above the point of the knife

Chapter 144

No one lived there for a long time.

The popularity of Shelkin's house has been scattered, and there has been a murder here. It is not easy for the landlord to rent out the house.

They can only be listed for sale while they are out of the group.

But such a house, even if it is sold at a reduced price, I am afraid that it is not something ordinary people can buy, at least it will cost [-] to [-] to buy it.

The seal had been torn off and the door had been locked.

But Zhou Sen couldn't be bothered, if the police couldn't even open this kind of lock, then don't do it, besides, he came here quietly.

"Wu En, stay at the door, I'll go in and have a look." Zhou Sen ordered.

He went upstairs alone with a lantern.

Although it was not the first time I came here, this time my mood was completely different from the previous few times. Such a person who is willing to be misunderstood for his belief is worthy of respect.

The scene of the crime should still be in the bedroom. Even though Anna and Nafeya cleaned up the scene, this fact cannot be changed.

Shelkin was poisoned to death, but in order to cover up this fact, Anna actually set up a murder scene.

How did she deceive Fei Ya and let her help cover it up?
money?
Or other threats.

These are not important anymore, Zhou Sen pushed open the half-covered door, a gust of wind blew in, and the curtains in the room were blown up, it was strange.

Zhou Sen walked in and put the lantern on the head of the bed that had already been covered with a layer of dust. The bed was not cleaned up and it was in a mess.

If Shelkin had dropped that capsule by accident, it should still be in the room, if he had done it on purpose.

That range has to be narrowed down.

Zhou Sen began to observe, such a small capsule, dark green, in the bedroom where the light is not very good, it is not easy to get up early.

He opened the pillow, and then reached out to touch every inch, but found nothing, then the quilt, and the mattress under him.

I touched it carefully, but found nothing.

In that case, Shelkin probably wouldn't have had enough time to hide, if there were any secrets in this vanishing capsule.

He just came here to try his luck, and he might not really gain anything.

In this case, it is based on suspicion. Come and confirm it. There is a high probability that his discovery is wrong.

The Japanese are not fools either, they wouldn't be able to discover the details that a layman can discover?

But this possibility is not ruled out.

They don't seem to be particularly smart, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do those crazy and stupid things.

Shelkin's study room was emptied by him, and if he wanted to find it, he would have found it long ago, so he could only find it in this bedroom.

Suddenly Zhou Sen's eyes fell on the bed. Sheerkin's bed was surrounded by an iron frame, which was very heavy, no wonder it was very stable.

Iron canopy bed...

Holding the lantern, Zhou Sen looked it up and down carefully. Not all of these things are solid, and some iron pipes are hollow.

Zhou Sen reached out and touched the bedside one by one, and he actually felt a slight movement in one of them.

He tried all the others, but they were all welded to death and could not be moved. Only this iron pipe could still move. Zhou Sen thought that the welding part was loose, which was normal, but when he stretched out his hand and tried again, It was discovered that this small iron pipe could turn.

This discovery surprised him very much. Just when he wanted to remove the iron pipe, he found that he could not.

Put down the lantern, took out the flashlight, bent down to observe, and found that the two sections of the iron pipe were embedded in the upper and lower thick iron pipes.

After observing other iron pipes, it is found that they are all welded on the outside, only this iron pipe is embedded inside.

Could it be that this iron pipe is used for fixing?
Zhou Sen stared at the iron pipe for tens of seconds, and suddenly frowned. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the iron pipe and pressed it down. A resistance came, and as the iron pipe moved down an inch, the upper part was cut off. mouth exposed.

Surprised, Zhou Sen pulled out the iron pipe easily.

A spring was welded to the other end of the iron pipe, and the fracture was closed. He turned the iron pipe upside down, and a dark green capsule poured out from it.

Zhou Sen's heart skipped a beat, as if the blood rushed directly to his forehead, he quickly put away the capsule, and then re-installed the iron tube back to its original place.

There must be a secret hidden in this capsule. Zhou Sen quickly restored the room to its original state based on his memory, and then went downstairs with the lantern.

"Wu En, go back!" Zhou Sen quickly got into the car and told Wu En.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Ningxiang Pavilion."

……

After the carriage drove away, a black slender figure came out from the shadows, looking at the carriage in the distance, thoughtfully.

……

"Why did you come back? Everyone is waiting for you to eat. The food has been reheated twice." Back at Ningxiang Restaurant, Bai Yulan complained.

"I have something to do at the moment, so I'll be late." Zhou Sen took off his coat and handed it to Axiang, "Next time I come back late, you don't have to wait for me to eat, just leave some for me."

"Is my uncle busy with work recently?" Chang Bo asked in a muffled voice.

"It's been a bit lately. Isn't it the first month? It's spring and the weather is getting warmer, so it's time to get busy." Zhou Sen picked up his job bowl and said with a chuckle.

After dinner.

Zhou Sen asked Jiang Judao: "Xiao Rou, have you settled down on the Tongle stage?"

"Well, it's almost there. The stage conditions at Tongle are a little worse, but it gives us a lot more freedom, and we don't have to look at other people's faces, which is much better than on the new stage." Jiang Rou nodded.

