Here, Lin Mo and his group were doing their own thing, but far away in Shanghai, Suzuki Ichiro and several of his colleagues were getting drunk in a Japanese tavern.
It turned out that the colleagues who were with Ichiro Suzuki yesterday, when they learned that Suzuki was about to go on a mission, invited him and prepared to carry out the mission for him.
Suzuki Ichiro, who was also depressed about what happened in Nanjing, came to this Japanese tavern with a group of his colleagues.
At this time, Suzuki's group had finished drinking. They helped each other down from the room on the second floor to the first floor and arrived at the checkout counter.
At this time, next to Ichiro Suzuki and others, there were three drunken men dressed as ronin, bragging with the shop owner.
Just listen to the leader say: "Boss... uh... let me tell you, we made a fortune today... uh... in the casino, it's called killing everyone..."
After hearing this, the shop owner just smiled and didn't want to pay attention to them at all. He turned around and started talking to Suzuki and the others.
Seeing this, the leader burped from wine and looked a little annoyed. He reached out and took out a stack of ten yen from his pocket, and patted the corner of the counter, making a snapping sound.
The eyes of everyone around the counter were attracted.
Seeing this scene, the leader showed a satisfied expression and said with a smile: "Did you see that? This is what I won today. This stack is one thousand yuan."
After saying that, the leader took out a few pictures, took them in front of the shop owner, and said loudly: "Then! This is today's drink money, no need to change."
At this time, Suzuki Ichiro happened to be in front of the shop owner. When he saw these ten yen notes, his heart suddenly thumped, and a bad feeling lingered in his heart.
Before the shopkeeper even took the money, Suzuki Ichiro grabbed a few ten-yen bills and quickly looked through them.
Seeing this situation, the boss felt distressed, but he did not dare to take any action, because Suzuki Ichiro and his group were now wearing military uniforms, and with military ranks on their shoulders, the shopkeeper did not dare to provoke them.
The leader, seeing Ichiro Suzuki snatching away the money, was about to have a fit when he was grabbed by the two people who came with him. They hugged each other and covered their mouths, not daring to let him be presumptuous.
A colleague who came with Ichiro Suzuki glanced at the three of them and asked Ichiro Suzuki: "Suzuki, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Suzuki Ichiro handed a few ten-yen bills to his colleagues and said with a wry smile: "Look, is the number of this money among the numbers issued by Chief Sakai?"
After hearing this, Suzuki Ichiro's colleagues suddenly woke up and quickly looked at the money number.
Suzuki Ichiro took a bottle of wine from the counter and poured it directly on the head of the leader, waking him up.
The person who was woken up by the water looked at the ugly Suzuki Ichiro and was so frightened that he quickly broke away from the two people holding him, apologized repeatedly in front of Suzuki Ichiro, and handed over the stack of yen.
Ichiro Suzuki took them one by one and looked at them one by one. His face became uglier as he looked at them, because all the money in the stack was within the batch number.
After reading it, Ichiro Suzuki asked the person in front of him who was apologizing sternly: "Where did you get these ten yen?"
After hearing this, the man quickly told the story of how they went to the French Concession to gamble today, how they won money, and how the other party gave them Japanese yen afterwards.
The other two people also took out the ten yen they had exchanged for today and told them what happened today.
After hearing this, Ichiro Suzuki suddenly looked ugly, but at this time there were already a lot of people around him, so he had to call his colleagues, escort the three of them and leave in a hurry.
Seeing a few people leaving, the shop owner was moved, and quickly called a clerk, handed over the ten yen in his hand, and asked the clerk to change it immediately.
At this time, the shop owner had also noticed that something was wrong, because he also received a lot of ten yen today, much more than before. In addition to what happened just now, he did not dare to keep these ten yen in his hand.
.
In the lobby on the first floor, many people noticed the boss's actions and guessed that something might have happened, so they hurriedly paid their bills and left the tavern.
It didn't take long for Suzuki Ichiro and his group to escort the three of them back to Tekko. Sakai and Takeuchi looked at the pile of ten yen on the table, their faces livid with anger.
Looking at the three people sitting on their knees in front of them with their heads buried deep in front of them, Sakai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked: "Besides these, have you three seen anything else?"
When the three of them heard this, they trembled in fear. The man who had just been in charge suppressed the fear in his heart and raised his head and replied: "Your Excellency Colonel, I also saw that people in the casino were exchanging one yen for one ocean.
Exchange yen to other people.”
"Because the market price of Japanese yen, especially the price here in Hongkou, is higher than this exchange rate, so I saw a lot of gamblers coming to Hongkou to exchange for other money after exchanging Japanese yen."
"When we came back, there were several gamblers who came with us. We even heard that there were people who specifically exchanged this money between the two sides."
