into the night.
At the home of Lao Liao, the chief detective of the French Concession police station.
As the old-fashioned wall clock chimed, his street-facing window suddenly opened.
Subsequently.
A slender figure leaped into the air, landing silently on the second floor of his house.
"The time is just right."
"Old material".
"You are my first target."
The room was dark and silent. As he muttered to himself, Li Yunlong turned around and closed the window he had entered through, so that the noise from the street outside wouldn't disturb the people inside.
Then he lowered his body, slowed his pace, and slowly walked towards Lao Liao's study.
Li Yunlong's agility is quite good.
From where he sneaked in to Lao Liao's study, there was a distance of seven or eight meters between them, and two doors. He walked slowly towards them. Surprisingly, he didn't make a sound.
Arriving at the door of Lao Liao's study, Li Yunlong stuck out his tongue and curled it, and a thin steel wire fell into his hand.
He picked up a wire and poked it back and forth on the door lock a couple of times. With a crisp "click," the locked door was opened.
It only took a few breaths.
Entering Lao Liao's study and locking the door behind him, Li Yunlong finally no longer needed to suppress his emotions. He straightened up and began to look around.
quickly.
Li Yunlong discovered a German-style safe in the bookcase in the corner of the study.
He chuckled and strode over.
Arriving at the safe, Li Yunlong squatted down and took a quick look. He immediately curled his lip in disapproval.
"And the Chinese detective chief of the French Concession?"
"Is this the only piece of junk you deserve in your home?"
As he muttered to himself, Li Yunlong moved closer to the safe, pressing his ear against it as he fiddled with the latches.
Without the aid of any other tools, in just a dozen seconds, Li Yunlong's eyebrows were raised.
"Open it for me!"
With a soft shout, the safe opened, and a golden light suddenly shone before Li Yunlong's eyes in the darkness.
He turned to the side and saw what was stored in the safe. Li Yunlong didn't rush to take action, but instead shook his head and sighed.
"This feeling is so familiar."
“I haven’t done this job for several months.”
"I do miss it a bit."
That being said, Li Yunlong was quick to act. He reached down and touched his lower back, and a cloth bag he always carried with him fell into his hand.
"Take the valuable banknotes and deposit slips first."
"Let me see how much we've reaped this time!"
"The captain is the same. I could have completed this mission by myself, but he brought over a bandit king from the south to challenge me."
"Hmph, I'd like to see whether I, Li Yunlong, am more powerful, or this Southern Bandit King is more powerful!"
Li Yunlong muttered to himself as he stuffed US dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen, and deposit slips into the bag.
A short while later, Li Yunlong pocketed the banknotes from various countries in the safe.
"Only 30,000?"
"This poor wretch is a detective in the French Concession's Mailan Police Station, and this is all the money he has at home."
"Pah! I'll stare at you!"
Li Yunlong shook his head and spat out a mouthful of phlegm. After thinking for a moment, he finally reached out and took out the gold bars from the safe.
This thing is also a form of hard currency.
Although it's not as convenient to carry as banknotes, a full-weight gold bar can still be exchanged for over a thousand US dollars.
Normally, Li Yunlong wouldn't even look at these things.
But things are different now. He's going to fight the Southern Bandit King that Ye Shaohong has found, so he can't let go of even the smallest piece of meat on the mosquito's leg.
After looting all the valuables from the safe, Li Yunlong chuckled strangely again, then pulled out a casino chip from his pocket and tossed it into the safe.
This piece of clay was specially given to Li Yunlong by Ye Shaohong before the operation.
Its origin is also very simple.
He is the mud horse of Zhang Xiaolin's casino, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai.
Why did Ye Shaohong do this?
Because Zhang Xiaolin isn't a good person either.
The three tycoons of Shanghai, Huang Jinrong and Du Asheng, both committed many evil deeds after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, but they both deeply understood the greater national cause.
No one betrayed their country and defected to the Japanese. Only Zhang Xiaolin, shameless as ever, became a traitor and sellout in his old age for wealth, power, and official position.
This is not counting.
To consolidate his position, he also helped his disciple Li Shiqun establish the Wang Jingwei regime's No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters.
She also placed her godson-in-law, Wu Dabao, in the position.
With Zhang Xiaolin's help, Li Shiqun was able to establish this den of wolves in Shanghai in a short period of time, where he murdered many anti-Japanese patriots.
Ye Shaohong is petty.
Although Zhang Xiaolin has not yet committed any acts of treason, signs of it are already emerging.
In order to eliminate this scourge's power to the greatest extent possible, Ye Shaohong added another rule to this showdown between the North and South Bandit Kings.
After each successful theft, Li Yunlong and He Jian would leave a mud horse from Zhang Xiaolin's casino at the location of the theft.
They are all ordinary goods priced at one yuan.
The only difference is the location of the casinos in Muddy Road.
This serves as a marker of their actions.
When the wealthy merchants, nobles, corrupt officials, and tyrants of Shanghai discover that their valuables have been stolen, and see the mud horse that Li Yunlong and He Jian deliberately left behind, even if many people do not believe that Zhang Xiaolin is behind this, they will still have some guesses.
I have some doubts.
At that time, they will inevitably confront Zhang Xiaolin and create some trouble for him.
Consider this a prize for the showdown between the Northern and Southern Bandit Kings.
"Finished."
"knock off!"
Li Yunlong quickly swiped his hands across the cloth bag at his waist, locking it securely. Then he closed the safe door, got up, and went to the window to glance outside.
After confirming that no one was around, he opened the door and quietly left the villa along the same route he had come from.
Shanghai was bustling that night.
The high-ranking officials of the British and Japanese concessions were still arguing over the tragic death of Dafeng Shaxun, who loved to eat, and the massacre of several high-ranking officials in the Japanese concession.
Even in the darkness, Li Yunlong and He Jian were not idle.
In one night, the two of them visited the residences of twenty-three traitors, local bullies, corrupt officials, and unscrupulous businessmen in Shanghai.
Without alerting anyone, they quietly stole a huge amount of money.
As the first light of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, Li Yunlong and He Jian, both exhausted, arrived at the place they had agreed upon with Ye Shaohong.
They placed all their loot from that night in front of Ye Shaohong. After checking it, the total amount shocked Ye Shaohong.
A total of $430,000.
So who will be the final winner?
