Yamamoto Satoshi asked Zhou Sen to go back first, and he would communicate with him after he understood the matters about Markovich clearly.
Zhou Sen naturally had no objection.
Zhou Sen originally came up with a reason for this matter. It would be best if he could get information about Malkovich from Yamamoto Satoshi. If not, there would be no loss.
As for Markovich being a virus expert, he is just talking nonsense. Anyway, he is not responsible.
Because this was most likely wrong information given by the Soviet side. He was just relaying it. From beginning to end, he had never had any interaction with Markovich.
No matter how suspicious Yamamoto Toshi was, he could not doubt him.
…
Inside the Ningxiang Pavilion.
"Senior Brother Qingshan, come, eat food, eat food..." Zhou Sen held a banquet at home to entertain Ai Qingshan's arrival.
Bai Yulan accompanied her with a big belly.
"Junior sister, brother-in-law, and senior brother came here this time because they want to stay in Bingcheng and do some small business. When the time comes, do you want to ask your junior sister and brother-in-law to take care of you?" Ai Qingshan raised his glass.
"They are all members of the family, as they should be." Zhou Sen chuckled and agreed, leaving Bai Yulan stunned.
She knew that Ai Qingshan and Zhou Sen did not know each other. When they met for the first time, they felt like brothers who had not seen each other for many years.
There is something weird about these two people.
"Junior sister, actually my brother-in-law and I have met each other a long time ago. The last time we came to Bingcheng, my brother-in-law specially sent someone to treat me to dinner..." Ai Qingshan sat down and explained.
"Ah?" Bai Yulan looked at Zhou Sen, wondering why he had never mentioned this before.
"Isn't there a plague? You are pregnant and not suitable for going out. I didn't want to hide it from you. I invited Brother Qingshan to my restaurant. I forgot to tell you when I was busy." Zhou Sen hurriedly explained.
"Chang Bo also knows?"
"Yes, I don't know where Senior Brother Qingshan lives, why don't you bother Chang Bo to send a message?" Zhou Sen chuckled and asked Chang Bo to share the burden.
Bai Yulan remained silent. She also knew that there must be some things between the two men that were not easy to tell her.
Especially since Ai Qingshan had also been in love with her in the past. If she had a good meal, it would be fine. If a fight broke out, how would she handle herself in the middle?
Then Ai Qingshan left, and even if the matter was over, both Zhou Sen and Chang Bo thought it would be better not to talk about it.
Who would have thought that Ai Qingshan would actually come back and plan to stay in Bingcheng.
Bai Yulan can understand Zhou Sen's approach.
"Senior Brother Qingshan, what are you going to do?"
"Chinese medicinal materials."
"Chinese medicinal materials, senior brother, the medicinal material business in this Ice City is monopolized by a few medicinal material dealers, and outsiders cannot enter at all."
"I just made a small fuss and picked up the few sesame seeds that leaked from their fingers to eat. I didn't plan to compete with them for territory." Ai Qingshan said.
"Brother, do you want the hospital to be dedicated to our family?" Bai Yulan saw it.
"Yes, my small amount accounts for a tiny fraction of the Bingcheng market. It is probably not enough for my junior sister and her family." Ai Qingshan nodded. This medicinal material business is not easy to do. It cannot be purchased from the medicinal collectors and then resold. You can make money by selling it.
This involves a buyer. This medicinal material is not sold directly to the people. Although some of it is sold, the quantity is very small.
Mainly major medical clinics and traditional Chinese medicine shops.
The medicines used in medical clinics and pharmacies depend on the quality and variety of medicinal materials. Competition is ubiquitous.
Large medicinal material dealers have several flagship products, which are widely used medicinal materials. They are generally large in quantity, cheap, and irreplaceable.
With this, you will be in an invincible position in the market.
For example, there is a medicinal material dealer who specializes in astragalus. The quality and efficacy of his astragalus are the best, and only he has this supply, so he can occupy this market.
Medical clinics and drug stores are not ordinary operations. They must provide high-quality medicinal materials and allow patients to take medicine to cure their diseases.
Therefore, no medical clinic or drug store is stupid enough to pass off inferior products as good ones. In that case, even if the best doctor is there, no one will patronize it.
Medicinal materials are the easiest to monopolize. Once selected, they will not be easily replaced unless the quality of the other party changes or there is a better choice.
Those who can do business in Chinese medicinal materials are the accumulation of generations, or even the management and development of several generations.
