Hitomi Yamamoto personally opened the combination lock on the suitcase, opened the lid of the suitcase, and showed the contents to everyone.

The box and its contents were clean, but there was still a musty smell coming from my nose, and these things were indeed some years old. It's old.

There are all kinds of things inside, and the combination is even more bizarre.

There was a bulging document bag, no name was endorsed, and the mouth of the bag was just wrapped with a cord.

A cloisonné flask, which looks like a Chinese product, is most likely an antique.

There are also several wooden "toys", one of which is sure to be a model ship, the other looks like a Chinese torii, a bit like a Japanese torii, and the third is a square wooden box, which I can't guess.

There is also a small photo album, which is very thin, and it is estimated that there are not a few photos in it.

Hitomi Yamamoto shrugged with a smile and a look of self-deprecation.

"These are the legacies that my grandfather left me before he died, and I've been shelving them for so many years, and I don't even understand what they mean."

"Oh, didn't Mr. Yamamoto explain anything back then?" Wei Qingyun showed his gentlemanly charm to the fullest, and asked with a smile.

"No," Hitomi Yamamoto shook his head helplessly, "It's just that once I saw her fiddling with that flask and asked him what it was, and he told him a little bit." ”

“？”

"Mr. Wei and Officer Xie both know Chinese, so they should know this thing."

"It's a cloisonné wine jug, judging by the craftsmanship and quality, it should be something from the Kangqian period." Wei Qingyun was very confident in his play.

"Well, that's true, grandpa said that the person who sold this pot insisted that this was something that Kangxi passed on to Yongzheng, but looking at what grandpa meant, he didn't seem to be interested in the inheritance of this thing, or even whether it was true or false."

"Oh? How so? Although it is cloisonne, if it is really passed on by Kangxi to Yongzheng, and there is an inscription to confirm it, it is also a valuable treasure. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Wei, this thing has no inscription, it's not a glorious thing, it's a murder weapon."

"What? Murder weapons? ”

"Yes, and it's a very obscene and despicable murder weapon, I say so, I hope Mr. Wei and Officer Xie don't mind."

"Just take the facts." Xie Lingyan replied without humility or arrogance.

In fact, the real name of this wine pot is Zimu Zhuan Xin Kettle, the Manchu people took advantage of the chaos to enter the customs to occupy the Han family's world, knowing that they were at a loss, in order to win over the Han people and be jealous, Emperor Kangxi in order to consolidate his rule, used all kinds of means, including assassinations, and even more, to some Han ministers, celebrities, Ming Huairou, secretly killed the killer. This son-mother heart-changing pot was specially created for political assassination. ”

Hitomi Yamamoto said, took out the pot, carefully poured a cup of tea into it, and then poured another bottle of water into it.

"This pot, I think you have all seen and heard in the wild history miscellaneous records, in order to explain the situation, please allow me to show off a shallow opinion and try it on the spot."

Hitomi Yamamoto said politely, turned his hand and took two cups, and poured out the tea in the pot.

The first cup is a glass of water. The second cup is a cup of tea. It's clear.

"Hehe," Sun Yaoru smiled, "It's really the first time I've seen this kind of thing, but I don't know if this pot has anything to do with today's events?" ”

"I think so, I didn't really understand what these things meant, until my brother told me about the Cloud Whale Playground and the ship that I suddenly realized, I think this is a password left by my grandfather, a password to find the Rising Sun Maru."

Hitomi Yamamoto poured out all the tea and water in the teapot and gently tapped the body of the pot, and there was a strange sound inside, as if something like a tension spring was trembling.

"The mechanism is here."

Hitomi Yamamoto pointed to a jewel set in the handle of the pot and pressed it gently, this time the sound was heard more clearly, and something in the pot creaked and twisted.

"If it is full of wine and poisonous wine, there will be no sound, and the emperor's banquet and drinking are accompanied by singing and dancing, which can cover up these sounds."

This pot is exquisitely made, and the springs, slides, and mechanisms inside are extremely ingenious, and it is indeed the handiwork of the master craftsman of the Qing Palace.

It's just that its structure and principle are simple to put it bluntly, a pot body, a spout, and two pot galls inside, press the mechanism, the pot body rotates, and the pouring out is a different liquor, which is also the dividing line between life and death.

"I think my grandfather was inspired by him to use its principles to build the entrance to the Ishida vault."

Hitomi Yamamoto opened the old file bag, which was full of engineering drawings, and found out the key ones, which were indeed as she said.

One is the structure of the ship in the Cloud Whale Playground, and the other is the structure of the secret room at the bottom of the ship.

The other ones do look like blueprints of an entrance.

The style of the entrance in several drawings is not the same, and it should be several different design schemes.

