above the point of the knife

Chapter 346 Anxious Kageyama
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhengyang was captured by the Meihua Theater on Sandao Street.

Qiao Sanlang bought a ticket early, walked into the theater, and sat down at the agreed time and location.

Kageyama Jiro also came in with his plainclothes agents from the Security Bureau.

His purpose of coming this time is not to arrest people, but to confirm Qiao Sanlang's identity as a "Communist". Once he and Qin Shengtao complete the connection, he will secretly arrest him.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and it was soon approaching the agreed time.

Qin Shengtao didn't see him at all, and the eyeliner near the theater didn't report any relevant news.

Kageyama Jiro felt that something was wrong, but he continued to wait patiently. After all, the other party was just poor haha, he must not even have a watch. It is normal that the time is not so accurate.

Continued to wait another 10 minutes.

Still didn't see Qin Shengtao coming to join Qiao Sanlang, Kageyama Jiro frowned even deeper, there must be something wrong.

As soon as he raised his hand, a subordinate whispered an order.

The subordinate nodded and went down quickly.

Kageyama Jiro waited patiently for another 10 minutes, and decided not to wait any longer. Anyway, there is evidence, so he directly ordered the plainclothes agents who ambushed Qiao Saburo to surround him and prepare to arrest him.

But at this moment, another group of people appeared beside Qiao Sanlang, and the leader was actually Zou Shuxun from the Special Affairs Division of the Police Department.

Kageyama Jiro was furious. Why did the Secret Service get involved? How did they get the news?
He was just about to order to stop the arrest, but the conflict broke out suddenly.

This is how the show unfolded.

The secret agents of the Security Bureau staged a firefight with the plainclothes police officers of the Special Affairs Division of the National Police Agency, if Jiro Kageyama hadn't appeared in time.

I'm afraid that death is inevitable.

Even so, people were still injured, and the Meihua Theater was smashed into a mess and suffered heavy losses.

Kageyama Jiro is from the Security Bureau. Although Zou Shuxun is the captain of the special service team, everyone may be of the same rank, but the other party is Japanese, and he also has the power of supervision and life and death.

Facing the powerful Yingshan, Zou Shuxun can only be scolded.

But this matter was not his fault, he would also mistakenly think that Kageyama Jiro's people were the "Communist Party", and as a result, the flood flooded the Dragon King Temple.

Kageyama Jiro stared wide-eyed after understanding the incident: "What did you say, Qiao Sanlang reported it to the Secret Service?"

"Yes, if someone hadn't reported it, how could I have led the team to the Meihua Theater, and I have misunderstood you, Mr. Yingshan!" Zou Shuxun's forehead was sweating.

"Baga!" Although Kageyama Jiro couldn't find any evidence, he felt that this was not a coincidence, he was being calculated.

"This Qiao Sanlang is the Communist Party. I want to take him back for interrogation!"

"Mr. Yingshan, I am not the Communist Party. I was released from the correctional institution with your signature, and as soon as this Qin Shengtao contacted me, I reported it to the Secret Service. I am a good citizen..." Qiao Sanlang immediately hit the sky when he heard this Call injustice.

When Kageyama Jiro heard this, his face turned red immediately. He was the one who signed his release from the correctional institution.

He couldn't refute this point. If he took people away, he could still suppress him, but now he was shouted out in public.

This thing is different.

You let him go, and he even took the initiative to report it to the Secret Service. Now you say that he is a "Communist Party", which is obviously a false accusation!

"Shut up, I already have the evidence for whether you are the Communist Party or not, and I won't allow you to talk nonsense here!" Kageyama Jiro scolded angrily, "Come here, take this Qiao Saburo away!"

"Captain Zou, I was wronged..." Qiao Sanlang suddenly shouted at Zou Shuxun, "If I knew this was the case, why should I report to you, you can save me."

"Mr. Yingshan, is there a misunderstanding about this matter? Qiao Sanlang did report it to me. It is true that Qin Shengtao asked him to meet."

"But then Qin Shengtao is an underground party of the CCP, and he also testified that Qiao Sanlang is a Communist Party, and his status is not low." Kageyama Jiro said convincingly.

"Since Qin Shengtao testified that Qiao Sanlang was a Communist, why did you release him and arrest him now?"

"This is required by the case, and I have nothing to say to you." Jiro Kageyama refused bluntly.

"Yes, I'm talking too much." Zou Shuxun would not offend Kageyama Jiro because of Qiao Saburo. Anyway, his inadvertent intervention in this matter was just a misunderstanding with Kageyama Jiro.

"Captain Zou, you can't leave me alone..." Qiao Sanlang became anxious when he heard this. Zou Shuxun planned to hand him over to Jiro Kageyama.

"Qiao Sanlang, I can't take care of your affairs. I advise you to go back with Mr. Yingshan, maybe you can be cleared." Zou Shuxun said indifferently.

