Lu Chengzhou walked in front unhurriedly, seemingly not noticing anyone behind him.
The person following Lu Chengzhou had been waiting for an opportunity. A few days ago, he followed Lu Chengzhou all the way after get off work.
However, I haven't found an opportunity in the past few days. Lu Chengzhou appears and disappears, and if he is not careful, he disappears.
But today, Lu Chengzhou seemed to have something on his mind. He quickly leaned forward and, using the cover of the newspaper in his hand, reached into Lu Chengzhou's pocket.
However, his wrist was suddenly grabbed. He was so frightened that he used all his strength to pull out his hand and run away.
Lu Chengzhou didn't expect that this man's hand would be as slippery as a loach, and he let him slip away without paying attention.
Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou had prepared a backup plan.
Ma Ping used all his energy and met Lu Chengzhou. This time he was in trouble. From now on, he would have to hide outside the British Concession for a while.
Ma Ping was just congratulating himself that Lu Chengzhou hadn't caught up with him when he suddenly hit something under his feet and staggered, almost rolling to the ground.
Suddenly, he felt a strong force coming from his abdomen, and his thin body almost flew up.
"Boy, you didn't even open your eyes to see, and you stole it from the police." A young man with a strong build said with contempt.
The volley kick just now was his masterpiece.
"Uncle, I'm blind, I'm so generous in saving you, please spare me once." Ma Ping looked at the other person and knew that he was also from the police department, so he said quickly.
"I don't have the final say whether to spare you or not."
When he saw Lu Chengzhou approaching, he immediately raised his chest and saluted, and escorted him respectfully: "Have a seat, please."
"Thank you for your hard work, Wang Siguang." Lu Chengzhou nodded.
Wang Siguang is two years older than Lu Chengzhou and is a first-class patrolman on Route 24.
When Lu Chengzhou first entered the police station, Wang Siguang followed Lu Chengzhou closely and was regarded as Lu Chengzhou's right-hand assistant.
This time, just in case, Lu Chengzhou arranged for Wang Siguang to follow him, and it really came in handy.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Siguang said with a smile.
"How many days have you been with me, how much do you charge for legwork?" Lu Chengzhou stood in front of Ma Ping and asked coldly.
"What an injustice. I was so blind that I touched the uncle. I will never dare to do it again." Ma Ping was lying on the ground, suddenly hugging Lu Chengzhou's legs and crying bitterly.
"Tell me, which gang is in charge?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Throughout Haigu, including the British Concession, all kinds of robbers, thieves, and pickpockets emerged in an endless stream. They were not only organized, but also had their own "rules."
As the saying goes, "Thieves have their companions, and thieves have their companions." These businesses are divided into gangs and branches, each with its own set of rules and activities.
In the British Concession, in addition to the local faction, there were also the Jiangbei Gang, the Anhui Gang, the Zhejiang Gang, the Guangdong Gang, etc.
And within each gang, there are different categories of people who get what they want to eat.
For example, if someone who is bold and not afraid of death becomes a robber and takes "clear money", Li Yuhua's kidnapping group belongs to "clear money".
Those with nimble hands and feet would eat "match money", that is, become pickpockets.
There are also those with sharp eyesight and quick legs who specialize in "running to the top of the palace", that is, when the trams and buses are just starting to leave, they will grab people's hats from the trains.
There is also a type of "wheeler" who specializes in stealing luggage and goods.
"This kid has no family and no sect. He just came out to make a living." Ma Ping was shocked when he heard Lu Chengzhou's question, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
"Wang Siguang, take him back to the police station for careful interrogation, find out the details and report to me." Lu Chengzhou said that he still had to see Li Xiangxue, but he had no time to waste on Ma Ping.
"Uncle, I am really unjust." Ma Ping shouted.
Lu Chengzhou ignored him and waved his hand to Wang Siguang, carrying him back like a chicken.
Ma Ping had been following him for a few days, and he definitely didn't just want to steal his belongings.
