Chapter 448 The source of the leak
"Officer Zhou, Mr. Jin invites you to meet him in the past."

"Thank you, Secretary Chang."

Zhou Sen thanked him, Jin Ronggui was willing to see him, after all Secretary Chang reported it, if he didn't mention it at all, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the chance.

In this way, he saved a lot of trouble.

Following Secretary Chang, Zhou Sen entered the VIP compartment again. In fact, there was no one else in this compartment, only Jin Ronggui and his subordinates.

Empty, but better than safe.

There were two bodyguards guarding the door. You could tell by their bulging waists that they were all carrying guns.

Will ordinary people be allowed to carry guns on trains?
Only the rich and powerful have such privileges. Of course, Zhou Sen is also allowed. He is a public official with a special status, so it is naturally allowed to carry a gun on the train.

He tidied up his collar a little at the door, then opened the door and walked in.

Jin Ronggui is eating breakfast, there is still half of the milk in the glass, and the bread and eggs have already been eaten.

Seeing Zhou Sen come in, he hurriedly took a towel and wiped his mouth, signaling Secretary Chang to take the leftovers.

"Zhou Sen from the Special Affairs Section of the Bingcheng Police Department has met Director Jin." Zhou Sen came in and saluted as a subordinate.

Jin Ronggui works in Xinjing, and his police rank is director, which is the highest rank in the police system.

"Sit, Xiao Zhou." Jin Ronggui put down the towel in his hand, raised his hand, and greeted him.

"Director Xie Jin." Zhou Sen said politely, and sat down on the small single sofa in front of Jin Ronggui.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard Mr. Shibuya mention you. He said that you are his most proud student. It seems that what he said is true!"

"It's Mr. Shibuya's preference."

"To get Mr. Shibuya's favor, you are naturally superior." Jin Ronggui nodded, he knew that Zhou Sen was already a police officer at a young age, except for those who relied on their backgrounds and relied on their true strength. He is very clear about how difficult it is to climb up from the bottom step by step.

Even if Zhou Sen had Shibuya Saburo as a teacher, it would be impossible to promote him in this way, unless he really had extraordinary achievements.

Such people cannot be underestimated.

It's a pity that his son-in-law was blinded by hatred, he didn't know that although Zhou Sen was not a big official, he had unlimited potential.

And no matter how big Qin Xiong is, he will be the king and hegemony in the ice city, and he may be on a bigger stage.

As a businessman, the eye sockets are always shallow.

"You got on this train mainly to see me?"

"Yes, I can't help it. With you leaving, many problems will not be clear." Zhou Sen admitted frankly.

"I know that you are here for the case of assassinating me on the train. If you have any questions, just ask. I know. If I can answer you, I will naturally answer." Jin Ronggui said.

Although Jin Yazhen and Qin Xiong are his daughter and son-in-law, they are two families after all. He doesn't only have Jin Yazhen as a daughter, he also has a son and a whole family, so he has to weigh and consider for himself.

"Thank you, Director Jin." Although Zhou Sen had heard a lot about Jin Ronggui's past, he naturally had a different opinion about what this person did in the Bingcheng Police Department, and he did not conspire with each other, but this is the first time When we met, I had a good impression of this old traitor.

Of course, he won't be fooled by this person's superficial kindness. Evil people are best at disguising themselves as good people and appearing in front of the world.

"Director Jin, according to the information we have so far, the assassination of you on the train was premeditated, and in such a short period of time, making such an accurate assassination plan and implementing it is definitely not something ordinary people can do. What's more, your return to Bingcheng this time is not a long-awaited arrangement, but a temporary decision, right?"

"You suspect that my itinerary was leaked, which gave the organization behind the assassin an opportunity?"

"It's already obvious. They got the news that you are coming to Ice City first, and then they made an assassination plan. It took less than two days, or even less." Zhou Sen nodded.

"Didn't you also receive an anonymous letter warning, so I decided to take a bus back to Ice City one day in advance?"

"From when you decided to go back to Ice City, to when you asked your subordinates to book the bus tickets, report to the police, and then when you decided to return to Ice City one day earlier, how long did it take?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I decided to go back to Bingcheng the night before, and asked Secretary Chang to book the ticket the next day, then ask for leave and report to the police, but I received a confidential hotline call from the Bingcheng Police Department that afternoon, and they asked me to return one day earlier and make a reservation The carriage does not retreat."

