"Xiao Sen, what is your relationship with the Japanese?" Bai Yulan finally had the opportunity to ask this question seriously in front of Zhou Sen.
"Let's put it this way, although I do things for them, I am not of the same mind as them." Zhou Sen thought for a moment, he was facing this problem, and avoiding it would not solve it.
"Then in the eyes of others, what's the difference between you and those traitors who murdered the people of Bingcheng and the anti-Japanese comrades?"
"Yu Lan, there are some things that I have hidden from you. Due to some reasons, I cannot say them." Zhou Sen said, "But I promise you, I will not let my hands be stained with the blood of my compatriots."
"Can you guarantee it?"
"I know they will definitely force me to bleed, but for some things someone has to bear the infamy. If someone does it, if you don't do it, I won't do it, and if everyone doesn't do it, then we will have to pay even more. , a heavier price." Zhou Sen said.
"Are you from Chongqing or the CCP?" Bai Yulan was very smart and heard that there was something extraordinary in Zhou Sen's words.
"I am a Chinese." Zhou Sen replied. There are some secrets that he cannot tell. This will bring danger to Bai Yulan and it is also necessary to keep it secret.
"Xiaomori, you know that Lao Ma's death is related to the Japanese. I also hate the Japanese invaders who invaded our three eastern provinces. Therefore, I will never allow my man to work for the Japanese and become a traitor that everyone reviles!" Bai Yulan said.
"I work for the Japanese, and I'm afraid this won't change for a while. Unless we abandon everything in Bingcheng and stay away from the Northeast, they won't let me go. But at least I can still control how to do this, and the traitors, I will never do it, so you can rest assured." Zhou Sen explained.
"How do you expect me to trust you?"
"Time will tell everything. The days when the Japanese dominate our land are only a few years away." Zhou Sen said.
"How many years?"
"Oh, I mean, the Japanese have a huge appetite. Sooner or later, they will be overwhelmed by their appetite. Moreover, there is no way to stop on this road. Once the wheel of destiny is started and the direction is set, it cannot stop. , or even make a U-turn, it will either succeed or be shattered to pieces. In my opinion, it can only be swallowed by the abyss of ambition and eventually be buried in the long river of history!" Zhou Sen said.
"What you said is a bit too profound, I don't quite understand it."
"Wait another two years and you will understand." Zhou Sen chuckled, "Yu Lan, I am an orphan. Although I have not felt the warmth of my family since I was a child, the blood of the Chinese is still flowing in my bones. At least I There is another surname that belongs to the Chinese people. My surname is Zhou. No matter where my surname originated from, I also know that the law and heaven respect the ancestors. I don’t want to become a lonely ghost after death, unable to meet the ancestors of the Zhou family. .”
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, do you think I am greedy for money or power?" Zhou Sen asked, "There are some traitors who have selfish motives in their hearts and are greedy for power and wealth."
"Aren't you greedy for life and afraid of death?" Bai Yulan asked. Of course, she knew that Zhou Sen might not be true, but she was afraid that he was hiding it so deeply that she wouldn't be able to tell.
"If I were not greedy for money, power, and life, the Japanese would not elect me," Zhou Sen said.
"If you want to treat this 'traitor' well, do you need to add another layer of protection?" Bai Yulan asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know what your past virtues were?" Bai Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, saying charmingly.
"Yu Lan, stop joking, you are testing me, right?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I'm really not testing you. If you really have this idea, there is a ready candidate." Bai Yulan said.
"No, I can't ruin her reputation." Zhou Sen said flatly, he knew who Bai Yulan was talking about.
"Why don't you say that this is a kind of protection for her?" Bai Yulan said, "In the past six months since you have been away, Xiaorou can be said to be the recognized queen of Pingju opera in Bingcheng. Now there are more people who like her. How many people are staring at her, thinking about having both wealth and sex!"
"As long as Xiaorou doesn't want to do it, who can do anything to her?"
"It's not like you don't know the world of Bingcheng. If these people can't catch up after them, what will happen?" Bai Yulan said, "We can't keep an eye on her all the time, just in case she's not in our sight one day. Inside, that would be dangerous.”
"But even if I do what you said, will the person with crooked thoughts stop?" Zhou Sen asked in return.
"With this reputation, at least some people will look back on him."
"Yu Lan, this is unfair to you. It will be difficult for Xiaorou to meet a good match in the future. I won't do this kind of thing, but there is another way. I can formally swore a knot with Xiaorou and recognize her as my sister. ." Zhou Sen said.
"are you serious?"
"Of course, now that I have you, I won't have any undue thoughts about other women." Zhou Sen said decisively.
Bai Yulan's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I will talk to Xiaorou later and listen to her thoughts. If she agrees, I will decide on the names of you brothers and sisters."
"Okay, call Xiaorou up in the evening, let the whole family have a meal, and it will be a blessing for me." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Okay, let Axiang cook some of her specialty dishes."