Besides, he had been following me since Gordon Hall, and he still dared to take action even though he knew his identity. Could it be that the birthday man had hanged himself because he thought his life was too long?
Perhaps, if Wang Siguang is captured, the person behind him will naturally surface.
Lu Chengzhou did not follow him back to the police station. The military commander would take action at any time, and he had to notify the organization quickly.
"Teacher Li, is Gu Richang in danger? Why hasn't he been transferred yet?" Lu Chengzhou asked impatiently after seeing Li Xiangxue.
"Several batches of weapons handled by him have not yet been transported to Haigu. If he evacuates, the weapons may not be received, and the party will suffer great losses. In addition, he has not yet met with the anti-Chiang and anti-Japanese representatives in Guangxi, and he has not yet met.
Can't evacuate." Li Xiangxue said thoughtfully.
"What if the military commander suddenly takes action?" Lu Chengzhou asked anxiously.
"Yes, this issue has been discussed with him many times in the organization. But Comrade Gu Richang ignored the danger and insisted on staying and working." Li Xiangxue sighed.
"Where is Comrade Tian Nanchen? Should we evacuate?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Don't worry, Comrade Tian Nanchen is safe." Li Xiangxue said noncommittally.
There are some things that you cannot tell Lu Chengzhou, not because you don't believe him, but because of organizational principles.
"Teacher Li, if possible, Comrade Gu Richang should be asked not to go, or to go less often to the National Hotel or Huizhong Hotel. No. 3 Courtyard of Oxford Villa is still very safe. If it doesn't work, you can ask for a 'petition to the police'.
" Lu Chengzhou said.
The so-called "petition police" refers to the security protection provided by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to some special persons. As long as they pay, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can hire "petition police" to stand guard in front of the house to protect the home.
"I will report this matter to my superiors." Li Xiangxue nodded. Lu Chengzhou's proposal is indeed worthy of consideration.
"It must be quick." Lu Chengzhou said anxiously.
After returning to Gordon Hall, Lu Chengzhou went to Wang Siguang to ask about the interrogation.
"Inspection, the person has been sent to the detention center." Wang Siguang said helplessly.
"So fast? Who is he?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
Suspects caught after get off work are usually held in the patrol room for interrogation and sent to the detention center tomorrow.
"It was arranged by Ruan Xunzuo. The suspect only said his name was Ma Ping and that he was a novice. Without further questioning, Ruan Xunzuo ordered him to be sent to the detention center." Wang Siguang said in a low voice.
"I understand, you go and have a rest." Lu Chengzhou heard that it was Ruan Jiangong who asked, but he didn't say anything more. He already knew in his heart that this Ma Ping should have nothing to do with Wen Xiufeng.
In the next few days, Lu Chengzhou often paid attention to the situation at Oxford Villa No. 3.
Every morning, after patrolling Route 24, he would stop by Xinhua Road and ask the police officer at the intersection about the situation of Oxford Villa.
At noon, when Gu Richang left the Oxford villa, Lu Chengzhou would appear nearby on time and follow him secretly. He did not return until Gu Richang left the British Concession.
As for evening, Lu Chengzhou usually waits for Gu Richang to come back and enters Oxford Villa No. 3 before going back.
Of course, it was usually midnight when Gu Richang came back.
Therefore, Lu Chengzhou would often appear on Xinhua Road after eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Lu Chengzhou Jun."
When Lu Chengzhou came back from Xinhua Road at noon, he had just reached Road 24 when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Looking back, Lu Chengzhou had a look of surprise on his face, and he recognized it was his Japanese instructor Hiroshi Kawasaki from the Haigu Police Training Center.
"Teacher Kawasaki, why do you have time to come here?" Lu Chengzhou hurried over, raised his head and raised his chest, saluted, and said respectfully.
At the Haigu Police Training Center, in addition to the British instructor Clay Senchi, there is also the Japanese instructor Hiroshi Kawasaki.
