“There is nothing that cannot be hidden that will not be exposed; there is nothing that cannot be hidden that will not be known.”
Zhou Sen took out the two cigarettes given by Takeo Suzuki, if he really had some hint to him.
It should be on top of these two Hardman cigarettes.
Zhou Sen carefully looked at the outer packaging and found nothing unusual. However, he found that the seal of one of the cigarette packages had been opened.
After opening it, it was sealed.
From the outside, there is basically no flaw, at least ordinary people can't find it. This is the secret agent's letter-opening and restoration method.
After Zhou Sen opened it in the same way, he found a line of English text at the seal, which was the beginning of the paragraph.
It is certain that this phrase did not originally appear on the packaging of Hardman cigarettes, although it was written in print.
Because he opened another cigarette, the seal was blank with no words.
This is definitely Suzuki Takeo's doing. Why did he do this? What message is this sending to himself?
He is a Japanese and the deputy of the Ice City secret service. What can't he say to himself?
This made Zhou Sen a little confused.
Since I can't figure out Suzuki Takeo's motives, I'll wait until I have the opportunity to observe it again in the future. Now I can only dig it out from the sentence itself.
To analyze the information in a sentence, the first thing is the literal information. This is very simple and not difficult to understand. Even if Zhou Sen's English is not very good, he can still understand it.
Then there is the source of the text, whether it is an aphorism from a famous person, any allusions, etc. This is more difficult.
These are the basis for judging the precise meaning of the sentence written by the other party. Generally, it will definitely not be the literal meaning, but will extend other meanings.
Zhou Sen had read many famous foreign works. He was searching in his mind, but he couldn't think of any book where this sentence came from, and it was said by that famous person.
What is this?
Let yourself guess the riddle, just in case you can't figure it out.
Zhou Sen was speechless for a while. What on earth did Suzuki Takeo mean?
He closed his eyes and began to recall everything that had happened to him since he learned the identity of Anthony's father last year until now.
Especially when it comes to books and the like.
Priest Moby, that Bible!
His mind started to spin, recalling things in his mind one by one. Finally, he touched a certain point.
Zhou Sen has no special feelings about Orthodox Christianity. He has read it but does not remember its content very clearly.

But now that he had thought of it, he naturally wanted to take it out and look for it.
There are two Bibles in total, the Old Testament and the New Testament. They are both handwritten copies of Anthony's father, so he took them to Khabarovsk and brought them back.
Because it is a handwritten copy, the layout is naturally different from that of print...
Zhou Sen quickly took out the two dusty Bibles from the bottom of the box and began to look through them page by page.
finally.
He saw a line of text. Although it was written in Russian, its content was exactly the same as the English meaning of the seal on the cigarette package.
Could it be that it was this Bible that Suzuki Takeo reminded himself of? But after getting this Bible, he made the same mistake dozens of times without finding any gaps or abnormalities that could hide secrets.
He even bought a Russian version of the Bible and compared it with it, but he didn't find any mistakes made by Anthony when he copied it.
Do you want me to translate this Bible into English first?
Isn’t this workload a bit heavy?
My English is only half-baked...
No, there seems to be an English version of the Bible at home. Is that the one you are referring to? Zhou Sen was shocked by his idea.
It seems that I have to go back tomorrow.
Zhou Sen put down his thoughts and looked at the clock on the wall. It was getting late and it was time to go to bed. He couldn't neglect his newlywed wife.
Early the next morning, before going to work, Zhou Sen went to his home on Coats Street and picked up the English version of the Bible from the study.
Of course, after Anna went to work.
Therefore, it was inevitable that he arrived at the police station almost late, which surprised Anna.
But it’s not hard to ask too many questions. Occasionally, it’s not a big surprise if you get to work late.
Don't do things that have nothing to do with work at work, even if it's fishing or taking a nap, you won't do personal things.

"Come in."
"Last night, I contacted the hunter." Anna walked in and reported to Zhou Sen about her contact with the hunter.
"How did he say?"
"He said everything is up to you. As for Yamamoto Satoshi, he will be conceited." Anna said.
"Next time you contact him, tell him that we are only grasping and understanding the relevant situation. Yamamoto Satoshi will report what he should report and ask him not to hide anything." Zhou Sen ordered.
"Understood." Anna nodded, "Then I'll go first."
"By the way, have you caught the Soviet prisoner who escaped the night before yesterday?" Zhou Sen called Anna and asked.
"I haven't heard of it. It seems not yet. No one from the Operations Brigade of the Special Service Division has seen it from yesterday to today." Anna said.
"I understand, go and do your work."
…
"Zhou Sen, there is a Yiyou bookstore on Xinshi Street that has seized a batch of illegal publications. Go check it out, bring the publications back, and give me a report..." Zhou Sen, who was fishing at work, was suddenly pushed out of his office. Door, the inspection chief poked his head in and said.
"Yes, Chief Aoki." Zhou Sen quickly stood up and agreed.
