above the point of the knife

Chapter 40 Newcomer
"Zhou Sen-kun, you handled yesterday's incident very well. Kawara-kun asked me to thank you!" Akiyamanosuke called Zhou Sen to the office early in the morning and said.

Zhou Sen was flattered: "Yes, as a policeman, you should take the safety of the people as your own responsibility, especially the expatriates of the Japanese Empire. It is a humble honor to serve them."

"Yoxi, very good, Mr. Zhou Sen." Akiyamanosuke was very satisfied with Zhou Sen's attitude, "I heard that you invited Director Lin of the Special Affairs Section of the Police Department to dinner?"

"Yes, Director Lin has rich experience in investigating and solving cases, and he is familiar with the adoptive father of the humble official, so the latter specifically asked him for advice."

"Yuxi, it's a good thing that Zhou Senjun is so studious and motivated. I like you." Akiyamanosuke nodded and said.

"Thank you Mr. Akiyama for your compliment."

"As for the screening of whether Susanna is a Soviet Russian spy, you have to hurry up." Akiyama nosuke reminded, paused for a while, and asked again, "Have you found any clues about the murderer who killed Shelkin?"

"Xiaozhi went to the police department's morgue again to check Sherkin's body, and according to director Lin's reminder, there is a slight guess that our previous investigation may be in the wrong direction..."

"Wrong, where is it wrong?"

"Mr. Akiyama, if a normal person, like you and me, stood facing each other, it would cause a wound on Sherkin's right neck, and there is a high probability that he was left-handed, but Sherkin died on his bed. He was lying on the bed. The neck was cut off, that is to say, there is no need to consider the murderer's height, it may not necessarily be with the left hand, and it may even be the murderer deliberately misleading us." Zhou Sen explained.

"Oh, are you sure?"

"No, but after the murderer killed someone, he was able to carefully erase all traces, even the fingerprints on the cup Sherkin drank from. Generally, there is only one possibility, except for well-trained spy killers. The murderer is most likely a woman, because women are generally more careful."

"Nani?"

Akiyamanosuke was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect Zhou Sen to give him such an answer.

"Do you have any targets of suspicion?"

"When Shelkin was killed, the door locks of the room were intact. At the beginning we found traces of climbing in the chimney of the chimney, so we believed that the murderer entered through the chimney and escaped through the chimney after killing someone. Could it be that the murderer is misleading us in the direction of the investigation? If so, then there is only one possibility for this case, and that is an acquaintance committing the crime. The only suspect is Feya, the maid hired by the Shelkin family. According to my investigation, Feya has a Extremely alcoholic and beats her husband, although they are divorced, they have a son named Klaus who is a soldier in the White Russian Corps and costs a lot..."

"So, this Fei Ya has a motive for killing?"

"Although Feya needs money, she may not get what she wants by killing Shelkin. Moreover, Shelkin was killed by someone cutting his throat suddenly in a deep sleep state. If Feya killed the man, we must find out Otherwise, if we arrest the wrong person, you know that Commander Semyonov of the Belarusian team is not easy to talk to." Zhou Sen reminded.

"how do you want to do it?"

"I want to go to Shelkin's house again, bring back all his knives, and compare them with the wound on Shelkin's neck."

"How long will it take to finish this?"

"It will take three to five days." Zhou Sen said in embarrassment, "Besides, this still needs professional people to do it. I suggest that people from the Fingerprint Management Office of the Police Department do it?"

"Okay, let me coordinate. You go and get back all the knives in Sherkin's house, not one less." Akiyamanosuke nodded.

"Yes, I'll do it now."

……

"Hello, sir!" Coming down the stairs, Zhou Sen was stopped by two young men without any police rank, a man and a woman, who saluted him.

Zhou Sen nodded: "Needless to say, you are the two trainee police officers recommended to me by Section Chief Song, Hu Hao and Yao Yuling."

"Yes, sir."

"In front of outsiders, just call the officer. When there are no outsiders, call Sen brother or the boss. We are doing field work, just work harder, and there are not so many rules. If you two have nothing to do, just follow me." Go." Zhou Sen greeted.

"Yes, Brother Sen." Hu Hao adapts quickly and is familiar with him. Yao Yuling is a girl, a little shy, and a little reluctant to let go.

It's normal, newcomers are like this. When he first came to the police station to report, he was more nervous than the two of them.

"Did the police station provide you with guns?" Zhou Sen glanced at their waists.

"No, we are not official police officers yet, so we can't be equipped with guns yet, but we are equipped with patrol batons." Hu Hao explained, and Yao Yuling nodded beside him.

"It's fine if you don't have a gun. In fact, we basically don't need a gun when we patrol the streets." Zhou Sen said, "You will understand in the future, follow me to do things first."

Zhou Sen took Hu Hao and Yao Yuling directly to Sheerkin's house on Gogol Street, and asked Fei Ya, the housekeeper, to take out all the knives from the house.

Zhou Sen was still worried, and searched inside and out again.

