The event of the Diplomatic Ball was soon reported in the newspapers, and both the Manchukuo and Japan launched their own propaganda machines to carry out overwhelming publicity for this event.
This is also regarded by the Bingcheng government as one of its achievements and influence in diplomacy.
It can be said that the puppet Manchukuo and Japan have been bragging for a while.
Zhou Sen returned to the Secret Service Department from the Foreign Affairs Department and continued to live his life of fishing at work. Except for the disturbing incident of Hou Wu and Sang Biao being released, there was nothing else.
The days go by the order of the day.
It will soon be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and Bingcheng holds large-scale lantern viewing activities every year, especially at Jile Temple.
Bai Yulan hasn't visited the market or admired the lanterns for many years.
But she is pregnant now, so it is best not to go to crowded places. It is easy to bump into crowded places.
This is quite unfriendly to pregnant women.
This is your first baby, so you have to be careful.
Zhou Sen also felt sorry for Bai Yulan, so he simply bought a lot of lanterns and decorated the Ningxiang Pavilion. This would not only increase the popularity of the Ningxiang Pavilion, but also attract her attention to the lanterns.
To win your wife's favor, spending some money is secondary.
Zhou Sen dotes on his wife like this, making Jiang Rou and Anna envious.
…
"After Sangbiao came out, he threatened to retaliate against you. Let me remind you, be careful lately. This Sangbiao is very cruel. If he goes crazy, Qin Xiong may not even listen to his words." Qin Lang came over to celebrate the Lantern Festival with him, reminding him. Zhou Sen shouted.
"How does he want to retaliate against me?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile.
"This guy used to be a gangster. He probably won't attack you personally, but he can bribe people on the road. It's hard to say who he will look for." Qin Lang said.
"Will you keep an eye out for me?"
"Since I turned against the Qin family, I have seldom interacted with people on the road. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much." Qin Lang hesitated and said.
"Are you thinking that if something happens to me, the barrier between you and Xiaorou will be completely gone?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Brother Sen, who do you think I am?"
"I'm just kidding you, but you take it seriously. Do you really think I'm that easy to kill?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
Except in the Ningxiang Pavilion, whenever he goes out now, Yamamoto Toshi will send people to follow him. He doesn't want to die, and Yamamoto Toshi doesn't want him to die now.
His safety was much greater than before.
It's just that he can't go to Lu Restaurant often. Of course, it's not impossible. Now he wants to lure Liang Yiming to his own restaurant.
This reason is enough for him to go to Liang Yiming's Lu Cuisine Restaurant frequently.
Yamamoto Satoshi would not be suspicious.
It's just that Natasha can't go. Once discovered, it will be troublesome, so I can't ask Natasha to go to Lu Cuisine Restaurant.
Speaking of which, this poaching operation needs to be accelerated.
"After Hou Wu came out, Qin Xiong opened a gambling shop on Taiping Street. It is being renovated and is expected to open soon. Many gamblers have already received invitations to open the business."
"what are you thinking?"
"I want to complete the handover with Su Wenqing as soon as possible. My biggest headache now is the management of the gambling house." Qin Lang said.
"Qin Xiong should know that we are borrowing someone from Su Wenqing, right?" Zhou Sen asked.
"This news can be concealed, but not others." Qin Lang said.
"How about Su Wenqing taking over Taipingqiao Casino and Qin Xiong's new casino opening on the same day?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Brother Sen wants them to do something?"
"Su Wenqing may not have this intention, but it still depends on what we mean. Do you think he will take the initiative to mention it to you?"
"Probably."
"Okay, it's getting late, I won't keep you here, go back." Zhou Sen picked up the tea cup and began to see off the guests.
"It's so late. If I go back alone, aren't you afraid that I'll be in danger?" Qin Lang squeaked.
"You are a grown man and you drive a car, what are you afraid of?"
"There is no danger for me alone. I won't leave anyway. There are so many rooms in the Ningxiang Pavilion, and I can't miss this one." Qin Lang said.
"Do you want to stay with me?" Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel angry and funny.
"What's wrong? I'm considered one of the shareholders of Ningxiang Pavilion. What's wrong with me living here?" Qin Lang said unconvinced.
"This is my home, not the Ningxiang Hall."
"Brother Sen, just bear with me going back alone. There is no hot water in that cold room..." Qin Lang immediately changed his expression to a pleading one.
"Okay, okay, you go and squeeze in with Wu En." Zhou Sen got annoyed and said with a wave of his hand.
"Wu En, his smelly feet are really too smelly." Qin Lang said, "Don't you have an empty room, can you let me live in it?"
"No, that room will be given to Yin Linna tonight." Zhou Sen said, "Live with Wu En. If you can't live with me, get out!"
"Stay, I'll just stay. I'm going to supervise Wu En's feet washing..." Qin Lang said hurriedly.
…
"Qin Lang reminds you that you really need to pay attention. Sang Biao is indeed a ruthless character. If he really wants to harm you, he must be careful." After Qin Lang left, Bai Yulan said with concern.
