Looking at the angry Ran Jie and Cao Dalong, Zhu Yu was not surprised.
If there is anyone in this world who still retains the deepest memory of this incident and the deepest hatred for this race, it is only Ran Jie and his predecessors.
There is no doubt about this.
So in fact, Zhu Yu was not worried at all. He estimated that the two in front of him, plus Qin Fei.
Even if the three of them are going to get married soon, when they hear this, they will probably choose to postpone the wedding as soon as possible, and then follow up to complete this matter on their own.
There is really no way to change the things you have been taught in your bones.
Some would even say this is the factory setting. Zhu Yu didn't know if it was a factory setting, but he knew that Ran Jie and the other two would do their best to handle this matter, even risking their lives.
"Okay, no need to scold. Let's go over there and get rid of the Blood and Soil Guanyin and raise the ashes. You can also relieve your anger. If you don't have time to scold, why not check more information and think about how to plan it? Things get done.”
When Zhu Yu said this, Ran Jie and Cao Dalong calmed down.
"Then boss, let's not waste time here." Cao Dalong rarely smiled playfully and said to Zhu Yu, "This matter is basically left to us. Don't worry, Captain Ran will take us and definitely handle this matter. You have to look pretty!”
Ran Jie also answered and said:
"Boss, actually you don't even have to go. The two of us will notify Qin Fei then, and the three of us can basically get it done."
Zhu Yu knew that Ran Jie was afraid that he would be in danger if he passed by. He shook his head and said:
"I have to go. I'm afraid you'll make big news - if you can't control your emotions, you'll be in real trouble."
Ran Jie and Cao Dalong looked at each other and said nothing.
After leaving, Zhu Yu thought about it and called Qin Fei again.
Sure enough, Qin Fei said he would come back immediately, but Zhu Yu dissuaded him and asked him to do his own business first, then wait in Shenghai and plan how to set off.
After settling this matter, Zhu Yu felt a lot more relaxed.
Sure enough, if you transfer the pressure to a few more people, you will feel much more relaxed.
Zhu Yu didn't even plan to do it anymore. He believed that with the abilities of Ran Jie and Cao Dalong, there would be no problem in completing such a plan.
It might even be better than what you planned.
Over there, Ran Jie and Cao Dalong were planning this matter intensively.
"The specific location is on Mount Izu in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture, next to Tokyo City." Cao Dalong searched for information, while Ran Jie held up a map and marked it.
"According to the picture, the Guanyin statue is standing on a stone platform. The statue is two meters high. Visual inspection shows that the base is two to three meters above the ground."
"There are not many tourists in the temple, but the specific security strength is unknown."
"According to the information found, after the Class-A war criminals Matsui Iwane and others were hanged, the three main culprits who stole their ashes were Shohei Sanmonji who served as a defense lawyer for Class-A war criminals, and Ikuma Ichikawa, an abbot of a temple near the crematorium. and Miyoshi Tobita, the person in charge of the crematorium.
The three of them cooperated internally and externally, with a clear division of labor. The abbot of the temple used an excuse to offer salvation to the deceased and divert the attention of the US military guards; the director of the crematorium secretly put the ashes into a container and handed them to the waiting lawyer Sanmonji Shohei through an unnoticed small door. , and then the lawyer handed the ashes to the families of several war criminals.
The three people stole the ashes perfectly, and it was difficult to tell the authenticity of the ashes. The next day, the U.S. military went to the Pacific to scatter the ashes as scheduled, but it was not clear whose ashes they were throwing. "
"On May 3, 1949, the widows and family members of several war criminals drove the ashes to the "Koya Kannon Temple" in Mount Izu and gave them to the abbot of the temple, Itami, for secret storage.
It was just that the temple did not dare to blatantly erect monuments for several war criminals at that time. It was not until 1951, after the signing of the "San Francisco Treaty" symbolizing peace between the United States and Japan, that Xingya Guanyin Temple added a "Seven Scholars Monument", and Matsui was buried underneath. Part of the ashes of seven Class-A war criminals including Shi Gen.
