Wei Ruolai personally saw that Li Chengda was transferred to the Ritsha Hotel. He booked a room in the hotel, but he didn't know which room Li Chengda was staying in, so he called every guest room to confirm. Finally, he heard that Li Chengda was in room 605. Kang Shaojie brought his men to the Ritsha Hotel overnight.
He immediately took out ten gold bars on the spot and forced Li Chengda to reveal the underground party member who tried to kill him. Li Chengda was afraid that Kang Shaojie would silence him after he told the truth, so he insisted on talking to Yu Shiqing. Kang Shaojie had no choice but to dial Yu Shiqing's number. Li Chengda confessed that the person who assassinated him last night was Shen Jinzhen.
Shen Jinzhen is a member of the Anti-Traitor Squad. She has a special fragrance on her, which is a mixed scent of an Italian brand of shampoo and body wash that Mrs. Yu gave to Shen Jinzhen. Li Chengda used to run a spice shop, so he knew about this. Yu Shiqing quickly went to find his wife to verify the situation. Lin Qiaosong also smelled a faint fragrance when he entered Li Chengda's ward last night. Mrs.
Yu had two sets of Italian imported shampoo and body wash in total. She gave one set to Shen Tunan's wife, Su Cishu, and kept one set for herself. Kang Shaojie ordered the arrest of Shen Jinzhen. Li Chengda wanted to leave with the gold bars, but Kang Shaojie said they would talk about it after Shen Jinzhen was caught. Li Chengda had to wait patiently.
Wei Ruolai and Lin Qiaosong took the reconnaissance team to the train station and pier to apprehend Shen Jinzhen. He sweated for Shen Jinzhen. Wei Ruolai secretly eavesdropped on the phone in room 605. Shen Jinzhen was waiting for her train at the station. The station staff suddenly received a notice from the reconnaissance team, asking them to strictly check all passing passengers. The station broadcast announced that the train to Suzhou was delayed.
Shen Jinzhen was uneasy, worrying that the situation might have changed. Kang Shaojie knew that Shen Tunan was backed by Mr. Song, so he dared not provoke Shen Tunan. He ordered his subordinate guarding room 605 to silence Li Chengda. Wei Ruolai heard everything clearly over the phone. Li Chengda knew he was in grave danger. He took the opportunity when the person was not paying attention, snatched his gun, and shot him dead on the spot.
Guests at the Ritsha Hotel heard the gunshots and scattered in panic. Li Chengda took advantage of the chaos to escape with the gold bars. Wei Ruolai saw it all. The train slowly entered the station. As soon as Shen Jinzhen reached the platform, she saw members of the reconnaissance team searching everywhere. Frightened, she quickly hid to the side, trying to get on the train through the rear door. However, she was caught red-handed by Lin Qiaosong.
Shen Jinzhen knew she couldn't get away, so she surrendered. When Kang Shaojie learned that Shen Jinzhen had been arrested, he sent people to search the Shen family's home. He personally went to the prison to interrogate Shen Jinzhen. Kang Shaojie accused Shen Jinzhen of assassinating Li Chengda. Shen Jinzhen pretended to know nothing and tried hard to distance herself from the case. Kang Shaojie pressed her relentlessly. Shen Jinzhen answered fluently, and Kang Shaojie could not find any flaw.
Kang Shaojie used both hard and soft tactics on Shen Jinzhen, even bringing up Shen Tunan. Su Cishu was also threatened with Xiaoyuer's life, making Shen Jinzhen grit her teeth in anger. Lin Qiaosong led his men to conduct a thorough search of the Shen family home, but did not find Shen Jinzhen's gun. He had to leave disappointed.
Su Cishu quickly called the Central Hotel where Shen Tunan was staying in Nanjing, but there was no answer from the room phone. At this time, Shen Tunan was waiting to be summoned at President Chiang's residence. Chiang Kai-shek summoned visiting key officials overnight, so Shen Tunan had to wait patiently. Shen Jinzhen demanded a face-to-face confrontation with Li Chengda. Kang Shaojie had no idea where Li Chengda was.
He advised Shen Jinzhen to admit that she was a Communist Party member and promised lenient treatment for her family. Shen Jinzhen retorted mockingly and righteously reprimanded him for having no principles. Kang Shaojie slammed the door and left in anger. Wei Ruolai called Su Cishu and learned that Shen Jinzhen had been arrested, and the reconnaissance team had searched the Shen family home. Su Cishu had been unable to contact Shen Tunan.
Wei Ruolai called the Nanjing Police Bureau to report the case, falsely claiming that Huang Congyun was going to assassinate Shen Tunan, and asked the police to arrest Huang Congyun at the Central Hotel. Kang Shaojie was worried that Shen Tunan would complain about them to Chiang Kai-shek, so he dared not frame Shen Jinzhen. He immediately sent people to search the entire city for Li Chengda, so that Li Chengda could testify against Shen Jinzhen.
Shen Tunan waited for a long time. Mingda conveyed Chiang Kai-shek's order that all meetings for today were cancelled. Shen Tunan was very disappointed. When Huang Congyun learned that Shen Jinzhen had been arrested, he rushed to inform Shen Tunan. Shen Tunan hurried back to Shanghai overnight. After Shen Tunan returned to Shanghai, Wei Ruolai reported what had happened last night to him. Huang Congyun suggested putting pressure on them by having the arsenal factory step forward.
Workers from the arsenal factory came together to protest at the Garrison Headquarters, strongly demanding the release of Shen Jinzhen. Shen Tunan, accompanied by Huang Congyun and Wei Ruolai, arrived shortly after. Kang Shaojie invited Shen Tunan to his office. Li Chengda identified Shen Jinzhen as a member of the Communist Party's Anti-Traitor Squad. Shen Tunan desperately defended Shen Jinzhen.
