"Zhou Sen, what do you think of the 'Yiyou' bookstore?" Akiyama Nosuke raised his head and asked directly.
"My subordinates feel that this case is not complicated. Although Officer Tang Fei was too hasty in handling this case, he was also eager to do his best. After all, his authority was limited, and he did not know the situation in the bookstore at the beginning. , when encountering such a crime, the first choice is to arrest the person."
"Well, what you said makes sense. In that case, arresting people may not be the best, but it is the fastest." Akiyama Nosuke agreed with Zhou Sen's judgment.
Objectively speaking, Tang Fei could not resist the temptation and directly ordered the arrest, but his initial judgment was not wrong.
Who would have thought that such a small bookstore would hide such a big fish.
Therefore, we can't blame Tang Fei for acting rashly.
"Based on my understanding of the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party, this point has been exposed. Anyone who has come into contact with this point will immediately move and hide. Now that one day has passed, even if we block the news, I'm afraid it will be too late... "Akiyama Nosuke was actually very angry.
This news came too suddenly, just in time for Corey to devote all his strength to capturing the Soviet prisoner of war who escaped from the army hospital.
But this is likely to be his first big mistake since he took office as the chief of the Secret Service. If it breaks, then he will be completely established in the Secret Service.
"I originally wanted to leave this project to you, but now it seems that there is basically no possibility of digging deeper into this project."
Thank you!
Zhou Sen was responsible for this kind of thing before it was too late to hide. Wasn't he causing trouble for himself?
"Tang Fei is still interrogating the Communist named Luo. Go and see if you can help. If not, just let him do the hard work." Akiyama Nosuke ordered.
"Yes, section chief." Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. This was a legitimate excuse to inquire for information.
…
The torture room on the underground floor of the police station.
Zhou Sen came down with an uneasy heart. He came with an order, so naturally no one stopped him or asked any questions.
There are multiple torture rooms here. The walls of the torture rooms are covered with various torture instruments, each one covered with the blood of innocent people.
It's cold and the lights flicker on and off. This is probably the most gloomy place in the entire police station building.
Penetrating screams came from the torture chamber.
The executioners have long been accustomed to this perverted pleasure of torturing people every day. Their minds have long been numb and twisted, and they can no longer be called human beings.
"Luo, are you going to tell me or not..." Tang Fei's roaring voice rushed out, shaking Zhou Sen's eardrums.
"Bah, you traitors! Sooner or later, you people will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history..."
"If you keep talking back, beat me, beat me hard!" Tang Fei was spat on, and he became angry and ordered his men to continue the torture.
Zhou Sen knew that he was not suitable to go in at this time, but hearing the screams, he felt a fire in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
After all, what you see on paper is not as shocking as what you see with your own eyes.
No one can come in here, so there is not even a guard at the door of the torture room.
In fact, the door was unlocked and opened with just a push.
When the executioners heard the noise, they all turned around in shock, stopped holding the whip in their hands, and looked at Zhou Sen who walked in from the door.
"Director Zhou, why are you here?" Tang Fei's eyes were red. It was obvious that he was criticized and stimulated at the meeting. Now he came down as if he was knocking the bookstore owner's mouth open.
"The section chief asked me to come down and take a look. See if I can help you in any way?" Zhou Sen walked in, covering his mouth and nose slightly.
"That's great. If Director Zhou can help me pry open this guy's mouth, that would be great."
"No, what you can't do, I can't even do." Zhou Sen said hurriedly, "I'm just here to go through the motions."
Tang Fei understood. The section chief asked him to come down. He couldn't disobey the order, and he didn't mean to take credit. In other words, he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Anyway, it's all about it, you do it yourself, I don't care.
"Director Zhou, are you just going to watch?"
"Officer Tang, let's go, come out and have a cigarette and take a breath. What's so good about beating people?" Zhou Sen called Tang Fei out. He couldn't bear to watch his compatriots being tortured.
"Okay."
Zhou Sen handed Tang Fei a cigarette, lit it for him, and lit one himself. The two of them started smoking outside the door, listening to the screams inside.
"Have you figured out the identity of this person named Luo?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I don't know. Each of his bones is so hard. This guy has fainted three times. He either cursed or just kept silent."
"Didn't we arrest three guys, but we couldn't find a breakthrough from them?" Zhou Sen asked.
"It's the same, just like the smelly stones in the latrine, smelly and hard."
"Is this the case for all Communist parties?"
"Well, anyway, all the Communists I've seen are like this. There are very few weak ones." Tang Fei nodded.
"That won't be easy to interrogate. Don't they all have family members?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Yes, I caught him too, but it's useless." Tang Fei shook his head.
Zhou Sen wouldn't say such nonsense about why his wife and children are not harmed. If he really had this understanding, how could these people become traitors and become the lackeys for the Japanese invaders to brutally suppress the common people?
