***SPOILER*** Question About the Numbers ***SPOILER***


I like this movie and a spy movie done Fritz Lang style is a good mix in my opinion. I do have a question though about the serial numbers on the bank notes. When they discovered that there were two different numbers, how did that reveal to 326 and his boss that Haghi was at the circus? I didn't understand that revelation.

Thank you.

Nemo (Haghi) was also a spy for the government. Apparently, Nemo gave 326 and the boss fake info about the bank note serial numbers - when he was in the boss' office and switched telegrams. When it was discovered that the telegram that 326 sent didn't match the telegram that the boss had, they must have deduced that Nemo switched them, although it could have been a telegraph operator.
