At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ayumura parked at the same place. He switched the sign from "empty car" to "return". If the sign "empty car" is always parked on the side of the road, there might be customers getting on the car. He confirmed the time again, and the pointer on the surface showed three past five. He knocked on the steering wheel with his hand, and Ayumura's eyes turned to the convenience store diagonally ahead. No, to be correct, it should be the corner of that store, and Makoto Nakai should appear from there. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Nakai Makoto would walk into the convenience store, and if there was the latest news from Kanno Kaiji, he would wear a hat.After Ayumura saw it, he would also walk into the convenience store, approaching Nakai Makoto as if nothing had happened, and Nakai then handed over the prepared note to Ayumura. Of course, the information about Kanno would be written on this note.

Ayumura and Nakai Makoto reached the above agreement.Rather than saying it was an agreement, it might be better to say that Makoto Nakai was coerced into agreeing.In fact, Ayumura also hated Nakai very much. He even thought that Nakai should be killed, but in order to know Kanno's hiding place, he could only use him. Before yesterday, Nakai had kept the agreement.At three o'clock in the afternoon, I would show up at the convenience store on time, but never wearing a hat. It is really troublesome to do this, but Zhongjing said that it is inconvenient whether it is a phone call or a direct meeting.

"Because the police installed a strange mechanism on my mobile phone, the police can monitor it. Only going out is free, but the police may also monitor it. If they see me meeting you, they will target me again." Nakai Cheng was about to cry. So I came up with the method just now, every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, I have to come here.Because of this, the taxis in Ayumura dare not drive too far. Although this will affect his work, it is not important to him now. Ayumura looked at his watch again, it was almost twenty past three.Makoto Nakai has never been so late before, and he is getting more and more anxious.

When Ayumura saw that the hands of the clock had passed twenty minutes, he got out of the car.Walk towards the corner of the convenience store, and after turning a corner, you will find Makoto Nakai's home. But when Ayumura turned the corner, he couldn't help but stop.Because the patrol car stopped in front of Nakai's house.In addition, there were two cars parked on the side of the road, and there were some men standing around them, obviously feeling different from ordinary people. Ayumura licked his lips, and slowly stepped forward.He tried to be careful not to change his pace, but his heart was beating wildly.

The door of Zhongjing's house was open, and several men came in and out, and everyone's face was very serious. Ayumura noticed that the situation was different, and Kanno and Makoto Nakai must have contacted, so the detectives must have come here to discuss future countermeasures. "Wait a moment." Someone called Ayumura to stop him, he was startled and stopped.He saw a man standing next to the patrol car, a short man of about forty years old. "Which one are you looking for?" "Ugh……" "Aren't you looking for some family? Or lost?" "Oh, no..." Ayumura understood what the other party meant.It was obviously because he was wearing a taxi driver's uniform, so if he got out of the car and walked around, most people would think he was looking for his way!

Ayumura squeezed out a smile and shook his hand. "I'm just looking for a place to borrow a toilet." The man smiled wryly. "Really? Isn't it possible to borrow from the convenience store there?" "Haha... That's right, I'll go and try it." Ayumura nodded slightly and turned back.Sweat seeped from his armpits. After returning to the car, he took a deep breath.After starting the engine, increase the air volume of the air conditioner.His heart was still beating fast—he thought as he caught his breath. Could it be that he discovered Kanno's hiding place——

But if this is the case, the police should go to that place. Why did they come to Nakai Makoto's house? Ayumura looked at his watch, it was twenty past three.Nakai probably wouldn't go to a convenience store!He may have been restricted by the police to go out, and even if he goes out, he will definitely be followed. In other words, Ayumura thought, could it be that Makoto Nakai is going to meet Kanno later?But since the rendezvous point has not been determined yet, must the police monitor Nakai? The more Ayumura thinks about it, the more likely this speculation is. If his guess is correct, there is only one action he can take now.

Changfeng poured the third cup of coffee at the beverage counter. He was always used to drinking black coffee, but this time he put a container of milk on the tray because his stomach was a bit indigestible. After returning to his seat, he poured milk into his coffee and stirred it.There was nothing on his table, because the grilled fresh shrimp and the soup container had been removed thirty minutes ago. Changfeng took out his mobile phone, and picked up his coffee cup while looking up something.It has been nearly two hours since he entered the store.He thought to himself that as soon as there were more customers, it would be best to leave as soon as possible. If the waitress noticed him, it would be dangerous. If she kept staring at him, she might think he looked familiar.

Even so, Changfeng still hopes to stay as long as possible. After he came out of the business hotel in Takasaki, he came to this restaurant after wandering around before he decided on his next move.In other words, if he went out from here, he didn't know where he was going. He tried to check the messages on the phone, his only hope now was to get a tip from the mysterious person, so he checked the messages every hour.In fact, he really wanted to keep the power on all the time, but he felt that the police might call him, so he couldn't do it. There is a message.Not an hour ago, Chang Feng was both looking forward to and nervous, he sighed heavily.

But that was not the informer's message, he heard Kazuko's voice. (I'm Danzawa. I learned from the news that the homestay last time was indeed correct, but Kanno seems to have escaped. I'm worried about what Mr. Changfeng will do in the future. Please contact me, please, my mobile number It's 090...) He Jiazi did not delete Changfeng's phone number. Although he felt very confused, he also felt that he was rescued.He deeply realized how happy it is for someone to understand him. Changfeng listened to the message again, he wrote down He Jiazi's mobile phone number, he looked at the number, and drank coffee.

