In the end, Lin Xiuyi still obeyed the advice of the Shenmu Police Department and did not continue to inquire about the news from the Police Department. As Shenmu senior said, Lin Xiuyi's strength cannot challenge the authority of the police department at all, so the smartest way is to catch the murderer of Yano Tomomi as soon as possible, and reduce the pressure on the Kuangdao police department.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiuichi and Miki drove to the convenience store near Kaisei Kusishi Park in Suginami Ward. Just yesterday afternoon, Miki had made an appointment with the store manager here. When they arrived here, the store manager had been waiting here for a long time.

"I'm sorry, the place here is very small. If possible, please wait for me at the coffee shop across the street. I'll tell the staff and come right away!"

The manager of this 711 convenience store is Soichiro Shimizu. According to Miki's previous investigation, Soichiro Shimizu had been the store manager here from the year before last. This means that the bottle of mascara that Lin Xiuyi got should have been transferred to Yano Tomomi when Soichiro Shimizu was the store manager.

Lin Xiuichi and Miki didn't wait long in the cafe opposite when Soichiro Shimizu, dressed in casual clothes, found them.

"I'm sorry, I only have a few minutes, it's almost noon, I'm worried that my colleagues won't be able to cope..."

Soichiro Shimizu sat on the seat, bowed his head and apologized to Lin Xiuichi and Miki.

"Ah...there! It's us who should be embarrassed, but don't worry, we're just asking a few small questions, it shouldn't take long..."

As Lin Xiu said, he took out the bottle of mascara found in Yano Tomomi's house from his pocket. Now the bottle of mascara has been packed in a transparent evidence bag to prevent the fingerprints of investigators from being left on this crucial clue.

"This... I know! It's Shiseido majolica love mirror mascara, which sells well, especially among students..."

Shimizu Soichiro just glanced at it and said the relevant information about this bottle of mascara, and he also mentioned that this mascara is very popular among students. This made Lin Xiuyi very concerned.

"Mr. Shimizu, according to our investigation, this bottle of mascara was treated as a consumable item around March last year. I can ask you first, what this consumable item means..."

"Well... the meaning of consumables, Mr. police officer, don't look at us as a small convenience store, but because it is near the park, many girls from nearby schools will take shortcuts from the park to go home after school. , and occasionally stop by us. Speaking of which, the biggest buyers of mascara are them..."

"Make-up is not allowed in schools, but basically no one can see it if it's just mascara. And in the student group, if something becomes popular, it will cause more students to buy it. But not Not everyone has enough pocket money..."

After Lin Xiu heard Soichiro Shimizu's words, he immediately understood what the other party meant, and the meaning of loss was being stolen. So, did Tomomi Yano stole this bottle of mascara from the convenience store?

After getting the hint of Soichiro Shimizu, Lin Xiuyi took out the photo of Tomomi Yano from his pocket and placed it in front of Soichiro Shimizu, and then continued to ask Shimizu:

"Excuse me? Mr. Shimizu, do you still have any impression of this girl?"

When Soichiro Shimizu saw the photo that Lin Xiuyi handed over, he immediately took it in his hand and lowered his head to observe it seriously. After about half a minute, Soichiro Shimizu returned the photo to Lin Xiuyi and said to Lin Xiuyi:

"Yes, I remember this girl!"

"Really? When did you meet her?"

Lin Xiuyi and Miki, who unexpectedly got a positive answer, couldn't believe their ears, but after the surprise, Lin Xiuyi felt that something was wrong again. It's been almost a year since this mascara was lost. Why is Shimizu Soichiro like this? Surely he has seen Yano Tomomi?

"It was around March last year, but I can't remember the exact day. That day happened to be when my colleague Xiao Zhi and I were on duty together. At that time, the girl picked up mascara and stuffed it into her shirt, and Xiao Zhi gave it to him on the spot. caught?"

Soichiro Shimizu said without hesitation.

"But why are you so sure it's her? She shouldn't be the only girl caught stealing from your store, right?" Lin Xiuyi asked worriedly.

"Hey, but she steals things so confidently, I only remember her!" Shimizu said disdainfully, and then shook his head regretfully. It seemed that something unpleasant happened.

"What's going on, can you tell us about it?" Miki also asked Soichiro Shimizu curiously.

"Officer, even though it's been so long, I still feel angry when I think about it. Didn't I tell you just now that the colleague who was on duty with me was called Xiao Zhi. But after that day, he was forced to Resigned. And the direct reason Ash was forced to resign was this girl..."

"Actually, Xiao Zhi is my hometown. I knew him very well when I was a child! Working in a convenience store is actually very boring and hard work~lightnovelpub.net~ And now few people want to stay in the store for a long time. So I put Xiao Zhi was introduced to the convenience store where I work, and the result was just as I expected, Xiao Zhi is really a very hard-working guy who can stand loneliness..."

"When Xiao Zhi was on duty that day, he found out that this girl was stealing something, and Xiao Zhi grabbed her on the spot. Then I ran over to deal with it immediately. During that time, our store suffered a lot from the theft, and it was hard to catch her. Of course, staying in one will be dealt with severely. But when we asked the girl to call his parents or teachers, the girl in turn falsely accused Xiao Zhi of trying to molest her..."

"At that time, things were very turbulent, and soon a group of customers gathered outside the store to watch the fun. Not only did this girl not reflect on her mistake, but she called the police over and said that she would sue Xiao Zhi for slandering her for stealing things. I want to search her body, but I actually want to molest her!"

"And then, how did the police deal with it later?" Lin Xiuyi quickly asked. Because he found a motive that might cause murder to vent his anger from Shimizu's description of Ash.

"When Xiao Zhi was in school, he was played with feelings by a girl in his class at his hometown, and he had a history of stalking and harassment. Because of this, the police officer who came to deal with the problem at that time accepted the girl's statement, and in the end Xiao Zhi believed it. He was taken away by the police. After coming back, I have no face to stay here any more..."
