Nishihara Junichiro wanted to arrange a place for Zhou Sen, but Zhou Sen politely refused. He said that in order to have the freedom to do business, he planned to rent a place by himself.
Since Sato Jun recommended him to come here, he must have valued his appearance and had nothing to do with the local JMS.
If he lets Junichiro Nishihara arrange to live in his place, it will definitely attract the attention of outsiders.
In this case, the investigation cannot be kept confidential.
Nishihara Junichiro saw that what Zhou Sen said was reasonable, so he didn't insist on it. Anyway, even if he was renting a house, it was impossible for Zhou Sen not to tell him.
Since it was within control, there was no need for him to put people under his nose. In this case, it wouldn't be unpopular.
Junichiro Nishihara also asked Zhou Sen to have lunch with him, but Zhou Sen still refused, saying that he was a little tired after taking the train all night and wanted to take a rest.
Anyway, we didn’t make an appointment for a reception banquet in the evening, so we would naturally have the opportunity to eat together.
Nishihara Junichiro didn't force it, handed the files to Zhou Sen, then personally sent him downstairs and watched him leave Songlin Yang.
"Send two people to follow." Nishihara Junichiro waved his hand, summoned a subordinate, and gave an order.
"Hayin!"
It was already noon when Zhou Sen came out of Songlin Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Although he had just eaten breakfast not long ago, he was still young and digested quickly, so he still felt a little hungry.
I wanted to take a stroll around this small JMS town, but I thought to myself that it would be better to go back first, so I used a gesture to say hello to Anna who was waiting for him outside.
Anna understood the situation and did not come over to join Zhou Sen immediately. Instead, she followed him closely at a distance from him.
The two little tails sent by Junichiro Nishihara were sandwiched between Zhou Sen and Anna, like clowns.
This kind of tracking trick is too childish for them.
It wasn't until Zhou Sen entered the "Spring Breeze" Hotel that one of the two little tails left, while the other stayed outside and continued to monitor.
Zhou Sen opened the door and walked into his room.
Ana had already returned first, entered her room, and sat on the bed, seemingly waiting for him.
"Why did you come into my room?" Zhou Sen frowned slightly, a little displeased. He knew that this kind of room lock would not be difficult for Anna at all. It would be very easy for her to come in.
"How was your conversation with Captain Nishihara?" Anna asked.
"There isn't much useful information, but the people here may not be so friendly to our arrival," Zhou Sen said.
"Someone doesn't want us to come?"
"I don't know. At least, the relationship between the police station and the secret service here is not very good." Zhou Sen said, "They don't seem to trust each other very much."
"Is there a conflict?" Anna didn't feel surprised when she heard this. It's normal for there to be conflicts among internal efforts.
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Last year, the gendarmerie and the security bureau fought over misuse of a cracked radio station. In the end, nothing happened." Zhou Sen said, "This time we come to JMS. Logically speaking, the special service department should cooperate with us. work, but Junichiro Nishihara arranged for a deputy chief of the Criminal Division to cooperate with us."
"It seems that their internal struggle is quite fierce." Anna nodded.
"Although this has nothing to do with us, we must be careful not to be used as a gun." Zhou Sen said.
"Do you know what we are here for?" Anna asked.
"Check."
"Toshi Sato's eucalyptus?"
"Yeah." Zhou Sen nodded. Zuto Jun's suspicion was very clear. There was no doubt. He just didn't know the identity of the "murderer". And Yamamoto Satoshi already knew that one of them was Malkovich. It was estimated that this was the reason. He recommended to Jun Sato why he came.
"Call Uen, let's eat first."
"good."
In fact, the hotel also manages meals, but the food is relatively average and you have to place an order in advance. If you want to eat it now, the kitchen has nothing to prepare.
The three of them could only go to the streets and eat out.
Since they had missed their meal a long time ago, there were not many options to choose from, but they still found a small restaurant called Kanto Dairan Stew.
This stew is well done and actually delicious.
So, Zhou Sen led Anna and Wu En into the restaurant. Zhou Sen had eaten random stews before, but rarely, and Wu En had eaten more. Poor families don't pay so much attention to all kinds of dishes. Put it in a pot and stew it.
As long as there is meat, the stewed dishes will be fragrant, especially good with rice.
You can choose from the random stew in the store, which is good. Some people may not eat certain dishes, which is not good if it violates a taboo.
