Chapter 679 New World, My Name is Amber
"My name is Amber. I am 27 years old and single. I currently live in Honmachi 3-chome, Shibuya District. The house is a one-family house. I live alone. I have not considered finding a girlfriend for the time being. I go home on time at eight o'clock every day, and eleven at the latest I go to bed at 30:00 and have the habit of drinking goat's milk before going to bed. I can basically sleep until dawn and never bring worries to the next day. Doctors say that my life is very healthy. "
"Ahem, there's no need to be so formal. After all, this is just an ordinary convenience store."
"This is my attitude towards doing things. Responsibility and seriousness are my pronouns. Store manager, do you think I have a chance?"
"Um"
The middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap pondered, looking up and down at the applicants in front of him.
The neatly styled hair, the purple suit that was so straight that no wrinkles could be seen, and the strictly symmetrical sleeves and shoulders made him look very refined.
I originally promised my wife that she would let her brother come over to work. Do I want to refuse?
This thought came to mind, and the middle-aged man suddenly felt a chill rising from his tailbone, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Okay, when can you go to work?"
"Any time."
Amber showed the right smile, just like his dress at the moment, delicate and elegant.
"Then come over tomorrow. It's too late now and it's not easy to calculate wages."
The middle-aged man was sweating constantly on his forehead. The air conditioning was clearly on in the store. Why was this happening?
"Then I won't bother you. See you tomorrow, dear store manager."
Amber nodded, turned and walked outside.
As he left, the dirty-faced middle-aged man standing at the counter let out a long sigh of relief, but soon realized something was wrong. What was he nervous about?
Is it because of that guy just now? Although he was so polite, it couldn't possibly be because of him. Could it be that he was caught up in something unclean?
Puzzled, he took off his hat and wiped the sweat off his head with a tissue.
The bald scalp glowed under the light, which looked a bit dazzling at first glance.
the other side.
After Amber left the convenience store, he was going to buy some groceries so that he could make some food in the evening. However, before he could reach the vegetable market, he was blocked by a speeding police car.
A policewoman wearing black stockings and with a mean figure opened the car door and walked over.
"Sir, we now suspect that you are related to a serial murder case. Please cooperate with the inquiry."
Such a familiar opening line.
Amber frowned and said softly: "If you have really investigated me, you should know that in addition to going to work, I take one day a week to do community activities, and then take another day to volunteer in a nursing home. Serial murder? I think you are insulting me."
"Ah this."
The female police officer was stunned and turned to look behind her. Another male police officer who got out of the car took over.
"This only shows that you have a lot of time and are very free. It doesn't prove anything."
His tone was cold and serious, "Many perverted murderers will disguise themselves as good people. If you do this, you will be more suspicious."
"Okay, I can cooperate with your investigation, but in order not to affect my interview tomorrow, can it be completed before eight o'clock tonight? After all, I have to go to bed early to refresh myself."
Amber spread her hands and said, with a look of helplessness on her face.
The extremely realistic acting skills made the woman feel guilty. Could it be that she really found the wrong person?
Compared to him, the male police officer is very experienced, "Don't worry, I'm just looking for you to ask some questions."
"That's good."
From the beginning to now, everything Amber has shown is very normal, without any flaws.
A moment later, in a cafe on the roadside.
"Where were you from 8 to 11 pm on the 18th of last month?"
The person who asked the question was a female police officer. She hung her name tag on her chest with the words Hanako Asai written on it.
The male policeman was not like this. He had been sitting on the sofa with his arms folded since he came in, and his eyes were fixed on Amber, as if he wanted to read something from his face.
"at home."
Amber replied: "Anyone who knows me knows that I never go out after eight o'clock."
"you are lying!"
Hanako Asai slapped the pen on the table: "That night, someone saw you in Nerima District and brutally killed a girl."
"Where's the evidence?"
Amber scratched her head and said, "Officer Asai, please pay attention to your words, otherwise I will sue you for defamation."
Hanako Asai pursed her lips, and then directly ignored the topic: "You said you were at home, can anyone prove it?"
"Yes. At about nine o'clock, the Kageyama family who lives next door to me came over to borrow a lock pick. The reason was that his youngest son Kageyama Shigeo lost the key."
Amber said very naturally.
Hanako Asai wrote the word Kageyama with a pen, and then said: "On the 20th of this month, from 1 noon to 5 pm, where are you?"
"I'm looking for a job. There are interview records. You can investigate. Well, I seemed to be applying for a job at the Ivy Club at the time."
Amber's answer was flawless.
Hanako Asai planned to continue asking, but was interrupted by the man next to her: "Okay, that's it for today. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. An."
"It's okay. Cooperating with your work is the responsibility of every citizen."
Amber straightened his suit which was wrinkled because of his sitting posture, and continued after it was straightened again: "Well, although I am very embarrassed, I still have to say that I have some financial difficulties recently, so please pay for this cup of coffee, two officers. Goodbye."
Hanako Asai looked at him unwillingly until the figure disappeared completely, and then asked the companion next to him in confusion: "Senior Ito, why don't you let me continue asking? His alibis are likely to be false. After all, we are..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago when she had to invite a psychic because she had no clue.
The descriptions of those victims were exactly the same as Amber's image. The reason why they didn't arrest him was simply because there was no evidence.
"Whether it is true or not, our goal has been achieved. Next, we just need to keep an eye on this guy."
Haruki Ito gently stroked the stubble on his chin: "He will definitely do it again."
Hanako Asai wanted to refute, but considering the other party's reputation in the police force, she still endured it.
By the way, if her father wasn't a police inspector, she might not be able to form a partnership with him.
Will he really do it again?
Hanako Asai took a deep breath and could only believe him.
Amber, who left the cafe, continued to follow her own pace.
Buy groceries, go home, cook, and then.
