above the point of the knife

Chapter 286 Poland Team

Go back to the police station.

The first thing Zhou Sen had to do was to go to Akiyama Nosuke, Chief of the Secret Service Section, to give a simple report on the whole case.

After listening to his report, Akiyamanosuke remained silent for a long time.

The case is not complicated.

But things are complicated behind the scenes.

This involves Japan's infiltration and control of the gray industry in Bingcheng, and Qin Laoqi belongs to the underworld in Bingcheng.

Many things that the Japanese are not easy to do directly are all entrusted to him, and he can still grab a lot of profits from the forces controlled by Qin Laoqi every year.

Like the opium business.

The Japanese do not go to the terminal sales in person, but control the source of planting and production, and the sales are handed over to Chinese people like Qin Laoqi.

Of course, Qin Laoqi is not alone.

Not to mention other aspects.

Qin Laoqi is an agent, and Su Wenqing is similar, but Su Wenqing is on the other hand, and he is more serious about business.

It's not a trivial matter to abandon the Qin family and choose another agency, not to mention that the higher-ups have never thought about this idea.

After all, the Qin family has always been very obedient, and the profits turned in are also increasing year by year.

They wouldn't be willing to kill an obedient dog, even if it made a big mistake, as long as it didn't devour the master.

But Zhou Sen is also very important. Besides, Zhou Sen didn't take the initiative to provoke Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong and Su Wenqing fight, as long as the fight is not broken, the higher-ups are happy to see it.

If the Manchus are united, it will be harmful to their rule, and only fighting can do it.

But you can't fight too hard.

Just keep it within a "degree".

Zhou Sen is very important, especially for the empire's "Northward Advance" plan, it is a very critical piece.It is indeed sympathetic to suffer from such an innocent disaster.

It's time for someone to warn Qin Xiong.

"Zhou Sen-jun, how do you want to end this case?" Akiyamanosuke planned to understand Zhou Sen's attitude first.

"This subordinate listens to Section Chief Akiyama."

"Since Miss Xiao Xiangning is fine, why don't you ask Qin Xiong to come to the door to apologize and compensate for mental damage?" Akiyama asked after some consideration.

Zhou Sen knew in his heart that Akiyamanosuke wanted to protect Qin Xiong, and he was afraid that he would not get support from the Japanese if he insisted on severely punishing Qin Xiong, but he couldn't just let him go so easily, so he said: "This time The victim is also Qin Lang."

"They are brothers, they should talk better, right?"

"But Qin Xiong drove Qin Lang out of the Qin family, and he was penniless. Does anyone treat his own brother like this?"

"what do you want?"

"I want to take this opportunity to take back the Taipingqiao Casino for Qin Lang. He was originally the manager of the Taipingqiao Casino." Zhou Sen said.

Akiyama nosuke remained silent, the annual profit of the Taipingqiao Gambling House is quite a lot, although it is not as good as the opium trade.

Zhou Sen wants to go back to Taipingqiao Gambling House for Qin Lang, it is not as simple as the right to operate, it means leaving such a large profit.

I'm afraid the people behind the Taiping Bridge Gambling House will not agree to this loss.

"Section Chief Qiushan, I only want the shares of the Qin family in Taipingqiao Casino, and nothing else." Zhou Sen added.

Akiyamanosuke twitched his eyebrows, and he understood that Zhou Sen's appetite was not that great, and he just wanted to take the share that belonged to Qin Lang.

This is much easier to do.

Taipingqiao Gambling House was also managed well in the hands of Qin Lang before, as long as the interests of the people behind it are guaranteed, everything is easy to talk about.

"Okay, I will report to Chief Matsuda and Director White later, you should report to the Foreign Affairs Division first." Akiyamanosuke nodded.

……

"How about it, what did Section Chief Akiyama say?"

"Qin Xiong is nothing. The key is that Qin Laoqi is not dead yet. Although he has retired, his connections are still there. We can't move him now, we can only compromise." Facing Anna's concern, Zhou Sen explained, "What did Shibuya-sensei say?"

"The teacher called back and said that Qin Laoqi has been in the ice city for decades, and he is deeply rooted. He is a friend of the Japanese Empire. I hope you will handle it carefully." Anna said.

This result was expected, and he never thought that Saburo Shibuya would support him and Qin Xiong to live forever, which is unrealistic.

The Japanese will start from the perspective of their own interests, right and wrong are not important to them, because they believe in the Western "law of the jungle", where the weak prey on the strong.

"Okay, I see. Do you want to go with me to the foreign affairs department, or stay in the secret service department?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Where are you going, where am I going." Anna said without hesitation.

"There's not much work to inspect the unit, and it's easy. If you go there with me, you'll be busy." Zhou Sen said, "This year is going to be uneasy."

"I'm Russian, and it's not your Lunar New Year." Anna said.

"It's true, hehe." Zhou Sen smiled, "Wu En, have you seen it?"

"Oh, chatting in the tea room..."

"I'll go find him."

"Didn't you go to the foreign affairs department to report..."

"Let's go later..."

……

"Wuen, go to the Su Mansion, see Su Wenqing, and tell him that..." Zhou Sen found Wuen in the tea room and gave an order.

"Do you hear clearly?"

"Understood, Brother Sen." Wu En nodded.

