The two rested in place for more than ten minutes, and soon they were on the road again.
The two soon came to a fork.
"This way we continue forward, and this way is a small stream." Koshikoshi Nanatsuki looked at the two roads: "Which way are we going?"
"It shouldn't be that far from the stream. Just wait here and I'll go over and take a look." Karasawa asked Koshimi Nanatsuki to stand where he was while he walked towards the stream on the rocks.
"I think with the two of us, it feels like finding a needle in a haystack."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the dense woods around him and said a little discouraged: "If Miss Hiroko was really killed, wouldn't it be too difficult to find her body in this environment?
You can't say for sure, when most people say this, they might find it as soon as they turn around." Tang Ze walked forward across the stone, smiling and comforting.
"I feel like you are deceiving me." Koshizui Nanatsuki rolled his eyes when he heard this, but after hearing Karasawa's words, he unconsciously walked to the other side of the stream.
The riverbank here is much smoother than the various large rocks on the Karasawa side, but it is also composed of pebbles.
Crossing the water Nanatsuki stepped on the pebbles, and the sound of "caracara" came from the soles of his feet.
But just after taking two steps, there was suddenly a different sound under my feet, like the sound of broken glass being crushed.
"Um?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard this different sound and subconsciously looked down, only to find a pool of dark green glass at his feet.
"It can't be so accurate..."
Koshimi Nanatsuki looked at the shards of glass at his feet that looked like champagne bottles, then looked at Karasawa on the other side and shouted: "Karasawa Criminal, I seem to have found a champagne bottle!"
"real or fake!?"
Karasawa was stunned for a moment when he heard Koshizui Nanatsuki's shouting. He didn't expect that his casual and unintentional words actually came true.
When he rushed over, he found that Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already put on white gloves to find the bottle mouth from the broken glass.
"Tangze Criminal, look, this bottle has not been opened yet."
Koshizui Nanatsuki took the only part of the bottle that was still intact and said: "That means this wine was not drunk, but was broken here.
Of course, it's possible that someone else broke it here casually, and it has nothing to do with the case we want to investigate."
"Looking at the logo, it is indeed the bottle of champagne in the photo."
Tang Zebi checked the trademark and confirmed: "When I was looking for the screw cap yesterday, I looked for the brand of the bottle of champagne.
The price of this bottle of wine is about the same as your salary, and the chance that you can afford it and bring it to such a deep mountain is very small."
"I'm really sorry that I'm poor." Koshizui Nanatsuki rolled his eyes and complained.
"When this case is solved, I will give you a better bottle." Tang Ze said with a smile: "Stop pantothenic acid."
"Hehe, this is what you said." Koshizui Nanatsuki smiled and said, "Then I'm not welcome."
"If you are polite to me, consider it as your extra reward for accompanying me to run errands and investigate."
Tang Ze said with a smile: "Put the things down first and let's look around."
"Yeah." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, and the two began to search around.
In fact, without much effort, the two of them found a small depression near the river bank where the champagne bottle was broken.
There is a stream next to this small depression, and it looks like the water is deeper, so this place becomes land.
If it's the rainy season, I'm afraid the stream will fill it with water and turn it into a small pool.
"Just don't go down there."
Karasawa looked at Koshizu Nanatsuki and said: "It's easy to jump from this height, but it's a bit troublesome to climb up. You're a girl, so don't go down." |
"Can you do it yourself?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the wet rocks at the edge of the depression and said, "It feels like there is no place around here where you can easily come up."
"Don't worry, I have this."
Tangze shook the watch on his wrist, pulled out the hook and wrapped it around the big stone a few times.
"I can't tell that this watch of yours actually has such high technology." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Karasawa's props and said in surprise.
"A multi-functional watch." Tangze smiled and said, "Those who work in our industry can use it more, so it can be used in various situations."
In fact, if he adjusts the hook mode to "rock", he can shoot directly into the rock.
But that would be a bit conspicuous, so Karasawa chose to tie the rope manually.
