above the point of the knife

Chapter 356
The meals on the train are delicious and limited, but ordinary people will bring their own food when they take the train, and they will not eat the meals on the train.

It was too expensive. After a meal, it might be worth the price of a train ticket in his hand. For a person who has to pay for a long trip, how can he be willing to spend this money.

Zhou Sen is different.

He has money, if he doesn't spend the money, the money may not be able to stay in the end, only the money spent is called money.

The amount of food on the train is much less than outside, at least one-third less, and Wu En is a big eater.

Eat more, but it can also fight hunger.

Zhou Sen ordered four dishes, one soup, and five bowls of rice, and Wu En finished three bowls of rice and two-thirds of the dishes by himself.

Zhou Sen and Anna ate less than a third of it.

Of course, with Wu En here, there is no need to worry about wasting food. The proper CD operation, the waiter will take the plate back, and there is no need to wash it, and the food will be served directly.

Just like this, Wu En estimated that he was about [-]% full after eating, and [-]% full for dinner is enough, too full is not good for the body.

After dinner, I went back to the carriage and checked, but no one came.

Having just eaten and couldn't sleep, Anna suggested playing chess, but this is a business trip, so who can bring a set of chess pieces with her.

Unexpectedly, Anna actually brought a pair of black and white pieces in the box. What was she thinking? Could it be that she can play Go?
Zhou Sen's own chess skills are not very good. If he hadn't played against Suzuki Yoshio, he had worked hard to tutor for a while.

He is a stinky chess basket.

But to be Anna's opponent is barely enough.

The lights in the carriage were not too bright. Zhou Sen drew the curtains on the mountains and forests whizzing by outside the window, and the dangling human eyes.

Started a chess game with Anna.

"Steven..."

"It's Zhou Sen."

"Isn't this not in Ice City? I just want to call you Steven. What's the matter? Natasha can call you, but I can't?" Anna said dissatisfied.

"It's up to you, but it's not allowed to call you in public." Zhou Sen didn't worry too much about a title, it's all in the past tense and doesn't mean much.

"Before I left, Toshi Yamamoto looked for me." Anna whispered as she settled down.

Zhou Sen caught a sunspot between his fingers, was slightly taken aback, and then quickly said, "What did he say?"

"He asked me to watch all your actions in JMS, especially where you have been, who you have met, and what you have said." Anna said.

"How did you get back?"

"Of course I agreed." Anna said, "If I refuse, he will definitely not let me go. Also, even if I don't agree, it's useless, and he doesn't necessarily believe my report."

"For the Japanese, you and I are both aliens. Even if they trust us, their trust will be discounted. What's more, we are still engaged in this industry, and we simply cannot trust people easily."

"Steven, do you trust me?" Anna asked.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"of course."

"I can hand over my back to you at the moment of life and death, if you and I have the same interests." Zhou Sen said slowly.

"You mean, if I disagree with you, you won't be able to trust me?" Anna asked.

"Ask yourself, in that case, would you trust me unconditionally?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"I will." Anna said without hesitation.

Zhou Sen was completely stunned. Anna's answer surprised him. He was very clear about Anna's identity. Although he was a partner with Anna, his trust in Anna was only at work, and in some respects, he needed it the most. She is the one on guard.

"Steven, no matter what, I will never betray you. Please believe me on this point." Anna said solemnly.

"Thank you for your trust, I understand." Zhou Sen could only answer like this first.

"You were transferred to JMS obviously by Toshi Yamamoto behind the scenes, but I don't know what he's going to do this time." Anna didn't continue to entangle on that issue, but brought the topic to their next mission to JMS.

"It should be related to the injury of the head of the JMS agency, Sato Jun, who was attacked." Zhou Sen said.

"But, what does this have to do with us? Could it be that we were asked to come over and catch the murderer for him?" Anna said, "The work of solving crimes and arresting people does not belong to us, and besides, we have no experience in this field. .”

"Didn't we work together to solve the case of Shelkin's murder?"

"It's been so long, why are you still talking about that?" Anna said with embarrassment, she was caught by Zhou Sen himself, if she hadn't obeyed orders, she would have been a pile of dead bones in the grave up.

"Since you're here, you'll be safe. Let's find a place to stay when we're here, and then we'll see Captain Nishihara. Then we'll know what the superiors asked us to do," Zhou Sen said.

