The Xiao family members standing at the scene were shocked, and many of them had their eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out.

Yan Mei asked a series of confusing questions, and Xiao Weijiang didn't know where to start answering. Finally, he said in a general way: "Mom, I can't explain it clearly now. Things are not as simple as you think?!"

Yan Mei stared at Xiao Weijiang in shock, then turned to look at Xiao Weizhou, who also avoided her gaze. Clearly there was something hidden, and Yan Mei's vision went dark, nearly fainting. Zhang Moyan and her aunt stepped forward in time to hold her up.

Xiao Weijiang also came up to support his mother: "This matter is difficult to explain in a few words, and a lot of it is just my speculation. When I left the Xiao family, I took some of my father's things with me, including a diary. In it, he mentioned that a suspected ancient official kiln site from the Song Dynasty was discovered in Luoyang that year. He was invited by the Luoyang Cultural Relics Bureau to participate in the investigation. Just before he left with Zhang Shunqing and Chen Yun, a Japanese named Tanaka Ryuichi called and wanted to meet him in Luoyang. He said in the diary that he felt that the Japanese man had impure motives and was somewhat dangerous, so he rejected him, but he believed that the other party would not let it go and would definitely show up again. My father did not take this diary with him when he left, and it was because he did not take it with him that I had the opportunity to see his account."

"And you met Tanaka Ryuichi in Yu County this time?" Xiao Weizhou speculated, "How can you be sure that the Tanaka Ryuichi you met is the same Tanaka Ryuichi in Uncle Guoxi's diary?"

Xiao Weijiang said, "Nationality, name spelling, and age... This Japanese man named Tanaka Ryuichi is over 60 years old. Twenty-six years ago, he was in the prime of his life. He must be the one who contacted my dad!"

Xiao Weiyu snorted disdainfully, "Nationality? Name spelling? Age? There are so many people with the same name! What kind of evidence is this? It's too unreliable!"

Xiao Weijiang was so overwhelmed by his outburst that he subsided, but he still said, "It's just my intuition. I just have this feeling for no reason that he is the Japanese man in my father's diary!"

Xiao Mumu advised, "Uncle Wei Jiang, this possibility exists, but it's probably very small! There are only about 40 common Japanese surnames, and Tanaka is a common surname in Japan. There must be a lot of people named Tanaka Ryuichi."

"I don't think so," Xiao Xingyu frowned in thought. "There may be many people in Japan with the same nationality, the same name, and the right age, but if you add the condition of being interested in celadon, I'm afraid there won't be many left!"

Everyone was stunned when he heard this. Xiao Xingyu continued, "The area around Yu County was called Junzhou in ancient times. It is the home of the Jun kiln, one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty. When it comes to celadon, people often identify it by the glaze color, thinking that only the Ru, Guan and Ge kilns are celadon production areas. However, few people know that in history, Jun kiln porcelain, famous for its diverse glaze colors, is also an important birthplace of celadon. In addition to rose purple, Jun red, and moon white, Jun porcelain can also appear in sky blue, sky blue, and emerald green. However, these glazes are different from the green glazes in the south. They are milky and show signs of kiln change."

Xiao Xingyu paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "It seems that this Tanaka Ryuichi is a very knowledgeable celadon enthusiast!"
