Furkan came very fast, even faster than the police. He carried Seika Matsumoto out of the car, wrapped it in his suit jacket, and carefully carried him to his car. Seika Matsumoto was trembling all the time, Furkan could only hug her tightly, put his lips on her ear to comfort her: "It's okay, Yanyan, it's okay, I'm here, the police will be here soon, wait for them to come I'll take you to the hospital."

The police car arrived soon, with flashing lights flashing non-stop, and then they took the skinny man's body out of Seika Matsumoto's car, wrapped it in a body bag, and transported it away. A policewoman came to see Seika Matsumoto's situation and tried to inquire further about the case. Furkan suppressed his anger and said restrainedly: "My girlfriend has suffered serious injuries. She needs to go to the hospital for treatment."

The female police officer was very reasonable, and immediately called someone to take Seika Matsumoto to the hospital, and allowed Furkan to stay by her side. Seika Matsumoto body gradually calmed down, but her voice was extremely hoarse. She kept telling Furkan nervously: "Don't let my parents know, don't let them know."

Furkan eye circles were even more red than Seika Matsumoto, he held her hand tightly, and responded to her in a warm voice: "Don't worry, I won't let them know, Yanyan, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Seika Matsumoto's soul and energy seemed to have been exhausted in the life-and-death struggle just now, leaving only a body obediently obeying their arrangements, to go for physical examination, for injury examination, for treatment, and even to receive medical treatment. Questioning by a female police officer. Only when she faced Furkan, her eyes became a little bit lively, and she murmured to him: "Furkan, did I have a nightmare?"

Furkan hugged her tightly and told her firmly: "It's just a nightmare, it will pass soon."

He never lied to her, and things got better day by day. Every time he came to see her, he brought good news. On the fifteenth day, he came back and told her: "The one who ran away is called ' Kak Song'." They were caught, and the three of them are criminals who are on the run for heinous crimes, and they all have lives on their bodies, and it is not too much to cut them into pieces, you are fine, Yanyan, you will be fine."

She was stunned at first, and then burst into tears. The invisible fear in her heart finally found an outlet to vent, "I'm scared, Furkan, I'm really scared, I'm afraid that person will come back for revenge, didn't you see The way he looked at me at that time, he would definitely kill me."

Furkan still hugged her tightly and told her in a slow and firm voice: "No, he will never come out to hurt you again. He will be sentenced to death. The lawyer said that he will never escape the death penalty. Don't be afraid, Yanyan , I will always be with you, and when this matter is over, we will get married, we will change to a big house, have two children, and raise a dog and a cat, so that the house will always be lively!"

Seika Matsumoto eyes fell to the empty space, she was in a daze, and the scene he had described to her gradually appeared in front of her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Yanyan, time will smooth everything out, slowly, you will forget about that nightmare."Furkan said softly.

Four years later, in Kota Banzai.

Kota Banzai is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it has been famous for its beautiful scenery since ancient times. Seika Matsumoto parents didn't intend to leave their hometown before they were old, but they really liked the environment here. In addition, Seika Matsumoto settled here with her husband. Gritting his teeth, he sold the house in his hometown and moved to Nanzhao with his daughter.

The house was bought on the opposite side of the community where Seika Matsumoto lives now, separated by a narrow road, and it took less than ten minutes to walk there. Even Furkan couldn't help making fun of her: "This natal family is close, so it's convenient to run around. But I'm afraid that you will be impatient and your parents will control you, and you will complain to me in a few days."

Seika Matsumoto squinted at him, curled her feet into the sofa, flipped through the magazines in her hands, and deliberately stretched her voice coquettishly: "Husband, I have spent all my salary this month, and I have no money to apply for the beauty card." .”

Furkan smiled helplessly: "My lord, you have all the husband's salary cards in your hands, do you still need to ask me for the money?"

"I still need to say hello." She smiled with her mouth curled up, and then straightened her legs and kicked Furkan with her toes: "Hey? Furkan, when shall we go to the hospital for a physical examination? People say that the man should also have a checkup. If both parties are in good condition, the baby will be healthy!"

They've been married for two years and are expecting a baby after a bridal period of wanting to be together all day.

