When the first rays of the morning sun were shining on the bare branches, the air was still slightly cool. At this time, the convenience store owner began to take a broom and began to clean the front and back yards.

Suddenly, there was an 'obstacle' in his sight that was not usually visible, and it was lying across the corner of the wall. The first instinct was that some homeless man had overslept there.

He got up to wake him up, but when he was a meter away, he suddenly saw a hole in his head. Oozing blood and slightly coagulated, the whole appearance is very terrifying.

Soon, a shrill scream came from the alley.

"What? How so? Officer Twilight, who received the call, sat down on a stool and didn't come back to his senses for a while. Okay, we'll send someone over in a moment......"

He put down the phone lightly, the expression on his face stiffening.

"What's wrong, officer? Is there any news of a robber who is on the run? ”

Twilight glanced at Miwako Sato, and said in a quiet tone: "Matsuda-kun, he ......"

Well? Miwako blinked.

"Someone in the town of Kakudo reported the crime, and the police officers on patrol said that Matsuda-kun was shot dead and his body was lying on the street."

The pen in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and Miwako's drooping eyes oozed crystal. She slammed to her feet, took her car keys out of a drawer, and hurried downstairs.

"Hey! Sato! Seeing her back in a hurry, the other policemen who were stunned by the news immediately shouted.

She walked and galloped on her horse, and arrived at the downstairs of the Metropolitan Police Department in three or two clicks, and flew into the car. The speed was then adjusted to the maximum horsepower.

The car can be described as super dusty, and it only took a moment to disappear in place.

"Matsuda-kun......" Miwako finally couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw his body being carried away, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Twilight Thirteen, who rushed over, exhaled lightly from his nose and walked towards the owner of the convenience store with the brim of his hat pressed down.

"I heard, you were the first person to discover, didn't you?"

The convenience store owner had not yet calmed down from his fear, he nodded, and his speech was a little unconfident: "Well, when I was cleaning the store and yard in the morning, I accidentally saw a person lying there. I thought it was a homeless man, and I was about to wake him up when I saw him being shot to death. ”

"Then you, do you have any clues? Like hearing gunshots or something. ”

The proprietress came over and said, "If it's gunshots, we did hear something similar to a gunshot yesterday. However, no one thought about it. I thought it was a prank and went out to take a look, but who knew I saw a man driving away. Now that I think about it, that man must have been a prisoner. ”

When Miwako heard this, she immediately wiped away her tears and ran over, her eyes earnest. "Excuse me, did you see that man?"

She shook her head and said, "No, because it's too dark." Just by the light of our convenience store plaque, I can be sure that it is a man. I can't see it at all. I just remember what happened at eight o'clock last night. ”

Eight o'clock last night?

Miwako suddenly thought of the text message Matsuda Jinpei received around 7:50 before this.

The sudden confession, could it be that Matsuda had already thought that he would die before sending it?

At this moment, a police officer from the forensic department walked over to Twilight with a report. "Officer Twilight, there is no way to determine the time of Officer Matsuda's death at this time, because the air is cold, and there is no way to be precise in the time of death."

Miwako didn't even look at it, she gritted her teeth and said, "I must have died at eight o'clock last night." Because Matsuda sent me a text message of admiration before. He must have been killed by that man after this! ”