Changfeng didn't want to involve people who had nothing to do with him - it was because of this thought that he broke up with Kako at Komoro Station.It was obviously less than twenty-four hours since then, and Chang Feng wondered why she was so impatient?However, Changfeng really wanted to hear her voice now. Changfeng has no feelings for her between men and women. He knows best that he doesn't have that mood at all, so is he looking for comfort?When people are wandering on the road of revenge accompanied by anxiety and loneliness, if they can meet someone who can understand him, they should want to rely on that tenderness, right? Changfeng crumpled up the paper with the phone number on it - what the hell are you doing?What are you still hesitating about?Do you still want to save him with Jiazi? He was about to turn off the power of the mobile phone. He took this phone to receive information from the informer, not to avoid anything. But just before he was about to turn off the power, the phone suddenly started vibrating.It's an incoming call. Changfeng saw the numbers displayed on the LCD screen and opened his eyes wide.That was the number written on the piece of paper he had just rubbed away. Changfeng hesitated.Although hesitant, he still pressed the call button.Because he felt that if he didn't answer it quickly, the phone would be disconnected, so when he put the phone to his ear, he began to hate himself.In fact, there is nothing important at all, he is very happy, he wants to talk to Jiazi, isn't it? Hello!He lowered his voice. "It's...it's me, you know that?" "I know, I listened to the message." "Really? Well, where are you now?" "Now..." Changfeng hesitated whether to continue. He Jiazi seemed to see what he was thinking, and sighed. "It's okay, please believe me, how can I say this... This is not a trap." Changfeng smiled wryly. "I know, and it doesn't matter if you cheat me. Now I'm in Takasaki, and I'm drinking tea in the restaurant." "Takasaki..." "I didn't mean anything else, I just took a random tram and came here." "Really? Well, Mr. Changfeng, can I go to your side now?" "Why are you?" "You asked me why, and I don't know how to answer...Maybe I did it to satisfy myself, because I regretted leaving you alone like that, and then pretended to be ignorant and continue to live, I think To talk to you again, I think it should be done." Chang Feng put the phone on his ear and nodded.He thought to himself that He Jiazi might be telling the truth.She is so concerned about this matter, if she can only watch from a distance, she may feel very empty!So she wants to meet and talk again, it can indeed be said to satisfy herself. "Hello! Mr. Changfeng?" "I can hear you." Changfeng said, "Where are we going to meet?" "Can I go there?" "If it's just a meeting, as long as it doesn't cause you trouble." "It's okay, I have a tombstone in Takasaki, I can tell my father that I'm going to visit the grave." "I see." Later, they decided to meet near Takasaki Station, but for the detailed location, Changfeng will contact her again. He told Jiazi that she would be there at five o'clock. After hanging up the phone, Changfeng finished his coffee and stood up with the bill. Changfeng thought it would be useless even if he went to meet Jiazi.She might want to persuade herself to surrender herself!But Changfeng wants to listen to her, maybe no matter what she says!He longed for someone to say something to him. As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, the strong sun shone on him, and he felt dizzy for a moment, leaning against the electric pole next to him.He took out his sunglasses and put them on. Maybe the limit has been reached, he thought. There was a map spread out in front of Ah Cheng, it was a map of the surrounding area of ​​Ueno Station, it was a very detailed map, not only the buildings and large stores, but also the names of small stores were written on it. A detective named Mano kept explaining to him. "Turn left as soon as you get out of the station. Please stop in front of this fashion building. The mobile phone can clearly receive the signal here, and we can clearly see you." "What am I going to do there?" Ah Cheng asked. "You don't need to do anything, just wait for Kanno's call. There should be criminal police around you, but you don't have to worry about it. Instead, you have to be careful not to show an unnatural look." "Yes..." Ah Cheng nodded slightly. After receiving Kuaier's call, the criminal police arrived immediately.They also installed a recording device on the phone at Ah Cheng's house, which was prepared in case Kuai'er called his house. Then they began to give various instructions to Ah Cheng.Because they don't know how Kuaier will approach Ah Cheng, so in order to cope with various situations, they prepare things like teaching manuals. He also taught Ah Cheng how to use the wireless microphone and earphones. He seemed to have to use these things to keep in touch with the police before getting in touch with Kuaier.While listening to their instructions, Ah Cheng felt more and more heavy.He felt uneasy that he had such an important task. There was one other thing that bothered him. If this continues, he will be arrested soon, right?What will Kuaier think of him then? Kuai'er will definitely feel that Ah Cheng has betrayed him and betrayed him.The fact is the same, Cheng was forced to assist the police in arresting Kuaier. Will you be locked up soon?But according to various media reports, even if he is locked up, he won't be locked up for long. Kuai'er, who was released, might retaliate against him. How cruel would that be?As long as he recalled the actions that Quickly had taken before, he felt terrible. As long as he gets killed quickly, it's fine, just like Atsuya— To get out of this predicament, you can only think like this.It would be great if Changfeng Shigeki could take revenge.But there is no time, and the time for Kuai'er's arrest is approaching by the minute. Detective Mano said something, but Ah Cheng didn't listen to a word.
