above the point of the knife

Chapter 451 Traitor Traces
In the evening, return to Ningxiang Pavilion.

"Senior brother Ai is here, and he said he was looking for you." As soon as he stepped into the living room, Bai Yulan greeted him and caught Zhou Sen's coat that he had taken off.

"Oh, I see." Zhou Sen nodded, knowing what Ai Qing was doing here, he must have found some clues.

Bai Yulan blinked strangely, Ai Qing came to the house not to look for her, but Zhou Sen.

This is strange, when did these two have such a deep friendship?

"Let Ah Xiang stir-fry two dishes that Senior Brother Ai likes, and keep Senior Brother Ai for a drink at night." Zhou Sen ordered.

"Understood, I'll go to see the child, you guys talk." Bai Yulan nodded, Zhou Sen came back, so naturally she didn't have to stay in the living room with Ai Qing.

"Ale, stay outside and don't let anyone come in at will." Zhou Sen instructed Ale to talk about things with Ai Qing, and the content should not be heard by outsiders.

"Brother Ai, tell me, what have you found out these two days?" Zhou Sen sat down and asked Ai Qing.

"I checked, and there is indeed something wrong with the Zheng Nan you mentioned. I monitored him for two days, and then sneaked into his house to check carefully. He is indeed extraordinary." Ai Qing said.

"Any clues?"

"Yes, he went to meet someone yesterday, and I followed him all the way, because I didn't dare to get too close, and I couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but I always felt that this person didn't seem like his guest."

"You came to see me, you must have found out the identity of this guest?" Zhou Sen asked.

"No, in order to follow Zheng Nan, I can only let my people follow him, but this person is very vigilant, and my people lost it."

"It's even more lost, didn't the other party be alerted?"

"Probably not. My people withdrew as soon as they realized something was wrong." Ai Qing said slowly.

"If the other party is alert, it will be troublesome. I am afraid we will no longer be able to determine the identity of this person."

"The only way now is to stare at this Zheng Nan."

"But you are going to transport the purchased medicinal materials back to Ice City soon?"

"It's okay, I can let someone else go to bring back the medicinal materials, but this is a big deal, and we can't lose the big because of small things." Ai Qing said.

"Well, okay, if you have a situation, please inform Ale as soon as possible, and Ale will also notify me as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Zhou Sen also knew that it was impossible for the clues to be delivered to him immediately. If Zheng Nan was Jiang Xiao, the commander of the Bingcheng Station of the Military Command, he must be well-trained, and at this time, he was extremely vigilant.

It is very rare to find his flaws at this time.

Once you beat the grass and scare the snake, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"If the identity of this Zheng Nan is confirmed, what are you going to do?" Ai Qing asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhou Sen said, he really hasn't figured out whether to control Zheng Nan.

The person he was looking for was a traitor in the Juntong Bingcheng Station, and he didn't plan to hand over the Bingcheng Station.

Ai Qing didn't say anything. Zhou Sen had his own considerations.

……

After dinner, go back upstairs.

After the two little ones fell asleep, Bai Yulan returned to the bedroom, and Zhou Sen was rarely able to lie on the bed before her, flipping through an idle book in his hand, aimlessly, distracted.

"Are you and Brother Ai hiding something from me?" Bai Yulan walked over, lifted a corner of the quilt, and sat up.

"No, he came here today to ask for my help."

"Help, he never likes to ask for help." Bai Yulan said in surprise.

"No way, it's going to snow. The medicinal materials he bought must be put into storage before the snow falls. Otherwise, if they are stored in a place where there is no condition for storage, they may all be broken in one winter." Zhou Sen said, "Isn't our transportation company Trucks, he came to me to borrow two."

"Is it really just a rental car?"

"Really, there are other things to do. His medicinal material business is getting bigger and bigger now, and many of his subordinates eat with him. He can't be as self-willed as before." Zhou Sen said, "Okay, it's getting late, Go to sleep, I got up early this morning, the car bumped me all morning, and all my bones are broken."

"How about I squeeze it for you?"

"Really?"

"It's more real than real. You don't believe my technique?" Bai Yulan said, "My family's bone-setting technique is also excellent for massage."

"Okay, I'll try." Zhou Sen rolled over and lay down on his stomach.

Bai Yulan crossed her fingers, moved her phalanges, and then lifted her feet one by one, with her legs spread apart, and rode up.

"Ugh..."

Zhou Sen's whole body was relaxed, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

Waking up the next morning, refreshed, he leaned over and kissed Bai Yulan, who was still soundly asleep, and Zhou Sen got up to take a shower.

