After seeing off two groups of guests who had checked out, He Jiazi flipped through a magazine in the corner of the living room.That is what the housing agency sends every month, and it collects information on villas, storefronts, homestays and other objects.Changfeng also seems to use the Internet to collect information in this regard, but this magazine publishes a lot of information that is not available on the Internet. He Jiazi had never read this magazine so seriously before.For bosses who are ambitious and want to expand their careers, this may be a piece of information of great reference value.But to her, it seemed like nothing to do with her.Long Ming is also satisfied as long as he has "Crescent" - because he has no spare energy to expand his career territory.

When He Jiazi tried to read the magazine again, she found that there were not many homestays for sale.In the past, many shops were forced to close down due to recession, but the remaining buildings might not be able to sell much, Kazuko thought.If it was "Crescent", what would she do?She felt that it would not be possible to sell it directly like this.Because the house is damaged everywhere, it will cost a lot of money to repair it if it is to be reopened, and it may be cheaper to rebuild it.In this way, the meaning of buying medieval objects will be lost. The abandoned homestay where Kanno is hiding may be such a building that cannot be sold.In this way, no matter how much you look at this kind of information, it is a waste of effort.

Her heart was terrified.While flipping through the magazine, she suddenly saw something.It was a column introducing second-hand stores. There is a photo of a white Western-style building, which looks boxy and monotonous.There seems to be a forest in the distance, but the building does not seem to be located in a dense forest.In front of the building is the parking lot, and there is a sign beside it. The problem is in the remarks column, it says that the owner operated a homestay here at the end of last year. Confirmed the location with Jiazi, it was in Komoro City's Jizi Peak, which seemed to be near the peak plateau. She looked at the traffic sign, and it said that it would take about fifteen minutes to get down from the Komoro Interchange.

He Jiazi knew that the intermediary business wanted to sell it as a store, so he emphasized that it was not very far from the main road.They must have thought that changing it to a coffee shop or a restaurant would be a better deal, and judging from the photos alone, it really doesn't look like a leisurely homestay. It is about fifteen minutes from Komoro Interchange, which is about ten kilometers. This is very suitable, He Jiazi thought, so he folded the page. But at this moment—— "Why are you looking so intently?" A voice came from behind her.Long Ming, who was wearing an apron, came over.

"It's nothing, it's just to pass the time." She quickly closed the magazine. But this action caught Long Ming's attention even more, and he turned his attention to the magazine. "How? Are you interested in real estate?" "Didn't I say I was killing time?" He Jiazi stood up, "It's almost time, I'm going to go shopping." She wanted to pick up the magazine, but Long Ming was one step ahead of her and opened the magazine, which happened to be the page she had folded. "B&B in Gaofeng Plateau? What do you want to do with this?"

"There's nothing to do, it's just that I kind of like the design of the building." "Design? It's just an inconspicuous building!" "I think the combination of the color of the outer wall and the roof is very interesting. We are about to repaint it, so I want to refer to it." He Jiazi snatched the magazine back from his father, "Also, Dad, No. 203 The bed in the room creaks, have you fixed it? Someone wrote it in last week's customer review card." "That was fixed the day before yesterday, so don't bother me anymore."

"I didn't bother you." "You've been acting weird lately, as long as you go out, you won't come back. Did something happen to Danzig's family?" "No. If something happens, how can I hold my breath." "Is it about the Changfeng suspect? That's over, and the police said they won't be investigating again." "This is the best." He Jiazi walked out of the living room with the magazine, and walked directly to the entrance.She really wanted to know what kind of expression Long Ming had, but she didn't dare to look back.

Once outside, he got into his car and started the engine immediately.When she looked behind in the rear mirror, she saw her father standing at the window of the hotel looking out.Long Ming's expression was obviously full of suspicion, and he kept watching her car leave. It should not have been discovered, He Jiazi thought, but still felt a little uneasy. When the criminal police came before, she lied and said that she had hardly talked with Changfeng.Long Ming seems to be very concerned about this matter.He knew that Changfeng had taught He Jiazi how to use a computer, and he also found that they had a long chat in the middle of the night.

She should be careful not to act unnaturally, but she has a last resort.She can't think of any other place to hide Changfeng except Songyuan's mansion, and if she doesn't act, Changfeng will act casually, which is even more dangerous. Even if it's unnatural, she can only cover it up - He Jiazi has made up her mind. As soon as she arrived at Matsumoto's building, she rang the bell.But nothing happens.He Jiazi felt very uneasy again, she clearly told Changfeng to try not to go out if he had nothing to do. But when she was about to press it for the second time, there was a loud clang, the sound of the town being opened, and the door opened.From the crack of the door, he could see the unshaven Changfeng, and He Jiazi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were out." "Sorry, I was going to the bathroom just now." He Jiazi nodded and walked into the room.She saw the golf bag in the corner lying upside down on the ground. There was a black and thin stick-like thing that seemed to be hidden under the bag, and there were some parts. He Jiazi found out that Changfeng was maintaining the gun just now, saying that going to the toilet should be a lie. "I brought Chinese food." He Jiazi looked away from the golf bag, and gave Changfeng the bento and drinks bought on the road just now. "I'm sorry to trouble you every time." Chang Feng took it over, "Did you watch TV yesterday?"

