Chapter 197 Rouge

Now that we know it’s the plot of “Rouge”, everything will be easy!
Lin Hao began to inquire about a banker named Lan, and sure enough, he found him in Shanghu: Lan Changming, the president of Jinxin Bank!

And his daughter is Lan Yanzhi. I also found out that she is currently a junior in the Department of Mathematics at Jinling Central University!
Lin Hao then followed the clues and found information about Feng Zixiong, director of the Shanghai Military Quartermaster Department, and his daughter Feng Manna by checking internal information.

Lin Hao calculated the time. It was just the beginning of August and the plot also took place in the beginning of August. However, the two best friends had not returned yet.

This means that the plot has not yet begun, which means that the two of them should still be participating in the student summer training camp organized by the National Defense Bureau.

Lin Hao knew that this was a plan of the National Defense Bureau to screen reserve talents through this training camp, so Lin Hao contacted the National Defense Bureau to check the results of the pair of best friends.

Among those who volunteered to participate in the training camp this time, Lan Yanzhi had the best results, with excellent grades in all subjects, and most importantly, she could also use Ying language fluently. As for Feng Manna, her results were also in the top five, and she could use the island language fluently.

Thinking of Lan Yanzhi and Feng Manna, who have the idea of ​​joining the Secret Service, Lin Hao intends to recruit them into the Field Service Department. In addition to their good grades in various subjects, the key is that they can speak foreign languages, which is a considerable advantage.

At this time, Wang Shi'an sent his secretary to call Lin Hao and Song Mian to the office. As soon as Lin Hao entered the room, he saw Lao Gu there, so he greeted the two of them.

Wang Shian knocked on the table and said:

"Okay, enough small talk. The director sent two files to us earlier, and just now he called us personally, saying that he has an important task for us."

Lin Hao said: "Stationmaster, tell me! What is the specific task?"

Wang Shian placed the two files in his hand on the table and showed them to the three people, then continued:

"According to intelligence intercepted by headquarters, this fellow called Beichuan Longer has been surveying the terrain along the Yangtze River."

Song Mian also spoke up: "I remember when I first came to the station, that guy named Ikeda Eisuke was surveying the hydrological conditions. Were we in the same group?"

Lin Hao said: "It should be. It has only been more than 20 days since the Marco Polo Bridge incident, and the two countries are already in a state of full-scale war. I guess the Japanese are ready to attack Shanghai!"

Gu Shenyan sighed and said, "Everyone can see the current situation clearly. The island nation's navy is making preparations. I think they are sending people to survey the landing site again!"

At this time, Wang Shian interrupted everyone's imagination and said seriously:
"We've strayed off topic, let's get back to the point!"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Shian pointed to another file and said:
"This woman's name is Inoue Junko, and she's a staff member of the embassy in Shanghai. However, there is evidence that this woman is from the Special High Technology Department and should be a carrier pigeon that transmits intelligence!"

Then Wang Shian said seriously: "The director ordered that these two spies be captured and the intelligence on them be intercepted!"

Lin Hao and Song Mian also saluted: "I promise to complete the task!"

Afterwards, Lin Hao and Song Mian led people to the Jinling headquarters to inquire about these two people.

In fact, after seeing these two files, Lin Hao knew that these two people were the spies that Lan Yanzhi met on the ship.

So Lin Hao became a little casual about this task. He handed the task to Song Mian and went back to the villa to accompany Lan Xinjie.

After all, Lan Xinjie has been pregnant for eight months and is about to give birth, so Lin Hao wants to spend more time with her.

Hey! Thinking of the two more in Hong Kong, Lin Hao felt overwhelmed, but he was also prepared to take time to go over and take care of them!
On August 8, soldiers from the island country deliberately created trouble, using the same tactics as at Marco Polo Bridge, with the intention of entering Hongqiao Airport.

At the same time, Lin Hao received news from Song Mian that Junko Inoue had bought a boat ticket from Jinling to Shanghai for tomorrow morning.

So Lin Hao had to say goodbye to Lan Xinjie and reunite with Song Mian. At the same time, he called his brothers in the Shanghai Action Team and asked them to bring a few more people to Shilipu Wharf tomorrow.

next day
Lin Hao and his men boarded the Kishu cruise ship. Not long after, Lin Hao saw Inoue Junko boarding the ship, but he never saw Kitafun Ryuji board the ship. Lin Hao guessed that this guy was not on the ship in Jinling.

