above the point of the knife

Chapter 410 It's a matter of human effort
Ice City is not that big, but compared to big cities like Shanghai and Beiping, it is much smaller, and it is not that small.

In the puppet Manchukuo, Bingcheng can be said to be the first big city to stand out.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for a city to have one or two more relatives who do not know or have never met.

After living for decades, it is normal to suddenly have a new relative in the family. Who doesn't have a relative who hasn't been in touch for decades?
After the fifth service, there will be many relatives with the same surname. As long as the family is separated, it is normal that they will not see each other for a lifetime.

What's more, relatives like Bai Tailai, if it wasn't for some business contacts between the two families, it is estimated that they would never have met in this lifetime.

Bai Yulan didn't do "food" business in the past, and the demand for food raw materials was very small. Ordinary people buy salt, sugar, etc., so they still have to find wholesalers to supply them?
After the "Sen" Ji grows bigger, the amount of raw materials required will increase. It is more cost-effective to find wholesalers to get the goods directly, and the cost will also be reduced.

In this way, if you can't write two "white" characters in one stroke, you can continue the relationship.

Regarding business matters, Zhou Sen is also a hands-off shopkeeper, and he never wants to intervene too much, so it's normal for him not to know.

"Give me the invitation from Bai Tailai, and I will deliver it myself." Zhou Sen thought for a while and said to Bai Yulan.

"You want to go in person?" Bai Yulan was quite surprised.

"Don't worry, I'm not biased. I have something to talk to this Bai Tai in person, so I gave the invitation to save Chang Bo a trip." Zhou Sen explained.

"Let me tell you, why are you sending invitations when you have nothing to do..." Bai Yulan muttered.

"Recently, have you been in contact with Binjiang Station?" Zhou Sen asked.

"We don't have anything to do here. We won't contact you once in ten and a half months. After the 'Iron Blood Society' case, they dare not take the lead easily, and there is no special task for them from above. I guess they are just waiting."

"Is that why you don't do anything?"

"Just relying on them, what can they do?" Bai Yulan said disdainfully, "With just a few people, if they use the methods in the pass here, isn't that asking for trouble?"

"It's normal to make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you just need to correct it. We can't be so mean. After all, we are in the same boat." Zhou Sen chuckled.

"As long as it doesn't implicate me, they can do whatever they like."

"Actually, it's quite difficult for them to do something. They don't have a foundation like you, and they can't sink down to the grassroots. If they want to make contributions quickly, they can only use other means to open the way. Usually, it is money and beauty. These two points are only in Chongqing. No side can give them support, so their life is actually not easy." Zhou Sen analyzed.

"They still have funds, and I am self-sufficient here." Bai Yulan said, "How do you plan to explain the case of the 'Iron Blood Society' to the Japanese?"

"It's normal for me not to be able to find out a case that others can't find out, what do you think?" Zhou Sen chuckled.

"That's right. This case was handled by Bai Ganzi before. He didn't find out. After half a year, I asked you to investigate again. If you didn't find out, it's normal." Bai Yulan nodded.

What Zhou Sen didn't say was that even if the Binjiang Station of the military command was found, he didn't plan to move. It would be good to serve as a shield for Bai Yulan, the "skate" team.

"Why are there so many White Russians on your list?"

"They are my old friends. This time, I will take this opportunity to get in touch and get together." Zhou Sen explained.

"Anyway, I don't know him, so you can figure it out." Bai Yulan nodded.

"What do you think about receiving and returning gifts?"

"Are there any customs and particularities here? I really don't understand this aspect." Zhou Sen spread his hands, he really doesn't understand this aspect.

"Otherwise, ask Aunt Chun tomorrow?"

"Alright." Zhou Sen looked at his watch, "It's getting late, shouldn't it be time for you to rest?"

"I have to wait for a while before going to sleep after feeding the baby, otherwise, if I fall asleep and get up to feed again, I won't be able to fall asleep for a long time." Bai Yulan said.

"I think Aunt Chun and the others dress their children too much. It's really unnecessary for children. It's okay to wear a little less than us adults. This way, children's resistance will be better. Trust me..."

"It's your first time being a father, how do you know?"

