"Wait a minute, Uncle Chang, you are from Chongqing, why are you sending Markovich to the Far East?" Zhou Sen raised his hand and interrupted.
"Although we still have contact with Chongqing, there are few instructions from there. We have tried to send Markovich to the customs, but it is too far away and the road may not be safe. Even if we can send him safely, However, Markovich himself was not willing to do it, so the idea was later abandoned, and there was only one option, which was to send him north to return to Soviet Russia." Changbo explained.
"Go on."
"We took small roads along the way. Although it took a little longer, it was safe. Moreover, I have walked this road before, so I am familiar with it..."
"Across the border, we used to follow the master as escorts. We knew some people who used to cross the border frequently and had their own safe routes. The person I'm looking for is called Duan Laosan. We have dealt with this person in the past. It's more trustworthy when doing things with money, but I didn't expect that this guy had secretly defected to the Japanese a long time ago. On the surface, he accepted my money and promised to help me send Malkovich out safely. , If I hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid, both of us would have been captured by the Japanese and thrown into a black prison." Chang Bo gritted his teeth and touched the wound on his abdomen, grinning in pain.
Zhou Sen quickly wanted to help him lie down, but was stopped by a hand: "I'm fine, it's okay, wait until I finish speaking."
"Why don't you take a rest first, do you still have time?"
"This Duan Laosan secretly put medicine in the food we were eating. Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong and escaped overnight with Malkovich. However, the Japanese he brought with him caught up with him. I asked Malkovich I ran away first, and stayed behind to block and rear. The Japanese probably wanted to catch someone alive, so they didn’t use guns. The Japanese young man who led him was a master of swordsmanship. I injured two of them at once, and the young man came up to fight with me. , the people below me were chasing Markovich under the leadership of Duan Laosan. I underestimated this pony, but he actually made Duan Laosan and others spin around until I cut off the left arm of the Japanese young man. He also wounded me with a knife. I wanted to kill him with a knife, but Duan Laosan showed up. I had no choice but to retreat first and meet up with Malkovich. On the way, it was also thanks to this kid, otherwise, I There is no way to return to Ice City alive." Chang Bo briefly described the cause and effect.
"So, this Duan Laosan knows your identity?" Zhou Sen frowned when he heard this. This is simply the worst news.
"He doesn't know my true identity because I haven't met him before. I just heard that he has a way, is trustworthy, and does things for money, so I found him." Chang Bo said.
Zhou Sen breathed a sigh of relief. This Duan Laosan should be the equivalent of a "snakehead" who smuggles people into the country.
He just collects money to do things, but such people usually have something to do with both black and white. Most people just collect money to do things.
As for Markovich, there was something wrong with it at first glance, so Duan Laosan directly betrayed them to the Japanese.
And not only did he earn a share of money from Chang Bo, but he could also get another share from the Japanese. Anyway, if Chang Bo and Malkovich went to the Japanese, they would definitely not survive, so what were they worried about?
I'm afraid, he didn't expect Chang Bo to be so powerful, and his fighting power was even more outrageous. Not only did he escape capture, but he also cut off a Japanese arm.
And now we not only have to beware of revenge from Chang Bo, but the Japanese might also hate him.
"That's okay. If this Duan Laosan knew your identity, it would be troublesome. However, if he knew, I might have been targeted a long time ago." Zhou Sen analyzed.
"Uncle, Duan Laosan can't be kept, he must be eliminated."
"How to get rid of him? He's not in Ice City. Is it possible that I can still fly to JMS and help you kill him?" Zhou Sen asked.
"You can let Ale go."
"No, although Ale is your adopted son and has gained all your abilities, he is still a child after all. This matter needs long-term consideration. You should rest in peace and recuperate first." Zhou Sen objected.
"I will leave when my injury is a little better."
"Do you want to leave? Wait for my notice. As long as you don't meet Jun Sato or Satoshi Yamamoto, no one will be able to recognize you." Zhou Sen said, "From now on, you have to change your image."
"When I went to see Duan Laosan, I put on a little makeup, but my makeup skills are not very good..."
