above the point of the knife

Chapter 307

"Yulan, I've never heard of this person before, what can you do to deal with it?" Zhou Sen asked humbly.

He used to be at the grassroots level. Although he had access to a lot of mixed information, there were still some levels of information that he could not access.

Like this "Yizhimei", he has almost never committed crimes in Bingcheng, or he has committed crimes and was not discovered, so he doesn't know much.

In the past, Zhou Sen's circle was limited to Bingcheng and its surrounding areas, and he got information through newspapers and radio.

The Japanese controlled the channels of information dissemination, so the news was naturally blocked, and he didn't know much about it, let alone ordinary people.

"Apart from monitoring Sangbiao's whereabouts, seeing who he has contacts with, and finding out the clues of this 'Yizhimei' contacting Sangbiao, there is no other way." Bai Yulan said.

"I read the records in these files. This 'Yizhimei' usually sends a letter to the requester first, asking him to meet him, but the time and place of the meeting are just a cover. After the person arrives, he will send another person to meet him. Contact can be a note from the little beggar, or a phone call, or a letter sent by flying arrows, or leave a note at the agreed meeting place, agree on a price, and ask the employer to directly pay half of the price. If the deposit is delivered to my son, the contract will be concluded, because people like to use plum blossom paper, so they are called "a plum blossom" by Jianghu people."

"That's right, we don't know yet whether this 'Yizhimei' has come to Bingcheng, whether he has contacted Sangbiao, or reached an agreement, so..."

"So, we came here to act first."

"what do you mean?"

"Since no one knows the true identity of this 'Yizhimei', I will simply pretend to be her and contact Sangbiao."

"You want to use the identity of 'Yizhimei' to get rid of Sangbiao?"

"No, I'm going to lure 'Yizhimei' out. If she knows that someone pretending to be her has cut off his employer's job, guess what she will do?"

"She will definitely be angry and want to find out this fake person..."

"Unless she endures it and doesn't care about the reputation she has made in the past, she will definitely come to find her," Zhou Sen said.

"Isn't this the same as taking the initiative to be an enemy?" Bai Yulan said, "Then Sangbiao may not be able to sell 'Yizhimei' to work for him?"

"Sangbiao's financial resources are limited, but Qin Xiong has them. He didn't stop Sangbiao. Doesn't that explain anything?"

"You mean, it was Qin Xiong's instigation."

"Even if there is no instigation, it is acquiescence, and Sang Biao has no money, so Qin Xiong doesn't?" Zhou Sen said.

"However, how can Sangbiao believe that you are 'Yizhimei'?" Bai Yulan asked.

"Yulan, can you make this kind of triangular armor-piercing cone?" Zhou Sen asked.

"It is possible, but what I created may not be used by 'Yizhimei'." Bai Yulan said, "I can't see the exact wound, so I probably wouldn't think much about it even if I built it."

"This kind of weapon must not be too long, it should not exceed one foot, and the cone blade is only about four or five inches. I have all the tools in my darkroom. Can you make one?"

"Changbo's craftsmanship is good, you can ask him to try it." Bai Yulan thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, I'll see him tomorrow."

"Now, this is the only plum blossom paper left. Is there any plum blossom paper like this in the market?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Yes, but it's not the same style as the one above. Compared to this, it's a self-made paper note." Bai Yulan said.

"Is no one copying it?"

"Imitation, are you not afraid of lawsuits, or that 'Yizhimei' will come to your door, that person will do such a thankless thing?" Bai Yulan asked rhetorically.

"Yulan, can you draw?"

"I know a little bit..." Bai Yulan nodded shyly.

"Oh, my wife is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs!" Zhou Sen exclaimed, "I, Zhou Sen, have found a treasure."

"But I don't know how to make paper?" Bai Yulan blushed slightly when she was praised by Zhou Sen's exaggerated tone.

"I know a little bit, but I'm not very proficient." Zhou Sen said, "We can buy some blank letterheads and just dye them."

"Then how are you going to contact Sangbiao?"

"Since I made the plum-blossom letter, it is natural for someone to send a letter, and I have to imitate the handwriting of this 'Yizhimei'. Fortunately, Zou Shuxun has given so many materials, otherwise, I really have no way to start." Zhou Sen said.

"Teach me how to make paper."

"Yulan wants to learn?"

"I have nothing to do at home, so I can help you." Bai Yulan nodded.

"it is good."

……

"Help me keep an eye on Qin Xiong's whereabouts, I know you can do it." Early the next morning, while having breakfast, Zhou Sen whispered in Qin Lang's ear.

"Brother Sen..."

"You don't have the right to refuse, if you want to have a room of your own in Ningxiang Pavilion?"

Qin Lang's Adam's apple twitched, and the swallowing movement showed that his heart was moving at the moment.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"That's right. If there is any situation, you can come to me or talk to Yulan at any time." Zhou Sen ordered.