Qiao Sanlang fell to the ground as if mourning his concubine.

When Kageyama Jiro saw Qiao Saburo's appearance, his firm judgment was shaken in an instant.

With Qiao Sanlang's cowardice, how can he look like a Communist Party?

However, since there are witnesses, he is not afraid that nothing will come out of the interrogation. Maybe all of this is faked by Qiao Sanlang.

Just as Kageyama Jiro was about to leave the Meihua Theater with his people, one of his subordinates rushed over and whispered something in his ear.

Kageyama Jiro instantly showed a surprised and inexplicable expression.

With a wave of his hand, Kageyama Jiro ordered his subordinates to release Qiao Sanlang, although he knew there was something tricky about it.

But he has no evidence.

Qin Shengtao, Zhao Changqing, and Tian Fu are all missing. Without witnesses, how can we prove Qiao Sanlang's identity?

Even if Qiao Sanlang is taken back, so what, it's better to be in vain?

He can do this, but he can't do it in public, it will bring him a lot of trouble.

Saburo Shibuya has been promoted, and the new chief of security will not let him cover the sky in the security bureau. Once he is caught in the wrong place, he will definitely be in trouble.

For his own benefit and official status, he will not take risks.

But letting him go now doesn't mean he will let him go. He will still arrange for people to watch Qiao Sanlang, and his doubts about Qiao Sanlang will not be easily eliminated.

Although Zou Shuxun didn't know why Kageyama Jiro insisted on arresting Qiao Saburo and then let him go, but there must be something wrong, otherwise, Kageyama Jiro would not have made such inconsistent decisions.

Kageyama Jiro didn't explain much, and left with the people directly.

Zou Shuxun followed closely and left with others. As for the loss of the smashed Meihua Theater...

Only the boss who heard the news wanted to cry but had no tears.

This Japanese and the "Cripple Zou" of the Secret Service, he can't afford to offend any of them.I can only admit that I am unlucky.

……

"Oh, Uncle Zou, what brought you here?" Zhou Sen flipped through the documents delivered below, and suddenly looked up, and saw Zou Shuxun standing at the door.

In fact, he had smelled it, so he raised his head.

"Drink tea, I just arrived at Mingqian Longjing tea." Zhou Sen brewed a cup of Longjing tea for Zou Shuxun.

"Your family owns a tea house. This Ming Dynasty Longjing tea is rare in our ice city." Zou Shuxun sat down, picked up his teacup, and blew on the tea leaves floating on the water.

"Uncle Zou likes to drink. I'll get you two catties later?" Zhou Sen chuckled, and directly said that he would give him two catties of tea.

"Then I won't be too polite." Zou Shuxun chuckled. Although he couldn't taste good tea, he didn't drink this good tea himself, and he could give it as a gift. It's not for nothing.

"Uncle Zou took such good care of me in the police station, a little tea is nothing, I should show respect to you," Zhou Sen said hastily.

"You really can talk." Zou Shuxun smiled happily, "An incident happened at the Meihua Theater today, you haven't heard about it yet, have you?"

"What's the matter? Uncle Zou deserves to come over and tell me in person." Zhou Sen asked with a curious expression.

"I received a secret report yesterday..." Zou Shuxun started from the beginning, describing to Zhou Sen what happened at the Meihua Theater in the morning.

After hearing this, Zhou Sen frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle Zou, did you have any conflict with Chief Yingshan?"

"No, I'm worthy of offending Jiro Kageyama for an unknown Qiao Saburo." Zou Shuxun shook his head.

Zhou Sen nodded. In the police department, even a high-ranking director would not easily offend a Japanese police officer. If it was not right, it would bring him huge troubles.

It is even more difficult for Zou Shuxun to follow the wind. Usually when he sees the Japanese, he either nods and bows, or walks around.

"Speaking of which, this case has something to do with you. I'm here to remind you. Don't be passive if you don't know the situation."

"Thank you, Uncle Zou, for telling me. I really didn't know that after this case was settled in my hands, there would be so many follow-ups." Zhou Sen quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

"The Japanese obviously used that Qin Shengtao to fish. As a result, the fish was not caught, and the bait ran away with him. I am worried that he will trouble you at that time. After all, you investigated and closed this case before."

"I know, actually, I proposed to release this Qiao Saburo."

"You suggested it?"

"I think Qiao Sanlang is a businessman, because his business is not good and he sees profit, so he provides convenience to that Qin Shengtao. As for whether he is a Communist Party member, I think he may have been in contact with him for a long time and was a little bewitched. But didn’t he also accept the thought correction in the correctional institution, and he heard that he performed well, so he let him go, otherwise, if Qin Shengtao came to contact him, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to report to you, Uncle Zou!” Zhou Sen said .

