Chapter 227 Uncle Suzuki
"Section Chief Akiyama, I want to ask for a leave?"

"Ask for leave, what are you asking for leave?" Akiyama nosuke raised his head and asked Zhou Sen very puzzled.

"I want to go to No. 3 Yiyuan Road in the afternoon." Zhou Sen explained the reason for his leave.

"No. 3 Yiyuan Road, where are you going and what are you doing..." Akiyama Nosuke suddenly realized, what is No. 3 Yiyuan Road, they are used to calling it "Ha organ". (I didn't find the abbreviation and code name, let's use this name for the time being, if someone with great power knows it, please let me know.)
"Subordinates have dual identities. You know this Section Chief Akiyama. The Security Bureau's 'external transfer review' for me has also ended. I have to go there. Whether it is abandoned or retained, give me a clear answer. Say it, don't you?"

"Here, didn't Mr. Shibuya tell you before he left?"

"You know that, if Mr. Shibuya doesn't say anything, I don't want to ask more questions." Zhou Sen explained with a chuckle.

"Okay, I approved this fake, but when you get there, do you know who to turn to?" Akiyama asked.

"I don't know, I don't know anyone over there, but as long as I go, there should be someone to welcome me?" Zhou Sen said.

"In this way, you will definitely not be able to see General Qin Yan, and he may not have time to see you, but the deputy chief Suzuki who is in charge of specific affairs can try to ask to see you, and I will give you a note, so that you will be spared They made things difficult," Akiyama said.

"Then thank you, Section Chief Akiyama."

"Thank you, you and I are on the same boat." Akiyama Nosuke said, "But Mr. Shibuya is at a low ebb right now, we should keep a low profile and don't cause trouble for him."

"Understood." Zhou Sen could hear the meaning in Akiyama's words. Shibuya Saburo's status has not yet been determined, and the use and trade-offs of him are still in the game.

But as far as Zhou Sen knows, Saburo Shibuya will not be idle, and he will be transferred to Xinjing to serve as the chief of the police department. In name, it is a flat transfer, but his powers are much greater. more.

But Zhou Sen knows better that Saburo Shibuya is likely to become the leader of the military and police Xiante in Manchukuo. Such a big "big tree" will bring him a lot of help, and of course, it will also give him a lot of help. People misunderstood him more and more.

With Akiyama's note.

Zhou Sen simply didn't eat in the cafeteria of the Police Department at noon, so he called Anna out and invited her to have a sumptuous western meal in the south restaurant of the Madier Hotel.

What should be thanked and expressed should not be stingy. Anna, a woman, will still be of value in the future.

"Anna, our ice city has no foundation. I only have Wu En under my command. He has no other strengths except Kongwu's strength. You and I are not Japanese. If you want to get along under the Japanese, you have to stand shoulder to shoulder. , help each other." Zhou Sen wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, put down the napkin and said.

"I know that Shibuya-sensei is not here, and the hunters are not around. It is difficult for the two of us to fight against these people. Shibuya-sensei should hope that we will keep a low profile for the time being and not cause trouble for him." Anna said.

"We have to have our own team, otherwise, we will be marginalized or even sacrificed by them in the future."

"Team, you mean, we develop our own people?" Anna was surprised.

"Yes, there must be at least a few people who can be used, otherwise, with the two of us, how can we keep what Shibuya left behind?" Zhou Sen said.

"This is not an easy task. In our line of work, the most difficult thing is to trust people." Anna said.

"What we want is someone who can help us with things, not someone who entrusts us with secrets, understand." Zhou Sen said.

"Then this is easy to handle. As long as you have money, you can find as many people as you want to do things for you." Anna said.

"money is not a problem."

"That would be much easier." Anna smiled. She doesn't have such big ambitions, but it's for self-protection, isn't it?
……

After ordering Wu En to park the car a little further away, Zhou Sen and Anna got off the car and walked towards the gate of No. 3 Yiyuan Road.

After showing the certificate.

The Japanese soldiers at the door saluted them, opened the door and let them in.

Entering the gate, there is a two-story European-style building, with formulas in the north and south, and Japanese soldiers patrolling with wolf dogs in the yard.

The security is heavily guarded, full of a sense of chill and iron blood.

No wonder the people in Bingcheng turned pale when they talked about this place, and regarded it as a tiger's lair and a wolf's den.

It was Zhou Sen's first time here, and he was not familiar with the layout inside. Fortunately, Anna had been here before, and she had already given him a brief introduction to the situation inside.

Of course, you are not allowed to wander around here, otherwise you will be charged with "peeping secrets" and charged directly, and there will be no place to reason.

Zhou Sen had a note from Akiyamanosuke in his hand, so he naturally asked to see the deputy head of the department, Yoshio Suzuki.

Suzuki Yoshio didn't say they could see each other. They were arranged to wait in a small meeting room, and an orderly served hot tea.

This wait is more than half an hour.

Zhou Sen wasn't impatient at all, he was already mentally prepared, even if he didn't see anyone today, he wouldn't be surprised.

But Anna couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up, walked back and forth in front of Zhou Sen twice, and then sat back down.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw a Japanese second lieutenant come in: "Deputy Director Suzuki asked Mr. Zhou Sen to go to his office."

Zhou Sen hastily bent slightly and agreed.

"What about me?" Anna asked.