"Is there anything wrong with my body..."Furkan grabbed her restless feet and rubbed them gently, but leaned over and said vaguely, "Don't you know?"

Seika Matsumoto chuckled and kicked him lightly, "Go ahead, if you don't go to the hospital, I won't either!"

Furkan had always been obedient to her, and within two days he followed her to the hospital for a checkup. Both husband and wife were in good condition, and the doctor only prescribed some vitamin tablets for Seika Matsumoto to take during pregnancy. It was almost noon when the two came out of the hospital. After a simple lunch outside, Furkan drove directly to the company, but Seika Matsumoto walked around the shopping center before driving back to school in a leisurely manner.

The school she works for is not big, it has just been upgraded to a university, and she has worked hard to form a few more colleges, but there are not so many office buildings at the moment, so she packed all the teaching staff of several colleges into one building . Seika Matsumoto parked her car in the shade behind the hospital building as usual. When she got out of the car, a black off-road vehicle happened to drive in from outside and parked next to her car.

This car was very strange, it didn't look like it belonged to a school teacher, Seika Matsumoto couldn't help but slow down a bit, and took a second look.

The car door was opened, and a man wearing sunglasses stepped out of the car. He was dressed in a shirt and jeans. He was slender and tall, and looked very thin. However, Seika Matsumoto is a person who often goes to the gym, so she knows that this body type is a typical dress. He looks thin and has flesh in his clothes. Although this man looks thin, there is a strong possibility that there are strong muscles hidden under his clothes.

But she is not interested in this, she loves Furkan so much that she has almost turned a blind eye to men other than him, most of them are blurred in her eyes, and it doesn't matter what beauty or ugliness is.

The man was leaning on the car door to look at her, and asked unhurriedly, "Miss, is the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​located in this building?"

His voice is very distinctive, deep and sweet, but also indescribably cool. It should be very comfortable to hear in summer, but when it fell into Seika Matsumoto ears, she was startled. The long-ago nightmare that had been pressed into the depths of her memory and was about to be wiped out seemed to reappear in an instant.

Under the moonlight, the man's blade-like gaze swept across her face, his expression indifferent, and he said: "Be clean, don't leave any trouble."

That voice, she will never forget in her life.

Seika Matsumoto seemed to have seen a ghost, the word "help" was stuck in her throat and she couldn't yell out, she could only stare at the man in front of her in fear, and stepped back in panic. In a panic, the heel of her high-heeled shoes stepped into the gap between the floor tiles, her body lost her balance, and she fell heavily to the ground.

The man reached out and took off his sunglasses, walked towards her and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

She kept moving her body backwards and yelled in horror: "Don't come here, don't come here, there are many people here, they will rush over immediately!"

The man had no choice but to stop, smiled helplessly, and explained to her: "Miss, I don't know what caused you to react like this, but I didn't mean any harm. If I made you feel scared, then I'm sorry, I'm now just leave."

As he spoke, he stepped back slowly step by step, leaned down again kindly, and asked her, "Is it okay for you to be alone? Do you want me to call someone else over?"

Seika Matsumoto didn't speak, but shrank her body and looked at him with frightened and guarded eyes.

"OK! OK! I'll leave right away." The man comforted her softly, raised his wrist to look at his watch, pointed to his car, and added: "Miss, I will be back to drive in about half an hour."

He didn't say anything more, and strode away.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but Seika Matsumoto whole body shivered as if she had just come out of an ice cave. She was still sitting on the ground, her skirt was covered with dust, and her scratched palms were aching, but Seika Matsumoto didn't care about it, she took out her phone from her purse with shaking hands, and dialed Furkan's number.

"He found it! He found it!" She was like a frightened bird, only knowing to repeat one sentence.

"Who?"Furkan asked.

She replied in a panic: "It's him, I saw him! He came back to find me!"

Time seemed to go back to a long time ago, and she woke up from her dream countless times crying, and told him in panic that "they" were here. Furkan was silent for a while, and then comforted her softly again: "Yanyan, it's okay, they are all dead, those three are dead, don't be afraid, tell me, where are you now?"