"Can I have this instead of champagne?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki heard what Karasawa said, looked at Karasawa's watch again, and couldn't help but say.
"You are quite discerning."
Tang Ze rolled his eyes: "Of course not, I can't even get a second one."
"Okay." Koshimizu Nanatsuki sighed a little disappointedly when he heard this, and watched Karasawa fix the rope on the rock and jump off.
The depression was not very big, so Tangze turned around and saw a large amount of blood on the rock wall behind him.
In addition to this, the camera also fell to the side.
"Blood was found and the camera looked like it had been dropped."
Because the blood stain and the location where the camera fell were close to the wall of the depression, even behind where Karasawa jumped, and the blood stain could only have been formed if the opponent fell in an abnormal posture.
"Did the prisoner push him down?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki immediately thought of this possibility and asked immediately: "Is Miss Hiroko down there?"
"No, this corner is next to a stream, and the body may have been washed away by the water."
Karasawa picked up the camera and saw the name "Sasaki Hiroko" marked on it, and determined that the person injured here was the target they were looking for.
No matter whether the other person was pushed down or fell, the most important thing now is to find the other person.
Karasawa shouted to Koshimi Nanatsuki: "Hurry up and call the police, ask the local police station to send people to support, and search the downstream river along the stream.
The camera I have here can prove that after Hiroko Sasaki fell, there was a chance that he fell into the river."
"clear!"
After hearing Karasawa's words, Koshisui Qiki immediately took out his cell phone and started contacting the local police station to call for support.
They did not mobilize the police to conduct a search before because they themselves did not know whether the case existed or whether it was a mistake.
Therefore, their investigation can only be regarded as a private investigation and not a formal torture. This is not even their jurisdiction.
But when Hiroko Sasaki's camera was found on the shore, and there were blood stains next to it, proving that the other party was likely to be injured or even washed away, then there was naturally a reason to mobilize the police.
After Koshimizu Nanatsuki explained the situation, the local police station immediately mobilized manpower to start searching for the body along the river bank.
As for Karasawa and Koshizui Nanatsuki, they returned to Kesouyan.
A large number of people were involved in the search, and the two of them wouldn't have much effect if they joined in.
This case has not been filed yet, but judging from the situation that Tang Ze and the two have now, it is very likely that a case will be filed for investigation in the future, so it is wiser to continue to pursue the case.
"It seems that what Mrs. Yadai is worried about will most likely come true."
Koshizui Nanatsuki knocked on the door and entered Karasawa's office. He sat on the sofa and said: "Considering the possibility that the prisoner took Miss Hiroko's cell phone and pretended to be her to send text messages after killing the other party, Miss Hiroko was
The probability of killing is very high.”
"Indeed."
Karasawa nodded and said, "By the way, when I was looking for screw cap information yesterday, didn't I ask you to investigate Hiroko Sasaki's identity information? Do you have any results now?"
"Please, Naoki Kamei-senpai, I just got the information."
Koshizui Nanatsuki shook the information in his hand, "I have already read it, and I can only say that people are not judged by their appearance. Mrs. Masashiro was completely deceived."
"kindness?"
After hearing Koshizui Nanatsuki's words, Karasawa took the information in his hand and looked through it.
Sasaki Reika, this is the other party's original name.
I am thirty years old. I went to college but dropped out midway. My early job was normal, but my career was obviously not ideal.
From two years ago until now, I have been working as a bartender at Harlem in Roppongi.
"No wonder I had to look for the photo and name for a whole day. It turned out that the name was fake."
After reading the information, Tang Ze suddenly said: "But why would a woman like her change her name, pretend to be a translator, and live in a high-end apartment like that?"
"If we knew the truth, we might be one step closer to solving the case." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shrugged.
"Let's go to her house again."
Karasawa closed the document and said: "Mrs. Masashiro and his "mother's friend" came to our door before. We ended the search hastily for the purpose of asking questions. This time we will search carefully.
Maybe we can get the answer from it.”
"This day has been really stressful."