This is the first time Zhou Sen has been assigned to work in the field. This kind of thing is inevitable, and it is impossible for you to sit comfortably in the office all the time.
"Anna, come with me!" Zhou Sen came to the next door and called Anna.
"Do you want to apply for a gun when you go out?" Anna asked.
"It's not necessary to have a gun..." Zhou Sen thought for a moment, "It's better to apply for one. Apply for one for me. I'm most accustomed to it."
"knew."
…
Yiyou Bookstore on Xinshi Street is not very big. It mainly sells newspapers and periodicals. The books are also idle books, and there are relatively few books for real learning.
But in this bookstore, a batch of books promoting "communism" and slogans "Anti-Manchu and Anti-Japanese" were discovered.
"Zhou Sen, this is a small workshop. The printing quality is not very good, but it is better at being secretive. The printers and typesetters are regular and not easy to be discovered. They were discovered this time because they were careless. They printed The defective product was not destroyed and was taken home by a clerk in the bookstore to use as toilet paper. As a result, a neighbor found out and reported it." Anna learned about the situation.
"It's fire-proof, burglar-proof, and neighbor-proof!" Zhou Sen exclaimed.
"ah?"
"Where's the prisoner?"
"Boss Luo Yiyou and three guys were arrested and have been taken back for interrogation," Anna said.
"Then why are we here? Bring the things back, okay?"
"It's not that there's no one in the hall anymore. They've all gone to catch the Soviet fugitive, but we can't be forced to work as coolies." Anna gave a wry smile.
"Okay, stop talking, let's get to work, that Wu En, come here and move things..." Zhou Sen said as he greeted, "I'm going to call home. It seems that I have to work overtime tonight and can't go back to eat. "
"OK."
…
"Brother, why did you call me?" New Stage, Jiang Rou's artistic director's office.
Jiang Rou was pleasantly surprised when she received the call.
"I called home just now, but no one answered. I guess your sister Lan has gone out. I have a girl on Xinshi Street right now. She may have to work overtime tonight. I don't know if I can go back. I told her not to wait for me. ”
"Oh, okay, I know, I will tell Sister Lan." When Jiang Rou heard this, her heart suddenly thumped.
Xinshi Street.
No, there is a secret traffic point there, where the printed slogans and brochures of the Ice City underground party are.
Zhou Sen's call was clearly a warning call. She immediately understood that something big was going on, and she had to quickly notify people related to Xinshi Street to move, just in case.
Zhou Sen knew that Jiang Rou understood. Although his call was risky, he didn't say anything except mentioning Xinshi Street.
No information was revealed, but if Xinshi Street Yiyou Bookstore is really a point of my underground party organization, Jiang Rou will immediately notify people associated with it to evacuate, just in case.
This is emergency avoidance, and it is also an experience gained with blood.
Fortunately, Jiang Rou does not need to go on stage today, otherwise, she would not be able to find an excuse to go out now. She can make a phone call directly, but she can avoid making this call, so try not to make it.
After finding a reason and explanation, Jiang Rou quickly left the new stage.
…
Zhou Sen, after checking all the books and items in Yiyou Bookstore, moved them to the special warehouse of the Police Department.
There was a lot of stuff, and it was transported directly back to the police station, where there was no place to put it. Basically, a few of the seized printed materials were kept as evidence, and most of them were destroyed directly after the inspection and statistics.
"Director, there are a lot of negative plates for this kind of printing. It seems that this printing workshop has been around for a long time..."
"Check where the paper and ink used for printing come from." Zhou Sen casually ordered.
"clear."
Although he knew that this would involve many people, this was the normal procedure of the Puppet Manchukuo police special department.
If he doesn't say anything, someone will follow this clue to investigate. If they find something relevant and spend money to eliminate the disaster, it doesn't matter. That would be bad luck, but generally those who can do paper and ink business have certain abilities. social relationship.
You can prepare the ink yourself, but you cannot produce the paper yourself, but it is generally not difficult to find the source.
Large purchases must be recorded.
"Zhou Sen, please submit the confiscated evidence report to Police Officer Tang Fei of Pugao Branch about this kid from Yiyou Bookstore. He is responsible for the specific investigation of this kid." Aoki suddenly appeared in the evidence warehouse and ordered Zhou Sen.
"Okay." Zhou Sen agreed directly without hesitation.
He didn't want to get his hands on this kind of thing. Since he didn't have to be responsible for it, that was the best thing.
"Director, the work here is exhausting. It's too much to use it for meritorious service by someone with a high profile..." Zhou Sen assigned several people to work under Zhou Sen, except Anna.
"Who are these anti-Manchurians and anti-Japanese people? Don't you know if you encounter them, which one is more important, your merits or your lives?" Zhou Sen asked in return.
"Director, aren't we apologizing for your injustice?" one of the young police officers named Yu Xueming complained.
"It's best for people in our line of work to be safe. If you want to go out with us and file a report, I'll approve it."
"Director, I'm just saying casually. I'm an only child in my family. I haven't gotten married yet and have a son. If something happens, how will my parents survive..."
