above the point of the knife

Chapter 54

Regarding the death of Anthony's father, Akiyamanosuke still refused to say more, and Zhou Sen had no choice but to force the other party.

I can only give up for the time being.

But it can be seen from this that what Papa Anthony is carrying out is very likely to be a top-secret mission, otherwise, there is no need to keep it secret. Everyone is dead, and even the family members cannot disclose it.

Come out of Akiyamanosuke's office.

Zhou Sen was a little melancholy, the days to come might be even more difficult, although the super high class of the special affairs department of the police station is far from the super high class of the gendarmerie.

But this is an out-and-out secret service department, and Akiyama Nosuke must let him do spy work.

run.

Going to the territory of Soviet Russia, wherever you can go, if you don’t starve to death in winter, you will have to freeze to death on the road.

Zhou Sen didn't have the courage to go to the pass alone without taking transportation and without assistance.

At least not yet.

"Boss, we're going to take a bath, do you want to go?" Back at the warehouse, Gu Laoliu and the others are going to leave work early. Today is a new year, and the people on the street have all returned home early, so they will leave work early .

"I'm not going, you guys go." Zhou Sen couldn't be in the mood to take a bath, he was still worrying about going to the super high stock market.

"Okay, then let's go." Gu Lao Liu didn't force it, after all, the bathhouse they went to was not a high-end place, and there was a mix of fish and dragons.

"Go, go, take care of Xiao Hu."

"Do not worry."

"Xiao Yao, don't be too busy. Go back early. I'll do it here." Only Zhou Sen and Yao Yuling were left in the warehouse. Wipe honey.

"Okay, Brother Sen, then I'll go back first." Yao Yuling nodded, took the scarf, put on her coat and left.

Well, the big warehouse suddenly became deserted.

Father Anthony is from Russia, and Russia does not have the custom of having a small year, so the family should be the same as usual at this time.

Zhou Sen suddenly felt an urge not to go back. That home might still have a strong sense of belonging to the original body, but to him, it was just a place to sleep, not even as warm as this warehouse. .

But if you don't go back by yourself, where can you go?

After tidying up, Zhou Sen also closed the door and left. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sound of people offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord and setting off firecrackers could be heard.

The air was also filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Zhou Sen sniffed his nose, a little choking, he was actually not very courageous since he was a child, he dared not set off firecrackers, but he also liked watching others set off firecrackers the most.

In this situation, he misses his parents and family in another time and space, and wonders if they are doing well.

"The Stove Prince, whose surname is Zhang; a bowl of cold water and three sticks of incense..."

Listening to the nursery rhymes sung by the children, Zhou Sen's eyes were red and moist. He really missed "home".

"Uncle, eat candy!"

"Thank you." Zhou Sen took the sesame candy from a little girl, and just about to say a few more words, the little girl's mother ran over nervously, pulled the little girl back, and taught her a lesson as she walked." Don't talk to strangers."

He didn't know whether it was the wrong way or something in his heart, but he found that he was going in the opposite direction to go home.

Because of the New Year's Eve, the street was very lively, Zhou Sen thought it would be boring to go back so early, so he didn't just take a stroll.

It is also good to experience the night market in Bingcheng.

Clean up your mood and move forward with the crowd.

Daowai District is the earliest area to be developed in Ice City. Although the high-rise buildings here are not as good as other newly built areas, it is still the busiest area in Ice City.

Although most of the streets are Baroque-style buildings, most of the people living here are Chinese.

A small western-style building here is much more expensive than those in other districts.

Unlike Coats Street where Zhou Sen lives now, there are rich people from Belarus living nearby. It's okay during the day, but it's much deserted at night.

If you want to talk to someone, you can't go to the door, there is no fireworks.

It's different here, the neon lights are flashing on the street, you can still hear the cries of hawkers, the crowds are crowded, it's very lively.

Before he knew it, Zhou Sen found himself approaching the Ningxiang Pavilion.

He couldn't help but think of the matter that his colleagues in the office discussed in the afternoon, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

How to put it this way, he also regards Bai Yulan as his own woman in his heart, and who can be happy about being coveted by other men?
Do you want to meet up with me?

Zhou Sen was a little moved.

He also wanted to know, what exactly was Su Wenqing looking for Bai Yulan for? Was he really here to propose marriage?
Huifangli is one of the most famous romantic places in Bingcheng. At night, this place is definitely the most dazzling place, because it is the place where the off-road entertainment is concentrated.

Whether it was Lao Zhang in the past or the Japanese, they all chose the same method, which is to centralize the management of these romantic places, because it can not only gather customers, but also collect a large amount of taxes.

You know, as long as the business is hidden, it will be difficult to collect and pay taxes, but once it is centralized, it will be much easier to manage.

Of course, there is not only Huifangli in Bingcheng, there are several other places with similar romantic places.

In addition to the Ningxiang Pavilion, there are many romantic places in Huifangli, such as Yingchun Garden, Xianglian Class, Taoyuan Shuyu, Defeng Xiachu, etc., with various names.

These romantic places also have levels. The Ningxiang Pavilion is a relatively high-end place. In the past, high-ranking officials and celebrities in the political and business circles basically entered and exited. up.

