Tokyo has been the political center of Japan since the Tokugawa shogunate, but it was still called Edo at that time, and it was renamed Tokyo during the Meiji Restoration.

Later, after continuous development, Tokyo became the economic, financial, and cultural center of Japan, and was known as an international metropolis along with the world's first-tier cities such as New York, London, and Paris.

This bustling metropolis facing Tokyo Bay has witnessed Japan's booms and busts, and even after the bursting of the bubble economy, it still stubbornly shows the world its former glory.

As Tokyo's busiest business district, Ginza Avenue is still lit up in the early hours of the morning, and the huge shopping malls seem to show the world the prosperity of Japan.

This bright light makes people forget for a while the bursting of the bubble economy that they have just experienced. The pain of plummeting stock prices and housing prices was lost in the darkness of the street corner at this moment.

The Mawson Building, located in 7-chome, is particularly low-key against the backdrop of the colorful neon lights on the surrounding buildings. Asahi leased the highest five floors of the building, claiming to be a multinational business consulting company, but in fact it was a powerful investigation department under the intelligence investigation office of the Black Dragon Society of Japan, mainly responsible for major espionage affairs at home and abroad.

At the moment, the lights are still on in an office on the top floor. The slightly dim light is emitted by the desk lamp, which is deliberately dimmed, and looks lonely and lonely on the large desk.

On the high-backed chair behind the desk, a thin old man sat on his back, his gray hair was meticulously combed back to the back of his head, his slightly squinted eyes revealed a trace of essence from time to time, and the whole person seemed to be lying relaxed, but like a panther ready to attack, dormant in the dark night, ready to attack and bite the throat of the prey.

As the head of the strong investigation department, Yoichi Watanabe has always been known for his calmness. During the Iran-Iraq war, Watanabe was ordered to clean up a safe house for Black Dragon Society intelligence officers in the city of Khoram Shahr, the epicenter of the war between Iran and Iraq.

With the shells topping the roof, he calmly destroyed all the materials in the basement and set it up as a haven for ordinary Persian Gulf residents, leaving the agents of the Quds Force, a mysterious intelligence organization known as Iran's CIA, who later arrived.

Calmness is a necessary quality for an agent agent, but it is rare to find someone as calm as Yoichi Watanabe. He has carried out countless overseas missions for the Black Dragon Society in his life, but none of them missed, and even today, the intelligence agencies of various countries cannot figure out his true identity, so he can only be named "shadow".

Yoichi Watanabe, who was lying on the high-backed chair, still looked calm as usual at this time. If an outsider was present, even if he sat across from him, I am afraid that he would not be able to detect the restlessness in his heart now.

Yoichi Watanabe has a habitual eye movement that he is not even aware of, that is, when faced with an urgent and important event, the lower eyelid at the corner of the eye will flutter slightly from time to time. Now, if you look closely, you can see that his lower eyelid flutters more frequently at this time.

Two days ago, an undercover agent who was dormant in the U.S.I.S.E.L.D. agency suddenly sent back an important clue. This clue concerns the Black Dragon Society's top-secret business that has been pending for years.

During the war, the Japanese Black Dragon Society was active in East Asia and South Asia, burning, killing and looting, which was very rampant. At that time, all countries were busy dealing with war, and the relatively loose management of society also gave the Black Dragon Society an opportunity to take advantage of.

The Black Dragon Society looted a large number of treasures from China and some Southeast Asian countries. Among these treasures is a Ming Dynasty shipwreck that was secretly salvaged from the South China Sea.

This shipwreck, a ship of the ****** caravans during the Ming Dynasty, was loaded with gold and silver treasures exchanged from various European countries through the silk and tea trade.

The Black Dragon Society was able to discover the shipwreck because when they ransacked a large family surnamed Zheng in Taipei, they obtained a family history book and discovered the secrets of the shipwreck.

The Black Dragon Society originally planned to secretly transport these treasures back to China. As a result, Japan was defeated and taken over by the American occupation authorities for a time. The Black Dragon Society was worried that the Americans would covet these treasures, so they did not dare to transport them back to China, so they had to hide them secretly overseas.

Later, all the Black Dragon Society involved in the treasure hunt were forced to commit suicide by caesarean section, and the treasure map was kept by Yoshino Toshijo, the leader of the Black Dragon Society in Southeast Asia, and planned to take it back to Japan at an opportunity.

When Toshigami Yoshino tried to return to Japan via the Philippines, he was killed by the mob in the chaos of his hotel where he was staying, and his belongings were looted. The whereabouts of the treasure map have since been unknown.

Therefore, the information about the treasure map explained by Li Jingwei in Murakami, which Li Jingwei captured in the Tianshan Hantan before, is not accurate. The treasures involved in the treasure map are not only from the Ming shipwreck, but also other treasures looted by the Black Dragon Society from various countries during the war.

This treasure map is not originally a treasure map of a shipwreck, but was later drawn by the Black Dragon Society when they hid the treasure, which is why the language on the treasure map is Japanese.

Later, the Black Dragon Society sent a large number of agents overseas to search for information about the treasure map many times, but they had no choice but to do so. However, the Black Dragon Society believes that these treasures are related to the fortunes of the country, and although they have been defeated repeatedly, they are not dead.

In the sixties, the Black Dragon Society simply launched the "Kamidai Sakura" project, and began to plant shadows in the relevant agencies of some target countries, trying to use the intelligence forces of other countries to search for treasure map information.

The "Kamidai Sakura" project is named after the "Yamataka Kamiyo Sakura", one of Japan's three most famous cherry blossoms, and it is said that it was a cherry tree planted by the Japanese warriors when they returned from the Eastern Crusade, implying that the project would be successful.

