Chapter 071: Assassination
The moment the door of the safe opened, Fan Yanqiao's hanging heart suddenly became excited, and there was indeed a dark brown briefcase inside.
Fan Yanqiao quickly glanced out of the door, then reached out and took out the briefcase, she listened carefully to the sound outside the door, and quickly opened the briefcase and took out the documents inside.
She put the stack of documents under the desk lamp and looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was the details of the weapon handover, Fan Yanqiao reached out and stuffed the documents into his chest little by little, and then quickly put the briefcase back in its place, and closed the safe as it was.
When he finished all this, a layer of cold sweat was already oozing from Fan Yanqiao's back.
She quickly stood up with the hem of her skirt, walked to the door and looked into the bedroom, only to see that Andre was still sleeping lifeless on the bed, and Fan Yanqiao's heart was a little more steady.
She reached out and took the woolen shawl from her chair, then calmly walked out.
As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard someone talking outside, and the voice turned out to be Salman's. When Fan Yanqiao heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, she flashed her body, leaned against the wall next to the door and listened carefully.
Salman seemed to be drunk, clamoring to come in and sit down, saying that he wanted to see what kind of person Miss Misa's fiancΓ© was, and that he would have a duel with him to see who was the most qualified man to marry Miss Misa.
Xu saw that he was making too much trouble, and the waiters and managers in the hotel were persuading him, and for a while there was a lot of noise outside, and English and Hindi were interspersed.
Fan Yanqiao heard what he said, her eyes turned red with anger, she gritted her teeth and thought that this Salman had repeatedly done bad things to her, if he was allowed to follow her like this, what kind of chaos would happen to him, as soon as she thought of this, Fan Yanqiao's eyes couldn't help but become vicious, she reached out to the doorknob, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, the expression of anger on her face was gone.
She looked at Salman indifferently and said softly, "Mr. Salman, are you looking for me?" β
Salman, who had been clamoring to see Fan Yanqiao just now, saw Fan Yanqiao come out, the expression on his face instantly became pleasantly surprised, he broke free from the hands of the two waiters, walked quickly to Fan Yanqiao, and said excitedly: "Miss Meisa, I want to duel with your fiancΓ©, but they all stopped me from coming to see him, Miss Meisa...... Please call your fiancΓ© out and we'll duel now...... If I win, will you promise me to be my bride? β
Fan Yanqiao smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Salman's arm and said softly, "Mr. Salman, why are you so savage?" Why a duel? Is it bad to have something to say? β
When Salman heard this, a trace of puzzlement appeared on his dark face: "How can I say it well?" Are you asking me to consult with him? β
Fan Yanqiao laughed softly, slapped him in the chest charmingly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Salman is really good at joking......"
She smiled at the manager as she spoke: "It's okay, it's a little misunderstanding, you guys can get busy......"
The manager and the waiter have seen a lot of this kind of male and female affairs, and they have also encountered all kinds of situations, so when they heard Fan Yanqiao say this, they nodded and said respectfully: "Then I wish you a good night, you can come to us at any time if you need anything......"
Fan Yanqiao smiled and nodded, then took Salman's arm and stared into his eyes and whispered: "I brought a good red wine from France, I just want to drink a little tonight, why don't Mr. Salman come to my room and sit down, how about we have a drink together?" β
Salman was already a drinker, and he was already slightly drunk just now, as soon as he heard Fan Yanqiao say this, and then looked down at her soft chest constantly rubbing his arm, he suddenly became excited, he reached out and grabbed Fan Yan's waist, lowered his head and said with a smile in her ear: "Good ......"
Fan Yanqiao smiled and let him hold his waist and walk in the direction of her bedroom.
After walking a few steps, Salman's fingers squeezed her waist hard, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss Misa, what are you wearing, why are you so hard?" β
Ordinary women are just wearing a whale bone corset, but it is also soft to the touch, why is Fan Yanqiao's waist so hard to be ridiculously hard?
When Fan Yanqiao heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he looked around from the corner of his eyes without a trace, and saw that there was no one around, even those who walked by occasionally did not pay attention to his words, Fan Yanqiao's heart relaxed, and then said to Salman with a shy: "Oh, you person, this is just the most fashionable new corset at the moment, this corset is wearing jade, which plays a role in strengthening the body, why are you even curious about this?" β
As she spoke, she held his hand tightly on her waist.
When Salman heard this, he looked like he suddenly realized, and then he said knowingly: "I know, I know......"
When he walked to the door of Fan Yanqiao's bedroom, Fan Yanqiao pushed the door open, and then said to Salman with a smile: "Please come in......"
