The day after receiving the strange call, Changfeng was still at home after noon.He wanted to go to the apartment of the character Atsuya Banzaki, but he didn't know when would be the best time to go. If that man is the murderer, he shouldn't be at work, right?Chang Feng thought blankly.Even if there is a job, at most it is just a part-time job, or it may work in a special industry. No matter what, he should still be at home before noon, Changfeng guessed. The person who made the strange call even told him where to find the room key.In other words, Atsushi Banzaki also lives alone, as long as he counts the time when he is not at home, it should not be difficult to sneak in.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Changfeng began to make preparations in front of the door.He put his note-taking tools, mobile phone, map and reading glasses in his bag and headed out.He had planned to drive, but after thinking that he might not be able to find a place to park, he decided to take the tram. After buying a ready-to-shoot camera at a shop at the station, he remembered someone once said that sales of such cameras plummeted after the popularization of mobile phones with camera functions. Changfeng's mobile phone does not have a camera function, but he has a high-performance digital camera.The reason he didn't bring the digital camera was because he thought digital photos could not be used as evidence.

The tram was empty.He sat in the seat on the farthest side of the car, reorganizing in his head the actions that should be taken later. After dawn, he still didn't want to tell the police about the strange phone call right away.He didn't want to give up the possibility of finding the killer before the police, but that didn't mean he was trying to skip the normal process.He was just worried that once he called the police, he would lose the chance to face the murderer forever. Of course, what the caller said may not be true, and there is a high possibility of a prank; even if it is not a prank, it may be a mistake.

So first make sure.After confirmation, evidence must be left.It is for this reason that he prepares note-taking instruments and cameras. If he could find definitive evidence that Banzaki Atsuya and the others were the murderers, he would of course tell the police; however, even if he didn't find anything, he planned to notify the police after the investigation. He changed a tram and got off at the nearest station.There was a map of the surrounding roads hanging near the exit, so he took out the map he brought for comparison, and after confirming the approximate location, he walked out of the station.

The summer sun scorched the asphalt road, and Changfeng was sweating all over his body after walking for a while.While wiping his face and neck with a handkerchief, he checked the address sign on the telephone pole. Soon after, Changfeng came to the address told by the strange phone call, which was an old two-story apartment. After confirming that there was no one nearby, Chang Feng slowly approached the apartment.According to the address, it should be on the first floor.He walked forward slowly while looking at the room number and house number on the door. found it-- On the door of that room was the number plate "Banzaki", but the name below was not written.

He walked past the door, some distance away from the apartment, then turned a corner and stopped.His heart rate became very fast, and it seemed that he was holding that person named Banzaki inside. So what to do next—— Regarding this point, he should have thought about it before, but he only felt scared when the situation came to an end.After all, this is an illegal invasion of a house. Even if he is the father of the victim, he knows that this is not allowed. If you want to look back, only now.Then call the police and they will take care of the follow-up situation.Changfeng will not encounter any dangerous things.

But he didn't just want the killer to be apprehended.His real wish is for the murderer to experience his hatred and sorrow personally.He wanted to tell them how unacceptable the misfortune that had happened to Tuma was, and he wanted them to fully understand the magnitude of the crime he had committed. If it is handed over to the police, will this wish come true? I'm afraid it can't be helped, he thought.Because of this, the current judicial system that does not pay attention to the parents of victims is full of problems. I can only rely on myself, and Changfeng strengthened her mind.He wants to get the evidence, put it in front of the murderer, and then question why they let the innocent Emo be murdered.

Notifying the police is a matter of later. After taking a deep breath, he turned back to the apartment again.Sweat dripped from the palms of my hands. After approaching the apartment at a faster pace than before, he walked around to the back this time, looking for the window while thinking about the location of the room. The window of Banzaki's room was closed, with some dirty curtains hanging on it. It seemed that the lights in the room were not turned on, and the outdoor air-conditioning unit was not working. Maybe not at home - Changfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then he went back to the front and decided to ring the bell.

In case Banzaki was home, he was going to pretend to be a newspaper salesman.Anyway, he will definitely be rejected, so he can retreat first, and then hide in other places to watch, waiting for him to go out. What if Banzaki doesn't go out?Let's talk about it at that time, I can only think of other ways. But there should be no need for that, because no one in the room responded.Long Bee rang the doorbell again, but the result was the same. As he looked around, he reached into the mailbox.The person who called from the monster only said that the key was hidden inside the mailbox, but they didn't know how it was hidden.

His fingertips touched something, like a small paper bag.After he reached in, he found the key. Now is not the time to hesitate.After he took out the key, he inserted the key into the keyhole without hesitation.As soon as he felt the lock open, he turned the handle and pulled the door open. After Changfeng quickly slipped his body into the door, he considered whether to lock it. He didn't know when Banzaki would come back.If he found that the key was missing, there might be a commotion.It would be fine if Banzaki was the one who killed Ema, but it would be bad if he wasn't. Thinking of the end, Changfeng not only locked the door, but also put the key back into the bag in the mailbox.It would be nice to escape through the window when he heard someone taking the key—so he decided to unlock the window first.However, because being seen from the outside would cause a lot of trouble, the curtains must not be opened.

