"This person is a major suspect!" exclaimed Kiyomi Liuli excitedly as soon as they left the Hamano household.
"Exactly, he's very likely to be scoping out the place before committing the crime," shared Okuno Yasuharu and Hidaka Tsukasa, equally invigorated, "Let's question the other residents. If we get similar information, we can report back to the headquarters."
"Let's hurry then!" Kiyomi Liuli felt like a real detective, filled with vigor from head to toe.
The group of four immediately proceeded to the other side of the Tominaga residence, where another elderly person lived, an old man named Hirakawa, over eighty years old, also belonging to the retirement community nearby.
old man Hirakawa, too, was unsurprised by the police visit; forensic officers had rummaged through his yard the previous night, and had kindly informed him that someone would come to inquire today, so there was no need to be nervous. Hence, he had boiled water early, ready to serve tea to his guests.
