Return to the police station.
The first thing Zhou Sen had to do was to go to Nosuke Akiyama, the chief of the Secret Service Section, to make a simple report on the entire incident.
Akiyama Nosuke listened to his report and remained silent for a long time.
Eucalyptus is not complicated.
But things behind the scenes are complicated.
This involves Japan's penetration and control of Bingcheng's gray industries, and Qin Laoqi belongs to the Bingcheng underworld.
Many things that the Japanese cannot do directly are left to him, and he can still make a lot of profits from the forces controlled by Qin Laoqi every year.
Such as the opium business.
The Japanese do not personally do terminal sales, but control the source of planting and production, and the sales are handed over to Chinese people like Qin Laoqi.
Of course, Qin Laoqi is not the only one.
I won’t talk about other aspects.
Qin Laoqi is an agent, and Su Wenqing is similar, but Su Wenqing is on the other side, more serious about business.
It is not a trivial matter to abandon the Qin family and choose another agent, not to mention that this idea has not been thought of by the above.
After all, the Qin family has always been obedient, and the profits they turn in are getting higher and higher year by year.
They would not be willing to kill an obedient dog, no matter how big of a mistake it made, as long as it did not bite its owner.
But Zhou Sen is also very important. Besides, it was not Zhou Sen who took the initiative to provoke Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong and Su Wenqing were fighting. As long as the fight was not broken, the superiors would be happy to see it happen.
If the Manchus unite, it will be harmful to their rule, and the only solution is to fight.
But don’t fight too hard.
Just keep it within a "degree".
Zhou Sen is very important, especially for the empire's "Northern Advance" plan. It is a very critical chess piece. It's really pitiful to suffer such an unreasonable disaster.
It's time for someone to come forward and warn Qin Xiong.
"Zhou Sen-kun, how do you want to end this case?" Akiyama Nosuke planned to understand Zhou Sen's attitude first.
"I will listen to you, Chief Akiyama."
"Since Miss Xiao Xiangning is fine, it is better for Qin Xiong to come to apologize in person and compensate for mental damages. What do you think?" Akiyama Nosuke asked after thinking about it.
Zhou Sen knew clearly in his mind that Akiyama Nosuke wanted to protect Qin Xiong. He was afraid that his insistence on severely punishing Qin Xiong would not be supported by the Japanese, but he could not let him go so easily, so he said: "This time The victim is also Qin Lang."
"They are brothers, so they should be easier to talk to, right?"
"But Qin Xiong kicked Qin Lang out of the Qin family and was penniless. Would anyone treat his own brother like this?"
"what do you want?"
"I want to take this opportunity to get back the Taipingqiao Gambling House for Qin Lang. He was originally the steward of the Taipingqiao Gambling House." Zhou Sen said.
Akiyama Nosuke remained silent. Taipingqiao Gambling House made a lot of profits every year, although it was not as good as the opium trade.
Zhou Sen wants to return to Taipingqiao Gambling House for Qin Lang. It is not as simple as the management rights. It means taking away such a large piece of profit.
I'm afraid those people behind Taipingqiao Casino will not agree to this loss.
"Chief Akiyama, I only want the Qin family's shares in the Taipingqiao Gambling House, and I don't want the rest." Zhou Sen added.
Akiyama Nosuke's eyebrows twitched. He understood that Zhou Sen's appetite was not that big, he just wanted to get Qin Lang's share.
This is much easier to handle.
Taipingqiao Gambling House was also run well by Qin Lang in the past. As long as the interests of the people behind it are guaranteed, everything will be easy.
"Okay, I will report to Chief Matsuda and Director Shiro later. You can report to the Foreign Affairs Department first." Akiyama Nosuke nodded.
…
"How about it, what does Section Chief Akiyama say?"
"Qin Xiong is nothing. The key is that Qin Laoqi is not dead yet. Although he has retreated, his connections are still there. We can't touch him now, so we can only compromise." Faced with Anna's concern, Zhou Sen explained, "What did Shibuya-sensei say?"
"The teacher called back and said that Qin Laoqi has been in Ice City for decades and has deep roots. He is a friend of the Japanese Empire. I hope you will handle it carefully." Anna said.
This result was expected, and he never thought that Saburo Shibuya would support him and Qin Xiong in a fight to the death. This was unrealistic.
The Japanese will all proceed from the perspective of their own interests. Right and wrong are not important to them, because they believe in the Western "law of the jungle", where the weak eat the strong.
"Okay, I understand. Do you want to go to the Foreign Affairs Department with me, or stay in the Special Service Department?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I'll go wherever you go." Anna said without hesitation.
"Inspecting the stocks is a small and easy job. If you follow me over there, you will be busy." Zhou Sen said, "This year will not be easy."
"I'm Russian, and I can't celebrate your Lunar New Year." Anna said.
"That's true, hehe." Zhou Sen smiled, "Where's Wu En, have you seen it?"
"Oh, we are chatting in the tea room..."
"I'll go find him."
"Aren't you going to report to the Foreign Affairs Department..."
"I'll go there later..."
…
"Wu En, go to Su Mansion, see Su Wenqing, and tell him this..." Zhou Sen found Wu En in the tea room and gave an order.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"It's clear, Brother Sen." Wu En nodded.
"Okay, hurry up and get back. I need to use the car for a while." Zhou Sen nodded. He didn't want the operating rights of Taipingqiao Gambling House. Of course, if Qin Lang really wanted to get it back, he wouldn't He objected, but in that case, he and Jiang Rou would be completely out of luck.
