above the point of the knife

Chapter 51 Musashino

Jin Suying was not in her office.

Zhou Sen went directly to the door of Akiyamanosuke's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Mr. Akiyama." Zhou Sen opened the door and came in, and saw Jin Suying standing diagonally across from Akiyamanosuke's desk, probably reporting work.

The woman had been staring at him in the interrogation room just now, and now she came up to report a little earlier than him, and she didn't know what to arrange for herself.

"Secretary Jin, you go out first." Akiyamanosuke looked up at Jin Suying and ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Akiyama." Jin Suying nodded slightly, turned around, glanced at Zhou Sen, and walked out with haughty steps.

"Mr. Akiyama, I would like to report to you about the interrogation work of the main culprit and accomplices in the murder of Sherkin." Zhou Sen walked over, took the position where Jin Suying was just now, and bowed.

"Don't be so cautious, Zhou Senjun, please sit down!"

"Thank you Mr. Akiyama."

"After more than two hours of interrogation, the context of the case has basically been clarified. The principal culprit in this case, Suzanne, coerced Feya, the maid of the Shelkin family, to kill Mr. Shelkin. The motive for the murder was to embezzle all of Mr. Shelkin's family property. This case can be characterized as a well-planned and executed murder!" Zhou Sen sat down and said solemnly.

"What about Suzanne's identity?"

"Incompetent and incompetent, I didn't find anything abnormal about her, but during the interrogation, her performance was indeed different from ordinary people's calmness and composure, which is not something a normal girl can do." Zhou Sen said with his head bowed.

Akiyamanosuke frowned, Zhou Sen's words were indeed well-founded, and there were not many flaws.

And let a policeman who used to patrol the streets and deal with some minor disputes between parents suddenly undertake such a criminal case, which also involves "Soviet Russian" spies, which are related to important secrets and security.

If Zhou Sen can find out this step, it is already the limit of his ability. If he can find out Suzanne's identity, it will be a bit weird.

This case was a test for Zhou Sen, which Akiyama knew very well.

"Well, you write a summary of the investigation process of this case and submit it." Akiyama said, "This case will be closed with you."

"Yes, I'll write it when I get back." Zhou Sen was overjoyed and didn't dare to show it. He finally got rid of this trouble.

"About the matter of the 'priest', give me an answer as soon as possible. It is impossible to hide the news of your adoptive father. According to the rules of the Russian Union of Patriots, you will inherit the position of your adoptive father unless he died A successor has been appointed."

"Mr. Akiyama, since my adoptive father, Mr. Anthony, didn't let me join this organization, I think he doesn't want me to participate in the affairs. After all, I am a Manchurian." Zhou Sen hesitated for a moment, and then instinctively shied away.

And his Chinese identity is the best excuse. As a Tsarist Russian restoration organization, all of them are White Russians. He is a Chinese in an important position. Who will trust him?

"Your concerns are reasonable, but I still hope you think about it. After all, the legitimacy of your succession as a 'priest' is unparalleled." Akiyamanosuke said, for the strategic plan of "Northern Advance", Zhou Sen has Chess pieces are essential.

"Please, Mr. Akiyama, don't embarrass your job." Zhou Sen refused again, he really couldn't do this job.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later, you go first." Akiyamanosuke didn't make things difficult for Zhou Sen, but waved him to leave first.

Zhou Sen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed, then turned and left.

……

Night, Japanese fine dining restaurant: Musashino.

"Yamamoto-kun is here, please take a seat." Changed into a kimono, Akiyamanosuke warmly greeted a handsome Japanese man in his 30s.

Toshi Yamamoto, the monitor of the intelligence team of the Ice City Secret Service, referred to as the Ice Special Agent, this is a special intelligence team newly established by the Bingcheng Secret Service, which is responsible for investigating Bingcheng being captured by White Russia and investigating the movements of "Soviet Russian" spies and intelligence personnel. specialized agencies.

"Where's Shibuya-kun?" As soon as Toshi Yamamoto came in, he drove away the geisha who was accompanying him, and asked Akiyama nosuke directly.

Akiyamanosuke gave a wry smile. Toshi Yamamoto is a workaholic. He would never have come to such a place if he hadn't made an appointment for something.

"Chief Shibuya has an important meeting with General Qin Yan, which may be delayed." Akiyamanosuke explained.

"Huh." Toshi Yamamoto poured himself a drink in his seat.

So arrogant and rude, Akiyama nosuke can't do anything about him. Toshi Yamamoto is a person with a background. Although he is not afraid, there is no need to offend him. Everyone is doing things for the empire. He endured it.

Toshi Yamamoto is an incomprehensible and fastidious person, which has something to do with his background, but Akiyama Nosuke is different, he comes from a famous family, and he must maintain a sense of elegance at all times.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was a rush of footsteps outside the sliding door, and then the door was pulled open from the outside.

Saburo Shibuya, dressed in a police uniform, walked in.

"Akiyama-kun, Yamamoto-kun, you've been waiting for a long time!" Saburo Shibuya came in, greeted the two with a smile, walked to his master's seat and sat down.

"Chief Shibuya, Yamamoto-kun and I have just arrived." Akiyamanosuke hurriedly said, but Yamamoto Toshi was dismissive and didn't speak.

Tonight's small gathering, he didn't come for dinner, he had important matters to discuss.

They can also go to Shibuya Saburo's office, or to Yamamoto Toshi's secret stronghold, but they still choose "Musashino".

