above the point of the knife

Chapter 353 Coping
"Wait, Chang Bo, you are from Chongqing, why did you send Malkovich to the Far East?" Zhou Sen raised his hand and asked.

"Although we still have contact with Chongqing, there are few instructions there, and we have tried to send Markovich to the customs, but it is too far away, and the road may not be safe, even if it can be sent safely. Even Markovich himself was unwilling, so he gave up this idea later, and there was only one way to choose, which was to send him north and return to Soviet Russia.” Chang Bo explained.

"Go on."

"We took small roads along the way. Although it takes a little longer, it is better to be safe. I have also walked this road before, so I am familiar with it..."

"Over the border, we used to go darts with the master. Some people we know, they used to cross the border frequently, and they had their own safe routes. The person I was looking for was called Duan Laosan. This person we had dealt with in the past, It’s more trustworthy to use money to do things, but I didn’t expect that this guy had secretly taken refuge in the Japanese long ago. On the surface, he took my money and promised to help me send Markovich out safely. If I hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid, both of us would have been caught by the Japanese and thrown into a black prison." Chang Bo gritted his teeth, touched the wound on his abdomen, and grinned in pain.

Zhou Sen quickly wanted to help him lie down, but was stopped by his hand: "I'm fine, it doesn't matter, wait until I finish talking."

"How about taking a break first, there is still time?"

"The youngest Duan secretly put medicine in our meals. Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong and ran away with Malkovich at night, but was caught up by the Japanese he brought. I let Malkovich Run first, and stay behind to block and rear. The Japanese may be trying to catch people alive, so they didn’t use guns. The leader of the Japanese major is a master of swordsmanship. I injured two people at once, and the major came up to fight with me. Under the leadership of Duan Laosan, the subordinates chased after Markovich. I underestimated this pony. I stabbed me, I wanted to kill him with one stab, but I didn't expect Duan Laosan to appear, so I had to retreat first and join Markovich. I was also thanks to this kid along the way, otherwise, I couldn't do anything Return to the ice city alive." Chang Bo briefly described the cause and effect.

"So, this Duan Lao San knows your identity?" Zhou Sen frowned when he heard this. This was simply the worst news.

"He doesn't know my real identity, because I haven't seen him before, I just heard that he has a way, and he is trustworthy, and he will do things for the money, so I found him." Chang Bo said.

Zhou Sen heaved a sigh of relief, this Duan Laosan should be the equivalent of a "snake head" who stowed away.

He only takes money to do things, but such people usually have a relationship between black and white, and most people take money to do things.

As for Malkovich, there was a problem at first glance, so Duan Laosan directly sold them to the Japanese.

And he not only earns a share from Changbo, but also receives another share from the Japanese. Anyway, Changbo and Malkovich will definitely not survive when they go to the Japanese, so why worry about it?

I'm afraid, he didn't expect Chang Bo to be so powerful, and his combat power was even more outrageous. He not only escaped the pursuit, but also cut off an arm of the Japanese.

But now not only to guard against revenge from Changbo, the Japanese might hate him too.

"That's okay. If the youngest Duan knew your identity, it would be troublesome. However, if he knew, I might have been targeted long ago." Zhou Sen analyzed.

"Uncle, Duan Laosan can't stay, he has to get rid of it."

"How can I get rid of it? Since the other person is not in Ice City, is it possible that I can still fly to JMS and kill him for you?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"Let Ale go."

"No, although Ah Le is your adopted son and has acquired all your abilities, but he is still a child after all. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. You should rest at ease and heal your wounds first." Zhou Sen vetoed.

"I'll leave when my injury is a little better."

"Do you want to leave? Wait for my notice. As long as you don't meet Sato Jun or Yamamoto Toshiro, no one will recognize you." Zhou Sen said, "From now on, you have to change your image."

"When I went to meet Duan Laosan, I put on a little makeup, but my makeup skills are not very good..."

Of course Zhou Sen knew that Chang Bo had put on makeup. From Sato Toshi's description, he knew that Chang Bo had not only grown a beard, but his hair had also turned white. However, familiar people could recognize him at a glance.

