above the point of the knife

Chapter 295 Shibuya Was Promoted

"This Hou Wu, what is Nephew Zhou Sen going to do with it?" Zou Shuxun had already walked to the door, and turned around to ask again.

"Sentence according to the laws of Manchukuo, and we cannot use lynching."

"Understood." Zou Shuxun smiled slightly, but he didn't understand that Zhou Sen wanted to kill Hou Wu.

Now that you have offended, don't think about reconciliation. With someone like Qin Xiong, any kindness will be useless, and he won't appreciate it.

Get off work normally.

Wu En drove Zhou Sen back to the Ningxiang Hall and asked for leave. He wanted to go home. Zhou Sen asked him to drive the car back and come back tomorrow morning.

Anyway, at night, he didn't need a car. If Wu En walked back, he didn't know how long it would take.

There are more women in the family than men, and now, apart from him and Chang Bo, it seems that Yin is flourishing and Yang is declining.

Ah Xiang was busy in the kitchen.

Zhou Sen went to help, and Ah Xiang, who was standing in the pot, could only be reduced to a thug.

With Zhou Sen joining, the dinner preparation was much faster, and Aunt Chun was there to help.

But Aunt Chun was going home for the New Year too, so Bai Yulan let her go back on vacation, just as Jiang Rou also had a rest.

There is one more person in the family, and there is no shortage of staff.

There are not many dishes for dinner. Under normal circumstances, there are four dishes and one soup. Zhou Sen is not at home at noon, so the meal is relatively simple.

Since both Zhou Sen and Jiang Rou came back for dinner in the evening, the dishes in the evening will be slightly richer.

Years ago, prices rose sharply, and Zhou Sen knew that the lives of ordinary people in Bingcheng would be much more difficult this year than last year.

There was a shortage of materials, and the Japanese implemented a unified sales system for daily necessities, especially restrictions on the purchase of strategic grains such as rice and noodles.

In the future, a rationing system may also be implemented. In order to support the strategy of the Japanese army going south, they searched for a large amount of supplies from Manchuria.

These can be seen from the table of ordinary people.

Life is getting worse and worse.

For the rich, the impact is not big, it is just that the expenses are higher than usual, and the rich have more connections than ordinary people, and they can get more resources.

After dinner, Jiang Rou helped Ah Xiang clean up the dishes, Bai Yulan continued to do her sewing, and Zhou Sen went into the study alone.

I've been so busy recently that I haven't had time to seriously think about many things.

"Brother, Sister Lan asked me to make you a cup of tea and bring it in." Jiang Rou came in with a cup of hot tea and said.

"Thank you, Xiaorou." Zhou Sen nodded.

Jiang Rou put down her teacup and was about to leave when Zhou Sen stopped her, "Xiao Rou, don't blame my brother for being cruel about Xiao Yuehong's matter. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, the drama club will not be at peace."

"I know, I beg brother to give her a way to live, and don't send her to death." Jiang Rou nodded.

"Don't worry, although her behavior is hateful, I won't let her die. When things are done, I will arrange for her to leave the ice city and live in a place where no one knows her. Ordinary may be for her. It's the best." Zhou Sen said.

"Thank you bro."

"You can't be soft-hearted when it comes to the drama club. Those who should be fired must be fired." Zhou Sen reminded.

"I know."

"Okay, go get busy, I know the other things well." Zhou Sen said vaguely, he will arrange for Qiao Sanlang's side.

Jiang Rou understood, blinked at him, and then went out.

……

There are still three days until New Year's Eve, Zhou Sen has become more regular at work every day, and Kojima doesn't arrange any work for him anymore.

Obviously, he didn't want to make excuses for him to push himself back.

Probably because he knew that Zhou Sen was seconded to the foreign affairs department for another mission, even if he was disobedient, he could only be a ninja.

"Zhou Sen, Mr. Shibuya's telegram, he has been promoted to deputy chief of the Ministry of Public Security!" Anna brought him good news.

Only then did Zhou Sen realize that it wasn't Kojima and the others who stopped bothering him, it was Shibuya Saburo who had been promoted to be the deputy director of the Ministry of Public Security.

In fact, he is the actual leader of the Manchukuo army and police Xiante, and the minister is just a puppet display, which is basically the case in all ministries of Manchukuo.

With such a big background behind Zhou Sen, who would dare to provoke him easily?

"Have you returned the congratulatory message to Mr. Shibuya?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I haven't reported to you yet, how do you send this message?" Anna said, "And how do you draft this congratulatory message, why don't you come?"

"Well, I should draw up a congratulatory message. I'll think about it, how should I say it." Zhou Sen nodded, "I'll call Xiao Ye first."

"Are you going to reply to this congratulatory message first, or call?"

"If you make a phone call, then there's no need to send another congratulatory message..." Zhou Sen thought for a while, and it seemed a little unnecessary.

"You try it first, a congratulatory message is more sincere than a phone call." Anna said.

"Okay, Mr. Ono is probably very busy, so I may not be able to get through this call." Zhou Sen nodded. This is indeed a happy event, and it will be quite beneficial to his future situation in the police department.

Even though he didn't know if he could get through, Zhou Sen still called Xiao Ye. Because it was a long-distance call, he waited for a long time before he got through.

It was Ono who answered the phone, his voice sounded a little hoarse, obviously because he talked a lot during this period.

Zhou Sen didn't talk to Ono for long, and Ono over there was already busy apologizing to him, and he hung up the phone.

