While waiting for the dumplings, Lu Chengzhou lit a cigarette.
He He's death was already expected.
However, Lu Chengzhou still felt a little uncomfortable.
He He was his classmate. When Xiongzhenlou was here, they shared bunk beds and worked together at Haigu Station.
Originally, Lu Chengzhou hoped to join hands with He He to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Unexpectedly, He He would reach this point.
If He He could have persisted a little longer, perhaps this would not have ended like this.
"Sir, your dumplings."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Chengzhou took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube and was about to eat when he noticed a man on the street looking at him blankly.
To be precise, he was looking at the bowl of dumplings in front of him.
"How many days have you not eaten?" Lu Chengzhou waved to the man and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Although Lu Chengzhou was wearing a police uniform, it was already dark and the man didn't pay attention.
A hungry person sees nothing but food.
"No water has come in for three days."
The man's steps were a bit unsteady. He was so hungry that he couldn't even walk.
"Eat it." Lu Chengzhou pushed the dumplings forward and placed his chopsticks on the bowl.
"Give it to me?" The man was stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, Lu Chengzhou could clearly see that the other party's eyes became brighter.
"Eat." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
"Thank you, sir." The man bowed to Lu Chengzhou, without using chopsticks, he grabbed the dumplings in the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Two more liang, no, a pound of dumplings." Lu Chengzhou saw how fast he was eating dumplings and knew that if he asked for another two liang, he would still not be able to eat them.
However, Lu Chengzhou still underestimated the other party's appetite.
After eating three kilograms of dumplings, the man still wasn't satisfied.
"You can't eat too much. It's three kilograms of dumplings. If you eat any more, I'm afraid your belly will burst." Lu Chengzhou took out a cigarette and was about to smoke one when he handed one to the other party.
"Thank you sir, Zhang will definitely repay you for this favor in the future." Zhang Guanglin bowed heavily to Lu Chengzhou again and said gratefully.
"It's rare for you to bow to me before eating dumplings." Lu Chengzhou nodded. Bowing after eating was nothing.
His feet were so weak from hunger that he could still bear not to eat, so he bowed and thanked him first. Lu Chengzhou felt that this person's character must not be bad.
"Sir, I will repay you with a meal." Zhang Guanglin said solemnly.
"It's going to rain. Let's go back early." Lu Chengzhou looked at the sky. It was already windy and he could smell the heavy rain.
Before I finished speaking, the rain came suddenly, like an uninvited guest, coming so suddenly.
The young man at the dumpling stall is also preparing to close the stall and go home.
After Lu Chengzhou paid the bill, he pushed his bicycle and hurried home.
I opened the lock, lifted the bicycle, and when I was about to go in, I saw Zhang Guanglin hiding under the eaves of the house opposite.
"It's raining three-quarters of a time on the eaves. Come to my house and spend the night." Lu Chengzhou shouted loudly.
Zhang Guanglin hesitated for a moment, and finally trotted over.
After walking to the room and Lu Chengzhou turned on the light, Zhang Guanglin saw clearly the police uniform on Lu Chengzhou.
He was stunned at that time and stood there without daring to move.
"It turned out to be the policeman." Zhang Guanglin had a kind of awe from the heart for the policeman.
"I'm not an adult. You can find a place to rest by yourself. There should be a bed in that room and bedding in the cupboard. I live upstairs, so don't go up there at will." Lu Chengzhou is a single man and his family never has a party.
Except for my room, everything else was covered in dust.
"Thank you sir, I will just stay in the corridor outside for one night." Zhang Guanglin shook his head.
"It's so windy and rainy outside, you'll catch a cold." Lu Chengzhou said.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhang Guanglin insisted.
"It's up to you." Lu Chengzhou didn't insist.
His corridor is half a foot wide, which can be considered as half a room. If you go to the innermost place, you should not get wet.
"Sir, please close the door." Zhang Guanglin reminded him after closing the door of the main hall.
Lu Chengzhou went upstairs to change his clothes and was about to go out when he heard Zhang Guanglin snoring in the living room.
During this period, Zhang Guanglin never had a full meal or a good night's sleep.
In the corridor of Lu Chengzhou's yard, he didn't have to worry about being chased away, nor did he have to worry about police patrols coming to get him, so he could have a good sleep with peace of mind.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Lu Chengzhou still wanted to go out.
He was wearing a raincoat, which was more convenient in the dark night.
However, at this time, Lu Chengzhou felt that if he had a car, he would be able to protect himself from wind and rain.
In fact, Lu Chengzhou didn't want to go to the military police unit tonight. Takahashi Toyoichi stumbled once again. Everyone disliked him. If he went at this time, he would only be offended for no reason.
The slap mark on Zhang Sichang's face today is the best proof.
Fortunately, after Lu Chengzhou visited the military police unit, Takahashi Toyoichi had regained his composure.
"Director Lu, although today's operation failed, Kong Jingcun was praised by Liu Youjun. Overall, we still gained something." Nakayama Liangyi could only comfort himself in this way.
Kong Jingcun and He He were both members of the same family, and Kong Jingcun was still lurking in the military command.
But even so, the military commander still succeeded.
After all, Kong Jingcun was just the leader of the surveillance team and did not know the specific plans of the military commander.
His mission was to lure He He to Ren'an. Who would have thought that the military commander would take action halfway?
"As long as Kong Jing exists under the military command, we will still have a chance." Lu Chengzhou nodded and agreed.
"Miao Guangyuan has been in contact with people from the Self-Defense Association recently, can you cooperate?" Although Nakayama Ryoichi used a soliciting tone, he had no intention of soliciting.
"This is obligatory." Lu Chengzhou was shocked. Did Miao Guangyuan's work actually fall on the North China People's Self-Defense Committee?
During this period, he rarely saw Miao Guangyuan, a traitor who claimed to be a scholar, actually targeting the Self-Defense Association.
"Miao Guangyuan used his identity to contact some people. Some of these people are still hesitant. Your task is to let them serve the Japanese Empire. As for how to do it, you can discuss it with Miao Guangyuan in detail.
" Nakayama Ryoichi said.
Miao Guangyuan has been doing ideological work for some cultural figures in the British Concession, and some of these people are members of the Self-Defense Association.
If we can win over some of these people, it will be a victory.
Miao Guangyuan was not in the gendarmerie unit at night, so Lu Chengzhou discussed with him and decided to do it tomorrow.
"Where's your congratulations?" Lu Chengzhou asked Zhang Sichang after returning to the intelligence room.
"Bury it, just bury it in the back." Zhang Sichang pointed to the back. He really couldn't imagine what the back garden of the military police detachment would look like in the future.
