The rain started just now, and now and then it will intensify for a while.Yuan Hua checked all kinds of weather information on his mobile phone, sometimes looking at the weather, and sometimes guessing the wind direction from the shaking of street trees. "The weather is really weird. In some places, there may be strange clouds." "Weird clouds...?" "Hmm, troublesome clouds. Maybe it's a bad omen." What kind of cloud is that?Takeo didn't continue to ask, probably because he couldn't ask. Yuan Hua put down his phone and looked towards Shuicheng's house.The door is still closed, it is not known when Qian Zuo will come out.Is she going to stand still today?

"Miss Yuan Hua," Takeo looked at the rearview mirror, "a small white car came from behind." Yuan Hua looked back and saw a white car approaching slowly and stopped behind them. I looked at my watch, it was less than an hour before the phone call.Come in a hurry. Yuan Hua opened the back door, got out of the car, and ran towards the car behind against the rain.After seeing Qing Jiang in the cab, she opened the door of the passenger seat and quickly got in. "I'm sorry for making such a capricious request." She apologized while brushing the water droplets off her clothes.

"To be honest, I was really surprised." Qing Jiang said, "He borrowed a car from me suddenly. He also said that we will talk about the details later." "Because there's no time. Thank you, thank you very much." Takeo got out of the car in front and walked to the cab. "He will drive for you. Professor, you can drive the car in front back." "Wait, you haven't explained it to me yet." "Next time. I will definitely tell you, so you go back today." "No, I want to hear it now, otherwise I won't borrow this car." Qing Jiang tightly grasped the steering wheel with both hands.

Yuan Hua let out a long sigh.Now is not the time to dawdle, Qian Zuo may come out at any time.Takeo stood outside the car in bewilderment. "OK, well, I'll tell you. Anyway, you get out of the driver's seat first. Next we have to track someone. The professor is not an expert in tracking, is he?" "Tracking? Tracking who?" "I've said it all, I'll tell you." "Could it be that as soon as I gave up my seat, you drove away and left me?" "It will not." "No, I don't believe it." Qing Jiang unbuckled his seat belt, flattened the back of the seat, and began to crawl to the back seat with difficulty.It seems that you are really worried.

As soon as Qingjiang sat down in the back seat, Wuwei got into the cab. "How much does the professor know?" Fang Hua asked when Takeo was adjusting the seat. "Basically, I heard what your father said. For example, the special abilities of you and Kento Amakasu." "What else? Did you say anything about this incident?" "Dr. Habara made a deduction. It's really amazing. He said that the two hot spring areas happened at the same time as a revenge drama directed by Amakasu Kento. The root cause was the hydrogen sulfide poisoning incident eight years ago, and the first incident of that incident The conspirator is Amakasu, so Qianren's final target is his father."

Yuan Hua took a deep breath and shook his head. "As expected of a genius brain scientist, he can see through to such an extent. I really admire Dad. In other words, he can even see that Qian Renjun's amnesia is just a play?" "Mr. Qianren remembers his age. The doctor has always doubted about it. This incident has convinced him of this." "Oh." Yuan Hua recalled his father's face, and murmured again, "It's amazing." Qian Ren also said that answering his age may be the biggest mistake. "It's unbelievable. Dad actually wanted to kill the whole family. If I hadn't heard about paternity deficiency from Dr. Habara, I might not have believed it."

"Paternal Deficiency? What's that?" "Don't you know? It's a brain defect shared by Amakasu and his son." "What's the meaning?" "Take a white mouse as an example—" At this point, Qing Jiang suddenly stared at Yuan Hua with an unhappy expression, "Wait, why am I talking about it? Are you the one who wants to explain?" "However, if I don't confirm how much the professor knows, I don't know where to start from explaining." "Didn't you say that, I basically know everything." "Miss Yuan Hua," Takeo called out, "come out."

"Huh?" Yuan Hua looked forward.A red Maserati drove out of Shuicheng's garage. Takeo started the engine.Yuan Hua turned around and clasped his hands together. "Sorry, professor, we are going to start tracking, you can get off here." "Huh? What are you talking about? I haven't heard anything from you yet." "Talk to you next time. Absolutely. Please." "No, I won't do it." "Miss Yuanhua," said Takeo, "if you don't follow now, you will lose track." She thought for a second, then ordered: "Let's go." Takeo stepped on the gas pedal.

