Lu Chengzhou's task is to investigate the residents of all the hotels, restaurants and inns on the side of the British Concession near the Haihe River.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know Lu Jizhi's situation, and he didn't know if Lu Jizhi stayed in a hotel or restaurant in this area last night.
After receiving the order from Kawasaki Hiroshi, he took the people from the intelligence room and attacked everywhere.
Accommodation places in the British Concession will register guests, and as soon as suspicious persons are found, in-depth investigations will be carried out immediately.
For this kind of thing, Lu Chengzhou only needs to go through the motions and leave the rest to Han Fushan, Wu Wei and others.
Of course, Lu Chengzhou cannot return to the military police unit, otherwise, his "hard-working and loyal" image will be destroyed.
"Zhang Baotou, why aren't you driving today?" Lu Chengzhou was driving on the road when he suddenly saw Zhang Baotou carrying a small cloth bag and walking downcast on the road.
"Mr. Lu." Zhang Baotou turned around and saw Lu Chengzhou in the car, and immediately walked over.
During the flood, thanks to Lu Chengzhou, he lent him a boat so that he would not go hungry during that time.
Otherwise, he will either starve to death or be sent to Manchuria or Japan as a laborer, living an inhumane life.
Zhu Biao was lucky, he was only sent to the barracks to build fortifications and finally escaped back.
"Let me ask you, why didn't you pull the car today?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
For a rickshaw puller like Zhang Baotou, if he does not pull his rickshaw for a day, his whole family may go hungry.
For him, every time he opens his eyes, he has to pay the driver.
"Buying grain." Zhang Baotou raised the bag in his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Did you buy it?" Lu Chengzhou looked at the man's dry bag and asked.
"I waited in line all morning and bought two kilograms of rice." Zhang Baotou sighed.
Lu Chengzhou didn't have to worry about food, so he naturally couldn't understand the feeling of not being able to buy food even if he had money.
Now, Zhang Baotou's biggest headache every day is no longer the driver's money, but food.
In order to buy grain, he would rather not pull a cart.
If there is no food, how can one have the strength to pull a cart?
"Is food now at a point where even money can't buy it?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
He only knew that the price of food had increased, but as long as he had money, he could still buy it.
"Limited supply, I heard that in the future you will have to buy with coupons." Zhang Baotou sighed.
"If it doesn't work, come to my house and get some rice and noodles back." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, I can think of a way." Zhang Baotou already owes Lu Chengzhou a lot of favors. If he asks Lu Chengzhou for food again, he will really not be able to repay the favors in the future.
Lu Chengzhou is a traitor, do we really have to follow him all the way to the dark side?
"Okay." Lu Chengzhou didn't insist anymore. Zhang Baotou had backbone and was very patriotic, which was a good thing.
Watching Zhang Baotou go away, Lu Chengzhou was thoughtful.
In the afternoon, while Zhang Baotou was pulling a train, he suddenly heard the news that there would be two trains carrying flour at Haigu North Station in the evening.
This was a good opportunity. Everyone was so hungry that they could hardly stand up. The Japanese actually loaded trains with flour and transported it to the Northeast. It was really abominable.
The moment Zhang Baotou heard the news, the idea almost immediately flashed in his mind to carry a bag of flour back.
There are many people who think like Zhang Baotou. He is the leader of the rickshaw pullers in the British Concession. He also hopes that the hard-working rickshaw pullers in the concession will not starve to death.
In such a world, living is a very difficult thing.
In the evening, a food robbery incident occurred at Haigu North Station.
Two trains carrying flour were robbed by hungry people.
The Japanese and puppet military police at the station opened fire to suppress the incident, but received a resolute counterattack from the military unified action group.
Under the leadership of Fang Nansheng, the Japanese and puppet military and police were suppressed by firepower. They did not expect that anyone would dare to attack them.
Of course, people who are robbing food are not without their sacrifices.
According to subsequent statistics, six innocent people were killed.
However, if there were no sniping attacks by the military commanders, more people would probably die under the guns of the Japanese and puppets.
The most important thing is that these two trains carrying flour cannot be robbed.
Thousands of tons of flour were looted by the masses, and it was impossible to take them back.
A lot of flour went into the bellies of the hungry people that night.
Zhang Baotou was very strong and ran very fast. He carried four bags of flour by himself and ran back to the British Concession in one breath.
Many rickshaw pullers in the British Concession also participated in the food grab at night.
They carried at least one bag of flour back, and some carried two or even four bags.
When the grain grabbing incident occurred at Haigu North Station, Lu Chengzhou was at No. 57 Wenqi Road and heard the reports from Han Fushan and Wu Wei.
After a day of investigation, the Intelligence Room discovered several suspicious persons.
"Director, according to the instructions, we focused on investigating the guests who checked in at midnight and left early in the morning. The anti-Japanese elements are so cunning that they dared to report in the hotel. Last night, the man named Dai Rong who stayed at the Lishun Hotel was very suspicious.
"Han Fushan introduced.
He used to be a patrol commander and is very experienced in such tasks.
"Can you find this Dai Rong?" Lu Chengzhou looked at the registration book he brought back from the Lishun Hotel. It said that Dai Rong was a businessman by profession and came to the British Concession to do medicine business.
"He left early in the morning, and he was still carrying his suitcase. This person stayed at the Lishun Hotel for less than five hours. It is really suspicious." Han Fushan said.
"Director, I also found a suspicious person here." Wu Wei also said.
I checked in last night and left early this morning. I still took my suitcases and other luggage with me. I am a single adult man. After excluding these characteristics, not many people meet the criteria.
"Tonight, we will send people to various hotels and restaurants to bring back all the guests who stayed in the middle of the night for investigation." Lu Chengzhou said fiercely.
The British and French concession authorities were overwhelmed by Japan's increasing pressure.
As they continued to compromise, the power of the gendarmerie detachment continued to increase.
"Director, brothers have had a hard day today." Han Fushan smiled.
"From now on at midnight, can't we still sleep for a few hours? We must always share the worries of the imperial army. The hard work now is for future happiness. If the anti-Japanese elements are eliminated, our good days will come."
Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou assigned the tasks and went to No. 11 Hongqiang Road. He had to listen to Fang Nansheng's report on the operations at Haigu North Station in the evening.
At No. 11 Red Wall Road, Lu Chengzhou also met Lu Jizhi. Tonight, Lu Jizhi specially waited for Lu Chengzhou here.
"Brothers from the action team, thank you for your hard work. Have our leaflets been distributed?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"It happened, but unfortunately, a few people still died." Fang Nansheng said regretfully.
"In war, death is unavoidable. As long as our brothers don't suffer any losses, it will be considered a complete success." Lu Chengzhou glanced at Lu Jizhi and said.
