Chapter 55: The look in the eyes of Ezaki Suguha [Please read on Monday and vote for me]
The door of the security room was pushed open and the three people present looked up at the same time.
The first to come in were two uniformed patrolmen.
Following closely behind him was a security guard from the mall, and Sawayama Haruno who was walking at the end.
"Maki, Shiori"
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Zeshan Haruno, who had been worried, finally felt relieved.
Before he could open his mouth to express his concern for the girls, the inspector took two steps forward.
"Where is the sneak photographer?" the inspector asked as a matter of routine. "Please check the surveillance cameras in the mall as well."
"Okay, please follow me."
The security guard nodded quickly, turned on the surveillance video that had been prepared on the computer, and took the patrol to the utility room.
The remaining inspector began to operate the monitoring on the computer. His movements seemed very skillful, as if he had dealt with many troublesome matters in this area before.
He also took out the thief's cell phone and checked the photos in it.
Sawayama Haruno didn't have the energy to pay attention to their work progress at the moment. He looked at Miyazawa Maki and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
"without"
Miyazawa Maki pursed her lips and whispered, "I just kicked him twice in the utility room. Does it count if my toes are a little sore now?"
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno's face instantly darkened.
"Do you want me to give you a massage as well?" he said unhappily.
This kind of thing should be left to the patrol to handle. If Miyazawa Maki kicks the opponent twice, it will be difficult to deal with if any problems arise.
Fortunately, the patrol guy who was checking the surveillance nearby seemed to pretend not to hear it, so it seems that there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Shiori, are you okay?"
After caring about Miyazawa Maki, Sawayama Haruno looked at Mine Shiori beside him.
He has some complicated feelings.
I didn't expect to run into him here today. He was discussing him with Jise Nazuko just now.
"I'm fine. I didn't even notice the sneak camera thief."
Mine Shiori smiled faintly, as if she had forgotten the slightly awkward conversation they had in the classroom last week.
She explained softly, "I was lucky this time. The man admitted it very quickly. It should be fine now."
"Right."
Sawayama Haruno nodded.
He had already heard the patrolman's scolding in the utility room.
Judging from the commotion, they seem to be planning to capture the other party and interrogate him properly.
After all, he is a repeat offender, and the Japanese have almost no tolerance for secret photography.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno's gaze passed over the petite Mine Shiori and looked at the girl with a high ponytail beside her.
The other party has been staring at him intently since just now.
"Who is this"
Sawayama Haruno said hesitantly.
"I don't think I've mentioned my name before. My name is Ezaki Suguha." She said crisply, "Please give me your guidance."
After saying this, she did not forget to bow slightly to Sawayama Haruno.
The respectful attitude scared Sawayama Haruno.
What's wrong with this guy? He is obviously the same age as me, but he used honorifics and even bowed.
Could it be that I haven't understood the social rules of the island country for some time, and now they have become so strict?
"My name is Sawayama Haruno."
He quickly bowed slightly in return.
Maki Miyazawa next to them was inexplicably unhappy. While they were bowing, she quietly moved over and used her shoulder to push Haruno Sawayama away a little. "Maki Miyazawa."
Her tone was extremely harsh and her face was ashen, making her look very scary.
"Thank you very much for your help just now."
After saying that, she also bowed to the other party.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Esaki Suguha bowed again.
The two of them kept bowing to each other in the security room in such a strange manner, and Mine Shiori who was watching was a little confused.
She wondered if she should also bow twice to appear more sociable.
No, no, no, this is not the time to dwell on these issues.
Mine Shiori came back to her senses, looked at Sawayama Haruno, and said softly, "Suguha is my friend. I've been a tutor at her house lately. I came out shopping with her today."
"I see."
Sawayama Haruno finally understood.
Considering Miyazawa Maki's attitude, the one who caught the voyeur should be Suguha Ezaki, right?
No wonder the usually rebellious Maki Miyazawa suddenly bowed to the other person.
"hurry up!"
Just when Sawayama Haruno wanted to say something, the inspector who had entered the utility room had already come out pushing the voyeur thief, scolding him as he walked.
Then he looked at the three girls present.
"Who of you is free next? Although we have evidence in the phone and surveillance video, we still need someone to cooperate in taking a statement."
"I go!"
Suguha Ezaki raised her hand immediately.
She had captured the person, so it seemed okay to let her go.
Mine Shiori on the side looked a little embarrassed, but after some consideration she agreed.
This actually made Sawayama Haruno feel a little embarrassed. After all, the person who was secretly photographed was actually Miyazawa Maki. She didn't go and instead let the brave people solve the problem. It always felt weird.
So he thought about it and said, "Can we go together? We don't have anything else to do next."
"of course can."
Seeing that they all agreed so readily, the inspector nodded readily as well.
Before leaving the mall, Sawayama Haruno did not forget to go to the locker to take out the dry food he had stored, and then left with a few people.
The recording process lasted until around four in the afternoon.
Only after the matter was completely "settled" did the few people come out of the police department.
After exchanging greetings and thanking each other again, Sawayama Haruno took Miyazawa Maki and separated from them, preparing to go home from the other side.
After dealing with the voyeur thief, Maki Miyazawa seemed to be in a good mood.
She also took the opportunity to exchange LINE numbers with Suguha Ezaki.
After all, it was the other party who helped me, so I should express my gratitude again if I have the chance.
Besides, she seemed like a very nice person, maybe I could become friends with her.
The only thing that Maki Miyazawa couldn't understand was that there was something indescribably strange about the way Suguha Ezaki looked at her and Sawayama Haruno.
I always feel that that look is very familiar, I have seen it somewhere, but suddenly I can't remember it.
"Maki, let's go."
The one who brought her back to her senses was Sawayama Haruno, who had walked not far away.
The other person had half turned around, stared at him and said, "They are going upstairs to take the tram. They have already walked far away."
"Oh"
Miyazawa Maki blinked.
She temporarily put the "familiar look" behind her and walked towards Sawayama Haruno with brisk steps.
Never mind, I'll think of it later.