According to the plan, he is going to the Qin family today.

No matter whether he can find out the source of the leak, he will go to the Qin family, and he also needs to know about the "Qunfang Building".

He has already given the conditions, so it depends on whether Qin Xiong will take it or not, it's for Jin Ronggui's face.

"Xiao Rou, is Qin Lang still in the Qin family?" Zhou Sen asked Jiang Rou while having breakfast.

"After the first seven days, he moved back to live." Jiang Judao.

"Well, that's good. I'm going to Qin's house today. I'm afraid I'll meet him. I have some things to say. Since he's not here, it's best." Zhou Sen nodded, "How about the renovation of the new stage?" How is it?"

"It's basically finished, except that the audio equipment ordered hasn't arrived."

"Can the show start on New Year's Day?"

"The equipment has already arrived at Lushun Port, and it will take a week to arrive. It will take at least half a month for installation and commissioning, which is absolutely fine." Jiang Judao.

"The year before was the highlight, when the competition among various stages was the fiercest. After the new stage is renovated, it's up to you whether it can continue its glory." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"Brother, you said that I am under a lot of pressure."

"Don't have any pressure, I just remind you not to lose your main business, it's time to get ready."

"Then for the premiere, brother, can you come?"

"If I hadn't been fettered by something, I would definitely be there." Zhou Sen nodded.

Akiyama nosuke gave him ten days to solve the case, and three days have passed since then, and today is the fourth day.

Although it seems that there is plenty of time, it is actually only a blink of an eye, so he has to hurry up.

……

The Qin family had just finished the funeral, so the family was naturally in a bleak state. When Qin Laoqi was around, even if he was lying on the hospital bed and unable to move, the Qin family was different from what it is now.

And now Qin Laoqi is gone.

Although the Qin family is still there, some things are visibly dissipating. It is a kind of mysterious and mysterious thing, a kind of aura, a kind of momentum!

Don't look at the scenery of Qin Laoqi's funeral, it is also the last ray of sunset, after the sunset, night will eventually come.

The Qin family is no longer that Qin family.

Qin Laoqi is here, even if Qin Lang is expelled from the house, there is still a possibility of turning around, but Qin Laoqi leaves.

The two brothers of the Qin family were destined to part ways.

Although Qin Lang didn't take anything away from the Qin family, the decline of the Qin family has already been foreseen. Whether Qin Xiong can support the Qin family and bring it to the height of Qin Laoqi's time, it seems impossible to see now. to this hope.

Qin Xiong has been promoted from the young master to the master.

As soon as Qin Laoqi left, the aunts in the old house almost left, and it would be unpleasant if they continued to stay.

Therefore, it's better to leave voluntarily. Whether it's to seek refuge with relatives or to make a living outside, it's much better than staying in the Qin family.

For young ones, it is impossible to be widowed in the Qin family for the rest of their lives, and some even have already found their next family. Why should they stay in the Qin family to see the face of the new master?

Therefore, the Qin family's old house suddenly became much deserted.

In the past few days, Qin Xiong basically lived at home, and the business affairs were basically handed over to his subordinates.

"Master, someone from the police station is here." Uncle Xiang appeared at the door of the study, but he didn't go in. Qin Xiong is different from Qin Laoqi, each has its own rules.

Originally, Qin Xiong didn't intend to use the people in front of Qin Laoqi, but he was afraid of outsiders' gossip, so Uncle Xiang stayed like this, but he was old and couldn't work for long, so he clearly resigned.

Qin Xiong stayed for a while and told Uncle Xiang to leave after the Chinese New Year. After all, Uncle Xiang may know many things better than his son.

"Who's here?"

"Zhou Sen."

"What is he here for?" Qin Xiong's face darkened immediately when he heard that. What he hates most now is this name.

His old father-in-law who had just left yesterday called him again and asked him to publish an apology to Bai Yulan in the newspaper and let go of the previous matter.

On the surface, he agreed, but in his heart it was not easy to let it out, and he was unhappy.

Now, this guy actually came to the door.

What does he want to do, do you want to come to your door to persecute yourself and humiliate yourself?

He didn't want to miss it, but right now, he was under too much pressure. On the surface, it was nothing, but deep down he knew very well that if he was a little careless, the Qin family's decades of accumulation would be wiped out in an instant.

Is he willing?

Of course not reconciled.

"Uncle Xiang, who's here?" Jin Yazhen appeared at the door of the study and asked.

"Mrs. Hui, it's Police Officer Zhou Sen from the Police Department." Uncle Xiang took a slight step back and replied with a bow.

