Inspector Megure soon understood that there was indeed a murder and based on the examination of the forensic investigator, the man died around half an hour ago, matching the time that the brother said.
And the second man who was attacked said that he knew nothing.
When he left the apartment, the dead man, Takahashi was still alive.
The second man's name is Hideo and he's a local gangster there. He didn't have proper work and usually stayed with Takahashi as the other party's bodyguard and friend.
"I'm his bodyguard and I have been working for him for so many years. If I really want to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago," Hideo explained with irritation. Being accused of murder was not exactly a pleasant matter.
"You're the only person who's close with brother!" Takahashi's brother, Takayomi, shouted again in anger.
"Stop it!" The police officers had to work together to restrain Takayomi in case he tried to kill Hideo again. Moreover, he even dared to take out a gun before, which made the incident more serious than before.
However, he did have a gun license, so possessing a gun alone couldn't convict him with anything.
The two people started scolding each other.
Hikari Yuki was staying on the side with another woman who was also a visitor in this convenience store. She was fidgeting and looked like she really wanted to leave but didn't dare to.
On the other hand, Hikari Yuki calmed down and thanked Officer Sato politely.
"Officer Sato, I'll take over." Megumi Aiko looked at the two people and started her questioning. Of course, this was mostly for formality. As for Amuro Toru, he was being questioned by Takagi and his answer was impeccable.
He was working in the convenience store and didn't see anything from the beginning until the end.
After all, the apartment was right next to the convenience store.
The surveillance camera could also prove that Amuro Toru had never left his post.
Hikari Yuki blinked her eyes and looked at no. 4 in front of her. Well, hopefully Megumi Aiko would not be scared to death when she found out about her real identity.
"Name?"
"Hikari Yuki."
"What time do you come and why do you come here?"
"Uhm, I think it's a little before 8?" Hikari Yuki replied while she looked like she tried hard to remember. "I came here to buy some snacks because some of them ran out from the convenience store I usually frequented. Moreover, this place isn't that far from the apartment where I came from."
After that, Megumi Aiko asked a few more questions and then moved to the woman beside Hikari Yuki.
