Suzuki Takeo also saw Zhou Sen. He looked up, smiled at him, nodded, and then walked towards the female owner of the izakaya.
He whispered two words.
With a shy smile on her face, the female boss walked out of her busy schedule and led Takeo Suzuki to the back.
Just when I was passing by Zhou Sen's booth.
"follow me."
Takeo Suzuki dropped a word.
Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment, but still got up and followed him.
Opening a door curtain and walking in, there was a corridor that was not too long. After stepping on it, Zhou se followed Suzuki Takeo and the female boss into a small room.
Turning on the light, there is a small space inside, which seems to be a small room. It is very clean and tidy.
The whole room was filled with a hint of floral fragrance, which was the smell of the female boss. Could this be the female boss's boudoir?
This is obviously not a business area, but private property.
What is the relationship between Takeo Suzuki and the female owner of this izakaya? Are they lovers, or is there some other secret and unknown relationship?
The female boss was still there, so it was hard for Zhou Sen to ask more questions.
On the tatami, there is a low table.
"Huizi, thank you for your work."
"You're too kind."
Only then did Zhou Sen find out that the Japanese female owner of this izakaya was named Keiko, and she had an unusual relationship with Suzuki Takeo.
When Huizi left, she nodded slightly to Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen responded with a slight nod.
"Zhou Sen, sit down." Suzuki Yixiong greeted Zhou Sen very casually, took off his shoes, got on the tatami and knelt down to sit down.
"yes."
Zhou Sen also took off his shoes immediately and sat on the tatami.
"I thought you would come to me soon, but I didn't expect you to wait for so long." Suzuki Takeo said with a slight smile.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Chief..."
"Don't call me deputy director. This is not No. 3 Yiyuan Street. Just call me uncle." Suzuki Yixiong raised his hand.
"Uncle...uncle..." Zhou Sen reluctantly called out.
"My relationship with your adoptive father Anthony has been almost twenty years. He and I were both in Moscow at the time. I worked at the Japanese Embassy in Moscow to the Soviet Union. It was he who introduced me to Marxism. Since then, we have We became friends," explained Takeo Suzuki.
"Are you a Japanese communist?" Zhou Sen was surprised. He knew that there were many Japanese communists in the Japanese military circles, and they were deeply hidden and provided a lot of intelligence for the "anti-Japanese movement."
"I have nothing to do with the Japanese Communist Party." Takeo Suzuki laughed and explained, "Of course, I am not the Soviet Communist Party either."
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
"And you are?"
"I am just me, a person with conscience." Suzuki Takeo explained, "So, because of my relationship with your adoptive father Anthony, I became the guardian of his secret intelligence organization's 'Lai Europe' team lurking in Ice City."
"guardian?"
"Any secret intelligence organization will be exposed one day. If the enemy discovers it and is exposed, once the organization is destroyed, someone will need to lend a helping hand and save it at the critical moment. This is the meaning of my existence." Suzuki Yixiong said, "When everything goes well for you, I am just a shadow. Only when you are in trouble, I will appear. After helping you recover, I will become a shadow again."
"Do you know the secret of the European team?"
"No, I don't know. I only know that you are Anthony's chosen successor. Once something happens to him, you will be targeted. This result is inevitable." Suzuki Takeo said.
"But why did dad never mention this to me?"
"First, he may not have a chance to mention it to you. Second, you can only pass the screening and assessment if you don't know anything."
"He doesn't trust me that much?"
"If you don't trust me, why would I put the burden on your shoulders?" Suzuki Yixiong was about to continue talking when the sound of clogs came from outside the door, and he immediately stopped his voice.
Dongdong...
"Enter!"
The female owner of the izakaya named Hui Zi came in from the door with wine and food. After placing them for the two of them, she bowed with the tray in her arms and then left.
"Unnecessary, Anthony doesn't want you to be involved in such a cruel struggle." Suzuki Takeo explained.
"But why does he force me to take the police exam again?"
"Be prepared for a rainy day. Although he doesn't want to do that, he can't do nothing. If something happens to him, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?" Suzuki Yixiong poured Zhou Sen a glass of wine and said.
"Actually, if he could have told me earlier, maybe I could have handled it better?" Zhou Sen picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"There is nothing perfect in this world. He never expected that he would be selected by the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department to participate in the top-secret 'bear hunting' plan. When I got the news, I couldn't stop it." Suzuki Takeo road.
"So you informed the Soviet Union about the 'Bear Hunt' operation?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I have no direct contact with the Soviet Union, but this news does have something to do with me." Suzuki Takeo admitted.
"Now that the Soviet Union knows the information, it can wait for everyone to enter the territory. Why do they take action directly at the border?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I don't know about this. Didn't you go to Khabarovsk? Why didn't you find the answer?"
"They don't know the details." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"There are some things that you will naturally know after you investigate and understand them in the future." Suzuki Takeo said, "You should have solved the secret of what Anthony left you, right?"
"Well, I have the list and information of the 'Come to Europe' group." Zhou Sen nodded. If it weren't for Suzuki Takeo's guidance, he really wouldn't be able to decipher the secrets on the microfilm in the bullet.
