Chapter 197: Loss of Troops and Generals
"A bunch of idiots. Five of them can't even keep a woman! The Empire has trained them in vain."
When Miyata saw the five people who no longer needed to be rescued, veins popped out on his forehead. This was a shame for the soldiers of their empire.
"Captain Miyata, three of them were shot dead, and the other two had their necks strangled. The rear window was wide open, and I suspect they jumped out of the window. We have arranged for people to block the back alley of the bar, and they are looking for any traces of them."
Miyata's deputy immediately stepped forward to report the situation.
"Search carefully! Ask the people here. If she shoots someone, there must be some noise. Since she didn't alarm anyone, she must have used a pistol with a silencer.
She could have left in a swagger, but she chose to jump out of the window. It must be because our arrival alarmed her, so she chose to escape.
The other party must not have gotten far in a short time. Arrange people to quickly spread out and search around here. I want to catch him alive!"
"yes!"
After listening to Miyata's analysis, the deputy reacted quickly and left the private room on the second floor. He left some people to control the intelligence brokers on the first floor and questioned them one by one, while he took the remaining soldiers and began to search around.
Miyata went to meet the owner of the bar, a German with a big beard. He was tall and sturdy, wearing a fitted gray three-piece suit with a gold pocket watch hanging on his suit jacket. He had a pair of iconic green eagle eyes, and at this moment, he was holding a cigar between his fingers and spoke in Chinese with a slight accent:
"Mr. Miyata, this is the first time such a bloody incident has occurred here. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your country's intelligence personnel."
Miyata's eyes flashed, and then he said:
"Are you the boss here? What's your name?"
"Oh, it's my fault! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Andrew, and I'm in charge of the daily operations of the bar. We just provide a place for everyone to exchange information, and we don't participate in anything else.
We also have rules here. We are not allowed to create bloody incidents. Even if there are grudges, we need to leave here to resolve them. Obviously, Miss Mudan broke the rules. She will be listed as an unwelcome guest in the future."
Andrew spread his hands helplessly.
"As far as I know, the second time Mudan appeared, a murder occurred nearby."
"I have heard about this incident, but the murder did not happen in my territory, and no one saw who committed the crime. We naturally have no reason to refuse Miss Mudan from coming to the bar. Besides, the information she provided is still very accurate."
Andrew looked at Miyata with eagle eyes, speaking slowly but making everything go away.
Andrew knew very well that Miss Peony had released the news that she had a list of assassination targets for high-ranking Japanese officers. Now five high-ranking Japanese officers have died one after another, which further proves the value of this information. That's why Japanese intelligence personnel are so anxious.
He even went so far as to break the rules of their intelligence community and involve the military in intelligence transactions, trying to arrest people and obtain intelligence through tough means. If he were Miss Peony, he would not let those people leave alive.
Of course, what he thought in his heart was one thing, but his face showed a look of regret, and he said that he would no longer receive Miss Peony to his territory to sell information.
Miyata knew that he couldn't get anything out of Andrew, so he just said that he wanted to take the body away, which Andrew naturally wanted.
Before leaving, Miyata's deputy came to see him with the bar's waiter.
"Sir, this waiter had close contact with Miss Peony and knows some information about her."
The waiter also looked at his boss Andrew. He naturally remembered who paid him. After getting Andrew's signal, he spoke:
"The first time Miss Mudan came to the bar, Mr. Johnley took the initiative to talk to her. Although I didn't hear anything, judging from their expressions, they must know each other and their relationship seems to be somewhat ambiguous."
Miyata went over John Lee's name in his mind and knew the country he played for. His brows furrowed even more.
"Has John Lee been here since then? Has he met Miss Peony?"
"John Lee never came again after that. Miss Peony came twice, but these people knew that Miss Peony was very powerful, so no one dared to provoke her."
"Do you know anything else?"
"I didn't pay attention to the others. Miss Mudan is very beautiful, so I paid more attention to her. She has only been here four times, including today."
The waiter answered truthfully.
Miyata simply waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave. Andrew just smoked his cigar without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the questioning was over and the soldier in charge of the search returned to the bar and brought back a man, who was John Lee.
When John Lee was sandwiched between two soldiers and brought to Miyata, he was very dissatisfied and yelled at the Japanese soldier to let go. After the other party let go, he straightened his suit and asked with some dissatisfaction:
"Excuse me, why did you bring me here by force?"
Miyata looked at the soldier who had brought the man in. The soldier immediately stepped forward, saluted, and said:
"When we were searching around the bar, we found that the gentleman had parked his car at the entrance of an alley not far ahead, seemingly waiting for someone. When we wanted to approach him to ask him questions, he was about to turn around and leave, so we stopped him."
"I just heard that Mudan came to the bar, and I was going to look for her. But when I got nearby, I saw your country's military vehicles. I didn't dare to enter rashly, so I prepared to leave."
Johnley said with a frown.
"You mean you came to see Mudan, saw us, and left. Were you sure you wouldn't see Mudan, or did you have an agreement?"
Miyata narrowed his eyes and asked directly.
"Do I need to explain this? The latest intelligence information released by Mudan should be of the greatest concern to you Japanese, especially after the five assassinations of military officers.
Judging from your actions tonight, it is obvious that you are not trading intelligence fairly. Mudan will definitely not sit still and wait for death. She probably left long before you arrived."
John Lee explained calmly.
"It seems that Mr. Johnley knows this Peony very well?"
Miyata asked.
"I can't say I understand her, but I've suffered a loss at her hands. She beat me up and took away a token of my love. I learned that she was here tonight, so I wanted to take this opportunity to get it back. But it seems that I showed up at a very inappropriate time."
John Lee said helplessly.
"Injured? It seems this Miss Peony is from some important background."
Miyata raised his eyebrows. He only believed half of what the other party said, and he had to check the rest himself.
The unlucky John Lee was taken into the car again, but this time he was very calm. He knew very well that the other party did not have the courage to harm the senior intelligence personnel of Country M.
On the other side, the man who was tracking the ripples lost his target again and was looking around in confusion.
My dears, after I finished catching up on TV series, my eyelids are fighting and I almost fell asleep on the keyboard. I will post one chapter first and upload the rest after it is coded. Please be patient and wait.
