Although Zeng Zilian and Lu Chengzhou set out at the same place, they left separately.
Naturally, it was different when she got home. Zeng Zilian set off later than Lu Chengzhou, and she specifically asked the rickshaw driver to speed up.
She hoped to arrive home at the same time as Lu Chengzhou.
Regardless of whether this home was their own, at least they lived together and went home to eat together. She had a strange feeling.
Before Lu Chengzhou went back, he first went to Daxing General Store.
The operation at Ma Dafu Hospital failed in the morning, and then Jin Dongzhen died. Li Jiping will definitely pass the news to Daxing General Store in time.
Sure enough, after Lu Chengzhou arrived at the Daxing General Store, Zhang Guanglin immediately reported to him the actions of the Third Intelligence Office.
"Jin Dongzhen is dead?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
"I heard that she was shot four times. The military commander wanted to kill her, but the bullets were all poisoned." Zhang Guanglin said with some gloating.
He didn't know Jin Dongzhen before, but this time, he finally understood who Jin Dongzhen was.
To be honest, Zhang Guanglin did not have a good impression of people like Jin Dongzhen, and when he heard the news of her murder, he felt vaguely happy.
"This is the operation of the Third Intelligence Room. They failed and it is not good for us. Nozaki will definitely be very angry. Don't be ridiculous." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
Lu Chengzhou had been delayed at the Daxing grocery store for so long. When he got home, Zeng Zilian was naturally already there.
Lu Chengzhou walked into the yard and saw a middle-aged man standing in the yard. After Lu Chengzhou came in, he rubbed his hands and smiled shyly at Lu Chengzhou.
"Uncle Ma, why are you free today?" Lu Chengzhou said happily after setting up his bicycle.
It can be seen that Ma Hougu is a bit reserved. Only sincerity from the heart and welcoming him will make him relax.
"Yeah, let's see their mother and daughter next year. Chengzhou, I'm really troubling you during this period." Ma Hougu grew up watching Lu Chengzhou, but in the past few years, the two of them have seen each other less.
Especially after Lu Chengzhou was admitted to the police training institute, he rarely saw Lu Chengzhou.
After Lu Chengzhou graduated and arrived in the British Concession, every time Lu Chengzhou returned to Zhenganli, Ma Hougu was almost never at home.
The two of them, if you really want to count, they haven't seen each other for several years.
Lu Chengzhou has changed a lot in the past few years. He can live in the British Concession, supervise dozens of policemen, and live in such a big house. Before Ma Hougu saw Lu Chengzhou, he was already in awe of him.
heart of.
If he saw Lu Chengzhou in police uniform outside, not only would he not dare to recognize him, he would not even dare to take a second look.
"No trouble, no trouble. I wish Aunt Ma could live here every day. The food she cooks is delicious." Lu Chengzhou took Ma Hougu's hand and invited him in for dinner.
"You're back? Get ready to eat." Zeng Zilian saw Lu Chengzhou with doubts in her eyes. She had been back for half an hour, and he was late.
"Uncle Ma, please take a seat." Lu Chengzhou invited Ma Hougu to the head of the dining table.
"I can just sit here." Mahougu sat down opposite Lu Chengzhou.
"Uncle Ma, why do you have time to come to the British Concession today?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Since Ma Hougu was unwilling, he no longer insisted.
If you are too polite to Ma Hougu, it will make him feel uncomfortable.
"How can he usually have time? The pharmacy is closed and he has nothing to do." Aunt Ma happened to be bringing the food up. When she heard Lu Chengzhou's words, she said from the side.
"Aunt Ma, Uncle Ma is here today, let's eat together today." Lu Chengzhou asked.
"No, you guys eat, I'll just have some in the kitchen later." Aunt Ma refused. She was very accurate about her positioning.
Although she wanted to bring Lu Chengzhou and Ma Yuzhen together, she is just a servant here now.
"Uncle Ma is back, has Aunt Ma returned to the security guard?" Lu Chengzhou said suddenly, with a hint of regret in his tone, but he was relieved in his heart.
If Aunt Ma leaves, Ma Yuzhen won't live here anymore, right?
Lu Chengzhou's identity determines that he may be lonely throughout his life.
When he is with ordinary people, he is worried that he will bring danger to the other person.
With the military police unit, he had to hide his identity as a military commander and an underground party.
When he was with the military commanders, he couldn't let them know that he still had the status of an underground party member.
Even if he is with the underground party, if the other party does not know his identity, he must conceal his identity.
Loyalty to the party is not just a slogan, it must be protected with practical actions and a lifetime to protect the party's secrets.
For intelligence officers, many things must rot in the stomach or be carried into the coffin.
If possible, Lu Chengzhou hopes to live alone.
Of course, living alone for a long time was not good for Lu Chengzhou's status.
A good agent needs to know what can and cannot be done at all times.
As long as you do things that are consistent with your identity, you will not be suspected.
For example, Lu Chengzhou has reached the age of marriage, but he has been living alone; for another example, with his current status, his family has no servants.
If this is the case, he will be easily suspected.
However, Lu Chengzhou felt that Ma Yuzhen's family was not suitable for living at home.
However, Aunt Ma had to move in, and Ma Yuzhen had to be arranged to move in, so he was really worried.
If Aunt Ma was the only one living here, Lu Chengzhou would sincerely welcome her.
But Ma Yuzhen is not suitable. Regardless of whether she knows her identity or not, the two of them should not live together.
"What are you doing back in the police station? Chengzhou, you have many connections in the British Concession. Can you help your Uncle Ma find a job?" Aunt Ma asked.
Originally, Ma Hougu wanted to go back to the police station after taking a look, but she didn't let him.
If Ma Hougu loses his job, his family will have no income. How will he live in the future?
"Didn't Uncle Ma do a good job at the Chinese and Western Pharmacy on Guiyi Street? Why did it close?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Guayi Street is located between the northeast corner of Haigu and Beidaguan, parallel to Beima Road, with a total length of 800 meters.
Best of all, Guiyi Street only has Guiyi shops, hence its name.
After that, it became a distribution center for silks, cottons, leather goods, porcelain, clothing, pen and ink stationery, Chinese medicinal materials and daily commodities in Haigu and even North China.
"The market is sluggish now, especially in our industry." Ma Hougu sighed and said helplessly.
"That's not right, no matter how depressed the market is, people will still get sick, and they have to take medicine when they get sick." Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
"The boss didn't have a good relationship with the people from the Health Bureau, and he offended the new director. He stopped us from doing business for various reasons, so the boss had to close the business," Ma Hougu said with a wry smile.
"Uncle Ma, I don't recommend that you come to the British Concession. Your specialty is medicine. More people in the concession like to see Western medicine." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Then what should we do?" Aunt Ma asked anxiously.
