At exactly five o'clock, Changfeng turned on the phone.He checked the message, but there was no answer. He is in the coffee shop next to Takasaki Station, which is a self-service shop.He sat at the counter overlooking the road, with a cup of latte in front of him. Most of the customers are office workers, and it looks like they come here to catch their breath after packing up their work for the day. Changfeng found himself filled with jealousy and admiration for them.Before that, he also lived this kind of life that he could control a little bit - a stable life, unchanging every day.Only now did he realize how precious it was.He is now physically exhausted and devastated.Even if he wanted to go back to that time, he couldn't find his way back.

He began to think in his mind, even if he wondered why it happened like this, it didn't help.Everything happened too suddenly, if Tumo hadn't been targeted by those two beasts, he would be like these office workers now, just thinking about how to eliminate the fatigue of the whole day. Why were there these emergencies in the first place?Is it because the two beasts were born but ignored them?Why would society allow this to happen? Changfeng looked around, thinking that this was not permission, but indifference.How many people here still remember the incident where an innocent high school girl was used as a sex toy and then abandoned?It might come to mind when the relevant news is broadcast, but that's all.As soon as the news topic was switched, their attention also switched.

But isn't it the same for yourself?Changfeng thought to himself.As long as you can protect your own life, other people's affairs don't matter at all.If you ask him if he has ever seriously thought about juvenile delinquency?Or what efforts have been made to solve the problem?He probably couldn't answer it either. Changfeng realized that he was also an accomplice in creating this kind of society. As long as he was an accomplice, he might receive relative retribution. He could only think that he was the one who was chosen this time. It's just that Emo is not an accomplice. If she can continue to live, maybe she will work hard to improve this society.

Changfeng thought to himself that he had to make amends to Emo.If you create a scum like Kanno Kaier yourself, then you have to clean it up by yourself.There are many ways to deal with it. For example, some people will say that he should be reformed, but Changfeng cannot agree with this idea. He believes that the monster created by society cannot be transformed back into a human being with human power. Three high school girls passed by outside the window. The three were talking and laughing. Changfeng suppressed the tears that were about to burst out, and reached out to pick up the latte. Then the phone rang.He quickly pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear.

It was He Jiazi who called. Changfeng briefly said the address of the coffee shop, then hung up. He Jiazi appeared immediately. After she found Changfeng, she went to buy coffee and sat next to him. "Have you been waiting long?" "No, no." "Really?" She nodded and took a sip of her coffee. "What happened afterwards?" Because he didn't understand what He Jiazi meant, Changfeng looked at her. She let out a breath. "Any clues?" Changfeng smiled wryly and shook his head. "Nothing to do, no progress." He Jiazi said in a low voice, "Sure enough."

"Then... where's the luggage?" She should mean the golf bag. "I put it in a locker at the station because no one walks up and down the street with something like that." "That's true." He Jiazi said, "I think you should be able to stop here." "what do you mean……" "Of course I know that you will feel unwilling, but I think Ling Ai definitely doesn't want you to continue, lose everything, and suffer endlessly... Maybe the resentment is hard to get rid of, but I think she will persuade you in another world' Forget it, Dad." She seemed to be afraid that others would hear her, so she deliberately lowered her voice, but fortunately, there were no other guests around.

Changfeng let out a long sigh. "You must be trying to persuade me to surrender?" "What I said may sound like nothing to you." "No," Changfeng shook his head, "If it was none of your business, you wouldn't come here on purpose, you really think about me, I understand it very well, to be honest, I am very grateful, especially now that I have lost my goal. " "Then, go to the police station..." He Jiazi peeked at his face. Changfeng leaned his elbows on the table and pressed his hands against his eyes. "However, I can't give up. If I don't do it, no one will avenge Tumo. Anyway, other people will forget about the killing of others. Not only that, they will even speak for the murderer, what to say He's underage."

"But you should have no choice, right?" When Changfeng heard He Jiazi's words, he could only smile wryly. "I'm very sad to be told that by you. You're right. I don't even know where I'm going now." "I," He Jiazi licked his lips, "I think in order not to make this case forgotten, you should take the initiative to surrender to the police station." "Does it make any difference if I turn myself in?" "At least, the world will think of Ling Ai's tragedy again, of course not only that, you can also ask questions about juvenile law in court, can't you? Even the general public will definitely listen to what you say when you come forward and surrender yourself. .” He Jiazi looked into Changfeng’s eyes and said.

"Question...is it?" He looked away. "Maybe it's because I'm a third party that I can say it so easily." "No, you may be right. For me now, this should be the best choice." After saying this, Changfeng leaned back on the chair and looked diagonally forward. "This is also a way to pay homage to the souls of the dead!" "Everyone will stand by your side. They will all be as moved by your cry as I am. I think Qianjin will be happy if you do this!" Changfeng nodded, thinking that this is indeed the case. "If you want, I can go with you." He Jiazi raised her chin and said, "Go to the police station."