In 1960, lawyer Sanmonji Shohei buried the rest of the ashes of the seven people on Mt. Sangen, 150 kilometers away from Nagoya, and named the tomb the "Tomb of the Seven Martyred Soldiers." "
After checking this, Cao Dalong suddenly frowned:
"No, the information here shows that in 2021, the Kōya Kannon-in Temple in Matsui Iwane was razed to the ground by a flood caused by heavy rains, and the Blood and Earth Avalokitesvara and the Monument of the Seven Scholars completely disappeared. So what are we looking for? "
Ran Jie frowned when he saw this piece of information, but then he said:
"Things shouldn't be that simple. I think since there is an investigation report from the boss, this matter cannot disappear so easily. Let's make a plan first and check it out when we get to the place.
The geese passing by left a sound, but how could something so big really disappear? If someone ruined it with good intentions, that would be for the best. If those remnants secretly enshrined these things, then..."
Ran Jie's brows raised:
"Then let's not be polite!"
Cao Dalong nodded:
"Yes, I understand."
He continued to check information, and Ran Jie began to make supplementary plans.
Zhu Yu was also a little surprised when he received Ran Jie's call.
This Blood and Earth Guanyin has disappeared?
He thought the same as Ran Jie, could it be a conspiracy?
He checked the information himself and found that it was indeed said that due to a heavy rain a few years ago, the Xingya Guanyin Temple where the Blood and Earth Guanyin was located was washed away, leaving nothing behind.
real or fake?
Ran Jie's advice to Zhu Yu was to go and have a look before talking. It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
If it is really destroyed, then the matter will be clean.
But if it wasn’t washed away and the heavy rain was just a hindrance, then this matter needs to be investigated carefully!
Zhu Yu agreed to Ran Jie's plan.
Because of this, Zhu Yu felt that he needed to go over.
Maybe my own heavenly eyes can see nothing.
Half a month later, Zhu Yu flew to Shenghai.
Ran Jie and Cao Dalong flew over from Ran Jie's home.
Qin Fei is already in Shenghai.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that Cao Dalong really didn't go home - maybe that home really made him sad.
In a hotel suite in Shenghai, Ran Jie told others about his plan:
"We will take flights to Tokyo in batches. This matter may not seem like much at present, but it may have huge consequences. So from the beginning, we must be careful."
Everyone agrees on this. After all, since the other party can enshrine the ashes of seven Class-A war criminals and also enshrine the tablets of thousands of Class-B war criminals, there will definitely be a lot of attention.
"Okay, let's split up the flights and enter the country within three days, and then meet up somewhere in Tokyo."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ran Jie continued:
"Next, we need to work separately. We need to carry out investigations and on-site inspections. Since we don't speak Japanese, we need to directly hire two Japanese tour guides. I suggest choosing international students in Japan, which has a smaller goal, and because it is The Chinese people will most likely help us."
No one objects to this at all.
"Okay, let's divide into two groups. The boss and I will be in one group, and Qin Fei and Dalong will be in one group. The two of us will conduct on-site investigation, and you two will go around to discuss and search for information."
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong both nodded in agreement.
The matter was basically settled like this, and after discussing the specific details, the four of them separated and planned to take a flight to Tokyo.
The reason why Yang Zhigang was not used was because after the last incident, Zhu Yu was quite famous in the Japanese country. If the special plane went over again this time and was discovered by someone who was interested, it would be difficult to clean up the whole thing.
Zhu Yu now has the idea to create a few more identities for himself, but he doesn't know if it will be easy or not.
After he and Ran Jie arrived in Tokyo by plane, they checked into the hotel.
"Boss, I'm going to find a tour guide. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, I'll dress up. I'm afraid it will be troublesome to be recognized."
