above the point of the knife

Chapter 28 Uncle Ivan (please collect, ask for a monthly pass!)
"Is Shelkin's body still in the police mortuary?"

"It should still be there. The case has not been solved. According to the rules, funerals and burials are not allowed..." Gu Laoliu said uncertainly.

"Find a time, come with me, and let's take a look at Sheerkin's wound." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, boss, then I'll go first."

……

Zhou Sen waited for more than half an hour, but Ye San'er did not come back, and he didn't know what the boy was doing.

Could it be that he was dragged by his cronies to play for money on the way, this kid is good at everything else, but his love of "playing with money" cannot be changed.

Once this person is infected with "gambling", he will be useless. If there is no one available, he really does not want to use someone like Ye San'er.

Regarding Sherkin's case, depending on Akiyama's intentions, he did not limit his time to solve the case. It is estimated that he also used this case to test himself.

See if I can inherit the "inheritance" left by Anthony's father, in case I am an idiot who can't afford it...

This is a good opportunity to get rid of the current embarrassing position.

If he is a piece of mud that can't support the wall, wouldn't that disappoint Akiyamanosuke? Zhou Sen is only interested in the past of Anthony's father. As for his relationship with the Russian Patriotic League, he has no interest at all. No, let alone want to have anything to do with it.

You can still procrastinate, don't worry...

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Irina should be in a hurry to stay home if she didn't go back. Don't wait, Zhou Sen tidied up, put on a coat, a scarf, a hat, and gloves.

Close the door and go home.

The street lights on the street have been turned on, and there are still some pedestrians on the road. After all, the end of the year is approaching, and some people have a relatively large flow of people. You can still see a lot of people in the bustling streets, and there are many Belarusians in woolen coats, as well as young people. Girl, if he has time, he really wants to go to the ice of Songhua River to experience the feeling of sliding on the ice several feet thick.

Passing by Yuelai Hotel.

Zhou Sen remembered that for the past two days, he arranged for Wu En to live here, firstly, to avoid the pain of going home, and secondly, to protect Susanna's safety.

"Inspector Zhou..." The boss came out of the counter to say hello when he saw Zhou Sen. These days, people wearing black dog skin should not be provoked.

"Let me come over and see, which room does Officer Wuen live in?"

"Upstairs 203, shall I take you there?" The boss said enthusiastically and humbly.

"No, I'll go up by myself." Zhou Sen waved his hand, turned around and went up the stairs by himself, walking up the stairs under the dim lights.

Find room 203, knock on the door, Wu En opened the door, Zhou Sen walked in and saw that Wu En was eating just now.

Mixed rice (it was not until 40 that Chinese people were not allowed to eat white rice directly. There is no ban yet, but the grain is rationed and sold), soaked in boiling water, and pickled vegetables.

"Wuen, do you eat this at night?" Zhou Sen was a little surprised. He knew that during the Puppet Manchukuo period, the Japanese established a grain monopoly system in order to plunder food resources, stipulating that grain crops such as rice, corn, and sorghum must be sold at low prices. It is sold to a grain company run by the Japanese and monopolized.

Our own fire mill and rice mill also import raw materials from the Japanese, process and produce them and ship them to designated grain sales stores. What we earn is only processing fees, and we have to face all kinds of apportionments from the Japanese. It doesn’t matter. No money at all.

Wu En is also a policeman after all, so even if he can't eat white rice, he should be fine with a sip of hot soup.

"Young master, this is not bad, at least it can fill you up." Wu En embarrassedly scratched his head.

Zhou Sen also doesn't know when the Japanese will implement the food rationing system, but there is still plenty of rice and white flour in the market, as long as you have money, you can buy them, but these resource channels are in the hands of the Japanese.

"Just eat this, can you stand it all night?"

"Uh..." Wu En's face was embarrassed. Don't look at this big bowl of miscellaneous rice, you can still get full after eating it, but you will be hungry if you don't sleep until midnight.

"Didn't I ask Ye San'er to tell you that you live here, and eating is considered a business trip, so you don't need to save money for me." Zhou Sen said, "If you save me some money, can I still put it in my pocket?" Can't make it?"

"Master..." Wu En was even more embarrassed.

"Don't call me young master. From now on, either call me brother like Ye San'er, or call me boss like Lao Liu." Zhou Sen said angrily. His subordinates are worth cultivating, even if they can't stand alone, at least they can become right-hand assistants.

"Brother..." Wu En held back for a long time, his face turned red, and then he called out.

"Okay, forget it today, let me tell you, Miss Suzanne, you have to protect me, don't let her have any accidents, of course, if there is anything wrong with her, you should notify me as soon as possible." Zhou Sen asked in a low voice.

"Yes, bro, I see."

"Okay, I'm leaving. If you feel cold, ask the boss to add a pot of charcoal for you, but remember to leave a gap in the window and never close it."

This ice city burns charcoal at home every year, and it is not uncommon for a whole family to disappear.

……

When I got home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Sen asked Irina to boil water for him. He wanted to take a bath, in addition to driving away the cold, he also planned to bubble up the wine all over his body.

