Text: Chapter 236 Exploration Trip Password Key

Under the arrangement of Akimi Morishita, Maehara Rattan came to Jeju Island as a tourist, accompanied by not only Akimi Morishita, but also Susuke Ota, who is proficient in outdoor adventures. This man is a ninja who participates in treasure hunts with the aim of protecting and supervising Dr. Maehara.

Arriving at Jeju International Airport, the three of them went to Songak Mountain on the same day. After checking in at Matsugaku Resort Hotel, Morishita Akimi rented a chartered car to make it easier to travel between the hotel and the exploration site.

Based on the schematic map provided by Akimi Morishita and the knowledge of the past history of the place, Maehara Rattan deduced that the place where the treasure was buried should be on the north side of the hill, and the altitude would not be high.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Mt. Songak was once a Japanese position during World War II, and they dug many caves and tunnels into the cliffs. To avoid the attention of the army, it is possible to go undetected only if you are active near the foot of the mountain to the north. It's the closest to the road and it's easier to transport things.

Now that Mt. Songak on Jeju Island has become a tourist attraction, Maehara Rattan and others can only turn into tourists, try to avoid the sight of tourists and managers, and wait for opportunities to use hand-held geophysical prospectors to explore, and quietly mark suspicious targets when they find them.

Akimi Morishita and Suketo Ota just followed behind, observing Maehara Rattan's every move, and their task was to cover and supervise. Seeing his professional and serious expression, they all thought that his work was very valuable, and Morishita was very satisfied with this.

The sudden sinking of the "Kyushu Maru" was unexpected by the Black Dragon Club, and under the tenacious protection of several survivors, the two cargo boxes containing Chinese cultural relics finally survived the typhoon raid and military search.

In order to avoid the military's follow-up investigation, those members of the Black Dragon Society on Jeju Island acted urgently, transported the cargo box overnight, and hurriedly buried it on the north side of Songak Mountain. They hope that when the situation calms down, they will quietly dig it out and find a way to quietly transport it back to Japan.

Unexpectedly, after the United States entered the war, the situation in World War II took a sharp turn for the worse. The area around Songyue Mountain has become a military forbidden area, and the Black Dragon Society has no chance to smuggle it twice, so they can only give up digging for the time being, leaving a favorable opportunity to appear.

After the end of World War II, in order to avoid the reckoning of the international community, the Black Dragon Society shrank aggressively and hibernate for a long time. By the time Japan and South Korea established diplomatic relations, it was already the mid-60s, and with the improvement of relations between the two countries, the two sides had normal trade and cultural exchanges.

Beginning in the late sixties, some people within the Black Dragon Society revisited the Chinese artifacts and thought that a favorable time had come, so they immediately launched a treasure hunt for Mt. Songyue.

It is a pity that the five people who participated in the emergency burial of the container at that time have been born, old, sick and died one after another after the passage of time, and now only one person remains.

The only one alive is Morishita's father, Yoshio Morishita, an old crew member with Alzheimer's disease, who can't tell the exact location, let alone go to Songaksan Mountain on Jeju Island to identify the scene.

At this point, there is no one in the Black Dragon Society who can go to the scene, and the so-called clues are only the oral records left at that time, as well as the topographical map drawn from memory.

Half a century has passed, first through wars and then reconstruction, but in recent years, the Songdaksan area has undergone extensive construction and renovation for the development of the tourism industry, and the original landscape has undergone great changes.

For more than 20 years, although the senior management of the Black Dragon Society has changed between the old and the new, the plan to find the treasure has never been abandoned. Several groups of people were sent before and after, but there were no new clues, and they almost attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies of Japan and South Korea, which made the high-level of the Black Dragon Society very distressed.

Morishita Akimi is the person in charge of this treasure hunt, and for the sake of the Black Dragon Society and his father, he has been secretly planning and waiting for the opportunity, and Maehara Rattan is the exploration expert he personally selected. Nearly a month later, all the formalities for going to South Korea were completed, and the three-person treasure hunt team finally began their exploration journey.

While waiting for departure, Maehara Ratto often met with Suzuki, who were both senior experts and scholars at the same university, and no one would pay attention to their interactions. And at this time, Maehara Rattan was influenced by Suzuki, and his original thoughts that had no sustenance finally awakened and quietly joined the White Dragon Society.

After arriving at Mt. Matsutake, with his unique sensitivity to geological exploration, Hara Rattan found two suspicious locations the next day, one of which was highly suspicious with a gazebo.

Relying on the exploration skills he had honed over the years, he memorized all the data and terrain in his head, and with Suzuki and Pierce's reminders, Maehara Rattan naturally did not reveal the possible location.

On the official exploration record, he wrote all about errors and worthlessness. And under the marked locations, the buried objects are some weapons and equipment left over from World War II.

On the morning of the third day, the trio went to Mt. Songyue again to prepare for the so-called suspicious target. On the road to the destination, a driving accident was encountered inexplicably. A Hyundai car, which was originally following behind, forcibly overtook and collided with the chartered car in front.

A young man got out of the other party's car, scolding in his mouth, and the chartered car driver was not to be outdone, so he immediately got out of the car to theorize. Maehara Rattan also got out of the car with a briefcase, and stepped forward to help the chartered driver speak, but unexpectedly, the young man grabbed the briefcase and quickly turned around and got into the car.

At first, the chartered driver didn't react, and only when the three of them shouted that things were robbed, did the driver hurriedly get in the car and start the vehicle. The Hyundai car didn't turn off at all, and as soon as the young man who grabbed the bag got into the car, the Hyundai car immediately accelerated and fled.

