Chapter 221 Tall and Thin Woman
At two o'clock in the morning, the tall and thin woman quietly came to the roof of the second floor. The soldiers on duty on the roof were all sleeping in the places they found. For them, nothing had happened in recent days, which made their vigilance drop greatly. What's more, they felt that there were guards outside the door and patrols outside the yard. How could anyone really contact the person under house arrest through the roof?
Because of this idea, many people like the job of rooftop duty. Although patrols are scheduled, they still have to walk and it is difficult to get a good night's sleep.
As for those on duty at other posts, if they dozed off or slacked off while standing, they might be discovered by the tall and thin woman during her patrol, and they would inevitably be scolded.
Only on this rooftop, they found that the tall and thin woman never came, and the two middle-aged women who were authorized to patrol had been exhausted physically and mentally recently, so they had come a few times at first and never appeared again.
Therefore, whether it is slacking off during the day or finding a sheltered place to sleep at night, it is a very good choice.
This was exactly the effect the tall and thin woman wanted. She accurately found the window of the room where Zhang Wei was. She leaned down and saw that the window was ajar. She knew that the note had worked, so she nimbly turned over and came to the window. After making sure that no one noticed, she pushed the window inwards and then slipped in.
After the tall and thin woman entered the room, she saw that Zhang Wei had been waiting for a long time. She carefully restored the window to its just half-closed state, and then came to Zhang Wei.
"Are you the civet cat from the Principality of Khasa?" Zhang Wei asked.
"That's right." The raccoon cat replied.
"It's hidden very deeply." Zhang Wei teased with a smile.
"I dare not, the situation forces me to do so."
"Can you represent the Principality of Khasa?" Zhang Wei asked again.
The raccoon cat nodded and said, "No problem. The old cat gave me the authorization, so I can represent you with full authority."
"Okay, without further ado, here are your terms."
The raccoon cat did not answer immediately, but paused, she thought for a moment and said: "I want to hear your conditions."
"I'm talking about your response to the conditions I proposed," Zhang Wei said, vaguely feeling something was wrong. He tilted his head and asked with some suspicion, "You don't know the conditions I proposed, do you?"
"How could that be?" The raccoon cat smiled, and she continued, "I just want to know if you have changed. Although I am the full representative, many things still need to be reported to the family for a decision."
The civet cat's words did not dispel Zhang Wei's suspicion. At this moment, the sound of a middle-aged woman coughing came from outside the house.
"Let's talk next time." The raccoon cat said to Zhang Wei in silent language, then returned to the window where he came from, gently pushed it open, and climbed onto the roof.
Zhang Wei frowned slightly, walked to the window and slowly closed it.
In an ordinary and inconspicuous room in the courtyard, a young man was reading a new book by the light of a kerosene lamp. When he saw the civet cat come in, he lowered his head to read again.
"How is it?" the young man asked as he flipped through the book.
"He's suspicious, but he hasn't revealed himself. If we don't know the conditions they discussed before, it will be difficult to gain his trust."
"How did he react to you using the identity of a raccoon cat?" the young man asked again.
"No response. Most likely, they didn't specify a contact person in the Principality of Khasa when they contacted us last time. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to just use the identity of the raccoon cat? After all, we don't even know where the raccoon cat is."
"It's okay, just continue using it." After the young man said that, he waved his hand, indicating that the raccoon cat could leave.
"Yes." The raccoon cat took the order and left.
The next day, at the time when Zhang Wei, Lilith and others had their meal on the second-floor rooftop, the young man specially arranged for the civet cat to walk out of the yard and show it to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei glanced at the civet cat's back without saying anything. Instead, he continued chatting and laughing with Lilith, as if he had never noticed anything.
The raccoon cat left the yard, came to the nearby main road, found a restaurant, and went to a private room on the second floor.
She knocked on the door of the box using the password and the person inside opened the door.
"The boss told you to wait here until the evening before going back, to avoid arousing suspicion by staying in such a short time." After saying this, the intelligence officer of the Grand Duchy of Naima turned around and left the room.
Fifteen minutes later, the door was quietly pushed open. The person who came was none other than Old Cat.
"The coffee is just right, please." The raccoon cat gestured to the old cat to sit on the single sofa with hot coffee.
"Thanks to your reminder last time, I wouldn't have known I was bitten to death otherwise." The old cat sincerely thanked the civet cat.
"It's just a small matter. We are all brothers and sisters, and it is only natural for us to help each other." The raccoon cat calmly accepted the old cat's thanks.
"Isn't it going to expose you?" Old Cat asked after taking a sip of coffee.
"No." The raccoon cat's indifferent answer concealed the thrill of that night.
"Who is the other side's new leader? How come he is so powerful!" After taking another sip of coffee, the old cat asked the civet cat for information.
"The youngest son of the Archduke."
The raccoon cat's answer almost made the old cat drop the coffee cup in his hand.
"Are you sure? It's not a stand-in or something? Isn't he afraid of something happening by coming here at a time like this?" Because the matter was of great importance, even if the old cat trusted the raccoon cat, he still confirmed it with the raccoon cat again.
"I'm sure. I just met him last night. He asked me to pretend to be a raccoon cat and contact the other delegation."
"How did he know the code name of Tanuki???"
"Then I have to ask you." The raccoon cat said, looking up at the old cat. She wanted to know if the old cat had betrayed her.
"You..." The old cat swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. Being stared at by his comrades with scrutiny did make him very uncomfortable, but he also knew that the civet cat had the right to do so.
"I need you to find the traitor, but don't rush to deal with him. Maybe you can use him to pass on false information and disrupt the enemy's vision." After confirming that it was not the old cat who betrayed her, the raccoon cat said as she threw a small glass bottle filled with transparent liquid to the old cat.
The old cat then realized that he had just been poisoned by the civet cat. He quickly drank the antidote, then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"It would be best if the poison isn't in the coffee so you can drink it without worry." After saying that, the raccoon cat got up and went into the bathroom in the box.
When she came out after finishing her makeup, the old cat had left, and the dishes used to hold the coffee had been washed and put back in place.
When the raccoon cat went to the bathroom for the last time, it was still testing the old cat. After all, in the subconscious of intelligence personnel, when the enemy is in the toilet, it is one of the most suitable situations for a sneak attack.
She looked at the time. It was enough time for her to take the next step. She would not absolutely trust anyone except herself.
