It was almost evening when Lu Chengzhou saw Ma Yuzhen.
"Something happened in the French Concession today." Lu Chengzhou had to hide his grief in front of Ma Yuzhen.
Of course, he can show a little pity appropriately, but he can't be sad.
"What's the matter?" Ma Yuzhen asked casually.
"Something happened to Cheng Ruian." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
"Cheng Ruian? What happened to him?" Ma Yuzhen said in shock.
She just met Cheng Ruian last night, but something happened to him today.
"He's dead. The Japanese did it." Lu Chengzhou said casually.
"Dead?" Ma Yuzhen exclaimed in a low voice.
"As long as you know about this, we don't have to worry about the CCP's affairs." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"Okay." Ma Yuzhen looked at Lu Chengzhou deeply. She felt that Lu Chengzhou was too indifferent to Cheng Ruien's death.
After Lu Chengzhou left, Ma Yuzhen went to the dead mailbox. She had to report the matter to Ant.
However, after arriving at No. 26 Road in the British Concession, she saw the information left by the ants.
Ant already knew about Cheng Ruian and told her to stay hidden for the time being.
Cheng Ruien is not only the traffic officer of the Ant Intelligence Team, but also responsible for communication with the Haigu City Committee.
From the moment Cheng Ruien died, the Ant Intelligence Team not only lost contact with the Urban Engineering Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau, but also was unable to establish contact with the Haigu City Committee.
In other words, the Ant Intelligence Group has become a lone goose.
Ma Yuzhen didn't give up and went to No. 7, No. 70 Road again.
She walked around the neighborhood and found that door 7 on No. 70 Road was locked, and there was no light inside.
Ma Yuzhen observed outside for three hours before giving up and leaving.
After returning home, Ma Yuzhen left a letter for Ant in the dead mailbox. She hoped to meet Ant.
Cheng Ruien's death made her very sad. At the same time, she was also worried about what she would do if one day Ant suddenly died too.
She also knew very well what Cheng Ruien's sacrifice meant.
From now on, the Ant Intelligence Group has lost contact with the organization.
The next morning, Ma Yuzhen received a reply from Ant.
Ant did not reply to her request to meet. He only asked Ma Yuzhen to hide herself and wait for the opportunity.
The most important task at the moment is to protect the comrades who have obtained the radio.
As for contacting organizations, there is always a way.
At present, it is naturally impossible to contact the Urban Industry Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau.
But there is still a circuitous relationship with the Haigu City Committee.
On the surface, the Chinese and Western Pharmacy is an industry owned by the military, but Ma Hougu has long secretly joined the underground party.
In addition, there is a comrade from the city committee of Zhongxi Pharmacy.
Of course, this line cannot be used lightly.
Although the Ant Intelligence Team and the Haigu City Committee are both under the leadership of the Urban Engineering Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau, they are two different lines.
If the Ant Intelligence Team contacts the Haigu City Committee at will, will the Haigu City Committee be able to proactively contact the Ant Intelligence Group in the future?
The party's discipline is very strict, especially underground workers, who need iron discipline.
Besides, Lu Chengzhou should soon know the news about the comrade who contacted Cheng Ruien.
After all, the super high class has long been eyeing that guy.
Yesterday afternoon, Terada Kiyozō requested the assistance of the Intelligence Office, and Lu Chengzhou handed over the task to Zhao Bin.
When Lu Chengzhou arrived at the military police unit in the morning, Zhao Bin had already gone out, but Zhang Guanglin reported Zhao Bin's work to him.
"What Seizo Terada is looking for is a person named Qin Baohua, who is an employee of China Industrial Bank." Zhang Guanglin introduced.
"Where are the Qin Baohua people?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
The person who contacted Cheng Ruian yesterday should be Qin Baohua, and the radio station should also be in Qin Baohua's hands.
"Disappeared. Qin Baohua has not shown his face since the French Concession yesterday." Zhang Guanglin shook his head.
"The concession is so big, are you worried that you won't be able to find anyone?" Lu Chengzhou smiled.
Qin Baohua should know that it was because of him that the Japanese discovered it.
At this time, hiding with a radio is the best way.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know Qin Baohua's identity or his mission, he only knew that he was his comrade.
"Qin Baohua is very cunning. After what happened, he never appeared in the British Concession." Zhang Guanglin shook his head.
"Send out the entire small team and make sure to find this Qin Baohua." Lu Chengzhou said.
Terada Kiyozō originally only asked for a few people, but now that Qin Baohua has gone into hiding, Lu Chengzhou wants to "go all out" to support Terada Kiyōzo's work.
"Mr. Lu, the Japanese have not made such a request. Are they too proactive?" Zhang Guanglin said worriedly.
Lu Chengzhou has become more and more like a traitor recently, which worries him very much.
"It's not like you don't know who the small team is. Even if you mobilize all of them, can you find Qin Baohua? But we have an explanation for the superiors, otherwise, the Japanese will let us go?" Lu Chengzhou said with a sneer.
"That's it." Zhang Guanglin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Lu Chengzhou doesn't just want to deal with the anti-Japanese elements, he will be safe.
"We still have to do some superficial things, otherwise why would the Japanese use us?" Lu Chengzhou smiled, that is, they were alone together, otherwise he would not have said such things.
"Mr. Lu, why do you actually do things for the Japanese?" Zhang Guanglin suddenly asked.
"Isn't it just to make a living?" Lu Chengzhou smiled and stopped talking to Zhang Guanglin.
He went to Terada Seizo's office and prepared to tell him his decision.
"A small team? Not bad, thank you very much." Although Terada Qingzang was very annoyed, he could not be angry with Lu Chengzhou who took the initiative to cooperate.
"This is what I should do. As long as people are in the concession, they will be found." Lu Chengzhou said confidently.
"Let's go, come with me to Kawasaki-kun's office." Terada Seizo suddenly said.
"Is there anything else?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
"Last night, Shanying didn't send a message, and there was no response to our call." Terada Kiyozou said calmly.
He now suspected that there might be something wrong with the mountain eagle.
Otherwise, how could the people from Erbu Mountain not enter the city?
Sadly, I received a few slaps from Hiroshi Kawasaki in vain.
"Occasionally, it's normal not to send a report for a day." Lu Chengzhou smiled and said disapprovingly.
"If there was no action yesterday, of course there would be no problem. But Erbushan did not send anyone into the city yesterday, and Shanying did not report afterward. This is very abnormal." Terada Kiyozō shook his head.
"Can I contact Xu Tie?" Kawasaki Hiro asked after seeing Lu Chengzhou.
Shan Ying didn't send a message last night, so he was really worried.
"This... I'm afraid it will be difficult." Lu Chengzhou looked embarrassed. If he were not the commander of Haigu Station, it would be difficult to contact Xu Tie.
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way. We need to know whether the mountain eagle is safe." Kawasaki Hiroshi said thoughtfully.
