Chapter 395 Zhou Yi is numb
"By the way, this is a photo of Zhou Yi and his wife. You should familiarize yourself with it first, so that you won't be embarrassed if you don't recognize them when they greet you later.
“He was previously working in the police department.
“I met him less than five times in total, but I could tell he was a powerful figure, otherwise he wouldn’t have been sent to work in the enemy’s territory.
“Moreover, a person who can be awarded an award by Prime Minister Zhang Jinghui and directly promoted to the second-in-command of the department should be taken seriously.
“When you first arrive, you have to be meticulous about everything.
“Human relations are also work.”
Gao Bin is thinking all the time, and he thinks about every detail as detailed as a hair.
"Okay, uncle."
Hong Zhiyou took the photo.
He was also afraid of making a mistake. Who knows if this world would be confused with the people in "The Cliff".
After taking a look, Hong Zhiyou returned it:
"A very elegant and decent man. He doesn't look like a bad person."
Seeing Gao Bin's surprised look, Hong Zhiyou smiled and added:
“We are all bad people.”
"Well, you can't judge a person by his appearance. A good person can't be a policeman, and Manchukuo is not a place where right and wrong are judged.
"This place only depends on who is more ruthless and who has stronger connections."
Gao Bin was very pleased that he had such awareness.
“Let’s go pick up your aunt.
"The office is going to hold a welcoming banquet for Zhou Yi tonight. Deputy Director Liu Zhenwen will personally host it, and all family members must attend.
"Your aunt has been talking about you for a few days. My ears are almost callused from talking about you so much."
Gao Bin talked with him as they walked.
“A kind aunt is like a mother.
"My parents passed away early, and I was raised by my aunt and you since I was a child. In my heart, uncle and aunt are the people I love and respect the most in the world."
Hong Zhiyou said this and put his coat on him.
"Yeah, you've been naughty since you were little.
"Every time I got into trouble, I wanted to beat you up, but your aunt would protect me and get angry and quarrel with me.
“My unfortunate elder brother and sister-in-law are gone, but your motherly love is not lacking at all.
"Except for the fact that she never breastfed you, your aunt is no worse than your biological mother.
"Remember?
"When you were a kid you always had to sleep with her.
"When I was ten years old and almost as tall as her, I still managed to separate you two. Just tell me how many beautiful nights I lost."
Gao Bin speaks with a disarming sense of humor, which often makes people overlook his vicious heart.
Why did he say this?
It's not just a simple chat or discussion of feelings.
But Hong Zhi has his current identity!
Gao Bin knew very well that working in the police department was impressive, as life and death were all decided by a word from the Japanese.
He didn't know what Hong Zhiyou had experienced in Tokyo.
But since he can be treated like a guest of honor by Doihara, the head of the Shanghumei Agency and whom he regards as his teacher, this kid is most likely here with a mission.
And as soon as he returned, the Director of the Binjiang Provincial Police Department, Saburo Shibuya, agreed to appoint Hong Zhiyou as the head of the Economic Section.
This position may not seem high, but it is actually a lucrative one.
Gao Bin openly said that it was Director Bai from Harbin who arranged for Zhou Yi to be the team leader, and that Zhi You being the head of the economic section was a compromise with himself.
In fact, he knew very well.
The Japanese are rigid in their work, especially the Chief Executive Saburo Shibuya, who is known for his inhumanity. I don't have that much face.
This was all earned by Hong Zhiyou himself.
Maybe the Gao family and I will have to rely on this kid in the future.
After all, he is not his biological son.
Now even their names have been changed.
Besides, even sons treat their parents like pigs and dogs, so what are their uncles and aunts?
Therefore, it is necessary to reminisce about the past and learn a little about Hong Zhiyou from time to time.
“Yes, my aunt dotes on me.
“I was ignorant then too.
"This time I brought you tonic from Tokyo, specially supplied to the Emperor and the royal family. It's not too late to get it back now." Hong Zhiyou laughed softly.
“It’s no use, I no longer have that thought in mind.
"You can even get medicine for the Emperor. Sakanishi Ichiro and his gang must have assigned you a huge task." Gao Bin asked him secretly.
“It’s nothing, really. I just help edit teaching materials, sell opium, and trade in food.
"In addition, the Japanese are now reaping the benefits of mining coal, gold and opium in Manchukuo. Goto Shinpei's Manchurian Railway Company, the Okura family's Honkei-ko Iron and Steel Company and Mitsubishi Corporation are making a lot of money.
