Chapter 325: The Secret of the Japanese
After returning to the hotel, Xiao Lei and I sent three Japanese women into the room first. Then he immediately returned to his room, told his cousin about these things, and asked him what he should do next.
After a little silence, my cousin decided: Since it has reached this point, it is better to directly pick out with the Japanese, and there is no need to hide it anymore.
A single knife straight in, a surprise attack, maybe there will be unexpected effects. Xiao Lei and I also think that my cousin's method can indeed be tried, but other than that, I really can't think of any better way.
So, together with Hongmei and Sister Li, we first went to the room of the three Japanese women, and then told the female translator all the ins and outs of the matter—how we found out that they behaved abnormally when we were under the cliff, and then how we observed them at night, and what they did under the cliff, we all saw clearly; Later, how we got to the hotel, how we found out about the visit of the person during the day, and how we followed them after they went out tonight, we told them without concealment.
When the female translator heard us say this, she was shocked at first, and then she lowered her head, as if she was nervously thinking about something.
In addition, about the life experience of the blind man, as well as the life-and-death struggle between us and the blind man, I also introduced them to the female translator one by one.
The two Japanese women next to us, because they couldn't understand Chinese, could only look at us with a smile, and occasionally asked the female translator a sentence or two in Japanese, as if they also wanted to know the content of our conversation, but the female translator patronized and listened to us, and she didn't care about or have the heart to answer their questions.
In the end, after about two hours of talking, we were almost done.
It wasn't until after the lecture that the female translator raised her head and told us that today's incident was so sudden that it was completely unexpected, so she didn't know what to do or what to tell us, because there were many secrets involved, and she had to consult the three Japanese scholars and Tanaka before she could decide.
We felt that the female translator was reasonable and honest, so we didn't press her any further, and asked her to report to the four old men first, and the other two Japanese women followed, leaving only the five of us in the room.
We were all a little nervous, and we didn't know what was going to happen next.
After a full hour and a half, the female translator came back and said that the four old Japanese men wanted to invite us to their rooms, and that they might have important matters to discuss with us.
Seeing their reactions, my heart moved—these old Japanese men, since they said that they had important matters to discuss with us, it seemed that our trick really worked.
The four old men—including Tanaka, who was in a wheelchair, of course—lived in the best room in the hotel, the size of a presidential suite, spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated, and these expenses were entirely borne by themselves, and it seemed that they had enough money to spend.
As soon as the three Japanese historians saw us enter, they immediately stood up and bowed, their faces full of humility and politeness, but Tanaka, who was in a wheelchair in his pajamas, still expressionless.
After sitting down, the three Japanese historians looked at each other, and then one of them, clearing his throat, spoke in Japanese for a while, and after the Japanese female translator we realized what he meant.
The Japanese historian said that they did have a secret mission this time, but due to various reasons, it was not convenient to disclose it to us at first, and he hoped that we would understand and forgive us. They were very grateful to us for coming to the rescue tonight and were touched by our honesty.
They were very shocked and admired by the process of our struggle with the blind man, because many of the actions on their trip to China may involve the blind man, so these Japanese people hope to cooperate with us, and hope that we can also help them and deal with the blind man together, of course, in exchange, they are willing to tell us some of their secrets.
After hearing this, my cousin smiled and agreed.
After saying this, the Japanese historian nodded to the female translator, indicating that it was time for the female translator to tell their secret plan.
It is precisely through the narration of the female translator that we understand the shocking secret.
This secret plan is really related to Inoue's book. But many of the details still shocked us.
It turned out that Tanaka, who was sitting in a wheelchair, turned out to be one of Inoue's assistants back then, and he was still the most important assistant.
Inoue dissected living people and studied the meridians in the process, Tanaka participated in almost the whole process, and Inoue also read a lot of drafts of the book, at that time, Inoue also said to Tanaka with emotion that with Tanaka's understanding of the meridians, he could become one of the top acupuncture masters in Japan.
Why does Inoue trust Tanaka?
The very important reason is that the two of them are fellow villagers, both from Kyushu Island, and their villages are also very close to each other.
Kyushu Island is the poorest region in Japan, and most of the most powerful and lethal units in the Japanese army come from Kyushu Island.
The soldiers from the Tokyo area, many of whom were businessmen or well-to-do families, were relatively slippery, and when they started fighting, they cared more about their own lives, and they were far less desperate than the soldiers on Kyushu Island.