"Miss Anna, please wait a moment." The second lieutenant said politely.

Zhou Sen gave Anna a look of "Be safe and don't be impatient", and followed the Japanese second lieutenant to Suzuki Yoshio's office.

After knocking on the door and getting permission from the people inside, the second lieutenant of the Japanese Army opened the door and invited Zhou Sen to enter, but he himself stood at the door without moving a muscle.

Zhou Sen tidied up his clothes a little, and then walked in with his head held high. Behind him, the door of the office was gently closed.

Japanese military agencies have always had low-level deputies, that is to say, if the chief officer is a major general, then his deputy may only be a major, with a difference of several ranks.

A deputy is really an auxiliary job, equivalent to a staff officer, or doing odd jobs.

But as soon as Zhou Sen came in, he saw a Japanese army commander who looked about 40 years old, and he was a major general at the top.

Suzuki Yoshio, the deputy of the agency, should have a certain amount of real power, and Qin Yansaburo also serves as the head of the second section of the Kwantung Army Staff Department. His job is far more than that of a Bingcheng spy agency chief.

Suzuki Yoshio should be the actual person in charge of the Bingcheng secret service. Of course, Qin Yansaburo is still in power.

The square face has no beard under the jaw, and the facial features look softer, without the discrete and uncoordinated sense of the Japanese.

Just from the appearance, Zhou Sen had the illusion that this was his compatriot.

"Zhou Sen-kun, I've heard your name a long time ago, please sit down." Suzuki Yoshio was the first to get up and walk over, and greeted Zhou Sen.

"Hello Deputy Director Suzuki!" Zhou Sen hurriedly put his legs together and bowed.

"Please sit down." Suzuki Yoshio asked Zhou Sen to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, and made tea himself.

"Zhou Senjun, try the tea I made!"

With a "flattered" expression, Zhou Sen quickly reached out to take the teacup in Suzuki Yoshio's hand, took a sip of the tea soup, and then put it down, "It leaves a fragrance in the mouth, good tea."

"Haha..." Suzuki Yoshio laughed, "Mr. Zhou Sen is free, so you can come to my place for tea more in the future."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Suzuki..." Zhou Sen hurriedly got up to express his thanks again, but he was also at a loss. Suzuki Yoshio's friendly attitude towards him made him feel unbelievable, as if he had fallen into a "cloud".

"Zhou Senjun, why did you come to see me today?" Suzuki Yoshio finally switched the channel to the topic.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Director Suzuki, I am also a staff member of the Bingcheng Secret Service. I belong to the intelligence team. I was originally under the direct leadership of Chief Shibuya of the Bingcheng Police Department. After Shibuya Chief was transferred to Xinjing, I didn't know that I was still in charge. I am no longer a subordinate of the Bingcheng Secret Service. If so, which department do I belong to, and who should I be responsible to? If not, please give me an accurate written answer, so that I can put myself in the right position and get it right. Know who you are."

"We also discussed about your identity, but at that time your 'examination review' had not yet ended, so it was put on hold for now, but now that your 'review' has passed, your identity should be restored. Giving you more power," Suzuki said.

"Thank you, Suzuki-sama!"

"Zhou Sen-kun, do you like smoking?" Suzuki Yoshio suddenly asked.

Zhou Sen frowned, what happened to Suzuki Takeo, he had a different attitude towards him from the beginning, and now he asked another inexplicable question.

"Occasionally."

"Oh, I have Hadman and Three Forts here, which one do you like?" Suzuki Yoshio continued to ask.

"These two kinds of smoke and ice are hard to buy. I usually smoke Shuangfu and Aurora." Zhou Sen replied cautiously.

"Hehe, try my cigarettes." Suzuki Yoshio chuckled, got up to get a pack of cigarettes, walked over, tore open the tin seal, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen hastily reached out his hands to pick it up, then glanced at the matches on the tea table, quickly reached out to take it, took out one, rubbed it, first lit it for Suzuki Yoshio, and then lit it for himself.

"How is it, how does it taste?" Suzuki Yoshio asked with a smile.

"The taste is much softer than Shuangfu, and the taste is not bad." Zhou Sen said, if you count your previous life, you can be considered an old smoker, and you can naturally recognize the taste of different brands of cigarettes.

"I knew Zhou Senjun that you like it as soon as I guessed it. In this way, I just have two here, and you take them back to smoke." Suzuki Yoshio rushed to the cabinet in the office and took out two Hardman cigarettes, and handed them to Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen was stunned. It was always subordinates who gave gifts to their superiors. How could a superior give gifts to his subordinates? The other party was Japanese.

"Take it, but don't let outsiders know, otherwise, I won't be able to keep these few cigarettes I managed to get." Suzuki Yoshio slammed Zhou Sen and said.

"Your Excellency Suzuki, this is the first time this subordinate is meeting you. Why did you give me something?" Zhou Sen asked directly.

"My father and I are friends." Suzuki Yoshio smiled slightly.

"Ah..." Zhou Sen was stunned. "Father" was his father, but his biological father didn't know it himself, so only his adoptive father, Anthony, was the only one.

The deputy director of the Bingcheng Secret Service is friends with Father Anthony, which sounds a bit unreal no matter how it sounds.

"So, according to seniority, you should call me Uncle Suzuki." Yoshio Suzuki couldn't help laughing seeing Zhou Sen's stunned expression.
