Since the Iwai Mansion and the Japanese Navy Club are on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area of Shanghai Beach, which is not more than a kilometer apart, Chen Lei hung up Ding Mocun's phone and left the Iwai Mansion and walked to the Japanese Navy Club Building, waiting for the arrival of personnel from the No. 76 Secret Service Headquarters.

The headquarters of the agents of Wang's puppet government, located at No. 76 Jisfeier Road in the Huxi area of Shanghai, would take about half an hour to get there by car.

After entering the hall on the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club, Chen Lei took a look and saw Yuriko, a young Japanese girl, located in the counter on the right side of the entrance of the hall, so he nodded slightly to say hello.

Then, Chen Lei found a seat in the hall on the first floor and sat down, and a young waitress wearing a kimono walked up and bowed slightly, and asked, "This gentleman, may I ask, what do you drink?" ”

This Japanese naval club, located on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area of Shanghai, is not open to outsiders, and is only open to Japanese soldiers stationed in Shanghai, or Japanese expatriates living in Shanghai, as well as officials of institutions stationed in China, as well as important officials in Wang's puppet government.

Since Chen Lei had been staying at the Japanese Navy Club until nearly 10 o'clock in the evening since yesterday afternoon, and he often stayed with Taro Tano, commander of the Japanese Navy in Shanghai, Dohi Yuan and Kagesa, Japan's two major intelligence chiefs in China, and Iwai Ichiro, Japan's deputy consul general in Shanghai, it is natural that the staff of the Japanese Navy Club have already remembered Chen Lei.

Just now, Chen Lei walked to the door of the building of the Japanese Navy Club and was about to take out his documents to show to the two Japanese gendarmerie soldiers standing guard, when the two Japanese gendarmerie soldiers made a "please" gesture at him without checking his documents.

In this way, Chen Lei entered the Japanese Navy Club in a swaggering courtesy manner without taking out his personal identity documents, and even he himself felt a little surprised.

Anyone who can enter the Japanese Navy Club, these waitresses from the Japanese mainland, will consider them to be honored guests, and even if they do not know their names, they must be polite to them.

Glancing at the sixteen-year-old Japanese girl standing in front of him, Chen Lei bowed his head slightly, smiled and said, "Then please make me a pot of tea." ”

After listening to Chen Lei's instructions, the young Japanese waitress bowed slightly, then turned around and left, bringing a pot of tea and a teacup without much effort.

"Sir, this is the tea you ordered, please use it slowly." The young Japanese waitress, after putting the teapot and teacup on the table in front of Chen Lei, bowed slightly and said softly.

Chen Lei nodded slightly in response, then bowed his head as if no one was around, picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea, just as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, he found that the young Japanese waitress who brought the tea just now did not leave, but kept standing in front of his table.

So, Chen Lei put down the teacup and looked at the young Japanese girl standing in front of the table with suspicious eyes, as if to say: There is no business for you here, why don't you leave.

"Sir, do you have anything else to command?" The young Japanese waitress seemed to understand the meaning expressed in Chen Lei's eyes, so she continued to inquire very politely.

Until this time, Chen Lei immediately replied: "There is nothing to do, you go and get busy with yours, I will sit here and wait for a few people." ”

When Chen Lei finished speaking, the young Japanese waitress bowed slightly to him again, and then turned to leave and disappeared from his sight.

In addition, this is the second time that Chen Lei has entered the Japanese Navy Club, although he has a very close personal relationship with Ichiro Iwai, since the time of studying in Japan, the two have been classmates and tablemates, and have become good friends who talk about everything.

However, after Chen Lei returned to Shanghai after studying abroad, there was no contact with Iwai Ichiro for two years, and it was not until about a year ago that Iwai Ichiro accepted the assignment of the Japanese base camp to serve as the deputy consul general in Shanghai, and the two of them "rebuilt their old friendship".

Before Iwai Ichiro was founded, Chen Lei worked more as a reporter at a newspaper in the Shanghai Tang Public Concession, and had occasional contact with Iwai Ichiro, becoming his assistant and serving as the deputy director of the Special Investigation Institute, which was only a little more than a month.

