Chapter 223: Surfacing
"She's just been mythologized by you, after all, she's only one person."
David said with some disdain.
Immediately, he saw Andrew's slightly displeased face, and immediately added:
"Mr. Andrew, please rest assured, I understand the rules you have here, and I will not embarrass you."
David assured.
Andrew also understood, and the meaning of the other party's words was that he would not mess around in his territory, and as for leaving here, it would not be under his control.
"Good luck!"
Andrew omitted the words of admonition, and let the other party hit the wall by himself, and he would believe it if it really hurts.
David raised the wine glass in his hand, and left the party directly after drinking, although he didn't put the blood peony in his eyes, it didn't mean that he would be careless, and some preparations still had to be made.
The next day, in the afternoon, Ripple made a phone call to Andrew.
Andrew tactfully told Ripple that David agreed to meet, but it seemed that he had other plans and told her to be careful.
Ripple understood Andrew's overtone, hung up the phone, muttered an old fox, and went to the drinking party.
On the way, she found an anomaly, there were many more people from the action team on the street, and there were some obvious faces hanging out, although these people were well disguised, but in front of Ripple, a master of disguise, it was a little unsatisfactory.
Ripple's face remained unchanged, and then he returned to the headquarters and went directly to the Intelligence Collection Section.
Sure enough, the office of the University of Intelligence Gathering was empty, but she heard a voice in Irene's office, and she walked over and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Irene's voice came from inside.
Ripple saluted after entering, and looked at the heavily armed Irene, she said without changing her face:
"Section Chief Irene, our section chief asked me to tell you that the news you received about Blood Peony appearing at the drinking party is fake."
Hearing this, Irene's action in putting on her coat paused, and she turned back and asked in some surprise:
"How do you know?"
"Report to Chief Irene, I don't know the specifics, if you have any questions, you can go directly to our section chief."
Yilin frowned, and then decided that it was better to ask, Wei Yi might know what the inside story was, intelligence officers like them had their own sources of intelligence.
"Still."
Ripple deliberately lowered his voice, took two steps forward, and said mysteriously:
"I heard the section chief talking on the phone, it seems that a man named David wants to borrow a knife to kill people and use our intelligence department, as for what happened to this David and Blood Peony, I didn't hear clearly."
A look of annoyance flashed in Irene eyes, and then she said coldly:
"You actually eavesdropped on the chief's call."
"Chief Wei opened the door and didn't avoid me, this isn't eavesdropping!"
Ripple rolled her eyes, then muttered:
"You asked me, and I said that you buttoned my hat again, it's really hard to serve."
Irene didn't bother to pay attention to the ripples, and was ready to ask clearly, although she wanted to kill the blood peony, but she didn't want to be used as a spear by David.
Ripple subconsciously stepped aside, letting the chief walk in front, and then slammed the knife directly to stun Irene, closed the door casually and locked it, and then put the person on the chair.
Ripple quickly rummaged through the office and found nothing, and finally turned her gaze to the unconscious Irene.
The other party is so obsessed with catching the blood peony, I'm afraid it's not just because of Li Li's death, she always feels that there are other reasons, and she knows that if she asks Yilin directly, the other party will definitely not tell the truth, so she simply stunned the other party directly.
Since she can't find the answer in the office, she looks for clues in Irene.
She rummaged through Irene's body, except for guns and daggers, there was nothing to gain, and Ripple Immortal even checked the other party's ornaments, but still found nothing special.
Ripples flipped the other party's body, the force was not well controlled, and directly ripped her back collar, and then found a tattoo in the middle of the shoulder blade of the other party's back.
The moment she saw the tattoo, she connected all the clues together, because there was an identical tattoo in the same position on Fujiki Jiro's body.
This is what the original body saw when he was bullied, and the original body resisted fiercely and scratched the other party's back, only to accidentally discover the existence of the tattoo, and even was severely beaten for it and lay in bed for three days.
Looking at Irene in front of her, a touch of murderous intent flashed in Ripple's eyes, it turned out that Irene was a spy lurking in Japan, and her relationship with Fujiki Jiro was definitely not ordinary, as an intelligence collector, before the agreement was torn up, she must have known that Fujiki Jiro died at the hands of Blood Peony.
The Japanese officers who planned to shoot her that day were just pawns they discarded, in order to make her lurk deeper, and Fujiki's appearance was an accident, and Ireen didn't expect it.
Ripple seized the opportunity to avenge the original body and clear the obstacles by the way, while Irene lost an important companion, so she kept biting the blood peony.
When she saw Irene meet with the intelligence broker of country M at the drinking party, she suspected the purpose of the meeting, and the meaning of Andrew's phone call, as well as the members of the action team on the way to the reception, proved that it was Erin who was contacted by David.
David probably didn't know about this personal grudge between the two sides, and thought that he could use the Kuomintang's pursuit of Blood Peony to help him kill Blood Peony.
Ripple looked at the tattoo of the rising sun, and the result was neat, this time she directly stuffed Irene into the wooden cabinet in the office, locked the cabinet, and then locked the office door, and after making sure that no one saw it, she left directly with her bag.
At night, Ripple changed into a black night coat, quietly touched the people in ambush in country M, and sent these people to meet their God, after completing this, she put away her thunder dagger, and then dialed the phone at the reception site, indicating that David would answer.
"Hello, Mr. David, I'm Peony."
The rippling voice came into David's ears through the earpiece, and the other party's hand holding the phone tightened, and then pretended to be casual and said:
"Hello, Miss Peony, I've heard of the name for a long time, Andrew told me you want to negotiate a deal with me, I've been waiting for a long time, I don't know when you will arrive?"
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't meet today, because Mr. David is not sincere, so I canceled this meeting, but I have prepared a gift for you, I hope you like it."
After saying that, he chuckled and hung up the phone.
David, who was on the other side, suddenly tightened his heart, and some bad premonitions came to his mind, he seemed to think of something, and then his face changed, and he threw down the phone and left the reception in a hurry.
Half an hour later, he went to see Andrew with a pale face.
"Andrew, they're all dead!"
David spoke without a beginning or an end.
But Andrew understood, what David did, he could vaguely guess.
"Dear David, it's not a good thing that you've angered Blood Peony!"
See you tomorrow~ Wait for everyone to leave a message for the next plane.