Even though Koshizui Nanatsuki complained like this, he still stood up from the sofa honestly and followed Karasawa out of the door.
The two came to the Sasaki family's mansion again, and the scope of the search this time was obviously much larger than the previous one.
Last time, because I wasn't sure if it was a misunderstanding, I was naturally cautious in my actions for fear that the master would suddenly come back and cause misunderstanding and anger.
However, after investigation, it was found that the other party's change of name was obviously abnormal. In addition, the other party's life and death were unknown. Tang Ze and the two had legitimate reasons for the search, and they were obviously no longer restrained in their actions.
But they didn't know if the other party really wanted to pretend to be a translator, so the two of them searched through books for a long time but couldn't find anything useful.
Including some cosmetics in the bedroom, Koshimi Nanatsuki did not find any suspicious information.
"Ms. Sasaki couldn't have made enough money as a bartender, so she wants to start a new life anonymously."
Koshizui Nanatsuki rummaged through the boxes and said discouraged: "I didn't find anything."
"Maybe we didn't find it."
After Karasawa rummaged through the cabinet, he once again focused his attention on the low table with the notebook on it.
To be precise, it was on the blanket underneath the low table. He found that the position of the blanket seemed a little different from when they came before.
"Yue Shui, did you go to the laptop to look for something just now?" Tang Ze asked.
"No, we haven't looked for that area before, so what I'm looking for this time are places I haven't looked for before."
After hearing what Karasawa said, Koshizu Nanatsuki came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The gray blanket under the low table seems to be in a different position than when we came last time."
Karasawa said: "I remember that the blanket didn't cover the gap in the tatami on the left last time, but this time the quilt on the left was covered, and the gap on the right was exposed.
Not only that, look at the corner of the table."
Hearing this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki quickly came to the carpet, looked at the corner of the low table, and found that the gray blanket had obvious dents.
This is the indentation left on the carpet by the low table that had not been moved for a long time, but now the corner of the low table does not coincide with this depression.
"Someone come and move this low table!?"
Seeing the marks on the corner of the table, Koshimizu Nanatsuki immediately realized the problem.
"Well, let's move this table and take a look. Since someone has been here and specifically looked for it, maybe there is something hidden under it."
Karasawa's words made Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded, and the two of them moved the low table to the side in cooperation.
After lifting up the carpet, the two of them lifted up the tatami on the ground.
"I now believe there is something hidden down here."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the scattered soil under the tatami and the smooth soil around it, and knew that someone had probably dug up the ground before and then buried it.
"I guess there's something hidden underneath. Go ask the administrator to borrow a shovel," Tangze said.
"good."
Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded and walked outside. After a while, he brought two shovels.
"One handful is enough." Karasawa stopped him when he saw Nanatsuki Koshizui also holding a shovel and planning to help.
"Two people can go faster." Nanatsuki Koshizui smiled and said, "You will be the main force and I will assist you."
"Okay, let's dig." Hearing this, Tang Ze stopped talking and started digging with a shovel.
After a while, the two of them dug half a meter, and then they heard a "bang" sound as if the shovel hit the plastic.
After removing the dirt and taking a look, the two found that there was actually a suitcase inside.
But after picking up the suitcase and opening it, the two found that it was empty.
"It seems that the person who came in yesterday took away the contents of the box." Tang Ze turned on his super sense of smell and smelled: "The smell of ink, I'm afraid it was banknotes."
"But why don't you just take the suitcase away?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with some confusion: "Isn't it more convenient to take it away this way?"
"There are several possibilities."
Tang Ze pondered: "One is that the other party feels that the suitcase buried in the soil is too dirty and conspicuous, so he can replace it with a new one.
The second option is to change to something like a less conspicuous backpack."
Speaking of this, Tangze looked at the surveillance screen on his laptop, paused and said, "There is one last possibility, that is, the person who buried the things used this box as a tool to confuse later investigators, and left it here intentionally.
.
He hopes that when we dig into this empty box, we will feel that we are too late and that the items have already been taken away, thus covering up what is hidden underneath.”