The red Maserati was five cars away from them, and it wasn't fast either.Probably out of safety driving considerations.Or maybe it was because he was worried that he would be stopped by the traffic police if he didn't make it right, that was no joke. After driving from home, Maserati drove a short distance on ordinary roads, and soon got on the highway.Thirty minutes passed, and it was still unclear where Qian Zuo was going. Qing Jiang in the back seat was silent.Yuan Hua had already explained to him the reason for following Qian Zuodu, and he also expressed his understanding, but it was too late to get out of the car.Yuan Hua had no choice but to take him along with her, and Yuan Hua made up her mind.

Qingjiang explained to her what paternity deficiency is.After hearing this, Yuan Hua suddenly realized.Humble people do have a cruel side.When he was visiting a temple fair, he saw a chicken seller and said that it would be good to eat roasted chickens.Yuan Hua said he was cruel, but he was puzzled: Since you can eat chickens, why can't you eat chicks?Another time, a seriously ill man came to the University Hospital.After learning that this person could only live for a few more years at most, Qian Ren said that it would be better to let him die early.Yuan Hua said that to his relatives, even a few years are very precious.But Qianren didn't understand: if he insisted on living, he would be the one who suffers.

It was Amakasu who gave Qianren such blood.It won't be long before the two men face off.Don't know what to expect, but it certainly won't be smooth sailing. In Yuan Hua's view, it doesn't matter whether Amakasu lives or dies.She felt it was his retribution.The problem is humility.Once the years of resentment are settled, he will end his own life, and she will stop this matter no matter what. She was looking at the Maserati in front of her and thinking, and Qing Jiang spoke from behind. "Have you ever heard Mr. Qianren say that Amakasu had the motive to kill the whole family?" "He said it was egoism." Yuan Hua didn't look back, "It was a crime committed by eccentric people at will." "How about specifics?" Yuan Hua shook his head. "He didn't say." "Oh……" "What?" Yuan Hua turned his head slightly, "Does the professor know anything?" "I don't really know. It was said by the police officer following the incident. It was the police officer Nakaoka who told you just now. He heard some interesting things about Amakasu Saisheng. It is said that Amakasu was a perfectionist when he was young. , I hope I am a perfect person, and I force my lover to conform to my ideal.” "Well, it sure is a weirdo. So, what are you trying to say?" "Maybe Amakasu killed his family because of perfectionism?" "Eh?" "Wife, daughter and son, all are far from the ideal image he has pictured in his mind. It's not perfect, so they have to be erased and killed. Is that right?" "What's this? Since you're not satisfied, wouldn't it be fine to run away from home? Divorce your wife and separate from your children, that's also very good. Then go to build an ideal family. Could it be that he is reluctant Alimony?" "Probably not. Probably it has nothing to do with money. Amakasu may feel that their existence itself makes him very dissatisfied. Therefore, it is meaningless to separate them." "How come..." Yuan Hua couldn't continue.What Qing Jiang said can only be described as a modest person: a person with a weird mind, who committed crimes at will. "Miss Yuanhua," Takeo said, "that Maserati..." "Eh?" Yuan Hua looked forward, Maserati was turning on the left turn signal, it seemed that it was about to enter the service area. Takeo also turned on the turn signal and switched to the lane entering the service area.He continued to follow at a distance that would not be suspicious, and finally stopped at a place about 20 meters away from the Maserati. Chisato got out of the car and walked while looking at his watch. "Are you going to the bathroom?" Takeo said. "It's possible. Let's go and solve it." Yuan Hua also got out of the car.Fortunately, the rain outside is much less. As expected, Qian Zuodu went to the bathroom to urinate.Yuan Hua followed in.After walking out of the cubicle, Qian Zuodu came to the washstand, facing the mirror, with a sense of urgency in his eyes, as if he was strengthening his determination. Looking at it again, this is indeed a beautiful woman.How did Qianren get her done?Probably after careful investigation and complete preparations, he acted, right?In the end, there must have been a relationship between a man and a woman, because this is the most reasonable.But thinking about it this way, Yuan Hua felt uncomfortable for a while.Is it jealousy?She didn't understand it herself. She followed Chisato out of the bathroom and back to the car.Takeo and Qingjiang were already waiting inside. Yuan Hua looked