Lost and Spy

Chapter 551 The big case of counterfeit banknotes
"Chairman."

Uchida Daxiang, who has been promoted to the manager of the Shanghai branch of Zhengjin Bank, hurried in: "There is a person, come to deposit 50 yen."

"50 yen? A lot of money."

Shi Daowan raised his head.

The financial professional and spy who lost his beloved son, since his son Shidao died again, finally recovered from the grief, and since then devoted all his energy to fighting for the empire.

Especially when Japan occupied Shanghai, he fell into a kind of frenzy. He blamed Shidao's repeated death on the Chinese.

He vowed to make China completely surrender at the feet of the Great Japanese Empire.

Uchida Daxiang said in a low voice: "I received the other party in person, but when I checked, I found that all the 50 yen were counterfeit banknotes."

"What? Are they all counterfeit banknotes?" Shi Daokuan frowned.

50 yuan in counterfeit bills!
What an astonishingly huge number.

Recently, some counterfeit banknotes have been discovered in Shanghai one after another. They are very professionally made and only professionals can distinguish them.

This quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese side.

After all, the lethality of counterfeit banknotes is no less than that of an elite army.

Zhengjin Bank has also received a request to assist in the investigation of counterfeit banknotes.

However, Ishijima Hiroshi did not hold out too much hope.

Who would be crazy to come to the bank and use counterfeit banknotes?

But today this kind of thing happened.

And even more incredible:

A whole 50 yen worth of counterfeit bills!
"50 yen is too much." Ishijima Hiroshi murmured.

"This person has been here before." Uchida Daxiang said quickly: "Our staff recognized him. He saved [-] yuan for the first time when he came here, and he can speak fluent Japanese."

"Is the five hundred yuan real or fake?"

"Really, it's all true."

How is this going?

"Because the amount of 50 yuan is too large, it will take a lot of time to count, so I have ample excuses to keep him." Uchida Daxiang continued: "I have arranged him in the VIP room, and he brought him with him. The person in charge didn't have any doubts. Also, the counterfeit banknotes he brought, except for a few superficially well-made ones, had some flaws in the rest.

The key issue is that those photos on the surface are not professionals, so they can't tell the authenticity at all, and the workmanship is exquisite, which has reached a very professional level.Chairman, I think this is the scariest thing.Once such counterfeit banknotes flow into the market on a large scale, the damage to the empire's economy will be enormous. "

"Asshole." Hiroshi Shidao's face looked very ugly: "50, such a huge number, and he dared to go to the bank of the empire to deposit it unscrupulously. Immediately notify Inspector Nakano to detain this person immediately, and at the same time request Matsumoto Colonel's assistance!"

Uchida Daisho hesitated for a moment: "Chairman, Colonel Hitotsu Matsumoto belongs to the Ministry of Army. Should we report this to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first?"

"Is it a contradiction again?" Shi Daokuan sneered: "China is so huge, why is it not the opponent of the Great Japanese Empire? It is because they have many internal factions, and the years of civil war have greatly consumed them. Is Japan going to follow suit? ?"

This is not to say that Shi Daokuro's consciousness is so high.

But since his son died, all his thoughts have been put on how to avenge his son.

As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Army, Navy, it has nothing to do with him.

"Okay, then I'll do it right away."

Uchida Daxiang sighed.

The chairman is working too hard.

What can I do with my life alone...

……

Lu Xiuzhu was terrified.

50 yen, it will not be ready in a short while, of course he knows this.

Zhengjin Bank was also very polite to him and the people he brought, invited them to the VIP room, and served them tea and cigarettes.

Two men were sent to count the money.

And sitting opposite them, so that they can clearly see that the bank has not done anything.

The Uchida manager also had a conversation with them, and then went to the bathroom.

However, halfway through the order, a detective suddenly appeared in the VIP room with a few police officers, and then pointed to the money and asked:
"These are all yours."

"Yes." Lu Xiuzhu forced himself to be calm: "Is there any problem?"

"These are all counterfeit banknotes!"

Nakano Taro said this, and Lu Xiuzhu's head exploded with a "boom".

……

Taro Nakano worked as a detective in the Shanghai International Settlement for six years.

In the Japanese Overseas Chinese District, he has handled many cases, almost all of which were successfully solved.

Only one case has always been his heart disease:
The Great Gold Bank Robbery.

The case was never solved.

Xue SanQiang, the most suspected suspect, was shot dead by the National Government.Nakano Taro tried to intervene in the investigation of Xue SanQiang, but was severely rejected by the Nationalist Government.

He doesn't have much evidence about the robbers:
Cigarette packs, mustard-smeared snacks...and, a string of mysterious numbers...

He believed that if he could not detect the robbery in his own post, it would be the biggest stain in his career as a detective in Shanghai.

