above the point of the knife

Chapter 412 Insincere

"How's it going, have you gained something?" Zhou Sen returned to his home in Gaoshi Street and asked Su Te's "Information Room"

Anna came up to the temporary station.

Upstairs, my office said.

Zhou Sen turned Anthony's study upstairs into his own office. It was originally his home, so he didn't feel strange about it.

The small living room outside became Anna's office. As for other people's offices, they were all downstairs.

The attic is packed out.

The radio station is temporarily placed on it, and it has been recorded, and no one has come to check it. The Japanese don't know it, let alone the Manchukuo.

Zhou Sen's original room was divided into two rooms, one for Nina and one for Han Songyue, and Anna lived in Anthony's room.

Where is her private territory, no one can enter.

This is how the second floor is allocated.

In addition to the balcony value, the second floor also has a large terrace, so the space and area are naturally much smaller than those on the first floor.

In addition to the living room and dining room, as well as the kitchen and storage room, there are two guest rooms on the first floor. It turned out that Irina lived in one, and the other was a real guest room.

Now, all of them are used as offices to be allocated, and the restaurant is still a restaurant, but the function of a conference room has been added.

The living room is the largest in the whole house. In order to accommodate more possible people, the sofa, coffee table and cabinets had to be temporarily removed.

Find a place to store it first, and after the "Information Room" is moved away, it will still be restored to its original state.

"Yes, otherwise my trip would not have been in vain." Zhou Sen nodded.

"What are the gains, let's hear it?"

"Go get me a glass of water first." Zhou Sen sat down, smiled, and ordered.

"Okay, I'll pour you some water." Anna knew that Zhou Sen was deliberately teasing her curiosity, but there was no way she could be so curious.

He poured Zhou Sen a glass of water and brought it over.

"It can be said now."

"He mentioned a person, someone you definitely know but can't think of." Zhou Sen said.

"Someone I can't think of?" Anna frowned, but her mind was still spinning, a person she didn't think of but knew.

There was such a candidate in her mind, and she had something to do with Bai Tailai. For a while, she really couldn't think of which one it was.

"I can't think of it, you just say it."

"Zheng Nan."

"What, that brother Nan, the owner of the old Fengtian tailor shop, what does he have to do with Bai Tailai?" Anna was very surprised.

"Zheng Nan is the cousin of Bai Tailai's wife. Of course, I don't know how much this kind of relationship is." Zhou Sen chuckled, "When I found out that they have this kind of relationship, I was also surprised. .”

"They actually have such a relationship, so there is nothing suspicious about Wen Lin and Bai Yan going to the old Fengtian tailor shop?" Anna said, "Our suspicion is in the wrong direction at all?"

"No, on the contrary, Bai Yan's avoidance of going to Shanghai was suggested by Zheng Nan, and he even played a key role in it."

"Zheng Nan is from Fengtian. According to his resume, he doesn't seem to have left the border. How could he suggest Bai Yan to go to Shanghai?"

"That's right, although Bai Tailai explained that Bai Yan was sent so far away because he was afraid that if the case was brought up in Manchuria, there would be troubles, but if he was in Shanghai, he couldn't control it. It is under the jurisdiction of Manchukuo, but as parents, they are not worried at all about sending their only daughter to such a far place. If Bai Tailai's wife goes with her, the mother and daughter will take care of each other. I understand, but if Bai Yan goes alone, any parent will be worried, even if they have an acquaintance in Shanghai to take care of them, can this acquaintance take care of Bai Yan as if they were their own daughter?"

"Your analysis makes sense. Bai Yan is a girl, and she is not bad looking. She has never traveled far in her life, and she suddenly went to such a far place. Bai Tailai and his wife are not worried at all?"

"What's even more strange is that Bai Yan talked about a boyfriend in Shanghai. Sometimes even her parents might not tell her about such a private matter, but Zheng Nan's cousin knows it all, and Bai Yan talked about it. New boyfriend, Bai Tailai and his wife will not publicize it everywhere, after all, Bai Yan exchanged posts with Wen Lin in the past, but how did Wen Lin know this news in the correctional institution?"

"You mean, Zheng Nan deliberately arranged for someone to pass the message in?" Anna instantly understood what Zhou Sen suspected.

