Chapter 17: The Tail
Lu Chengzhou walked in front without hurry, and didn't seem to notice that there was someone behind.
The person who followed Lu Chengzhou has been waiting for an opportunity, and a few days ago, he followed Lu Chengzhou all the way after work.
It's just that he hasn't found a chance in the past few days, Lu Chengzhou is ghostly, and if he is not careful, he will disappear.
But today, Lu Chengzhou seemed to have something on his mind, he quickly leaned in, and under the cover of the newspaper in his hand, he stretched out his hand to Lu Chengzhou's pocket.
However, his wrist was suddenly grabbed, and he was so frightened that he used all his strength to pull out his hand and run.
Lu Chengzhou didn't expect that this person's hand would slip like a loach, and he let him slip away without paying attention.
Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou prepared a backhand.
Ma Ping used the strength to eat, he met with Lu Chengzhou, this time it was planted, and in the future, he had to hide outside the British Concession for a while.
Ma Ping was rejoicing that when Lu Chengzhou didn't catch up, he suddenly bumped into something under his feet, stumbled, and almost rolled on the ground.
Suddenly, he felt a strong force coming from his abdomen, and his thin body almost flew up.
"Boy, don't open your dog's eyes to see, it's actually stolen from the police." A stout young man with a contemptuous look on his face.
The volley just now is his masterpiece.
"Uncle, the little one is blind, save you with your noble hand and spare me once." Ma Ping looked at the other party and knew that he was also from the police department, so he hurriedly said.
"Whether you spare you or not, it's not for me to have the final say."
Seeing Lu Chengzhou coming over, he immediately straightened his chest and saluted, and respectfully escorted: "Good patrol." ”
"Good work, Wang Siguang." Lu Chengzhou nodded.
Wang Siguang is two years older than Lu Chengzhou and is a first-class patrol on No. 24 Road.
When Lu Chengzhou first entered the police department, Wang Siguang followed Lu Chengzhou closely and was regarded as Lu Chengzhou's right-hand man.
This time, just in case, Lu Chengzhou arranged for Wang Siguang to follow behind, which really came in handy.
"What did the patrol say?" Wang Siguang said with a smile.
"I've been with me for a few days, how much money have you charged?" Lu Chengzhou stood in front of Ma Ping and asked coldly.
"Wronged, I'm so blind, I actually touched the uncle, and I won't dare to do it again." Ma Ping was lying on the ground, suddenly holding Lu Chengzhou's legs, crying bitterly.
"Say, what gang and what is it?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
In the whole Haigu, including the British Concession, all kinds of robbers, thieves, and pickpockets emerged in an endless stream, not only organized, but also with their own "rules".
The so-called "thieves have thieves' companions, thieves have thieves' gangs", these trades, gang branches, each has its own set, each doing its own thing.
In the British Concession, in addition to the local faction, there were also Jiangbei Gang, Anhui Gang, Zhejiang Gang, Guangdong Gang, etc.
And in each gang, it is divided into what money to eat.
For example, if a person who is bold and not afraid of death becomes a robber and eats "clear money", Li Yuhua's kidnapping group belongs to eating "clear money".
And those who are flexible with their hands and feet will eat "foreign fire money", that is, be a pickpocket.
There are also those who have fast eyes and legs, and they specialize in "running to the top palace", which is to take advantage of the fact that when the tram and bus are just opened, they will snatch people's hats from the car.
There is also a kind of "running wheel", which specializes in stealing luggage and goods.
"The kid has no door and no faction, he just came out to eat." Ma Ping was shocked when he heard Lu Chengzhou's question, but he didn't dare to show it on his face at all.
"Wang Siguang, you take him back to the police department for careful interrogation, find out the details and report to me." Lu Chengzhou said that he still had to go to see Li Xiangxue, but he didn't have time to waste on Ma Ping.
"Uncle, I'm really wronged." Ma Ping shouted.
Lu Chengzhou ignored him anymore, waved his hand and let Wang Siguang carry him back as if he were a chicken.
Ma Ping followed him for a few days, and he definitely didn't just want to steal his belongings.
