Chapter 22 Section 22

Back in the room, Changfeng took out the laptop from his bag, turned on the power, and lit a cigarette while waiting for the computer to start up. The underarms of the shirt stink of sweat.After he noticed it, he took off his shirt directly with a cigarette in his mouth.Sweat broke out all over his body. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.He originally wanted to take a shower first, but decided to wait until the last moment.He wished he could wash his hair today, and for that he had to take off his wig.If someone happened to come into the bathhouse at that time, it would be troublesome.

He brought the computer here for several reasons.One of the reasons is that he felt that it might be possible to use the Internet to gather intelligence.But in fact, things related to the case can be known clearly just by watching TV and mobile phones.So actually, he hasn't used a computer for that reason. The computer turns on.Changfeng clicked one of the icons displayed on the screen, and the entire screen switched to animation display mode. The video that started playing was something Changfeng didn't want to see again.In other words, it is a picture of Ema being raped by two men.When he left home, he saved the contents of the tape into this computer.

Changfeng stared at the picture intently, with the cigarette between his fingers.It was an image that he couldn't get used to no matter how many times he watched it, it would only deepen his despair and hatred.It was an image that he didn't want to see anymore, but he had to. This is the biggest reason why Changfeng brought the computer.No matter when and where, he would look at this nightmarish image.In addition to wanting to firmly remember the face of Kaiji Kanno, he also had to encourage his cowardly self through this image. The close-up photo of Kanno Kaiji's face was also cut from this screen.Changfeng ran around with that photo, looking for a homestay.

But nothing came of it today.He asked a total of nearly 20 homestays, but he didn't get any information about the accommodation or work of people like Kaiji Kanno. What should we do after tomorrow?To be honest, he couldn't do anything about it.Can you really find Kaiji Kanno with the current search method?He has no confidence at all.And he was also worried that if he continued to search like this, someone would report to the police one day. Today the letter has been released on TV, so Chang Feng's face appears on TV more frequently.If the TV station broadcasts it repeatedly, no matter how poor the memory is, people with poor memory will slowly imprint his face in their minds.It's only a matter of time before he finds out that the person who asks these strange questions is a murderer who wants to avenge his daughter.

But is there any other way - Changfeng put the disk into the computer, and then saved the images on the hard disk.Then he opened the software for photo processing and used this software to retouch the photos. Three parents and children smiling happily in the shrine grounds.The woman at the homestay looks plumper than she is now. She should be her husband's man. He is a handsome man in a suit.The boy in the middle making a V gesture is wearing a plaid top, shorts and white half socks. She said she fell off a slide in the park, and her son died just like that.Changfeng couldn't continue to ask, but he couldn't believe that such a thing really happened.She said it was because her parents were careless, but what exactly was the situation?

In any case, she must have been very sad at the time - Changfeng can imagine it now.I don't know if this happened a few years ago, but I'm afraid the wound in her heart hasn't healed yet.Thinking about it this way, Long Bee could understand why when she smiled gracefully, there was still a sad look in the depths of her eyes. Changfeng put on reading glasses, used software tools, and began to carefully restore the photos.Removing scratches from the background and parts of the clothes is fine, but removing scratches from the face is something to worry about.Because if the person's appearance changes, it doesn't make any sense.

Why do you want to do these things for this woman who doesn't even know her name?Changfeng himself didn't know.He was really sorry that he didn't know that the child in the photo had passed away, and asked so rudely.Also, it is true that he feels sympathy for the woman who also lost her child.But it's more than that.If it was only for these reasons, he would not want to do such a troublesome job. Maybe it's because he wants to get the immunity talisman, Changfeng thought.No matter what the reason was, killing could not be justified, and he knew that.Guilt does not go away after doing the unforgivable.

In order to overcome his guilt, he could only repeat the mantra "This is for Tuma".That is to say, he has no other choice but to take the natural position of parents thinking of their children.And because this idea supported his heart, he couldn't silently watch the B&B, a woman who had lost her child, ignore her. If she knew that Changfeng repaired the photo with such a mood, she might not be happy even if the photo came out well, Changfeng thought. It was almost eleven o'clock, but there was still the sound of someone entering the bathroom.Coming to the corridor, He Jiazi, who originally planned to lock the bathroom door and window, returned to her room disappointed.The bathing time was eleven o'clock at the latest, but she didn't want to rush the guests who were getting comfortable in the bath.And that guest might be Yoshikawa.After returning to the homestay, he probably hasn't taken a shower yet, because he has been running around all day looking for someone, so He Jiazi wants him to take a leisurely bath.

Yet she only waited a few minutes.As if taking a battle bath, Kako heard the voice of a guest coming out. After Kako walked out of the room, he saw Yoshikawa buying canned beer in front of the vending machine in the corridor.Chang Feng, who was wrapped in a towel on his head, turned back again and again as if surprised for some reason when he saw He Jiazi. "What's wrong?" He Jiazi asked. "No, it's nothing." He took the washbasin behind him with one hand, and pressed the towel wrapped in his hair with one hand, "Sorry for taking a shower so late." "No, it's okay. Is the water still hot?"