I don't know if it was her husband's calm voice that comforted her, or the strong summer sun finally drove away the coldness in her body, Seika Matsumoto slowly calmed down and replied: "I am at school, just behind the courtyard office building."

"Is there anyone around?"Furkan asked again.

She looked around, and there were people passing by the intersection in the distance, and some students saw her, and walked over here after a moment of hesitation.

"Students are coming," she replied.

Furkan let out a gentle laugh, and teased her: "Wipe your face quickly, and be careful of students laughing at you. The weather is so hot, do you have a bit of heat stroke, and you are blinded by the wrong person?"

This reason is indeed convincing, Seika Matsumoto gave a low "um", before hanging up the phone, the boy who came to check asked her: "Teacher He, are you okay?"

Seika Matsumoto knew this boy. He was a third-year student in the English Department and a member of the student union. He often came to the hospital to help. "It's okay, I'm fine." She responded, said goodbye to Furkan in a hurry, and after hanging up the phone, she explained to the boy: "Just now, I accidentally walked and sprained my ankle."

She smiled awkwardly, trying to stand up by herself.

The boy hurried forward to help her, and asked again: "Can I still walk? Do I need to go to the hospital to have a look?"

Seika Matsumoto's heel was not high, so the sprain was not severe. She stood there and moved her ankle, and then tried to step on the ground. Although it hurt a little, it was not serious. She waved her hand, declined the boy's support, and walked slowly into the courtyard office building. As soon as she entered the office, a colleague called her: "Mr. He, you came just in time. There are parents of students looking for you."

She looked up and saw the man standing leaning against the window with his pocket in his pocket. He turned his head to look at the door, and his eyes fell on her. Her first reaction was to run away from the door, but her body was like The prey is stared at by natural enemies, and it freezes there and cannot move.

But he nodded slightly to her, and greeted her politely: "Mr. He, hello."

The colleague didn't pay attention to Seika Matsumoto's strangeness, and briefly introduced the situation to her: "This is the brother of a classmate in your class, and he came here to handle the suspension procedures for his sister."

Seika Matsumoto didn't speak, just stared at the man blankly.

There were two voices arguing fiercely in my head, and one voice yelled frantically, "It's him, that murderer, they have the same voice and the same face!"

Another rational voice told her: "Seika Matsumoto, please calm down, the murderer has been executed, this is what Furkan has already confirmed. It is impossible for a dead person to come back to life, this is another person , an irrelevant person who just happens to resemble the murderer."

The man chuckled, a little helpless, "Mr. He, I'm not a Tiger, I don't eat people. I'm Wulan's cousin, and my name is Hikaru Ogata. Look, this is my ID card." He said, unexpectedly Zhenzhen took out his ID card from his wallet, walked towards Seika Matsumoto, and wanted to show her the ID card.

Seika Matsumoto shrank back subconsciously, he saw it, stopped halfway, leaned over and put the ID card on the table between the two, and stretched out his hand to her, "You can check it."

Colleagues were so confused, they looked at Seika Matsumoto suspiciously, and asked, "Teacher He, what's wrong?"

Seika Matsumoto didn't answer, she actually picked up the ID card on the table, stared at the man warily, and lowered her head to look at the ID card carefully: name Hikaru Ogata, male, 28 years old, address is written as Nan Zhao Locally, the man in the photo is very young, he seems to be in his early twenties, with well-regulated short hair, handsome face and gentle temperament.

She looked at the back very carefully. The date of issuance of the ID card was marked on it, and it happened to be his ID photo taken when he was twenty years old.

Such a young man with a gentle temperament really doesn't look like a murderer who came from the underworld.

Seika Matsumoto silently breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized her emotions, returned the ID card, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, it's my fault. It may have caused a little misunderstanding. I'm sorry."

Hikaru Ogata smiled lightly, did not ask what the misunderstanding was, and said simply and clearly: "Mr. He, Wulan has been on sick leave due to physical reasons. The family discussed that she should take a year off from school and go abroad for recuperation. Her family It's not convenient for her parents to come here in other places, so they entrust me to come over and go through the school suspension procedures for her."
