Lu Chengzhou was not as surprised as Zhang Sichang. He had long known that the back garden of the military police unit was destined to become a big tomb.
"Do you know where it is buried?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"I buried it myself." Zhang Sichang led Lu Chengzhou to the back. Although he was the deputy director of the Intelligence Office, he still had to do such hard work.
Burying He He with his own hands made Zhang Sichang feel a sense of nameless sadness.
If one day he is killed by anti-Japanese elements, won't he even be able to find a coffin?
"Right here." Zhang Sichang pointed to a damaged area of turf, which had turned into a mud puddle because of the rain.
The rain gradually subsided. If Zhang Sichang hadn't led him, Lu Chengzhou would have been unable to find the place.
In order not to attract attention, no grave mounds were made.
Moreover, a tree was transplanted on top.
"Let's go." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
Whether as a classmate or colleague, he should come and see He He.
Although He He's end was tragic, he could also serve as a warning to others.
In particular, it is the most intuitive warning to the traitors in the military police unit.
Traitors are not so easy to be.
Seeing Zhang Sichang's expression, Lu Chengzhou felt that He He finally played a positive role with his death.
"Tomorrow, buy some candles and paper money to burn. After all, we are in a co-worker relationship." Lu Chengzhou sighed and said.
"The Japanese won't blame it, right?" Zhang Sichang said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I will tell Captain Zhongshan." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
In fact, even if he bought a coffin for He He, Nakayama Liangyi would not object.
"Then I'll be relieved." Zhang Sichang breathed a sigh of relief. He just asked about the operation in the afternoon, and was slapped hard by Takahashi Yuichi.
Coupled with He He's death, he had a heartfelt fear of the Japanese.
Zhang Sichang even regretted a little. Why did he work for the Japanese secret service because of money?
"In the future, you may need to run back and forth frequently. After all, there are some things that cannot be discussed on the phone." Lu Chengzhou warned after returning to the intelligence room.
In the past, when there was only one intelligence room, Nakayama Ryoichi would not say anything if he failed to achieve results.
But after Miao Guangyuan set up a second intelligence office, he was under greater pressure.
Relying solely on information obtained from public channels may not satisfy Nakayama Ryoichi.
Lu Chengzhou could not return to the military police unit often during the day, but Zhang Sichang could.
After Bai En's death, he became the real owner of No. 22 Cumberland Road.
"Director, it's not a problem that the grocery store is always closed." Zhang Sichang said awkwardly.
"Then ask a clerk to help look after the store." Lu Chengzhou said that if the Intelligence Office wants to develop, it must recruit people.
"Let me pay attention. It is more difficult to hire a suitable assistant now." Zhang Sichang thought for a while. He was engaged in espionage work and could not hire an ordinary assistant.
When returning, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 26, No. 51 Road again.
When Liu Youjun saw Lu Chengzhou, he held his hand tightly.
"Comrade 'Flame', I have received a commendation order from the top and promoted you to captain intelligence agent." Liu Youjun said excitedly.
At the gate of the gendarmerie detachment, the traitors were eliminated without leaving any traces. It was clean and neat, which can be called a classic.
In this classic pick-up, in addition to Pei Fuhai's precise sword skills, the intelligence provided by "Flame" ensured the ultimate success of the operation.
After Pei Fuhai returned, he asked Liu Youjun about the source of the intelligence.
His position at that time had been determined by Liu Youjun long ago, and He He's route was also known to him in advance.
Only the method of action is up to Pei Fuhai to choose. He can use a knife or a gun.
In order to retreat better, Pei Fuhai chose to use a knife.
"Aren't you given any bonus or something?" Lu Chengzhou asked with a smile.
"There will be bonuses, but you are still short of money now?" Liu Youjun was very suspicious. Lu Chengyi received three salaries on Monday. Not to mention other activities, this alone was enough for him to spend.
"My house is rented, I don't have a car when I go out, and I'm not married. I need money for a lot of things." Lu Chengzhou looked worried. His biggest expense was actually providing funds for party organizations.
The organization allowed him to lurk in the military command and the Japanese secret service, but did not assign him the task of providing funds.
However, Lu Chengzhou felt that he had the conditions to provide part of the funds for the organization, so of course he had to do his best.
At the same time, as a "traitor", Lu Chengzhou must maintain a superior life.
If he lived a poor life, both the military commander and the Japanese secret service would be suspicious.
Especially the military commander, knowing that he received such a large salary and had smuggled Japanese goods before, plus the bonus from the operation, Lu Chengzhou should not be short of money.
"We who are engaged in spy work cannot live a luxurious life." Liu Youjun reminded.
"It wouldn't be good if I had to hesitate again and again when I eat out, right?" Lu Chengzhou sighed.
