In the second scene, Kawamoto Kuraji is playing with a boy and a girl in the yard, while a young woman watches them with a smile.
In the third scene, the visibly aged Kawamoto Kuraji is kneeling in a room, while a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, bows deeply to him. Kawamoto Kuraji wears a satisfied smile.
The fourth scene shows a white porcelain vase suddenly falling to the ground and shattering into pieces with a crash, with Kawamoto Kuraji collapsing to the ground clutching his chest.
The fifth scene shows Kawamoto Kuraji carefully turning the combination lock, turning the key to open a safe, putting a document bag inside, and then closing the safe and turning it back into place.
The image flashed by, and Ning Zhiheng quickly brought his thoughts back to reality. Without pausing, he stepped forward to carefully examine Kawamoto Kuraji's ankle. If one did not look closely, the tiny needle hole would not be visible.
Then he covered Kawamoto with the bedding, carefully checked it to make sure there were no flaws, and at this point, the task assigned to him by the Chief of Staff was half completed. The remaining task was to safely evacuate from the consulate without letting the Japanese realize that this was an assassination, otherwise the mission could not be considered a success.
But before leaving, he still wanted to try one more time. It wasn't easy to infiltrate in, so he wanted to see if he could retrieve any valuable top-secret information.
He carefully put away the syringe first, and then, according to his memory, began to remove all traces in the bedroom. With his meticulousness and experience, he did a very thorough job of cleaning up.
After everything was finished, he began to carefully recall the five images in his mind.
The first picture naturally depicts Kawamoto Kuraji in his youth, teaching a class. It's surprising that Kawamoto Kuraji was a teacher in his youth, but this picture doesn't have any informational value.
The second scene clearly depicts the Kawamoto family reuniting, enjoying a happy and harmonious time, which is of no value to Ning Zhiheng.
The meaning of the third scene is unclear. It shows only a middle-aged man bowing to Kawamoto Kuraji. Who is this person? Someone who could be remembered by Kawamoto Kuraji in his final moments must be very important. This middle-aged man must be remembered.
The fourth scene is quite simple. It shows Ning Zhiheng deliberately breaking a white porcelain vase in the Jing Shi Zhai of Qingjiang Garden. This scene strongly affected Kawamoto Kuraji, so he remembered it vividly.
The fifth scene shows what Ning Zhiheng most wanted: the scene of him opening the safe. Clearly, at Kawamoto Kuraji's last moment, the top-secret documents in this safe were extremely important to him!
Ning Zhiheng calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and carefully recalled Kawamoto Kuraji's actions.
"Six, four, two, seven, nine~~"! Damn it, the last number displayed was blocked by his hand, so I couldn't see it!
Ning Zhiheng quickly recalled the numbers that were not obscured in the last circle, and based on the distance, he deduced that the number should be between four and seven.
Ning Zhiheng was somewhat troubled when he had to choose one of these four numbers. These safes all had a preset device that would automatically lock if the password was entered incorrectly three times, making them impossible to open again.
Fortunately, it's a three-out-of-four chance, so the odds are pretty good. Ning Zhiheng reopened the metal door, went back to the safe, took out a pair of soft cotton gloves, put them on, inserted the safe's key into the keyhole, turned on the flashlight, and began turning the combination lock.
"Six, four, two, seven, nine!" When only the last digit remained, Ning Zhiheng hesitated for a moment, then chose "five," and turned the key, but the safe remained motionless, and the safe door did not open.
Try again, "Six, four, two, seven, nine!" This time I chose "four" and turned the key again, but the safe still didn't move.
He got three wrong out of four choices twice in a row—his luck was just too bad! He had one last chance, but if his luck was still this bad, Ning Zhiheng would have no choice but to give up.
"Six, four, two, seven, nine," Ning Zhiheng gritted his teeth, chose "seven," turned the key again, and pulled with one hand. The safe door opened easily; he had finally succeeded on his last try. Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed; his luck hadn't completely run out, and he had succeeded at the last moment.
