Chapter 233: Assassinations are endless
Zhuge Yun said in the letter that she would stay to uncover the true face of the woman in black and solve the mystery of the portrait. In case the artillery fire of the E army falls into the manor, then Yun'er she ......" Song Yun felt uneasy.
A few days later, information that Army E had breached the eastern line of defense reached the company headquarters.
"So Maple Flat has been occupied?"
Worried about the safety of his beloved wife, Song Yun's anxiety became more and more intense.
At that time, there were many incredible assassinations along the Eastern Front.
Young officers who patrolled, searched, or emerged from their tents at night would be stiffened by the next morning, and the victims were brave and combative officers.
Even a distinguished officer who had made a great deal of service and was about to be awarded the Medal of Honor the next morning was brutally murdered that night.
It was a great surprise that none of the old or mediocre officers, even the lower-ranking soldiers, were killed, and that the senior officers, such as regimental commanders or division commanders, were safe because of their tight guards. However, the staff officers who participated in the planning of the operation, despite the strong barriers, could not escape death.
It can be seen that the murderer must be a senior detective who has a detailed understanding of the internal secrets of the national army, and maybe he is also a high-level detective who investigates intelligence.
The national army has a general understanding of the methods and appearance of the murderer, although it is not yet clear that the murderer is really true.
Several soldiers who witnessed the killer at the scene described the killer's modus operandi in much the same way.
According to them, the murderer was a man in a black cloak, haunted in the middle of the night, armed with a dagger, and suddenly stabbed the young officer in the heart, and for a moment disappeared into the darkness. When the murderer left, the wide black cloak fluttered in the wind, resembling a giant bat, known as the "Blood-Eating Bat". She is agile and agile, and she has a unique smell all around her. She could have been a woman.
When the murderer carried out the assassination, he used an unmistakable method, stabbing the opponent in the heart, killing him on the spot, and the victim fell to the ground and died, often without even making a sound.
The face of the person who heard this was pale, and his whole body trembled. For soldiers, it is an infinite glory to sacrifice their lives to go to the country and die in battle, but it is a shame to die of a mysterious and strange female killer.
One by one, the young officers were silent, and they were on guard.
The news reached Song Yun's team, but fortunately, there had been no similar assassination in the unit, but Song Yun was still taken aback.
"Black cloaks, daggers, pierced into the heart with unmistakable accuracy,...... Isn't this the same method as the woman who killed her father?
"But that was more than a decade ago. Are these two people the same woman? Is there any other woman who is as agile as she is, stabbing someone in the chest with a single sword?" Song Yun's heart was filled with doubts.
One night, he and Zhuge Jian went to inspect the forest, and the two walked side by side, talking about Zhuge Yun's letter.
The wind was blowing, the dark clouds were drifting in the night sky, and through the gaps in the dark clouds, the bright moon was faintly visible, and the light in the forest flickered and dimmed, and the surroundings were unusually gloomy and terrifying.
"Brother Jian, do you know?" Song Yun asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know who secretly changed your mother's portrait?"
"I don't know at all...... I've never seen a portrait of my mother, and when I heard that my father took me and my sister to a new home when I was four years old, how do I remember that?
"I also learned about my mother's portrait from the letter, because my father and sister never mentioned anything about my mother in front of me." A dissatisfaction faintly rose in Zhuge Jian's heart.
"Maybe your father and sister thought that you were going to participate in the Great Patriotic War, and they were afraid that you would be worried about it, so they hid something from you."
Just as the two were walking and talking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared quietly in the dark woods. The dark shadow had long been hiding in the shadows beside the forest path, waiting for the two of them quietly like a bat.
When Song Yun and Zhuge Jian walked across the path, a deep voice came from the shadows: "Wait a minute!"
That voice mixed with the E national dialect!
Coincidentally, Song Yun and Zhuge Jian turned around.
Suddenly, the black shadow rushed forward, shook his cloak, and pulled out a glittering dagger, piercing Song Yun's chest.
Fortunately, Song Yun dodged in time, and Zhuge Jian, who was agile and quick to react, was also busy ramming the opponent from the side, which was a very ferocious impact.
The black shadow shook and nearly fell to the ground, but she tried her best to stand on her feet and immediately ran forward.
A large black cloak fluttered in the air, like a giant blood-eating bat. This woman was not only nimble in her hands and feet, but also as light as a swallow, and like a gust of wind, she fled in a hurry.
Zhuge Jian quickly caught up, and he jumped high on the basketball team in college and threw the murderer to the ground.
Zhuge Jian hugged the other party's legs tightly, but she was agile and agile, like an eel, and slipped away from Zhuge Jian's hands. When Zhuge Jian stood up, he found that the other party had disappeared into the forest opposite, and the black cloak flickered through the lush woods like the wings of a bat.
The clouds obscured the moon, the forest was pitch black, and the wide black cloak finally disappeared into the night.
"Alas, let her slip away...... Brother-in-law, are you alright?" Zhuge Jian said to Song Yun, who was catching up.
"It's okay, it's nothing...... I'm glad you helped me, otherwise my life would have been lost! Song Yun couldn't hide the look of horror on his face.
"She's the Vampouring Bat? It's terrible! ”
"But, brother-in-law, I heard that she only kills young and promising officers who are brave and good at fighting, and that you are the target of her assassination, it is like getting a certificate of excellence.
"Brother-in-law, although you are only a second lieutenant now, since that blood-eating bat wants to kill you, it proves that you have a great record of military achievements and bravery. I'm sure you'll soon be promoted to lieutenant or captain, maybe even higher, and maybe a Medal of Honor! ”
Zhuge Jian laughed heartily.
Song Yun had no choice but to smile bitterly, but he kept guessing in his heart what the woman in the cloak was.
Early the next morning, Song Yun was alone in the tent recalling what happened last night, and Zhuge Jian came in from outside in a hurry. "Brother-in-law, I picked up a strange thing......"
"What?" Song Yun, who frowned and thought, woke up like a dream.
"Look, it's this thing......"
It was a rectangular thing wrapped in a handkerchief, and when Song Yun opened it, he found that it was a dagger. Because the scabbard is removed, it looks particularly shiny and eye-catching. The blade is a narrow triangle, which is very different from ordinary daggers, and it is a unique sharp weapon.
"Is this ......," Song Yun asked suspiciously, holding a dagger.
"Brother-in-law, last night, this dagger almost killed you, did you forget?"
Song Yun's hand stiffened, and his eyes stared at the murder weapon in his hand in a daze.
