Chapter 225: Strength Speaks
rn drawn in human blood. Around her, ten or so torches were burning, their flames blue-green and rather unsettling to look at.She tried to get up, but she felt as if her body was imprisoned. She frown...Wei Yi's words carried a lot of information, so Yang Bin took a moment to process them before saying:
"Based on my understanding of this Blood Peony, Director Eileen is almost certainly in grave danger. The reason she hasn't moved against the troops is that she doesn't intend to directly clash with the Nationalist Party for now. It's also a warning to us who keep pestering her."
For the intelligence operatives from M country, she was anything but polite. She acted decisively and ruthlessly because she knew those people couldn't touch her. After all, this was Chinese territory.
Yang Bin calmly analyzed, "Deserving of being a senior intelligence analyst."
"Your analysis is similar to mine. Now, Director Chiang has asked me to temporarily take over Eilin's position and requires us to find her as soon as possible. Let's start by tracing her whereabouts."
"Yes, Chief!"
"It's too late today, let's rest and start acting tomorrow."
"Okay, Section Chief, it's getting late. You should go back to rest too!"
Yang Bin, as a considerate subordinate, immediately said.
After parting ways, Wei Yi felt uneasy and wanted to contact Peony to confirm if it was her who did it. However, he didn't want the other party to be in danger. With this conflicted feeling, he returned to his residence.
The moment the lights flickered on, he saw Miss Peony sitting on the pearwood armchair in the living room, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
"How can I come back"
Ripples furrowed her brow and asked.
Because Eileen went missing.
"I killed him."
To Lin's so straightforward and generous admission, Wei Yi was somewhat surprised. He then frowned and asked:
What's her problem
"Things are serious, she's a Japanese spy who has been embedded here. Now you should know why she won't let go of me, right"
"The assassination list I gave you, half of those people I killed. On the surface, I'm helping the Nationalist Party, but in reality, I'm also helping you."
Do you have any evidence
"Do you still remember Fujiwara Jirō"
Remember, although the body was taken away by Japanese military officials, the first to arrive were the gendarmerie. They conducted a preliminary autopsy.
"That's great! I also prepared a gift for you, it's in Eileen's office desk drawer. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After finishing her words, Lian Ri gracefully rose to her feet and bid farewell before leaving Wei Yi's residence.
Because of Ripple's single sentence, Wei Yi tossed and turned all night. The next day, he went to the intelligence department with panda eyes.
When ripples met Wei Yi, she gave a slightly surprised salute and greeting before continuing with her auxiliary tasks.
Wei Yi steadied his mind. On one hand, he arranged for Yang Bin to take people to ask the intelligence gathering department about Ilyn's recent whereabouts. He, on the other hand, took a few people directly to Ilyn's office.
I only found out that the other party had disappeared yesterday afternoon, so Eileen's office was temporarily locked up and no detailed search was conducted. There were always people guarding the door, waiting for Wei Yi to bring people over, and only then did the colleague on duty leave.
"Search this place carefully, don't miss any clues!"
Yes, sir!
Five people simultaneously took action, eager to dismantle the table piece by piece, leaving no detail untouched.
"Sir, Eileen is here."
A man who had broken a cabinet lock cried out in alarm.
This instantly grabbed everyone's attention. Wei Yi's heart skipped a beat. Peony was too bold, placing the body in Eileen's own office. This must be what she meant by "a gift for herself."
Wei Yi strode forward, looking at Eileen who was being pulled out from the cabinet. Her body was stiff and curled up.
"Notify the coroner immediately, and report to Chief Chiang that we have found him."
Wei Yi issued the order without looking up.
"Yes!"
After the two people left, Eileen's office was immediately empty. This is a blatant slap in the face!
Wei Yi stepped forward, using a pen to prod at Yilin's clothes, looking for any clues. He didn't see any bloodstains, proving that the opponent hadn't killed her with a hot weapon or blade. However, he found bruising on the side of Yilin's neck, clearly showing that she had been knocked unconscious by the attacker.
Then he noticed the torn collar and faintly, he saw that there seemed to be something drawn on Eileen's back. He pulled the collar down with his hand, and a sunrise tattoo came into view.
Wei Yi's pupils shrank, immediately understanding why Mu Dan had brought up Fujiki Jiro. The military police autopsy report did indeed mention a tattoo on the other person's back.
At this time, the coroner also arrived. After Eileen was taken away, Wei Yi went to see Chiang Shang.
“Director Chiang, Eileen’s death was not undeserved.”
"Have you noticed anything"
She must be a spy sent from Japan.
"Where's the evidence"
She had a tattoo of a rising sun on her back.
That's not very strong evidence.
Jiang frowned.
"Toshiki Fujii, who had once been the target of an assassination attempt, was found in the same location with the same tattoo."
"I understand. Go check the files and see to it. It seems like we have Blood Peony to thank this time."
A Japanese intelligence spy had even infiltrated the Intelligence Department, lurking there for so long, who knows how much information he sold to the enemy, it's truly terrifying. Chiang used an unquestionable tone and ordered Wei Yi...
"Yes, sir!"
Wei Yi immediately replied.
Very soon, the KMT Intelligence Department was slapped in the face. The evidence proving the other party was a Japanese intelligence officer was placed right before Chiang Shang.
Eileen is a real person, but the current Eileen is not the original Eileen. This Japanese spy chose this girl to infiltrate under a clean identity. The original owner's fate is self-evident.
"Write a report and I will personally deliver it. Keep this matter confidential."
"Yes, understood!"
Wei Yi nodded, saying that it was a shame for the Kuomintang to lose this person.
"Did you say the Blood Peony was intentional or unintentional"
Jiang Shang suddenly said.
I think she did it on purpose, otherwise she wouldn't have ripped the other person's collar and left such a blatant hint.
Wei Yi spoke the truth, he was indeed a person who received tips.
Chiang Shang was also speechless. Xue Bodan had indeed slapped them in the face, but it had also eliminated their hidden dangers.
A month later, Eileen's death had settled completely, and the Intelligence Gathering Department was directly disbanded. All members of the department were separated and sent to different locations for one-on-one scrutiny.
Erin must have had help to stay hidden for so long. She worked most closely with the intelligence gathering team, so none of them can get away with this.
After learning the news, Lian Yi made a groundbreaking decision to treat everyone in her department to a meal at Fu Yun Lou. She didn't try to hide her joy at all upon learning about Yi Lin's passing.
"Xia Wu, can't you be more low-key"
Yang Bin felt a little helpless, thinking this girl was a bit too showy.
"I'm so happy! The Intelligence Department caught a Japanese spy, and I also got rid of my nemesis who always tried to get me in trouble. These are all things to celebrate. Just thinking about how we used to face such people every day makes me break out in a cold sweat."
"Let's just keep this between us, don't go spreading it around. Let's get started with the meal!"
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"
Lian Yi said cheerfully, "I'm in a very good mood."
The ripples slept until past noon the next day because he had drunk two extra cups, but then received a call from Lao Wu.assen wouldn't dare underestimate the ripple effect. As the son of the Rhoden family, simply showing closeness to the White family was already a huge boost."Mr. Hasen, does your family's trade extend...
