Asama 528 (Shinkansen from Nagano to Tokyo) left Takasaki Station at 7:25 p.m.According to the timetable, we should arrive at Ueno Station at 8:10pm.He Jiazi didn't know what would happen at Ueno Station at eight o'clock, but it should be too late. Still, Kazuo rushed onto the tram, because she wanted to see what was going to happen, and also wanted to know what actions Changfeng would take, and how such a complicated situation would end. He Jiazi felt as if she had betrayed Changfeng. Before walking out of Takasaki Station, He Jiazi called the police to report Changfeng's actions.It is possible that the detective is heading to Takasaki station now.

I have been hiding Changfeng all the time, but now I call the police, which may be said to be a betrayal. However, He Jiazi also felt that it should be said that Changfeng betrayed her first. Changfeng once said that he would surrender himself, so he shouldn't be lying!But because of a phone call, he changed his mind. Ueno Station at eight o'clock——He Jiazi heard Nagamine say this.At the same time, his expression looked embarrassed and confused. Even so, He Jiazi still believed in what he said, "I will not change my mind." Perhaps it should be said that He Jiazi wanted to believe him.

Maybe Changfeng is already mentally prepared and Jiazi will go to the police!If that was the case, he would definitely not think that He Jiazi betrayed him. What are you thinking about?He Jiazi asked himself.Calling the police is to hope that the police will stop Changfeng from committing crimes, but it is not just to prevent crimes. Killing people is of course bad, but Kazuo feels that it's okay for scum like Kanno to be killed.If Kanno was killed by someone somewhere, Kazuko might feel that he deserved it. But she couldn't let Chang Feng do this, his daughter's life was ruined by them, wouldn't it be too tragic if his life was also ruined by them?

The law should impose a severe sentence on him who killed a person.But He Jiazi hopes that this is the end, she wants to prevent Changfeng from falling even worse. But on the other hand, she still hopes that Changfeng can succeed in revenge. If it can prevent him from falling even worse, at least she wants him to achieve his wish. What does He Jiazi hope for? She couldn't answer it herself. Mano, the senior detective, looked at his watch.Ah Cheng also glanced at his watch, it was seven fifty. "There are still ten minutes." Mano detective said. The detective sitting in the passenger seat was talking on the radio, but because he spoke very softly, Ah Cheng couldn't hear what he was saying.The other detectives seemed to be listening too.

"Let's go!" Mano said to Ah Cheng. Ah Cheng nodded silently, he was too nervous to make a sound, his mouth was dry and his lips were chapped. "Is he all right?" said the young police officer named Oribe in the driver's seat, "Would Kanno doubt him when he saw him?" "It's useless to talk about it now!" Mano replied, "And it's only natural to be nervous, isn't it? Because I have a private meeting with a fleeing suspect!" "That's right..." The young police officer nodded. "Then let's go!" Mano opened the back door.

The Oribe detective got off the car, and Ah Cheng also got off the car.Only the criminal policeman in the passenger seat remained in the car. "As I said just now, you take the overpass to the station and wait for Kanno's call, you know?" "I know, I know." "I will follow you behind you, but you must not look behind. When necessary, I will contact you. Before that, you walk like you usually meet people. In case you suddenly meet Kanno halfway What should I do? Do you remember?" "Take off the hat and approach slowly..." "and then?"

"It's best to be able to stand and talk to Kuai'er. If Kuai'er showed up on a motorcycle and asked me to sit in the back seat, I absolutely couldn't sit in it and waited for the police to come." "That's all right, we'll take care of it later, you leave as soon as possible." "……I see." As long as he thinks about that moment, Ah Cheng gets goose bumps all over his body.He should be arrested by the police soon!But what kind of expression would he have when he knew Ah Cheng had lied to him?How would he stare at Cheng? When he reached Showa Avenue, Mano stopped, pointing to the overpass with his chin.

"Excuse me..." Ah Cheng said. "What's wrong?" "Will Nagamine also come to Ueno?" Mano looked serious. "You don't have to worry about that." "But if he shows up..." "You are surrounded by criminal police. As soon as Changfeng appears, we will find out and we will give you instructions. You don't have to worry." Oh, Ah Cheng nodded and took a step forward.Mano seemed to be planning to wait a while before following. About ten minutes ago, two other police officers approached the car. They were carrying small suitcases. The police officers sitting in the car brought the boxes over and opened them. They found that there were pistols and gun bags inside.Mano and the other three detectives began to put on clothes in the narrow car. During that time, they didn't speak a word, which made Ah Cheng feel that the already tense atmosphere became even more tense.

