Chapter 9: Small Arms Depot

This is a self-imposed reprimand

"Zhou Sen, congratulations! It must not have been easy to take this step forward," Bai Shoutian said with a cheerful smile.

Thank you, Director Bai. If needed, Zhou Sen will definitely consult you. Zhou Sen responded neither too softly nor too harshly.

This is also a means by which the Soviet Union secretly dispatched intelligence personnel to Ice City. Of course, amidst the truth and falsehood, it is impossible for all those who come to Ice City using this method to be spies and agents; it would not be surprising if among a hundred, there are one or two.

The Internal People's Committee is the state security agency of Soviet Russia, thus the only individuals who would use such a handgun are intelligence agents of Soviet Russia

I heard that Mr. Qiu Shan has handed the case of the "Songjiang Daily" to you?

"The pork and scallion filling is delicious, take a bite and the oil will flow!" the boss, wearing a dog fur hat, greeted with a cheerful smile

Zhou Sen

Zhou Sen, this "Kaiser", does not wish to continue in this role

Still under investigation

"Two, please. If they are delicious, I will come by every day to support your business!" Zhou Sen said

Two steaming buns were placed on the oiled paper and handed over to Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen took out his money and was about to pay, but the owner pushed it back, saying: "Officer Zhou, it is our fortune that you can enjoy our buns; how could we dare to accept your money"

The sound of vendors calling out at the street corner attracted him

It was not that he deliberately spoke nonsense in front of Lin Dakuan

Driven by curiosity

First, I withdrew from the secret room and returned upstairs

Thank you, Zhou Sen said as he reached out to take it.

After all, the Japanese also wish to enter Soviet territory to gather intelligence. If you prevent them from coming in, they will naturally not allow you to enter either

Zhou Sen walked over, reached out to open the cabinet, and the smell of gun oil, which he had noticed earlier, became even stronger. Upon glancing at the contents inside, he was instantly stunned; the cabinet was packed with various models of firearms, as well as ammunition, grenades, and other weaponry.

Is it really safe to hide in this secret room

At the entrance of the warehouse

"Yes, yes, I have heard something. This Sheerkin was in a relationship with a Russian girl named Susanna, but after Sheerkin was killed, this Susanna went missing." Gu Laoliu reported a situation

Has the family reported the case?

Zhou Sen first went to the Nangang Police Station for roll call

In this Nangang police station, the only man who could catch Jin Suying's eye is Zhou Sen. He is handsome, charming, and comes from a wealthy family. Most importantly, he is obedient to her wishes. If she were to choose a man to marry, Zhou Sen would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate

Mr. Qiu Shan asked me to inquire if there have been any developments in the case of the editor from the Songjiang Daily who was murdered?" Jin Suying swayed her waist as she approached, her eyebrows slightly twitching, and asked in a teasing manner.

Such matters are understood between us without the need for words

These matters must absolutely not be disclosed to outsiders; otherwise, even if one is not directly involved, one might still suffer misfortune, or even risk one's life.

The owner of this voice cannot be offended either, for he is Bai Shoutian, a police sergeant in the Special Operations Section of the Nangang Police Station

Jin Suying smiled slightly, her head held high as she walked past Zhou Sen.

Perhaps this original self is unwilling to associate with those individuals, which is why it refuses to partake in such street food. After all, the common people already lead difficult lives, and when subjected to various forms of exploitation and bullying, their situation becomes even more challenging

If one can enter, one can naturally exit

Irina has already prepared breakfast

There was no need to also acquire the MP-18, a powerful automatic rifle, as well as grenades, which are also formidable weapons

This Western-style breakfast is quite liked by the original person, but Zhou Sen prefers Chinese breakfast, such as large meat buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and wontons

... ...

After finishing his shift, Zhou Sen came out of the police station and happened to encounter Ye San'er, who was riding a bicycle to the police station as well

Oh, no, I am just thinking about how to tell the boss about this matter

Well, Mr. Qiu Shan trusts you so much, you must do your best. If there is anything you need help with from my department, feel free to mention it

Alright

But how should these firearms and ammunition be handled

Where is Wun?