"I'm the first to be a father, and I don't know how to find books to learn from. The wisdom of the predecessors, don't you know that raising a child requires three parts of hunger and cold. If you eat too much and dress too warm, it may not be a good thing." , you just listen to me," Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, I'll just tell Aunt Chun later." Bai Yulan nodded. She had heard some old sayings, but when she actually put them into practice, that was another matter. Who wouldn't love her?

"I'm going to bring you the baby..."

……

"This is some information I can get now, I hope it will be helpful to you." Jiang Rou asked Ai Qing to meet and handed him an envelope.

"Understood, you should be more careful at home." Ai Qing couldn't help reminding him that he already knew Chang Bo's identity.

Naturally, she also guessed Bai Yulan's identity.

Then Zhou Sen's identity was about to be revealed...

It's just that they still don't know who they are, otherwise, the current cooperative relationship may turn into a hostile relationship in an instant.

"Why?" Jiang Rou was puzzled, there was nothing to be careful about at home, Zhou Sen was with her, and Bai Yulan, the sister-in-law, treated her like her own sister.

"I'm just reminding you, don't reveal your identity at home, it will bring trouble to you and the family." Ai Qing quickly changed his tone.

"I see, Comrade Hai Dongqing." Jiang Rou nodded without thinking too much, after all, it was comrades who cared.

"Then I'm leaving." Ai Qing nodded, got up and left.

Jiang Rou then also left from the meeting place, but what she didn't know was that there was a tail hanging behind her.

……

"Brother Lang..."

"Are you sure, have you seen the other person's appearance clearly?" Qin Lang's face changed slightly after hearing this, a little unnaturally.

"No, the other party deliberately covered half of his face, and I lost him after a short distance." The subordinate said shyly.

"Okay, I see, if Xiaorou goes out alone again, you should report to me immediately." Qin Lang ordered.

"Yes, Lango."

"Go to work." Qin Lang waved his hand, and sat on the chair with some heavy thoughts, his eyes fell into a kind of confusion.

……

Under Zhou Sen's arrangement, Hong Lianghui met Mr. Hong. Although the two father and son were not related by blood, Mr. Hong had raised Hong Lianghui for more than ten years. In addition to providing him with food and drink, he also provided him with education.

In front of the bed, when Hong Lianghui saw his adoptive father who was seriously ill and skinny, he immediately knelt down with a "plop".

"Father, my son is not filial!"

"It's Hui'er, you're back..." With the support of the old servant, Mr. Hong sat up slowly. The old man was in poor health and could no longer fluctuate emotionally. Although he restrained himself, he still couldn't restrain himself. Old tears flowed down.

Originally, the adoptive son wanted to take care of himself in retirement, but in the end, not only did he not wait for that day, but he also ended up in this miserable situation.

"Father, how are you doing? I'll find a doctor for you?"

"No need, Police Officer Zhou found me the best doctor. If it wasn't for him, I might not be able to make it this far." Old Hong said, "Hui'er, I don't understand what you did outside. You grew up Yes, I have my own opinions, but father only asks you to have the right way, don't do those harmful things, be worthy of your ancestors, worthy of your own conscience..."

"Father, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you." Hong Lianghui knelt beside the bed, weeping uncontrollably.

"Before I close my eyes, I can see you one more time. I am already satisfied." Mr. Hong was already making his last words, "After I leave, this house will be left to you, Uncle Liu, no matter whether you can come out or not. , you can't even drive him away, and you have to give him a pension until the end of his life..."

The father and son must have something to say in the end, Zhou Sen and Anna subconsciously retreated from the room.

About half an hour passed.

Hong Lianghui walked out of the room, the tears in the corners of his eyes were not wiped away.

"How about it?"

"My father is gone." Hong Lianghui's eyes were numb, a feeling of grief but unable to cry.

gone?

Zhou Sen understood that Mr. Hong had passed away, and he finally waited for his adopted son to come back to send him the last journey of his life. Although it was not perfect, he died in peace.

"Officer Zhou, can I stay and watch for my father?" Hong Lianghui asked.

"No, I have already taken a big risk by bringing you out to see Mr. Hong. You must go back with me now, otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences." Even if Zhou Sen couldn't bear it, he couldn't agree at this time. Hong Lianghui.

He asked Hong Lianghui to come back to see Mr. Hong, maybe it could be explained because of the needs of the case, but if he agreed to let him stay in the vigil, it would be of a different nature. Being caught by someone would bring him danger of.