Zhu Yu was not joking. It is really possible for a person like him to be recognized if he meets a caring person.
There are many universities in Tokyo. Soon after Ran Jie left, he found a suitable tour guide—Qiao Yingjie, a female college student from Nanjing, China.
"Are you going to Mount Izu, Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture?" Qiao Yingjie is a short-haired girl with a cheerful personality. In the restaurant, she said to Zhu Yu and Ran Jie while eating:
"The terrain there is not very good, and there are no places of interest. What are you doing there?"
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie looked at each other and both knew clearly that the matter of Blood and Earth Guanyin had been "ignored" by some people intentionally or unintentionally.
"We went over to investigate some things." Zhu Yu told him frankly. His appearance has changed slightly now. If he is not an acquaintance, he would usually not be able to recognize him - even if he compares it with a photo.
"Then I suggest renting a car and going there." Qiao Yingjie pointed at the restaurant and said:
"If you can treat me to such a high-end restaurant, you should not be short of money, so there is no need to take the Shinkansen. Although renting a car is expensive, it is at least convenient."
She paused and said:
"Besides, I'm a black belt in judo, so don't take any chances with me!"
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie both laughed dumbly. This girl was really straightforward and said anything.
Qiao Yingjie has been studying here for a year and a half, and is already familiar with all kinds of things. He helped rent a car, then bought some necessary things for the trip, and moved forward.
Qiao Yingjie drove and introduced the scenery and buildings on the roadside along the way.
"Although the journey is not very far, I suggest that we stay in Atami City for one night before going to Mount Izu. I heard that there have been heavy rains and mudslides there, so I don't know if it is safe now."
"No problem, I'll listen to you." Zhu Yu said, "To us, you are a professional."
"Don't tell me, I'm really a semi-professional." Qiao Yingjie boasted: "Although I have only been here for less than two years, I have been working as a part-time tour guide for three months. Basically, I have accepted In a small domestic group, others’ evaluations of me are pretty good.”
Zhu Yu smiled, with this girl's character, unless she encounters those weirdos or freaks, she will basically not be dissatisfied.
The three people stayed in a relatively ordinary hotel in Jinghai City.
It can be seen that although Qiao Yingjie said that Zhu Yu and the others were not short of money, the hotels introduced were economical and practical, with good service, and they did not rip off customers just because they were rich.
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie basically behaved themselves. Even in the evening, Qiao Yingjie said that he would take them out to experience the local leisure time at night, such as drinking sake and watching a geisha.
But Zhu Yu and Ran Jie refused, saying they were not used to it.
"If I hadn't seen you two living in two rooms, I would have looked twice at the beautiful women on the street. I would have thought you two were that kind of people." Because they were more familiar with each other, Qiao Yingjie also looked at her during breakfast the next morning. Made a joke:
"I have met many people from China. When I come here, I want to see the very mature industry here. You are better off, go see Mount Izu, and don't even see geisha..."
"If it was the original version from the Tang Dynasty, you might want to take a look." Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Now the version has changed, I can't understand it, and it doesn't look good. Rather than being annoying, it's better not to read it. "
"Mr. Zhu, you are honest!" Qiao Yingjie said, "I won't ask about your affairs. I'm afraid you will silence me - don't worry, I'm very strict with my words. Just pretend I didn't see anything. Didn't happen."
"I'm afraid that when you see it, you will be more excited than us..." Zhu Yu said something and stopped talking.
Although Qiao Yingjie was a little confused, the customer stopped talking and she couldn't say anything anymore, so she just drove.
The car started to enter the mountainous area, and sure enough, there were a lot fewer cars and people.
"Mount Izu is ahead. Where exactly are you going?" Qiao Yingjie slowed down and asked, "I don't want to hear that you want to go around the entire mountain. That would be too much work!"
"No, we are going to a place called Xingya Guanyin Yuan - let's go inside and ask the local people to find out." Ran Jie had already made a plan and said according to the predetermined lines, "We're here If you ask, you should be able to find out."
