above the point of the knife

Chapter 232 Follow My Rules
"Zhou Sen, what do you think of the 'Yiyou' bookstore case?" Akiyamanosuke raised his head and asked directly.

"Subordinates feel that this case is not complicated. Although Officer Tang Fei was too hasty in the process of handling this case, he is also eager to make contributions. After all, his authority is limited. In addition, he did not know the situation in the bookstore at the beginning. When it comes to such a case, the first choice is to arrest the person."

"Well, what you said makes sense. In that case, arresting people may not be the best, but it is the fastest." Akiyama nosuke agreed with Zhou Sen's judgment.

Objectively speaking, Tang Fei couldn't resist the temptation and directly ordered the arrest, but his initial judgment was not wrong.

Who would have thought that such a small bookstore would hide such a big fish.

Therefore, Tang Fei cannot be blamed for acting rashly.

"Based on my understanding of the CCP's underground party, this point has been exposed, and anyone who has had contact with this point will immediately move and hide. Now that a day has passed, even if we block the news, I'm afraid it will be too late... "Akiyama's help is actually very angry.

The case came too suddenly, just as Corey used all his strength to capture the Soviet Russian prisoner who had escaped from the army hospital.

But this is likely to be his first major case since he became the chief of the secret service department. If it is solved, then he will be completely established in the secret service department.

"I originally wanted to hand over this case to you, but now it seems that there is basically no possibility of digging deeper into this case."

I thank you!

It's too late for Zhou Sen to hide in this kind of case, and he is still responsible. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?
"Tang Fei is still interrogating the Communist Party surnamed Luo. Go and see if you can help. If not, let him go." Akiyamanosuke ordered.

"Yes, Section Chief." Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the words, this was a legitimate excuse to inquire about the news.

……

The underground torture room of the Police Department.

Zhou Sen came down with a feeling of apprehension. He came with orders, so naturally no one stopped him or asked more questions.

There are many torture rooms here, and the walls of the torture rooms are covered with various instruments of torture, each of which is stained with the blood of innocent people.

It's cold, and the lights are flickering. This is probably the most gloomy place in the entire Police Department building.

The piercing screams came from the torture room.

The executioners have long adapted to this kind of perverted fun of torturing people every day. Their minds have long been numb and twisted, and they can no longer be called human beings.

"Surnamed Luo, do you want to say it or not..." Tang Fei's growling voice rushed out, shaking Zhou Sen's eardrums.

"Hey, traitorous dog! You people will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history sooner or later..."

"Stay stubborn, beat me, beat me hard!" Tang Fei was spat on, and angrily ordered his subordinates to continue to torture.

Zhou Sen knew that it was not suitable for him to go in at this time, but when he heard the screams, he felt a fire in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.

After all, what you see on paper is not as shocking as what you see with your own eyes.

No one can come in here, so there is not even a guard at the door of the torture room.

In fact, the door is not locked, just push it open.

When the executioners heard the sound, they all turned their heads in astonishment, stopped the whips in their hands, and looked at Zhou Sen who came in from the door.

"Director Zhou, why are you here?" Tang Fei's eyes were red, obviously he was stunned and irritated at the meeting, and coming down now is like knocking the bookstore owner's mouth open.

"The chief asked me to come down and have a look, see if I can help you?" Zhou Sen walked in, covering his mouth and nose slightly.

"That's a good thing. It would be great if Director Zhou could help me pry this guy's mouth open."

"No, I can't even do things that you can't do." Zhou Sen said hastily, "I'm just here for a formality."

Tang Fei understood. The section chief told him to come down. He couldn't disobey the order, and he didn't intend to claim credit. In other words, he didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of this case.

Anyway, just one meaning, you do it yourself, I don't care.

"Director Zhou, will you just watch?"

"Officer Tang, come on, come out and smoke a cigarette, take a breath, what's so interesting about beating people." Zhou Sen called Tang Fei out, and he couldn't stand psychologically watching his compatriots being tortured.

"Okay."

Zhou Sen handed Tang Fei a cigarette, lit it for him, and lit one himself, and the two of them started smoking outside the door, listening to the screams inside.

"What is the identity of this Luo, have you figured it out?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I don't know, every bone is terribly hard. This guy has fainted three times. He either yells at him or keeps silent."

"Didn't you catch three fellows, so you couldn't find a breakthrough from the three of them?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Same, both smelly and hard like the stinky stones in the latrine."

"Is this the same for the Communist Party?"

"Well, anyway, the Communist Party I've seen is like this, and there are very few weak bones." Tang Fei nodded and said.

"Then it's not easy to interrogate. Don't they have any family members?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Yes, I caught it too, it's useless." Tang Fei shook his head.

Zhou Sen would not say such nonsense as to why his wife and children were worse than his wife and children. If he really had this understanding, how could these people be traitors and become the lackeys of the Japanese invaders who brutally suppressed the common people?

"I'm just here to take a look. I'll give you the report you want this afternoon. Maybe it can help you." Zhou Sen finished smoking a cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stamped out the cigarette end.

