Miss Izumi

The sweet cream is delicate and soft, with a rich milk flavor, which melts on the tip of the tongue when it is put into the mouth.The sponge cake base is fluffy and soft, full of egg flavor.Coupled with fresh, delicious and juicy fruits, one bite will make people feel happy.

Among the Uchiha clan, nine out of ten are sweet parties, and Izumi is also a member of the sweet parties.

Therefore, Quan, who ate cream cake for the first time in modern society, was immediately captured by this wonderful taste.

It's not pretending, there's no calculation, it's just pure taste satisfaction, and a blush rises on his face.

Quan was originally born white, and a layer of faint crimson stained his cheeks, like a magnificent and dreamy morning glow reflected on the crystal white snow, it was unbelievably beautiful.

"..."

The shopkeeper's little brother who brought drinks to the two of them was stunned.

"Ok?"

Lifting her head, Alice keenly sensed the shopkeeper's momentary pause.

Her eyes glanced back and forth between Quan and the shopkeeper, and the crisis suddenly arose.

Can not be done.

Whether this cabbage is good or bad, it belongs to Yuan Zhongye in their family, so she has to be seen by others.

Thinking of this, Alice took the fork in her hand, "Ding Ding" and knocked on the cake plate, and shouted like a child: "Ino Ino, where is my drink!"

"Ah, yes—here it is." Hearing the shout, Ino suddenly regained consciousness, and put down the drink in the tray, "Please use it."

When handing the drink to Quan, he asked, "Does it taste good?"

"Mmm! Delicious!" Quan nodded vigorously, his eyes were like stars sprinkled on the night sky, they were shining, especially beautiful, "Mr. Ino's craftsmanship is superb, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious cake!"

"Really?" Received such unsparing praise, the corners of Ino's mouth raised unconsciously, his smile was bright, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"It's true!" Quan looked up at him with adoring eyes, "The cream is sweet but not greasy, and the cake embryo is so soft that it seems to hold a cloud on the tip of the tongue. The fruit is also sweet and sour as an embellishment, which not only enriches the taste, It’s not too overwhelming. After eating the cake, I feel light and my mood has improved! Mr. Ino is really amazing!”

"Ahaha, no more..." Ino scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"...?"

Alice looked around, and suddenly asked herself an inner torture: Should I bring this guy to the cake shop?

Although it's good to develop a friend who also loves desserts, but if she accidentally gave someone an assist, how can she explain to Zhongya Zhongya who is not bad to herself!

Alice poked the cake on her plate with a fork, and was thinking about how to distract the two of them, but suddenly her whole body was shocked.

The two people next to her didn't notice her abnormality, they still chatted relaxedly.

"Is Ino-san always busy in the store by himself?"

"My sister was there to help, but she has something to do today, so I'm the only one in the store."

"So this is ah."

"But to be honest, this is a busy city, and my sister and I are usually too busy. So I'm thinking about hiring a temporary worker recently, just to help greet guests, clean tables and so on."

Quan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Temporary workers!

Coincidentally, he was still thinking about where to find a part-time job next, so here he is!

Quan was about to recommend himself, but suddenly heard a crisp "ding dong" sound from the side.

It was the clang of a fork on a plate.

Izumi and Ino, who had a good chat, stopped and looked at Alice next to them in unison.The latter looked straight through the glass windows of the store, and stared at the shopping mall diagonally across the door without blinking.

"What's the matter, little sister?"

As soon as Quan asked, Alice jumped off the chair and yanked him: "Sister! I seem to have seen Lin Taro just now!"

"Eh, eh?" Quan, who hadn't reacted at all, was staggered by her, and before he had time to say goodbye to Ino, he stumbled out of the cake shop.

He clearly knew that what was waiting for him was probably a trap, but he had no choice but to jump.

Quan sighed in his heart, but he did not forget to say in a panic: "Little sister, please slow down..."

Ino glanced at the backs of them leaving in a hurry, then glanced at the unfinished cake on the table, scratched his cheek and muttered, "Do you want to wrap it up for them..."

Alice and Quan entered the gate of the mall one after the other.

The lobby on the first floor was crowded with people, so it was impossible for them to run around recklessly like they did on the road before.Just enough time for Quan to stop and catch his breath.

He supported the load-bearing pillar in the hall, and while clutching his ribs that were sore due to a bifurcation, he panted and said, "Little sister, next time, can you tell me first, and then run again?"

There was no response.

Quan took a breath and looked up, only to find that Alice had disappeared at some point.

"Little sister?" Quan looked around, but didn't find the blond hair and red dress figure, "Strange..."

Quan turned around in place, and suddenly caught a glimpse of brilliant gold from the corner of his eye.

He looked over subconsciously, and found that Alice was bouncing towards the second floor, and now she had climbed the last few steps.

"Little sister...Alice!" The two were far apart, and Quan called out her name.But Alice didn't seem to hear it at all, and she still walked forward without looking back.

Reluctantly, Quan was worried that the child might be lost, and was just about to catch up, but unexpectedly, a boy with brown hair and brown eyes suddenly called out to stop him.

"Please wait!"

