Zheng Jingyun wrote the note in fear, not understanding what Ruan Qiqi was up to.
She went to the back mountain and stuffed the note into the tree hole. There was also five dollars on the note. She gave the money to Ruan Qiqi, hoping to get a reduced sentence.
"Take the flowers and buy things as before, don't let the other party get suspicious!"
Ruan Qiqi didn't want it. Shushu had already told her that the person who stuffed the money into the tree hole was an inconspicuous cleaner in the school, a man in his fifties, an old widower. Everyone called him Master Lou.
The next time she slipped a note, Ruan Qiqi asked her to write—
"Ruan Qiqi and I have become close friends. She told me a lot of her innermost thoughts. Although she married an officer, it was only a superficial glory. The officer's family looked down on her and she didn't hand over her salary. No wonder she was so eager for money. She was very strong, several times stronger than a middle-aged man. By chance, she caught a very powerful enemy spy and received a bonus of 100 yuan. She was very happy. Unfortunately, such good things don't happen every day. She was very regretful!"
Zheng Jingyun didn't dare to ask more questions, so she just wrote down the instructions and went to fill the tree hole, earning another five dollars.
That night, everyone in the dormitory was asleep. Ruan Qiqi put on her nightgown, left the dormitory, and went to find Master Lou.
After inquiring these days, she did not find the radio in Master Lou's house. It was obvious that Master Lou had someone above him, so she kept her troops on hold and waited for Master Lou to report to his superiors.
Master Lou lives behind the school. It used to be a warehouse for sundries. Later, due to housing shortage in the school, they divided up a dozen rooms and distributed them to single teachers in the school as dormitories.
It was late at night and Master Lou's room was pitch black, but he was not asleep. He had just returned from the back mountain with a small note in his hand. He read it with a flashlight, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on his honest face.
"The eel actually died at the hands of such a greedy and stupid Chinese woman. Humph, how sad!"
Master Lou did not doubt Zheng Jingyun's information. This woman was carefully selected by them. She was vain, greedy for pleasure, good at acting, and she was Chinese. Ruan Qiqi would definitely not doubt it.
The message that Eel passed back said that Ruan Qiqi was a very powerful agent of China, whose methods were extremely cruel, and the Empire must kill this woman!
Now it seems that Eel was just forcing himself to change his status to make up for his incompetence. He didn't see what was so great about Ruan Qiqi!
Master Lou burned the note and had to report the latest news about Ruan Qiqi to his superiors. Since this woman was greedy for money, he would tempt her with money and then kill her when she was off guard.
Although this woman was stupid and greedy, she must have been extremely skilled, otherwise the eel would not have died.
Master Lou smoked a cigarette. The red cigarette butt flickered in the darkness, shining on his honest face, looking particularly strange.
After finishing his cigarette, Master Lou prepared to go to bed. He limped to the bed and fell asleep with his clothes on.
It was said that his leg was injured in a bombing, so he would often curse the Japanese and say that he would never reconcile with them. The teachers and students in the school never doubted his identity.
Even Tian Yuguang is Master Lou's subordinate. All the photos taken by Tian Yuguang are handed over to Master Lou for processing. However, Tian Yuguang has never met Master Lou. He often passes by the limping Master Lou at school.
Ruan Qiqi didn't dare to get too close, fearing that Master Lou was a kung fu master like Eel.
After Master Lou fell asleep, she asked Shushu to keep an eye on him and then went back to the dormitory.
The next day, Ruan Qiqi didn't go to class and she asked for leave.
Because Master Lou went out, Shushu told her that Master Lou went out once a month and he told people at school that he was going to a mental hospital to visit his wife.
His wife was bullied by the Japanese and became mentally ill. She didn't even recognize him and would go crazy and beat anyone she saw. Master Lou had no choice but to send his wife to a mental hospital, where he would visit her every month.
Because of the tragic experience of Master Lou and his wife, as well as his steadfast loyalty to his wife, Master Lou has a very good reputation in the school, and even the principal is polite to him.
Ruan Qiqi eliminated everyone around Master Lou and finally set her sights on the mental hospital.
The mysterious superior is most likely his wife who is in a mental hospital.
Master Lou visits his wife every month, actually to pass on information. If nothing unexpected happens, the wife in the mental hospital must have a radio transmitter in her hand.
The Japanese are indeed cunning. Who would have thought that enemy spies would hide in a mental hospital.
The mental hospital was far away from the city, and Ruan Qiqi rode her bike for an hour to get there. She did not go in to look for anyone, but first asked Shushu, and soon found out about the situation of Master Lou’s wife.
"That woman went crazy every day and even jumped from the fourth floor. She almost died!"
Gossip Ginkgo knows Master Lou’s wife, who is the most troublesome patient in the hospital.
No matter how crazy other patients are, they will have moments of clarity, but this woman has been in a state of madness and has tried to end her life many times. If it weren't for the hospital's adequate supervision, this woman would have died long ago.
Ruan Qiqi frowned. If Master Lou’s wife was pretending to be crazy, she might be able to hide it from the doctor, but she would definitely not be able to hide it from Shushu.
It is impossible for people to act 24 hours a day. There will always be times when they slack off, and no one will be on guard against trees, so Master Lou’s wife is really crazy.
Then she is definitely not Master Lou’s superior.
She thought she had found the right person, but unexpectedly she found the wrong person. Ruan Qiqi was not discouraged. She was sure that this mysterious superior must be in a mental hospital.
It could be a doctor, a nurse, a cleaner, or a patient.
Master Lou had finished visiting his wife and was ready to leave. He walked slowly with a limp, greeting the medical staff along the way, appearing to be very familiar with them.
"Doctor Song!"
Master Lou greeted a doctor who was walking towards him.
The doctor was wearing a white coat, about fifty years old, wearing glasses, of medium height, and with an elegant temperament. He stopped and talked to Master Lou.
"Have you seen your lover?"
"I've seen it, but alas, you still don't recognize me!"
Master Lou sighed, looking gloomy.
"I haven't tried to commit suicide recently. Maybe I'll recognize you after a while!"
Doctor Song comforted him and patted him on the shoulder gently a few times.
"Thank you for your good words. If you can really get better, I will burn incense for you!"
Master Lou became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even wanted to kneel down and kowtow. Doctor Song quickly supported him, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
"Don't be like this, I'm a doctor, it's my duty to cure your lover, get up!"
Doctor Song helped him up and tried to comfort him, but he put one of his hands in his pocket, which contained the information he had just received from Master Lou.
"Thanks!"
Master Lou kept saying thank you, perfectly portraying an uneducated lower-class person.
He exchanged glances with Doctor Song and limped away. There was more money in his pocket, which was his working capital for this month.
Ruan Qiqi hid in the corner and saw everything clearly, not even missing the little movements between the two people.
It is obvious that Doctor Song is Master Lou's superior.
She was about to leave when Dr. Song turned his head sharply, paused for a few seconds, and walked towards her.
