A secret arrest began in Shanghai.

Those famous gangsters on the beach are going to be in trouble.

Jin Badou was sleeping at home. In the middle of the night, several Japanese agents suddenly rushed in. Without saying a word, they put him in a sack and kidnapped him.

Wan Bozhong was playing mahjong at home, and he and his mahjong friends were all forcibly taken away.

Lu Lianyi was lucky, and was taken away by the patrol, but the place he was sent to was not the patrol room, but the interrogation room of the Japanese secret service.

The saddest thing is Shengcang Bin.

His old man was smoking opium at home, and was slapped several times by someone who rushed in. The old man had never been so angry before, so when he tried to resist, he was slapped and kicked again.

When he arrived at the interrogation room, the old man could only breathe out, not in, and he was in trouble.

"I can't stand it anymore, so bring his son!" Matsumoto Nitsugi said viciously.

No wonder Matsumoto Nitsugi was so angry. He had already carefully asked the country whether Mrs. Yanagihara Byakuren was in Japan. However, the news leaked out somewhere and he was severely reprimanded by the country.

Moreover, the country has pointed out very seriously that those who damage the reputation of the Earl must be severely investigated and punished.

Being reprimanded by Domestic Communications, Matsumoto Nitsuji was extremely angry.

These prisoners who were secretly arrested were extremely unlucky.

From morning till night, the sound of wailing could be heard in the interrogation room.

All available torture instruments were used on them.

But what can they explain?

Where did these three million yen counterfeit bills come from?

It was really "Yagihara Byakuren" who gave it to them.

However, there was no one named "Yagihara Byakuren" registered at the International Hotel.

The hotel also refused to take responsibility for the incident.

And Niu Meibo, who was the puller, mysteriously disappeared.

That's right, maybe she got some information in advance and ran away early, right?

Those who run brothels, those who snatch bags, those who cheat money, and those who traffic people... These four industries in Shanghai cannot be effectively controlled at all, and four big bosses were actually arrested at the same time.

Especially the Flying Packet Party, the Flower Arrangement Party, and the Ant Matchmaker Party, all panicked because of the disappearance of their boss. They had no idea what was going on, which gods they had offended, and whether the next move would be directed against them.

I was convinced that I had to take measures to temporarily stop all activities.

The number of criminal cases in Shanghai suddenly dropped significantly.

This... from another perspective, did the Japanese special agencies actually do a good thing for Shanghai?

Not only people like Jin Badou, but also the former Shanghai Public Settlement Inspector-General "Er Shan" Zhao Shankui and Qin Shangao were implicated without exception.

Not only did they suffer heavy losses, losing all their life savings, but they were also summoned by the patrol room of the Japanese overseas community. Finally, because of their past experience as chief inspectors, they were not tortured and interrogated by the Japanese special agencies.

But how did all this happen?

Jin Badou never imagined that because he extorted two thousand yuan from a young man, not only did he and his "friends" lose everything, but it was hard to say whether they could even save their lives.

The Japanese will never give up until they find out the source of the counterfeit money here.

But even if they beat Jin Badou and others to death, they still don’t know what’s going on?

Meng Shaoyuan's money is not easy to get.

It will be bloody.

It's a pity that Jin Badou will never understand this truth.

forever……

…

In this case, the person who benefited the most was Taro Nakano.

Before leaving office, he solved such a big case, which was enough for him to return to China in glory.

And that's not all.

All the counterfeit banknotes were seized at Jin Badou's house and put in three large boxes.

A total of three million yen.

The number is extremely astonishing.

However, at the bottom of one of the boxes, Taro Nakano suddenly discovered a series of numbers:

"9,12,26,37..."

Nakano Taro's head exploded with a "bang".

This string of numbers was what he found on the cigarette casing during the Zhengjin Bank robbery!

In order to decipher the mysteries contained in these numbers, he almost exhausted his efforts!

However, he still found nothing.

Now, these numbers that he was so familiar with appeared mysteriously again!

And they are exactly the same!

Why?

He wanted to bring those prisoners for careful questioning to see if he could solve the mystery that had troubled him for countless hours.

It was a pity that he, a small detective, had no way of getting the people taken away by the Japanese special agencies.

His keen intuition told him that since the other party left these numbers here, there must be a secret in the suitcase.

He examined the box carefully and then felt something that seemed to be in the mezzanine.

He cut open the compartment of the suitcase with a knife and found a letter inside.

He opened the letter with trembling hands. It was a letter written in Japanese:

"Detective Nakano, congratulations on finding this letter. I know that with your intelligence, you will be able to find this letter. Then you are one step closer to the answer to the Zhengjin Bank robbery...

Who am I? This is not important. What is important is that you have done a lot of good things since you became the detective of the Japanese prison. Moreover, you are not a person who supports war..."

"You are not a pro-war person."

Based on this sentence, Nakano Taro could roughly judge that the person who wrote the letter was probably a Chinese, and he continued to read nervously:

"After the Battle of Shanghai broke out, some wounded Chinese soldiers entered the public concession. When you were patrolling, you found five wounded Chinese soldiers who had hurriedly entered the Japanese community on Tangen Road to escape. But not only did you not arrest them, you also

Let them go. You know how serious the consequences will be, but you do it anyway, and it will change your life.

You are a detective. You solve cases with all your heart and no one will blame you. But there are some cases that you will never be able to solve in your life. Forget about it and go back to Japan. When the war is over, come to China again if you have time.

In Shanghai, you will see a completely different country. Yes, the war will end sooner or later.

Live well, I will never forget everyone who has helped China, no matter you are American, British, or Japanese. I believe that good people are rewarded. But never go to Zheng Jin again

Bank robbery, goodbye."

goodbye!

Holding this letter, Taro Nakano's hand began to tremble slightly...

…

In June 1938, Taro Nakano, the Japanese house arrest inspector in the Shanghai Public Settlement, resigned from his post and was ordered to return to China.

Immediately, he served as a police officer in Chiba, Japan. Later, because of his negative attitude towards the war, he was transferred to a local police station in 1939 as the director.

…

In 1946, Taro Nakano, who had been unemployed for a long time, was so poor that he had to make a living by picking up garbage.

February 2nd is the first day of the Chinese New Year.

A jeep stopped in front of the slum, and a U.S. military captain knocked on the Nakano family's door.

"It's not easy to find you."

"Who are you?" Taro Nakano asked doubtfully.

"Hey, don't worry about who I am, someone asked me to bring you some small gifts." The American captain handed a suitcase to Taro Nakano and left without saying anything.

Taro Nakano opened the box in confusion.

There is $50,000 in it!

There is another letter.

Taro Nakano opened the letter.

The Japanese writing on it is so familiar:

"One wounded soldier, ten thousand dollars, five wounded soldiers, fifty thousand dollars. Now do you believe that good people are rewarded?"

Nakano Taro's tears quietly flowed out. He looked at the sky and seemed to be murmuring to himself:
To be continued...