"Well, last time we passed by JMS, I heard that there are many Russians living there, so I'm going to have a look." Anna said.

"Well, if you want to go, of course you can." Zhou Sen chuckled. Anna actually has no friends. She is Russian, adopted by the Japanese, and trained as an agent. With her western face, it is difficult to integrate into Japanese society, especially She is still a woman, and she is serving the Japanese again, so she is destined not to be accepted by the mother clan. She is actually quite lonely in this world.

Talking by hand is a very brain-intensive job. After three rounds, two rounds are completed. Looking at the time, it is almost ten o'clock in the evening.

At this time, most of the carriages are closed for rest.

Zhou Sen also felt a little sleepy, so he also stopped the chess game and prepared to rest.

Soon, apart from the regular sound of the wheels colliding with the rails, there were only subtle and imperceptible snoring sounds in the carriage.

This train also needs to stop at the station at night, so the speed is not fast, and it is not bad to be able to run forty kilometers.

Therefore, when we arrived at the JMS station, it was already eight o'clock the next morning.

The train station is not big, the platform is the next step, and then pass through a fence, which is considered to be out of the station, three people are carrying four suitcases, just standing on the curb.

JMS should have known that they were here, but they didn't send anyone or a car to pick them up.

Of course, picking people up with great fanfare would expose them, so Bingcheng simply didn't notify them to pick them up at the train station.

It doesn't matter, no one picks up, so I feel more comfortable.

"Let's find a place to stay first, and it won't be too late to move after we see Captain Nishihara and arrange a place to stay," Zhou Sen said.

goooo...

Wu En's stomach has been hungry for a long time, and he has been holding it back, but he didn't make it scream, and now he can't hold it anymore.

"Hungry, find a restaurant to eat first, and ask for directions by the way."

"Ok."

The four of them turned into a street with their suitcases in their hands. Zhou Sen had a good nose. The man who opened the door for breakfast released a scent, so he could find it by smelling it.

Came to a sesame seed stall, there was a noodle restaurant next door, this was good, Zhou Sen bought six sesame seed cakes, and ordered three bowls of beef noodles for the three of them at the noodle restaurant.

Anna couldn't finish a bowl of beef noodles, so she took half of the bowl and gave it to Wu En. Then Zhou Sen and Anna only ate one sesame seed cake, and Wu En took all the remaining four.

Looking at Wu En who was stroking his stomach contentedly, Zhou Sen could only shake his head helplessly. It is really stressful to have such a big eater at home. He eats so much that he grows up to three people.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work, so Wu En carried the two heaviest boxes by himself and followed behind Zhou Sen and Anna.

The Japanese Kwantung Army secret service agency of JMS is located in a foreign company, and the secret service agency has always used business as a cover.

After Zhou Sen and the others inquired about the address, they found a hotel called "Spring Breeze" across the street and booked three rooms.

After settling down, Wu En was left to guard. After all, they carried a radio station, which was used to communicate with Ice City and also with the hunters in Khabarovsk. He had to keep abreast of that Case.

Also, with this radio station, he can get in touch with Saburo Shibuya in Xinjing at any time.

Even if someone wanted to cut off his external contact, it couldn't be done.

Zhou Sen and the others did not reveal their identities as police officers, but registered as ordinary business travellers, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to themselves.

Pine Forest Company.

The two-story brick-concrete building facing the street looks like a European architectural style, with people coming and going.

Looks like business is going well.

Zhou Sen put on makeup, a gray cloth robe, and a pair of polite black sunglasses. Anna didn't come with him.

"Sir, what do you want?" A young staff member in a white shirt, blue vest and bow tie came up to greet him.

As soon as I heard the other person's accent, I knew it was a Japanese.

"I'm looking for your general manager Xiyuan. I'm his guest. If you tell me my surname is Zhou, he will know." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, wait a moment." The clerk hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, "I'll report to you."

After waiting for a few minutes, a man in his 30s with slightly bald hair and about the height of his nose came down from the stairs. He looked like a businessman with a round stomach.

In fact, he is Lieutenant Fu Nishihara Junichiro, an officer of the JMS branch of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department, a serious intelligence officer. He is engaged in spy work in the JMS area as a businessman, and is Sato Toshi's deputy and assistant.

Junichiro Nishihara had received a notice from his superiors a long time ago, saying that a policeman named "Zhou Sen" would come to him today.

