Chapter 236 Wedding Trip
Zhou Sen and the others booked the No. 4 car, next to the dining car.

Room for two people.

soft sleeper.

This is the best car on this train. After checking the tickets and getting on the train, Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan found their room numbers with salutes. They were in No. 5, and Wu En and A Xiang were in No. 6.

There are also No. 7 and No. 8 behind, and there are naturally people, and only the rich and powerful can afford to travel.

Ordinary people usually take hard seats in third-class carriages, and the fare is several times cheaper.

After the luggage was put down, Zhou Sen took off his hat and scarf, took off his coat, put it away for Bai Yulan, and hung it up.

There is a heater in the car, which is much warmer than outside.

Bai Yulan also traveled to many places in her early years, but since she married Lao Ma, she has never had the chance to leave Bingcheng for so many years.

This time, it was a surprise for her to have the opportunity to go out.

Although not as excited as a little girl like Ah Xiang, I was still very eager to try it, but unfortunately it was not a spring outing, otherwise I could see more beautiful scenery.

But traveling in winter is also very interesting.

"Xiao Mori, have you read today's newspaper?" Bai Yulan sat down and asked in a low voice.

"I see." Zhou Sen smiled slightly and nodded. Seeing Bai Yulan's round curve made his heart feel hot. He understood what Bai Yulan was talking about.

"I didn't expect them..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, this is not your home, be careful that the walls have ears." Zhou Sen reminded.

Bai Yulan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded embarrassingly: "Am I a bit carried away?"

"For a while, let's go to the dining car for dinner." Zhou Sen suggested.

"Who will see the luggage?"

"Let Wu En come over and bring him something to eat when the time comes." Zhou Sen said slowly, bringing Wu En and Ah Xiang along, that's why.

Otherwise, isn't the world of two people fragrant?

The train started slowly and headed south. According to the speed of the train, the train arrived in Xinjing almost in the early morning of January 1940, 1.

They are celebrating New Year's Eve on the train.

This is also a very meaningful thing.

The basic Western food and Japanese food served on the train, Japanese food did not meet the appetite of Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan, so they ordered Western food, steak, macaroni, borscht and table wine!

Most of the people who eat in the dining car are the guests in the soft sleeper compartment. When getting on the car, several people even had a photo with Zhou Sen.

We are all civilized people, and when we eat in restaurants, we talk in low voices and talk about civilized things. Of course, there are many topics that are not suitable for listening to.

It was the first time for the two of them to dine alone like this. Zhou Sen served Bai Yulan very carefully.

He whispered softly and smiled.

A beautiful woman like Bai Yulan will always be approached by someone. Of course, if she already has a male companion, it will be provocative.

When you go out, you will encounter all kinds of things, and at the same time you will meet all kinds of people.

It was a very warm dinner, but it was disturbed by a Japanese who looked like a short winter melon. Zhou Sen was naturally very angry.

When Zhou Sen spoke Japanese, the short winter melon was so frightened that he scrambled away from the dining car.

This guy misunderstood that he was Japanese. If he was Manchurian, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to solve it today.

Bai Yulan has also seen Zhou Sen's fierce and domineering side. It seems that her man's gentleness is also suitable for him.
After eating, he returned to the carriage with the dinner for Ah Xiang and Wu En.

"Xiao Mori, the way you scolded that guy just now was scary." Bai Yulan didn't look frightened.

"No way, I can only do this to avoid even bigger troubles." Zhou Sen lost his voice as he spoke, "Yulan, this long night..."

Bai Yulan blushed when Zhou Sen stared at her: "Xiao Sen, this is in the car, don't mess around?"

"Where do you want to go, am I the kind of person who can't choose what to eat?" Zhou Sen smiled, stood up, walked to Bai Yulan and sat down, and put his arms around her.

"Don't make trouble, this bed is so small, you can sleep on your other side!" Feeling the heat from the man, Bai Yulan couldn't help but spit

"It doesn't matter if you squeeze, I can sleep with you in my arms." Zhou Sen said, no wonder people say that when the wife and children are hot on the kang, it is indeed a pleasant thing to hug the wife's fragrant body to sleep.

"Excuse..." This guy is really strong, Bai Yulan has no choice but to let him go.

The train is speeding over the mine field, the mountains are flying in the distance, the world is pitch black, the sound insulation effect of the carriage is very good, and the sound of the cold wind outside can hardly be heard.

Every time you arrive at a station, you must stop to get on and off passengers, usually ranging from five to 10 minutes. It runs at night, and the train speed is actually not fast, only about [-] to [-] kilometers per hour.

Bai Yulan had already fallen asleep in her arms, the woman's cheeks were flushed, and her breath carried a hint of sweetness.

This is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Zhou Sen stretched out his hand to stroke his temple hair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Early five in the morning.

When they arrived at Xinjing Station, they had to get off the train first, and then change to an international track train to go to Fengtian, because with Xinjing as the boundary, the north belongs to the Middle East Railway, which uses the Russian-made wide gauge, while the south belongs to the Japanese-made railway. The South Manchuria Railway uses international rails.

Zhou Sen and the others bought a ticket to Fengtian. After arriving at the Xinjing station, they can directly transfer to the same train.

The departure station of the train is at the new Jingdong Station, which is almost seamlessly connected.

So, they quickly boarded another train with the same arrangement of carriages, and they would need to travel another eight hours or so to reach Fengtian.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the train stopped at Fengtian Station. Zhou Sen and his party got off the train. It was almost a day's journey. Everyone was tired. Bai Yulan had obviously been to Fengtian.