Wei Qingyun and the others carefully looked at the entrance design plans, and immediately understood what Hitomi Yamamoto meant.

The design of the entrances looked complicated, and two of them were annotated in Japanese – it simply didn't work.

One of the drawings looks more reliable, with a general structure in the middle, and a series of illustrative diagrams around it.

This design is closest to the "child-mother heart-turning pot".

There is only one entrance, but by pressing a hidden button in the doorway, a staircase rises behind the door, leading one into the underground chamber.

If you don't press the button, when you open the door, you will see the normal spaces inside the ship, and you can't see the secret room that exists underground.

However, judging by the actual situation on board the Ishida, this plan was also abandoned.

In fact, there is also a comment on this design drawing by Takaichi Yamamoto - after the actual model was made, the effect was not ideal, and there was no guarantee that no one would accidentally discover the mechanism.

Hitomi Yamamoto picked up the square wooden box and operated it a few times, this is what Takaichi Yamamoto called the "actual model", which is very exquisite. Press a button and you can clearly see a staircase growing inside.

"This kind of staircase that rises automatically is a hidden danger in my grandfather's opinion, and there are detailed explanations in some design drawings, so I won't show you here."

"What about this? Is this a Chinese torii or a Japanese torii? Wei Qingyun picked up the wooden thing and leaned it on the table and asked.

"The torii gate is the torii gate of Japan."

"So what does this mean? I mean, Mr. Yamamoto, what do you want to give us? ”

Hitomi Yamamoto shook his head gently, "There is no hint, except for this pot, once I found out that he was playing, I pestered him to give it to me, he just took it as if he was scaring me, and told me its origin and story, my grandfather is a person, very typical of the founder of the first generation of wealth, that is, stingy, he rarely likes other people's grandfathers, to his little grandson and granddaughter, buy a small toy and a small skirt or something, no, in memory, it seems that there has never been, sorry, off topic." ”

“……”

"Actually, this box was given to me by his lawyer on my eighteenth birthday, when I was already in college and he had been dead for many years. At that time, when I saw these things, I was also in the clouds, and I didn't know what that strange old man was going to do, especially this pot, thinking of the story he told me about the emperor poisoning the minister, I was even more puzzled, is this going to poison anyone? Hehe, I went to ask the old lawyer, the old lawyer said that grandpa didn't leave anything, just left these things for me, I asked him what he left my brother, he shook his head and said, nothing was left to my brother, I was quite happy at the time, I felt that I was very pampered, but it took me a long time, and I didn't understand what these things were for, so I just put it away, but it was something that my grandfather left me, and I didn't throw it away. ”

“……”

"By the way, there is also this album, there are only two photos in it, and in one of the photos, there is also a torii gate."

Everyone's eyes brushed over the thin album in the box, very eager, but it was difficult to start by themselves.

"It's okay, I'll keep these things, it's best if they can come in handy, and it's good to give them back to me later, just take them as a souvenir left to me by the strange old man."

As he spoke, Hitomi Yamamoto opened the album and pointed out the picture with the torii gate in the picture to everyone.

It's a very old photo, a very old-fashioned color photograph – the colors are applied by hand.

In the photo, Takaichi Yamamoto is standing under a torii gate, white shirt, cargo pants, looking in his fifties, with deep eyes and a slight smile.

"I can explain that I have traveled to almost every place in Japan where there is a torii gate for this photo, and Japan is not as vast as China, and the torii gate has a certain sacredness, so it is not difficult to find them."

“……”

"There are many different types of torii gates in Japan, but they also have their own specific styles and details, from the Kamito torii and the Ise torii to the controversial crowned wood torii and the Mukan torii, and so on, but I couldn't find this torii, in other words, where this photo was taken has always been a mystery."

"This torii gate is indeed very special, if you don't know that there is a Japanese standing below, you would think it is the gate of a primitive tribe, the two pillars, Guan and Kasagi are all barked logs, and the workmanship is also very rough, many branches have not been cut and smoothed, and there are scars."

Sun Yaoru's thick eyebrows tightened, searching for something in his mind.

"yes, it looks like it was built in a hurry, and if it weren't for the little wooden torii that grandpa left behind, I wouldn't believe it was a torii."

"It looks like it was taken by the sea." Xie Lingyan said.

"yes, that's probably the only clue," Hitomi Yamamoto paused, then lowered his voice, and said in a mysterious, almost creepy tone, "If you look closely, there's another thing in this picture that is very strange." ”

Wei Qingyun and a few people passed the photos around, but they still didn't see what Hitomi Yamamoto said was weird.

"It's the sun, if you look closely, in this picture, there are at least six suns in the sky."
