December 7, 1941, the eve of the Pearl Harbor attack. The neon lights of Shanghai's public concessions swayed in the shadow of war, and undercurrents of forces from all sides surged. British businessman Henry Chen is involved in the Chinese and Japanese business circles. On the surface, he is a profit-seeking speculator, but in fact he is the ace military agent "Raven" who has been hiding for ten years. When three corpses with their throats cut appeared at the dock, half of the "Declaration" and the mysterious "Nightingale Project" film box in the pockets of the deceased tore open the bloody curtain of the Far East spy war.
As the investigation deepens, Henry discovers that the murder case is closely connected with a missing batch of strategic tungsten mines, new operations of the Japanese spy agency "Mei Agency", and rumors of rebellion among high-level officials in Chongqing. What's even more dangerous is that a mysterious woman wearing a beret is following his every step like a ghost. The red umbrella in her hand is both a deadly weapon and a symbol of a certain death prophecy.
In the process of deciphering the "Nightingale Code", Henry was forced to engage in an intellectual duel with his old enemy, Hideo Tanaka, the director of the Japanese Super High School, and at the same time, he had to deal with the power struggle within the military command. When the truth gradually emerged, he found that he had fallen into a well-designed trap: the so-called "Nightingale Plan" actually pointed to the Pearl Harbor incident that would shock the world three days later...
