In the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou received the notice and went to Clay Senqi's office.
Clay Senqi asked Lu Chengzhou to tell Kawasaki Hiro about the police department's plan to assist the British Concession Military Police detachment in arresting terrorists.
When Lu Chengzhou saw this plan, he couldn't help but smile.
When the Japanese Military Police needs assistance from the police, it must first report to the Secret Service Unit. The Secret Service Unit will confirm that the arrested person is indeed a terrorist before requesting instructions from the Police Department.
The final decision to take action depends on the approval of Police Commissioner Clay Senqi or Deputy Commissioner Liu Lifeng.
Moreover, during the operation, the gendarmerie cannot participate, they can only watch.
This plan fully reflects the arrogance of the British. It is estimated that Nakayama Ryoichi would be so angry that he would vomit blood when he saw it.
However, Lu Chengzhou liked it very much.
Clay Senqi asked Lu Chengzhou to tell Kawasaki Hiro about this plan, it was a business matter.
Lu Chengzhou took the opportunity to take the police car and went to Fukushima Street in the Japanese Concession.
"Teacher, the British are so despicable that they came up with such a plan." Lu Chengzhou said indignantly when he saw Kawasaki Hiroshi.
Lu Chengzhou is much better at controlling facial expressions than Zhang Sichang.
When Zhang Sichang learned that he was the deputy director of the Intelligence Office, he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"It's to be expected. In the British Concession, we can only rely on ourselves. Is the work of the British Concession Military Police Unit on track?" Kawasaki Hiroshi asked casually.
"Not yet. The National Salvation Association at No. 22 Kang Bo South Road is preparing to move. The British are deliberately making things difficult, and the team location has not been decided yet." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
"You have been in the British Concession for three years, so you are familiar with the situation. You must play a role in the military police." Kawasaki Hiroshi warned.
"You must try your best and don't dare to slack off at all."
In the evening, Lu Chengzhou was waiting for Nakayama Ryoichi and others at home early.
At eight o'clock sharp, Nakayama Ryoichi and Takahashi Toyoichi arrived on time, but Zhang Sichang was nowhere to be seen.
After Nakayama Ryoichi arrived at Lu Chengzhou's house, he and Takahashi Toyoichi did not speak for a while. The two turned on the flashlights they brought with them and inspected the house carefully.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he talked with Lu Chengzhou in the room upstairs.
"Director Lu, according to reliable information, an important member of the Chinese Communist Party will leave the British Concession tomorrow afternoon." After Nakayama Liangyi sat down, he suddenly revealed an important piece of information.
"Important personnel? How important is it?" Lu Chengzhou poured a glass of water for each of Nakayama Ryoichi and Takahashi Toyoichi before pouring himself a glass.
"It is said that he is the leader of the Northern Bureau." Takahashi Toyichi was a little thirsty and picked up the water glass to drink.
However, he brought the water glass to his mouth and put it down again.
"Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China? Is the intelligence reliable?" Lu Chengzhou picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip, and said in surprise.
According to the information he received, the Northern Bureau of the Communist Party of China had long since withdrawn to Peiping, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was moved to Taiyuan.
How could the British Concession still have leaders from the Northern Bureau?
"The problem now is how to catch this person." When Takahashi Yutaka saw Lu Chengzhou drinking a glass, he picked up the water glass again and drank it all in one gulp.
Still not satisfied, I poured myself another glass.
"Do you know the address?" Lu Chengzhou asked slowly.
He had not had much contact with Takahashi Toyoichi before, but it was only tonight that he discovered that Takahashi Toyoichi was an extremely cautious person.
A person who is suspicious of drinking water must be a difficult opponent to deal with.
If the information was really obtained by him, he would definitely protect the source of the information.
"It's not in your jurisdiction." Takahashi Toyoichi seemed to know what Lu Chengzhou was going to ask.
"I'm not good at taking action, so I'd like to ask Captain Zhongshan for instructions." Lu Chengzhou thought for a while, and at this time, it was best not to express his opinion.
"Nakayama-kun, I'll be in charge." The contempt in Takahashi Yutaka's eyes flashed away, and he turned to Nakayama Ryoichi.
In Takahashi Toyichi's view, Lu Chengzhou was an incompetent person who was just messing around.
At the beginning, he was sent to the headquarters for training by the military commander. From Lu Chengzhou, it can be seen that the military commander is short-sighted and unworthy of being his opponent.
Unlike Nakayama Ryoichi, Takahashi Toyichi felt that coming to the British Concession would be a great opportunity for him to show his talents.
"This is your information, and of course you are responsible for it." Nakayama Ryoichi said slowly.
Takahashi Toyichi's intention was very obvious, he didn't want Lu Chengzhou to participate.
There was a need for confidentiality, but also because Takahashi Toyichi did not trust Lu Chengzhou.
Nakayama Ryoichi was helpless. He had already heard Kawasaki Hiroshi introduce Lu Chengzhou's behavior.
Before the 38th Division counterattacked, they personally went to Haiguang Temple to deliver intelligence.
When the Chinese army attacked the Japanese concession, they joined forces with the people from Maochuan Mansion to resist the national army.
If such people are not worthy of trust, then who else can be trusted?
You can't doubt Lu Chengzhou just because he is Chinese.
"Then I wish squad leader Gao Qiao a successful start." Lu Chengzhou said nonchalantly.
The two little devils, Nakayama Ryoichi and Takahashi Toyoichi, still don't trust themselves.