"By the way, is the darkroom at home still there?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Yes, we don't know much about photography. Even every once in a while, Axiang will clean it. We don't dare to move the things inside and keep them as they are." Bai Yulan nodded.
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Sen nodded. He had already learned how to develop and print microfilm.
The microfilm in the bullet in the gun handed to Unen can be developed and printed. What is on the film is likely to be the list and contact information of the "Come to Europe" group.
However, if you want to know the specific content, you must have a code book that cooperates with the decryption. Zhou Sen has been thinking about this code book on the way back, which one of the items Anthony left for him is most likely to be Code book.
No matter what, let's develop and print out the contents of the microfilm in the bullet.
This work cannot be delayed and must be carried out immediately.
I went to Wu En to retrieve my gun and checked it. All the bullets in the magazine were there, especially the last bullet.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that if he was gone for more than half a year, something unexpected would happen. If Wu En used this gun, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Wu En had wrapped the gun in oil paper and hid it under the bed board in his house, never touching it.
After lunch, Zhou Sen locked himself in a dark room and told Wu En that no one was allowed to tell where he was.
Zhou Sen locked the darkroom, then started developing and printing, mixing potions, cutting photo paper...
One by one, densely packed with digital black-and-white photos, they were developed, printed, and dried.
After a busy afternoon, she developed the contents of the entire roll of film into photos. She rerolled the film and stuffed it into the bullet casing.
He doesn't plan to destroy the film directly, but he can find a place to bury it deeply. In this way, only he knows about it, and others will no longer know its existence.
As for these developed photos, Zhou Sen would make a copy, then destroy all the photos, and then use the copied cipher text to decipher the original content.
After all, the photo is too big, too thick, eye-catching, and not easy to hide. But after copying it, it no longer exists. A piece of paper is very thin and can be rolled up...
In the evening, family dinner.
Qin Lang, a boy who didn't know how he knew the news, actually came over to have a meal, and Zhou Sen couldn't drive him away.
I had to let him join the table.
Counting Wu En and Chang Bo, there are seven people in total, which is quite a lot of people. The meal is naturally lively. In addition, Qin Lang is a familiar guy. He has lowered his rank and worked as a waiter, serving dishes and He was a sommelier, and he didn't think of himself as the second young master of the Qin family at all.
"My Healing Game"
This change is a bit big and surprising.
The second son of Qin is now the general manager of two stages, Tongle Stage and New Stage. The two stages have also implemented differentiated management and have no competition with each other. The new stage is naturally built to be a place for high-end Liyuan art and cultural communication, and The Tongle Stage is mainly about down-to-earth entertainment performances. It may be a market art. As long as there are people who watch it and are willing to buy tickets, they can go on the Tongle Stage. For a time, many idle folk artists joined the Tongle Stage. Cooperate, play together, and even form a professional drama club.
If this is some kind of party show, just throw it together and we'll have a good time.
As for the new stage, although Qin Lang is the general manager, the artistic director is Jiang Rou, and Jiang Rou usually has the final say on the new stage. In the past six months, Yue Opera, Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera and even Cantonese Opera have all had their own teams. The new stage was on stage for performances and it was extremely lively.
Tickets for the new stage are basically hard to come by, beating all other stages.
"Brother, you said you were only going there for a few months, but it turns out you have been there for more than half a year. We all thought something had happened to you. Sister Lan was worried day and night, and even went to Jile Temple to pray for a peace charm for you. "After sending Qin Lang away, Jiang Rou stayed. When Zhou Sen came back, he didn't talk to everyone properly, especially Jiang Rou. He just said hello in a hurry.
"There are some things that I can't help myself with. Fortunately, I'm back!" Zhou Sen chuckled.
He had some doubts about Jiang Rou's identity. Although Beshkov didn't tell him specifically, it was obviously not a coincidence that Jiang Rou had appeared at the "Fu" Ji grocery store on Paotu Street.
A person's normal living circle, or psychological safety range, is within one or two kilometers of life and work. Sometimes these two circles overlap, and Jiang Rou's life and work circle should not be as far as Paotu Street. , Moreover, in the circle where she lives, there are many grocery stores, so she does not need to go so far, and she goes there specifically.
Serkin's secret contact point also happened to be at the "Fu" grocery store. In addition, Pishkov said that Salman had tried to contact him privately through connections with the Communist International, but he was not sure about him at the time. "Color", no next step was taken, and later I just doubted his identity and wanted to test him further.
He had already gone to participate in the special training of the Japanese, and after that, he lost the opportunity.
If someone from the Communist International had contacted him, there would be fewer people to suspect, because his social circle was not large. During that time, the only people who suddenly appeared around him could make him associate and suspect him. Ginger softened.
And Jiang Rou also had a cross-relationship with Serkin's emergency contact point.
