Chapter 7 Life Spy Dead Spy


"There are two kinds of spies, one is alive and the other is dead.
" The third uncle raised the two fingers with different lengths to emphasize, but there were occasional moments when he had nothing to say. After a long time, He lowered his hand and suddenly lost his interest. He didn't make any extra explanation, but said, "You will only understand if you have experienced it."

The two spies who had just entered the industry experienced a life-and-death crisis before they figured out what their mission was.

Lu Linbei reacted faster and fell to Lu Yezhou, but after he fell to the ground, his mind was blank and he couldn't remember what to do next.

Lu Yezhou was just the opposite. He was stunned for a moment at first, but after he fell to the ground, he reacted very quickly. He pushed Lu Linbei away, stood up, and ran away.

Lu Linbei sat on the street for a while before standing up. His brain gradually returned to normal, and he understood that Lu Yezhou was not running away, but chasing people.

Just as they fell to the ground, someone walked past them quickly.

He stayed where he was, looking for clues everywhere. From time to time, pedestrians would pass by and cast surprising glances.

More than ten minutes later, Lu Yezhou came back, panting, "I didn't catch up, he ran too fast. What did you find?"

Lu Linbei pointed to a small pothole on the wall.

The street lights were dim, Lu Yezhou reached out and touched for a while, recalling the lessons the teacher taught, frowning: "This is..."

Lu Linbei nodded.

The two did not speak any more, and walked back to their residence, one after the other, when entering the building and stepping up the stairs, every step was full of vigilance.

There were no outsiders in the room, and nothing had changed. They still checked again and locked the door.

"Contact Lao Qian." Lu Yezhou suggested.

"Don't worry, figure out what's going on first."

"What else is going on?" Lu Yezhou couldn't help but be in a hurry, "We are being used as bait!"

"First, what is the attraction between us? Second, the fish has already taken the bait. Why didn't anyone take the bait, but let the assassin run away?"

Lu Yezhou sat heavily on the sofa with a look of discouragement, "Is that really a one-word arrow?"

"I think it is."

There are various kinds of weapons for spies, one of which is very popular. It is said to be an arrow, but it is actually a gun. A particle bomb, the user holds it in his hand and presses the firing switch at the end with his pinky finger.

The effective range of the weapon is no more than ten meters. The advantages are that it is easy to manufacture, easy to carry, and easy to hide. There is no need to make extra movements when shooting, and there is almost no sound.

This makes it more like a dagger and more powerful.

The teacher once showed a picture of a one-word arrow, introduced the general principle, and then burned the picture to ashes on the spot.

Students are not allowed to touch real weapons because most of them have no access to it.

Lu Yezhou didn't say a word for a while, his face changed, he raised his head and said, "That's how the barber was killed."

Lu Linbei nodded. Although the news never mentioned the assassination weapon, some details revealed that the barber's wound was very much like a single arrow.

"Why? Why? Why..."

Suddenly there were light footsteps outside the door, and the two people in the room jumped up at the same time, jumped to the door, and stood on both sides of the door frame, waiting for them.

They have learned some bare-handed fighting techniques. Lu Linbei's grades are poor, while Lu Yezhou is better, so later, Lu Linbei will first rush to attract the enemy's attention, and then Lu Yezhou will launch a heavy blow.

Without speaking, the two made a plan with their eyes.

The footsteps passed by the door and went away. The two did not relax their vigilance and continued to monitor. They had learned a similar trick: pretending to pass by to deceive each other's trust, and then quietly return to launch a surprise attack.

This time they overreacted, and the footsteps outside clearly belonged to other residents on the same floor.

After a long time, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and slowly sat down on the floor.

Lu Yezhou suddenly jumped up, ran to the living room window, hid behind the curtains and looked out, and then closed the curtains gently after observing for a long time.

The two never turned on the lights, and the curtains blocked most of the lights on the street.

Lu Yezhou sat down on the sofa and asked, "I really don't need to contact Lao Qian?"

"No need." Lu Linbei said firmly, standing up slowly, his panic was fading, and his mind returned to normal, "Wait for him, it's best not to contact anyone at this time. The organization may use us as bait, So does the other side."

Pretending to assassinate two lower-level spies and lure the upper-level big fish to appear is also one of the spy tricks.

"You're right." Lu Yezhou seemed to be weak, his physical strength had already recovered, but his emotions were not yet there.

"Did you see that man?"

"I saw it, but it was useless. He was wearing the clothes of a street kid, wrapped tightly, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from the way he was running, he should be an adult in his twenties or thirties."

"He didn't fire the second shot."

"Probably because he only had one bullet."

"Assassinate two people with one bullet?"

"Ah!" Lu Yezhou howled twice, "What the hell is going on? I'm about to go crazy. If I come again, I must ask clearly."

The lights on the street were always on and off, but they didn't go out all night. The two of them didn't dare to sleep, and they didn't want to sleep. As soon as there was a sound, they ran to the door to be alert.

Lu Yezhou found a kitchen knife from the kitchen that had not been used for a long time, and kept it at hand.

Lu Linbei felt that this was not the way to go, "I want to check some information, at least to find out why we became the target of assassination, it must be related to identity."

