Yuan Hua was drying his hair with a hair dryer when the phone alarm was ringing.She put down the hairdryer and walked out of the bathroom.The phone is on the bed.She hastily swiped a few times, and the alarm stopped. Is it finally here—— Yuan Hua began to dress.The hair is still a little wet, but there is no time to dawdle.She didn't know when the other party would act.It should not be now, but it is always right to prepare early. Get dressed and put on a pink nylon hat.This is to prevent Takeo from losing sight of himself.Better to leave him a prominent mark. Walk out of the main entrance of the hotel, cross the road, wait for a while, and a taxi comes.Yuan Hua raised his hand to stop the taxi, got in, and told the driver the destination.The driver's response was a little cold, probably because it was too close.

Yuan Hua took out the small mirror from his bag and peeked behind him.Sure enough, a white car followed closely behind.Sitting in the driver's seat is Takeo, wearing black-rimmed glasses. Could it be that he is planning to change clothes? The destination was approaching, she told the driver and stopped the car.After paying and getting out of the car, she looked tens of meters away. A small building surrounded by white walls is particularly conspicuous in a quiet residential area.That was the home of Yoshiro Mizushiro.Now Yoshiro's wife Chisato lives alone.At that moment, she must still be at home.

Because she was waiting for Amakasu's call. No, maybe the call has already come.She is likely preparing for her next move. Yuan Hua turned around abruptly, and a little car was parked a little further away.Takeo in the driver's seat lowered the back of the seat and covered his face with a hat. She walked to the left side of the car and opened the rear door.The man lying on the back seat let out a soft cry and stood up.It was a young employee working at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics. Takeo in the driver's seat looked back, his eyes widened, and he seemed speechless.

"Go back to the research institute." Yuan Hua said to the staff member, "Just say that you have found me, okay? Alright, let's go." The man looked at Takeo in bewilderment.Takeo nodded, and he picked up a travel bag next to him and got out of the car. Yuan Hua then got into the back seat, looked at the staff members who were walking away quickly, and asked Wu Wei: "How much does he know?" "I don't know almost anything. I just watch for me when I doze off. I told him that as soon as Miss Yuanhua leaves the hotel, he will wake me up." Takeo adjusted the backrest of the seat back to its original state, Take off your hat.

"Oh, it's really hard work." Yuan Hua looked at a cardboard box beside him.Inside is bread, drinks and so on. "I didn't expect you to have found out that you were being watched." "Do you think I'm a fool? Hey, you'd better take off your glasses too, it doesn't suit you." Takeo took off his glasses. "What are you going to do next?" "Hey, that's weird. Didn't you say that you are not allowed to ask me questions?" Yuan Hua looked at Takeo who was embarrassed and silent, and smiled slightly, "There is a house in the white wall over there, right?" She pointed to the front door Opposite the windshield.

Yes, Takeo nodded. "A woman will come out of there. Just wait. When she comes out, I'll tell you what to do next. Understand?" "Okay." Takeo sat up straight vigorously. Yuan Hua leaned back, took out a buttered bread from the box and ate it.The bread is not very sweet, but it is quite delicious. She remembered that Qian Ren had a sweet tooth.Although in the institute, Qian Ren and Yuan Hua were basically tested separately, but during breaks, the two of them would meet together.He's always eating something sweet like chocolate. The two talked about the world, and there was a lot of content that only the two of them could understand.They also discussed whether if monitoring equipment is installed at certain points on the earth, it is possible to predict earthquakes through seabed fluctuations and real-time temperature changes.The joy in such discussions is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

During the conversation, Yuan Hua felt that Qianren had a deep sense of loneliness for a long time.Although I can predict all kinds of things, but I have no companions to share with, and it gradually turns into a feeling of being abandoned.Yuanhua has a humble person, but the humble person is always alone. Therefore, after finally getting a companion, Qianren opened his heart.One day, Qian Ren confessed something very important to Yuan Hua, and Yuan Hua couldn't believe it for a while. This is related to the hydrogen sulfide incident at the Amakasu family.Qianren said that it was not suicide, it was murder, and he knew who the murderer was.

"I heard it from the man himself, so it must be true." Qianren did not name the murderer, but it was obvious.He learned about the murderer in a vegetative state, and at that time, the people he could meet were extremely limited. Qian Ren said that the motive was very simple, it was the murderer's egoism.A selfish crime by an eccentric man. "You can't let that person go, you must punish him. So at that time—" Qian Ren stared at Yuan Hua, and said, "I will leave the rest to you." Yuan Hua understood what he meant.In order to get revenge, he decides to leave the Institute and will not return.After the revenge is successful, he intends to end his life.

