Chiba Ichiro, who was seriously injured, was successfully returned to Japan under the arrangement of the Japanese Consulate in New York.

Of course, there is also an element of deliberate water release by S.H.I.E.L.D. in this. After all, according to the plan of the S.H.I.E.L.D., it was to let the Japanese get the treasure map.

Upon arrival at Tokyo's Narita Airport, Chiba Ichiro struggled to get off the plane by himself. As a warrior who had returned triumphantly, he hoped that he would be able to fully embody the dignity of a samurai. However, the injury was too serious, and in the end, he had to walk down the ramp of the plane with the support of Yin Wu.

In the course of this operation, Intake was the only one who survived, except for Chiba Ichiro and Red Sakura. This is not because he is highly skilled, but because he is in charge of receiving and does not participate in the battle process ahead. However, this time Chiba Ichiro was able to survive by luck, also thanks to Inmu.

In the process of pursuit, Han Joonji's archery, although it has not yet reached the level of the arrow god Han Zaiyun, also embarrassed Chiba Ichiro.

Just as Chiba Ichiro was about to escape from the Central Park forest, Han Joon-gi fired a sharp arrow that passed through his left chest, slightly deflecting his heart, otherwise Chiba Ichiro would have died on the spot.

This Chiba Ichiro is also cunning, he immediately fell to the ground and pretended to be dead after being hit by an arrow, and when Han Joon-gi stepped forward to search for a treasure map from him, he tried his last strength and used his trick Nine-headed Dragon Flash, and slashed out nine knives around Han Joon-gi's body with lightning speed.

Han Joon-gi dodged in a hurry, and although he dodged a few knives, he was still slashed in the chest and right thigh. Thanks to this move of the nine-headed dragon flash, which was used by Chiba Ichiro under serious injury, otherwise Han Junji would definitely have no return. Even so, it still made Han Joon-gi lose most of his combat effectiveness.

After one move, Chiba Ichiro passed out completely. Just when Han Joon-gi was about to desperately step forward to grab the treasure, Yin Wu rushed over and fired at Han Joon-gi with a rushing gun.

Due to being stabbed twice by Chiba Ichiro before, Han Joon-gi's movements were inevitably greatly affected during the dodge, and as a result, because he couldn't dodge, he was shot in his left arm. Seeing that he could no longer get the treasure map, he had to flee in a huff.

In the end, Intake carried Chiba Ichiro, who had passed out, to the car, and drove the car directly to the Japanese consulate in New York for fear of a police search. Fortunately, it was handled in time, and Chiba Ichiro picked up a life from the ghost gate.

In a hidden VIP room at the airport, Chiba Ichiro handed over the treasure map he had snatched to Yoichi Watanabe. The moment he handed out the treasure map that had been stained with his blood, Chiba Ichiro's slightly pale face was filled with pride.

The members of the Chiba family who came to pick up the airport also felt infinite glory on their faces, and at the same time, they also had a good impression of Yin Wu who was standing aside.

After the handover was completed, the Chiba family picked up Chiba Ichiro directly from the airport. After all, he was seriously injured this time, and he needed careful treatment and recuperation later, so as not to shed sequelae and affect his cultivation in martial arts in the future.

Yoichi Watanabe, who got the treasure map, returned to the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society's Intelligence Investigation Office directly under the escort of a large number of agents.

Ozawamatsu, the head of the room, who had been waiting at the headquarters, was truly relieved when he saw the treasure map. He stood up from behind the wide desk, walked over to Watanabe's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Watanabe, hard work!"

Then, he said to an old man with gray hair sitting on the sofa, "Professor Inoue, then I will work hard for you next!"

The old man, named Inoue, pushed the eyes on his nose and nodded undeniably. The pair of slender eyes, hidden behind thick lenses, flashed a touch of sharpness when they looked at the treasure map.

Inoue is a professor at Imperial University of Japan and an authority on cryptography research in Japan. Although he was a university professor, he was in fact a fanatical militant who always dreamed of the revival of the Japanese Empire.

It is precisely because of this that he has close contacts with the military and the Black Dragon Society, and has helped the military design a unique cryptographic system, which even the Americans cannot crack, so that the military has truly realized the secrecy of the intelligence system in the past 30 years. Until then, it had been under the surveillance of the United States. As a result, Inoue was highly regarded by the military and the Black Dragon Society's intelligence agencies.

Ozawamatsu motioned for Yoshi Watanabe to hand over the treasure map to Professor Inoue, and then the three of them sat around the coffee table together. It's just that before he and Watanabe could sit down, Professor Inoue angrily scolded: "Yaga, this treasure map is fake. ”

When the two heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Ozawamatsu hurriedly asked, "Professor, how can you tell if this treasure map is fake?" ”

This Inoue is a violent temper, even in front of some military bigwigs, he dares to scold, and these military bigwigs don't dare to be presumptuous in front of him. After all, this old guy is the treasure of their military.

Therefore, although Inoue scolded him, Ozawamatsu was still respectful and did not dare to make a mistake.

