Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 180 I drank too much yesterday

Lin Ze woke up early in the morning and felt refreshed.

Everything went smoothly yesterday and I didn’t miss any sleep. I feel full of energy now.

I went to the yard and punched for a while. Sweat broke out on my head and steam was rising like a little train.

The two sisters looked at Lin Ze, who was full of masculinity in the yard, with stars in their eyes.

Xiyue wiped Lin Ze's sweat with a handkerchief, "Master, it's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold. Come in quickly, breakfast will be ready soon."

Lin Ze took the handkerchief and said, "Young man, sleeping on a cold kang is all about your strong firepower. To practice martial arts, you have to practice in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. If you practice well, you will be immune to cold and heat."

The two sisters didn't hear what was said afterwards, they just heard something about strong firepower.

Then I imagined some scenes and my face turned red.

Xiyue even lowered her head to cook, while Ruoxue kept stealing glances at her.

Lin Ze got up in the morning and wore a pair of loose training pants, which were comparable to the gray sweatpants of later generations. Ruoxue couldn't take her eyes off them as soon as she saw them.

Lin Ze smiled and said, "I'm telling you, if you don't go to help your sister, what are you doing?"

Ruoxue put her hands behind her back and lowered her head, and slipped away from Lin Ze like an elementary school student who had been caught doing something bad.

When he got to the kitchen, he sat in front of the bellows, pulling it intermittently, and said to his sister, "Sister, what a big bag!"

"Ah? What's that big? Did you get bit by a mosquito? How can there be mosquitoes in such a cold day?"

"Oh, no, I mean there, there..."

The two were whispering about something when a newsboy's voice was heard from outside the courtyard wall.

"Latest news! Latest news! Ma Liang, a member of the Administrative Committee, was stabbed, and a headless body was found in Kawada Hospital!"

This kind of news is what Peking’s tabloids love the most.

Either it has something to do with sex, such as someone's concubine eloped or someone's daughter got together with an actor, and they often describe some seemingly plausible scenes to keep readers coming back for more.

The other type is a bit horror-themed, such as where there are suspected mountain spirits and ghosts, or where a terrible murder has occurred. Sometimes it is accompanied by photos to attract attention.

But the printing speed of this newspaper is quite fast. Even if Ma Liang's body was found at dawn, it should have taken only two hours for them to get the news, edit the news, print it out, and send it to the street to sell, right?

What Lin Ze didn't know was that this tabloid didn't use typesetting and printing. They didn't have that strong financial resources. They used wax plate printing, which was similar to the principle used by teachers in the 1990s to mimeograph papers.

Write on a wax board and then print with a roller dipped in ink.

However, the roller used for newspapers is not manual, but driven by a diesel engine.

These tabloids have informants everywhere, and there are rewards for providing clues. Even more important news can be rewarded with several dollars. Therefore, a young nurse at Kawada Hospital secretly told the tabloid about this matter using the hospital's phone.

Tabloids don't do any verification at all. They just carve the wax plate and print it, and then sell it. All they compete on is speed.

Lin Ze opened the gate and said, "Newspaper seller! Give me one!"

The little newsboys not only sell newspapers from one store, they also carry four or five canvas bags on their bodies, each of which contains dozens or even hundreds of newspapers and is very heavy.

The most expensive one is the Tianjin edition of Ta Kung Pao, because it is no longer allowed to be sold in Beijing and has to be secretly sent in. Moreover, this newspaper is beautifully printed, has excellent content, and is full of articles by famous writers, especially current affairs commentaries. It is very valuable and is a favorite of intellectuals.

However, this newspaper has now nominally ceased publication, and the versions available for purchase now are all underground printed versions.

"Give me a copy of that headless corpse you were shouting about."

Lin Ze took out three copper coins.

The use of currency is now very chaotic. In addition to the big bucks, legal tender, and military notes, there are also various foreign coins, such as the Eagle Dollar. Copper coins are still in circulation, but they can only be used to buy small things, such as newspapers.

"Hey, sir, this is a very high price today. Listen to the title: A headless body was found in Kawada Hospital! It's worth the price. Would you like to buy one?"

Lin Ze exchanged a ten-cent copper coin for him and took the newspaper.

This newspaper only had four pages, the paper quality was very poor and rough, the printed words were not clear, and the headline on the front page was about the stabbing of Ma Liang.

However, it is obvious that many details were performed, such as the story that General Ma, who was still strong, had to tell the Sixth Aunt the night before, and the head appearing in the Sixth Aunt's arms the next morning.

The rest of the so-called news is either of the romantic type or some anecdotes.

Lin Ze casually threw the newspaper in the study. Xiyue had just finished cooking and was happily eating breakfast there.

After eating two large bowls of wontons that Xiyue had made herself, Lin Ze was just about to change his clothes and go to the patrol station when the phone at home rang.

That's Kitahara Ransuke.

"Mr. Lin, I called the patrol station but couldn't find you. Please wait at home now. I will send a car to pick you up immediately. Please go to Kawada Hospital to take a look at the scene."

"Okay, Kitahara-kun."

Well, I am now like the murderer reviewing the crime scene.

Not long after, a Ford car hurried over, picked up Lin Ze and drove towards Kawada Hospital.

The driver Lin Ze knew him. He used to be his driver. At that time, Lin Ze gave him military notes, but he refused them and was only happy when he was given money.

"Mr. Lin, did you know that something big happened at Kawada Hospital?"

The driver spoke very politely to Lin Ze. Now Lin Ze is a favorite of Kitahara Ransuke, and Kitahara Ransuke is almost the most powerful person under Colonel Matsuzaki, so everyone has to give face to Lin Sang.

"Hey, you've been restless all day. What happened this time?"

"That Ma Liang was killed! And his head was cut off. It's so horrifying!"

As they were talking and chatting, they arrived at the entrance of Kawada Hospital.

Lin Ze got out of the car and was about to leave. The driver quickly stopped him, "Mr. Lin, this is the entrance. That road leads to the parking lot at the back."

"Okay, thank you!"

Lin Ze then entered the main entrance. There were several military police on the first floor. Lin Ze asked them where Kitahara-kun was. They said he was in the special ward on the top floor, the one at the back.

When we got there, we found that the house was full of people. As soon as we entered, a smell of blood hit us.

Lin Ze suddenly retched.

As soon as he made a sound, many people in the room felt nauseous and their throats started to roll.

A very young gendarme finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey!"

Kitahara Ransuke was very dissatisfied and kicked him out, "Baka! Get out and vomit!"

Then he looked at Lin Ze, a little helpless, "Lin Sang, you have also been through many battles..."

Ersong Dacheng was also in the room. When he saw this scene, he felt a little gloating.

It turns out that this Lin Ze is a guy who looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside. Is he going to vomit over such a small scene?

Lin Ze took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. "I'm sorry, Kitahara-kun, I drank too much last night and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
