Lu Chengzhou sat on a stool, took out a cigarette, and lit one for himself.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke. Through the smoke, Lu Chengzhou looked at the stall owner leisurely.
I am in my twenties, no more than thirty, and my dumpling skills are a bit stiff, and I don't look like someone who often sets up a stall.
"Is this the first time for the little boss to set up a stall?" Lu Chengzhou asked with a smile after waiting for the dumplings to arrive.
"It has been displayed elsewhere before."
"Are you married?" Lu Chengzhou asked again.
"not yet?"
"How many people are there in the family?" Lu Chengzhou asked immediately.
"If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Please ask the police officer to take more care of you in the future."
Lu Chengzhou didn't ask again. The sudden appearance of the stall was abnormal to begin with.
And the little boss's answer was even more abnormal.
An unmarried young man with no parents, wife or children would probably not do such a thing.
Being able to do this kind of thing is because of the pressure of life and the need to support the family.
There was also the boss's gaze, which glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
It all shows that this person has another purpose.
There are not many pedestrians in the area where he lives at night, so setting up a stall here is probably not for making money.
Lu Chengzhou estimated that there would be another stall here tomorrow morning.
Lu Chengzhou suddenly thought that there were strangers at his door, and there must be even more strangers at the military police detachment.
After arriving home, Lu Chengzhou was supposed to change out of his police uniform and secretly go to the military police detachment.
But he only washed his face at home, put on his police uniform, and moved his bicycle out of the front door.
Lu Chengzhou noticed that when he went out, the owner of the dumpling stall opposite looked at him at least three times.
I rode my bicycle around No. 22 Cumberland Road and found that there was indeed a suspicious stranger nearby.
Lu Chengzhou went to the street, stopped two police officers, and asked them to pay special attention to the safety of No. 22 Kang Bonan Road at night.
Lu Chengzhou put his bicycle at the door of the military police unit. He turned around, looked around, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door of the military police unit.
"Why are you here wearing a police uniform?" Zhongshan Liangyi said in surprise when he saw Lu Chengyi wearing a police uniform.
"Something like this happened today, so I came here to check it out in the evening for official business." Lu Chengzhou explained.
He looked just now and saw that there were many people in front and behind.
Some of these people look like ordinary people at first glance, and they are just out of curiosity.
Or maybe you don’t have time to protest during the day and want to come and watch the excitement at night.
In fact, apart from the dirty signboard, there was no movement outside No. 22 Cumberland Road.
Other gendarmerie detachments also arranged for a gendarmerie to stand guard. The door here was closed and the situation in the yard could not be seen.
In addition, the military police detachment had guns, so ordinary people really didn't dare to get close.
"Some of us have guns, but your men are still outside. How dare they come in and cause trouble?" Nakayama Ryoichi said with a sneer.
"Captain, I met an Englishman named Bai En this afternoon. He said he was the landlord here and threatened to let us move out. I wonder if the negotiation has been completed?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly thought of Bai En.
"It has been solved." Nakayama Ryoichi said nonchalantly.
Lu Cheng was stunned on Monday, has it been solved?
Judging from Bai En's attitude at the time, he would not give up until the military police detachment was driven out.
"That's good, I thought it would be troublesome." Lu Chengzhou smiled.
"Tomorrow morning, there will be a notice at the door. Remember to send someone to guard it. Your people will not be able to withdraw until at least the afternoon." Nakayama Ryoichi said suddenly.
"What notice?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
"Won't you know when you see me tomorrow? You are wearing a police uniform to avoid people outside paying attention, so you should go back first," Nakayama Ryoichi reminded.
After Lu Chengzhou went out, he once again told the patrol officers that there would be people here at any time tomorrow.
No matter what instructions Nakayama Ryoichi gave, on the surface, Lu Chengzhou still had to obey them.
If you want to break into the Japanese secret service, you must do something that others cannot understand.
Even if he is regarded as a traitor and a lackey of the Japanese, he still has to act with integrity.
Before leaving, Lu Chengzhou went to the intelligence room. As the director of the intelligence room, he had no time during the day and still had to exercise his rights and obligations at night.
However, there was no one in the intelligence room.
Lu Chengzhou heard a voice next door, and went over to see it. It turned out to be the translator Tang Dianwu and Hong Baotang.
"Director." Tang Dianwu was in his twenties. He studied in Japan and served the Japanese before the Anti-Japanese War.
"Has today's intelligence summary been completed?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
It is precisely because Tang Dianwu has served Japan for several years that he was sent to the military police unit this time.
"Not yet. Captain Zhongshan has ordered me to translate something for Mr. Hong." Tang Dianwu explained.
"Oh." Lu Chengzhou glanced at it, and there was indeed a piece of information in front of them.
"Director Lu, I'm really sorry, because I have to write a Japanese version of the revelation, so I have to work hard to translate it." Hong Baotang said with a smile.
"Captain Zhongshan's orders must be carried out resolutely. You guys need to work first." Lu Chengzhou closed the door without going in again.
Lu Chengzhou suddenly realized that he did not pay enough attention to Hong Baotang.
As expected, what Tang Dianwu wants to translate is to post the revelation tomorrow.
