Nagamine saw the news that the girl who fled with Kanno was found in the business hotel in Takasaki.Of course, Kaiji Kanno's name was not reported. Nagamine was convicted before Kanno was sentenced. Changfeng survived until today for revenge, but now there is nothing to support him to live.Of course, thoughts of suicide began to appear in his mind.Although he knew that this behavior was cowardly, even if he tried to dispel the idea, the idea was getting stronger and stronger. Changfeng twisted his body on the bed, he thought he might as well call the police right here.As He Jiazi's father said, he should surrender himself.

Suddenly, the face of He Jiazi appeared in his mind. Changfeng still couldn't understand why she helped him like that. He knew it was out of sympathy, but he still couldn't imagine that someone would support the murderer like that.Although she helped Changfeng find Kanno, she did not approve of his revenge-Changfeng thought that this might be her attitude. Changfeng wanted to chat with her.Call her now and ask her what to do.She might persuade herself to surrender herself!Changfeng felt that if he could be persuaded by her gentle voice, many things could be solved easily. Changfeng picked up the phone, turned it on, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly.He had already deleted He Jiazi's phone number from the phone book, and he remembered that he had done this deliberately in order not to drag He Jiazi down.

He shook his head and was about to turn off the phone.But then he found a new message, which seemed to have been left two days ago. Changfeng tried to play the message, and what he heard from the voicemail was the new message left by the mysterious person. (The police have already gone to Nagano Prefecture, and they found the closed homestay. As long as you get closer, you may be able to find Kanno.) Changfeng was shocked, and confirmed the date of the message again. Yes, the mysterious informant had indeed informed him before the police action.In other words, although he doesn't know what his purpose is, he doesn't seem to want Changfeng to be arrested.

Even so, why did this person get the correct information?And why should Changfeng be notified? Thoughts of suicide or surrender quickly disappeared from Changfeng's mind, and he still had a glimmer of hope, which was the informer with unknown purpose and identity. Ah Cheng's cell phone rang when he was going to the bathroom.After Cheng came out of the toilet, he saw his mother waiting for him with a phone. "Ah Cheng, this—" The mother's expression was tense. Ah Cheng looked at the LCD screen display on the mobile phone, and it was a call from a public phone. Ah Cheng picked up the phone and ran up to the second floor, and quickly opened the window of the room.He saw a car parked across the road from his house.A policeman got out of the car, looked up at him, raised a hand, and nodded at him.It should mean asking him to answer the phone.

Ash pressed the call button. "Hey?" "Ah Cheng?" A deep voice seemed to be able to see the situation here. Ah Cheng immediately knew that it was Kuai Er, and he suddenly felt dry mouth. Yes, Ah Cheng replied. "Is it quick?" Quickly replied: "Well. Is there anyone next to you?" "No, my mother is downstairs." "Will she hear?" "It's okay." Ah Cheng's voice trembled slightly. In fact, the criminal police downstairs should have heard their conversation clearly.Because they installed such a mechanism in Ah Cheng's mobile phone, what should they do if Kuaier finds out?When Ah Cheng thought of this, he became very nervous.

"Did you watch TV?" Quick asked. "Look, you are hiding in the homestay in Nagano! You really know how to hide." "It's miserable now. I didn't expect the police to come to such a place." Kuai'er's voice did not have the usual threatening tone, and he seemed very anxious. The door of the room was opened slightly, and the criminal policeman walked in.He wore earphones on his ears, and held a piece of paper in his hand to show Ah Cheng.It said: "Ask where he is." Ah Cheng put the phone to his ear and nodded. "Hey, Cheng, can you hear me?" He heard Kuai'er's sharp voice.

"Oh, um, I can hear you, come on, where are you now?" "Nowhere, just wandering around. Why did the police know that I was hiding in that homestay?" "How do I know! I only found out by watching TV." "Could it be you who told the police? Because only you know about the homestay." "I didn't say it, because I only heard about the B&B in Nagano, but I don't know the exact location at all." "... That's true." Kuai'er sighed on the other end of the phone. Cheng felt that Kanno seemed to have become weak.In the past, every time Kanno troubled Ah Cheng, he would hardly accept Ah Cheng's excuse so easily.

