~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before dawn, a slim woman appeared on the rooftop of Chang'an International Hotel.

Soon, another short man appeared beside her, who was even shorter than that woman, and the two formed a sharp contrast.

"It's more than an hour before dawn. Why did Miss Luo get up so early?"

This woman is not someone else, but Luo Shanshan, and next to her is Morita.

The two of them obviously have a task to come here.

In order to investigate theft of Siling's vault and the five Japanese banks robbed on the Bund, the two of them have been investigating for more than two years.

Because of Luo Shanshan's sixth feeling and wisdom as a woman, and the excellent detective skills she learned from Kamei, she had already locked in Zhang Meng and her subordinates. For this reason, she even went to Hong Kong again to investigate theft of the Zhengjin Hong Kong branch. When all the Japanese banks were in trouble, Zhang Meng appeared nearby by chance, which made Luo Shanshan think that Zhang Meng was the main messenger behind the scenes.

However, because Zhang Meng is too cunning, Luo Shanshan still cannot obtain key evidence to accuse Zhang Meng.

Hearing Morita's words, Luo Shanshan just smiled bitterly: "The whole night was filled with the roar of trucks, the knocking of pile hammers, the shouts of workers, and the whistle of the transport ship. It would be strange if you can sleep with such a loud noise!"

Morita came near, grabbed the fence with both hands and looked out.

Since you are standing on the roof of a thirty-story building, you can almost see the entire Chang'an City at a glance, except for some buildings above thirty-story building blocking some of the views.

"These Chinese people are so interesting. It's so ridiculous to run to this place where birds don't poop to build a city. What's the name of the Tang Empire!"

"Do you think they're stupid?"

"Don't you think so?"

Luo Shanshan shook her head and said, "They want to build a paradise and a paradise on earth. Just from the name of the Tang Empire, you can see what they want!"

Morita snorted coldly: "It is absolutely impossible for them to restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Our Japanese Empire has been oppressed by the Chinese people from ancient times to the present, and we will not have a day to make a breakthrough after the Sino-Japanese War. We must not make the Chinese people stronger again! The paradise on earth, hum, once it is confirmed that Zhang Meng did it, the Japanese Empire army will immediately razed the place to the ground. It will not take long to call the hell on earth!"

Looking at Morita's extremely vicious smile, Luo Shanshan suddenly felt that her heart was stabbed hard. It was not until this time that she remembered that she was Chinese.

As if he noticed Luo Shanshan's strangeness, Morita then remembered that she was also a Chinese, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "I don't think we need to continue investigating it. It must be Zhang Meng. We have been here for more than a week. What we saw was that they built four big cities in just two years. They almost had factories and machinery and equipment from all walks of life around the world, feeding nearly one million people, with complete urban basic supporting facilities, well-equipped troops, tanks, warships and aircraft, and cannons. All of this was planned by Zhang Meng alone. If he hadn't robbed our bank, how could he have so much money to build the so-called Tang Empire?"

Luo Shanshan nodded. After a secret investigation, all the construction funds of the Tang Empire came from the Tang Bank, and the owner of the Tang Bank was Zhang Meng. Although his father Zhang Xinhai was a local rich man from Shanghai, he was not able to provide such huge funds.

"After dawn, we will visit the prince of the Tang Empire, and we will report to the master after confirming it!"

Morita nodded, and at this time, a burst of military music suddenly came from the north of the hotel, which immediately attracted the attention of the two.

The hotel is located in the southwest of the Empire Square in Chang'an City, and directly north of the Empire Square is the Daming Palace under construction.

At this time, just before dawn, the Tang Empire was located on the sun update line, and it was the first country in the world to usher in a new day. Therefore, at the moment of sunrise every day, the Tang Empire will hold a grand flag-raising ceremony, located in the Empire Square outside Danfeng Gate on the south side of the Daming Palace.

The Empire Square is very wide, with ten Tiananmen Squares large. The central one is a national flag flagpole that is as high as 131.2 meters high. The flagpole of such a height is 1312 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty when the Tang Empire was founded. Another main reason is that the surrounding buildings are mostly designed more than 30 floors, and the national flag symbolizes the country. If it is low, it does not match it, so it must be high.

Of course, this is also the factor that Zhang Meng forgot about when he was planning the city. He only thought of building high-rise buildings as much as possible to improve land utilization. It was not until the high-rise buildings around the Empire Square rose up that he discovered this problem. He then immediately stipulated that the buildings around the square should not exceed the height of the national flagpole, but thought that the buildings in the future would definitely get higher and higher, and the happiness of the people should not be hindered by the national flagpole, so he had to add the national flagpole as high as possible to the highest level.

In order to cooperate with the world's tallest flagpole, the base around the flagpole is quite particular, divided into three layers: the inner layer is surrounded by white marble railings 1.2 meters high, and there are 8 meters wide entrance and exit channels on both sides of the east and west. The second layer is an ochre granite belt that is more than 10 meters wide, symbolizing that the Tang Dynasty will never grow old and will continue to be strong. The flag base is surrounded by 22 steps, commemorating the 22 emperors of the Tang Dynasty laid the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Today's Tang Empire will continue to move forward on the shoulders of the predecessors.

Of course, the reason why 22 steps were set up is mainly to further raise the height of the national flagpole, lower the surrounding building height, and allow people to see the national flag on the sea, achieving the goal of promoting our country's power.

