Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

I'm not afraid.

Seeing this, Shotaro wasn't in a hurry. He imitated Shotaro's actions, leaning against the railing beside him and saying:

"My name is Shotaro Sasaki, and I'm a detective."

"The person who commissioned me is Aoki, the first person you killed." He paused, glanced at Yamamura Kohei, and stated his purpose for coming here, "So, I'm here to stop you."

Yamamura Kohei, who had been unmoved, immediately stood up and distanced himself from him, looking at him warily. "Stop? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending, Yamamura Kohei..." Shotaro Sasaki said calmly, unaffected.

"You are a dopant!"

This is not a question, but a certainty.

"Stop thinking about revenge." Shotaro Sato also stood up as Yamamura Kohei did and walked up to him, staring straight at him and saying, "I think your sister definitely doesn't want you to continue like this. Give up."

"Give up? Hahahaha!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yamamura Kohei burst into excited laughter, "What do you know?!"

"detective?"

"I think it's idiotic to even mention 'backup group 1⑦⑨60③⑦⑨②'!"

Because Shotaro mentioned his sister, Yamamura Kohei couldn't help but recall that rainy night when his sister was so close, yet he could only watch helplessly as she was hit and knocked to the ground by that black car. No matter how he called out to her, she would never smile and give him any response.

Those despicable guys didn't care about my sister's life at all. They didn't apologize or offer compensation. Instead, they drove away from the scene laughing and joking. Every time I think about this...

Hatred filled his mind.

"How could you possibly understand? How could you possibly understand?!" Coming to his senses, Yamamura Kohei, with his back to Shotaro Sasaki and facing the wide road, clenched his fists and shouted angrily:

"I will never forgive those guys!"

"They... damn it!!!"

Before Shotaro could react, Yamamura Kohei rushed across the road and ran to the other side.

"Um???"

Hey! Wait a minute!

The sudden escape caught Shotaro off guard. He quickly took long strides to chase after the person, but a bus appeared right in front of him, blocking his way. At that moment, Yamamura Kohei tried to rush onto the bus as the door opened, but bumped into people getting off the bus.

"You are......"

The tall man in the black suit frowned when he was bumped, but after seeing Yamamura Kohei's face clearly, he exclaimed his name in surprise:

"Kamping?"

"Mr. Yujima?" Yamamura Kohei was also taken aback when he saw Yujima in front of him, but then he noticed Shotaro Higashi chasing after him.

Pointing frantically behind him, he said:

"Mr. Yujima, please help me!"

"Eh?"

Yujima looked in the direction he was pointing, and a person lunged at him. Yujima instinctively blocked him. "Wait."

Seeing the situation, Yamamura Kohei immediately boarded the bus through the back door.

"Hello? Hello! Wait a minute, hello."

Although Yujima didn't know what had happened, he still used all his strength to stop Shotaro.

Soon, the bus drove away, signifying that Yamamura Kang had escaped unharmed.

After watching the bus drive away, Yujima breathed a sigh of relief and then questioned Shotaro Sasaki, "What are you trying to do to Kohei?!"

"Enemies?"

"I see, you're in cahoots with those hit-and-run drivers, aren't you?"

At this point, Yujima's gaze toward Shotaro was filled with hostility.

"what???"

Shotaro's lips twitched.

You've got it wrong!!!

Her gaze fell once more on the departing bus. Frustrated and annoyed, she slapped her thigh and even rubbed her hair in frustration. "Ugh! Damn it!!!"

The criminal escaped right under their noses, and this was the second time.

And also!

This time it was just a little bit short!

The only consolation is that...

Yamamura Kohei knows the person who prevented him from getting on the bus, so perhaps he can get some clues through him.

Thinking of this, Shotaro Sakata sized up the black-clad man in front of him who was looking at him with hostility.

......

After the two introduced themselves, Yujima realized what he had misunderstood, and Shotaro also realized that Yujima was actually Yuki Yamamura's fiancé, if it weren't for that accident.

They were already married.

Yujima handed his business card to Shotaro, who took it, looked at the contents of the card, and exclaimed, "Mr. Yujima..."

"You're a painter?"

"Well, I'm just a poor, unknown painter. Sometimes I teach art at a girls' high school." Yujima waved his hand modestly, recalling his fiancée with a smile. "I met her at the restaurant where Xin worked, and we gradually became familiar with each other."

Shotaro nodded knowingly and said:

"And then you got engaged."

Yujima nodded shyly, his eyes filled with tenderness as he thought of Shin.

“We had already set a date for the wedding, in the church that we both chose, and Kangping was really looking forward to that day.”

At this point, Yujima lowered his head, his expression dejected, and his voice choked with emotion:

"But we never expected...none of us expected that something like that would happen."

"That's why Kohei deeply hates those prisoners," Shotaro Sasaki concluded.

"Of course, Kangping lost his parents when he was young. Xin is his only family. Not only him, but also the detective, and to be honest, even I hate those bastards!"

As Yujima finished speaking, he wiped his slightly moist eyes with a tissue, then packed his briefcase, glanced at his watch, and said to Shotaro Hidari beside him:

"I should probably go now."

"Okay, see you later."

The two nodded to each other in farewell.

Shotaro watched him leave, put away the business card in his hand, and sighed softly.

Those people, including Blackbeard, are truly despicable.

but!

Even so, mistakes should be handled by the police. Yamamura Kohei's use of violence to quell violence is actually wrong, so...

I have to stop him!!!

Just as Shotaro was thinking this, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He snapped out of his daze, took out his phone, and answered the call.

"Hey?"

A violent coughing sound came from the other side.

Startled, Shotaro quickly pulled his ear away, frowned, and looked at the contact on the phone before saying with a look of disgust:

"It's you, Akiko."

"What kind of talk is that??"

Meanwhile, Akiko was cowering in a corner of the abandoned warehouse, peeking furtively at a certain spot ahead. "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Blackbeard?"

“I’ve been following him all the way from that store.”

She sniffled, frowned at the blond, sunglasses-wearing man with a black beard in front of her, and said, "And now I have a very bad feeling."

Blackbeard was standing under a lamp.

He was surrounded by obstacles, as if trying to obstruct something, and he was holding a machine gun in his hand, firing a burst of bullets into the empty space in front of him, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

"Come if you can!"

"You want revenge, huh?"

"Who's afraid of who?!"

After venting his anger with a barrage of random shots, he took off his sunglasses, revealing his tired eyes.

He was still spouting threats.
