Since when she was at The Peninsula Hotel, Zhong Caini booked a room on the Internet at Hoshinoya Resort, which is located halfway up Mt. Fuji and is considered one of the best hotels in the scenic area, so the two did not follow the volunteer tour guide Keiko for a long time.

On the way to Hoshinoya Resort, wandering in the natural scenery of Mt. Fuji in late autumn under the sunset, Zhong Caini has long forgotten what Sakura Kawashima and Keiko Xing Zhong. Like a happy bird, sometimes it makes a sound of admiration for the beautiful scenery in front of it, sometimes it runs lightly among the towering trees on the side of the road, and sometimes it snuggles up to Wu Ming and asks Wu Ming softly how he feels at this moment.

"Is it beautiful?"

"People or landscapes?"

"What do you say?"

"The people are beautiful, the scenery is average."

Although the praise from Wu Ming is very useful, he does not agree with Wu Ming's evaluation of the scenery in front of him. So Zhong Caini snorted and asked, "Don't you like the scenery here?" ”

"There are a lot of scenery like this in Japan. Like, like, like, wait, wait, wait....... ”

"Giggles." Zhong Caini took the initiative to take Wu Ming's left hand, turned her face sideways and asked, "Do you know?" ”

"What?"

"You're much more handsome when you're serious than when you're not."

"I've always been handsome."

"Stinky beauty, you are not serious most of the time."

"That's why you chose me to accompany you on your trip?"

"Come less. The law that boys aren't bad and girls don't love doesn't hold true to me. ”

Hearing Zhong Caini's explicit confession, Wu Ming chose to pretend to be stupid, turned his head to look at a tall larch on the side of the road, pointed to a huge bird's nest on it and said, "Look, guess what kind of bird's nest it is." ”

Zhong Caini didn't feel it, along the way, Wu Ming was not without a very intimate performance. For example, in the Qingcao Hotel in Hanoi, he coaxed himself that the room was monitored, and deliberately ate his own tofu; For example, on the plane from Manila to Tokyo, the three hijackers said "you are still us" when they had not yet shown up about hiring Filipino maids.

However, whenever he wanted to hear a further confession, Wu Ming suddenly braked unexpectedly. For example, it was still on the plane, such as a scene that happened in the corridor of the hot spring room before departure, such as now. This inevitably made Zhong Caini, who was secretly in love, somewhat confused.

However, as smart as Zhong Caini, since Wu Ming almost revealed his identity to her in the hot spring room, he still roughly guessed a little bit of the reason. Therefore, she was no longer in a hurry to get a clear answer from Wu Ming. Especially for a person like Wu Ming, who is a loner and is accustomed to living a life of trust, it will be counterproductive to be in a hurry.

"I can't guess."

"You can't guess."

"Do you know that?"

"Of course."

"What bird?"

"Japanese birds."

"you."

Zhong Caini, who suddenly laughed and trembled, pulled Wu Ming's arm hard and took advantage of the situation to stick into his arms. So much so that Wu Ming had a lot of control, and he almost reached out to hold the jade man in his arms.

"Let's hurry up, or it's going to get dark."

"Well, I feel like the wind is a little cooler."

It's not that Zhong Caini deliberately found an excuse not to want to leave Wu Ming's chest, Mount Fuji in late autumn, especially after sunset, the temperature is indeed a little low. Therefore, Wu Ming let Zhong Caini hang most of her body on her arm, and the two came to Hongxi Noya Resort half-hugged.

After dinner, Zhong Caini half-jokingly asked Wu Ming: "There will be no one watching us here, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

"Really? Then I can get a good night's sleep. ”

I don't know when, Zhong Caini, who has long been accustomed to Wu Ming's absolute trust, walked to the window of the room facing the top of Mount Fuji, listened to the gusts of pine waves sent by the night breeze, and looked at the boundless night outside and said emotionally: "How long has it been since I spent the night in such a quiet place." I really like the deep night sky and the sparkling stars. Whenever I encounter such a time, I even force myself not to fall asleep, so as not to live up to such a beautiful night view. ”

Looking at Zhong Caini, who suddenly became simple and with a trace of fireworks that did not eat the world, the delicate silhouette under the soft light, Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Xu felt something strange from Wu Ming, and when Zhong Caini slowly turned her head, she heard Wu Ming say, "Have a good rest, I'll call you in the morning." ”

With that, Wu Ming turned around and left. And Zhong Caini just looked at him for a moment, until his slightly thin back disappeared from the door.