"television?" Changfeng put the food by the window, and then took out a small LCD TV.It was the first time He Jiazi had seen such a thing. "I still need a TV to collect information, so I hurried to buy one. I wanted to buy a bigger one, but it's not easy to carry." "Did you pay by credit card?" He Jiazi was more concerned about this than the size of the TV, so she probably wouldn't be noticed by the clerk. "I use cash because it's not very expensive. By the way, there was a very interesting program yesterday. It was a debate between a lawyer who protested against "Focus Weekly" and the head of the magazine. Did you watch it?" He Jiazi shook his head and said no. "What are they arguing about?" "Anyway, we can't discuss why." Changfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "That kind of program should be scripted. It's not so much that both parties have stated correct remarks, it's better to say that they are just irrelevant. The opinion of the weekly magazine did not answer the report method that does not respect the right to privacy, and what impact it has on society; while the side that defends the juvenile law only Wei emphasized the fact that juvenile offenders must be rehabilitated. " "That's not pretty at all, is it?" "But they invited the victim's father as a guest. I am a little interested in that person. I also felt it when I read "Focus Weekly". He was the same as me. Our daughter was sexually assaulted by Banzaki and others. Wondering what he's thinking now. He barely spoke on the show yesterday, though." "Is it the father whose daughter committed suicide?" "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be in the mood to go on that kind of show at all, so I want to know how he sorts out his emotions." "He should be suffering too—even now." He Jiazi expressed his thoughts directly, "It's just that he didn't know what to do, so he thought he could at least express his feelings through the TV." Changfeng nodded slightly. "Maybe so!" Changfeng put the TV back in place. He Jiazi took out a real estate agency magazine, "Look at this." "what is this?" "From my point of view, I think it meets the requirements, but I haven't been to the scene to see it, and I don't know what the actual situation is." After she finished speaking, she opened the pre-folded page. Changfeng's eyes became terrifying. "Peak Plateau—Which area is it?" "It's at the junction of Nagano and Gunma prefectures. Even so, it's almost in Gunma prefecture, not too far from Komoro Interchange." "It should be. It's not very far from the line, and it might be a good place for Kanno to hide." "But the advertisement is so big, the real estate agent should visit it frequently, right?" "No, after seeing so many homestays, I don't think this is necessarily the case. Many homestays are very sloppy in management, anyway, I have to take a look. I'm leaving tonight." "How do you want to get there?" He Jiazi asked, "I look at this map, it's hard to get there without driving." "I take a taxi." He Jiazi shook his head. "You can't get a taxi in that kind of place. If you go to Karuizawa, it's fine, but you will definitely be suspected." Changfeng fell into silence, as if he thought what He Jiazi said was true. "I'll go with you too, you tell me the time, and I'll pick you up when the time comes." "No, but..." "You can't go there by yourself!" He Jiazi stared at Changfeng, "I think even the car rental company has Mr. Changfeng's photo." "Then can you borrow my car? I'm going from here alone—" "I refuse." He Jiazi replied immediately, "Because it's unnatural, right? Do you think it won't cause us any trouble? You're driving my car." Chang Feng was speechless again, his brows were deeply furrowed. "I understand, let's do this! Please drive me to the hotel, and I will walk in from there." "Then?" "If there's nothing there, I'll go back to the car. Sorry, wait for me until then, please." "Then what if Kanno is there?" He Jiazi asked nervously. "I will complete the revenge plan." Changfeng replied, looking into her eyes. "I must take revenge, and I will notify the police later. No, I will notify you before that, and you have to leave the scene immediately. I stay at the scene and wait for the police to come. After I am arrested, I think they will definitely question me before Where are you hiding? How did you get there? But I will never tell you your name, nor will I tell you this room." Changfeng's tone is very calm, but it also means that he has already made up his mind, and He Jiazi doesn't know how to refute. "I see, what time should I pick you up?" Changfeng looked at his watch. "I want to wait until the sky is a little darker before going out. It's better around seven o'clock! But isn't there a job at your homestay?" "I will find a way about work, and I will find an excuse to come out." Although He Jiazi thought that if this happened, her father might suspect her again and felt very uneasy, but she still said firmly. "Then please seven o'clock, I will be ready before then." He Jiazi nodded, she thought that the so-called preparation should refer to the maintenance of guns! After walking out of the room, Kako couldn't help but let out a long sigh.She felt as if she had stepped into a bottomless cave, and a terrifying atmosphere surrounded her.The only time to turn back is now, she thought.Even if she said it now, Changfeng wouldn't blame her! But she knew in her heart that if she escaped, she would regret it for the rest of her life.No matter what, she had to go with Changfeng, and let him reach the homestay safely.If Kanno was there, even with her own body—she would have to stop Nagamine from taking revenge.