All the exploration information is in the briefcase, and such an important document cannot be robbed. Seeing that the Hyundai car escaped and was gone, Morishita scolded a few words angrily and hurriedly asked the driver to drive to the police station to report the crime.

When they arrived at the police station, after hearing the reason for the report, the police did not immediately dispatch the police, nor did they take any other measures to deal with the police. On the contrary, the three were informed that they were carrying exploration equipment and were suspected of illegal exploration of South Korean territory, and they were temporarily detained.

Morishita asked to speak to his lawyer, called the Black Dragon Society, and quickly reported the situation. After the mediation of the Black Dragon Society in Japan and South Korea, although the three were released, Maehara Tengji, as a geological expert, was declared to be persona non grata from the Korean side and was not allowed to set foot in South Korea after being expelled.

The trio returned to Japan, and although the exploration yielded no tangible results, Morishita was polite to Maehara Rattan, as he was not dead set on the treasure hunt. Although Dr. Maehara can't go to Korea again, after all, he has conducted field surveys on Mt. Songak, and his opinions or opinions will definitely be helpful in the future treasure hunting.

As for the person who snatched the briefcase, the Black Dragon Society learned through investigation that the person's name was Ichiro Kogawa and he was a member of the White Dragon Society. For this operation, he was ordered by Paul Pearce. The Black Dragon Society immediately issued a hunt order for the two and traced the whereabouts of the documents in the briefcase.

This snatching incident was planned by Pierce and Suzuki in advance, and Maehara Rattan only did a good job. They want to create a false impression that the people of the Black Dragon Society think that the exploration data is in the briefcase, and it is the real raw data. In fact, the actual exploration results and schematic diagrams were written in a diary from memory after Maehara Rattan returned to Japan.

After returning to Tokyo, Morishita Akimi often came to Maehara Rattan for drinks and chats, thinking that this person was a rare talent, hoping to persuade him to join the Black Dragon Society, which would be very beneficial for other activities in the future. In order to increase his persuasiveness, Morishita Akimi constantly boasted about the strength of the Black Dragon Society. For example, from the ruffians and hooligans to the dignitaries, there are people from the Black Dragon Society, and so on. Even some councillors are members of the Black Dragon Society, as the Black Dragon Society often manipulates political donations to help someone get elected to the council.

The shady history of political donations has been around for a long time, and Maehara Rattan had heard about it before, but now that he learned the details, he immediately told Suzuki about the shady dove. Not long after, the media revealed the political donation scandal, and several parliamentarians were forced to resign from public office, which caused the Black Dragon Society to be embarrassed for a while.

This incident annoyed Morishita Akimi, and he suspected that Maehara Rattan had leaked the news. Because it was his own negligence and talkativeness, he naturally did not report this matter within the Black Dragon Society, but only sternly warned Dr. Maehara not to talk nonsense in the future, otherwise he would not be polite.

Seeing that Xiao You stopped and didn't speak, Lin He said, "Why did you stop suddenly, continue." ”

Xiao You said: "Do you believe what I said?" ”

Lin Heqi said: "Of course, you have sworn to be loyal to me, so naturally you will not tell lies." ”

"Xiaoyou, what you said is very good." Mami Murakami exclaimed, "If I were to translate, it would not be so smooth." ”

Lin He said: "Since Zhenmei has praised you, then continue." ”

After a period of reminiscence, Maehara Rattan transcribed all the exploration results and site marker maps in his diary, and then burned the drafts one by one. Then he went to Suzuki and handed him the diary he had put together, so that his mission was complete.

This diary not only records the origin of the treasure of Mt. Matsutake, but also records the events of this period, plus the results of the exploration and the marker map, which is called a secret document.

The treasure is a batch of stolen precious Chinese artifacts that now involve multiple countries. This kind of secret information has a large impact, and only when it is disclosed outside the country concerned can it have the effect of being made public, so as to avoid a possible diplomatic storm involving many countries.

At Suzuki's request, the secret documents were to be handed over to Paul Pearce, an expatriate who had multiple media outlets available to disclose information. However, in order to avoid the Black Dragon Society's pursuit order, he has now left Japan and gone to Africa.

After Suzuki accepted the diary, he felt that it was not safe to keep it with him, and after discussing it, the two decided to store the diary in the safe deposit box of the bank and take it out and give it to him when he had the opportunity to see Pierce.

Considering the deep influence of the Black Dragon Society and the tentacles of all walks of life, the two felt that it was safer to choose a local bank. Maehara was a native of Hokkaido, so Suzuki accompanied him to Sapporo and kept his diary in a safe deposit box at the Sapporo Bank, with the password and key in Suzuki's custody.

Not long after, Maehara Tengtiao received a call from an old friend, Liu Yiming, a Chinese geological exploration expert, inviting him to join a joint exploration team to explore the primary jade mine. Liu Yiming was a visiting scholar at the University of Tsukuba in his early years, and the two had a close personal relationship, and Maehara Rattan agreed to the invitation without hesitation.

Just before he was about to leave for China, Suzuki hurriedly came to look for him, saying that something had happened. That Kogawa Ichiro was caught by the Black Dragon Society, and he couldn't figure out the fact that the society confessed to the secret documents.

Suzuki was worried that something would happen to him, so he handed a folded envelope to Maehara Rattan, which contained the password and key to the bank safe, and asked Maehara Rattan to keep it carefully and deliver it to Paul Pierce as soon as possible.

Suzuki's worries were not superfluous, and three days later, Maehara Ratwith received the news that he had died in a car accident. It is very likely that he will also be targeted by the Black Dragon Society, so he can go to the joint exploration team and hide in China first.