"Senior Brother Qingshan, although we are brothers and sisters, the quality of medicinal materials is related to human life. Therefore, if the quality is not up to standard, we will not take care of our own business." Bai Yulan did not give Ai Qingshan any face.
"That's natural. Junior sister, please rest assured. If the medicinal materials are not up to standard, I will not force them on you." Ai Qingshan promised.
"Yu Lan, senior brother is from your own family, how could he trick us? The quality is definitely the same." Zhou Sen said hurriedly, "This matter is settled like this. Tomorrow, we will sign a contract to supply medicinal materials." Contract, we will act in accordance with the contract."
"Okay, everything will be done according to the contract."
After sending Ai Qingshan away, Zhou Sen returned to the small building.
"How come Senior Brother Qingshan suddenly wants to come to Bingcheng and do business in medicinal materials? Is this your instigation?" Bai Yulan asked.
"I just suggested it last time, but I didn't expect him to actually agree." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Do you know that Senior Brother Qingshan has many enemies in Bingcheng? When he was forced to leave, part of the reason was for me, and part of it was because he had no choice but to leave." Bai Yulan said.
"So many years have passed, and times have changed. What we can think of, Senior Brother Qingshan can't think of?" Zhou Sen said, "I didn't beg him to come back, he came back on his own. Is it possible that in Ice City, with me and Can’t you protect him with your current power?”
"He is the seventh son of Thirteen Flying Eagles, and he is a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head by the Japanese." Bai Yulan said solemnly.
"who knows?"
Bai Yulan was asked, yes, except for a few of them, who knew Ai Qingshan's identity? If the Japanese knew, it would have been announced to the world long ago.
"Senior Brother Qingshan did not use his real name in Thirteen Flying Eagles, so unless it is confirmed by someone who has seen him, who can know that he is Eagle Seven? Even you and I can't know." Zhou Sen said, "You and I Everyone knows about his brother-sister relationship. There is nothing wrong with you helping him when he comes back. As for his enemies, he can handle them by himself, and he will not come to us. Why are you worrying so much, as long as he is not If he is arrested on the charge of 'anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese', I can keep him safe. Even if he is, we can find a way, right?"
"But this..."
"The old brothers from the past, preferably those who know the identity of Senior Brother Qingshan, must be brought around, or they all stay away from Bingcheng. This will be the end of it." Zhou Sen said, "This matter, let him wait until Uncle Chang comes back. Go talk to Senior Brother Qingshan."
"What about the funding for Thirteen Flying Eagles?"
"Stop it. With Senior Brother Qingshan here, why should we go far away?" Zhou Sen said, "There is no need to contact them in the future. If you have anything to do, just go to Senior Brother Qingshan."
Bai Yulan nodded. Compared to Thirteen Flying Eagles, Ai Qingshan was more trustworthy and reliable.
"We are also short of manpower now. Senior Brother Qingshan will come back and we will be able to use them just in time."
…
At the Japanese Consulate in Bingcheng, Yamamoto Satoshi's office, he called Zhou Sen over with a phone call and handed him a confidential document.
"Director Yamamoto, can I see this?" Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment, then took it and asked.
"Of course." Yamamoto Toshi nodded.
Zhou Sen opened the seal and took out the confidential documents inside. After a quick glance, he was shocked: "Director Yamamoto, what is written on it is true. Is this Markovich really dead?"
"This is still fake. Isn't there a forensic autopsy report in it? The cause of death and the date are written on it." Yamamoto Toshi said.
"Then was this person cremated or buried?" Zhou Sen asked.
"It should have been cremated. For people who died of illness, we usually use cremation to dispose of the body."
"Can the ashes still be found?"
"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Yamamoto Satoshi spread his hands helplessly and said.
"Okay, with this I can explain to her." Zhou Sen disagreed and stuffed the document directly into his bag.
Seeing that Zhou Sen didn't care, Yamamoto Toshi looked a little unnatural and hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't speak.
How could Zhou Sen not know that the information in this document was true before Markovich was captured in the Battle of Halaha River and imprisoned in Hyrule, but after he was taken to Ice City, it was completely fabricated .
They even made up a medical record of hospitalization for him. It looked like that, and most people really couldn't see any flaws in it.
He pretended not to notice anyway, waiting for Natasha's reaction.
…
Qiao Sanlang closed the door and played foreign games as usual, preparing to go home to eat and rest.
Just when he was about to press the last door panel, a man wearing a long coat and a top hat walked towards his grocery store.
"Boss, I'm sorry, do you have candles and matches here?" The visitor seemed very anxious. He had obviously searched many stores but failed to buy them.
