Chapter 551: The Big Case of Counterfeit Banknotes

"Chairman."

Uchida Daisho, who had been promoted to the manager of the Shanghai branch of Zhengjin Bank, hurriedly walked in: "There is a person who has come to deposit 500,000 yen. ”

"500,000 yen? That's a lot. ”

Hiroshi Ishishima raised his head.

This financial professional and spy who has lost his beloved son has finally barely recovered from his grief after the death of his son Ishishima Shigeji, and since then he has devoted all his energy to fighting for the empire.

Especially when the Japanese occupied Shanghai, he fell into a kind of fanaticism, and he blamed all the death of Shijima on the Chinese.

He vowed to bring China completely under the feet of the Great Japanese Empire.

Uchida Daisho said in a low voice: "I received the other party in person, but when I counted them, I found that all the 500,000 yen were counterfeit banknotes. ”

"What? All counterfeit banknotes? Hiroshi Ishishima frowned.

500,000 yuan counterfeit banknotes!

That's a staggering number.

Recently, some counterfeit banknotes have been found in Shanghai, which are very professionally made, and must be distinguished by professionals.

This quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese side.

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

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

However, Ishishima did not hold out much hope.

Who would go crazy and come to the bank to use counterfeit money?

But today, this kind of thing happened.

And what's even more incredible is that:

That's a 500,000 yen counterfeit bill!

"500,000 yen, that's too much." Ishishima muttered.

"This man has been here before." Uchida Daisho quickly said: "Our staff recognized him, and the first time he came, he saved 500 yuan and was fluent in Japanese. ”

"Is five hundred dollars real or fake?"

"Really, it's all true."

What's going on?

"Because the amount of 500,000 yuan is too large, it takes a lot of time to point it, so I have ample excuses to keep him." Uchida continued: "I have arranged him in the VIP room, and he and the people he brought have no suspicions. Also, the counterfeit banknotes he brought, except for a few well-made ones on the surface, the rest have some flaws.

The key problem is that those few photos on the surface, who are not professionals, cannot distinguish the authenticity at all, and the workmanship is exquisite, and it has reached a very professional level. Your Excellency, I think this is the most terrifying. Once such counterfeit banknotes enter the market on a large scale, the damage caused to the empire's economy will be very enormous. ”

"Bastard." Shi Dao Kuan's face looked very ugly: "Five hundred thousand, such a huge number, and he dared to deposit in the imperial bank unscrupulously." Immediately notify Inspector Nakano, detain this person immediately, and ask for the assistance of Matsumoto Daisa! ”

Uchida Daisho hesitated for a moment: "Chairman, Matsumoto Hitoji Daisa is subordinate to the Ministry of the Army, should we report this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first?" ”

"Is it another contradiction?" Ishishima sneered: "China is so huge, why isn't it the opponent of the Great Japanese Empire?" It is because they have many factions within them, and the years of civil war have greatly consumed them. Should Japan follow in its footsteps? ”

This is not to say that Ishishima's consciousness is very high.

But since his son's death, all his thoughts have been on how to avenge his son.

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

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

Uchida sighed.

The chairman worked too hard.

What can I do when I live alone......

……

Lu Xiuzhu's whole person was frightened.

500,000 yen, it doesn't take a while to get right, of course he knows that.

Zhengjin Bank was also very kind 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 they sat across from them, so they could clearly see that the bank had not done anything.

The Uchida manager also talked with them and went to the bathroom.

However, halfway through the o'clock, a detective suddenly appeared in the VIP room with several patrols, and then pointed to the money and asked:

"It's all yours."

"Yes." Lu Xiuzhu forced his composure: "Is there any problem?" ”

"These, all counterfeit banknotes!"

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

……

Taro Nakano served as a detective in the Shanghai Public Concession for six years.

In the Japanese overseas Chinese area, he has handled many cases, almost all of which have been successfully solved.

There was only one case that was always his heart disease:

The robbery of Zhengjin Bank.

The case has never been solved.

The most suspicious suspect, Xue Sangun, was shot dead by the Nationalist Government. Taro Nakano tried to intervene in Xue's investigation, but was sternly rejected by the Nationalist government.

He doesn't have much evidence about the robbers:

Cigarette cases, sweets coated with wasabi...... and, a string of mysterious numbers......

He believes that if he can't solve this robbery in his office, then it will be the biggest stain on his career as a detective in Shanghai.

