In the 1930s, China was in an era of domestic warlord strife, and the Japanese invaders were eyeing it greedily. So many people died, and so many people don't know how to proceed in the future. At that time, the chinese government was also trying every possible way to prepare funds and materials for the war of resistance against Japanese Aggression.....
At the time, in the police station of the French Concession in Shanghai, a young man, about 25 years old, wearing a checked coat and a baseball cap, was being scolded by a fat-headed police chief.
The fat-headed police chief said angrily," How many times have you come here this week? Do you like this place, or do you dislike me? So you keep causing me trouble."
The young man helplessly said," I did not do it on purpose. As a detective, I am just doing what I should do and fulfilling my duties."
The fat-headed police chief said testily, " Over the past few months, you have received hundreds of complaints, and they are all from powerful people in society. If you want to die, you should not bring me together. I don't know why you like to investigate the secrets of the upper class."
The young man said peacefully, "Because rich people always have more money to hire some detectives to investigate their rivals. Meanwhile, rich people always have more secrets to hide. There is always some wives who want us to find out the husband's lover, or sometimes, some wealthy businessmen hope that we can find out the evidence of commercial crimes committed by their competitors. Sometimes, there are even some nobles who hope that we can find the lost treasures of their families for them. As a detective, I can't choose my customers. I also need to earn money to support myself. moreover, these investigation journeys often bring me a lot of pleasures. Otherwise, life would be dull."
The fat-headed police chief said impatiently," But this time, you have caused a big trouble. You actually got the blame on the French administrator of the French Concession. Now he is furious and demands that we must punish you strictly. At the very least, you should be imprisoned for half a month to teach you a lesson."
"But if you don't want the intimate photos of him and his lover to be scattered all over the streets and alleys of shanghai the next day, you can still consider it and put an end to this matter. It is more important for him to care about his personal reputation and how to soothe his wife,who is now furious than to punish me. My assistants are waiting for me to come back at the moment or are considering whether to distribute the evidence in their hands." The young man said teasingly.
The fat-headed police chief was thinking that if this matter wasn't handled properly, he might lose his job. So he said with a smiling face," In fact, what the French ambassador meant was that as long as you don't spread the evidence in your hand, we won't make things difficult for you. As for the labour fee paid to you by the ambassador's wife, you can also keep it and use it gradually. If you agree, you can leave after paying the bail. As for your detective agency, it can continue to operate normally. What do you think?"
The young man said helplessly," But you suddenly broke into my detective agency today and arrested me. Now I don't have a penny on me and can't inform others to pay my bail. Naturally, I can't leave here."
Just then, an old man's voice rang out and said," Detective Mo Fan, let me pay this bail for you."
At this moment, all the people in the police station looked at the old man in a Zhongshan suit, with white hair. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were bright and alert. Somehow, this old man gives people the impression of being wise enough to see through everything.