He is eager for Bai Shoutian to take over this case, but the question is, will Akiyama no Suke agree?

This is just a small arms depot

This girl works at a Russian bank called Dalbank," Gu Lao Liu said, pulling a photo from his pocket and handing it to Zhou Sen, "This is a photo of someone named Susanna that I went to great lengths to obtain.

What is the identity of this girl, Susanna

The space of the confined room is not very large, estimated to be about 3 to 4 square meters. Inside, there is a workbench, a vise, a grinding machine, and other tools

As a military history enthusiast, I have naturally studied the models and performance of standard weapons and equipment used by various countries during World War II. While I cannot claim to be particularly proficient, I at least understand them much better than the average person

The walls have been treated for soundproofing and fire prevention, making it virtually inaudible from the outside while working here

They are all trusted by Mr. Qiu Shan

Zhou Sen

All the roads are blocked, leaving no opportunity. Moreover, business must still be conducted, as the Japanese are extremely eager for the resources of Siberia

In fact, not everyone can come over. This requires not only someone to receive them on this side, but also permission from the Soviet Union to allow people to pass, as well as agreement from the puppet Manchukuo side. Essentially, this power is largely in the hands of the Japanese.

Zhou Sen took a few bites and then felt no appetite, so he changed his clothes and went out

Zhou Sen glanced at the photo; the girl in it had delicate features. While she was not particularly stunning at first glance, she was quite pleasing to the eye. She appeared to be young, likely in her early twenties. The photo had a slight yellowing, suggesting it was not taken recently

Hello, Director Bai. Zhou Sen turned around, revealing a faint smile

"Wen has gone out on patrol." Gu Laoliu handed a cup of hot tea to Zhou Sen, saying, "Boss, have a sip of hot water to warm yourself up."

He is, after all, a police officer and is not unfamiliar with weapons. However, the handgun issued to him by the police department has had very few real combat shooting opportunities, aside from the annual shooting training and assessments.

Today, thanks to Lucy, he discovered this place; otherwise, he might not have remembered that there was such a secret room at home.

Thank you, Mr. Qiu Shan, for your trust. Zhou Sen will certainly do his utmost to handle this case well

Well, let's go. Zhou Sen sighed, sitting in the office; it seems that leisurely days are not in store for him for the time being. In this harsh winter, with the temperature outside during the day dropping to minus twenty degrees, it is truly a hardship to be out and about.

"Old Six, do I have flowers on my face?"

Otherwise, what would Old Man Anthony have built such a secret room in his house for

Zhou Sen made a rough estimate that the firearms and ammunition in this cabinet could equip an elite infantry reinforcement squad

How could an ordinary merchant have so many firearms and ammunition at home? If it were merely for self-defense, one or two handguns would suffice

The Japanese have very strict gun control measures, what is Old Man Anthony trying to do

A strong smell of rust, very pungent

Perhaps one should not view the original self merely through appearances; what lies within his heart may not necessarily be reflected in his memories

The taste of old e-liquid is very familiar

In a moment of distraction, Lucy suddenly darted inside, and Zhou Sen had no choice but to follow her into the secret chamber. The wall behind them closed automatically, sealing tightly, making it impossible to detect.

Once again, he was called to a halt. No matter how good Zhou Sen's temper was, at this moment, he was somewhat annoyed. However, he still managed to hold it in

The boss has arrived. Gu Laoliu opened the door to welcome Zhou Sen and Ye Saner in

"Secretary Jin, is there something you need?" Zhou Sen furrowed his brow; he had actually noticed Jin Suying a long time ago, as her scent had long been etched in his memory.

