Afterwards, Takagi relayed the testimonies of the eyewitnesses to Karasawa one by one.
First, there was the convenience store clerk. As a victim, it was impossible to miss him, but the criminal was wearing a helmet and suddenly pulled out a knife and took out a piece of paper with the words "Give me money" written on it, so the clerk only knew the style of the helmet and the coat that the other party had thrown away.
It can be said that he was the only witness who faced the criminals head-on, but he did not provide any useful clues.
Later, when Takagi was looking for witnesses, a female high school student said that she saw the figure of the gangster through the transparent glass of the store when she was buying clothes.
He could be clearly seen in the crowd at that time, so the high school girls thought that he was about 180 cm tall.
Among the three suspects, only Hiroshi Zama met the height requirement, but the high school girl immediately said that she saw green clothes under his lifted coat.
But here comes the contradiction: the clothes passed down by Zama Hiroshi were of a similar blue color.
Although Takagi repeatedly confirmed with the other party, the girl still insisted that she saw green instead of cyan.
Another witness was the owner of the coffee shop. He was preparing to move the recommended lunch menu to the door, so he happened to see the criminal passing by him.
It is unknown whether the criminal was a man or a woman because he was wearing a helmet at the time, but he clearly stated that the criminal was 170 cm tall, and he also saw that the clothes under the other person's coat were black.
And here comes the contradiction. The only one who is around 170cm tall is Kamie Yasuo, but he is wearing green casual clothes, which is even worse than black.
In addition, the testimony of the old man who was knocked down by the robber said that the robber he saw was a woman wearing blue clothes. The testimonies of the three people were clearly describing the same person, but the characteristics were completely different.
Moreover, the witnesses were all enthusiastic passers-by and did not look like they were lying.
"This is the situation..." Gao Mu looked at the three people in the police car and said with a headache: "In this situation, I'm afraid we have to take these three people back to the Criminal Investigation Department for interrogation..."
But if that's the case, Sato Miwako will be completely unable to make it in time. Thinking of this, Takagi felt dizzy.
"No rush, let's first ask about their route." Tang Ze patted Gao Mu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't panic, it won't take more than three minutes for me to drive to Shuidu Building."
"Hmm..." Takagi swallowed with a wry smile, but then couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
When asked later, the three of them told each other the reasons why the bathroom appeared.
Yasuo Kamie is a cram school teacher. He went back to the restroom because he had to go to a nearby bookstore to buy some materials.
Hiroshi Zama was in a band and on his way home from practice he had to pee urgently so he ran to the nearby restroom.
As for the only female, Koshimizu Eiko, she was an office worker and felt uncomfortable in her stomach on the way.
After asking these questions, Koshimizu Eiko looked at her watch and said impatiently, "It's been so long, can you please let us go?"
"That's right, we've said everything we need to say... Can we go back now?" Yasuo Kamieda also echoed.
"Huh?" Seeing the two ladies' watches on Koshimizu Eiko's wrists, Takagi couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you wearing two watches?"
"My boyfriend is not in Neon now, so one of the watches shows their local time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to call him in the middle of the night because of the time difference." Koshimizu Eiko explained after hearing Takagi's doubts.
"Hmph... Speaking of which, when we were in junior high school, our homeroom teacher also forced us to wear two watches..."
Just as Zama Hiroshi finished speaking, Kamie Yasuo suddenly snorted, which directly aroused Zama Hiroshi's dissatisfaction. He looked at the other party and shouted angrily: "Hey! You guy, what's so funny!"
"Ah... no... you misunderstood..." Kamie Yasuo was startled by Zama Hiroshi's roar and quickly waved his hands to explain: "I just heard what you said and felt that our situations were exactly the opposite, so I laughed...
When I teach in cram schools, in order to make students listen carefully and not wait for the end of the class, I always ask them to take off their watches during class to avoid distractions.
"By the way, Mr. Zama mentioned the band earlier..." Takagi looked at Hiroshi Zama and asked, "What kind of band is it?"
"It's a visual performance band that I formed with my best friend from high school~"
Zama Hiroshi said this with a somewhat mischievous smile, "Our band's performance is to dress up as girls~ To be honest, it's quite popular~
And many fans also call to support us~"
When Tang Ze and the other man saw the other person's 1.80-meter height and slightly rough face, they couldn't help but twitch their lips when they thought of the other person wearing women's clothes.
Bro, your cross-dressing is too anal!!
However, based on the information leaked from the conversation between the three people, Tang Ze basically solved this case, which was not too difficult.
At Tang Ze's current level, if he can't even solve such a basic case by himself, he might as well just retire and become a rich man.
Facing the three people's urgency and intention to leave, Tang Ze smiled and signaled them to be quiet, saying, "I have almost understood the situation of the case. Now we only need to verify one last thing to find the criminal."
"One last thing?"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, the three of them looked at each other in surprise. Gao Mu, who was standing beside him, brightened up after hearing this. "Verify what? I'll go right away!"
Looking at Takagi's back as he hurriedly ran away after giving his instructions, the three of them looked at each other with their own thoughts, and then waited silently.
At this moment, Takagi had already run to the coffee shop owner. Panting, he had no time to explain to the owner, so he pulled him towards the door.
"Hey, hey... Detective-san, what's going on? Why are you pulling me out?" Knowing Takagi's identity, the boss wearing glasses did not resist Takagi too much even though he was hurriedly dragged to the door.
"Please... cooperate." Takagi took a deep breath and pulled the coffee shop owner to stand in the sunlight at the door.
After a while, the boss's glasses suddenly turned black and turned into sunglasses!
"As expected! Your glasses have photochromic lenses!" Tang Ze looked at his boss angrily and said, "So you saw the criminals wearing black clothes because you were wearing sunglasses!?"
"Ah... I forgot..."
The coffee shop owner chuckled and scratched his head. "Those lenses that change color immediately after exposure to ultraviolet light are quite popular... I'm just following the trend... I accidentally forgot...
But the criminal is definitely 170cm tall!!”
However, Gao Mu didn't have time to listen carefully to the boss's last words.
After getting the answer he wanted, he ran away and disappeared from the boss's sight in the blink of an eye.
