above the point of the knife

Chapter 239 Mr. Jincheng
After breakfast, there weren't many people on the street. Compared with Bingcheng, Xinjing, whose population is reduced by half on such a wide street, is really much less popular.

But there are many Japanese people on the street.

At least half of them are accounted for.

As far as the eye could see, there were Japanese people in suits and overalls, Japanese women in kimonos, and children going to school, bustling with each other.

With school bags on their backs, they looked like Japanese, or rich and powerful Manchurian families.

The consumption level here is not low, not much worse than in Bingcheng.

"Do you want to go back to the hotel and sleep for a while before we come out?" Zhou Sen asked after eating the dumplings.

"No, when I came here just now, I saw a park nearby on the sign, why don't we go there for a walk?" Bai Yulan said.

"Okay, let's go." Zhou Sen nodded, and accompanied Yulan to Toudaogou Park (actually it should be called Kodama Park at this time, and I was shocked).

The gate of the park faces east from west, so it is also called West Park.

In front of the gate are two large gray round pillars, which resemble the shape of the word "open", which is completely different from the traditional Chinese archway.

There is also a statue of "Kodama Gentaro" at the entrance, so I won't mention this.

It is really uncomfortable to build such a nondescript building on Chinese land, but at the moment, it can only be tolerated, after all, it cannot be changed at the moment.

Because it is winter, there are not many people who come to the park to play, most of them are nearby people, just looking for a place for walking and exercising.

There are dense trees in the park, but it is hard to imagine the scene of lush greenery and flowers everywhere in spring and summer.

There are two lakes in the north and the south, and two small islands on the South Lake. There are bridges on the shore directly connecting the islands. This is a good place to take pictures in winter.

Therefore, Zhou Sen specially asked Wu En to go back, and took his own camera (that is, the Leica camera of Shelkin) over here.

He prepared several rolls of film just to keep precious photos of this trip.

For this reason, he specially taught Axiang and Wu En the skills of taking pictures. Axiang learned quickly and could focus.

But Wu En is not so spiritual, but at least he has learned it. Although his shots are not as good as Ah Xiang's, at least he can replace one or two.

The park raises a lot of wild animals, but in such a cold day, the animals obviously can't move outside, and they are all kept indoors.

As a result, the park lost a lot of vitality.

However, the park has a greenhouse for cultivating flowers. Although it was run by the Japanese, it does not restrict guests from entering.

The host is very enthusiastic. After all, not many people come to visit this season.

Even cultivated flowers and plants can be sold, but ordinary people definitely cannot play with these precious flowers and plants.

Zhou Sen and the others can only take a look and take a few photos, but they can't take them back. After all, they have to walk nearly [-] kilometers on the way.

"Yulan, don't be sorry, I'll come with you again next year when the spring blossoms." Zhou Sen promised.

"Really?" Bai Yulan's eyes lit up.

"Of course, anyway, it's not far from Bingcheng to Xinjing. We took the car at night and arrived early the next morning." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, then shall we pull the hook?"

"Pull the hook, good!" Zhou Sen chuckled, stretched out his little finger, and pulled it lightly with Bai Yulan.

The lake was frozen over and there was nothing to see.

Coming out of the park, looking at the time, it actually took most of the day. Looking at the time, it was almost time for lunch.

"Are you hungry, let's find a place to eat?" Zhou Sen suggested, now go back to rest, and have to come out to eat again.

Rather than doing this, it is better to eat outside and then go back to rest.

Although Zhou Sen loves food and delicious food, he really doesn't pay much attention to the environment where he eats. Delicious food may not necessarily be made in a place with a beautiful environment.

Authentic food, only in places with the strongest smoke.

Entering an alley, Zhou Sen smelled a scent of sauced bones with his sharp nose, and followed the scent to find it.

A sauce bone shop called "Old Hantou" came into view.

"Brother Sen, it smells so good!" Ah Xiang is also a person who is tireless in food, smelling this fragrance, she immediately salivated.

"Then this one, Yulan, what do you think?" Zhou Sen chuckled and turned to ask Bai Yulan.

"Listen to you." Bai Yulan smiled.

"Boss, four people." Zhou Sen led the way in and greeted, "Give us four catties of sauce bones first, and we'll see if it's not enough."

"Four catties, have you guys finished eating?" The guy looked suspiciously, after all, there were two girls in their party.

"Don't worry, you can eat it."

"Okay."

Four catties of soy sauce bones came up, a big pot full, golden in color, tangy in aroma, extremely alluring.

"Wu En, would you like some sorghum rice?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Uh-huh……"

"Okay, then let's eat." Zhou Sen laughed, called the waiter, and gave Wu En a big bowl of rice.

Wu En grabbed a bone, tore off a large piece of meat from it, rolled his tongue, and swallowed it without even chewing.

"Eat slowly, be careful of scalding, this is just out of the pot." Bai Yulan couldn't help reminding.

Wu En blushed in embarrassment.

"Yulan, you have to hold this sauce bone in your hand, so that it tastes good when you eat it." Zhou Sen picked out a bone with a lot of meat and was suitable for girls to chew on, and handed it to Bai Yulan.

"I'm not a lady of the family. When I was a child, I ate meat with my hands." Bai Yulan pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to take it, and opened her mouth to take a bite naturally.