The honor guards of the three armed forces selected by Zhang Meng are responsible for raising the national flag every day. They walk slowly towards the national flag pole with neat steps, with an extremely solemn expression.

There is a drum band on each platform on both sides of the flagpole. The national anthem they played was adapted by Zhang Meng based on his favorite passionate and powerful metal music style. The national anthem was very long because the flagpole was too high and too avant-garde, so people who heard such music for the first time would feel uncomfortable with their ears, but their hearts would unknowingly rise and fall with the rhythm, full of energy and fighting spirit, and could not help but feel respectful.

When the blue sky and white eagle of the Tang Empire spread its wings and flying high, the national flag rose, the rising sun also rose from the east of the horizon at the same time.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Luo Shanshan naturally saw the huge palace complex in the north again.

"Da Ming Palace? I really want to be a local emperor!"

Luo Shanshan snorted coldly, looked at the time, asked Morita to go for breakfast first, and then went straight to the Empire State Building diagonally opposite the Empire Square. She wanted to make the final confirmation to Zhang Meng in person.

Zhang Meng never wanted to see Luo Shanshan. After refusing for several days, he was forced to see Luo Shanshan. Because Luo Shanshan came forward through Bain, the British High Commissioner for the Eight Pacific, and Zhang Meng had to give Bain face.

At the Prince's Mansion's residence, Zhang Meng met Luo Shanshan and Morita, but only gave them five minutes to ask questions.

When she saw Zhang Meng again, Luo Shanshan had a lot of curious words to ask him, but it was obvious that Zhang Meng would not give her a chance, so she had to express her purpose straight to the point.

"Your country builds four modern cities from a barren land. I'm afraid the funds needed are astronomical. I wonder where His Highness got such a huge amount of funds?"

Zhang Meng knew that Luo Shanshan must be asking this question, so he was mentally prepared.

"When it comes to core national secrets, I'm sorry, there is nothing to say!"

Luo Shanshan bit her lip, but she didn't expect that Zhang Meng was trying to make excuses her like this, obviously she was acting as a political hooligan.

"I guess Your Highness should know about a series of robbery operations against Japanese banks two years ago?"

"Your Highness is busy with all his life. How can you remember what happened two years ago? But when you mentioned this, I have a little impression. Why? It's been more than two years, and you haven't caught the robbers who robbed the bank? I thought Kamei's disciples were so powerful. I really don't agree with it when I saw it today!"

Listening to Zhang Meng's sarcastic words, Luo Shanshan knew that he had done it on purpose, delaying time or creating unpleasant excuses to drive them away.

Luo Shanshan held it back, but Morita's head was hot and he couldn't help it immediately.

"Do you think we can fly around the world by plane and take a few hours to circle the earth? We can only take trains and boats to Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hawaii and San Francisco. We spent more than a year and a half on the road. In order to investigate your transactions with arms dealers from black markets in various countries, we almost died several times, otherwise we would have arrested you and received the trial of the Great Japanese Empire."

"Want to catch me?" Zhang Meng's eyes tightened, and a sharp and fierce look flashed, which scared Morita so much that he took several steps back.

It seems that Luo Shanshan has already obtained a lot of evidence, and Zhang Meng couldn't help but look up at her.

However, Zhang Meng knew that she must have not obtained key evidence, otherwise it would not be Luo Shanshan who came to see Zhang Meng but Japanese government officials.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng immediately returned to his calmness.

"I can't investigate me without pursuing it, just treat you as a star-chasing clan."

The star-chasing family? It’s so bad!

Luo Shanshan rolled her eyes immediately.

Zhang Meng changed the subject and said seriously: "However, if you slander me without evidence, then you will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. Although our small country is weak, I will protest to your Japanese government. I believe that you two small characters will not escape the jail!"

As time was about to come, Luo Shanshan secretly asked Zhang Meng to deliberately delay time, and hurriedly said in a tit-for-tat way: "If your highness cannot explain the source of funds for your country's large-scale urban construction, then I believe that the Japanese government must have reason to suspect that the funds you have in your hands are the stolen money from several Japanese banks. At that time, I think the Tang Empire will be bloody!"

Zhang Meng said very annoyedly: "Blood flows into a river? Well said, you have really become a lackey of the Japanese devils. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"

Luo Shanshan seemed to have successfully angered Zhang Meng, and she was very happy because she had regained the initiative.

"I'm just talking about the matter! Five minutes have come! We won't bother Your Highness! Let's say goodbye!"

Luo Shanshan called Morita and left now. She believed that Zhang Meng would definitely call her and extend the conversation time, so that she would win.

Sure enough, she guessed it, and Zhang Meng did call her.

"Wait!" Zhang Meng said: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed! The urban construction funds of the Tang Empire came from the over-issuance of dozens of times the Tangyuan currency from the Datang Bank. We issued over-issuance of billions of Tangyuan. We happened to make billions of dollars before the US stock market crash. We happened to buy all the supplies cheaply in the US economic crisis, so that we could carry out large-scale urban construction. I hope Inspector Luo can tell the Japanese government to know!"

Luo Shanshan originally showed a victory-like smile, but after she heard Zhang Meng's words, her smile soon frozen.

"see a visitor out!"

The game suddenly reversed, and it was Zhang Meng's turn to show a winning smile this time.

What a cunning fox!