"That is to say, there is no one on your side who knows that you are going back to Bingcheng except your family and Secretary Chang."

"Yes."

"Your secretary, how is he?"

"Do you suspect that Xiaochang told others about my return to Bingcheng?" Jin Ronggui asked.

"It doesn't have to be deliberate. It's possible that he mentioned it to someone intentionally or unintentionally. After all, if he is going back to Bingcheng with you, if it's an insider, there is no need to deliberately avoid it." Zhou Sen analyzed and explained .

"No, I specifically told you not to mention my return to Bingcheng to anyone." Jin Ronggui said affirmatively.

"If the source of the leak is not on your side, it may be on your daughter and son-in-law's side." Zhou Sen said, "Apart from you, only they know that you are coming back soon."

"No way, I specifically told them not to tell the outside world. After all, I came back to Bingcheng for a private matter, and I didn't want to alarm the local people." Jin Ronggui said.

"But your trip needs to be reported, and you can't keep it secret. The Bingcheng City Government and the Police Department still know about it." Zhou Sen said.

"That's why you came to Xinjing on a business trip."

"Yes, I have to make sure that the source of your itinerary leak is not in Xinjing, then this case will be easy to investigate." Zhou Sen nodded.

"If you don't come to this case, I will investigate it too. If there is something wrong with us, it's me this time, and I won't know who it is next time. This hidden danger must be removed!" Jin Ronggui nodded.

"It's best if Director Jin can understand."

"The information I can provide here is very limited, but at least I can guarantee that the source of the leak should not be on my side. After the incident, I also asked Xiaochang, and he told me that apart from reporting , I didn’t mention to anyone that I’m going to Bingcheng.”

"Where's the ticket?"

"I'm planning to take the ordinary VIP car back, because I don't plan to bring many people, so when Xiao Chang buys the ticket, he won't mention my name, and the railway doesn't know about this situation." Jin Ronggui explained, "Now This special VIP car was arranged by the Security Bureau of the Bingcheng Police Department, and has nothing to do with me."

"Thank you, Director Jin. I have nothing to worry about. I'm sorry to disturb you." Zhou Sen stood up and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Zhou, wait a minute." Jin Ronggui felt that he still had to do something for his daughter and son-in-law, but he didn't know if it would work.

Zhou Sen paused.

"I don't know what kind of grievances you have with Qin Xiong, but you have to be forgiving and forgiving. For the sake of the old man, can you sit down and have a talk, and turn the fight into friendship?" Jin Ronggui said. .

"Director Jin, although I am not too broad-minded, I am not a caring person. I have given my son-in-law a lot of opportunities. If he insists on provoking me, I can't fight back. Although you You are not my direct superior, but your prestige in the police world is unparalleled, I respect you, but for Qin Xiong, if you don’t teach him a lesson, he will become even more unscrupulous, and if he really messes with someone he shouldn’t, then It's not just the current situation." Zhou Sen said neither humble nor overbearing.

"There is no room for negotiation?" Jin Ronggui's face changed slightly, and he was a little displeased.

"Go to the newspaper, apologize to my wife, I can give him a chance." This time, Zhou Sen obviously couldn't compromise.

Jin Ronggui froze for a moment: "Is there no other way?"

"He ordered people to slander my wife through tabloids, so do you think my request is too much?" Zhou Sen said slowly.

He is mentally prepared that Jin Ronggui may mention Qin Xiong's matter, and if he really speaks, how should he respond.

After all, he also had to put the overall situation first. If Jin Ronggui didn't show up, it would be fine for him to deal with Qin Xiong and Jin Yazhen. The other party started this matter first.

Now that Jin Ronggui has spoken, he has to consider the problem of confronting this old guy directly. Right now, Qin Xiong and Jin Yazhen, the parents-in-law, cannot be beaten to death with a stick.

As long as one's own conditions are not excessive, others will not be able to point out any faults.

Even if Jin Ronggui went to look for Shibuya Saburo, Shibuya Saburo might not be on his side, Shibuya is not stupid.

He helped Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong was grateful to Jin Ronggui, but it would make him, a student, unhappy.

Of course, if Zhou Sen is too aggressive and insists on killing Qin Xiong, Saburo Shibuya is very likely to suppress Zhou Sen for the sake of some past friendship.