The three of them didn't have any taboos, so they ordered a beef offal-based stew, just one dish. Since they had something to do in the afternoon, they didn't drink, so they ordered three bowls of sorghum rice.
The big bowl was full and looked very oily. In addition to beef offal, there were also potatoes, cabbage, vermicelli, fried tofu and so on. It was quite appetizing and the main quantity was quite sufficient.
"We can't stay in a hotel all the time. It's inconvenient. We have to find a place to stay and rent a house." Zhou Sen said while eating.
"Then Xiyuan didn't arrange a place for us to stay?"
"He did bring it up, but I refused. It's a bit awkward to do things under the noses of others, what do you think?"
"Agree." Anna nodded, she didn't want others to arrange her.
"This house shouldn't be too remote, it should be independent, and the most important thing is that it has electricity. It doesn't matter whether it has a phone or not. It needs to be convenient for life, including shopping for groceries and other things nearby." Zhou Sen said, "In summer, it doesn't matter. If you want to take a shower, you must have a separate bathroom. These are the few requirements. After dinner, we will walk around the city and rent something suitable."
"What about me, Brother Sen?"
"Hurry back after you finish your meal and watch our luggage, especially the radio station." Zhou Sen ordered.
"oh."
After finishing the meal, when I paid the bill, the price was not expensive, much lower than the consumption level in Bingcheng.
Wu En returned to the "Spring Breeze" Hotel, while Zhou Sen and Anna held arms, like a young and loving couple, and headed towards Nangang Street.
If they want to rent a house, they must have a suitable identity. If they say they are brother and sister, who would believe them based on their faces?
But if they are a couple, there is no doubt about it. Although not many White Russian women from Manchuria have married locals, there are still many.
Especially for Zhou Sen, who looks handsome and well-dressed, almost like a young master, it is not unusual to marry a foreigner as his wife.
jms The city is not big, and it only takes half a day to go shopping. Besides, the two of them are nominally shopping, but they are actually memorizing the streets and topography of the city in their minds.
And, of course, renting.
They are new here and are not familiar with the situation. The best way is to ask an agent for help, submit their requirements and leave their contact information.
In the evening, JMS restaurant.
As a guest from afar, Zhou Sen was here to catch up with Anna tonight, so naturally he couldn't go too late.
It's almost enough to arrive ten minutes in advance of the agreed time.
The owner of Songlin Mathematics Company was treating guests, but the restaurant owner did his best to serve the guests. He had to use the best cooks to prepare the best dishes.
When Zhou Sen and Anna arrived, they revealed their identities, and the boss personally came to welcome them upstairs.
They were not the first to arrive.
There was already a man in the private room. He was in his early thirties, wearing a grass green police uniform (the summer uniform of the Puppet Manchukuo police was this color, and the black uniform in the TV series was the winter uniform). Looking at the collar badge, he was a police lieutenant just like him. .
When they met, the other party was also stunned. He looked unfamiliar and had never seen him before.
"This is Section Chief Qian, I am Steven Zhou. This is my friend, Miss Martha." Zhou Sen introduced him first, using his and Anna's status as lurkers in Khabarovsk.
Qian Yanbo was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Are you two Mr. Nishihara's guests tonight?"
"Yes." Zhou Sen nodded.
"Please take a seat." Qian Yanbo immediately smiled like a blooming flower and hurriedly asked Zhou Sen and Anna to sit down.
"Mr. Steven Zhou, where do you find your job?" Qian Yanbo asked enthusiastically after Zhou Sen and Anna sat down.
"I do a little business."
"That's what you do?"
"I'll do anything, as long as I can make money." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"That is, that is, you are Mr. Nishihara's friend, so you must be doing big business." Qian Yanbo analyzed and thought on his own.
Zhou Sen secretly laughed in his heart. Qian Yanbo probably didn't know what he was going to do next. He was just called over by Junichiro Nishihara.
"It's hard to do business these days. I've just arrived at JMS. I will have to rely on Section Chief Qian in the future." Zhou Sen said politely.
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Being praised like this, Qian Yanbo couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
In a moment.
Two figures appeared at the door, led by Junichiro Nishihara in kimono, followed by an officer wearing the uniform of a Japanese second lieutenant.
This should be Kitajima, the commander of the military police unit that Nishihara mentioned.
If Junichiro Nishihara hadn't invited anyone else, then all the guests would have arrived tonight.
Zhou Sen, Qian Yanbo and Anna stood up to greet them.
"Zhou Sang, Qian Sang is here."