"Don't worry, I know that if he really provokes me, it will be his time to die." Zhou Sen said, "If the Japanese hadn't intervened, I'm afraid there would be grass growing on his grave now, and he dared to threaten protection. That would be courting death." .”
"Better be careful. Should I send two more people to follow you?"
"No, as long as Wu En is there, if Wu En can't do it, even two more people will be useless," Zhou Sen said.
"Xiao Sen, I heard his heartbeat today." Bai Yulan said to Zhou Sen, stroking her belly.
"Really?" Zhou Sen showed a hint of surprise.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I can feel him anyway." Bai Yulan's face was filled with the glory of motherhood.
"Let me listen." Zhou Sen leaned down, put his ear against Bai Yulan's abdomen and listened carefully. Although he was separated by a layer of underwear, if he calmed down, he could still hear a faint beating. It should be just a little heart.
"Brother Sen, Sister Lan, it's time to eat glutinous rice balls..." Axiang walked in holding glutinous rice balls.
…
"Zhou Sen, I received news that Sang Biao found a person named 'Yizhimei' on the road to attack you. You should be careful recently." When Zhou Sen arrived at work, Zou Shuxun came over and threw him a message and reminded him. He shouted.
"I understand, thank you Uncle Zou." Zhou Sen looked serious. This Sangbiao was really looking for death. He actually found someone to target him.
"Iljimae is a famous killer on the road. As long as he is given money, he will kill anyone except the Japanese." Zou Shuxun said.
"Why not kill the Japanese?"
"Don't dare. If he kills the Japanese, can he still live?" Zou Shuxun chuckled, "Otherwise, he has killed many people over the years, how can he still live well?"
"Does our police department have information on him?"
"Yes, but not much. I know you definitely want it, so I brought them all for you." Zou Shuxun handed Zhou Sen a document bag.
"Uncle Zou has prepared this for me a long time ago."
"I know that you like to solve troubles by yourself and don't like others to interfere, so I won't bring it to you." Zou Shuxun chuckled, "But if you want to use someone, you can always call and promise to be on call. If you can catch someone, Living in this branch of plum is also an achievement for us."
"Don't worry, if you get it usefully, you will definitely trouble Uncle Zou." Zhou Sen nodded.
First it was Qin Lang who reminded him, and now it was Zou Shuxun. It seemed that Sangbiao was really going to have trouble with him.
As a gangster killer, the information is not top secret, and it is not a bad rule for Zou Shuxun to give it to Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen opened the document bag and took out the information inside. Most of the information inside contained the crimes committed by this "Yizhimei" over the years.
He is in the business of collecting money to kill people. His targets include people of all identities, including wealthy businessmen, officials, swingers... both underworld and white people. Basically, one deal after another in two or three months. Afterwards, he disappeared for a period of time, and his activities were quite wide, but he basically operated in the three provinces of Binjiang, Sanjiang and Longjiang. Because he was a cunning person, the government and police arrested him several times, but finally let him escape. He took over the job The method is also very strange. Anyone who wants to hire him only needs to say something, and he will take the initiative to come to the employer, negotiate a price, pay half of the deposit, and pay the other half after killing the person.
The police knew about his habit and naturally set traps for his method of accepting jobs. However, he knew it in advance every time and even swallowed half of his deposit, toying with the police and then escaped.
He only accepted gold as payment, and that was gold bars, the most common form on the market.
This guy is good at disguise. He can make up into beggars, old women, young men, etc. Everyone who has seen him says he is a man, but some people say he is a woman. He must be quite old, because since his debut, there are also Seven or eight years.
Even though she was a little girl back then, now seven or eight years have passed and she has grown up.
When "Iljimae" kills someone, a "triangular" arrow will leave a shapeless wound on his chest at the heart. It is very small, only an inch in size. It should be his own unique weapon.
Zhou Sen looked at the photos of the chests of the deceased and found that they looked like wounds formed by dead "three-edged" military spurs.
But Zhou Sen knew that the "triangular military spur" has not yet appeared, but triangular-shaped weapons have existed since ancient times, but his knowledge in this area is relatively expensive. However, after having a military commander in the family, her knowledge is much deeper than his. .
The information Zou Shuxun gave him was not top secret, so there was no problem in taking it back.
After work, Zhou Sen went home directly.
When he gave Bai Yulan the information about "Iljimae", her face changed and she became a little solemn, obviously knowing the danger involved.
"This is a kind of three-edged armor-piercing awl that leaves wounds. It was used in the military in the past, but few people can use it because it can only be used for stabbing. Although it has great lethality, once it is injured, the wound is difficult to suture. , the mortality rate is very high, but its comprehensive combat capability is too low and it is difficult for soldiers to master it, so most people will not use it, but in close combat, it still has advantages, and the person who can use it must be a master." Bai Yulan said , "If Sang Biao really hires 'Iljimae' to kill you, then you will be in a lot of trouble. Although Iljimae is not without mistakes, no one is not afraid of such an opponent."
