Chapter 2948-2960 [Journey to Find a Gun]
Officer Takagi was looking forward to the moment when a witness or Jiang Xia would drop from the sky.
A dozen meters away from the street corner.
Jiang Xia leaned against the wall, crossed his arms and looked over here. After observing Officer Takagi's expression from a distance, he turned back to look at Amuro Toru: "Are we really just watching?"
Amuro Toru, who had never been able to find the pistol, nodded silently when he heard this.
The robber must be among these four people, so there is no need to worry about this guy continuing to endanger society. In this case, there is no need to rush to solve the case.
In comparison, among those four people, there is Calvados - thinking about the pistol that is incompatible with the style of Calvados and may hide other secrets, Toru Amuro is determined to get it.
In this case, it would be natural for Calvados to be dragged out by this case as long as possible.
After confirming the situation here, Amuro Toru whispered to Jiang Xia, "Don't let them see you, and don't rush to solve the case - help me keep an eye on them from a distance, and tell me immediately if those witnesses make any unusual movements."
Jiang Xia nodded, and seeing that he was about to go to the public toilet again, he said considerately: "Really don't want me to help you look for it?"
"No need." Amuro Toru refused decisively.
If there really was a secret hidden in the gun, it would be dangerous for Jiang Xia to come into contact with it. On the other hand, Jiang Xia was a righteous detective after all. If there was some dangerous information hidden in the gun, and Jiang Xia secretly destroyed it to prevent the information from falling into Bourbon's hands... then it would be like one's own family pitting one's own family.
Anyway, there wasn't much room for Calvados to throw his gun, so it was enough for one person.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro stretched his sore shoulders and neck and walked towards the public toilet again.
Jiang Xia looked at his resolute back, feeling a little guilty. Then, to comfort herself, she silently gathered a handful of coffee-flavored murderous aura.
…
far away.
Officer Takagi didn't know that because of a word from the evil detective agency boss, his expectation of Jiang Tian's arrival had become a bubble.
Fortunately, although he failed to get the cheat device, perhaps his persistence and cry moved passers-by, and soon, two female junior high school students came to him arm in arm.
"Are you really a policeman?" The two little girls looked at his police ID carefully. Although they didn't understand it clearly, it looked real, so they continued, "The robber you are looking for is the man wearing a helmet and a coat, right?"
"!" Officer Gao Mu heard the coat and helmet and realized that things matched up. He was excited and asked quickly, "Yes, you have seen that person? What does he look like and what are his characteristics?"
The female middle school student said in embarrassment: "I didn't see his face. I saw him through the window when I was browsing in the clothing store just now. The robber was walking in the crowd and was almost a head taller than everyone else. He must be more than 1.8 meters tall! Girls rarely grow that tall, so it must be a man."
"1.80 meters tall, and a man... This is different from the 'woman' that the old man mentioned before." While Officer Takagi was pondering this important new information, he couldn't help but look back at the four witnesses a few meters away.
Although I didn't bring a ruler, I could tell by visual inspection that only two people in this group met the 1.8-meter standard.
——One of them was the burly citizen who went to the toilet, and the other was "Mr. Yamaguchi" who I met once on the Shinkansen.
Under Calvados's gaze, Officer Gao Mu circled the two people in his notebook without hesitation, muttering quietly: "Come to think of it, I remember the information provided by the old man who was knocked down by the robber was 'the robber was a woman', and 'the clothes under the robber's coat were blue'...
"The robber was covered very tightly, so it's hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. Let's put gender aside for now - if we only look at the color of his clothes, Mr. Yamaguchi is wearing black, while Mr. Zama's is blue. Could he be the robber?"
Takagi Wataru's eyes lit up slightly, feeling that the truth was about to come to light.
However, at this moment, as if she had heard a few words from him, the female junior high school student suddenly remembered something: "Oh, speaking of coats, when that man was running, his coat was blown up by the wind. I remember the clothes under his coat were green!"
Officer Takagi was stunned: "...Green? Are you sure it's green, not blue?"
"Of course." The girl said confidently, "It must be green! This is my first time to encounter street robbery. It has a deep impression. I definitely won't remember it wrong."
Officer Takagi: “This…”
As a result, the clues provided by the two eyewitnesses conflicted - it was impossible for the robber to wear a patchwork shirt with blue on the left and green on the right.
Just when I was scratching my head, suddenly, a kind passerby came over.
A passerby tugged at his sleeve and pointed to the side: "Officer, the owner of that coffee shop has been bragging to the customers that he saw the robber clearly - if you need any clues, why not ask him?"
Officer Takagi was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Thank you very much, I'll go right away!"
——Compared with an old man with blurry eyes or a young junior high school student, the clues provided by an adult who can open a store must be more valuable.
Thinking of this, Officer Takagi ran over quickly.
…
Jiang Xia, who was ordered to follow the police, had just sat down in the coffee shop when he saw a familiar-looking policeman trotting in.
Jiang Xia was quite satisfied with this surveillance environment. He flipped through the menu and listened quietly to the conversation between Officer Takagi and the boss across the green plants in the store.
"Robber? I saw it," the cafe owner said happily, "It was the guy wearing a helmet, right? I remember when I was about to move the billboard out, I looked up and saw that guy snatching a bag on the road."
"Yes, it's him!" Officer Takagi felt like he was getting off work, and he became more motivated to take notes. "What are the characteristics of this person? Is he a man or a woman? What kind of clothes is he wearing? How tall is he?"
The owner of the cafe touched his chin and said, "The man was covered up from head to toe, so I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. But he was about 1.7 meters tall and wore a black coat under his coat."
Officer Takagi: "...?"
It’s fine that there are four suspects to choose from, but why are the statements of you three witnesses so different?
No, not just different, it's completely opposite - how can a person be both 1.7 meters tall and 1.8 meters tall, both male and female, and wear green clothes, blue clothes and black clothes?
...If he hadn't seen some robbery scenes from afar, he would have suspected that the robbers were a pair or even a trio.
