Lu Chengzhou paid attention to Xie Weihan's visit to the small station.
To allow Xie Weihan to leave the British Concession, there must be significant progress.
However, Xie Weihan's matter had nothing to do with him, so even if he knew about it, he couldn't interfere.
After returning, Lu Chengzhou took out the Haigu map and spread it on the table.
The small station is located in the southeast of Haigu, only more than ten kilometers away from Haiguang Temple.
If Li Yaohua's ministry is really going anyway, where should he go? Fengrun County? Or Baodi County?
Perhaps this issue should not be considered by Lu Chengzhou, but he had a habit of preparing for a rainy day and keeping everything in reserve.
Even if it is other people's matters, he is accustomed to using his own thinking to consider them.
Of course, Lu Chengzhou was also a little cautious.
If Li Yaohua did anything, he hoped that the other party would defect to the Eighth Route Army instead of joining the National Army.
Even if Xie Weihan's plan is not ruined, it would be good to prepare a response force for Li Yaohua's department.
No matter what, it's a good thing as long as Li Yaohua doesn't want to be a traitor.
Around Haigu, there is no organized resistance from the national army, but to the southwest of Haigu, there is the original 27th Detachment, now the Second Independent Brigade.
The Second Independent Brigade has its own base area and has withstood many encirclement and suppression campaigns by the Japanese army. They have taken deep roots.
But, how to get in touch with the Second Independent Brigade?
The organization has informed him that this ant has temporarily stopped its activities and is on standby. Even if he wants to contact the Second Independent Brigade, there is no channel.
Lu Chengzhou met two people in the Second Independent Brigade, Cheng Ruian and Li Xiangxue.
Although he and Wei Daguang had worked together and got rid of Sakai together, the two had not met each other, and at best they were just friends.
If we really want to communicate, we can only go through Cheng Ruian and Li Xiangxue.
However, Cheng Ruian misunderstood Lu Chengzhou.
Li Xiangxue knew Lu Chengzhou's identity. As Lu Chengzhou's introducer to join the party, Li Xiangxue would definitely support Lu Chengzhou.
However, as the director of the political department of the Second Independent Brigade, Li Xiangxue would not come to Haigu easily.
How does Lu Chengzhou contact him?
The problem of not having a superior quickly became apparent.
If someone from the Second Independent Brigade enters the city, it will most likely be Cheng Ruian.
And Cheng Ruian regarded Lu Chengzhou as a traitor agent. If he saw Lu Chengzhou, his first reaction would probably be to draw a gun and shoot him.
There was no solution to this matter for the time being, so Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to find another way.
What Lu Chengzhou can do now is to inquire about Li Yaohua's movements at the small station.
Until it is certain whether Li Yaohua will change his mind anyway, everything is in vain.
Lu Chengzhou was preparing to go to the city office.
He is now a counselor at the Haigu City Office. Although he is not responsible for specific affairs, he still gets a monthly salary of three hundred yuan.
The next morning, while Lu Chengzhou was having breakfast at home, he was considering whether to go to the city office in the morning or in the afternoon.
Should I go as a private person? Or as a councillor.
Just when he was still hesitating, a visitor suddenly came to his home. He was an acquaintance, Huang Xiaoan, the former manager and section chief of the Municipal Office, and now the director of the Public Affairs Department.
"Director Huang is here, it's hard to welcome him from afar." Lu Chengzhou clasped his hands and said with a smile.
But there was a big question in my mind, why did Huang Xiao'an, the director of public affairs, come to see me?
The so-called public offices are the Public Facilities Management Office. Trams, water and electricity, road maintenance, street lights, etc., as long as they are public things, are under the management of this public office.
When Huang Xiaoan was the manager and section chief, he also helped the Chinese and Western Pharmacy.
If it hadn't been for Huang Xiao'an, I'm afraid the current Chinese and Western Pharmacy might not have been possible.
"Mr. Lu, you're welcome. I came here with a request." Huang Xiao'an bowed and said sincerely.
"I'm just a useless police officer, how can I help you?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
"Mr. Lu is too humble." Huang Xiao'an still maintained a respectful expression.
Although Lu Chengzhou is a patrol officer, he is a senior patrol officer. Anyone who can become an inspector has a certain status in the British Concession, let alone the whole city.
As for Lu Chengzhou's relationship with the Japanese, he also knew something about it.
As for the relationship between Lu Chengzhou and Wen Peishi, he knows better.
Before Wen Peishi took office, he almost died at the hands of Jia Shaoming.
If it hadn't been for Lu Chengzhou, even if Wen Peishi could have saved his life, he might not have been able to take over as mayor so quickly.
Pan Jiacai didn't want to go to Japan at all. He originally wanted to start a relationship and continue to serve as mayor.
If he hadn't been caught with something, could he have handed it over obediently?
"Please come inside." Lu Chengzhou knew that outside was not the place to talk, so he invited Huang Xiao'an to the study on the second floor.
"Mr. Lu, I actually have something to ask for this time." After Huang Xiaoan arrived on the second floor, he didn't hide it anymore. He also knew that Lu Chengzhou had to go to work and didn't want to waste too much time.
The reason why Huang Xiaoan came to Lu Chengzhou was to use Lu Chengzhou's relationship to solve the issue of the tram fare increase of Bishang Tram Company.
The trams in Haigu are controlled by the Bi Guo Tram Company. The manager of the company is a Chinese named Lin, but everyone calls him Bi Guo Lin.
After Wen Peishi took office, Bi Guolin approached Huang Xiaoan and wanted to increase tram fares.
This matter requires the consent of the Japanese side and the approval of the Municipal Office.
Huang Xiao'an thought about it and found that the person who had the relationship between these two parties at the same time was none other than Lu Chengzhou.
Considering the relationship between Lu Chengzhou and Wen Peishi, as long as Lu Chengzhou says a word, the Municipal Office will definitely be fine.
As for Japan, Lu Chengzhou is still working part-time in the Army Secret Service in Haigu, Japan.
After Wen Peishi took office, some of the assistant officers and consultants in the Municipal Office changed. Watanabe in the advisory office was responsible for public affairs. Regarding the increase in tram fares, Watanabe had to give his nod first, and then the Municipal Office had a chance to approve it.
"The Watanabe you mentioned is a new transfer?" Lu Chengzhou asked after listening.
If Huang Xiao'an came to do this, he must have thought he could do it.
In fact, Lu Chengzhou felt that he could indeed do it.
But, he was thinking, should he do it? Is it worth doing?
"Yes, he used to be the General Affairs Section Chief of the Military Police. He was just transferred to the Advisory Office this month as the Assistant Officer of the Office." Huang Xiao'an nodded.
The Municipal Office is mainly composed of four departments: Municipal Meeting, Consultant's Office, Commissioner's Office, and Counselor's Office.
The Municipal Council is the highest decision-making group of the Municipal Office and is composed of the mayor, secretary-general, counselor, director, and director.
The consulting room is where Japanese consultants and assistant officers receive their money.
The Municipal Office is dominated by Japanese advisors, and the auxiliary officers are nominally assisting Chinese officials, but in fact they are the real sovereigns.
Like this tram fare increase, without the consent of Watanabe, the auxiliary officer, it would never have reached the stage of the municipal meeting.
"Section Chief Watanabe from the Military Police?" Lu Chengzhou's mind immediately flashed into an image of a fat, short man.
Lu Chengzhou did not expect that Watanabe would be transferred to the advisory office of the Municipal Office. Compared with the General Affairs Division, Watanabe would have a step forward in both power and wealth.
"It's okay, it's him. Does Mr. Lu know him?" Huang Xiao'an's eyes lit up and he asked.