Standing in front of the drawn curtains, he looked around the room again. He really had no choice but to say hypocritically: The cleaning was very tidy.Magazines and comics were scattered all over the floor, and the trash can was full and down. Instant noodles and bento boxes from convenience stores were left in the corner of the room, and the small table was full of empty cans and snack bags. As soon as he walked into the room, he should be able to find evidence, like a video tape or something - Changfeng remembered the strange sound of the phone. There is a 14-inch TV and a VCR in the room, and there is an iron shelf next to it, on which there are dozens of rolls of video tapes, and the names of TV programs and so on are written on the labels in ugly fonts. Nagamine looked at the tapes, and then his eyes stopped—because there were several tapes lined up with strange titles, such as: "The Daughter of Wuliu Kosuge", "Qier Karaoke High School Girl", and so on. He selected one volume and wanted to put it in the VCR, but it wouldn't go in.He noticed that there seemed to be a videotape inside, so he pressed the return button. The videotape came out, and Changfeng took out the videotape, trying to put the videotape in his hand.However, at this moment, he saw the sticker on the video tape he had just taken out, and stopped his movements. That tape was tagged "August Fireworks Yukata." Chang Feng was frightened because he was too nervous.He felt his blood flow backwards, and his pulse beat fast behind his ear.Even though the room was as hot as a steam room, he felt chills all over his body. With trembling hands, Chang Feng stuffed the video tape into the machine, then he turned on the TV and switched to the VCR channel.Still, he couldn't press the play button on the VCR. No matter what the picture will be—he said to himself. No matter what picture will appear, he has to watch it.Perhaps this is the only chance to find out the truth about Ema's death.He must deeply imprint Tumo's experience in his eyes, until he dies, he has to bear this cross all his life. After adjusting his breathing two or three times, he pressed the play button. The screen that appears at first is completely white.The image was very blurry, and came into focus after a while.The color of the picture became darker and darker, and the blurry image just now showed a clear outline. That's a human ass.It could be seen that it was the ass of a thick-haired and fat man.The camera circled around the man's abdomen as if he was licking the man's lower body. A close-up of the penis soon follows.The camera then slowly pans from there.Although the hands are a little wobbly, it feels very skilled. The next picture is the lips with the tip of the penis in their mouth.Saliva dripped from the corner of the mouth.Then the camera slowly revealed a full-body image, a young girl with a penis in her mouth, her face was dull. Changfeng looked at it for a long time, only to realize that the girl with the expressionless face was Ema.It may also be because for a moment, he was struggling in his heart, and he didn't want to admit that it was Tuma. He jammed his mouth because he wanted to scream.It's just that he couldn't take it anymore, so he bit his middle finger hard. Naked Ema was in a kneeling position, and the man held her head down, forcing her to serve him.Her eyes were slack, and she couldn't feel consciousness from that face at all, and she didn't even show any signs of resistance. Someone is laughing.Is it the man operating the camera?Or the man who asked Emo to serve him?Changfeng didn't know.Then the two men said something, but couldn't make out the content.Just from the tone of their speech, you can feel that they are very happy and satisfied.The screen switched again.With her legs wide open, Ema pointed her pussy at the camera.A man grabbed her upper body behind her, but she didn't resist, just like a doll, at the mercy of the man. As the camera slowly approaches her pussy, the men laugh. Changfeng couldn't take it anymore.He turned off the video tape, crouched down on the spot with his head in his arms.Although he was mentally prepared before coming here, he didn't expect it to be so painful. He shed tears.When he thinks that the relic left by his wife, the daughter who has always regarded her as more important than his own life, the only treasure in this world, is being ravaged by this kind of scum that can only be called a beast, he almost goes crazy up. Changfeng bumped his head on the floor several times, because he felt that this was the only way to keep him awake. Yet his tears continued to flow.He rubbed his face against the ground, hoping the pain would ease his grief. Just then, he saw something.He reached under the bed. There was a pale pink bathrobe hidden there.He still remembered this yukata, which Emo insisted on buying in a department store. Changfeng buried his face in the bathrobe, and tears poured out again.Although it has been stained with the smell of dust, it still feels mixed with a faint scent of shampoo. Changfeng was furious, and at the same time he felt his hands and feet getting colder and colder.Something hidden deep in his heart, something that he didn't even know, suddenly appeared in his mind.That thing pushed the sadness that was full of just now into the corner. He lifted his face from the bathrobe, stared at the TV, and turned the VCR back on. Ema showing her sexual organs reappears on the screen.But Changfeng didn't look away, he gritted his teeth and wanted to imprint this hellish picture in his mind. Hell isn't over yet.The image of Ema being raped by men clearly appeared on the screen.The men are like Nomo, they don't regard the fifteen-year-old Ema as a person at all.They put her in various positions to satisfy their ugly desires. Judging from Ema's expression, she was already unconscious.Changfeng didn't know whether it was because he was injected with drugs, or because he was in a trance due to excessive shock.But no matter what, if Emo had lost consciousness at this time, Changfeng felt better.It would be too tragic to die slowly while accepting this fact. After switching screens a few times, he collapsed to the ground, and Ema, motionless, appeared on the screen.A man slaps Ema's face, and the man operating the camera laughs.What are you doing, fell asleep—— said a man's voice while laughing. The man who patted Emo's face turned here.His expression became very serious, and his mouth was saying: Oops.Then the image disappears. Changfeng clenched his hands tightly, his nails almost sinking into his palms.He clenched his big molars as if about to make a creaking sound. Then Tuma died.He gets it.No, it was killed. What was germinating inside him made him move, his body was hot, but his head was so cold that he surprised himself. At this moment, a voice came from the mailbox in the entrance.