"Okay, then I won't send it off, I will find you in the afternoon." Tang Fei nodded.

"it is good."

After inquiring about the news, Zhou Sen's goal had already been achieved, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he could not help but stop.

Better yet, out of sight.

He can't save them himself, even if he can, he can't save them. His job is not to save people. Once he is exposed, the hard work of so many people before will be in vain.

He can tell which is more important.

……

"Okay, the report is finished. Everyone stayed up all night with me yesterday. You can go back to rest early today, and come to work on time tomorrow." Zhou Sen released his subordinates in advance.

"Thank you, Director!"

"What about you?" Anna asked.

"I still have to wait for Tang Fei to come over and give him the report. Go back first and leave me alone." Zhou Sen waved his hand.

Everyone nodded and left one after another.

Zhou Sen waited in the office for a long time before Tang Fei came over. He almost forgot that he had to come to Zhou Sen to pick up the report.

Before coming, I even washed my face with cold water to refresh myself a bit.

"The report is here. Do you want to read it here and give me your opinion, or take it back and read it?" Zhou Sen handed the report to him, got up and made him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." While reading the report, Tang Fei stretched out his hand to pick up the coffee and took a sip, "That's right, Director Zhou, your coffee tastes better than the one I drank in Modern."

"Hehe, Officer Tang likes it, and I will come here often." Zhou Sen chuckled. The way he handles things in the police department is that he doesn't take the initiative to make friends, but he will not refuse others who want to associate with him.

"Don't call me Police Officer Tang, it's a bit of an idiot, just call me Old Tang," Tang Fei said.

"Then don't call me Director Zhou, you can just call me Xiao Zhou." Zhou Sen laughed, "If there is any problem in the report, I can immediately answer and modify it."

"This bookstore will hold some discussions and studies from time to time. Usually, those people will participate. Is there a specific list?" Tang Fei is also an old policeman, and he immediately discovered the valuable information in the report.

"There is a list, and I have attached it, but I don't know if they are real people. They only have a name and no other specific information, or the names are just pseudonyms and code names." Zhou Sen took a sip Tea said.

"Can't we arrest people according to the list?"

"It's not my job to arrest people." Zhou Sen said slowly.

"Yes, what do you think this gang of Communists are trying to do? They have a good life, but they must fight against the Great Japanese Empire..." Tang Fei sighed.

"If you approve my report, sign it, and go through the formalities, then my work here will be considered as an end." Zhou Sen said with a chuckle.

"Thanks for your hard work. Your report is very detailed and better than the ones I have collaborated with before." Tang Fei raised the report in his hand and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I will definitely come here often when I am free."

"You are welcome at any time." Zhou Sen nodded and got up to see him off. When Tang Fei's back disappeared, his face slowly turned cold.

……

"Ah Xiang, boil the water, I want to take a bath!" Back at Ningxiang Pavilion, Zhou Sen told Ah Xiang that in winter, taking a hot bath is the best way to relieve fatigue and get a good night's sleep .

"Okay."

After getting into the bathtub comfortably, Zhou Sen felt warm and extremely comfortable all over his body.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, it was Bai Yulan who came in.

They're both husband and wife, and they've tried taking a bath together, so there's nothing to be ashamed of, they should have come in with clean clothes for themselves.

"Xiao Mori, don't soak for too long, it's time to come out for dinner." Bai Yulan put down the clean clothes and put away the dirty clothes.

"Got it, I'll be here right away." Zhou Sen closed his eyes and nodded.

have eaten.

Zhou Sen went back to the room directly, he just wanted to sleep well now, he didn't close his eyes all day, he was really sleepy.

"Xiao Sen, Chang Bo said that the people over there want to meet us as soon as possible, but they must choose the time and place." Bai Yulan also came in, she could see that Zhou Sen was very tired today, but she had to talk about things.

"No, we must decide the time and place!" Zhou Sen emphasized.

"This……"

"If they are not willing, we can switch to another team. I think as long as we are willing, there is no problem even if we cooperate with the Anti-Union League." Zhou Sen said. "On my territory, I have to follow my rules."

"Okay, I'll ask Chang Bo to convey your thoughts to them tomorrow." Bai Yulan thought for a while and nodded.

"Yulan, we must absolutely guarantee our own safety, and we must not be careless. I have the materials and information in my hands, and I have the absolute right to speak. Only in this way can we ensure our own safety. If he doesn't accept it, then why bother?" Come to see us." Zhou Sen said, "Speaking of trust, wouldn't it be possible to establish it after working together once?"

"About the meeting places, Chang Bo has chosen a few, would you like to listen to them?" Bai Yulan asked.

"Tomorrow, I really don't have the energy to think about this today." Zhou Sen had already closed his eyes, and within a few seconds, he started snoring.

Looking at this slightly haggard face, Bai Yulan couldn't help showing a bit of distress and complexity, stretched out her hand to pull the quilt, and lay down too.