at Maserati, Qian Zuodu had no intention of leaving after getting into the car. Suddenly, she felt that the surroundings seemed to be dark.No, rather, darkness seemed to be approaching.She shifted her gaze, then held her breath. A man in a black coat walked over slowly, surrounded by an unpleasant atmosphere.The face is very correct, but the eyes are so cold that there is no emotion. It is the sugar meal that is born, Yuan Hua is convinced.While Humble may not be happy, their looks do have a lot in common. Sure enough, the man approached the Maserati, looked inside, and sat in the passenger compartment. At this juncture, footsteps suddenly sounded from the side.Looking to the left, a lean man in a suit was standing next to the car. Yuan Hua rolled down the car window. "What's up?" "You are Madoka Habara, right?" "Yes..." She raised her vigilance.How did that man know her name? "Don't worry. I'm not a suspicious person, I'm from the Criminal Bureau of the National Police Agency." "Police Office?" "Please get out of the car immediately." "Eh? What's going on?" "I have been instructed to protect your personal safety. Please." The man bowed slightly. It seems that he came with Yuan Hua and the others.Not only is the transmitter installed on the bicycle, but there are also stalkers. Yuan Hua looked at Maserati, thinking quickly.She didn't know when Qian Zuodu and the others would take action, which made her extremely anxious. "You don't have to worry about the red car, my colleagues are following. Please stay here with me. The support vehicle will arrive soon." The man said, bending over to peek at the driver's seat, "Yes Mr. Takeo?" "Yes." Takeo replied. "Please get off the highway at the next exit and return to Tokyo. Leave the rest to us." Takeo looked at Yuan Hua, as if waiting for her to make a judgment.From that mouth, Yuan Hua noticed that there seemed to be more than one car following him, and it seemed that the winner had to be decided. "Anyway, do as he says." "Okay." Takeo nodded. Yuan Hua opened the door and got out of the car.The Maserati still didn't move. "Show me the ID," she said to the man. The man looked surprised, but immediately took out his ID with a wry smile. "Can you trust me?" Yuan Hua didn't answer, but looked around, "Which car is your colleague's?" "Park over there." The man pointed, "The black car next to the navy blue recreational vehicle." Yuan Hua went straight to the black car.The man hurriedly caught up. "What are you going to do?" Yuan Hua still didn't answer, and approached quickly, the man in the cab also looked surprised.The car showed no signs of moving, presumably because the Maserati wasn't moving. "What's the matter?" The man in the cab looked up at Yuan Hua. "Show me your ID." "what?" "ID card, hurry up." The man behind him became impatient: "Show her." The man in the cab handed out his ID.Yuan Hua reached out to take it, and examined it carefully. "Okay?" The man held out his hand. "Why is it not the Metropolitan Police Department, but the Police Department?" "You don't need to think about this kind of thing." After speaking, the man glanced into the distance and called out softly. Yuan Hua looked back and saw that the Maserati had started. "Oops. Come on, give it to me." "Got it." Yuan Hua threw the ID on the passenger seat.The man leaned forward to pick it up with a displeased face. At this moment, Yuan Hua quickly reached under the steering wheel and pulled out the car key. "Ah!" The one who yelled, I don't know if it was the one in the driver's cab or the one standing next to him.At the same time, Yuan Hua turned around and ran away. But after a while, her shoulders were grabbed, and a huge force forced her to turn around. "let me go!" "No! Return the key!" Yuan Hua gripped the key tightly and shrank back.The man tried to wrest the key from her hand. But in the next instant, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.Looking back, the man had fallen to the ground, his face twisted, and he was clutching his waist. Takeo stood beside her.It appears that he shot the man away. There is one more——Yuanhua said, looking at the cab.But before the man touched Yuan Hua, Wu Wei had already stopped him and cut his arms behind his back. "Leave this to me," Takeo said, "Please leave the car to Mr. Qing Jiang." "OK." Yuan Hua ran back to the car, and Qing Jiang had already got out of the car. "Drive, hurry up!" Yuan Hua yelled as he got into the passenger seat. Qing Jiang sat in the cab, started the engine, and turned the steering wheel hard.Yuan Hua looked at Takeo while fastening his seat belt.He was fighting with those two men, but seeing that Qing Jiang had already driven off safely, his strength seemed to be three points lighter. He is my watcher, but he is also a bodyguard at the same time—a thought suddenly appeared in Yuan Hua's mind.
