Lost and Spy

Chapter 552
A secret arrest began in Shanghai.

Those well-known hooligan leaders on the beach are going to be in trouble.

Jin Badou was sleeping at home. In the middle of the night, a few Japanese spies rushed in and kidnapped him without saying a word.

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

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

The saddest one is Sheng Cangbin.

His old man was smoking opium at home, and the people who rushed in slapped him several times.The old man had never been so angry before, so he wanted to resist, but was punched and kicked again.

When he arrived in the interrogation room, the old thing could only breathe out, not breathe in, and it seemed that it would fail.

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

That's why Matsumoto Nitsutsu was so angry. He had carefully asked the country whether Mrs. Yanagihara Hakuren was in Japan, but he didn't know where the news leaked, and he was severely reprimanded by the country.

Moreover, the country pointed out very seriously that those who damage the reputation of the earl must be severely investigated and dealt with.

Being reprimanded by the first pass in the country, Hitoshi Matsumoto was extremely annoyed.

These prisoners who were secretly arrested were bad luck.

In the interrogation room, from morning to night, there was endless wailing.

All available instruments of torture were used on them.

But what can they explain?

Where did this 300 million yen counterfeit bill come from?
It was really given to them by that "Liu Yuan Bai Lian".

However, there was no one named "Liuyuan Bailian" registered in the International Hotel at all.

The hotel also declined to take responsibility for the incident.

And Niu Mibo, who was connected to it, disappeared mysteriously.

That's right, maybe she got wind of something in advance and ran away early?
Brothel owners, bag snatchers, money swindlers, and human traffickers... these four industries that Shanghai Tang can't effectively control at all, four big bosses were arrested at the same time.

Especially the Feibao Party, the Flower Arranging Party, and the Ant Media Party, all panicked because of the disappearance of the boss. They didn't know what happened, which gods they offended, and whether the next attack would be right. For myself, I had to take the method of temporarily suspending all activities.

The number of criminal cases in Shanghai dropped dramatically.

This... From another perspective, did the Japanese special agency actually do a good thing for Shanghai?
Not only people like Jin Badou, but also the former chief inspectors of the Shanghai International Settlement "Er Shan" Zhao Shankui and Qin Shangao were implicated without exception.

Not only did they suffer heavy losses and lost all their life savings, but they were also summoned by the Japanese Overseas Chinese Patrol Office.Finally, because of their past as inspector generals, they were not tortured and interrogated by the Japanese special agency.

But how did all this come about?
Jin Badou would never have imagined that because he blackmailed a young man for two thousand oceans, not only did he and his "friends" go bankrupt, but it was hard to say whether he would even be able to save his life.

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

But even if Jin Badou and the others were killed, they wouldn't know what was going on?
Meng Shaoyuan's money is hard to get.

That would be bloody.

Unfortunately, Jin Badou will never understand this truth.

forever……

……

In this case, Nakano Taro has benefited the most.

Before leaving office, solving such a big case rent was enough for him to return to China with glory.

And that's not all.

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

A full 300 million yen.

The number is astonishing.

However, at the bottom of one of the boxes, Nakano Taro suddenly found a string of numbers:
"9, 12, 26, 37..."

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

This string of numbers was what he found on the cigarette case during the Zhengjin Bank robbery!
In order to decipher the mysteries contained in these numbers, he almost exhausted his efforts!
However, he still got nothing.

Now, these numbers that he is extremely familiar with have mysteriously appeared again!
And 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's a pity that the person who was taken away by the Japanese special agency, he, a small detective, has no way to get him.

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

He inspected the box carefully, and felt something in the interlayer.

He used a knife to cut open the mezzanine of the suitcase, and inside he found a letter.

With trembling hands, he opened the letter, which was 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?It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have done a lot of good things since you became the inspector of the Japanese police station.Moreover, you are not a person who favors war..."

"You are not a man for war".