"Is anyone leaving?"

"There are seven or eight people. They have been in contact with the new stage in private, and they don't want to come with us." Speaking of this, it is still a bit sad. After being together for many years, they just separated like this. Jiang Rou didn't make it difficult for them. This kind of thing is easy to get together and break up. She doesn't want to embarrass others like Sun Qingkui.

"It's okay, they will soon understand how wrong their choice was." Zhou Sen chuckled.

"Ah."

"Don't worry, the Ruiqing class needs to be reformed, reorganized, and the backward organizational structure of the past must be abandoned. The actors must be given respect and freedom. This person is going to a higher place. Only when people flow, this industry will not be a stagnant pool. It is thriving." Zhou Sen said, "If you stick to your old ways, you will make your own path narrower and narrower."

"Young master's layout is really extraordinary!" Chang Bo chuckled.

"That is, in terms of strategic planning, I really dare to say that there are not many people who can match me, but in terms of execution ability, then I am almost as good as our family Yulan, so we are complementary and a natural pair. " Zhou Sen boasted.

"You really are not humble at all!"

"Chang Bo, you're not too young now, do you have a wife?" Zhou Sen knew that Chang Bo was a little afraid of him.

Of course, this is not due to enmity, but because she doesn't like Bai Yulan's match with him, and there is always a sense of targeting him.

Naturally, you can't always wait for your daughter-in-law to support you, how embarrassing is that?
"Grandpa, what do you mean, you want to introduce my wife?" Chang Bo suddenly became vigilant. In the past few days, he and Zhou Sen had quarreled a lot, and he had roughly figured out his temper. Although he was a little timid, but He has a clever head, and he cheats people without discussing it.

"You see, you are already old, and you have old cold legs, right, if there is a woman to serve you, don't you have to live at least a few more years?"

"What's the matter, uncle, what do you want to say?"

"Have you met Irina in my family? She was married, divorced, and has no children. She is in her early 40s, a little younger than you. She can cook, and she knows what's cold and what's hot. Otherwise, I'll give you Match them up?" Zhou Sen said.

"That foreign woman, I don't want it!" Chang Bo refused immediately with the fat image of Yin Linna in his mind.

"Come on, you don't know anything about it. How do you know that people are not good? Although Irina in our family is not young, she has a simple mind. She has been serving at our house for more than ten years. What kind of work is she doing?" I know how to do it, and I can sing ditty songs, just the Erren Zhuan, I can sing very well...Changbo, don't go, let's talk for a while, think about this matter, kiss more..."

Looking at the back of Changbo leaving in a hurry, Bai Yulan also pursed her lips and smiled. When Changbo met Zhou Sen, he had met his nemesis. From now on, as long as Zhou Sen talked about it, Changbo would probably walk around him. .

"This Uncle Chang is not young, and he is very angry, so he must be defeated..." Zhou Sen muttered, suddenly realizing that this topic was a little out of place.

"Xiaorou, don't be afraid of anything. They are the ones who left because they were stupid. Take a rest these two days and think about the drama club. If you need anything, feel free to ask you sister Yulan." Zhou Sen said to Jiang Rou .

"I see, brother, I won't bother you and Sister Lan anymore, I'm going to rest." Jiang Rou politely got up and said goodbye.

"How about Su Wenqing, has the Wen family's 15.00% been taken?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Tang Peiyuan also approached him and offered 25 yuan, hoping to buy the 25% of the shares from the Wen family." Bai Yulan said, "[-] yuan, this Tang Peiyuan is really stingy."

"and then?"

"The Wen family refused. Although Tang Peiyuan has paid dividends every year these years, it has secretly been blackmailed a lot. The Wen family has long been dissatisfied. Besides, they dare not offend Su Wenqing. For the same price, he would rather sell it to Su Wenqing. I won't sell it to Tang Peiyuan," Bai Yulan said.

"Su Wenqing took it?"

"This Su Wenqing has always been bold, and he probably wants to suppress it so as to make up for the little loss on us." Bai Yulan said.

"He's not afraid that we'll make a direct move, so he won't be able to earn the money?"

"I'm not afraid of that. My relationship with the Wen family is worse than that of the Wen family and the Tang family. If I come forward, I'm afraid the Wen family won't even talk to me," Bai Yulan said.

"Do you have grievances?"

"Although the grievances of the previous generation have little to do with me, it is not so easy to resolve them. Otherwise, why would I ask Su Wenqing to come forward?" Bai Yulan said.

"Then wait." Zhou Sen nodded, got up and said, "I'll go back to sleep first, you should go to bed early too."

"I'll take you there."

……

Back in the room, Zhou Sen finally had the opportunity to take out the dark green capsule he had hidden in his pocket, and put it under the lamp for careful observation.

The dark green exterior blocked the light, making it impossible to see what was inside from the outside, but it was no accident that this capsule appeared in the movable iron pipe at the head of the bed.

I found a pair of tweezers in the drawer, wound the cloth ends, carefully clamped one end, and turned it slowly.

Not long after, the capsule split into two, revealing the true face inside.

A small rolled-up note, somewhat yellowish in color, Zhou Sen held it in his hand and carefully unfolded it.
