After reading the contents of the note, Lao Zhou returned the pistol to Lin Hui and said with a smile:

"You keep this gun for yourself, with a magazine, for self-defense, this is a good thing, as for Peony, I have other arrangements, you don't have to worry.

Now that you have been exposed, it is not suitable for you to appear in Pingbei City again, go to the rear for the time being, and study again with the old comrades. ”

"Yes, I obey the organization's arrangement."

Lin Hui said immediately.

Then Lao Zhou sealed the note with wax, put it in an old bamboo tube filled with water, and arranged for someone to send the news to the rear.

After dawn, a scream came from the back alley, attracting the patrolling gendarmerie, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had been solved by the ripples were completely exposed.

And Lin Hui's residence was already empty, Miyata received the news and arrived with his subordinates, looking at those lifeless imperial soldiers, his anger rushed straight to his head:

"Baga! What's going on? Why didn't you report the action to me? ”

"Sir, these are the people of the action group, they are estimated to be ambushed here and ready to catch big fish, but they just overestimate their own strength."

The deputy swept over the corpses that had been placed in a row, and could only step forward and explain in a low voice.

The operation team and their intelligence section have always been at odds, and the officer who was in charge of the operation before was killed, which made the operation team complain about them, thinking that their intelligence was lagging behind, so they started to investigate themselves, wanting to avenge their commander.

really let them find a little clue, at that time Lin Hui was privately collecting some news about some high-ranking Japanese officers, and they didn't communicate with Miyata, so they secretly controlled Lin Hui and prepared to wait for the rabbit, but the whole army was wiped out.

Miyata's face was gloomy and dripping, in his eyes, the action group was a group of well-developed limbs, and this pile of corpses proved his judgment, and now that he was on the hook, the clues were broken, and the intelligence broker would definitely not show up again.

Miyata was anxiously dealing with the mess of the action team, while arranging for his deputy to ask the people who were not involved in the operation group, hoping to get some useful information.

Ripple went to the school office to report his whereabouts after the last class, and was about to meet Wu Lao.

"Principal Wu, hello!"

"Teacher Wu, when are you going to leave?"

The old man asked, leaning on his ebony cane.

"Principal Wu, my hometown is not very peaceful, so I won't go back for the time being, I've been looking at the house recently, I'm going to rent one, and then stay in Pingbei, I don't have to go back and forth after the resumption of classes, I'm very satisfied with this job."

Ripple explained.

"Hey! The world is in chaos, and there is no stability anywhere, and you are really not suitable for a girl to go on the road alone. ”

Principal Wu sighed with emotion, and then asked:

"Have you found a house?"

"Not yet! The rent of a safe house is too high, I can't afford it, a cheap place, and a mix of dragons and snakes, not suitable for a single woman, these days I have seen many places, but I have not found a suitable one. ”

Ripples helplessly spread their hands.

"I have an apartment on Hongfei Road that I can rent to you."

Principal Wu was afraid that Ripples would refuse, so he directly said that it was renting.

"The rent on Hongfei Road is not cheap, and I have seen a few of them before."

Ripple said with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Wu has helped me, I will naturally give you a suitable price, neither will make you embarrassed, and I will not suffer, what do you think?"

Wu Lao said with a smile.

Ripple immediately thanked her gratefully and accepted the other party's help, which was obviously Principal Wu taking care of her, and it was also for her sake to save her life, so she was not hypocritical.

The next day, Ripple packed his bags and moved to the apartment, which was a small two-story western-style building with a small garden, and the nearby residents were all thin and wealthy people, which could be seen from the clothes of these people.

The house is very clean and tidy, and the various furnishings are also very low-key and luxurious, at first glance, they are used to entertain guests, and Ripples is very satisfied with the furnishings.

She calculated the time, went out, spent a small yellow croaker, bought some daily necessities and food and hoarded it, and in a few days, a small yellow croaker may not be able to buy much things.

Three days later, newspapers in the streets and alleys published a joint statement urging Japan to surrender as soon as possible and to evacuate the occupied territories of other countries as soon as possible.

Ripples looked at the newspaper in his hand, and sighed helplessly, blindly insisting on it would only harm more innocent people.

That night she changed into men's clothes and went to visit Johnley, and the people at the door were very cautious and did not let the ripples in.

She simply handed the ruby tie clip to the gatekeeper and said:

"Please give this to Mr. Johnsonley, and he will meet me."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The gatekeeper closed the door and went to report.

Moments later, Ripples entered Johnley's quarters.

When he walked into the study, Ripple took off the black top hat that covered most of his face, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Johnley, long time no see!"

"Miss Peony, I wonder what happened to my visit today?"

Johnley kept a certain distance, sat behind his desk, held a gun in his hand, and said with a cold face.

Because of this woman, he has lost several intelligence officers, and last time he was detained by the Japanese and monitored him for a long time.

"Of course it's a deal with Mr. Johnsonley."

Ripple sat casually on a set of sofas in front of the desk and said with a smile.

"What deal?"

"I have here the specific date when Japan announced its surrender, as well as the time when they evacuated Pingbei, I don't know if you are interested."

"It's just a matter of time, it doesn't mean much to me."

John Lee was not very happy with this information.

"They didn't leave empty-handed."

Ripples point to the point.

"Can you get their exact retreat route?"

Johnley asked, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Of course, otherwise I'm too embarrassed to come to the door."

Ripple leaned back on the couch and nodded in acknowledgement.

"What do you want?"

"A piece of information."

"About what?"

"The specific time and place of arms trade with the Kuomintang."

Listening to Ripple's answer, Johnley's pupils shrank, and then he shook his head and said:

"I don't have this information on hand"

Ripple laughed, and then began to recite the contents of the arms agreement she had seen that day when she had infiltrated Johnley's study.

She only made a start, and before she could recite the specific terms, Johnley interrupted:

"Where did you get this information?"

"You don't need to know this, just know that I offered a price that is enough to make the other party happy."

Ripples flicked the non-existent dust off the men's top hat and replied nonchalantly.

“.”

Johnlee knew that he was being led by the nose, and inquiring about intelligence sources was also a taboo in their business.

"I'll give you ten days to think about it, as long as you agree, I will give you specific information on the withdrawal of Japanese troops, and I will contact you after you get the specific time for the arms deal."