So, despite the fact that Japan is small, it also has a strong sense of region. Therefore, because they are fellow villagers, Inoue has a natural sense of closeness to Tanaka from the beginning of contact, plus Tanaka is smart and clever, and his temper is also very similar to Inoue, the relationship between the two soon became close, and Inoue naturally took special care of this young man from his hometown.
Even some secrets that he would never tell others, Inoue didn't hide from Tanaka - for example, because of his own operation error, he opened up the Tianyan vein of Crazy Man Six, and led Madman Six's escape, Inoue didn't hide it from Tanaka.
But Tanaka is also very competitive, and he has never told others about the secrets that Inoue told him, which also increased Inoue's trust in him.
Inoue also told him that although the Heavenly Eye Vein of the Sixth Madman had been opened, this method of using external forces to open up the Heavenly Eye Vein was the lowest level of method, so even after using this method to open the Heavenly Eye Vein, at most he could only see the meridians of the human body clearly; Other abilities are very limited.
And the Heavenly Eye Vein opened by the cultivation method is the highest level - after opening the Heavenly Eye Vein with the method of internal cultivation, you can not only see the meridians of the human body, but also know the past and future, gain insight into the changes in the world, and be an unpredictable prophet.
And after Inoue has dissected so many living people, he has summed up how to use the method of internal cultivation to open the Heavenly Eye Vein, and to write this discovery at the back of the book.
At that time, probably because Tanaka was too young, coupled with the turbulent war situation, everyone was facing the threat of death almost every moment, and at that time, Inoue's main concern was not Inoue's research, but whether he could survive.
Therefore, Tanaka was not very interested in Inoue's astonishing discovery at the time, he only felt that this Inoue was a research freak, studying some things that ordinary people could not understand all day long, and sometimes it was even crazy Chengdù, for example, when dissecting living people, at first, Tanaka felt that this process was too terrifying, and even had nightmares all night, and several times he was scared of urinary incontinence, and then gradually got used to it.
But Inoue had a surprisingly calm face, sometimes with an eerie smile and intoxication when dissecting living people, which made Tanaka shudder.
But what shocked Tanaka the most was one thing Inoue told him, which was too mysterious for Tanaka.
Here's how it goes.
One day, Inoue took a few Japanese guards to collect medicine in the mountains in this area, because Inoue also found that the herbs on this mountain were very different - most of the medicinal effects of the herbs here can directly penetrate into the human meridians, and compared with the herbs in other places, their medicinal effects are more flexible and delicate, and the function of soothing the meridians and pulses is excellent, which is incomparable to the herbs in other places.
But because it was a time of war, there were most likely guerrillas in the mountains, and they could be attacked at any time. So, every time Inoue went up the mountain, he only brought a few Japanese soldiers, and left all his assistants at the station, he didn't want the young assistants to risk their lives with him.
Every time they went up to the mountains to collect medicine, Inoue and a few Japanese soldiers changed into the clothes of the local people and dressed up as hunters who went into the mountains to hunt, and never wore Japanese military uniforms.
Perhaps because of Inoue's luck, he went into the mountains many times to collect medicine, but he never encountered a guerrilla, and even a medicine farmer rarely encountered him.
The more Inoue collected the herbs, the more he felt that these herbs were so precious, and finally, he was no longer satisfied with picking them in the nearby mountains, so he gradually walked deeper into the mountains, sometimes for several days as soon as he entered.
Once, Inoue and a few Japanese soldiers went into the depths of the mountains in disguise, but because the weather was bad at that time, it was rainy for days, and the terrain in the mountains was particularly steep, which was not only difficult to walk but also very easy to get lost, so there was a Japanese soldier with a compass and walked in front of them as a guide.
This Japanese soldier as a guide is a specially trained special scout, good at survival in the wild, although during the war, the shortage of soldiers, especially this kind of well-trained scouts is in short supply, but in order to support Inoue's research, the Japanese army headquarters still specially assigned such a scout for Inoue.
But it was unfortunate enough, because the food and water they brought were about to run out, and they had to rush back as much as possible, so they had to march hard in the drizzle.
Somehow, this scout may have been raining for days and the ground was slippery, and when he was leading the way, he actually stumbled and fell into the valley and died.
As soon as the scout fell to his death, Inoue and the remaining four or five Japanese soldiers immediately panicked, because there was no compass, and in such a rainy weather, the mountains were shrouded in mist, and they were completely disoriented.
But it was this disorientation that led them to encounter an unbelievable miracle.
