"After Mizuki wakes up, tell her what happened." Nakao said. "She'll probably blame me, why don't you wake her up, but that can't be helped. Hey, I'll try to tell her." "please." Nakao stretched out his right hand, and Zhe Lang took his bony hand.A long time ago, I passed the ball to this hand several times.Today, instead, the ball was passed from this hand; a ball named Mizuki. "It's great to see you, thank you for coming all the way." "We're going to see you." Nakao smiled and nodded slightly. "be careful."

Hearing what Risako said, Nakao raised his hand slightly, and then took a step forward.This time he didn't seem to intend to turn back.Even so, Tetsura and Risako followed him until his figure was covered by buildings. "He said ten minutes?" Zhe Lang sat in the passenger seat of the car and glanced at his watch.Risako held the steering wheel. "Well, he told us not to act rashly until then." "There is really nothing to do with him." Zhe Lang sighed. To be honest, Tetsura was not sure if Nakao really intended to turn himself in.But he understood that there was nothing he could do, and he had no reason not to accept Nakao's proposal.Now there is no choice but to wait quietly like this.

A roar suddenly came from the ear, and more than one person, several people were roaring.At the same time, the sound of a car driving was heard.Zhelang and Risako looked at each other. "Risako, drive!" "But it hasn't been ten minutes." "Don't worry about it, just drive!" Li Shazi started the engine, pulled the gear lever back, and turned the steering wheel while rapidly going downhill. The car changed direction with the sound of wheels slipping.She shifts gears quickly, trying to drive the car forward. At this time, the sharp and piercing siren of the patrol car sounded.The volumes of several patrol cars overlapped each other and drilled into the eardrums.

"Stop! Stop! Clean the sand." Just as she was about to drive forward, she stepped on the brakes urgently, and Zhe Lang's body suddenly leaned forward.As soon as he sat up straight, he opened the door and got out of the car. "Where are you going?" "wait for me here." Zhe Lang ran back along the way he had just come.As soon as he returned to the stone steps just now, he immediately rushed up without hesitation.Although he was out of breath and his lungs hurt, he still clenched his teeth and ran wildly.The sirens faded away. When he climbed to the ancestral hall, he heard an explosion faintly.He looked out of breath to the shore.

The coastal road runs east-west.The road extending to the west twists and turns, flickering, until it reaches the cape of the courtyard.He saw a number of patrol cars converging on that promontory. The sea began to glow blindingly.Zhe Lang blocked the light with his palm and stared around the cape. A few seconds later, his eyes turned to the bottom of the cape.The height from the road to the sea is probably more than twenty meters.A white, rectangular object is smoking from the rock pile below.He saw several police officers get out of their patrol cars and stare down. Zhe Lang fell to the ground on the spot.He put his head in his hands and closed his eyes.

The conversation with Nakao here flashed through my mind like a fast-forwarding video.Among these images, Zhe Lang also remembered Nakao's face through the helmet.Although he knew that now was not the time to recall the past, his body could not move.He prayed that it was all a misunderstanding.However, the possibility of misunderstanding is zero.When Nakao left here, he had already made up his mind.After all, he still couldn't change his determination. Zhe Lang sat on the ground slumped for a while, when he heard the footsteps of someone climbing up the stone steps.He thought to himself that it was probably the sand, and he couldn't lift his head up.

The owner of the footsteps stood before him.He opened his eyes and saw Mizuki standing in front of him. "Hiura, are you awake...?" "I don't quite know what's going on," she said brokenly, "but he seems to have achieved his goal." Zhe Lang shook his head. "I can't stop him." Hearing what he said, Mizuki also lowered her head. "me too." A teardrop flowed from Meiyue's eyes and fell on the ground directly in front of Zhe Lang.He remembered that was where Nakao stood before. At that moment, as if urged by some emotion, he quickly stood up.

"Let's go, Hiura. We're getting out of here." "Forget it, I don't care anymore." As soon as the words fell, Zhe Lang slapped her across the face.She covered her cheek and stepped back. "I made an agreement with that guy, I want to protect you." Zhe Lang grabbed her hand and began to walk down the stone steps. Risako buried her face in her hands on the steering wheel in the car.Zhe Lang sensed from her appearance that she also knew what happened. He opened the driver's door.Risako raised her head in surprise, her eyes were red. "Let's go, Risako. I'll drive."

