On the way back from the interrogation, Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba happened to meet a robber who was trying to escape.

The two chased the robber to a park in a block. They met an old man who was knocked down and learned that the robber was hiding in the public toilet in the park.

However, after the two shouted, the person who came out …

"Come on, can't you be quiet?" Suspect + 1 — the brawny man with earrings.

"Oh, what the hell is going on? It's so noisy." Suspect + 2 — the short-haired office lady.

"Hey?

Why are the police here? "Suspect + 3 — the frail-looking four-eyed man.

"There are three people …" Takagi and Chiba were dumbfounded.

[Sorry, it's four now.]

[What a strange high school student.]

In the park, the two officers tried to let the old man identify the suspect.

"Student, please put down your hood."

[Is he going to be exposed so soon?]

"Uh, pink …"

As expected, the people from the other world who had not been "thought controlled" were shocked.

[Wow!

What's that?]

[What's this guy wearing?]

[Pink hair!

Are those two antennae? They must be antennae!]

[cosplay？

Future person?]

[Although I shouldn't think like that, it looks suspicious …]

Calm Qi Mu: [It's a wig.]

"Ah, then can you please take it off …" Takagi said uncertainly.

[Oh?

Take off the 'controller.' How about 'thought control'?]

"There's no need for that. There's no mirror in this public toilet. It's impossible to put it on so quickly.

And didn't the criminal wear a helmet just now?

It won't affect the identification. "

Chiba helped Qi Mu out of the situation and continued to think in her mind.

[Wow, that's amazing. I can't see anything wrong at all. It must take a lot of effort to dress up like this!

He must have gone to the XX comic convention next door. I just don't know what character he is.]

[Good!

Job！

Mr. Officer.]

She had even prepared an excuse for him to follow up.

"That's true." Takagi agreed.

[There's no way he would dress up like this to rob someone. Besides, he looks like a high school student.]

"Then, old man, can you tell who hit you?"

Unfortunately, the old witness said that his memory was a little fuzzy. He only subconsciously judged that it was a "woman in blue".

"But the only lady is dressed in black. We can't find the culprit at all!" Chiba said with a headache.

[No, the culprit has been found.]

Qi Mu glanced to the side. [It's this honest-looking man with glasses.]

Qi Mu had just teleported over when he heard the two police officers shouting.

At first, he didn't want to go out.

It wasn't that he didn't want to cooperate with the police. First, he was just passing by. Second, since they had narrowed down the search area, they would find the culprit sooner or later. At most, he could help secretly. It would be troublesome for everyone if he suddenly appeared and got involved.

However, "Teleport" had a cooldown of three minutes, "Transparency" needed a minute to activate, and "Miniaturization" could be activated immediately. However, there were still some abilities that couldn't be used after being miniaturized. Furthermore, they wouldn't be able to change back even after an hour. If they were discovered, it would be even more troublesome.

Remove the "controller" and teleport immediately?

[Haha.]

Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was definitely not a choice.

Therefore, when he heard the police officer's voice: [Although we have found an abandoned helmet and coat outside the toilet, we still have to search inside. If there are other crime tools, the culprit's identity will be more certain.]

Then, Qi Mu decisively chose to appear.

[Just find the culprit as soon as possible.]

He stared at the "weak four-eyes". [Before the police verify the identity of the "suspect."]

[Otherworldly people, let me show you the power of a superpower —]

[Telepathy's "Angel's Whisper"!]

[Damn it, why are there police officers around?!

Fortunately, they didn't recognize me. Let's continue like this.]

[No, you can't. That's wrong.]

[What, what is this?!

Why is it in my head?!]

The culprit turned pale with fright. This was because a big-breasted "angel (?!)" with his own face, white dress, long hair, and wings suddenly appeared in his mind.

He, who was originally thinking of how to find an excuse to escape punishment, had become a "devil" with black horns and a tail.

This "angel" was, of course, played by Qi Mu.

When describing a person's inner turmoil and ideological struggle, wouldn't it be common to say that there was a "little angel" and a "little devil" arguing in the brain?

Qi Mu could plant such a scene in the brain of even a person who didn't feel guilty and use his own image to persuade him.

[This way, you can solve the problem without arousing suspicion.]

Even the culprit would only think that he still had a conscience after the incident.

[Robbery is already bad behavior. Now you want to cause trouble for others?]

[Stop, your family and friends will cry because of this …]

The "devil" in the culprit's mind blushed. [Looks like I've succeeded in arousing his sense of shame. Okay, that's it. As long as you continue …]

The "angel" was smacked away by the "devil."

[It's all your fault, woman!