"Well, it makes sense, so to speak, Qiao Sanlang has come to his senses and reformed himself." Zou Shuxun said, "But, why does Chief Yingshan still use him as a bait?"

"Maybe that bait is not Qiao Sanlang, but Qin Shengtao?"

"You mean, Yingshan suspected that Qin Shengtao was a Communist. He came to see Qiao Sanlang, and then suspected that Qiao Sanlang was too. But this morning at the Meihua Theater, Qin Shengtao did not show up. He failed to get the stolen goods. The plan fell through. He Just ordered Qiao Sanlang to be arrested..."

"Uncle Zou, we are both guessing, but the real truth is, just ask Chief Yingshan directly to find out."

"How dare I ask that."

"It's not easy for me to ask. I've handed in this case and it has nothing to do with me." Zhou Sen spread his hands with a smile.

"If you don't ask this, it doesn't mean Chief Kageyama won't come to ask you..."

Before the words were finished, the phone on Zhou Sen's desk rang. Zhou Sen quickly reached out to pick up the receiver: "Hello, I am the Special Investigation Branch. Okay, I'll be there right away."

"Is it Kageyama Jiro?"

"Uncle Zou, didn't you hear me, you called me over." Zhou Sen nodded, "I can't drink tea with you and talk, so I have to go over quickly."

"Okay, hurry up, if you have any news, I need to talk to you, Uncle Zou." Zou Shuxun hurriedly urged.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zou." Zhou Sen had already got up.

……

They were all in the same building. Zhou Sen quickly came to the door of Kageyama Jiro's office, reached out and knocked on the door, and Kageyama Jiro's voice could be heard repeatedly.

Enter!
Zhou Sen opened the door and walked in, saw Kageyama Jiro, his face seemed not so good, obviously stimulated by the action in the morning.

"Mr. Yingshan, you called me here in such a hurry, do you have anything to tell me?" Zhou Sen approached, bowed slightly, and asked.

"Zhou Mori-kun, sit down." Jiro Kageyama raised his hand in greeting.

Zhou Sen thanked him and sat down on the chair opposite Kageyama Jiro's desk.

"Zhou Sen-kun, do you still remember Qiao Sanlang?" Jiro Kageyama stood up and asked Zhou Sen.

"Of course, this Qiao Sanlang is not a small bookstore owner. He was involved in the case of the Communist Party rally. Isn't this case closed? Why, what happened?" Zhou Sen asked.

"You really don't know?"

"Oh, I've heard some, saying that you led the team out today, but I don't dare to inquire about what to do."

"Did Captain Zou tell you?"

"Brigade Zou is handling the case, why would he tell me, Mr. Yingshan, what's the matter with you, just tell me, I'm really uncomfortable guessing this." Zhou Sen said hastily.

"I listened to your suggestion and released Qiao Sanlang. After waiting for nearly a month, I found that there was nothing unusual about him. So I released Qin Shengtao and Zhao Changqing together. This Qin Shengtao must be a Communist Party member, so I thought I used him to lure out the communists lurking in Bingcheng, so I instigated Zhao Changqing and put him beside Qin Shengtao. After Qin Shengtao went out, he really tried to contact his superiors, but the contact signal he sent However, nothing came to light, and Qin Shengtao was a little impatient. Zhao Changqing suggested that he contact Qiao Sanlang. Qin Shengtao believed that Qiao Sanlang was a "traitor". To arrest people, if Qin Shengtao failed to show up on time, I would continue to put this bait and monitor their every move. Who knows, Qiao Sanlang actually wanted to inform Captain Zou, and Qin Shengtao and Zhao Changqing were also going to the Meihua Theater I disappeared on the road, and now there are no witnesses, so even if I arrest Qiao Saburo, it will not help." Kageyama Jiro explained.

After listening to Zou Shuxun's description, Zhou Sen also roughly analyzed the inside story. Now, after hearing what Kageyama Jiro said, it becomes clearer.

Sure enough, that Zhao Changqing was bought by Kageyama Jiro in the correctional institution. Kageyama Jiro released him and Qin Shengtao from the correctional institution, obviously intending to use Qin Shengtao as a bait to catch the underground party lurking in the ice city.

It's a pity that there was no response to the contact signal sent by Qin Shengtao. Zhao Changqing and Jiro Kageyama were in a hurry, so they turned their ideas on Qiao Sanlang again.

Qiao Sanlang's identity is indeed suspicious in many ways, especially Qin Shengtao is not on guard against Zhao Changqing at all, and he will inevitably speak freely in his speech. In this way, Qiao Sanlang's identity cannot be concealed.

This is troublesome, Qiao Saburo must be under Kageyama Jiro's surveillance again now, and it is even stricter than before.

Jiang Rou wanted to get in touch with her superiors, but she was about to run aground again.
