In the morning, on his way to the police station, Lu Chengzhou received a reply from Liu Youjun.
The Military Reunification Council sent someone to remind Tan Tianjun, and at the same time, Liu Youjun told Lu Chengzhou that Yang Yushan would be eliminated tomorrow morning on her way to Changlongsheng.
After receiving Liu Youjun's reply, Lu Chengzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to live in the same room as Yang Yushan.
Every night, Lu Chengzhou always couldn't sleep well just thinking about Yang Yushan living downstairs.
So far, Lu Chengzhou has not asked why she defected from the military.
As an intelligence officer, if you don't have a special relationship with Yang Yushan, you won't ask easily.
Even though Lu Chengzhou was Yang Yushan's boss, she was directly contacted by Zhongshan Liangyi.
Yang Yushan seems to be a back-office member of the Intelligence Office, but in fact, she often reports directly to Nakayama Liangyi.
Lu Chengzhou believed that Yang Yushan also had other tasks.
No matter what, it will all end tomorrow.
Lu Chengzhou first went to the police station, changed into his police uniform, and asked Liu Lifeng for instructions.
Above Lu Chengzhou, although there was a regular inspector named Starkley, he was British.
All Chinese inspectors are still accustomed to reporting to Liu Lifeng.
Starkley rarely interfered with the work of the inspector. As long as nothing happened below, he was happy to do nothing every day.
Liu Lifeng told Lu Chengzhou that the police station had received news that the Japanese wanted to harm Tan Tianjun and asked him to pay attention to the movements of the military police unit.
"Virgo, no matter how courageous the Japanese are, they would not dare to openly kill people in the British Concession." Lu Chengzhou looked surprised.
"What can't the Japanese do?" Liu Lifeng said with a sneer.
Other foreigners always have a bottom line when doing things.
Only the Japanese were worse than animals, and he was really worried about Tan Tianjun's safety.
The Japanese-British Concession Gendarmerie detachment was in Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction. If the Japanese took action, Lu Chengzhou would have heard about it.
"I will pay attention to the military police detachment." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"The police department has assigned Mr. Tan a car and a police officer to take him to and from get off work." Liu Lifeng was full of worry.
As the deputy commissioner of the police force, that's all he can do.
Tan Tianjun's attitude towards the Japanese is indeed applaudable.
However, the disaster he has to endure can also be seen.
Perhaps Tan Tianjun would be killed because of these two rejections.
"I will send people to strengthen surveillance of the Japanese military police detachment." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
From the bottom of his heart, he certainly didn't want anything to happen to Tan Tianjun.
"We must monitor him closely." Liu Lifeng glanced at Lu Chengzhou and said slowly.
The military police unit was on Kang Bonan Road, and that was Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction. He was very worried that if the Japanese wanted to gain a foothold in the British Concession, would they bribe Lu Chengzhou?
"Please rest assured, Virtue, in the next few days, I will arrange patrols from other streets to come and help." Lu Chengzhou said immediately.
He suddenly thought of Route 24. Tomorrow was the day for the military reunification operation. Transferring a few people from Route 24 to the vicinity of No. 22 Kang Bo South Road would definitely be beneficial to the military reunification operation.
After returning to the office, Lu Chengzhou held a meeting with Jia Ming.
After arranging the day's work, prepare to go out for inspection.
Whether he was a deputy inspector or an inspector, Lu Chengzhou never relaxed when it came to inspections.
Because there will be an action tomorrow for the military reunification, Lu Chengzhou specifically told Han Fushan, the inspector of Route 24, and Wang Siguang of Kang Bonan Road to strengthen the surveillance of No. 22, Kang Bonan Road, starting today.
"It's enough for me to patrol the seats and monitor Changlongsheng. Why bother with Inspector Han?" Wang Siguang said dissatisfied.
He has twelve policemen under his command, who are able to keep Chang Longsheng under surveillance.
"The Japanese are very evil, so you don't need to worry about other matters on Cumberland Road? Starting from today, four police officers will be sent to Cumberland Road for the other five streets every day." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
Although he personally arranged to monitor the military police unit, the original interrogation of Wen Jianmin in the morning could only be postponed.
He first went to Daxing General Store and asked Zhang Guanglin to report his layout to Zhongshan Liangyi.
The military police detachment was surrounded by Lu Chengzhou's people. As an inspector, he could not join the military police detachment.
"Where is Jin Lianzhen?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly discovered that Jin Lianzhen did not appear at the grocery store.
"He was called to Changlongsheng early in the morning." Zhang Guanglin said.
Jin Lianzhen stayed at the Daxing General Store at night. However, as soon as he arrived today, he received a call from Yang Yushan, informing Jin Lianzhen to go to the military police detachment.
"It seems it's still Wen Jianmin's business." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
Wen Jianmin's operation failed, and the Japanese asked him to take responsibility. Wen Jianmin will definitely be suspicious of everyone.
As a person with direct contact with Wan Guoxing, Jin Lianzhen is naturally also suspected.
Since Wen Jianmin was to be interrogated, it was only right that Jin Lianzhen cooperate with the investigation.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know about the military commander's actions tomorrow. He just reported the intelligence he collected to Liu Youjun.
After dark, the patrol around No. 22 Cumberland Road dispersed.
