The photos taken with Jiazi totaled more than 300, taking up five memory cards.Changfeng is using his computer to filter these photos one by one. It is mainly to shoot the line workers of various homestays or young guests staying at the accommodation.He Jiazi went to the homestay concentration area in Nagano Prefecture when he found time, and took pictures with a digital camera.Needless to say, this action is of course hoping to capture Kanno. The kettle that was boiling water made a "swoosh" sound, and Kako was making instant coffee in a paper cup. "It still doesn't seem to be photographed, does it?" she asked.

"No, I don't know yet, I only watched a third of it." Changfeng said, "I didn't expect you to take so many photos. Just going to these places is very hard, right?" "I can't think of any other way, so I can only press the shutter desperately. I'm sorry, I said that I will go to Kanno Kanji instead of you—" "No, I should be the one to apologize. I have no reason to ask you to do so much for me." Changfeng sat cross-legged, his body was originally facing the computer, but now he turned to He Jiazi, "This is good enough. You I am already very grateful for letting me hide here, and I still bother you so much. I dare not have extravagant hopes, please return to your original life."

"I've already intervened, there's no way I can pretend I don't know anything." "It's still too late." Changfeng looked at her, "Even if I am arrested, I will never mention you, let alone the fact that I used to live in this room." "It's not like this, don't worry about it." He Jiazi looked at Changfeng with meaningful eyes, "For Mr. Changfeng's behavior, I think I have to find my own answer. I don't want to tell you with superficial logic. No matter what the reason is, I can’t take revenge. I don’t think it’s something I’ve thought about. I can understand your feelings very well. If the same thing happens to me, I think I’ll do the same. In this case, I I should assist you first. I want to think about what is right in the process of acting with you."

Changfeng couldn't help showing a wry smile about her irrational remarks. "You are quite different. You look like any other woman, but you are actually very bold and strong-willed." "Did it trouble you?" "No." Changfeng shook his head, "I'm grateful, it's true. It's just that if you can't find Kanno in this way, if the police suddenly come one day, it will definitely bring you trouble. I'm only worried about this. " "This place will definitely not be discovered by the police, as long as I don't say anything." He Jiazi said.Her tone sounded as if she thought she had the upper hand, and Changfeng was not qualified to express dissatisfaction.

Changfeng sighed. "The police probably haven't figured out where Kanno is hiding yet?" "If it was already known, the news should report it." "No, as long as Kanno is not caught, it shouldn't be reported. But even if he is arrested, I don't know if he will report..." "why?" "Because the police also want to arrest me. So even if they catch Kanno, it is wise not to announce it to the public. In this way, I still have to continue to hide, and the police can secretly narrow the investigation network. Moreover, the police may I think that if the news of Kanno’s arrest is released, Nagamine Shigeki, who is bent on revenge, might give up on himself and do something unpredictable. They shouldn’t have the heart to see me commit suicide, right?”

He Jiazi was surprised by what Changfeng said. "If you can't take revenge... are you going to commit suicide?" "Well," Changfeng thought, "I don't know until then. It's just that now, the value of my existence is to avenge my daughter. This is a fact." "The letter you sent to the police said that if you complete your revenge, you will surrender yourself..." "Yes," Nagamine nodded, "I have this plan. If I can bury those guys, I want to live in peace while worshiping Tuma in prison. But when I really take revenge What will happen...I don't know myself."

Kazuko lowered her eyes.She felt that Changfeng should have decided to die.She didn't know what to say to such a person, and a confused expression appeared on her face. Changfeng looked at his watch. "You should go back, right? Didn't you come out to buy things?" "Oh, that's right." She looked at her watch, "Then I'll come back tomorrow." "I will continue to look at these photos you took back." After leaving with Jiazi, Changfeng locked the door and went back to the computer.The instant coffee He Jiazi made for him just now was a bit cold.

Even though he said that to Kako, Changfeng still felt that he couldn't stay here forever.He didn't want to involve people who weren't relevant in the first place—even people who helped him. But then again, what would he do if he left here?He has no purpose at all.Can I only go to a B&B?Can I just do this and look forward to meeting Kanno somewhere? He looked at the photos taken with Jiazi and thought: The possibility of Kanno being photographed here is very low.Although Kanno is a simple-minded young man, he shouldn't easily appear in crowded places, right? Changfeng looked away from the computer screen and lay down.The floor is cold and cool, which feels very comfortable.He just kept this posture, reaching out to the phone that was charging.After he turned on the power, he looked at the phone message.Since he disappeared, he has received dozens of messages.However, recently, no one has left messages for him. At most, the police will leave some command messages—such as asking him to surrender to a nearby police station.

