above the point of the knife

Chapter 42 Grisa

"Head..."

Gu Lao Liu opened the door and came in. He was startled when he saw Zhou Sen sitting at the head of the long table that was usually discussed, motionless and silent.

Trembling, he stretched out his hand to sniff.

"Come on, I'm alive." Zhou Sen stared, opened his mouth and said.

"Boss, you scared me." Gu Laoliu patted his chest quickly and said, "The two new young people are not bad, such good young people, how can the department be willing to patrol the streets for us?"

"That's because they haven't graduated yet. After graduation, it won't be our turn." Zhou Sen chuckled, "Sixth, please take care of these two people, don't let them hit you, I won't be good at that time Confession."

"Any background?" Gu Lao Liu put down the enamel water cup and asked.

"Be careful in everything, that's right." Zhou Sen said meaningfully. It must not be that simple to arrange two people to come at this time.

"I see, boss." Gu Laoliu nodded solemnly. At noon, Zhou Sen took him to have dinner with the brothers of the Qing family and said that he would be promoted to the position of inspector. This has already explained the problem. Zhou Sen may Can't stay in this position for long.

"Liu Liu, tell me what you saw this morning." Zhou Sen said seriously.

"Okay, boss." Gu Laoliu nodded, sat down, and organized his words, "Not long after you and the two newcomers left Sherkin's house, Fei Ya went out. I followed all the way and found that She went to a tea and food shop called Santos outside the road. I didn't dare to follow her. I just stood guard at the door. After about ten minutes, I saw Fei Ya come out and got on the No. 2 tram. I wanted to follow her. , but unexpectedly discovered that Miss Suzanne also came out of the tea and food shop. Although she was tightly wrapped, I still recognized her. "

"She didn't notice you, did she?" Zhou Sen asked.

"No, I don't dare to talk to you. Boss, you told me that this Suzanne might be a Soviet Russian spy. With my little tracking technology, if I'm afraid of being discovered, it will be a bad thing." Gu Laoliu said.

"You are right. It seems that the relationship between Susanna and Feya is very close, not as simple as we imagined." Zhou Sen said.

"Could it be that two people joined forces to make money and kill? All of Sheerkin's savings are in Susanna's name. As long as Sheerkin dies, the money will belong to Susanna." Gu Lao Liu analyzed.

"It's possible, but it's not entirely true. Don't you realize that the people at the "Songjiang Daily" are a little indifferent to Shelkin's death?" Zhou Sen said, "When a colleague died, they couldn't wait to put Shelkin in the newspaper office. The relics have been cleaned up and divided up, isn't this too impersonal?"

"It's true, boss, this case is getting more and more complicated, shall we continue to investigate?" Gu Lao Liu was a little worried.

"Investigate, of course we need to investigate. This case was personally explained by Mr. Akiyama, and there must be a result." Zhou Sen said, "However, we learn to simplify complex issues and focus on the case itself, understand?"

"Then how to check now?"

"Start with Fei Ya, check her financial transactions, especially her relationship with Susanna, and focus on the investigation." Zhou Sen said, what kind of Soviet Russian spy, this has nothing to do with him, he just checked who killed Sherkin, as for being killed The best motive is murder for money.

"That's okay, I know, I'll figure out a way." Gu Lao Liu understood that this case was regarded as an ordinary murder case and had nothing to do with other cases. Fire upper body.

"Don't force yourself, your own safety is the most important thing." Zhou Sen instructed.

Gu Lao Liu nodded: "Ye San'er said, welcome newcomers tonight, at the meat restaurant we ate a few days ago..."

"Forget about tonight. I'm a little tired. Let's change it to tomorrow night." Zhou Sen vetoed, he drank too much at noon, and drinking at night would definitely hurt his health. time.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Ye San'er."

……

At No. 12 Maimai Street, Zhou Sen decided to go there by himself to find out about the situation with the Gresha whom Suzanne was talking about.

Just on the way home.

He hailed a pony carriage, got into the car and only said "Buying Street", but didn't say the specific address, and the driver didn't ask much.

Zhou Sen was familiar with the streets of Bingcheng, and when the carriage almost arrived near the location he wanted, he stopped the carriage and paid for the carriage.

After getting out of the car and looking around, he stepped forward and headed towards his goal, No. 12 Maimai Street.

No. 12 Maimai Street is an apartment building. After entering the door, go up to the third floor according to the house number Suzanne said, and the bank teller she mentioned is called Gresha, who lives in room 303.

The bank closes early, so Grisa should have already left work. If she hadn't entertained or had a date, she should have returned home by now.

It doesn't matter if you don't come back, Zhou Sen has plenty of time to wait, and when he came, he had already rehearsed what he was going to say next in his mind.

When I came to the door of Room 303, I listened to the door first, but there was no movement inside. Zhou Sen reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside.

It seems that I am unlucky, Gresha probably hasn't come back yet.

Zhou Sen walked to the window at the end of the corridor, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and started smoking.

A cigarette quickly disappears at the end of the finger.

Zhou Sen raised his foot, pressed the cigarette butt on the sole of his leather shoe, extinguished it, put on his gloves again, leaned his back against the window, lowered the brim of his hat, and waited silently.

