Lu Chengzhou's estimate of Miao Guangyuan was still inaccurate.
After leaving Lu Chengzhou's office, Miao Guangyuan went to find Liangyi Zhongshan.
"Edinburgh Road is not Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction. He does need time. Isn't there a saying in China that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?" Nakayama Ryoichi said calmly.
He could understand Miao Guangyuan's urgent mood, but some things couldn't be rushed.
The British Concession is not an urban area, otherwise he could handle this kind of thing with just one phone call.
At the same time, Nakayama Liangyi also wanted to use this matter to examine Lu Chengzhou's personal abilities.
Because the members of the military police detachment each have a cover identity, they usually hold a meeting in the evening.
The meeting started late tonight because Takahashi Yuichi came back late.
At the meeting, Takahashi Toyichi introduced the latest developments in military control: members of the maintenance committee are being monitored.
"The military commander is too arrogant. He just killed He He. Are we going to take action against the maintenance committee again?" Lu Chengzhou said angrily.
"Director Lu, please pay more attention to Cao Wanshun's affairs. Over there, we have squad leader Gao Qiao. The military commander's actions are all under our control, how can they succeed?" Miao Guangyuan said in a calm tone.
explain.
When he went to the Intelligence Room, Lu Chengzhou was indeed very polite and what he said was very helpful to him.
However, there was not a single serious word.
"It's only been a day, Director Miao must be too impatient. I don't know much about Cao Wanshun's situation, and I don't know his character. If Director Miao has a plan, you can tell me and I will fully cooperate." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
said.
In his own office, his politeness was partly out of politeness and partly out of ridicule.
"That's not easy. If you drop stolen goods at his house, ask the police to send people to investigate. As long as Cao Wanshun is detained, he will definitely panic." Miao Guangyuan said disapprovingly.
He had heard of such things before when he was a manager at Yishi Bao.
Police officers, especially those with high positions, often work in cahoots with criminals.
Otherwise, how do they make money? Do they really rely on the salary from the police? They don’t even have enough to eat.
He was actually very familiar with this kind of routine, but he wasn't in Lu Chengzhou's position.
"This kind of thing needs to be planned in advance. It's easy to find someone at short notice. And it also requires extra expenses." Lu Chengzhou shook his head. He didn't appreciate this style of conduct.
"Isn't it just to scare him? The saying that a scholar meets a soldier is hard to explain. If you need money, I think it won't be a problem, right?" Miao Guangyuan looked at Nakayama Liangyi.
"Captain Zhongshan, I think we should observe for a few more days. At the same time, find a suitable time. As the saying goes, there are mistakes in busy work. No matter what happens, it is always better to plan more carefully." Lu Chengzhou also looked at Zhongshan Liangyi, sincerely
said.
"How many days do you need?" Nakayama Ryoichi asked noncommittally.
"Seven days." Lu Chengzhou hoped that the longer the better, but he estimated that seven days would be difficult.
"No, three days at most." Miao Guangyuan said immediately after hearing this.
"Director Miao, it's not your turn to make a decision on this matter, right?" Lu Chengzhou glanced at Zhongshan Liangyi and said meaningfully.
"Seven days is indeed too long, let's go five days." Zhongshan Liangyi glanced at Miao Guangyuan angrily.
"It's not that I want to shirk the blame. The so-called slow work can produce fine work. I don't know Cao Wanshun at all, what should I do with him? In addition, I want to remind Director Miao that within these five days, you can no longer have contact with Cao Wanshun." Lu Chengzhou
Say as a reminder.
"Why?" Miao Guangyuan said in surprise.
"The so-called Gua Tian Li Xia, we want to bring Cao Wanshun here, not push him to the Self-Defense Association. If the operation fails because of you, I will not be responsible." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Director Lu makes sense. Director Miao should not contact Cao Wanshun these days." Zhongshan Liangyi supported Lu Chengzhou's proposal.
"Thank you, Captain Zhongshan." Lu Chengzhou said gratefully.
In five days, he believed that this matter should be resolved.
"I'm going back first. Tomorrow morning, you go and keep an eye on Cao Wanshun. I want to know when they go out, what vegetables they bought in the morning, and his hobbies. At half past eight, you rush back to Daxing General Store, and I'll bring someone over.
." Lu Chengzhou said to Zhang Sichang after returning to the intelligence room.
"Shouldn't I go to Xiangyueli at dawn?" Zhang Sichang said with a bitter face.
"You'd better go there before dawn. Captain Zhongshan has given an order. We have a very heavy task to get Cao Wanshun involved in the case within five days." Lu Chengzhou said, he hoped that Zhang Sichang would stay with Cao Wanshun these days.
.
The disdain in Miao Guangyuan's eyes during the meeting, especially when he asked that he not have contact with Cao Wanshun these days, convinced Lu Chengzhou that Zhang Sichang would definitely contact Cao Wanshun.
When Lu Chengzhou returned home, Zhang Guanglin did not sleep. He had to guard Lu Chengzhou's house, for fear of causing losses to Lu Chengzhou due to his own reasons.
Besides, Lu Chengzhou promised to find him a job as a waiter, so Lu Chengzhou probably went to discuss this matter at night.
