In the afternoon, after Lu Chengzhou reported Yan Cheng's matter to Nozaki, he went to the car dealer to pick up the car.
This is a boxy Ford car with a market value of three thousand silver dollars.
The new car was very stylish. Lu Chengzhou liked it very much. He picked up the car and filled it with gas before driving it home.
Although there is a courtyard at No. 15, No. 24 Road, there are steps at the door and cars cannot drive in.
For convenience, it is necessary to change the door.
Lu Chengzhou didn't want to park the car at the door and then walk back.
Although there are only a few steps, sometimes it is not so convenient when you need to bring something important.
In the end, Lu Chengzhou discussed with the landlord to change the back door so that the car could drive directly into the back yard.
Although coming out from the back is not so face-saving, it is more suitable for Lu Chengzhou.
There were quite a few of these Ford cars in the British Concession, at least hundreds, not to mention thousands.
For Lu Chengzhou, although the car is convenient, it also has a fatal flaw: it is too ostentatious.
After the license plate is registered, as long as others see his license plate, they will know that it is his car.
Therefore, Lu Chengzhou felt that it was necessary for him to get more license plates.
When acting as an inspector, you can use one license plate, and when acting as the director of the First Intelligence Office, you can use another license plate.
If you are a match or an ant, you have to get a new license plate.
Fortunately, it was very easy for Lu Chengzhou to do this.
However, some license plates cannot be applied for in his name.
When he was about to get off work, Lu Chengzhou asked Shen Zhuguang out again as a match.
Shen Zhuguang and Yan Shuxun had a good relationship before. At least on the surface, the two families were very close.
The first time Yan Shuxun faked his death, he hid in Shen Zhuguang's house.
Afterwards, Shen Zhuguang took the initiative to leak Yan Shuxun's whereabouts in order to save his life.
But this matter is a secret. Except for a few people such as Lu Chengzhou, no one knows about it.
"Mr. Huo, Tao Jie of the British Concession Military Police detachment arrested Yan Cheng and suspected that he had collaborated with the military commander to murder Yan Shuxun." Shen Zhuguang said immediately after seeing Lu Chengzhou.
After receiving Lu Chengzhou's order, Shen Zhuguang quickly intervened in the Yan family's affairs.
Yan Cheng was arrested, and everyone in the Yan family was in panic.
If Yan Cheng is a member of the military reunification, wouldn't the Yan family become the headquarters of the military reunification?
"How do people in the Yan family view this matter?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"They don't believe that Yan Cheng will cooperate with the military, because Yan Cheng is loyal to Yan Shuxun." Shen Zhuguang said firmly.
"Are you sure you will get the Yan family's property?" Lu Chengzhou asked bluntly.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Tao Jie for this. Yan Cheng is not here, and Yan Mengshi and Yan Zhongqun are helpless. If you have anything, come and ask me." A smile appeared on Shen Zhuguang's face.
It would be too easy to get the Yan family's property if Yan Cheng was not around.
Even though the Yan family has factories, shops, bank deposits, and fertile land, as long as they want to take it, they can quickly change hands.
In fact, Yan Mengshi and Yan Zhongqun may not have enough to eat for the rest of their lives and rely on begging for a living.
"We need to get Yan Cheng out first." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"What else can we do if we get Yan Cheng out?" Shen Zhuguang said in surprise.
"Yan Cheng was tortured in the Garden Gendarmerie. He was tortured to a state of disgrace. Even if he was rescued, his body would probably collapse." Lu Chengzhou said meaningfully.
If Yan Cheng's body has collapsed after being rescued, he naturally cannot interfere with Shen Zhuguang's affairs.
Moreover, after Yan Cheng comes out, the people of the Yan family can see Shen Zhuguang's sincerity.
"Okay, I'll go find Pan Jiacai tomorrow." Shen Zhuguang nodded.
Previously, he united with several people to protest to the Japanese Army's secret service in Haigu, but this was only a superficial matter.
Once Yan Shuxun dies, who will care about what happens after him?
"If Yan Cheng stays in the gendarmerie for another two days, I'm afraid even if he is rescued, there will be no way to save him." Lu Chengzhou sighed and said.
If you are just being tortured, you will be sent to the hospital for treatment after you come out.
But the water in the gendarmerie's water cell stinks.
If a normal person soaks in it, his body will collapse within a few days, let alone an injured person.
Shen Zhuguang understood what Lu Chengzhou said.
Even if he could rescue Yan Cheng immediately, it would still take a few days.
Lu Chengzhou said it would take two days, so why not wait three to five days.
Tao Jie also hopes that the Yan family will not make too much trouble for the time being.
He gave Yan Cheng "good words to persuade" and gave Yan Cheng advice, asking him to find Lu Chengzhou as a middleman and come to the gendarmerie to negotiate an agreement.
Yan Cheng was not familiar with Lu Chengzhou, so he could only find someone else.
After Lu Chengzhou returned to the military police unit at night, he met Tao Jie and found out that he had found such a job for him.
"Director Tao, it is inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the Third Intelligence Room." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
"They don't know Director Lu's true identity. Besides, I won't treat Director Lu badly in this matter. Have you picked up the new car? You will have to refuel in the future, which is also a lot of expense." Tao Jie persuaded.
As Inspector Lu Chengzhou, it is indeed very suitable to be this middleman.
The most important thing is that the gendarmerie unit is in his jurisdiction, so Lu Chengzhou must show some respect when he comes forward.
"Okay, I wonder what Director Tao thinks?" Lu Chengzhou understood what Tao Jie meant. He specifically mentioned "new car", wasn't it just to remind himself that he should do something more for him.
"If Yan Cheng wants to go out, he must give him money, no less than 20,000 yuan." Tao Jie held out two fingers.
He tried his best to arrest Yan Cheng into the gendarmerie, but now instead of getting any benefits, he has lost thousands of dollars.
If Yan Cheng was released like this, how could he possibly figure it out?
"Twenty thousand yuan? This is not a small amount. After all, Yan Cheng is just a housekeeper." Lu Chengzhou frowned.
"Don't worry, the Yan family will give it to you. Yan Cheng is not only the housekeeper of the Yan family, but Yan Shuxun's previous business matters are also under Yan Cheng's control." Tao Jie said with a smile.
"In other words, my task is to ask the Yan family for 20,000 yuan?" Lu Chengzhou said.
"Yes, this is the lowest price. Of course, if it can exceed 20,000, it would be better." Tao Jie said with a smile.
"Twenty thousand yuan is already an astronomical figure." Lu Chengzhou said exaggeratedly.
Regardless of whether Lu Chengzhou can take advantage of this kind of thing, he will report it to Nozaki first.
He had no obligation to keep Tao Jie's secret, so why not do it if he could use Tao Jie's secret to gain Nozaki's trust.
"Wealth is all about money." Nozaki said coldly after listening to Lu Chengzhou's report.
Tao Jie's mission is to arrest the personnel of Haigu Station of Military Command.
Kawasaki Hiro handed over the cases of Guan Mingpeng and Yan Shuxun to him, and asked the military police unit to fully cooperate.
However, Tao Jie's mind was not on the case, but on the Yan family's property. Naturally, Nozaki was very dissatisfied.
