Zhang Sichang was happy when he heard that he could go out.
He confessed mainly because he could not bear the torture.
Whatever confession Lu Chengzhou wants, he will solicit.
Otherwise, the Japanese would be really aggressive.
Kaida Shinichiro and Tanaka were also acquaintances, but as soon as he entered the torture room, he acted like enemies. The previous friendship was not worth mentioning at all.
Lu Chengzhou wanted him to accept that he was the Communist Party, but at first Zhang Sichang gritted his teeth and insisted.
However, he really couldn't stand the Japanese torture.
If Zhang Sichang had a strong bone, he would not have become a traitor.
Zhang Sichang's idea was very simple. If he couldn't stand it today, he would first follow Lu Chengzhou's wishes and confess.
As long as there is a chance to go out, you can go to Nozaki or even Shigerawa Hidekazu to clear your name.
Zhang Sichang also knew that the letter of thanks he burned was a huge failure.
The punishment I am receiving now is for burning the letter.
Zhang Sichang was put into a car, and Lu Chengzhou drove the car himself. Shinichiro Kaida and Tanaka sat in the car one behind the other.
The car left the British Concession and soon reached the mass graves on the southern outskirts of the city.
"Come on down." Lu Chengzhou said after parking the car.
"Thank you, Director Lu. Where is this?" Zhang Sichang looked around. There were no lights around. With the faint starlight, it seemed that he was in the suburbs.
"This is your final destination." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"What? Director Lu, tell me in good conscience, am I a Communist?" Zhang Sichang showed a miserable smile. He wanted to escape, but now he needed all his strength to even stand firm. Where could he escape?
"I'm not sure, so I suggested that Nakayama Ryoichi take a test. However, he has concluded that you are the Communist Party, and there is nothing I can do." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
"Both Zhongshan and Gaoqiao are afraid of taking responsibility. As a Chinese, I just became the scapegoat." Zhang Sichang's thinking was particularly clear at this time.
He does have a big responsibility for not catching Ma Wenxiang.
However, you can’t entirely blame yourself for this.
Zhang Sichang only provided intelligence, and the subsequent actions, as well as the analysis and judgment of the intelligence, were all made by Takahashi Toyoichi.
If he has responsibilities, Takahashi Toyichi's responsibility is even greater.
Of course, the intelligence may be leaked, and as a Chinese, I will definitely bear all the suspicion.
But Zhang Sichang knew very well that he did not leak information, and he was not the Communist Party.
In other words, it was other people who leaked the intelligence, and the Gendarmerie detachment was hiding the real Communist Party.
And this Communist Party is most likely still hiding in the super class.
"It's good that you know. You won't blame me in the future. After all, I also obey orders." Lu Chengzhou sighed, even if Zhang Sichang was going to be a ghost, he couldn't reveal a word.
"I also know that you can't help yourself." Zhang Sichang sighed.
"Let's go and choose a suitable place for yourself." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Director Lu, can I ask you a favor?" Zhang Sichang suddenly asked.
"Say it." Lu Chengzhou did not refuse.
"Can you buy me a coffin? I don't want to be buried in the wild and end up with no bones left." Zhang Sichang looked around. In a place like this, even the bones may not be left if the corpse is left for two days.
"That's no problem, but you have to pay for the coffin." Lu Chengzhou said simply.
He can be a humanitarian, but he will never spend his own money.
In the final analysis, Zhang Sichang is just a traitor. The best destination for such a person is to die in the wilderness.
"Of course. I own a house at No. 12 Suma Street in the Japanese Concession. The key and deed are placed at the bottom of the drawer in the room behind the Daxing General Store. With this house and a good coffin, there will be no problem."
Zhang Sichang nodded.
He was all alone in Haigu, and when he was about to die, there was no one to collect his body.
At this time, Lu Chengzhou asked him for money for the coffin, didn't he just want to give himself a final blow?
He was very familiar with this kind of routine, and without the money to make Lu Chengzhou fall in love, he wouldn't even think about going to the grave.
"You also own property on Xuma Street?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
But it is normal to think about it. Zhang Sichang has been in Nozaki Mansion for so long, and it is possible to earn some money to buy a house in the Japanese Concession.
"Director Lu, please tell me honestly, do I still have a chance to live?" Zhang Sichang said.
"Well..." Lu Chengzhou was silent.
Even if the Japanese gave him a chance, Lu Chengzhou couldn't give him a chance to live.
However, at this time, stopping to speak could make Zhang Sichang feel infinite hope.
"If I can save a dog's life, Zhang will definitely be richly rewarded." Zhang Sichang looked back at where Shinichiro Kaida and Tanaka were standing. He and Lu Chengzhou had walked dozens of meters. Even if their voices were not loud, they would be heard.
But don't go.
"What kind of generous reward?" Lu Chengzhou took out a cigarette, lit one, took a puff, and handed the cigarette to Zhang Sichang.
"The house on Xuma Street is given to Director Lu. From now on, I can work for Director Lu." Zhang Sichang said firmly.
"It's not necessary to be a bully. By the way, let me ask you something. Is Ma Yuzhen, who saved the National Assembly, a communist?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly asked softly.
"Those who saved the National Assembly are basically Communists." Zhang Sichang was stunned. He didn't know why Lu Chengzhou asked this.
