After adjusting the direction, the difficulty of the investigation was greatly reduced, because there were not many places with grass on the side of the road, and soon my eyes fell on a roadside grass not far ahead, which was very large, and I don't know if it was due to psychological effects, there were faint traces of collapse on the grass.

I squinted my eyes and squatted down, carefully touched the grass on the ground, and then I stood up and looked up to see where there was surveillance nearby, and suddenly I turned my head sharply, because at that moment I clearly felt the sharp cold light behind me, as if I was being stared at, my eyes quickly swept around, but except for the crowd of people coming and going, I couldn't see any suspicious people.

Maybe it's my delusion, but I've become more and more sensitive lately due to a lot of stress.

I turned around and continued to look at the location of the nearby monitoring, and finally found the monitoring on the wall of a supermarket not far away, my eyes lit up, and I walked quickly towards the supermarket, the supermarket's business was very busy, there were many customers, I found the boss, the boss was too busy and had no extra energy to hand me the key to the monitoring room, let me check it myself.

I took the key and walked into the stairs, the monitoring room was on the third floor, and the supermarket was renovated except for the first floor, so as soon as I entered the stairwell, it was like entering another world, which was unusually quiet, desolate and dim, and even the slightest wind was strangely cold.

I walked down the staircase that had not yet been built, and the deafening footsteps echoed throughout the building from time to time, and I called Watanabe's phone while going upstairs, and after telling him the location, I closed my phone, but I suddenly stopped, because at that moment, I suddenly heard another sound from my footsteps, someone else's footsteps!

I turned my head and saw a terrifying and hideous face, he pounced on me, grabbed my neck with both hands, I fell heavily to the ground, kept resisting, but the strength of his hands became heavier and heavier, and if I continued like this, I would be strangled to death.

In the confusion, my hand touched a stiff object, it was a brick, and without a moment's hesitation, I picked up the brick and smashed it the man's head.

He wailed, let go of me, and fell to the side, and I pulled my pistol from my waist, but before I could say a warning, the man quickly disappeared into the darkness, and I put the pistol down and sat there, panting.

The sound of footsteps soon came again, and the familiar voice reached my ears, and Watanabe ran to my side in a hurry, looking at me in amazement, "What's wrong?" Section Chief, what's going on? ”

"I was attacked." I say.

"What? Could such a thing happen, was it the murderer? ”

"Nope." I shook my head, but then there was another pause, "To be exact, I don't know, but I know him, he is a homeless man who was downstairs in the apartment before, I have seen him, but I don't know why he attacked me, I can't be sure if he is a murderer, in short, he should have nothing to do with this case." ”

Watanabe and I then went to the monitoring room, and I opened the door to the monitoring room, which was very simple, with only a table and a chair, and a computer on the table, and the computer was the monitoring screen.

I adjusted the monitoring to seven o'clock in the evening on the fifteenth, and there was no one on the screen, I clicked fast forward, the picture changed from time to time, my eyes were staring at the LCD screen, suddenly I clicked the mouse, the picture slowed down, it was half past seven, a rickety figure appeared under the surveillance, this person was Ito, he walked to the grass and stopped, stumbled and fell to the ground, and fell asleep.

I frowned, pressed fast forward, the screen kept changing, and soon I clicked the mouse again, and at this moment another figure appeared in the screen, I blinked, and recognized this person, he was the homeless man who had just attacked me.

Watanabe and I stared at the screen tightly, our eyes didn't even blink, in the picture, the homeless man came to Ito's side, he reached out and touched Ito's clothes, he should be stealing Ito's things, but soon I knew that I had made a mistake in judgment, and Watanabe was also stunned by the next scene.

Instead of rummaging through his clothes, the homeless man took off the zipper of his pants and did something that shocked us unbelievably and unspeakably.

This behavior continued until 7:45, after which the homeless man pulled the zipper, took the cash from Ito's wallet, and left the frame.

After that, it wasn't until four o'clock in the morning the next day that Ito woke up, and the picture was frozen, but Watanabe and I remained where we were, and I picked up my phone and dialed Nakamura for a long time.

"Section Chief."

"We have found evidence that Ito is not the murderer, and we can go through the formalities for him and let him go."

"Okay, what exactly is the evidence?"

"Yes..."And I paused, I was hesitant to tell, not Nakamura, of course, but whether to tell Ito the truth? How would Ito react if he had told him what had happened while he was asleep?

My colleagues from the bureau came quickly, because I called them in advance to arrest the homeless, and then the arrest was handed over to them, Watanabe and I got together to go to the bureau, and when I arrived at the police station, I received a call, and my colleagues successfully arrested the homeless, they first inquired about the homeless's residence, it was under a bridge, and after a quick operation, they successfully arrested the homeless, and he was about to face the charges of theft, assault on the police, and indecent assault.

And at this time, Ito just finished the formalities, just walked to the door, Nakamura was standing beside him patting his back, I looked at the man in front of me, he no longer looked as bright as before, his face became dull due to tiredness, the stubble on his face made him look very vicissitudes, he saw my eyes lit up and quickly bowed to me to express his gratitude, I told Nakamura the truth, but told him not to tell Ito, just let him know that he slept all night, Ito quickly left the police station, Nakamura and I stood side by side, but Nakamura's face was faintly relieved, perhaps because the murderer was not Ito, and he was finally relieved as a father.

But we all soon showed our heaviness, because all our clues were back to square one, we didn't know anything about the case, the murderer was still hiding behind the scenes, and we couldn't catch even a hint of him.