But Zhou Sen actually didn't want this matter to come to Saburo Shibuya, unless Qin Xiong and the others insisted on doing so.

This measure must be grasped.

"Okay, I get it. If Qin Xiong can do it, will you let him go?" Jin Ronggui thought about it, and Zhou Sen's conditions were beyond reproach, even out of benevolence.

"Director Jin, I, Zhou Sen, am a man of my word, but my son-in-law is hard to say. If there is another trouble, I'm afraid I won't give you face." Zhou Sen also made his words clear. To save face, it won't work next time.

"Understood, Secretary Chang, send Officer Zhou off for me." Jin Ronggui nodded and instructed Secretary Chang.

……

"Brother Sen, why have you been here for so long? If you don't come out again, I'm going to break in to find you." Zhou Sen passed the dining car and was about to return to his own car when he found Wu En sitting in the dining car with his luggage .

"Didn't I just come out?" Zhou Sen chuckled, walked over and sat down, calling the waiter for two cups of coffee.

"How was the talk?"

"It's okay, the source of the leak should not be in Xinjing, I guess we have to go back and investigate." Zhou Sen took a cup of coffee.

"Then shall we go directly to the next stop and buy a ticket to go back?"

"Reply, since we're here, we'll naturally drop by to Xinjing. Besides, get off at the next stop. When will you buy the return ticket?"

"Oh."

"We will only stay in Xinjing for one night. There will be a train back to Bingcheng in the morning tomorrow. When we arrive in Xinjing, we will buy the tickets first, remember."

"I remember." Wu En promised, he was not used to drinking coffee without sugar and milk, so he added sugar, milk, and swallowed it whole.

This train is an express train, which is not only fast, but also has fewer stops. It departs at 06:30 in the morning and arrives at Xinjingbei Station at around [-] noon.

Get down from the station.

Zhou Sen called Shibuya Saburo's office. He had contacted him the day before and knew that Zhou Sen was coming.

Ono answered the call, saying that he would send a car to pick them up right away, but Zhou Sen refused, saying that they would go to the branch of "Sen" in Xinjing first, and then ask Ono to go directly to the branch to pick him up at Shibuya Saburo at a later date. Xinjing's home.

He was on a temporary business trip, and he didn't want to go to the security department, that would be too ostentatious, and Saburo Shibuya might not have time to see him, so he might as well visit Saburo Shibuya's home at night, and go back early the next morning.

In addition, Zhou Sen still has his own affairs to deal with when he is going down. He hasn't been to Xinjing for a long time, and the "comrades" here also need to meet.

He has met Mr. Jincheng, and there is also an "Old Jin", both members of the Leo group.

The information about Jin Ronggui's train times was learned by "Jincheng" through his own channels. He is from the Ministry of Communications. This kind of information is not a problem for him at all.

However, Jincheng did not know some key information, for example, the carriages of the VIP train were not prepared by Xinjing, but by Bingcheng.

If Zhou Sen knew this information, he would be able to tell that this was a trap immediately. Jin Ronggui's private trip did not need to be arranged by Bingcheng, and even such a high-end external car was arranged.

No matter what, since he came to Xinjing, he naturally wanted to see him and ask him about some things.

"Sen" has opened a branch in Xinjing. It's not that Zhou Sen doesn't want to open more, but that although Xinjing is the political center of the Puppet Manchukuo, it is not as prosperous as Bingcheng, and the pastries of "Sen" are not cheap. Even if the price of some pastries is close to the people, ordinary people can only taste them occasionally, but because of the good taste.

After "Sen" Ji opened in Xinjing, the business has been very good, and "Sen" Ji has a background, no one is looking for trouble.

In fact, Shibuya Saburo greeted him a little bit, and naturally no one below would dare to trouble "Mori".

Therefore, "Sen" Ji's operation in Xinjing is still very smooth, of course, it is not completely without problems, and there are some unscrupulous people looking for trouble, but you can't always look for Shibuya Saburo.

Zhou Sen secretly asked Ono to take care of him. Without Saburo Shibuya's presence, Ono's identity was enough to make many people dare not think about "Sen".

Moreover, the store manager of "Mori" in the Xinjing branch is Suzuki Yoshio's confidante Keiko, her tavern was closed directly, and she applied to join "Mori".

Because she has relevant management experience, she quickly stood out, and the Xinjing branch is very important, and because she is Japanese, sending her here can save a lot of trouble in operation.