"Hayin."
"This beautiful lady must be Zhou Sen's confidante, Miss Martha?" Nishihara Junichiro's eyes suddenly changed when he saw Anna.
"Martha has met Mr. Nishihara." Anna bowed slightly calmly. She had long been accustomed to the virtues of Japanese men.
"Okay, Zhou Sang, Miss Martha, let me introduce to you. This is Second Lieutenant Bei Dao, the leader of the JMS military police unit!"
"Hello, Bei Dao-kun."
Bei Dao nodded slightly to Zhou Sen, showing no signs of joy or anger.
"This Qian Yanbo Qian Sang..."
"Mr. Zhou, my subordinate, Qian Yanbo, has been trusted by the Imperial Army and has been appointed as the deputy chief of the Criminal Section of the JMS Police Station." Ever since Junichiro Nishihara came in, Qian Yanbo's waist has not straightened up. It seems that this person is Nishihara. Junichiro's loyal lackey, this kind of person is the best at adapting to the situation, and he is a veteran. It is difficult to use, but if you use it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, everyone, please sit down." Junichiro Nishihara greeted with a smile.
Junichiro Nishihara was the host, so he naturally sat at the main seat. Zhou Sen was the guest at the reception banquet and sat on the left of Junichiro Nishihara, followed by Anna, and Bei Dao and Qian Yanbo on the right.
After sitting down, Nishihara Junichiro ordered the drinks and dishes to be brought out.
The restaurant arranged for a young waitress to pour wine for everyone. After everyone's glasses were filled, she exited the box with a wave from Junichiro Nishihara.
"Come on, this banquet tonight is for Zhou Sang to join JMS. Let's have a drink!" Junichiro Nishihara stood up and raised his glass.
Everyone stood up one after another and clinked their wine glasses.
After drinking it in one sip, Junichiro Nishihara personally picked up the jug and filled the four glasses with wine.
"Come, let's have some food. This is the best restaurant in JMS. Later, Zhou Sang can try their deer feast."
"Deer Banquet, okay, thank you Mr. Nishihara for your hospitality." Zhou Sen chuckled, and immediately picked up the wine glass, "I'm sorry to be rude, so I borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. Firstly, I want to thank Mr. Nishihara for the warm hospitality, and secondly, I want to meet Captain Bei Dao and Section Chief Qian. Friends, I hope you two will take good care of me during the days of JMS."
Second Lieutenant Bei Dao nodded slightly. He seemed to be a bit serious about his words, but Qian Yanbo was different. The wrinkles on his face were opened when he smiled.
After the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors, it is natural to transition to the real business.
"Both Zhou Sang and Miss Martha belong to the Kanto Intelligence Department. They are the best intelligence agents in the empire. They once risked their lives and lurked into Khabarovsk, the capital of the Soviet Far East for half a year. In the end, they had to evacuate due to a rescue mission, but they He still completed the rescue mission brilliantly and returned unscathed, receiving a strong commendation from the Intelligence Department!"
"This is not the result of Martha and I alone. It was the cooperation of many elite imperial agents like me that completed the lurking and rescue mission." Zhou Sen stood up humbly and said.
At this time, Qian Yanbo's eyes changed when he looked at Zhou Sen. Anyone who dared to lurk in Russia and came back intact, in his eyes, was a god!
"This time, the superiors sent Zhou Sang and Miss Martha to our JMS because Jun Zuoto, the head of our JMS branch, was seriously injured in a hunt for Soviet spies a while ago. Now Zuoto Jun is here. The president is receiving treatment in Ice City, but the murderer of this murder and the Soviet spy are still at large. We must capture them and sentence them to death!" Junichiro Nishihara said with a fierce light in his eyes and his fist on the table. .
"Yes, Mr. Nishihara is right, Gui Yu must be captured and brought to justice!" Qian Yanbo quickly agreed.
"But this case is very complicated and involves many forces, so the superiors sent us Zhou Sang and Miss Martha to take the lead in detecting the case and arresting the criminals." Nishihara Junichiro announced, "Kitashima-kun, Qian Sang!”
"Hayin!"
"You two are responsible for assisting Zhou Sang and Miss Martha in their work, and follow their instructions and arrangements."
Second Lieutenant Kitajima remained silent, obviously reluctant, but Junichiro Nishihara looked over and he lowered his head and said "Ha Yin".
As for Qian Yanbo, he couldn't wait to agree.
