After copying the mailer on the paper shell, the two left Nanami's house without any sentimental feelings.
The two of them did not look for Masayo Yamada again, after all, there was no point in looking for each other.
In this round of investigation in the morning, I felt that I had gained a lot of information, and I also learned about the various secrets hidden behind each wife.
But these secrets are more like personal gossip, and their help to the case is very subtle.
So the two of them returned to the office, intending to sort out and investigate the information they had obtained so far.
"I found the mailer you asked me to check."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki came to Karasawa who was in front of the computer with the information and said: "The sender, Eita Arimura, is a gallery owned by a relative of the principal of Keimei Elementary School."
"If this is the trick."
Hearing this, Tang Ze raised his head and said, "Buy a cheap painting at a ridiculously expensive price, and then take the inflated price as a bribe.
This is a very typical method of enrolling students through the back door."
"The price of that painting seems to have surprised Ms. Hiroko."
Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "If he sees the value of that painting like me, maybe he can contact Eita to enroll and find out about the back door."
"This possibility is very high." Tang Ze nodded.
"Then there will be a motive for the murder."
Koshizui Nanatsuki said thoughtfully: "Mrs. Madoka's alibi can be confirmed.
It seems that it was Mrs. Lily or Mrs. Nanami who killed Mitsuko-san as Mrs. Masashi said."
But after Koshizui Nanatsuki finished explaining her reasoning, she received no response. She looked at Karasawa who was once again concentrating on looking at the computer, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? I'm so fascinated that I don't even listen to what I'm talking to you."
"Same thing as this."
Tang Ze took the green screw cap behind his back without looking back, and continued to browse the web page with his right hand.
"Hey, isn't that what it is?"
Looking at what was revealed after the webpage was refreshed, Nanatsuki Koshimi compared the screw cap in his hand: "What a coincidence. It seems that I was really lucky. You found it as soon as I came here."
Koshizu Nanatsuki shamelessly took the credit for herself. Tang Ze rolled his eyes but didn't bother to talk to her.
Then Karasawa looked at the description of this product and found that it was an accelerating nut for skateboards.
"Skateboarding, it seems like I need to go there tonight."
After reading the product introduction, Tangze recalled the stairs before and found that it was indeed a good place to skateboard.
The stairs are high enough and have a platform in the middle as a buffer. In addition, there is a downhill slope in the middle of the stairs, which skateboarders may like.
And they usually have a fixed place to skateboard, so as long as the weather is good, you can probably get to them at night.
The two finally had an early dinner and met some young people playing skateboards on the stairs.
The next day, the two visited Masayo Yamada again and told each other the results of their investigation.
"You are saying that Miss Hiroko did not fall from the steps of the park last Wednesday?"
Hearing Karasawa's words, Yamada Masashi said in disbelief: "How is that possible?"
"Actually, there was a group of people practicing skateboarding on the steps of the park that night."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said: "That is to say, if someone falls, someone will definitely see your situation at that time."
"That means Miss Hiroko has never been pushed down the steps." Karasawa looked at Yamada Masairo and said calmly: "In other words, what you said before was a lie to us. Please tell me the reason for lying."
"This, this is"
Although Karasawa's tone was calm, Yamada Masayo, who had seen Karasawa's keen insight, felt extremely depressed in the silence.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Nanatsuki Koshizui pointed at the photos and said: "Look carefully at these photos on the wall. In the 59 minutes after Ms. Hiroko left and when you received the text message, you also had a blank period where you were not photographed.
Arrived.
Could it be that you took the initiative to approach us and did these things in order to divert attention and avoid being suspected?"
"No!" Masayo Yamada denied with an excited expression.
"But it is undeniable that in the photos you posted, your blank time was longer than anyone else." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Masashiro Yamada and said calmly.
"That's it." Yamada Masashi opened his mouth hesitantly, but couldn't speak.
"I guess that's the case."
At this moment, Tang Ze spoke: "The reason why you were not caught by the camera is because you have been taking everyone's cameras to take pictures of them. Isn't that right?"
