When Lu Chengzhou got the news, Nozaki, Masahiro Matsumoto, and Shizuo Yamaguchi all rushed to the scene.
The roof of the truck had been ripped off. Because it was still raining, the truck was not completely burned, but the truck was almost falling apart.
Lu Chengzhou put on his raincoat and rain boots in the car, took a flashlight and left the car.
The detection vehicle was full of Japanese. Lu Chengzhou was really not interested in their life or death. He wished that they all died.
But the moment he got off the car, Lu Chengzhou's face was full of concern and anxiety.
"Mr. Nozaki, what's going on?" Lu Chengzhou asked "anxiously".
"The detection vehicle was attacked by anti-Japanese elements. Three people on the vehicle died and two were injured, and all the equipment was lost." Nozaki looked very sad. The people who died this time were Japanese, including two telecommunications personnel.
"Did the military commander do it?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise.
He clearly knew the answer and it was an action he personally approved, but when facing Nozaki, he had to pretend he didn't know anything.
"Who else could it be but the military commander?" Nozaki's words were full of hatred and helplessness towards the military commander.
The gendarmerie detachment was detecting the military radio station, but why wasn't the military command detecting the gendarmerie detachment?
"Have you caught the murderer?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"I didn't even see any ghosts," Matsumoto Masahiro said angrily.
"Mr. Nozaki, the police should be asked to come forward, block the surrounding roads, and strictly investigate all personnel." Lu Chengzhou suggested.
Even if he does not make such a suggestion, the Japanese will definitely do so.
As long as the operators are not caught on the spot, it means that evacuation has been arranged.
According to the established plan, the operatives will evacuate to the Japanese concession overnight, and then, depending on the situation, whether to the urban area or the Italian concession.
"We have communicated with the police, but the military commanders are extremely cunning. They are like loaches and difficult to catch." Yamaguchi Shizuo said coldly.
"Tug the car back, and don't leave a single screw in the car to the British!" Nozaki warned.
After returning to the military police detachment, Nozaki slapped Masahiro Matsumoto and Akio Ishida twice in the office, "slap, slap, slap, slap". Lu Chengzhou, who was standing next to him, felt so happy when he heard this.
"Tell me, why did this happen?" Nozaki said angrily.
The detection vehicle was originally a very confidential matter. The Chinese were not involved at all, and the route was different every day. Even Henozaki didn't know where the detection vehicle would go tonight.
However, the detection vehicle was attacked by military commanders. Three people on the vehicle died and two were injured. It can be said to be a disastrous defeat.
Among them, Masahiro Matsumoto is responsible because he proposed the detection vehicle.
Yamaguchi Shizuo's super high class failed to fulfill its duty of protection and was the chief culprit.
"I was careless and didn't do a good job of keeping it confidential." Yamaguchi Shizuo said with shame.
"Someone must have revealed the news, could it be Liu Jinghua?" Masahiro Matsumoto suddenly said.
"Liu Jinghua? How could he do that?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
Liu Jinghua was his classmate, and Nozaki knew this, so it was not too much for him to ask such a question.
"Director Lu, don't trust him too much just because he is an old acquaintance of yours." Masahiro Matsumoto glanced at Lu Chengzhou dissatisfied.
He has studied Liu Jinghua's files many times. During the training class at Xiongzhenlou, Liu Jinghua spent a month with his classmate Lu Chengzhou.
Liu Jinghua studied intelligence at the time, but he was very interested in telecommunications. After graduating from the training class, he quickly showed his talent in this area.
When the North China District was established under military reunification, Liu Jinghua served as the director of the radio station, and later as the radio station inspector.
"Liu Jinghua has deciphered the military code. If he is not trustworthy, is there anyone in the intelligence room who can be trusted?" Lu Chengzhou said with a wry smile.
"No matter what, I firmly object to Liu Jinghua staying in the telecommunications room any longer. The telecommunications room is a confidential agency and there cannot be any Chinese!" Masahiro Matsumoto said firmly.
"In that case, please transfer Liu Jinghua to the Intelligence Room. It's just a pity for his talent." Lu Chengzhou sighed and said with regret.
"No, I'm going to test him to see if he is secretly sabotaging." Masahiro Matsumoto said suddenly.
He would never allow Liu Jinghua to stay in the telecommunications room, but he didn't want to just let Liu Jinghua go.
Matsumoto Masahiro actually felt that he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
"Mr. Nozaki, I'm going to see if the truck has been towed back." Lu Chengzhou heard the sound and knew the meaning. Since Matsumoto Masahiro wanted to test Liu Jinghua, he naturally couldn't stay any longer.
"That's fine." Nozaki nodded.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Chengzhou, but he felt that the fewer people who knew about some things, the better.
"Matsumoto-kun, let's leave the task of testing Liu Jinghua to the super high class." Yamaguchi Shizuo said to Matsumoto Masahiro after Lu Chengzhou left.
In the final analysis, Masahiro Matsumoto is just a technician.
It’s not that technicians can’t do intelligence work, it’s just that technicians rarely do intelligence work well.
They are often aloof and only interested in their own major.
"We all serve the empire, why should we separate ourselves? Only if you cooperate sincerely can we better fight against the anti-Japanese elements in the concession." Nozaki said slowly.
"Hi!" Masahiro Matsumoto and Shizuo Yamaguchi responded in unison.
"How are you going to test it?" Nozaki asked.
"Today's detection vehicle was blown up, which played into the hands of the military. If a new detection vehicle comes back tomorrow, Liu Jinghua will be very interested." Masahiro Matsumoto thought for a while and said.
"I suggest using false information, no, using real information to test him." Yamaguchi Shizuo suddenly said.
"Real information?" Nozaki quickly noticed that Yamaguchi Shizuo said this word.
"Intelligence Room Three attacked No. 7 Wenqi Road. Although it was a complete failure, we did not gain anything." Yamaguchi Shizuo smiled slyly.
Originally, he wanted to be like Jin Timing and not report this discovery for the time being.
However, after the reconnaissance vehicle was blown up by military commanders, he felt that he had to speed up the pace.
"Squad leader Yamaguchi, please don't be too secretive, okay?" Nozaki asked anxiously. As an imperial soldier, he should speak out.
"A few days ago, when I went to No. 7 Wenqi Road, I accidentally discovered that the electric lighting company came to collect the electricity bill. No. 7 Wenqi Road used 12 kWh of electricity in a month." Yamaguchi Shizuo said slowly.
When electric lights first emerged in China, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the electricity bill at that time was calculated based on how much a lamp cost.
At that time, the electricity bill for a family was about fifteen taels of silver.
Such expenses are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
With the passage of time, electricity bills have become cheaper and cheaper, and they have also changed from charging based on the number of light bulbs to charging based on electricity consumption. Currently, the cost of electricity in the British Concession is 0.2 yuan per kilowatt hour, which is also a high cost for ordinary households.
Not a small expense.
"Shizuo Yamaguchi, can you finish what you said in one go?" Nozaki said angrily.