"Still not asleep?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Guanglin still standing in the corridor.
"Wait until Mr. Lu comes back before you sleep." Zhang Guanglin smiled honestly.
"You have agreed on your errand. Tomorrow you will go to the Daxing Grocery Store on No. 24 Road to find a boss named Zhang. I have already made an agreement with him." Lu Chengzhou said.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Zhang Guanglin bowed heavily to Lu Chengzhou and said gratefully.
"The clothes on your body are too dirty. You also need to wash them. Go in and take a shower." Lu Chengzhou said.
Zhang Guanglin took a shower in the room, but did not wear the clothes prepared by Lu Chengzhou. He just washed his own clothes, shirtless, and waited for them to dry.
"You will get sick like this. What if you get sick and lose your errand tomorrow? Moreover, your clothes are too shabby. When you work as a clerk in a store, your image is very important. If you wear rags, others will still come.
Do you want to buy something?" Lu Chengzhou found some of his old clothes. Their bodies were similar, so Zhang Guanglin's clothes should fit him very well.
Hearing what Lu Chengzhou said, Zhang Guanglin didn't dare to persist anymore. He really needed a job.
Even if he had no wages, as long as he had food and shelter and no need to trouble Lu Chengzhou, he would be satisfied.
As for the debt he owed to Lu Chengzhou, he would pay it back gradually in the future. He believed that he would be able to repay this kindness in his lifetime.
For Zhang Guanglin, Lu Chengzhou not only brought him back from the brink of starvation in the past two days, but also gave him new life.
Zhang Guanglin looked very energetic after changing his clothes and got up very early the next day.
"Let's go have breakfast together." After Lu Chengzhou went downstairs, he saw that Zhang Guanglin seemed to be a different person and asked him to go out with him.
"I'll just go to the grocery store to eat today." Zhang Guanglin shook his head. It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, but that he didn't want to owe Lu Chengzhou any favors.
He felt that the debt he owed might not be repaid in this life.
Lu Chengzhou no longer forced it, and just told him the specific location of Daxing General Store.
"Boss Zhang has something to do in the morning. He won't arrive until around nine o'clock. You can rest at home for a while before going." Lu Chengzhou looked at the time and it was only seven o'clock.
"I want to go early, check the door first, and wait for the boss in advance." Zhang Guanglin had his own idea.
Lu Chengzhou did not insist anymore, Zhang Guanglin was a man with his own ideas.
In the morning, after Lu Chengzhou completed his routine inspection, he called Sun Zhishu. Naturally, Lu Chengzhou would not miss this opportunity to do a favor.
Of course, it was not easy to discuss this matter over the phone, so Lu Chengzhou asked him to meet at the National Hotel in the French Concession.
In the British Concession, many people knew Lu Chengzhou.
But when he changed out of his police uniform and returned to the French Concession, he was basically safe.
Moreover, if we meet in the French Concession, we can avoid Kong Jingcun.
Kong Jingcun monitored Sun Zhishu. Although he would no longer be a shoe repairman, he would definitely not be able to repair cars.
"Lu Zhi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Sun Zhishu arrived at the National Hotel soon.
If someone else had asked him out, he might not be so forthcoming.
As the director of general affairs, he is now busier than the secretary-general.
The more official documents he handles, the more power he has. Sun Zhishu now feels that although he is not the secretary-general, he is better than the secretary-general.
"Military Police Headquarters, have you been notified?" Lu Chengzhou asked suddenly after waiting for Sun Zhishu to sit down.
"What are you telling me?" Sun Zhishu asked in surprise.
Lu Chengzhou was so mysterious that his heart suddenly lifted.
"You don't know?" Lu Chengzhou took a deep look at Sun Zhishu and suddenly stopped talking.
"Brother, you have to tell brother what happened." Sun Zhishu was made nervous by Lu Chengzhou.
"I can tell you, but you must not tell others, that's what I said." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"Of course, no matter who asks, I won't say a word." Sun Zhishu said firmly.
"The military commander has set his sights on you." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Military command?" Sun Zhishu was shocked. He suddenly thought of the Zheng Wenyou he saw in Jinghai County.
"The day before yesterday, a man died in the British Concession. He was stabbed to death in the street by a military uniform knife. At that time, no one nearby noticed that a murder had occurred." Lu Chengzhou introduced the process of He He's murder.
Because such a process is very likely to happen to Sun Zhishu.
"Oh my god." Sun Zhishu turned pale with fright after hearing how He He was killed.
"You don't have to worry too much. The gendarmerie already knows about this and will definitely protect you secretly." Lu Chengzhou said comfortingly.
"No, I have to hire some bodyguards." Sun Zhishu said uneasily, fearing that the military commander was outside.
"In addition to hiring bodyguards, you must take a car when you go out during this period and avoid appearing in public places." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"Thank you, brother." Sun Zhishu said gratefully.
"Since we are brothers, there is no need to say thank you." Lu Chengzhou said disapprovingly.
"If brother passes this test, I will thank you very much in the future." Sun Zhishu took Lu Chengzhou's hand and said sincerely.