“Someone in the Japanese Imperial Palace is dissatisfied and wants to come in and get a piece of the action.
"I have been in Shanghai for so long just to discuss these matters."
Hong Zhiyou did not hide it from him.
"These companies have close ties with the military cabinet, especially the Kwantung Army, which has extensive influence. You have to be careful." Gao Bin was very satisfied with his honesty.
"I know. With you as my pillar of support, I can't go against you." Hong Zhiyou said with a flattering smile.
"Haha."
Gao Bin was in a good mood and gave a dry laugh.
Got outside.
The snow has stopped.
Just as Hong Zhiyou was about to get in the car, Gao Bin raised his hand to stop him and told the driver, Xiao Xu:
"Driver Jin, give him the car and get another one from the dispatch room."
"Go pick up Zhou Yi's wife. This is Zhou Yi's home address." Gao Bin said.
"Me?" Hong Zhiyou was stunned.
"That's right.
"This woman named Gu Qiuyan just came from Fengtian. She said she is an artist and plays the piano. You can take this opportunity to find out more about her while you are picking her up." Gao Bin quickly ordered.
"Uncle, there's no need. I haven't met my aunt yet." Hong Zhiyou said.
“It is necessary.
"We must remain suspicious of everyone; this is the most basic quality of a spy agency worker.
"Your aunt won't blame you if I say hello then."
Gao Bin said.
"All right.
“But I don’t agree with what you said.
"Anyway, I will never have the slightest doubt about you and my aunt."
Hong Zhiyou blinked slightly mischievously.
"Go quickly, little brat." Gao Bin patted him with a smile.
After getting on the car, he heaved a sigh of relief and murmured with a smile: "It was not in vain that I slept in an empty room for so many years and spent so much money to send him to school in Japan."
……
Jihong Bridge.
Peter Street not far from Asia Cinema.
This area is very prosperous, with Russian music cafes, restaurants, and Orthodox churches.
The residential buildings in the residential area are mostly Western-style buildings with pointed roofs covering a large area.
This area used to be the territory of Russian merchants.
After the Russians were defeated by the Japanese, many houses here were taken over by the police department and the municipal government.
At that time, Zhou Yi was working in the police department with Liu Zhenwen. As a trusted and old subordinate, it was natural for him to take advantage of him.
Gu Qiuyan stood outside the yard, looking at the imposing Western-style building, her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned.
Her husband was fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
However, she was sent by the organization to work underground with a man named Zhou Yi.
"Hehe, this must be the comrade who knows how to enjoy life the most."
A dissatisfied and reluctant sneer appeared on Gu Qiuyan's lips. She took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
The house has been uninhabited for a long time.
There is a heavy smell of dust as you enter the door.
However, the expensive furniture and valuable paintings on the wall all show how luxurious the life of Comrade Zhou, who has been lurking in the police department for a long time, is.
Gu Qiuyan walked around inside and outside.
Suddenly, her expression froze.
There was not even a photo of Zhou Yi in this room.
The train Zhou Yi is on is about to arrive in Harbin.
According to the rules, she had to pick up the car and accompany him to the welcome banquet held by the Police Department in the evening.
Due to the principle of confidentiality, her superior Lao Wei only gave her a code word and a hint that Zhou Yi would wear square sunglasses, without even mentioning his appearance in detail.
How come there isn't even a photo of his room?
In case he forgot to wear sunglasses.
How can I recognize it?
In case I'm wrong...
Hey, this old Wei!
Gu Qiuyan, who had just arrived, couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"Beep."
Doorbell rang.
Gu Qiuyan came downstairs and looked through the hole in the iron door. She saw an old lady who looked steady and gentle, about fifty years old.
"Madam, my last name is Liu, and I was recommended by Mr. Fang." The old maid said with a smile.
“Come in.
"My husband's last name is Zhou, and mine is Gu. From now on, you can just call me Madam.
"correct.
"Find a few people to clean the place inside and out. I'll pay them separately. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qiuyan instructed politely.
"Okay ma'am."
Aunt Liu often works in this area and is very efficient.
Someone was called quickly.
Gu Qiuyan was tidying up the wardrobe, bed, etc. in the bedroom.
It was half past five in the afternoon.
The whole house has been renewed.
"Madam, the police car has arrived." As the doorbell rang a few times, Aunt Liu tiptoed upstairs.
"No hurry, let him wait a moment."
Gu Qiuyan faced the mirror, carefully drawing her eyebrows and applying lipstick.
She deliberately moved very slowly.