Da da……

It was the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the stairs. It was obvious that a woman was coming upstairs. Zhou Sen raised his head slightly, pushed the brim of his hat, opened his eyes, and looked towards the stairs from the corner of his eye.

A young Belarusian girl in her 20s, with brown curly hair, holding a leather bag in one hand, turning the key ring with the index finger of the other hand, and humming a Russian folk song, with a very cheerful expression .

Zhou Sen had never met Gresha, but this girl went up to the third floor and walked over, so she probably lived on this floor.

The girl walked on the catwalk, a strong smell of alcohol rushed in, and she came to the door of Room 303. When she turned her head, she also saw Zhou Sen who was leaning against the window at the end of the corridor.

Curiosity, surprise, and even a trace of unexplainable, unexplainable emotions.

In the next second, she actually took the initiative to walk towards Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen smiled slightly, walked over, and asked in proficient Russian: "Miss Grisa, is it?"

"Oh, how do you know my name?" Grisha took a step back in surprise, obviously frightened by Zhou Sen's sudden calling of my name.

"You have a friend named Susanna, right?" Zhou se took a step forward and asked a little oppressively.

"Yes, you know Suzanne. Where has she been these few days? I've been looking for her everywhere?" Grisa asked excitedly.

"She's fine. She's fine. It's just that it's inconvenient to come to see you." Zhou Sen took another step forward and had already come to her, but in order not to scare her, he kept a safe distance of about two meters.

"You, who are you?"

"I'm also his friend. Susanna lives in the place I arranged for her these days." Zhou Sen explained.

"I don't believe it. I've never heard her say that she has a Chinese friend?" Grisha looked at Zhou Sen very vigilantly. In her opinion, many Chinese people have low moral character.

"Miss Grisa, I know that Suzanne's boyfriend Shelkin was killed at home a few days ago. She was afraid that Shelkin's death would implicate her, so she hid herself and didn't dare to come to see you. At the same time, she was also afraid That and Shelkin's murderer will come after her, you know what I mean?"

"Then what did you come to see me for? Suzanne and I are just friends, and I don't know anything about her?" Grisha said hastily.

"The police are investigating Shelkin's case, and Suzanne is his girlfriend, this relationship cannot be concealed, and they met again at Lucia's Cafe on the afternoon of Shelkin's murder, and Shelkin returned home at night. If she was killed, the police would have reason to suspect that Shelkin's killing was related to Susanna, so she will definitely be wanted by then, and you are his friend, the police will definitely come to ask you for questioning. Your testimony is very important to Susanna. Crucial."

"What do you want to say?"

"Miss Grisa, do you want the two of us to talk like this all the time in the corridor?" Zhou Sen asked back.

Gresha thought about it, reached out and opened the door with the key, turned on the light, and asked Zhou Sen to go in.

This is a small one-bedroom, the small living room is the bedroom, and there is a bathroom outside. There is no kitchen, and she probably won't cook at home.

Grisha looks neat on the outside, but the house looks quite different. Clothes, shoes and socks are everywhere, not like a girl's house at all.

"I'm sorry, I live alone, and no one comes over..." Grisha explained embarrassingly.

"Miss Grisa, was Suzanne with you the night Shelkin was killed, that is, the night of February 2?"

"Yes, during those few days, she was not feeling well. She asked the bank for leave and lived with me." Grisha nodded.

"Not feeling well, are you on your menstrual period?"

"Yes, it's that kind of pain, the kind that makes people die when it hurts." Grisha explained with gestures.

"Then she is with you, how do you two live?"

"We're both girls, so we naturally slept together, isn't that a problem?" Grisha laughed.

"Did she see a doctor and take medicine?"

"Look, the doctor prescribed some painkillers for her, and asked her to drink more hot water and hot compresses at home."

"On the night of the 1st, when did she come back? Did she stay with you all night and never go out?" Zhou Sen continued to ask.

"Didn't Susanna tell you?" Gresha became suspicious. If Zhou Sen was really Susanna's trusted friend, why didn't he tell him this?

"I mean, if the police ask you, you have to say that Suzanne came back early and stayed with you all night without going out, understand?" Zhou Sen quickly changed his words, but observed Grisha's complexion changed.

Hearing Zhou Sen's words, Gresha's face showed a little unnaturalness, it was obvious that there was something wrong.

"Do you have to say that?" The nervous look on Grisha's face gave her away that there was definitely something wrong with Susannah that night.

"You and Suzanne are good friends. If something happened to her, do you think you can separate the relationship?" Zhou Sen became more and more sure that even if Suzanne was not the murderer on the night of Sheerkin's murder, she might have a close relationship with the case.

Is Suzanne really a spy of Soviet Russia?

If Akiyama nosuke had the exact evidence, why didn't he just arrest the person, instead told himself, and let himself screen it?
Is this just a test?
In the nature of the Japanese, it is never always better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go, unless Suzanne has a higher use value and target.

But Susanna is so important, why throw it to herself?
What the hell is going on behind this Akiyama nosuke?