He also wanted to test Qin Lang to see if he had really changed and didn't want to follow the same old path.
If he still wants to follow the old path, then not only him, but Jiang Rou will not choose him.
As for Hou Wu, he would never let him go. If he didn't teach Qin Xiong a lesson, wouldn't he look too weak and easy to bully?
…
Zhou Sen came out of the tea room and was about to report to the Foreign Affairs Department when he bumped into Zou Shuxun. He was also surprised to see Zhou Sen.
"Zhou Sen, I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect you to be here."
"Find me?"
"Sun Qingkui's eucalyptus, strictly speaking, you can be regarded as the victim." Zou Shuxun said, "The eucalyptus has some clues, so I won't come to find you."
"Who am I to be a miserable person?"
"Sun Qingkui has no children. The apprentices he adopted are the closest people to him. Xiao Xiangning inherited the Ruiqing Class he founded. You are Xiao Xiangning's adopted brother. You have also been in the Ruiqing Class. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you are the master of suffering.”
"Uncle Zou, this is too far. Just tell me." Zhou Sen shook his head.
"That Huang Wei admitted that he killed Sun Qingkui." Zou Shuxun said.
"Did he really kill him?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise, "He was just trying to make money, so he didn't need to commit murder. Besides, Sun Qingkui's body doesn't have much life left, so he didn't need to take this risk?"
"According to Huang Wei and Xu Chunmei, Sun Qingkui plans to hand over the houses and shops under his name to Miss Xiao Xiangning for inheritance..."
"It's nonsense. Sun Qingkui loves money as much as his life. His relationship with Xiaorou has long since broken down. How could he hand over his property to Xiaorou? Furthermore, if Xiaorou inherits the property, it doesn't mean that he will also inherit it. His gambling debts are not enough to repay even if he sells his real estate, who would be so stupid?"
"I don't think this is credible, but they all said so, and they all admitted that they committed murder. There is no need for them to lie about such a trivial matter."
"If these two people didn't lie, then Sun Qingkui lied to them." Zhou Sen asked, "Have you found out the details of the murder?"
"That's why I came to see you." Zou Shuxun took out a transcript of Huang Wei's inquiry from his pocket and handed it over.
Zhou Sen reached out and took it, scanning it quickly.
Although Zou Shuxun doesn't have much ability and has done many bad things, he still has his vision and experience as a police officer for many years.
He could still tell whether Huang Wei was the murderer of Sun Qingkui. Just look at the detailed description of the murder in this record, which was obviously different from the evidence they collected at the scene, unless there was someone else before this. He had been to the scene, otherwise the person who committed the murder would never be Huang Wei.
Huang Wei said that he threw away the murder weapon, but they found it in the pile of firewood in the corner.
It didn't look like it was thrown away casually, and there were no fingerprints matching Huang Wei's on the handle of the knife. Of course, it would have been possible if he was wearing gloves.
But if you wear gloves, the gloves must be stained with blood. What about the gloves?
This key evidence was not found in Sun Qingkui's home, nor was it found in Huang Wei's hiding place, which was strange.
There is also the time of killing, which is not easy to judge. After all, the time of Sun Qingkui's death can only be judged roughly. If it is more than ten minutes before or after, it is impossible to judge.
The reason why Jiang Rou and Qin Lang were eliminated from suspicion was because there were witnesses, and the time of death was delayed by at least an hour after they left.
Also, the clothes they were wearing were the same ones they had worn when they went there, they had not been changed, and there was no trace of blood on them.
Judging from the death scene of Sun Qingkui, it is impossible that the murderer was not splashed with blood.
"Don't Huang Wei know that this is the crime of decapitation, so he is willing to take the blame?" Zhou Sen was very surprised. If the murderer was caught, he would be shot and decapitated. He is a gangster who has been hanging around at the bottom, so he is so courageous. ,Not afraid of death?
"Uncle Zou, can I meet this Huang Wei?" Zhou Sen asked.
"You can do it at any time. Anyway, there are still a lot of doubts about this relationship, so I'm not in a hurry to get married." Zou Shuxun nodded.
"Then I'll report to the Foreign Affairs Department first, and then I'll find you." Zhou Sen handed the confession back to Zou Shuxun and said.
"Okay, if I'm not here, you can just ask Xiao Sun."
…
Putting down the thought of seeing Huang Wei, Zhou Sen went back to the office to get his transfer order and went to the office of the chief of the Foreign Affairs Department.
The Foreign Affairs Section of the Bingcheng Police Department, such an important position, naturally cannot be handed over to a Chinese, it must be a Japanese.
However, the Foreign Affairs Department has the most diverse personnel, including not only Chinese and Japanese, but also Baekje and Russians. Although it is not the department with the most people, it is definitely the department with the highest academic qualifications in the Police Department.
In fact, the Foreign Affairs Section of the National Police Agency is also an intelligence agency. It is mainly responsible for the issuance of visas and passports, as well as the liaison and communication functions between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bingcheng and the consulates in Bingcheng. In general, the functions of the Foreign Affairs Department in cities are very few, and they are only in In a city like Bingcheng with a large number of foreign consulates, the Foreign Affairs Department can play its role.
Winter winter winter!
Zhou Sen knocked on the door of the office of Yataro Omai, chief of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Ice City Police Department. (This person made it up)
