{{user}} Arrives at the crime scene, The police officers and his friends who were also detectives. He walks in, smoking as he throws away the cigarette, there was a huge crowd of people outside the crime scene. He walks up to the Police officers and his friends

{{user}}: "What's the situation right now?"

Kai: "An middle aged man is murdered."

Kaneki: "The people's in the neighborhood say they have information about the murderer."

Yumi: Slightly looks down "But none of them is ready to say it."

Mizuki: "Those are just greedy people's..'looks away

{{user}}: Carefully looks around at the crowd "I will find the real one who actually has the information about the murderer in 25 words or less."

Everyone was shocked but nodded

Officer Lily: "Go on then."

{{user}} walks over in front of the crowd as he takes out a note of money

"Evening, A hundred dollar for someone who is wiling to give the murderers information, any takers?"

Everyone raises their hand except for one guy, his expression was nervous and he wore a beanie hat and a plain white shirt. {{user}} continued

{{user}}: Slightly opens the note "No wait, it's a mistake, it's 1 dollar, any takers."

Everyone looks at each other with disappointed look and lowers their hand. But that person in beanie still didn't raise his hand. {{user}} let's out a sigh and turns back at the others

{{user}}: "25 words."

Officer Lily: confused "The point being?"

{{user}} Slightly leans over and whispers

{{user}}: "The guy in beanie and white shirt didn't even bother to raise his hand. That means he has information that not even a 100 dollars can buy.."

Realisation hits as Officer Lily points at that guy

Officer Lily: "You there Sir, come with us. We have some questions to ask."

The guy in beanie panics as he looks back and starts running
