above the point of the knife

Chapter 214 Old Gun
"Brother, have you ever thought about being a policeman?" Jiang Rou asked tentatively, "With your current family business, you don't need a policeman's salary, right?"

"It's true that I don't have much money to be a policeman, and I don't need to be corrupt, but in Bingcheng, if I don't have the skin of my brother, I'm afraid my little family property won't be able to withstand the troubles of others." Zhou Sen laughed, "Little Rou, you don't have much experience, so you don't understand the reason behind this, as long as you are still a policeman, everyone should respect you three points, we won't bully others, but at least we won't let others bully us."

"But, if you do this, you are helping the evildoers, and you will be cast aside by everyone in the future!" Jiang Ju said.

"Have you ever seen me bully the people?"

Jiang Rou shook her head.

"Have you ever seen me capture fighters against the Manchurian Anti-Japanese War?"

Jiang Rou also shook her head.

"Then how can I count as helping the evildoers?" Zhou Sendao, "There are thousands of policemen in Bingcheng, even if I don't do it, others will do it. I don't need to be this policeman, but at least I can guarantee that I can be an effective policeman." A policeman with a bottom line in principle, if you replace my brother with another person, do you know what will happen in my position?"

Jiang Rou was speechless when she was questioned by Zhou Se. She hadn't thought about these questions, and she couldn't answer them. Many comrades working underground also appeared in various identities, whether they were fake or not. Man is still in other places, and there are also many "traitors" on the surface.

This is determined by the particularity of underground work. As an underground worker herself, she understands the incomprehensible pressure in it.

Although Poporov didn't tell her something, out of intuition and sensitivity, she felt that Zhou Sen's identity was unusual.

"When someone needs to fight, someone needs to be dormant. Struggle is not just a violent resistance, it also requires wisdom and endurance." Zhou Sen said with a finger.

"Brother, when will you come to the new stage to listen to me sing? I will reserve the best seats for you and Sister Lan." Jiang Rou asked.

"Just watch the time. You don't need to reserve a seat for us. As long as it's your show, we can sit anywhere." Zhou Sen chuckled, "If something happens, don't fight it alone, tell brother, or Tell your sister Lan that we are a family."

"I see, brother." Jiang Rou nodded, got up and said, "It's getting late, don't disturb brother, your sister Lan is resting."

……

Although he knows the taste by eating marrow, Zhou Sen is not a person who doesn't know how to control himself. The days are still long, and the water will flow forever.

Throwing off the quilt and sitting up, Zhou Sen embraced Bai Yulan's soft waist, leaned against the head of the bed, and lay down contentedly.

"Xiaorou's words are somewhat reasonable. Why don't you think about it and get rid of this policeman?" Bai Yulan said, nestling in Zhou Sen's shoulder. She also heard the conversation in the small hall outside. The conversation was not avoided.

"You think I don't want to, but I can't." Zhou Sen said, but now he doesn't want to do it either.

To connect with the Communist International, at least there is no problem with identity. If there is a misunderstanding in the future, at least there will be an explanation.

Unlike in the past, when I was forced to do something against my will, I couldn't explain it.

"why?"

"You value me so much because of Japan, and cultivate me, is it because of my ability? They have taken a fancy to my identity."

"Identity, what other identity do you have that I don't know?"

"It's my adoptive father Anthony. He is a core member of the Russian Patriot Union. He is responsible for training and dispatching White Russian spies to carry out lurking and sabotage missions against Soviet Russia. I am his only heir." Zhou Sen felt that he had to confess something to Bai Yulan. , In this way, she will no longer be entangled in doubting his position.

"Huh?" Bai Yulan was taken aback.

"Let me tell you, you must never tell anyone that I have disappeared for more than half a year..." Zhou Sen explained to Bai Yulan softly what he had done for more than half a year.

Bai Yulan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she never expected that what Zhou Sen had experienced in the past six months would be so dangerous.

Fortunately, it came back intact, otherwise, it would be really terrible.

"The Japanese are jackals, and the Russians are vicious bears. Anyway, they are not good people. It's good to let them eat dogs." At the end, Zhou Sen concluded.

"So, your next work in Bingcheng will not involve domestic affairs?" Bai Yulan seemed relieved.

"I don't know. At present, the situation in Japan and the Soviet Union is still unclear. Anyway, I just came back, and I still have reasons to shirk. I will talk about it after seeing the situation clearly." Zhou Sen said, "Shibuya Saburo asked me to go to the Special Affairs Division of the Police Department, and then I will be promoted. Level [-], I can't refuse this."

"You went to the secret service department, isn't that under Lin Dakuan's command?"

"Not necessarily. Saburo Shibuya has always been the chief of the secret service section, but this time, he himself is not in a stable position. He may transfer a section chief from another place, and the chief of the secret service department is usually Japanese. .” Zhou Sen said.

"Then what are you doing in the Secret Service?"

"I don't know yet. I'll take a two-day vacation and wait for the official report." Zhou Sen said, "I'm not in a hurry, why bother?"

"Well, you haven't seen any of these middle managers in the company, why don't you arrange to meet them..."

"I see what they do, it doesn't make sense."

"It doesn't matter whether you know them or not, but they have to know you. Otherwise, it's no joke if your family doesn't know your family."

"No need. If we want to see each other, at the end of the year, invite them over for a meal and a red envelope. It will save face. Now it's neither salty nor light, see you." Zhou Sen refused.