From the conversations of these people in front of him, Ah Cheng knew that Nagamine Shigeki would also come to Ueno.The gun was prepared to deal with Nagamine Shigeki!But Ah Cheng hopes that Nagamine Shigeki will appear, and expects him to find a way to kill Kanno, because he can't think of other ways to avoid Kanno's revenge. The stairs of the overpass were in front of him, Ah Cheng suppressed the urge to look back, and slowly climbed up the stairs. After Oribe and Mano saw Makoto climbing up the overpass, they also took steps together.They looked around carefully, but they didn't find Kaiji Kanno or Shigeki Nagamine.

Oribe touched his chest with his hand to confirm whether the gun was put away. Hisuzuka's voice from the radio still lingered in his ears. "Bringing a gun is to avoid the worst situation from happening. Never let Changfeng shoot. You can only use a gun to avoid this situation from happening." Although the purpose of carrying a gun is understandable, specific instructions are lacking.How to use a gun?Is it just used to scare Chang Feng?Changfeng should not be so easily intimidated. This means that in order to prevent Changfeng from shooting, the police may also shoot first depending on the situation!As long as a shot is fired, it is possible to take Changfeng's life.Does that mean it doesn't matter even so?

Oribe understands that Changfeng cannot be allowed to shoot in crowded places, but Changfeng will only target Kanno alone, and he probably doesn't want to hurt others!In other words, he would only shoot when he was within Kanno's range. The police have to stop Long Bee from doing this, so there is nothing they can do even if he dies, that's what the bosses think. Anyway, this gun—Oribe's own gun appeared in Oribe's mind.This gun was to protect Kanno, and to prevent Nagamine Ema's father from revenge against the murderer who killed Nagamine Ema. What are they?Oribe thought that it was their duty to arrest those who broke the law, because in this way all evil could be eradicated-what a grandiose statement. But can all evil be eradicated like this?To catch the bad guys and isolate them, from another perspective, it is basically protecting the bad guys.After a period of time, when society gradually forgets about the "protected" bad guys, he can return to the original world again. Many of them broke the law again.Do they think that they will not be retaliated against for their crimes, and that the state will even protect them? Oribe couldn't help but wonder if the blade of justice in his hand was really heading in the right direction.Even if the orientation is correct, is the knife real?Does it really have the ability to cut "evil"? Makoto Nakai stepped onto the overpass above Showa Avenue, keeping a distance of about ten meters between him and Oribe and the others. Oribe's familiar faces are everywhere on the overpass, and they are all policemen.Some wore suits, others wore Hawaiian shirts and white trousers, and there were male and female police officers disguised as couples. After passing Showa Avenue, Makoto Nakai began to walk down the stairs leading to the front of the station. "I'm going to the department store." Oribe said to Mano. Mano nodded silently. One of the overpasses leading to the department store Lou, Oribe separated from Mano before that, and walked towards the entrance.As soon as I walked in, there was a man pretending to be talking on the mobile phone. That was Kawasaki from the Jinjing team. Their target was Shigeki Nagamine. He must be very nervous when he heard that Nagamine had come to Ueno. "How?" Oribe asked. "According to the criminal police watching at the exit of Ueno Station, no man suspected of Nagamine has passed by yet." "He won't necessarily come out of Ueno Station." Of course, Kawasaki said. "The station staff in Okachimachi said that they saw a man carrying a golf bag passing by an hour ago. Because few people carry such things, I have a little impression." "Did you show Chang Feng's photo to the station staff?" "Yes, but he said that he didn't remember much, and that he didn't see the other person's face clearly." Oribe thought so too. The most obvious target to find Long Peak is a golf bag.But he can't walk on the road with that kind of thing all the time, he must use something else to cover it up.Therefore, it has been ordered to all investigators, as long as they find someone carrying a long and thin package or box, bag, etc., regardless of men, women, or children, they must check the contents inside. "Then I'll leave it to you here." After saying this, Kawasaki opened the glass door and walked out. Oribe walked into the coffee shop next to him, and a waitress came over immediately, but he saw a policewoman he knew was wearing casual clothes at the counter by the window, sitting on the