Chapter 200 Adding fuel to the flames
At this time, Lianyi has changed her makeup into Peony, with delicate and gorgeous makeup, dark hair tied up in a bun, a cheongsam with a black background and red peonies, and a camel-colored windbreaker on the outside, making her look so beautiful that it seems unreal.
The little beggar named Yatou opened her eyes wide with envy that she could not hide, 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, don't let anyone snatch it away."
The girl didn't expect this beautiful aunt to be so generous. She hurriedly stuffed the silver dollar in her arms into the sole of her shoe and hid it. When she looked up to thank her, she was nowhere to be seen.
Lianyi, holding the thin newspaper in her hand, had already turned into the alley and returned to Hu Qian's secret safe house. She then unfolded the newspaper and began to read it carefully.
After handing the list to Miyata, she went to find the intelligence collector of the underground party and asked him to collect recent information about the four senior Japanese military officers, especially their movements and the places they frequently visited.
She was prepared to help the Kuomintang and speed up the decapitation operation, and also to prove to Japan the authenticity of the intelligence she obtained, so that Miyata would not give up on her easily in the short term.
Lin Hui, who had come into direct contact with Lian Yi, swallowed subconsciously when he saw Lian Yi appearing in front of him, then immediately stood up and asked:
"Miss Peony, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"
"I need your help with something. Please write down the names of these four people."
Lianyi sat down at the square table unceremoniously and announced the names of four senior Japanese generals.
Lin Hui immediately found paper and pen and wrote down these names.
"Use your information network to help me collect information about these people as quickly as possible. I want to know their lifestyles, hobbies, and movements. In short, I want to know everything about these four people."
"Miss Mudan, do you need our help?"
Lin Hui was not stupid and he immediately understood that these four people might be the ones on the assassination list.
"No, don't interfere in this matter. You are only responsible for providing me with information."
Lianyi refused directly.
"Okay, please give me a few days, and I will get the detailed information."
"I believe this, don't draw the attention of the Kuomintang and Japanese intelligence agencies."
"I see."
After a brief exchange, Lianyi disappeared without saying when he would come back to get the information.
But Lin Hui did not dare to delay. After remembering the names of the four people, he left the rented house and went to deliver the message.
Lianyi returned to Hu Qian's secret safe house and pulled out a rectangular box from under the wooden bed. When she opened it, there was a sniper rifle inside. Although it was not the latest model, she had checked it before and found that the gun was usable.
This sniper rifle should be the collection of the late Hu Qian. Now it is cheap to her. This time she plans to use the gun to complete the assassination mission.
Being sent to that training camp by the KMT had its advantages. She had no problem using firearms. It was no exaggeration to say that she never missed a shot. However, in order to maintain her image, 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 got the collected intelligence.
"Change your place of residence."
"I'm exposed?"
Lin Hui stood up in a flash.
"No, just in case."
"good."
"Where is the latest intelligence trading venue set?"
A murder had occurred in Andrew's bar before, and the Japanese were keeping an eye on it, so the intelligence brokers must have moved to a new location.
"It's a western restaurant on Modern Street. It's a dining place during the day, and it holds small cocktail parties at night. They don't happen every day, but about every three or four days. Those who need to exchange information will go there. The organizer behind the scenes is still the previous owner of the bar."
Lin Hui replied immediately.
"I will go there in a while to meet the boss behind the scenes and give him a gift to apologize."
Ripple said with a smile.
Three days later, a murder occurred in Pingbei City in the morning and afternoon respectively. The victims were both Japanese officers. This made Japan a little crazy, but Miyata was mixed with joy and worry.
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 on the assassination list, but even if they knew it and were prepared, the other party still succeeded.
On the other side, Adjutant Wei and Yilin were also very puzzled. The assassination in the morning was led by them, but the Japanese officer who died in the afternoon, although on the list, was not killed by their people.
"Adjutant Wei, who did this? I heard he was shot to death!"
Irene frowned.
"I don't know, at least they are not our people. The decapitation operation is carried out by members of the special operations team. The superior has given us full authority to carry out this mission. Unless our operation fails, no other department will be arranged to take over."
Adjutant Wei's words were very firm.
"Our list has been leaked. Should we proceed as planned?"
Yilin frowned and asked worriedly.
"No matter who the other party is, he did not stop our actions. It can be said that he is helping us. The plan remains the same, and we have to speed up. The Japanese have lost the front battlefield and are ready to surrender."
"I see."
In the days that followed, every time the Kuomintang carried out an assassination attempt, there would almost always be an assassination that was not led by them. This made Japan more and more crazy. They frequently arranged people to gather information, but they found nothing. Seeing the names on the list die one by one, the only three senior generals left on the list had canceled all outings and stayed at the Japanese headquarters in Pingbei.
"This is a bit troublesome. Hiding in the shell and not coming out makes the assassination more difficult."
Lianyi flipped through the newspaper in her hand, frowned and muttered to herself.
Recently, Miyata has been busy catching the assassin and has not contacted her for a long time. The Kuomintang people who were monitoring her have also withdrawn and only two people are left. It can be seen that when they didn't find anything, they became lax, which made Lianyi's actions much smoother.
As the situation in Pingbei becomes more and more chaotic, Principal Wu decides to suspend classes temporarily to allow students whose homes are not in Pingbei to leave this vortex. Fewer and fewer people attend classes, and Lianyi has fewer classes scheduled. Soon the school is closed, and she has to leave as well.
So she contacted Adjutant Wei and asked whether she should return to her hometown temporarily or continue to stay in Pingbei City.
For some unknown reason, Adjutant Wei did not let her leave, but asked her to rent a house and stay in Pingbei City to continue collecting intelligence.
Lianyi knew that the Kuomintang had not dispelled its suspicion of her, so they wanted to keep her under their noses. She nodded somewhat unhappily, and then continued to do her own thing in the name of looking for a house.
That night, Lianyi went to Lin Hui's new residence, but before she got close, she found that something was wrong around her.