Sending patrols outside the gendarmerie unit has no practical significance.
But this can show the attitude of the police department and allow the gendarmerie detachment to take action.
When Lu Chengzhou saw Wen Jianmin, he was already hanging in the center of the torture room.
Like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, the lower jaw was hung up on a hook.
"Director Lu, since you didn't come today, I'll do it for you." Takahashi Toyichi said coldly when he saw Lu Chengzhou.
"Squad leader Gao Qiao, isn't this too cruel? After all, Wen Jianmin is still the deputy director of the Intelligence Office." Lu Chengzhou frowned.
Wen Jianmin, who was hanging on the iron hook, burst into tears when he heard Lu Chengzhou's words.
If Lu Chengzhou had come to the military police unit earlier, he would not have been beaten by the Japanese.
Of course, if Wen Jianmin knew that it was Lu Chengzhou who proposed the torture, he might not think so.
"He is an accomplice of the Communist Party, how can we be merciful to him?" Yutaka Takahashi said expressionlessly.
Takahashi Toyichi felt that he would rather kill the Chinese by mistake than let them go.
There are thousands of people who want to be traitors. Regardless of whether Wen Jianmin is a Communist or an accomplice of the Communists, it is always right to kill him to serve as a warning to others.
"I want to talk to him. Extorting confessions through torture may allow the real Communist Party to slip through the net." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
Takahashi Toyichi said nothing, waved his hand, and went out with the two torture policemen.
Lu Chengzhou found the rope of the iron hook, untied the knot, and let Wen Jianmin down.
"Woooooooo..."
After Wen Jianmin sat on the ground, he cried sadly.
He never imagined that his loyalty to the Japanese would end up like this.
This morning, Takahashi Toyichi and two Japanese military police took him to the torture room and tortured him without explanation.
How has Wen Jianmin suffered such injuries since he was born? He has fainted three times today.
However, no matter how much torture Takahashi Toyichi used, he just refused to admit that he was an accomplice of the Communist Party, let alone that he was a Communist Party member.
Wen Jianmin knew very well that as long as he admitted it, although he could relieve the temporary pain, he would not be able to survive in the future.
If he insists on refusing to admit it, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
What Lu Chengzhou said just now gave Wen Jianmin hope.
He believed that Lu Chengzhou was still fair and could definitely help him clear his grievances.
"When things have reached this point, you should also know that if you don't explain clearly, you can't get out. Today, you are still the deputy director of the Intelligence Office, but you may not be the same tomorrow." Lu Chengzhou lit a cigarette and originally wanted to hand it over.
I gave Wen Jianmin one, but judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to smoke it.
"Director Lu, I have nothing to do with the Communist Party. That letter can only show that they want to frame me." Wen Jianmin said firmly.
"Why don't they frame others, but they must frame you? Have you ever thought about the reason?" Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"It is precisely because I arrested Wan Guoxing twice that the Communist Party wanted to kill me." Wen Jianmin recalled the entire process after being imprisoned in the cellar.
The reason why he was able to join the military police unit was because he assisted the military police unit in capturing Wan Guoxing.
However, Wan Guoxing escaped from his hands again.
Originally, this could only be regarded as dereliction of duty and had nothing to do with the Communist Party.
However, Wan Guoxing's letter of thanks pushed him to a desperate situation.
The Japanese originally suspected that someone secretly helped Wan Guoxing escape.
This letter made them believe that they were fellow members of the Communist Party.
"This is not the reason for the Communist Party to frame you. They can't know it. You are responsible." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
"That's why I suspect that Jin Lianzhen and Ning Ming, and even Zhao Bin and Li Jiping, are also possible." Wen Jianmin now feels that anyone except him may be an accomplice of the Communist Party.
He even suspected Lu Chengzhou.
However, Lu Chengzhou's explanation yesterday gave him no reason to doubt.
"You should take a rest first and drink some water. The Japanese will definitely not let you go next." Lu Chengzhou poured a glass of water for Wen Jianmin.
For Wen Jianmin, a glass of water is like wine.
Lu Chengzhou then went to Zhongshan Liangyi's office. As soon as he walked to the door, he happened to see Yang Yushan coming out of it.
"Director, you are here." Yang Yushan pushed her hair behind her ears and said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Zhongshan is here, right?" Lu Chengzhou glanced at Yang Yushan. The military command will take action tomorrow. Today is Yang Yushan's last day at work in the military police unit.
"Yes, please." Yang Yushan quickly stepped aside and asked Lu Chengzhou to come in.
"Captain Zhongshan, Wen Jianmin is very stubborn and firmly refuses to admit that he is an accomplice of the Communist Party, let alone the Communist Party." Lu Chengzhou said regretfully.
"Which Communist Party will admit that it is a Communist Party when it comes in?" Nakayama Ryoichi said disapprovingly.
He read the letter from Wan Guoxing very clearly.
If Wen Jianmin was weak and would do anything when tortured, he would believe Wen Jianmin's words.
However, Wen Jianmin firmly refused to admit it, and Nakayama Liangyi believed that he was an accomplice of the Communist Party.
Only the Communist Party can withstand such severe torture.
"Could it be that we made a mistake?" Lu Chengzhou asked tentatively.
