I clasped my hands together and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm very, very sorry, Mr. Amuro, please don't pay attention. But what I asked just now is indeed this question."

The embarrassment on his face was almost fleeting, and soon Mimi smiled again, which made me feel that the apology just now was unnecessary.

"I see. Although I don't have this experience, I am willing to hear everyone's thoughts. After all, I am also a detective. More experience is very useful..."

When he said that, I was at a loss for words.

Hey, you're a big man, isn't it a bit perverted to hear a few little girls discussing how to shelve underwear here?

He was still standing there smiling.The afternoon sun outlined a furry halo on his tall and straight body, and his face was as pure as an unworldly teenager, so I couldn't imagine his appearance when he exuded a cold aura.

The atmosphere was once delicate.As a 25-year-old eldest sister, I feel obligated to break the deadlock first, but I didn't expect Shiliang to take the lead.

"There is nothing taboo about this kind of question, of course I put it on the top of all clothes." She said disapprovingly, gouging out Amuro with the corner of her eye as if she had hatred, "But most of the time I don't wear it." underwear."

After all, he raised his undulating chest proudly.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi have black lines all over their faces.

"Me... also, I will put the underwear on top." Xiaolan whispered, still a little reluctant to let go.

"Metoo", Sonoko almost yelled, "Normal people should be like this, who would deliberately put the bra at the bottom after taking off?"

I spread my hands: "But that's how the deceased put it. Her coat is on top, then her dress, and the bottom is her corset and a pair of socks."

Shiliang's eyes lit up: "So that's the case, no wonder you always feel that something is wrong, this is indeed a suspicious point. And it's even more impossible to stuff things like socks under the clothes."

Amuro touched his chin while listening, with a serious expression, completely in the mode of starting to think, and suddenly his face became serious.

The one with the same serious expression was Shiliang.She raised one eyebrow: "You just said that the boyfriend of the deceased had a conclusive alibi, right?"

I nodded firmly.

"I feel more and more that the girl didn't commit suicide," Shiliang said, "but the only person who could be the murderer has a solid alibi. It's strange."

"If the key is the murderer, then the administrator is also a possibility." Sonoko said with a raised voice.

Amuro shook his head: "Generally not, everyone knows that he has the keys to the entire building, and he would not use such a method of killing that is tantamount to revealing himself."

He said and turned to me again:

"Miss Natsume, did the criminal police find the key of the deceased in the deceased's house yesterday?"

I froze for a moment, and suddenly understood what he meant.

"Well, I found it." Even Takagi would not ignore such a basic operation.What's more, Takagi is not an idiot, but just an ordinary person surrounded by a bunch of cheating gods, just like me.

"Where did you find it?"

I thought about it a little bit: "On the coffee table in the living room."

"Is it far from the door?"

"Not very far."

"Are there many obstacles in between?"

"Hmm... not at all, I remember that the area at the door is very empty, it seems that there is only one leather chair."

"I see." He nodded with satisfaction as if he had figured it out, and asked again, "Is the door of your apartment the kind with a letter delivery slot at the bottom?"

"That's right." This is what I've always been surprised by. It seems that many doors in Japan are designed like this. This probably has something to do with their character of not wanting to disturb people. Letters, newspapers, etc. are stuffed directly through the opening. , without the hassle of knocking on the door.

"Hey, even if you think the murderer can design a mechanism to send the key back to the room from the outside, how did he or she enter the victim's home in the first place?" Shiliang said angrily, "First of all, there was no fighting or being killed in the house." The messy traces indicate that the murderer was invited into the house by the victim, and he probably knew the victim very well, and don’t forget that the deceased’s boyfriend came within an hour before she jumped off the building—”

"Of course I haven't forgotten, miss." Amuro suddenly emphasized his tone, looking at Shiliang with sharp eyes, "These are not contradictory. In fact, I have already come to some conclusions."

Yuanzi interrupted suddenly: "Really? Who is the murderer? Boyfriend, administrator, or—"

"It's not conclusive yet." Amuro returned to his sunny and approachable appearance, "Miss Natsume, after the police arrived last night, did many residents come out to watch?"

I nodded: "Of course, the siren has sounded for more than an hour, and the entire building is almost out."

"Hey, the Japanese really like to watch the excitement." He complained.

Then you really should come to China to see and experience the strength of Chaoyang masses, I thought to myself.

"It would be great if I could go to the scene to have a look." He tilted his head and muttered, but this collective reasoning was quickly cut off by a wave of guests who flocked to the stadium. Lan and the others were also going to the stadium to participate in club activities. We dispersed.

Afterwards, Amuro and I were busy for a while—mainly because he was busy, I basically wiped the table, ground two cups of coffee, gave the guests a bright smile, and—to see his serious and diligent figure.

It's almost six o'clock, and I can get off work.He would hold on for another half an hour, because he was the one to close the shop this week.

When I was about to leave, he stopped me.

"Miss Natsume, you..." He paused, then looked at me steadily, with something very firm and confident burning in his eyes, "From the time you witnessed the fall from the building to the time when the police came outside her room , How long is the gap between these two?"

"Eh? Why do you ask that?" I vaguely sensed some meaning in his words. In fact, my reasoning ability is very average, but my observation and intuition are very keen. I can always smell things that I don't understand. correct answer.

"Ashamed to say, I was so scared at first, and I called the police about 10 minutes later. The police arrived at the scene a quarter of an hour later, and then came to her door. Well, it took about half an hour or even longer. "

"It's been so long, so it's more than enough to deal with the scene." He said to himself.

I was trembling all over, and I felt cold sweat seep out: "Deal with the scene... You don't mean the murderer, do you?"

He showed his white teeth: "Of course. In fact, Ms. Natsume, some things are quite subtle. It looks like this, but it's not like that at all. I'm afraid this 'suicide incident' was mistaken from the very beginning. direction."

"Could it be——you know the truth?" I was a little shocked, my eyes widened.

He smiled and shook the iPhone in his hand: "Well, I just called Police Officer Takagi and got some very important details. To be honest, I am a little concerned about this case."

I smiled and said, "As expected of an amateur detective, when encountering a case, it's like an alcoholic smelling alcohol. He won't stop until he investigates clearly."

He raised the corners of his lips inexplicably, and said something that made me blush.

"This is only one aspect. I am more concerned about your safety, Miss Natsume."

Hey hey, don't flirt with me casually if you are so handsome, okay?It is easy to cause unnecessary heartbeat!

However, after a few seconds, I realized rationally that he was just talking about the facts, and he had neither the intention of provocative nor the idea of ​​flirting with me.As a straight steel man who regards the country as his lover, he doesn't seem to put so much thought into the relationship between men and women.

As if I had been poured cold water on my head, I asked a little bit disappointed: "Will I be in any danger? The murderer doesn't know what I found."

He shook his head: "This matter really has nothing to do with you, but a person who has killed someone once is easy to do it again. This is experience. When killing one person, he will hesitate and have conscience. At this time, I no longer have such worries, but I am getting more and more superior.”

"So, who do you think the murderer is, Mr. Amuro?"

He blinked and looked at me seriously: "Would you like to confirm with me tonight?"

"?"

"Me, I want to sneak into that room and take a look." He put on that innocent expression again, "Please let me go home with you."

I blushed, and before I had time to think about how to get along with him after returning to the residence, I immediately realized a very important thing.

"An, Mr. Amuro, are you going to illegally invade a house that has been sealed off by the police for investigation?"

He smiled even brighter, and he answered me with his catchphrase: "Of course."

The author has something to say:

Friends who have guessed the murderer, don’t spoil it, the inspiration comes from a novel I read before^_^
