In October 1934, the Chinese Garrison Command in Japan formulated the "Economic Survey Plan and Essentials of Important Resources in North China" and clearly proposed a plan to investigate and develop North China's resources.
On December 7, officials from the three Japanese provinces of the army, navy, and foreign affairs negotiated and formulated the "Document on China Policy," which determined Japan's goal for North China so that the Nanjing regime's decrees could not be implemented in North China.
The five provinces in North China are either independent or autonomous, or they can establish autonomous zones with Hebei Province as the center, or they can establish outside central demobilization areas.
That month, the Japanese Kwantung Army requested the Chairman of Chahar Province and the 29th Army garrison to retreat within the Great Wall on the grounds that the eastern part of Guyuan County and the area outside the Great Wall should belong to Fengning County of Rehe Province.
But Commander Song ignored Japan's unreasonable demands.
On New Year's Day in 1935, ordinary people in Haigu were busy with their lives.
They don't know that Japan's iron hooves may step into Haigu at any time.
The worried Lu Chengzhou was always paying attention to the development of the situation.
Although he joined the Japanese secret service, Lu Chengzhou often maintained contact with Kawasaki Hiroshi through his status as the executive director of the Police Training Institute Alumni Association.
In the past, Lu Chengzhou only felt that Japan was eyeing North China, but now it seems that the wolf is really coming.
"Kawasaki Hiro took a few days off, do you know where he is going?" Li Xiangxue asked about this matter after seeing Lu Chengzhou.
"He mentioned to me that he was going to Dalian," Lu Chengzhou said.
As a staff officer of the garrison, Hiroshi Kawasaki could learn a lot of useful information from his words.
"Chief of Staff of the Garrison Army Takashi Sakai, Shenyang Secret Service Chief Doihara Kenji, and Kwantung Army Deputy Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki all went to Dalian. These people gathered together with only one purpose, seeking autonomy in North China and controlling the five provinces of North China." Li Xiangxue
Speak slowly.
From January 4 to 5, 1935, the Japanese Kwantung Army held the Dalian Conference in Dalian and decided to build an honest regime in North China that could "faithfully implement Japan's requirements."
"Always try to solve the entire problem, and before reaching the final goal, use circumstantial methods to move forward step by step."
Various signs indicate that the Japanese army will cause trouble again in North China and force the Nanjing government to make concessions in order to achieve their goal of controlling North China and seeking autonomy or independence for North China.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiaoxiang, the commander of the Haigu Station of the Military Command, died alone at home.
By the time Lu Chengzhou received the news and rushed to No. 32 Edinburgh Road, Wang Xiaoxiang had already been pronounced dead.
Wen Xiufeng was still in charge of the case, but Lu Chengzhou did not get involved anymore. He only met with Liu Youjun in the afternoon to learn more about the situation.
"The webmaster probably died of accidental poisoning." Liu Youjun sighed.
It is really strange that the dignified commander of the Haigu Station of the Military Command died at home instead of on the battlefield fighting the enemy.
"Who poisoned me?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise.
The bottles in Wang Xiaoxiang's clinic room suddenly appeared in his mind, and they left a deep impression on him at that time.
However, at this time, Lu Chengzhou felt that the Japanese might have done it.
Although Lu Chengzhou did not tell Nozaki where Wang Xiaoxiang lived, it was not difficult for the Japanese to find the office address of the Haigu Station of Juntong.
"It is very likely that he died of poisoning due to the test drug." Liu Youjun said regretfully.
Wang Xiaoxiang has a hobby, which is "testing medicine".
He often experiments on himself alone, sometimes taking medicine and sometimes giving injections.
Liu Youjun once persuaded him that this was very risky, but Wang Xiaoxiang took it calmly and continued to go his own way and experiment as before.
In addition to shooting and using knives, poisoning is also one of the methods used by the military to eliminate traitors.
Therefore, a military agent once jokingly asked him if he could find a poison that was odorless, colorless and tasteless, and could kill people invisible even if it was soluble in trace amounts of water.
It's the kind that you can just put a little into soup, tea, etc. It will dissolve immediately without leaving any residue. Drinking it will make your hair curl up immediately.
As a result, Wang Xiaoxiang said seriously that there was, and even found a rabbit to demonstrate the experiment to everyone.
"The webmaster is proficient in medicine. Even if he tests medicine, he will not risk his life. Could it be that he is being framed?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Isn't this case handed over to the detective unit? If you have a chance, go and investigate." Liu Youjun said.
After Wang Xiaoxiang's death, he, the secretary, was under great pressure. How could he report to the headquarters? If Lu Chengzhou could really find clues, it would be easier to report.
"The stationmaster died for the revolution. From now on, at Haigu Station, will Brother Youjun be in charge of the work?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"We have to wait for notification from the headquarters." Liu Youjun shook his head gently.
Ordinarily, with his ability, it would be no problem to serve as the chief of Haigu Station.
But Liu Youjun's qualifications are too low. Although Haigu currently only has one intelligence team and one military intelligence team, they may not all listen to him.
Soon, a telegram was sent from Nanjing, and Haigu Station was commanded and supervised by Chen Shugong, the station director of Peiping Station, and its personnel funds were also transferred to Beiping Station.
Except for the intelligence team under the Haigu Station, the military intelligence team and two direct staff members were also assigned to the Peiping Station for temporary contact, the rest of the personnel were directly led by the Nanjing Bureau Headquarters.
Lu Chengzhou was naturally under the direct leadership of the Nanjing Bureau Headquarters, while Liu Youjun, as before, not only accepted the command of the Peiping Station, but also reported to Nanjing.
At the same time, Liu Youjun was also Lu Chengzhou's only liaison.
After receiving the notice, Lu Chengzhou was also very surprised. He lost contact with Haigu Station because of this.
After Lu Chengzhou reported this matter to Nozaki, he received great praise.
"Lu Sang, you are not under the command of Haigu Station because the Nanjing headquarters feels that you play a great role. Don't worry, after Haigu Station has an official station commander in the future, your affiliation will still be transferred back. Nanjing is like this
I did it just to protect you." Nozaki said comfortingly.
"Mr. Nozaki, is Wang Xiaoxiang's death our masterpiece?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Through secret investigation, Lu Chengzhou learned that the vials at Wang Xiaoxiang Clinic and the residues in the syringes were toxic.
Was Wang Zixiang's death an accidental mistake when he prepared and tested his own poison? Or was he framed?
If you ask Nozaki this question, you may be able to know the answer.
"I also want to say that it was us, but in fact, it was not." Nozaki said regretfully.
"Without the constraints of Haigu Station, it is easier for me to collect intelligence." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
"During this period, the main thing is to pay attention to economic matters. You have to make friends, especially those compradors and business owners in the British Concession. You have to find ways to get their supply, purchase volume, and transaction volume." Nozaki
He warned.
"I will pay attention." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"In addition, Japan will take a series of actions recently. You have to pay attention to the reaction of the British." Nozaki added.