"Check it out, that's your forte, I'll guard the door."

Said to be the gatekeeper, Lu Yezhou patrolled around every few minutes, not letting go of any clues.

After midnight, the noise on the street disappeared, and the occasional sound became more harsh. Lu Linbei was concentrating on the information on the Internet. He used a microcomputer to surf the Internet, browse major sites and forums, most of which only read the title, sometimes I'll read the first paragraph or two.

More than three months later, the murder of the heir to the planet is still the focus of the most attention. There are so many articles that one person can't read them in a lifetime. Even just reading the title is a huge project.

Lu Linbei looked dizzy and had to stop and rest for a while.

The room was still dark, Lu Yezhou moved a dining chair to the door, sat still, and said, "I haven't thanked you yet."

"no need thank me?"

"If it wasn't for your pounce, I might have..."

"In our line of work, it is inevitable to encounter such a thing. If it is you, you will also protect me."

"But we didn't get into the business at all!" Lu Yezhou was a little angry, "I've been thinking about the scene at that time."

"What did you think of?"

"That man, that killer, came for me, so he only had one bullet because he didn't want to kill you."

"Are you sure?"

"Although most of the killer's face was covered, his gaze—I remember it clearly, it was an extremely hateful gaze, definitely a personal grudge. I was the target, at least 70% of me, no, nine Take hold."

Lu Linbei said nothing.

"The organization behind Miss Yuan is here to take revenge." Lu Yezhou said this without anger, fear, excitement, or emotion.

"The news of the Cui family is well-informed." Lu Linbei didn't know how to comfort him.

"There are traitors on the farm!" Lu Yezhou became indignant again, "Those policemen are not strict, maybe one of them leaked the news."

Lu Yezhou complained for a long time before calming down.

Lu Linbei asked: "Have you ever thought about why the Cui family sent an external spy to lure Lao Qian? Why did Lao Qian have to kill her? Why is the Cui family so eager to take revenge? After all, these two families have already maintained Peaceful years."

"I...I don't know, in short...maybe the peace has been broken, after all, the spy who was killed is always classified as an accident, so the news won't go into depth, ordinary people don't know anything, even we are kept in the dark ." Lu Yezhou held the hilt tightly, he hated the feeling of being kept in the dark, especially when the war might have begun.

"You're right, maybe we're just unlucky. When we first joined the organization, we encountered such a thing... If you were killed, what kind of accident would it be classified as?"

"What's the meaning?"

"If you were killed in the street just now, there will definitely be news. Your wound is the same as that of the planet's heir, and the location of the assassination is close. There must be sensitive reporters who linked the two incidents. This is not an accident."

Lu Yezhou couldn't answer, "Old Qian knows the details, I... Next time he comes, I must ask him clearly."

"You better sleep for a while."

Lu Yezhou was not sleepy, "Do you think Lao Qian will tell the truth?"

"No." Lu Linbei is very sure of this. "He won't say anything."

Before seeing Mei Qianzhong himself, Lu Yezhou was already in a three-pointed decline, "If it's not up to him, I have to ask, I have to ask."

Lu Linbei continued to browse the information, divided potentially useful articles into several categories and stored them in a separate folder, which is one of his specialties.

He was busy until dawn, and when he took off the display glasses, he saw Lu Yezhou fell asleep on the chair, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

Lu Linbei got up together, and Lu Yezhou woke up with him. The first thing he did was to find a knife. He held it in his hand and let out a sigh of relief, "I had a nightmare just now... Have you found any clues?"

"The murder of the heir has a great impact. The Star Alliance has been putting pressure on the Zhai Wangxing Joint Committee to find the murderer and the main messenger behind it as soon as possible."

"It's ridiculous, the barber is a citizen of our Zhai Wangxing. It is a good thing for Zhai Wangxing that he can inherit the planet. His murder must be a conspiracy of other planets.

"The matter is very complicated, there is too little relevant information, and I am not very clear. There are many conspiracy theories on the Internet, everyone is well-informed, and some of them have already guessed spy weapons, but the conclusion is really incredible."

"The murderer hasn't fallen yet?"

"No, it is widely speculated that an extremist group did it."

"It's none of our business."

"No."

"It has nothing to do with the Mei family and the Cui family."

"No."

Lu Yezhou put down the knife, raised his hand and rubbed his face fiercely for a while, "I'm about to become the dead spy the third uncle said, and I died inexplicably. What kind of eyes do you have?"

Lu Linbei had been staring at Lu Yezhou unknowingly. At this time, he moved his eyes slightly and smiled, "I'm thinking... Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I do have a bold idea."

"Come on, it's not reporting work, what else can we hide between you and me?"

"Online sources say that Starlink is still looking for a new planetary heir."

"Didn't you say that the barber is the only descendant of the Shao family?"

"The barber is the only official descendant of the Shao family."

"Any unofficial descendants? I've never heard of that term."

"The Star Alliance will hold a council meeting next month, and there are rumors that the inheritance law will be revised."

"and then?"

"Interstellar orphans may have the inheritance qualifications of blood relatives."

"And then what?"

"If you were assassinated for the same reason the barber was assassinated..."

"Then I'm the Shao family..."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Yezhou fell from the chair in fright.