Although Fengtian has changed a lot, the basic streets have not changed.

This can be seen from Bai Yulan's familiar movements of walking outside the station after she got off the station.

"My mother's hometown is Fengtian." Bai Yulan took the initiative to explain why she was so familiar with Fengtian, and this was the reason.

This is not difficult to explain.

"Is there anyone else at the mother-in-law's house?"

"I don't know. I haven't been here for more than ten years. I just remember that my mother had a brother. He was not a few years older than me at that time. I don't know what happened now." Bai Yulan said, "At that time, Grandpa and grandma are still there."

"Don't you have any correspondence?"

"In the first two years, all the letters I sent were returned, and the reply from the post office was that there was no such person." Bai Yulan said, "I also wanted to come and look for it, but I never had the opportunity."

"Do you have a name and a photo?"

"My mother's surname is Han, and my little uncle seems to be called Han Dongfei." Bai Yulan said, "It's been more than ten years, and I don't know if I changed my name."

"As long as you have a first and last name, it's easy to find. This time, I'll accompany you to find it. We finally came here." Zhou Sen said, "Where does he live?"

"Xiaoshizi Street Hutong near Xiaoximen." Bai Yulan said.

"Let's go, first find a hotel to stay in." Zhou Sen nodded. He had a name, a surname, and an address, which made it much easier to find.

In Fengtian's Yamato Hotel, only the rank of major and above in the Japanese army can stay. Even if Zhou Sen is qualified, he will not stay.

What are you doing in the devil's den if you have nothing to do?
Since they were going to Xiaoximen to find someone, Zhou Sen and the others found a hotel near Xiaoximen that seemed to have a good environment and stayed.

He shared a room with Bai Yulan, and Ah Xiang and Wu En shared a room. This is not on a train, so you can pay attention to it.

"Wu En, go to the car dealership to rent a car, it will take about two days." After settling down, Zhou Sen instructed Wu En.

After all, Wu En is also a policeman, this matter is not a problem for him.

"When Wu En rents the car back, I will accompany you to Zhaoling tomorrow, and then go to Xiaoshizi Street Hutong in Xiaoximen. In the evening, we will go to Minghuchun for dinner."

"Minghuchun is a famous restaurant in Fengtian. It is said that reservations are required to eat?" Bai Yulan said.

"That's for private rooms. Individual travelers like us, as long as we have a seat." Zhou Sen smiled, "It doesn't matter if you can't eat. There are many delicious restaurants in Fengtian, so let's go to another place."

"it is good."

"After taking the train for a day and night, I'll ask someone to boil some hot water for you, take a bath, and take a good rest."

"Okay, but I want you to help me..." Bai Yulan, who has a deep sense of taste, winked like silk.

……

Zhaoling was in the north of the city. Zhou Sen and the others got up a little later, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when they drove there.

Covered in silver, Zhaoling Mausoleum is actually not much to see, but Bai Yulan said that the ancestors of the Bai family once participated in supervising the construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum, so she just wanted to come and have a look.

I took pictures and left shadows.

Drive to Xiaoximen Xiaoshizi Street Hutong.

In Bai Yulan's impression, this place has not changed much, but more than half of the people living here have changed, mentioning the Han family.

That is, a few old people who have lived here for a long time have some impressions, saying that their family moved away seven or eight years ago, and I heard that they went to Guannei.

Upon questioning, no one knew which city in the pass to move to. When the Han family moved out, they left quietly without alarming outsiders.

Seven or eight years ago, before and after the "September [-]th" that shocked China and the world, the Han family moved away at this time. Could this have something to do with it?

The clues were interrupted, and Bai Yulan felt a little emotionally lost, but at least she knew that she still had a little uncle in the world, at least at present, this person is still alive.

Minghuchun is a restaurant specializing in Shandong cuisine, especially good at making soup. The four of Zhou Sen came earlier and chose a better seat in the hall.

The delicious food temporarily dilutes Bai Yulan's longing for her relatives. After a full meal, she returns to the hotel to rest.

The next day, Zhou Sen asked Wu En to accompany Bai Yulan and Ah Xiang to go shopping on the grounds that he was looking for the owner of the hotel where Anthony's father had stayed.

On the other hand, he quietly went to the leased area of ​​the Manchuria Railway, and joined forces with a member of "Leo" who was lurking in the Fengtian Branch of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department.

After he fully takes over the "Leo" team, he needs to understand and confirm the personnel on the list,

This work must be done by him alone. Of course, it is very dangerous, but the "Leo" team has been safe except for Shelkin who was exposed, and Shelkin does not know the situation of the "Leo" team. Papa Anthony's assistant.

They met at a Japanese izakaya.

Zhou Sen handed him an envelope. After reading the contents of the letter, the other party took out a key and handed it to Zhou Sen.

There is a piece of wood hanging on the key, which is the key of a private safe deposit box of a high-end leisure hot spring club.

Zhou Sen went in easily, and got the intelligence materials that the other party put inside. He browsed them roughly, mainly about the political and economic situation in Fengtian area, not much about military affairs, mainly indicating the production situation of the arsenal. Obviously, these materials are helpful to understand the war potential of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria.

Especially once a full-scale war breaks out, how much production capacity Fengtian's arsenal can have and how much support it can provide to the Kwantung Army.