"Have you discovered some secrets of the Japanese since you have been at Nozaki Mansion for so long?" Lu Chengzhou asked again.
"What does Director Lu want to know?" Zhang Sichang's heart moved.
The meaning of Lu Chengzhou's words was not to save himself, but to drain himself dry.
"I want to know everything." Lu Chengzhou had quietly taken out the gun from his waist and secretly turned on the safety.
"Director Lu, I think it's not the Japanese who want to kill me..." Zhang Sichang is also an extremely smart man. He has been thinking about who is the real Communist Party.
"Bang, bang bang."
Lu Chengzhou knew that if he kept talking, Zhang Sichang might have an idea.
No one knows this better than the person involved.
Zhang Sichang was framed. Lu Chengzhou knew this, and so did Zhang Sichang.
If anyone could know that this was his own design, it was Zhang Sichang.
Lu Chengzhou fired three shots in a row, hitting Zhang Sichang's vital part.
After Lu Chengzhou fired, Shinichiro Kaida and Tanaka came over with flashlights.
They inspected Zhang Sichang's wounds and touched his neck. After finding no pulse, they left with Lu Chengzhou.
After returning, Lu Chengzhou got off the car near No. 15, No. 24 Road, and Shinichiro Kaida returned to the military police detachment to report.
"Has it been executed?" Nakayama Ryoichi asked.
The confession from Zhang Sichang on his desk was that this Communist Party member had been secretly in contact with the Communist Party as early as the Nozaki Mansion period.
"Execution, three shots were fired, and the bullet hit the vital part." Shinichiro Kaida said respectfully.
Lu Chengzhou fired decisively. Obviously, he had no intention of showing mercy to the Communist Party.
"Very good. Did they say anything?" Nakayama Ryoichi asked.
"I didn't say anything. It seems that Zhang Sichang wanted to ask Lu Chengzhou to buy him a coffin." Shinichiro Kaida's Chinese is not very good, and when Lu Chengzhou and Zhang Sichang were talking, they were far apart.
Zhang Sichang was executed, and the "Sun-breaking Plan" was successfully completed.
The main reason for getting rid of Zhang Sichang was to eliminate a potential danger for Ma Yuzhen.
Ma Yuzhen wants to date her, but if Zhang Sichang sees her, she will definitely be suspected.
After all, the National Salvation Association held offices at 22 Cumberland Road for a period of time.
Ma Yuzhen was working in the back office at the time, so she would inevitably come into contact with Zhang Sichang.
The next day, after Lu Chengzhou left the police station, he went to Daxing General Store again.
"Mr. Lu, the shopkeeper hasn't come yet today." Zhang Guanglin saw Lu Chengzhou coming in and said quickly when he saw that Lu Chengzhou wanted to go back.
"He will never come again." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
Zhang Guanglin was stunned, what does this mean?
Lu Chengzhou went to the back room and found a key and a house deed at the bottom of the cabinet.
This is the property of the "Communist Party", and it is naturally reasonable to leave it to the underground party in the future.
"Wait a minute, Jin Lianzhen is coming. From now on, this place will be handed over to you. You will be the shopkeeper, and he will be the waiter." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Yes." Zhang Guanglin did not expect that after Zhang Sichang left, he could also be the shopkeeper.
"In the evening, you will also stay at No. 20 Kang Bonan Road and let Jin Lianzhen stay at the hotel." Lu Chengzhou explained again.
Letting Jin Lianzhen live in Daxing General Store was not to reduce his salary, but to create an opportunity for him to contact the military commander.
If Jin Lianzhen lived at No. 20 Cumberland Road, Zeng Zilian would be taking a big risk by contacting him.
However, Jin Lianzhen works as a clerk here, and it is too easy for military commanders to contact him.
Just send someone to the grocery store to buy some things, and the two of you can connect.
Lu Chengzhou personally executed Zhang Sichang last night. Naturally, he had to go to the military police detachment in the morning and report to Zhongshan Liangyi.
"I heard that Zhang Sichang asked you to buy a coffin?" Zhongshan Liangyi asked casually after listening to Lu Chengzhou's report.
"Such a Communist would just leave his body in the wilderness." Lu Chengzhou said nonchalantly.
"Isn't this not good?" Nakayama Ryoichi frowned.
But in his heart, he agreed with Lu Chengzhou's approach.
A qualified agent must be ruthless.
Don't say that Zhang Sichang is an outsider. Even if he is his own relative, as long as he is a member of the Communist Party, he must be ruthless.
"We are incompatible with the Communist Party. It is already good that we did not expose him." Lu Chengzhou said coldly.
Jin Lianzhen had received an order last night and there was no need to monitor Zhang Sichang today.
He resumed his original job, working as an in-house clerk in the Intelligence Room.
"Jin Lianzhen, starting from today, you will work as a waiter in Daxing Daily Grocery Store, and Zhang Guanglin will be the shopkeeper from now on. From now on, you will stay in the grocery store at night." Lu Chengzhou ordered after arriving in the Intelligence Room.
"Yes." Jin Lianzhen was delighted. In the military police unit, it was really inconvenient for him to contact the military commander.
But it will be much more convenient if you go to Daxing General Store and contact Zeng Zilian.
