Chapter 90 "Anna" Secretary

The roster (list) can be a note, a film negative, or a string of Morse codes...

Everything is possible.

And where it will be hidden, it is even more difficult to say, a person wants to hide something, especially such a small thing.

He can hide in a place you can't think of at all, or it may be a place you can think of but don't pay attention to.

A person's hiding is usually related to his active area, living habits, and his awareness and understanding of safety.

Some people like to put things on themselves.

Some people like to put XZ in their favorite items.

Some people hide things very casually, put them in an inconspicuous place, everyone can see them, but everyone can easily ignore them...

Some people like to put things in strange places, even if they are found, others don't know what it is...

If it was Papa Anthony hiding things, where would he hide such an important "roster"?

Zhou Sen drew the curtains, and in the study, he searched everywhere he could find, even dismantling the radio, but found nothing.

Would he be hiding in that secret room in the storage room downstairs?
While Irina was asleep, he quietly went downstairs and entered the secret room of the storage room. After searching for nearly an hour, he found nothing.

He even searched the storage room, but found nothing.

Will it be hidden in the company?
If it was hidden in the company, Ivanovic should have found it long ago. Will it be his turn?
Could it be that the roster has been handed over to someone for safekeeping by him, and the most likely person is the assistant of Papa Anthony, Shelkin, as the Japanese say.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Sweating all over and tossing and tossing until midnight, Zhou Sen went back to his room to lie down and rest.

Early the next morning, Wu En drove to pick up Zhou Sen and go to "Sen" Ji on Haicheng Street, which was agreed before.

"Boss, a lady named Anna came over early in the morning." Getting off the carriage, Gu Lao Liu came to meet him with a lewd smile.

"Understood, she is an assistant assigned to me by the super high stock market, as long as you know it, just don't inquire about it, and keep in touch with it." Zhou Sen warned seriously.

"Understood, Boss." Gu Lao Liu is also a person who is afraid of causing trouble, and his shares are very high, which means that there are many secrets.

"Where's Ye San'er?"

"He has a bit of a cold, and he went to see a doctor after he died." Gu Lao Liu said.

"Where did you fool around last night?"

"I'm not sure about this. When he comes back, you can ask him." Gu Laoliu couldn't say much.

"He is now your subordinate, please take good care of him, don't let him cause trouble again, it will cause trouble for you." Zhou Sen reminded Gu Laoliu that Ye San'er is now his subordinate.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely remind him..." Gu Laoliu quickly agreed.

……

The outline of Anna's face has indeed changed, and her hair has also been dyed a kind of brownish yellow, which is different from "Susanna"'s brown hair. Moreover, Anna's temperament is completely different from "Susanna".

The Suzanne that Zhou Sen knew was gentle and kind, a little shy, and a bit of a petite woman, but Anna was capable and cold.

"Zhou Sen, this is part of the items that belonged to Mr. Shelkin that we took away from the "Songjiang Daily". Now I will give it to you." Anna brought a large leather box.

"It's no wonder that the people of Songjiang Daily have such an attitude towards Shelkin's death. It turns out that they knew about it a long time ago."

"Not everyone knows about it. It's just that the senior management of their newspaper knows something about it." Anna explained, "So, Shelkin's death was handled in a low-key manner."

"Do you also mean to dispose of Shelkin's relics left at the newspaper?"

"We took some things away. If you don't dispose of the rest, you will definitely be suspicious when you come to the door." Anna said.

"No wonder I found that some of Shelkin's relics were missing, but because I didn't think it had much to do with the case at the time, and the case was closed later, I didn't mention it again, but it was mentioned in the report I submitted." Zhou Sen said.

"I saw that Mr. Zhou Sen's investigative reasoning ability is amazing." Anna bowed her head slightly, appreciating it.

"Don't, I'm all brainstorming. In fact, my personal strength is limited. If you praise me for writing a good report, then I admit that the entire Nangang Police Department, and even the Police Department, have better literary talents than me. There are not many. "Zhou Sen said brazenly.

"You are completely two people in front of Chief Shibuya, and in front of me."

"Hehe, this is normal. People are one body with two sides. Why are you different? Under the pressure of the majesty of this officer, whoever is not cautious and nervous, saying the wrong thing will have serious consequences." Zhou Sen hehe With a smile, he opened the suitcase directly in front of Anna.

The first thing that catches the eye is an almost [-]% new German-made Leica camera with a telephoto lens.

The market price of this camera is several hundred dollars at least.

Then there is the film of the month that disappeared, the diary, and of course some personal items, a silver cigarette case, a lighter, a Parker pen, and a wallet...

