In the innermost private room in the corridor on the second floor of the Japanese Navy Club Building on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area of Shanghai, in front of Ah Xiu, who was drunk and sleeping on a low table, Chen Lei and Li Shijun, after each taking out the evidence, made a brief exchange about the murderer who was identified by themselves.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Lei and Li Shijun were separated from the Japanese Navy Club, because Ah Xiu had not yet sobered up, and continued to lie on the low table and was drunk, Chen Lei walked Li Shijun to the door of the hall on the first floor, and after watching Li Shijun get into the black car of the secret service headquarters and leave, he turned around and returned to the hall on the first floor.

However, Chen Lei did not go straight to the private room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, but walked to the counter on the inside of the hall door on the first floor, first glanced at which phone was placed on the counter, and then shifted his gaze to Keiko, the Japanese kabuki foreman who was sitting at the counter, and then smiled slightly and asked, "Miss Keiko, can I borrow a phone call?" ”

Regarding Chen Lei's request, Keiko did not immediately agree, but asked: "Mr. Chen, of course you can borrow a phone." But you'll have to tell me who you're calling. I need to sit on the phone to record the contact, this is the request of the senior above, and please Mr. Chen can understand. ”

In Chen Lei's opinion at this time, looking at the huge whole of Shanghai, all the registered telephones, every contact record is registered by the telephone bureau, if you want to check the telephone contact records, go directly to the telephone bureau in Shanghai, Keiko does this, it is simply redundant.

Anyway, in Chen Lei's opinion at this time, there was nothing unpleasant for him to make this call, and naturally there was nothing to hide from Keiko, so it didn't hurt to tell her.

"Miss Keiko, I'm going to the Special Investigation Office (Iwai Mansion), and I have an extremely difficult matter to deal with, so I have to make this call right away. If there is a delay, I am afraid the consequences will be very important. While telling Keiko where he was going to call, Chen Lei also explained the urgency and importance of the call.

While Chen Lei was speaking, Keiko, who was sitting at the counter, was naturally not idle, and she registered everything Chen Lei said just now in the case for the chief above to come to inquire.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, you can call now!" After Keiko finished registering, she made a "please" gesture to Chen Lei, who was sitting in front of the counter, and said very politely.

Saying that it was too late, Chen Lei quickly picked up the phone, first dialed the telephone bureau in Shanghai, and said to the operator: "Hello, I am here from the Japanese Navy Club, please help me connect to the switchboard of the Iwai Mansion on Baoshan Road, thank you!" ”

While waiting for the operator to answer the phone, Chen Lei said to Keiko, who was sitting at the counter, with some embarrassment: "Miss Keiko, I'm sorry, I'll wait for the content of the call with the Special Investigation Institute to be confidential, and I hope that Miss Keiko can make it convenient and wait next to you for a while." ”

Although Keiko is the kabuki foreman of the Japanese Navy Club, she has heard about the Special Investigation Institute, a somewhat mysterious Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai, in recent days.

After calming down, Keiko obediently got up and left: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'm tired of sitting here anyway, just take this opportunity to go around elsewhere, you don't have to worry, just play slowly." ”

When Keiko just left the counter with his front foot, Chen Lei's back foot was connected to the switchboard of Iwai Mansion, and he heard the voice of the switchboard operator: "Hello, this is Iwai Mansion, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Miss Cheng, I'm Chen Lei, please help me connect to the phone number of Captain Zheng's office of the action team, I have something important to find him." Chen Lei immediately gave instructions to Cheng Lulu, the operator of the switchboard of the Iwai Mansion.

After learning that the person on the other end of the phone was Chen Lei, the No. 2 person in the Iwai Mansion, Cheng Lulu didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and said very respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, I will connect the phone number of Captain Zheng's office for you." ”

In less than five seconds, Chen Lei heard Captain Zheng's voice on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen, I am Zheng Kai, if you have any important things, I Zheng Kai will obey your dispatch at any time, Mr. Chen." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lei ordered: "Captain Zheng, now, I order you to immediately select a few people from the action team who have good hands, go to the Kangda apartment on Changle Road in the French Concession, and arrest and escort the people who live in room 516 to the interrogation room of our special investigation center, and I will personally interrogate him."

The man's name was Han Kun, in his early thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, tall, thin, white and clean. Whatever method you use, I will be waiting for your news in the Special Investigation Unit before twelve o'clock tonight, and I will see the dead or the dead. Of course, even if you have to get it back alive, you know? ”

After Chen Avocado finished giving his order, he heard Captain Zheng on the other end of the short sentence, and replied categorically: "Understand, Mr. Chen, I will do what you instruct, and you will wait for the good news from your subordinates in the office of the Special Investigation Institute!" ”

Coincidentally, when he was very tired, as soon as he hung up the phone with his front foot, Keiko's back foot appeared in front of him, and he walked from the direction of the door outside, which did not attract Chen Lei's attention.

"Mr. Chen, are you done calling?" Keiko, who was sitting back on the chair at the counter, looked at Chen Lei, who was standing in front of the counter, and asked knowingly with a smile on her face.

Chen Lei thought that the drunk Ah Xiu was still sleeping on the low table in the private room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and he immediately said goodbye to Keiko: "Miss Keiko, you came over just after I called, just right, I say goodbye to you." ”

Just as Chen Lei turned around and was about to step away, he heard Keiko's voice behind him: "Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry to leave first, settle the account for today's dinner, a total of three hundred and sixty-five yuan." For the sake of you being a distinguished guest of our Japan Navy Club, we will give you a discount, erase the odds, and you can give three hundred yuan. ”

As soon as Keiko's words fell, Chen Lei immediately turned around, took out four fiat currencies with a face value of 100 yuan, put them on the counter, and said generously: "Miss Keiko, you don't have to give me a discount, I can still afford the three hundred and sixty-five yuan." Here is 400 yuan, you don't have to change, the rest of the money is a tip. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Lei walked away without looking back.