The nickname "Striated", which is lurking in the U.S.A. S.H.I.E.L.D., is taken from the striated bark of the cherry blossom tree.

Striated is an American-Japanese half-breed. His father was an American GI, and his mother was a bartender at a US military base in Japan. The American GI was abandoned and returned to the United States shortly after his birth, never to be heard from since.

For family reasons, Stagby hated Americans to the core, and at the same time had a fanatical Japanese bushido spirit. He was favored by the Black Dragon Society's Intelligence Investigation Office since he was a child, and underwent secret training. Later, with the opportunity of accepting orphans of US military soldiers living in Japan, he successfully entered the United States and joined the S.H.I.E.L.D. after graduating from college.

According to the news sent back by the horizontal stripes, Zang Baotu was accidentally discovered by a group of New York gangsters while robbing an antique store owned by Filipino-Americans. A gang member accidentally smashes a ceramic statue of Jesus and discovers a treasure map hidden inside. Later, the treasure map fell into the hands of the Clowber family, one of the three major gangster families in New York. Due to the cipher compilation used in the treasure map, the Clowber family struggled to discover the secrets.

There are no impermeable walls. Although the Clopber family tried their best to keep it secret, the news spread. For a time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency, some agencies in other countries, and some underworld organizations were eager to try it and showed a strong interest in this treasure map.

The Klober family knows the truth of their guilt, no matter how strong their power is, they can't fight against **, so they simply let out the news that they want to sell the treasure map, and sell it at a high price, and whoever bids high will sell it to whomever it wants. The Klober family knew very well that the treasure map had to be handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D., and the so-called selling at a price was just an increase in bargaining chips with S.H.I.E.L.D.

After some private communication, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Clowber family finally reached an agreement, and today is the day to make a deal. As a member of the three-person trading team sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., he sent information about the time and location of the transaction back to the Black Dragon Society's intelligence investigation room in advance, hoping to assist the organization in taking the opportunity to snatch the treasure map and complete his hidden mission.

The information from the horizontal stripes above is actually a joint effort between the S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Klober family, which can be disseminated, and it can be said that it is true or false, even the horizontal stripes as a shadow sub do not know the real plan of the S.H.I.E.L.D. behind the transaction.

Obviously, once the treasure map is in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is almost impossible to get it back. The Black Dragon will make a decision on the spot and take action when it comes to trading.

As the person in charge of this operation, Yoichi Watanabe sat in Tokyo and commanded it remotely, while the specific operation was carried out by Chiba Ichiro, his right-hand man and head of the U.S. branch. Chiba Ichiro is the youngest son of Chiba Maisaku, the head of the Japanese Beichen Sword-Stream family, with first-class knife skills and ruthlessness, which is quite appreciated by Yoichi Watanabe.

Yoichi Watanabe opened his slightly narrowed eyes again, reached for a red button on his desk, hesitated, and finally pressed it.

Soon, three crisp knocks sounded at the door. Then a smartly dressed middle-aged man pushed the door open and walked in. The visitor walked a few steps to the table, bowed, and then said, "Minister." “

"Director Gangcun, is there any news from New York?"

"Not yet. The middle-aged man replied. As the head of the Telecommunications Division, Yoshio Okamura also realized that Minister Watanabe was unusual tonight, and asked three times in less than an hour if there was any news from New York, which was very rare for a minister who had always been calm and calm.

"Minister, although this operation is rushed, the plan is foolproof, you just wait for the good news. Yoshio Gangmura thought for a moment and added.

Watanabe didn't say anything, but his eyes were slightly fascinated again. He had a faint feeling of unease, and he went over and over again in his mind to refine every detail of his actions. "There is no problem with planning. He comforted himself like this each time, but the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Yoichi Watanabe didn't seem to want to talk anymore, Yoshio Okamura planned to withdraw. Before he turned around, he heard Yoichi Watanabe say, "Tell Red Sakura to pick it up, and inform Chiba Ichiro." ”

"Do you want to arrange a joint codeword?" Yoshio Okamura said with a slight hesitation.

"No need. They have cooperated in several operations and are familiar with each other. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know. After Yoshio Okamura finished speaking, he walked out of the office quickly.

Immediately, the office fell silent again.

In an upscale apartment on Fifth Avenue in New York, a young woman is lounging in an oval bathtub. With a gentle shake of the wrist, the red wine in the goblet in his hand flowed slowly like scarlet blood, and the pleasant aroma of the wine continued to merge into the rising water vapor.

The woman was staring out the window at the sky, and no one knew what was going on in her mind at the moment. Suddenly, a gentle singing voice came from the mobile phone placed on the dressing table.

Sakura's song is a woman's favorite Japanese folk song, but instead of continuing to lie in the bathtub and enjoy the beautiful song, she got up and stepped out of the bathtub, grabbed a bathrobe, walked quickly to the dresser, and winked at the mirror, which instantly turned into a color display.

The man on the screen secretly swallowed at the woman's delicate face and towering twin peaks. As if sensing the sharp gaze in the woman's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his gaze and said to the woman, "Miss Sakurako, I need your assistance to Chiba Ichiro to complete today's action." ”

In Japan, where the concept of male superiority and inferiority is deeply rooted, the middle-aged man actually used honorifics when speaking to this young woman, which obviously made him a little unaccustomed to it.

The woman listened indifferently to the mission information, turned off the monitor without saying a word, and slowly stood up, the bathrobe that had been draped over her shoulders slipped silently. The bewitching red cherry blossom tattoo on the woman's back looks particularly dazzling on the pink and white skin.

A few minutes later, an Asian girl dressed innocently dressed as a college student walked out of the building with brisk steps and disappeared into the endless stream of people.
