above the point of the knife

Chapter 348 Get Out
Toshi Yamamoto asked Zhou Sen to go back first, and communicate with him after he understood the matter of Markovich clearly.

Zhou Sen naturally had no objection.

Zhou Sen originally thought of this matter as an excuse, and it would be best if he could get news about Markovich from Toshiro Yamamoto, and if he didn't, there would be no loss.

As for Malkovich being a virus expert, he was just talking nonsense. Anyway, he is not responsible.

Because, this is very likely to be the wrong information given by the Soviet side. He is just relaying it. From the beginning to the end, he has never had any intersection with this Markovich.

No matter how suspicious Yamamoto was, he couldn't doubt him.

……

Inside the Ningxiang Pavilion.

"Brother Qingshan, come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables..." Zhou Sen hosted a banquet at home to welcome Ai Qingshan's arrival.

Bai Yulan accompanied her with her big belly.

"Junior Sister, Brother-in-Law, Brother-in-law is here this time to stay in Bingcheng and do some small business. When the time comes, will I ask my Junior Sister and Brother-in-law to take care of me?" Ai Qingshan raised his glass.

"It's all from my own family, as it should be." Zhou Sen chuckled and agreed, leaving Bai Yulan stunned.

She knew that Ai Qingshan and Zhou Sen didn't know each other well, and when they met for the first time, they seemed like brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.

These two are eccentric.

"Junior Sister, in fact, my brother-in-law and I have met each other a long time ago. The last time I came to Bingcheng, my brother-in-law specially sent someone to invite me to dinner..." Ai Qingshan sat down and explained.

"Ah?" Bai Yulan looked at Zhou Sen, why hadn't he heard this matter before.

"Isn't that the plague? You're pregnant, so it's not suitable to go out. I didn't want to hide it from you. I was invited by Brother Qingshan in my restaurant. I forgot to tell you when I was busy later." Zhou Sen quickly explained.

"Changbo also knows?"

"Yes, I don't know where Senior Brother Qingshan lives, so why don't you ask Chang Bo to pass on a message?" Zhou Sen chuckled and asked Chang Bo to share the burden.

Bai Yulan remained silent, and she also knew that there must be something difficult to say between these two men.

Especially Ai Qingshan also fell in love with her in the past, this meal is good, it's okay, if there is a fight, how will she deal with herself in the middle?
Then Ai Qingshan left, and the matter was over, both Zhou Sen and Chang Bo felt that it was better not to talk about it.

Who would have thought that this Ai Qingshan would actually come back and plan to stay in Bingcheng.

This is a heart-to-heart comparison, Bai Yulan can understand Zhou Sen's approach.

"Senior Brother Qingshan, what are you going to do?"

"Chinese medicinal materials."

"Chinese medicinal materials, brother, the medicinal material business in this ice city is monopolized by several medicinal material dealers, and outsiders can't get in at all."

"I just picked up the sesame seeds that leaked from their fingers to eat, and I didn't plan to grab the territory with them." Ai Qingshan said.

"Brother, do you want to specialize in our hospital?" Bai Yulan saw it.

"That's right, my little amount accounts for a fraction of the market in Bingcheng, and I guess my junior sister's family is not enough." Ai Qingshan nodded. The business of this medicinal material is not easy to do. It can't be purchased from the herbal collectors and then resold. You can make money as soon as you sell it.

This involves the buyer. The medicinal materials are not sold directly to the common people. Although there are some of them, the quantity is very small.

Mainly major medical halls, traditional Chinese medicine shops.

Medicines in medical centers and pharmacies depend on your quality and the variety of medicinal materials. This competition is everywhere.

Large medicinal material vendors have several high-quality products in their hands, which are widely used medicinal materials. They are generally large in quantity, cheap, and irreplaceable.

With this, you can be invincible in the market.

For example, there is a medicinal herb dealer who specializes in astragalus, and his astragalus is the best in quality and efficacy, and as long as he has this supply in his hand, he can occupy this market.

Medical clinics and pharmacies are not ordinary businesses. If it is a good medicinal material, it can allow patients to take medicine for curing diseases.

Therefore, there is no medical clinic or pharmacy that is so stupid that it is shoddy, so that no one will patronize even the best doctor.

Medicinal materials are the easiest to monopolize. Once selected, they will not be replaced easily unless the quality of the other party changes or there is a better choice.

Those who can do the business of Chinese herbal medicines are the accumulation of generations, or even the operation and development of several generations.