"Let me help you lie down and rest. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injury. I will do the rest." Zhou Sen said.

"Uncle, Miss..."

"Let me tell you, you don't have to worry." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, okay..." Chang Bo lay down, probably really tired, and after a while, he heard a slight snoring sound.

Zhou Sen also closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and dozed off.

After waking up several times at night, he found that Chang Bo was sleeping soundly. He touched his forehead, but he didn't find any signs of fever.

It seems that the most dangerous stage is over.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard someone knocking on the door. Zhou Sen quickly rubbed his face, opened the door, and found that it was A Le and A Xiang who came together.

Ah Le came to change shifts, and Ah Xiang naturally delivered breakfast to Zhou Sen and Chang Bo. In fact, his breakfast was so-called, just find a shop on the street to deal with it.

However, the breakfast made at home is different, nutritious and delicate.

Zhou Sen washed up quickly, then ate the breakfast that Ah Xiang brought, and then told Ah Le who was feeding Changbo's breakfast, and left the hospital.

Wu En parked the car on the road opposite the hospital gate.

"Let's go first..." Zhou Sen didn't go directly to the police station to work, but reported an address and asked Wu En to drive him there.

Ai Qingshan rented a yard near the station as a warehouse to store the medicinal materials he bought. He is in the wholesale business, so he doesn't need a front office, a warehouse that can store medicinal materials is enough.

This yard can be used as a warehouse as well as a place for people to live in, so he simply moved out of the hotel and lived in, saving a lot of expenses.

Very few people know where this warehouse is, and Ai Qingshan's business has not yet spread out, and he doesn't want to let people know too much.

Zhou Sen asked Wu En to park the car in an alley not far from the warehouse, and he himself got out of the car and walked for nearly 100 meters before arriving at the back door of the yard where the warehouse is located.

Ai Qingshan is a Lianjiazi, and Lianjiazi usually doesn't sleep in late, and his life is extremely regular.

At this moment, after practicing boxing, he was sweating a little. He was washing up in the yard, and he would go out after breakfast.

In addition to him, there were two fellows living in the warehouse. Naturally, these two fellows were his own, specially assigned to him by the political commissar, and they were both innocent and well-known.

They respectfully called Ai Qingshan "The Master".

"Boss, it's time to eat." The young boy, who was wearing a sleeveless gown, shouted at the top of his voice.

Although it is already early summer, the temperature in Bingcheng is not high, it looks like seventeen or eight degrees, if it can't bear it, it can freeze people badly.

"Here we come." Ai Qingshan promised, poured out the water in the washbasin, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

In an instant, there was a tense and chilling atmosphere in the yard.

"Adong, take a look." Ai Qingshan ordered.

The guy named A Dong nodded, bent down and took out a dagger from the roll of his trousers, pinned it behind him, and walked towards the door.

First, he glanced out through the gap in the door. When he saw Zhou Sen, he naturally recognized him. He quickly inserted the dagger back in, reached out and lifted the latch, and opened the door.

When Ai Qingshan saw A Dong's action, he knew that at least he was someone he knew, not a stranger, and his heart naturally fell.

When he saw that Zhou Sen came in from the outside, he was also a little surprised. Although Zhou Sen was not unavoidable, it was just that it was strange to come at this time.

"Why are you here?" Ai Qingshan put down the washbasin and towel, walked towards Zhou Sen, and greeted him.

"If I need something, go in and tell me." Zhou Sen couldn't help but dragged Ai Qingshan to the house where he lived.

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet..."

Ai Qingshan was forced into the house by Zhou Sen.

"Brother Qingshan, there is a very difficult matter that needs you to do, and only you can do it." Zhou Sen said seriously.

"Don't, what you asked me to do, maybe you dug some kind of hole and waited for me, or let's talk about it first, what is it?"

"Changbo is in trouble. He chopped off the arm of a Japanese major." Zhou Senyu said in surprise.

"What?" Ai Qingshan's eyes widened when he heard the words, apparently he was quite frightened by the news.