This former manager of "Yi Shi Bao" actually wanted to give Nakayama Ryoichi a revelation. What did it mean?
Hong Baotang was trusted by Nakayama Liangyi, and at the same time, Hong Baotang was also very good at making bad ideas.
This made Lu Chengzhou very worried. Hong Baotang was a traitor through and through. The stronger his ability, the more destructive he would be.
The next day, Lu Chengzhou woke up very early.
Last night, Lu Chengzhou was locked up in the patrol room all night, and he actually couldn't bear it.
Last night, Lu Chengzhou wanted to come and let him go.
When Lu Chengzhou went out, he found that someone else had gotten up earlier than him.
Opposite him, there is another shoe repair stall.
Lu Chengzhou frowned secretly. He had already sent information to Liu Youjun last night. Why did he send someone to monitor him today?
Before the Anti-Japanese War, the CCP and the military were fighting to the death.
But the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated again. No matter how defensive the military was against the CCP, the order given to Lu Chengzhou was to fully cooperate with the military to resist Japan and to strive to achieve an anti-Japanese national united front.
Lu Chengzhou hoped that He He could focus on the real Japanese spies.
A shoemaker during the day and a dumpling stall at night, no matter how much money is wasted, at least two people are occupied.
When Lu Chengzhou went to the patrol room, Cheng Ruien was sleeping standing up with his hands on the iron fence.
"Hey, I really admire you for being able to sleep standing up." Lu Chengzhou held four buns in his hand, which were the breakfast he bought for Cheng Ruien on the road.
"Huh." Cheng Ruian opened his eyes, glanced sideways at Lu Chengzhou, turned his face to one side, and changed his posture.
At this time, Cheng Ruien's body was sore. He had stood all night, unable to sit or lie down. Last night, he cursed Lu Chengzhou in his heart all night long.
However, his character determines that it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat.
Even if Lu Chengzhou hangs him up and beats him severely, he will never apologize to Lu Chengzhou.
In his opinion, Lu Chengzhou was the real traitor.
Such traitors must be punished resolutely.
"Click."
Lu Chengzhou took out the key and let go of Cheng Ruien.
Withdrawing his hands, Cheng Ruian felt more comfortable than ever before. He took a step back, but after standing all night, all the muscles in his body were stiff and he couldn't stand firm. He stumbled and sat on the ground.
"Lu Chengzhou, come here."
Lu Chengzhou was about to speak when he heard Liu Lifeng's voice.
He trotted over quickly: "Virgin, what are your orders?"
"Who is this?" Liu Lifeng asked in a low voice.
"A student from Nankai University made trouble on Kangbo South Road yesterday," Lu Chengzhou said.
"Isn't it just a protest? I'll just lock him up for one night." Liu Lifeng frowned and said.
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou was about to let him go, but when Liu Lifeng said this, he had sufficient reasons.
"Let's go." Lu Chengzhou opened the door and let Cheng Ruien out.
"Remember it, traitor!" Cheng Ruian reached out and knocked the buns handed over by Lu Chengzhou to the ground, rubbed his wrists, and prepared to leave.
"Sign." Lu Chengzhou shouted.
He shook his head secretly. Cheng Ruien was still acting out his temper. It seemed like last night was a waste of time.
There was indeed a notice posted at the door of No. 22 Cumberland Road, written in Japanese and Chinese.
Obviously, this was the work of Hong Baotang.
It goes without saying that the Japanese army "reasonably" invaded and occupied Haigu.
There is actually only one key message: reporting will reward you.
As long as those who report clues about anti-Japanese elements to the gendarmerie detachment, once confirmed, will be given two hundred yuan in banknotes each time.
If you can help arrest anti-Japanese elements, you will be given a 500-yuan bank note at a time, and your relatives and property in the city will be protected.
At the same time, the military police unit will keep the identity of the person providing clues strictly confidential.
Even Lu Chengzhou was a little excited after seeing such a high reward.
In fact, this kind of reporting has always existed, whether it is the police station or the former public security bureau.
It's just that there's no notice to make it public, and the price isn't that high.
There has been no major progress in the work of the military police unit in the British Concession. Hong Baotang gave him such an idea, and Nakayama Ryoichi was certainly willing to give it a try.
"Check around, the Japanese are so damn rich." Wang Siguang had also been paying attention to the situation at No. 22 Kang Bonan Road. When he saw Lu Chengzhou appearing, he immediately came over.
"No matter how rich you are, you can't make this kind of money." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
"The seat patrol makes sense." Wang Siguang said hurriedly.
"Today, we must pay special attention to people coming to make trouble. We can't help the Japanese inside. Whatever they want to do, we can't let the Chinese suffer. Just curse a few times and get over it. If someone rushes in and someone is killed or injured,
That is our responsibility." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"Did you see that Lu Chengzhou was openly acting as a thug for the Japanese?" He He was still sitting in the box where he was yesterday, but today he brought a telescope and could clearly see Lu Chengzhou's every move.
"Should we get rid of him?" Kong Jingcun across from him said, he was the shoemaker in the morning. After Lu Chengzhou went to work, he could close the stall.
