Miss Izumi

"Wow--"

Quan and Alice were lying on the window of the cake shop, looking at the delicate little cakes on display with the same star eyes.

"It's so beautiful..." Quan said with emotion.

"Not only is it beautiful, but the taste is also amazing!"

The young shopkeeper came out of the baking room with a plate of freshly baked small cakes, and saw the two of them at a glance.

These two people are outstanding in appearance, even if they are thrown on the bustling street, they would stand out from the crowd, not to mention they are still lying on the window of their own shop together.

"Jingle Bell"

The wind chime on the glass door made a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Hey, you guys."

Quan looked in the direction of the sound and found that the little shopkeeper brother wearing an apron was looking at the two of them.

Thinking about what I did just now lying on the window of someone's shop, Quan blushed suddenly, and suddenly bowed ninety degrees to the other party: "I was really rude just now, I'm sorry!"

"Hey? Did I scare you? Haha, it's okay." The shopkeeper's younger brother smiled heartily, and greeted the two to enter the shop, "Stop standing there, come in and sit down."

"But, but..." Quan, who was shy in his pocket, was still hesitating, but Alice had already hopped over, "Ino, you just baked a cake?"

"Yes, Miss Alice."

Huh?

Did you know each other?

Quan rolled his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Alice turned her head and said, "Sister, come in quickly, there are some freshly baked cakes to eat!"

"But we have no money with us..."

Before Izumi finished speaking, Alice ran into the store as if she hadn't heard it, picking out snacks with a familiar plate.

The little brother of the owner smiled and said, "It's okay, Alice often comes to the store, and I also know her family's adults, so you can put on the account first as much as you eat."

"That's it." Now that Alice knew the owner of the store, Izumi was about to say goodbye and leave - Zhongya Nakahara was still in the clothing store.

"Eh? Aren't you coming in?" Seeing that he was thinking of leaving, the shopkeeper was a little surprised.

"Well, I have other things..." Suddenly, his stomach growled loudly.

Only then did Quan remember that he hadn't eaten anything this morning except for antipyretics.He looked down at his growling stomach, his face was getting redder, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

The shopkeeper seemed not to notice his embarrassment, and said softly: "I baked some cakes, you should come in and have a taste."

Quan grabbed his skirt and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no money, and I don't know the adults of Alice's family. To be precise, I'm just a stranger passing by."

"That's it." The shopkeeper nodded, and then said very familiarly, "Then treat it as my invitation!"

"Huh?" Quan opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The shopkeeper winked at him and said, "After all, you are the guest brought by Miss Alice."

When they were talking, there was a high-rise building in a shopping mall across the road.

A man in black was holding a pocket telescope in his hand, standing in front of the French windows with a wide view, condescendingly observing the spring outside the cake shop.

After Quan followed the owner into the cake shop, he took out a palm-sized walkie-talkie from his pocket, lowered his voice and said to the opposite side, "The target has entered."

After a slight electric sound, came from the opposite side: "Understood."

At this time, he seemed to suddenly see something interesting, and gave a soft "Huh".

"what happened?"

He frowned indistinctly, and said with a slightly suspicious tone: "Someone is following our target."

"Ok?"

"That guy went into the mall."

The other side was silent for a moment, and said: "I see, you continue to stare at the target, and don't worry about the rest."

"Yes."

The stalker they mentioned was the sneaky man who followed Quan and Alice all the way.

After seeing Quan walk into the cake shop, he stepped into the mall building as if nothing had happened.

There were many people in the mall, and he was dressed plainly, making him extremely inconspicuous.

He found a seat by the window in the rest area on the first floor of the shopping mall, lowered the hat on his head, and silently observed the cake shop diagonally opposite.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

When he followed Quan and Alice, he didn't realize that he was also being followed.

The person who was following him was a boy with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a pair of plain glasses, he didn't look very old.

This person's name is Yasukuni Tsukasa, and he came from a famous martial arts school.After the elder brother, who is the heir of the family, went abroad to study, part of the family's affairs fell on him.

Hearing that something happened at the dojo in Yokohama, he took the initiative to ask his family to come and have a look.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he passed by a bustling commercial street, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.

It was the criminal in a serial murder case wanted by the Tokyo Police Department.

The dojo of the Kanozuka family has sent a large number of talents to the military and police departments, and even many elders in the family hold important positions in these two departments, and the relationship is very close.

Therefore, as the second young master of the main family, Yasumu Kanozuka occasionally sees some news that only the military and police can have.