"I just came here to take a look. I'll give you the report you asked for this afternoon. Maybe I can give you some help." Zhou Sen finished smoking a cigarette, threw it to the ground, and stamped out the cigarette butt.
"Okay, then I won't send it off and will go find you in the afternoon." Tang Fei nodded.
"good."
After finding out the information, Zhou Sen's goal had been achieved. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help but call it a day.
It's better to stay out of sight.
He couldn't save them. Even if he could, he couldn't save them. His job was not to save people. Once he was exposed, the hard work of so many people before would be in vain.
Which one is light and which one is heavy, he can tell clearly.
…
"Okay, the report is completed. You all stayed up all night with me yesterday. You can go back early to rest today and come to work on time tomorrow." Zhou Sen released his men in advance.
"Thank you, director!"
"What about you?" Anna asked.
"I still have to wait for Tang Fei to come over and hand the report to him. You can go back first and don't worry about me." Zhou Sen waved his hand.
Everyone nodded and left one after another.
Zhou Sen waited in the office for a long time before Tang Fei came over. He almost forgot that he had to come to Zhou Sen to get the report.
Before coming, I washed my face with cold water to refresh myself a bit.
"The report is here. Do you want to read it here and make some comments, or take it back and read it?" Zhou Sen handed the report to him, got up and brewed him a cup of coffee.
"Thank you." While reading the report, Tang Fei reached for the coffee and took a sip, "Yes, Director Zhou, your coffee tastes better than what I drank in Madier."
"Haha, Officer Tang likes it. I will come here often in the future." Zhou Sen chuckled. His way of doing things in the police department was not to take the initiative to make friends, but he would not refuse others who were willing to associate with him.
"Don't call me Officer Tang. It seems awkward. Call me Old Tang." Tang Fei said.
"Then don't call me Director Zhou. Just call me Xiao Zhou." Zhou Sen chuckled, "If you have any questions in the report, I can answer and correct them immediately."
"This bookstore will hold some discussions from time to time to learn what is going on. Who usually participates. Is there a specific list?" Tang Fei is also an old policeman and immediately discovered the valuable information in the report.
"There is a list, and I've attached it to the back, but I don't know if they are real people. They only have one name and no other specific information, or their names are just pseudonyms or code names." Zhou Sen took a sip. Tea said.
"Can't we arrest people according to the list?"
"It's not my job to arrest people." Zhou Sen said slowly.
"Yes, what do you think these communists are trying to do? They can only live a good life if they have to fight against the Empire of Japan..." Tang Fei sighed.
"If you approve my report, sign it, and go through the formalities, then my work here will come to an end for the time being." Zhou Sen said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work. This report of yours is very detailed and better than the ones I have worked with before." Tang Fei flicked the report in his hand and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I will come here often when I have time."
"Welcome at any time." Zhou Sen nodded and stood up to see him off. When Tang Fei's back disappeared, his expression slowly turned cold.
…
"Axiang, boil some water, I want to take a bath!" After returning to Ningxiang Pavilion, Zhou Sen told Axiang that in the winter, taking a hot bath is the best way to relieve fatigue and also have a good sleep. .
"Okay."
After getting into the bathtub comfortably, Zhou Sen felt warm and comfortable all over.
I heard footsteps outside the door, it was Bai Yulan coming in.
We are a couple and have already tried bathing together, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. You should bring yourself a clean change of clothes and come in.
"Xiao Sen, don't soak for too long, it's time to come out for dinner." Bai Yulan put down the clean clothes and put away the dirty clothes.
"I know, I'll come right away." Zhou Sen nodded with his eyes closed.
Had a meal.
Zhou Sen went back to his room directly. He just wanted to have a good sleep now. He hadn't slept all day and all night, and he was really sleepy.
"Xiao Sen, Chang Bo said that the people over there asked to meet us as soon as possible, but the time and place must be chosen by them." Bai Yulan also followed in. She could see that Zhou Sen was very tired today, but he had to talk about the matter.
"No, we have to decide the time and place!" Zhou Sen emphasized.
"this……"
"If they are not happy, we can change to another team. I think as long as we are willing, there will be no problem even if we cooperate with the Anti-Union." Zhou Sen said. "On my territory, you have to follow my rules."
"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Chang to convey your message to them tomorrow." Magnolia thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yu Lan, we must absolutely ensure our own safety. We must not be careless. I have the materials and information in my hands, and I have the absolute right to speak. Only in this way can we ensure our own safety. If he feels that he does not accept it, then why bother?" Come see us." Zhou Sen said, "Speaking of trust, wouldn't it be established after we have cooperated once?"
"As for the meeting place, Chang Bo has chosen a few. Do you want to listen to them?" Bai Yulan asked.
"Maybe tomorrow, I really don't have the energy to think about this today." Zhou Sen had already closed his eyes, and within a few seconds, he started snoring.
Bai Yulan looked at this slightly haggard face and couldn't help but reveal a trace of distress and complexity. She stretched out her hand to pull the quilt and lay down.