Fortunately, not long after, Lan Yanzhi and Feng Manna also boarded the ship, and Lin Hao felt relieved.

Since the hardworking tool Song Mian came into being, things like monitoring Kitafune Ryuji and Inoue Junko naturally had to be done by tools.

Lin Hao was leisurely enjoying the scenery on the deck of the cruise ship. When the ship arrived at Jiangyin Port, another group of passengers boarded.

At this time, Song Mian ran to Lin Hao's cabin and said excitedly:

"Captain, Kitafun Ryuji just got on board!"

Lin Hao got up immediately after hearing this and said:
"Okay, don't worry, keep a close eye on the whereabouts of Ryuji and Inoue Junko. When they meet or stay in the same place, that's when they pass on information."

"Understood!" Song Mian said, and arranged people to monitor.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Several students on the ship were preaching the initiative of boycotting Japanese products on the deck, and then more and more people gathered.

At this time, Lin Hao saw Lan Yanzhi on the deck, pretending to be a blind person and wandering around. He found it a little funny. A real blind person would not take the initiative to go to a noisy place unless it was necessary.

Because that would affect their hearing and sense of smell. It can only be said that this girl is too immature. It seems that she needs to be disciplined in the future.

Feng Manna stood on the second deck, holding a drawing board in her hand and painting everyone Lan Yanzhi met on it.

Then Lin Hao slowly walked to Feng Manna's side:
"Miss, your sketching is pretty good! Are you studying painting?"

Hearing someone talking to her, Feng Manna frowned and glanced at Lin Hao, but just this one glance made her unable to take her eyes away for a moment. She felt that the faint halo behind Lin Hao was like a banished immortal descending from the sky.

No, there was light behind him because the sun was shining on him, and it was definitely not because he was handsome. However, her originally unhappy little face had already revealed a smile.

"Oh, what's so good about that!"

Regardless of whether her painting was good or not, it was enough to praise her. Besides, she did have some basic skills in sketching, so Lin Hao did not hesitate to praise her:

“The characters’ expressions are vivid, the scenes are highly restored, and the visual images look very comfortable!”

She knew she had met an expert, but Lin Hao's praise still made Feng Manna a little embarrassed, so she said:

"Ah, you flatter me. I'm not studying painting. I just learned it for more than a month not long ago!"

"Then you are very talented! You can continue to develop in the field of painting, and maybe become a painting saint!" Lin Hao said it nicely as if it was free.

"No way!" Feng Manna said shyly.

Then he looked at the crowd on the deck and suddenly realized, "Oh no! I haven't finished painting yet!"

Lin Hao glanced at the crowd and said to Feng Manna:
"Come, let me help you draw!"

Before Feng Manna could react, Lin Hao picked up her drawing board and with just a few strokes, he sketched out the people and objects on the deck, making each character come alive on the paper.

Of course, Lin Hao did not forget the scene where Kitafune Ryuji and Inoue Junko were looking at each other not far away, so he drew the two of them as well.

Feng Manna's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief:

"Wow! You are amazing. Are you a painter?"

"It's such a great painting! How did you draw it?" Facing Feng Manna's repeated questions, Lin Hao pointed at Inoue Junko who was looking at Kitafun Ryuji and said:
"The composition of your painting just now was too neat, so I used the gaze between these two people to break this sense of completeness and make the whole painting look more lively!"

“How amazing!”

At this time, Feng Manna looked at Lin Hao with admiration. When she saw Lin Hao looking at her, she looked towards the first-floor deck in panic like a deer, but unexpectedly found that Yanzhi had left the deck.

So he panicked and said:
"Ah! Excuse me, I should go back to my room!"

As she spoke, Feng Manna picked up the drawing board and prepared to go back to her room, but then she heard Lin Hao say:
"Beautiful lady, can you lend me your drawing board for a while? I will return it to you later. I wonder which cabin you live in!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Manna took down the painting she had just finished and handed the drawing board to Lin Hao.

"I live in VIP room 106 on the first floor!"

"Okay, I'll return it to you later!" As he said that, he raised the drawing board in his hand.

Feng Manna smiled and trotted back to the room excitedly.

Seeing Feng Manna leave in a hurry, Lin Hao turned around and followed Beichuan Long Er slowly. Seeing Song Mian following him on the way, Lin Hao went straight to the third floor deck.

After Lin Hao arrived at the third-floor deck, he found a place with a wide view and monitored the every move of the Beichuan Long Er.

When Feng Manna returned to the cabin and just reached the door, she saw Lan Yanzhi knocking on the door, so she hurried forward to open the door.