It is such a comfortable thing to be a shopkeeper and eat soft food. What do you do to find yourself uncomfortable?

"It's fine, anyway, it won't be long before the Chinese New Year." Bai Yulan didn't insist. Isn't Zhou Sen's doing so a kind of trust in her.

……

Renyi Hall, Qin Lang specially invited him to have breakfast in this meaningful shop. When the two of them came, there were quite a lot of people in the shop.

People come and go.

Qin Lang changed his attire deliberately for fear of being recognized by others, but Zhou Sen didn't care, he just needed to put on an old cotton jacket.

No one knew who he was. The point is, if he wasn't Bai Yulan's fiancée and the identity of a police officer, no one would be interested in him, let alone know him.

"Brother Sen, the encounters in the past six months have really changed a lot." Qin Lang looked at Zhou Sen's fair complexion and sighed. If Zhou Sen was a handsome boy, no one would believe it.

"Are you talking about you, from the second young master of the Qin family to the current Manager Qin?" Zhou Sen chuckled.

"Is it so important to be born first?" Qin Lang was distressed. He had been unpopular at home, and he blamed this reason on the fact that he was not the eldest son.

"It's normal for a family to prefer the eldest son. Although you have lost the protection and resources of the Qin family, from now on, everything about you is built by yourself, and in the future, your career will surpass yours. The big brother who inherited the family business, then who will look down on you, when the time comes, they will beg you to recognize your ancestors, it depends on your mood, doesn't it?" Zhou Sen said.

"Brother Sen, I feel much more at ease after hearing what you said." Qin Lang nodded, "But I'm very confused now, I don't know where my future is, and what should I do in the future?"

"Do you want to go back to your old job?"

Qin Lang thought for a while, then shook his head: "Although opening a casino makes money quickly, this kind of business is too wicked. How many people have ruined their homes because of gambling, and their wives and children are separated. No matter how much money, can it alleviate the evil in their hearts?"

"Unexpectedly, you still have such an idea."

"I'm also educated. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the truth." Qin Lang said.

"What can a person live without?"

"Basic food, housing and transportation."

"There are birth, old age, sickness and death. I want to build a hospital. Do you want to take a stake?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile.

"Building a hospital, Brother Sen, are you serious?" Qin Lang was stunned.

"I want to build a hospital that integrates Chinese and Western medicine. Of course, it may not be too large in the beginning." Zhou Sen said.

"You are a policeman, why do you want to run a hospital?"

"You will understand in the future, you can help me find a house first, and if there is a suitable building to transfer, please let me know immediately." Zhou Sen ordered.

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded and twitched a bit, "Brother Sen, Miss Jiang Rou has known you since childhood, right?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Zhou Sen frowned. This guy really has something to do.

"Then she and you..."

"You like Xiaorou?" Zhou Sen is not stupid, so he still doesn't understand. Last night, this guy followed Jiang Rou back to have dinner with shamelessness.

"I, I like it a little bit..." Qin Lang blushed, lowered his head nervously and rubbed his hands together.

"My younger sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is quite assertive. As long as she makes her own choice, I will naturally not stop her. But if she doesn't like it, I will break his hands and feet if she doesn't let go. Throw it into the Songhua River and feed the fish!" Zhou Sen warned Qin Lang without any hesitation.

"Brother Sen, don't worry, I won't, and I'm not that kind of person." Qin Lang said hurriedly.

"If you want to be with her, I have to remind you that you have to make a clean break with your past and have nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I will send you two words, and it will be useless!" Zhou Sen stood up and said, "Today is your invitation. I eat, remember to pay the bill."

After speaking, Zhou Sen clapped his hands and left.

……

In Beisandao Street, Laoliang's home cooking has been open for more than half a year. It is authentic Shandong cuisine and the price is fair. The neighbors appreciate it, and the business is very good.

Although the business is good, it is hard to earn money, all kinds of food and cards, or all kinds of forced donations, and seventy-eight out of ten of the little money earned are exploited.

If you don't give it, hehe, you should prepare to close the store. At that time, all kinds of troubles will come to your door. If you give it, at least you can still have something to eat, and you won't starve to death.

At noon, there were not many people eating, only two or three tables. In addition to the owner, Mr. Liang and his apprentice, the shop also invited two waiters and a kitchen helper.

The helper is a woman in her 30s. As long as it is picking vegetables, washing vegetables and dishes, Lao Liang is in charge, and apprentice Xiao Hai runs the hall in front and settles accounts. Sometimes Lao Liang rests and Xiao Hai is in the back kitchen. The master and apprentice take turns Come.

The two waiters, one master of the stove, and the other pass the dishes, so they can be regarded as half apprentices.

When you are free, there are too many people. When you are busy, one person wishes to be divided into two talents.

"Shopkeeper, eat!"

"Here you are, sir, are you alone, or..." Xiao Hai who was on the counter who was doing the accounting raised his head and hurried forward to say hello.

"I'm alone, do I have a private room? I don't like to be disturbed when I eat." Zhou Sen asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, yes, follow me!" Xiao Hai had never met Zhou Sen before, but his accent was that of a native of Bingcheng, and he was busy leading the way.

"I have eaten so many restaurants in Bingcheng, but there are not many good Shandong dishes. If your dishes are not authentic, I won't pay for them!" Zhou Sen said as he walked.

He came to find "Old Gun", which was the contact person Peshkov arranged for him in Bingcheng.
