Akiko smacked Makura several times.
"No division is allowed. Mr. Renno is clearly being framed."
With utmost seriousness, Mikio Rinno looked at Shotaro Hidari and pleaded earnestly, "I'm begging you, Shotaro Hidari, I can only rely on you now. Help me find that diamond girl and prove my innocence."
The only person he can trust now is Shotaro Sato. He believes in Sato's abilities and that he can definitely prove his innocence.
Shotaro Zuo nodded emphatically.
I've known Mikio Renno for so many years.
He certainly didn't want to believe that Mikio Renno would do something like theft.
......
After leaving the interrogation room, Zuo Xiangtaro found Terui Ryu and Kujo Aya. They were now both Lu Chen's subordinates and colleagues at the police station.
Of course we should cooperate.
"Was this done by someone who possesses the memory?" Shotaro Sato went straight to the point.
"It's not clear yet. I've contacted Yukie to look up memory sales records related to this matter, but it's a lot of work, so we can't have any expectations in the short term."
Kujo Aya gently shook her head.
"That's it..."
"Then let's not just sit idly by."
Teruji Ryu and Kujo Aya both nodded.
Based on the information already known at the police station, and the clues gathered from his own investigations, Shotaro finally got a clue.
When Shotaro and Akiko collapsed onto a park bench, exhausted, Shotaro sorted out the results of their investigation.
"At every crime scene, there's a woman wearing a hat and dazzling diamonds. Is she the mysterious woman who framed Mr. Ren?"
"But the victims are all young and beautiful girls, so why was that middle-aged male police officer with a poor memory targeted?"
Akiko didn't quite understand this.
Shotaro shook his head and said, "Mr. Blade is indeed a middle-aged man who isn't very bright, but he's actually quite capable."
"How do you say this?"
Akiko countered with a question.
"He believes any nonsense."
"What do you mean?"
Akiko looked puzzled.
"Look! There's a UFO!" Shotaro suddenly pointed into the distance with a look of surprise.
"Where? Where?" Akiko feigned shock for a moment, then her face turned cold. "How could such a thing possibly exist?"
“You see, this is a normal reaction, but Mr. Ren will believe it.”
After saying this, Shotaro couldn't help but recall that every time he said this to Renno, the other party would believe it and stop to look carefully, which allowed him to escape each time.
In fact, Shotaro knew that Mr. Renno was deliberately letting him leave.
In the end, Mikio Renno would even pull him to the rooftop and say, "A UFO!"
"Because he always gets tricked so badly, we end up playing along with the lies. But the most incredible thing is that he never gets angry. In short, he's very good at being fooled."
"not understand."
Akiko said she didn't quite understand.
Just then, Shotaro's phone rang; it was Ryu Terui calling.
"Terui, have you found anything?"
Teruji Ryu replied:
"Apart from Renno, all seven female victims in the Diamond case were models and members of the same club. I don't think this is just a simple coincidence."
"Hmm...it is indeed very suspicious. What's the name of that club?" Shotaro rubbed his chin.
"Blue Topaz Club"
......
Shotaro and Akiko immediately headed to the Blue Topaz Club. Upon entering, they were greeted by a group of fair-skinned, beautiful women with long legs. Shotaro couldn't help but get excited at the sight: "They're all beauties!"
"Don't look lewd."
Seeing his pathetic state, Akiko had no choice but to take out her slipper and give him a good slap.
Shotaro quickly dodged and continued walking inside, but a waiter at the door stopped him, saying, "Excuse me, our store operates on a membership system, and only models are allowed in."
"Can't you tell I'm a model? Let me through." Shotaro Satoshi didn't blush at all.
After saying that, he tried to walk inside, but was violently pushed out by the waiter.
Akiko coughed lightly: "Ahem! So, can this beautiful director like me go in?"
The waiter stopped her again, and Akiko noticed the sparkling diamond in his hand.
However, at that moment, a familiar voice rang out from inside the club.
"They may not be models or club members, but they are my people."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found a handsome young man inside the club. Shotaro and Akiko recognized him and their pupils shrank immediately.
That's right, this person is...
Lu Chen!
"They want to come in, is there a problem?"
Lu Chen looked at the waiter and asked slowly.
"This...of course, no problem!"
The waiter's face flashed with embarrassment upon seeing this, and he immediately apologized to Shotaro and his companion.
"sorry."
Shotaro and Akiko immediately felt a strong sense of superiority. They both raised their chins and walked into the club with a cold snort.
Inside the club, colorful lights were flashing, and a group of long-legged beauties were swaying their bodies in front of Lu Chen on the dance floor.
She's supposed to be a model, but she looks...
It is clearly...
"Master!" Zuo Xiangtaro turned to look at Lu Chen and bowed respectfully.
Lu Chen nodded slightly and asked softly:
"You're here to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, Shotaro nodded and said, "Yes, it's about the recent diamond theft."
"I see..." Lu Chen wasn't surprised, after all, this case existed in the original story, and why would something like this happen after the museum became Lu Chen's property...?
Lu Chen only recently took control of the museum, while the murderer in the diamond case had already obtained the diamond memory long ago.
"Perhaps you can get some clues by looking for him." Lu Chen pointed to a spot, and Zuo Xiangtaro and the other looked in that direction.
next moment!
"Wow! It's the super popular model—Makoto Uesugi!" Akiko exclaimed excitedly, frantically rummaging through her bag for her notebook and pen before running off, her voice trembling with pleading, "Please sign my autograph!!!"
"Hey! This guy!"
Shotaro's lips twitched.
That was way too impulsive!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first meeting with Uesugi Makoto! You have received two gifts!!!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the Uesugi Makoto character greeting gift - T2 Diamond Memory!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received an extra gift from Makoto Uesugi - a T3 Diamond Memory!"
......
Uesugi Makoto glanced at Lu Chen, who had a mysterious smile on his face. Although he had a bad feeling, he still took the pen and paper and wrote his name on it. He casually asked, "By the way, who are you people?"
"What is your relationship with Mr. Lu?"
Shotaro Sato stepped forward and showed his business card: "We do this kind of work."
"I see." Makoto Uesugi saw the contents of the business card: Detective from Narumi Detective Agency.
Although he felt increasingly uneasy, he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and said again:
"What brings those two detectives here?"
"We've come to find Diamond Girl to prove a certain policeman's innocence," Akiko explained.
"A diamond girl?" Uesugi Makoto asked, puzzled.
"Do you know anything?" Shotaro's sharp eyes sized up Makoto Uesugi.