"Senior Brother Qingshan, although we are brothers and sisters, the quality of medicinal materials is related to human life, so if the quality is not up to standard, we will not take care of our own business." Bai Yulan did not give Ai Qingshan any face.

"It's natural, Junior Sister, please rest assured, the medicinal materials are not qualified, and I will not force them to you." Ai Qingshan promised.

"Yulan, brother, you are also from your own family. How could you cheat us? The quality must not be bad." Zhou Sen hurriedly said, "This matter is settled like this. Tomorrow, let's sign a medicine supply contract." Contract, we will act according to the contract."

"Okay, everything is done according to the contract."

After sending Ai Qingshan away, Zhou Sen returned to the small building.

"Why did Senior Brother Qingshan suddenly want to come to Bingcheng and do business in medicinal materials? Is this your suggestion?" Bai Yulan questioned.

"I just suggested it last time, but I didn't expect him to really agree." Zhou Sen chuckled.

"Do you know that Senior Brother Qingshan has many enemies in Bingcheng, when he was forced to leave, partly because of me, and partly because he was forced to leave." Bai Yulan said.

"It's been so many years, and the times have changed. What we can think of, Brother Qingshan can't think of it?" Zhou Sendao, "It's not that I begged him to come back, but he came back by himself. Is it possible that in Bingcheng, with me and Your current power can't protect him?"

"He is the seventh son of the Thirteen Flying Eagles, and he is the most wanted criminal for the Japanese people." Bai Yulan said solemnly.

"who knows?"

Bai Yulan was stunned by the question, yes, apart from a few of them, who knows the identity of Ai Qingshan, if the Japanese knew, it would have been announced all over the world.

"Senior Brother Qingshan didn't use his real name in Thirteen Flying Eagles, so unless someone who has seen him testifies, no one would know that he is Eagle Seven, not even you and me." Zhou Sen said, "You and Everyone knows about his brother-sister relationship. When he comes back, it’s understandable for you to help him. As for his enemies, he can handle them by himself, and he won’t come to us. Why worry so much, as long as he is not If he was arrested for the crime of 'anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese', I can keep him safe, even if he is, we can find a way, can't we?"

"But this..."

"The old brothers from the past, it's best to know the identity of Qingshan Senior Brother, they must be brought to your side, or they all stay away from Bingcheng, so it's over." Zhou Sen said, "This matter, wait for Changbo to come back, let him Go talk to Brother Qingshan."

"What about the funding for Thirteen Flying Eagles?"

"Stop it, we have Senior Brother Qingshan here, why should we look far away?" Zhou Sen said, "There is no need to contact them anymore, if you have anything to do, just go to Senior Brother Qingshan."

Bai Yulan nodded. Compared to Thirteen Flying Eagles, Ai Qingshan was more trustworthy and reliable.

"We are also short of manpower right now. Senior Brother Qingshan came back and just needed it."

……

The Japanese Consulate in Bingcheng, Toshi Yamamoto's office, he called Zhou Sen over with a phone call, and then handed him a confidential document.

"Director Yamamoto, can I read this?" Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment, took it over, and asked.

"Of course." Yamamoto nodded.

Zhou Sen opened the seal, took out the confidential document from the file bag, glanced at it for a while, and was shocked: "Director Yamamoto, what is written on it is true. Is this Markovich really dead?"

"This is still fake. Isn't there a forensic autopsy report in it, the cause of death and the date are written on it." Yamamoto Toshi said.

"Then is this person cremated or buried?" Zhou Sen asked.

"It should be cremated. For this kind of illness, we usually use cremation to dispose of the corpse."

"Then can we still find the ashes?"

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Toshi Yamamoto said helplessly.

"Well, with this, I can explain something to her." Zhou Sen didn't take it seriously, and stuffed the documents directly into his bag.

Toshi Yamamoto saw that Zhou Sen didn't care, and his expression was a little unnatural, hesitant to speak, but he still didn't speak in the end.

How could Zhou Sen not know that this document was true before Markovich was captured in the Battle of Haraha River and imprisoned in Hailar, but since he was taken to Bingcheng, it was completely fabricated up.

He even made up a medical record for his hospitalization, which seemed to be the case, and most people really couldn't see any flaws.

Anyway, he pretended not to notice it, and waited for Natasha's feedback.

……

Qiao Sanlang closed the door as usual, ready to go home for dinner and rest.

Just as he was about to press the last door panel, a man in a long gown and top hat walked towards his grocery store.

"Boss, I'm sorry, do you have any candles and matches here?" The person who came seemed to be very anxious, obviously looking for many places, but failed to buy.

