Lu Chengzhou started investigating from the nearest room 308. He led the detective team who changed into police uniforms, so no one else dared to suspect.
Lu Chengzhou did not agree on a secret code with the spy in advance, and he "didn't know" which room contained the suspect.
In order not to let the suspect go, Lu Chengzhou must be responsible and check carefully.
In addition to checking the guest's ID, his luggage must also be checked.
After Lu Chengzhou finished checking everything, he looked at the spy again and saw that he kept shaking his head, so Lu Chengzhou gave up.
"If it doesn't happen later, just call for a report." Lu Chengzhou warned softly as he went downstairs.
Returning to room 208, Lu Chengzhou asked the spy to knock on the door so that he could observe the residents inside head-on.
"Report." The spy stepped aside and shouted suddenly.
When Lu Chengzhou heard the secret signal, he just casually checked his identity documents and came out.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Neither of the first two rooms, the suspect is most likely in room 204.
Just as the spy was about to knock on the door of room 204, a burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded outside.
Lu Chengzhou didn't pay attention. On the contrary, he was secretly happy. If the people living in 204 were really comrades of our party, they would have been alert when they heard the sound of firecrackers.
Sure enough, when the spy knocked on the door again, there was no response in room 204.
"Where are the people inside?" The secret controller found his colleagues who were watching outside.
"Didn't come out."
"Not good." Lu Chengzhou exclaimed. He pushed the spy away and kicked the doorknob fiercely.
The door was kicked open and the room was empty, but the window was open.
Lu Chengzhou walked to the window and looked, and saw a man running. He looked back while running.
"Is it him?" Lu Chengzhou called the spy over and pointed in the direction where the man fled.
"Where are the people?"
Takahashi Toyoichi and Wen Jianmin suddenly walked in. They heard the sound of firecrackers and quickly came to find Lu Chengzhou.
"Run away." Lu Chengzhou casually pointed out the window.
"Hurry up and chase!" Takahashi Toyichi said angrily.
Lu Chengzhou is an inspector, so it's normal for him not to chase him out, but are the people in the detective team just for a living?
Lu Chengzhou originally thought that Wan Guoxing should be able to escape smoothly, but Wen Jianmin arranged for someone to wait behind him.
Sure enough, when Lu Chengzhou and others walked to the alley behind, two people came back escorting the embarrassed Wan Guoxing.
Lu Chengzhou walked over, took out the handcuffs, and cuffed Wan Guoxing.
"What does this mean?" Wen Jianmin asked in surprise. He caught the man himself.
"You have no law enforcement power in the British Concession. All those arrested publicly must be sent to the police station." Lu Chengzhou also said this to Takahashi Yuichi.
If you want someone, you have to follow normal procedures!
Lu Chengzhou's brain was running at high speed at this time. He did not expect that Wen Jianmin also had a backup plan.
No, this comrade must be rescued before he is taken back to the gendarmerie unit.
Wan Guoxing must have entered the gendarmerie unit. It would be difficult to find his way out. The most likely possibility is to bury him in the back garden.
"Isn't this necessary?" Wen Jianmin said disapprovingly.
Lu Chengzhou took his own money, couldn't he just turn a blind eye?
"Brother Wen, don't make things difficult for me. If this person is really an anti-Japanese element, he will be extradited to you. If he is an innocent citizen, we will release him." Lu Chengzhou glanced at Wan Guoxing and said meaningfully
.
He was reminding Wan Guoxing that being captured by him might not be a good or bad thing.
"What if he 'escaped' midway?" Takahashi Toyichi suddenly asked.
According to normal procedures, Lu Chengzhou wanted to take the person back to the patrol room.
However, the suspect "escaped" midway, so it has nothing to do with Lu Chengzhou.
"Well..." Lu Chengzhou said hesitantly.
Takahashi Toyichi's meaning is very obvious. We are all our own people. You can embarrass the healthy people, but you can't embarrass me.
Upon seeing this, Wen Jianmin took out another wad of banknotes and stuffed them into Lu Chengzhou's pocket.
"Okay." Lu Chengzhou glanced around. He hoped that other police officers would come over at this time. With such a big movement just now, someone should call the police.
Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to make such a decision. All he could do was to delay Wan Guoxing as much time as possible and create some noise outside the door.
If Wan Guoxing was alert enough, he should be able to escape.
Who set off the firecrackers? It was just right, and Wan Guoxing received an alert.
In fact, Wan Guoxing also escaped successfully.
If Wen Jianmin hadn't arranged people behind him, he should have been able to escape.
Lu Chengzhou analyzed that the firecrackers were probably set off by comrades from the underground party.
If he made some noise at this time to attract other patrol officers, the agents would not be able to take away Wan Guoxing.
After entering the patrol room, Wan Guoxing would be released soon as long as he did not commit any crime.
In fact, apart from Lu Chengzhou's inner pain, there was another person who was more painful than him.
After Yao Yimin set off the firecrackers, he waited outside. When he saw Lu Chengzhou coming out with someone, he immediately followed him.
Soon, he saw the prosperity of all nations.