When Sakai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized it and knew that someone must be up to something behind the scenes.
Sakai wanted to get angry, but there were outsiders present, so he had to signal the soldiers to take the three people out first.
The three of them were taken away, and Sakai yelled at Suzuki and the others: "Go, take people with you immediately, go outside to investigate this matter, and be sure to find out whoever is behind it."
"Hey..." After Suzuki and his group responded, they immediately filed out and headed outside with their men.
After a few people left, Takeuchi opened his mouth and said bitterly: "Sakai-kun, it's my fault for this matter. You didn't send the serial numbers of these money to other people in Hongkou..."
Hearing this, Sakai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't blame you for this. I didn't expect that the other party would be so fast, and the dirty place would be right under our noses."

Hearing this, Takeuchi said: "When I learned about the matter yesterday, the contact hours for many groups had passed, and now we are continuously sending numbers to other remaining groups."
After hearing this, Sakai said: "Takeuchi-kun, please go over and ask them to stop sending reports. To the groups that have sent numbers, re-send reports so that they don't have to check."
"Judging from the current situation, they should have finished selling this batch of money in Shanghai."
Takeuchi listened and nodded, without saying anything else, he got up and went directly to the place where the report was sent.
"Ah... brush... bang... bang bang..." After Takeuchi left, Sakai picked up his samurai sword and started slashing wildly indoors. But what he didn't know was that his bigger trouble had already come.
.
Outside, as word spread about the tavern and people kept selling ten yen, more and more Japanese expatriates realized that something was wrong and began to exchange their ten yen.
Then, Chinese people who exchanged Japanese yen from casinos and other places also got the news. They immediately brought the news back to other areas of Shanghai and continued to sell Japanese yen in those places.
Then the news became more and more outrageous. The bank where Lin Wenhua's subordinates exchanged Japanese yen also got the news and began to sell the Japanese yen in their hands, and it was Japanese yen of all denominations.
All of a sudden, it was like a hornet's nest. Rumors spread all over Shanghai, people were panicked, and there was a mess. There were people exchanging Japanese yen everywhere, and a run was formed in the middle of the night.
At first, the Japanese banks were holding on, but the exchangers all asked for gold and silver. The millions of yen that Lin Wenhua and the others had in their hands, plus the yen in the hands of other banks and private individuals in Shanghai, was a huge sum.
How can Japanese banks be able to withstand such huge numbers?
In addition, they didn't know what was going on. After exchanging for a while, they closed the door and even secretly exchanged Japanese yen.
At this time, there was no place to exchange the Japanese yen, and the price began to plummet. Some people even started to exchange the banknotes for gold and silver, fearing that other banknotes would also have problems.
Now, a hornet's nest has been completely disturbed. People in Shanghai are like headless flies. Radio waves are flying from Shanghai to all over the world, asking what exactly happened.
However, none of the information they received was known. Now, people in Shanghai began to make wild guesses again. And because the incident started in Hongkou, and because it had only been two years since January 28, these people all thought that Japan was going to do something in Shanghai again.
Something happened.
At this time, almost no one in Shanghai could stand. Those with channels began to inquire about Hongkou, while those without channels followed the trend and frantically exchanged gold and silver outside.
As for the people in Shanghai who know the situation, they are very high-tech, but now most of them are being held in a stalemate by Suzuki Ichiro and his group at the entrance of the French Concession and the people from the concession patrol room.
As time passed, the news from Shanghai spread to all parts of the country, including Lin's Trading House in Nanjing, and Lin's Trading House in Shanghai also spread the news.
After Uncle Lou answered the phone, he roughly guessed what was going on, and immediately caught Lin Mo, who was still struggling with the safe.
After hearing this, Lin Mo asked eagerly: "Uncle Lou, how much money does our Shanghai Commercial Bank have on hand? Is it banknotes or oceans?"
After hearing this, Uncle Lou didn't hesitate and said directly: "There is a lot of money in Shanghai. Now my family's money is almost all gathered there, just waiting to be exchanged for foreign currency!"
After hearing this, Lin Mo picked up the phone and called Shanghai directly, asking them to immediately change all the money into banknotes, whichever one earned more money.
Even after Lin Mo asked Lin Wenhua's men who were still at the port, he asked the Lin family to stop them. For them, Lin Mo asked them to exchange for whatever they could earn more money in addition to Japanese yen.
After giving the instructions, Lin Mo called his home in Hangzhou. After explaining the situation to his father, he asked him to call someone in Shanghai to talk about it. He also asked him to take all the Lin family's money in Hangzhou to Shanghai to see.
Can you catch up?
After that, Lin Mo called Lin Wenhua again and told him about his arrangement. When he heard that the money might be doubled, the person on the phone immediately burst into laughter.
"Pah...haha..." Lin Mo put down the phone and laughed wildly.
