"But before that, I want to ask who is the first witness?"

Megure Juzo didn't expect that Fujiwara Yu had other discoveries. You know, the police have almost deduced everything now, but there are too few traces left at the scene, so there is no way to determine the identity of the murderer.

He said to the police officer beside him:

"Matsui, go find Ms. Kawai."

"Yes, Officer Megure!"

Within two minutes, there was a noise at the door, and a short-haired woman in her thirties walked into the house under the guidance of a police officer. Her eyes fell on the two bodies on the ground and she immediately retracted them, with a look of fear on her face.

Judging from her micro-expressions, she didn't seem to be acting, but was really scared of seeing the body.

"Hello, could you please cooperate and stretch out your left foot?"

Hearing the handsome young man's request, Kawai Yoshie was a little confused, but she still cooperated very well, stretched out her left foot, and asked aloud:

"Is that so, Mr. Officer?"

"Yes, don't move."

Fujiwara Yu carefully checked the left trouser leg but didn't find what he was looking for. He then focused his attention on the right trouser leg but still found nothing. Out of caution, he asked Ms. Kawai to sit on the sofa and lift her feet, but he didn't find what he was looking for on the sole of her shoe either.

After cooperating, Kawai Yoshie felt something was a little strange. She said cautiously:

"Mr. Officer, do you still need my cooperation? Do you still want to inspect this upper body clothing?"

"No thanks, thank you very much for your cooperation." Fujiwara Yu stood up and leaned directly into Megure Jusan's ear, whispering, "Officer Megure, did you notice that one of the oranges was crushed?"

Megure Jusan was a little confused. What connection did the crushed orange have to the case? He shook his head and asked Fujiwara Yu to tell him what clues he had found.

"I have checked the trouser legs and soles of the two victims, and found no splashed orange juice, nor any biological tissue such as orange peel residue on the soles. And I just checked the first witness's condition, and also did not find the above situation, which means that the orange was crushed by the murderer." Fujiwara Yu explained very patiently.

After hearing this, Megure Jusan suddenly realized that there should be marks on the soles of the murderer's shoes or trouser legs, which is the most crucial evidence. It has not been long since the crime was committed, and if the murderer has not discovered it, there is still a chance to find him.

At this moment, Miyano Akemi, who had been standing at the door, hurried into the house, panting slightly and saying:

"I... I just took a look around the area. There's a small shop and a restaurant with surveillance cameras installed in front of them. They happen to be on the east and west sides of the road. Who knows... huh... maybe investigating the surveillance cameras can yield some clues!"

There was no road surveillance, but the merchants had their own surveillance to prevent theft. Upon hearing this, Fujiwara You couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He felt that the case was gradually coming to light, and these two surveillance cameras were very likely to narrow down the scope of the criminals.

After a brief pause, Megure Jusan suddenly realized that by checking these two surveillance cameras, he could determine who had been active on this street during the time of the crime. If those who appeared in the surveillance were excluded, he could determine that the suspect was a local living in this residential area!

Thinking that the case had finally made some progress, he couldn't help but look at the beautiful young girl happily and said:

"Thank you so much, little girl. The clues you provided will be of great help to us in solving the case."

"You're welcome, Officer. You'd better go and investigate quickly. If the criminals notice that there are clues on their bodies, it will be troublesome to deal with them."

"You're right." Megure Jusan turned around and said before leaving, "Fujiwara, you should come too. The amount of work to be checked should be quite large, is that okay?"

"No problem, leave it to me."

Fujiwara Yu did not leave Saito Masami at the crime scene. He went directly to the west side store with two police officers. After a brief negotiation with the owner, he quickly got the right to use the computer and quickly retrieved the required surveillance video.

Although technology was still relatively backward in this era, surveillance video could still clearly show some content at close range. All they had to do was give the Metropolitan Police Department's technical department a screenshot of someone passing by and they would be able to get the information they wanted.

Perhaps because this residential area is primarily populated by elderly residents, not many people go out on Sundays. However, due to the two-hour inspection, even at double speed, the workload was considerable, so the footage was edited into two parts.

Akemi Miyano, who was watching the surveillance video carefully, was suddenly attracted by a young man passing by the camera. He subconsciously turned his head while walking, and repeated this action twice within the surveillance range, which caught her attention.

She couldn't help but reach out and pat Fujiwara Yuu who was checking another part of the surveillance video, and said:

"Fujiwara-kun, I think this person is a little strange. Come and take a look."

Hearing Saito Masami say this, Fujiwara Yu immediately paused the video he was watching. When he leaned over, he saw her dragging the progress bar back, successfully playing the young man's strange behavior.

Although the surveillance video is a bit blurry, some of his physical features can still be seen, such as his medium-length hair that looks a bit sloppy, and a beard on his chin that should extend to his sideburns.

He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, bright yellow overalls, and ordinary red and white canvas shoes. He was estimated to be around 25 years old and between 1.65 and 1.7 meters tall, which matched his estimated height at the crime scene.

"He must be the murderer. Send this video to the technicians immediately and let them investigate this man's identity."

After hearing Fujiwara Yuu's certainty, the police officer questioned:

"Are you so sure? I think it's better to watch the rest of the video."

Fujiwara Yu did not feel that the other party looked down on him when he was questioned. He understood the process of police handling cases. Being cautious is definitely not a bad thing, so he clicked the mouse to pause the video and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Excuse me, Officer, look here. He didn't just look back twice. From an angle not captured by the surveillance camera, his left hand is clearly protecting his chest." Fujiwara Yuu said, assuming the same pose as the suspect in the surveillance video. He raised his lips slightly and continued, "What do you think this action means?"

The two police officers frowned and thought about it. After trying a few movements, they exclaimed:

"No wonder the murder weapon wasn't found at the scene. He was carrying it with him! The reason he looked back was because he was worried someone would find the weapon!"

"There aren't so many coincidences in this world. The overlapping clues are the truth we are looking for. I think he must be the murderer we are looking for."

"I'll contact the technician right away!"

The boss, who was standing aside and half leaning out, squinted at the man on the computer screen. He raised his hand and whispered:

"Um, Officer, I know this person."
