Chapter 24 Section 24

Changfeng, who came out of the "Crescent" B&B, did not take the bus as usual, but walked to the Tateshina Ranch.But he has no goal.It might be considered a little strange to stay in the room all the time, so he had to go out first. When he woke up this morning, he felt an indescribable tiredness, and it was painful to even get out of bed.Although he went to breakfast late to avoid meeting other guests, he was still lying on the bed before the phone rang.Yesterday he was busy until two o'clock in the middle of the night in order to restore that photo.It would be great if this could comfort the woman who lost her child—he started the restoration with this kind of mood, but he didn't expect that once he started, he would sink into it unknowingly.

Maybe deep down in his heart, he also wants to get out of the current situation.This is his self-analysis.Tired of searching and being wanted with few clues, he really wanted to forget about the current situation and focus on this task—even if only for a while. The reason why he felt tired all over was not because of the homework, but because the homework was over, he had to think so.Want revenge but can't find a match - this hellish time is about to begin again. You need to give your mind and body a rest.Thinking about it carefully, since he left home, he has constantly consumed his spirit and body excessively.If it goes on like this, he will collapse.He must not fall until he finds Kaiji Kanno and takes revenge.

The "Crescent" where he lives now is a good place for him to take a breather.There are very few employees and there is no coffee shop, so there will be no other idlers waiting in and out.The biggest advantage is that as a wanted criminal, he hardly meets other people. So he wants to stay one more night.I don't know when I'll be able to take a rest in the future—no, maybe I won't even be able to take a short rest. When he asked if he could stay another night, the woman looked surprised, as if she wanted to know why.So Changfeng replied: "Because I like it here." In fact, this is also true.

Still with a confused expression on her face, she went back inside first.After making Chang Feng wait for two or three minutes, she came out with wide-eyed eyes, nodded to Chang Feng, and continued, "No problem." Maybe there are very few guests like him, Changfeng thought.It was rare for a middle-aged man to stay alone, but now he suddenly said that he wanted to stay an extra night, she might be confused. The closer you get to Tateshina Ranch, the more people you see traveling with families in Changfeng.After discovering that today was the last Sunday of summer vacation, he understood.That's why there will be guests of all sizes coming to stay in the homestay.

There are shops selling drinks and ice cream, and there are parasols lined up in front of the door. Some people are resting under the umbrellas, and some men are drinking beer.There are also many couples, and everyone looks very happy. Changfeng bought Coke from the vending machine, and then sat down on a bench a little further away.The people around must have never dreamed that there was a wanted murderer sitting next to them. Although it is a summer resort, the sun is still strong, and it will probably be very hot today.Changfeng adjusted the position of the sunglasses.The capped head was terribly stuffy.But this is of course, with the addition of a wig, his head is equivalent to two layers of things.He wanted to go where no one was looking and take the wig off.

Speaking of which, what should he do next—— It's about time to start thinking about something that worries him.Changfeng held the Coke in one hand and began to think. Why did Kaiji Kanno want to come to a homestay in Nagano in the first place?Banzaki also said Kanno had "escaped" before dying.In other words, Kanno knew he had to escape.Since Changfeng hadn't launched revenge at that time, he probably meant to hide from the police. Would you choose Nagano because it is more suitable for escape?Or is it that he can't think of other places?In any case, Nagano should be a very special place for Kanno.

But, could it be that he has relatives in Nagano or something?Changfeng thought.However, if this is the case, the police should have guessed that there is a direct connection with Kanno, and at this time, Kanno must have been arrested.The possibility of living or working in the past is also very low. How did the police investigate Kanno's hiding place?First of all, you must ask his relatives and friends.It has not been found so far, which means that Kanno is hiding in a place that these people can't think of. No-- His parents may not necessarily tell the truth.If they knew their son's whereabouts, no matter what the police asked, they would keep silent, wouldn't they?It's not that I want my son to escape, but I hope that my son can turn himself in before being arrested by the police.No matter what kind of child, it must be cute in the eyes of parents.Even if they grow up to become heinous people, their parents will be like the woman in the homestay, obsessed with remembering their cute appearance when they were young, and even distorting their own conscience.

Nagamine remembered the scene when he killed Banzaki.That beast also had parents.According to news reports, his parents rented a house to him so that he could study and take the university qualification examination.What absurdity!Let such a person live alone, how could he study obediently?Most likely his parents let him leave home to get out of trouble.The media also reported that he seemed to be violent towards his parents at home. As a result, it caused trouble for others, and it can only be said that his parents gave up their responsibilities.According to media reports, Atsuya Banzaki's parents were interviewed as parents who had suffered tragedy when their son's body was found.However, when Banzaki's usual bad behavior was exposed, and the police suspected that he was seeking revenge, his parents suddenly disappeared.Of course, because they had told the police where they lived, several reporters also found them.However, I heard that their attitude has not changed and they refused to be interviewed.Instead of apologizing to the girls who were sexually abused by their sons, they just emphasized that they were bereaved parents.

After seeing these reports, Nagamine's conscience for killing Banzaki Atsuya disappeared.However, he still feels that he has done a meaningless thing, and the feeling of futility is even stronger.If he could see his parents blaming themselves, Changfeng might feel a little bit sad, and feel that he seems to have gotten some compensation. Maybe Kanno's parents are the same!The police must have told his parents how much bad things his son had done outside.As far as the results are concerned, they should already know that Kanno, like Banzaki, has become the target of the murderer.Even so, the parents did not want their sons arrested.No matter how logical explanations were given to them, they must still be unwilling to admit that their son is a bad person who is going to be hunted down, and they will not believe that their son has been targeted by the murderer.