"But there are not many people in the correctional institution who can contact Wen Lin, and even fewer people can convince him."

"You're right. The person who sent the letter to Wen Lin must be someone he can trust, so who could this person be?" Zhou Sen nodded, "For the staff in the correctional institution, Wen Lin He may not believe it, but if it is someone he trusts..."

"Hong Lianghui!"

"Assuming that this person is Hong Lianghui, where did the news of Hong Lianghui come from? He is in the correctional institution, and he will not come out at all, unless there is something wrong with the personnel in the correctional institution..."

"There is another loophole!" Anna said suddenly.

"Brickyard!"

Zhou Sen nodded. It is true that the owner of the brick factory is Japanese, but not all the workers in the brick factory are thought prisoners from the correctional institution. There are also other workers who work separately. It is impossible to keep an eye on it all the time, as long as there is such a momentary negligence, the information can be transmitted.

But this might not be Hong Lianghui, but several other people who were imprisoned in the correctional facility together, all of whom were suspected.

Hong Lianghui's suspicion was the greatest, because he was the last person to contact Wen Lin, and Wen Lin was also very likely to commit suicide in despair because of what Hong Lianghui said to him.

But these are all doubts and speculations, unless the person who sent the message to Hong Lianghui is found, or Hong Lianghui himself speaks out on his own initiative.

However, since he mentioned the person "Zheng Nan", it means that he knows some inside information, but why didn't he directly say it...

"Let's go to Songhua School. I want to interrogate Hong Lianghui again." Thinking of this, Zhou Sen suddenly stood up.

"I'll go too." Anna raised her foot and followed.

Drive directly to Songhua School.

Kitano personally received the reception with great enthusiasm, and Zhou Sen also handed him the wedding invitation of the full moon wine by the way, asking him to go with him at that time.

Kitano immediately agreed, saying that he would definitely go.

In the interrogation room, Zhou Sen saw Hong Lianghui. He was not in a good state of mind, probably because of sadness. After all, his adoptive father passed away, and he had no relatives in this world.

"Hong Lianghui, I gave you a lot of opportunities and helped you arrange your adoptive father's funeral. In return, you should give me something, right? If I didn't say anything, don't you want to take the initiative to tell me?" Zhou Sen Sitting like this, he looked at Hong Lianghui, who was facing him with his head drooping, and asked.

"Officer Zhou, can I have a cigarette?" Hong Lianghui raised his head slowly and asked for it.

Zhou Sen looked at the other party for three seconds, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out one, got up and walked over, put it to his mouth, and then took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Thank you."

Hong Lianghui thanked him, then continued to take three puffs with his head half-drowned, and almost one-third of the cigarette disappeared at once, then he raised his head slightly and opened his mouth and said: "Someone is sending me a message outside, let me Tell Wen Lin the news, he told me to tell Wen Lin the news of Bai Yan's engagement."

"Who is this guy?"

"I don't know, I only know his name is: Brother Nan." Hong Lianghui said.

"But you just pointed out to us that Brother Nan is Zheng Nan from the old Fengtian Tailor Shop?" Zhou Sen was very surprised, but Hong Lianghui just said "Zheng Nan" directly.

"I'm guessing too. I'm not sure it's him, because I heard from Wen Lin that the owner of the tailor shop that Bai Yan often goes to is called 'Brother Nan'." Hong Lianghui said, "If you make a mistake, People, don’t you wrong a good man?”

Zhou Sen nodded silently in his heart. Although this guy is dishonest, he still has a little conscience.

"Who sent you the letter?"'

"In the brick factory, I only saw him once, and I never saw this person again. Every time I found the note hidden under the brick embryo according to the mark he gave." Hong Lianghui said.

"If we meet again, will you still recognize it?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Yes." Hong Lianghui thought for a moment, then nodded seriously. At this moment, the cigarette in his hand was left with butts.

Zhou Sen took another cigarette out of the pack and refilled it for him.

Give it to him, but he refused, took it in his hand, sniffed it under his nose, and smiled coyly: "I'll save it for later."

"If you want to smoke, I can get someone to give it to you. I can provide you with five cigarettes every day. Is it enough?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Enough, enough."

You can't give too much at a time, too much and you take yourself too seriously. Five roots a day is a lot.

