Chapter 495: What's in the Mezzanine of the Box

"How is it, it's not bad." Facing Chen Miao, Lao Fan was a little proud. Although he was not as good as Chen Miao's home on the 18th day of Mingyueli, he was at least quiet.

"Not bad." Chen Miao saw the books on the bookshelf. There were several Russian books in Shanghai, but many of them were banned.

Lao Fan is a book lover.

He is not picky at all on this.

"I'll go boil water..." The kettle was empty, and Lao Fan was a little embarrassed. He was about to go downstairs with the kettle, but was stopped by Chen Miao, "No need, I'm not thirsty."

"Okay, if you are not thirsty, I won't burn it." Lao Fan nodded.

Xiaoqi parked the car and came in. He didn't need Lao Fan to open the door for him, so he came in by himself. He deliberately stepped on the stairs when he went upstairs and made a sound.

"Tell me the serious business."

"Okay." Lao Fan walked over, took the lamp on the desk, put it on the coffee table, took off the lampshade, and then took out a folder from the canvas bag he carried with him.

This is the x-ray film that just illuminated Itomori's box at Jishitang Clinic No. 14 Luojia Lane. Because the things are sealed in a mezzanine, if they cannot be taken out violently, they can only use this method to view the things inside.

It was a coincidence that if it weren't for the old-fashioned X-ray machine in this Jishitang Clinic, I'd probably not be able to do this.

Under the light, the things in the X-ray film were presented to the three of them. Lao Fan had tried his best to maximize the power. Anyway, the box was a dead object, so it would be fine to eat more X-rays. If this was a living person, such a large dose and long-term exposure, there would be problems.

"Sanshui, you can see, what is it?" Lao Fan asked.

"Although it is not very clear, it can still be seen that there are four rectangular metal objects here. Their thickness is about 0.5 cm, their length is about 15 cm, and their width is about 8 cm..." According to the size of the box, Chen Miao quickly calculated the size of two of them.

When Chen Miao contacted Itomori's identity, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He thought of a possibility and immediately said: "Old Fan, do you have any money? It's ten yuan."

"What are you doing?" Old Fan looked at Chen Miao vigilantly.

"I didn't bring legal currency, do you have it?" Chen Miao didn't know how to explain it, and when he took it out, he would know what to say.

Old Fan saw Chen Miao's serious look and knew that this was not a joke. Besides, Chen Miao didn't need his little money, and he was just an instinctive reaction.

After Lao Fan turned around and went to the bedroom, he came out quickly, took a small cloth bag and opened it. It was full of fragments of banknotes and copper plates.

Chen Miao took a look and pulled out a ten-yuan fiat currency issued by the central bank from him, picked up a ruler on the table and measured it.

It is 15 cm long and less than 8 cm wide. If it is accurate to millimeters, it should be 77 mm.

"Sanshui, is it money hidden in the mezzanine?"

"If it's money, why are you hiding it in the mezzanine? You can't get it from outside?" Chen Miao smiled, he had guessed it.

"What's that?"

"Although it's not money, it's related to money. Lao Fan, you know, there must be a printing master for making money." Chen Miao didn't keep it a secret and explained directly, "If I'm not wrong, the four metal blocks here are the printing master for making money."

"Ah?" Lao Fan was stunned, and Xiao Qi also showed a surprised expression. Many people could not reach money at all. Even if Lao Fan was not an ordinary person, if he didn't meet, he would not be able to reach this field.

After all, this field is too professional and cannot be accessed by professionals. There are thousands of people who spend money on the street. How many people can tell how this money was made?

I'm afraid it's less than one in ten thousand.

"Although we don't know if these four pieces are the master versions of coin, we might as well make a bold guess. Itomori is a specialist sent to China by the Japanese Province of Tripitaka. He is also an expert in coining. Professor Lan Yuhai Lan is also a top talent in printing and plate making. Zhou Fuhai brought him back from the United States. The purpose of printing money should be to issue banknotes from the Wang government. The most important thing in printing banknotes is to engrave engraving. This technology cannot be mastered by ordinary people. Professor Lan has the title of "ghost hand" in the carving engraving industry. He also participated in the master version of the fiat currency and seal carving that year. Japanese coining does not necessarily require Professor Lan, but Wang needs it, so I guess that the interlayer of Itomori's box carries a master version of the fiat currency, which is likely to be a copy."

"They want to make counterfeit money!" Lao Fan was an experienced emotional worker and immediately realized that what did the Japanese do to help the government print money?

How is that possible?

The only explanation is to secretly print counterfeit money. Fiat currency is the currency circulated by the National Government. Once a large amount of counterfeit money enters the National Government, the consequences will be troublesome.

Of course, it is not that easy to make counterfeit money. The printing and anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes is a top secret for a country. There are also the encoding and various marks on the banknotes that ordinary people may not be able to distinguish, but professionals can definitely see it.

