above the point of the knife

Chapter 255 Anonymous Reporting
A week passed in a flash.

Zhou Sen commutes to and from get off work every day, and his life is very regular. There are not many police officers like him in the entire police department.

Seeing the end of the year, all departments are busy, especially the secret service department, which is arresting people every day, and the detention center is overcrowded.

Sometimes Zhou Sen had to be arrested to help with the interrogation, but he was not on night shift and would go home after get off work.

On this day, Zhou Sen was looking at a case where someone reported "anti-Manchurian" remarks. In fact, it was just a few complaints about a business, which was heard by the neighbors who did not deal with him. It was reported to the Ideological Unit of the Secret Service Division.

The guy who reported this is also dark enough. He has ignored the friendship of neighbors for many years. This is to kill people.

It's normal for ordinary people to complain and complain, but this kind of reporting is the worst.

Anyone with a little conscience hates this kind of person.

But, there is no way, there will be many such people in this world in the future, they are just so indifferent.

However, all these types of reports are witnessed by witnesses, so as long as the secret service department receives them, they will come directly to arrest people.

As long as people are arrested, there is no backer, no background, and if there is no money to clear it, then it will definitely be handled as an iron case.

Even if Zhou Sen wants to handle it impartially, it's useless, unless you are against the whole system.

Of course, if it has something to do with me, in a word, it's not a big problem. After all, everyone is under the same roof. If you make convenience for others, it is also for yourself.

There are too many cases like this. Zhou Senming knows that these people have been wronged, and he can't do anything. It's not that he can't, but how many can he save?

The whole system is like this. As long as the Japanese are around, even if he becomes the chief of police, he will not be able to change the status quo.

There is only one solution, drive away the Japanese invaders, and let the people be the masters of their own affairs.

Zhou Sen was reading the case file when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

A familiar figure opened the door and walked in. When Zhou Sen raised his head, it turned out to be Gu Lao Liu whom he hadn't seen for many days.

"Lao Liu, why are you here?" Zhou Sen was surprised, and quickly closed the file in his hand.The cases handled by the Special Affairs Division of the Police Department cannot be freely disclosed to outsiders. Even though Gu Lao Liu is also a policeman, he belongs to the Nangang Police Station.

"I'm not passing by the police station, I'm here to see you." Gu Lao Liu grinned.

"You are so free, you still have time to come and see me, tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Sen has worked with him for four years, and he doesn't know who Gu Lao Liu is.

"Someone in the jurisdiction reported that there is a bookstore called Yiguzhai that people often gather in it, which seems to be an illegal assembly." Gu Laoliu said.

"Yiguzhai, illegal assembly, why did you ask me for this?" Zhou Sen asked very puzzled.

"This report is anonymous. The higher-ups asked us to understand the situation before reporting. Even if we want to arrest people, we will also get the stolen goods. Otherwise, it is not easy to arrest people just because of the wind and shadow." Gu Laoliu said .

"Then have you found relevant evidence?"

"Ye San'er and I visited. There are indeed some young people who often go to that bookstore and stay for several hours, but I don't know what they do specifically." Gu Laoliu said.

"Bookstores are originally places where cultural people gather. It is normal for like-minded people to discuss literature and poetry together. Under such circumstances, how many people dare to discuss politics in public?" Zhou Sen asked road.

"I think so too. If it's really an illegal assembly, why not report it with your real name? There is something wrong with this anonymous report. It's probably because someone deliberately made a bad move." Gu Lao Liu nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, Ms. Jiang has also been to this bookstore called Yiguzhai."

"Jiang Rou?" Zhou Sen was slightly startled. How could this "Yiguzhai" have something to do with Jiang Rou? Could it be a traffic station for the CCP's Bingcheng underground party?

Using a bookstore as a cover as a contact point is one of the methods commonly used by underground parties.

"Yes, it's Ms. Jiang, but Ms. Jiang entrusted her boss to look for opera records. The boss, Qiao Sanlang, has a good relationship with some celebrities in the cultural circle of Bingcheng, and there are quite a few channels. This is probably the reason." Gu Laoliu explained.

"Don't rush to report this matter, I'll talk about it after I understand the situation." Zhou Sen instructed Gu Laoliu.

"In addition, Miss Su has been to Yiguzhai twice since she came back."

"Su Wenqing's daughter, Su Yun?" Zhou Sen frowned. Su Yun was a frequent visitor to Yiguzhai in the past. When she came back, there was nothing unusual about visiting Yiguzhai again.

But Su Yun is married now, is she still addicted to those petty bourgeois romance novels and cannot extricate herself?
"Okay, I see." Zhou Sen said, "Are you free recently, call Ye San'er, let's meet sometime?"

"Okay, you are busy with work, we are available at any time, you set the time?"

"Okay, let's make a reservation at the shabu-shabu restaurant we used to eat at noon tomorrow." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, let's talk about it then."

"Do not worry."