The marinade enters the mouth, and the meat is overflowing.

After a while, four catties of sauced bones went into the stomachs of the four people. Wu En even mixed rice with marinade and sent in a large bowl of sorghum rice.

It made Ah Xiang roll her eyes, scolding Wu En for being a "loofer", half of the food money on the way was spent on him.

"Ah Xiang, you have enough time. Although Wu En ate a lot, he was the one who carried things, worked the most, and worked the hardest along the way." Bai Yulan couldn't stand it anymore, and directly taught Ah Xiang a lesson.

Ah Xiang pouted, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't refute. She also knew that she had spoken too much, and she shouldn't have said that about Wu En.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, Ah Xiang. Generally, people who can eat are simple-minded and have no evil intentions." Zhou Sen said, and asked Wu En for another bowl of rice and two catties of sauced bones.

After dinner, Zhou Sen sent Bai Yulan back to the hotel to rest. How to arrange for the afternoon depends on how Bai Yulan and the others rest.

But he had to go out.

Saburo Shibuya knew that he was coming to Xinjing. If he didn't visit, it would be impossible, and he would be unhappy.

But before going again, he wanted to make a phone call to inquire about when it would be better to visit.

Shibuya Saburo is busy with work, especially during the New Year's Day holiday, when there are many activities, a call was made to Shibuya Saburo's office in Xinjing.

It was his adjutant Ono who answered the phone.

Hearing Zhou Sen's voice, Ono was also overjoyed, and quickly asked him if he had arrived in Xinjing, and if he needed to make arrangements.

He can arrange to live in the guest house of the Xinjing (Capital) Police Department, and it is free.

Zhou Sen immediately declined. It doesn't matter to him alone, but it is obviously inappropriate to take his family with him, and if he lives in the guest house of the police department, he will not be so free in his actions. He is here for travel, not on a business trip. .

Ono told him that Saburo Shibuya is very busy. Apart from his job, he still has a lot of meetings to attend and various activities to attend. Almost every day his schedule is full. Can he spare time to meet him? We still have to wait for his report I didn't know until later.

Of course Zhou Sen knew that Saburo Shibuya was very busy. In fact, he just let him know that his etiquette was up, and whether he saw him or not was not that important.

It doesn't matter if you don't see yourself.

The purpose is to prevent Saburo Shibuya from misunderstanding him and having bad thoughts.

Zhou Sen gave Ono a call and asked him to call back after playing. It was impossible for him to guard the phone, and it was not his phone.

Ono wrote down the phone number, but he couldn't report it immediately, so he had to find an opportunity to report the situation to Saburo Shibuya.

Zhou Sen then went out, got on a running tram, went all the way south, passed by Datong Square, got off at an intersection called Yihe Road, and walked westward on foot.

This is the center of the Puppet Manchukuo government. The pedestrians on the street are basically well-dressed and well-dressed.

Zhou Sen walked all the way and came to the door of a store called "Osaka Store". He stopped for a while to observe.

Then he lifted his foot and walked in.

When a Japanese woman in kimono saw Zhou Sen coming in, she hurriedly took small steps, stepped forward and bowed: "Hi sir, may I help you in the future?"

Zhou Sen nodded slightly, and pointed to the telephone on the counter: "I want two packs of cigarettes, Asahi brand. Also, can I make a phone call?"

"Okay, but it's your payment, sir."

"Of course." Zhou Sen replied in Japanese, walked over, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

beep...beep...

It wasn't until the fourth phone rang that someone picked up the phone: "Hello."

"I'm Taro Obuchi from Xinghui Records, may I ask Mr. Jincheng if you are free today?"

"Yes, what's the matter with you?"

"The Blackstone record you wanted has arrived, when do you think you can come and pick it up?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Okay, I'll go to your company in an hour." The person on the other end of the phone hung up after finishing speaking.

Half an hour later, Zhou Sen saw Mr. Jincheng on the phone on the bench in Suncheon Park. His identity was a senior employee of the Puppet Manchukuo Communications Department.

Zhou Sen revealed the emerald ring on his hand, which was a token representing Anthony's identity. The Japanese didn't know it, and thought it was related to the "Troy" project.

"Are you Vasim?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that it was you who inherited his position." Jin Cheng wrapped himself very tightly, except for his eyes, he couldn't see anything else, probably because of safety considerations.

"I have no choice."

"What is the mission?"

"After the Haraha River conflict, the key point of Japan's domestic policy changes is whether they will continue to implement the 'Northward Advance' plan." Zhou Sen said.

"Is it for negotiating to gain more initiative?"

"you could say so."

"I see. If I have relevant information, how can I contact you?" Mr. Jin Cheng asked.

"Send a telegram to the people above, and I will send someone to get the information." Zhou Sen handed him a note from his pocket.

Mr. Jincheng glanced at it, rubbed it in his hand, then threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it directly.

"You don't have to go to Lao Jin's side, I'll tell him, so you don't have to take risks."

"No, I have to see Lao Jin. He is a traffic officer in the Nanman area. In the past, all your contacts were made through him." Zhou Sen said.

"He's sick, even if you can contact him, he can't see you. If you believe me, I'll tell him about you succeeding Anthony," Mr. Jincheng said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Sen suddenly became vigilant.