"Okay, I'll give you the bonus tomorrow, okay?" Liu Youjun said helplessly after hearing Lu Chengzhou's complaint.
"Stationmaster, He He is a traitor. It would be very satisfying to get rid of him. But should we get rid of the real traitors, such as Zhang Sichang, Miao Guangyuan, or even Nakayama Ryoichi and Takahashi Toyoichi?" Lu Chengzhou asked
.
Miao Guangyuan's behavior made Lu Chengzhou feel in danger.
As a cultural traitor, Miao Guangyuan had access to many literati, including some well-known figures.
Some of these people are democrats or celebrities.
If they were bewitched by Miao Guangyuan, the confrontation would be very disadvantageous.
Of course, the most important thing is that Miao Guangyuan is currently eyeing the Self-Defense Association.
Although the Self-Defense Association has members of the Kuomintang, it is actually under the leadership of the Hebei Provincial Committee.
"This requires you to provide information. If the time is right, it will not be a problem. However, our main target at present is still on those influential traitors. For example, members of the maintenance committee." Liu Youjun shook his head slightly.
"How are the arrangements for Kong Jingcun?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"We won't make any arrangements for the time being." Liu Youjun said calmly.
Kong Jingcun is an undercover agent of the military police unit. How dare he be allowed to participate in the military commander's actions.
"It's not a big deal to have Kong Jingcun stay at Kang Bonan Road every day. Can I borrow it for a while?" Lu Chengzhou smiled.
"Borrowing?" Liu Youjun didn't understand what Lu Chengzhou was thinking.
"I want him to keep an eye on Sun Zhishu, who maintains the meeting, and reveal a possible plan. Sun Zhishu is the next He He." Lu Chengzhou lowered his voice and expressed his thoughts.
Lu Chengzhou was actually very thoughtful about the use of Kong Jingcun.
There is an undercover gendarmerie detachment in his hands. Perhaps in Liu Youjun's view, he is a hot potato.
But Lu Chengzhou believed that as long as he could make good use of this person, he could lead the military police unit by the nose.
"Don't you have a good relationship with Sun Zhishu?" Liu Youjun said in surprise.
The special pass Lu Chengzhou gave him last time was obtained by Sun Zhishu for him.
However, Lu Chengzhou actually asked the military commander to assassinate Sun Zhishu.
"It's precisely because we have a good relationship that we have to maintain it." Lu Chengzhou smiled mysteriously.
"You kid, you want to use Kong Jingcun as a favor!" Liu Youjun suddenly understood.
Lu Chengzhou didn't really want the military commander to assassinate Sun Zhishu. He just transferred Kong Jingcun and released a message through Kong Jingcun that the military commander was ready to take action against Sun Zhishu.
If Lu Chengzhou had informed Sun Zhishu of this information in time, wouldn't the General Affairs Director of the Maintenance Association shed tears of gratitude to Lu Chengzhou?
"Also, when can the dumpling stall in front of my door be evacuated? It is still in the hands of He He. He is dead, so it should be evacuated, right?" Lu Chengzhou said dissatisfied.
"Okay, we'll remove it tomorrow night. However, you can't take it lightly. You still have to be particularly careful when entering and exiting." Liu Youjun warned.
Lu Chengzhou's interactions with him were like walking on a tightrope every time.
Once someone discovers him, Lu Chengzhou's identity will most likely be exposed.
When Lu Chengzhou returned home, Zhang Guanglin, who was sleeping in the corridor, was still fast asleep.
Zhang Guanglin slept soundly indeed. He hadn't had a full stomach for a long time, and he didn't have to worry about being chased away.
When Lu Chengzhou was getting ready to go to work the next day, he had already woken up and cleaned the yard.
"Thank you sir for saving your life last night." Zhang Guanglin was about to leave long ago, but he still wanted to say thank you to Lu Chengzhou in person.
"It's just a little effort, do you have somewhere to go?" Lu Chengzhou naturally saw that the yard was being cleaned.
Zhang Guanglin stood there cautiously. Although his clothes were very shabby, his face was clean.
"I'm going to work as a porter at the dock." Zhang Guanglin said.
"If you don't have a place to sleep at night, I can lend it to you here." Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
Don't help the poor, don't help the poor; don't help the poor, don't help the lazy.
Zhang Guanglin is willing to find a job to make money, and Lu Chengzhou is willing to help him again.
After Zhang Guanglin's behavior last night, Lu Chengzhou felt that it would be okay to help such a person again.
"Thank you, sir. I wonder what your surname is?" Zhang Guanglin asked suddenly.
"My surname is Lu, have you read a book?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
In fact, judging from Zhang Guanglin's performance, he should be educated.