"He was injured himself, and now he is recuperating in our hospital. At present, the Japanese major is also in Ice City. Next, the Japanese will probably not let him go. Therefore, we have to find a way to cut off all the Japanese. Investigate clues." Zhou Sen said.

"How to cut it off?"

"I'll take care of the injured Japanese major, but you have to deal with those who have been in contact with Chang Bo and who may provide clues," Zhou Sen said.

"Well, how to deal with this?"

"First, Chang Bo escorted a fleeing Soviet prisoner back to the Far East to encounter the Japanese. Chang Bo arranged for this Soviet prisoner to hide in Shuangcheng. You have to find him and take him to a safe place. Arrangement, secondly, do you know there is a man named Duan Laosan?"

"Duan Laosan, I've heard of this person, what's the matter?"

"It is he who betrayed Chang Bo, and he is the one who can testify against Chang Bo. He is an important witness and cannot be allowed to live." Zhou Sen said.

"This is not an easy task, and besides, how do I know where this Duan Lao San is?" Ai Qingshan said with a solemn expression.

"I will help you with this, but I only provide information, but you have to solve it." Zhou Sen said.

Ai Qingshan froze for a moment, then nodded immediately.

"The first thing, you have to do it right away. You can't let this Soviet prisoner fall into the hands of the Japanese, otherwise, not only Chang Bo, but Yulan and I will have to flee to the end of the world." Zhou Sen said.

Ai Qingshan could hear the urgency of the situation. Changbo was also his elder, and he was dealing with the Japanese. How could he stand by and watch?

"I'll pack up and set off right away, but how can this Soviet prisoner follow me?" Ai Qingshan asked.

"After they separated, they left their contact information and codes, reserved for the possibility that Uncle Chang might not be able to go." Zhou Sen said, "As long as you can match the codes, the other party will naturally follow you."

"Well, what about the password?"

"When you see Malkovich, ask, how many moles are there on the back of Duan Laosan's neck? He will answer, one big and one small, two in total."

"What kind of code word is this? Could it be that Duan Laosan really has two moles, one big and one small, on the back of his neck?" Ai Qingshan asked with a strange expression.

"Of course not. There is only a mole on the back of Duan Laosan's neck and under his left ear. It is as big as a copper coin. It should be a birthmark or something." Zhou Sen said.

"I understand. This is a deliberate misuse. People who really know the situation may not be able to tell the truth." Ai Qingshan nodded.

"That's the thing. After you receive this Markovich, send him to the old camp. He knows the place himself. You should also drop by to learn about the situation there." Zhou Sen Said.

"I know the old camp, it's an abandoned forest farm, in the depths of Erlong Mountain (this is a random fabrication), I have stayed there before, but the road is not easy to walk, a flash flood washed away the original road, felling The timber could not be transported out, and the cost of dredging was too high, so the forest farm was abandoned.” Ai Qingshan said.

"Since you know each other, it's even better. You need to bring some supplies into the mountain, at least to guarantee Malkovich's life needs for a month."

"Can he live independently? That's a forest area, and only experienced hunters can survive."

"You don't have to worry about this. If he didn't have this ability, he would have been captured and beheaded by the Japanese long ago." Zhou Sen said.

"Since that's the case, what about the funding for my mission?" Ai Qingshan immediately asked Zhou Sen for money as soon as he reached out his hand.

"Don't you have any money?"

"If I had money, I wouldn't come to Bingcheng to do business with you." Ai Qingshan said, "It's not like you don't know how difficult life is for the anti-Japanese team in Beiman now?"

In desperation, Zhou Sen took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the money inside, left some small change, and stuffed the big bills into Ai Qingshan's hands, "That's all I have on hand, it should be enough for you to buy supplies."

"Thank you, if you don't say that your brother-in-law Komori is rich, compared to you, I am poor." Ai Qingshan unceremoniously rolled up the money and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Be careful when buying supplies, don't be targeted by others, buy from several companies, and don't just buy from one." Zhou Sen reminded.

"Don't worry, I still understand the truth."
