Chapter 370 Erase hidden dangers ([-])

"You're back, why are you drinking so much?" Anna hadn't slept yet and had been waiting at home. When she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

Smelling Zhou Sen's smell of alcohol, he couldn't help but frowned.

"I didn't drink much at the celebration banquet. I found another place to drink with Qian Yanbo and Bei Dao later." Zhou Sen explained.

"The wine at the celebration banquet is not enough for you to drink, so why don't you come out and drink alone?"

"We're not the protagonists, so we slipped out early." Zhou Sen threw his coat on the chair, unbuttoned his chest, picked up the kettle on the table, and drank from the spout.

"I've boiled hot water for you, take a quick shower." Anna put away Zhou Sen's coat without asking any further questions. The smell of alcohol made her unable to wear it the next day and had to wash it.

"Okay, put the clothes down, I'll wash them myself."

Anna listened to him, put it away, and walked out. Zhou Sen also felt helpless and could only sigh.

Next, Zhou Sen took a break from his job at JMS. Toshi Yamamoto meant that this trip to Taipinggou was hard work, so let him take a good rest.

Zhou Sen knew that it was Toshi Yamamoto who deliberately dismissed him from the case, and he didn't care. Anyway, he was not very interested in this case.

He didn't need to work, he wandered around the street every day, and bought what he liked when he saw it.

However, I have walked the streets and alleys of JMS all over the place, and I have gained a lot.

Finally, Krasnov came, bringing a total of three trucks, of course, he did not come empty.

They also specially transported some goods from the ice city.

Just because the boss needed it, he made this business trip, so that no one noticed that he came here on purpose.

This is also what Zhou Sen ordered. If it is too deliberate, it will easily attract the attention of others.

My own transportation company, my own business, this person came to see the boss, Zhou Sen, who is also in the process of cleaning up.

Zhou Sen is Krasnov's boss now, so the title will naturally change.

"This is some change of clothes my wife asked me to bring to you, as well as coffee, she's afraid you won't be able to drink it here, and cigarettes..." Krasnov brought a lot of things to Zhou Sen, mainly white jade. Lan asked him to take it.

"Half of it is US dollars, and the other half is gold bars." Finally, Krasnov took out a box and said solemnly.

Zhou Sen opened it, took a look, and nodded. These dollars and gold bars were for Qian Yanbo, Bei Dao Jiro and others.

Zhou Sen closed the box: "I won't keep you for dinner. Pack your things and leave right away. Don't drive directly to Bingcheng. Let Qin Lang send a car to pick up the car. You empty the car and go back."

"Boss, is it necessary to be so cautious?"

"It's better to be cautious. These things are very valuable. If you ship them all at once, you won't be able to sell them at a high price. If you ship them slowly, if you meet someone who knows the goods, maybe one item will make me get back my money." Zhou Sen said.

"Understood, we loaded the goods overnight and set off overnight." Krasnov nodded, expressing that he would definitely follow Zhou Sen's instructions.

……

"What Bei Dao-kun means is that they won't be given the shares of Chief Nishihara and Director Sato." Zhou Sen took US dollars and gold bars and asked Bei Dao Erlang and Qian Yanbo out.

Kitajima Jiro actually proposed to toast Nishihara and Sato Toshi regardless of money.

Indeed, Bei Dao Erlang was dissatisfied with the neglect at the celebration banquet. What if he was still not satisfied with the money given to him?
But Zhou Sen can't say that they don't give them any money. Kitajima Jiro's proposal is in the middle of his heart, and they can't be separated. However, under Zhou Sen's proposal, the two investments belonging to Nishihara and Sato Jun will be used to set up a grain processing factory. , Zhou Sen accounted for 40.00% of the shares, Qian Yanbo and Sato Jun each accounted for 30.00%, named "Senji" Grain Processing Co., Ltd., Qian Yanbo served as the general manager.

This time, the interests of the three were completely tied together.

Of course, on the surface, Zhou Sen is the investor of this grain processing factory, and Qian Yanbo is in charge of the operation. In fact, Zhou Sen is only the major shareholder, and Qian Yanbo and Bei Dao are both shareholders.

Zhou Sen is rich, invested and built a factory in JMS, and is also engaged in grain processing. This is his family's old line of business, so it will not arouse suspicion in the slightest.

Thus, a small league was formed.

