Lu Chengzhou stayed at the best hotel in Qian'an County at night. When he came to Qian'an County this time, in addition to him and Ishida Qiuo, there were two other subordinates.
It was hundreds of miles from Haigu to Qian'an County. Lu Chengzhou drove for several hours. In fact, he was already exhausted. If his subordinates hadn't woken him up the next morning, he would have slept until noon.
In the morning, Lu Cheng went to Li Ruqin's fourth regiment on Monday.
The Fourth Regiment is not stationed in the county seat. The county seat of Qian'an County is also called Xingcheng or Pocheng.
The fourth regiment has three battalions, each battalion has three companies, each company has three platoons, and the whole regiment has more than 1,000 people.
Of course, this is a roster list. In fact, the actual number of personnel in the Fourth Regiment does not exceed 800.
Lu Chengzhou quickly discovered this after visiting the Fourth Regiment.
"Captain Li, I want to talk to everyone in your regiment. Please make arrangements to meet with three companies every day and try to meet everyone in three days." Lu Chengzhou held up the roster of the fourth regiment.
, looking at Li Ruqin with a half-smile.
"Director Lu, are you doing a spot check or checking the Communist Party?" Li Ruqin's face showed displeasure.
"Of course we are investigating the Communist Party. Everyone must be investigated. Commander Li, do you not want me to see them, or is it inconvenient for me to see them?" Lu Chengzhou said lightly.
He was originally here to sort things out. He didn't know whether the Third Army had a Communist Party, but after he returned, the Third Army must have a Communist Party.
At least there must be a suspect.
"Why is it inconvenient? I just think it's too hard for Director Lu to meet people from one battalion a day?" Li Ruqin said with a smile.
"Serving the imperial army, what's so hard about it?" Lu Chengzhou smiled and said lightly.
"Okay, I'll let people from the first battalion meet you in company units." Li Ruqin said helplessly.
He now does not regard Lu Chengzhou as someone who is here to arrest the Communist Party, but as someone who is doing inspections.
"Okay, I just happened to meet the brothers from the Fourth Regiment." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
"When meeting hundreds of people a day, Director Lu is not afraid of having a headache?" Li Ruqin reminded.
"No, as a spy, you must practice the ability to remember faces. No matter who you are, as long as I remember them once, I will never forget them in my life." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"Director Lu, you're not that good, are you?" Li Ruqin originally thought about letting someone pretend to be someone else. This kind of thing has never happened before.
Hearing that Lu Chengzhou had such ability, he didn't dare.
"If Captain Li doesn't believe it, you can give it a try." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
Li Ruqin really didn't believe it. He had taken the free pay of more than 200 people, an average of nearly 20 people for a company.
He didn't believe that Lu Chengzhou recognized them all. When Lu Chengzhou met the first camp, he borrowed people from the second camp. When he met the people from the second camp, he borrowed people from the third camp. When he met the people from the third camp, he borrowed people from the first camp.
Send someone over to top up the amount.
Li Ruqin has been the regiment leader for such a long time and has been in contact with his subordinates every day. Even now, he still cannot recognize all the people in the fourth regiment.
Lu Chengzhou was able to recognize them all on the first day he came.
The way Lu Chengzhou met people was very simple. He took out the roster and called their names one by one.
Mainly, he would also ask simple questions, such as where is your hometown? What position do you hold? How many books have you read? How many fellow villagers are there in the Fourth Regiment, and who are you usually close to?
Lu Chengzhou was sent from above, and he came specifically to investigate the Communist Party. The people in the Fourth Regiment had already received the news, and their answers were very cautious.
Meeting 300 people a day, even if everyone only chatted a few words, Lu Chengzhou actually found it very hard.
However, his gains were also great.
After chatting with each person for a few words, he would be able to know the overall quality of the fourth regiment, as well as the list of all officers.
This is the information that the city committee needs most. Once you know the officers' place of origin and position, you can contact them in a targeted manner.
Of course, Lu Chengzhou also discovered some problems. For example, some people responded very slowly when they heard the roll call.
Obviously, these people are imposters. There are not many of them. For a battalion of about 300 people, there are probably more than fifty.
"Director Lu, did you gain anything today?" Li Ruqin asked with a smile when he saw Lu Chengzhou had finished counting everyone's names seriously and returned to the room, smoking a cigarette with a tired look on his face.
He thought to himself that the first battalion was fully equipped with people, and the second battalion also borrowed people from the third battalion. It would be strange if you were not exhausted after two days.
"These people need to be closely monitored." Lu Chengzhou took out a list of nearly fifty people and handed it to Li Ruqin.
"So many people?" Li Ruqin was shocked at first when he saw the list. Isn't Lu Chengzhou too weak?
However, when he saw the list, his face suddenly turned pale.
Because these people are all imposters.
"Director Lu, I can guarantee that these people are definitely not the Communist Party." Li Ruqin said firmly.
If they are found out, they will be in trouble.
"Captain Li, I can responsibly tell you that this time our brothers came to the Third Army only to investigate the Communist Party. As for other matters, they didn't ask about anything else." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"Okay, thank you brother." Li Ru said hurriedly.
"So, you should give me the real roster tomorrow, right?" Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
"I will deliver it myself in the evening." Li Ruqin felt that his back was numb.
In the evening, Li Ruqin personally went to Lu Chengzhou's room and not only delivered the real roster, but also a generous gift: two gold bars.
"Captain Li, why are you so embarrassed? I'm here to investigate the Communist Party. As long as you cooperate, nothing will be a problem." Lu Chengzhou declined.
"Director Lu, you have worked hard all the way. This is my brother's suggestion. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me." Li Ruqin said, pretending to be unhappy.
In fact, his heart was bleeding. How much free money would he need to pay back two gold bars?
"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Lu Chengzhou was no longer polite. He was really worried that if he continued to be polite, Li Ruqin would take the gold bars back.
"Brother Lu, do you want someone to sing a song for you?" Li Ruqin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Chengzhou accepting the gold bars.
"No, Ishida-kun, please find him a small and exquisite one." Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
Although Ishida Akio is only a consultant, he will never leave Ishida Akio behind whenever there is any benefit.
"Okay." When Li Ruqin heard that Ishida Qiuo had such a hobby, he naturally would not miss it.
After Li Ruqin left, Lu Chengzhou started writing reports at his desk.
This report will be handed over to Kawasaki Hiroshi in the future.
The next day, Lu Chengzhou contacted people from the Second Battalion of the Fourth Regiment. Because there were dozens of people missing, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Moreover, there were nearly 60 people who met yesterday. Lu Chengzhou did not expose them and still asked the same questions.
Three days later, Lu Chengzhou went to the fifth regiment. Fang Pinqing already knew Lu Chengzhou's ability, so he offered him two gold bars before taking out the roster.
