Ask the questions in order to earn SP. After asking the three questions, it doesn't matter whether you ask "About the police's movements" or not.

Interrogating the Amour Manager

The manager is visible in the "Amour front security footage 10:00". Present this photo as evidence to make him admit his involvement.

Asking About the Day of the Incident

Battle with Murase