This is not good, Yuan Hua murmured.But other than that, she couldn't find any convincing words.She understood that persuasion was a waste of effort. From that day on, Yuan Hua was a little absent-minded.She couldn't help worrying about Qianren.I also want to go to find someone to discuss it, but I can't break the confidentiality agreement. The frightening thing finally happened, and Qianren disappeared.We all do not know the reason, helpless.But Yuan Hua still couldn't tell the truth.She wanted to find Qianren, but the research institute seemed to have noticed something, and assigned her a bodyguard to monitor her actions.

Yuan Hua couldn't do anything, and the time passed day by day like this.Then, she learned about the incident at Chikuma Onsen.Qian Ren finally started to act.After reading the profile of the victim, Shuicheng, she speculated that the crime had something to do with Saisei Amakasu. Can no longer wait and see.It happened that heavy snow was about to fall in the metropolitan area, and the weather forecast failed to make accurate predictions.She couldn't let such a good opportunity slip away, she made up her mind and made an escape plan. After successfully escaping, Yuan Hua immediately went to Chixiong Hot Spring to investigate.It must have been done by a humble person.However, an accomplice is required.She estimated that most of the accomplices were the victims' wives.So she stayed in the hotel where they used to live, secretly looked through the accommodation register in the middle of the night, and investigated the situation of the Shuicheng couple.

What will Qianren do next?Is there anyone else who needs to be buried before killing Amakasu?Not long after, the same incident happened again in Tomate Onsen.The identity of the victim was unknown, but when she heard from the scholar named Qing Jiang that the deceased was an unknown actor, she became more and more convinced that this was also done by Qianren. But why limit yourself to hydrogen sulfide poisoning?Do you want them to taste the same pain as yourself?But this will only make Amakasu Saisheng more vigilant. While thinking, she gradually discovered Qianren's purpose.He wanted to specifically inform Amakasu Saisao that he was avenging the incident eight years ago.This is tantamount to announcing that, in fact, he has not lost his memory. Why do you want to do this?One of the purposes is to force Amakasu to come out.Qianren knows the truth, and Amakasu must regard him as a thorn in his side, and must get rid of him no matter what.If you want to get rid of Qianren, you have to get close to him, so that Qianren can take revenge in turn. She also understood the situation laid out by Qian Ren.The only accomplice who was used should be Chisazu.Kento ordered her to call Amakasu. At this time, she would definitely use Mizushiro Yoshiro's cell phone.Because if it was an unfamiliar caller number, it would be difficult for Amakasu to make a judgment.If it was a call from Shuicheng, Amakasu would be able to find out that it was a trap.That's right, Qianren had expected it, only when he knew it was a trap, would Amakasu take the next move. Yuan Hua tried to call Yoshiro Shuicheng's cell phone, but the cell phone was not turned on.However, one day it will be turned on, and by then, it will usher in the final chapter of Qianren's revenge plan.Yuan Hua remodeled his mobile phone, and made an anonymous call to Shuicheng every five minutes. If he got through, the alarm would ring.That's what the ringtone just meant. Mizushiro Chisa has already called Amakasu Saio.But Amakasu, who is extremely wary, probably won't answer the phone right away.She should leave a message for Amakasu.Amakasu called back after hearing the message. What's next?Unfortunately, Yuan Hua didn't know either. When she came back to her senses, she found that Takeo was whispering something, and seemed to be on the phone.He said "Understood", hung up the phone, and put the phone back in his inner pocket. "Who are you calling? Do you know anything?" Yuan Hua asked. "Miss Tong Gong. She asked me to follow Miss Yuan Hua's instructions temporarily, and I replied 'understand'." It seems that the staff member has already reported the situation. "Oh, good. All we have to do is wait." "Excuse me," Takeo turned his head slightly, "may I ask a question?" "Not really, but I'll give you a license. What's the problem?" "If a woman comes out of that house, are you going to follow her?" "Yes what's the matter?" "Well, there is something I want to tell you first." "What's up?" "The vehicle is equipped with a transmitter, which will transmit location information to the authorities in real time through GPS." "authorities?" "Police authorities. This operation was initiated by a special team led by the Police Agency." Yuan Hua looked up at the roof of the car. "You should have said it earlier." "I'm sorry." Takeo shrank his neck. "Where is the transmitter installed? Can it be removed?" "It can't be done without special tools." This is troublesome, Yuan Hua thought.At this stage, she doesn't want to be bothered by the police. But what to do?At least, this car can no longer be used to track Mizuki Chisato. Another car is needed, another helper.Is there such a person?It's hard to find people who don't know the truth and are willing to help.Then, it is only to those who know the truth to some extent. A person's face appeared in front of his eyes.Because I don't want to involve him anymore, I have unilaterally broken contact.However, in order to solve the urgent need, I can't take care of so much. Yuan Hua took out the phone from his pocket.
