Chapter 145: Banquet Murder

"It's so big!" exclaimed!
"What?" Question!
"I said my wife is so smart!" Lin Hao praised Chen Jiaying for her guess.

It took Chen Jiaying a while to react: "Rogue!"

In fact, Lin Hao did not expect that Chen Jiaying could guess his actions almost accurately. Ever since she decided to assassinate Xiangzhi Jinan, she had been consciously guiding him in this way.

Thinking of some future plans, Lin Hao said to Chen Jiaying:

"Jiaying, didn't the Japanese ask you to investigate the political donations at the reception? You directed the investigation to the Chen brothers, and so on..."

After Lin Hao explained something to Chen Jiaying, Chen Jiaying also found Kusakabu and began to make some arrangements.

Lin Hao took this opportunity to teleport out of the Peace Hotel through the bathroom as he did before. He then put on makeup, changed into a long gown, put on a bowler hat, took the tram, and came to the Jewish National Bank.

Lin Hao's target is the counterfeit banknote template, which was a trick used by Mi Lijian in the original drama to cover up political donations.

However, this counterfeit money template is real. Lin Hao plans to keep it for himself. It will be of great use in the future.

Then he opened a safe on the bank counter, and in the name of storing something, he took the opportunity to use the Traceless Extension Spell on safe DY0179, and then successfully took out the things inside.

After leaving the Jewish National Bank, Lin Hao came to the building opposite the Peace Hotel. There was also a building here, which was mainly composed of shops. There were cafes, department stores and the like on the ground floor.

There was a western restaurant on the second floor, as well as a club run by Japanese people. Lin Hao only took a glance at the women inside and knew what this club was for.

However, Lin Hao's target was this club called Futianju, because it was opposite the gate of the Peace Hotel. After investigating the best sniping location, he began to investigate the retreat route.

Lin Hao's retreat route was different from that of ordinary people. He only needed to use the Traceless Extension Spell in each room to teleport outside the wall, so it took some time here.

There is also the route back to the Peace Hotel. Lin Hao's only worry now is that the military police will surround the entire Peace Hotel. If they have a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps on the periphery, I think they will not do that.

But just in case, we still have to prepare a backup route. We can go back through the sewer, but the journey is a bit far.

After walking around the Peace Hotel, Lin Hao finally found a whole wall at the corner of the back door of the hotel. Lin Hao remembered that this should be a dance hall.

Unfortunately, the dance hall was too big, far exceeding 1300 cubic meters, so the Traceless Extension Spell could not be used, but I remember that there seemed to be a kitchen and warehouse next to the dance hall.

It seemed necessary to take a trip, so Lin Hao went through the restroom and entered the Peace Hotel. However, there were obviously more people in the hotel at this time, and a closer look revealed that many of them were plainclothes officers.

When he was about to teleport to the second floor, he sensed that there was someone there too. Lin Hao knew that he had underestimated and waited for a long time before the person on the second floor left. After arriving on the second floor, he found that there was someone in the bathroom on the third floor as well. Damn it!
Feeling the rooms around him, he found that the previously unoccupied rooms were now occupied, but Lin Hao also noticed something different; it turned out that they were from the plainclothes team.

The Peace Hotel has really been turned into a den of dragons and tigers.

When Lin Hao returned to room 316, exactly 10 minutes had passed. Lin Hao had originally thought of assassinating Xiangzhi Jinan as soon as he arrived, but now it seems he has to change the plan.

Anyway, as long as Xiangzhi Jinan dies outside the Peace Hotel instead of being assassinated at the cocktail party, it will be fine.

Because if he died in the hotel, there would be chaos and then he would have to fight wits and courage with the Japanese people. Lin Hao didn't have the time for that, and it would be too risky.

When Chen Jiaying, Kusaka Ayumu and Noma arranged the staff for the cocktail party, it was already noon and they found Lin Hao to have lunch.

"Jiaying, please take me to visit the cocktail party later. I need to make some preparations!" Lin Hao whispered in Chen Jiaying's ear.

Chen Jiaying smiled and nodded, saying, "I thought you could handle the whole game by yourself!"

"This is already considered asking for help from my dear wife!" Lin Hao said with a grin.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me. I don't want to fall for it." Although she refused verbally, the smile she couldn't suppress on her face looked adorable no matter how you looked at her.

"Then let's go!" After Lin Hao finished speaking, Chen Jiaying took Lin Hao's hand and went to the dance hall.

Chen Jiaying greeted people on the street from time to time and said:
"By the way, this morning, I blamed Nerna's escape on the Chen brothers."