The criminal police wrote "Where" again for Ah Cheng to see.Ah Cheng thought he was really annoying. "Are you still in Nagano?" Cheng asked. "How is it possible? I'm in the Hachioji area now." "Hachioji? Do you live in Hachioji?" "What's up?" Ah Cheng heard a loud click of tongue. "Just to investigate if there is any evidence that we killed that woman, didn't you investigate?" "Oh, that?" Ah Cheng didn't know how to answer. So the criminal police who were listening on the side hurriedly wrote to him. "There is no evidence for the answer!"

"What's the matter?" An impatient voice came from Kuai'er. "Oh, I think there may be no evidence!" Ah Cheng replied, and he saw the criminal police wrote: "If you surrender yourself, you can reduce your sentence." Then he said, "So it's better for you to turn yourself in, because that way you can reduce your sentence." Quickly snorted. "How about you? Didn't the police look for you?" "Called me several times." "What? Did they say anything? Was there a sentence?" "No, because the police still don't know what happened to cause the girl's death, so they probably don't know how to sentence me!"

"Hmm..." Kuai'er looked like he was thinking, maybe he was thinking about whether to surrender himself. The criminal police seemed to have written something again. "If you flee, the crime will be aggravated." "Hurry up, you'd better go to the police station and surrender yourself. The more you escape, the heavier the crime will be." "Nonsense! I know it myself, but I don't want to turn myself in. I don't want to be caught by the police and sent to a juvenile reformatory." Ah Cheng thought to himself that since this is the case, wouldn’t it be okay if he didn’t do bad things at the beginning?But he dared not say it.

"I want to play again." Quick said. "If you want to turn yourself in, wait until I do something I like again. Because after being arrested, I can't do anything." "Oh... Maybe it is!" "But I don't have any money with me." "Huh? Money?" "Oh, I don't know what happened, but when I tried to get money from my ATM card, it didn't work. It must be the ghost of my old woman!" The dead old woman refers to Quick's mother.From the beginning, Kuaier only regarded his mother as a tool to collect money. "Ah Cheng, do you have money?" "Uh, me? No, money..." When Ah Cheng was about to answer no, he saw the note written to him by the criminal police in a hurry: "Answer that I have money, and I can lend it to you." "Money... I have a little, I can lend it to you." Cheng replied hesitantly. Kuai'er was silent for a moment, then said, "How many do you have?" The detective spread his fingers widely. "I, I have about 100,000... right!" Ah Cheng never had so much money, but he still answered like this. "One hundred thousand? It's really little." But Kuai'er seemed dissatisfied, "However, I have no other choice." "how?" Ah Cheng asked, he heard the other party let out a long sigh. "Forget it, you should borrow it from me, do you have it on your body now?" The criminal policeman nodded vigorously, and then made a "yes" mouth shape to show Ah Cheng "Yes, yes." Ash replied. "Okay, then you bring it here." "Where are you taking it? Hachioji?" "Why did you bring this kind of place? I just called and passed by here. I will go to your place and we will meet somewhere." "Where is better?" "I think Ueno is ready." "Ueno station?" "The station is not good. There may be patrolling police. Anyway, go to the side of the station and I'll call you again." "I see, what time?" "It's eight o'clock in the evening, because if it's too late, there are too few people, and if it's too early, the sky is too bright." "It's Ueno at eight o'clock, I know." "You must not tell anyone, if you betray me, I will not forgive you!" "I know!" Ah Cheng's voice trembled slightly.He was thinking about how to explain why this conversation was monitored by the criminal police. "Then see you at eight o'clock." After saying this, he quickly hung up the phone. Ah Cheng felt weak and sweated coldly. The criminal policeman rushed out of the room without saying anything to him.