Tangze came to the photo wall: "The photos you posted on the wall are all photos taken by different cameras.
The pictures taken by compact cameras, SLR cameras, mobile phones, and various equipment are also obviously different."
At this point, Karasawa walked towards the 1:25 column: "For example, this photo is of you. You said that Mrs. Madoka took it for you with her camera, right?
But in fact, in the other photos taken by Madam Madam Madam's camera, only Madam Madam Madam and others were taken, but you were not captured at all.
In addition, Mrs. Lily and Mrs. Nanami's cameras are also the same.
In other words, it was actually you who took these photos, just using a different camera."
Looking at Yamada Masairo with his mouth tightened and aggrieved expression on his face, Karasawa said calmly: "Perhaps this is more accurate.
In fact, they asked you to take these photos, right?"
"Come to think of it, I remember you were still responsible for collecting garbage, right?" Koshizui Nanatsuki continued to rub salt into the other party's wounds: "Is it said that you were excluded and bullied?"
This sentence seemed to touch some mechanism. Yamada Masayo could no longer hold back the resentment and grievance in her heart. She nodded but shook her head.
“Not being bullied”
Yamada Masashiro said with some difficulty: "Just three months ago, my husband was fired from the company.
In order to support my family, I started working in a newly opened supermarket from that day on.
Then I met the three of them.
Although they say polite words and want to come here often to buy things, they actually look down on me more and more.
From then on, they always said to me, "Please collect the garbage," "Help take photos," and the like."
Yamada Masashi choked with grievance: "It is true that I am very angry and aggrieved, but I have to cooperate with them.
If I am excluded in Lijiang, my children will be in the same situation, so we must maintain superficial harmony!"
This is also the reason why Yamada Masashi nodded and then shook his head, because the bullying was true, but it was also voluntary on her part.
The purpose is to allow the child to have a good environment and not be excluded by his friends.
"Could it be that you are thinking too much?"
Looking at the choked Yamada Masaro, Koshimizu Nanatsuki said in confusion.
"An unmarried little girl like you doesn't understand our mother friends at all!"
Yamada Masashiro roared excitedly, then looked at Karasawa next to him and said: "I apologize for lying before, but in recent times, everyone's attitude towards Miss Hiroko is really strange!
It’s like treating a scar that grows with caution, there must be a reason.”
Yamada Masashiro said this and bowed to the two of them: "Please, please investigate carefully!"
Seeing this, Tang Ze looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
After leaving the door, Koshizui Nanatsuki said a little unhappy: "You really made us play around.
Now I wonder if Miss Hiroko is really going on a trip, after all, this is just a stupid thing between middle-aged women."
"But the other party's mobile phone has been unable to get through for three days, which is indeed abnormal."
Tangze said: "And the other party has shown her unbearable side. It can be said that her face has been trampled to the ground, but she still wants us to investigate and prove that she really thinks that Miss Hiroko may be guilty."
thing.
We looked around for the last bottle of champagne that disappeared but couldn’t find where it ended up.”
"That's true." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, "Then let's go find that bottle of champagne?"
"That's right." Tang Ze nodded and walked non-stop towards where he parked his car.
"Then you plan to go up the mountain?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the time: "Although it's only morning now, we definitely won't be back at noon. I think we need to take care of lunch first!"
"When I came here, I saw there was a convenience store nearby, so I went up the mountain to buy some things." Tangze replied directly.
"No!" Koshizui Nanatsuki's expression instantly collapsed when he heard this: "I don't want to eat rice balls on the mountain."
"Then there's no place to warm up when eating a bento, so why not eat some rice balls to cope with it." Tangze rolled his eyes.
"Then let's buy a burger."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard that Karasawa was about to relent, his eyes lit up and he said: "It's still warm today, let's take it with us first, there is wrapping paper and a box, it will definitely still be hot when we go to the mountain.
I'll put it in my bag, maybe it can be postponed until lunch time."
"You guys," Tang Ze said helplessly, "You really treat this as an outing."
