Chapter 29 Showing Off Her Neck Tonight
Chapter 29 Showing Off Her Neck Tonight
At 7 p.m., as night fell, the streetlights on Disiwei Road cast a dim yellow glow on the sentry post. Ando Shunji stood upright at his post, his hands behind his back.
At that moment, Japanese Lieutenant Hashimoto walked slowly over with two soldiers, raising his hand in greeting from two steps away: "Ando-kun, thank you for your hard work on duty."
Ando quickly returned the greeting: "Lieutenant Hashimoto, you're too kind. What brings you here in person?"
Hashimoto smiled and shook the file bag in his hand: "There's no other way. The General Affairs Section of the Intelligence Department of the Central China Expeditionary Army is pressing us for the monthly duty records of the Nishimura squad. These records need to be verified and reported to headquarters for filing as soon as possible."
Ando carefully checked the pass documents and stepped aside to let him through: "Of course, please go in quickly, there are people on duty in the office."
Hashimoto nodded his thanks and led the soldiers into the main building.
At 7:40 a.m., a military jeep slowly drove up and stopped in front of the sentry post.
The car window rolled down, revealing the face of Japanese Captain Matsumoto. He gestured with his chin towards Ando, speaking casually, "Good evening, Ando-kun."
Ando immediately saluted: "Good day, Captain Matsumoto!" Matsumoto pointed towards the main building: "I'm here to coordinate with Nishimura's team on the intelligence gathering for the Matsue area."
Ando gave him permission to pass, then glanced at Matsumoto and told the agent in the car, "Don't wait for me here later. I need to go to a nearby contact point after I finish the handover. You can return on your own."
The agent nodded in agreement, and after Matsumoto got out of the car, he parked it at the entrance of an alley not far away.
At 8:10, Hashimoto walked out of the main building, his file folder already neatly packed away.
He walked up to Ando, smiled, and said, "Everything has been checked and there are no problems. I'll go back and report now."
Ando nodded: "Yes, Lieutenant Hashimoto, have a safe trip."
Hashimoto patted him on the shoulder: "If there are any questions about document verification later, just have the internal staff contact the General Affairs Section directly. You won't need to make this trip again." After saying that, he slowly left the special agency along the sidewalk.
At 8:50 a.m., Matsumoto walked out of the main building, looking calm, with a folded intelligence briefing in his hand.
He walked to the sentry post, waved to Ando, and said in a relaxed tone, "Ando-kun, thank you for your hard work."
Ando saluted again: "Captain Matsumoto, take care!" Matsumoto responded and walked straight to the jeep at the alley entrance. After getting in, he drove away.
At 9:30, his colleague who was changing shifts arrived on time and patted Ando on the arm: "Ando-kun, it's my turn to take over. You can go and rest."
Ando breathed a sigh of relief, and while tidying up the guard equipment, he casually instructed, "Captain Matsumoto and Lieutenant Hashimoto were both here just now. Lieutenant Hashimoto has already gone home after his shift, and Captain Matsumoto left after receiving the intelligence, saying he still had to go to the liaison point."
His colleague nodded and took note. Ando stood aside and watched as the other person took over the post before turning and walking to the rest area. The new colleague continued to stand guard at the post until 10 o'clock.
After reading the records, Yan Shuo was considering which person to impersonate when he saw Ando Shunji come out. Perfect timing, he decided to follow him and see what he was up to.
After following for a while, Yan Shuo discovered that Ando Shunji had entered a courtyard and, damn it, closed the gate. This was… his mistress's courtyard? A sergeant, and a woman—a rich man, huh?!
Yan Shuo swiftly climbed over the wall and landed on the ground. He tiptoed to the window and, lo and behold, it was a woman. Judging from her alluring appearance and tone of voice, she seemed to be a prostitute.
After a brief display of sexual activity, Ando got up, dressed, and appeared to be leaving.
The woman tried to persuade him to stay, but Ando said he had something to do the next day and needed to get up early. He also said that it was a bit far from his workplace and would take up too much time, so he would rather stay in the dormitory, which would be more convenient.
