"Master Qin, this gunman can accurately know the time and train number of Jin Gong's return, which means that Jin Gong's itinerary information has been leaked before this." Zhou Sen continued, "Jin Gong returned to Ice City this time without any fanfare. Very few people know about it, and the possibility of leaking the secret is extremely small. I have been thinking about it. The Qin Mansion has just experienced a big change, and people are panicking. Could it be that the eldest son of Qin leaked the news that Jin Gong secretly returned to Bingcheng? .”
"I, have you ever made a mistake? Why should I tell outsiders about my father-in-law's whereabouts?" Qin Xiong said angrily.
"I didn't say anything about you, but the same cannot be said for the people in your house. They are under the same roof as you. It's hard to guarantee that they will leak the news if they accidentally hear something." Zhou Sen said.
"This..." Qin Xiong couldn't say for sure. After Qin Laoqi passed away, he was so busy that he didn't hide Jin Ronggui's meeting with Bingcheng from his family. There must be many people who knew about it.
There is only one person here who leaks the news.
"Master Qin, finding the person who leaked the information to the outside world is equivalent to finding the organization behind the assassin. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Officer Zhou, are you sure that the person who leaked the secret is in the Qin family?" Qin Xiong asked with a gloomy face.
"I just came back from Xinjing, and I had a long talk with Jin Gong on the train back. I concluded that it is very likely that this person is in the Qin family, because the news is time-limited, and the earlier we know it, the better it will be. It can be arranged and planned in advance, otherwise, the possibility of an assassination plan being improvised is too small." Zhou Sen explained.
"This is just your conjecture. If you can't break the eucalyptus, aren't you going to pour dirty water on my Qin family's head?" Qin Xiong said angrily.
"That's not the case. Not every case can be solved in the end. I'm not Sherlock Holmes. There are too many cases that have not been solved by the National Police Agency. Even if I don't solve Ling Yue's case, it won't affect anything. In the end, At least this thing didn't have serious consequences." Zhou Sen chuckled, "But for Mr. Qin, if there is such a time bomb around you, it may explode again at any time. This time it is Mr. Jin. , who will it be next time?”
When Qin Xiong heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"Master Qin, if you cooperate, I will try to help you find this person. If you don't cooperate, then I will find a way myself. When the time comes, don't blame me for not saying hello in advance." Zhou Sen He stood up and said, "I've said what I said, take my leave."
Qin Xiong was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Zhou Sen would leave after saying a few words. It was not at all what he expected.
"Slow down, Officer Zhou." Qin Xiong was not stupid and quickly raised his hand to stop Zhou Sen.
"Master Qin, is there something wrong?"
"Officer Zhou, if you can find this leaker, how do you need my cooperation?" Qin Xiong asked word by word.
"I don't know anyone in your house, but I can do a little test." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"How to do it?"
"The law is not taught to the six ears, are you sure you want me to say it here?"
"Officer Zhou, please come to my study to talk." Qin Xiong nodded and led Zhou Sen to the study upstairs.
"This plan is very simple, that is, you summon everyone in the house to lecture you, saying that Master Qi has given you a dream, and someone has done something wrong to the Qin family. If he takes the initiative to resign and leave, Master Qi will forget the blame, but if he continues to stay in the Qin family, He is just plotting something evil. When the time comes..."
"Is this okay?"
"Things about ghosts and gods are made up, but this is a psychological tactic. As long as you find a person to act in a play, people who have done bad things to this person will naturally jump out. Moreover, you can also clear out a group of people with different intentions. , why not do it?" Zhou Sen said.
"Will you help me like this?"
"I'm just here to help you. I just want to break it." Zhou Sen said, "Although it doesn't have much impact on me whether it is broken or not, but if it is broken, it will also add to my credit book, right?"
"Okay, I will do as you say, but you must ensure that you find the organization behind the assassination of my father-in-law and eradicate it."
"I can't guarantee this. If the other party's background is too big, don't talk about me. I'm afraid even the Japanese can't do it." Zhou Sen said.
"As long as you can catch this cheating guy, I will publish an apology to Bai Yulan in the newspaper." Qin Xiong.
"This matter has nothing to do with the grudge between you and me." Zhou Sen shook his head.
Qin Xiong's mouth twitched angrily, but there was nothing he could do against Zhou Sen.
"Then I'll make arrangements now?"
"Not today. I've been here before. They are not stupid. They will think that you and I are colluding. So, we will have a quarrel later, and you will make an announcement tomorrow morning." Zhou Sen said.
"How to fry?"
