The next day, Lu Chengzhou received a call from Kawasaki Hiroshi and asked him to go to the Yoshino Hotel on Suma Street in the evening.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised. He just established his classmates yesterday and asked him to meet again today. Is he too eager?
Thinking of Kawasaki Hiro's identity, Lu Chengzhou did not refuse.
When Lu Chengzhou was looking around, he didn't see anyone else.
Lu Chengzhou was surprised. Shouldn't it be a class reunion tonight?
"Lu Jun, I would like to ask you to serve as the executive director of the alumni association. I wonder if you are willing to give in?" Seeing Lu Chengzhou looking around, Kawasaki Hiro immediately raised the topic.
"Am I qualified?" Lu Chengzhou said "flattered".
"When you were in school, your grades were very good and you were a role model for others to learn from. After graduation, you were promoted the fastest. The kidnapping case solved this time is a very typical case." Kawasaki Hiroshi said with a smile.
"Thank you teacher for your encouragement and affirmation, then I will give it a try. Big things still need to be checked by the teacher. I only do specific work. If there is anything I don't do well, please criticize and correct me in time." Lu Chengzhou pondered for a long time.
, said solemnly.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the class reunion. You can definitely handle it." Kawasaki Hiro was very satisfied with Lu Chengzhou's attitude.
When Lu Chengzhou was about to speak, a Japanese man in kimono walked in.
Kawasaki Hiroshi immediately introduced Lu Chengzhou: "This is Mr. Nozaki, the owner of this restaurant and a good friend of mine."
Nozaki is just like ordinary Japanese people. He is not tall, has dark skin, and looks very strong.
"Mr. Lu, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me." Nozaki bowed to Lu Chengzhou and said humbly.
"We will often gather here in the future. If I am not here, you can go directly to Nozaki." Kawasaki Hiroshi introduced from the side.
"Mr. Nozaki, you are too polite. I will ask you to take care of me in the future." Lu Chengzhou stood up, bowed to Nozaki, and said politely.
The eyes of Lu Chengzhou and Nozaki collided in the air, and Lu Chengzhou immediately withdrew his gaze.
He was secretly surprised, Nozaki was like a wild beast, his eyes full of aggression and wildness.
"As long as everyone appreciates you, I will give you a 50% discount on all expenses incurred by your classmates here in the future." Nozaki said immediately.
"50% off? Aren't you going to lose money?" Lu Chengzhou said embarrassedly.
"It's an honor for you to come to the store. Kawasaki-kun is my good friend, so that's what it should be." Nozaki said enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Nozaki." Lu Chengzhou said politely.
After Nozaki left, Lu Chengzhou took a deep look at his back. He felt that Nozaki didn't look like a restaurant owner.
Nozaki's eyes tried hard to show humility, but Lu Chengzhou saw a hint of cunning in the depths of his eyes, like an old fox seeing its prey.
"Mr. Lu Chengzhou, yesterday you said you wanted to start a family, do you have any specific ideas?" Kawasaki Hiro asked.
"Work hard and try to save more money to marry a wife." Lu Chengzhou said quickly.
He didn't know what Hiroshi Kawasaki meant and didn't dare to speak casually.
"I heard that the inspectors in the British Concession can get married at any time, but at most half of the inspectors and deputy inspectors are allowed to get married. As for the patrol police, the number of people who can get married cannot exceed 3%?" Kawasaki Hiroshi asked.
"This is for Yinqiao. In fact, for Huaqiao, there are even fewer people who can approve the marriage." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
"It doesn't matter. You have just graduated. Once you have some savings and solve a few cases, you should be promoted to inspector. Then you will be able to get married without restrictions." Kawasaki Hiroshi said comfortingly.
"With the current salary, it will be difficult to save money to marry a wife." Lu Chengzhou sighed and said.
"Have you ever thought about receiving an extra salary?" Kawasaki Hiroshi said suddenly.
"How to get it?" Lu Chengzhou's heart moved and he asked calmly.
It is very possible that Kawasaki Hiroshi asked himself to come to the party today just to introduce himself to a "money path".
"Of course you are using your strengths. You were the inspector before and now you are the deputy inspector..." Kawasaki Hiroshi said meaningfully.
"I can't do anything that violates the law knowingly. Isn't this what the teacher has always taught me?" Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"Why would the teacher ask you to do something illegal? For example, if there is a reporter who is interested in cases in the British Concession and other matters, and is willing to pay for these news clues, does it count as a crime?" asked Hiroshi Kawasaki.
.
"Strictly speaking, it's against the rules." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"As long as you don't say it, it's not a violation." Kawasaki Hiro said with a smile.
"Teachers should know that our uniformed police officers rarely encounter major cases. I think that journalist friend may be disappointed." Lu Chengzhou said.
"Reporters are curious about everything. If you are worried about money, I think he would be willing to pay monthly and pay separately if he has good leads. With this extra income, you can marry a wife if you want.
It’s easy.” Kawasaki Hiroshi said quickly.
"This..." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
"Ninety percent of the things in the world can be solved by money. For example, today's party will be broken up if there is no money." Kawasaki Hiro advised.
"What about the remaining 10%?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"The remaining 10% requires more money to solve." Kawasaki Hiroshi said seriously.
"What the teacher said makes sense, but..." Lu Chengzhou said hesitantly.
"But what?" Kawasaki Hiro asked.
"How much can you give me a month?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Well, it's easy to talk about." Kawasaki Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Lu Chengzhou would still refuse.
After Lu Chengzhou left, Kawasaki Hiroshi sat alone in the room. After a while, the short and stocky Nozaki walked in. After bowing to Kawasaki Hiroshi, he knelt down and sat opposite.
"Kawasaki-kun, how are you?" Nozaki and Hiroshi Kawasaki did not speak Japanese, but communicated in Chinese.
"Basically there is no problem. For these Chinese people, money can solve most of their problems." Kawasaki Hiroshi said proudly.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Kawasaki. On behalf of the Nozaki Mansion, I would like to thank you again." Nozaki quickly stood up, bowed to Mr. Kawasaki, and said gratefully.
Of course Nozaki is not a restaurant owner, but the person in charge of the Nozaki Mansion located on Suma Street.
The Nozaki Mansion is a secret service agency commissioned by the Kwantung Army. The person in charge, Nozaki, was a retired major of the Japanese Navy.
The main task of the Nozaki Mansion is to collect intelligence on the British, French, and Italian concessions, including political, military, and economic developments.
"They are all serving the empire, so it's nothing." Kawasaki Hiroshi said nonchalantly.
"All the funds for the classmate association you formed can be borne by the Nozaki Residence." Nozaki said sincerely.
"No, the garrison will be responsible for this expense. You only need to be responsible for Lu Chengzhou's expenses. I have negotiated with him for fifty silver dollars per month. If you provide information, I will pay an additional bonus." Kawasaki Hiro
explain.
"Thank you so much. Can I use this Lu Chengzhou?" Nozaki asked.
"Isn't he going to be used by you now? These Chinese people are very light-boned and only have money in their eyes." When Kawasaki Hiroshi talked about Lu Chengzhou again, his eyes were filled with contempt.
As an outstanding citizen of the Japanese Empire, he felt that the Chinese were an inferior nation. If it were not for the benefit of the empire, he would not go to China and lower his dignity to associate with these Chinese people.
"This person's identity is unusual. If he can remain loyal to the Japanese Empire, it will be of great benefit to us in gathering intelligence." Nozaki said.
"Always be wary of the Chinese and never completely trust them," Kawasaki Hiro warned.
