Ji Yan saw that Mei Yuning got up and woke up, turned back and walked out of the house, trotted all the way to the hall, and woke up Sun Dayong, who was still asleep.

So much had happened in one day yesterday that no one could keep the vigil, so they all stayed in this abandoned house last night.

Looking at Ji Yan's excited expression, Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong were sleepy-eyed, I don't know why, Mei Yuning has already put on his clothes, Sun Dayong is very casual, shirtless, with his shirt on his shoulders, but he didn't close the placket, it can be said that he has his chest and breasts.

However, no one paid attention to these little things now, and the two of them looked at Ji Yan dumbfounded, waiting for him to make his big discovery clear.

Ji Yan cleared his throat, pointed to the water urn on the side of the stove, imitated the appearance of many detective movies he had seen, and shook his head and said: "When I first saw the tattoo on the young man's body last night, I thought it seemed that I had seen it somewhere, but where it was, I didn't have a clue for a long time. ”

Dancing in this room, Ji Yan also took out the pattern he drew last night, and handed the blank paper with this pattern to Sun Dayong and Mei Yuning.

Ji Yan was not in a hurry, and said to the other two: "But I didn't think about it last night, I guess I was too tired, I fell asleep not long after I lay down, this morning I got up to drink water, so I walked to the side of this water urn and scooped water to drink." ”

Ji Yan held the water urn in his hand and muttered, "I didn't expect that their power has spread here. ”

Mei Yuning looked at Ji Yan Shendao, and pretended to be addicted, grinding and chirping just didn't reveal the mystery, she got up a little and got angry, she complained: "What kind of force? Are you still talking? Not to mention that I went back to sleep. ”

Ji Yan felt that this was almost the same, and said to the other two with a smile: "This water urn reminds me of the retort punishment, which I saw in Japan last year, the kind of punishment that puts people in the urn and steam them to death." At that time, the daimyo from various parts of Japan were also present, and one of the princes of the family who didn't know which one looked in the direction of me and Mr. Zheng for a while, and I was very impressed by the look in his eyes. And that person was wearing clothes with this pattern. ”

These words really surprised Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong, they really didn't expect that there was still a Japanese force in the South Seas, and they really hadn't heard of this situation at all when they were in the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, they all completely woke up from the haze, and both of them listened attentively to Ji Yan's words.

Ji Yan said unhurriedly: "I was a little interested in the bells and whistles worn by those princes, so when I was in Japan, I asked Wang Jinghong Wang, and the patterns on the clothes worn by those princes were the family crests of their respective families, which was very important to them and was a kind of identity recognition." ”

The pattern that Ji Yan drew on the white paper, like a car steering wheel and a crosshair, is the family crest of the famous Satsuma Domain of Japan.

"The prince of the Satsuma clan has this pattern on his clothes, so I conclude that the man who died last night has a deep connection with the Satsuma clan, and it seems that the power of the Satsuma clan has infiltrated the South Seas."

Sun Dayong thought about it, he had a question that was very puzzled, so he frowned and said, "Would these Japanese Satsuma Clan people make such an obvious mistake?" Wouldn't it be easy to get in touch with a person with such an obvious pattern on his body to spy on the military? ”

Ji Yan shook his head, and said in an affirmative tone: "Being conspicuous does not mean that others understand, first of all, many people in my Ming Dynasty also have tattoos, which is not uncommon, and secondly, in the deep mountains of the South Seas, how many people know the family crest of the Satsuma family?" ”

Ji Yan continued: "If I hadn't seen it at the time and asked a few more words when I was in Japan, I wouldn't have recognized this pattern even if it was placed in front of my eyes every day, let alone associated with a certain daimyo in Japan." Both of you went to Japan last year, do you know this pattern? ”

This is actually a knowingly asked, if Sun Dayong and Mei Yuning knew this pattern, they would have no plan to play a role in pretending to be forced here.

So they both shook their heads honestly.

Ji Yan had a "That's right" expression, and then didn't say anything more, only smiled slightly.

Mei Yuning thought for a while, smashed her mouth and said, "Then what are you going to do after that?" I don't think this matter is trivial, why don't you go back to the capital of the city and report it to Manager Zheng? ”

Since he knew that this pattern was the family crest of the Satsuma Domain, and understood that the power of the Japanese Satsuma Domain had begun to infiltrate the Champa and Cochin Kingdoms, Ji Yan really planned to turn back immediately and report the situation to Zheng He.

Therefore, after listening to Mei Yuning's suggestion, he nodded approvingly, thinking that it was not my woman, and he had a good idea, and then he turned his head to look at Sun Dayong, wondering what Sun Dayong thought.

Sun Dayong was also thinking about how to deal with this situation at the moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with any ideas, because the deceit between countries was very different from the rivers and lakes he was familiar with before, as well as the investigation and investigation of cases, so he couldn't think of anything for a while. However, Sun Dayong also agreed with Mei Yuning's point of view, there was no more important situation at the moment, only heard Sun Dayong agree: "What Captain Mei said is very good, I also see it this way, we need to return to the camp immediately now, and meet the chief steward to report this matter." ”

The three of them agreed, and all that remained was action.

The last time they left the house at the foot of the hill in a hurry, it was to chase the murderer by night, so their luggage was still piled up in the houses of these families.

Therefore, they first packed up their salutes, and then spent more than half a day digging five graves behind Chen Laohan's house, so that they could bury the five corpses in Chen Laohan's courtyard.

In the end, the three of them bowed three times in front of Chen Laohan's grave, and then turned around and walked quickly away from several houses in this secluded valley.

started to rush back, Ji Yan first roughly mentally calculated, the two-month period, so far, it probably only took less than ten days.

If it was the same as when they came, it would take about five days, so when they returned to the camp, it only took more than half a month in total, and it felt like a waste of two months.

They didn't get much out of drawing and finding maps.

The map drawn on mulberry paper with a dagger halfway up the mountain was of little practical use.

Frankly speaking, it is far less useful than the spy drawings of the Satsuma clan.

When the time comes, hand over the picture of the spy along with the other letters on this person, and it can be regarded as an explanation.

Ji Yan thought so in his heart.

However, their luck was not very good, and as soon as they set off and began to walk back, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no end in sight.

The next typhoon is coming.