Bringing the door for Zhong Caini, Wu Ming stood in the corridor and glanced left and right before opening the room directly opposite the corridor and walking in.

It's not that Zhong Caini didn't want to book an adjoining room like before, but there was really none, so she had to choose two opposite rooms.

Wu Ming, who returned to the room, turned on the TV casually, used the remote control to randomly select a channel, and walked over and stood in front of the open window. It's just that the window of his room is facing away from Mt. Fuji, and he can only see the faintly lit road up the mountain.

Wu Ming didn't have the heart to enjoy any night view, he knew very well in his heart that this was the last stop of Zhong Caini's trip this time, and it was also the last night. If the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters wants to do something to her, it will be their last chance. After all, Zhong Caini had already booked a ticket back to China before leaving The Peninsula Hotel, and the other party could easily understand Zhong Caini's itinerary. Recalling the bits and pieces encountered after coming to Japan, first the theater was attacked, then the appearance of Sakurako Kawashima, and finally the coincidence of Xing Zhongkeiko, which was difficult to explain, all show that the other party will not stop.

Therefore, Wu Ming has made plans on the way here - whether it is for public or private purposes, he must ensure Zhong Caini's personal safety. Tonight, then, will only be a sleepless night for him.

Standing quietly at the window for more than ten minutes, Wu Ming turned around and turned down the volume of the TV, then lay down on the bed and leaned on the head of the bed, pressing the remote control in his hand indiscriminately. It wasn't until two hours later, in the wee hours of the morning, that the TV and bedside lights were turned off, and only the night vision lights at the bottom of the porch were on. After digging out a small, button-sized object from the backpack and putting it in his pocket, he put the pillow under the quilt along with the backpack, disguised as someone sleeping on the bed, turned around and came to the window again without hesitation, leaned out and closed the window casually.

To get from the room where he lived to the outside of Zhong Caini's room across the corridor, Wu Ming had to climb three floors to the top of the building, and then carefully walk through the narrow windowsills that protruded from each floor to the windowsill next to Zhong Caini's still open window.

The windowsill is so narrow that even if you turn your body sideways, you can only put down half of the soles of your feet. Therefore, even Wu Ming could not hold on to such a posture for several hours. Although, if you move outside Zhong Caini's open window, you can better hold the window frame, so that your arms can share most of the weight of your body, but with Zhong Caini's words just now, when she is not sure whether Zhong Caini is asleep, Wu Ming doesn't want her to know the truth of the matter and be afraid.

At the same time, if Wu Ming stood outside the window of Zhong Caini's room, it was very likely that he would become a live target for Zhong Caini's attacker.

For Wu Ming, the best choice was to sneak into the room next to him, where the lights had been turned off, covered by thick curtains, and it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen or heard. In this way, she will neither alarm Zhong Caini, nor expose herself to those with bad intentions, and she can always pay attention to the movements in Zhong Caini's room.

Although I had already made such a plan in my heart, I still had to be careful when it came to the end. What Wu Ming can be sure of is that this room was booked as early as Zhong Caini when she booked the room. What is uncertain is who is living in the room, and whether the person who booked the room is currently occupying it.

Since all the windows of the building here are made of double-layer insulated glass, as long as the windows are tightly closed, no movement can be heard from the outside.

Wu Ming is not a person who likes to hesitate, and after quickly making a choice in his heart, he raised his hand and tried all the sashes on the window in front of him, and found that all of them were firmly closed, so he quickly took out the button-like thing from his pocket. At the same time, he took off his T-shirt and pressed it against his right hand, which was pinching the black button-like object and swiping vigorously on the glass outside the window sash hook.

Yes, the button-like object that Wu Ming took out of his backpack before was a small diamond grinding wheel that could cut glass.