"Okay, hurry up, hurry back, I still need a car in a while." Zhou Sen nodded. He didn't want the right to operate the Taipingqiao Casino. Of course, if Qin Lang really wanted to get it back, he wouldn't either. Objected, but in that case, he and Jiang Rou would be completely useless.

He also wanted to use this to test Qin Lang, to see if he had really changed, and he didn't want to go the old way again.

If he still wants to go the old way, then not only him, but Jiang Rou will not choose him.

As for Hou Wu, it is absolutely impossible for him to let him go. If he doesn't teach Qin Xiong a lesson, wouldn't it be that he is too weak to be bullied.

……

Zhou Sen came out of the tea room and was just about to report to the Foreign Affairs Department when he bumped into Zou Shuxun. He was also surprised to see Zhou Sen.

"Zhou Sen, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to be here."

"Find me?"

"Strictly speaking, you are the victim of Sun Qingkui's case." Zou Shuxun said, "The case has some clues, so I won't come looking for you."

"What kind of a sufferer am I?"

"Sun Qingkui has no children, and the apprentices he adopted are the closest people. Xiao Xiangning inherited the Ruiqing class he founded. You are Xiao Xiangning's adopted brother, and you have also been in the Ruiqing class. It would not be an exaggeration to say that you are the Lord of Suffering."

"Uncle Zou, this is too far away, you can just talk about the case." Zhou Sen shook his head.

"That Huang Wei admitted that he killed Sun Qingkui." Zou Shuxun said.

"Did he really kill it?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise, "He was just trying to make money, so there's no point in killing people, not to mention that Sun Qingkui's body doesn't have many days left, so he can't take the risk?"

"According to Huang Wei and Xu Chunmei's account, this Sun Qingkui intends to hand over the houses and shops under his name to Miss Xiao Xiangning to inherit..."

"It's not nonsense. Sun Qingkui loves money like his life. His relationship with Xiaorou has broken down long ago. How could he hand over his property to Xiaorou? Besides, if Xiaorou inherits the property, it doesn't mean he will also inherit his property. Who would be so stupid if he sold his property and it would not be enough to pay off his gambling debts?"

"I also don't think this is credible, but they all said that, and they all admitted that they had killed someone. They don't need to lie about such a trivial matter."

"If the two didn't lie, then Sun Qingkui lied to them." Zhou Sen asked, "Have you found out the details of the murder?"

"That's why I came to you." Zou Shuxun took out a transcript of the interview with Huang Wei from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhou Sen reached out to take it, glanced at ten lines, and quickly scanned it.

Although Zou Shuxun didn't have any great skills and did many bad things, he still had vision and experience after years of police work.

Whether Huang Wei is the murderer who killed Sun Qingkui, he can still tell, just look at the description of the details of the murder in this record, which is obviously different from what they collected evidence at the scene, unless there were other people before that He had been to the scene, otherwise Huang Wei would never have been the one who killed him.

Huang Wei said that he had thrown away the murder weapon, but they obviously found it in the firewood pile in the corner.

It's not like throwing it away casually, and there is no fingerprint on the handle of the knife that matches Huang Wei's. Of course, it is possible to commit the crime with gloves on.

But wearing gloves, the gloves must be stained with blood, where are the gloves?
This key evidence was not in Sun Qingkui's house, nor was it found in Huang Wei's hiding place, which is strange.

There is also the time of the murder, which is not easy to judge. After all, Sun Qingkui's death time can only be judged roughly, if it is more than ten minutes before and after, it is impossible to judge.

The reason why Jiang Rou and Qin Lang were ruled out of suspicion was also because there were witnesses, and the time of death was delayed by at least an hour after they left.

In addition, the clothes on their bodies were all worn when they went there, they had not been changed, and there was no trace of blood on their bodies.

Judging from the scene of Sun Qingkui's death, it is impossible that the murderer was not spattered with blood.

"Don't Huang Wei know that this is the crime of beheading, so he is willing to take the blame?" Zhou Sen was very surprised. If the murderer was caught, he would be shot and beheaded. ,Not afraid of death?

"Uncle Zou, can I see this Huang Wei?" Zhou Sen asked.

"You can do it at any time. Anyway, there are still many doubts in this case, and I'm not in a hurry to close it." Zou Shuxun nodded.

"Then I'll report to the Foreign Affairs Division first, and then I'll go to you." Zhou Sen handed the statement back to Zou Shuxun.

"Okay, if I'm not here, you can find Xiaosun."

……

Suppressing his desire to see Huang Wei, Zhou Sen went back to his office to get his transfer order and went to the office of the head of the foreign affairs department.

The foreign affairs department of the Bingcheng Police Department, such an important position, naturally cannot be handed over to a Chinese, it must be a Japanese.

However, the foreign affairs department has the most diverse personnel, not only Chinese and Japanese, but also Baekje and Russians. Although the police department does not have the most people, it must be the department with the highest education.

In fact, the foreign affairs department of the police department can be regarded as an intelligence agency. It is mainly responsible for the issuance of visas and passports, as well as the liaison and communication functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bingcheng and the consulates in Bingcheng. The foreign affairs department in general cities has very few functions. In a city like Bingcheng with a large number of foreign consulates, the Foreign Affairs Department can play its role.

Boom boom boom!
Zhou Sen knocked on the office of Yataro Dacheng, Chief of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Bingcheng Police Department. (made up by this person)
