Go back in time by 5 minutes.

"Eh? Who left this notebook?" The classroom where the meeting had just started was almost deserted. Before leaving, a student spotted a lonely notebook on the desk with sharp eyes.

He picked it up and took a look, "The name on it says Igarashi."

"Igarashi's words don't seem to have gone far, whoever goes there and chases them will send them over!"

"Forget it, let's take it first, and give it to her tomorrow, okay?"

"Oh, that's true."

Just as he was about to stuff the notebook into his schoolbag, a slender and bony hand stopped him, "Why don't you give this to me? I'll go and return the notebook to Igarashi."

"Muraze?" The two people who spoke happened to be in the third grade of high school, and they both knew Murase.

"Oh... then I'll give it to you." The boy who picked up the notebook was taken aback for a moment, and then put the thing in Murase's palm.

"Then I'll leave first, do you still want to stay in the school?" After putting away the things, Murase curiously asked the two people who were not ready to leave yet.

"We have to wait for one more person, that guy has gone to the toilet." One of them smiled heartily, and then said, "Muraze, you go first!"

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Murase quickened his pace and walked outside the school.Suddenly, he stopped at the spot and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone to make a call to Igarashi Yumesaki.

*

"Mmmmmmmmmm!"

The hands protruding from the dark came out of nowhere, but in the blink of an eye, Igarashi Yumesaki didn't even have time to react, and was dragged directly into an alley.

The little wild cat, who was rummaging through the trash can at the entrance of the alley for something to eat, was startled by the sudden movement, and ran out of the alley in a hurry, running into the depths of the night Far.

The man who held her captive had extraordinary strength, Igarashi Yumesaki couldn't struggle, suddenly raised her head and bumped into a pair of black eyes full of desire and murderous intent, which made her hair stand on end.

——"The recent law and order is really too unsafe, Mengsaki should remember to protect yourself!"

——"I heard that the mastermind is the serial murderer!"

The words of her mother and friends appeared in her mind one after another, and Igarashi Yumesaki suddenly realized the identity of the man in front of her.

Boom, boom, boom boom boom boom...

Her heartbeat speeded up in an instant, and her tongue became dry, almost trembling in her body, Mengsaki suddenly remembered that she still had a way to save her life.

However, the next second, before the familiar golden light came out, she first felt a cold touch on her neck, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter.

In an instant, she seemed to have returned to that afternoon seven years ago, when it was bright and sunny, but in her memory it was no different from purgatory...afternoon.

The man's sinister tone was like that of the person who was held hostage back then, Igarashi Yumesaki even felt that the position of the blade on her neck was exactly the same, "You have to be good, so that I can let you People suffer less."

Except for her parents, no one knows how much the incident that year had affected Mengsaki.

From that day until the end of the spring semester of the third grade of elementary school, for three whole months, Yumenesaki did not have a good night's sleep.As long as she closes her eyes, the fruit knife will appear in front of her eyes, and she can't avoid it or dodge it.

Later, under the treatment of a psychiatrist, she gradually came out of the shadows.

Igarashi Yumesaki thought that what happened back then had no effect on her, but today, the nightmare swept back again.

The girl's struggling movements gradually slowed down.

"Yes, that's it..." The man behind him was still murmuring, "You are such an obedient boy, why don't you reward you for a painless death later."

hum.

Hey.

The mobile phone in Mengsaki's pocket suddenly vibrated, and the lit screen penetrated through the clothes, casting a not-so-bright beam of light on this shadowy alley.

Igarashi Yumesaki suddenly woke up from the memories of the past, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, followed by a familiar male voice, "It's really strange... why didn't the junior girl answer the phone? Did you get on the train and leave?"

There was a trace of panic in the man's eyes, knowing that today's matter could not be done, he quickly put away the blade, left Yumensaki, and escaped from the back of the alley.

Yumensaki, who had been covered by a man before and could barely breathe, seemed to have come back after walking on the Naihe Bridge.She put her hands on her neck, and felt the fresh air rushing into her lungs, which made her cough two or three times uncontrollably.

The footsteps outside paused, then accelerated a lot, "Is there anyone over there?"

Murase's anxious voice moved from far to near.