As an "artist" and the wife of a senior official of the National Police Agency, she must maintain her dignity and grace. Asking the police to wait for a while is also in line with the personality of an official's wife.
She was a worldly-wise person who had received special training at the Soviet Red Army Headquarters and knew how to act like a wealthy lady.
I took the mink fur collar coat handed to me by Aunt Liu and put on a fashionable fur hat, scarf and black gloves.
When she reached the hallway, she changed into her shiny leather boots and said:
"Auntie Liu, you don't need to prepare dinner. Just remember to add more firewood to the fireplace. The brighter the better."
"Okay, ma'am." Aunt Liu nodded diligently.
……
Hong Zhi waited patiently, smoking his cigarette leisurely.
The door opened.
Gu Qiuyan came out.
She is not beautiful, but she has delicate features, a tall figure, fashionable clothes, and a somewhat aloof temperament, and does not seem like a talkative person.
Well, he looks like an artist.
What a pity, it’s not my cup of tea… Hong Zhi felt a little regretful.
Moreover, in a snowy place like Harbin, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be buried by bulky cotton-padded clothes and fur coats.
Tianjin is still the best, full of plump and sexy girls.
"Mrs. Zhou, my name is Hong Zhiyou. The section chief asked me to pick you up." Hong Zhiyou greeted with a smile, stood up straight, and opened the car door slowly.
"Hello." Gu Qiuyan smiled politely.
She could tell.
This good-looking young man is also very well-educated.
Because he was not as fawning and submissive as other policemen who met their boss's wife.
Got in the car.
Hong Zhiyou glanced at her through the rearview mirror:
"Mrs. Zhou, I heard that you studied piano before. I grew up in Fengtian. Did you learn it at the one near St. Diehl's Church?"
"I'm not from Fengtian, and I haven't been there for long." Gu Qiuyan answered vigilantly but calmly.
"Oh.
"Then you'd better think about it. Corey's family members need to fill out some information." Hong Zhiyou smiled.
He deliberately kept peeking at Gu Qiuyan through the rearview mirror, making himself look like he was somewhat coveting her beauty.
This also makes it convenient to cooperate with Gu Qiuyan in the future to rescue Zhou Yi's legitimate wife Fang Yuejian and create the image of a "slut" who loves to steal men.
What is reality?
Only the preparation comes from the subtle details.
This is a skill I learned from Lao Yu.
Ma Kui suffered from this move. He was unable to explain himself and ended up dying with regret.
"Mr. Zhou has been away for nearly two years, which means that you two have not been together for a long time." Hong Zhiyou continued to ask.
"Yes." Gu Qiuyan raised her head slightly, and just in time saw Hong Zhiyou's slightly greedy and obscene eyes through the mirror. She couldn't help but frowned in disgust.
"Hey, it's really not easy for Mr. Zhou.
"I'm not afraid that you'll run away if I leave your beautiful wife behind and go to the interior to carry out my mission.
"There aren't many beauties as beautiful and elegant as you in Binjiang Province."
He gave a dry laugh and continued to "disgust" Gu Qiuyan through the mirror.
Gu Qiuyan couldn't stand it, so she ignored him and turned her head to look out the window.
She didn't expect that this handsome and gentle guy would be such a dirty person.
"That's right, I have met Mr. Zhou.
"He has a fair complexion, is upright and gentle, and always wears his hair parted back, like a gentleman, very graceful.
"Except for his ungraceful gait, of course!"
Hong Zhiyou was well aware that in the original drama, Gu Qiuyan almost let herself beholden when she first met Zhou Yi, so it was necessary to give her a reminder.
"Mr. Hong, you are offending my husband." Gu Qiuyan said with a frown.
"Feel sorry."
Hong Zhiyou shrugged.
He seemed to be showing off and talked about literature and art, from Gogol to Van Gogh, to make it seem like he wanted to "hook" her.
Gu Qiuyan didn't offend him either.
He kept looking out the window and only said "hmm" occasionally.
In this rather awkward atmosphere.
The train arrived at the station and went directly onto the platform.
Boom!
Get out of the car.
The two men came to the crowd.
The spies led by Gao Bin and their families had been waiting for a long time.
After all, Zhou Yi was Deputy Director Liu's favorite, the future captain of the Special Agent Department's action team, important officials and their wives from several sections of the Police Department, and even Chen Jingyu from the Security Bureau came.
Aunt Liao Chunxiang was standing next to Gao Bin. When she saw Hong Zhiyou, she was about to say hello excitedly, but Gao Bin glared back at her.
Hong Zhiyou winked at his aunt and stood obediently behind the crowd.
