Kawasaki's roaring and intimidation, Barns's insistence, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

Inside, Barnes is reluctant to deal with Kawasaki.

For a gentleman of the British Empire, it was a sin to say a word more to a scoundrel like Hiroshi Kawasaki.

Ryoichi Nakayama, who was sitting opposite, also realized that if we continued to talk, there would be no progress.

He suddenly whispered a few words in Kawasaki's ear, and soon Kawasaki asked for a temporary adjournment.

Lu Chengzhou was stunned, Ryoichi Nakayama must have had some idea.

It's just that he is only working as a translator and cannot intervene in the negotiations.

However, seeing Ryoichi Nakayama's expression, Lu Chengzhou knew that he must have a way to break the current deadlock.

Sure enough, when Barnes returned to the office, Ryoichi Nakayama followed him alone.

In less than ten minutes, Ryoichi Nakayama came out.

Seeing the victorious smile on his face, Lu Chengzhou secretly screamed that it was not good.

Sure enough, Barnes called Clay Senqi into the office, and after the two discussed for a while, Clay Senqi called Lu Chengzhou in again.

By this time, Barnes had already left.

"Mr. Lu, the Japanese are despicable and shameless, they threaten and intimidate, they are simply a gang of hooligans. You go and tell them that in the future, the police will be simplified and the police will be dispatched as soon as possible. However, the gendarmerie detachment could not arrest people openly. Once found, they must be brought to the police. Claysenki said weakly.

Lu Chengzhou's face was stunned, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau almost only had the last fig leaf.

At the same time, he was also curious about what means Ryoichi Nakayama used to threaten Barns.

In the evening, after arriving at the "Chang Longsheng" trading company, Lu Chengzhou realized that Zhongshan Liangyi was indeed shameless.

He warned Barnes that the safety of the Barnes family would not be guaranteed if he did not cooperate with the operations of the gendarmerie detachment.

At the same time, Barnes was presented with a cheque for two thousand pounds.

At the same time, Nakayama told Barnes that if the police force did not cooperate with the actions of the military police detachment, the military police detachment would deploy more than 200 people on its own.

In the future, all operations, the gendarmerie detachment will no longer pass through the police department.

Barnes weighed left and right and finally decided to back down.

The Japanese were only aimed at the anti-Japanese elements and did not affect the interests of the British.

As long as the British Concession maintained the rule of the British on the surface, why bother with the Japanese.

Barnes wisely protected himself, making the Japanese even more wanton.

"Cheng Zhou, these Japanese are not simple, I heard that they are working in South Comber Road?" After Wen Jingzai saw Lu Chengzhou, he pulled him aside and asked mysteriously.

Hiroshi Kawasaki came to Gordon Hall today to tell everyone that the Japanese gendarmerie has officially entered the British Concession.

"Really? That's going to have to be checked. Lu Chengzhou said seriously.

"Check the fart, even foreigners don't dare to offend the Japanese, you have to do it yourself." Wen Jingzai patted Lu Chengzhou's shoulder and persuaded him.

"Foreigners are afraid of the Japanese, but I am not afraid." Lu Chengzhou said loudly.

In the afternoon, Lu Chengzhou sent information to Yao Yimin of the Haigu City Party Committee for the first time, telling him the location and staffing of the military police detachment in the British Concession of Japan, as well as the agreement reached with the Ministry of Industry and Bureau today.

At the end of the intelligence, Lu Chengzhou drew an ant, which is very simple, one large and one small, two circles, plus two antennae and horns, a few simple strokes, not very expressive, but it also has its own characteristics.

Lu Chengzhou was in the police department, and he spoke righteously, but after arriving at the gendarmerie detachment at night, he changed his face.

"Captain Zhongshan is really full of wisdom, both soft and hard, and the British have to give in." Lu Chengzhou said with admiration.

"The British just want to save face." Ryoichi Nakayama said proudly.

"I'm afraid that from today onwards, this place will be the target of attention." Lu Chengzhou said worriedly.

Today, Hiroshi Kawasaki took Ryoichi Nakayama and made a big fuss about the Ministry of Works, which will soon become news.

When it was almost dark, a young man on a bicycle arrived at No. 12 Fushun Lane, Dunqiao Road.

His name is Jiang Zhiyuan, he is in his early twenties, he has been in the party for a year, he is very clever, and he is a secret traffic officer of the agency.

After Jiang Zhiyuan saw Yao Yimin, he took out a folded note, and drew a triangle on the crease of the note.

"Secretary Yao, this is the information I just got." After Jiang Zhiyuan handed over the information to Yao Yimin, he was not polite, picked up the kettle on the table, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Xiao Jiang, in the future, you will be responsible for the intelligence reception of these two points." After Yao Yimin read the information, he put the note on the oil lamp on the table and burned the information.

The identity of the "ant", he really does not know.

But judging from today's intelligence, it is very likely that Comrade "Ant" is hiding in the police department or in the Ministry of Industry.

"Secretary Yao, in addition to receiving and transmitting information, I can also do other work." Jiang Zhiyuan said seriously.

His enthusiasm was very high, and when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he hoped to do more work to contribute to the revolution and the Anti-Japanese War.

