The Japanese army blocked the British and French concessions. The Wen Peishi government cooperated with the Japanese army and issued notices warning citizens not to enter or leave the concessions at will.
The Municipal Office will not be responsible for any consequences caused by entering or leaving the British and French Concession.
However, the British did not change their attitude because of this.
As long as the Japanese army did not enter the concession, they could accept it.
Of course, the Japanese army's actions seriously affected life in the concession, but for their own interests, the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau still persisted.
However, Lu Chengzhou saw the clues.
After returning home in the evening, he parked the car and went directly to the No. 18 yard opposite instead of going home.
Since Wen Peishi moved out, the yard has been empty again, but recently it was rented out again.
The person who rented Courtyard No. 18 this time was Zhang Fengxin.
Before Zhang Fengxin took office, Lu Chengzhou asked Zeng Zilian to transfer people who might be exposed at Haigu Station or transfer them away from Haigu.
As for all agencies and liaison stations, almost all have to be rebuilt.
Zheng Wenyou, Chen Bailu and Liu Xuan are the acting webmaster, action team leader and intelligence team deputy leader respectively.
It can be said that apart from the matter of matches and flames, Haigu stood in front of them without any secrets.
After Zhang Fengxin took office, he first had to solve the housing problem and also select a new office location.
Zhang Fengxin decided to live alone because he wanted to meet Lu Chengzhou and for safety reasons.
From the address provided by Lu Chengzhou, he chose No. 18, No. 24 Road.
Although Lu Chengzhou objected, Zhang Fengxin finally chose this place.
Opposite is Lu Chengzhou's residence, and this is where Wen Peishi escaped Pan Jiacai's assassination before he took office. Neither the police department nor the gendarmerie detachment will pay attention to this place.
"I heard news today that the British Ambassador to Japan held a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Oga Arita Hachiro in Tokyo." Lu Chengzhou said worriedly.
"They were just having a normal meeting, and the anti-rebellion people have already arrived in Chongqing and will soon be able to surrender to Hong Kong." Zhang Fengxin said proudly.
The anti-communist operatives first went to Hong Kong and then returned to Chongqing from Hong Kong.
In Chongqing, they were personally received by Dai Li, who entertained them in every possible way.
They were even received by the chairman of the committee in Chongqing.
Dai Li personally did their ideological work and asked them to sacrifice for the revolution.
The Japanese now regard Zheng Wenyou and others as key criminals in the assassination case. If they can surrender to the British authorities in Hong Kong.
When they surrender in Hong Kong, whether they are dealt with in Hong Kong or returned to the UK, the military commander will actively rescue them.
In order to reassure them, the military commander also brought their families to Chongqing.
As long as they surrender in Hong Kong, Zheng Wenyou and others will naturally not be criminals.
"Still can't place all our hopes on the British." Lu Chengzhou warned.
They met on Zhang Fengxin's first day in Haigu.
The two of them had a very happy conversation at that time, and it can be said that they were candid and honest.
However, both of them actually had a backup plan.
Zhang Fengxin asked how to get rid of Jin Timing.
At that time, Lu Chengzhou's reply was quite satisfactory and could even be said to have no new ideas.
Whether you do it yourself or use the method used to deal with Tao Jie, it may not be useful against Jin Timing.
Jin Timing is very skilled and very cautious in doing things.
However, Lu Chengzhou was able to test Zhang Fengxin because of this.
Although Lu Chengzhou was promoted to the military by Zhang Fengxin, at that time Zhang Fengxin was just the external liaison officer of the military.
This time he returned to Haigu to serve as the webmaster, and Lu Chengzhou also wanted to know his background.
Zhang Fengxin has been away from Haigu for five years and is really not familiar with the situation here.
Lu Chengzhou also discovered a characteristic of Zhang Fengxin: he was obedient to orders from the headquarters.
As long as it is an order from the headquarters, he will execute it meticulously.
For example, regarding the rescue of Zheng Wenyou and others, the headquarters asked the anti-rebellion people to go to Hong Kong to find their own way, but as for Haigu, no other actions were taken.
Zhang Fengxin strictly implemented the headquarters appointment, which made Lu Chengzhou both pleased and worried.
"Is there any news from Jin Timing?" Zhang Fengxin asked.
This is a strategy set by the headquarters, and he will naturally strictly implement it.
Although before coming here, Dai Li told him that he should listen to Lu Chengzhou's advice more on Haigu matters.
However, the headquarters has already made a plan for rescuing Zheng Wenyou, he just needs to execute it.
Between the headquarters and Lu Chengzhou, Zhang Fengxin would naturally choose the headquarters without hesitation.
Zhang Fengxin met Lu Chengzhou on his first day in Haigu, and he also tested Lu Chengzhou's background.
He admitted that Lu Chengzhou's success in lurking in the gendarmerie detachment actually had its merits.
However, when Lu Chengzhou thinks about problems, he considers more locally, even personally, and cannot consider the overall situation.
Zheng Wenyou and others were imprisoned in the police station. How could they be rescued casually? Once the British were offended and turned to the Japanese, it would not be possible to save a few lives.
"Jin Timing took the information of Chen Bailu, Liu Xuan and Yuan Qingyuan and investigated everywhere." Lu Chengzhou said.
Jin Timing did nothing to pry open the mouths of Chen Bailu and others, so he was naturally unwilling to do so.
At that time, the British dispatched diplomats to bring the people back to the concession.
Even, for the sake of Chen Bailu and others, Nozaki and other Japanese were detained.
The attitude of the British was very tough, and the cooked duck flew away.
Jin Timing was very unwilling. He could only use the information he had previously obtained to inquire about Chen Bailu and others in the British Concession.
Although Chen Bailu and others were arrested, there were others at Haigu Station.
"The headquarters' concerns are quite reasonable." Zhang Fengxin nodded slowly.
Jin Timing is a great threat to Haigu Station. After he took office, his biggest task was to get rid of Jin Timing.
"I will act as soon as possible." Lu Chengzhou nodded.
Lu Chengzhou also knew that Jin Timing was a great threat to Haigu Station.
However, you have to find the right time.
Forcibly removing Jin Timing will only expose yourself.
After Lu Chengzhou returned home, he heard the phone in the living room ringing while he was still at the door. He quickly ran in and grabbed the phone before he could stop.
The call coming at this time must be urgent. Holding the phone in his hand, Lu Chengzhou thought to himself, this call was either from Nozaki or Hiroshi Kawasaki.
Sure enough, Lu Chengzhou heard Nozaki's voice.
In the evening, Nozaki went to the Military Police for a meeting. It was said that the Military Police was going to change its captain.
Kawasaki Hiroshi, as the chief of the Special High School Division, is very likely to be promoted to captain of the military police.
"Get to the military police station before eight o'clock tomorrow to welcome Captain Hiroshi Kikuchi as he takes office," Nozaki said.
"Kuan Kikuchi? Okay." Lu Chengzhou was slightly surprised and then said respectfully.
Hiroshi Kikuchi was originally the chief of the judicial section of the Military Police and was considered Hiroshi Kawasaki's competitor.
This time there was a vacancy for the military police captain, and the superiors chose one of them from Hiroshi Kikuchi and Hiroshi Kawasaki to serve as a military police officer. Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Kawasaki was not chosen in the end.