For example, the fugitive serial murderer's method of killing is to take the target to a place where no one is around, and then strangle him to death with a rope.The targets he is aiming at have two common characteristics: one is a good-looking young woman; the other is black, long and thick hair.

It is said that every girlfriend of the other party was found according to this standard, and even the No.1 victim who was discovered in this serial murder case was his ex-girlfriend.

The police investigation found that before the No. 1 victim disappeared, she had a big fight with the prisoner because of emotional problems, and finally they broke up.

On the night after the quarrel, both of them disappeared.Then in the early morning of the third day, a wandering entertainer found the victim's body under the bridge hole.

Yasumu Kanozuka heard that this guy fled to Yokohama recently, but he didn't expect to bump into him today.Moreover, he also saw that the other party was stalking a girl who met his criteria for attacking.

The girl was wearing a white floral dress, and there was a little girl with blond hair beside her.The two ran and made trouble all the way, but they didn't realize the crisis that was gradually approaching.

The current situation does not allow him to think too much.Yasumu Kanozuka asked the driver to call the police, opened the car door, and secretly followed the escaped murderer.

After the other party sneaked into the mall, Yasumu Kanozuka also followed into the mall.

But at a time like this, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or not. He had just stepped into the gate of the mall, and he ran into an elder with a fairly good relationship.

Yasumu Kanozuka noticed that the prisoner had stopped in the rest area and had no intention of taking any action for the time being, so he distracted himself and exchanged pleasantries with his acquaintances.

The other party mentioned that an art exhibition would be held in Yokohama in a few days, and asked the assistant next to him to take the ticket, handed it to Yasumu Kanotsuka, and told him that he could come and have a look if he was free.

Yasumu Kanozuka took the tickets, said he was in a hurry, said goodbye and left in a hurry.

However, what he didn't expect was that the murderer he was staring at before disappeared inexplicably after only a minute or two of delay.

He carefully searched the rest area and the lobby on the first floor, but he didn't even see anyone.

"Damn, where did you go..."

At the same time, in the clothing store.

Saying goodbye to Mori Ogai who was looking for Alice, Nakahara Nakaya walked up to the second floor and came to the women's clothing area.

This clothing store is still quite big, and Zhong Yuanzhong also took a glance, but didn't see the figure of the shopping guide before Quanhe.

"Sir, do you need any help?" Seeing him walking up to the second floor alone, a shopping guide came over to ask what he needed.

"I'm looking for someone, a girl with long black hair who wore a long coat when she first went up to the second floor."

A girl with long black hair and a long coat when she came...

The shopping guide pondered for a while, and soon remembered.She has a deep impression of Quan, after all, she is very beautiful.

"The lady you mentioned, I remember it seems... over there." She pointed in the direction.

Hearing this, Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned.

He just came from that side just now, and he didn't see Quan's shadow at all.Not to mention him, even the shopping guide lady who entertained them when they entered the door didn't see it.

Hearing that there was no one in Central Plains, the shopping guide said, "Are you trying on clothes in the locker room?"

It's possible...

But here is another problem, even if Quan was trying on clothes in the dressing room, why didn't the shopping guide who was supposed to be by his side see anyone?

Zhong Yuanzhong also subtly sensed something was wrong.

In the end, this bad premonition came true.

As soon as he walked to the fitting area, he heard a dull, intermittent knocking sound from one of the dressing rooms.

Nakahara Zhongya opened the door and found that the shopping guide lady who was with Quan before was tied up and thrown on the ground, her mouth was sealed with tape, so she couldn't call for help.

He was startled, the strong rope was like a soft boiled noodle in his hand, and it broke when he pulled it.Then he tore off the tape that sealed the shopping guide lady's mouth and asked, "What's going on?!"

The shopping guide lady looked terrified, she seemed quite frightened, and even her voice was trembling: "I, I don't know... I recommended a skirt to that lady, and she took it to the dressing room. But she Not long after entering, I felt as if something hit the back of my neck... I don't know what happened after that, I just woke up, and then I found myself tied up and thrown here..."

"Where did Quan try on clothes before you passed out?"

"The first room from the left..."

Zhongyuan Zhong also rushed over immediately, opened the door with a "bang", and found that there was no one inside, but his coat and the skirt that Quan had worn before were left inside.

His face sank like water, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Was it taken away?Or... that guy ran away by himself?

No matter what kind of result, it will not be a happy thing.

Zhongyuan Zhong also clenched his hands tightly into fists, and a storm was brewing in his eyes.

What he didn't know was that when he asked the shopping guide passing by just now, he quietly took out a walkie-talkie the size of a palm: "You can start to act."

"learn."
