Chapter 339: Devil: What? All of these are fake money?
After realizing that they could not catch the people who had caused such a big disturbance in Shanghai and disturbed the Suzhou River and Huangpu River all night, the gendarmerie could only sigh in despair.
The Japanese military police captain was a little confused, especially about the recent behavior of the Chinese army. In Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army, which was always thought to be poorly equipped, could actually engage in an artillery battle with the Locust Army and still have the upper hand.
In the heavily guarded area of Shanghai, the Chinese commandos could wreak havoc with impunity, causing unrest in the entire area and then walk away without the locust army being able to capture even a single person.
Moreover, the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie suspected that the battle did not hurt these Chinese soldiers at all, and they simply left unscathed.
"Let's go! Go back to that warehouse and search to see if there are any traces left by this group of people. Arrest all the people who are related to them!"
After a moment's silence, the gendarmerie captain gave the order decisively.
Let the Chinese soldiers leave unharmed. If he doesn't do something, he might have to commit suicide to thank God.
When the gendarmerie captain led his team back to the warehouse which was still under siege, Inukai Ken from the Ume Agency also arrived at the scene with a team of Japanese spies.
"Inukai-kun, let's go take a look together."
The captain of the gendarmerie issued an invitation. At this time, the two were in the same boat. His poor defense allowed the Chinese commandos to escape, and Inukai Ken's insufficient intelligence work caused the locust army to suffer very heavy losses. It can be said that the situation pushed the two of them to the same front.
"Let's go."
Inukai Ken was in a very low mood. It was obvious that the serious mistake in this intelligence work made life difficult for him and the entire Ume Agency.
When the two of them entered the warehouse, a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of internal organs hit their noses. Fortunately, the Japanese gendarmerie captain was used to big scenes. Although Inukai Ken had a lot of Chinese blood on his hands, he had never seen such a horrifying and exciting scene. His face turned pale and he even felt a little nauseous.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Inukai Ken carefully checked everything in the warehouse. Apart from bloodstains, there were paper money all over the floor.
This is the paper money that was scattered out after Gatling machine gun bullets hit the wooden boxes in the warehouse when the Chinese commandos were evacuating.
Inukai Ken squatted down, picked up a few bills, and dusted them off to remove the dust. Surprisingly, they were as clean as new.
"Huh? Why does this look like new money?"
Inukai Ken continued searching for something with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he saw several bundles of banknotes on the ground. He picked them up and examined them carefully.
He counted the stack of military promissory notes with great skill. The paper was very smooth and stiff, and the printing was also very exquisite.
The more Inukai Ken touched it, the more he felt something was not right. He had handled many military notes of the Locust Army, and many of them were brand new. However, even the notes that had just come off the production line did not have this texture.
Because the Locust Army's military promissory notes were essentially printed for the purpose of robbing China's wealth, and it was impossible for them to require too much thought or advanced technology.
It was good enough that they didn't just stamp two stamps directly on the straw paper, but how could it be printed so exquisitely?
The more Inukai Ken thought about it, the more suspicious points he felt.
He took a file bag from someone next to him, put the scattered banknotes and the bundle of brand new banknotes into it, and prepared to take it back for further research.
Then, Inukai Ken turned his attention to the wooden boxes in the warehouse. Some of the boxes had been shattered by 12.7mm caliber bullets, revealing the torn banknotes inside.
He roughly counted them and found that there were about seventy or eighty boxes of banknotes, including the broken wooden boxes.
Inukai Ken silently asked himself a question in his heart: "If these boxes are full of banknotes, then where did these people get so much money from?"
"Captain, can you arrange for some soldiers to help move these boxes to the truck outside the warehouse? We need to carefully trace the source of this batch of banknotes."
Inukai Ken told the gendarmerie captain that they both had the same interests in this matter, so communication was quite smooth.
"it is good."
The gendarmerie captain immediately arranged for several Japanese soldiers to move the dozens of wooden boxes. When the first Japanese soldier moved a box in the middle, a sound that made everyone present's scalp tingle was rang out.
That was the sound of the fuse burning.
The military police captain was quick-witted and grabbed Inu Yangjian and rushed towards the warehouse door.
boom.
A series of explosions were heard. The explosives hidden in a pile of cardboard boxes exploded. Dozens of boxes of paper money were instantly broken open and thrown into the air. It was actually raining money from the sky.
At the same time, the incendiary bombs placed in the pile of boxes also exploded with a loud bang. A huge ball of flame instantly rose into the sky. The blazing flames met the paper money falling from the sky, and then it burned even more violently.
The Japanese soldiers who were assigned to move the boxes were shaken into the air on the spot, and their organs were seriously damaged due to the force of the shock wave.
Before they lost consciousness, they saw paper money burning all over the sky, and a thought suddenly flashed through their minds: they should have enough money to spend when they go to see Amaterasu.
The power of an incendiary bomb is not as simple as burning a few pieces of paper money. Instead, it has an extremely high temperature and burning viscosity, and everything it sees will be burned.
The backs of the military police captain and Inukai Ken were covered with burning materials from incendiary bombs, which instantly began to burst into flames. The two men screamed miserably, causing the Japanese soldiers outside who had not come in to shudder.
Thanks to the desperate rescue efforts of several other Japanese soldiers, the two men managed to survive, but they suffered severe burns on their backs.
Inukai Ken was extremely weak at this time, and his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at the city. If the commandos fell into his hands, he would definitely retaliate double.
Because the matter was of great importance, even though he was seriously injured, Inukai Ken did not dare to faint on the spot. He arranged for people to carry him to the residence of the Ume Agency as soon as possible. Yingzuo Zhenqiao was still waiting for his reply.
"So, the warehouse is full of this kind of banknotes?"
Yingzuo Zhenqiao glanced at the embarrassed Inukai Ken, and asked the agency's specialized banknote expert to carefully check the banknotes.
"Yes, it is."
Inukai Ken said with a grimace, obviously in great pain.
At this moment, the banknote expert in the Mei Agency put down his equipment and blood-stained banknotes and said seriously: "General, Colonel Inukai, these military notes are all counterfeit."
"What? They're all counterfeit money?" Inukai Ken widened his eyes.
"Yes, Colonel."
Inukai Ken: “…”
Inukai Ken, who had been struggling to hold on, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted on the spot in Kagesa Tadaaki's office.
