Chapter 205: The Grace of a Meal
While waiting for the dumplings, Lu Chengzhou lit a cigarette.
He He's death was expected.
However, Lu Chengzhou still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He He was his classmate, and when he was in Xiongzhenlou, they were bunk beds and worked together at Haigu Station.
Originally, Lu Chengzhou hoped that he could join hands with He He to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Unexpectedly, He He actually came to this point.
If He He could hold on a little longer, maybe it wouldn't be like this.
"Sir, your dumplings."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Chengzhou took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and when he was about to eat, he found a man on the side of the street, looking at him in a daze.
To be precise, looking at the bowl of dumplings in front of him.
"Haven't eaten in a few days?" Lu Chengzhou beckoned to the man and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Although Lu Chengzhou was wearing a police uniform, it was already dark, and the man didn't pay attention.
In the eyes of a hungry man, he cannot see anything but food.
"I haven't gotten a drop of water for three days."
The man's steps were a little drifting, and he was so hungry that he couldn't even walk.
"Eat." Lu Chengzhou pushed the dumplings forward, and the chopsticks rested on the bowl.
"Give it to me?" The man was stunned for a moment, and a burst of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Yes, Lu Chengzhou could clearly see that the other party's eyes became brighter.
"Eat." Lu Chengzhou said softly.
"Thank you, sir." The man bowed to Lu Chengzhou, didn't take the chopsticks, grabbed the dumplings in the bowl with his hands, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Two more taels, no, a pound of dumplings." Lu Chengzhou saw the speed at which he ate dumplings, and knew that if he called two taels again, he still didn't have to eat them.
However, Lu Chengzhou still underestimated the other party's appetite.
After three catties of dumplings, the man was still unsatisfied.
"You can't eat too much, three catties of dumplings, and if you eat it again, I'm afraid your belly will burst." Lu Chengzhou took out a cigarette, and when he was about to smoke, he handed one to the other party.
"Thank you, sir, Zhang will repay this kindness in the future." Zhang Guanglin bowed heavily to Lu Chengzhou again and said gratefully.
"It's rare that you can bow to me before you eat dumplings." Lu Chengzhou nodded, bowed after eating, it was nothing.
Hungry so that his feet were weak, he could still endure not eating, and bowed and thanked him first, Lu Chengzhou felt that this person's character would definitely not be bad.
"The gentleman's kindness will be repaid." Zhang Guanglin said solemnly.
"It's going to rain, let's go back early." Lu Chengzhou looked at the sky, it was already windy, and he could smell the torrential rain.
Before he finished speaking, the rain came suddenly, like an uninvited guest, so suddenly.
The young man at the dumpling stall is also ready to close the stall and go home.
After Lu Chengzhou settled the account, he pushed his bicycle and rushed home.
opened the lock, picked up the bicycle, and when he was about to go in, he saw Zhang Guanglin hiding under the eaves of the opposite house.
"The water drops on the eaves and rains for three minutes, so come to my house for one night." Lu Chengzhou shouted loudly.
Zhang Guanglin hesitated for a moment, and finally trotted over.
Walking to the room, after Lu Chengzhou turned on the light, Zhang Guanglin saw the police uniform on Lu Chengzhou's body.
At that time, he was stunned, and stood there motionless, not daring to move.
"It turned out to be a patrolman." Zhang Guanglin has a heartfelt awe of patrolling.
"I'm not an adult, you can find a place to rest by yourself, that room should have a bed and a futon in the cupboard. I live upstairs, don't go up at will. "Lu Chengzhou is a bachelor, he never has a gang at home, except for his own room, everything else is dusty.
"Thank you, sir, I'll be out in the hallway for one night." Zhang Guanglin shook his head.
"It's so stormy outside, you're going to catch a cold." Lu Chengzhou said.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhang Guanglin insisted.
"Whatever you want." Lu Chengzhou didn't insist.
His corridor is half a zhang wide, and it is half a room, and if it is leaning to the innermost, it should not be able to rain.
"Please sir, close the door." After Zhang Guanglin closed the door of the main hall, he reminded.
Lu Chengzhou went upstairs to change his clothes and was about to go out, when he could hear Zhang Guanglin's snoring in the living room.
During this time, Zhang Guanglin has never eaten a full meal, and he has never had a good night's sleep.
In the corridor of Lu Chengzhou's yard, he doesn't have to worry about being driven away, and he doesn't have to be afraid that there will be patrols to get him, so he can sleep well with peace of mind.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but Lu Chengzhou still has to go out.
He wears a raincoat, which is more convenient in the dark.
It's just that at this time, Lu Chengzhou felt that if he had a car, he would be able to shelter himself from the wind and rain.
Actually, Lu Chengzhou didn't want to go to the gendarmerie detachment tonight, and Toyoichi Takahashi once again planted a heel, seeing that everyone was not pleasing to the eye, and going at this time would only be angry for no reason.
The slap print on Zhang Sichang's face today is the best proof.
Fortunately, after Lu Chengzhou arrived at the gendarmerie detachment, Toyoichi Takahashi had regained his calm.
"Director Lu, today's operation has failed. However, Kong Jingcun was appreciated by Liu Youjun. Overall, we still have gains. Ryoichi Nakayama could only comfort himself like this.
Kong Jingcun and He He are both their own people, and Kong Jingcun is still lurking in the military command.
But even so, it was still succeeded by the military command.
After all, Kong Jingcun was only the leader of the monitoring team, and he did not know the specific plan of the military commander.
His task was to lead He He to Ren'an, but how could he have thought that the military commander would do it halfway?
"As long as Kong Jingcun is still in the military command, we still have a chance." Lu Chengzhou nodded and agreed.
"Miao Guangyuan has been in contact with the people of the Self-Defense Association recently, can you cooperate?" Although Ryoichi Nakayama used a soliciting tone, he did not mean to solicit.
"It's incumbent." Lu Chengzhou felt a pang in his heart, did Miao Guangyuan's work actually reach the head of the North China People's Self-Defense Committee?
During this time, he rarely saw Miao Guangyuan, a traitor who claimed to be a literati, and actually hit the self-defense committee with his idea.
Miao Guangyuan used his identity to contact some people. Some of these people are still hesitant. Your mission is to put them at the service of the Great Japanese Empire. As for what to do, you can discuss it with Miao Guangyuan specifically. Ryoichi Nakayama said.
Miao Guangyuan has been doing ideological work for some people in the cultural circles of the British Concession, and some of these people are members of the Self-Defense Association.
If you can win over some of these people, it will also be a victory.
Miao Guangyuan was not in the gendarmerie detachment at night, and Lu Chengzhou discussed with him that he would have to go tomorrow.
"What about Hoga?" After Lu Chengzhou returned to the intelligence room, he asked Zhang Sichang.
"If it's buried, it's buried in the back." Zhang Sichang pointed to the back, he really didn't dare to imagine what the back garden of the gendarmerie detachment would be like in the future.