"But Nakao..." "I know, we'll talk about that later." "But……" "Sit in the passenger seat!" Risako got out of the car first, and then went around to the passenger seat.Mizuki sat in the back seat.After she put on Nakao's coat, she kept touching the sleeve area reluctantly. "For the next ten minutes, both of you hold back your tears!" After speaking, Zhe Lang drove forward. The car took a shortcut to the coastal road, and the section leading to the cape was seriously congested.The police probably have started a scene inspection at the place where the van fell.Zhe Lang drove the car into the opposite lane, and heard the sound of Risako sniffling.

When passing in front of Sankai House, two men suddenly appeared blocking the road ahead.One was wearing an overcoat; the other was a police officer in uniform.Zhe Lang had no choice but to step on the brakes. The man who felt like a criminal policeman patted the driver's window lightly, and Zhe Lang lowered the window slightly. "Sorry to interrupt, but we would like to ask two or three questions." "What's the matter?" "This car was parked in the parking lot just now, right? I think this lady should be sitting in the driver's seat." The detective pointed at Risako.

"So what?" The palms of Zhe Lang's hands holding the steering wheel began to sweat.He pretended to be calm with all his attention, telling himself that he must not reveal the slightest flaw. "The thing is, we are investigating a murder case. Excuse me, are you traveling or?" "Well, it's travel." "Why park the car there?" "Pure rest." "Where are the others when only this young lady is in the car?" "Where? Just take a walk in that area..." There was a suspicious look on the man's face.He probably had his eye on this car a long time ago, and the reappearance of the car that disappeared once made him want to check it out. "In terms of form, I want to ask about the identities of everyone, is that okay?" "No problem." Although Zhe Lang pretended to be looking for his driver's license, he was very nervous.How to explain what happened to Mizuki?Of course not mentioning her real name. At this time, Zhe Lang heard the voice of "Hey, what are you doing?"Zhe Lang looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that Hayata was trotting towards here. "Hayata..." "What are you doing here?" Hayata came to the side and asked. The criminal policeman said to him, "So it's your friend?" "Yes. This gentleman's surname is Nishiwaki, and he is a freelance reporter. I asked him to help cover this murder case....Show him his business card!" After Hayata said this, Zhe Lang handed out his business card.After reading the business card suspiciously, the detective looked at Hayata dissatisfied. "Did you ask him to ambush here?" "Shouldn't it hinder you from handling the case?" "You are looking for trouble here by poking around and disturbing us." "I'm really sorry if it caused you any trouble." Hayata bowed his head honestly and apologized. After the detective smacked his lips, he checked the car again. "What about the other two?" "The lady next to me is a photographer named Takakura Risako." Risako grasped the timing and handed out the business card.The criminal policeman stacked it with Zhe Lang's business card and nodded slightly. "What about the people behind?" "He is..." After a while, Hayata continued nonchalantly: "It's also my friend, named Nakao Kosuke. Because he is very familiar with the roads in this area, I asked him to accompany him." Zhe Lang was taken aback, but he didn't show his surprise on his face.He glanced at Hayata, who only blinked once. "Mr. Nakao...is that right?" The detective looked confused and expressed doubts about Mizuki's gender. "Can I see your business card or ID?" "He didn't seem to be brought out today." Zhe Lang said. Just as the detective's face darkened, Mizuki said in a thicker voice than usual: "No, I have it." She took out Nakao's wallet from the pocket of her coat, took out her business card from it, and handed it to Zhe Lang. "It says Mr. Gao Cheng." The detective said after reading the business card. "This guy got divorced recently, and he was the son-in-law before." Zhe Lang said, "I think you can find out if you ask." After the detective put the three business cards into his pocket, he scratched his nose. "Don't mess around in the future." The detective said to Hayata. "Yes, I'm very sorry." The criminal police left with the police, only Hayata stayed behind. "Hayata..." "Go!" Hayata didn't look at Zhelang. Zhe Lang nodded and drove forward.When he looked in the rearview mirror, Hayata had already turned and left. The tight end not only catches the pass, but also plays defense to protect the quarterback -- Djelan recalls that.
