Chapter 40: Doubts

"Mr. Chen, let me help you carry it!"

"Mr. Chen, how can I let you carry the suitcase, we should do this work."

"That's it, Mr. Chen, with such a heavy box, let's let a few brothers carry it for you."

…………

The policemen who were standing guard in front of the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion saw that Chen Lei helped Ah Xiu lift the big worn leather suitcase, and they rushed up and rushed to volunteer to help Mr. Chen carry the suitcase.

Chen Lei just took a few steps forward with this big dilapidated leather suitcase, and he really felt quite heavy, and he estimated that the weight must be at least forty or fifty pounds.

Seeing that the few Ming Inspectors who were in charge of standing guard were so enthusiastic, Chen Lei did not stop him, but handed over the big shabby leather box to a policeman who looked strong.

"Xiao Wu, just put this box at the door of the office for me." After Chen Lei handed the box to the policeman Xiao Wu, he hurriedly admonished.

Because Chen Lei had just called the box to the hands of the policeman Xiao Wu, the policeman Xiao Wu was like a treasure, and he was excited to carry the box and trot to the front and right, so he had to follow behind to give some advice.

The few policemen who didn't grab the suitcase couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because in the eyes of these policemen, if they could do Chen Lei a small favor and behave well, they would definitely not have to worry about promotions and salary increases in the future.

These policemen used to work at the Huxi Police Station in Shanghai, which was under the control of Wang's puppet government, and they had just been recruited to show the gate of the Iwai Mansion a few days ago.

They saw with their own eyes that the director of the Huxi Police Station in Shanghai had to nod his head after seeing Chen Lei, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Originally, the security work at the gate of the Iwai Mansion was in charge of the Japanese gendarmerie, and in order to adapt to the upcoming recruitment of more Chinese employees to work here, Iwai Ichiro did not want the outside world to think that the Iwai Mansion was the office of the Japanese, so he decided to recruit a platoon of more than 30 policemen from the Huxi Police Station to take charge of the guard work at the gate.

This platoon has a total of more than 30 policemen, who work in two shifts every day, one shift in the morning and one in the evening, and about 15 policemen in each shift.

Once inside the Iwai Mansion, especially in the office building, especially in the confidential department, it was still guarded by soldiers from the Japanese gendarmerie, and a total of a small group of Japanese soldiers was stationed here.

When Ah Xiu followed Chen Lei from the gate of the Iwai Mansion and walked into the first building, she found that she really did not guess wrong, this is the office of a Japanese devil, because the guards guarding the office building are all Japanese soldiers with loaded guns.

What made Ah Xiu feel incredible was that these Japanese gendarmerie soldiers guarding the office building would salute him with great respect after seeing Chen Lei.

Moreover, Chen Lei can also speak Japanese, and when he sees these Japanese military police soldiers, he will also say two words of Japanese to greet them.

Seeing this scene, Ah Xiu had a bad idea in her heart, that is, whether the Mr. Chen she originally admired was a Japanese, so if she would follow Mr. Chen to do things here in the future, would she be doing things with the Japanese, which she was extremely repulsed by in her heart.

Soon, Ah Xiu followed Chen Lei to the door of an office on the third floor of Building A, and at the door was her big dilapidated leather suitcase, but the policeman Xiao Wu was missing.

"Mr. Chen, is this room your office?" Ah Xiu, who was standing in front of the door and stopped, asked Chen Lei, who lifted the box to the side, in a tentative tone.

Chen Lei lifted the box with one hand, took out the key with the other hand and opened the office door, replied with a smile: "Yes, this room is my office, what are you still doing in a daze, come in." ”

After hesitating for a while, Ah Xiu followed Chen Lei's steps into the office, she looked at the layout around the room very curiously, and suddenly, the family showed a surprised expression.

At this moment, in Ah Xiu's opinion, this Mr. Chen must have a different identity, and the big office he owns is larger than the factory office of her father back then, and the furniture furnishings are even more luxurious.

Chen ...... Mr. Chen, I ...... I took the liberty of asking...... Excuse me, ...... Are you Japanese? Ah Xiu really couldn't hide his curiosity, and couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

After listening to Ah Xiu's question, Chen Lei, who had just put the box next to the desk, immediately smiled dumbly and asked, "Ah Xiu, why did you ask me this question?" ”

In the face of Chen Lei's rhetorical question, Ah Xiu did not hide it, but replied one by one: "Mr. Chen, to be honest, the name of this Iwai Mansion seems to have been opened by the Japanese, and there are traitor police guards at the gate, and there are Japanese soldiers guarding the building. Whether it is a traitor policeman or a Japanese soldier, they are all respectful after seeing you. Also, you can speak Japanese. Place...... So ......"

"So, you suspect that either I'm a Japanese, or I'm just working in Japanese, and like those traitor policemen, I betray my country to seek glory, right?" Chen Lei saw that Ah Xiu didn't dare to draw conclusions in the end, so he preemptively helped Ah Xiu say the questions buried in his heart.

After seeing that his heart was seen through by Chen Lei, Ah Xiu lowered his head slightly, first nodded slightly, and then, feeling that something seemed to be wrong, he shook his head slightly.

"Ah Xiu, do you think that as long as he can speak Japanese, then he must be Japanese?" Chen Lei saw that Ah Xiu was like a frightened bird, so he continued to inquire in a light tone.

Ah Xiu, who was standing in place, did not speak, but thought for a few seconds, and then shook his head twice.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lei asked again: "Also, Ah Xiu, do you think that the person who is doing things for the Japanese must be a traitor who betrays the country and seeks glory?" ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Ah Xiu struggled painfully in his heart, but still shook his head lightly.

Seeing that Ah Xiu shook his head in response to his two questions just now, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Lei's mouth, and he said lightly: "Isn't that the end, Ah Xiu, since you think it's not, then I'm definitely not what you imagined." ”

In this compartment, Chen Lei had just finished speaking, and in the other compartment, on the desk about five or six meters away from him, which of the three telephones on the far right of the line immediately rang "Jingle bell...... Ringing rings ......".

Chen Lei, who walked to the desk, immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hey." Yes, I am. Okay, I'll be right over, about fifteen minutes or so. Okay, see you later. ”
