Zhe Lang stood still, unable to think of what to say.Mizuki took something out of her jeans pocket and threw it at him.He caught it immediately.It was a disposable lighter; two golden eyes were drawn on a black background, and the word "cat's eye" was written between the eyes.The design is reminiscent of a musical. "This is?" Zhe Lang finally made a sound. "Where I worked a while ago." Zhe Lang set his eyes on the lighter again. The address and phone number were written on the back. It was a hotel in Ginza. "I work as a bartender at that store."

Zhe Lang played with the lighter in his hand. "As a man?" "Of course." Mizuki said decisively. "Don't look at me like this, I have great strength." Zhe Lang nodded, trying to light the fire, but he was startled by the size of the flame. "There is a lady named Xiaoxiang who works in that store. Although the word 'small' is added, she must be in her thirties. However, she claims in the store that she is only twenty-six years old." Zhe Lang didn't know what Mei Yue was going to say, so he decided to listen to her quietly. "She is followed by a man every night. When she leaves the store, he follows her. If she goes to another store with a customer, he will wait in front of that store instead. If the customer takes a taxi to take her home, He will drive to follow. In short, he will not let Xiaoxiang leave his sight for a second until she returns home."

"A so-called stalker?" "To put it simply, yes." Meiyue nodded, "Not just stalking, he kept calling Xiaoxiang, saying creepy things into the answering machine, and sometimes even sending her sneak photos." "This kind of thing is heard from time to time." "Xiaoxiang lives in fear every day. She said that when there is no guest to take her home, she dare not go home alone. At this time, I will accompany her back. I will take a taxi to take her to her residence, Watch her go in before going home. She lives in an apartment in Kinshicho, and I live in Kikugawa, so I stopped by."

"You are the flower protector." "You can say that. Late last night, I sent her to the front of the house in the same way. As a result, the stalker followed him as usual. He parked the car some distance from the apartment. When I sent Xiaoxiang into When she was in the house, her mobile phone rang, and it was the man calling. He seemed to say: If you let that guy in the house, I will not spare you! Of course the guy was referring to me. For the stalker, The bartender who took her home every night must have made him very happy. Although Xiaoxiang hung up the phone immediately, she was more scared than usual. Because before that, the guy had never called her mobile phone. I don't know if he is How did he get it, anyway, he knew Xiaoxiang's cell phone number."

"Well, there should be many ways." "There are indeed many methods, and they must be despicable anyway. In short, his behavior completely pissed me off. After I sent her into the house, I went to find that guy immediately, and I planned to make a break." Zhe Lang looked at Mei Yue in surprise. "How to make a break?" She held out her clenched fist. "The other party is that kind of pervert. When it comes to making a break, it goes without saying. He is not the kind of person who will listen to persuasion, so I plan to teach him a lesson so that he will never dare to harass others again."

Zhe Lang looked at her thin physique as far as a man is concerned, and thought: With your figure? "Don't look at me like this, I exercise every day. Although I'm not as good as a QB, I won't lose in wrist strength competitions with ordinary men." Meiyue seemed to see through his mind. "Then...how?" "I approached his car and got into it by force. The guy was really startled. I didn't allow him to take a step closer to Xiaoxiang, but he completely took my words as fart, saying that he did it for her own good. It was nonsense. In a fit of anger, I punched him in the face. As a result, he also got angry and grabbed me. I won’t say anything later, but you can guess it? We fought in the narrow space in the car. At first I thought he was just a pervert with no strength to restrain a chicken, but the man is really strong. I completely lost myself in the fight, and by the time I regained my senses, I had strangled him to death."

Mizuki said casually.Her tone of voice sounded like she was describing a movie scene.Zhe Lang felt that there was no sense of reality. "He didn't move at all. No matter how I shook him or patted him, there was no response at all. At that time, what I thought in my heart was——I finally killed him." A smile appeared on Meiyue's face, "I didn't realize it. When I realized that I had committed a crime, I didn’t think it was a pity that he died. I just felt angry that he died so easily.” "Did you not call the police?" "I didn't want to call the police at all. It's not worth going to jail for this kind of person, so I decided to run away."

