[Megumi Aiko [4]: Ahh! What the hell, I see Bourbon here! Is this really a daily case or some unrelated case and not some kind of Black Organization's case?
High School Student [2]: Huh? Where did you see him? Akai Shuichi is still alive and well and you have already seen Bourbon? Isn't this a bit too fast?
Drug Dealer [3]: Where is it? Is he working part time somewhere again?
Megumi Aiko [4]: Ah yeah, he's working part time in a convenience store and there's an attempted murder here. Oh, there's a second crime scene, though and I'm going to be sent there. Ahh, Bourbon is looking in my direction, does he think I act weirdly?
Public Security Officer [5]: Calm down, no. 4. You have no connection whatsoever to the Black Organization and there's no need to attract the attention of a suspicious person like him. Well, if you did attract his suspicion… just be prepared to have your file being read.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Vice leader! QAQ
Member of the Organization [10]: if he ever questions you, just say that you see a suspicious person in the alley. Me and someone else had just finished the trade. That gunshot startled me, but we still managed to finish the deal. I did see you before completely leaving and oh, the man I traded with had a long scar on his cheek, so you can say that you're startled by his appearance.
Megumi Aiko [4]: Great! Thank you, no. 10]
Because at this moment, no. 4's action of stopping at the door of the convenience store did seem so abrupt.
"Aiko, what's wrong?" Inspector Megure looked at his subordinate who stayed still and frowned.
"Oh, it's nothing." Megumi Aiko glanced in the direction of the mirror that reflected the disappearing figure on the opposite side of the road. Should she say that no. 10 was really sharp enough?
She felt that if she were to compare the IQ of the people who were in their group, she was definitely among the bottom. After all, there were no skills that could increase their intelligence and it was basically innate.
*sigh*
The game skills still have their own limitations.
Amuro Toru was alert when he saw Megumi Aiko pausing after entering the convenience store. But when he saw her gaze lingering on the mirror, he quickly turned to look outside and saw the man that was leaving. He purposely covered himself and there was a long scar on his face.
Perhaps this female police officer was startled by his appearance.
After all, it was not exactly a handsome sight.
Amuro Toru moved his gaze away.
Megumi Aiko didn't know whether she had dispelled Amuro Toru's suspicion or not, but she quickly started her work.
Inspector Megure soon understood that there was indeed a murder and based on the examination of the forensic investigator, the man died around half an hour ago, matching the time that the brother said.
And the second man who was attacked said that he knew nothing.
When he left the apartment, the dead man, Takahashi was still alive.
The second man's name is Hideo and he's a local gangster there. He didn't have proper work and usually stayed with Takahashi as the other party's bodyguard and friend.
"I'm his bodyguard and I have been working for him for so many years. If I really want to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago," Hideo explained with irritation. Being accused of murder was not exactly a pleasant matter.
"You're the only person who's close with brother!" Takahashi's brother, Takayomi, shouted again in anger.
"Stop it!" The police officers had to work together to restrain Takayomi in case he tried to kill Hideo again. Moreover, he even dared to take out a gun before, which made the incident more serious than before.
However, he did have a gun license, so possessing a gun alone couldn't convict him with anything.
The two people started scolding each other.
Hikari Yuki was staying on the side with another woman who was also a visitor in this convenience store. She was fidgeting and looked like she really wanted to leave but didn't dare to.
On the other hand, Hikari Yuki calmed down and thanked Officer Sato politely.
"Officer Sato, I'll take over." Megumi Aiko looked at the two people and started her questioning. Of course, this was mostly for formality. As for Amuro Toru, he was being questioned by Takagi and his answer was impeccable.
He was working in the convenience store and didn't see anything from the beginning until the end.
After all, the apartment was right next to the convenience store.
The surveillance camera could also prove that Amuro Toru had never left his post.
Hikari Yuki blinked her eyes and looked at no. 4 in front of her. Well, hopefully Megumi Aiko would not be scared to death when she found out about her real identity.
"Name?"
"Hikari Yuki."
"What time do you come and why do you come here?"
"Uhm, I think it's a little before 8?" Hikari Yuki replied while she looked like she tried hard to remember. "I came here to buy some snacks because some of them ran out from the convenience store I usually frequented. Moreover, this place isn't that far from the apartment where I came from."
After that, Megumi Aiko asked a few more questions and then moved to the woman beside Hikari Yuki.
Her name was Sawa Terui, the girlfriend of Takahashi.
When this matter was revealed, Inspector Megure realized that the number of suspects had increased from two to three and started another round of questioning.
Sawa Terui claimed that she has been in the convenience store from the beginning to the end, so there's no time for her to go back and kill her boyfriend. Besides, why would she kill her own boyfriend?
Takayomi was the first to find his brother's body and before that, he was staying at the rooftop to smoke.
As for surveillance cameras, it showed the time when Sawa Terui entered the convenience store but there was no record of her ever leaving. But there were no surveillance cameras in the apartment, so the other two people couldn't prove their alibis.
'... Such a boring trick.' Hikari Yuki looked at a certain person's shoes and could see a bloodstain mark that was mixed with the pattern there.
"Miss Hikari, it's a bit cold outside, how about if you drink some warm coffee?" Amuro Toru came in front of Hikari Yuki with a cup of coffee.
"Ah, thank you, Mr. Amuro." Hikari Yuki smiled gratefully as she took the cup of coffee and looked at the coffee store nearby.
When did this Amuro Toru leave?
So it seemed that even someone with a prominent feature like Amuro Toru could still master the skill of disappearing expertly.
Hikari Yuki felt that she had learned something.
"You're welcome." Amuro Toru smiled in a gentlemanly manner and he glanced at the police officers nearby, feeling somewhat disappointed by their slowness. Unfortunately, it was not suitable for him to appear as a detective today because someone from the organization is watching nearby.
Tsk, it's really troublesome.
"Mr. Amuro, aren't you a detective?" Hikari Yuki tilted her head in a cute manner. "I thought you would help the police officers solve the case."
"Ah, I think that the police officers are very capable and should be able to solve the case on their own," Amuro Toru replied with a bright smile, acting as if he truly believed that they were really capable.
Hikari Yuki was silent.
Capable?
She glanced at the few people inside who couldn't even see the clues that existed so blatantly in front of them and sincerely felt that the quality of the police officers was actually not good enough. Most importantly…
Is that Megumi Aiko's observation skills really 100 points?
With how she managed to overlook something that was so visible in front of her, Hikari Yuki felt that she really needed retraining.
At this time, Hikari Yuki sipped the coffee while looking at the chat group.
