After listening to what Li Shijun who was sitting opposite him, Chen Lei immediately realized that Li Shijun had just drunk three drinks in a row with Ah Xiu, who was too strong to drink, and the purpose was to get Ah Xiu drunk, and then the two of them would talk about things again.

After a pause, Chen Lei raised the wine cup full of sake, and said to Li Shijun, who was sitting opposite him: "Deputy Director Li, you just drank three in a row with my secretary Ah Xiu, next, it's time for us, right?" Come, Deputy Director Li, let's do three in a row! ”

Regarding Chen Lei's proposal, Li Shijun, who had already drunk six cups of sake in a row just now, became a little drunk, and he declined politely without hesitation: "Mr. Chen, let's not drink so urgently!" Let's not just drink alcohol, but also try the Japanese food here, I heard that it is very delicious. I don't visit this place very often, so I have to fill my stomach first. When we've eaten something, it's not too late for us to drink! ”

After saying that, Li Shijun immediately stretched out his left hand as if no one was around, picked up a piece of sashimi from the plate in front of him, dipped it in the prepared sauce, and ate it in a big gulp.

Chen Lei, who had just lifted the wine cup, was put aside, and then he immediately put it back on the low table, although he had studied in Tokyo, Japan for many years, but he has always been not very interested in Japanese food, more often, he still likes to eat Chinese food very much.

At that time, in the huge Tokyo, there were still many Chinese living in Japan who opened some Chinese restaurants, Chen Lei, who was a work-studyer, occasionally went to have a tooth sacrifice, and more often, he used Iwai Ichiro's sister Iwai Masami to cook some simple Chinese food for him, especially noodles, such as noodles, dumplings, buns, steamed buns, etc.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Lei saw Li Shijun sitting opposite him, and after a while, he ate more than half of the sashimi on the plate on the low table, but he had no appetite for it, just ate a few bites of rice balls.

"Deputy Director Li, you should have eaten a lot now. Let's stop eating and drink a few sips of sake, right? When I used to study in Japan, Japanese people used to eat sashimi with a mouthful of sashimi, so how can you just eat sashimi? After eating a few bites of rice balls, Chen Lei proposed again.

Li Shijun, who had eaten more than half of the sashimi on a plate, had studied in the Soviet Union and had never been to Japan when he was an underground party member in the early days, so he naturally had no idea about how people in Japan ate sashimi and drank sake.

At this time, Li Shijun heard Chen Lei, who was sitting opposite him, say this, and immediately believed it, so he raised the wine cup and drank three wine cups of sake with Chen Lei in a row, which came to an end.

After the nine cups of sake, Li Shijun was a little drunk, and he hurriedly took some Japanese food on the low table, wanting to relieve the drunkenness that was gradually coming up, because he had important things to talk about with Chen Lei next.

After eating for about three or five minutes, Li Shijun, who was already a little drunk, stopped, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, we have almost eaten this dinner, it's time to talk about serious things." Since you left the secret service headquarters this morning, I hastened to the Japanese Navy Club building with some people to learn about the situation of a squad of police officers dispatched by the Huxi Police Station, which guards the lobby on the first floor, as well as several Japanese gendarmerie soldiers, and Miss Keiko, the head of the Kabuki here.

"By talking to them, there were really important discoveries. At the moment, I have zeroed in on one of the suspects. This person is most likely the person responsible for the bombing. No, to be exact, one of the murderers. I wonder how Mr. Chen's investigation of the reporters of the major newspapers in Shanghai is progressing? Let's hear it. ”

Chen Lei, who had already put down his chopsticks, immediately breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Li Shijun's words, and felt that nine times out of ten he had found some clues and even definite evidence that Sun Chenglin pretended to be a reporter and mixed into the dinner party with an invitation card that he had manipulated.

Thinking of this, Chen Lei felt that he was fortunate that after leaving the No. 76 agent headquarters this morning, he went straight to the Haokelai noodle shop, and quickly arranged for Sun Chenglin to take a flight to Hong Kong, transfer from Hong Kong to Shancheng, and reported the matter to Liu Jianren's modern clothing store to Shancheng.

In the face of Li Shijun's inquiry, Chen Lei thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Deputy Director Li, the progress on my side is also very fast, according to the fact that after I left your secret service headquarters this morning, I visited and investigated a number of large newspapers in Shanghai, and I also found that one of the reporters who used the Leica camera was very suspicious.

"And, as far as I know, this person was in the lobby of the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club on the night of the bombing of the munitions depot at the headquarters of the Japanese Navy. Now, I have not only physical evidence but also human witnesses on hand, all of which can prove that this person is very suspicious. It can be said unceremoniously that the suspect I found is probably more suspicious than the so-called suspect discovered by Deputy Director Li. ”

Hearing Chen Lei say this, Li Shijun immediately became a little unhappy, and he said not to be outdone: "Mr. Chen, your conclusion is a little early, right?" Since Mr. Chen is so confident, let's take out the relevant information and evidence of the suspects we are looking for and compare them to see who is more suspicious. Anyway, there are only two people in this room now, you and me. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shijun took out an invitation card for the dinner that day from his body and put it in the spare place on his side of the low table, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and said proudly: "Mr. Chen, Li has been busy here for almost a day, although he only found a clue, it is indeed very valuable. Don't look at this as just an invitation to the dinner that night, this is the suspect. ”

Seeing Li Shijun's villainous appearance, Chen Lei naturally had no reason not to extinguish his prestige, so he immediately took out a booklet and a photo, and said in a light tone: "Deputy Director Li, I have two pieces of physical evidence here, one more than yours."

"Moreover, I have a certificate that proves that this person is the biggest suspect in blowing up the arms depot of the Japanese Navy Command. With all due respect, you just have an invitation to the dinner that day, and a lot of the time it doesn't mean anything. ”

After being provoked by Chen Lei, Li Shijun was a little uneasy, and he asked in a curious tone: "Mr. Chen, who is this witness you are talking about?" Can you tell me about his name and personal information? I really want to meet this master and see what he comes from. ”

Hearing Li Shijun say this, Chen Lei immediately smiled at me, and replied casually: "This person, not only do I know, but you also know Deputy Director Li. He previously served as the stationmaster of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and his name was ......"

Without waiting for Chen Lei to finish speaking, Li Shijun, who was listening attentively, immediately interrupted his words, and answered first with some emotion, and spit out three words from his mouth: "Wang Tianmu." ”
