"Could the target be the earrings?" the boss guessed.

"earrings?"

"The victim used to come to our store occasionally to show her support. One time, she came to our store drunk and showed off loudly."

The boss imitated her tone: "Look, boss, do my earrings look good?"

"I asked her if it was bought specially for her by a regular customer?"

"Her face flushed and she looked like she had drunk a little. She said without hesitation that someone had given her the earrings as a gift. She also said that the earrings on both sides were worth several million dollars and that she usually kept them in her closet."

"But it was her birthday, so she wore it on her ears."

"Then, she spoke loudly as if to show off and imply something to the others."

"This is the poor unpopular hotel lady, or the useless office worker who only comes to drink every time but can't give any gifts."

"And there are those disgusting wage earners who stare at me through the glass of the convenience store all day long. They can't afford this precious treasure even if they spend their whole lives on it."

"that's it."

"Really!" Yumi put her hands on the table, "Why didn't you tell the police about this, Boss!!"

"Isn't this because...I just remembered it."

The boss propped his chin with his hand: "Come to think of it, I remember there seemed to be another customer at that time on the day of the incident."

"There's another guest?" Sera's jaw dropped in shock.

Miaozi asked hurriedly: "When the two of us rushed to this store that day, the customers should have been only those three people just now."

"Because he finished his ramen and walked out of the store one minute before those three people arrived. He is your boyfriend, Yumi."

"He said with great enjoyment at the time, the ramen here is indeed the best."

"But... this shouldn't be possible." Miao Zi retorted: "I just said it, the murderer was running along the road in front of this store at that time."

"Then, with Yumi and I attacking from both sides, we were able to force him into the store."

Miaozi said seriously, "If her boyfriend left before the murderer entered the store, then Yumi and I should have seen it, right?"

Yumi's expression was intriguing. She lowered her head and said nothing.

She smiled awkwardly: "Actually...I met him on this road..."

"What?! Then...you were chasing the murderer at that time, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Yumi explained in a panic: "I was tripped by the water pipe that the murderer suddenly threw at me, and when I fell, he ran over."

My thoughts go back to that night.

Yumi sat on the ground, curled up with her legs bent, "It hurts so much."

"How is it? Does it hurt?" Hideyoshi asked softly, "Yumi!"

"Hideyoshi?" Yumi was a little surprised: "What are you doing in a place like this?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you!"

Yumi answered immediately, and asked seriously, "I was chasing a suspicious guy. Did you run into him?"

“Yes…I think so.” Hideyoshi turned his head and said, “But it was too dark. I only heard footsteps and saw a figure.”

Hideyoshi squatted down and checked her injuries.

"There are only human figures..."

"Also." Hideyoshi pointed to the back: "When he ran away, he also left something that looked like tape."

"Tape?" Yumi stood up and said, "Anyway, this place is very dangerous. Hideyoshi, please go back quickly. I will tell you the details later."

"After that, I didn't contact him again. After all, the case has not been solved yet..."

Baijiu secretly complained: "Considering that he is your ex-boyfriend, I don't think he is still on your blacklist. You can't contact him even if you want to..."

Miaozi pouted: "No wonder, I was wondering, it's just wrestling, why is it so slow? Can't you just tell me directly?"

"I'm sorry." Yumi apologized obediently: "I'm sorry, he wasn't out of breath at all at that time, so I knew he wasn't the murderer."

"I don't want him to be involved in this case for no reason."

Sonoko commented in a low voice: "But no matter what you say about him, if he's not out of breath..."

“That’s right.” Sera agreed, “As a police officer, it’s a bit inappropriate to just let him go back without taking any action, isn’t it?”

"How could that be?" Xiaolan tried to smooth things over: "Actually, it's okay."

Yumi showed a smug expression: "But! Since Xiuji was eating ramen here until the incident, it means he is completely innocent."

"Yes!" the boss responded with a smile.

"By the way, it turns out your boyfriend's name is Xiuji." Sera smiled.

"Yeah, but to be precise, it would be more accurate to call him my ex-boyfriend."

"After all, we have stopped dating now."

Baijiu suggested: "In that case, why not call and ask, your boyfriend should have a good memory, right?"

"It's the ex-boyfriend! Ex-boyfriend! Ex-boyfriend!!"

"Really, there's nothing I can do." Yumi took out her phone and dialed a number.

Baijiu suggested: "Shiliang, why don't you give your second brother a call? It's a good opportunity to see his ability of reasoning. Maybe he can figure out who the murderer is just by a phone call."

"Teacher Yi Yu is right! Then I'll call my second brother too!" Shiliang took out his phone: "After all, the person who introduced this store to me was my brother, maybe he has also seen that Sang man."

"Hello? Yumi darling! I'm so sorry for rejecting your invitation to a date last time. I don't know why I had to do something that I couldn't postpone when you were off work."

"It doesn't matter what happened." Yumi was not interested: "Do you remember? It was a week ago."

"I was chasing a suspicious person and accidentally fell down, and met you."

"Sorry, wait a minute, I have another call coming in."

"Please be patient and wait for me, Yumi."

"Hello? Second brother? What? You are talking to an important person on the phone and want me to call back later? Wait!————"

Yumi greeted, "Hello? Are you done with the call? Who's on the other end? Isn't that your new girlfriend?"

"Damn it! My second brother actually hung up on me." Sera complained.

The two people had their backs to each other, yet they were not aware that they were calling the same person. The scene was very funny, and there was even a sense of inexplicable synchronization.

It feels like being in a Shura field.
