In the evening, when Lu Chengzhou went to the military police unit, Tao Jie took the initiative to go to his office.
"The presence of Director Tao has brightened up the entire room," Lu Chengzhou said jokingly.
But in his heart, he was doubting Tao Jie's real intention of coming to find him.
Previously, Tao Jie arranged for Wu Wei to monitor Songshouli. After being noticed by Lu Chengzhou, he took the initiative to expose Songshouli Aier Apartment 204.
In order to capture Zeng Zilian, Tao Jie personally led the team, but he still failed.
In 204, apart from finding the code book behind the wall clock, Zeng Zilian was not captured.
Even the code book only translated two telegrams, and then became just a decoration.
"Director Lu was joking. I wonder if there is anything discovered in the first room?" Tao Jie came to find Lu Chengzhou for no other reason than to know about Yu Jinshi.
Although Tao Jie did not admit it, he knew that Lu Chengzhou had great advantages in the British Concession.
Even though Tao Jie has officially developed Lin Yi, Lin Yi is not a professional agent after all.
Lu Chengzhou had secretly served the Japanese secret service a few years ago. He had established an intelligence network in the British Concession.
On the surface, Lu Chengzhou is an inspector of the police department, and his subordinates in his jurisdiction can collect intelligence for him.
At the same time, Lu Chengzhou also asked the rickshaw driver to provide him with information.
Don't underestimate these coachmen. Lu Chengzhou can basically grasp the dynamics of the British Concession.
The Intelligence Room has not cracked any big cases, but the Intelligence Room will have an intelligence summary every day.
As time goes by, the Intelligence Room continues to provide all kinds of information.
"What did you find?" Lu Chengzhou pretended not to know.
"Yu Jinshi, it's impossible for him to disappear out of thin air." Tao Jie said firmly.
"Nothing has been found yet. Why, is there anything found in the third room?" Lu Chengzhou asked in return.
When Nozaki held a meeting, Tao Jie and him were both competing for this task.
In the end, Nozaki decided that whoever finds Yu Jinshi will get the credit.
"Not yet. Director Lu, Mr. Tao has an unkind request, I don't know whether to say it or not." Tao Jie said hesitantly.
"Isn't it just a reward of a few hundred? The third family has a lot of money, will they care about this little money?" Lu Chengzhou smiled.
"No, if Room 1 finds Yu Jinshi, can you do Tao a favor? Of course, the brothers in Room 1 will not let their work go in vain. Each of them will receive a hundred silver coupons, and they will also prepare for Director Lu in the British Concession.
Apartment." Tao Jie said slowly.
"Director Tao has invested so much money. It seems that this matter is not simple." Lu Chengzhou said noncommittally.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell Director Lu directly. Haven't I been investigating the Yan Shuxun case? The Yan family was responsible for the salt administration during the Beiyang period. The family's house covers an area of dozens of acres, with hundreds of servants and countless properties."
Tao Jie's eyes sparkled when he talked about Yan Shuxun's family's property.
"So?" Lu Chengzhou understood what Tao Jie meant.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of handling Yan Shuxun's case, Tao Jie wanted to embezzle the property of Yan Shuxun's family.
This kind of thing is really too common.
After Yan Shuxun's death, if the Japanese abandon the Yan family, no matter how much wealth the Yan family has, it will soon be occupied.
This is a world where the jungle prevails. Why do so many people rush to become traitors? Isn’t it just to get more benefits?
As soon as the Japanese army occupied Haigu, Yan Shuxun jumped out, also wanting to preserve the Yan family's wealth.
"The murder of Yan Shuxun must be the result of internal and external collusion. If we find Yu Jinshi, we may find the answer." Tao Jie said slowly.
He now urgently needs a military commander to come forward to testify. Even someone related to the military commander can help him obtain the Yan family's property.
Anyone who dares to stop Yan Shuxun's true relatives will be arrested in the name of anti-Japanese elements.
If Yu Jinshi is alive, we can cooperate with him.
If Yu Jinshi is unwilling to cooperate, he can be turned into a corpse.
It would have been easier if Yu Jinshi was dead.
In front of such a huge amount of property, Tao Jie will remove anyone who blocks the way without hesitation.
"Without Yu Jinshi, we can still investigate the traitors in the Yan family." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"When I work, I don't like people gossiping." Tao Jie said with a shameless smile.
This is what he is doing now, arresting people from the Yan family on the pretext of looking for thieves in the Yan family.
However, without any evidence, I am always worried about those people making trouble.
If someone from the military command identified someone from the Yan family as involved in the assassination of Yan Shuxun, the next thing would be much easier.
"The house I live in now is not bad. It's just that the weather is getting colder and it's really inconvenient to travel without a car." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"The car thing is easy to handle. As long as it's done, anything can be said." Tao Jie said happily after understanding what Lu Chengzhou meant.
After Tao Jie left, Lu Chengzhou immediately went to Nozaki's office and told him about Tao Jie's request.
"Mr. Nozaki, if Tao Jie is just for his own selfish desires, that's okay. I'm worried that he will use this cover to do something behind his back." Lu Chengzhou betrayed Tao Jie without any guilt.
In front of the Japanese, he has always behaved very loyally.
If he didn't report Tao Jie's matter immediately, it would make people suspicious.
The Yan family's property is truly coveted.
After all, Yan Shuxun served as the Salt Supervisor during his time in Beiyang.
This is the most fertile position in the world. After decades of accumulation, the Yan family dare not say that they are the richest people in Haigu, but they are at least one of the few wealthy households in Haigu.
With Tao Jie's ability, it is actually unrealistic to imagine that the Yan family can dominate the world.
After all, Tao Jie is just the director of the third intelligence room of the military police unit, and his hands cannot be stretched so long.
If he tried to force his hand, the most likely outcome would be that his hand would be chopped off.
"What could he do?" Nozaki said slowly.
"The people in the Third Intelligence Room are all former military commanders. Yan Shuxun is also responsible for the cases of Guan Mingpeng and Yan Shuxun. However, there has been no progress in these two cases since Tao Jie took over." Lu Chengzhou took the opportunity to say.
What he said was not an exaggeration, it was just a statement of facts.
"Lu Jun, I don't like to beat around the bush, I hope you can speak frankly." Nozaki frowned.
"I think Yan Shuxun's attempt to gain Yan family property may not be successful. And he has an ulterior motive in wanting to contact Yu Jinshi in advance." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
Lu Chengzhou's words made Nozaki fall into deep thought.
Tao Jie wanted to seize the Yan family's property, but he didn't know about it before.
He hated this kind of self-interested behavior the most.
Lu Chengzhou's words pointed out that Tao Jie was probably a hostile element.
Regardless of whether Lu Chengzhou's inference was correct or not, Nozaki felt that Lu Chengzhou's attitude was very sincere and he was very loyal to the imperial army.
"Don't make this matter public and pay close attention to the development of the situation." Nozaki warned.
"Hi." Lu Chengzhou responded.
This report did not convince Nozaki that Tao Jie was an anti-Japanese element.
However, in Nozaki's heart, Tao Jie must have doubts.