Even so, Changfeng still listens to the message once a day.He was expecting a miracle in his heart. There is a message.Is it the police again?While wondering, he pressed the button.If the police call, he intends to delete it immediately. But when Changfeng heard the message, he gripped the phone tightly.He hastened to play it again. The content of the message is as follows. (Kaiji Kanno is likely hiding in a recently closed B&B in Nagano Prefecture, which should be not far from the highway interchange.) While writing it down, Changfeng played the message again, and his heart beat faster.

It's the man-- The miracle he was expecting was this phone call.The man who had tipped him off on who had raped Tuma had given him information again.The voice sounded indistinct as before, but it must be the same person. Last time the informer told him "please notify the police", so Changfeng thought that he might have something hidden, so he couldn't go to the police by himself.However, instead of following the informer's instructions, he chose to take revenge himself.The whistleblower should have known.So even if he had any information, he might not tell himself again, Chang Feng thought so.But even so, Changfeng was still looking forward to it, maybe the informer would tell him something more.

Closed B&B—— He didn't know why the informer was able to obtain this information, and for what purpose he was notified again.It's also a mystery.But this phone call was like a ray of light to Changfeng, who was overwhelmed by the darkness. Of course, this can also be a trap.For example, it was a trap set by the police. As long as Changfeng passed by, a large number of police forces would be found waiting.However, he felt that this possibility was very low. If he wanted to set a trap, he should be notified of a more detailed address. Just saying that it was a B&B that had just closed down was too general. And, he thought again, there was no time for him to doubt now.Rather than doing nothing and staying in this room all the time, it is better to go to a path with a little possibility. Who the hell is the informer—he wondered as he turned off the phone. As soon as He Jiazi walked into the kitchen, Long Ming looked at her in surprise. "Why so late?" "Sorry, because I went to the library to look for books." "Oh, how rare that you go to the library." "I also want to read." He Jiazi pretended to be angry, and put the vegetables he bought back into the refrigerator. At this moment, the doorbell at the entrance rang, and Jiazi and his father exchanged glances.If you are a hotel guest, you probably won't ring the bell. As soon as He Jiazi went out, he saw two uniformed police officers standing at the door.A combination of a middle-aged man and a young man.She was shocked on the spot. "Are you from here?" asked the middle-aged police officer. "Yes." He Jiazi nodded. The middle-aged police officer nodded, and he took something that looked like a leaflet from the young police officer beside him, and handed it to He Jiazi. "Have you seen this guy recently? Or have any of your guests looked like one?" After seeing the photo printed on the flyer, He Jiazi couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and kept making surprised sounds from his mouth. "Have you thought about it?" the officer asked. "No, this..." She held her breath, desperately trying to pretend to be calm, "I've seen it on TV and newspapers, this person, that..." "You really do know." The police officer's expression eased, and he nodded, "That's right, he is the suspect in the murder case in Tokyo. He wants to avenge his daughter." "Is he around here?" "No, it's not sure yet. According to Tokyo's intelligence, he is probably hiding in the prefecture, so we will go around the B&Bs in various parts of the prefecture." He Jiazi nodded without saying a word.She tried her best not to let the ups and downs in her heart show on her face. The police seem to have discovered something, and now a large number of police forces may have launched operations like this. "Can you help us post this flyer in a conspicuous place?" "Oh... good." She took it. "And this." The young police officer took out another one. There were four photos printed on it, all of which were Changfeng's headshots, but some made him wear sunglasses, and some painted a beard.Those seem to be the four representative shapes made after the hypothetical Changfeng disguised himself. Kako and Kako got goosebumps after seeing the picture of Nagaho with his hat down low — that's what Nagaho looked like when he lived here. "Then I will trouble you." The middle-aged police officer bowed his head, and the young police officer followed suit. "What's wrong?" Long Ming's voice came from behind He Jiazi, and he asked the police officers again, "Did something happen?" "It's okay, I'll tell you later." He Jiazi said. "We gave her the photo of the wanted man," said the police officer. "Please help me." "Oh, he's a wanted criminal." Long Ming reached out for the flyer in He Jiazi's hand. He Jiazi couldn't refuse, so he handed it over to Longming.She kept praying in her heart, watching her father's expression. "Oh." Long Ming stared at the flyer, "This person seems to have seen it somewhere." The two police officers who were about to leave stopped, and they turned their heads at the same time. "Really?" asked the middle-aged police officer. "Have you seen it on TV? Such a famous case." However, He Jiazi's words did not confuse Long Ming. "No, isn't this the man who lived with us? What's his name?" "Really?" The police officer jogged back, his expression changed drastically. "It looks like the truth—by the way, it's the man who came suddenly without an appointment." He confirmed to He Jiazi. "Did he bring anyone with him?" the officer asked. "No, he is alone. Thinking about it this way, he is indeed a man of unknown origin." The middle-aged police officer became excited about Long Ming's words. "Please give us the details—hello! Call back to the Bureau." The young police officer who was ordered hurriedly took out his mobile phone.