"Understood, Brother Sen."

After Zhou Sen had breakfast, he asked Wu En to drive to work. Bai Yulan called Chang Bo into the study and handed him a blueprint.

"This is an armor-piercing cone, miss, you want my old bone to return to my old business?" Chang Bo asked in surprise.

"Komori asked for it, and he also drew this picture. Can you make it?"

"The shape is not difficult, but the materials and tools..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Tomorrow, you go to the house on Komori Gaoshi Street. There is a utility room under the stairs on the first floor of his house..."

"As long as I have tools and materials, give me three days, no, I can print it in two days." Chang Bo said.

"Okay, then for two days, you can concentrate on this matter."

"Miss, let me ask too much, what did my uncle do to build such an armor-piercing cone?" Chang Bo asked cautiously.

"Of course I'll tell you when you build it," Bai Yulan said.

"Yes, I went."

"Remember to make it old so that it looks like an old thing." Bai Yulan added another instruction.

"Yes."

……

"Yes, Chief Xi Cun, I'll be right there." Not long after Zhou Sen started work, he received a call from Xi Cun, the first squad leader in charge of general affairs of Bingcheng's intelligence agency.

Tell him to come to No. 3 Yiyuan Road immediately.

He didn't dare to neglect this order, so he immediately greeted Wu En and drove to No. 3 Yiyuan Road.

Zhou Sen doesn't come to No. 3 Yiyuan Road very often, so every time he has to show his ID to enter, unlike some people who come often enough, a face is a pass.

This will inevitably delay time, and Wu En does not have a certificate, so he is not qualified to enter, so he can only wait outside.

"Chief Nishimura...Director Yamamoto, why is it you, where is Chief Nishimura?" Seeing Toshi Yamamoto in the office, Zhou Sen was taken aback.

"I asked Squad Leader Nishimura to invite you over."

"Director Yamamoto wants to see me, why bother?" Zhou Sen asked strangely.

"It's inconvenient for me to go to the police station to find you, and I don't want people to know our relationship, so I can only use this method." Toshi Yamamoto chuckled, "Zhou Sen-jun, please sit down."

"Director Yamamoto, what do you need from me?" Zhou Sen frowned slightly, but it was impossible to leave like this, at least he had to figure out Toshi Yamamoto's purpose.

"sit."

Zhou Sen sat down in front of Toshi Yamamoto.

"Natasha reported to her boss about your meeting with Natasha." Yamamoto sat down and said.

"Reported?" Zhou Sen was startled, of course the surprise was feigned, because this was also in his plan with Natasha.

"That is to say, the Soviet Russians know that I am in Ice City?"

"Yes, not only do they know that you are in Ice City, but they also secretly formulated a plan, code-named: Corrosion."

"Corrosion?" Zhou Sen was just the one who proposed the plan, but he didn't know what details Arman and Peshkov would make.

"Yes, Corrosion. It seems that they value you very much. It should be because of your successful rescue of Captain Ando." Toshi Yamamoto said.

"How did we know about such a top-secret plan?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"We still have some intelligence channels in Moscow." Toshi Yamamoto explained, "You don't need to know too much about this."

"Has Moscow paid attention to this matter?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise.

"It may be because of Natasha's special status, so it is necessary to seek advice from Moscow." Toshi Yamamoto said casually.

"That's right, what should I do?"

"We are still obtaining the specific content of the plan. At present, we can only understand it from a literal meaning, that is, they may use the relationship between Natasha and you to instigate you to work for them." Yamamoto Toshi said.

"Isn't this the same as our thinking?" Zhou Sen said in surprise.

"Yes, we want to instigate Natasha, but the Soviet Russians seem to think that this is also an opportunity. They want to instigate you through Natasha." Yamamoto Toshi said.

"They wouldn't have thought that we have the same idea?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"Of course, so, they will definitely test and verify you repeatedly. Next, we need to make some adjustments to our plan. From now on, you have to cooperate with Natasha's corruption of you, and let her believe that you are willing to work for me. They work."

"Commander Yamamoto, isn't this turning into her instigating against me? What if I'm really taken advantage of?"

"Zhou Senjun, your wife and unborn child are all in Ice City. I don't think you will betray the empire because of these." Toshi Yamamoto smiled slightly.

Zhou Sen's eyelids twitched. Toshi Yamamoto would use Bai Yulan to control himself. He thought of this, but he didn't expect that he actually knew that Bai Yulan was pregnant.

"Doctor Liu is just a doctor. He dare not hide anything in front of life and death." Toshi Yamamoto said bluntly.

"Chief Yamamoto, you've been bothered. You've investigated the insider's affairs so clearly." Zhou Sen's face was as calm as water.

"I'm also thinking about your safety." Toshi Yamamoto smiled, "However, having said that, Mr. Zhou Sen, you really need to pay attention to your safety recently."

"Thank you Director Yamamoto for your concern. I know my safety."
