above the point of the knife

Chapter 97 The big man is here

woohoo...

Click, click...

With the sound of a long siren, a black train slowly drove into Bingcheng Station. As soon as the train stopped, the crowd in the train became commotion.

But the station was under martial law today, and Japanese soldiers wearing gendarmerie armbands stood on the platform one by one.

High security.

With this posture, it seems that some important person has come to the ice city.

A pair of mentors and apprentices squeezed into a four-person sleeper compartment. The air in the compartment was dirty and stuffy. They wanted to get out of the car to take a breath of fresh air. They set off from the pass and came all the way.

Similar to this pair of master and apprentice, the passengers in the car have been walking on this road for almost a week, and they finally arrived at Bingcheng, and no one is allowed to get off the bus when they arrive in Bingcheng, this big guy is naturally angry .

"Master, what's the matter, there are a lot of Japanese soldiers outside..." Xiao Hai, a young apprentice, moved to the window and looked out excitedly.

"Don't mind your own business, and remember to take care of the box later. If you lose it, you can go back to your hometown in Shandong." The master teacher Liang Yiming sat on the bed, like an old monk in meditation, unmoved by foreign objects.

"Don't worry, Master." The little apprentice assured.

……

There are indeed important people coming today, not only the platform is heavily guarded, except for the military police, even the garrison has been mobilized.

And the incoming train is not allowed to leave get out of class, obviously it is allowed to get off the train only after the important people on the train get off.

After waiting for a full 10 minutes, the police came to inform us that we could get off the bus.

The master and apprentice got off the car with the suitcase, stepped onto the platform, took a breath of cold air, and looked up at the gray sky.

It's finally here, the days in the car are really hard, if not for a young apprentice, the journey of the master would be much more lonely.

Pairs of gendarmes lined up and withdrew from the platform, obviously the big shots had already got out of the car and were picked up.

Naturally, there is no need for vigilance at the station.

The master and apprentice walked across the platform, passed the exit, checked the ticket and identity certificate, and then let them go.

"Master, you're back home, why don't you look very happy?" the little apprentice said, carrying the suitcase and looking back at his master.

The master's mood is a bit complicated. After all, he has been away from his hometown for seven or eight years. When he comes back, he is naturally a little timid.

Jingle, jingle...

After exiting the station, a tram stopped in front of the platform where the two were, and the master and apprentice got on the car heading out of the road.

North Third Street.

The master and apprentice stood in front of a dilapidated house, a little dumbfounded, although eight years had passed, the house was still there.

After entering, the yard is full of snow, even if the snow is frozen and cleaned, it will take three to five days.

Now it is obviously not able to live in people.

"Liang Zi is back?" A man with a cane appeared at the door, and when he saw the returning master and apprentice, he immediately recognized him.

"Uncle Gui, I'm back." Liang Yiming turned around, saw the familiar old neighbor's face, and hurried over to greet him.

"Where have you been for so many years? I haven't heard about you. Do the neighbors still talk about you?" The old man was a little excited.

"I went back to my hometown in Shandong, and then I did business outside for a few years." Back then, they all went to the Guandong, and their ancestral home was in Shandong.

"Oh, just come back." The old man said happily, seeing the little apprentice behind Liang Yiming, he asked, "Liang Zi, this is?"

"My apprentice, Xiao Hai." Liang Yiming introduced, "Xiao Hai, your name is Grandpa Gui."

"Hi, grandpa." Xiao Hai bowed politely.

"Okay, no, Liangzi, this kid is polite, not bad." Gui old man said, "In the blink of an eye, you have also accepted apprentices, okay, the craftsmanship of the old Liang family can finally be passed on. I came here eating the dishes cooked by your father, I thought I would never eat them in this life, I never thought you would come back."

"Uncle Gui wants to eat, that's no problem. This time I'm back, I won't leave. When the time comes, I'll invite all the old neighbors over and make it for you to eat." Liang Yiming said.

"Okay, okay, Liang Zi, you can't live in this house, let's compare, go to my house, I still have a vacant room, you two, master and apprentice, squeeze together first?"

"No, Uncle Gui, we have already opened a room in the hotel, and besides, we will only stay for a few days, and we will come back to live when the house is packed up." Liang Yiming quickly declined, he didn't want to cause trouble for others, Besides, he has more important things to do, and it must be extremely inconvenient to live in someone else's house.

"Master, I'm hungry..."

"Let's go, let's go eat first." A half-sized child like Xiao Hai, who is growing up, eats a lot and gets hungry easily.

Although I haven't been back for eight years, the street has not changed, and the houses on the street have not changed much, but many familiar shops have disappeared, and there are many more "Japanese-style" signs.

Japanese people can be seen everywhere, more common than in cities in Kannai.

"Xiao Hai, I'm going to buy some daily necessities later, you go back first, clear the snow in the yard, and wait for me when I come back." After eating, Liang Yiming ordered the little apprentice.

"Master, you can come back early."

"Understood, if I don't come back before dark, you can lock the door and go back to the hotel directly." Liang Yiming waved his hand and said.

"Oh."

……

"Newspapers are on sale, big news, big news!" The shouts of newsboys spread throughout the streets and alleys, especially loud today.

"The mysterious man captured the heart of the number one beauty outside the Tao!"

"Boss Bai of Ningxiang Pavilion attended the engagement banquet of Su Wenqing's daughter with her new boyfriend..."

"Bai Yulan is an old cow who eats young grass, and her new boyfriend is suspected to be Xiaokai from a rich family?"

