Chapter 342 Prentiss confessed everything
Chapter 342 Prentiss confessed everything
Prentiss was just playing around at first. After all, Leona was young and beautiful, so he wouldn't lose out anyway.
Because he is really good-looking, has some money, and speaks in a humorous way, so he has had countless girls like him.
Prentiss also thought of this as just a game at first.
But later he learned that Leona was actually Friedrich's adopted daughter, and Prentiss realized that this was a good opportunity to obtain intelligence!
"To be precise, I don't work full-time for the Sixth Bureau. The main force of the Sixth Bureau is still in Europe. In addition, there are the Middle East and the White Elephant Country. Many staff members in China are like me. They came to China first and were then absorbed by the Sixth Bureau. In the past, I only collected some public intelligence for the Sixth Bureau and provided some dynamic news in North China. Rather than saying that I am a lurking spy, it is better to say that I am more like a reporter. However, the appearance of Leona gave me new ideas."
England is rich, and they provide generous funding and rewards to intelligence officers, especially informal spies like Prentiss, who have more of a transactional relationship with the Sixth Bureau. Prentiss wants to use Leona's relationship to obtain some intelligence and make more money.
Then he started to constantly tell Leona that he loved her the most and would definitely marry her.
Western girls these days still care more about things like marriage, so this trick always works.
Then things developed a little differently from what he had imagined. Leona did fall in love with him, but Prentiss could no longer remain rational and calm. The gentleness, kindness, and passionate and unrestrained character of this lovely girl also made Prentiss gradually fall.
"I swear, I was absolutely not moved at first. I was already thirty years old, and Leona was just a girl. But she was so cute, so kind, and especially so cheerful and warm. She really brought different colors to my gloomy life. I began to wonder about my feelings for her."
At this point, Prentiss's expression was a little painful.
"Until that day, he told me about his father. That bastard actually treated Leona, an innocent girl, like that! I couldn't hold back the emotions in my heart any more. We hugged, and we..."
Lin Ze coughed and interrupted him, "Well, no need to describe the details, just continue and get to the point."
Just when Prentiss was deeply immersed in this relationship, unexpectedly, Friedrich came to him on his own initiative.
Friedrich, who had special feelings for his adopted daughter, had already figured out her whereabouts, and also discovered that something was wrong with Prentiss.
And the reason he came to England was not to expose Prentiss's identity, but to sell some important German intelligence to England through Prentiss!
Friedrich has come to terms with it. He believes that it is impossible for Germany to achieve final victory. No matter what nobles or advisers, only money is real. As long as he can get enough money, he can escape to the New World and then whatever happens!
"He puts on some bullshit aristocratic airs all day long. In fact, he came to the Far East because his family had fallen on hard times. He heard that the Far East was a paradise for adventurers, so he used his last connections to get a consultant position and came to the Far East to make a living. In fact, he used his influence in the Far East to make a lot of money for himself over the years, but he was addicted to gambling and women, and he almost squandered all the money. He came to me just to sell me information!"
Friedrich's intelligence cooperation with Prentiss had been going smoothly until the German side gave him the latest instructions on the direction of cooperation with the Japanese.
This kind of intelligence, once leaked, can be easily detected.
Moreover, the situation in the Sixth Department had already become like a sieve, and Friedrich was increasingly afraid of a car accident.
"Because a lot of our previous intelligence was used by the Sixth Bureau, I don't know if there was a traitor in our company or if something was found wrong with the negotiation game. Anyway, Friedrich was investigated once. Since then, he has been very scared. But at this time, the important intelligence was sent to Peking. We discussed it for two days and finally decided to make a deal."
Under the temptation of money, Friedrich decided to do one last job. Since it was the last one, he had to leave himself enough time and channels to transfer his property. So Friedrich came up with a plan that he thought was perfect.
He asked Prentiss to find a woman with hair and body shape similar to Leona's.
After killing her, Prentiss slashed her face.
If the body was not found, they would continue to transfer the property secretly. If the body was found, Friedrich would have a shield. He could say that the letters disappeared with his adopted daughter, and no one would know what had happened.
Once all the property and other things have been transferred, Frederick should be able to complete the contact with the Milutinovics. I believe they will not refuse someone like Frederick to join them.
The real Leona had already bought a ticket to Tianjin using the identity of a dancer, where she would board a ship to the New World.
At this point, Prentiss suddenly laughed.
"Friedrich, what an idiot! He thought that I would give him most of the funds for intelligence transactions like before! This deposit slip is already with my dear Leona. She will withdraw the money in Tianjin and upload it under the identity of the dancer. After that, we will meet in Milijian. As for that damn old man, I will send you a letter after I leave and ask you to catch him. I didn't expect that you would act so quickly..."
Kitahara Ransuke listened attentively.
He also didn't expect that the matter would be so complicated.
Lin Ze continued to ask: "You cut the face of the corpse, but where is the heart?"
Prentiss was stunned, "Heart, what heart?"
Lin Ze felt strange seeing him like this, this guy didn't know anything?
After exchanging a glance with Kitahara Ransuke, Kitahara gestured for him to continue asking questions.
Lin Ze said in a deep voice: "When we found the body, it had been opened and the heart was missing."
Prentiss was shocked at first, then he seemed to remember something and asked anxiously, "Where did you find the body?"
"Under the city wall, beside the railway, in the weeds."
Prentiss' eyes widened in disbelief, then he became angry and struggled violently, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn Clifford! This bastard deceived me!"