Before this, Chen Lei naturally had no chance to enter the Japanese Navy Club, and he naturally did not understand the rules of entering the Japanese Navy Club.

Just now, the conversation scene between Chen Lei and the young Japanese waitress was all in full view of Yuriko sitting at the counter on the right side of the entrance of the hall.

No, as soon as the young Japanese waitress left with her front foot, Yuriko's back foot appeared in front of Chen Lei, which was different from the politeness of the young Japanese waitress when she treated Chen Lei, Yuriko couldn't help but sit opposite Chen Lei, and there was a table between the two people.

"Yuriko-san, do you have something to do with me?" After Chen Lei saw Yuriko sitting opposite him, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Yuriko sitting down, he didn't speak, but the sow stared at him quietly, and saw that he was a little hairy in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask.

Yuriko is not only the cashier at the counter in the lobby on the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club, but also manages dozens of Japanese waitresses working here.

After listening to Chen Lei's inquiry, Yuriko first smiled slightly, and then said angrily: "Chen Leijun, although you are a friend of Commander Tianye, Major General Dohi Yuan and Kagezo Daisa, as well as Iwai Ichiro-kun, you can't treat our waiters here like this. Since you're in here, you have to follow the rules here. ”

Chen Lei, who had just drunk two sips of tea, heard that Yuriko came up and scolded himself with a slap in the face, feeling that he was simply more wronged than Dou E.

After Chen Lei thought about it for a while, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the conversation between him and the young Japanese waitress just now, and he did not have any frivolity or ill intentions towards the young Japanese waitress.

After recalling, Chen Lei asked puzzledly: "Miss Yuriko, my attitude towards that waitress just now is not inappropriate, I don't know why you asked the teacher to ask for sin?" ”

Seeing Chen Lei's aggrieved look, Yuriko felt that Chen Lei was deliberately pretending not to know, because all the guests who came to the Japanese Navy Club knew the rules here, and now, the Chen Lei he met actually asked knowingly, which was really hateful.

Yuriko, who was already a little annoyed, immediately stood up and left in front of Chen Lei, and after a while, she reappeared in front of Chen Lei with the young Japanese waitress just now.

"Keiko, don't be afraid, my sister will support you. You say, did he just bully? After Yuriko glanced at Keiko who was standing next to him, she pointed at Chen Lei again and asked Keiko.

The young Japanese waitress named Keiko, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, was a little frightened in the face of Yuriko's questioning, so she lowered her head.

Seeing Keiko, who was a little timid by nature, she first nodded slightly, and then quickly shook her head, because she didn't know what Yuriko meant by "bullying".

For Keiko's performance, Yuriko hates iron but not steel, she thinks that now don't go around, just talk to Chen Lei directly, just open the skylight and say bright things.

Yuriko, who was a little angry, immediately pointed out to Chen Lei, who was sitting in the chair, and scolded loudly: "Chen Leijun, let me ask you, just now, you accepted Keiko's service, why didn't you tip Keiko?" According to the rules of our Japan Navy Club, if you accept any service from our waitress, you must give the waiter a tip as a thank you after receiving the service.

"Just now, I saw with my own eyes that Keiko made you a pot of tea, but you didn't tip Keiko. Isn't this that you're bullying Keiko? Chen Leijun, if you are not willing to tip our waiters here, then please don't come here again in the future. Although we can't stop you from coming in, I can tell you unmistakably that you are not welcome! ”

Chen Lei, who was still confused just now, finally understood that just now Yuriko said that he bullied Keiko, it turned out that it was just because he didn't tip Keiko.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Chen Lei, because this is the second time he has come to the Japanese Navy Club yesterday, and before that, he has not heard anyone say that he still needs to tip the waitress here, as the so-called ignorant is not guilty.

As soon as Yuriko's voice fell, Chen Lei didn't say a word, and immediately took out a small stack of fiat money from his jacket pocket, put it on the table in front of him, put on a generous look, and said slightly apologetically: "Miss Yuriko, Miss Keiko, this money should be enough for consumption, right?" You both take it, I'm really sorry for what just happened. ”

The small stack of fiat currency that Chen Lei put on the table should be as many as a dozen, and each fiat currency is ten yuan, although the fiat currency at that time was somewhat depreciated, Chen Lei took out a total of more than 100 yuan of fiat currency as a tip, in the eyes of Yuriko and Keiko, it is naturally a generous master.