When the police searched for evidence, he also noticed some things, especially the lack of belongings with Shelkin.

At first I thought it was the murderer who cleaned the scene and took it away, but now it seems that it is not.

Zhou Sen didn't try any of them, so he directly closed the box: "You bring these things, are they..."

"Yes, the right to dispose of these things belongs to you." Anna nodded.

"Thank you, then I'll be more polite." Zhou Sen chuckled, closed the box, picked it up, and carried it into his small bedroom.

"I don't have a desk for you here, except for my small private room where you rest. You can move freely and do whatever you want. Of course, if you don't want to spend time with me, you can come and go freely." Zhou Sen came out again and introduced him very friendly.

"Didn't you register a 'Sen'ji company, I can be your secretary." Anna said.

"But I don't have anything that I need you to help me with?" Zhou Sen frowned, "Sen" remembered that it was his private land, and the Japanese would also want to intervene, it was too much.

"I just want an identity. I don't care about the matter between you and Bai Yulan in Ningxiang Pavilion, and I won't ask too much." Anna said.

"Okay, then I'll wrong Miss Anna." Zhou Sen thought for a while and nodded. This person cannot be driven away for the time being.

"Thank you."

"Miss Anna, is my time now at my discretion?" Zhou Sen asked, Anna was sent by Saburo Shibuya to supervise him.

"Mr. Zhou Sen is free, but if you go out, I have to follow." Anna nodded.

"Then don't I have no privacy at all?"

"Don't worry, if you go home or go to Ningxiang Pavilion, I won't follow you." Anna said.

"Actually, you don't have to follow me all day. I'm protected by Wu En. That's the big man sweeping the floor outside the door. He's a wrestler with agility. Regardless of your training, you're really no match for him." , if you don’t believe me, you can compete with him.” Zhou Sen said with a chuckle, pointing to Wu En who was sweeping the floor outside.

"I might not be able to beat him, but here, I might be much better than him." Anna ignored Zhou Sen at all and pointed to his head.

Zhou Sen smiled sheepishly. He couldn't talk today, so he went to work on his own affairs. The "Heart Sutra" that Bai Yulan gave him hadn't finished framing yet.

And the signboard of "Sen" written by myself should also be installed.

It's all technical work.

"Mr. Zhou Sen can also frame calligraphy and paintings?" Anna came over and asked curiously.

"I learned it from others when I was young." Zhou Sen said without raising his head. Anyway, he couldn't explain it, so he directly pushed it to happen before he was ten years old.

It is normal for those who specialize in mounting calligraphy and painting to learn from their family members since they were young, but this skill is easy to learn and difficult to master. In addition to mounting, there is restoration, which is the real test of technology.

Ordinary people learn roughly, and then study it on their own. Mounting calligraphy and painting is not a big problem, but if you want to do it well, the mounted calligraphy and painting can be preserved for a longer time, then it is not easy to deal with it.

"Is this written by Boss Bai?" Anna was surprised when she saw Bai Yulan's name and personal seal on the signature.

"Miss Anna also knows calligraphy?"

"Understand a little." Anna nodded. "When I was training in Japan, I learned a little bit from a Japanese teacher. His calligraphy level should not be as good as Boss Bai's."

"Miss Anna, are you really related to Mr. Barov?" Zhou Sen nodded curiously.

"I just borrowed this identity. In fact, his niece died of illness a long time ago." Anna explained.

"Oh, I see."

"Mr. Zhou Sen, do you want to know about my past?"

"I have no intention of prying into your privacy and past, but we are on the same boat now, and we should get to know each other, right?" Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"Well, what do you want to know, I can tell you, I won't hide it, if I can't say it, then I'm sorry." Anna was very frank.

"Are your parents still there?"

Anna's complexion changed slightly. It was obvious that the question was beyond her expectations, but she thought about it and replied: "My father joined the Army of the Route Guards and died in the Battle of the Middle East Route. I don’t know where I am now because my younger brother remarried.”

"Why didn't your mother bring you with her when she remarried?" Zhou Sen was very surprised. After her mother remarried, she took her son with her, but not her daughter. Is this really strange?
"I don't want to go with that man." Anna said the reason, "I entered a nursery, and then I was sent to Japan."

Zhou Sen nodded, expressing his understanding. According to the calculation of time, Anna's father died and her mother remarried within ten years at most.

Ten years ago, Anna was at least ten years old. Ten-year-old children basically understand a little bit, not to mention that girls mature earlier than boys. It is normal for Anna not to want to leave her mother.

"What's your real name?"

"..."