"Sir, I'm closed, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"The wires in my house suddenly short-circuited. I can't fix it today. I can only ask someone to fix it tomorrow. So, I can only buy some candles to go home tonight?"

"So that's how it is. That's alright. I'll look for it for you. There aren't many people buying candles now." Qiao Sanlang didn't doubt it either. He put down the last door panel and turned around to look for it.

The guests in long gowns also followed in.

After a while, the guest left with a pack of candles, and after a while, Qiao Sanlang also closed the door and went towards his home.

The spies monitoring Qiao Sanlang followed him all the way back home, and only left after the lights in the house were turned on.

But the next day, the plainclothes spy in charge of monitoring Qiao Sanlang's grocery store did not wait until Qiao Sanlang came to open the door.

It was almost noon, and the people hadn't come yet. The secret agents realized that something was wrong, and quickly sent people to the rented house of Qiao Sanlang.

The spies kicked open the door and found that there was no one inside, and nothing in the house had been moved, including the quilt on the bed, which was folded properly.

Kageyama Jiro was furious when he received the report. He didn't arrest Qiao Sanlang, but he still hoped to dig some clues from Qiao Sanlang.

As a result, there is nothing left now, and people are still slipping away under their own eyes and noses.

Kageyama Jiro hastily issued an investigation assistance notice and arrest warrant, searched and arrested the whole city, and assisted investigation and interception at major checkpoints.

However, he also knew that ordering the arrest and interception at this time was already an afterthought, and it would not help the matter.

Kageyama Jiro's assisted investigation notification and arrest warrant were also sent to the Secret Service, and Zhou Sen was also affiliated with the Secret Service, so he could see it.

Qiao Sanlang fled.

This is a good thing. It is quite dangerous for him to stay in Bingcheng, and it will not affect Jiang Rou's safety.

He left, and Jiang Rou was safe. The biggest problem was that Jiang Rou's relationship with the organization was broken.

But it doesn't matter, his relationship is still there, at least he can get in touch with the Anti-League through the Soviet side, so that in fact, two lines merge into one line.

Back home at night.

Zhou Sen told Jiang Rou the news of Qiao Sanlang's escape from the ice city. Although he didn't know the details, Qiao Sanlang must have been prepared to escape from Kageyama Jiro's strict surveillance. Otherwise, how could he have escaped from the Security Bureau? The spy slipped away under the nose?
Qiao Sanlang left without communicating with Jiang Rou, which made her feel that Qiao Sanlang left in a hurry and did not seem to be planned.

This doesn't seem like his way of doing things. There must be something she doesn't know about it.

Zhou Sen didn't have much contact with Qiao Sanlang, so he didn't know much about his character, but Jiang Rou's analysis made sense.

However, regarding Qiao Sanlang's situation, he now needs to avoid suspicion, and should not pay too much attention to and inquire about it, so as not to be suspected.

Although the person was not lost in his hands, but he handled the previous case, and he also had the crime of ignoring it.

Kageyama Jiro didn't call him over again, probably because he was also a little dissatisfied with him, but he also knew that the current decision was made by him, it had nothing to do with Zhou Sen, and he couldn't blame him.

As long as Qiao Sanlang can't be caught, the case will come to an end.

However, that Zhao Changqing came back, dressed in ragged clothes, like a beggar, and was arrested by Kageyama Jiro as soon as he came back into the "Songhua School".

As for what will happen to him, Zhou Sen doesn't care anymore, it should be Ai Qingshan who let him back on purpose.

Both Qin Shengtao and Qiao Sanlang escaped from the ice city, but Zhao Changqing was safe and sound. Kageyama Jiro must find someone to take the blame.

And Zhao Changqing is the most suitable candidate.

……

Zhou Sen asked Anna to open another room at the Modern Hotel, and asked Natasha to come out to meet him. For some matters, it would be much more convenient for Anna to cover for him.

Moreover, he didn't want to make mistakes again and again, which would be very unfair to Natasha.

For such secret meetings, Anna would be brought with him, and a lot of trouble would be saved. At least, he would have an excuse not to stay alone in the room with Natasha for too long.

Just say what needs to be said.

"Don't worry, this time is different from last time. They don't have the time and opportunity to install bugs." Zhou Sen opened the door, let Natasha in, made coffee, and handed it over.

"I saw Martha, you came with her." Natasha nodded, the last dance was carefully arranged, this time it was temporary, it is impossible to place it in the room where they meet every time Stealth. Listening device.

Once is fine, come twice, Natasha is not an amateur agent who knows nothing, will she allow herself to be bugged?