Naturally, Zhou Sen couldn't say much, and after simply expressing his joy and asking Ono to convey it, he hung up the phone.

Shibuya is promoted, so some people are happy and some people are worried.

……

"Zhou Sen, Section Chief Akiyama is looking for you." Jin Suying appeared at the door of Zhou Sen's office and conveyed Akiyama's order to him.

"Okay, Section Chief Akiyama wants me to go there now?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, I'll go there now." Zhou Sen nodded. Akiyamanosuke rarely looked for him, so he must be looking for something.

After a while, Zhou Sen came to Akiyamanosuke's office.

When Akiyamanosuke saw him, his eyes were obviously softer and more enthusiastic. He obviously knew that Saburo Shibuya had been promoted.

Zhou Sen is Shibuya Saburo's most valued student in Ice City, and his status has risen virtually. Moreover, the Japanese want to cultivate a group of people who will work for them and be loyal to them among the Manchurians. Zhou Sen is undoubtedly the best among them one of them.

"Zhou Senjun, please sit down." Akiyama nosuke greeted, and then ordered Jin Suying to make him a cup of tea and bring it in.

"Section Chief Akiyama, did you come to me for something?" Zhou Sen sat down and asked.

"The case you told me about last time, I communicated with the higher-ups, and I think peace is the most important thing, and there is no need for everyone to tear their faces." Akiyama said.

"I'm a person who doesn't like to cause trouble, you know that." Zhou Sen nodded, and he couldn't do anything about Qin Xiong for the time being. He knew very well that as long as Hou Wu bit him to death, everything was done by him, so he couldn't be with Qin Xiong. Get involved.

The people behind Qin Xiong didn't want to give up this obedient pawn for the time being, so Zhou Sen couldn't kill him.

Otherwise, he has to be prepared to turn against the people behind Qin Xiong.

"The control of Taipingqiao Casino can be handed over to Qin Lang, but the operation and distribution of dividends will follow the previous rules."

"It's natural."

"That's the end of the grievances between you and Qin Xiong, how about it." Akiyamanosuke said.

"My grievances with him can be temporarily terminated, but if he starts a fight again, I can't be blamed for fighting back. In addition, Hou Wu is involved in a murder case, so no one can let him go." Zhou Sen said.

"Hou Wu, is that the manager of the Taipingqiao Gambling House?" Akiyamanosuke asked, "How did he get involved in the murder?"

"Section Chief Akiyama, what happened..." Zhou Sen roughly told Akiyama Nosuke about the circumstances behind the murder of Sun Qingkui.

After hearing this, Akiyama nosuke pondered for a moment, the life and death of a Hou Wu was insignificant to him.

But Qin Xiong agreed to make concessions and also asked to release Hou Wu. He didn't think it was a big deal at first.

Now it seems that Hou Wu is still involved in the murder case, and Zhou Sen is holding on to it. I am afraid that Qin Xiong will not give up easily.

"How far has the case progressed?"

"The murderer hasn't been caught yet, but there are already clues. It is undeniable that Hou Wu is involved in the case." Zhou Sen said, "Even if he didn't commit the murder, he is the mastermind and is guilty of the same crime as the murderer."

"sure?"

"If the final result really has nothing to do with Hou Wu, why not let him go?" Zhou Sen said bluntly.

"Okay, if Hou Wu is murdered, that's another matter." Akiyama nosuke thought about it and decided to side with Zhou Sen. Anyway, Qin Xiong didn't give him much benefit, so he couldn't do it for a Qin. Xiong, offended Zhou Sen and Shibuya Saburo behind him.

Especially when Saburo Shibuya had just been promoted and was in the limelight, he still promoted his old boss, he and Zhou Sen were on the same boat.

"The subordinates will definitely handle the case impartially and will not wrong a good person."

"About the handover of the Taipingqiao Casino, Qin Xiong will contact you, just pay attention." Akiyamanosuke said.

"Ok."

……

Qin Xiong was able to win the battle and hand over the Taipingqiao Casino, not only because he captured Hou Wu, but also because of Xiao Yuehong.

If Xiao Yuehong is really pregnant with Qin Xiong's child, it will undoubtedly be a deadly handle for him.

He wants to use the old way to deal with it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it.

If this incident becomes a big deal, it will inevitably affect the interests of the people behind it, which is what those big shots don't want to see.

Taipingqiao Casino was originally managed by Qin Lang, but now it is handed over to Qin Lang, it is no different, as long as their interests are not damaged, it doesn't matter who they hand over to.

It's nothing more than giving up part of the benefits, but these benefits should belong to Qin Lang if he didn't leave the Qin family.

Sure enough, the day after Zhou Sen met with Akiyamanosuke, Qin Xiong's subordinates sent a post to Ningxiang Hall.

Invite him and Qin Lang to go to the Taiping Bridge Casino at noon on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to discuss reception matters.

And here, Zou Shuxun has caught and released some of Sangbiao's situation. Hou Wu's men who were captured and locked up by Zou Shuxun were arrested by Sangbiao after returning, and tortured, but after he was arrested , but was locked up all night without any interrogation.

But Sangbiao suspected that he had become a traitor...

When he was found by Zou Shuxun again, he couldn't bear it anymore and confided a piece of news. That afternoon, Hou Wu called Sangbiao to his office and talked for half an hour. After that, Sangbiao went out. I didn't come back until early the next morning.