In addition to the film negative being missing for a period of time, a part of Shelkin’s relevant manuscripts is also missing, which is quite consistent with the time when the negative was missing.

During that time Shcherkin published hardly any articles in the newspapers, and no manuscripts survived.

As a reporter, I write about brothers every day, even if it is an essay or something, I will leave some.

This has become a habit, and the habit cannot be easily changed, unless he encounters something that makes him have to change.

In other words, all the things he wrote during this period were taken away.

During this period of time, what happened to Sherkin, Zhou Sen was also puzzled, should he go to "Songjiang Daily" again?

This made it difficult for Zhou Sen to make a decision.

He can pretend that he didn't discover this. Anyway, who killed Shelkin has no special meaning to him, and he has no obligation to catch the murderer and bring him justice.

What he wants to know more is, what exactly does Akiyama nosuke want to do? Is it really a test of his ability to hand over the case of Sherkin to himself?

Also, Papa Anthony died, and died in a mysterious mission of the Japanese. What kind of mission is it?
That's what he wanted to figure out, too.

Akiyama nosuke must know, but if he doesn't say it, he can't help it.

"Master Vasim, Mr. Ivanovic called this afternoon and said that he will come to visit you tomorrow." Irina made a glass of milk, took it into the study, and said to Zhou Sen.

"Tomorrow?" Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment. He was still thinking about finding a chance to meet Ivanovic, but he didn't expect him to come here first.

"Tomorrow happens to be the young master's rest, the young master won't forget it, right?" Irina said.

"I'll rest tomorrow?" Zhou Sen really forgot that he was a policeman, and he really regarded himself as the "people's servant" he was familiar with.

But, on this rest day, can he rest at home?

"When did Uncle Ivanovic say he'll be here?" Zhou Sen asked.

"nine in the morning."

"Okay, I get it." Zhou Sen nodded. This was the first time he had faced someone who had a close relationship with Papa Anthony since he replaced his original body.

Irina was just a maid in the family, it was impossible for her to know the secrets of Papa Anthony, or even if she knew some, it was very little.

But Ivanovic is different. He is not only a subordinate of Papa Anthony, but also a close partner, and may even be a "like-minded" comrade-in-arms.

Zhou Sen was a little nervous about how to face it. Father Anthony was strict and meticulous in his work, but Ivanovic was a very gentle and personable man in the original memory.

The original body had some admiration for Uncle Ivanovic, and he hoped to be a man as handsome and gentle as Ivanovic.

Even for a long time, I have been learning the ways and habits of this Uncle Ivan, for example, he likes to wear suits, his leather shoes are polished, and every time he goes out, his clothes are always ironed and his hair is also Comb meticulously.

Now, though, he's more casual.

Early the next morning, Zhou Sen woke up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, shaved his face, and specially applied a little hairspray on his hair to set it in shape.

I deliberately chose a gray plaid suit, custom Italian leather shoes, and men's perfume.

The smell is not bad, and it doesn't affect much if you use it a little, but you still need to reduce the use until you don't use it.

After breakfast, everything was ready, sitting in the living room while reading the newspaper, while waiting for Ivanovic to come to the door.

Sure enough, Ivanovich was very punctual and said it would be nine o'clock. At nine o'clock, he heard the sound of the bell of the carriage driving outside the door.

Irina opened the door, and Zhou Sen walked out of the door to greet her with Lucy in his arms.

"Uncle Ivanovic!" Zhou Sen opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man with a western face less than 1.7 meters getting out of the carriage.

First a hello, then a firm hug.

"Vasim, I heard that you have been promoted to a police officer. Uncle, the factory has been too busy these days, so I didn't have time to congratulate you!" Ivanovic chuckled.

"Uncle Ivan, please talk inside the room." Zhou Sen nodded his thanks and asked Ivanovic to enter the room for a detailed talk.

"it is good."

Entering the home, Zhou Sen asked Ivanovic to sit in the living room and asked Irina to serve black tea.

"I was supposed to visit my uncle, but I took a case and couldn't leave for a while, so it was really my fault that I asked Uncle Ivan to come here in person." Zhou Sen lowered his posture first and then said .

"Vasim, your father has been away for three months, and he hasn't sent a telegram or a letter to his family?" Ivanovic took a sip of his tea, put it down and asked.

"No."

"This is strange. Normally, your father would send a telegram or send a letter back to his family whenever he went out for more than half a month. How come there is no news from him this time?" Ivanovic frowned. road.

"Uncle Ivan, I never ask about this business matter, and my father seldom tells me about it. This time he went to Fengtian to discuss business, you should know better than me, and I still want to ask you Ask what's going on." Zhou Sen directly kicked the ball back.

"What can I do, your father is not here, and many things can't be dealt with..." Ivanovic frowned.

"Uncle Ivan, I don't know anything about this business. It's up to you to make up your mind. When your father comes back, you can explain it to him."

"However, without his authorization and personal seal, there are some things I can't handle in the company." Ivanovic said.

"Didn't father's personal seal be left to Uncle Ivan?" Zhou Sen was a little surprised. He left a letter in a hurry and made arrangements. Ivanovich is his right-hand man, so how could he not explain anything at all? No?
Is it...
