Chapter 43 Section 43

After getting off Kazuko's car, Nagamine went to a soba noodle shop near Komoro Station to eat noodles.Not because there are still trams, so he can take his time.It's that he doesn't want to take the tram, he wants to take a taxi from here to Karuizawa.But after getting out of Hejiazi's car, if he got into a taxi immediately, if the driver had just witnessed the scene of him getting out of Hejiazi's car, he would definitely think him suspicious, so he decided to wait a while before taking the car. The soba noodle shop also sells some local products, and Komoro Castle is most famous for its sake, so Changfeng bought a bottle of wine, and the clerk put the wine in a white plastic bag.

Chang Feng was taken aback when he was about to walk out of the noodle shop.Because there were two patrol police cars parked at the circle in front of the station, and at the same time he could vaguely see the police. While being careful not to walk too fast, Changfeng slowly approached the taxi stand.At this time, two policemen came over, both young policemen. Changfeng stopped, took out the wine box from the white plastic bag, and put the phone to his ear, deliberately acting as if he was discussing something with someone. He bought the wine just to pretend to be a tourist. The young policeman glanced at him and immediately turned back without interest.

Changfeng sighed a little and stood at the taxi stand.A waiting empty car pulled up in front of him. "To Karuizawa." Changfeng said after getting into the taxi. "There is an EX business hotel next to Karuizawa station, do you know?" "Oh, it's a brand new hotel, I know." The driver, about fifty years old, replied in a relaxed tone. Shortly after leaving the station, they passed another patrol car. "It seems that the security is very strict!" Changfeng said. "Yeah, it seems to be looking for someone." "Find someone?" "I heard that they are looking for a young man. In fact, our company received a call just now, saying that if there is a young man who is about 20 years old, we must report to the police."

"Around twenty years old... What about other characteristics?" "I haven't heard of it. But at this time of day, there will be no such guests in the car!" After hearing what the driver said, Changfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately thought that he had found Kanno? "Can I turn on the radio?" "A radio? Oh, I don't know if I can get it!" The driver operated the knob. He was right. The reception was indeed not very good. After finally tuning to the channel, the announcer’s voice could not be heard clearly, and it didn’t feel like he was reporting news. Changfeng immediately asked him to turn it off. .Even if it is reporting news, I don't know if it will broadcast what is happening here now.

If Kanno is discovered, he will be arrested by the police sooner or later—— In this way, it would be meaningless for me to be here, Changfeng thought.Not only that, but there was no point in hiding any longer. Long Bee felt that the wind and waves that involved him were slowly calming down.Of course, he also understands that one of the people making trouble is himself, and it is his job to finish the work. The streets of Karuizawa are just ahead. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Oribe arrived at the Komoro branch office on the side of National Highway 18.This is a square building with three floors.Walking in from the entrance, there is a winding path with neatly trimmed trees on both sides.

As soon as he entered the house, he greeted the police officers and walked directly to the reception room.In front of the reception room, Mano was drinking canned coffee with a tired face. "Did you find anything?" Mano asked, looking up at Oribe. Oribe shook his head. "It's too dark, I can't see clearly. In short, I have sorted out the things left by the two of them, but I haven't found anything that can analyze Kanno's whereabouts. People from the forensic department will come from Tokyo tomorrow." "Even if the forensic personnel come to investigate, they can't find anything. At most, they can only judge that Kanno has indeed been hiding there!"

"Is the Nagano Prefectural Police Department doing anything?" "The Nagano Prefectural Police Department has helped a lot! Maybe it's because this is a case of media attention! They seem to have dispatched a lot of police." "But nothing came of it?" "Because it was too late to release Kanno's photo. And when Kanno called, he didn't know where he was." Mano clicked his tongue, "I messed it up, I'm really ashamed to see the team leader!" "You mean the thing about you asking her to answer the phone?" "Woolen cloth."

"But Kanno would be suspicious if Yuka didn't answer the phone. I think it was necessary to do that at the time." Mano scratched his head. "Maybe he will doubt it, but he may think that something happened, and come back to look at it. I should wait until then to talk about it. It's useless to talk about it now." Mano crushed the empty can with one hand. "I didn't expect Youjia to do that." Mano slowly shook his head. "I don't know what young girls are thinking!" "Has her identity been found out?" Oribe asked, and Mano took a piece of paper from his pocket."Murakoshi Yuka Katsushika-ku Minamizugen 4——X" was scrawled on it.

"It was found from the mobile phone, and the team leader said that he would bring her parents over." "Mr. Hisatsuka, will you take it directly?" "Yes, anyway, this is the only clue." Mano pointed to the door next to him, "But the current child, even if you tell him to call his parents, it may not be useful." "Is she still silent?" As soon as Oribe finished speaking, Mano spread his hands together as if to surrender. "Can I see her?" Oribe asked. "Yes, yes, do you have any ideas?" "One thing I haven't told you yet, I might know that girl."