Yumensaki clutched her chest, feeling her lungs were still burning, "Mura, Murase-senpai..."

"Igarashi?!"

Murase finally arrived.

=====

At 42:[-] in the evening, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department received a call to the police.The connected police officer, who thought it was a petty theft incident as before, was thinking of asking the reporter's name and location according to the original statement, but in the midst of the anxious voice of the person on the other side of the phone, his expression gradually became serious .

This phone call was directly reported by the junior police officer to the criminal police of the first search section, and these criminal police have been very busy with an incident in the past three months.

——A serial murder case that exclusively kills women.

The police car went back and forth, Igarashi Yumesaki and Murase were taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department.And she has already been taken to the police station, and there is no way to hide this dangerous incident from the mother at home.

However, as soon as he entered the office, Igarashi Yumesaki saw a familiar figure among the policemen who were preparing to take notes for them.

"...Officer Takagi?"

Takagi raised his head from the copywriting, looked at Yumensaki's face and seemed to recognize it carefully for a while, "You are not the one from last time... Igarashi, right?"

Things are always such a coincidence.

Nearly two weeks ago, in the case of robbing the convenience store, it was Takagi who rushed to deal with it.

Xu met a familiar policeman, Igarashi Yumesaki's tense nerves eased a bit, and she didn't feel too resistant when recalling.

Because Murase came from behind, he didn't even see the murderer's figure, so the burden of helping the criminal police to solve the case was all placed on Yumesaki's shoulders.It's just that the man was tightly wrapped and the sky was dark. In fact, she didn't see the man's face very clearly.

But even so, for the criminal police who haven't made a breakthrough in this serial murder for three months, this little bit of untraceable information is already a timely help.

"Did you really not see the appearance?"

Igarashi Yumesaki recalled it carefully again, and still only had the man's eyes in his impression, "Sorry, I only saw his eyes were very dark. Because the alley was very dark at that time, I could only make out these. "

The criminal police officer in charge of the recording sighed inaudibly, with a rather regretful expression on his face.

"Do you remember his height?"

"It's a head taller than me." Mengsaki gestured on her head, "So it should be about 1.8 meters."

"Is there anything else you can think of? Like clothes, wearing something."

Igarashi Yumesaki shook her head again, "I'm sorry, I'm really—" Her voice stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Takagi asked quickly.

"...Voice." Suddenly, Mengsaki thought of something, "I heard him talking, if I listen to it again, I will definitely recognize him!"

Takagi and his colleagues looked at each other, then turned their heads and smiled at Mengsaki, "Okay, let's stop here this time, thank you for your cooperation."

Mengsaki didn't remember to talk to Murase next to her until she came out of the police station. The other party really saved her life today.She opened her mouth, her tone full of gratitude, "Senior, thank you so much today..."

"There's no need to say this kind of thing so many times." Murase smiled shyly, "And I actually didn't do anything for you."

"No, if the senior didn't appear there in time, the murderer wouldn't have left because of fear." Mengsaki paused, "By the way, why did the senior appear there at that time?"

She remembered that Murase's way home was exactly the opposite of hers.

"Oh, by the way." Murase was reminded by her question, and quickly took out Yumesaki's notebook from her schoolbag, "Your notebook was left in the classroom, and I wanted to send it to you, so I just called you."

"If you look at it like this now...it's time to lose this notebook of yours."

Igarashi Yumesaki didn't expect such a reason, she was still a little dazed when she took the notebook handed by Murase, and soon there was another worried voice from behind.

"Yumesaki!" Igarashi Yumi ran over panting, probably because she came in a hurry, she was still wearing house clothes and her hair was messy.She held Mengsaki's shoulders, and looked back and forth at her daughter, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?"

"Mom, I'm fine." Mengsaki also knew that she must have scared her mother, her eyes were slightly guilty, she turned around in front of Yumi, "Don't you think I'm fine? I'm fine at all!"

Igarashi Yumi was thinking wildly all the way here, until she saw that her daughter was really not injured, the heart that was raised gradually fell to the ground.

It was only then that she noticed that the boy standing beside her daughter looked gentle, but now he was looking at herself with some embarrassment.

"Who is this……?"
