I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 113 alibi

"It's not too late, let's start now."

Several people walked up to the red-painted door of a house, and Officer Nakata knocked on it. A dull sound echoed in the deserted street.

"Is anyone home? We're the police!"

Nakata shouted a few words in a loud voice, and the surrounding area became quieter. There were dogs barking in the distance, but then they disappeared.

After about ten seconds, when everyone was getting a little anxious, there was a heavy sound of footsteps inside the door, accompanied by the sound of pulling the door bolt. This friction sound made several people's ears feel uncomfortable.

"I'm coming."

An aging voice responded inside the door.The sound of friction continued, and everyone could almost feel that the other party was struggling to open the iron bolt.

The red-painted door was opened inwards, and standing inside was an old man with half-black and half-white hair. His face had deep wrinkles and he was wearing a somewhat shabby black jacket. It was obvious at a glance that he was definitely not less than 60 years old. age.

"Hello, we are the police. We are here to ask if you have seen anyone suspicious around here recently?"

Officer Matsuno showed his ID and asked the old man to see clearly his photo and name on it.

"Suspicious person?"

The old man looked at the ID carefully, then looked up at Matsuno. After confirming that his identity was OK, he began to think slowly.

Another long and frustrating wait.

"There really is a wave." The old man looked at them.

"Who is it?" Nakata was a little happy. He didn't expect that he would be able to find clues just after checking the first house.
"It's you."

The old man pointed at Shirakawa Kazuya and the others, with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something interesting.

"Apart from us?" Officer Nakata was at a loss for words. He calmed down and continued to ask patiently.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let me think about it."

The old man lowered his head and looked at his toes again, thinking carefully for three minutes, and finally shook his head, "Then no more."

"Okay, please excuse me." Officer Nakata gritted his teeth and thanked the other party politely.

Several people watched the old man close the door and walk to the next house.

Shirakawa Kazuya glanced at the house number on the wall, which read 115.

"Do you think that old man's words are credible?" Nakata looked at the other people.

"Although the attitude is a bit suspicious, I think it may be just a matter of disrespect for the elderly. There is no need to lie to us." There was no malice in Matsuno's malicious words.

"Hey, let's go to the next one." Officer Nakata stepped forward.

After asking several houses from house to house, they all got the same result, until everyone came to the house with house number 123.

"May I ask if you saw any suspicious people around here this afternoon?"

Officer Matsuno took out his ID and went through a process that was no different from the many times before.

"When you said that, I was really impressed."

Standing in front of everyone was a young man with yellow hair, and he gave a somewhat surprising answer.

"Are you sure? It's an adult with a little girl?" Officer Matsuno hurriedly took out his notebook from his pocket and started recording with a pen. "Yes, both of them were wearing hats and masks. I was a little surprised at the time. I thought there wasn't much sunlight. Why were they so covered?"

Shamate leaned against the goalpost, his body language was very rich, and the expression on his face was a bit exaggerated.

"Then did you see clearly where they went?" Officer Matsuno continued to record in the notebook with a black pen.

Shamat shook his head, "I don't know that. I just remember that they continued to go that way."

He pointed deeper into the alley.

"Okay, thank you for the information you provided. If you have any other clues, please continue to contact us." After Officer Nakata gave him a contact information, everyone watched Shamate close the door.

"This is important information. If the other party didn't lie to us, we can reduce the search scope by half." Officer Nakata cheered up.

Just as they were about to move on to the next home, Officer Matsuno's phone rang.

"Hello, hello, I'm Matsuno. What? Did you find Shimoda Kazuto? Where is he now? Okay, let's go back now."

Matsuno hung up the phone and said to Tsukichi Chihaya, "Shimoda Kazuto was found. It is said that he was found while working in the izakaya. He is at the police station now, but things don't seem to be what we thought. Let's go see him Meet him."

Shirakawa Kazuya glanced deeper into the alley, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but at the moment, going to the police station was a better choice, so he nodded to Tsukiike Chihaya.

"Then let's go to the police station first and listen to what the other party has to say."

Shirakawa Kazuya got into Tsukichi Chihaya's car, and two policemen also drove there.The two cars drove towards the police station one behind the other.

"Here's the thing, he has a very complete alibi."

The police officer in charge of the interrogation told several people the whole story, and then walked out with his notebook.

Now there is a problem.Shirakawa Kazuya looked at the innocent-looking Shimoda Kazuto and frowned.

According to the police interrogation records, Shimoda Kazuto spent 12:30 to [-] o'clock today at the neighbor's house across the street.

As for what happened later, his testimony was that several people were dizzy after drinking some wine, so they lay down on the table and slept for a while.At about four o'clock, I was taken away by the police as soon as I went to the izakaya. I am sitting here, a little confused.

The residents of 302 are a couple named Nanyuan. The couple both said the same thing, that is, the three of them drank together at home. In the end, they were all drunk and slept at home without going anywhere.

"No, we even took photos!" Shimoda Kazuto showed them the photos on his phone.

The background of the photo is indeed the home of the 302 residents. Kazuto Shimoda is holding a wine glass, and there is a clock hanging on the wall behind him, with the hands pointing to [-]:[-] pm.

"Officer, I can go now. I still have work to do." Shimoda Kazuto said to several people aggrievedly.

"Okay, you can go back first. If there is any problem, we will summon you."

"Okay, thank you!" Kazuto Shimoda put his hands together, bowed with a smile, and stood up.

When he walked to Shirakawa Kazuya, he paused and said unintentionally, "This izakaya business can't be done without me. I have to go back to work quickly."

After that, he left without looking at Shirakawa Kazuya.

Seeing Kazuto Shimoda's leaving figure, Shirakawa Kazuya felt even more uneasy.

Is the other party really innocent?Did I look in the wrong direction?

Just when a few people felt that they were going in the wrong direction and were about to leave to discuss the matter further, the phone on the table rang.
