The leader was the consul of the Japanese consulate. He went in and negotiated with the British police officer for a while, then signed a document and took all the Japanese away.

The Japanese who shot the gun was also released, and the consul asked him to be responsible for taking away the corpses of the Japanese ronin, which was regarded as punishment.

Because it was all entanglements between the Japanese, the British Concession simply handed over the case to the Japanese side in line with the principle that more things are worse than less things, and they have full power to handle them.

Lu Ming didn't linger after he came out and went home directly.

Although there was no danger, he still felt a little palpitation. This incident told him that he must carry a gun when going out in the future, no matter whether he can use it or not.

Back at the apartment, he continued to carefully examine the printed photos, trying to find some clues, but he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, there was a smiling Soviet Mr. Andrei standing at the door.

"Mr. Lu, are the three apartments you rented available?" Andre asked politely.

"Those three suites are all empty, what's the matter?"

"Then can you sublet it to me? I have two colleagues who came from China and I can't find a suitable place for the time being."

"You can choose one of the three rooms. I have paid three months' rent, and you don't have to pay me the three months' rent. After three months, you can renew the rent yourself." Lu Ming laughed. .

He had a good impression of Andre, and he had been looking for another chance to talk to him about the Soviet Union, and it happened that he found him.

"Thank you very much." Andre was overjoyed, imitating a Chinese and clapping his hands, "Mr. Lu, can I go in and have a few words with you?"

"Of course, but I don't have vodka in my room, let alone black bread and pickles." Lu Ming laughed.

Andre couldn't help laughing, thinking that Lu Ming was very humorous.

Andre came in and sat on a chair, looked at Lu Ming for a while, and asked directly, "Mr. Lu, what do you believe in?"

"Faith? Why do you ask me this?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

The Chinese have never asked questions like this. If a Chinese has faith, it will gradually be revealed in his speech and behavior.

"Everyone has a belief. For example, the Soviets either believe in communism, or believe in Orthodox Christianity, or believe in God. Anyway, you have to believe in something, right?"

"I don't have any beliefs." Lu Ming didn't think about this question at all, so he couldn't answer it clearly.

"Impossible, how can people have no faith? Don't you people in the government of the Republic of China believe in the Three-Democratic-Principles?"

"I'm not a member of the Nationalist Party, and I don't believe in the Three Principles of the People, and of course I don't object." Lu Ming could only answer in this way.

When it comes to belief, Lu Ming is indeed very confused. Before going abroad, he believed in the ancient Chinese thought, that is, heaven, earth, monarch, parent, teacher, and the most holy teacher, the sage Confucius.

After studying abroad, he was exposed to too many doctrines and ideas, but he was a little at a loss.

Of course Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s Three-Democracy-Principia is good, but he thinks it’s too general. It’s just a part of Lincoln’s thought. If China can really fully realize it, it’s of course a good thing.

However, after returning to China, he discovered that the Three Principles of the People may not be applicable to China, and it is likely to become a weapon in the hands of the party stick, rather than a real political ideology, let alone a government policy.

Relatively speaking, what he admires most is the political system and legal system of the United States, but the national conditions are so different that they cannot be replicated in China. If they are forcibly replicated, it may lead to the division of the country or even its extinction.

As for the ideas and systems of Britain and France, they are basically the same.

He also came into contact with Mussolini's fascism, and felt that it was simply an inhuman thought.Not to mention the Nazi trend of thought derived from fascism.

"Mr. Lu, are you interested in joining our organization and becoming a Bolshevik?" Andre asked with a smile.

"You want me to be your spy?" Lu Ming's face became a little weird.

"No, don't get me wrong, just join our organization, not be a spy, we Bolsheviks are revolutionaries, not spies." Andre laughed.

"I have no idea of ​​joining any party or organization for now, thank you for your kindness." Lu Ming laughed.

"I know Mr. Lu's general idea is that he wants to be a person without party or affiliation, so that he has no restraint, but under the trend of history, everyone must find their own position, and it is impossible and undesirable to keep a clean life unless You follow the example of the ancients and be a hermit. I will get you some Bolshevik books, mainly the classics of Comrade Lenin, and you can read them first." Andrei laughed.

"Forget it, this is a red book that is strictly prohibited by the authorities, Mr. Andre, please don't hurt me." Lu Ming half-jokingly said.

"Mr. Lu, I believe that others are afraid of this. You won't be afraid. Besides, this is Wanguo Apartment, and the government of the Republic of China can't reach in." Andre laughed loudly.

Lu Ming was noncommittal.

In fact, he came into contact with these works when he was studying in the United States.

The October Revolution in Russia shocked the world, and a new political power was born in the East, which made the capitalist powers in Europe and America panic.In their eyes, the nascent Soviet regime was no different from a scourge, or even a plague virus.

After discussions among the Western powers, they came up with a bad idea. With Poland, Romania, Finland and other countries as boundaries, they established a isolation zone to completely isolate the red Soviet Union from the outside, intending to let it fend for itself.

The Soviet regime did not disappear automatically as the West imagined, but continued to grow and develop, and the trend of communism went to the whole world.

Throughout Europe, communism and fascism have formed two camps, which are incompatible, and each has a lot of believers.

In the United States, the influence of these thoughts is relatively small, because Americans are more pragmatic and only think about two words every day: making money.However, books on major trends of thought are still being printed every day, and have become hotly debated among the public.

Lu Ming had read some works by Lenin, Trotsky, etc., and was deeply shocked when he read them. However, when he thought about the reality in China afterwards, he felt chills, and felt that any ideas and doctrines in China were not life-saving medicine.

China's future path must do everything possible to enter industrialization as soon as possible. If it does not make up for this gap, and does not transform from an agricultural country to an industrial country as soon as possible, any doctrines and ideas will be utopian.

After returning to China, he had a soft spot for detective work, thinking that this was the best role for him to integrate into society as an individual, while ideas and doctrines were not what he wanted.

Andre did not continue to persuade, but took the key, thanked him and left.

"Is it true that people cannot maintain complete independence? I don't believe it. Aren't I living a good life now?" Lu Ming thought about Andre's words, shook his head, and decided not to be influenced by him, and continued to maintain his identity and identity. Absolute independence in personality.

He checked the photos of Sheng Muyi's boudoir again, but still couldn't get any clues, so he had to put it aside temporarily.We can only wait and see what news Sheng Youde can get from the telegram.

He suddenly thought of what Qian Tian said, Ben Zhuang Fan invited Zheng Xiaoxu to come out of the mountain, and went to Tianjin as an old minister to persuade the abdicated Xuantong Emperor Puyi to go north to the northeast. This is a dangerous signal.
