Traveling through the Republic of China: Spy Shadow Enters the Game

Zheng Manqiao pulled Lin Ruotang to the front hall to tell everyone the news.

Xie Wuwei, who was in the dark, saw Lin Ruotang and Zheng Manqiao arguing, and he felt it was difficult for him to take action, otherwise Lin Ruotang would be very suspicious. He broke a flowerpot to signal Luo Yining.

This movement caught Zheng Manqiao's attention. She immediately looked behind her vigilantly and saw a bullet flying towards her.

A flower of blood bloomed on Zheng Manqiao's forehead, and she slowly fell down.

When Lin Ruotang saw this scene, she was stunned at first, but then she calmed down immediately. She couldn't escape. She had to stay so that she could clear herself of suspicion.

After Luo Yining succeeded, he immediately returned to the bathroom, disassembled the pistol into small parts, threw it into the toilet and flushed it down.

Xie Wuwei also returned to the outside of the hotel and found Cheng Wang. Seeing that he was rushing towards the banquet hall, he naturally followed him in.

Gunshots rang out and there was chaos in the banquet hall.

Everyone rushed to the place where the gunshots were heard.

Lin Ruotang did not leave, but squatted down and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"what--"

Lin Ruotang's scream also attracted the attention of many people, and Nakai Ichiro quickly found Zheng Manqiao's body.

As soon as they came in, they saw Zheng Manqiao still wearing Japanese makeup. Her face was as white as paper, but there was a blood-red flower on her forehead. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was dying with her eyes open.

Ichiro Nakai didn't need to check, he knew she was dead.

Seeing Lin Ruotang squatting on the ground and shivering, Jin Dayong felt his head was about to explode. In order to clear Lin Ruotang of suspicion, he hurriedly asked Lin Ruotang,

"What's going on here?"

Lin Ruotang knew that this was the time to test her acting skills. She raised her head timidly, and seeing that there were people all around her, she said with lingering fear:

"I was talking to Section Chief Zheng when someone shot him from a distance!"

She stood beside Jin Dayong with a weak look on her face. Zhou Qin also frowned and glanced at Lin Ruotang, only to see Lin Ruotang secretly shaking her head at her, indicating that she didn't do it.

At this time, Yuuichi Taya squatted down and checked, and found that the gunshot wound was indeed not shot at close range.

Moreover, Zheng Manqiao's body was still warm, indicating that she had died not long ago.

At the moment, it seems that Secretary Lin is not a suspect.

Nakai Ichiro's eyes turned red with anger, and he said to the military police:

"Seal off all exits and find the person who killed Section Chief Zheng!"

Tian Gu's eyes flashed, he looked around, looked at Lin Ruotang who lowered his head and said:

"In fact, we just need to find out who left their seats, and everything will be clear."

He pushed his glasses. Lin Ruotang looked the least suspicious, yet she had been staying with Zheng Manqiao. He thought for a moment and realized that Lin Ruotang might not be so clean. He said,

"Search Secretary Lin first. Section Chief Zheng was with her until his death."

Lin Ruotang looked at Zhou Qin secretly. She still had the poison given to Zheng Manqiao on her body.

Zhou Qin received her gaze and immediately stood up and said:

"I'll search Secretary Lin!"

Lin Ruotang was wearing a cheongsam. She changed her clothes after drugging Zheng Manqiao with morphine. Otherwise, staying back there for so long for no reason would definitely arouse suspicion.

Zhou Qin's hands searched Lin Ruotang's body first, and then shook her head at Tian Gu Yufu.

"nothing."

Yufu Taya stared at Lin Ruotang for a long time, and Lin Ruotang's heart beat faster. She knew that Yufu Taya was an old fox, and it might be difficult to deceive him like this.

She touched her hair pretending to be uncomfortable. Tian Gu's eyes fell on Lin Ruotang's hair. He didn't see the floral headband just now. He stayed on Lin Ruotang for a while and asked with a smile:

"Why didn't Miss Lin have this thing on her head before?"

Lin Ruotang knew that if she appeared innocent, it would arouse even more suspicion.

