What country and city is Chinatown Detective Agency's set of five stamps from?

In the second case in Chinatown Detective Agency, Seal of Approval, you are given a couple sets of stamps and you have to figure out where they came from. For two identical stamps, you just need to identify their country of origin. Below gives the answer to this question!

For a set of five stamps, you can get a little extra money if you find out not only the country of origin of the stamps, but also the city in which they were used. Here's how we dealt with this case.

Where are the brands from?

One of the key indicators of the country of origin of stamps is the printed inscription "FEN" in the lower right corner of each stamp. Feng is the currency denomination used in Greater China, which means you need to focus on exploring areas inside China. Through an Internet search, we found that the stamp was made in Manchuria, which was captured by Japanese troops in 1931, a year before the attack on Shanghai.

Since Shanghai is one of the gaming areas you can visit, you will want to go there and donate stamps to the Shanghai Philatelic Institute. Once you arrive there, the museum will thank you for returning the stamps and also ask if you know where they were used.

In which city were stamps used by the Chinatown Detective Agency?

As with the Tiger Lily stamp, you can see the round seal on the bottom two stamps indicating they were cancelled, but the text indicating where they were used has been cut off; all you can see is four letters: HARB. Given what we have just learned about China and Manchuria, a quick search reveals that this stamp was used in Harbin (Harbin), a city that was once part of Manchuria and is now the capital of Heilongjiang Province. Type "Harbin" into the text field when asked what city the stamps were used in and you'll get a nice bonus.
