After seeing this letter, Cheng Ruian finally knew why he was able to come out.
That Chen Xin just now was just a drama actor.
He didn't know Cheng Ruien's identity, nor was he an employee of HSBC. He just put on a show, used the identity of "Chen Xin" to rescue Cheng Ruien, and then took the money and left.
However, the identity of the other party was not mentioned in the letter, so Cheng Ruien could not guess it.
After reading the letter, he burned it.
Early the next morning, he checked out of the room, the gendarmerie unit's surveillance of him had been cancelled, and Cheng Ruien finally disappeared from Shao Longge's sight.
When Lu Chengzhou held a regular meeting in the morning, he asked Shao Longge about Chen Ren's situation.
"Director, the person has been released and the suspicion of anti-Japanese elements has been basically eliminated." Shao Longge reported.
"What do you mean by basically eliminating the suspicion of anti-Japanese elements?" Lu Chengzhou said dissatisfied.
Chen Ren was captured by Shao Longge. When he was released, Lu Chengzhou was also put in charge of Shao Longge.
"Chen Ren has been ruled out as an anti-Japanese element. It's my fault for not investigating the situation." Shao Longge bowed and said with a guilty look on his face.
"It doesn't matter if you can exclude one person. Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Let's get everyone back." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, Director, for your consideration." Shao Longge said respectfully.
"Director Lu, when will the rice from Gong Qi Yihuan arrive?" During this time, Ishida Qiuo was very concerned about Gong Qi Yihuan from the Social Bureau.
Although he didn't invest any money, Lu Chengzhou lent him 10,000 yuan.
According to Lu Chengzhou's conservative estimate, this ten thousand yuan would have to be doubled at least four times. Even if Lu Chengzhou's principal of ten thousand yuan was paid back, he would still get thirty thousand yuan.
"I've asked him and I'm still in contact with rice merchants in Shanxi," Lu Chengzhou said.
In fact, he was more anxious than Ishida Akio. Akiyama Yoshio wanted to sell military supplies. He also thought that after Gong Qi Yihuan earned tens of thousands here, he would find a way to give the money to the organization.
Even if he couldn't contact the organization, he would find another place to transfer the materials from the Si Jing Road warehouse.
"Still contacting the rice merchant in Shanxi? You can go over there later and see how things go. If he can't contact the rice merchant, I'll find a way." Ishida Akio frowned. He also has classmates and friends in Shanxi. If
Gong Qi Yihuan can't buy rice, so he can buy rice.
With Ishida Akio's words, Lu Chengzhou went to the Social Affairs Bureau in the morning.
However, he first met with the social director Shen Zhuguang as Huo Huo.
Since "Match" left Haigu Station, Lu Chengzhou has continued to maintain contact with Shen Zhuguang as "Flame".
Shen Zhuguang had already reported to Gong Qi Yihuan that he wanted to buy rice from Shanxi.
"When will Gong Qi Yihuan's rice arrive in Haigu?" Lu Chengzhou didn't need to worry in front of Shen Zhuguang, he just asked directly if he had anything to say.
"I'm afraid it won't work in the short term." Shen Zhuguang said with a wry smile.
The one million yuan from the Haigu rice merchant has gone into the hands of Gong Qi Yihuan.
However, Gong Qi Yihuan seemed to have suddenly lost interest in this.
"Why?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise. Gong Qi Yihuan should be as active as Ishida Akio on this matter.
In fact, Gong Qi Yihuan should be more active than Ishida Qiuo, because he has a commission of 100,000 yuan, and if he invests this money, it will immediately become 400,000 yuan.
"In the first two days, he kept in touch with Shanxi. But after that, there seemed to be no contact." Shen Zhuguang shook his head and said with some doubts.
"Can't buy rice?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
"I don't know." Shen Zhuguang shook his head and said slowly.
"Did you participate in Gong Qi Yihuan's grain purchase plan?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Shen Zhuguang didn't seem to be very interested in Gong Qi Yihuan's affairs.
"No." Shen Zhuguang sighed. He wanted to participate, but Gong Qi Yihuan did not agree.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised. Gong Qi Yihuan was an assistant officer of the Social Affairs Bureau and stayed with Shen Zhuguang all day long. No matter how harsh the conditions were, he should not reject Shen Zhuguang.
After separating from Shen Zhuguang, Lu Chengzhou officially visited Gong Qi Yihuan as a member of the military police unit.
Gong Qi Yihuan's office in the Social Affairs Bureau is a bit older than Shen Zhuguang's.
Gong Qi Yihuan was a little surprised when she saw Lu Chengzhou.
He sat behind the desk and wanted to stand up to greet her, but just as he was about to move, he sat down again.
"Gong Qijun, when will the millet from Shanxi arrive in Haigu?" Lu Chengzhou bowed to Gong Qi Yihuan and asked.
If Ishida Akio didn't participate in the stock, it would be hard for him to ask.
But Ishida Qiuo's status is more noble than Gong Qi Yihuan, so he can send Lu Chengzhou to investigate this matter.
"I have contacted the rice merchants in Taiyuan, and the rice will be shipped to Haigu soon." Gong Qiyi smiled happily and said calmly.
"How soon will it be?" Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"A week at most." Gong Qi Yihuan said firmly.
"Has the current payment been paid?" Lu Chengzhou asked again.
"Lu Jun doesn't seem to believe me?" Gong Qi Yihuan's face showed displeasure when he heard Lu Chengzhou's constant questioning.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Mr. Ishida has always been very concerned about this matter." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
He also invested 10,000 yuan, which was a lot of money for Lu Chengzhou. He also hoped that the 10,000 yuan could be quickly multiplied several times so that he could purchase a batch of military supplies from Akiyama Yoshio.
For Akiyama Yoshio, the things in military warehouses, no matter how precious they are, are nothing more than that.
"I will personally explain this matter to Mr. Ishida. Let's do this. If he is free at night, I will treat him to a drink." Gong Qi Yihuan said calmly.
"That's good." Lu Chengzhou didn't say any more. After all, he was Chinese. Even if he represented Ishida Akio, there was nothing he could do if Gong Qi Yihuan wanted to contact Ishida Akio directly.
Gong Qi Yihuan only invited Ishida Qiuo and did not let Lu Chengzhou go with him. Naturally, he could not follow.
After returning home, Lu Chengzhou told Ishida Qiuo about the incident.
"Gong Qi Yihuan has twinkling eyes and always avoids the key points when speaking. I am very worried that the money we invested will be wasted." Lu Chengzhou said with a worried face.
"How dare he embezzle so much money?" Ishida Qiuo said with a sneer.
"That's impossible to say." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"Let's wait until I meet him in the evening. You can help me book a place." Ishida Qiuo said.
"How about at the West Lake Hotel?" Lu Chengzhou said. He was familiar with the West Lake Hotel, and there was a Japanese chef there who made good sushi and also had sake from Japan.
The most important thing is that if Ishida Akio and Gong Qi Yihuan have a secret conversation, he has a way to hear it.
There is a row of tatami newly renovated in the West Lake Hotel. If he had booked a seat, he could have booked the room next door as well. If he wanted to hear the noise next door, there would still be no problem.
"Okay." Ishida Qiuo didn't know that Lu Chengzhou was interested in eavesdropping. In his eyes, Lu Chengzhou was a loyal friend of Japan and could be trusted.