……

After sending Gu Lao Liu away, Zhou Sen's face slowly turned cold. There must be something wrong with this "Yi Gu Zhai".

When Su Yun went to Yiguzhai, he might really be borrowing books.

But Jiang Rou is different from Su Yun, even if she wants to search for opera records, she doesn't necessarily have to go to "Yi Gu Zhai".

You should know that the main business of "Yiguzhai" is not vinyl records.

It seems that I have to talk to Jiang Rou about this matter, she can't go on with "Yi Gu Zhai".

This will be very dangerous. If someone reports anonymously today, it may be reported by real name tomorrow. Moreover, this time the investigation is in the hands of Gu Lao Liu. With Gu Lao Liu's cautious character, it was found that Jiang Rou had been to Yiguzhai , Informed himself of this situation first.

What if it's someone else, it's not so lucky.

It is also because "Yiguzhai" is Zhou Sen's original patrol area in Nangang Police Station, and now it is under the management of Gu Laoliu.

Otherwise, there would not be such a coincidence.

……

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I heard from your elder sister Yulan that you have been busy with sealing the performance these few days. You leave early and return late, and you don't eat on time. No, let me bring you food. By the way, I will supervise you. Eat." Zhou Sen clapped the food box in his hand and said.

"Brother and Sister Lan still love me." Jiang Rou said happily.

As soon as Zhou Sen came in, he saw that there were already three dishes and one soup on the table. It was obvious that someone had already arrived first.

Needless to say, it must be that kid Qin Lang.

It's no secret that this kid pursued Jiang Rou, but Jiang Rou didn't accept it, nor did she explicitly reject it.

After all, Qin Lang used to be like that. Of course, as far as Jiang Rou is concerned, she has nothing to dislike.

I figured it out myself, and it's about the same. Singing operas and making money are both low-level professions.

This is superficial.

But Zhou Sen knew that if Qin Lang's identity did not change in the future, he would definitely not be worthy of Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou's status as an underground party member, coupled with her achievements in art, may not have much room for improvement in politics, but in art, she may become a hall-level figure in the future.

Qin Lang was born as a member of a gang, unless he can make special changes in the past ten years, otherwise, the two of them will not be able to get together.

It would be possible if their identities were reversed, just like him and Bai Yulan.

"Qin Lang ordered?"

"Well, I told him not to order, but if he doesn't listen, I can't help it." Jiang Judao, "I can't throw the food out for him, it's too hurtful."

"Xiao Rou, I have no objection to your dating. Even if you find a boyfriend to marry now, I am willing, but this person is Qin Lang, you have to think carefully." Zhou Sen said seriously.

"Brother, you don't want me to be with him?" Jiang Ju said.

"Who are you with? This is your freedom. Brother will not interfere with your freedom, but brother also has this obligation to remind you that you must think clearly about everything you do. Qin Lang's past identity and your identity , This is not a child's play house, play if you want to play, and don't play if you don't want to play, it is a matter of a lifetime."

"Brother, I actually rejected him."

"Why did you refuse?"

"I said that I don't want to think about personal emotional matters now, I just want to do a good job of the 'Lan Rou' drama club, and we can talk about getting married in a few years." Jiang Rou explained.

"You didn't tell him clearly that you didn't like him, you weren't interested, otherwise, how could this be called rejection?" Zhou Sen said, no wonder, Jiang Rou has never been in a relationship and has no experience, which is normal.

"Brother, what should I say?"

"If you don't want to have any development with him at all, then tell him that you have no feelings for him, now and in the future, please stop pestering you, otherwise it will be difficult to be friends." Zhou Sen said.

"Brother, I..."

"Do you still have a little feeling for him?"

"I can't say, maybe a little bit, I'm used to it." Jiang Rou said.

"Aside from his status as the second son of the Qin family, he does have a lot of advantages, such as loyalty, commitment, agility and resilience. He doesn't seem like a person who starts to mess up and ends up giving up. He is a good person who can be entrusted to for life. But you have to think clearly, your marriage is not your decision, you two can break through the barriers and get together, in the end, you may have to pay a greater price than you imagined." Zhou Sen reminded.

"Brother, I don't understand why you say that, can't we win him over?"

"Did you already have such an idea?" Zhou Sen was taken aback. Jiang Rou actually wanted to develop Qin Lang into the organization. He couldn't join because of his status.

If it wasn't for his resolute refusal to join the Soviet Communist Party, he would have been a member of the Communist Party long ago, but joining the Communist Party would be more troublesome. It's not that he can't, but the current conditions don't allow it.

Mainly for the sake of confidentiality, Zhou Sen cannot directly join the CCP. Once records and traces are left in the underground party organization in Bingcheng, it will not be a good thing for his hidden identity.

To be on the safe side, he is not suitable to join now, but if he stays in Khabarovsk, he may already be by now.

There is no way, he has to come back, if he misses, he misses it.