Salman glanced down at her and said with a smile on his face, "Good ......"
He said as he walked in with his feet up.
Keiko and Hua Ling, who were anxiously waiting for Fan Yanqiao in the bedroom, were stunned when they saw a foreign man coming in, thinking that it was someone who had gone to the wrong door, and were about to push him out, but when they looked up again, they saw Fan Yanqiao walking in after him.
Fan Yanqiao smiled at them and said, "This is my guest...... Go and get the wine I brought from France......"
As she spoke, she took a handkerchief in her hand, pulled up the hem of her skirt and took out the dagger tied to her leg from the base of her thigh, took a quick step forward, tiptoed behind Salman, and slammed the handkerchief over his mouth along his shoulder, and then swung the dagger in her hand and stabbed Salman in the carotid artery.
With a snort, very slight, like the sound of breaking the wind, the steel dagger was buried in his muscles at once, and bright red blood gushed out in an instant, sticky and greasy soaked Fan Yanqiao's hand.
Salman was stabbed and stiffened, he twisted his head and struggled hard to throw Fan Yanqiao down, but a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mouth, as if something was coming out of his throat, his breath was suffocated, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Hua Ling had just seen Fan Yanqiao touching the dagger, and had already pulled a cushion from the sofa, and when she saw that Salman was still struggling, she hurriedly reached out and covered the cushion on his face and pressed his head hard.
Fan Yanqiao stretched out his hand to wrap his neck, feeling that the muscles in his whole body suddenly became relaxed from tightness, and immediately stabbed the dagger inserted in his neck hard, and then picked it up, tilting the handle of the knife downward.
The blood in his body immediately flowed out of the blood trough at an extremely fast pace.
Salman's movements of struggle became weaker and weaker, Fan Yanqiao loosened the arm around his neck, then pulled out the dagger, stepped back, and stood aside to look coldly at Salman who was slowly falling to the ground.
Hua Ling took advantage of this force and sat on his body all of a sudden, the cushion in his hand was covering his mouth stiffly, even at the last moment, he did not relax.
Fan Yanqiao threw the drug-stained handkerchief to the ground, looked at Salman, who was constantly twitching, and said to Keiko, "When will Aoki arrive?" β
Keiko hurriedly said, "It's already downstairs...... The car is all ready......"
Fan Yanqiao nodded: "I got the things, and when I went out, I met this person, and as a result, the things I hid on my body were discovered by him, and I could only finish him off without doing anything......
Keiko listened, looked up at the clock, lowered her voice and said to Fan Yanqiao: "Miss, you change your clothes, we will leave immediately...... Hua Ling and I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and after hearing that you entered Andre's room, we knew that we would almost be able to get it tonight, so we were ready to leave......"
When Fan Yanqiao heard this, he reached out and held the dagger to control the blood water, this dagger was forged by the Kuroyama Saki Yu family, a traditional Japanese knife-making family, it can almost be said that the iron is sharpened like mud, but whenever it is stained with blood, as long as the tip of the knife is controlled towards the ground, the blade will immediately become clean.
It was given to her by Fujii himself when she took her fourth-grade final exam, in order to encourage her to achieve the best results he had ever achieved in office.
After putting away the dagger, she turned and walked briskly into the bedroom, and then quickly changed the clothes on her body, but the stack of papers was still tightly hidden in her corset.
When Fan Yanqiao came out again, Keiko and Hua Ling had already dragged Salman's body to the bathtub in the bathroom, and the bloody carpet on the floor had also been lifted and hidden in the closet.
Everything was cleaned up, and the three of them walked out of the room as usual.
The room they booked was still ten days away, and Andre might wake up and find something unusual and search her room, so they had to leave Shanghai as quickly as possible, otherwise, once she was stranded in Shanghai, she wouldn't be able to fly out.
This is the territory of the Southern Army, and if such an important military secret is lost on their territory, the Southern Army will definitely impose martial law on the whole city as soon as possible.
Fan Yanqiao walked in front with his head held high and an indifferent face, followed by Hua Ling and Keiko, the hotel was full of people, and he didn't notice anything abnormal, the three of them walked to the door of the hotel, and saw Aoki's driver standing next to a black car from a distance.
Hua Ling lowered her voice and said to Fan Yanqiao: "Miss, the car is over there......"
Fan Yanqiao nodded and said softly, "I know ......"
When the three of them walked to the front of the car, the driver hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift the car door, and after Fan Yanqiao bent down to get into the car, he waited for Hua Ling and Keiko to also come up, and whispered to the driver: "Hurry up, go immediately......
