Chapter 244: Study Murder
Zuo Xing fell down, blood flowed from his body, staining his white shirt red.
Lin Ruotang didn't rush to leave. Instead, she returned to the sofa, sat down, picked up the wine glass, shook it, raised the corners of her mouth, and drank it in one gulp.
My head was dizzy, and I held on to the wall and lay down near the flower pot, gradually losing consciousness.
Luo Yining and Duyan confronted each other for a long time, and neither of them seemed to dare to act rashly.
Luo Yining suddenly laughed, looked behind the one-eyed man and said:
"You finally came…"
In the few seconds when the one-eyed man turned around, she immediately pulled the trigger and shot the one-eyed man right in the heart.
Luo Yining put away the gun, walked to the one-eyed corpse, stomped her high heels, and looked contemptuous.
"You're not the only one with good marksmanship!"
After she finished speaking, she pinched the small bag again and walked away swaying her snake-like waist.
After a long time, Wu Youxiang stood up and shook his head.
Seeing Zuo Xing and Lin Ruotang both lying on the ground, he stumbled over and saw that Lin Ruotang was neatly dressed. He put his finger on her nose and felt relieved when he saw that she was breathing.
Turning around, he found a pool of blood behind Zuo Xing. He stood by and took a look, but didn't go over there because that would leave its mark. He wasn't used to taking the blame for his actions.
He came to Lin Ruotang and whispered:
"Secretary Lin!"
"Ms. Lin..."
"Lin Ruotang?"
But Lin Ruotang didn't respond at all, it seemed that she was really unconscious. Wu Youwang looked at Lin Ruotang's fair face and touched her face with his fingers.
His eyes fell on those rosy and attractive lips, and he slowly leaned down...
"Clap, clap!"
Hearing a long series of footsteps, Wu Youhao felt regretful. After standing up, he ran two or three steps to the place where he fainted.
As soon as he lay down, he found something wrong. He sat up and looked at the coffee table, and found that Lin Ruotang's glass of wine, which had hardly been touched, had been drunk by someone.
"crunch"
Wu Youxiang immediately lay down, closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, but he was wondering in his heart whether Zuo Xing’s death had anything to do with Lin Ruotang?
After receiving the news, Guan Hao and Tian Yayufu came to Zuo Xing's study. When they saw the three people lying down, they were shocked. They thought they might all be dead.
"Luckily, it wasn't three deaths, but just one."
Hearing what Taya Yufu said, Guan Hao's mouth twitched.
"Let's put Secretary Lin on the sofa first!"
When Lin Ruotang woke up, she found herself sitting on the sofa with Guan Hao, Taya Yufu and others beside her.
She stared at them blankly.
"Director Guan, why are you here?"
"Secretary Lin, why did you faint?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang's face darkened. She glanced around and asked in a low voice:
"Where is President Zuo?"
Guan Hao pointed at the corpse covered with white cloth next to him. Lin Ruotang sneered.
"Die well!"
Guan Hao coughed and covered his lips with his hands.
"Keep your voice down!"
"He's such a piece of shit. I'm just a secretary, and the higher-ups don't care about me. He doesn't even take Director Guan seriously..."
Hearing Lin Ruotang say this, Guan Hao put down his hand and his eyes darkened. This was something Zuo Xing could say.
"I already told you, it was President Zuo who asked us to come up. Many people saw it. When we came up, he gave Secretary Lin and I some drinks. I don't know what happened after that."
Wu Youhao finished speaking, his eyes showing impatience.
Tian Gu Yufu looked at Lin Ruotang and asked in a low voice:
"Is what Director Wu said true?"
Lin Ruotang's face darkened and he whispered:
"President Zuo has been pestering me all the time and even drugged me. I passed out and didn't know anything..."
"Did you see who killed President Zuo?"
Taya Yufu asked,
"I didn't see it. He was fine before I passed out!"
After hearing what Lin Ruotang said, Taya Yufu felt a little regretful. After all, not every newspaper dared to speak for the spies and the Japanese.
"Director Wu told me to leave quickly and got into an argument with President Zuo. I was drugged and couldn't move at all. I don't know how I ended up fainting."
"Judging from the gunshot wound and bullet marks, the shot came from behind President Zuo. This must have been fired by someone outside the door."
The inspector's words ruled out Wu Youxiang and Lin Ruotang.
"Do you think it could be someone from the Military Control Commission..."
"boom"
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
Xie Wuwei looked around and found Lin Ruotang.
"how's it going?"
"My head hurts!"
Lin Ruotang said aggrievedly that the drug had a very strong effect and his head was throbbing now.
Wu Youxiang sat on the sofa, watching Lin Ruotang fall softly into Xie Wuwei's arms, with a smile on his face.
If he hadn't seen Lin Ruotang pushing over the flowerpot before he fainted, it would have seemed that Zuo Xing had been shot at that time.
Moreover, the untouched glass of wine is now gone. It must have been drunk by Lin Ruotang herself. It seems that the person who killed Zuo Xing is closely related to her.
"Secretary Lin is not feeling well now. I'll take her to the hospital!"
After Xie Wuwei finished speaking, he helped Lin Ruotang leave. When he left, he accidentally kicked Zuo Xing, and Zuo Xing's body fell out. Xie Wuwei smiled hypocritically:
"Oh my, I really didn't see why President Zuo was lying here."
"he died!"
Taya Yufu said.
Xie Wuwei was stunned and laughed dryly.
"Dead, a very good death, no, I mean a very bad death..."
After Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang left, Tian Gu Xiongfu said:
"Thank you, Section Chief..."
Guan Hao retracted his gaze.
"Section Chief Xie's behavior is understandable. President Zuo previously gave Secretary Lin a lot of gifts..."
Taya Yufu narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered:
"So, Section Chief Xie really wants President Zuo to die?"
"Indeed, but Section Chief Xie has been busy today, leading his men to track down Chen Shou. Furthermore, the bodies of Wuying and Duyan, who were with President Zuo, were also found in the alley across the street. It's clear this wasn't done by one person; it was a premeditated gang."
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Wu Youwang stood up and said:
"Then can I leave now?"
Seeing Yufu Taya nod, Wu Youxiang strode away, stepping over Zuo Xing's body.
Taya Yufu pushed up his glasses, turned to Guan Hao and said:
"It seems Director Wu and Section Chief Xie can agree on the issue of holding grudges."
Guan Hao smiled. To him, people who don’t hold grudges are fools.
Lin Ruotang returned home from the hospital, and Xie Wuwei touched her forehead.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
“Better!”
Lin Ruotang answered in a low voice, looking tired.
"You go see Chen Shou later, I won't go."
Xie Wuwei nodded and came to the Jin family. Jin Dayong and his wife had gone to a banquet and were not at home. Xie Wuwei asked the Jin family kitchen to send a plate of snacks.
Just as Dahua was about to come out with the snacks, Chen Shou snatched them away.
"I'll deliver it!"
When they arrived at the garden, Chen Shou put out the snacks and said to Xie Wuwei:
"how's it going?"
"It's done. Zuo Xing is dead. You'll see news about him in the newspaper tomorrow."
After hearing what Xie Wuwei said, Chen Shou felt relieved. He whispered:
"Now that there's no movement outside, I'm going to change my identity."
Hearing that Chen Shou was leaving, Xie Wuwei felt relieved.
In September of 1943, another major event occurred, which affected the future direction of the Secret Service.
