Chen Bailu initially felt that he could not report Guan Mingpeng's unauthorized departure from the Sakura Hotel.
However, he underestimated Lu Chengzhou.
"Write down the details of the past few days. In addition, every person involved in the operation must also write a self-report." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
There seemed to be no problems with this operation.
But Lu Chengzhou must ensure that there will be no problems with military control.
As for why the Japanese soldiers appeared at Liu Tongyu's house, Lu Chengzhou would naturally find out.
"Is it necessary to go to such trouble?" Zeng Zilian asked in confusion after Chen Bailu left.
"It doesn't matter if it's a little troublesome now. Once the Japanese come to our door, there's no point in thinking about it anymore." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
He did not suspect that there were problems within the army. Basically, the people at Haigu station had just graduated from the training class of Shude Primary School.
They are currently very enthusiastic and loyal to the party and state. Lu Chengzhou has never doubted them.
The reason why he asked everyone to write a self-report was just to know whether they made any technical mistakes during this operation.
"It's so easy for the Japanese to come to your door. You are too worried." Zeng Zilian said disapprovingly.
"You also participated in intelligence reconnaissance. Write your self-report in the afternoon and give it to me in the evening." Lu Chengzhou said.
"I want to write too?" Zeng Zilian said in surprise.
"Of course you can't make an exception. If this matter is not for me to judge, I have to write it." Lu Chengzhou would not go easy on Zeng Zilian just because he believed in her.
Lu Chengzhou said this, so Zeng Zilian naturally had no choice.
While he was already dressed up, Lu Chengzhou went to the city.
Although Lu Chengzhou knew many Japanese, it would always seem awkward to inquire about the situation of the Japanese soldiers in Liu Tongyu's family, no matter what method he used to investigate.
The best way is to let Sun Zhishu find out.
I'm afraid Liu Tongyu also didn't expect that Sun Zhishu would be Lu Chengzhou's insider.
After Lu Chengzhou met Sun Zhishu, he learned that Sun Zhishu had already visited Liu Tongyu's house.
The military commander wanted to take action against Liu Tongyu last night, and Sun Zhishu knew it.
However, no news came, and Sun Zhishu was very surprised.
In the morning, he made a special trip to Liu Tongyu's house.
"Last night, Hidekazu Mokawa came to Liu's house and discussed with him about letting Liu Tongyu go to Xuzhou to take office. The Japanese are preparing to let Liu Tongyu go to Xuzhou to be the mayor." Sun Zhishu said slowly.
"Are there any Japanese soldiers in Liu Tongyu's family?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Judging from Sun Zhishu's introduction, it seems reasonable that Maokawa Hidewa visited Liu Tongyu last night.
But why should two Japanese soldiers be left behind?
These Japanese people are single-minded, and once Shigekawa Hidekazu gives an order, they will faithfully execute it.
"There seem to be two of them, just waiting in the concierge." Sun Zhishu recalled it and quickly remembered it.
"Why did Hidekazu Shikawa leave two Japanese soldiers behind?" Lu Chengzhou asked puzzledly.
"Liu Tongyu said that the Japanese cared about him and sent him specially to protect him." Sun Zhishu was reminded by Lu Cheng on Monday and immediately thought about it.
"As a retired police chief, even if he goes to become mayor of Xuzhou, don't we need to protect him like this? Could it be that the Japanese know about our actions?" Lu Chengzhou murmured.
"Liu Tongyu didn't say anything about this. He probably doesn't know." Sun Zhishu said quickly.
"Just because Liu Tongyu doesn't know, it doesn't mean that the Japanese don't know." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
Although this idea came out of nowhere, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a possibility.
Shigekawa Hidewa didn't come early or late, but he came on the day when the military commander was preparing to take action.
Come when you come, and you even brought the Japanese soldiers with you. When you left, you left the Japanese soldiers behind.
What does this mean? Coincidence?
Lu Chengzhou never believed in so-called coincidences. He believed that all accidents were inevitable.
"How about I try to trick Maochuan Xiuhe?" Sun Zhishu asked.
"No need." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
Who is Hidekazu Shigekawa? Even before the Anti-Japanese War, he was already a well-known spy chief of the Japanese secret service. Sun Zhishu went to get his information, but Hidekazu Shigekawa might have been tricked into him instead.
"I'll ask about Liu Tongyu's situation. Is that okay?" Sun Zhishu said.
The Japanese arranged for Liu Tongyu to go to Xuzhou. He had secretly interacted with Liu Tongyu before.
However, after Pan Jiacai became the mayor, the contacts between him and Liu Tongyu became even less.
If Liu Tongyu really wants to become the mayor of Xuzhou, Sun Zhishu will of course continue to fawn over him.
No matter what, as long as you get promoted, even if you go to Xuzhou, there will always be a time to meet you in the future.
Maybe Liu Tongyu will already be a senior official in Hebei when he comes back.
"That's okay." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
In fact, he already had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Shigekawa Hidekazu would never show up at Liu Tongyu's house for no reason. Shikawa Hidekazu was only a consultant to the Municipal Office, and there was no reason for him to send troops to protect a retiring police chief.
You know, as the Japanese army's front becomes longer and longer, their military strength becomes increasingly stretched.
The great riots in eastern Hebei, central Hebei, and northern Hebei were resisting the Japanese everywhere. The guerrilla warfare launched by the Eighth Route Army overwhelmed the Japanese army.
The Japanese can't wait for every soldier to be sent to the battlefield, and they can't wait for the war with China to end as soon as possible.
However, the Chinese people never thought of stopping their resistance and destroying the Japanese army even if they smashed China to pieces.
Under such circumstances, how could Shigekawa Hidekazu send troops to protect Liu Tongyu?
In fact, Liu Tongyu turned out to be the police chief, and he only needed to send a few police officers to protect him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo, Maochuan Xiuhe will not be suspicious." Sun Zhishu said firmly.
It is reasonable for him to be concerned about Liu Tongyu's whereabouts.
"Please pay attention, do the other people on the assassination list enjoy such treatment?" Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
"I haven't heard anyone say it yet." Sun Zhishu thought for a while and said seriously.
"Check carefully and give me an accurate answer. If someone is also being protected, you need to know when they were sent and how many people there were?" Lu Chengzhou warned.
"That's no problem. Just make a few calls and find out." Sun Zhishu said with a smile.
"It's not enough to make a few phone calls. It's best to talk in person. You may not know that the phone is actually unsafe." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
Sun Zhishu's words made Lu Chengzhou worried.
Shigekawa Hidekazu's behavior gave him the illusion that the Japanese secret service sent troops to protect Liu Tongyu just to prevent the military commander's actions.
In fact, they did achieve their goal.
After Chen Bailu saw that there were Japanese soldiers staying at Liu Tongyu's house, he decisively canceled the operation.
However, why did the Japanese secret service want to stop the military commander's actions? Wouldn't it be better if they knew the military commander's actions and directly set a trap?
