A week passed in a flash.
Zhou Sen commutes to and from get off work every day and leads a very regular life. There are not many police officers like him in the entire police department.
Now that the end of the year is coming, all departments are extremely busy, especially the Secret Service Division, which is arresting people every day, and the detention centers are overcrowded.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Zhou Sen sometimes had to be arrested to help with the interrogation, but he was not on night shift and would go home from get off work at that time.
On this day, Zhou Sen was reading a story about someone who was reported to have made "anti-Manchu" remarks. In fact, it was just a couple of complaints about a business that was heard by neighbors who were not dealing with him. Then in order to retaliate, he conveniently The report was sent to the Ideological Section of the Secret Service Division.
The guy who made the report was also very shady. He had no regard for years of neighborly friendship. He was going to kill someone.
It is normal for ordinary people to have grievances and complaints, but those who report this are the most hateful.
Anyone with any sense of conscience hates this kind of person.
However, there is no way, there will be many such people in this world in the future, they are just so indifferent.
All reports of this kind are witnessed by witnesses. Therefore, as long as the Secret Service Division receives the report, they will come directly to arrest the person.
As long as someone is arrested and there is no backing or background, if there is no money to smooth things over, they will definitely be punished.
Even if Zhou Sen wants to deal with it impartially, it will be of no use unless you go against the entire system.
Of course, if it has something to do with you, it's not a big problem. After all, everyone is under the same roof. If you make it convenient for others, it is also convenient for yourself.
There are too many cases like this. Zhou Sen clearly knows that these people have been wronged, but there is nothing he can do. It's not that he can't, but how many can he save?
The whole system is like this. As long as the Japanese are here, even if they become the police chief, they will not be able to change the status quo.
There is only one solution, drive away the Japanese invaders and make the people the masters of the country.
Zhou Sen was reading Yuzi's files when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
A familiar figure opened the door and walked in. Zhou Sen looked up and saw that it was Gu Laoliu whom he had not seen for many days.
"Lao Liu, why are you here?" Zhou Sen was surprised and quickly closed the file in his hand. The secrets of the Special Branch Office of the Police Department cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will. Even though Gu Laoliu is also a policeman, he is from the Nangang Police Station.
"I'm not passing by the police station. I'm here to see you." Gu Laoliu smiled.
"You are so free and still have time to see me. Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Sen has worked with him for four years, and he doesn't know who Gu Laoliu is.
"Someone in the jurisdiction reported that there is a bookstore called Yiguzhai where people often gather, like illegal gatherings." Gu Laoliu said.
"Yi Gu Zhai, illegal assembly, why are you asking me for this?" Zhou Sen asked very puzzled.
"This report is anonymous. Let us understand the situation first and then report it. Even if we want to arrest people, they will all get the stolen goods. Otherwise, it is not easy to arrest people at will based on the matter of catching wind and shadow." Gu Laoliu said .
"Then have you found any relevant evidence?"
"Ye San'er and I visited and found that there are indeed some young people who often go to that bookstore and stay there for several hours, but I don't know what they do specifically," Gu Laoliu said.
"Bookstores are originally places where cultural people gather. It is normal for some like-minded people to discuss literature, poetry, etc. Under such circumstances, how many people dare to discuss politics in public?" Zhou Sen asked rhetorically. road.
"That's what I think too. If it's really an illegal assembly, why don't you report it with your real name? There's something wrong with anonymous reporting. It's probably someone who deliberately caused trouble." Gu Laoliu nodded.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, Miss Jiang has also been to this bookstore called Yiguzhai."
"Jiang Rou?" Zhou Sen was slightly surprised, how could this "Yi Gu Zhai" be related to Jiang Rou? Could it be that this is a transportation station for the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party in Bingcheng?
Using a bookstore as a cover and as a contact point is one of the methods commonly used by underground parties.
"Yes, it's Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang entrusted her boss to find opera records. This boss, Qiao Sanlang, has good relations with some celebrities in Bingcheng's cultural circles and has quite a few channels. This is probably the reason." Gu Laoliu explained.
"Don't rush to report this matter. I'll understand the situation first." Zhou Sen told Gu Laoliu.
"In addition, after Miss Su came back, she came to Guoyi Guzhai twice."
"Su Wenqing's daughter, Su Yun?" Zhou Sen frowned. Su Yun used to be a frequent visitor to Yi Gu Zhai. When she came back and visited Yi Gu Zhai again, there was nothing unusual.
But now that Su Yun is married, is she still addicted to those petty bourgeois love affairs?
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Sen said, "If you are free recently, call Ye San'er and let's find a time to get together?"
"Okay, you are busy with work, we can be available at any time, you decide the time?"
"Okay, let's make a reservation at the shabu-shabu restaurant where we ate at noon tomorrow," Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
"Do not worry."
