Lu Chengzhou returned to Ren'anli, changed back into a suit, and went back to the dormitory near Gordon Hall for the night.

In order to cope with temporary emergencies, all patrol officers are required to stay overnight in the dormitory. Lu Chengzhou has just joined the work, and he is also the inspector, and he usually has to live in the dormitory at night.

The inspector in the same dormitory as Lu Chengzhou is called Liao Zhendong, who is not tall, and his face is a little pointed, like a monkey.

He has been in the police force for six or seven years, and has been following Yuen Kin Gong and has a deep relationship with the local gangs.

This gentleman will not come back in the middle of the night, and every time he comes back, he is full of alcohol.

Lu Chengzhou has been in the police department for three months, and he has not met him head-on three times.

And the communication with Liao Zhendong is not as much as that of Yan Hairong next door.

After Lu Chengzhou returned to the dormitory, Liao Zhendong really hadn't come back yet.

Lu Chengzhou didn't care, he was paid today, if Liao Zhendong was in the dormitory, he would feel strange.

Lying on the bed, Lu Chengzhou couldn't sleep for a long time.

He's examining himself!

Zhang Fengxin's behavior is so strange that he has not noticed it.

Especially after following Zhang Fengxin, he didn't immediately realize that his identity was suspicious, which made Lu Chengzhou very ashamed.

Since secretly joining the party, Lu Chengzhou has always reminded himself to be cautious everywhere and keep his eyes open.

However, when things really happen, there is no due vigilance.

Lu Chengzhou's schedule is relatively regular, no matter how late he sleeps, he will wake up on time at half past six in the morning.

Go outside for two laps, then come back to wash up, change into a formal police uniform and go out on patrol the streets.

Last night, he fell asleep very late, and in addition to examining himself, he was still speculating about Zhang Fengxin's true identity.

Zhang Fengxin is definitely not an ordinary businessman, and there must be other identities behind the owner of Guangfa Hotel. If Zhang Fengxin was just engaged in illegal business and wanted to pull himself into the water, Lu Chengzhou would not be too worried.

Lu Chengzhou's biggest concern was that Zhang Fengxin would have a relationship with the Japanese.

Although he didn't sleep much last night, Lu Chengzhou, who put on a police uniform, still went to No. 24 Road in good spirits.

Lu Chengzhou is the inspector, and his main responsibility is to be responsible for the security of Road 24.

At each of the four intersections, two patrols are arranged. The remaining four patrolmen, under the leadership of Lu Chengzhou, are responsible for patrolling the entire road.

If there is no special task above, Lu Chengzhou's work is still very easy.

As the Governor of Route 24, the entire road was under his jurisdiction.

The shops on this road, including hotels, tea houses, grocery stores, trading houses, foreign companies, and residences, are all within his inspection.

For three months, Lu Chengzhou tried to get acquainted with everyone on No. 24 Road.

Lu Chengzhou worked very hard when he was studying, and after he arrived at the police department, he also used this energy in his work.

He wanted to write down all the information of all the residents and people on Road 24 as if he had memorized English words in the first place.

Of course, three months is not enough time for him to memorize them all.

However, more than half of the personnel files, he has an impression.

When he was about to leave work in the evening, Lu Chengzhou walked from the east end of No. 24 Road to the west end.

While other inspectors usually make two rounds a day, he makes four trips.

Sometimes, as long as the patrol officer walks on the road, it is a deterrent to the criminal.

The 500 patrolmen in the entire British Concession basically stayed on the streets during the day, and there were people at every intersection.

In case of an emergency, as soon as the whistle is blown, the nearby patrol will come immediately.

After a long time, the police car of the police force will carry people to come to support.

Of the four current concessions in Haigu, there are no casinos in the British Concession, and no tobacco houses are allowed to openly, so security is the best.

Of course, just because law and order is good doesn't mean there is no crime.

Because there were many wealthy people living in the British Concession, kidnapping cases in the British Concession occurred from time to time.

Ten years ago, there were only more than 200 people patrolling the British Concession, but now, there are nearly 500 people.

The number of personnel in the entire police force has reached 700.

Lu Chengzhou's last trip, only halfway through, it was already time to get off work.

But Lu Chengzhou still decided to finish this trip.

Lu Chengzhou walked on the road, his eyes swept around, carefully observing the pedestrians on the road.

It is said that there are some powerful detectives in the detective unit, and when they encounter a criminal suspect, they can know whether they have committed a crime by looking at it.

When Lu Chengzhou was about to reach the 15th, he suddenly saw two sneaky people on the opposite side.

He walked briskly, but the two men suddenly turned around and turned into a small alley.

When ordinary people see the patrol, they will only smile humbly, and at most they will bow their heads timidly.

Like this, there must be something wrong with running almost out of the legs.

Lu Chengzhou has been an inspector for three months, and he still has this experience.

Lu Chengzhou immediately chased into the alley, but lost the two figures.

This alley is connected to several streets, even if Lu Chengzhou has a heart, he is powerless.

Moreover, he only saw half of the other party's face, and did not notice their criminal behavior.

You can't just take them back to the patrol house just because you're hiding from yourself.

After returning to No. 24 Road, Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to call the nearby patrol, but now that it was past the end of work, the patrol at the intersection had already left.

After returning to the dormitory, I changed my clothes and after eating, it was already completely dark.

