A detective who didn't want to be a detective discovered a corpse in the French Concession that shouldn't exist - what this corpse led to was not a murder, but a web that swallowed up the entire Shanghai beach.
Special node in 1928: Just after the Northern Expedition (April 1927), the National Government established Nanjing as the capital (June 1928), but the real power in Shanghai was still in the struggle among many parties - the French Concession, the Public Concession, and the Chinese Concession were separated.
The aftermath of the April 12th Incident: It was only more than a year before the bloodstains of the Party were purged on April 12, 1927. Everyone was in danger, and "whistleblowing and profit" became a ladder for some people - this is the core background of the third-level "list"
Newspaper censorship and public opinion war: Press freedom in the concession is "relative", slightly stronger than that in the Chinese territory, but there are still red lines. It is inevitable that Shen Qinghe's manuscript will be withdrawn
The humiliation of "Chinese and Dogs": The sign at the entrance to the Bund Park is still there - this detail is used to sting the readers, rather than simply decorating the times.