Besides, he has followed him since Gordon Hall, knowing his identity, and daring to do it, isn't it that the birthday boy hanged himself, and his life is too long?
Perhaps, if Wang Siguang is arrested, the person behind him will naturally surface.
Lu Chengzhou did not follow back to the police department, the military commander would do it at any time, and he had to notify the organization quickly.
"Teacher Li, will Gu Richang be in danger? Why hasn't he transferred yet? After Lu Chengzhou saw Li Xiangxue, he asked impatiently.
"The several batches of weapons handled by him have not yet arrived in Haigu. If he had withdrawn, the weapons might not have been received, and the party's losses would have been significant. In addition, he had not yet met with the anti-Chiang anti-Japanese representatives in Guangxi, and could not be evacuated for the time being. Li Xiangxue said with a deep groan.
"What if the military commander suddenly makes a move?" Lu Chengzhou rushed to the road.
"Yes, this question has been told to him many times by the organization. But Comrade Gu Richang ignored the danger and insisted on staying and working. Li Xiangxue sighed and said.
"What about Comrade Tian Nanchen? Should you evacuate? Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Don't worry, Comrade Tian Nanchen is safe." Li Xiangxue said noncommittally.
There are some things that can't be told to Lu Chengzhou, not because he doesn't believe him, but because of the organizational principles.
"Teacher Li, if you can, you should ask Comrade Gu Richang not to go, or go to the National Hotel or Huizhong Hotel less. Oxford Villa No. 3 is still very safe. If you really can't, you can ask for a 'petition police'. Lu Chengzhou said.
The so-called "petitioning police" refers to the public security protection given by the Ministry of Industry Bureau to some special personnel, and as long as the Ministry of Industry Bureau pays the money, the Ministry of Industry Bureau can hire the "petitioning police" to stand guard in front of the house and protect the courtyard.
"I'll report this to my superiors." Li Xiangxue nodded, Lu Chengzhou's proposal is indeed worth considering.
"It has to be fast." Lu Chengzhou rushed to the road.
After returning to Gordon Hall, Lu Chengzhou went to Wang Siguang to ask about the interrogation.
"Patrol seats, people have been sent to the detention center." Wang Siguang said helplessly.
"So fast? Who is he? Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
Suspects caught after work are usually locked up in patrol rooms and sent to the detention center tomorrow.
"It was arranged by Nguyen Patrol. The suspect only said that his name was Ma Ping, and he was a new man, and without asking too much, Ruan Xunzao ordered the person to be sent to the detention center. Wang Siguang whispered.
"I see, you go and rest." Lu Chengzhou heard that it was Ruan Jiangong who asked, and he didn't say anything more, he already knew in his heart that this Ma Ping should have nothing to do with Wen Xiufeng.
In the following days, Lu Chengzhou often paid attention to the situation at Oxford Villa 3.
Every morning, after he finished patrolling No. 24 Road, he would stop by Xinhua Road and ask the patrol at the intersection about the situation of Oxford Villa.
At noon, when Gu Richang left Oxford Villa, Lu Chengzhou would also appear nearby on time and follow secretly, until Gu Richang left the British Concession and turned back.
As for the evening, Lu Chengzhou usually waited for Gu Richang to come back and entered Oxford Villa 3 before going back.
Of course, when Gu Richang came back, it was usually midnight.
Therefore, Lu Chengzhou often appears on Xinhua Road after 11 o'clock in the evening.
"Lu Cheng Zhoujun."
When Lu Chengzhou came back from Xinhua Road at noon, he had just walked to No. 24 Road when he suddenly heard someone shouting to him.
Looking back, Lu Chengzhou's face showed a look of surprise, and he recognized that this was his Japanese instructor Kawasaki Hiroshi at the Haigu Police Training Center.
"Kawasaki-sensei, how did you have time to come here?" Lu Chengzhou hurriedly walked over, raised his head and saluted, and said respectfully.
In the Haigu Police Training Institute, in addition to the British instructor Kleisenqi, there is also the Japanese instructor Kawasaki Hiroshi.