"One more question, where are people imprisoned after they are caught?" Nakayama Ryoichi asked.
In fact, this was the reason why he and Takahashi Yuichi came.
Lu Chengzhou was a local boss in the British Concession, so it was quite appropriate for him to arrange such a thing.
"How about No. 22, Kang Bonan Road?" Lu Chengzhou asked tentatively.
"You can only do business there. Even if you imprison people, you can't interrogate them." Takahashi Yuichi shook his head.
Although Kang Bonan Road is under the jurisdiction of Lu Chengzhou, it is adjacent to the street. If you yell during the interrogation of the prisoner, the people around you will call the police.
When the time comes, will Lu Chengzhou take care of it or not?
"That's a problem." Lu Chengzhou always thought that No. 22 Cumberland Road was a good place, but he didn't consider the issue of interrogation.
"Unless a suitable place is found, all prisoners will be sent to the headquarters unless they are temporarily detained," said Nakayama Ryoichi.
The British Concession Military Police Detachment is a secret agency and cannot be known to the public.
"Why hasn't Zhang Sichang come yet?" Yutaka Takahashi looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.
As soon as Takahashi Toyichi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
When Takahashi Yuichi heard the sound, he quickly stood up and walked to the window.
At the same time, his hand reached to his lower back and had already grasped the handle of the gun.
"The security in the British Concession is pretty good." Lu Chengzhou smiled. Although there was a war, the British Concession was not affected for the time being.
Lu Chengzhou went downstairs and opened the door, and it turned out to be Zhang Sichang.
"Why are you here?" Lu Chengzhou asked after closing the door and seeing Zhang Sichang sweating profusely.
"Stop talking, I have been working as a coolie at the dock all afternoon." Zhang Sichang wiped the sweat with his sleeve.
"Being a coolie?" Lu Chengzhou led Zhang Sichang to the second floor and poured him a glass of water.
"The people who saved the Congress asked me to give them a ride, but they were delayed until now." Zhang Sichang took the water, raised his neck, and the water in the cup went into his stomach.
"Have all the people from the National Salvation Association left?" Lu Chengzhou asked casually.
"They're all gone. I personally sent them to the ship," Zhang Sichang said.
"Zhang Sang, why don't you make an announcement before sending them aboard?" Nakayama Ryoichi said calmly.
"I also wanted to report it, but I never had the chance." Zhang Sichang sighed.
"You are not a member of the Chinese Communist Party, how come you don't have a chance?" Lu Chengzhou said angrily.
Zhang Sichang used to be his liaison officer, and the two of them had no affiliation.
But now, Zhang Sichang is the deputy director of the Intelligence Office and is considered his subordinate.
If a subordinate makes a mistake, he, as the director, is also responsible.
When Zhongshan Liangyi heard Lu Chengzhou's words, his heart moved, but his face remained calm.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhang Sang. Please tell me about the situation." Nakayama Ryoichi said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou has always behaved very calmly. The four of them are considered the founders of the British Concession Military Police Unit.
With all the people from the National Salvation Association gone, No. 22 Cumberland Road was naturally vacant.
That was Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction, and he could take care of it. At least, he could ensure that no one else would disturb the gendarmerie.
As for the place where the prisoners will be held, a decision will be made after on-site inspections.
In addition, the gendarmerie also needs at least one car and a reasonable cover identity.
Also, Lu Chengzhou and Zhang Sichang, although they are the chief and deputy directors of the Military Police Intelligence Office, they still have to use their current identities to cover up.
"With your current status, you are fully qualified to engage in intelligence work. From now on, you will meet at the agency every night." Nakayama Ryoichi said.
As a member of the Military Police in the British Concession, he hoped that everyone would have a cover identity.
"It's too late tonight. Captain Zhongshan and Squad Leader Takahashi, can you just stay with me for one night?" Lu Chengzhou invited.
"No need, let's find another place to live." Takahashi Yuichi shook his head.
He was even afraid that the water at Lu Chengzhou's house was poisonous, so why would he spend the night here.
Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to send them away and personally called a rickshaw for them on the street.
After Zhongshan Liangyi and others left, Lu Chengzhou turned around and returned home.
The moment he closed the door, he began to feel anxious.
Lu Chengzhou realized at this time that the communication between him and Li Xiangxue was too slow.
Once an emergency occurs, there is no time to communicate.
Tonight, Lu Chengzhou believes that the information provided by Takahashi Toyoichi is true.
Otherwise, Takahashi Toyoichi wouldn't have kept it a secret so tightly. He was the director of the intelligence office, so he couldn't know anything about it.
The leaders of the Northern Bureau will leave Haigu tomorrow afternoon.
In other words, Takahashi Toyoichi may take action at any time before tomorrow afternoon.
Tonight, be sure to contact Li Xiangxue!
Going to Tangshan Road at this time?
Lu Chengzhou was in the room, pacing non-stop, his brain running at high speed.
The Japanese army had just occupied Haigu, so there would definitely be checkpoints on the road.
Lu Chengzhou had two documents in his hand: the police inspector's certificate and the certificate from the British Concession Military Police detachment.
These two documents can help him pass the customs smoothly.
However, if someone remembered his name and reported it, how could he explain his trip to Tangshan Road at night?
Lu Chengzhou felt that he and Li Xiangxue really needed a way to contact each other urgently.
It would be best if there is a traffic person between them.
On one side are the leaders of the Northern Bureau, who may fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and on the other side are themselves, who may be exposed.
How should Lu Chengzhou choose?
