"Guess, guess?"

The corners of Yumi's eyes twitched again and again.

"Don't make fun of me at this time......"

"No kidding," Gao Cheng said seriously, "are you sure that a robber and murderer have run into this shop?" ”

"Well, I don't know if it's a robber murderer," Yumi said with a slight embarrassment as she looked at the three diners who couldn't see anything unusual, "but it's not a good person to wave a water hose suspiciously and frantically in front of someone's house, and to run away when you see us passing by on patrol......"

Miike Miike Naeko continued: "I drove around the road to block people, and the American police officer chased people, originally chasing people from both sides, but in the end I didn't block that guy, so I must have run into this only store that didn't turn off the lights." ”

"Wait," Gao Cheng wondered, "you just ...... Has Yumi been chasing after suspicious characters? ”

"Uh," Miike Naeko said bluntly, "on the way to chase, Officer Yumi fell ......"

"I didn't mean to," Yumi argued, "because the prisoner saw me in hot pursuit, threw the hose at me, causing me to trip, not because I was reckless!" ”

"I see."

Gao Cheng didn't touch Yumi's head with an annoyed face, and turned his gaze to the three diners who didn't seem to know why.

In other words, Yumi lost time for a while, no wonder none of these people panicked just now.

3 diners, a cold woman with heavy makeup, a middle-aged social animal uncle with a sad face, and then the coral head glasses man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

If there is no accident, the person Yumi is looking for should be a man with glasses, and when he entered the store, he obviously stepped on something like sharp glass under his feet, but he was not in a hurry to deal with it, but entered the store with two other people like ordinary people, and he didn't seem to be flustered, but in fact, it showed that time was pressing.

The man with glasses didn't have time to deal with the soles of his shoes and had to enter the store with other people.

In addition, the glasses man's cuffs and vest have traces of sweat soaking, and there are red marks on the tiger's mouth on his right hand that have not completely dispersed, which is very consistent with Yumi's explanation.

It's just that this doesn't explain anything, what makes Gao Cheng more curious is what the man with glasses did, why he waved the pipe again, and saw the police fleeing.

"Miwako, they're here," Yumi left for a while, and suddenly returned to the ramen shop with a heavy face, "The mistress of that house died at the door, the glass windows of the house were smashed, and the house was turned into a mess...... It should be that the robbers killed people, and they must have escaped here! ”

Yumi stared fiercely at the three diners whose faces had changed, and after about seven or eight minutes, Takagi rushed over from the scene of the crime.

It was also the man with glasses who was unlucky, and he happened to encounter a police patrol, but he was not caught up with at the first time and escaped temporarily.

"The victim was a hostess," Takagi habitually explained when he opened the police handbook, "and it seems that he ran into a prisoner who broke into an empty door at the door when he was returning home, and was pushed down during an argument, and he died by hitting the back of his head on the steps......

"Huh?" Yumi was surprised, "Isn't the murder weapon the water pipe?" ”

"Water pipes?" Takagi was stunned.

"It's the water pipe that is still on the road," Yumi said with no good air, "When we found out, the prisoner was desperately picking up the water pipe and spinning in front of that building, isn't it a murder weapon?" ”

"This ......," Takagi took a step back and said with a dry smile, "There are indeed traces of tape on one end of the water pipe, like something has been tied, but it should not be a murder weapon, and there is no blood on it, and Officer Sato also said that the prisoner only went to the kitchen to take out the water pipe after the killing, not a tool prepared in advance." ”

"Miwako said that?"

"Yes, because the victim was still wearing shoes, apparently he met the criminal who was about to leave after breaking through the empty door before entering the house......"

"So did the victim have any important items stolen?" Gao Cheng asked.

If he is a criminal who breaks through the door, he may be able to find evidence quickly if he investigates his belongings, and he has mastery-level "thief" skills, so he can be said to be an expert in this area.

"I don't know this yet," Takagi shook his head, "The safe has been pried open, but it hasn't been pried open, and the drawer where the jewelry is stored is turned around, but the jewelry seems to be still ......."