"What is he here for?" An angry look appeared on Jin Yazhen's face, "Go ahead and tell me, the master is not at home, let him go."

Uncle Xiang glanced at Jin Yazhen, then at Qin Xiong in the study, but he didn't move or respond.

"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear what I said, let him go, the Qin family doesn't welcome him!" Jin Yazhen was angry.

When Qin Laoqi was around, she didn't dare to shout at Uncle Xiang like this, but now that her father-in-law is gone, she is already the mistress of the family, so why should she care about a servant's face?
"Yes, ma'am." Uncle Xiang reluctantly agreed, Jin Yazhen is the master, he is the servant, how can the servant disobey the master's wishes?
Even if he did something wrong, the enmity could not be brought to him.

"Slow down, Uncle Xiang, go and invite him to serve tea in the living room, just say I'll be there soon." Qin Xiong stopped Uncle Xiang who turned to leave.

"Qin Xiong, you're out of your mind. You still let this kind of person into our house?" Jin Yazhen was furious, and pointed at Qin Xiong's nose and cursed before Uncle Xiang left.

"Yazhen, he is a member of the public family. If he refuses the door, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Let's see his intentions." Qin Xiong didn't want to see Zhou Sen either, but he knew that if he didn't reconcile with Zhou Sen, then he would be in trouble. Qunfang Building will remain sealed.

This is not only a loss of money, but also the Qin family's prestige, which is difficult to measure with money.

The old father-in-law came to Bingcheng, why he left after staying for a few days, he could see why, don't look at Jin Ronggui's high position and weight, it seems to be beautiful, in fact, the officialdom is the cruelest, and it is the most incisive and vivid.

How deterrent is a high-ranking official who has left the ice city for several years and has no control over the ice city?Especially the attitude of the Japanese.

When Jin Ronggui came to Bingcheng, all the people who came were insiders of the Puppet Manchukuo government and former colleagues. Did you see a Japanese coming to the door?
Apart from being greeted at the train station, there is nothing else to do. It's not that Jin Ronggui is useless.

But the Japanese obviously meant to give up on him.

It's not that no one can take his position. This is his biggest crisis. When Qin Laoqi was around, it wasn't obvious. Once Qin Laoqi left, the crisis was revealed.

"If you want to see you, I won't see you." Jin Yazhen snorted coldly, she would never give that Zhou Sen a good face.

"The person he wants to see is me, not you." Qin Xiong said.

Jin Yazhen twisted her waist and went straight back to her room.

In the living room, the maid served tea to Zhou Sen.

Uncle Xiang stood with his hands down. He knew that today's meeting might have an extremely profound impact on the future of the Qin family.

He has served Qin Laoqi all his life, although it is inevitable that people will leave the tea, but Qin Xiong finally did not do too much, and gave him a retired life to go home and have fun with his grandchildren in his old age.

Therefore, he wanted to help Qin Xiong at a critical moment, which could be regarded as complete the friendship between him and Qin Lao Qi as a master and servant.

Before keeping Zhou Sen waiting, Qin Xiong walked down the stairs step by step in a suit and vest, as if condescending and looking down on his opponent.

Zhou Sen sat quietly on the sofa without raising his eyelids.

"Officer Zhou is here, what's the matter?" Qin Xiong walked over, sat down opposite Zhou Sen, and asked with his legs crossed casually.

"Of course, my time is very precious, and I never like to waste it on irrelevant people." Zhou Sen said, "Speaking bluntly, I will now take over the investigation of Ling Yue's assassination case on the train. I'm here today to know something about Mr. Qin. situation."

"What, the police department asked you to investigate the assassination of my father-in-law?" Qin Xiong was shocked, he really didn't receive any news about it.

"Do you suspect that I'm lying to you?" Zhou Sen asked back.

"Officer Zhou, everyone in Bingcheng knows that you and I have a bad relationship. Why did the police department ask you to investigate the assassination of my father-in-law?"

"I don't know about that. The person who took this case was Director Ke Lin Dakuan. I heard that he came to the Qin residence to ask to see Mr. Jin, but you rejected him. Maybe it was because of this consideration..." Zhou Sen said slowly.

Qin Xiong suddenly felt like he had swallowed a fly. Although he didn't like Lin Dakuan either, he hated Zhou Sen even more.

Now that the investigation of the case has been changed from Lin Dakuan to Zhou Sen, it feels like a cocoon.

If Lin Dakuan was still investigating this case, he wouldn't have to face Zhou Sen directly.