"Then you have officially taken over Anthony's position?"
"That's right. However, I can't do anything now. These people on the list only support me because of my father's face. It's hard to say how much they really trust me." Zhou Sen said.
"Take your time, building trust requires a process, and only you will give you this opportunity. If it were others, maybe some of them would not see you." Suzuki Takeo said.
"Uncle Suzuki, will you believe me?" Zhou Sen raised his head slightly, looked at Suzuki Takeo, and asked seriously.
"What do you think?"
"I want to believe Uncle Suzuki, but Uncle Suzuki doesn't know."
"Are you trying to conquer my army?" Suzuki Takeo showed a hint of surprise. It was obvious that Zhou Sen came to see him for a purpose.
"You said so yourself."
"Okay, how do you think I believe you?" Suzuki Yixiong smiled bitterly. Zhou Sen was so wary and acted so cautiously.
"Toshi Yamamoto of Ice Special Agent is targeting me."
"You want to get rid of him?" Suzuki Takeo was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Zhou Sen to actually get rid of the director of Ice Agent.
This is too bold.
Is this still the Zhou Sen who is considered timid and afraid of getting into trouble?
"Not only did he bribe the people around me, he also sent people to secretly monitor all my actions. Although I pretended not to know, what he did was just to cause trouble for me, and even wanted to kill me." Zhou Sen said .
"Is it because you won the grudge against Sato when you were receiving special training at Ichimpo?" Suzuki Takeo thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, Zuo Teng died in the mouth of a tiger, but he took out his anger on me, and because of the 'Tro Yin' plan, he wanted to take this plan into his own hands. I was his stumbling block," Zhou Sen said. , "Because of Saburo Shibuya, he doesn't dare to attack me directly, but once he catches my fault, he will attack me without mercy."
"So, you want to strike first?"
"Yes, unless you can transfer him away from Ice City, only one of us will survive." Zhou Sen said.
"But your conflicts haven't intensified to that point yet..." Suzuki Takeo frowned slightly.
"If we wait until the conflict intensifies, if something happens to him, I'm afraid he will be the first to suspect me." Zhou Sen said, "Instead of waiting until the conflict intensifies, why not take advantage of him to get rid of it once and for all?"
"Did you know that Toshi Yamamoto is the confidant of Chief Qin Yan?"
"Director Qin Yan will be transferred to the position of deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army soon." Zhou Sen said.
"You actually knew that Qin Hikosaburo was transferred to the Kwantung Army's deputy chief of staff?" Suzuki Takeo was a little surprised. As his deputy, he only knew the news not long ago. Despite this, it will take some time for Qin Hikosaburo to leave.
General transfers, unless it is a battlefield transfer, especially for the chief officer of the intelligence department, it is impossible to leave with just one order. If there is no handover, then the next agency director will not know anything, and both will be blackmailed?
"Your teacher is Shibuya Saburo. His information is much better than many people." Suzuki Takeo said immediately.
"The person who took over as the head of the Second Section of the Kwantung Army Staff Department and the head of the Harbin Secret Service is Major General Yanagida Genzo." Zhou Sen said.
"What do you need me to do?" Takeo Suzuki asked.
"You don't need to do anything for me, you just need to testify for me when I need it." Zhou Sen said.
"Testify?" Suzuki Takeo was a little confused.
"My contact with Cynthia, the medical clinic of the Soviet Russian Consulate in Ice City, was to report to you, and it was a secret operation carried out under your instruction." Zhou Sen explained.
"Are you going to use this to lure Yamamoto Satoshi into taking the bait?" Suzuki Yixiong asked, "Is this too risky?"
"First of all, Cynthia will take the initiative to contact me, because her real name is Natasha, and we had contact in Khabarovsk. She was forced to hide in the Ice City as Cynthia because of unfair treatment in the country. , in this way, it will be natural for me to contact you again. If I contact you and get your approval, it will naturally not be regarded as a private act. Moreover, I think a woman who has been treated unfairly has huge consequences. To instigate rebellion and convert value, according to the logic of our work, even if it is a bait thrown by the Soviet Union, we will take it. If Yamamoto Satoshi knew that I was secretly in contact with Cynthia, he would definitely think that this was my private behavior. , he must be keeping a close eye on me, then I will have a chance to find his whereabouts and get rid of him." Zhou Sen said.
"That is to say, even if it is later traced that Yamamoto Satoshi's death was closely related to you, you can still get rid of the suspicion. After all, this was his private behavior, right?"
"yes."
"Have you never thought that if you asked people to get rid of Yamamoto Toshi, but you were safe, no one would suspect that Cynthia conspired with you to kill Yamamoto Toshi?" Suzuki Hizuo asked.
"Cynthia's purpose was to get rid of me. They mistakenly thought that Yamamoto Toshi was my secret back-up. They killed him first and then prepared to get rid of me. However, I escaped and survived by luck."
"You want to use the bitter meat trick?"
"I have been put on the must-kill list by the Soviet intelligence agency. If there is not even one assassination or assassination attempt, then it doesn't make sense, right?" Zhou Sen said.
"Are you sure?"
"I will choose the most suitable opportunity."