"I only went to school for three years. I can read newspapers and write and do calculations." Zhang Guanglin said modestly.
"Well, come with me. I'll treat you to a big meat bun. Only when you're full can you have the strength to work." Lu Chengzhou said as he locked the door.
"Zhang is already grateful for the meal last night. How can I let Mr. Lu spend more money? In the future, if I make money, I will treat Mr. Lu to a restaurant." Zhang Guanglin shook his head.
He had already eaten Lu Chengzhou's three kilograms of dumplings last night. Even if he had almost digested them, he could not eat any more of Lu Chengzhou's food.
The meal last night was equivalent to Lu Chengzhou saving his life.
If he eats Lu Chengzhou's buns again, it will be charity. Zhang Guanglin doesn't want to be looked down upon.
Lu Chengzhou didn't persuade him anymore, everyone has their own principles.
Yesterday, Lu Chengzhou failed to see Miao Guangyuan. Today, he specially found a teahouse on No. 24 Road and booked a private room to talk to him.
"Mr. Miao, have you been waiting for a long time?" Lu Chengzhou said with a smile after entering the box and seeing Miao Guangyuan sitting alone by the window.
"It's my honor to wait for Officer Lu." Miao Guangyuan stood up quickly.
"Zhongshan has already told me how we need to cooperate. Mr. Miao just said it directly." Lu Chengzhou looked at the sanctimonious Miao Guangyuan with an indescribable hatred in his heart.
However, on the surface, he still had to chat and laugh with Miao Guangyuan.
It is difficult for people who have never experienced this kind of thing to experience this silent pain.
"There is a professor from Peiping. I want to ask him to help me promote Japan's China policy. But he is still hesitant and wants to ask the police officer for help." Miao Guangyuan said in a low voice.
"I have never been to a serious university, how can I have a common language with the professor?" Lu Chengzhou smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
"Officer Lu doesn't have to communicate with the professor, he only needs to involve him in a certain case." Miao Guangyuan chuckled softly.
"Mr. Miao's move is very clever." Lu Chengzhou raised his thumb.
It is said that women's hearts are the most poisonous, but compared with a bad-mouthed scholar like Miao Guangyuan, they are really inferior.
"This man lives at No. 5, Xiangyue Lane, Edinburgh. His surname is Cao Wanshun. He has taught in many universities in Peking and is considered a celebrity in the academic world." Miao Guangyuan used tea and wrote the three words "Cao Wanshun" on the table.
.
"Does he live alone?" Lu Chengzhou erased the words and asked.
"I live with my wife, and students often visit me," Miao Guangyuan introduced.
"He is not my jurisdiction. I have to go and find out how to operate it. Does Mr. Miao have any ideas?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"I don't quite understand this." Miao Guangyuan shook his head. He believed that Lu Chengzhou must have a solution after working in the police force for so long.
Lu Chengzhou did have a way, but Cao Wanshun was not dragged into the trap by Miao Guangyuan, which shows that this person can still be won over.
At noon, Lu Chengzhou went to Daxing General Store and asked Zhang Sichang to go to No. 5, Xiangyue Lane, Edinburgh Road to find out the details of Professor Cao Wanshun.
"Director, I went to Xiangyueli, and the grocery store has to be closed again." Zhang Sichang said in embarrassment.
"Compared with your mission, what does it matter whether your grocery store is open today?" Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"Okay." Zhang Sichang said helplessly. Lu Chengzhou was his boss, and this was Nakayama Ryoichi's order. The swelling on his face had not subsided yet.
Yesterday, he buried He He with his own hands, but he didn't want others to bury him again in the future.
"Do you have any clues about the guy you're looking for?" Lu Chengzhou asked again.
"Not yet. It's too difficult to find a suitable person." Zhang Sichang sighed.
When Lu Chengzhou passed by Kang Bonan Road again, he really didn't see Kong Jingcun.
He He had just been sanctioned yesterday, and Kong Jingcun had made a great contribution. It was normal for the military commander to assign him another task.
Kong Jingcun was very excited when he received the task of monitoring Sun Zhishu.
He is the leader of the surveillance team directly under Liu Youjun. He is asked to monitor Sun Zhishu. What does this mean?
It is very possible that the military commander will take action against Sun Zhishu.
He made significant meritorious service in sanctioning He He.
If the military commander assassinates Sun Zhishu, will Kong Jingcun be involved?
After receiving the report from Kong Jingcun, Takahashi Toyichi was also very excited.
In order to prompt military commanders to act quickly, he obtained Sun Zhishu's daily activities through his own connections.
Yesterday's failure did not defeat Takahashi Toyichi, but instead aroused his fighting spirit.
I didn’t come back until three in the afternoon, so I quickly made up for lunch.