"You are worshiping Guanyin!" Qiao Yingjie suddenly realized, and then became confused again, "Isn't Guanyin's hometown in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea of our country? Why do you come here to worship?"
"No, let's find this place." Zhu Yu explained, "We'll find something there, or if you're worried, our employment will end when we get there."
"No, no." Qiao Yingjie smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious. Don't worry, I have a good reputation as a part-time tour guide, and I can't abandon customers halfway. Unlike some places in China now, because of the popularity of tourism, , housing prices have skyrocketed, and as a result, tour groups have begun to drop customers—that doesn’t exist here!”
Since she said that, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie didn't say anything more.
The car continued to drive into the mountains, and there were fewer and fewer cars along the way. When we reached a ravine, we saw that there were no cars on the road.
However, there are a few families on the edge of the ravine.
Qiao Yingjie pulled over and stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt and said:
"I'll go over and ask for directions. Do you want to come with me?"
"Let's come down too." Zhu Yu said, "You ask for directions, and we'll just wander around here."
Qiao Yingjie smiled and nodded.
When she went over to the house to ask for directions, Ran Jie asked Zhu Yu in a low voice:
"Boss, what are we looking at?"
"What are you looking at? Let's give her courage." Zhu Yu also whispered, "She is a single girl who came here to ask for directions. What if she encounters someone with bad intentions? The two of us got out of the car. In a conspicuous position, those people It’s okay to be simple, if you have bad intentions, then you have to be careful.”
"Oh!" Ran Jie said he understood.
After a while, they saw Qiao Yingjie coming out of one courtyard and going to another.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Yingjie walked back quickly, came up to him and said:
"I have inquired about it clearly. It turns out that there is indeed a Xingya Guanyin Temple in the mountains. However, the heavy rains and floods a few years ago leveled it... I'm afraid your trip will be in vain."
"It's okay. Have you found out the location? Take us there to have a look." There was no trace of disappointment on Zhu Yu's face.
"You...do you know that it has been leveled?" Qiao Yingjie fully expected that the two of them would show disappointment or disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were very calm and still wanted to go!
This was beyond her expectation!
Then I thought of the previous answer.
"Yes, we have seen it in the information, but we are going to that place. Regardless of whether the Guanyin Temple is there or not, we have to take a look."
"Okay, let's get in the car." After hearing this, Qiao Yingjie knew that he was definitely leaving this time, so he got in the car and continued driving after Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were seated.
The car turned two corners and entered an environment with high mountains and dense forests, and the speed also slowed down.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at a flat beach.
"According to what those people said before, if you walk seven or eight hundred meters into the ditch from here, you will reach the former site of Xingya Guanyin Temple. But according to them, there is nothing there now."
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie got out of the car and were a little surprised when they saw the flat beach in front of them.
On the surface, it does look like there were traces of a mudslide. The silt and gravel silted out from the ravine flattened the entire ravine.
The terrain here is slightly higher than other places, and it does not conform to the characteristics of a ravine.
"Let's go, walk inside and you'll find out." Zhu Yu walked inside, walked a few steps, and then looked at Qiao Yingjie:
"If you feel tired, you can stay here and watch the car."
After saying that, he and Ran Jie headed towards the mountains together.
Qiao Yingjie decisively stayed.
Cowards live long, and the mountains don't look like there are people there. Who knows why these two people are going there?
Staying in the car and locking the windows, Qiao Yingjie was surprised to find that there was a signal here!
She scrolled through her phone for a while, and suddenly she became curious about Xingya Guanyin Temple. She couldn't help but search it on her phone.
After this search, Qiao Yingjie's expression changed immediately!
"What the hell...there is such a thing!"
She suddenly understood why Zhu Yuranjie and the others said before that if she knew the situation, she would not be like before...
Who can tolerate this?
I am still from Nanjing!