Then the two sisters returned to the room and began to summarize this spy game.

After a while, Lan Yanzhi noticed that Feng Manna was absent-minded and dazed, so she waved her hand in front of her eyes and said:

"What are you thinking about? You look distracted, you're not thinking about men, are you?"

Feng Manna was startled, and immediately reacted, then said:

"You're the one missing a man!"

Then he continued, "You have passed the test! Your hearing, judgment, perception, and insight are all first-rate!"

Lan Yanzhi didn't pay attention to what she said, but stretched her head to look at the painting and exclaimed:

"Hey~! Your painting style feels different from your usual style."

Knowing that Lan Yanzhi had extraordinary observation skills, Feng Manna felt that if she continued to watch, Lan Yanzhi might see through her thoughts, so she quickly changed the subject and said:

"Yanzhi, among the people you just met, which one do you think is the most meaningful?"

Lan Yanzhi took another look at the painting, then thought for a moment and said:

"The girl who called on everyone to boycott Japanese goods is very interesting. She said so, but she herself uses the Japanese apricot brand perfume. The smell is so pungent!"

As he spoke, he fanned his nose with his hand as if he was recalling the smell. Then he continued:
"There was another woman. She wore Paris Nuit perfume and the same rouge as mine, from the brand Double Sisters. But her accent was a little weird, especially the ending of her voice was curled up. It sounded weird!"

Feeling that Feng Manna didn't respond, Lan Yanzhi looked at her and said in surprise:

"You're not really thinking about men, are you? Look at how confused you are! Tsk tsk!"

"Lan Rouge, what nonsense are you thinking in your mind?" Feng Manna said with some irritation:

"I was just wondering if these two might be spies!"

"Where did so many spies come from? And we just happened to run into them!" Lan Yanzhi said with some doubt:

In fact, just now on my way back to the cabin, I met two men at the cabin door, which was quite strange.

"The first man was quite gentlemanly. When he saw me about to fall, he helped me up. But it was a hot day and he was wearing a woolen suit, so his body was a little wet."

"The man behind him is an alcoholic. He was drunk early in the morning. What he drank was pretty good, Scotch whisky!
Then Lan Yanzhi thought about it carefully and said uncertainly:

"But when this person bumped into me, I felt something hard in my waist, and it hurt so much!"

However, Feng Manna looked at Yanzhi with strange eyes at this time. Lan Yanzhi saw Feng Manna's shy expression and immediately explained:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. It should be a wine bottle or something!"

Then he said with some doubt: "But the wine bottle should be round, the one I have is square!"

"It's square, and it's tied around the waist!" Feng Manna said, and the two looked at each other and said in unison:
"gun!"

"It can't be a spy from the island country!" Feng Manna said uncertainly.

At this time, seeing Yanzhi changed her clothes, she walked outside and no one could stop her.

Feng Manna quickly said, "Where are you going?"

"Come back soon, you are not allowed to go, Yanzhi, come back!" As Feng Manna said this, she tried to pull Lan Yanzhi back, but she couldn't stop the excitement of Yanzhi at all!

Walking out the door, Lan Yanzhi said, "Manna, don't come out, go back to the house, I'll go take a look and be back soon!"

Then the door was closed by Lan Yanzhi, and Feng Manna said unwillingly:

"You are too curious!"

Lan Yanzhi had just arrived on the second floor when she bumped into Inoue Junko at the corner. Both of their handbags fell to the ground and the contents of the bags fell out.

Then Lan Yanzhi squatted on the ground, picked up the fallen things and said:
"Sorry, I bumped into you without noticing!"

Facing Lan Yanzhi's apology, Inoue Junko smiled and said:

"It's ok!"

"Eh~! What a coincidence! I also use the Double Sister brand rouge!"

Inoue Junko's pupils shrank, and she saw that Lan Yanzhi had an identical rouge box in each of her hands.

After carefully identifying her rouge box, Junko Inoue put away her rouge box, smiled at Lan Yanzhi, then picked up her bag and walked to the second-floor deck.

Looking at the woman leaving, Lan Yanzhi felt that what she said sounded familiar.

Then she remembered that this was the woman on the first floor deck before, because the ending tone of her voice when she spoke was so strange that it left a particularly deep impression on her.

At the same time, Lin Hao had completed a painting. In the painting, Ryuji Kitafun had a cigarette in his mouth and his hand was holding the information behind the ashtray on the deck railing.