Lu Chengzhou remembered Zhang Fengxin's affairs in his heart, and took advantage of the darkness to go to Ren'anli again.

He already has doubts about Zhang Fengxin's identity, of course he has to find out.

However, he stayed outside the Guangfa Hotel until midnight and found no anomalies. Except for the glass at the door, Zhang Fengxin's figure can be seen occasionally, and nothing else has been found.

Lu Chengzhou didn't think that Zhang Fengxin's identity could be found out in one night. But there was no harvest tonight, and it will be back tomorrow night. He has time and patience.

The next day, when he arrived at the patrol room, Lu Chengzhou received a notice that someone had come to report the case this morning, and Sun Baoquan at No. 12 No. 24 Road was kidnapped at the door of his house yesterday evening.

When Lu Cheng heard about the case on Monday, he immediately remembered that he had seen those two people on the 15th yesterday afternoon. The 15th is diagonally opposite the 12th, and there, is the perfect place to observe the 12th.

But at this time, Lu Chengzhou no longer had the heart to think about it.

As fast as he could, he rushed to the big mansion at No. 12 on No. 24 Road.

Sun Baoquan is a clerk of Jardine Matheson, and his elder brother Sun Zhuling is a comprador of Jardine Matheson.

This courtyard is a three-story Western-style house, and Lu Chengzhou has to pass by the door four times a day.

When I arrived today, the door opened, and there was a group of people inside who were questioning.

Lu Chengzhou walked in and was about to greet the person in charge, but the other party suddenly saw him.

Lu Chengzhou noticed that the other party's eyes were full of contempt.

"Inspector Road, just leave the matter to us here." In addition to the leader, it was Detective Wen Xiufeng, who was in charge of the case, and without waiting for Lu Chengzhou to speak, he waved his hand and said impatiently.

Wen Xiufeng looks dignified, and the people in the detective unit don't need to wear police uniforms, he likes to wear suits, top hats, and sometimes a civilized stick.

Wen Xiufeng admires Western detective skills and is said to have studied police in the United Kingdom.

When he interrogated the prisoners, there must be a typewriter next to him, and the main points of the interrogation were typed on paper.

The people of the police department called him a fake foreign devil behind his back.

"Don't need our help?" Although Lu Chengzhou couldn't get used to Wen Xiufeng's attitude, he still asked.

The case took place on No. 24 Road, which is the jurisdiction of Lu Chengzhou.

At the same time, the victim was Sun Baoquan, the younger brother of Sun Zhuling, a comprador of Jardine Matheson.

Lu Chengzhou was in the patrol room and had already received an order from his boss Ruan Jian Gong to go all out to cooperate with the investigation of the Detective Unit.

"If you don't help, it won't help solve the case. Instead of adding to the chaos, it is better to do your job. Wen Xiufeng glanced at Lu Chengzhou, with a look of contempt, and said lightly.

"Can I tell Inspector Ruan what he said?" Lu Chengzhou said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The "Inspector Ruan" he referred to, whose big name was Nguyen Chien Gong, was the patrol leader in charge of this area.

Lu Chengzhou has twelve patrols under him, and above the inspector there are deputy inspectors, and above the deputy inspector is the inspector, and the inspector and the inspector are of the same rank.

The reason why Wen Xiufeng was arrogant in front of Lu Chengzhou was not only because the case happened on No. 24 Road, and Lu Chengzhou had an unshirkable responsibility, but also because the two were not equal in level, and he was two levels higher than Lu Chengzhou.

"Don't use Ruan Jiangong to pressure me, your task is to patrol, if you do your own thing, there will be no such kidnapping." Wen Xiufeng was irritated by Lu Chengzhou's attitude and said with a sneer.

The security of this area is the responsibility of patrolling.

Now that there is a case, it can only be said that Lu Chengzhou has not fulfilled his responsibilities.

Of course, patrols can only pretend, and if they really want to handle the case, they have to be detectives.

"Tigers have a nap time, and before the crime is committed, who knows that there will be a kidnapping. We patrol and hunt, and we will not predict the prophet. Ruan Jiangong suddenly walked over from behind and took Lu Chengzhou's words.

Ruan Jiangong is tall and big, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and bright eyes.

He has been serving in the police force for ten years, starting from the C-class patrol, although he has not read much, but his qualifications are older than Wen Xiufeng.

"Inspector Ruan." When Lu Chengzhou heard Ruan Jiangong's voice, he immediately saluted him and said respectfully.

He had actually seen Ruan Jiangong a long time ago, otherwise, he would not have said such things to Wen Xiufeng.

No matter what Ruan Jiangong thinks of himself, he will only point the finger at Wen Xiufeng now.

Ruan Jiangong did have the intention of criticizing Lu Chengzhou, but after listening to Wen Xiufeng's words, psychologically, he immediately stood on Lu Chengzhou's side.

Can't handle cases if you patrol and arrest? He didn't dare to say that in his hands, he had handled several beautiful cases.

Otherwise, he will not be promoted to the rank of inspector.

"This case has been handed over to the Detective Unit from above, and the subordinates are in charge, so you don't need to meddle anymore." When Wen Xiufeng saw Ruan Jiangong, there was no guilt on his face, but he said eloquently.

"In that case, we don't want to get involved in this case yet. Lu Chengzhou, you take your men to duty. Ruan Jiangong said coldly.

"Yes." Lu Chengzhou said in a deep voice.