What's more, it doesn't make much sense for Hong Lianghui to stay.

"Don't worry, I will arrange the funeral of Mr. Hong so that he can be buried as soon as possible." Zhou Sen said.

"Thank you, Officer Zhou." Hong Lianghui said, "Can I stay with my father for a while?"

Zhou Sen nodded.

Hong Lianghui brought clean water to wash Mr. Hong's body. Zhou Sen gave some money to the old servant to buy some white cloth, paper ingots, candles, etc., and helped the family build the mourning hall.

Shoucai had been prepared a long time ago, no matter how short of money he was, he was not willing to sell it.

"Let's go, Lao Liu will take care of the affairs of Mr. Hong, so you can rest assured." Zhou Sen looked at Hong Lianghui who was kneeling on the ground and said.

Hong Lianghui nodded, then came to the center, kowtowed three times, until his forehead was bled, and then got up, put on handcuffs, and was escorted into the prison car.

"Keep an eye on him tonight."

"Don't worry, Brother Sen."

He sent him back to the Songhua School, and told the guards not to have any accidents at night, after all, Wen Lin had already died.

Coming out of Songhua School, Zhou Sen drove to the "Information Office" on Youyi Road. Let's call him "Finland Building". After all, it has no official purpose in Zhou Sen's hands.

Two people came with me yesterday. When Zhou Sen came to see, all four of them were there, cleaning and tidying up the house hard.

"Yesterday, I assigned a task to Muren and Fu Changming. Just think about it. If we do some business in this house, what should we do? We will think about it when we go back. If we have any good ideas, we can follow them. I'll say it or tell Lilac (Anna)."

"Mr. Zhou, what do you want us to do when you selected us?" Fu Changming couldn't help asking.

"After cleaning here, Ding Xiang will take you to the temporary office and tell you what your job is." Zhou Sen said, "Now, continue."

"Can't you tell them now?" Anna was puzzled.

"Young man, temper your temper so that it will be easy to use." Zhou Sen explained with a chuckle.

"As if you're much older than them?"

"I have more experience than them!"

"I heard that you are going to hold a full moon wine for my daughter and son, and invite those people then?" Anna asked.

"There are quite a few people invited this time."

"Do I have an invitation?"

"Why do you want an invitation? After accepting the invitation, you have to follow the gift. I have such a big family business. You can't take it lightly." Zhou Sen glanced at her.

"Then you mean, don't invite me?"

"Do you want to invite me? That's my subordinate, and you will be a free laborer for me then." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"Really, are there any red envelopes?"

"It's good to have a meal with you, and you also need a red envelope!" Zhou Sen scolded with a smile, "Do you know where Fronte, our former instructor, lives?"

"I know, why, you have something to do with him?"

"He's also on the list to set up an intelligence room this time, so I have to talk to him in person," Zhou Sen explained.

"Didn't he do a good job in the Ice Special Agent? Why did he transfer to our intelligence room?" Anna asked in surprise.

"This is the meaning of Vice Minister Sato. The collection and analysis of intelligence work on the Soviet Union by the Ice Special Agent must be transferred to our intelligence room." Zhou Sen said, "But the official handover will have to wait. "

"It seems that you are going to be promoted, director of the intelligence department, is such an important position that non-Japanese cannot hold?"

"According to Hideo Sato, I will be the deputy director at most, and he will be the director concurrently." Zhou Sen explained.

"Understood, we do things, and he will take the credit. If something goes wrong, he stays out of it, and we will take the blame." Anna said jokingly.

"If you know it, don't say it. If we want to draw this, then don't do this job." Zhou Sen reminded.

"I just said a few words in front of you, will you inform me?" Anna leaned forward and asked.

"How did you find out about Wen Lin's girlfriend?" Zhou Sen backed off and changed the subject directly.

"That girl named Lu Yan was sent to Shanghai by her father."

"Shanghai, is she already engaged?"

"Engagement, I haven't heard of this yet. Not long after Wen Lin's accident, she was restored to freedom by her father looking for a relationship, and then sent her to Shanghai, and never came back." Anna said.

"Shanghai is also our territory now, so we can ask about Lu Yan's situation through our relationship." Zhou Sen said.

"This is not such an easy thing to do." Anna muttered.

"It's all about human effort, how do you know it won't work if you don't do it?"
