Shen Jinzhen came to find Wei Ruolai after work, but he was not home. Niu Chunmiao introduced herself as Wei Ruolai's fiancée and declared her claim to Shen Jinzhen. Shen Jinzhen shook her hand in a very friendly manner. Niu Chunmiao knew that Wei Ruolai did not like her, so she asked Shen Jinzhen for a sum of money and she would give Wei Ruolai up to Shen Jinzhen.
Shen Jinzhen repeatedly explained that she and Wei Ruolai were not a couple. Niu Chunmiao did not believe her at all. She threatened to cause a scene at the Central Bank entrance every day if Shen Jinzhen didn't give her money, thus ruining Wei Ruolai's reputation. Shen Jinzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Niu Chunmiao asked Shen Jinzhen for fifty silver dollars.
Shen Jinzhen was curious why Niu Chunmiao didn't marry Wei Ruolai and suspected there was something wrong with Wei Ruolai. Niu Chunmiao praised Wei Ruolai as filial, smart, and kind. Shen Jinzhen remained skeptical. Niu Chunmiao thought Shen Jinzhen was trying to renege on the deal and finally lowered the price to twenty silver dollars. Shen Jinzhen agreed to give her the money if she explained the reason for not marrying Wei Ruolai.
Wei Ruolai came to work early every day, working overtime to organize the资料 (information/materials) on the CCP's Soviet Area Bank. Shen Tunan invited Wei Ruolai to dinner at his home that evening and promised to give him another book to study carefully. Wei Ruolai went to Shen Tunan's home as soon as he got off work. Su Cishu prepared a large table of dishes to entertain him. Shen Jinzhen and Wei Ruolai were speechless to each other.
Xiaoyuer was curious if the two of them had quarreled. Shen Jinzhen desperately made excuses to cover it up. Shen Tunan asked Wei Ruolai to do a good job of ideological work on Shen Jinzhen and not to rush it. Wei Ruolai also felt that he had spoken too harshly last time. He proactively apologized to Shen Jinzhen. Shen Jinzhen advised him to be kind to Niu Chunmiao. Wei Ruolai wanted to explain his relationship with Niu Chunmiao.
Shen Jinzhen rattled off many embarrassing stories about Wei Ruolai from his childhood. Wei Ruolai was so embarrassed he wished he could disappear. Wei Ruolai angrily went home to confront Niu Chunmiao, complaining that she shouldn't have said bad things about him in front of Shen Jinzhen. Niu Chunmiao retorted against Wei Ruolai and even took out the money she earned to show off. Wei Ruolai saw at a glance that these were fake silver dollars.
Niu Chunmiao was so angry she gritted her teeth. Recently, many fake silver dollars have appeared on the market, causing great trouble to people's lives and work. Shen Tunan also received many reports about fake silver dollars. He called Mr. Song to apply for the establishment of a special committee to investigate the matter. Mr.
Song was worried that the investigation results of the Central Bank would not be convincing, so he asked the police station and the detective team to assist the Central Bank in handling the case. Shen Tunan had no choice but to comply. Kang Shaojie sent Lin Qiaosong to assist Shen Tunan in investigating the fake silver dollars.
Lin Qiaosong did not want to work with Shen Tunan, but Kang Shaojie's attitude was firm and beyond doubt, so he had to obey the order. The police station sent Deputy Director Yu Ziying to participate in the case. Wei Ruolai introduced the situation of the fake silver dollars to them. This batch of fake silver dollars was exquisitely made, used fine materials, and utilized regular mint technology, clearly not the work of a small workshop.
Shen Tunan briefly explained the harm of fake currency to the financial market and Mr. Song's order for them to solve the case within ten days. Yu Ziying concluded that the fake currency factory was not in Shanghai and suggested searching in surrounding counties and cities. Shen Tunan found that this batch of fake currency used discarded molds from the Nanjing Mint. Lin Qiaosong suspected that this was done by the Communist Party to disrupt their financial market.
Shen Tunan felt that the Communist Party would not have such high-end minting technology. He assigned Lin Qiaosong to search in Shanghai and asked Yu Ziying to submit all the clues he had. After the meeting, Lin Qiaosong proactively showed goodwill to Yu Ziying and even brought up Kang Shaojie. Yu Ziying agreed to fully cooperate with his actions.
Wei Ruolai suspected that Yu Ziying knew everything about the fake currency and deliberately pushed the investigation direction to other places, just to conceal the person involved. Wei Ruolai felt that the fake currency factory was in Shanghai, which was convenient for production and saved transportation trouble. Shen Tunan felt the same way. Anyone who could produce fake currency on such a large scale must have immense capability and perhaps had already infiltrated the police station with their network.