In his memory, the cabinet in the secret room was always locked, but what he saw now was that it was not locked

Every time a serious criminal is apprehended or a dangerous operation occurs, he always finds various excuses to evade or avoid it; he truly seems to be quite afraid of death

Does she have no immediate relatives in Ice City?" Zhou Sen furrowed his brow slightly

"No, I inquired a bit. Her parents are among those targeted over there. They originally had a chance to escape, but in the end, they stayed in the country. Didn't our Manchukuo sign an agreement with Soviet Russia? As long as there are relatives on our side, they can apply to come over. This also opens a door for some people," Gu Laoliu explained, as he was also concerned that Zhou Sen might not be aware of this situation.

The next morning, upon waking up, Lucy, who had been sleeping at the foot of the bed, had already run off to play somewhere. This little creature is much more energetic than the average cat. After freshening up, I went downstairs

When Jin Suying first arrived at the Nangang Police Station, the original person was quite infatuated with this woman, almost at her beck and call. The entire police station was aware of his affection for Jin Suying, yet he was always unable to attain her, being treated as a "fool" by her.

Zhou Sen realized that Bai Shoutian was jealous that Qiu Shan's assistant had assigned the case of Xie Erjin's murder to a minor police officer in the security department, which had robbed him of the opportunity to achieve merit

This case is of great importance to the higher-ups, and it is imperative to solve it within a certain timeframe. Jin Suying said in a tone of admonition, "Mr. Qiu Shan has high expectations of you, and I hope you can seize this opportunity"

Upon touching the light switch on the wall and turning it on, the secret room was naturally illuminated. Zhou Sen surveyed the secret room.

"That won't do. I eat your dumplings, how can I not pay!" Zhou Sen said. He knew that in this ice city, it was quite common for the police to eat without paying, and to take advantage of others; ordinary citizens and businesses could only endure their anger in silence.

"Feel free to speak your mind. Although I am your superior at the police station, in private, we are all brothers. There is no need to stand on ceremony," Zhou Sen said.

After the shock, Zhou Sen gradually calmed down

Old Gu Liu's face showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly concealed it. The Zhou Sen he knew was a person with a cold exterior but a kind heart, though not very good at expressing himself. The words "thank you" rarely came from his lips

Bread, milk, mhetushucomcom, as well as fried eggs and red sausage, are both nutritious and sumptuous

He encountered a Tokarev 1926 model pistol, which uses a 6.35 mm pistol cartridge, specifically designed for senior officers of the Soviet Army and personnel of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs

"Steamed buns filled with meat, fresh large meat buns..."

Zhou Sen fell into deep thought, realizing that he needed to come up with a way to keep this secret safe, at least until before Old Man Anthony returned.

When Zhou Sen was young, he once hid in the storage room to play. After playing for a while, he became tired and fell asleep in a box. When he woke up, he discovered the secret of Old Man Anthony.

"Boss, what filling do these meat buns have?" With the enticing aroma wafting through the air, Zhou Sen approached and pointed at the steaming bamboo steamer.

"The report has been filed, it was the uncle of the missing person who reported it to our police station," said Gu Lao Liu

Thank you, Director Bai

Concentrating the firepower of all the police officers at the Nangang Police Station would still be somewhat lacking

Eating two buns is not a big deal, as long as no trouble comes looking for me

... ...

Looking at the workbench in front of him, a memory suddenly surged into Zhou Sen's mind. He had a recollection; he had been to this place before, after all, this was his own home

Brother, Lao Liu has already gone to the warehouse and said he has something to report to you. Ye Saner hurriedly walked out from inside

However, Zhou Sen still adheres to his principles; regardless of where he dines, he always pays, and there is no behavior of taking advantage of free meals or drinks.

These firearms are all in excellent condition and well-maintained, ready for use. It seems that Old Man Anthony places great importance on them.

Zhou Sen smoked a cigarette while waiting for Ye San'er

How could Old Man Anthony possess a TK-1926 model pistol? If the Japanese Special Agency were to find out, he would surely be suspected of having a questionable identity

After that beating, he never came back again

Zhou Sen shook off the snowflakes from his coat collar, this cursed weather, it has started to snow again, the sky is overcast, giving a sense of oppression

Brother, please wait for me for a moment, I need to sign in. Ye San'er propped up the car and called out to Zhou Sen.