innermost seat, and he walked there . "Thank you." She looked up at Oribe and whispered. Oribe thought to himself that it was not a couple's conversation, so he nodded and sat beside her.There seemed to be no other cops. Oribe saw the front of the station through the window, and from here he could almost see the front of the station. Nakai Makoto was standing in front of the station building, but he didn't see Mano. Oribe looked at his watch, it was exactly eight o'clock. Ah Cheng was so frightened by the ringing of the mobile phone that he almost jumped up, his heart was beating so fast that his chest hurt. The liquid screen did not show an incoming call, so he picked it up tremblingly.In urban dialect, "Hello..." The other party seemed to be peeping here, and after a while he said, "It's me." "Hurry up?" "Well, where are you now?" "I'm in front of the Atre department store at Ueno Station." Quickly clicked his tongue. "What are you going to do in such an obvious place? Oh, forget it, did you bring any money?" "I brought one hundred thousand." "Okay, then you do as I said, you go under the track first." "Under the track?" "It's the track of the tram, don't you know?" "Oh... is it under the iron bridge?" "I'm going to hang up, come here!" "I see." Ah Cheng took a step forward, because the content of their conversation just now has been monitored by the criminal police, so they must be like Ah Cheng, if they want to go under the iron bridge, they will be arrested soon, it is only a matter of time. Ah Cheng thought that even if it was inevitable that he would be arrested, he would find a way to make Kuaier not hate himself.Although it is impossible not to hate at all, at least let him dilute some hatred. The iron bridge was getting closer and closer, Ah Cheng looked around anxiously.Where is the iron bridge?Where are the criminal police monitoring themselves? At that time, Ah Cheng saw a person in the crowd who surprised him, that is Ayumura.Ayumura's eyes were shining brightly, staring at Cheng. Ah Cheng felt very confused, why did this man appear here?They didn't meet each other today, so Ayumura probably didn't know that he was coming to Ueno Station soon. Could it be that he was followed from his house?Only this is possible. Ah Cheng thought about what to do?Is it better to inform the criminal police?However, this would have to be done over the radio, because the cell phone is still online and cannot be used now. No, Ah Cheng thought that maybe it would be better not to go to Liyucun, maybe Yucun could kill Kanno for him, but if it is not done well, what will be the consequences?If the police knew that he had provided information to Ayumura, wouldn't he be sentenced? What should I do?What should I do? Ah Cheng, who was thinking over and over again, saw another figure.Kuaier was standing in front of the second-hand clothing store.He was wearing a black wool cap and sunglasses.He didn't seem to notice Ah Cheng's appearance yet. Ah Cheng walked over slowly, although the criminal police kept telling him what to do if he saw Kuai Er, but he had already forgotten all about it. Soon, Kuai'er saw him too. (Nakai is now under the iron bridge, and his mobile phone is still on.) (where's the hat?) (Still wearing it.) (Directly approach.) Oribe walked out of the department store while listening to Hisatsuka and Mano's conversation on the radio.He walked onto the overpass and looked under the iron bridge from the very center of the road, but he didn't see Makoto Nakai. (I'm Mano, and I found a man suspected to be Kanno, standing in front of a second-hand clothing store, wearing a black woolen hat, sunglasses, and gray clothes.) Oribe heard Mano's voice. (Did Nakai find out?) (He was looking in that direction, and a man who seemed to be Kanno was approaching Nakai.) (Did Nakai take off his hat?) (No, why didn't that guy take off his hat?) Mano's voice was a little anxious. (You confirm the man's appearance, maybe you are mistaken.) Oribe walked to the top of the stairs leading to the station. There were many people walking under the iron bridge towards the station, and a similar number of people were walking in the other direction. He finally saw Mano among these people. Not long after, he heard Mano's voice. (It's Kanno, no mistake.) (Go lock!) Hisuzuka's voice. (Don't get caught by him, go and surround him.) The eyes behind the sunglasses lens kept staring at Cheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Ah Cheng remembered that whether he was raping a girl or bullying his companions, he always had the same expression. "Hi!" Kuai'er made a low and short voice, "You are alone!" A Cheng silently nodded.Obviously feel dry mouth, but the whole body is sweating. "Money!" Kuai'er stretched out his right hand, "Hurry up and get it! Don't delay." Kuaier