He was about to leave his post, and he had applied to his superiors to stay in Shanghai for another two years, but his superiors refused.

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

It's just that what he didn't expect was that before he left office, he would handle such a huge case:

500,000 yen counterfeit banknote case!

Shocking case!

That will leave a strong mark on my career.

The interrogation began almost instantly.

The suspect was able to speak Japanese very fluently, which also made the interrogation a lot easier.

"Tell me, where did all these counterfeit bills come from?"

The dense sweat on Lu Xiu's bamboo head continued to flow.

I can't say it, I can't say it, it's going to lose my head.

"Bang".

The interrogation room was kicked open.

Hitotsugu Matsumoto walked in.

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

"Have you confessed?" Matsumoto asked as soon as he came in.

"Not yet, interrogation is being carried out."

"Really?"

Matsumoto Renji came to Lu Xiuzhu and stared at him coldly: "Name." ”

Silent.

Matsumoto Hitotsugu smiled.

Suddenly, "pop" two slaps slapped up.

Lu Xiuzhu's whole person was beaten.

"Half a million counterfeit bills." Matsumoto Renji sneered: "You, you are dead, this is a blatant provocation to the Great Japanese Empire, this is the most serious crime, there is no need for any interrogation, shoot immediately!" ”

"No!" Lu Xiuzhu screamed heartbreakingly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I said, I said it." My name is Lu Xiuzhu, and this money was given to me by Jin Badou, Wan Bozhong, Lu Lianyi, and Sheng Cangbin. ”

"They, who?" Matsumoto asked with a frown.

Taro Nakano still knows a lot about it, and he has a general introduction to the life experiences of these four people.

"Some rogue bosses." Matsumoto Renji had a cold face: "Go on." ”

"Yes, yes." Lu Xiuzhu was terrified to the extreme: "This is just a part of it, there are a total of three million yen counterfeit bills!" ”

Hitotsugu Matsumoto and Taro Nakano gasped at the same time.

Three million yen!

That's a staggering number.

Once this batch of counterfeit banknotes enters the market, how much damage will it cause to the economy of the Great Japanese Empire?

"Your Excellency Matsumoto." Taro Nakano said in a low voice: "We have found some counterfeit banknotes in the market before, but we have never found the source, I think, maybe it has something to do with this?" ”

Matsumoto Renji nodded: "You, continue." ”

At this time, Lu Xiuzhu only wanted to save his life: "Jin Badou and they, after getting this money, let me be responsible for depositing more than half of it in the bank, because I was worried that the amount would be too huge and eye-catching, so I decided to deposit it in batches." ”

"Where's the rest of the money?"

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

"Where did the money come from?"

"A Japanese woman, sold to us."

"Japanese woman?"

"Yes." Lu Xiuzhu felt that he should take out the talisman: "Ms. White Lotus." ”

"Lady White Lotus? Which White Lotus lady. ”

"The famous Yanagihara White Lotus of the Great Japanese Empire!"

Matsumoto Rentsugu looked incredulous: "What are you talking about, Lady White Lotus of Earl Yanagihara's family?" ”

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

"Yaga!" Matsumoto Renji became furious, flew up with a kick, and directly kicked Lu Xiuzhu and his chair to the ground: "Bastard, you actually slandered Lord Earl, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

"Really, really." Lu Xiuzhu didn't care about the pain, got up and knelt on the ground with a "poof": "It was really sold to us by Ms. Bailian, and she lives in the International Hotel now." ”

Matsumoto didn't believe it at all.

"Come on, take him down first." Taro Nakano is still more cautious: "Your Excellency Matsumoto, in order to make sure that in case, do you want to contact the country?" ”

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

"Okay." Taro Nakano looked full of doubts: "There are a lot of problems in this case, three million yen, why do these people dare to deposit in the bank openly?" They either have a lot of self-confidence in counterfeit banknotes or they are crazy. ”

"That's something you need to figure out." Matsumoto Renji sneered: "And I, only responsible for arresting all these Chinese and interrogating them harshly, it is impossible for the earl's family to do these dirty deeds, I suspect it has something to do with the military command of China." ”

Military commanders?

Taro Nakano is not particularly convinced.

Is the military commander capable of making so many counterfeit banknotes? That's 3 million yen, and it's a shocking case anywhere, especially in the public concession, which is enough to cause a sensation once it's publicized.

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