"Shocking! Who will the White Widow get?..."

……

In the newspapers, almost without exception, there were news about Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan attending the engagement banquet of Su Wenqing's daughter Su Yun, and some even included photos.

Some newspapers even put their news on the front page headlines, but last night the beautiful couple only had a few words of introduction.

Not to mention some lace tabloids, fully expand the space of imagination, and almost write a novel about the love and hatred between Zhou Sen, Bai Yulan and Su Wenqing.

Add oil and vinegar, and use all kinds of words.

The party, Zhou Sen, got up in the morning, had breakfast, and drove to Haicheng Street "Sen" to work as usual.

He doesn't even bother to go to the police station now, it seems that people with high shares in the secret service department don't want to go to the police station at all.

So, he lived a leisurely life, but Zhou Sen knew that his leisure time was only a few days away, and the time for training was getting closer.

"Brother, are you really with Boss Bai?" As soon as we arrived at "Sen", Ye San'er rushed in as if he was on fire before he sat down and warmed up the chair.

Zhou Sen ignored him, and took a sip of hot tea slowly: "Who did you listen to?"

"It's all said in the newspapers, look at what's written on it..." Ye San'er took a few newspapers and put them in front of Zhou Sen.

"Not bad, have you learned to read newspapers?" Zhou Sen glanced at the contents of the newspapers, he had expected this situation a long time ago.

Those reporters saw him and Bai Yulan arm in arm outside the New World Hotel last night, as if a wolf asked about the smell of meat, there must be news about them in today's newspaper.

The Japanese blocked the news from the outside world and did not let the common people know, so they could only have some fun from the news that was not local.

The next home of the number one beauty outside the Tao has concerned many people's hearts.

As soon as the news broke out, didn't the newspapers in Bingcheng have a collective carnival?
"Although I can't recognize many words, I can't make mistakes in the photos. Brother, you have such a face, you are..."

"Turn into ashes and know?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, just say it, everyone is talking about it." Ye San'er apologized hastily.

"So what if it is, so what if it's not, is this something you worry about?" Zhou Sen snorted.

"If this is true, wouldn't we call Boss Bai 'sister-in-law' when we see him in the future?"

"Call if you want, no one is stopping you." Zhou Sen chuckled, admitting in disguise.

"Understood." Ye San'er immediately beamed with joy.

"Okay, what should I do, don't get in the way of me." Zhou Sen waved his hand, signaling Ye San'er to go out quickly, and then picked up the newspaper on the table.

It's strange, Anna didn't come today, isn't she closely monitoring and protecting her safety?

I don't care about her, it's more comfortable if she doesn't come.

I can't go to the Ningxiang Pavilion today. It's on the cusp of the storm. Keep calm and keep a low profile. It's not too late to go tomorrow.

No, I still have to call Bai Yulan to inquire about the situation.

……

On the second floor of Nangang Police Station, there is a kendo practice room.

Akiyamanosuke fought with a Japanese policeman named Kobayashi until he completely knocked him down, then reached out to remove the hood, and Jin Suying hurriedly handed over a hot towel.

"Did you go to President Su's daughter's engagement banquet last night?" Akiyamanosuke wiped his sweat and untied the protective gear on his body under the service of Jin Suying.

"Yes, Mr. Akiyama."

"How is it, how do you feel?" Akiyama nosuke smiled, changed into a large kimono, and asked.

"There are so many guests, the scene is huge, it's very lively."

"Manchurians just like to talk about ostentation and saving face. This is their weakness." Akiyama said.

"Yes, these are flashy things."

"You're right. It's all flashy. In the face of great strength, these are all jokes." Akiyamanosuke said, "Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan from the Ningxiang Pavilion also went?"

"Ah."

"You don't seem to be happy?" Akiyama nosuke reached out and grabbed Jin Suying's hand, and stroked it gently, without feeling at all that his doing so violated the relationship between the superior and the subordinate.

"I'm not happy, I just can't understand how he looks like a villain." Jin Suying said with a curled lip.

"The villain is successful, haha, you describe it really well, but he is very important to the empire now, so you'd better not provoke him, otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to protect you." Akiyama's assistant Along the way, Jin Suying fell into his arms with an "oh".

"If he caused such a big disturbance, the higher-ups don't care about it?"

"It's not something you worry about..."

……

Nangang Park, Triangle Pavilion.

"Are you at least half an hour behind the agreed time?"

After receiving the signal, Liang Yiming, who came here in disguise, sat down on the chair and said, "I just arrived in Bingcheng, so why don't I familiarize myself with the environment?"

"This is the target person."

A rolled newspaper was stuffed from below, Liang Yiming took it, slowly opened the newspaper, looked at a photo, the back of the photo was the target person's information.

"You guys are too careless, let me work before I take a breath?" Liang Yiming said dissatisfied.

"We don't want to either. There was an accident and we couldn't find a suitable person, so we let you take care of it." The person opposite said.

"Martial law was imposed when the train I was taking arrived at the station today. Has anyone arrived in Bingcheng?" Liang Yiming did not refuse, but talked about another matter.

"I don't know yet. I'll let you know when there's news. You should find a place to settle down as soon as possible and find a cover job, so that you can lurk for a long time."

"I know, you, you should pay attention to the news in the newspaper." Liang Yiming got up, stuffed the newspaper into his coat pocket, and quickly got up and left.

From the beginning to the end, the two people did not face each other, did not see each other's appearance.

This is the best way to protect both parties.