only thinks about taking money from Ah Cheng in his head, just like before, he just uses Ah Cheng as a tool to use. "Hurry up, that..." Ah Cheng wondered if he should tell Kuaier that there was a criminal police officer. If he did so, at least Kuaier would not think that Ah Cheng had betrayed him, but if he did, he would definitely be blamed by the police. "What's the matter?" Quickly frowned. "No la." Ah Cheng shook his head and put his hand into his pocket.But Ah Cheng remembered that he didn't bring the money to Kanno at all. If he met Kanno, he should take off the hat on his head instead of giving him money. Ah Cheng quickly reached for the hat with his hands, when he was about to take it off—— Suddenly, someone yelled "Oh..." like the sound made by a hungry and thirsty Ye Mozhi when he was about to attack his prey.Ah Cheng saw that a man was rushing towards them.That's Ayu Village.After a second or two, Ah Cheng realized that he seemed to be holding a knife in his hand. But Kuaier soon realized his own danger, so he dodged Ayumura's knife at the critical moment, not only that, but he also kicked Ayumura quickly, knocking Ayumura to the ground.The knife fell to the ground.It was a kitchen knife, and Quickly picked it up. Everyone around was screaming, and they all turned back. "Acheng, you actually betrayed me!" Kuai'er stared at Acheng like a beast. A Cheng shook his head desperately. "I don't, I don't." Quickly gripping the kitchen knife, he took a step closer to Ah Cheng.But he immediately seemed to notice something, his face changed drastically, he turned around quickly, and ran away. Someone rushed out from the dazed A-Cheng, it was Mano, and several policemen also ran out from other places, chasing Kuaier. Ayumura was still lying at Cheng's feet, he was moaning and trying to stand up, when his hand was grabbed by a man who appeared out of nowhere.Ah Cheng thought that this man should also be a policeman. "Bastard, what are you doing here!" the policeman cursed loudly. Standing at the bottom of the stairs of the overpass, Changfeng felt that people's movements were a little strange.The pedestrians who were walking in groups of three or four all stopped to look in the same direction, and then crowded to the side of the road as if they were trying to hide from something. Then a young man ran over, as if splitting the crowd in two, the man was holding something shiny in his hand. But Changfeng immediately looked away from the thing in his hand, seeing the man's face, he felt trembling all over. He must be Kaiji Kanno, that face he stares at every night with hatred and sadness. Changfeng saw the people chasing Kanno, and he immediately understood that those people were criminal police and they wanted to arrest Kanno. Changfeng squatted down and reached under the next stairs, where a shotgun wrapped in wrapping paper was hidden. Oribe was on standby in the middle of the stairs of the overpass, because after seeing Kanno's movements, he thought he would definitely climb up the overpass.If Kanno does not go to the overpass, he can only enter the station.This is like walking into a dead end. But Kanno took an unexpected action. As soon as he got to the station, he grabbed the arm of a young girl who was still unclear about the situation, pulled her over, and then put a kitchen knife near the girl's neck. "Don't come here! Otherwise I will kill her." Kanno roared. Just as Kazuko stepped out of Ueno Station and was thinking about what to do now, an unbelievable thing happened right before her eyes.Her legs were weak and she couldn't move. "Didn't I say don't lean in? Move back! Move further away! Otherwise, I'll really kill her!" A young man twists the arm of a girl — who appears to be a junior high school student — and wields a kitchen knife with the other.All the people were watching them from a distance, and they came to them. The one who wanted to find a chance to approach them should be the police! "Don't waste your efforts, you should know that even if you do this, you won't be able to escape! Let that girl go!" The middle-aged man in a suit said in a soothing tone although his voice was loud. "Don't talk, Ah Cheng! Come here, you bastard, remember! I will never let you go!" the young man roared angrily.Who is Ah Cheng?Kazuko didn't know, but she was sure that the man was Kanno. So Changfeng—she hurriedly searched around. Changfeng should be here too, he must be among the crowd peeping here.He should have not given up on revenge!He should be looking for an opportunity to pull the trigger of the shotgun! The spectators gathered one after another, so it was impossible to find Changfeng. Feeling desperate, He Jiazi looked towards the overpass.Just then, she saw a man appear from the bottom of the stairs. God help me too!Changfeng