In the evening, Zhang Fengxin also celebrated Lu Chengzhou's victory at the Guangfa Hotel.
Being able to become a deputy inspector is not only more conducive to assisting in military unification work, but also reflects Lu Chengzhou's ability.
Gold shines wherever it is. Lu Chengzhou's investigation of the kidnapping case once again demonstrated his observation, memory, judgment, and sufficient patience.
These characteristics are also necessary for an agent.
Zhang Fengxin specially prepared a table of delicious dishes and a bottle of fine wine.
However, Lu Chengzhou did not arrive as expected. Zhang Fengxin looked at the time and thought, Lu Chengzhou took office today. Is he busy?
Half an hour later, Lu Chengzhou arrived belatedly.
"Are you particularly busy today?" Zhang Fengxin asked with concern.
He could understand that Lu Chengzhou was half an hour late.
"It's true that I have something to do, but it's done." Lu Chengzhou smiled and said relaxedly.
After get off work, he found someone following him.
In the past, Lu Chengzhou might not have cared. The security in the British Concession was good, and he was on patrol, so who would dare to plot against him.
But now Lu Chengzhou is always paying attention and paying attention to everything. Even if he comes to Zhang Fengxin's place for a meal, it is as if he is handing over confidential information.
As soon as he came out of Gordon Hall, he discovered that there was a tail behind him.
Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to lead him to a quiet place, but unexpectedly, after following him for two streets, the man disappeared.
I don’t know if I gave up voluntarily or if I didn’t follow up.
The reason why Lu Chengzhou didn't mention it to Zhang Fengxin was because he felt that the matter had nothing to do with military unification.
He has not officially joined the military commander, nor has he done anything for the military commander, so it is impossible for him to be suspected.
The most likely reason is that he was promoted today because of his merits in solving the case, which made some people unhappy and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Congratulations on your success and your early success." Zhang Fengxin poured Lu Chengzhou a glass of wine and said with a smile.
"Thank you, but I won't drink anymore. Drinking can easily cause trouble." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
From now on, he is going to quit drinking. If he can, he won't drink. After all, he has to keep a clear mind at all times.
Especially today, as I have just been promoted, I need to be more cautious in dealing with all parties in the future.
In the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 51 Road and Kang Bonan Road. He felt that Liao Zhendong and Yan Hairong's attitudes towards him had undergone subtle changes.
Everyone used to be inspectors, but now Lu Chengzhou has been promoted by half a level and they have become subordinates. In addition, Lu Chengzhou is younger than him and joined the job later than them, so of course he feels a little unhappy.
Especially Liao Zhendong, who has always won the trust of Ruan Jiangong, and took the lead in arresting the kidnappers in Fenglin Village.
Lu Chengzhou serves as deputy inspector. It would be strange if Liao Zhendong has no idea.
Lu Chengzhou has not officially joined the army yet, so he must be cautious in every step he takes in the future.
"It is true that drinking can easily cause problems, but today is an exception. Besides, as a man, it is impossible not to drink at all. We need to socialize more with others. We can drink with others, but we must not get drunk." Zhang Fengxin advised.
Lu Chengzhou's idea is very good, but as an agent, you must interact with people frequently. If you can't even drink, it will definitely not work.
Agents who have a cover identity and need to contact people and obtain information from others should be able to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and they should be proficient in it.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your guidance." Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said sincerely.
It's true that you want to keep a clear mind, but you really can't stop drinking.
As Zhang Fengxin said, you should drink wine, but you can't get drunk. If you are afraid of being really drunk, it is also a person who is drunk but not drunk.
"It's nothing. Those who work in our industry must be a generalist, understand a little bit of everything, and be able to do a little bit of everything." Zhang Fengxin said with a smile.
"Listening to Mr. Zhang's words is better than ten years of reading." Lu Chengzhou said with emotion.
He thought about these words secretly in his heart, and what Zhang Fengxin said was indeed very reasonable.
"I need your help with something." Zhang Fengxin poured Lu Chengzhou a glass of wine and said suddenly.
What I said just now was actually what I heard from Wang Xiaoxiang, and I just borrowed it temporarily.
"What's the matter?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually.
"I want you to pay attention to someone." Zhang Fengxin whispered, this is a task assigned to Lu Chengzhou.
"Who is it?" Lu Chengzhou looked around and asked calmly.
"Gu Richang." Zhang Fengxin said slowly.
In fact, the military commander had received an order from the headquarters to secretly arrest Gu Richang.
If there are no conditions for arrest, prepare for assassination.
Gu Richang, courtesy name V, was born in 1895 in a poor peasant family in Fugou County, Henan.
He was strong-willed and hard-working since he was a child. He joined the Northwest Army at the age of 18.
Because he was good at fighting and upright, he gained the trust and trust of the boss of the Northwest Army. After the Central Plains War, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the 22nd Route Army and commander of the 30th Army.
In the army, he was influenced by the Communist Party members and inclined toward revolution.
At that time, he planned to launch a mutiny and lead his troops to defect to the Red Army, but the incident was exposed and he was forced to go abroad.
Early last year, Gu Richang returned to China, found a party organization in Shanghai, and insisted on joining the Communist Party of China.
According to the instructions, he returned to Haigu and devoted himself to the anti-Japanese and national salvation struggle.
"That general of the Northwest Army?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise. Changri was famous in ancient times, but he lived in the French Concession. How could he, a patrolman in the British Concession, pay attention to him?
"Yes, this person is a member of the Communist Party and has moved to No. 3 Oxford Villa." Zhang Fengxin said softly.
"Communist? No. 3 Oxford Villa? Doesn't he live in the French Concession?" Lu Chengzhou had a look of surprise on his face.
Lu Chengzhou never expected that the Oxford villa he selected for the organization was actually prepared for Gu Richang.
At the same time, he was also very proud in his heart. He admired Gu Richang very much. Being able to do something for him could be regarded as a small contribution to the fight against Japan.
"Gu Richang is very energetic and wants to form an anti-Japanese armed force for the Communist Party." Zhang Fengxin said with a look of hatred.
"Such man-made activities that cause harm to the country and the people should be eliminated. Now that he has arrived in the British Concession, I will find a way to arrest him." Lu Chengzhou said "full of righteous indignation".
He admired Gu Richang very much in his heart, but having to put on a sworn expression on his face was indeed a great test for him.
"You really think so?" Zhang Fengxin said with some surprise.
"If it weren't for people like this causing trouble, Mr. Chiang would have unified the country long ago. Why would the situation in North China be like this?" Lu Chengzhou said with regret.
During this time, in addition to thinking about how to communicate with Zhang Fengxin, he also often read newspapers, especially those articles that spoke for the government.
Find inspiration from these articles to deal with Zhang Fengxin and military commanders at any time.
At the same time, it is also a tool used by Lu Chengzhou to disguise himself.
Openly supporting Chiang's leadership can confuse many people.
"As for Oxford Villa, I'll leave it to you. In addition to Gu Richang, there is also a man named Tian Nanchen, who is also a Communist." Zhang Fengxin nodded slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, these alien members will definitely not be able to escape." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
This was the first time Zhang Fengxin gave Lu Chengzhou a task. He not only wanted to see Lu Chengzhou's ability, but also wanted to examine him again.
Lu Chengzhou's remarks just now have clearly demonstrated his political beliefs. Zhang Fengxin believes that the time is ripe to absorb Lu Chengzhou.
The task Zhang Fengxin gave Lu Chengzhou was to monitor Gu Richang.
The task is not too heavy, as long as you can appear outside Oxford Villa, it is easy to complete.
