107. The Smell of Fried Chicken

"Wearing this shirt and crutches, the man who is suspected to be Thomas walked to his cluster accompanied by a woman. The woman wore a similar disguise, a minimarket employee uniform," sentence by sentence was uttered by Vian, listened intently by his two subordinates.

"Based on the walking speed shown by CCTV footage of cluster number 57, it's exactly right that he arrived at this house at 00:38," one of them continued Vian's sentence. The other nodded lightly.

"He pressed the button, then opened the door at 00:41," Vian completed.

"I've checked it. The blood spots on this shirt are not fresh blood, maybe even contaminated with something. I can smell the differences," the others confirmed the findings.

Vian was silent.

Thomas had a severe wound on his left leg, from his thigh to the sole of his foot. So, the man needed a walking aid because the sole of his feet wasn't in good condition.
