. Use the Police Department's car." Saburo Shibuya told Ono.
"clear."
Zhou Sen and Anna got into Ono's car, followed closely by another car carrying the Klaas family and Rudolf.
Zhou Sen sent Anna to her home on Coats Street and told Yin Linna that she didn't even take the luggage off the car. He sent Krasnov and the others home to Gogol Street and settled them down.
Only then did Ono send him to the outside world.
Ono probably knew where Zhou Sen was going, so he didn't ask any questions. He sent the person directly to the back door of Ningxiang Pavilion, put him down and saluted, and drove away.
Zhou Sen carried his suitcase and came to the back door, took off his gloves, reached out and knocked on the door.