Mainly because of the great secrecy and privacy here.

The dishes and drinks have already been served, and the three of them don't need kabuki to serve them, so they can talk behind closed doors.

Of course, there is Koichiro Ono, Shibuya Saburo's adjutant outside.

"Next, I want to say that the base camp has always been a top-secret plan. This plan was formulated by the staff headquarters of the base camp, confirmed by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and handed over to the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters to be responsible for its implementation. Codename: Spring of the Far East. ( This is a fabrication, I believe it to be true)" Saburo Shibuya said seriously.

After hearing this, Akiyamanosuke and Yamamoto Toshi showed a trace of fanaticism and excitement on their faces. It was obvious that they were all supporters of the "Northward Advance" strategy.

"And what you are doing now is the preliminary work of this plan." Saburo Shibuya said.

Akiyamanosuke was a little puzzled, but Toshi Yamamoto showed a "thoughtful" look in his eyes. He knew more than Akiyamanosuke.

"You all know that the work of 'Bear' failed, which has a great impact on our next work. Mr. Anthony Robin was originally a key figure in our next work, but he sacrificed, and 'Bear' 'The failure of the work is because we have an undercover agent from Soviet Russia inside, which caused our plan to be leaked, and we still have no clue about this undercover agent..."

"Chief Shibuya, although our intelligence agency of the Kwantung Army is the executive branch of the 'Bear' work, the plan requires the cooperation of the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the secret is leaked, it may not be inside us." Akiyama analyzed.

"Akiyama-kun is right. Therefore, not only we need to screen internally, but all other people who know about this plan must undergo a secret investigation. However, the investigation takes time. So far, there is no definite result." Shibuya Saburo said.

"Is Anthony Robin also under suspicion?" Akiyama asked.

Toshi Yamamoto took over the conversation: "Of course, all those who participated in this top-secret operation are under suspicion. Anthony Robin is the guide of this operation. Although he died, it doesn't mean that he can't be that Insider."

"So, everything we're doing now is a test for Zhou Sen?" Akiyama nosuke understood why Shibuya Saburo would arrange for him to do something that he didn't quite understand.

"It's also a screening. If Anthony Robin is an insider, then he sent his adopted son Zhou Sen to the police station with ulterior motives. They probably have ulterior motives." Toshi Yamamoto explained.

"what about now?"

"Through my observation, he may be very problematic." Yamamoto Toshi said.

"what is the problem?"

"I ordered someone to install a bug on the chandelier in his study. He never went into the study when he came home at night, but since he learned the news of Anthony's death from Mr. Qiushan, he would stay in the study for a long time every night. , Twice, I also listened to him playing with the radio in the study. He turned the volume of the radio very low, but I could still hear him listening to the Russian broadcast. In addition, the night before yesterday, my bug. Suddenly there was no signal, and he was in the study at the time. I speculated that he had discovered the bug. So I sent someone in the next day when the servant was out, and found that the wire of the bug was connected to the power supply. It was broken, but judging from the break, it didn’t look like it was man-made, and my people reconnected the wire..."

"I listened to the Russian radio in the middle of the night, and found the bug you installed. This kid doesn't seem to be as simple as we saw?" Akiyamanosuke nodded.

"It seems that we have to re-evaluate this Zhou Sen." Shibuya Saburo nodded slightly, "Akiyama-kun, what about your side?"

"The case of Shelkin's murder was solved by him..."

"What?" Yamamoto Toshi was taken aback.

"Yamamoto-kun, don't worry, listen to me. Although he solved the case, he didn't know the real cause of Shelkin's death. He thought it was Suzanne who conspired with the maid of Shelkin's family to commit suicide. I don't think this case can be found here. If the investigation continues, let him close the case!" Akiyamanosuke explained.

"Well, you told him about the 'priest', what was his reaction." Saburo Shibuya nodded and asked.

"He was very resistant, and he didn't seem interested in what his adoptive father Anthony was doing," Akiyama said.

"Chief Shibuya, there is one more thing. This Zhou Sen mortgaged valuable assets such as the equity left to him by Anthony Robin. This may be related to the fact that he and Ivanovic wanted to claim Anthony three days ago. It has something to do with the private seal." Toshihui Yamamoto reported.

"What did he exchange for such a large sum of money?"

"A small part of Japanese yen, most of it is Manchurian currency, but they are all bank checks, not cash." Yamamoto Toshi said.

"It's not cash, which means he didn't mean to run away with the money..."

"What's interesting is that this Zhou Sen seems to have an unknown close relationship with Bai Yulan, the proprietress of the Ningxiang Restaurant in Huifangli, and Bai Yulan is currently facing a crisis. Zhou Sen mortgaged such a large sum of money, it is very Maybe it was to help Bai Yulan." Toshi Yamamoto chuckled, he knew far more than Akiyamanosuke.

"In this way, he doesn't look like a well-trained Cheka at all?"

"According to our observations these days, he is a smart man, but he is a little cowardly, timid, and very sensitive. Like most Chinese people, he is very selfish. Of course, he is also a little bit lustful. This is a common problem of men. ’” Toshi Yamamoto concluded.

"Zhou Sen's identity is useful to us. We have to find out whether Anthony Robin is the ghost planted in us by the Soviet Union!" Saburo Shibuya said heavily, "If not, the next plan is to revolve around him, understand?"

"Hay!"