The driver understood, started the car and drove out slowly, just walked to a place where there were no street lights, and the driver suddenly picked up the car to speed.
Fan Yanqiao turned his head to look at the brightly lit Far Eastern Plaza Hotel behind him, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging just now.
When she really relaxed, Fan Yanqiao suddenly felt that her whole body was cold, she took a deep breath and tightened the fur on her body.
She turned her head to look at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and asked in a low voice, "How did Aoki arrange it, will you leave the port tonight?" β
The driver looked straight ahead and said respectfully, "I don't know, these Mr. Aoki didn't tell me before, they just said that they would pick you up and take you to the place he designated......"
When Fan Yanqiao heard this, he frowned and asked, "What designated place?" β
The driver said, "You'll know when you get there......"
Fan Yanqiao listened, but a trace of uneasiness rose in her heart, and she secretly thought in her heart, what does Aoki mean by this? She had obviously succeeded, and according to their agreement, even if they couldn't send her back to Mukden immediately, then at least she should be sent out of Shanghai, otherwise, wouldn't she have to sit here and wait for death?
She swept Hua Ling and Keiko without a trace out of the corner of her eyes, and secretly thought in her heart that they were Aoki's people, and if things changed at that time, they must be subdued first, and what Aoki's idea was to fight.
Thinking like this, she unconsciously began to guard against it.
The car drove all the way to the Bund, and when Fan Yanqiao was looking out the window and thinking about where this was, he heard the driver whisper in front: "It's here." β
Fan Yanqiao's eyes narrowed, and he touched his hand to the buckle of the handbag.
As soon as the driver stopped, a man in a black suit stepped forward and opened the door on her side.
Fan Yanqiao stared at him and asked coldly, "What to do?" β
The man whispered, "Please get into our car...... Miss"
Fan Yanqiao turned his head to look at the driver and asked, "What's going on?" β
The driver lowered his head and said, "Miss Chu Chu, I don't know ......"
The man glanced at the driver and said again: "Please get out of the car, Miss......"
Fan Yanqiao took a deep breath and got into the car.
She followed the man to a car, the man opened the door, bowed his head and said, "Please miss, go up......"
Fan Yanqiao glanced at him and got into the car silently. γ
As soon as the car started, she hadn't left yet, but she saw that the lights of the cars following behind her were also turned on instantly, she turned her head to look, but saw that Hua Ling and Keiko also got into two of them, Fan Yanqiao suddenly understood in her heart, it turned out that Aoki had separated them and left separately.
After the car started, the three cars behind it turned around and walked in different directions.
Fan Yanqiao stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, but his heart was even more bottomless.
Aoki did this, it was a little too suspicious, he used this way to ostensibly want to separate them, so that it would be less dangerous, but on closer thought, this way was clearly protecting one of them, then what they wanted to protect was her with the documents on her body.
If the three of them want to escape Shanghai together, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble, and the reason why Aoki made things so complicated is that there is only one purpose in detail, that is, he wants to leave her alone in Shanghai!
As soon as he thought of this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Fan Yanqiao's back.
Could it be that Aoki and Fujii wanted to keep her in Shanghai from the beginning? And the reason why they said that as long as she completed the task, she could return to Mukden, these words were all to deceive her to carry out the mission.
Fan Yanqiao's heart suddenly became angry, she grabbed the shell handbag in her hand hard, and her lips trembled with anger - they actually used this kind of thing to lie to her, it's not really good, if it is really as she thought, she will not spare them.
The car drove her for more than an hour, and then the steering wheel turned, but it turned to the French Concession. Fan Yan looked at the French on the street sign and felt more and more strange in her heart, and was about to ask where she was going to go, but saw the driver slowly drive the car into front of a villa.
As if he had known that someone was coming, the villa gate immediately opened the door as soon as he saw the light of the car.
The car slowly drove into the yard, Fan Yanqiao looked out through the car window, but saw that the courtyard of this villa occupied a huge area, and the trees inside were verdant, reflecting the light from the windows of the villa, which made this courtyard seem extraordinarily deep.
The car drove along the boulevard until it reached the plane tree in front of the villa, and then gradually turned off.
A man in a black suit came over and opened the door for Fan Yanqiao, and said very respectfully, "Miss Fan......"
Fan Yanqiao was clutching her handbag tightly, thinking that if anything changed, she immediately took out the pistol inside and shot the person in front of her to death, and then rushed out with the driver hostage.
But she made all kinds of preparations, but she never expected that the man in front of her would call her Miss Fan! You know, she has been using the name Chu Chu since she went to Japan, and she also used Misa Terui when she went to Shanghai, but in this unfamiliar place, except for Aoki, how can anyone know her surname Fan?
