Chapter 200 Adding Fuel to the Flames
At this time, Lianyi had changed her makeup to peony, with exquisite and gorgeous makeup, dark hair tied up in a bun, paired with a black and red peony cheongsam, and a camel-colored windbreaker, which made her look unreal.
The little beggar who called Yatou opened her big eyes with unconcealable envy, but she remembered her mission and handed over the newspaper in her hand.
Lianyi pursed her lips and smiled, took the newspaper, threw a silver dollar into the girl's arms, and said with a smile:
"Hide it well, but don't let anyone snatch it away."
The girl didn't expect this beautiful aunt to be so generous. She hurriedly stuffed the silver coins in her arms into the soles of her shoes and hid them. When she raised her head to say thank you, she had disappeared.
Ripple held the thin newspaper in her hand and turned into the alley. After returning to Hu Qian's secret safe house, she unfolded the newspaper and read it carefully.
After handing the list to Miyata, she went to the intelligence collector of the underground party and asked him to collect recent information about the four senior Japanese military officers, especially their movement trajectories and places they frequented.
She is ready to help the Kuomintang and speed up the progress of the beheading operation. She also proves to Japan the authenticity of the information she obtained, so that Miyata will not give up on her easily in the short term.
Lin Hui, who had been in direct contact with Lianyi, swallowed subconsciously when he saw Lianyi appearing in front of him, and then immediately stood up and asked:
"Miss Peony, why did you come to see me?"
"I need your help with something. Write down the names of these four people."
Lianyi sat down at the square table unceremoniously and reported the names of the four senior Japanese generals.
Lin Hui immediately found pen and paper and wrote down these names.
"Use your information network to help me collect information about these people as soon as possible, including their lifestyles, hobbies, and movement trajectories. In short, I want to know everything about these four people."
"Miss Mudan, do you need our help?"
Lin Hui was not stupid and immediately understood that these four people might be the people on the assassination list.
"No, don't get involved in this matter. You are only responsible for providing me with information."
Ripple refused directly.
"Okay, please give me a few days and I will get the detailed information."
"I believe in this. Don't attract the attention of the Kuomintang and Japanese intelligence agencies."
"I see."
After a brief exchange, Lianyi walked away without saying when he would come to collect information.
But Lin Hui did not dare to neglect. After he memorized the names of the four people, he left the small rented house to deliver the news.
Ripple returned to Hu Qian's secret safe house and pulled out a strip box from under the wooden bed. After opening it, it was revealed to be a sniper rifle. Although the model was not the latest, she had checked before and found that the gun was usable.
This sniper rifle should be part of Hu Qian's collection, and now it's a bargain for her. She plans to use the gun to complete the assassination mission this time.
Being sent to that training camp by the Kuomintang was also beneficial. She had no obstacles in the use of firearms. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was always on target. Just to maintain her character, her marks in the shooting class were barely passing.
Five days later, Lianyi left the school in the middle of the night, went to Lin Hui's residence, and obtained the collected intelligence.
"Change your accommodation."
"Am I exposed?"
Lin Hui stood up immediately.
"No, just in case."
"good."
“Where is the latest intelligence trading venue set?”
There had been a murder in Andrew's bar before, and the Japanese were watching, so the intelligence brokers must have moved to a new place.
"A Western restaurant on Modern Street is a place for dining during the day, and some small cocktail parties are held at night. They don't happen every day, but they are held about once every three or four days. Anyone who needs to exchange information will go there. The organizer behind the scenes He’s still the owner of the bar from before.”
Lin Hui replied immediately.
"I will go there to meet the boss behind the scenes in a while and give him a gift to apologize."
Ripple said with a smile.
Three days later, in the morning and afternoon of Pingbeicheng, a murder case occurred. The deceased were all Japanese military officers. This made the Japanese a little crazy, but Miyata felt mixed.
The occurrence of the murder at least confirmed that the information provided by the seemingly weak but thoughtful Teacher Wu was true. The two people who died that day were both people on the assassination list. However, even if they knew about it and were prepared, they still let The other party succeeded.
Adjutant Wei and Yilin on the other side were also puzzled. They were responsible for the assassination in the morning, but although the Japanese officer who died in the afternoon was on the list, it was not theirs.
"Adjutant Wei, who did this? I heard he was killed with one shot!"
Yilin frowned.
"I don't know, at least it's not ours. The beheading operation was carried out by members of the special operations team. The superior officer gave us full authority for this task. Unless our operation fails, other departments will not be arranged to take over."
Adjutant Wei's words were very firm.
"Our list is still leaked. Do we still need to act as planned?"
Yilin frowned and asked worriedly.
"No matter who the opponent is, he did not stop our actions. It can be said that he is helping us. The plan remains as usual, and the speed must be accelerated. Japan has lost the frontal battlefield and is ready to surrender."
"I see."
In the days that followed, every time the Kuomintang carried out an assassination operation, there would almost be an assassination that was not led by them. This made the Japanese even more crazy. They frequently arranged for people to inquire about the news, but they found nothing. Seeing the names on the list Names died one by one, and the only three senior generals on the list have canceled all outings and are spending their days huddled in the Japanese headquarters in Pingbei.
"This is a bit troublesome. Hiding in the shell and not coming out makes the assassination more difficult."
Ripple looked at the newspaper in his hand, frowned and said to himself.
Miyata has been busy catching assassins recently and hasn't contacted her for a long time. The Kuomintang people who monitored her have also withdrawn to only two people. It can be seen that when nothing was discovered, they also became loose. This made Ripple's actions went much smoother.
As the current situation in Pingbei became more and more chaotic, Principal Wu decided to temporarily suspend classes to allow students who were not in Pingbei to leave this maelstrom. There were fewer and fewer people attending classes, and there were not many classes scheduled in Ripple. Soon the school was closed. , she must leave too.
So she contacted Adjutant Wei and asked for advice whether she should return to her hometown temporarily or stay in Pingbeicheng.
Adjutant Wei didn't know what his mentality was, but he didn't let her leave. He asked her to rent a house and stay in Pingbeicheng to continue collecting intelligence.
Lianyi knew that the Kuomintang's suspicion of her had not been dispelled, so he wanted to keep her under his nose. She nodded unhappily, and then continued to do her own thing in the name of looking for a house.
That night, Ripple went to Lin Hui's new residence, but before he even got close, he realized that something was wrong around him.
