I hurriedly got up, poked my head out from between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and stared at the other end of the windshield.The street lights next to the car shone right in front of us.Thirty meters ahead is the gate of Donghai Lin Mansion.Nishijima was standing in front of the gate, about to ring the bell.Behind him, Police Officer Nakamura was slowly approaching.Police officer Nakamura pointed at Xi Yao, who suddenly turned his head, and said something, as if angrily scolding "what are you doing".Although just ringing the doorbell of someone else's house does not constitute a crime, but from the perspective of Police Officer Nakamura, Nishijima's behavior may have angered him.Nishijima retorted at Police Officer Nakamura with his serious expression.

"If there is a quarrel in that kind of place, even if the prisoner who walked through the empty door really came, he would be scared away on the way." Dongtang said. Not long after, Nishijima came towards us, and Police Officer Nakamura waved his palm in the air like coaxing a stray dog, as if to say, "Go back obediently."Nishijima walked back, his face showed a futile and dissatisfied that he couldn't fight with all his strength.Under the light of the street lamp, Xitu's shadow swayed on the asphalt road, and it seemed that even his shadow was dissatisfied. "Ah, there's another person here." Dong Tang said at this time.

"Any other cops?" I noticed that too. In front of the door of Tokai Lin Mansion, next to Police Officer Nakamura who was staring at Nishijima's back, a dark figure was approaching.He was tall and well built, and at first glance, he appeared to be an athlete. "Really, so there really are other policemen." Dong Tang said. "Yes." I was going to answer this way, but the man's face was gradually revealed under the light of the street lamp, and I could vaguely see it clearly: the sharpened chin, the high bridge of the nose... "Ah!" I couldn't help it With a loud cry, he reflexively unlocked the door on the right side.

"What's wrong?" "It's the president man!" Before I had time to think about it, I opened the door and rushed out. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Nishijima standing right in front of me. "Beicun, that policeman is too ruthless." He spoke to me in a surprised tone, but I didn't have time to answer him. "Now is not the time to talk about this." After I finished speaking, I ran out, pointed forward desperately, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Nishijima, look at that!" "Which one?" "President man!" I ran over.What did you say?Nishijima's answer came from behind, but I couldn't control it so much, I just kept running forward.At this time, more than ten meters away, the President had already cut Officer Nakamura backwards from behind.I don't know if it was because of running hard, or because the fear and excitement rushed out of my throat and pressed my tongue. In short, I couldn't make a sound, so I had to keep panting.

I heard Nishijima chasing up from behind. "Really?" He yelled loudly and followed. Officer Nakamura turned around and fought with the president's man.As expected of a criminal policeman, Police Officer Nakamura fought the president heroically, which formed a huge contrast with me who was captured and dragged away with my arms tied. However, the President's arm seems to be stronger, completely overwhelming Officer Nakamura.Officer Nakamura tried to grab him with both hands, but was thrown away with all his might.The president waved his right arm and punched Police Officer Nakamura in the face.A dull and monotonous voice suddenly made the night air tense.The president man's eyes were shining brightly. In his eyes, it seemed that Officer Nakamura was the only one.He didn't even bother to glance at us who were approaching us.

"Are you the president?" At this time, the man said.It wasn't roaring, it was more like the voice of an impatient adult scolding a child. Nishijima and I ran fifty meters away from them and stopped. Nishijima stood beside me and muttered, "This man, is this man the President's man?" For such a long time, the man who made him think about and respect him so much, and made it a topic of conversation when he had nothing to do, was standing in front of him, so Xijima must have felt a lot of emotion in his heart. "Don't move!" A voice rang out.When I looked up, Officer Nakamura squatted down and raised his pistol.

The gun was aimed directly at the President's man.Although Police Officer Nakamura's posture is not very elegant, and he is a little bow-legged, it gives people a sense of coercion.His hair was messed up and his cheeks were swollen after being punched. Officer Nakamura said again: "Police! Don't move!" The President stopped a few steps away from Police Officer Nakamura.There was still a strange light in his eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, as if he was asking "police"? "I don't want the police, I want the president." Police officer Nakamura raised his gun, slowly reached for the walkie-talkie strapped to his waist, turned on the switch, and explained the situation to his colleagues.He was probably asking for reinforcements.

I looked around, worried that someone would rush from the direction of the T-junction.We came here specially tonight, not for the president man, but to catch those prisoners who walked through empty doors.It is probably just a coincidence that the president's men's club attacked police officer Nakamura here, and there should be no connection with the incident of leaving the empty door.Therefore, I am very worried, what should I do if the prisoner who left the empty door appears now?When they saw us standing at the gate of Donghailin Mansion, and one of them was holding a pistol in his hand, they would definitely run away immediately.

"Hey, you guys, what's going on here?" Officer Nakamura shouted while staring at the President, "Is this guy the prisoner you mentioned?" Although the man who suddenly appeared cut his arms back and was beaten up, Police Officer Nakamura remained calm and did not panic at all.Maybe he was a little confused, but he tried his best to keep calm, and even stroked his hair with his left hand to straighten the curled hair. "Probably not." I replied, "This man is not a prisoner who walked through the door." "Then who is he? Your accomplice?"