With this sentence, Nakano Taro can roughly judge that the letter writer is likely to be a Chinese, and he continued to read nervously:

"After the Battle of Shanghai broke out, some Chinese wounded soldiers entered the public concession. When you were patrolling, you found five Chinese wounded soldiers who fled into the Japanese overseas Chinese area on Tang En Road in a panic. But you not only did not arrest them, but also Let them go. You know the consequences, and you do it anyway, and it will change your life.

You are a detective, you solve the case with all your heart and responsibility, and no one will blame you.But there are some cases that you will never be able to solve in your lifetime. Forget about it and go back to Japan.When the war is over, if you have time, come to China and Shanghai again, and you will see a completely different country.Yes, sooner or later the war will end.

Live well, everyone who has helped China, I will never forget it, no matter you are American, British, or Japanese.Believe in a word, good people are rewarded.But, never go to the gold bank robbery again, bye. "

Goodbye!

Holding the letter, Nakano Taro's hands began to tremble slightly...

……

In June 1938, Taro Nakano, the inspector of the Japanese police station in the Shanghai International 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, Nakano Taro, who had been unemployed for a long time, was so impoverished that he had to rely on picking up garbage for a living.

February 2, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

A jeep stopped in front of the slum, and an American captain knocked on the door of Nakano's house.

"It's not easy to find you."

"Are you?" Nakano Taro asked suspiciously.

"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 then left without saying anything.

Nakano Taro opened the box suspiciously.

There, it's $[-]!
There is one more letter.

Taro Nakano opened the letter.

The Japanese writing on it is so familiar:

"One wounded soldier, $[-], five wounded soldiers, $[-]. Now do you believe that good people get rewarded?"

Nakano Taro's tears flowed quietly. He looked at the sky and seemed to be muttering there:
"Is that you, Meng? We met for the first time at Mrs. Qiangwei's house. Your name is Charles Meng. It was you who gave me the clues. I went to the books to find the answers to those numbers... Later, I worked hard to collect the Shanghai After careful study in the old archives of the International Settlement, during the bombing case of a certain guide agency in Shanghai, Jin Badou once dealt with a man named Charles Meng. Check it out on your head.

It's not a coincidence between the two, it's all designed by you, you planned the Zhengjin Bank robbery, you planned the shocking counterfeit banknote case, and it's been all over the world, right? "

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Charles Meng, Meng Shaoyuan, I didn't know until a long, long time later that Meng Shaoyuan was Charles Meng. However, this is no longer my business. Everything To atone for the war we started, you are an amazing man, thank you."

After finishing speaking, he sighed deeply, and his eyes were moist again:

"I really miss you and my life in Shanghai. Is there any chance for us to meet again?"

……

"There is no chance to meet again." Meng Shaoyuan stretched his waist: "The bastards were all arrested by the Japanese. Hehe, the Japanese did a good thing for Shanghai."

"Sometimes I sympathize with your enemies." Wu Jingyi said suddenly.

"Why?" Meng Shaoyuan didn't really understand.

"Being an enemy, the great thing is to kill the other party." Wu Jingyi said lightly: "But you are different, you are narrow-minded, whoever offends you, you must retaliate ten times and a hundred times, you may not necessarily want others I just like to torment others, to ruin the opponent's family, and to be happy when I'm worse off than dead."

Meng Shaoyuan laughed "heh heh": "It's a big deal. During this period of time, we got a lot of money from traitors and hooligans, right?"

"Well." Wu Jingyi nodded: "Bring back a sum of money to Tang Zong, we still have about 50 US dollars left. According to your instructions, [-] US dollars will be allocated to the wounded soldiers fund in an anonymous form. That is There is a fund established by well-known folks, there will be no corruption, and another one hundred thousand US dollars is spent to quietly resettle Chinese refugees in the public concession."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "You have a dark heart, so dark to death. But you are kind-hearted, and your kindness is... admirable."

Being able to say the word "admiration" from Wu Jingyi's mouth is probably the greatest achievement of Young Master Meng in his life!