"The water temperature is just right, very comfortable, and I almost fell asleep." "That would be great." Although she wondered if taking a battle bath would really make her want to doze off, she still answered. "Just now I have started to restore the photos, it should be no problem." Yoshikawa said. "Really? It's a pleasure, but please don't push too hard." "It's actually not that troublesome, so please don't take it to heart. See you tomorrow then." "Good night." After saying good night, Yoshikawa left with a beer.After watching him leave, He Jiazi went to the bathroom.

Who exactly does she look like——He Jiazi has been thinking about it.It is definitely not the people around me, but people who have seen it in other forms, such as watching it on TV, but it should not be a certain artist. Maybe it's just an illusion, He Jiazi thought.It is the first time I visit a place, but I feel that I have been there before. There are many such cases.It's called déjà vu.Maybe that's what it feels like. Anyway, He Jiazi only thinks that person is a good person.Although she has no idea how difficult it is to remove the scratches on the photo, it must take a lot of work, and most people probably won't volunteer to help. Maybe he likes kids, or maybe he respects people with kids more than normal.Maybe he went looking for the missing child, and it wasn't all for money. After closing the doors and windows of the bathroom and finishing cleaning, He Jiazi planned to go back to the room.However, when she passed the vending machine just now, she subconsciously glanced at the hole where the change was made, and then stopped. After reaching out to touch it, she found that there was still change left there.Maybe Yoshikawa forgot to take it. She hesitated for a while, and finally decided to send it to Yoshikawa's room.From the tone of his voice just now, he probably hasn't planned to go to bed yet. She went up the stairs and lightly knocked on the door of the room where Yoshikawa lived.There was an immediate response from inside. "Did you forget to take the change from the vending machine?" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the other party say "ah" in surprise, and the door opened in response.Yoshikawa poked his head out, wearing glasses, with the towel still wrapped around his head. "Your money." He Jiazi handed over the change.After Yoshikawa said thank you, he took it. "I happened to be editing photos, and I thought it would be fine in a second," Yoshikawa said. "Thank you." He Jiazi stared at Yoshikawa while thanking her. Yoshikawa seemed a little surprised and said, "What's wrong?" "Oh, it's nothing." He Jiazi quickly shook his hands, "I'm sorry, because you wear glasses." "This?" He smiled wryly and took off his glasses, "Presbyopia. If you don't have this, you won't be able to see fine details." "Please don't tire your eyes too much." "it does not matter." After they said good night, Yoshikawa closed the door.He Jiazi left from the front of the house. But when she stepped on the stairs, a light suddenly flashed into her mind. This light illuminated the depths of her memory that she wanted to see but couldn't see clearly. What emerged from it was a TV picture. It is the scene of a funeral.A bereaved man is greeting everyone.He was reading a prepared script, then his bespectacled face looked up and his eyes filled with tears. This is the image she saw recently.What kind of funeral was it— Kako gasped.She realized it was a video she had seen a few times on a news talk show.It was the incident where the father was chasing and killing the murderer in order to avenge his raped and murdered daughter.When introducing the father in the program, the images taken at the daughter's funeral will be used.Maybe it's because of this that he can express his regret more deeply. Changfeng... What's the name below? He Jiazi walked down the stairs slowly.She felt that if she walked too fast, her feet seemed to lose control.Her heart beat faster and she was sweating coldly. After walking to the living room, she spread out yesterday's and today's newspapers.When he is wanted, his photo should be published in the newspaper. There it was--and it wasn't long before she found it.A frontal photo of a man with the words "Suspect Shigeki Nagamine" written underneath. He Jiazi stared at the photo.Sure enough.After she saw Yoshikawa, she always felt that he looked like a certain person, and it turned out to be this person.Although the hairstyle is different, Nagamine Shigeki in the photo is also unshaven, but if he had a beard, it should be exactly the same. Is Yoshikawa Shigeki Nagamine? It's also possible his long hair is a wig.Kazuko knew that there were wigs for men.After taking a shower, he wrapped a towel around his head. Could it be to cover up his short hair? And his actions are also suspicious.Although he wanted to find a young man, that person was actually the target of his revenge. Kazuko's hand holding the newspaper began to tremble.She put away the newspaper and hurried back to her room.Although the work of checking whether the doors and windows are all closed is not finished, but she can't think so much now. She turned on the TV and sat down in front of it.She wants to confirm whether Yoshikawa is really Nagamine Shigeki first, because it is difficult to judge based on the photos in the newspaper.Unfortunately, none of the TV stations were broadcasting the news. If it is really Shigeki Nagamine, what should I do—— Of course the police should be called, right?No, maybe the police should be called now.Just because it looks like Shigeki Nagamine, this information is very valuable.Even if they make a mistake, the police will not do anything, and Yoshikawa should not be angry. It seems that no one has discovered it except her.This is also a matter of course, because Yoshikawa hardly allows himself to meet other people face to face.This also seems to show that he is a wanted criminal. You must let Long Ming know first.He should be able to judge the follow-up processing. However, Kazuko did not stand up.She found herself hesitating whether to tell her father.Long Ming will call the police immediately, right?Then after a while, the police will come to confirm the authenticity of the matter.If Yoshikawa is Shigeki Nagamine, he will be arrested on the spot; if not, it will be treated as a joke, and Kako and the others will have no loss. But is this really possible—— Something invisible pressed Kako on the seat, who was about to stand up.