Of course Zhou Sen knew that Chang Bo wore makeup. From Zuo Tengjun's description, he knew that Chang Bo had not only grown a beard, but also made his hair whiter. However, familiar people could recognize it at a glance.
"Let me help you lie down and rest. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries. I will take care of the rest." Zhou Sen said.
"Uncle, Miss, over there..."
"I'll tell you, you don't have to worry," Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, okay..." Chang Bo lay down. He was probably really tired. After a while, he heard a slight snore.
Zhou Sen also closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair and took a nap.
I woke up several times during the night and found that Chang Bo was sleeping soundly. I touched his forehead and found no signs of fever.
It seems that the most dangerous stage is over.
When he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard someone knocking on the door. Zhou Sen quickly rubbed his face and opened the door, only to find that it was A Le and A Xiang who came together.
Ah Le came here to change shifts, and Ah Xiang naturally brought breakfast to Zhou Sen and Chang Bo. In fact, he could just go to a so-called shop on the street for his breakfast.
However, breakfast made at home is different, nutritious and exquisite.
Zhou Sen quickly washed up, then ate the breakfast brought by A Xiang, and then informed A Le, who was feeding Chang Bo breakfast, about the situation and left the hospital.
Wu En parked the car on the road opposite the hospital gate.
"Let's go first..." Zhou Sen did not go directly to the police station to work, but reported an address and asked Wu En to drive him there.
Ai Qingshan rented a yard near the station as a warehouse to store the medicinal materials he purchased. He was in the wholesale business and did not need a front room. A warehouse that could store medicinal materials would be enough.
This yard can be used as a warehouse and as a place for people to live, so he simply moved out of the hotel and lived in it, saving a lot of money.
There are very few people who know where this warehouse is. Ai Qingshan's business has not yet spread, and he doesn't want to let too many people know about it.
Zhou Sen asked Wu En to park the car in an alley not far from the warehouse, and he got out of the car and walked nearly a hundred meters before arriving at the back door of the yard where the warehouse was located.
Ai Qingshan is a Lianjiazi. Lianjiazi usually doesn't sleep in, and his life is also very regular.
At this moment, he had already practiced boxing and was sweating slightly. He was washing in the yard and would go out after breakfast.
In addition to him, there were two other clerks living in the warehouse. Naturally, these two clerks were his own, specially allocated to him by the political commissar, and they were both clean-blooded and well-established people.
They respectfully call Ai Qingshan "the boss".
"Master, it's time to eat." The young boy, wearing a sleeveless coat, shouted at the top of his lungs.
Although it is already early summer, the temperature in Ice City is not high. At 17 or 18 degrees, if you can't bear it, you can freeze to death.
"Here we come." Ai Qingshan promised, poured out the water in the basin, and was about to turn around and go back to the house when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Instantly, there was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the courtyard.
"A Dong, go take a look." Ai Qingshan ordered.
The guy named A Dong nodded, bent down and pulled out a dagger from his trousers, pinned it behind his back, and then walked towards the door.
First, he glanced out through the crack in the door. When he saw it was Zhou Sen, he naturally recognized him. He quickly inserted the dagger back in, reached out and lifted the door bolt, and opened the door.
When Ai Qingshan saw A Dong's action, he knew that he was at least an acquaintance, not a stranger, and his heart naturally dropped.
When he saw Zhou Sen coming in from outside, he was a little surprised. Although it was not impossible for Zhou Sen to come, it was just a bit strange to come at this time.
"Why are you here?" Ai Qingshan put down the washbasin and towel, walked towards Zhou Sen and said hello.
"I have something to talk to you about. Let's go in and talk." Zhou Sen couldn't help but pulled Ai Qingshan towards the house where he lived.
"I haven't had breakfast yet..."
Ai Qingshan was dragged into the house by Zhou Sen.
"Brother Qingshan, there is something very difficult that needs you to do, and only you can do it." Zhou Sen said seriously.
"No, what you asked me to do might be digging a hole waiting for me, so let's talk about it first, what is it?"
"Uncle Chang is in trouble. He chopped off the arm of a Japanese young man." Zhou Sen said without any surprise.