"He's the president man." Nishijima said impatiently, with a tone of "how could you not know". "President?" Officer Nakamura was legitimately confused. "A long time ago, there was a passer-by in the city." I quickly explained, "You call him a serial robber, here, he will go around asking people 'Are you the president'." I wanted to keep calm, but my tongue Some can't turn around. Officer Nakamura did not answer.His expression was very serious, and he said to the president man in a more realistic voice than before: "Hands up!"

Officer Nakamura certainly knew about the "serial robber".His expression became resolute and determined. "Get out of the way!" he said.Seeing that the president man started to back away slowly, he ordered again: "Don't move!" "What would the president man do?" Nishijima muttered beside me. The sharp siren sounded, piercing the quiet night sky of the residential area.I looked around, wondering where the sirens were coming from.Red police lights swirling back and forth cast a chilling light on the buildings and the night sky.Not long after, a patrol car emerged from my right. The president man was taken aback, he bit his lip, a distressed expression was evident on his face.His downcast eyes looked very sad.Suddenly, he took a step forward, raised his fist high, and said in a low voice to Police Officer Nakamura who was holding a pistol: "Against war!" "What?" Officer Nakamura didn't respond for a while.I thought he was going to say something, but I didn't expect that the last sentence that popped up was "against the war".Perhaps this sentence made Officer Nakamura a little uneasy. "Against the war!" the President shouted again. My body couldn't help shaking.really.I glanced at Nishijima.Sure enough, exactly as Nishijima had speculated before, the President man was indeed worried about the unjust war, and he searched for the President of the United States in order to prevent the war.Looking at the President who shouted "against the war" in a desperate voice, I had to agree with Nishijima's judgment. "It really is like this." Nishijima waved his fist, full of emotion. Accompanied by the piercing siren, the patrol car drove over.The car stopped, and the sound of the siren stopped as if suddenly recovered.Red police lights swivel back and forth, like lighting fixtures in hilarious cop movies. "I can understand you." Said Nishijima firmly. At this time, the president man had been subdued by the police who got off the patrol car.He was pinned to the ground.His hands were handcuffed behind his back.Nishijima said loudly to the president: "I admire you very much, I can fully understand your feelings." Don't talk nonsense, you will be regarded as an accomplice.I sweated for Nishijima, but I didn't stop him. "Human!" Nishijima started again. The somewhat inappropriate line "Human beings" echoed in the night sky of the residential area. "Human beings are troubled by misfortunes that have nothing to do with them." Nishijima said firmly, ignoring the situation at the scene.This sentence, Nishijima often likes to quote. The male president who was overwhelmed to the ground raised his head and looked at Xiba at this time.Maybe he noticed it himself—"Who the hell is this man talking to me?" "Listen up!" Nishijima continued, "Someone died far away, how can I stand by and watch so many people die. I will rush to save you! This is the spirit." He seemed to be asking The male president said in agreement, "I also agree with this spirit very much. I deeply understand your desire to do everything possible to persuade the President of the United States." Nishijima really runs the train with his mouth full.Don't trust him, everyone. The man who was pressed to the ground was dumbfounded. After a while, he nodded. "However, unfortunately," Nishijima said at this time, changing into a tone of admonishing children, "the President of the United States is not in Japan, let alone in Sendai." Hearing this, the President man lowered his eyebrows very sadly, and then lowered his head. The constantly rotating red police lights on the roof of the police car, the gray or black boundless sky overhead, the strange man handcuffed and pressed to the ground, and the busy policemen with radios in their hands—this is What a sight.I fell silent. "Nakamura, who are these young people..." the policeman who set up the president's man looked at us and asked. "Just passing by." Police officer Nakamura replied lazily while arranging his hair with both hands.I don't know whether he was worried about us, afraid that we would get involved in trouble, or deliberately lied in order to highlight his achievements. In short, Officer Nakamura did not disclose our identities. "I said, Nishijima, now, those who leave the empty door won't come." I walked to Xijima and whispered, "The patrol car is still parked here so ostentatiously." "Probably won't come today." At this time, I caught a glimpse of a car with She Guang, which was a hundred meters away from us.I saw it running away, making a slight sound of sudden braking, and the huge car body disappeared around the corner. Is that the prisoner who left the empty door?I thought so for a split second.But even they can't do anything about it.Maybe Nishijima thought the same way, he looked at me and let out a long sigh. Before getting involved in trouble, it's better to get out of here as soon as possible.I'm starting to get a little worried.In an instant, my eyes met the eyes of the man who was erected by the president. "Ah." The president yelled, and Police Officer Nakamura and the others all turned their heads to look this way.I immediately panicked.What is he trying to say?Just when I was fidgeting, the president man said softly: "President." You remember me, what an honor.I almost answered that.But in the end I pretended to be stupid and asked, "What did you just say?"