If it's just a policeman, or just a police lieutenant, he can't look down on him. After all, the police lieutenant of the Manchukuo police is nothing to him. Even the chief of the JMS police station has to be respectful when he comes to see him. Yes, that's the Sergeant.

But this Zhou Sen also has another identity, that is, he is a student of Saburo Shibuya, the current Deputy Minister of Public Security of Manchukuo.

Shibuya Saburo is now a man with the power of the Manchukuo Army and the police constitution. The people who came are his students, which is different.

As for Zhou Sen's other identities, this is beyond his ability to know, and it is beyond his ability to interfere with what people come to JMS to do.

He is just a messenger, and he has to cooperate with the other party. As for how to cooperate, it depends on the other party's performance and his own mood.

Zhou Sen had never met Junichiro Nishihara, but with his people-observing skills, he recognized him at a glance, and this was the person in front of him.

There is no need for Nishihara Junichiro to get someone to act to deceive himself, unless he is full of food.

The other party is Japanese, and Zhou Sen is a Manchurian, let alone on his land now, so he has to keep it a little longer.

"Mr. Nishihara." Zhou Sen came forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.

This is Matsubayashi Co., Ltd., not a military and political institution, so naturally Junichiro Nishihara cannot be called by his position or military rank.

"It's Zhou Sen, boss Zhou?"

"It's right down there."

"I've heard about Boss Zhou's name for a long time, and I'm sorry, let's talk upstairs?" Junichiro Nishihara said, clasping his hands together.

The two came upstairs to Junichiro Nishihara's office.

Junichiro Nishihara asked his subordinates to make a cup of tea and bring it in, and then asked Zhou Sen to sit down on the reception sofa.

Facing Junichiro Nishihara with his legs crossed, Zhou Sen bent his knees and sat down neatly.

"Yesterday, I received a call from Chief Sato, saying that you are coming, Zhou Sang. I didn't expect you to come so soon." Junichiro Nishihara said.

"After receiving the order, I didn't dare to delay, so I came here." Zhou Sen hurriedly explained.

"Yeah." Nishihara Junichiro nodded, "When Chief Sato was chasing down two important criminals, he was seriously injured and even broke an arm. You know about this, right?"

"I know, but the details are still unclear."

"I heard that Zhou Sang is the favorite student of Chief Shibuya?"

"I dare not, I just studied under Shibuya teacher for a while." Zhou Sen said modestly.

"Well, since Chief Sato recommended you to come here, you must have some skills. Now the JMS agency is short of manpower, and Chief Sato is recuperating from his injuries. As for me, I am not good at investigating cases, and I don't trust the local police special affairs department enough. "Nishihara Junichiro said.

"Why is this?"

"This involves a case, you will understand when you understand the specific situation." Junichiro Nishihara chuckled without explaining too much.

It's not good for Zhou Sen to keep asking, anyway, he's here, and if he should know, he will definitely let him know.

Otherwise, what is the purpose of transferring him all the way here?

"Then, Chief Nishihara, do you want me to investigate this case with full authority, or let me assist?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Naturally, I will give you full responsibility. I will give you the status of entrustment to facilitate your actions in JMS." Said Junichiro Nishihara.

"Then besides the two colleagues I brought, is there anyone else to cooperate with me?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Of course." Nishihara Junichiro nodded, "I'll arrange two assistants for you, one is Qian Yanbo, deputy chief of the Criminal Division of the JMS Police Station, and the other is Second Lieutenant Bei Dao of the local Gendarmerie. You can ask Deputy Section Chief Qian to assist. He is a local, familiar with the situation, and needs support. You can ask Second Lieutenant Bei Dao to come forward. Tonight, I will invite the two of you to meet Zhou Sang at the JMS restaurant in the city. At that time, you can Getting acquainted."

"Yes, I will follow Mr. Nishihara's arrangement." Zhou Sen nodded. He had just arrived and needed to adjust his position.

"Well, I heard that you still have an assistant, why didn't you see her come with you?" Nishihara Junichiro asked.

"She is a Russian. It is inevitable that she will attract attention when she comes in and out of here. I let her wait at the inn." Zhou Sen explained.

"Well, Zhou Sang is thoughtful, and she really has a plan!" Nishihara Junichiro praised, and then changed his tone, "But she must attend the reception banquet tonight."

"That is, I will definitely bring him here." Zhou Sen nodded.