"What?" Ai Qingshan's eyes widened when he heard this. It was obvious that he was also frightened by the news.
"He himself was injured and is currently recuperating in our hospital. At present, the Japanese young man is also in Ice City. Next, the Japanese will probably not let him go. Therefore, we must find a way to cut off the Japanese. All investigation clues." Zhou Sen said.
"How to cut it off?"
"I will be responsible for the injured Japanese young man, but you have to deal with the people who have been in contact with Chang Bo and who may provide clues." Zhou Sen said.
"Well, how to deal with this?"
"First, Chang Bo escorted an escaped Soviet prisoner back to the Far East before encountering the Japanese. Chang Bo arranged for this Soviet prisoner to be hidden in Shuangcheng. You have to find him and bring him to a safe place. Placement, secondly, do you know about a man named Duan Laosan?"
"Duan Laosan, I've heard of this person, what's wrong?"
"He was the one who betrayed Chang Bo and was the one who could testify against Chang Bo. He is an important witness and cannot be allowed to live." Zhou Sen said.
"This is not an easy task. Besides, how do I know where this Duan Laosan is?" Ai Qingshan said with a solemn expression.
"I will help you with this, but I only provide information, but you have to solve it." Zhou Sen said.
Ai Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"The first thing you have to do is to do it right away. You can't let this Soviet prisoner fall into the hands of the Japanese. Otherwise, not only Chang Bo, but Yu Lan and I will have to flee to the end of the world." Zhou Sen said.
Ai Qingshan could hear the seriousness of the situation here. Chang Bo was also his elder, and this was also dealing with the Japanese. How could he stand idly by?
"I'll pack up and set off immediately, but how can this Soviet prisoner come with me?" Ai Qingshan asked.
"After they separated, they left their contact information and password, just in case Chang Bo couldn't go." Zhou Sen said, "As long as you can match the password, the other party will naturally follow you."
"Well, where's the code?"
"When you see Malkovich, you ask, how many moles are there on the back of Duan Laosan's neck? He will answer, one big, one small, two in total."
"What kind of code is this? Is it possible that this Duan Laosan really has two moles, one big and one small, on the back of his neck?" Ai Qingshan asked with a strange expression.
"Of course not. There is only a black mole on the back of Duan Laosan's neck and under his left ear. It is as big as a copper coin. It should be a birthmark or something." Zhou Sen said.
"I understand. This is a deliberate mistake. Someone who really knows the situation may not be able to say it right." Ai Qingshan nodded.
"That's the thing. After you pick up Markovich, then send him to the old camp. He knows the place himself. You can also stop by and learn about the situation there." Zhou Sen said.
"I know the place of Laoying. It is an abandoned forest farm deep in Erlong Mountain (this is just a random fabrication). I have stayed there before, but the road is not easy to walk. A flash flood washed away the original road and cut down the trees. The timber could not be transported out and the dredging cost was too high, so the forest farm was abandoned," Ai Qingshan said.
"Since you know him, that's even better. You need to carry some supplies into the mountains, at least to ensure Malkovich's life needs for a month."
"Can he live independently? It's a forest area. Only experienced hunters can survive."
"You don't have to worry about this. If he didn't have this ability, he would have been captured and beheaded by the Japanese long ago." Zhou Sen said.
"In that case, what about the funds for my mission?" Ai Qingshan stretched out his hand and directly asked Zhou Sen for money.
"Don't you have any money?"
"If I were rich, I wouldn't come to Bingcheng to do business with you." Ai Qingshan said, "You don't know how difficult the life of the anti-Japanese troops in Northern Manchuria is now?"
In desperation, Zhou Sen took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the money inside, left some change, and stuffed the big bills into Ai Qingshan's hands, "That's all I have on hand, it should be enough for you to buy supplies."
"Thank you, brother-in-law Xiaomori, you are very rich. Compared with you, I am a pauper." Ai Qingshan unceremoniously put a roll of banknotes into his pocket.
"Be careful when buying supplies. Don't be targeted. Buy from several stores, don't just buy from one." Zhou Sen reminded.
"Don't worry, I still understand this."
