When the rental car driven by Oribe was only a few kilometers away from the Komoro Interchange, Mano's cell phone rang. "Hey... oh, it's Kondo." From Mano's answer, Oribe found out that the caller was a detective from the same team. "...What? I see. We are about to reach Xiaozhu Exchange, and I think we can get there in about twenty minutes." Hearing Mano's answer, Oribe looked aside from time to time.Because he felt that the senior's tone of voice seemed to be a little nervous. "...Well, Oribe knows the location, so please wait a little longer." After hanging up the phone, Manano sighed. "Kondo and the others have already arrived near the B&B, and they still inquired about it. Although it is nearby, because there is no house near the B&B, it seems that there is a distance from the B&B."

"Did you ask anything?" "He showed Kanno's photo to the convenience store clerk, and I heard that the other party had seen Kanno about twice." Oribe gripped the steering wheel even harder. "It should be possible to catch him!" "I don't know yet. It's just that I told them to wait until we arrive before going into the homestay together. It seems that the real estate agent hasn't arrived yet." "Have you reported it to the team leader?" "I have reported it. The team leader said that once we find Kanno, we will arrest him on the spot."

Oribe took a deep breath.He felt as if he was finally going through a long tunnel. Oribe once contacted the intermediary business in charge of selling the homestay. At that time, the responsible person was not there, so he didn't know the details, but the person who answered the phone told him that there was nothing unusual so far, but he didn't know who was in charge. How often do people go on tour. Judging from the tone of the person who answered the phone, Oribe felt that no one had visited for at least a month or two. When approaching the Komoro Interchange exit, Oribe slowed down the car.

When you get off the interchange from the expressway, continue to follow the instructions of the satellite navigation system.They had entered the location of the homestay into the satellite navigation system before departure. Go through Asama Industrial Road, turn right after passing through two tunnels, and go around like this After the circle, walk just above the tunnel you just walked through.Now they were driving uphill, and they saw the sign of Xiaomoro Youth Home. "It's there." Mano said. "I heard from Kondo that it's near there." They looked at the building that looked like a gymnasium, passed in front of them, and stopped the car after driving about a hundred meters.Mano took out his phone.

"Hi! I'm Mano. Now I've passed the youth home... I know." Mano didn't hang up the phone, and said to Oribe, "Go a little further and slow down." Oribe started the car as Mano said.So I saw a white van parked on the side of the road ahead. "Park behind that car." After Mano finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Oribe stopped the car, and two men got out of the van.One is Kondo, and the other Oribe doesn't know each other. "Hello, this is the intermediary in charge of selling that homestay. I asked him to bring the key." Kondo said to Mano.

Mano said to the man, "I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask you to come here." "No, it doesn't matter." The man in the intermediary business said while rolling his eyes: "We are just helping the owner find a buyer, and he didn't entrust us to manage it. The key is left to us for safekeeping, and it's just convenient for us to show the buyer. room……." Maano smiled wryly. "We don't blame you." "Really? No, if there's something wrong, I'm wondering what to do..." "Have you notified the owner?" "I called him on the cell phone just now. He is currently living in Tokyo, so there is no way to rush over immediately. He said that everything will be handled by the police."

Mano nodded. "Did you come here by car?" "Yes, I drove the company car." "Then please go to the car and wait, please don't turn off your phone." After the man replied "I see", he left in a panic. Mano looked at Kondo. "Where is the homestay?" "It's not far ahead, I think it's better to walk." "Is anyone watching?" "There is Inoue here." Kondo said the name of a young police officer. The three of them started walking down the narrow path, the sun had fully set, and Kondo was carrying a flashlight.

"That's the building." Kondo said, pointing to the front. About twenty meters ahead, there was a square gray building.It looks like a Western-style building, but there is nothing unique about the appearance.Oribe felt that it was more like a cafe than a hotel. Another detective, Inoue, was standing by the wall smoking a cigarette.When he spotted Oribe and the others, he slightly raised his hand in greeting. "How is it?" Mano asked. "There's nothing special about it, but it's a bit suspicious." "why?" "I looked inside the building, and the glass window has been broken, just where the door lock can be opened, and it is covered with wooden boards."

Mano frowned and nodded two or three times. "Is anyone in there?" "Sometimes it feels like I can hear something, but I'm not sure, maybe it's the wind!" Mano rubbed his chin and looked at the juniors. "Anyway, let's go in and take a look." Kondo answered "yes," and Oribe and Inoue agreed. Kondo, who was holding the key, walked in front, and the other three followed.Oribe felt his armpits begin to sweat. When Kondo was about to insert the key into the keyhole of the gun, Oribe heard music, the sound was small and unclear.But since there is silence all around, others should be able to hear it too.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. "It's the phone ringing." Oribe whispered. "It seems to come from inside." Kondo whispered. Noo extended his hand to Kondo. "I'll pick the lock, you and Inoue go around to the back." He Jiazi's heart beat faster and faster.She unconsciously slammed on the accelerator. It would be terrible if she was caught for speeding in a place like this. She tried desperately to calm herself down. After descending from Xiaozhu Exchange Road, he entered the Asama Industrial Road.They're already at the start of the map, go through the two tunnels and turn right.

Changfeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, has been silent since just now, and has been looking out the window of the car. Of course, he only has revenge in his head!I don't know if Kanno is hiding in the closed homestay they are going to now, but Kazuko feels an indescribable uneasiness.She knew that there was no way back, but she had a feeling that something was about to happen. You can already see the tunnel in front of you. After passing through one tunnel, there is another tunnel a little further ahead. Then turn right at the fork and you will not be far from your destination. but-- After the car turned right, Kako saw something unbelievable when she was about to go uphill.She stepped on the brake quickly. Chang Feng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly put his hands in front of him. "What's wrong?" He Jiazi couldn't answer, but kept looking ahead. A car was parked on the shoulder of the road, it was a gray car, a car familiar to Jiazi.There was a man standing by the car, staring at them. "He is..." Long Bee said, "Your father." Kazuko's mind was in turmoil.Why did Long Ming appear here?She has no idea.Her mind was in turmoil, and she put her hand on the gear lever and tried to reverse the car. But at this time Changfeng held her hand from above, and she looked at Changfeng in shock, but Changfeng smiled. "How can you reverse the car in this kind of place?" "but……" When He Jiazi was still unable to answer, Changfeng suddenly opened the door and got out of the car.He walked towards Long Ming, and Jia Zi hurriedly chased after him. Long Ming glanced at Changfeng for a while, then stared at He Jiazi all the time.Even though Nagamine and Kazuko were standing in front of him, his posture remained unchanged. "Father...why did you come here?" He Jiazi asked in a hoarse voice. "In order to stop you, I thought how is it possible, but it turned out to be like this! You put him in Matsumoto's mansion." "Please don't blame her." Changfeng said, "She just sympathizes with me, and I should have refused more forcefully." "Mr. Changfeng," Long Ming finally looked at him, "I also sympathize with you, and I want to help you. But I can't help you kill, and I can't let my daughter do it." "Yes, of course." Changfeng turned to He Jiazi, "Thank you, I can walk from here alone, I have said many times before, even after I am arrested, I will never mention you, I You can swear." She shook her head, then looked at her father. "Dad, did you call the police?" Long Ming frowned. "How could I call the police! My daughter may be the murderer's helper, how can I say this?" "Then the police won't come here?" "Yes, I should not come here." "Dad, why are you waiting here?" "Because... I guessed it from your expression. You have seen the advertisement of the real estate agency! So I used the map to check, thinking that if I wait here, you should show up!" Sure enough, Long Ming found out, He Jiazi thought to himself.When the detectives said they were going to find the closed B&B, Long Ming had a strange expression. "Let me take Mr. Changfeng to the front." He Jiazi said to his father, "After I let Mr. Changfeng get off the car, I will go home immediately. Just this time, even if I didn't meet you here, I planned to do so .” "no!" "Please!" "If I say no, I just can't. Go back now!" Long Ming's tone became very anxious, "I advise Mr. Changfeng that you should surrender yourself as soon as possible. Please believe me that this is for your own good." "Thank you, I know." Changfeng bowed his head to Long Ming, and then turned back to He Jiazi's car. After he took out his golf bag and luggage bag, he returned to He Jiazi's father and daughter again, "I'll walk over here, Because the distance is not very far." "No! It's too eye-catching." He Jiazi shook his head, but Changfeng smiled and said: "At this time, no one will pass by." Then he saluted Long Ming again, "I'm sorry to trouble you. Goodbye." Then he started to walk towards the ramp. He Jiazi wanted to chase him, but Long Ming held out his right hand to stop her. "I never thought of helping him get revenge. As soon as I find the other party, I want to ask the other party to apologize to him first. I plan to prevent Chang Feng from taking revenge." "Then who will do it? Everyone is like Dad. Although they sympathize with him, they hide away because they are afraid of trouble. It is best not to cause such troubles and live an ordinary life. It's just self-satisfaction!" "He Jiazi!" Long Ming grabbed her arm. "let me go!" Long Ming's eyes were mixed with confusion and hesitation.He licked his lips, looked down, and looked at her face. "There are police." "There are policemen in the B&B in front. I heard the conversations between the policemen and them. It seems that I don't know if a young man is hiding inside." "dad……" "Go and tell him, and then—" Long Ming continued with a sigh, "take him to the nearby station, but you have to come back from there immediately. I may be timid and cowardly, but I will not lose my love for my daughter To that guy." He Jiazi took a deep breath, and Long Ming let go of her arm. "Thank you." After saying this, He Jiazi ran to her car.