thought.Had Kanno been overwhelmed by a large police force, it would have been entirely impossible to shoot him with a shotgun.But Kanno took a hostage and tried to make a final struggle.Because of this, the detectives are not allowed to get close to him, and the possibility of unrelated people being involved is also reduced. The police didn't seem to be in a hurry to arrest him, and the criminal police who were in charge of convincing him were also very calm. They probably thought that it was only a matter of time before the matter developed to this point and he would be arrested. "Don't move! Don't lean any further!" Kanno kept yelling. What an idiot, Changfeng thought.Even children should be able to see that in this situation, no matter how hard they struggle, it will be futile.Under the watchful eyes of everyone and surrounded by a large number of police forces, how could it be possible to escape? Changfeng once again realized that this man is a spoiled and self-willed child who has only developed into an adult physically and has no common sense in his head.He thought that as long as he yelled, the people around him would be obedient. Tuma was actually killed by such a man, this man was like a child asking for a toy, he just wanted a sex toy.To such a man, Ema was not human at all. Changfeng's vision narrowed rapidly, he only had Kanno in his eyes, he didn't even realize the hostages in Kanno's hands, and he couldn't hear any sound at the same time. Oribe was still standing on the stairs of the overpass, watching the development of things from there. Don't be careless, but there is no need to worry.The murderer is not guarded somewhere, and surrounded by so many investigators, it is impossible to escape from here. The investigative team only wanted to avoid hurting the hostages. Even if it was a bruise, it would be difficult for the police to shirk responsibility.The reason why Mano and the others are not in a hurry is because Kanno will definitely surrender after a while, so they feel that they just need to wait patiently. Oribe looked at his watch, the time was 8:15.How long is Kanno going to persist?Oribe estimated at most thirty minutes!He can only hold on to the girl's body for so long at most!He might give up sooner, and then let the girl run away, Oribe thought about the situation when Kanno ran away. Oribe only looked at Kanno, so it took a while before he realized that a man appeared directly under the stairs he was standing on.Not long after, although he found something was wrong, when he looked at the man, he didn't realize that the man was related to this incident. Just when Oribe discovered that the man was holding a long black stick, the crowd of onlookers also let out inexplicable screams almost at the same time. (It's Changfeng, Changfeng, just under the overpass.) Oribe yelled into the radio while rushing down the stairs. But such a report was unnecessary, because Nagamine was slowly approaching Kanno with a shotgun in his hand, and there seemed to be no one in his eyes. The spectators screamed and ran away when they saw the black body of the gun.The investigators couldn't move for a while, because if they approached Changfeng recklessly, once Changfeng shot, the consequences would be disastrous. Kanye Kai'er was also stunned, his face showed a look of shock and fear. Kanno let go of his hand, the girl escaped from his grasp, and hurried to Mano. But Kanno seemed to have no time to care about where the girl was running. He saw Changfeng and his eyes widened. Kanno seemed to have regained his senses, and then quickly turned and ran away. Oribe thought badly, Changfeng had already taken the shotgun. Ema——Nagamine shouted in his heart while catching Kanno's back with the sight. Now Dad is going to avenge you, and Dad is going to bury the guy who made you suffer, ruined your happy life, and took your life.Dad actually wanted to kill him in a more cruel way, but Dad only thought of this way, sorry!After Dad kills this guy, he will find you. After we met in that world, we will live happily together. Dad will not let you suffer anymore—— Changfeng kept the gun body still, and the prey was running away, but for Changfeng, no matter how much humans ran, it was useless.He could not see movement around him, nor could he hear any sound.Concentrating on it, he squeezed the trigger hard— at this time…… "Mr. Changfeng!" A woman's voice pierced the silent world, and her voice caused the still focus to shake violently. Chang Feng felt confused, whose voice was that?Why can I only hear that voice?He himself does not know. But he didn't have time to think about it, because Kanno was about to escape, and he was about to flee into the building next to him, when Changfeng meowed again. Tumo, Dad is going to shoot. Then he pulled the trigger—
