Chapter 405 The Riddle of the Character '照'
That evening, Song Tingnan, along with Bing Lingxiao and two of his subordinates, as well as an archaeologist, sneaked into Yin Teng's house. With a layout plan drawn by Yin Teng Yingzi, they quickly found the Nine Tripods of the Nine Provinces.
After lifting the cloth covering it and examining it carefully, it was undoubtedly genuine. Four strongmen tried to lift it, and they were able to lift it and place it on the trailer without any problem in a short time.
They gently placed it down, took some photos, covered it up as it was, and then split up and left.
Song Tingnan took the trailer into Yin Tengyingzi's room. She lived in a secluded side room far from the main house, which was convenient for Tingnan.
Song Tingnan entered the house and told Yin Tengyingzi what to do, giving her a packet of "Song's" sleeping pills. One of Bing Lingxiao's subordinates kept watch outside, and things went smoothly. Bing Lingxiao also checked each courtyard, and then the group left quietly.
The next day, the Japanese side watched Dai Lao and his party with great tension, but Dai Lao and his party strolled around the streets leisurely, and each of them bought some local specialties from the island country.
The people watching were thrown into chaos. Except for Song Tingnan, who was making drugs inside the house, the others were scattered in pairs.
The scouts followed, glancing around nervously, especially when they saw them enter a Chinese shop. They were afraid of missing any information, after all, Chinese people are known for their cunning.
The suggestion to wander around was made by Zhou Weiya. She said that she didn't have any ulterior motives, she just had been thinking too much and wanted to get out and about.
Besides, everything's arranged, even the return tickets are booked. Wouldn't it be a waste of time not to come out and experience some foreign culture? Buying some Japanese souvenirs and hanging out with Japanese friends wouldn't be a bad idea either. Even if the people aren't the best, the stuff is fine, especially the electronics.
Meanwhile, the Japanese headquarters, military, and the Yinteng family dared not relax their vigilance, with people constantly going in and out to relay messages, making the telephones extremely noisy. Although most of the messages were about which street they had been on, which store they had entered, and what they had bought…
The head of the Yin Teng family was practically glued to the Nine Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces, the curtains being lifted and lowered repeatedly. They even had a nightly schedule, keeping watch over them constantly. Yin Teng Yingzi was relieved; thankfully, the Chinese side had changed their plans, otherwise not even a mosquito could have gotten in, let alone such a large object.
The island nation was thrown into chaos for a day and a night, while our side was able to recuperate and build up its strength.
Bing Lingxiao even told jokes to the two female comrades in the team to release their guilt, and then asked them to guess a riddle: "A Japanese man bought a knife, killed a person, and lost four drops of blood."
Zhou Weiya asked, "The character '照'?"
"By the way, this is a guessing game my elementary school-aged son gave me. You see, even a child knows that the Japanese devils like to kill people. We don't need to hesitate about what we should do; it's also doing a good deed for the people." Bing Lingxiao took the opportunity to enlighten them.
Zhou Weiya and Song Tingnan immediately said that they could personally assassinate a few Japanese soldiers. After laughing and joking around, they went to bed early, full of confidence for tomorrow's tough battle.
The next day, the head of the Yin family dozed off for a short while in the early morning. He had just listened to the steward's report on the arrangements for the banquet and thought he would sit down and have a cup of tea. He had been through so much trouble lately that he hadn't had a moment of peace in ages. Fortunately, today was the end of it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that once the banquet was over and the Nine Tripods of Kyushu were sent to the museum, the Yin Teng family could enjoy wealth for decades to come, and he could retire behind the scenes and do whatever he wanted.