"The body was left there without disposal?" "I fled after driving to a hidden place with people and a car." "Then are you going to run away like this?" When Zhe Lang asked, Mei Yue shrugged. "I know it's better to surrender. Just having a different body is troublesome enough. If you are wanted again, you won't be able to live like a human being." Zhe Lang thought to himself, it should be. "Honestly, I barely closed my eyes last night, wondering whether I should turn myself in. I subconsciously looked at the calendar and realized that today is the third Friday in November. I suddenly wanted to see everyone, to see Everyone will make plans later..."

"In that case, why don't you come in the shop?" "I want to go in. However, I'm afraid that if I don't turn myself in after meeting everyone, I might cause trouble for everyone. If I think about it this way, I won't be able to go in." Mei Yue put her hand on her forehead and shook her head. Shaking his head, "I'm really useless, since I thought about it, just leave right away..." "Then we found you when you were hesitating, shouldn't it be better for us to pretend we didn't find you?" Mizuki tilted her head slightly. "Well..., I don't know either. I think it's good to be able to chat with you QBs. It makes me feel much more comfortable to be able to speak my mind."

She looked up at the night sky, twisted her neck left and right to relax her shoulders and said, "The confession is over." She smiled at Zhe Lang. "Are you still hesitating whether you should surrender yourself?" "No, I've made up my mind just now," Mei Yue blinked, "I'll turn myself in to the police as soon as the sun breaks." "Is this really good?" As soon as Zhe Lang said, Mei Yue's eyes widened in anticipation of his words. "Do you want to stop me?" "No, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I don't want you to go to the police, and I think it's best to turn yourself in at this time. I'm still wavering between personal feelings and principles, but I think the best Strong feeling or surprise, I'm so shocked now I don't know what to do."

"Because QB is a person who lives in common sense. That's fine, you don't have to worry. It's painful for me that you torture yourself like this. You just pretend you didn't hear anything and go home." How could it be possible to go home after she said so, Zhe Lang stood still. "Isn't it morally justifiable...?" Mei Yue seemed to see through his state of mind. "Then I'll disappear. Thank you very much, and say hello to Risako for me." She took her sports bag back, turned her back to Zhelang, and stepped forward without hesitation. "Wait!" Zhe Lang called to stop her.Mizuki, however, did not slow down.He ran after her and grabbed her by the shoulders. "I told you to wait!" Mizuki wanted to shake off his hand, but he refused to let go.She grabbed Zhe Lang's arm and tried to wrestle his hand away, so his fingertips exerted more force. Mizuki grabbed his arm and smiled wryly. "As expected of a man, a man's arms must be so strong." "Anyway, you come home with me again. Otherwise, how should I explain to Risako?" "Just say what I tell you." "That's up to you, she must also want to hear it from you." Meiyue's grip on Zhe Lang's arm suddenly loosened.At the same time, she sighed and shook her head slowly. "QB, don't push others. Do you want me to repeat the terrible thing again?" "If you go to the police, you'll have to repeat it countless times until something goes wrong with your head. Before that, say it again in front of Risako." "QB..." "I won't let go. Even if you run away, I will chase after you. My legs are still alive and well." "I see," Mizuki lowered her shoulders. "It was a mistake for me to want to see everyone. If I had known that I would not see everyone, I would have turned myself in." "It's too early for you to draw conclusions." Zhe Lang gently pushed Mei Yue. When they returned to Zhelang's house, they found someone sitting on the steps of the entrance, it was Risako.He saw Zhe Lang and the others and got up from the stairs. "You're back." This sentence was said to Mizuki. "I caught her slipping away and ran after her and found it in the park." For Zhelang's explanation, Risako just responded casually, her eyes still fixed on Mizuki. "Hiura has something to say to Risako. It's very important, please listen to her." Risako nodded without saying a word, with a thoughtful expression.She was probably imagining what would happen, but any imagination was definitely not as amazing as the reality. "now?" "If you don't say it now, there is no way to say it. It will be too late tomorrow." After Meiyue finished speaking, she glanced at Zhe Lang.
