117. Non-existent fog

Looking at the dissipating fireworks debris in the sky, Wei Qingyun smiled evilly.

This Onigoro looks cold and gloomy, but he's still quite romantic in his heart, and he makes a big firework when he unlocks it.

But also, if he was really cold from the inside out, he wouldn't have married a wife and had children.

Wei Qingyun walked towards the fishing village, where was the memory palace of Yamamoto Kiichi.

Climb up a hill to see the whole village, and a straight and wide road is the central axis of the village.

There are a total of fifteen courtyards, which correspond to the fifteen personalities of Takaichi Yamamoto.

In some courtyards, three or four households are lined up, indicating that these spy personalities used to appear at the same time, which means that Yamamoto sometimes had to play three or four different identities at the same time.

Wei Qingyun guessed that the closest to the entrance of the village should be Koji Ishida, the memory division of this personality.

This was also the original purpose of the job - Sun Yaoru suspected that Takaichi Yamamoto had taken a large number of cultural relics with him in China, and it was likely that they were transported to Japan via Koji Ishida's Rising Sun Maru.

The second mission is to be entrusted by Yamamoto Teko to investigate the secret transaction between Yamamoto Kiichi and the personnel of Country M, and find the object of the transaction as much as possible.

In the third mission, the Chinese side suspects that Kiichi Yamamoto is one of the war criminals who invaded China, and it is even very likely that he is an important member of the 731 Water Supply Force, digging up clues in order to find strong physical evidence in the real world.

Fourth, dig up as much valuable information as possible.

Wei Qingyun strode to the door of the first courtyard, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the right side of the door: Ishida Koji Mansion. That's right.

Wei Qingyun stepped into the courtyard, and the situation was similar to what he had expected before, under the crisp autumn light, the entire memory palace was collapsing.

On the ground of the courtyard, on the earthen house, there are large and small void holes, these void holes are irregular round, crescent-shaped, and exude a colorful luster like soap bubbles, but do not be deceived by these dazzling lights.

The void hole is the purest nothingness in the world of consciousness, infinitely large and infinitely small. Once you fall into it, you will fall forever.

Most of the time, the formation of virtual holes is due to physical trauma to the brain, which permanently loses some part of its function.

The void hole in Yamamoto Kiichi's memory palace was formed because of this, and if a certain memory is swallowed up because of the void hole, it really can't be recovered.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingyun's mood couldn't help but be lost, this time he sneaked in, more than half of the success or failure can only rely on luck.

Wei Qingyun bypassed one beautiful abyss after another on the ground, and finally entered the house.

All the houses are uniform earthen houses, with brick and stone walls and wooden bamboo planks on the roofs, which is guessed to be the architectural style of Takaichi Yamamoto's hometown.

The furnishings in the house are generally in the style of a fisherman's house, and Wei Qingyun inspected all the rooms, and finally found a brass telescope in a side room, which is very old.

There is a lot of consciousness density in this thing.,It's supposed to be the place where Koji Ishida's memories are stored.。

Wei Qingyun picked up the telescope, opened the front and back covers, and looked at the mirror holes, the memories inside were really intermittent, and some parts were even missing very much, and the longest one was full of memories for a month.

Wei Qingyun quickly skimmed through the content of his memory.

Compared to the role of this personality, Koji Ishida had a long time, a full year and nine months, of which it took more than six months to prepare the ship, learn the knowledge of navigation, and recruit the crew.

The ship is indeed a bit odd, how did Koji Ishida get it, the memories have been damaged, but in the first month, Koji Ishida often visited the ship, supervising the workers to repaint the ship.

From his scattered memories, it can be clearly seen that the Rising Sun Maru was originally a real destroyer.

The Rising Sun Maru began to be moored near a rocky shoal, and the surrounding area was very desolate, not a harbor or a fishing village.

After the ship was repainted, the Rising Sun Maru sailed into Port Arthur. At that time, during the Japanese occupation, Port Arthur had two ports, one for military use and the other for commercial use. The Rising Sun Maru sailed into the commercial port.

In the commercial port, except for a few key positions controlled by the Japanese, most of the office members are Chinese.

This is not surprising, since there is a relationship between the military, why do you still have to go through the business route? After all, commercial Hong Kong people have a lot of eyes.

Koji Ishida went through the port entry procedures with a set of ship licenses from mainland Japan, and falsely claimed that the ship had sailed from Japan to enter the port.

After the ship entered the port, Koji Ishida never paid attention to the Rising Sun Maru again, blindly touring the mountains and rivers, or simply staying in a brothel for a few days in a row.

It wasn't until a month later that Koji Ishida came to the port again to inspect the ship's condition, and when he saw the draft of the ship, it was already full of goods.

Maybe something was missing in the middle, maybe he had secretly connected with someone, but after a glance, I really couldn't find anything suspicious.

Koji Ishida inspected the vessel and applied to leave the port on the third day, noting that the destination was the port of Yokohama.

There is a missing memory in the middle, and there is no memory of the day the ship left port. Judging from the time markers of the memory fragments, seven days after Koji Ishida inspected the ship, the Rising Sun Maru was already far from the port.

Because Port Arthur is located in the Bohai Bay, from Port Arthur to Yokohama, you have to go through the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea all the way, at least to enter the Yellow Sea.

Even stranger is the timing of the voyage.

From Lushun to Yokohama, even in those days, ships could reach their destination in seven days at most, but judging from the fragments of Koji Ishida's memories, the Rising Sun Maru sailed on the endless sea for at least fifteen days.

These fifteen days are only before the accident.

Later, as written in Takaichi Yamamoto's diary, there was a heavy fog on the sea, the radar equipment failed, and it was difficult to distinguish between the stars and the moon.

Unable to continue sailing, Koji Ishida had no choice but to order to drop anchor on the spot and rest. One day or two was fine, but as the days went by, the crew panicked one by one.

The crew talked a lot, listening to the accents of most Japanese sailors, only three or five were Chinese, speaking Japanese with a strong northeastern accent, and occasionally scolding.

Sailors are the most superstitious, perennial sailors, eat fish and never turn over, being followed by sharks will have disasters, wearing equipment and materials can not be easily borrowed, and so on.

After several days of fog and electronic equipment failure, these sailors even more thought that this was angering the dragon king at the bottom of the sea, and that they were about to be damned.

So, according to the customs of their hometowns, more than 20 sailors, in groups of seven or eight, and three or five people, set up altars one after another, kneeling to the heavens and asking for the forgiveness of the gods and the dragon king.

However, Koji Ishida, who has been calm and composed, constantly comforts everyone, saying that the fog will always pass, and the food reserves on the ship are running out, so it is better to catch more fish than to pray to God and Buddha.

He also made a simple distillation system with the pots and pans in the kitchen, at least he had distilled water to drink, saving a little, but no one would die of thirst.

However, this fog, even today, is too strange.

The Rising Sun Maru left Port Arthur in October 1944, when there was no formal weather forecasting system, let alone a systematic recording of the weather at sea.

However, the two historians still managed to hook and sink a number of cargo ships, fishing boats, and even some warships registered in the Bohai Bay area, and the logbooks of some warships, between September and December 1944, did not find the heavy fog that did not disperse for more than ten consecutive days.