He deliberately set the initial investigation direction in Nanjing just to paralyze the other party. Shen Tunan asked Huang Congyun to carefully analyze the materials submitted by Yu Ziying and sent Wei Ruolai to find Shen Jinzhen to melt the fake currency and quickly find out the materials used. Wei Ruolai went to the arsenal to ask Shen Jinzhen for help.
Shen Jinzhen asked people in the smelting department to help test the composition of the fake silver dollars and also found that the latest batch of fake currency was produced last week. Wei Ruolai wanted to hand over the test results to Shen Tunan as soon as possible. Shen Jinzhen reminded him to be careful. Yu Ziying sent people to load all the collected fake currency materials into a car.
He repeatedly instructed the driver, Xu Zhongfeng, and even gave him a pack of cigarettes before leaving. Wei Ruolai personally escorted the car. Xu Zhongfeng chatted with Wei Ruolai while driving. As the car reached an intersection, a large truck suddenly rushed out and overturned the escort vehicle. Xu Zhongfeng and Wei Ruolai were injured and unconscious. Wei Ruolai woke up in a daze. He called out for someone to rescue Xu Zhongfeng.
Suddenly, he saw someone throw a burning cigarette butt into a large pool of gasoline leaking from the car. The car was instantly engulfed by flames. Wei Ruolai rushed forward risking his life to grab a box of materials. The car exploded, and the remaining materials were burned. Xu Zhongfeng was seriously injured and sent to the hospital. Wei Ruolai sat by the roadside, shivering, holding the box of materials. Shen Tunan arrived promptly.
Yu Ziying brought police to investigate the scene. Shen Tunan guessed that he was the mastermind behind this car accident and explosion. He rushed up and punched and kicked him. Yu Ziying pretended to be innocent. Shen Tunan swore to thoroughly investigate the matter and make Yu Ziying face the firing squad. Shen Tunan reported the matter to Mr. Song. Mr. Song reminded him to be extra careful to avoid retaliation. Huang Congyun brought decorators to renovate Shen Tunan's office.
Shen Tunan asked Huang Congyun to put important documents in the inner room and reminded the workers not to touch the things in the inner room. As soon as the workers entered the room, they drew the curtains. Shen Jinzhen came to the hospital to visit Wei Ruolai. She showed concern for him and advised him not to continue investigating the matter. Wei Ruolai insisted that the Communist Party was behind the fake currency.
Shen Jinzhen made a bet with him that even if the fake currency case was investigated to the root, it would inevitably end without resolution. Wei Ruolai didn't believe her. Niu Chunmiao delivered food to Wei Ruolai early in the morning, feeling lucky that she hadn't become a widow. The nurse brought Wei Ruolai's test results, which showed everything was normal.
Wei Ruolai didn't want to hear Niu Chunmiao continue to nag, so he quickly went to handle the discharge procedures. Wei Ruolai reported the situation of the car accident to Shen Tunan. He personally saw someone throw a cigarette butt into the car and was certain that it was deliberate, intended to destroy the investigation materials in the car. Shen Tunan also felt that Yu Ziying was highly suspicious. Huang Congyun thought it was all a coincidence.
Shen Tunan sent him to the newspaper to offer a large reward and mobilize the public to report clues about the fake currency. Wei Ruolai wanted the rickshaw pullers' association to help collect information. Shen Tunan reminded Wei Ruolai to pay attention to his personal safety. Using the convenience of running all over the city, the rickshaw pullers meticulously recorded the instances where they received fake currency from customers.
Citizens actively reported clues about the fake currency to the Central Bank. Shen Tunan, Huang Congyun, and Wei Ruolai worked overtime to compile all this information and quickly locked down the area producing fake currency in Zhabei. Shen Tunan asked Huang Congyun to call the security personnel to go to Zhabei to investigate the case. Lin Qiaosong bribed the decorators to install listening devices in Shen Tunan's office.
He learned from Huang Congyun's phone call that Shen Tunan was going to Zhabei to investigate the fake currency. He got there first and led his men to Zhabei. Shen Tunan, Huang Congyun, and Wei Ruolai led their men to search in Zhabei but found nothing unusual. Lin Qiaosong found a small workshop producing fake currency. A fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides. Shen Tunan and his group immediately rushed over.
There were scattered fake currencies piled up at the scene. Lin Qiaosong wanted to take the two survivors back for interrogation.
