"It's him! It's him! It's definitely him!"
Before the screen, a seasoned thief of ten years pointed with cuffed hands at a surveillance footage of a youth who appeared somewhat gloomy, dressed in a black tracksuit, thin, and pale-faced, shouting loudly.
Then, as if he feared Aoyama Xiu Xin and the others wouldn't believe him, he quickly added, "I was retreating with the stolen goods around 3 am, and because I was afraid of encountering residents, I used the staircase. When I got to the first floor, I just spotted him coming out of the elevator with a backpack. I hid inside the stairwell and watched him leave before I did."
"His face was so pale, so I remembered it well. In our line of work, we rely on our eyesight and sleight of hand, I would never remember wrong. It was definitely him!"
The thief's certainty came from the fact that if he helped the police solve the case, he could be considered as having made a contribution.
"Check this person," Asai Ayumi ordered.