"Do I need to trouble you again?" Changfeng thought to himself, but in this case, maybe there is no need to make up bad lies.Even if he surrendered himself, he still had to explain where he was hiding before. What if he caused trouble for He Jiazi and his daughter again?He cares about it.If he said that He Jiazi had been persuading him to surrender, then the police probably wouldn't have sentenced her to any crime!However, he only went to the police station now, and Changfeng didn't know whether he could be judged as surrendering himself legally. "That's the only way to do it!" Chang Feng sighed and said in a low voice.

"Then let's go to the police station now?" He Jiazi opened his eyes wide. Seeing her expression, Changfeng's facial expression naturally eased. "You are such a powerful person, I have been pushed forward by you." "Sorry, I'm too nosy." She lowered her eyes. "No, you saved me. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now. I might not have known where I died." Probably because of saying the word "death", He Jiazi raised his head with serious eyes. "Please live actively, because you still have to fight in court." "I know." Changfeng nodded. "You've always encouraged me." "So……" "Okay, let's go!" Chang Feng stood up from the chair. Once out of the café, they headed towards the station.Because I'm going to get a golf bag. "Please take care of yourself." He Jiazi said when he was about to enter from the west exit of Takasaki Station.She seemed to be worried about Changfeng's life in prison. "Thank you." Changfeng smiled, "Take care too." Then he stretched out his right hand. He Jiazi also extended his right hand, and when they were about to shake hands, the cell phone in Changfeng's trousers pocket rang.He forgot to turn off the power just now. After looking at He Jiazi, he took out his phone.And no caller ID. Hey?Changfeng said.It may be that the other party didn't expect him to answer, so he seemed too scared to speak.But after that, Changfeng heard a low voice. "Kaiji Kanno will appear at Ueno Station at eight o'clock tonight." It was the informer from before.Changfeng felt his body temperature rise. "Huh? What are you talking about? Ueno Station at eight o'clock?" "The police will go too, that's the last chance." "Wait a minute, are you—" But the call had already been hung up. Changfeng stared at the phone for a while, he did not expect to receive this sudden message at this juncture. Ueno Station at eight o'clock, the last chance—the voice of the informer rang in his ears again. Changfeng turned off the phone, put it back in his pocket, then raised his head with a look of surprise.He Jiazi kept looking at him with red eyes. He Jiazi felt that this was not an ominous premonition, but that it was close to the truth.According to the current situation, there is only one possibility for the person who called Changfeng. "Is it a whistleblower call?" She simply asked, "Is it?" "No, it's not." Changfeng shook his head, "It's not a whistleblower call." "Who is that? Is there something wrong?" Changfeng didn't answer, he looked away from He Jiazi. "Please don't." He Jiazi said, "You have finally made up your mind, haven't you? For you... and for Lingmei, you have already made the best choice, haven't you? If this is the case, please don't be half-hearted. Please." When she said these words to Jiazi, a burst of heat came out of her body, which turned into tears, swirling in her eye sockets, and the passing OL looked at her in surprise. Changfeng nodded and led her behind the pillar. "You're right, it's the informer calling." "Sure enough..." "But, that's okay. I'll do what you say, because I know it's the best thing for me, so I won't change my mind, don't worry." "Then will you surrender yourself?" Changfeng nodded slowly and said, "Yes." "Great." He Jiazi let out a sigh of relief. "I'm going to get my golf bag, please wait for me here." He put the bag at his feet, "I'll be right back, and then can you go with me?" He means go to the police station!He Jiazi nodded. Changfeng walked towards the direction marked with the locker, and after seeing him leave, He Jiazi leaned against the pillar next to him.Only then did she realize that she was exhausted. She thought to herself that it was finally coming to an end. After Changfeng surrendered, He Jiazi's name might also be reported by the media. Maybe he would receive strange eyes from the world, and he might cause trouble to his father!But it has to be done.She felt that doing so was much better than escaping halfway and regretting it for the rest of her life. He Jiazi looked at the luggage bag at his feet, feeling very tired.In the past, Changfeng only took this thing with him to start his escape life, and he was finally going to end this kind of life. As if she suddenly remembered something, she picked up her bag.Good weight. Put this thing here, is it because it is no longer needed... He Jiazi followed Changfeng closely.Soon, she came to the place where the lockers were placed.She thought it had to be a large locker if she wanted golf bags. The slender lockers were lined up neatly, but there was no sign of Long Bee there. And Kako ran up.Her heart beat faster because of anxiety and despair, and the sweat was streaming down her neck. She returned to the original place, but the long peak was not visible there either.She put her hand on her mouth and looked around.All she saw was the same as usual. He Jiazi put down her bag and covered her face with her hands.