Nishihara and Yamamoto Toshiro, if they want to fight for credit, go for it, whatever they like.

After another three days, news came from the police station in a small town below that a western medicine clinic in the town had been stolen in the middle of the night.

The loss was small, but the stolen medicines were all medicines for treating knife wounds and gunshot wounds. The sale of such medicines needs to be recorded. Unidentified people are not allowed to buy them. This is strictly regulated by the Manchukuo authorities.

Others may not be too sensitive to this news, maybe a small clinic lost some medicines, and the quantity is not large, maybe the thief thought the western medicines were valuable, so they stole them and sold them on the black market.

This is indeed possible in a big city like Ice City, but thieves generally don't do this. Once caught, they will be arrested as "anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese" elements. of.

But in small places, this is a big deal, so the local authorities immediately reported it to the JMS branch.

Toshi Yamamoto has always been sensitive to details, and when he heard the news, he took people to the town called Sanlitun overnight.

When Zhou Sen got the news, it was half a day later than him, and he only followed him the next morning.

This time even Bei Dao was dissatisfied with Toshi Yamamoto. He was originally the one who was investigating this case, but Zhou Sen was sent to assist him later.

At that time, he was also unhappy, but after getting along with Zhou Sen, he found that Zhou Sen was a nice person, not only gave him enough respect, but also gave him a lot of money, and even gave him most of the credit.

Such a person, even if he is a Manchurian, can be dealt with. It is much better than some officials who always know how to strive for merit and suffer hardships.

Seeing that the case has progressed, he couldn't wait to come over to claim the credit, and even now he took someone over without even knowing the news.

This is too much, we have shown that we will not compete with you for this credit, and you are still so wary, you are treating us as a thief.

If it wasn't for the high level of the opponent and the Japanese, Jiro Bei Dao would have lost his temper and would have gone to Sanlitun with Zhou Sen.

When we arrived at Sanlitun, it was already night.

Zhou Sen and Jiro Kitajima went to see Toshi Yamamoto to find out about the situation, and they all came, so it was natural to ask.

It's not easy for Toshi Yamamoto to hide it.

I briefly talked about the situation, saying that two days ago, a clinic called "Renhe" Hall in the town reported to the police station, saying that his medicine cabinet was stolen and some medicines and consumables were lost.

It is mainly used to treat trauma, and the focus is on sulfa powder for anti-inflammation, which is a controlled drug.

There are strict regulations on the use and sale, and only one clinic in the town has this medicine.

The boss lost the medicine, but he didn't dare not report it. If it is found out, he will be the one who is unlucky.

The police from the town police station went to the clinic to check, but only took pictures, did not block the scene, and then let the clinic continue to operate.

The number of missing medicines is not very large. There are about four bottles of normal saline, gauze for bandaging, alcohol for disinfection, etc. The most valuable is a pack of sulfa powder, and there are also some hemostatic medicines and antipyretics.

The person who stole was a person who knew medicine, and he didn't touch any other medicines. All he took away were medicines for treating trauma and complications.

This means that this person is injured or his partner is injured and needs medicine. If there is no secret that cannot be hidden, he can come to the clinic directly and ask the doctor to treat him. Of course, it is also possible that he has no money and can only obtain it by stealing. drug.

What ordinary people can see, Toshi Yamamoto saw more. After he came, he not only asked the owner of the clinic to question him all morning, but also brought back the list of the clinic's visits from the previous three days to his residence.

Zhou Sen wanted to see the detailed transcript of the interview, but Toshi Yamamoto didn't give it to him, only a part of it.

Although he did it very cleverly, Zhou Sen could still tell that there were some incoherent questions in the transcript, which were obviously intercepted.

The key question, he didn't want Zhou Sen to see it.

Zhou Sen didn't mind either. Ai Qingshan and Ale must have caused the drug theft incident. They have already started to take action, and he needs to cooperate.

His cooperation is to stimulate Toshi Yamamoto, press every step of the way, making him feel a sense of urgency.

The more he wants to preemptively, the judgment will be wrong.

Zhou Sen then asked Kitajima Jiro to call the boss of the clinic over, and asked the same question as Toshi Yamamoto asked.

With Toshi Yamamoto's suspicion, he will definitely call the clinic boss over for questioning again. When the time comes, what he gets is the same as what he asked, and he will definitely become suspicious.

