There is again more information on this film. I've translated the plot more accurately now, I believe.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
(In short, it reminds me of a plot from Colombo!)

The wealthy man Cima Ming clearly is attracted to his live-in sister-in-law Liu Manling, but with his wife, Manna, there is a falling out. Ming’s great friend, the great Detective Charlie Chan, advises Ming and Manna to go to the villa of Xiao Zhu, to help the couple rescue their feelings for one another. Ming deliberately injures Manna, thereupon in disarray says farewell to Shang Yao to handle company business. Manna decides to drive to the villa to wait for him in advance. At that time, Manna goes to look for Charlie. Charlie gives Manna one white chrysanthemum, wishing the husband and wife will live together harmoniously. Manna continues to drive to go to the villa, but Cima Ming ambushes her first, blocking the car in the road, and again strangling Manna. He then pushes the car with the body inside down the hill. Charlie Chan learns that Manna is missing, thereupon the company understands that a case has been reported to the police department. At the time when Ming signalled police, one white chrysanthemum was in her overcoat, therefore the suspicion is put on Charlie, suggesting that he is the actual murderer. Charlie deliberately lets Ming hold the misconception that Manna is still alive, causing him to visit the car at the scene of the murder. Then a group of police arrive to take him into custody.
The great detective Charlie Chan meets a wealthy member of the gentry, Guangzhou You, and investigates the riddle of the suicide of his elder brother, Guangcai You, who jumped from a building. Charlie, in the company of daughter Meina, is given broad latitude to investigate, but only at this point begin the real murders of the villains. Charlie suspects the wealthy businessman, Wu Huaide, so dispatches Meina on a secret investigation. Meina tracks Huaide’s female secretary, Dong Lizhu, to the train station, and sees her handing over a leather suitcase to a mysterious man. Charlie and Meina trace this to a wooden shack in the suburbs. Seizing the leather suitcase, they find it full of counterfeit money. To defeat Huaide’s plot, a plan is offered to the police — the backroom of the counterfeit money group secretly protects its leader, so whoever knows the group’s leader can unexpectedly to make first move and get control. To get Huaide to return to the nest of thieves now, Meina gets on Lizhu's trail to follow her back to the criminals’ hideout. She is captured by a henchman and taken into the cellar, but fortunately Charlie arrives in the nick of time. It is disclosed that the primary brain behind the operation is the banking tycoon Jin-Yibai Chuan. However, the police also arrive at the counterfeit money group hideout and catch the whole lot in a dragnet. Yibai Chuan and Huaide die under the bullet.

And here's the last one. Again, very little info online, but the title confirms that this is a Charlie Chan film to be sure.