Seeing that Chen Lei was so generous, Yuriko also said a heavy word to Chen Lei just now, at this time, he turned from anger to joy, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Chen Leijun gave a tip for the first time, and he was so generous, it seems that just now, I, well, I misunderstood you!" I take back what I just said, Chen Leijun, if you come here again in the future, we will all warmly welcome you. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuriko took the small stack of ten-yuan fiat currency that Chen Lei had placed on the table.

However, Yuriko didn't ask for a single one, but gave all of them to Keiko, who was standing next to her, and admonished: "Keiko, look, Chen Leijun gave you so much fiat currency as a tip at once, why don't you hurry up and say thank you to Chen Leijun." ”

After getting the small stack of fiat currency, Keiko bowed deeply to Chen Lei, who was sitting in the chair, and then thanked him softly: "Chen Leijun, thank you for the tip." ”

After Yuriko sent Keiko away, he exchanged a few more words with Chen Lei, and when he saw that there were other guests coming, he said goodbye to Chen Lei, returned to the counter on the right side of the entrance of the hall, and greeted the guests who came in.

After watching Yuriko leave, Chen Lei drank two more cups of tea, he looked around, and the Japanese Navy Headquarters' munitions warehouse across the wall was bombed, and it was only one night, and the hall on the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club was actually rearranged again, which can be described as a new look.

If you hadn't been here last night, I'm afraid it would have been hard to imagine that the hall on the first floor of this day would have been renovated as if it had been renovated, and it would have been amazing how well and quickly Japan's logistical support work had been done.

After sitting for about fifteen minutes, Chen Lei drank all the tea, and then waited for the personnel sent by Ding Mo Village to assist him, but what Chen Lei never expected was that Ding Mo Village actually sent Li Shijun to lead a team to assist him in the on-site investigation.

"Mr. Chen Lei, let's meet again. This time, Director Ding told me that you need someone from the Secret Service Headquarters to help, but I volunteered to take the initiative to lead two capable officers from the Intelligence Bureau and two Operations Officers to be at your disposal, Mr. Chen Lei. ”

If Chen Lei does not hold a grudge against Li Shijun for torturing him to extract a confession in the headquarters of agent No. 76, it must be false, and he is simply itching with hatred, but at this time, he had to work with Li Shijun to investigate the cause of the explosion.

Chen Lei, who stood up, smiled at Li Shijun, who came closer, and pretended to be polite: "Deputy Director Li, I really didn't expect that you would go out in person, and bring four capable generals to assist me. ”

After Chen Lei and Li Shijun met, they exchanged a few words of greetings, and the six of them left the hall on the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club, turned to the north courtyard, and went straight to the cherry blossom forest in the northeast corner that had been blown to char.

Although after a night's time, the building of the Japanese Navy Club was re-cleaned and almost restored to its original appearance, the crime scene in the northeast corner of the courtyard was not cleaned up and dealt with.

Perhaps it was because Taro Tano, the headquarters of the Japanese Navy, ordered the site of the explosion to be preserved last night, so no one cleaned up the place, including the broken courtyard wall between the Japanese Navy Club and the Japanese Navy Command, which is still there.

Before they went to the scene of the explosion of the munitions depot on the other side of the courtyard wall, on the side of the cherry blossom forest, they had only investigated the scene for less than half an hour, and Sun Jie, a member of the intelligence section of the secret service headquarters who followed Li Shijun, made a major discovery and immediately reported it to Li Shijun and Chen Lei.

After listening to Sun Jie's report and the thing he was holding in his hand, Chen Lei immediately felt half cold, and felt that if he had known this, he should not have stayed in the lobby of the Japanese Navy Club Building just now to drink any tea, not only lost more than 100 yuan of legal currency, but also made him a little anxious now, but should have conducted a field survey in the cherry blossom forest before Li Shijun led the personnel of the secret service headquarters.

What made Chen Lei feel distressed was that he originally thought that the explosion of the arms depot planned yesterday was seamless, but now it seems that this small loophole that appeared was grasped by the people at the secret service headquarters.
