Chapter 201 Full of Suspicions
Ripple wore all black tonight, and night was her best cover. With the faint moonlight, she saw that there were people lurking around Lin Hui's residence. The second-story attic he rented was also dark, and she didn't know. The people inside are dead or alive.
Lianyi took out a dagger that shone with cold light. The handle of the dagger was inlaid with a purple gem the size of a broad bean. This was the Thunder Yao Sword that belonged to Lianyi's ancestor, but in this world without any aura, it was pressed into an ordinary sword. The shape of a dagger, but even so, this dagger is also a sharp tool for blowing and breaking hair.
This was given to her by Wu Lao to thank her for saving her life. Lianyi still remembered Wu Lao's meaningful words at that time.
"This was given to me by a friend of mine who likes to collect antiques. The origin of this dagger is unknown, and the material is unclear, but it is extremely sharp and compact, making it suitable for girls to defend themselves.
The current situation in Pingbei is chaotic, so it is just right to give this to you. I hope you will not need to use it one day. "
Lianyi really couldn't refuse the return of her natal sword Lei Yao to her hands, so she shamelessly thanked her and accepted the gift. Now it was time to use it.
Half an hour later, all the ambushers were eliminated. Lianyi obtained more than a dozen guns. He also judged from the ugly crotch pants of the other party that these ambushers belonged to Japan.
Although he saw it accidentally, Ripple felt that he needed to go back and wash his eyes.
When Ripple entered Lin Hui's room, the other party was walking back and forth on the ground, obviously very anxious. When he saw the intact Ripple appeared, he immediately said:
"Miss Mudan, I'm being targeted by Japan, you'd better leave here first!"
Ripple turned the gun in his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't worry! They can't control you now, but I didn't expect you to be still alive. You brought these people in."
What she said was an affirmation.
"Yes, in recent times, I have been frequently inquiring about senior Japanese military officers, and that's why I was targeted by them. I vacated my previous house and within ten days of moving here, they came looking for me.
But they didn't catch me, they just used me as bait to fish out the people who contacted me. "
Lin Hui explained anxiously.
"They know it's me who's trading information with you?"
Lianyi looked around and asked calmly.
"I don't know. They didn't contact me at all. Instead, they trapped me in the house. I couldn't even notify Miss Peony."
Lin Hui said with some annoyance.
"Are you sure you didn't take the initiative to betray me?"
Lianyi put away the gun in her hand, raised her hand to push Lin Hui down on the chair, and asked with a smile.
"No, I don't dare, and I won't!"
Lin Hui shook his head like a rattle.
"That's good, now pack your things and get out of here."
Ripple ordered.
With a light touch on his shoulder, Lin Hui immediately stood up, opened the drawer, took out some papers inside, lit it with a match, and threw it into the spittoon. The weak firelight illuminated his face, and his expression was solemn at this time.
Then he collected all the things in the house that could reveal his whereabouts, and jumped out of the window without disturbing the tenants on the first floor.
Lianyi specially took him to the back alley, took a look at the corpses of the Japanese, and with Lin Hui's somewhat dazed eyes, dragged him away from his previous residence.
Lin Hui felt that his mood was really ups and downs tonight. He was disliked and seemed to be holding Miss Peony back.
Before the two separated, Ripple gave the other party a pistol and said bluntly:
"You'd better leave Pingbeicheng after dawn, find another person to contact me, and let him rent a place next to the mansion of John Lee, the intelligence dealer from Country M. I will go find him then."
"Okay, I've written it down!"
Lin Hui nodded solemnly, then turned around and ran into the alley, while Ripple disappeared into the darkness again, secretly watching Lin Hui go to the city gate, nestled among a group of people waiting to leave the city, looked at each other for a long time, and then returned own residence.
Lin Hui didn't really breathe a sigh of relief until this moment. The death stare just disappeared.
He knew that what happened tonight aroused Miss Mudan's suspicion. The other party took her to see the pile of corpses to warn him, and even the gun given to him was to test him. As long as he had the slightest bad idea, today Later he will become one of those corpses.
Almost all the intelligence brokers in Pingbei City know about this mysterious Miss Peony, and even gave her the nickname "Blood Peony". The meaning is self-evident. Every time she appears, she will take away one or two unknown people. People in current affairs will not offend this mysterious peony unless necessary.
Lin Hui was a little annoyed. Because of his carelessness, he almost got himself into danger, and even almost got Miss Peony involved. In the end, he got out of trouble and needed help from others, which made him feel bad.
After dawn, Lin Hui left Pingbeicheng with the people waiting to leave the city. Even if he left the city, he was charged a silver dollar, which made him even more sure that Japan had begun to enter its final state of madness.
Lin Hui went to meet his supervisor and explained the reason why he had temporarily evacuated due to the unexpected incident he encountered. He would also meet Miss Mudan, who would help him escape.
"Old Zhou, it was my mistake this time, which also made Miss Mudan suspicious of the organization. I request punishment."
Lin Hui said with some frustration.
The man named Lao Zhou was wearing a smoky gray robe, his hair was meticulously taken care of, and he had a short beard that covered half of his face.
"It's your luck that you were able to escape smoothly. Apart from telling you the new meeting place, does Miss Peony have anything else to tell you?"
Lao Zhou continued to ask.
"She also gave me a captured gun for self-defense."
As he spoke, he took out the small pistol hidden in his waist and handed it to Lao Zhou.
As soon as he got the pistol, Lao Zhou noticed something strange. He turned the handle of the gun and saw that there was no magazine loaded at all. Instead, there was a rolled up note stuffed there, which he pulled out with a flick of his little finger.
"Xiao Lin, you are really dangerous this time. If Miss Mudan is an enemy, you will never have a chance to leave Pingbeicheng alive."
When Lin Hui saw the pistol without the magazine, his scalp went numb. If he was a real traitor, he would definitely raise the gun without hesitation when he got the pistol and Miss Mudan turned her back to him. At that time, It is also the real death day of the rebels.
"Now you know you're afraid?"
"Just some!"
"To be called Blood Peony, she has the ability to survive. Especially for such a lone ranger, she will be even more dangerous.
Although we don't know the other party's ultimate goal now, she took the initiative to extend an olive branch to us, and we then followed it step by step.
If those who do intelligence work have no faith and are completely dominated by interests, it will be very scary. "
There will be another chapter later, I’ll upload it once it’s coded.
