Heavy rain washed the blue plank road of Tang Street. Tang Ren squatted at the door of "Lao Xie Antique Shop" and ate a pineapple bun. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in a flowered shirt. "Kun Tai!" He jumped up and waved an oil-paper umbrella. "You, a street vendor, came to China to take credit?"
Kuntai's police badge swayed in the rain curtain: "The higher-ups sent me to do... that cultural exchange!" He kicked away the rat in the puddles, and half a yellowed boat ticket was stuck to the sole of his tactical boots - it was a copy of the manifest for the smuggled opium from Heshengtang in 1937.
Su Chen took the torn page of the ticket, and the system immediately popped up a 3D reconstruction: "The keel number of this 'Emerald' is consistent with the record of the salvage of the sunken ship in Tokyo Bay." The anatomy pointed at the virtual deck, "A modern drug packaging machine is hidden in the cargo hold."

The alarm in the forensic laboratory suddenly exploded, and Qin Feng's holographic projection condensed in the smoke: "Tokyo...Tokyo Shinjuku District vertical case, the same platinum particles were found in the charred body." The electronic screen behind him flashed Noda Koji's face, and the Japanese detective's folding fan covered half of his burned face.
"Qin-san, take a look at this." Noda Haoji held up the charred Daruma doll, with jade fragments embedded in its eye sockets. "This is the 'gift' left by the criminal. The rosary you received is made of the same material."
Tang Ren suddenly grabbed the microscope and said, "This green sheen... is from the old pit in Mandalay!" He took out his phone and flipped through the photos. "In Myanmar, there was a guy wearing a ghost mask who sold this kind of hair before!"

When comparing evidence, KIKO's virtual image suddenly filled all the screens: "Sister is here to bring you warmth~" She bit a lollipop and tapped the keyboard, "Tracking IVY's rose essential oil purchase order, the delivery address is--" The map was located at an abandoned textile factory, and the GPS coordinates formed a weird smiley face.
Lin Mo lit the incense ash sample, and the green smoke rising from the ashes made him frown: "Wormwood and ambergris, this kind of blending method..." He suddenly rushed to the file cabinet and pulled out the 1998 drug arrest file, "The opium cream that was seized was made with this kind of preservation process!"

When raiding the textile factory, Qin Feng stepped on a floor full of paper cranes. On the inside of one of the crane's wings was a Q symbol painted in blood, and when it was unfolded, it turned out to be the origami technique used by Sinuo in "Detective Chinatown 3". Tang Ren picked up half of a yellowed photo - a young Sinuo standing at Tokyo Tower, and the cufflinks of the man next to her were engraved with the python pattern of the Kyoshen Hall.
"This... this is the traditional emblem of the 'Southern Mo Family Boxing'!" Kuntai pointed his fat finger at the corner of the photo, "My great-grandfather used to be a punching bag for Master Mo Youqian!"
Su Chen shone an ultraviolet lamp on the wall, and Sinuo's handwriting emerged: "The path to salvation is within it." The arrow pointed to the rusty safe, and the combination plate on the door was shaped like the pupil of the Buddha statue in the Songpa Workshop in "Detective Chinatown 1".

The gear of Noda Koji's family watch got stuck, and the moment the safe popped open, the air raid shelter map and the car timetable of "Tang Detective 1900" slipped off at the same time. KIKO remotely compared the data: "The smuggling route of Kyosei-do in 1900 overlaps with the current drug trafficking route by 92%."
Lin Mo sniffed the moldy blueprints: "Corpse wax and sandalwood... This used to be a charity house." He kicked open the rotten coffin board, revealing a modified refrigerator - three hundred test tubes containing drug samples of different generations, the earliest of which could be traced back to the period of the "Xin Chou Treaty" signed by Li Hongzhang.
"Hundreds...hundreds of poison chains." Qin Feng's holographic projection trembled slightly, "The Q organization is older than we thought."

At the deepest part of the air-raid shelter, Noda Koji's folding fan got stuck in the self-destruct mechanism. When the countdown paused at 7 seconds, Sinuo's projection suddenly occupied all the screens: "It's time to upgrade the game." She tore up the origami, and the fragments turned into real-time surveillance images of Tokyo, London, and New York - the landmark buildings in each city flashed with Q's totem.
Tang Ren suddenly pointed at the vent: "Look! There is a black cat holding something!" Kun Tai rushed over and fell to the ground, holding half of a jade pendant in his hand - it was the family keepsake left behind by Watanabe Masaru in "Detective Chinatown 3".
Su Chen's white jacket moved automatically without wind. The system prompted that there was a fractal geometry connection between the jade pendant pattern and the Q totem: "This is not the end..." He looked at the crack at the top of the air-raid shelter, "It's the seam of the Möbius ring."
