Chapter 1171 Being a Stranger in My Hometown Alone

"Kakaka"

Nobuhiro lazily leaned on the soft backrest of the car, nibbling on the Pocky in his hand.

Throwing the last chocolate-coated biscuit into his mouth, he clicked on his phone and looked at the time - 21:35

An hour and a half had passed since the fugitive's daily return home. People came in and out of the apartment door from time to time, but among these people there was no target that the police were looking for.

The Takeda team has changed their positions three times. Now the person standing under the streetlight to attract the target's attention has changed from Shinsuke Akiyama to Akiji Kano. He is smoking impatiently and his eyes glance towards Nobutushige from time to time.

Sure enough, it was tipped off.

Nobuhiro was a little disappointed for no reason. He thought the Takeda team could come up with more innovative tricks.

Finally, Shigeru Takeda, the leader of the Takeda Group, ran out of patience. He stood up from the shadows and said to his subordinates with a stern face: "That's it for today. Let's retreat."

"yes!"

The Zhutian group returned to the car one after another, revealing themselves even more. The four of them were messy in the wind for nearly two hours, and they were all a little embarrassed at this time.

"Kakaka"

Nobuhiro took out another Pocky, and while eating, he asked knowingly: "What's wrong, that fugitive is not going home today?"

"Who knows!" Sanzhi Mamoru said impatiently, "According to the information we collected, he should have other places to live besides his girlfriend's house. Maybe he doesn't want to live with his girlfriend tonight."

Kano Jingji stretched himself: "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, he won't show up today anyway."

No matter what Saegamamoru's true thoughts were, he showed great reluctance in front of Onoue Nobue: "Cunning guy, he might have smelled something, otherwise why would he choose today..."

Sanzhi Mamoru was distracted by the rattling sound. He turned around and looked: "Who is it? What are you eating?"

A biscuit was handed to Saegashira, who raised his head in confusion and looked at Nobushige.

Nobuhiro smiled at him: "Try it, Pocky's new flavor."

Sanzhi Mamoru: "..."

"Officer Ogami, did you bring snacks when you came out?" Akiyama Shinsuke opened his mouth in surprise.

"No." Nobuhiro kept the smile on his face, "I went to the convenience store to buy it while I was waiting for you."

With just these words, the expressions of the four members of the Takeda group instantly became strange, and Saegamamoru cast a fearful look at Nobushige.

They were lying in ambush not far from the car, but no one among the four found that Onoe Enkata had left. It might be possible for just one person to slack off, and if the four of them didn't notice, it could only be Onagae's fault.

If he could go to a convenience store to buy snacks without anyone noticing, could he also eavesdrop on their conversations without them knowing?

Nobushige patted Saegashiro on the shoulder: "Let's go, maybe we can catch the last train if we go back now."

Now, in the eyes of Saegashira, Onoe Enkata is no longer just an ordinary policeman from Tokyo. He even had a deep sense of fear towards Onoue Enkata.

Nobushige watched the reactions of the four members of the Takeda group and discovered something very interesting. The Takeda group has evil intentions, so they are wary of the unexpected visitor Onokami Enkata. But among the four of them, it was Akiyama Shinsuke, the youngest, who behaved the most cryptically. When others were afraid to speak, Akiyama Shinsuke changed his previous attitude of not being good at starting topics and took the initiative to chat with Nobuhiro. For a while, the only sound was the two of them talking in the car.

Saegashiro sent Nobushige to the door of the hotel, and the four members of the Takeda group sat in the car and watched him enter.

When Ogami Yanfang's figure completely disappeared from the stairwell, the originally quiet carriage suddenly became noisy.

"What should I do?" Kano Akiji said in a panic, "Has Onoe Enkata discovered that we tipped off the fugitives?"

Saegusa glared at Shinsuke Akiyama: "Did Onoe Enkata happen to hear you when you contacted the target today?"

Akiyama Shinsuke quickly defended: "This is absolutely impossible. Onoe Enkata had already left the police headquarters when I contacted the target. I am very sure that there was no one around."

"We were careless. Those guys from the Police Department are different from us. It would be even worse if he was specially sent by the Security Bureau to fish!"

"Have you forgotten, Saeda, Onoe Noukata is from the Criminal Bureau, he is not a police officer!"

Saegashiro waved away Kano Akiko's arm roughly: "Of course I know! But who can prove that it's not a fake identity?!"

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated. The higher-ups have no reason to investigate us, and we don't have..."

"Okay." Takeda Shigeru said calmly, interrupting the increasingly outrageous conjectures of his subordinates, "Things are not that bad. Onoe Enkata just went to the convenience store to buy some snacks. He was waiting alone in the car. It's been a long time, just a trip to the convenience store, don't make a fuss."

As soon as Takeda Shige opened his mouth, the other three people immediately fell silent.

"Akiyama."

"Yes, dad." Akiyama Shinsuke responded obediently.

"Have you negotiated with the target as I requested?"

"Yes, I told the target not to go home tonight if he didn't want to go to jail. Then I gave him the address of the mountain cabin and asked him to wait for me there."

Takeda Shigeru nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, his girlfriend will definitely tell him what happened tonight, and he will only trust you more. Tomorrow we will go to discuss business with him. Akiyama, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Onoe Enkata."

"yes."

The four members of the Takeda group would not know that their seemingly secret conversation had already been recorded by Onoe Noukata.

Nobuhiro put on his headphones and left from the back door of the hotel. In order to prevent some people from treating him as a thorn in their side that had to be removed, and also to ensure a complete and high-quality sleep, Nobuhiro did not reveal the hotel where he was staying temporarily. Tell Saegashira.

However, judging from the exchanges between the Takeda group, it seems that they don't have the guts to kill yet.

These police officers were so careless that they dared to discuss such a confidential topic in the car where Onoe Enkata stayed alone for two hours. If Nobushige didn't do something secretly, he would be sorry for the Takeda team's "trust" in him.

Nobuhiro sincerely hopes that the Takeda Group's plan will go smoothly, so that tomorrow he will be able to follow the clues and catch on-site evidence of the complicity of the police and criminals.

Xinfan returned to the hotel with satisfaction, took a simple hot bath, packed up and went to bed to rest.

The sky in Nagano is different from that in Tokyo. Without the neon lights shining all night long, the night sky here is darker and deeper. A crescent moon hangs on the horizon. Occasionally, clouds drift by, half-covering the moon, leaving only a dim halo.

Others were just strangers in a foreign land, but Nobuhiro felt that he should be considered a stranger in his "home" land.