The other party walked over quickly, looking at him with a serious expression.

"?!" Quan was so frightened that he took a step back immediately, "Please, may I ask... what's the matter?"

Not long ago.

Yasumu Kanotsuka, who had lost the prisoner, contacted the driver who called the police.

The driver told him that something unexpected happened on the road where the police came.A group of gunmen violently robbed the prisoners who were being detained and going to the prison.There was a gun battle at the scene, and even hostages were kidnapped, so the police couldn't get here for a while.

"I see."

So now I can only figure out what to do...

After hanging up the phone, Yasumu Kanozuka began to think, how about he change the method and directly see the target targeted by the prisoner?

As soon as he had such an idea, when he turned around, he saw the spring circling in circles, as if looking for someone.

Yasumu Kanozuka noticed that he was not accompanied by the little blond girl, but was alone.Thinking of the murderer's method of attack, it is obvious that being alone is not a good thing for him.

So, he stepped forward directly and told the other party about the fugitive murderer.

"Eh?! You mean, kill..."

"Shh!"

Quan immediately covered his mouth, but those eyes still showed his panic and uneasiness.

Yasumu Kanozuka pushed his glasses and said reassuringly, "It's okay, just stay in my line of sight until the police arrive."

Hearing this, Quan's face showed embarrassment.He glanced at the second floor and said hesitantly, "Thank you. But... I still need to find someone."

Yasumu Kanozuka nodded knowingly: "Is that the little girl with blond hair?"

"Yes."

"I can't help it, I'll go with you."

"Eh? Will it trouble you too much?"

"It's okay. If there is a murder, it will be a big trouble."

Quan was greatly moved, and said sincerely, "You are such a good person!"

"...cough." Yasumu Kanozuka slipped his hand pushing his glasses, almost poking his own eyes.

The feeling of receiving a good person card is a little subtle for some reason...

The two walked up the stairs together.

At this time, the rest area on the first floor.

A certain man with a newspaper covering his face took out a walkie-talkie from the inner pocket of his coat and whispered a report: "A strange boy is approaching the target, and the two of them are going to the second floor together."

"learn."

On the way to find Alice, Izumi and Yasumu Kanozuka exchanged names and chatted about other things.

"What?" After listening to what Quan said, Yasumu Kanozuka frowned unconsciously, and even stopped in his footsteps, "You said you didn't know that little girl before?"

"Well, Alice said that she was lost with your lord, so let me help you find it."

Yasumu Kanozuka's expression became very serious, and he had a guess in his mind: "Could it be... that little girl is actually a bait? To lure you to a place where no one is around, and then the prisoner will attack you again."

"In this case, I don't think so." Izumi said with a smile, "Did Yasumu-kun say that before? The prisoner came from Tokyo recently, but Alice is from Yokohama, so she should have no intersection with him." .Because of the cake shop that Alice took me to just now, Mr. Ino, the owner, said that she is a regular customer there, and the other party also knows the adults of Alice’s family, a Mr. Mori.”

"Is that so..." Yasumu Kanozuka nodded, but he still felt it was weird, "Why are there so many people on the street, and she happened to find you who were trying on clothes in the dressing room to help? You said cake The owner of the store is her acquaintance, won't she ask the owner for help?"

"Hmm..." Quan scratched his cheek, unable to answer the question, "I don't know about that either..."

Just as he was talking, a bright red figure suddenly broke into Quan's peripheral vision.

He turned his head suddenly, and saw Alice's red tutu skirt at a glance—although there was only a corner, and it quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Alice!"

Quan subconsciously chased after him.

Yasumu Yanzhizuka smacked his lips, and followed him in two or three steps: "I told you not to act alone."

"Hug, sorry..."

What they didn't expect was that the serial murderer that Yasumu Yasumu was looking for was hijacked into the safe passage at the corner of the third floor.

The entrances and exits of the safety passage upstairs and downstairs, including this floor, were all blocked by people, and no one else approached.

Tachihara Michizo, who received the report from his subordinate through the walkie-talkie, turned around and nodded to Hirotsu Yanagi who was smoking.

The latter crushed the cigarette, and said to Yin, who was stabbed across the prisoner's neck, "Let him go."

Yin neatly put away the knife.

Even though the sharp knife had been removed from the vital part of the neck, the panic on the prisoner's face never disappeared.

He looked at the group of people in front of him in panic, sweating uncontrollably: "You, you... who are you?"

Guangjin Liulang straightened his gloves, strolled up to him, and put his hand on his shoulder.

"If you obediently do as I tell you, then we are the good people who will help you get out of the hunt and regain your freedom."

the other side.

After learning from the shopping guide on the first floor that Izumi was taken away by a little girl with blond hair and red skirt, Zhongya Nakahara silently found Mori Ogai who was waiting in the car.

Mori Ogai was not surprised by his arrival, and even asked Nakahara Chuya to drive to the shopping mall building very naturally.

"What we talked about before is based on the premise that the girl is not a person with supernatural powers."

Mori Ogai folded his hands on his knees, and said unhurriedly: "Although, under normal circumstances, we can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep."

"But what if this person realizes that if he keeps pretending, he will never wake up?"