Small-scale counterfeit banknotes do not play much role. Only large-scale use of counterfeit banknotes will have a huge impact on the financial and economic order.

Generally, a large amount of counterfeit banknotes appear in the market and are easily discovered unless the counterfeit banknotes are comparable to the real ones, reaching the point where they are fake and distorted from the real ones.

"Sanshui, if your inference is true, then the enemy is going to use counterfeit money to disrupt the economy behind us. This move is cruel enough." Lao Fan said gritting his teeth.

"So, the leaders have long been far-sighted and prepared for the future. Issuing their own currency is distinguished from fiat currency. As long as the fiat currency is not circulated in our base areas, even if the Japanese create real and fake coins, it will have no effect on us." Chen Miao smiled.

"Yeah." Old Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "What are you going to do about this? Should you remind me in Chongqing?"

"We have to find an appropriate and appropriate way to remind Chongqing that this matter not only affects the success or failure of our anti-Japanese cause, but also the safety of the wealth of many people in the rear. We have to be guarded against." Chen Miao said.

"What is Professor Lan Yuhai's attitude? Is he determined to be accomplices of the tiger, or is he forced to do anything to do?" Lao Fan asked.

"At present, I don't know very well. I am afraid that my active contact with this person will arouse Lin and Zhou's suspicion, so I hardly have too many interactions with Lan Yuhai." Chen Miao shook his head, "What's the progress on the gray falcon?"

"Grey Falcon reported that Lan Yuhai is a man with a stubborn temper, he is more cautious about outsiders, and he is also nervous. He only learned that he returned to Nagasaki first from the United States and then from Nagasaki to Shanghai. As for the purpose of his trip to Shanghai, he still doesn't know." Lao Fan said.

"Forget it, Lan Yuhai has many inconveniences in my "Lin" record. I have asked Lin Shiqun to let him move out, and there is also the Itomori, who asked them to build a garden villa on Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road to live in." Chen Miao said.

"In this way, wouldn't you be even more confused about the movements of these two people?" Lao Fan said.

"Even if I don't make this request, I'm afraid they won't stay with me for a long time. Moreover, Itomori is a very troublesome guy. I can't beat or scold him wherever he is." Chen Miao said, "Even if they move out, they will probably be responsible for their diet, life and daily life. Their identities and tasks are secret, and Lin Shiqun is not at ease to hand them over to others."

"That's good, at least it's still in sight."

"Okay, Lao Fan, this film will be kept here for you, and it will be kept properly." Chen Miao stood up and said, "It's getting late. Xiaoqi and I have to go back quickly. We have to go to work later. I have another meeting in the morning."

"Don't worry, it's almost dawn, why not have breakfast together?" Lao Fan hurriedly grabbed Chen Miao and said.

"Xiaoqi, did you agree to him?" Chen Miao looked at Xiaoqi and asked.

Xiaoqi touched his nose and lowered his head and said, "Wanshouzhai's Xiaolongbao and beef vermicelli soup."

"If we go to eat three times, aren't we afraid of being seen?"

"It's okay, give me the money and I'll just go and eat it myself..." Lao Fan said impatiently, his hands reaching out.

"You promised, you give the money."

Xiao Qiyi reached out and flipped out all his pockets, not having a penny.

"I didn't bring any money with me, so I owe it first." Chen Miao said angrily.

"You are lying to the gods. You will always be fooled when you go to Zhaofeng, and you will not bring any money?" Old Fan smiled, clearly trying to knock on Chen Miao's robbery.

"Old Fan, can you change your style of asking for money?"

"If you change it, it's not me." Old Fan laughed, "Hurry up, if you don't give it, I will calculate the interest for you, and it's still a good profit. I'll calculate it. Two small buns of buns plus a large bowl of beef vermicelli soup, and another beef offal and a piece of barbecue. How come you need a big ocean? According to the current interest on borrowing, nine out of thirteen returns..."

"Okay, you're cruel enough." Chen Miao took out a piece of ocean and put it hard on Lao Fan's palm.

"Hehe, if you have such work in the future, you must come to me. I promise not to eat more Xiaolongbao." Lao Fan put away his ocean and smiled.

"Third brother, I really want to punch him in the face just now."

"Next time, you can try it. I promise not to stop you." Chen Miao smiled and looked like he was not interested in watching the fun.

"Is he very powerful?" Xiao Qi asked subconsciously after being stunned for a while.

"I have never seen him take action, but it shouldn't be worse than me." Chen Miao nodded and said, "Before coming to work in Shanghai, Lao Fan stayed in the Soviet Union for a while."

"oh?"

"What do you say when you go back to change, do you know?"

"I know, my third brother always slept in Zhaofeng. When he woke up, it was already bright..."

"I'm looking for death, why do I always sleep in Zhaofeng?"

"Then how should I sleep?"