Mano seemed not to understand what Oribe meant, and frowned. "Maybe it's just the looks, but I think I've seen her before." "In the videotape, it's the rape videotape made by Kanno and the others." "How is it possible..." Mano's expression twisted, "Are you talking about the victimized girl?" "So I said maybe it's just a look like..." Mano bit his lip, thinking.Not long after, he looked up at Oribe. "Okay, I'll let you see her." After saying this, she stood up. There is a three-seater sofa in the reception room, and opposite are two single-seater sofas, and Murakashi Yuka sits on the three-seater sofa.He took off his shoes and squatted on them.As soon as Oribe and the others walked in, she turned her body away from them.

Oribe slowly sat down on the sofa. "Did Kanno ask you to escape with him?" Oribe asked Yujia's back. But she didn't respond, as if she wasn't going to answer whatever question was asked of her. "I heard that your parents are coming here. If it's something you don't want your parents to know, I think it's better for you to say it now." But Youjia still didn't speak.After Oribe and Mano met their eyes, they looked at her again. "Don't you hate Kanno?" After asking this question, she reacted for the first time.There was a shake in her shoulders. "I think most people would hate him, because if he was hurt like that. Or was it with your consent? Was it filmed with your consent?" Yuka tilted her head to look at Oribe, squinting at him. "What are you talking about? Idiot!" Her tone and expression felt panicked. "Mr. Interpol," Oribe said with a glance at Mano, "I think this kind of thing is impossible, how could he say that someone would escape with the person who raped him?" Yujia looked at the other side again, but this time she didn't reject Oribe, but she didn't want to be stared at by him all the time. "To be honest, I can't believe it, so I have to confirm. Especially if you keep silent like this, you can only watch the video tape again. Everyone watch the video tape together to confirm whether the person in it is you." In fact, Oribe didn't want to say these words, but her tenacious attitude remained the same, and it could only be so. She seemed to say something, but it was slurred and unintelligible. "Ah? What did you say?" Oribe leaned out. He heard "Whatever you want!" "You can watch it if you want! Anyway, you have seen it many times." The voice was mixed with crying. "We want to invite your parents to come and see." Mano said from the side. "Is that all right?" Youjia curled up like a fetus, and then remained motionless.But when Oribe was about to speak, she finally spoke. "I was threatened." "Huh?" Oribe wanted to see her face, "Threatened...is it Kanno?" She nodded. "He said that if I didn't come with him, I would put the videotape and photos on the Internet..." Oribe looked at Mano, who nodded silently. "Would you like to tell us from the beginning?" Oribe asked Yuka. "Please don't show it to my parents." Youjia raised her head, her eyes flushed. "I promise you." Oribe said. Yuka, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, was talking incoherently, and Oribe, who was in charge of sorting out her conversation, felt very headache.But he was patient, asking questions from time to time, or changing the subject to ease the atmosphere, and finally asked her and Kanno how they escaped.For Oribe, no, it should be for ordinary men, what she answered was really incomprehensible. Youjia met Kanno and the others about three months ago, and they seemed to strike up a conversation with Youjia on the street.It seemed that Banzaki spoke to her first, so she went for a drive with the two of them.At that time, they didn't know where they were going, and they found the closed homestay not long after.Kanno and the others who sneaked in with her threatened her with a knife and raped her. Oribe asked her how she was feeling at the time, and Yujia's answer was very boring. "It's just ordinary sadness." She replied like this. "normal?" "Yeah." She nodded.Because Oribe doesn't understand what she really means by "ordinary". After that incident, Kanno never contacted her again.But a few days ago, Kanno called her again, and he said that he would go on a trip together. Youjia refused, so Kanno on the other end of the phone was very angry.He said that if he didn't listen to him, he would put those rape pictures and videos on the Internet. As a last resort, Youjia had to go to the place where he met him. She was very afraid that Kanno would be violent to her again, but Kanno who was waiting for her there seemed to be a different person, very gentle.First he felt sorry for calling her out so suddenly, told her he was sorry. Youjia thought that if Kanno could treat her gently, instead of making him angry, it would be better to listen to him obediently, so she went on a trip with him.They took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture, and when she knew where Kanno was going, she trembled with fright.Because that was the abandoned homestay where they had raped her. "Don't you know that Kanno is being chased by the police?" For Oribe's question, after a long time of thinking, Youjia answered: "I think it might be, but I don't think that matters." "unimportant?" "Because...we are happy together." The two of them seem to use that homestay as their base, moving around to live in other places.They have lived in hotels, and also in the parking lot of other villas. Kanno has money, and Youjia is responsible for buying food, but if it is a farther place, Kanno will go because he has a motorcycle.Of course he also stole the motorcycle. They communicated by mobile phone, but not Kanno's own mobile phone.Youjia lent Kanno one of her mobile phones, because she already had two mobile phones.This seems to be a very "normal" thing to them. "You should know that we are detectives, right? You should also know that we are chasing Kanno, right? But why did you let him escape?" For this question, Yuka was silent for a few minutes, and soon after, her answer left Oribe and Mano speechless. "Because I think it will be troublesome if Kuaier is arrested..." "Trouble? What's the trouble?" "Because it is very troublesome to be asked a lot of questions, if Kuaier is not arrested, my affairs will not be discovered." After asking all the questions, Oribe and Mano were drinking coffee in another room. Mano seemed to have a headache and kept pressing his temple.