"Do we still need to consider this issue?"
"My surname is Zhou, are you unblocking Qunfang Tower or not?" Qin Xiong suddenly slammed the table, pointed at Zhou Sen's nose and cursed.
"If Yan Yan is not caught for one day, Qunfang Tower will not be unblocked for one day!"
"Zhou, what you gave me is waiting!"
"Haha, I'm waiting..."
Zhou Sen slammed the door and left. Everyone in the Qin family was dumbfounded. They didn't know what they were saying just now, but why did they fall out in the blink of an eye?
This is not surprising. The two have a feud, and there is basically no possibility of "turning hostility into friendship".
…
"Let's go back to the intelligence room." Zhou Sen came out of Qin's house, got into the car and told Wu En that there was no point in going back to the police station. He might as well go back to the intelligence room.
Although the intelligence room is not a place for him alone, it is at least a place where he can make the decision alone.
There are too many eyes in the Police Department, and it’s always uncomfortable to be stared at.
"Why did you catch this eucalyptus? Don't you know how deep the water in this eucalyptus is?" Zhou Sen hasn't been to the intelligence room for several days. If Anna hadn't been unable to leave and couldn't find anyone, she would have followed Zhou Sen questioned him face to face.
"Can I refuse?" Zhou Sen asked, "Section Chief Akiyama personally ordered me to take over this project. What reason do I have to refuse?"
"You have a clue. The secret of the Iron Blood Society of the military has not yet been established. There is also a new intelligence office. There are so many things going on. How can you have the energy to investigate this secret?"
"Don't forget, you and I are not Japanese. If you want to refuse, you have to have the capital." Zhou Sen said, "Besides, the current intelligence room can only be counted as half. There are many things going on, and the superiors don't know. 'Iron Blood Society' There hasn't been much progress in the project, do you think Section Chief Akiyama will believe this excuse?"
"It's clear that this case can't be investigated any further, so I passed it on to you. You picked up a hot potato and came back. You really don't think you have too much to do." Anna complained.
"Okay, it's time to investigate, and it still needs to be investigated. If I don't do it, someone else will. As for the result, it depends on luck." Zhou Sen comforted Anna optimistically, "Don't worry about this. Okay, what’s the news from the hunters these days?”
"There is a lot of news that has been adjusted internally by the Far East Military Region. It is just some marginal information that is still being analyzed and screened. Do you want to see it? I can get it for you?" Anna said.
"Well, it's okay to be idle anyway..." Zhou Sen said casually. Indeed, no matter what the plan is, it will not be able to produce results in a short time.
Ana stretched out her hand to hold her forehead.
idle!
What was this guy thinking when he took on such a difficult task and actually said he was "free"?
Anna didn't know that Zhou Sen was indeed very idle, but he had nothing to do now. He had to wait, firstly, for news from Ai Qing, and secondly, for Qin Xiong's feedback.
This matter has been arranged, so what else can be done without waiting? Investigation and detection cannot be done by being busy and not touching the ground?
…
From the advertising department of Daxi Advertising Company, Ma Rongda came to work early in the morning. Yesterday he made an appointment with Lao Mao and told him that Chongqing did not have clear instructions on the deterioration of the skate blade set he reported.
This made him feel slightly uneasy.
His biggest reliance is Chongqing, especially Boss Dai's trust in him. After all, he is Boss Dai's student.
】
His coming to Bingcheng was a mission assigned by Boss Dai himself.
Now when it comes to the "skate" team, Boss Dai doesn't seem to completely believe him, which is one of the sources of his uneasiness.
Also, his plan went awry. The Japanese actually replaced someone to investigate the assassination of "Jin Ronggui" on the train.
This person happened to be the person he least expected.
He understood that the Japanese wanted to get more from him, but the problem was that he also had his own plans.
He could betray the skate team, but he didn't want to betray the military commander yet. In other words, he just wanted to use the Japanese swords to fulfill his ambition.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for half a year and it has finally arrived, but the result may not be what he imagined.
What are the Japanese doing? If they suspect Bai Yulan, why do they let Zhou Sen take over this project?
Could it be that Bai Yulan really secretly defected to the Japanese and the Japanese replaced Zhou Sen? But if that was the case, why didn't they use it in the first place?
He knew very well that the Japanese also wanted to know who he was, and this forced him to take the initiative to reveal his identity...
If he continues to hide, once Zhou Sen finds out, his life is likely to be in danger. Zhou Sen will definitely attack him in order to save his wife.
