"Mr. Chen Lei, it's better for you to come early than to come at a good time! A few minutes ago, I received a report from the Intelligence Section of our Secret Service Headquarters that they had been analyzing the photos taken for most of the night to take the fragments of the back shell of the camera, and finally traced the brand of the camera to Laika. Li Shijun, deputy director of the No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters, listened to Chen Lei, deputy director of the Special Investigation Institute (Iwai Mansion), and after hesitating for a few moments, he still did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

When Li Shijun finished answering, Chen Lei nodded and praised him: "Deputy Director Li, it seems that the progress of your investigation is not slow!" It only took half a night to investigate that the fragment of the camera's back case was from the Leica camera. ”

After a pause twice, Chen Lei suddenly changed his words and continued to speak: "Actually, late last night, through the analysis of the fragments of the back shell of the camera, I also determined that it was a Leica camera. Looks like we're all going to be together! Originally, I rushed to the secret service headquarters early this morning to report the good news to Deputy Director Li, but now there is no need for this at all! ”

In fact, on the way here, Chen Lei had already made up his mind, that is, if the secret service headquarters had not judged what brand of camera the back shell fragment of the camera was, he would not tell Ding Mocun and Li Shijun about his discovery.

At present, now that Li Shijun has learned that the fragment of the back shell of the camera is from the Laika brand camera, he naturally has nothing to hide, if he doesn't say it, it will inevitably make Li Shijun feel that he came here to talk.

Even though Chen Lei had already indicated that he had learned that it was the Leica camera last night, in Li Shijun's opinion at this time, he still seriously doubted that what Chen Lei said was true or false, and he was still suspected of clichés.

Li Shijun, who was suspicious, immediately asked Chen Lei in a tentative tone: "In this case, Li has a question he wants to ask = Mr. Chen Lei." Next, how do we continue to follow this clue? ”

Chen Lei, who was sitting on the side of the couch, although he had already thought about the next tracking plan, he did not answer immediately after Li Shijun's inquiry, but put on a thoughtful look.

"Deputy Director Li, didn't you just find out the name of the camera brand, give Mr. Chen Lei a little more time to think. Just now, you said so much to Mr. Chen Lei, everyone must be thirsty, so you quickly let someone bring in three cups of tea. Ding Mocun, the director of the No. 76 Agent Headquarters who was sitting on the other side of the couch, gave a very polite order to Li Shijun, who was sitting on Duan Du's sofa next to him, when Chen Lei was contemplative.

In front of people outside, Li Shijun still has to give Ding Mocun some face, in normal times, what Ding Mocun said is like a fart in his eyes, and he won't listen to it at all.

As soon as Ding Mocun's words fell, Ding Mocun stood up, walked to the desk not far away, picked up the phone and called the two courtesans in the hall on the first floor, and asked the two of them to bring three cups of hot tea.

After less than half a minute, the two friends brought three cups of hot tea, put them on the coffee table, came with a smile, and left with a smile.

After the two courtesans left, Chen Lei spoke: "Director Ding, Deputy Director Li, I thought about it seriously just now. I think that this Laika brand camera is not affordable for ordinary people. In addition, before joining Iwai Ichiro-kun's Special Investigation Office, I worked as a reporter for several newspapers in Shanghai, and I saw that the cameras used by the reporters of several major newspapers in Shanghai were under the brand of Laika.

"I think we might as well go in this direction and go to the major newspapers in Shanghai to track down and see which newspaper reporters are using Leica cameras. Then, in the unified investigation, which newspaper reporters attended the celebration dinner held at the Japanese Navy Club the night before. If we follow this line of thinking, we should soon be able to track down the murderer who caused the explosion. ”

After listening to Chen Lei's words, Ding Mocun, who was sitting next to him, immediately applauded and praised: "Mr. Chen Lei, you are really smart, no wonder Iwai Ichiro-kun appreciates you a lot." At a young age, at the age of 30, he was already the deputy director of the Special Investigation Institute. Your investigation idea, in Ding's opinion, might as well give it a try. ”

Seeing that Ding Mocun said this, even though Li Shijun was still suspicious of the tracking idea proposed by Chen Lei, he felt inconvenient to say it at this time, so he had to nod and agree: "Even Director Ding thinks that this tracking idea is extremely feasible, so I, Li, have nothing to say." Mr. Chen Lei, just follow your idea to investigate, and next, how do you need the cooperation and assistance of our secret service headquarters and my Li, please just give me orders. ”

After taking two sips of the teacup, Chen Lei ordered: "After giving full play to the respective strengths of our Special Investigation Institute and your secret service headquarters, I will lead the people of our Special Investigation Institute to conduct investigations in major newspapers in Shanghai to see which newspaper reporters use Leica cameras." And which newspaper reporters with Leica cameras went to the Japanese Navy Club the night before yesterday to attend a celebratory dinner.

"Director Ding and Deputy Director Li, you will take the people from the secret service headquarters to the Japanese Navy Club to learn more about the situation. Especially for the Japanese military police guarding the gate and the police sent by the Huxi Police Station, I believe that from their mouths, some valuable clues should be found. Your Secret Service Headquarters is experienced in interrogating personnel, and this is your specialty, and we at the Special Investigation Institute will not dare to overstep it. ”

After Chen Lei said the above-mentioned words of separate actions, although he was somewhat sarcastic about the secret service headquarters, Ding Mocun and Li Shijun did not dare to be angry, and could only laugh twice in embarrassment and politeness.

"Mr. Chen Lei, your division of labor is very clear, and I think it is feasible. I wonder what Deputy Director Li thinks? Ding Mocun very much agreed with Chen Lei's proposal for the division of labor just now, he was the director of the secret service headquarters, and he still wanted to ask the opinion of the deputy director Li Shijun, so he asked.

At this time, Li Shijun felt that Chen Lei had let the people from the secret service headquarters go to the Japanese Navy Club to interrogate the Japanese military police and the Huxi police guarding the gate, which was really a bit overkill, and he was more like going to the major newspapers in Shanghai to investigate which reporters were using the Leica camera.

However, Li Shijun saw that his immediate boss Ding Mocun agreed with Chen Lei's proposal for division of labor, if he stood up against it at this time, it would hurt the peace, not to mention, and the contradiction between him and Chen Lei would be further intensified.

Thinking about it so far, Li Shijun, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and put on such a top boss with his elbow turned out, and nodded unwillingly and agreed: "Okay, since Director Ding has agreed, I, the deputy director, have no reason to disagree, so I will do what Mr. Chen Lei just said, let's act separately, hoping that before it gets dark today, we can make some gains." ”