"Going up the mountain for work and going up the mountain for an outing are two completely different mentalities. Naturally, I have to make up for it elsewhere." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said confidently.
In desperation, Karasawa had no choice but to agree to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's request and drove to a burger shop to buy some burgers and fried chicken.
As a result, Koshimizu Nanatsuki started to eat fried chicken when he got in the car. The aroma filled the entire car and made Karasawa who was not hungry at first, finally become hungry.
Halfway there, watching Nanatsuki Koshizu finish her portion, Karasawa drove Nanatsuki Koshizu to the driver's seat, while he sat in the passenger seat and started eating fried chicken.
The journey was uneventful, and the two finally arrived at the place where Yamada Masaro and others had come to have a barbecue a few days ago.
Because they had seen photos from Masayo Yamada before, the two of them easily confirmed that they were not looking in the wrong place.
"The location for the barbecue was here, and Ms. Hiroko walked in that direction afterwards."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki compared the memory in the photo and said: "We all don't want to walk the same path we took when we met Hiroko in the photo."
"Well, the bridge should be in that direction."
Karasawa looked around, compared the map, and finally walked in the direction where Yamada Masaro's son Daiki last saw Miss Hiroko.
After passing the restroom, the two came to the gentle stream area and saw the suspension bridge in front of them.
"Miss Hiroko whom Dahui saw at that time must have crossed the bridge from here and then walked to the other side." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said.
"Well, let's go up to the bridge and have a look." Karasawa nodded and took Nanatsuki over the water onto the suspension bridge.
After crossing the bridge, the two of them continued along the road ahead.
Both of them were young people and walked quickly. They walked along the way and checked to see if there were any places nearby. It was noon soon.
"It's time for dinner." Koshimizu Nanatsuki wiped the sweat from his forehead, found a shady place and said, "Let's take a rest first, and let's start dinner."
"Okay, we've gone that far." Tang Ze nodded.
"Here, here's the hamburger for you. I said it's still hot." Koshimizu Nanatsuki washed his hands by the river, then took out the hamburger from his bag and handed it to Karasawa.
"Yes, you are full of tricks." Tang Ze prevaricated perfunctorily.
"By the way, how long do we have to go?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki took a bite of his burger and said, "It's been almost an hour since we went up the mountain, right?"
"Well, considering that Hiroko set off after dinner at one o'clock and sent the text message at nearly three o'clock, let's walk another hour and a half."
"An hour is enough. Don't forget if Dahui-kun finally sees each other on the bridge."
Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "If that was the prisoner pretending to be, it proves that Miss Hiroko was already killed at that time.
In other words, the final distance that Miss Hiroko walked may only be about an hour and a half, and we have already walked for an hour."
"But because we have to check the conditions on both sides of the mountain road, we walk much slower than normal."
Tangze took a bite of the beef burger in his hand and said, "At our speed, it would be safer to walk another hour and a half."
"You are the boss, I listen to you." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shrugged, agreed with Karasawa's plan, and began to eat the burger with concentration.
It has to be said that going up the mountain consumes energy. The two of them just finished eating fried chicken, but now each of them ate two burgers.
"No, I'm full." Nanatsuki Koshizui covered his stomach and said, "If I had known, I would have given you half of the second one."
"It will be fine after a short rest and then a walk."
Seeing Nanatsuki Koshizu covering his stomach without any image, Karasawa couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How old are you, don't you even know how much you eat?
It would be strange if he drank so much coke in the end."
"Because I wanted to eat this beef so much, I accidentally got greedy." Koshimizu Nanatsuki chuckled without any embarrassment: "The same goes for Coca-Cola."
Looking at the childish Koshimi Nanatsuki, Karasawa could only smile helplessly.
Although the other party was reliable at critical moments, he seemed to have been relieved of his burden after letting go of his hatred. He always liked to be "skinned" every day, which made him a little speechless.
But this is the vitality that the other party should have at his age, and Tang Ze doesn't feel bad about it.
Rather, it is better to say that this is what Tang Ze wants to see, and it is also his motivation to continue to prevent tragedies.
