"Wow, is there really no problem for a female student who hasn't graduated yet to live in such a nice apartment!"

Urashima said as he slowly parked the car on the side of the road across the road from the apartment. After the car turned off, Miki and Urashima immediately got out of the car and walked straight towards the main entrance of the apartment.

After questioning the management of the apartment, Urashima and Miki immediately took the elevator to apartment No. 607 on the sixth floor, and Urashima took the initiative to press the doorbell outside the house after getting Miki's approval.

"Who's outside, is the takeaway here? Please wait a minute!"

As there was a sound of footsteps and door locks coming from inside the apartment, the door of the apartment was opened from the inside, and a girl with long hair poked her head out with a smile on her face, only to see Kazuki Urashima with a serious face.

"Uh, you ......."

"Miss Yoshiae Murakami? We are from the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigation Division...... I have some questions that I would like to ask you, so I can't delay you for a few minutes?"

Miki took out her ID and showed it to the woman, and as soon as these words came out, the woman's face suddenly became unsightly.

"Looks like you already know what we're coming to you for, can you let us in and talk?"

Miki said to Kanae Murakami in a serious tone. The other party hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of the body and let Miki and Urashima enter her room.

"Rude!"

Urashima said slightly apologetically as he walked past the girl, and then he followed Miki and took off his shoes, while Miss Kanae, who was the owner of this apartment, followed behind the two police officers with a solemn face and slowly returned to her living room.

"Excuse me...... Did you come to me for Mr. Hamada's business?"

"Hmm...... Indeed, we noticed that you and Mr. Hamada seemed to have had a very close relationship before, and I think you also learned about Mr. Hamada's murder from TV. So we're here to learn a little bit about Mr. Hamada!"

Urashima seemed a little frightened when he saw the young lady on the other side. So he explained his intention to Kanae Murakami in a slightly soothing tone.

"Wait a minute, you guys...... You won't suspect that I killed Mr. Hamada, do you?"

I don't know if I think Urashima is easier to talk to, Kanae Murakami questioned Urashima. It was a world away from the emotions she had just shown.

"We just came over to ask as usual, as for the murderer's question, please forgive us for inconvenience!"

Miki saw that Kanae Murakami seemed to want to spill, so she hurriedly took over the topic. Kanae Murakami saw Miki speak, so she was honest. She glanced at Miki angrily, then sat down, took out a cigarette from the pocket of her clothes, and skillfully brought one for herself.

"Ask what you want to ask! Wait a minute, I still have an appointment with a friend, I'm afraid I don't have much time left for you!"

A puff of smoke erupted from Kaae Murakami's mouth, and Urashima suddenly felt a huge contrast. Before leaving, Urashima also looked at Kanae Murakami's page on Facebook. Based on the impression left by the photo, Urashima felt that Kanae Murakami should be a pure and lovely girl, but after seeing the real person, Urashima felt that this girl had a kind of sophistication and vicissitudes that did not match her age. It's as if the girl on Facebook and the one sitting in front of him are not the same person at all.

"Can you tell us about your relationship with Daichi Hamada?"

Miki flipped through the notebook in her hand, picked up the pen and waited for Yoshiae Murakami's answer.

"Shhh...... Call...... He...... Occasionally, with me...... Overnight!"

Kanae Murakami replied to Miki with some slush.

"So...... You're a couple, right?"

Kanae Murakami didn't answer Miki's question directly, she snuffed out the cigarette in her hand and put it in the ashtray on the coffee table. Then he said to Miki with some hesitation:

"Not really, we...... We just take what we need, he pays for most of my living expenses, and my duties are ...... It's just to make him happy, it's that simple between us!"

Kaae Murakami's answer did not surprise Miki, in fact, Miki had long felt that Hamada Daichi, who was high in the mountains, should not have an open relationship with a girl like her. However, a powerful man has a way to turn a girl like Kanae Murakami into a canary in his cage.

"Excuse me...... How did you and Hamada meet?"

"Before...... Mr. Hamada once gave a lecture at our school, and I was in charge of receiving Mr. Hamada as a member of the alumni association. So we exchanged contact details. From then on, Mr. Hamada would occasionally ask me out to dinner and give me some gifts or something, and after a long time, we would ...... It's the relationship it is now!"

Miki carefully recorded Murakami's words in her work notebook. Then she took out a photo from her purse, and slowly pushed it in front of Kanae Murakami.

"Excuse me, do you have any impression of this photo?"

"Hmm...... This is the perfume that Mr. Hamada gave me when he first met. It was the first time I had received something from HERMES, so I took a photo with a moment of joy, but I later learned that the bottle was not too expensive. And, I don't like the taste either. But...... For some reason, Mr. Hamada seemed to like the smell so much that every time we met, he made a point to tell me that I must use the perfume he gave me......"

"Every time? Are you sure it's every time?"

"Hey...... Mr. Hamada seems to ...... I'm actually a little bit perverted in this regard!"

"So, did he give you anything other than perfume?"

"I've also given some other things, such as clothes, shoes, bags, and so on. Mr. Hamada is actually very generous in this regard, and he is not the kind of man who only cares. But with only such a thing as perfume, I really can't understand why he is so stubborn!"

"Excuse me, can you show us the perfume that Mr. Hamada gave you?"

"Hey, I've been locked in a drawer before, and I'll only use it once when I go to see Mr. Hamada, so I'll bring it to you!"

Kanae Murakami got up from the floor and left for a moment, about a minute before she walked back with a small teal glass bottle. Miki put on white gloves and took the bottle of perfume casually. Curious, she opened the lid and sniffed it, then took out a plastic bag and threw the perfume into it.

"We'll take this bottle of perfume back first, and we'll return it to its original owner when the case is over. Also, if you want any important clues, you can also feel free to contact us!"