You kept pestering me for money and made me desperate. Now you're pretending to be innocent and making sarcastic remarks?!]

(● _ ●)

[… Looks like it's counterproductive.]

Qi Mu listened to the culprit's long inner monologue. [Ah, hmm, quite a melodramatic "love tragedy."]

But …

["That woman" and you look like husband and wife. Why don't you agree to turn hostility into friendship?]

On the other hand, the two criminal police officers decided to return to the crime scene to look for other witnesses.

Thus, Qi Mu and the other three people were arranged to squeeze into the back seat of the police car by the roadside.

"I'm really sorry. I can only let you squeeze in now."

After Officer Takagi dealt with everyone's complaints, he closed the door and walked towards the crowd.

"But it's strange. Usually, there are only three suspects." Chiba, who was left in the driver's seat, sighed.

[Eh?

Something's not right.]

In the car, Qi Mu listened attentively to the two eyewitness testimonies that Takagi had just obtained.

Testimony B, "Wearing green clothes over 1.8m" and Testimony C, "Wearing black clothes around 1.7m."

Together with the previous Testimony A, "Woman in blue," the three testimonies did not match at all.

While Officer Takagi was shocked, Qi Mu also felt that something was amiss.

This was because none of the four suspects matched even one of the testimonies, except for …

Qi Mu, 167cm, black hoodie, pink hairpin, Namio.? _?

As expected, the police officer also began to have doubts.

[Although the characteristics of the robbers described by the three witnesses were completely different, compared to the high school student who saw the robbers through the glass and the old man whose glasses were knocked off, the coffee shop owner who passed by is indeed more believable.]

[Should I choose C?

Listen to my D, "171.6cm, green hoodie, short hair, slanted eyebrows, black-rimmed glasses."]

[Also, the student was wearing a strange hairpin. It's not impossible for the old man to mistake him for a woman.]

[So, how about I take off the "hairpin"?]

Fortunately, this police officer was somewhat reliable.

[No, no, no, the robbers were still wearing helmets when they were seen. Neither the hairpin nor the earrings could be seen.]

[Also, we must first understand why the testimonies are different when there is no need for the witnesses to lie.]

[Why is that?]

[Yeah, why? You're the only prisoner who doesn't have any "female characteristics."]

In the coffee shop, Officer Takagi finished his questioning and was walking back.

[I wonder if the criminal would involuntarily give the answer in his heart after hearing the testimonies?]

Qi Mu had been paying attention to the "inner voice" of the suspect, but ever since the guy was stimulated by the "angel," he began to complain about all kinds of things that went wrong in his life. He didn't provide him with any useful clues.

It was not until Takagi walked back to the car and called Chiba out to discuss the case that the robber came back to his senses and began to worry about the situation.

[The police officer came back with the testimonies?

It's okay, no one saw my face!]

[I won't be discovered, right?]

[Along the way, other than the old man, did anyone else see me up close?]

[Quick, think carefully, after I came out of the supermarket …]

[This is it!

"Direct Telepathy!"]

When Qi Mu used "telepathy," if he touched the robber, not only could he "collect" the robber's voice, but he could also "transmit" and "collect" the images.

Now, the four of them were squeezed in the backseat like sardines, and the suspect was close to his left.

[Hmph, it's indeed useful to follow behind Mr. Convict when you get on the bus.]

After knowing the appearance and testimonies of the witnesses and looking at the robber's memory, Qi Mu had a sudden realization.

[I see, but I still don't know what the old man's testimony is about.]

[Let's pass this on to the police officer first.]

[Street Teeth!]

[Color Changing Glasses!]

The words that suddenly appeared in Officer Takagi's mind stunned him. He then turned around and ran back to the witnesses. When he returned, he had already locked onto the suspect.

After explaining to Chiba, who was still confused, the two police officers decided to return to the car and start taking statements from the four people.

"Band members, office workers, cram school lecturer, and high school students."

"Then, why are you all here?"

Chiba, who was a fan of the 2D world, was obviously interested in Qi Mu. Her eyes sparkled as she asked him about his cosplay character, how he put on his makeup, and what kind of clothes he should change into next.

[Forgive me.]

Fortunately, Takagi's awkward reminder stopped him in time.

(Chiba, superpower user, natural beauty, just need to change into school uniform.)

Takagi, on the other hand, finally figured out all the key points in the conversation about the watch, and found the real robber in one fell swoop.

[It's finally over, it's been almost two hours.]

[So, the old man saw the watch with the face facing inward.]

[Wait!

I could have used the "Telepathy Divination" to find out about the forgotten scene and remind him, right?]
