The case of Wei Ruolai being suspected of collaborating with the communists caused a great sensation in society. Public opinion continued to ferment, bringing a great impact on the work of the Central Bank and the Nanjing government. The Nanjing government specially dispatched Mingda, Director of Chiang Kai-shek's attendant's office, to Shanghai to handle this case. Mingda dared not neglect the matter.

He convened Deng Ze from the Central Bank Discipline Inspection Department, Kang Shaojie, and Lin Qiaosong, as well as third-party firearms expert William, to form a special investigation team. Shen Jinzhen attended the case analysis meeting as William's translator. Deng Ze specifically proposed that the Central Bank Discipline Inspection Department should participate in every investigation. Lin Qiaosong strongly protested.

He knew that Deng Ze had a very good personal relationship with Shen Tunan and was worried that Deng Ze would protect and cover for Shen Tunan. Deng Ze stated on the spot that he would handle it impartially and retorted sarcastically to Lin Qiaosong. Kang Shaojie heard that Shen Jinzhen and Deng Ze recommended William to join the special investigation team.

He dispatched Lin Qiaosong to find William's weakness as soon as possible, use every means to bribe William, and solidify the charge of Shen Tunan collaborating with the communists. Biaozi took out the bullet from Li Chengda's body and immediately handed it to Lin Qiaosong. Lin Qiaosong used the pistol Wei Ruolai stole from Zhang Mingquan to kill a death row inmate, took the bullet from his body as evidence, and framed Wei Ruolai for shooting and killing Li Chengda.

Lin Qiaosong brutally tortured Wei Ruolai, beating him all over his body, and then locked him in prison. The prison warden Jiang Huhao forced Wei Ruolai to massage his feet. Wei Ruolai had no choice but to comply. Jiang Huhao was furious when he heard that Wei Ruolai had worked at the Central Bank. With a command, the inmates punched and kicked Wei Ruolai. It turned out that before being imprisoned, Jiang Huhao was a mine manager.

He bought stocks of Xingxia Bank and Tongshang Bank, but lost everything. He deeply hated the Central Bank's manipulation of stock prices and ordered the inmates to beat Wei Ruolai again. Wei Ruolai was beaten unconscious. Li Chengda remained unconscious due to intracranial hemorrhage. Lin Qiaosong forced the doctor to perform brain surgery on him. The doctor was not confident and dared not do it. Lin Qiaosong severely reprimanded him. Wei Ruolai woke up groggily.

Suffering from extreme hunger, he struggled to get up and wanted a drink of water. Jiang Huhao did not allow him to drink water, telling him to drink urine. Wei Ruolai was tortured within an inch of his life, and the inmates felt pity for him. Jiang Huhao suppressed his anger and recounted the tragic experiences of every inmate in the same cell who had lost their fortunes due to stock trading.

Only then did Wei Ruolai realize that they had been arrested a few days ago for causing trouble in front of the city government building. He expressed deep sympathy for them. The special investigation team interrogated Wei Ruolai. Shen Jinzhen saw Wei Ruolai covered in injuries and sighed with emotion. Lin Qiaosong asked Wei Ruolai a series of questions. Wei Ruolai admitted that he robbed Zhang Mingquan's pistol and that the matter had nothing to do with Shen Tunan.

He did not kill Li Chengda and said he couldn't even use a gun. Lin Qiaosong became angry and pressed Wei Ruolai step by step. William suggested letting Wei Ruolai try shooting at the firing range. Deng Ze also agreed with William's decision. Lin Qiaosong had no choice but to send someone to take Wei Ruolai to the firing range. Wei Ruolai watched six shots being fired in a row, four of which hit the target.

William found that Wei Ruolai's grip on the gun was incorrect. Lin Qiaosong suspected that Wei Ruolai was pretending not to know how to use a gun. William performed a technical data analysis. The wound on Li Chengda's chest was very professional and definitely not done by Wei Ruolai. Lin Qiaosong was unconvinced. William suggested investigating the crime scene. Lin Qiaosong had to make a concession. The prison guard delivered newspapers to the inmates on time every day.

Jiang Huhao and the inmates in the same cell had all bought Hengmei stock, hoping to make a comeback with this stock. Wei Ruolai advised them to sell it as soon as possible, otherwise, they would lose everything. Jiang Huhao didn't believe him. Wei Ruolai then analyzed the trend of this stock for them. He explained it in simple terms.

Jiang Huhao told him that if he could recommend three stocks within five days, he would consider him a friend, otherwise, he would not be lenient. William investigated the scene. The footprints did not match Wei Ruolai's. He decided to reinvestigate the case. Lin Qiaosong, worried about being exposed, obstructed him in every way. Deng Ze threatened him by mentioning Mingda. Lin Qiaosong produced the bullet head retrieved from Li Chengda's body.

Shen Jinzhen carefully examined the scene and found a shell casing in the grass. She immediately gave it to Deng Ze and William. Wei Ruolai recommended three very inactive stocks, guaranteeing a return within five days and a doubling of value within two months. Jiang Huhao and the others were half-believing, but still bought the three stocks. From that day on, the three stocks Wei Ruolai recommended continuously dropped for four days. Jiang Huhao and the others panicked.

Wei Ruolai saw that the market maker was washing out retail investors and advised them to wait and see. Just as Wei Ruolai had expected, the three stocks surged starting from the fifth day. Jiang Huhao and the others were utterly impressed with Wei Ruolai. They even gave him the best bunk and followed his every word. Lin Qiaosong handed the bullet taken from the death row inmate to the special investigation team.

Shen Jinzhen took out the shell casing found at the scene for comparison. It was not the same model at all. Furthermore, the bloodstain on the bullet Lin Qiaosong provided was very fresh and did not match the time when Li Chengda was shot. Shen Jinzhen strongly requested a forensic pathologist's intervention and also demanded a blood type cross-match between the bloodstain on the bullet and Li Chengda's blood. Lin Qiaosong was instantly dumbfounded.

He claimed he had taken the wrong bullet and quickly went to exchange it for the one retrieved from Li Chengda's body. William found that the bullet in Li Chengda's body did not match the model of Wei Ruolai's gun. That bullet and the shell casing picked up by Shen Jinzhen were of the same model. This eliminated Wei Ruolai's suspicion of shooting Li Chengda.

Lin Qiaosong had forged evidence, intending to bring down both Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan, but failed completely. Lin Qiaosong worried that Shen Tunan would take the opportunity to retaliate. He desperately tried to win over Shen Jinzhen, wanting to make a deal with her, and even threatened Wei Ruolai's life. Shen Jinzhen sneered at Lin Qiaosong. Lin Qiaosong knew that this case had alarmed the high-level officials in the Nanjing government and did not dare to act rashly.

The three stocks that Wei Ruolai recommended kept rising. Jiang Huhao and the inmates treated him like a god. Wei Ruolai advised them not to trade stocks anymore after getting out of prison. He said that the current stock market was a game for capitalists, and ordinary people couldn't afford to play it.