Zhou Sen then began to non-stop investigate the knowledge of the people around the clinic, asking each family, every detail...

After Toshi Yamamoto got the news, he immediately felt a little pressure, and immediately arranged for people to expand the investigation, especially the strangers who appeared in the town recently.

This investigation really allowed him to find some clues. Two days before the clinic was stolen, a foreigner came to the town. In Beiman, foreigners are not uncommon. Said to be foreigners.

And these days, foreigners who can speak Chinese are not uncommon, but there are not too many in recent years. Most of them live in big cities, but some like to walk around. Small towns on the border are very common.

Therefore, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. The main reason was that this foreigner was a stranger, and he appeared as a missionary. He was a young man.

Toshi Yamamoto took the profile of the face that Zhou Sen had drawn for Toshi Sato and asked someone who had seen the missionary.

Say one word: Like.

But this time Zhou Sen was one step ahead of him, and led Bei Dao Erlang to chase after him along the clues he was looking for.

Zhou Sen naturally discovered the mark left by A Le, and followed him all the way. Behind him, Yamamoto Toshi also followed him anxiously.

"Director Yamamoto, are you here too?" Zhou Sen and the others had just settled down in a deserted temple when they heard loud footsteps outside.

It was Toshi Yamamoto who arrived with people.

"Zhou Sen-jun, although he was a step late, he finally caught up." Toshi Yamamoto said with a smile.

"It's not too late for a good meal. Director Yamamoto can always arrive in time." Zhou Sen chuckled and said disapprovingly, "However, I think it's okay to take it easy. I always feel that the clues come too easily, and they all disappear so quickly." It's time, why did it suddenly appear?"

"Do you suspect fraud?"

"Director Yamamoto, if they deliberately used Duan Laosan to lure Chief Sato out last time, will they repeat the same trick this time?"

"Impossible. I have asked Sato-kun and Duan Laosan carefully. It was not a premeditated design at all. It was just an accident. They only showed up now. It should be that Mr. Yi's injury has worsened, and that Soviet Russian spy Marko Vicki had no choice but to show off. He was just a military doctor and obviously had no special training, so he left so many traces for us to catch. But that old guy is very powerful, and he can lead us by the nose. He must be extraordinary. !” Yamamoto said decisively.

"Director Yamamoto, I think it's better for us to be more cautious. Since the opponent is so powerful, how could he easily let us catch the tail?" Zhou Sen said.

"If Mr. Zhou Sen is afraid, there is no need to follow." Toshi Yamamoto snorted coldly.

Zhou Sen smiled. He was not very timid in the first place, and he was known for being timid and cautious, so he didn't argue any more.

Go back and sit with Jiro Kitajima.

"Zhou Senjun, you kindly reminded him just now that it's too much for him to say that about you." Bei Dao Erlang was also dissatisfied.

"Forget it, I've always disliked enmity with others, and he's my superior, I've reminded him to the best of my ability," Zhou Sen said.

Look at this, Yamamoto Toshi will definitely take the first step tomorrow morning, and it's time to inform Ai Qingshan and the others to make a move.

"You are still too generous." Jiro Bei Dao said sincerely.

"Go to sleep, I'll get up early tomorrow morning." Zhou Sen replied with a slight smile, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Jiro Bei Dao arranged for his men to be vigilant, and he also stepped aside, got into the tent and lay down.

When he woke up early the next morning, Toshi Yamamoto led his men to take the first step, and slipped away quietly.

Jiro Bei Dao was stunned, this was too much, it was shameless.

"Zhou Sen-jun, I can understand your mood now." Jiro Bei Dao gave Zhou Sen a sympathetic look.

"Bei Dao-kun, we probably won't be able to catch up, so let's not be in a hurry. Anyway, we haven't thought about what to do. Let's have breakfast first. After eating, we will have the strength to go on the road." Zhou Sen shook his head, and Yamamoto Min did so. Right in his arms.

"Zhou Senjun, are you just throwing in the towel?"

"Mr. Bei Dao, there is an old saying in China, wake up early in the morning and work in the evening, even if he is one step ahead of us, he may not be able to gain anything, but we are full of food and drink and have strength. , This is called sharpening a knife without cutting firewood by mistake." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"Yes, sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping wood."

Zhou Sen was just delaying time on purpose, so that he could distance himself from Toshi Yamamoto and his party and give Ai Qingshan and the others enough time to solve the problem.
