On the other side.
At that moment, Wataru Takagi was walking in an alley with a police dog on a leash.
He glanced at the notebook in his other hand and muttered to himself:
"Is this where Guangyou's map is located?"
"I think I didn't go to the wrong place."
Although Guangyou is not a professional cartographer, he has a background in drawing.
The map wasn't particularly detailed, but it was easy to understand.
To help Takagi Wataru avoid the wrong path, KÅsuke even wrote down some nearby landmarks that could serve as markers.
After carefully observing his surroundings, Takagi Wataru put away his notebook.
He felt he hadn't gone the wrong way.
"Woof!"
Just then, the police dog seemed to have discovered something.
After barking to remind Takagi Wataru, it walked ahead to lead the way.
Led by a police dog, Takagi Wataru arrived at a trash can.
There was an unpleasant odor emanating from near the trash can.
There were also several empty wine bottles next to it.
"Here?" Takagi Wataru pinched his nose and glanced at the police dog.

Seeing this, Takagi Wataru gritted his teeth and released his fingers from pinching his nose.
He held his breath and reached his hands into the trash can to search.
As if he had touched something, Takagi Wataru paused for a moment.
He took out what he had touched and shone it with a flashlight.

He bit the flashlight and rummaged through the trash can with his hands.
As expected, Takagi Wataru quickly pulled a whole outfit out of the trash can.
Sports clothes, shoes, gloves, and a mask.
The bloodstains were most noticeable on the gloves.
The rest were not stained with much blood because of the thin blanket.
Despite the major breakthrough, Takagi Wataru did not immediately inform Inspector Megure.
He came out to look for that button.
But it hasn't been found yet.
He frowned, enduring the stench as he rummaged through the trash can.
"Buttons..."
"I guess it'll be thrown away with the clothes, right?"
Many murderers will throw everything away together.
At this moment, Wataru Takagi hoped that the murderer was this kind of person.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be possible...
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Takagi Wataru spotted the button lying in the trash can through the beam of his flashlight.
