Time flies, and the murder case and the case of lost documents finally ended hastily due to the death of Zhou Ke's old colleague, and the passenger ship arrived at Yokohama Port not far from Tokyo as scheduled.

Some secrets disappear forever under the waves as the waves surge.

"Mr. Yamagami, is there no room for maneuver?" Zhou Ke asked with some regret as he looked at Shan Xialiu and others who were handcuffed.

As soon as the Shanghai Special High Technology Department received the news that the things were completely lost, it requested Zhou Ke to detain all the people who went down the mountain.

"Captain Matsuda, there's nothing we can do about it. Losing something is a serious crime!" Yamashita replied somewhat dejectedly.

"Mr. Yamagami, you are also a veteran of the Special High Technology Department. I never thought that a list would force you to this point!" Zhou Ke sighed.

"Captain Matsuda, it's okay to tell you now. According to our inference, the content of the list is about the Domestic Anti-War Alliance. It's normal that the higher-ups attach so much importance to it." Yamashita explained.

"It's a pity that I couldn't help Yamagami-kun."

Zhou Ke looked a little guilty, but in fact he was already thinking about how to decipher the list using only half of the code.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Ke watched his own military police escort the handcuffed Special High Technology personnel off the ship, then he personally picked up his adoptive father Kogoro's ashes and followed them off the ship.

"Kenji, after sending Yamagami-kun and the others down, you take our people to the nearest military police station to handle the formalities. Once that's done, you and your brothers can disband on the spot and take a short vacation!"

Zhou Ke looked at his military police who became very excited after returning to their homeland, and began to give orders to Tanegashima Kenji who was also somewhat excited.

This short vacation was applied for for his subordinates by Zhou Ke using his connections, and it was fully in compliance with vacation regulations.

Moreover, the military police that Zhou Ke chose to accompany him back to the country generally live in the vicinity of Tokyo, which makes it convenient for them to visit their families and also more convenient for them to gather when they return.

"Sir, my home is in Tokyo. If you have time after your work, you can come to my house for a drink!"

Kenji Tanegashima sincerely handed a piece of paper with the address on it to a family bodyguard next to Zhou Ke.

During this period of time, he has made a lot of money following his boss who has a strong background. This time he returns home in glory.

"Okay, I'll come ask you for a drink after I finish dealing with things." Zhou Ke nodded in agreement and watched his military police, led by Tanegashima Kenji, escort people away.

"Young Master, the old patriarch has sent someone to pick you up!"

The butler Sato excitedly led an old man with gray hair who looked energetic to Zhou Ke.

"Mr. Sato, do you know him? What's his name?" Zhou Ke, who was holding his father's ashes, asked the well-dressed old man in front of him with some curiosity.

"Zhenping, my name is Zhongren, and I'm an old acquaintance of Mr. Sato. Please follow me, the old man, and let's go home!" While the old man was speaking, he kept looking at Zhou Ke, his eyes full of kindness.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way. This is my first time going home."

Zhou Ke did not care about how the old man addressed him. Holding the ashes of his adoptive father Kogoro, he followed the old man with steady steps towards the luxurious convoy not far away.

.......

"Zhenping, Edo is so prosperous now, even more prosperous than Shanghai, but why do you always keep your head down after getting on the bus?" The old man Zhongren who was in the same bus asked Zhou Ke who was sitting next to him curiously.

"Old man, until my father's ashes are properly reburied, I really don't have the mood to look at anything else."

Zhou Ke had traveled to Tokyo in his previous life, and the prosperity of that city was far from comparable to the Tokyo of today, so after taking a look at the scenery outside the car window, he lost interest in it.

But it was Zhou Ke's genuine performance coupled with his nonsense words that fully embodied one word in the old man's eyes, that is, "filial piety".

"Zhen Ping, you are going to meet your grandfather soon. Are you nervous now?" The old man Zhongren seemed to have a lot to say. Not long after, he asked Zhou Ke another question.

"Old man, that's my grandpa, why should I be nervous?" Zhou Ke asked back curiously.

"Haha, that's true, but you are about to go to a completely unfamiliar place, don't you feel nervous at all? I heard from Youyi before that your father seemed to have told you nothing?" The old man Zhongren asked.

"Yes, my father never mentioned it to me, but that is my family, and the people in it are my relatives. When I think about it this way, even the most unfamiliar place will feel familiar!" Zhou Ke answered without hesitation.

Before coming here, Zhou Ke thought of all the questions that the grandfather in his family might ask, came up with appropriate answers, and memorized them on the space items in his mind.

Although the questions asked by the old man next to him were slightly different from what he had expected, they were basically the same. Zhou Ke planned to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the answers he had prepared in advance.

"What a great kid! As the future heir of the Aizu Matsudaira family, he is much better than the original heir in the urn!"

The more the old man Zhongren looked at Zhou Ke, the more satisfied he became. Although Zhou Ke's answer was simple, he gave it without hesitation, which undoubtedly showed that this child who was wandering overseas had a strong sense of belonging to his family.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the outskirts of a manor amidst a continuous question-and-answer conversation between the old man and the young man. Different from what Zhou Ke had expected, the convoy did not drive into the manor, but stopped at the gate of the manor.

The relatives that Zhou Ke thought would be waiting for him in the yard were already waiting at the door. Although this group of people included men, women, young and old, without exception, they were all wearing traditional black and white costumes made of very exquisite materials.

What surprised Zhou Ke the most was that in the crowd and behind the crowd, there were quite a few warriors wearing armor and holding cold weapons.

In particular, the warriors at the back of the crowd stood in a very neat row, and they had flags with the word "hui" or "three-leaf sunflower" tied to their backs.

"Zhen Ping, we've arrived. It's time to take your father home!"

As the old man Zhongren spoke, Zhou Ke felt like he had become a different person. The old man became much more dignified and seemed to have a more vicissitudes of life.

After getting off the bus, Zhou Ke held his adoptive father's urn and looked at the people bowing, feeling a little overwhelmed. Who was his grandfather? Didn't he come to claim his son's ashes?

"Zhen Ping, come with me!" The old man Zhongren called out and led Zhou Ke into the yard.

No one spoke along the way, everyone walked in silence, and Zhou Ke could even clearly hear the sound of armor colliding as the warriors walked.