"You are Mrs. Zhou, and I am Gao Bin." Gao Bin walked up and greeted Gu Qiuyan in a friendly manner.
"Hello, Chief Gao. I always hear Zhou Yi talking about you. I'm so sorry to have you and everyone come to pick me up at the station in such a cold weather." Gu Qiuyan knew that this was her "husband's" boss, so she bowed slightly and smiled.
总？
He and Zhou Yi only met a few times.
There wasn't much overlap in our work in the past.
Where does the total come from?
A hint of coldness flashed across Gao Bin's eyes, and a smile pulled up to the corner of his mouth:
"No, we are all colleagues. Let me introduce you. This is my wife, this is Chen Jingyu, the head of the Second Section of the Security Bureau, and this is Li Xiangwu from the Criminal Division of the Police Department."
Qiuyan bowed to everyone to express her gratitude.
"Qiu Yan, you are so beautiful.
"Let me introduce you to these people. They are all Corey's family members. Now that you are here, we will have one more companion."
"Yes."
"You don't know, we are always short of feet when playing mahjong..."
"Let me tell you, Mrs. Li is really good at playing mahjong."
"Can you dance? We often go to the Friendship Land Theater..."
The other ladies also joined in the chattering of joy.
"Cough cough!" Gao Bin frowned and coughed dryly.
Everyone looked.
I saw an old train coming towards me slowly with a hard and dull whistle.
Gu Qiuyan's heart started beating wildly for no reason.
This Section Chief Gao looked like a shrewd man. Even without looking at him, Gu Qiuyan could feel the cold and harsh aura emanating from his slightly narrowed eyes.
What a scary guy.
While she complained about Lao Wei's inconsiderateness, she could only pray secretly that nothing would go wrong during the meeting.
creak.
The train stopped with the screeching sound of brakes.
On the train.
Zhou Yi looked at the two colleagues who came to pick him up in the hall.
One of these two people is called Lu Ming.
One is called Liu Kui.
They are all highly skilled and ruthless spies.
They are also...long-coveted contenders for the captain's spot.
As the passengers on the train surged.
Zhou Yi looked at the broken square-frame glasses in his hand and couldn't help but frowned.
This is a token of his contact with the new female comrade.
Just now, when arresting a professor from Xiangdao who made anti-Manchu remarks, Liu Kui stepped on his glasses and broke them during the scuffle.
No token.
He has never met Comrade Gu Qiuyan.
For the sake of confidentiality, he did not have any photos or information in the organization. If Comrade Gu were to admit his mistake, it would be an irreparable disaster.
He is now commended by the Prime Minister and I don't know how many people are jealous of him.
Furthermore, Zhou Yi was not familiar with Gao Bin, the spy chief who was transferred from Fengtian last year, but he had done some homework on him.
This person used to be a confidant and student of Chief Doihara in Fengtian.
He had cracked down on many Kuomintang and Red Ticket underground organizations, and assisted the Manchurian Railway Company in suppressing workers' uprisings in coal mines, killing thousands of people.
In Fengtian, he has a famous nickname: "The Butcher!"
In front of this person who is more cunning than a devil, any slight mistake can be fatal.
"Lu Ming, wait a minute, there are too many people, let's go down later." Zhou Yi said.
"No.
"It's too cold outside. The section chief will be impatient soon."
As Lu Ming spoke, he took out a pair of sunglasses from his shirt pocket and put them on his nose.
Zhou Yi felt even more depressed at once.
Lu Ming was wearing the same style of square-frame sunglasses as himself.
Damn!
He cursed under his breath.
Lu Ming put his hands in his pockets, revealing the holster on his waist, and strode forward.
The carriage was crowded, and a blind middle-aged passenger was blocking the front.
"Go away."
Lu Ming was annoyed by the man's dawdling, so he followed and kicked the man over, then arrogantly stepped on the man's back and strode forward.
When the others saw that he was carrying a gun, they were so scared that they shrank back into the seats on both sides.
The aisle suddenly became empty.
Lu Ming pushed his sunglasses to the tip of his nose, looked up at Zhou Yi, and said with a smug smile:
"Old Zhou, isn't this peaceful?"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly to show his approval.
The group quickly walked to the end of the carriage and got off.
Get out of the car.
Zhou Yi stopped on the suspension ladder for two seconds.
He saw Gao Bin and his group, as well as his wives.
Someone you know.
There are some I don’t know.
I have no idea which one is Gu Qiuyan.
In an instant, his mood became worse.