However, there were about a dozen people around, and the six bullets in his gun had no effect except to hit him.
Seeing Lu Chengzhou handcuffing Wan Guoxing, Yao Yimin was itching with hatred.
Without the help of this traitor, could these spies catch Wan Guoxing?
As the top person in charge of the Haigu Municipal Party Committee, Yao Yimin considers not only personal safety, but also the safety of the organization.
If he were to be sacrificed, it might be in exchange for Wan Guoxing's life, and he would not hesitate.
However, sacrificing him cannot save the prosperity of all nations, so his sacrifice is of no value.
At this time, Wan Guoxing might not think he was an anti-Japanese element, but once he shot himself, his identity was confirmed.
Seeing Lu Chengzhou's cooperation, Takahashi Toyichi secretly lowered his head and let Lu Chengzhou stay at the police station, which was very useful.
"I'm leaving first. If this person suddenly yells, you can't take him away." Lu Chengzhou said casually while releasing Wan Guoxing's handcuffs.
Wan Guoxing was originally in despair, but when he heard Lu Chengzhou's words, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Yes, why have you forgotten that in the British Concession, as long as there is no crime, these spy organizations cannot arrest you.
This is British territory and cannot be left to their own devices.
When he arrived, a comrade who was familiar with the situation in Haigu specifically told him that if he was arrested by the agents, he could suddenly fall to the ground and shout for help.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Takahashi Toyichi also said politely to Lu Chengzhou.
Originally, he had a little doubt about Lu Chengzhou, but after today's incident, Lu Chengzhou's outstanding performance made him basically dispel his doubts.
"Take off your police uniform." Lu Chengzhou asked the spy to take off his police uniform, roll it up, and leave quickly.
Seeing Lu Chengzhou leaving alone, Yao Yimin took out his pistol without hesitation and pointed the gun at Lu Chengzhou.
If there are no other agents around, he will shoot without hesitation.
After Lu Chengzhou left, Takahashi Yuichi waved his hand, and the two Japanese military police he brought with him, one on the left and one on the right, were sandwiched by Wan Guoxing.
"Captain Wen, your people can leave." Takahashi Yuichi said to Wen Jianmin.
"Takahashi-san, can we conduct a joint trial?" Wen Jianmin asked respectfully, not daring to approach Takahashi Toyichi.
"We will interrogate first. If there is any information you need, we will naturally forward it to you." Takahashi Toyichi said impatiently.
"Should I send you back?" Wen Jianmin asked with concern, but he was cursing in his heart. I spent my money and efforts, and finally caught the suspect, but Takahashi Toyichi showed up halfway.
"No need, we have a car." Takahashi Toyichi knew that Wen Jianmin was still determined. Wen Jianmin did bring several men with him, but no matter how many people he had, they were still not as good as the soldiers of the Empire of Japan.
Wan Guoxing was sandwiched between the two men and behaved very submissively.
He has been waiting for an opportunity. If there are more people around, it is best to have patrols from the British Concession.
When they walked from the back alley to the front door of the Lili Hotel, there were more people around them.
In particular, there was also a police car that had just arrived at the entrance of Lilili Hotel, and several patrol officers walked out of the car.
"Help! Robbery! Murder!"
Wan Guoxing suddenly pushed the person on the left, shouted for help, and at the same time ran towards the police car.
"catch him!"
Takahashi Toyichi was in a hurry and gave orders in Japanese.
"Japanese agents are killing people!"
Wan Guoxing heard this Japanese sentence and shouted again.
The patrolman in the police car heard the noise here and rushed over immediately.
"Squad leader Takahashi, retreat quickly." Wen Jianmin suddenly walked up to Takahashi Toyichi and whispered.
They could do whatever they wanted in the urban area, but in the British Concession, they had to behave with their tail between their legs.
Although Takahashi Toyichi was Japanese, he was even more hated by people in the British Concession.
Hearing the words "Japanese spy", everyone around him was attracted.
The Japanese were killing people and setting fires in urban areas. They were full of rage but had no choice.
If the Japanese entered the concession and dared to act recklessly, they would not mind giving them a lesson in the concession.
"No!" Takahashi Yuichi's face was livid. Wen Jianmin had already handed over Wan Guoxing to him. At this time, Wan Guoxing escaped, and it was in his hands that he escaped.
However, the patrol has already caught up with him, and if Toyoichi Takahashi doesn't leave, he may be taken back to the patrol room.
Although he is a member of the military police unit, and the military police unit also has an agreement with the police department, no matter what kind of agreement, it is stipulated that the military police unit has no law enforcement power in the British Concession.
If you want to make a public arrest, the police must do it. What the gendarmerie detachment has to do is provide sufficient evidence.
"Let's go." Takahashi Toyichi said helplessly.
He didn't know where these patrol officers came from.
"It's a pity that the rooms upstairs haven't been checked yet." Wen Jianmin slapped his thigh. Wan Guoxing's luggage was left in the room just now. It would be nice if he could bring it back.
At this time, Lu Chengzhou was on the second floor of a teahouse opposite, opening a slit in the window and watching what was happening at the entrance of Lilili Hotel.