It is because of such parents that there are parents who have encountered such regrets like him, Changfeng thought.More than ten years ago, they should all stand on the same standpoint of being parents, hugging the newborn child, and looking forward to what kind of person they will raise the child. Unforgivable - neither himself nor his parents.Changfeng stood up from the bench and crushed the Coke can in his hand. But how to find Kanno?After searching for these days, Chang Feng finally realized that his actions were no different from finding a needle in a haystack. "—Hey! Kazuko."

The cry made Kazuko look up.In the living room, she spread out the weekly magazine and stared in a daze. Long Ming, wearing a straw hat, stood there with a surprised expression on his face. "What are you in a daze for? Didn't you hear my voice? I knocked on the window several times." "Ah, I'm sorry." He Jiazi closed the magazine.There was a special report on the murder case in Adachi Ward, which was left by the customer. Long Ming was probably pulling weeds outside the house.There must be something wrong, so I wanted to knock on the window and call Kazuko in the house. "Is there a problem?" "No, it's already done." Long Ming took off the towel hanging around his neck, and walked into the kitchen while wiping his sweat.He was going to look for something to drink. Holding the weekly magazine in her hand, Kazuo stood up.On the other side of the open kitchen door, she vaguely saw Long Ming's figure.There was the sound of switching on and off the refrigerator. She was hesitating whether to tell her father that at breakfast, he saw Yoshikawa's face again, and felt that he looked like Shigeki Nagabe.After seeing the photos published in the weekly magazine and reconfirming, the opinion that the two of them are the same person deepened. Long Ming walked out using his straw hat as a fan to fan the wind. "Mr. Yoshikawa, do you want to stay another night? I have registered in the reservation form." "Yes, he just told me suddenly this morning..." "Well, maybe the itinerary has changed!" "I don't know about that either. He seems to like our place very much." "Really? That would be great." Long Ming nodded and walked out.He didn't seem to think Yoshikawa's guest was suspicious at all. Kazuko can't say anything about Yoshikawa anyway.Do you want to call the police yourself?She couldn't make up her mind either.Now, she found that she just wanted to silently watch Yoshikawa check out and get out of here.Even if he was bound to be arrested someday, she hoped it was somewhere else.It's not because He Jiazi doesn't want to be involved in such troubles, but because she doesn't want to destroy Changfeng's hope of betting her life with her own hands. Tadano came down from the second floor. "The room has been cleaned, so you don't need to worry about room 202?" Room 202 was Yoshikawa's room.That's what Kazuko instructed just now. "Yes, thank you." "Then if there is anything else, please call me." After Tadano finished speaking, he put the master key in front of Kako and went out. She looked at the skeleton keys.The rooms here still use the old-fashioned cylinder locks.Long Ming once said: People who can pick locks should not come to live here. As long as you use the master key, you can enter any room, and room 202 is the same. He shouldn't be back until night— Now is a good time, He Jiazi thought.Although the appearance is similar, it is not certain that Yoshikawa is Nagamine Shigeki, maybe it is just an inexplicable resemblance.If so, isn't she just asking for trouble?If you want to worry, you have to wait until you figure it out before worrying.And the way to make the truth come out is here. He Jiazi picked up the master key and walked to the corridor.Her heart beat faster and faster. She tiptoed up the stairs even though it wasn't necessary.For ventilation, the doors of almost all the rooms are open, except the door of Room 202 is closed. He Jiazi stood in front of the door and inserted the key into the keyhole.Her fingers trembled and metal clattered.With a click, the lock opened. After taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door. The room will not be messy.One of the two beds looked like it hadn't been used at all.The travel bag sits in the corner of the room, and the laptop sits on the table. He Jiazi opened the bag tremblingly, and there were only simple changes of clothes and toilet utensils in it, and there were no notebooks or ID cards. Her eyes are on the computer.He should have used this computer to restore her photos.Thinking of this, she felt that she shouldn't do such a thing. She turned on the computer, hesitated, and finally turned on the power.The period of time before the system started felt extremely long to her. How to determine his true identity?The way Kazuko came up with was to read emails.Don't look at the content, just check what signature he used when sending the mail. However, He Jiazi has never used other people's computers, so she doesn't know how to start the mail software.In desperation, she had no choice but to click on the icons on the desktop one by one. When she clicked on one of the icons, the feeling of the whole screen suddenly changed.Not long after, an image appeared on the screen. Oops, clicked on a strange thing—— Although she wanted to stop the video quickly, she didn't know how to do it.When she was in a hurry, the images were projected bit by bit. Then, a shocking picture appeared. At first, Kazuo thought it was just a pornographic video.But after carefully looking at the projected image, she felt that it was not that kind of thing. A young girl was sexually assaulted by two men.The girl was limp and powerless, and her face was expressionless.Men are ravaging girls like this.Just looking at this unpleasant image made Kazuka nauseous. He Jiazi finally found the operation panel, and then clicked to stop the screen, and turned off the power of the computer by the way.The uncomfortable feeling didn't go away. When she slammed the computer shut, something flashed through her mind. The image I saw just now, could it be Yoshikawa, no, it’s the scene when Shigeki Nagamine’s daughter was sexually assaulted——
