Chapter 222 The Civet Cat Dies
Chapter 222 The Civet Cat Dies
The raccoon cat died, or to be more precise, the tall and thin woman died. When someone reported to the second young master that the tall and thin woman did not come back on time, the second young master subconsciously realized that something was wrong.
So the second young master quickly ordered people to look for the tall and thin woman, to find her alive or dead.
The intelligence officers hurried out to look for someone, but they found the tall and thin woman at the first stop, or rather, they found the tall and thin woman's body.
Through the preliminary on-site inspection, the person in charge stated that the tall and thin woman was attacked by someone familiar to her, which was why she appeared defenseless and did not even show signs of struggle or resistance.
"The murderer is a veteran and killed him with one shot," the person in charge concluded.
"The murderer is a veteran and killed him with one strike." The intelligence officer who was responsible for reporting to the second young master conveyed the words of the person in charge truthfully. After he finished this last sentence, he waited quietly for the second young master to speak.
"It seems like there is a traitor. I don't know how much information he has extracted." The second young master sighed helplessly. He closed the book and closed his eyes to think.
After a long time, the second young master finally opened his eyes and decided to start his ghost catching plan. Little did he know that he had fallen into a trap set by a civet cat.
It is not uncommon to replace personnel in the courtyard where Zhang Wei and others were under house arrest, but this is the first time that all the staff have been replaced.
Those who were replaced hung their heads, and some even looked frightened because of some rumors.
Those who came to replace their employees were all very excited. They were not excited because coming here would improve their welfare benefits, but because they felt they had a sense of justice in getting rid of harm for the country.
Because of their sense of justice, the officers, soldiers and servants stationed in the courtyard treated Zhang Wei and others as prisoners because they were unable to vent their emotions.
The result was that after a few sounds of windows and doors breaking, several officers, soldiers and servants fell from the second floor.
After hearing the noise, a large number of soldiers rushed to the second floor and pointed their guns at Zhang Wei.
"Shoot, shoot?" Zhang Wei opened his arms and let the other party shoot.
No one dared to open fire because no one could bear the diplomatic consequences of opening fire.
"If you don't dare to shoot, just put your guns down. We are giving you face. If you don't want it, then let's fight." Zhang Wei asked the officers and soldiers to put down their weapons, but no one was willing to do so.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a charming woman pushed aside the soldiers blocking the way and came in front of Zhang Wei.
"Retreat, there are so many people, don't you feel crowded?" After the woman said this, the officers on the scene were the first to put down their weapons. Seeing this, the other soldiers had no choice but to put down their weapons and retreat from the second floor.
"Why are you so angry? You're so angry that you don't even know it. My name is Kelly, and I'm responsible for taking care of your food and daily life."
"You guys seem to know my hobbies quite well. You're providing one-on-one service now, right?" Zhang Wei patted his thigh.
Kelly sat on Zhang Wei's lap very obediently. She didn't care what other people thought of her. Instead, she put her arms around Zhang Wei's neck and said delicately, "Only you deserve this treatment."
"Then I'm really honored. It's a pity that I'm a person who gets bored easily. I don't like it after I've played it. You have to manage your time well." Zhang Wei said, and was about to hug Kelly's slender waist.
Kelly, however, left Zhang Wei like a water snake. She smiled and said, "I can't do that today. I'll come back when you need me the most. Then maybe I can break your habit of getting bored with the old and liking the new."
After Kelly finished speaking, she gave Zhang Wei a wink and left.
The counterintelligence work of the Grand Duchy of Naima in the port of Libervie was extremely efficient. Personnel were replaced in the morning and the interrogation results were placed on the desk of the second young master in the evening.
The second young master didn't even look at it and directly asked the person who submitted the report to report.
"Um..." The reporter licked his lips and said, "We have discovered new intelligence."
"Speak." The Second Young Master knew that this person was deliberately changing the order of reporting, but he still allowed the reporter to report.
"We noticed that Sheri (the tall, thin woman) smelled wrong."
"What do you mean?" The second young master frowned slightly. It was obvious that he didn't like such vague statements.
"Through interrogation, some people said that the tall and thin woman changed her perfume a few days before the incident. You know, women are more sensitive to this kind of smell, and according to the informant, the tall and thin woman never changes her perfume, and she always keeps a bottle on hand. Every time before it runs out, she will send someone to buy another bottle as a backup. Not to mention, when checking her room, we found that there was still more than half a bottle of the perfume she usually used in her room, and the backup bottle was full."
"In other words, according to your theory, someone replaced Xie Li without her noticing, and then for some unknown reason, without being exposed, killed Xie Li, and then disappeared just like that?"
"This possibility is very high. We sent a female intelligence officer to investigate this change and confirmed that the scent on the body was the scent of Xie Li's usual perfume. When Xie Li left that day, she was not wearing her usual perfume. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the person that day was not the same person as Xie Li."
"Very good, so here comes the question, why did the person who replaced her leave such an obvious loophole? Would it be a problem if she continued to use XXX's perfume? Since they wanted to kill Xie Li, why didn't they replace Xie Li's scent?"
The second young master's words immediately silenced the reporter.
"Let me tell you what you think. You think this ghost-catching operation is a trap set up by the other party to disrupt us, so you want to plead for them, right? Don't tell me that you didn't notice that these people were not passive and lazy during the operation, and even accepted bribes from the delegation, and sometimes even helped the delegation members."
As the second young master spoke, he tapped the stack of reports with his index finger.
Beads of sweat began to appear on the reporter's forehead. The reason why he changed the order of reporting was actually to ask for favors. Of course, if he hadn't received huge benefits, he wouldn't have put himself in danger.
"More importantly, you want to tell me that my identity has been exposed, and the enemy spies of the Principality of Hasa already know that I am here, so my situation is very dangerous. I should leave here as soon as possible and return to the capital, right?"
The reporter was sweating profusely, soaking the clothes on his back.
"You're not thinking about my safety, it's just that you think I'm in the way."
The second young master's words made the reporter kneel down and beg for mercy.
"I don't care what you think. I just want you to remember who I am, who I will be, and who you will rely on in the future. I don't care if you take bribes or even collaborate with the enemy. But you must know who to be loyal to and whose orders to obey!"
The reporter was now kowtowing continuously, like pounding garlic.