…
After sending Gu Laoliu away, Zhou Sen's face slowly turned cold. There must be something wrong with this "Yi Gu Zhai".
When Su Yun went to Yiguzhai, he probably really went to borrow books.
But Jiang Rou is different from Su Yun. Even if she wants to search for some opera records, she doesn't necessarily have to go to "Yi Gu Zhai".
You know, "Yi Gu Zhai"'s main business is not vinyl records.
It seemed that she had to talk to Jiang Rou about this matter. She could no longer go to "Yi Gu Zhai".
This will be very dangerous. If someone reports anonymously today, he may report with a real name tomorrow. Moreover, this time the investigation fell into the hands of Gu Laoliu. With Gu Laoliu's cautious character, it was found that Jiang Rou had been to Yiguzhai. , informed this situation to himself first.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so lucky.
It is also because "Yi Gu Zhai" was Zhou Sen's original patrol area in Nangang Police Station, and is now managed by Gu Laoliu.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a coincidence.
…
"Brother, why are you here?"
"I heard from you, Sister Yulan, that these days, you have been busy with the performance of packing boxes. You leave early and come back late, and you don't eat on time. Why don't you let me bring you a meal and supervise you by the way? Eat." Zhou Sen said, clapping the food box in his hand.
"Brother and Sister Lan, you still love me." Jiang Rou said happily.
As soon as Zhou Sen came in, he saw three dishes and one soup on the table. It was obvious that someone had gotten there first.
Needless to say, it must be that boy Qin Lang.
It's no secret that this guy is pursuing Jiang Rou, but Jiang Rou doesn't accept it, nor does she explicitly reject it.
After all, Qin Lang used to have that status. Of course, as far as Jiang Rou is concerned, she has nothing to dislike.
Counting it myself, it's almost the same. Opera singers and people who fish for side jobs are both low-level professions.
This is superficial.
But Zhou Sen knew that if Qin Lang's identity did not change in the future, he would definitely not be worthy of Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou's status as an underground party member, coupled with her artistic achievements, may not have much room for political advancement, but artistically, she may become a palace-level figure in the future.
Qin Lang was born in a gang. Unless he can make special changes in the past ten years, they will not be able to get together.
If the identities were reversed, it would be possible, just like him and Bai Yulan.
"Qin Lang ordered it?"
"Well, I told him not to order it, but he just didn't listen, and there was nothing I could do about it." Jiang Ju said, "You can't just throw the food out to him. That would be too hurtful."
"Xiaorou, I don't object to your falling in love. Even if you find a boyfriend to get married now, I am willing to marry you, but this person is Qin Lang. You have to consider it carefully." Zhou Sen said seriously.
"Brother, you don't want me to be with him?" Jiang Ju said.
"Whoever you are with is your freedom. I will not interfere with your freedom, but I also have the obligation to remind you that you must think clearly about Qin Lang's past identity and your identity in everything you do. , this is not a child's play house, you can play if you want to, and you can't play if you don't want to, this is a lifelong matter."
"Brother, I actually rejected him."
"Why did you refuse?"
"I said that I don't want to think about personal relationships right now. I just want to do a good job in the 'Lan Rou' drama club, and we will talk about starting a family in a few years." Jiang Rou explained.
"You didn't tell him clearly that you have no good feelings or interest in him. Otherwise, how can this be called rejection?" Zhou Sen said. It's no wonder that Jiang Rou has never been in love and has no experience, which is normal.
"Brother, what should I say?"
"If you don't want to have any development with him at all, then tell him that you have no feelings for him now and in the future, and ask him not to pester you anymore, otherwise it will be difficult to even be friends." Zhou Sen said.
"Brother, I..."
"Do you still have some feelings for him?"
"I can't tell, maybe a little bit, I'm used to it." Jiang Rou said.
"Regardless of his status as the second son of the Qin family, he does have many advantages. He is loyal, committed, smart and adaptable. He does not seem to be a person who always gives up. He is a good person who can be entrusted to him for the rest of his life. But you have to think clearly, your marriage is not yours to decide, the two of you can really break through the obstacles and come together, but in the end, you may have to pay a higher price than you imagined." Zhou Sen reminded.
"Brother, I don't understand why you said that. Can't we win him over?"
"Have you already had such an idea?" Zhou Sen was shocked. Jiang Rou actually wanted to develop Qin Lang into the organization. He couldn't join yet due to his status.
If he had not resolutely refused to join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he would have been a member of the Communist Party by now. However, it would be more troublesome to join the Communist Party of China. It is not that he cannot, but that the current conditions do not allow it.
Mainly for the sake of confidentiality, Zhou Sen cannot directly join the CCP. Once records and traces are left in the underground party organization in Bingcheng, it will not be a good thing for his hidden identity.
For safety reasons, he is not fit to join now, but he might have been by now if he had stayed in Khabarovsk.
There is no way, he must come back, if he misses it, he will miss it.