"Sir, I'm already a foreigner. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"The wires in my house suddenly short-circuited. It won't be repaired today. I have to ask someone to repair it tomorrow. So, I can only buy some candles tonight?"
"So that's it, okay, I'll look for it for you. There aren't many people buying candles right now." Qiao Sanlang didn't have any doubts, put down the last door panel, turned around and went in to search.
The guests wearing long gowns also followed in.
After a while, the guest left with a pack of candles, and after a while, Qiao Sanlang also closed the door and went to his home.
The special agent who monitored Qiao Sanlang followed him back home and waited until the lights came on in the house before leaving.
But the next day, the plainclothes agent responsible for monitoring Qiao Sanlang's grocery store did not wait until Qiao Sanlang came to open the door.
It was approaching noon and no one came yet. The agents realized something was wrong and quickly sent people to the house where Qiao Sanlang rented.
The agents kicked open the door and found that no one was inside, but nothing in the house had been moved, including the quilt on the bed, which was folded properly.
After receiving the report, Kageyama Jiro was furious. He did not catch Qiao Sanlang, but he still hoped to dig out some clues about Qiao Sanlang.
As a result, there is nothing now, and the person is still sneaking away under his eyes and nose.
Jiro Kageyama quickly issued a co-investigation notice and an arrest warrant, conducting a city-wide search and co-investigation and interception at all major checkpoints.
However, he also knew that ordering wanted arrests and interceptions at this time was already an afterthought and would not help the matter.
Kageyama Jiro's investigation report and wanted order were also sent to the Secret Service Division. Zhou Sen was also under the Secret Service Division, so he could naturally see it.
Qiao Sanlang fled.
This is a good thing. It would be quite dangerous for him to stay in Ice City, and it would not affect Jiang Rou's safety.
He left, and Jiang Rou was safe. The biggest problem was that the relationship between Jiang Rou and the organization was severed.
But it doesn't matter, his relationship is still there, and he can at least get in touch with the Anti-Japanese Alliance through the Soviet side. In this way, the two lines are actually merged into one.
Return home in the evening.
Zhou Sen told Jiang Rou the news about Qiao Sanlang's escape from Ice City. Although he didn't know the details, Qiao Sanlang must have been prepared to escape from Jiro Kageyama's strict surveillance. Otherwise, how could he escape from the Security Bureau? Sneaked away under the nose of the spy?
Qiao Sanlang left without communicating with Jiang Rou, which made her feel that Qiao Sanlang left in a hurry and did not seem to have a plan.
This didn't seem like his behavior. There must be something she didn't know about.
Zhou Sen doesn't have much contact with Qiao Sanlang and doesn't know much about his character, but Jiang Rou's analysis makes sense.
However, regarding Qiao Sanlang's situation, he now needs to avoid suspicion and cannot pay too much attention or inquire to avoid suspicion.
Although the person was not lost in his hands, he was responsible for the accident in front of him, and he was also guilty of negligence.
Kageyama Jiro didn't call him over again, probably because he was a little dissatisfied with him, but he also knew that the current decision was all made by him and had nothing to do with Zhou Sen, and he couldn't be blamed.
As long as Qiao Sanlang can't be caught, this project will end here.
However, that Zhao Changqing came back, dressed in rags, like a beggar. As soon as he came back, he was captured by Kageyama Jiro and taken into the "Songhua School".
As for what will happen to him, Zhou Sen no longer cares. Ai Qingshan should have let him back deliberately.
Qin Shengtao and Qiao Sanlang both escaped from Ice City, but Zhao Changqing was safe and sound. Kageyama Jiro must find someone to take the blame.
And Zhao Changqing is the most suitable candidate.
…
Zhou Sen asked Anna to open a room in the Madier Hotel again and asked Natasha to come out to meet him. It was much more convenient for Anna to cover for him for some matters.
Moreover, he didn't want to make the same mistake again and again, which would be very unfair to Natasha.
Having such a secret meeting with Anna would save him a lot of trouble. At least, he would have an excuse not to stay alone in the room with Natasha for too long.
Just say what needs to be said.
"Don't worry, this time is different from last time. They don't have the time or opportunity to plant listening devices." Zhou Sen opened the door, let Natasha in, made coffee, and handed it over.
"I saw Martha, you came with her." Natasha nodded. The last dance was carefully arranged, but this time it is temporary. It is impossible to put it in the room where they meet every time. Listening device.
One time is fine, come back twice. Natasha is not an amateur agent who knows nothing. Will she let herself be eavesdropped?