All the knives were registered in size and purpose, and then they found a basket and brought them all back to the police station.

Zhou Sen did not arrest Fei Ya.

As long as the murder weapon matching the wound under Shelkin's neck cannot be found, there is no direct evidence to arrest Feya.

Of course, it’s not impossible to arrest. The police in the Puppet Manchukuo Bingcheng seldom handle cases based on evidence. They always want to arrest you. On the road.

Those who are on the right path may still have a chance to come out alive, those who are not on the right way will simply disappear from the world, and there are many unjust, false and wrong cases.

Chinese people's lives are like grass, and the situation in Belarus is not much better.

The original body was completely numb.

……

"San'er, how is it?" Back at the warehouse on Haicheng Street, Zhou Sen saw Ye San'er, who had just returned from patrol with Wu En.

"Brother, it's much better, it's just a skin trauma." The wounds on Ye San'er's face were all scarred, even though they were still a little ugly, but they were not disfigured.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Zhou Sen pulled Hu Hao and said, "This is Hu Hao, a top student from Bingcheng Police Academy. He will graduate in the first half of next year and come to our Nangang Police Station for an internship."

"The other one is a girl named Yao Yuling. Just like Hu Hao, she will temporarily follow our group. You are an old policeman. Take them with you, but you are not allowed to bully newcomers, understand?"

"My name is Ye San'er, welcome both of you!" Ye San'er introduced himself with a smile.

"Hi Brother Ye." Hu Hao called out.

"Don't call me that, just call me San'er, that's what they all call you. I am about the same age as you, but I have been a formal police officer for a few years longer than you." Ye San'er said modestly.

"Wuen, Hu Hao and Yao Yuling will be led by you first, and you will tell them about our team's work and rules, and then, from today onwards, they will patrol the streets with us." Zhou Sen called Wuen over , give an order.

"Yes, brother." Wu En didn't say much, and he absolutely obeyed Zhou Sen's orders.

"Brother, we have a new member in our team, do we have to celebrate at noon?" Ye San'er asked with a chuckle.

"Okay, how do you want to celebrate?" Zhou Sen asked after taking a sip of hot water and smiling.

"Why, I have to find a restaurant to have a meal?"

"But not at noon. I have an appointment with the eldest and second child of the Qing family for dinner. You should pay attention to eating at noon, and we will talk about it in the evening." Zhou Sen said.

"Brother, you invited the eldest and second child of the Qing family to dinner, why don't you bring me?" Ye San'er came up to him greedily.

"No." Zhou Sen rolled his eyes at him, "Stay well at home for me. If you cause trouble again, I'll let you fend for yourself. Anyway, I have enough people now."

Ye San'er shrank her head, smiled embarrassingly and dared not speak anymore, as if feeling a strong sense of crisis.

Hu Hao and Yao Yuling on the side looked at their conversation and expressions with curious expressions, but they didn't dare to open their mouths to ask more questions.

"Hu Hao, Yao Yuling, you two will go out with me on patrol." Wu En changed his clothes, equipped his police gear, and greeted the two newcomers, "I understand what, just ask, but remember one thing, no Order, do not act without authorization."

Wu En's meticulous expression is a bit like taking the lead. After experiencing what happened yesterday, this guy has become even less fond of talking.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity for him to change, and there is a price to pay for maturity.

"Brother, what about me?"

"You, go shopping and cook, otherwise what are you having for lunch today?" Zhou Sen snapped at him angrily.

……

When Gu Lao Liu came back, he saw Ye San'er playing with a fish, and gave him a hard look, apparently still angry with Ye San'er for going to the Taipingqiao Gambling House to play for money.

Ye San'er didn't dare to touch him, so she smiled and greeted him.

"Lao Liu is back, sit down and drink a glass of water." Zhou Sen poured a glass of water for Gu Lao Liu, pushed him over and said.

"Thank you, boss." Gu Laoliu picked up the water glass, put it down again, and said in a low voice, "Boss, you really guessed right, there is something wrong with Fei Ya, you guessed it, just after you left Shelkin's house , who did she go to see?"

"Susanna." Zhou Sen said a name with drooping eyelids.

"Boss, this Suzanne really has a problem. She came here on her own initiative. If she is a Soviet Russian spy, what is her purpose?" Gu Lao Liu was the only one who knew that "Susanna" was a Soviet Russian spy.

Of course, all of this was said by Akiyama Nosuke, and Zhou Sen was also skeptical. If Susanna was really a Soviet Russian spy, then she would be too courageous.

This is an undercover agent coming to the police, what do you want to do?
"Boss, do you want to catch it?" Gu Lao Liu rubbed his hands together and asked.

"Can Feya run?"

"That's not going to happen." Gu Lao Liu thought for a while, then shook his head.

"It's almost time, where are the brothers from the Qing family?" Zhou Sen glanced at the time and asked, "Don't worry about Fei Ya, she won't run, and she doesn't dare to run."

"The Tao's old shop on the front street, their stews are pretty good." Gu Lao Liu said.

"Come on, let's go."
