Ningyuan is located in a relatively remote location, but it has mountains and water, and a large space for activities, making it easy to hide and dodge.
The lakeshore, mountains, pavilions and teahouses in Ningyuan are all good places to connect.
If Lu Chengzhou and Li Xiangxue meet in Ningyuan, the chance of being discovered is very low.
Lu Chengzhou and Li Xiangxue have a special relationship. Even if their contact is noticed, it is nothing.
After all, the military commander also gave Lu Chengzhou an order to pay close attention to news about the Communist Party.
Even if Li Xiangxue's identity is exposed, he can still justify himself.
Lu Chengzhou originally thought that as the first gunner of the military commander, even if Gu Richang's whereabouts were exposed, he could guarantee his safety.
However, Lu Chengzhou received news the next day that he would no longer participate in the operation and only needed to provide certain guarantees.
"Brother Jun, what's going on?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise.
"This is Shangfeng's care for you. This matter will be carried out by cooperation between Beiping Station and Haigu. Beiping Station will provide operational personnel. We just need to cooperate." Liu Youjun said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou's identity is very important, and Nanjing issued an order that Gu Richang must die.
There is an action team at Peiping Station, and station chief Chen Shugong will personally come to Haigu to carry out the task of assassinating Gu Richang.
"How do you need my cooperation?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"If personnel at Peiping Station are in trouble entering or leaving the British Concession, you need to come forward. In addition, if Gu Richang sneaks into the British Concession, you should report it as soon as possible." Liu Youjun said.
The reason for the above adjustments is not entirely out of concern for Lu Chengzhou.
Gu Richang's behavior had made the old man extremely angry, and he issued an order to the military commander that Gu Richang must die.
Letting Lu Chengzhou move from the front desk to behind the scenes is just to be more secure.
Lu Chengzhou's shooting results are indeed excellent, but target shooting and hitting people are two different things.
Once Lu Chengzhou fails, he will have to wait for the next opportunity if he wants to get rid of Gu Richang.
"No problem." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"In addition, you don't need to report this matter to the Japanese in detail. Just tell Nozaki that your mission has changed." Liu Youjun warned.
"Okay." Lu Chengzhou nodded.
Although he is not responsible for carrying out the assassination mission, as long as he can participate in the operation, he can keep track of the progress.
In the evening, Lu Chengzhou met Li Xiangxue in Ningyuan. The two talked while walking. They also used some code words between them. Even if someone occasionally heard them, there would be no problem.
"I am no longer responsible for Mr. Ji's affairs," Lu Chengzhou said.
When he met Li Xiangxue in Ningyuan, he also had to put on makeup. In addition to the dentures, his walking posture was also deliberately changed.
Wearing dentures, Lu Chengzhou's speaking voice was different from usual. In addition, the sky was dark, so even if he met an acquaintance, he might not recognize him.
"It seems they are determined to win." Li Xiangxue sighed.
He met Lu Chengzhou in Ningyuan, and he also put on makeup. The biggest change was that he tied something around his stomach. He looked like he had gained weight, and his whole person was completely different.
"They can get information, indicating that someone on the delivery side or the terminal has leaked the information. Now this batch of goods has come into their sight, and they can only think of other ways, otherwise Mr. Ji will be in danger." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
.
"Mr. Ji has a stubborn personality. How difficult is it to get him to change his mind?" Li Xiangxue sighed.
"Are we not doing anything and just watching?" Lu Chengzhou said dissatisfied.
Li Xiangxue said nothing. At present, there is really no feasible solution in terms of organization.
After Lu Chengzhou returned to the British Concession, he did not go back to his dormitory. Instead, he went to Sun's house at No. 12, No. 24 Road.
Sun Zhuling was also surprised to learn that Lu Chengzhou came to visit.
But the visitor was a guest, so he still asked the butler to invite Lu Chengzhou to the study.
"It is heard that a gangster has recently arrived in the concession. Mr. Sun must do a good job in preventing theft. If you need help from the police, you can send someone over at any time." Lu Chengzhou said seriously.
Although he came to ask questions, he didn't want Sun Zhuling to feel it.
"Thank you, Inspector Lu." Sun Zhuling was somewhat moved.
Just now he was still doubting whether Lu Chengzhou had any purpose.
Now it seems that Lu Chengzhou made a special visit to remind himself to guard against theft.
"Your home is under my jurisdiction. If it is stolen, I will be responsible." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
The big thief Lu Chengzhou said did not deceive Sun Zhuling. According to estimates, Wang Huzi, who lives in seclusion in Hangzhou, should be in Haigu soon.
Out of politeness, Sun Zhuling asked about Lu Chengzhou's daily life, such as where he was from and where he graduated.
Naturally, Lu Chengzhou would not hide anything and truthfully told Sun Zhuling about his situation.
Sun Zhuling was a little surprised to learn that Lu Chengzhou could speak English.
There are not many patrol officers in the police force who can understand English, and very few of them can speak English.
At the moment, Sun Zhuling communicated with Lu Chengzhou in English. He was the comprador of Jardine Matheson, so he was naturally proficient in English.
During this exchange, Sun Zhuling discovered that Lu Chengzhou really did not tell lies and his English proficiency was very high.
Sun Zhuling asked about Lu Chengzhou's situation, and Lu Chengzhou also asked about Sun Zhuling's work in English.
Especially regarding the ordering and inventory situation, I asked them carefully.
"As a patrol officer, you have to know a little bit about everything. If you encounter something in the future, you won't panic." Lu Chengzhou found a suitable reason for himself.
"It's okay, I'm very willing to chat with you." Sun Zhuling smiled and said.
Chatting with a Chinese person in English is definitely a very high-end behavior.
Lu Chengzhou had previously rejected his "thank you", which left a deep impression on Sun Zhuling.
Today, he discovered that Lu Chengzhou could speak Japanese and English, which surprised him even more.
Sun Zhuling believed that Lu Chengzhou stopped working as a patrol officer and went to work at Jardine Matheson. Ten years later, he might take over his position.
Lu Chengzhou had fruitful exchanges with Sun Zhuling.
Sun Zhuling talked about the business procedures of Yihe Matheson, especially the rules for transporting goods. Lu Chengzhou discovered from it a way to help Gu Richang solve the problem.
Gu Richang did not need to come to Haigu. He only needed to send two telegrams and entrust a foreign bank to collect his goods. When the time came, Gu Richang would send someone else to pick up the goods, and he only needed to pay the foreign bank some related fees.
Of course, this foreign company must be strong.
After Lu Chengzhou returned to his dormitory, he thought about it in his mind again. Apart from paying a small commission, Gu Richang really didn't need to come to Haigu.
When Lu Chengzhou was about to report the matter to Li Xiangxue the next day, he suddenly heard the news that a theft had occurred on Zhong Street last night.
The owner lived on the top floor of a sixth-floor building and lost a lot of valuables in his home. When he woke up in the morning, he discovered that his home had been stolen.
Lu Chengzhou had met one of Wang Huzi's disciples in Nanjing and knew their methods of committing crimes, so he rushed over there.
However, when he arrived at the scene of the crime, he was blocked outside.
