Chapter 197: Losses in Men and Generals

sker Wu Lianyi, they lost their chance. Now, they have to find a way to break through.Ma Tao took a deep breath, nodded to Yun Rou, and pushed the door open with all his might. The two doors seemed un..."A bunch of idiots, five people can't even keep a woman! The Empire raised them for nothing."

Kiyata, seeing that there were five men who could no longer be saved, his temples throbbed with anger. This was a shame for them, the soldiers of their empire.

“Mr. Miyata, three of them were shot dead, and the other two had their necks broken. The back window was wide open, so I suspect they escaped by jumping out. I've already arranged for people to block off the alley behind the bar; they are searching for any traces of them.”

Miyata's deputy immediately stepped forward to report the situation.

"Look closer! Ask around here, the killer who shot someone wouldn't have made no noise if they were careful. Since nobody's alarmed, she must have used a silenced handgun."

She could have left grandly, but now she chose to jump out the window. It must be because our arrival startled her, so she chose to flee.

"He can't have gotten far in such a short time. Have people spread out from here and search the area immediately! I want him alive!"

"Yes!"

The deputy, having heard Miyata's analysis, reacted quickly and left the private room on the second floor, leaving a portion of the men to control the information brokers on the first floor while he questioned them one by one. He, meanwhile, took the remaining soldiers and began searching the surrounding area.

Miyata went to see the bar owner. The man was a tall and burly German with a large mustache. He wore a well-fitted gray three-piece suit, with a golden pocket watch on his jacket lapel. His signature emerald green eyes were fixed on Miyata, and he held a cigar between his fingers as he spoke in accented Mandarin:

"Mr. Miyata, this is the first time such a bloody incident has occurred here. I deeply regret the loss of your country's intelligence personnel."

Miyata's eyes flashed, and she immediately spoke:

"Are you the boss here What's your name"

"Oh, my mistake! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Andrew, and I'm in charge of the day-to-day running of the bar. We just provide a place for you all to exchange information; we don't get involved in anything else."

And we have rules here, no creating bloody incidents. Even if there are grudges, they need to be resolved outside of this place. Clearly, Miss Peony broke the rules, and from now on she will be considered an unwelcome guest."

Andrew shrugged helplessly.

"To my knowledge, the second time peonies appeared, there was a murder nearby."

I've heard about this, but the murder didn't happen on my turf, and no one saw who did it. Naturally, we couldn't refuse Miss Peony from coming to the bar. Besides, the information she provided was quite accurate.

Andrew gazed at Miyata with hawk-like eyes, speaking slowly but laying bare every detail.

Andrew was well aware that Miss Peony had released information about having a hit list of high-ranking Japanese military officers in her possession. Now, with five senior Japanese officers dead in succession, the value of this intelligence was undeniable, which is why Japanese intelligence personnel were so frantic.

Even breaking the rules of their intelligence community, the squad got involved in information trading. They tried to obtain information by force and arrest people. If he were that Miss Peony, he wouldn't let those people leave alive.

Of course, he thought differently in his heart, but on his face, he put on a regretful expression and said that he would not receive this Peony Miss again to sell information on his turf.

Miyata knew he wouldn't get any useful information from this Andrew. He simply stated that he wanted to take the body away, and naturally, Andrew was happy to comply.

Before leaving, Miyata's assistant brought the bar staff to see him.

"Sir, this waiter had close contact with Miss Peony. He knows some information about her."

The waiter also looked towards his boss, Andrew. Of course, he remembered who paid him. Only after receiving a nod from Andrew did he open his mouth and say:

When Miss Peony came to the bar for the first time, Mr. John Lee took the initiative to chat with her. Although I didn't hear what they were saying, judging from their expressions, the two seemed to know each other and their relationship seemed somewhat ambiguous.

Miyata went over John Lee's name in his mind, and immediately knew the country he played for. His brow furrowed even tighter.

Has John Lee come here after that Did he see Miss Peony

After that, John Lee never came back. Instead, Miss Peony came twice, but everyone knew she was formidable, so no one dared to bother her.

"Do you know anything else"

“I didn’t pay much attention to the others because Miss Peony was so beautiful, so I focused on her more. She has only been here four times, including today.”

The waiter answered truthfully.

Miya directly waved his hand, dismissing the waiter. Andrew just kept smoking his cigar and didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, the questioning ended, and the soldier responsible for the search returned to the bar, bringing with him a man, who was John Lee.

When he was brought before Miyata flanked by two soldiers, John Riley was extremely displeased. He barked at the Japanese soldiers to let go, and after they complied, he straightened his suit with displeasure and asked:

"Excuse me, what are you doing bringing me here against my will"

Miyata looked at the soldiers who had come to arrest him. The soldier immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"As we were searching around the bar, we noticed this gentleman parked his car in the alleyway just up ahead, seemingly waiting for someone. We wanted to approach him and ask some questions, but he was about to turn and leave, so we stopped him."

“I only heard that Peony came to the bar and was going to look for her. Unexpectedly, just as I got close by, I saw military vehicles from your country. I didn't dare to enter rashly, so I'm about to leave.”

John frowned. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What you're saying is that you came to see Peony, but when you saw us here, you left. Was it because you were certain you wouldn't get to see Peony, or was there some arrangement between you"

Miyata narrowed his eyes and asked directly.

"Need I explain The latest information released by the Peony faction is what you Japanese should be most concerned about, especially after those five military officer assassinations."

"Judging from your activity tonight, it's definitely not a fair trade information. Peony wouldn't sit idly by, she probably left before you arrived."

John explained calmly.

"It seems Mr. John Lee knows this peony well"

Miyata pressed further.

"I wouldn't say I understand. It's just that I've already suffered losses at her hands. She hurt me and took something valuable from me. I heard she would be here tonight, so I wanted to take this opportunity to get my things back. But it seems like I arrived at a very bad time."

John sighed somewhat helplessly.

"Injured It seems Miss Peony has some background."

Miyata raised an eyebrow. He believed only half of what the other person said; the rest was up to him to investigate.

Poor John Lee was once again being taken away in a car, but this time he was remarkably calm. He knew very well that his captors didn't have the guts to harm a high-ranking MI intelligence officer.

On the other side, the man tracking the ripples lost his target again and was looking around in confusion. of it on the horizon. Hui Niang saw her daughter back and asked:"Ripples, where did you go Why are you back so late""So I wandered around the nearby area. I was hoping to find some wild vegetables,...