Oh, so this guy is going back.
Yan Shuo quickly climbed over the wall and waited outside the door.
After An Teng left, Yan Shuo saw the woman lock the door and go back to rest. An Teng hummed a little tune happily, preparing to go to the road to flag down a rickshaw to go home.
Yan Shuo walked behind An Teng, swung his neck, and snapped it. An Teng's neck rotated 180 degrees, and he collapsed into Yan Shuo's arms, completely muffled.
Yan Shuo fumbled around for a moment, then pulled out a door key, a pistol, banknotes, and identification. He had Xiao Zhi scan the man's face, then waved his hand and tossed the corpse into his spatial ring.
Donning a new mask, Yan Shuo hailed a rickshaw on the street, swayed to the entrance of the Xicun Special Agent Agency, paid the fare, and went inside.
Ando's successor, a colleague, greeted him: "Ando, you're back from your fun so soon? Didn't you spend the night with some women?"
"Hehe!" Ando chuckled lewdly, then said, "Alright! I have things to do tomorrow, so it'll be easier for me to come back! I'm going to bed early, thanks for your hard work!"
"Hi! Ando-kun, get some rest." His colleague bowed and stood up straight.
Ando returned the greeting and then went inside.
Yan Shuo asked Xiao Zhi to open the bird's-eye view map, and he was able to identify several places, including the dormitory area, office area, canteen, ground floor barracks, and armory.
The luxury apartment building has three floors and is quite large. There are security guards at the entrance. Ichiro Matsui is probably resting here.
It's so late, and it's quiet everywhere. If I make any noise, the sentries will definitely notice.
Yan Shuo walked to the dormitory area, found An Teng's dormitory according to the name on the door, opened the door and went in. He opened the window a crack, took out his binoculars to observe the security situation of the apartment building, and saw if there was any opportunity.
Before long, Yan Shuo found an opportunity. He was also a sergeant named Yu Shengjingyi, who seemed to be allowed to patrol the apartment building. Sure enough, he went in once every half hour, then came out to wander around, smoke, and urinate on the tree roots in the yard. He really didn't care about anything.
Yan Shuo changed into Ando's sergeant uniform, put on his gun, adjusted his belt, looked in the mirror, and thought, "Hmm, very much like Ando Shunji."
Take off the mask, and have Xiaozhi make a mask for Yuzuru Keiichi. Put it on. Yan Shuo walked out of the yard and quietly approached Yuzuru Keiichi, who had just finished urinating and was smoking.
The two sentries were chatting, making a slight noise. Keiichi Hanyu, who was about 20 meters away from the sentries by the tree, probably couldn't hear Duanjing's voice.
Yan Shuo decided to take a gamble. He crept up behind Yu Shengjingyi, snapped his neck, and with a wave of his hand, the body was retrieved without anyone noticing—perfect.
Following Keiichi Hanyu's example, he lit a cigarette and continued smoking. As he smoked, he walked towards the sentry and offered two cigarettes to the sentry. The two sentries thanked him and lit cigarettes for each other.
Yan Shuo patted the sentry on the shoulder, signaling him not to relax his vigilance. He went inside to patrol, and the sentry greeted him with a "Hello," bowed, nodded to Yan Shuo, and then went into the apartment building.
Yes, there are sentries on duty in the corridors of each floor. I saw two at the entrance of the stairwell, two in the middle, and two at the end.
Yan Shuo inspected each room one by one. He didn't open the locked rooms, and for the unlocked ones, he sensed whether anyone was there. His physical abilities were now about three times that of a human, and his perception was also more than three times that of a human, making it easy for him to sense whether anyone was in the room.
After noting down the room number where someone was staying, Yan Shuo went upstairs.
The second floor has the same setup as the first floor, with two sentries at the front, middle, and back. Just like before, note down the room numbers of the occupied rooms and go to the third floor.
The third floor seemed to be inhabited by high-ranking officials, with twice as many sentries on duty, four in the front, middle, and back.
It's not easy to make a move.
Silent warfare seems to be failing.
