Lu Chengzhou reported to Li Xiangxue the situation of the military police unit in the past two days.
Regarding Ren Weigang, he had guessed some things, while others only learned about them at night.
"Your information is very timely. Unfortunately, Comrade Hua Ping was too impulsive. He was attacked by Ren Weigang and died due to excessive injuries." Li Xiangxue said regretfully.
"This is too me and too greedy. If the organization dealt with it decisively, perhaps such an accident would not have happened." Lu Chengzhou felt that he was also responsible.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to blame yourself. The information you provided this time not only allowed the leaders of the Northern Bureau to escape danger, but also eliminated the traitors. The leaders of the provincial party committee have proposed to commend you." Li Xiangxue said with a smile.
"I haven't done enough." Lu Chengzhou said humbly.
"In view of the fact that you are becoming more and more important and the information that needs to be conveyed is becoming more and more specific, the Provincial Party Committee has decided to transfer your organizational relationship to the Haigu Municipal Party Committee." Li Xiangxue said seriously.
Before the Anti-Japanese War, there was no limit on the speed of information transmission between Li Xiangxue and Lu Chengzhou.
However, as the situation develops, Lu Chengzhou's information becomes more and more important.
Some information needs to be notified to the organization immediately.
If you transfer through Li Xiangxue, you will not only be exposed easily, but you won't have enough time.
For example, there is information that the leader of the Northern Bureau is leaving Haigu this time. If he had not habitually met with Lu Chengzhou, Lu Chengzhou would have been put in a very dangerous situation.
Li Xiangxue also proposed to the organization that Lu Chengzhou's intelligence was relatively special and that he could serve as Lu Chengzhou's traffic officer full-time.
However, the organization believes that Li Xiangxue also plays an important role in the pre-trial department of the police station.
The Japanese army, with the cooperation of the police station, searched for patriots everywhere.
Except for some of these people who are detained in the gendarmerie, most of them are held in the detention center of the police station.
Among these people, there are quite a few comrades in the party.
Being in Li Xiangxue's position, it is very convenient to rescue them.
"Doesn't it mean that we are not on the same line?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
Li Xiangxue moved to No. 18, No. 24 Road, and Lu Chengzhou thought that it would be easy to connect with him in the future.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiangxue was leaving.
"This is the need of the situation, especially the need of the war of resistance. We are no longer on the same line, but we are still in the same organization. You have been educated by the party for so many years, do you still need me to teach you these principles?" Li Xiangxue smiled.
In fact, he was also very disappointed. He developed Lu Chengzhou into a comrade and then into a comrade-in-arms. The two were not only teachers and students, comrades, but also friends and brothers.
However, organizational decisions are above all else.
Li Xiangxue also realized that if he served as Lu Chengzhou's liaison again, it would most likely delay the transmission of information.
A piece of information can affect the outcome of a war in a big way, or it can affect the safety of comrades in a small way.
Most of our party's power in Haigu has been transferred.
The remaining personnel need to hide and work.
With Lu Chengzhou's military police unit in the British Concession, they can better cover and protect them.
"Since it is an organizational decision, I will abide by it." Lu Chengzhou said no more.
Lu Chengzhou is already considered an old party member. Can he still negotiate conditions for doing revolutionary work?
Everything starts from the needs of the organization. As long as it is for better work, even if he is exposed on his own initiative, he will not frown.
"After your organizational relationship is transferred to the Haigu Municipal Committee, under the single-line leadership of the Municipal Party Committee & Secretary Comrade Yao Yimin, there will be a traffic officer between you. Your usual information can still be sent through the dead mailbox. In emergencies, you can type this
Call, or contact the traffic officer." Li Xiangxue handed Lu Chengzhou a note.
There is a phone number written on it, as well as two passwords for the connection.
The location of the first connector code is at No. 18, No. 24 Road, but the location of the second connector code is not specified.
After all, the situation is changing rapidly, and even if the location is determined now, it may not be available then.
"Will the traffic officer live here in the future?" Lu Chengzhou kept the contents of the note in his mind, took out a cigarette, wrapped the note in the cigarette, lit it, and burned the note in a few puffs.
.
"Yes." Li Xiangxue held out two fingers, and Lu Chengzhou quickly handed over a cigarette.
"When can I meet him?" Lu Chengzhou struck another match and lit it for him.
"It depends on what you mean. If the information can be transmitted through a dead mailbox, there is no need to contact the traffic officer for the time being. For you, it may be safer to have one less link." Li Xiangxue shook his head.
In addition to being an underground party member, Lu Chengzhou also has three identities: an inspector of the police department, the director of the intelligence office of the gendarmerie unit, and a secret intelligence officer of the military command, Huo Huo.
"When will I meet Secretary Yao?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"You and Comrade Yao Yimin cannot meet unless there are special circumstances." Li Xiangxue shook his head.
"That is to say, except that the dead mailbox has a different recipient, everything else remains the same?" Lu Chengzhou said.
"Do you still want to scream all over the world that you changed the traffic officer yourself?" Li Xiangxue criticized.
Maintaining normalcy is the best protection for Lu Chengzhou.
