Chapter 202 Information Trading

After reading the contents on the note, Lao Zhou returned the pistol to Lin Hui and said with a smile:

"You can keep this gun for yourself, with a magazine for self-defense. It's a good thing. As for Mudan, I have other plans, so you don't have to worry.

Now that you have been exposed, you are not suitable to appear in Pingbeicheng again. You can temporarily go to the rear and study with your old comrades. "

"Yes, I obey the organization's arrangements."

Lin Hui said immediately.

Then Lao Zhou sealed the note with wax, put it in an old bamboo tube filled with water, and arranged for someone to send the message to the rear.

After daybreak, a scream came from the back alley, attracting the patrolling gendarmerie. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers that Ripple had solved were completely exposed.

Lin Hui's residence was already empty. When Miyata received the news and arrived with his men, he looked at the lifeless Imperial soldiers and felt angry:

"Baga! What's going on? Why didn't you report something to me?"

"Sir, these are the action group. They are probably ambushing here to catch big fish, but they just overestimated their own strength."

The deputy glanced at the corpses that had been arranged in a row, and could only take a step forward and explain in a low voice.

The action team and their intelligence section had always been at odds. The officer in charge of the operation was killed, which made the action team criticize them. They thought their intelligence was lagging behind, so they started investigating on their own, hoping to avenge their commander.

They actually found some clues. At that time, Lin Hui was secretly collecting information about some senior Japanese military officers. Without communicating with Miyata, they secretly controlled Lin Hui and prepared to wait and see, but the entire army was wiped out.

Miyata's face was gloomy. In his eyes, the action team was a group of well-developed limbs. This pile of corpses proved his judgment. Now that he was involved, the clues were cut off and he was able to alert the snake. , that intelligence broker will definitely not show up again.

Miyata was busy dealing with the mess of the action team, and at the same time arranged for his deputies to interview people in the action team who were not involved in the operation, hoping to get some useful information.

After finishing the last class, Lianyi went to the school affairs office to report her whereabouts, and was about to meet Mr. Wu.

"Hello, Principal Wu!"

"Teacher Wu, when are you going to leave?"

Wu Lao asked, leaning on his ebony cane.

"Principal Wu, my hometown is not peaceful, so I won't go back for the time being. I have been looking at houses recently, planning to rent one and then stay in Pingbei. After classes resume, I won't have to travel back and forth. I am very satisfied with this job. satisfy."

Ripple explained.

"Hey! The world is in chaos, and nowhere is stable. It's really not appropriate for a girl like you to go out alone."

Principal Wu sighed with emotion, and then asked:

"Have you found a house?"

"Not yet! The rent for a high-security house is too high and I can't afford it. The cheap place is mixed with dragons and snakes, so it is not suitable for a single woman to live. I have looked at many places in the past few days, but I haven't found anything suitable."

Ripple helplessly spread his hands.

"I have an apartment on Hongfei Road that I can rent to you."

Principal Wu was afraid that Lianyi would refuse, so he directly said it was rent.

"The rent on Hongfei Road is not cheap. I have seen a few of them before."

Ripple said a little embarrassed.

"Teacher Wu has helped me, so I will naturally give you a suitable price. It won't embarrass you and I won't suffer a loss. What do you think?"

Wu Lao said with a smile.

Lianyi immediately thanked him gratefully and accepted the other party's help. This was obviously because Principal Wu was taking care of her and for the sake of saving her life, so she didn't show any pretense.

The next day, Ripple packed her luggage and moved to the apartment. It was a two-story small Western-style building with a small garden. The residents nearby were all wealthy people. Judging from the clothes of these people, You can tell.

The house was very clean and tidy, and the various furnishings looked very low-key and luxurious. At first glance, it was used to entertain guests. Ripple was very satisfied with the furnishings.

She calculated the time, went out, and spent a small yellow croaker to buy some daily necessities and food to stock up. In a few days, a small yellow croaker might not be able to buy much.

Three days later, newspapers on the streets published a joint statement from the three countries, urging Japan to surrender as soon as possible and evacuate the occupied territories of other countries as soon as possible. Japan still ignored it and even accelerated the pace of plunder.

Ripple looked at the newspaper in his hand and sighed helplessly. Blind persistence would only harm more innocent people.

That night she changed into men's clothes and went to visit John Leigh. The person at the door was very cautious and did not let Ripple in easily.

She just handed the ruby ​​tie clip to the gatekeeper and said:

"Please give this to Mr. Johnley, and he will meet with me."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The gatekeeper closed the door and went to make the announcement.

After a while, Ripple successfully entered John Lee's residence.

When he walked into the study, Lianyi took off the black top hat that covered most of his face and said with a smile:

"Mr. Johnley, long time no see!"

"Miss Peony, I wonder what the purpose of your visit today is?"

John Leigh kept a certain distance, sat behind the desk, held a gun in his hand, and said with a cold face.

Because of this woman, he has lost several intelligence officers. Last time, he was detained by Japan and monitored him for a long time.

"Of course we are negotiating a deal with Mr. Johnley."

Ripple sat casually on a set of sofas in front of the desk and said with a smile.

"What deal?"

"I have here the specific date when the Japanese announced their surrender, as well as the time when they evacuated Pingbei. I wonder if you are interested."

"It's just a matter of time, it doesn't mean anything to me."

John Leigh was not very satisfied with this information.

"They are not leaving empty-handed."

Ripple pointed out the important point.

"Can you get their specific retreat route?"

Johnli asked with a flash of his eyes.

"Of course, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to come."

Lianyi leaned on the back of the sofa and nodded in admission.

"what do you want?"

"A piece of information."

"about what?"

"The specific time and place of the arms transaction with the Kuomintang."

After hearing Ripple's answer, Johnli's pupils shrank slightly, and then he shook his head and said:

"I don't have this information at hand"

"Puch!" Ripple laughed out loud, and then started to recite the contents of the arms agreement she had seen when she sneaked into John Lee's study that day.

She only made the beginning, and before she could recite the specific terms, John Lee interrupted loudly:

"Where did you get this information?"

"You don't need to know this, just know that I paid a price that is enough to make the other party's heart flutter."

Ripple flicked the non-existent dust on the man's top hat and replied casually.

"."

John Lee knew that he was being led away, and asking about the source of intelligence was also a taboo in their profession.

"I will give you ten days to think about it. As long as you agree, I will give you the specific information on the withdrawal of the Japanese troops. I will contact you after you get the specific time for the arms transaction."