If Zhou Sen didn't have any irritating things, that's all. Once something happened, it would be hard to say.

But this is not a good habit and needs to be changed.

"If you are asked to go back to the brick factory, can you find him?" Zhou Sen asked.

"My actions are limited, and I can only contact some people. If he avoids them..." Hong Lianghui said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange it." Zhou Sen said.

"As long as he is still in the brick factory, I can recognize him naturally." Hong Langhui said.

"Are you sure this person is not a correctional officer or you haven't seen him in the correctional facility?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I haven't seen him in the correctional institution. He is dark-skinned, thin, and not tall. He speaks very fast and has a slight retroflex tone. He should not be a native of Bingcheng." Hong Lianghui said.

Zhou Sen asked someone to fetch a pen and paper, and under Hong Lianghui's description, he made a simple portrait sketch.

"It's probably like this. I don't remember it very clearly, but if I see it again, I should be able to recognize it."

After reading Zhou Sen's sketch profile, Hong Lianghui said.

"Okay, thank you, this is also an expression of your meritorious deeds and repentance. I will write it in the report later and try to get you a lighter punishment." Zhou Sen said.

Hong Lianghui's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say "thank you".

"How many times has this person asked you to send messages, and what did they say each time?" Zhou Sen continued to ask.

"Three times. The first time, he asked me to pass on a message. He asked me to tell Wen Lin that Bai Yan was released on bail and returned home safely."

"The second time was a note. It said that Bai Yan was sent out of town by her parents, and their engagement was broken."

"The third time is this time, let me tell Wen Lin that Bai Yan is engaged again."

"Wen Lin's situation in the correctional institution, does he know?" Zhou Sen asked, if there is no purpose in sending the message, what is the purpose of sending it?

"I don't know about that. I'm just passing on the information, and I don't need to give the information back to him."

"Do you think, among the few of you who were arrested, there are others who have contact with the outside world?" Zhou Sen asked after thinking about it.

"I don't know. Although I have a good relationship with Fan Di and the other three, I didn't communicate with them very much except Wen Lin when we arrived at the correctional institution," Hong Lianghui said.

"Are you afraid they will betray you?"

"Too many words will lead to failure. In that case, I can only protect myself as much as possible." Hong Lianghui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, that's all for today. If you think of anything, you can tell me anytime." Zhou Sen said.

Zhou Sen took the portrait sketch profile to meet several other people, and they all said that they had never seen this person, nor did they know him.

Zhou Sen couldn't tell whether the truth was true or not, so he had to go to the correctional institution first.

There is no such person in the correctional institution, this is what the director personally told Zhou Sen.

So now it can basically be judged that this person got in touch with Hong Lianghui through the brick factory.

However, why did he choose Hong Lianghui instead of others? You must know that he was not the only one who was forced to work in the brick factory at that time.

Moreover, Wen Lin is also in the brick factory, so he can directly connect with Wen Lin and pass the information to Wen Lin through Hong Lianghui.

After catching this guy, a lot of middle joints are figured out.

Zhou Sen didn't want to get to the bottom of this case, but Wen Lin's death made him feel a tinge of pity.

A young man who died at the hands of the Japanese invaders can still be called a "hero". If he died at the hands of his own people, it really should not be.

Why did Wen Lin die.

It's nothing more than interests or emotional entanglements, but in this case, emotional entanglements are superficial things, and the deep-seated interests are.

Wen Lin's status in the Jagged Club seems to be quite high, and he is very likely to be the core figure. Of course, it is also possible that he has some secrets. If he is arrested, once he confesses, the people behind him will be in danger.

Under such circumstances, killing people to silence is usually the consistent practice of the military, but it doesn't make sense. Wen Lin is crazy in the correctional institution, so what's the stake? Is it worth the people behind it?

What's more, it really doesn't make sense to wait for a few news to kill a person?
Unless this Hong Lianghui lied, or concealed some details, or, there is still a situation that he has not grasped yet.

When Wen Lin was caught dead, no one in his family came to visit him. It seems that only his uncle came forward once. After committing suicide, the body was also handed over to this uncle to take back.

His parents never showed up.

This is a bit weird, even if Wen Lin is not the only son in the family, he is still a son, how can there be such an indifferent relationship between father and son?