He is about to leave his post. He once applied to his superior to stay in Shanghai for another two years, but his superior refused.

It doesn't matter, even if he returns to Japan, he will not give up.

What he didn't expect was that before he left office, he would actually handle such a huge case:

50 yen counterfeit banknote case!

Shocking case!

That will leave a strong impression on your career.

The interrogation started immediately without stopping.

The suspect can speak very fluent Japanese, which also makes the interrogation work a lot easier.

"Tell me, where do these counterfeit banknotes come from?"

Dense sweat dripped down Lu Xiuzhu's head.

Can't say, can't say, this is going to kill your head.

"boom".

The interrogation room was kicked away.

Hitosuke Matsumoto walked in.

"Your Excellency Matsumoto." Nakano Taro stood up hastily.

"Have you explained?" Matsumoto Hitotsu asked as soon as he entered.

"Not yet, the interrogation is underway."

"is it?"

Renji Matsumoto came to Lu Xiuzhu, staring at him coldly: "Name."

silence.

Hitoshi Matsumoto smiled.

Suddenly, "Papa" two slaps came up.

Lu Xiuzhu was completely stupefied.

"50 counterfeit banknotes." Matsumoto Rentsui sneered: "You, you are dead. This is a flagrant provocation to the Great Japanese Empire. This is the most serious crime. There is no need for interrogation, and you will be shot immediately!"

"No!" Lu Xiuzhu cried out heart-piercingly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I say, I say everything. My name is Lu Xiuzhu, and the money is from Jin Badou, Wan Bozhong, Lu Lian Yi and Sheng Cangbin gave it to me."

"They, who are they?" Matsumoto Rentsui asked, frowning.

Taro Nakano knew a lot about them, so he briefly introduced the life experiences of these four people.

"Some gangsters." Matsumoto Rentsusu said with a cold face, "keep talking."

"Yes, yes." Lu Xiuzhu was extremely frightened: "This is only a part of it. There are 300 million yen in counterfeit banknotes in total!"

Hitotsu Matsumoto and Taro Nakano gasped at the same time.

300 yen!
This is an amazing number.

Once these counterfeit banknotes flow into the market, how much damage will it cause to the economy of the Great Japanese Empire?
"Your Excellency Matsumoto." Nakano Taro whispered: "We have found some counterfeit banknotes in the market before, but we have not found the source. I think, maybe it has something to do with it?"

Matsumoto Rentsu nodded: "You, continue."

At this time, Lu Xiuzhu only wanted to save his own life: "Jin Badou and the others, after getting the money, asked me to be responsible for depositing more than half of it in the bank, because they were worried that the amount would be too large to attract attention. , so I decided to deposit them in batches.”

"Where is the rest of the money?"

"It's all in Jin Badou's house, and the rest of the people have also been sent to take care of them."

"Where did the money come from?"

"A Japanese woman sold it to us."

"Japanese woman?"

"Yes." Lu Xiuzhu felt that he should take out the amulet: "Ms. Bailian."

"Ms. Bailian? Which Ms. Bailian?"

"The famous Liuyuan Bailian in the Great Japanese Empire!"

Matsumoto Rentsugu had an unbelievable expression on his face: "You mean, Ms. Bairen from Earl Yanagihara's family?"

"It's her, it's her."

"Baga!" Matsumoto Renji became furious, and kicked Lu Xiuzhu and his chair to the ground: "Bastard, you dare to slander the Earl, an unforgivable crime!"

"Really, really." Regardless of the pain, Lu Xiuzhu got up and knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "It's really Ms. Bailian who sold it to us. She's staying at the International Hotel now."

Matsumoto Rentsugu didn't believe it at all.

"Come here, take him down first." Nakano Taro was still more cautious: "Your Excellency Matsumoto, just in case, should you contact the country?"

"How could the earl's daughter do such a thing?" Matsumoto Renji didn't believe it at all: "However, since you said so, I will ask domestically if Ms. Bailian is still in Japan. However, here Those people mentioned by Lu Xiuzhu before were all secretly arrested, and I will handle this matter."

"Okay." Nakano Taro looked full of doubts: "There are many problems in this case, 300 million yen, why do these people dare to deposit it in the bank openly? Either they have strong confidence in counterfeit money, Or just crazy."

"This is something you need to figure out." Matsumoto Rentsui sneered: "And I am only responsible for arresting all these Chinese people and conducting severe interrogations. It is impossible for the Earl to do such dirty things. I doubt It has something to do with the military command of China."

Military command?

Taro Nakano was not particularly convinced.

Is the military commander capable of making so many counterfeit banknotes?This is 300 million yen. Anywhere, it is a shocking case, especially in the public concession. Once it is publicized, it is enough to cause a sensation.

Moreover, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the market's confidence in the yen will soon be shaken.