"Your job in the future is to be in charge of the intelligence of these two dead mailboxes. You must know that Comrade 'Ant', who handed over information to you, is a very important comrade. You have to go through the dead mailbox three times a day. In addition, you always have to be at home, and once Comrade 'Ant' contacts you, you have to be at home. Yao Yimin said.

Tian Nanchen attaches great importance to "ants", and after transferring the organizational relationship, the file was not transferred.

At the same time, only two dead mailboxes and two connector codes were given.

Also, let the city party committee provide a reliable phone number.

Tian Nanchen specially advised that the phone must be manned 24 hours a day, and once the "ants" call, there must be an emergency.

Although Yao Yimin didn't say anything about this, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Could it be that Tian Nanchen's intelligence agent has to enjoy special treatment?

However, after seeing today's information, Yao Yimin felt that this "ant" comrade was indeed very important.

He must be in a very sensitive position, he doesn't know his identity, it must not be that Tian Nanchen wants to keep it secret, and Lu wants to better protect the identity of the "ant".

"Then I'll go five times a day, no, ten." Jiang Zhiyuan said firmly.

"The more you go, the more likely you go, might get someone's attention. Three trips a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, one more trip is not enough, and one less trip is not good. Don't underestimate this task, it's very arduous and dangerous, and people who don't have a strong revolutionary will can't be trusted. Yao Yimin said solemnly.

"I will definitely be able to do it, and no matter how much I sacrifice myself, I will never divulge the secrets of the organization." Jiang Zhiyuan said firmly.

Lu Chengzhou's worries were confirmed the next day.

"Yishibao" published an article exposing the truth about the Japanese secret service entering the British concession.

Not only did the address of the gendarmerie detachment be written in the newspaper, but a photograph was taken.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, and Ryodai Nakayama was furious and demanded that the person in charge of the newspaper be severely punished.

Yishibao is a Chinese daily newspaper published by the Roman Catholic Church in China.

It is also one of the well-known newspapers in Haigu, which is relatively neutral in politics and does not support either the CCP or the KMT.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yishibao's position was very clear: resolutely resist aggression, defend national sovereignty, and become one of the most fierce newspapers in China against Japanese aggression.

Previously, Yishi Bao had published several anti-Japanese articles, exposing Japan's atrocities in Haigu.

It's just that "Yishi Bao" has long been moved to the Italian concession, and the Japanese can't do anything about him for a while.

Today's "Yishi Daily", Lu Chengzhou also read it.

He didn't know who leaked the news, but the person who leaked the news must have hated the Japanese.

"Cheng Zhou, I guess you will have something to do later." Wen Jingzai also took today's "Yishi Bao" and went to Lu Chengzhou's office.

"What do I have to do?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.

"If nothing else, someone will definitely go there and make trouble. If I were you, I would definitely prepare in advance. At the very least, there is a sufficient police presence. Wen Jingzai reminded.

There were many patriots gathered in the concession, and they were in the urban area, but they couldn't help the Japanese.

But in the concessions, the Japanese were equal to them.

Full of anger, there is nowhere to vent? Knowing that the Japanese dared to come to the British Concession, it was strange that they didn't come to the door?

"No, I'll have to report this to the authorities." Lu Chengzhou suddenly realized that what Wen Jingzai said was very reasonable.

"It hasn't happened yet, what are you anxious about?" Liu Lifeng's attitude was very ambiguous, leaning on the back of the chair, and said unhurriedly.

"The Japanese have guns in their hands, they can do anything, and I am afraid that the Chinese will suffer." Lu Chengzhou said.

Of course, he understood Liu Lifeng's thoughts, and if someone made trouble with the Japanese, they would definitely not want to care.

Liu Lifeng can ignore it, but Lu Chengzhou can't care about it.

At the very least, he had to put on a pretense of duty.

However, Lu Chengzhou knew that if Japan was really provoked, it would definitely be those patriots who would suffer.

"In this case, you gather your men first, and if the situation is not right, maintain order immediately." When Liu Lifeng heard this, he changed his words.

If the Chinese suffer a loss during the protest, he will not allow it.

"Understood." Lu Chengzhou said.

He immediately informed Jia Ming, as well as several of his inspectors, to send six patrols to each of the other five streets.

Subsequently, Lu Chengzhou personally went to Comber South Road and found Wang Siguang.

"Wang Siguang, there may be an accident at No. 22 Combernan Road today, and I have already asked other streets to transfer brothers over. You find a place to settle them nearby, and if the situation is not right, call the police immediately. Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.

At noon, people gathered at the gate of No. 22 South Comber Road.

As time went on, more and more people gathered.

Lu Chengzhou and Wang Siguang were in a teahouse in the distance, keeping an eye on the development of the situation at any time.

"Inspector, there are more and more people, do you want to disperse?" Wang Siguang asked worriedly.

"What's the hurry, go now, the people outside will hate us, and the people inside won't be grateful to us. Call a pot of tea, serve two plates of snacks, and wait slowly. Lu Chengzhou said disapprerovingly.

He has dozens of patrols on standby, and no matter what happens, he can control the situation.