"Then the issue of political donations came up, so they brought together the Chen brothers, George White, Ryan, Pavlov, and Valentina, and ended up revealing a safe."

"Guess what's inside!" Chen Jiaying looked at Lin Hao expectantly.

"Counterfeit money template!" Lin Hao said indifferently.

"How did you know? I just got the procedures for opening a safe deposit box in a Jewish bank. You are hiding something from me." Chen Jiaying asked, but she didn't find it strange at all.

"What do you think?"

Looking at the confident Lin Hao, I felt more and more mysterious about him. He was like a magician, always deceiving my eyes.

For example, things that suddenly disappear and appear in his hands are often seen. He is extremely familiar with the Peace Hotel and knows the people here very well, even the people on his side.

However, he dared to massacre the entire gendarmerie last night. When he came back, he saw him being awakened in the middle of the night. Chen Jiaying once again saw Lin Hao's reverence for life.

His temperament is also very special, with a kind of confidence that comes from the bones. In short, this person is very contradictory and seems incompatible with the people of this era.

Thinking of Lin Hao's extraordinary methods, he said:
"So, the so-called counterfeit banknote template was actually taken away by you a long time ago, right?"

"I took some time to get it this morning!"

Chen Jiaying didn't ask how he got out, but said with concern: "Then you didn't get discovered!"

"Of course! Don't you see who your husband is?"

"Virtue!"

In the afternoon, several invited guests from all walks of life came to the Peace Hotel one after another. Because Kusaka Ayumu and Noma Heiji used the strategy formulated by Chen Jiaying, the Peace Hotel was relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside.

At the same time, because George Bai and others took the initiative to cooperate and released the information about the Jewish bank safe, Rixiabu followed Chen Jiaying's method and released these six people, and allowed them to participate in Xiangzhi Jinan's cocktail party.

The lights are on, and night falls.

Vehicles stopped one after another in front of the Peace Hotel, and high-ranking officials and celebrities began to arrive at this time.

At this time in room 316, Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying were also preparing their dresses.

Lin Hao looked at himself in the mirror, looking energetic and handsome, and adjusted the collar of his black suit. "Let me do it!" Chen Jiaying, who was standing by, said subconsciously.

Looking at Chen Jiaying adjusting her collar, Lin Hao liked her more and more.

Looking down at Chen Jiaying's beautiful profile, Lin Hao said with a smile:

"Jiaying, you really are becoming more and more like a wife!"

Chen Jiaying rolled her eyes at Lin Hao, turned around to pack her clothes, but her heart was filled with excitement.

Looking at Chen Jiaying's shy appearance, Lin Hao couldn't help but hug her from behind, resting his head on her neck, smelling her fragrance, and whispering in Chen Jiaying's ear:

"Look at yourself in the mirror, you are as beautiful as a delicate rose!"

When Chen Jiaying woke up this morning, she felt like she was a few years younger. Her face was rosy and her skin seemed as smooth as a baby's. Perhaps this is the nourishment of love!
So she did not resist Lin Hao's intimacy. Instead, she enjoyed Lin Hao's praise of her. This feeling made her even happier.

Thinking that the cocktail party was about to begin, Lin Hao stretched out his hand and Chen Jiaying held his arm. When they stepped into the banquet hall, there were already many people holding wine glasses and chatting with others.

Suddenly, Lin Hao noticed a person on the second floor. The banquet had just begun, and Yao Hong was already drunk.

I saw Yao Hong lying on the railing on the second floor, holding a bottle of red wine, looking at the crowd downstairs in a daze!
Seeing Yao Hong like this, Lin Hao was silent, because it always reminded him of the countless women who were persecuted by the Japanese.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Jiaying, only to see her beautiful eyes quickly scanning every figure at the banquet, revealing the secrets in their hearts through their expressions!

So, Lin Hao accompanied Chen Jiaying to travel around and talk with people from various forces.

After a while, Xiangzhi Jinan came in from outside, greeting people from all sides while walking towards the stage. He pressed his hands down and said loudly with a smile on his face:
"Good evening, everyone. My name is Xiang Zhi, and I am the host of tonight's event."

When Xiangzhi Jinan was speaking on the stage, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Lin Hao sneered at what Xiangzhi Jinan said about common prosperity and Greater East Asia. You people from the archipelago are dreaming!
Xiangzhi Jinan’s speech reminded Lin Hao of a joke he had seen before.

Chinese civilization has experienced so many ups and downs on this vast land!