The handkerchief on her head was the one she used to poison Zheng Manqiao. She had just tied it in her hair as a headband. Unexpectedly, Tian Guxiong was so perceptive.

Zhou Qin frowned, it seemed that today's incident could not be hidden from Yuuichi Taya.

Lin Ruotang had poison on her body, but Zheng Manqiao did not die from poisoning, so Lin Ruotang could have saved her.

The dead Zheng Manqiao is not as valuable as the living Lin Ruotang. The people in the Secret Service are of course aware of this. At most, Lin Ruotang will be reprimanded and suspended for a period of time.

Zhou Qin could only carefully take off the hairband and hand it to Taya Yufu.

Tian Gu Xiongfu smelled it, glanced at Zhou Qin and said:

“Almond?”

Everyone was shocked. The almond smell meant that there was cyanide on the headband, which was highly poisonous. Everyone stared at Lin Ruotang.

Lin Ruotang lowered his head, looked up as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and finally glanced at Zhou Qin.

Jin Dayong realized that the poison in his niece's body was probably closely related to Zhou Qin. Maybe it was Zhou Qin who instructed Lin Ruotang to poison Zheng Manqiao.

He glared at Lin Ruotang secretly, gritted his teeth and said in her ear:

"You do whatever she tells you to do, are you stupid?"

Lin Ruotang pouted. What could she do? She whispered:

"If you ask Secretary Chen to do something and Secretary Chen doesn't do it, what will you do?"

"Replace him, of course!"

Jin Dayong answered without hesitation, and was instantly speechless, and could only continue to stare at Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin's expression remained unchanged. She said to Taya Yufu:

"Secretary Lin had something highly toxic on her body, but Section Chief Zheng was shot to death. This has nothing to do with Secretary Lin. I don't think we need to pursue the matter of Secretary Lin having poison on her body."

Seeing Zhou Qin defending Lin Ruotang so much, a hint of doubt flashed in Tian Gu Xiongfu's eyes. Zhou Qin was not a person who valued friendship and loyalty. There was no need for her to keep speaking for a secretary, unless...

Unless this matter is related to her, he guessed so in his heart, then looked at Lin Ruotang,

"Secretary Lin, you come and explain!"

Lin Ruotang hesitated and glanced at Zhou Qin secretly.

Nakai Ichiro looked impatient and fiercely stared at Lin Ruotang.

"Secretary Lin, if you don't tell me now, go to the interrogation room and tell me."

"Who's going to the interrogation room?"

Xie Wuwei suddenly came in from outside and was stunned when he saw the circle of people.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing Xie Wuwei coming, Lin Ruotang cried and said:

"Section Chief Zheng and I were still talking when I found out who shot and killed him."

"Secretary Lin, please tell me why you carry poison with you!"

Yuufu Taya frowned and emphasized seriously.

Seeing this, Zhou Qin immediately said:

"Secretary Lin wants to kill Section Chief Zheng, and there's a reason for that. She previously locked Secretary Lin in an interrogation room and frightened her to the point of becoming ill. She'd also beaten Secretary Lin multiple times before..."

When Lin Ruotang heard this, tears streamed down her face and she said to Nakai Ichiro:

"I know this is wrong, but I really can't stand it anymore..."

She insisted that she was the one who did it, so Zhou Qin naturally had to protect her.

"I just put some medicine on the needle of the morphine she had been using. I have no idea who shot her."

Hearing Lin Ruotang say this, Tian Gu Yufu seemed to put aside his doubts. He turned around and asked:

"So what did you and Section Chief Zheng talk about that took so long?"

Lin Ruotang covered her face with her fingers. After hearing this, she said angrily:

"It's nothing more than words that humiliate me..."

After saying that, she started crying again and threw herself into Xie Wuwei's arms and sobbed.

"My niece was about to collapse in the interrogation room. If Section Chief Zheng hadn't pushed her too far, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

Seeing that the situation had improved slightly, Jin Dayong immediately stood up and spoke.

Watanabe Ren, who was next to Nakai Ichiro, suddenly walked up to Nakai Ichiro and whispered for a while. Then Nakai Ichiro looked at Luo Yining who was next to Jin Dayong.

"Mrs. Jin, you left your seat earlier?"