The level of Ningxiang Hall is cheaper than that of the surrounding venues, Yingyingyanyan, playing and singing, and even the voices of the turtles and gentlemen are much louder than before.

The smell of rouge and gouache was too strong, and Zhou Sen's nasal passage was itchy, and he had already sneezed several times in a row.

He didn't dare to get too close, maybe some of these people knew him, and watched how they flirted with the guests.

If this is entangled by them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.

What's more, he doesn't like these vulgar fans.

The door of Ningxiang Pavilion was closed tightly, the lanterns outside the door were not lit, and the signs surrounded by neon lights were also extinguished.

Well, the big house is quiet.

Today is the new year, and the Ningxiang Pavilion is not open for business. The servants who help in this pavilion have all been sent home on vacation.

The sisters who are still in the Ningxiang Pavilion have no business, so they either rest or organize their own games to have fun by themselves.

Some went to hang out in other places. You don't do business, and you can't stop others from making money, so Bai Yulan didn't stop them, as long as you can find a way, just go.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the business outside is getting better and better, and the Ningxiang Restaurant has closed down by itself. This is tantamount to suicide, and many people are surprised.

Zhou Sen didn't go through the front door. The front door was too noisy, so he went through the back door, which was quieter and less likely to be spotted.

Knock for a long time.

Finally, footsteps were heard inside.

"Who is it?"

When Zhou Sen heard it, he was overjoyed, it was A Xiang's voice, and he was worried that the person who opened the door would be someone he didn't know, so it would be difficult to explain, so he reported himself: "I, Zhou Sen."

The door creaked open, Ah Xiang saw Zhou Sen, and said pleasantly, "Brother Sen, why is it you?"

"How could it not be me?" Zhou Sen chuckled, and squeezed in through the crack of the door, "Close the door."

"Sister Lan was talking about you just now, so you came here." A Xiang closed the door and put the latch on the top.

"Is there nothing good to say about her appointment?"

"Sister Lan is afraid that you will be involved..." Ah Xiang said.

"Is it because Su Wenqing has been here?"

"Brother Sen, you know everything?" Ah Xiang asked in surprise.

"You forgot what I do. I don't know if there's such a thing." Zhou Sen chuckled. It's good to be able to brag in front of the little girl and satisfy a sense of vanity.

"Brother Sen, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Well, I just walked all the way after get off work." Zhou Sen nodded.

"Sister Lan didn't eat either."

"Let's go, just solve the problem. If you don't eat, your health will be bad." Zhou Sen walked in front and went straight to the courtyard where Bai Yulan lived.

dong dong...

The door was ajar, and Zhou Sen had already seen a slender silhouette sitting on the sofa, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a lingering melancholy in his brows.

Perhaps because he was distracted, Zhou Sen didn't hear the knock on the door, so Zhou Sen pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ah Xiang said, you don't want to eat?"

"No appetite..." Bai Yulan replied naturally, but soon realized that the voice of the person speaking was wrong. When she looked up, she was shocked when she saw that it was Zhou Sen, "Why did you come in? ?”

"He walked in."

"You, who let you in, Ah Xiang, a dead girl, did she pamper her too much!" Bai Yulan's pretty face showed an angry look.

When a beautiful woman gets angry, she looks good. This is true. Men are really cheap sometimes, and when they see beautiful women, they can't walk.

"You are wrong to blame Axiang. I knocked on the door, but you didn't say no to let in." Zhou Sen laughed and spoke for Axiang.

"When did you buy her off, and she actually turned to an outsider like you?" Bai Yulan said with a slightly pale face.

"Don't say that, Ah Xiang is also concerned about you." Zhou Sen sat down and said, "She knows that no one can help you now except me."

"How can you help me?" Bai Yulan asked.

"Ice City is not the only place where Su Wenqing has a warehouse that can store cotton cloth. As long as we can rent another warehouse, we can transport our cotton cloth there."

"You said it lightly. The warehouse for storing cotton cloth needs to be dry and fireproof. The warehouse is damp and the cotton cloth is moldy. Once the water leaks, it will be even more lost!"

"You signed a storage agreement with Su Wenqing, right? If the warehouse leaks, he will pay for it?" Zhou Sen asked.

"You don't mean to..." Bai Yulan covered her mouth and gave him a blank look.

"This is a way of killing fish and breaking nets. It is not necessary before this step." Zhou Sen said, "I don't know the storage situation of this cotton cloth. Is there a warehouse in Bingcheng that can store our cotton cloth?"

"Of course there is, but at this time, no one would dare to offend Su Wenqing." Bai Yulan nodded.

"You can't rent it, but I can." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"You..." Bai Yulan was stunned, and immediately understood that if she rented a warehouse, those warehouse owners would not dare to rent it to her for fear of offending Su Wenqing, but Zhou Sen was different, they would offend a policeman, especially Zhou Sen There is another identity, the young owner of Anthony's company.

"But, in this way, your relationship with me will be exposed?"

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Sen looked at Bai Yulan and asked.

"I'm afraid I'll drag you into this vortex, and then you won't think so." Bai Yulan said slowly.

"People in the world will only say that you, Bai Yulan, the number one beauty outside the Dao, used a beauty trick to confuse me, so you recklessly stepped forward to help you. I might even be a victim." Zhou Sen chuckled.

Bai Yulan couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, it really was a possibility.