For the first time, Ma Rongda felt that his brain was a little weak, his mental state was very poor, and his mood was quite irritable.
One cigarette, another cigarette...
Soon, the ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts.
"Manager Ma, the boss informed me that there will be a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon. All managers and above must attend." The secretary opened the door and came in.
"I got it." Ma Rongda agreed and motioned to the secretary to go out and not to disturb him.
After much thought, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
…
It's getting cold, and the weather forecast on the radio says it may snow soon, but it's hard to say on which day it will snow.
On the way home from get off work, Zhou Sen went to Haicheng Road and said hello to Gu Laoliu and the others, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
Then, Zhou Sen asked Wu En to drive to the North Market and buy some mutton and beef, preparing to go home and eat mutton-boiled meat.
Back home, Zhou Sen gave the beef and mutton to Axiang and asked her to prepare them.
In the evening, the family gathers around the stove, simmering mutton and eating hot pot. Days like this will probably become less and less common in the future.
The grain harvest in Northern Manchuria was poor, and coupled with the grain rationing system introduced by the Japanese, grain prices rose and the lives of the people became increasingly difficult.
Zhou Sen is a government employee, and he is now a police leftist, and he works in the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department. The rice and flour rations are not enough to eat, so they can only be mixed with miscellaneous grains. As for meat, the price is even more ridiculous. .
It is obvious that the living standards of parents have dropped a lot compared to last year, especially when there is a pregnant woman at home this year.
They have money, and they do not rely on exploiting the people. However, those in the police department will not let their lives be bad. They must find ways to make money. The big ones can embezzle, and the small ones can take advantage of the people.
Even "Sen" Ji and Ningxiang Pavilion have to pay various "donations". There are people behind them. How miserable is the fate of ordinary businesses and people who have no one behind them?
Among them, the "waterproof public debt" item costs 25 million yuan. Even taking care of "Sen" Ji and Ningxiang Pavilion will cost 200,000 yuan.
This is just one of them, there are many others. With such a heavy burden, people like Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan feel the pressure doubled, so what about others?
After dinner, returning to the bedroom, Bai Yulan said while making the bed: "Today, Mr. Li from Tongji came to visit. Does he want me to buy shares in Tongji?"
"Is Tongji running into difficulties?" Zhou Sen was a little surprised. Tongji not only has his own shopping mall, but also a factory, and also has a brand name in Bingcheng. "Tongji" can no longer operate. It is conceivable that other How is the situation in industry and commerce?
Now I am afraid that only those who have a good relationship with the Japanese and puppets, or simply have the Japanese and puppets' background and interests, can live well.
Of course, you have to accept the Japanese blackmail, otherwise I will eat you without any negotiation.
"Tongji's warehouse in Shanghai lost a batch of cloth worth more than 2.55 million yuan." Bai Yulan said, "They have difficulties with liquidity, and they don't want to accept Japanese capital. I have cooperated with Tongji before. We have a good relationship with each other, so you came to me for help.”
"They shouldn't be begging you alone, right?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I don't know about that. There are not many people in Bingcheng who can come up with 200,000 yuan in one go." Bai Yulan said.
"Su Wenqing should be able to."
"He is poaching the Qin family now, and the financial chain is relatively tight. My colleagues are probably not willing to cooperate with him."
"Why, are they still at odds with each other?"
"Tongji also has a warehouse. The two companies used to be competitors." Bai Yulan said, "Tongji does warehousing better than Su Wenqing, and the price is fair. Su Wenqing had a price war with Tongji, but in the end he was beaten by Su Wenqing. To seize part of the share, I used to rent Tongji’s warehouse, so you know, Tongji at least won’t go to Su Wenqing first unless I explicitly reject him.”
"Is there any Japanese who wants to be the same reporter?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Yes, Bingcheng City Government Consultant Nakamura. He has always wanted to swallow up Tongji, but Tongji never gave him a chance. Therefore, Tongji is now experiencing difficulties in business, and it probably has a lot to do with Nakamura." Bai Yulan said.
"Is Nakamura Qin Xiong's backstage?"
"Well, Qin Xiong has a very good relationship with Nakamura. Nakamura invested a lot of money in Qin Xiong's new Taipingqiao gambling house," Bai Yulan said.
Zhou Sen knew that consultant Nakamura was a descendant of a down-and-out samurai family. He spent several years in the army. After retiring, he came to Manchuria, joined the Black Dragon Society, opened a cigarette shop, sold cigarettes, bullied the market, forced good girls into prostitution, and was particularly lustful.
He has a nickname called "Nakamura Villain".