We faced the same flood as the Egyptians five thousand years ago;
Four thousand years ago we played with bronze tools just like the ancient Babylonians;
Three thousand years ago we thought about philosophy like the Greeks did;
Two thousand years ago we went on many expeditions just like the Romans;
A thousand years ago we were as rich as the Arabs;
And now we compete with the Americans!
For five thousand years, we have been playing mahjong on the world's card table, while the players on the opposite side have changed round after round!
Lin Hao knew that this was the darkest moment for the land of China, but a beam of light pierced through the dark clouds, split the sky, and shone the sun on the land.

After Xiangzhi Jinan finished speaking, Lu Dailing went on stage and started singing, but Lin Hao really couldn't appreciate the song called Drizzle.

Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying held their glasses and clinked them. After taking a sip of red wine, Lin Hao said:

"Jiaying, let's go have a toast too!"

Chen Jiaying's heart moved, and she felt that Lin Hao wanted to do something bad, so she said:

"You're not planning to poison him here, are you? If Xiangzhi Jin'an dies here, we'll be in a lot of trouble. And aren't you planning to do it outside?"

"Don't worry, I'm not planning to poison him!" Then Lin Hao said with a cold look in his eyes:
"In fact, if I want, I can quietly poison Xiangzhi Jinan at any time. But it would be a pity to let him die of poison like this. I will make sure he dies in a spectacular way later!"

Among the countless figures, his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiangzhi Jinan who was chatting and laughing with the guests!
"Let's go!" Chen Jiaying said as she took Lin Hao's hand and came to Xiangzhi Jinan.

"General Xiang Zhi!" Chen Jiaying said with a smile:
"It's an honor to be invited to the general's banquet. I am Chen Jiaying from the South Railway Company, and this is my husband, Mr. Wang Boren."

"Nantie? Chen Jiaying!"

The name sounded familiar, and soon Xiangzhi Jinan also smiled:
"I've heard of Ms. Chen Jiaying. She's the behavioral trace expert that Section Chief Noma mentioned!"

Chen Jiaying smiled and said, "My husband and I were invited here thanks to Section Chief Noma's kindness. It is also our honor to serve the Empire."

Xiangzhi Jinan's smile became brighter and brighter: "I have heard from Noma Heiji a long time ago that Ms. Chen is a capable person of Nantie."

"General, you are too kind!" Chen Jiaying smiled and raised her red wine glass: "Let's toast to the General!"

Lin Hao on the other side also raised his glass and said with a sincere smile: "Cheers to the general!"

Xiangzhi Jinan glanced at Chen Jiaying, then at Lin Hao, nodded, and clinked glasses with the two of them.

After leaving Xiangzhi Jin'an, Lin Hao met the Chen brothers, Ryan, and George Bai, and was invited back from outside by Dou Shixiao.

"Haha!" Looking at the embarrassed people, Lin Hao chuckled.

Chen Jiaying said with emotion: "The political donations have not been made. How could the Japanese let them leave so easily?"

Seeing that the cocktail party was halfway through, Lin Hao saw that Xiangzhi Jinan was about to leave, so he said to Chen Jiaying:

"Jiaying, I need you to cover me now. I'm going to go out and take action!"

"Okay, take care!" Chen Jiaying said with a deep breath.

When Lin Hao was about to go to the back kitchen warehouse, he was stopped by Chen Jiaying, who said with worry and reluctance in her eyes:
"Remember to come back alive!"

"Don't worry, don't you understand my abilities?" Then he went to the kitchen warehouse.

Because the restroom was nearby, Lin Hao's coming over did not attract anyone's attention. Seeing that there was no one nearby, Lin Hao teleported directly outside the hotel.

Then, he went straight to the building opposite the Peace Hotel and changed his clothes on the way. Lin Hao quickly came to the second floor and came to the club opened by the Japanese.

Arriving at the room that had been prepared long ago, Lin Hao locked the door, took out the powerful weapon in the space, and placed it by the window facing the hotel entrance.

Type 92 heavy machine gun, caliber 7.7mm, total length 1155mm, gun body length 721mm, 30 rounds of ammunition, rate of fire 450 rounds/min, actual combat rate of fire 200 rounds/min

The empty gun including the gun frame weighs a total of 55.3 kg, and the 200-meter armor-piercing bullet can penetrate a 12 mm steel plate.

It's a pity that this gun uses a bullet board, and continuous shooting is a bit awkward. After this matter is over, I can find the German arms dealer named Cain and buy an MG34 cloth tearing machine.

The mg34 uses a belt-fed ammunition, which theoretically allows for an infinite supply of ammunition. If it is put into space, it will become a pseudo-infinite bullet machine gun!

What a genius I am!
"Yes! It's out." Then Lin Hao aimed the gun.