"Obviously, the treasure map must have been there for forty or fifty years, and the sheepskin was clearly new. Inoue impatiently threw the treasure map to Ozawamatsu.

Originally, he hoped to find the treasure with the help of the treasure map, and then use this huge batch of treasures to further develop Japan's military strength.

In recent decades, Japan, as a defeated country, has been greatly restricted in its military development, and the development of the Self-Defense Forces has been sneaky, and it has to seek the consent of the United States for its annual defense budget.

Once this batch of treasures is obtained, it can be secretly exchanged for funds for military development, and there is no need to include them in the budget. So, after discovering that the treasure map was fake, Inoue was very angry.

Ozawamatsu took the treasure map, and after taking a closer look, he found that the sheepskin really did not look like it had been preserved for decades, and the color and feel were not right.

He looked at Yoichi Watanabe with some puzzlement and said, "Could it be that this treasure map has been dropped?"

When he asked this, he was not suspicious of Watanabe, but of Chiba Ichiro.

He believed in Yoichi Watanabe's loyalty, and this treasure map Watanabe sent it directly after getting it from the airport, and he was always guarded by agents, and there was no chance to drop the bag.

Those who have come into contact with this treasure map, except for Yoichi Watanabe, are only Chiba Ichiro, and if he is dropped, he is the only one who will have a chance.

"Probably not. Yoichi Watanabe replied after a moment's thought, "I'm more inclined to think that this is a deliberate manipulation by the S.H.I.E.L.D., and they should have made such a fake treasure map because they were worried that this treasure map would be obtained by organizations in other countries." The real treasure map should have been taken away by Stagland, because according to the plan of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was supposed to be Striated who brought the treasure map to Japan in person. ”

This Watanabe Yoichi is worthy of being a senior veteran agent, and he may have been dealing with the S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time.

He continued: "However, although this treasure map is fake, the authenticity of the pattern on it should be more than 90 percent. ”

"More than 90 percent of the fart, you know? Can a 1 percent difference in a cryptosystem lead to a 100 percent wrong crack?" Professor Inoue was still furious.

Yoichi Watanabe hurriedly added: "Professor, in addition to this treasure map, we also got a photographic negative of the real treasure map, you can compare the two, it must be very helpful for you to crack the treasure map." ”

Hearing this, Inoue's anger eased slightly, and then asked, "Then when will the negatives be returned?"

Without waiting for Yoichi Watanabe to answer, Ozawamatsu on the side replied, "You can get it in three or four days at most." ”

Inoue snorted, and he said to Ozawamatsu, "This negative must not have any more problems." I think you're going to have to lay it out right now, make two more copies of the negatives, give them to different people, and send them back to Japan from different sources. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Nothing goes wrong.

When Ozawamatsu heard this, he also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he turned his head to Yoichi Watanabe and said, "You can arrange it yourself later, and there must be no mistakes." ”

When he said this, he sighed in his heart, this old guy Inoue is really cunning, and he is really very cunning.

It also taught him a lesson that he must be fully prepared for everything, even if it seems to have succeeded in the end, he needs to be cautious.

"Where is the real treasure map now, and why didn't you get it?" Inoue asked again after taking a sip of tea.

"The stripes have been killed by our men. The agent we sent didn't expect the treasure map to be dropped by this damn guy, and just got the negatives from him. This is also to prevent the negatives from falling into the hands of some organizations in other countries. Originally, the negatives were intended to be destroyed, and they were also preserved out of prudence. Now that I think about it, the hard loss has been retained, otherwise it would have fallen short. Ozawamatsu said with some trepidation.

He originally asked for immediate destruction, but later changed his mind after Watanabe's persuasion.

"Hmm. It seems that the treasure map is still on the body of the horizontal stripe. Inoue muttered, and then asked, "Can you find this guy's body and search it again?"

Yoichi Watanabe replied respectfully, "I just received news today that Stella died in the American Museum of Natural History after being seriously injured, and his body has been taken away by the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. It seems that the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. may well have taken the treasure map again. ”

Inoue listened, and his face showed disappointment.

He slowly leaned his body on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "Ozawa, go back and send this fake treasure map to the laboratory below." After getting the final film, I will also take it to the laboratory as soon as possible. Also, tidy up the room I used to live in downstairs. I've been living here for a while now, and there's nothing important not to bother me. ”

Ozawamatsu hurriedly nodded yes, and his heart was also determined at the moment. As long as Professor Inoue follows him, he believes that the secret of cracking the treasure map is just around the corner.

He said to Yoichi Watanabe, who was on the side: "Watanabe, you go and arrange it now and get the negatives back as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he continued, "I think, out of prudence, let Red Sakura bring one of them back herself." ”

"The other two, one of which you bring back as originally planned, and the other you have to arrange for a competent person to pick it up. The three of them act independently and do not cross paths. ”

Then, he bowed down again and asked Inoue, "Professor, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

Regarding Ozawa's arrangement, Inoue felt that it was quite appropriate, nodded immediately, and said no more.

Seeing this, Watanabe stood up, bowed to Ozawamatsu and Inoue, and then turned and walked out of the office.