Once he gets in touch with the traffic officer, Lu Chengzhou's social relationship will have an extra line in order to keep in touch.
For an agent who is under the attention of three parties, anything that happens to him may become a subject for others to study.
"Secretary Yao should be aware of my situation, right?" Lu Chengzhou asked. The second set of contact codes did not mention the address. Maybe Yao Yimin would come to the door on his own initiative.
"He currently knows nothing about your situation. Apart from knowing the code name 'Ant' and the contact code, he knows nothing about you." Li Xiangxue said.
This is what Tian Nanchen brought up. The less people know about Lu Chengzhou's identity, the safer he will be.
Even if Yao Yimin is the secretary of the Haigu Municipal Party Committee, he is no exception.
Lu Chengzhou's identity was too complicated. Especially after Lu Chengzhou entered the military police unit of the British Concession, he was used very cautiously.
Tian Nanchen's opinion is very clear. The organizational relationship of "Ant" can be transferred to the Haigu Municipal Committee, but the transfer of information is best unilateral.
"Mr. Li, can I still come to see you in the future?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly said sadly after talking to Li Xiangxue about work matters.
"Unless there are special circumstances, we cannot meet again. This is for your safety, and we must not be emotional." Li Xiangxue said solemnly.
"Okay." Lu Chengzhou let out a long sigh.
This morning, when he got rid of Ren Weigang, he didn't feel anything at all. He just felt that he had completed another task.
After arriving at the police station and sitting alone in the office, Lu Chengzhou recalled the entire process and suddenly realized that he had committed a murder.
Although the traitor was eliminated, Lu Chengzhou still needed to overcome psychological obstacles.
In the evening, meet the Japanese people.
Especially the sudden arrival of Hiroshi Kawasaki made Lu Chengzhou tense up again.
It wasn't until he met Li Xiangxue that he truly relaxed.
Reporting to Li Xiangxue about the work of the past two days, Lu Chengzhou reported in detail the process of getting rid of Ren Weigang.
When the matter was brought up again, Lu Chengzhou was unfazed. He had psychologically accepted this fact.
And, I feel sincerely happy for completing the organization's tasks.
Lu Chengzhou returned home at night and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Since joining the organization, Li Xiangxue has been not only his superior, but also his liaison.
But now, Li Xiangxue is leaving and has been replaced by a traffic officer who cannot meet or communicate with him.
And Yao Yimin, as the leader of the Haigu underground party, what kind of person is he?
When Lu Chengzhou left home the next morning, he glanced at No. 18 opposite.
Li Xiangxue must have left, but this will be a contact point for the party, and the traffic officers inside can be activated at any time.
"Chengzhou, you can come now. Go to the director's office quickly." Wen Jingzai came over immediately after seeing Lu Chengzhou.
"What happened?" Lu Chengzhou asked in a low voice.
"The Japanese are here again, making a lot of noise and being extremely scoundrels." Wen Jingzai looked contemptuous. Do these little Japanese think that the British Concession is the same as the Chinese Concession? The British are not easy to mess with.
Lu Chengzhou went to Clay Senqi's office, but at this time, Clay Senqi had already gone to Barnes's office.
Lu Chengzhou went to Barnes' office again, but before he got close, he heard Kawasaki Hiroshi's roar.
Last night, Kawasaki Hiroshi was furious because he failed to find Barnes and Clay Cenci. Early this morning, he came to investigate.
Lu Chengzhou is proficient in Japanese and is an inspector of the police department. Naturally, he is the unshirkable translator for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.
After Lu Chengzhou walked in, he found that Nakayama Ryoichi and Takahashi Toyoichi were sitting next to Kawasaki Hiroshi.
"The Police Department must unconditionally support the work of the Military Police Detachment. As long as the Military Police Detachment makes a call, the Police Department must dispatch the police within ten minutes." Kawasaki Hiroshi roared.
Lu Chengzhou glanced at Zhongshan Liangyi, and the two communicated silently.
Later, Lu Chengzhou sat next to Barnes and whispered Kawasaki Hiroshi's words in his ear.
"We have our own procedures, and the military police unit must also act in accordance with our regulations." After hearing Lu Chengzhou's translation, Barnes finally fully understood what Kawasaki Hiroshi meant.
Kawasaki Hiro speaks Japanese, and Barnes only understands English. The translation between them is really not something that ordinary people can handle.
"Your rules and regulations are too rigid and must be improved for the military police unit. Otherwise, we will take coercive measures." Kawasaki Hiroshi said coldly.
"The British Concession is a place with laws. If you do anything random, we will still arrest you." Barnes said dissatisfied.
"If you don't agree, we will blockade the British Concession again and fire the British people working in Haigu." Kawasaki Hiroshi threatened.
"The police department is not subordinate to the military police detachment." Barnes insisted.
"Well, if we encounter anti-Japanese elements in the future, we will arrest them ourselves," Kawasaki Hiroshi added.
"Impossible, you have no law enforcement rights in the British Concession." Barnes said angrily.
If the gendarmerie detachment is given law enforcement power in the British Concession, what will the police department do? Is the British Concession still a British Concession?