She glanced up at the villa in front of her, and instantly thought, isn't Aoki waiting for her here?
She got out of the car in confusion.
The man led her into the villa in front of her.
This is a typical Russian-style building, although Fan Yanqiao has been in Japan, but she had already heard when she was in Mukden that most of the Russian nobles in exile in Shanghai lived in the French Concession, so it is not surprising that there are such Russian-style buildings in the French Concession.
She followed the man through the flower hall to the outside of the innermost room.
When she wanted to look down and think carefully about who he was going to show her, she heard a familiar voice sound: "Miss Fan...... Dashao is waiting for you inside......"
Fan Yan Qiaofu was stunned when she heard this voice, she looked up suddenly, and saw Sun Liangping looking at her expressionlessly, but there was a smile in her eyes that could not be concealed.
Fan Yanqiao's heart sank instantly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
She looked at Sun Liangping, tried hard to stabilize her mind, gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Although Sun Liangping has always been the person next to Xue Shao, he has always regarded her as a sister, which she knows very well and thanks to his many cares, she doesn't say it, but she keeps it in her heart, and now when she sees him again after more than five years, Fan Yanqiao can't help but feel sad all of a sudden.
She looked up at him and shouted in a trembling voice, "Adjutant Sun......"
Sun Liangping's heart was also quite uncomfortable, but because of his identity, he only smiled at her: "You have grown taller, and your appearance has changed a lot......"
Fan Yanqiao gritted her teeth, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
Sun Liangping patted her shoulder and said softly: "Da Shao has been waiting for you inside, come in......"
When Fan Yanqiao heard this, he endured it vigorously, then nodded, raised his feet and walked inside.
The door was gently pushed open, there was a faint smell of tobacco in the room, Liao Mengni's Spring River Flower Moonlit Night was placed on the gramophone, her thin voice echoed leisurely in the room, and the familiar music instantly pulled her back to the snowy night five years ago, she was wearing a brocade jacket and sat on the sofa in the small living room with the small ring embroidered handkerchief, the air was filled with sweet fragrance, and the water fragrance flowers bloomed just right.
Her nose was sore, and her whole person softened suddenly.
She stood at the door, looking at Xue Shao who was standing in front of the sand table and bowing her head in contemplation, but her chest ached faintly.
More than five years have passed, and the young Overseer who used to be green has now grown into a mature and steady man, and he only stood there from a distance, as if a pillar of light hit him, and the light around him bloomed faintly.
As if sensing that there were eyes watching him, Xue Shao raised his head and looked in the direction of Fan Yanqiao, and at a glance, the original thoughtful expression on his face instantly froze, and he looked at Fan Yanqiao from a distance through a sand table, but his breathing became slightly short.
Time and space flowed rapidly between the two, and everything that had happened in his youth instantly hit the hearts of the two, obviously he was the man Fan Yanqiao hated the most, but at first sight, a lot of emotions surged up, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
Xue Shao raised his feet and slowly walked in front of her, and whispered in his mouth: "Are you back?" β
The voice is very light and faint, mixed with the gentle and melodious singing, almost inaudible.
Fan Yanqiao endured it, lowered his eyes and whispered, "I'm back......"
After saying this, the two of them fell silent again.
After a long time, the record player began to idle, making a rustling sound, Xue Shao glanced down at Fan Yanqiao, raised his feet and walked over, and reached out to lift the cartridge.
"How do you paint your face like that? Go wash and come back to talk......" He looked at her from afar, and said nothing else, but was a little dissatisfied with the heavy makeup on her face.
Fan Yanqiao took a deep breath, turned around and walked out.
Xue Shao lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his feet and walked out with her.
As soon as Fan Yanqiao came out, Sun Liangping was stunned for a moment, and then heard Fan Yanqiao ask: "I want to wash my face, where is the hot water?" β
Sun Liangping was just about to speak, when he heard Xue Shao say lightly: "Come with me......"
Sun Liangping hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Fan Yanqiao silently followed him upstairs.
Walking to the door of his bedroom, Xue Shao turned his head to look at her, and said expressionlessly, "Go in......"
Fan Yanqiao raised his feet and walked in, hesitated after entering, and then walked in the direction of the bathroom.
She washed her face and was wiping the water with a towel, when she heard Xue Shao ask, "What about the details?" Bring it and I'll take a look at ......."
Fan Yanqiao glanced up at his face in the mirror, slowly put the towel in his hand next to the washstand, and then began to reach out to untie his skirt.