The ramen manager, who had been present behind the counter, interjected, "Could it be earrings?" In fact, there was a waitress named Wenzi who lived nearby in the store, and once she was drunk and showed off her earrings loudly, saying that a pair would add up to millions, by the way, these 3 guests seemed to be there that day, and they were all acquaintances of Miss Wenzi. ”

As he spoke, the ramen manager couldn't help but look at several diners with some suspicion.

It's also too much of a coincidence.

"Shouldn't it be Miss Wenzi who was killed?"

The faces of the three suspects changed at the same time, and the smug laughter of a drunken woman seemed to echo in their ears.

"These earrings were bought for me by a guest, and they have been hidden in the cabinet, and today is my birthday, so I am willing to take them out and wear them!

"These are some unwelcome hostesses, stingy staff who only drink but don't give any gifts, and disgusting part-time workers who secretly stare at me through the convenience store window, a treasure you can't get in your lifetime! Haha, it's my baby!! ”

Is the woman dead?

Yuna Shono, who used to work as a waitress in a shop with Onko, a middle-aged employee of Onko's guest, Osamu Nakanishi, and even the glasses man, who is still a freelancer, have a gloomy face.

Gao Cheng saw it in his eyes, and basically determined that the stolen items were earrings, and the hostess who was killed was obviously a hostess.

It's no coincidence that the man with glasses will come to this store for the first time, he must have thought about how to deal with the police......

At this time, Takagi had already taken the photo of the victim's body to confirm the identity of the store manager, and it was the waitress Wenzi who showed off her earrings on her birthday.

Although Gao Cheng has not had much contact with the hostess, he is not as experienced as Uncle Maori, but in fact, the hostess and the cowherd are not much different, most of them are very sad, even if they are very popular with the guests, they will only be more empty in private.

Most of them come from the countryside to work in the city, and they end up on this path for various reasons, and they don't even dare to let their old family members know.

This time it may have been a rare emotional release on the hostess's birthday, but she happened to run into a few unsatisfactory diners, which led to a disaster, just because of millions of yen worth of things.

Gao Cheng remembered the first time he made a million in this world.

It seems that he has always been quite low-key, even the uncle next door thinks that he has earned money for a villa, and the Suzuki family has not publicized his affairs everywhere, and the garden will never say this outside.

"So," Takagi and Yumi checked the belongings of the three diners and asked about their identities by the way, "The handbag of the hostess Miss Yuna Shono contained a wallet, cigarettes, a lighter, a mobile phone, and chewing gum......

Sosuke Mizuko, a freelancer, brought a coin purse, a mobile phone, a mask, a key to his house, and a glasses case in his coat pocket.

"Mr. Osamu Nakanishi, a company employee, a wallet in his clothes pocket and briefcase, a key to his house, company documents, and a handkerchief......"

"No one has earrings, and they don't have anything of special value."

Yumi frowned and said, "I've also searched the store, and there is nothing hidden, didn't you steal the earrings?" ”

"There's still a place I haven't looked for, haven't I?"

Gao Cheng noticed the smug eyes hidden in the glasses man, walked straight forward, picked up the soy sauce bottle in front of the glasses man, shook it, and there was a crashing sound, which directly shocked the glasses man.

"It's a good idea to hide it in a soy sauce bottle, and it can be recycled afterwards, because it will not arouse the suspicion of the police if it is a regular customer in this store."

It wasn't a long time, but it was enough for him to judge many things, and he wouldn't be able to find the earrings when he was sure that the man with glasses was the culprit.

So far, his criminal psychoanalysis has been tried and tested, and the design of a small character can't hide from him.

In addition to the toilet used to hide things in this ramen shop, there is only the counter, and the police will definitely search the toilet, and the only safe and convenient place to collect it is the soy sauce bottle that the man with glasses has been using just now.

Without waiting for the glasses man to argue, Gao Cheng continued: "Usually few people will bring the glasses case with them, right? Or did you originally bring spare glasses? And the shards of glass that you stepped on on the sole of your shoe, I guess it could be that your glasses fell to the ground and were broken when you pushed with the victim?

"After the killing, he went into the house to get a water hose and waved it at the door, what is more important than running away from the scene? Probably it can only clear the evidence of his own murder.

"You're collecting pieces of shredded glasses, aren't you?" Gao Cheng finally confirmed.

"You!" The glasses man's pupils dilated suddenly, and his heart twitched.
