"Eh!?"
Kawase Haruna was shocked when she heard this expression, then lowered her head and became silent.
Karasawa always paid attention to the other person's expression and found that Kawase Haruna's eyes showed sadness.
"May I ask how you met?"
Looking at Kawase Haruna who lowered his head and remained silent, Karasawa broke the silence by finding a light topic.
Hearing that Karasawa did not interrogate, but asked about the process of their acquaintance, Kawase Haruna subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately:
"Youmei often comes to watch our plays. Over time, we got to know each other through chats, and our relationship became closer."
"Then, is there anyone going to watch the show with her?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.
"No, she always comes to the theater alone."
Kawase Haruna shook her head when she heard this, seeming to think of the scene where the two met, with a look of nostalgia on her face: "She said that she is not very good at interacting with people, so she likes the dark environment in the theater and the bright scenes on the stage.
world."
"What do you think of her?" Tangze asked a topic that had nothing to do with the case.
Kawase Haruna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she looked a little sad and said: "In my opinion, she is like a crystal craft, slender and fragile.
So I always advise her and tell her that she needs to be more open-minded in life, otherwise it won't work."
"Do you know where this is?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu took out a photo of the deceased's room and handed it to Kawase Haruna and asked.
"This is Youmi's room."
Kawase Haruna flipped through the photos, then saw the photos on the computer and mobile phone and said: "These two are hers, I saw them in her room.
Moreover, I made up the crystal bracelet on this mobile phone. It was a gift for Youmei on her birthday.
At that time, celebrating her birthday with her was just an ordinary celebration in my opinion, but she was so moved that she burst into tears.
I also made an appointment with her to celebrate her birthday together next year and the year after that.”
"Do you often go to Miss Tomomi's room to play?"
After listening to Fujiyoshi Yumi's words, Takagi asked.
"That's right."
Kawase Haruna nodded and asked doubtfully: "But why do you ask this?"
Takagi was about to answer, but his phone suddenly rang. He said "Sorry" and quickly left the store.
"that!"
Kawase Haruna stood up, looked at the three of them and said, "I think Tomomi was definitely not killed because she was resented by others."
"anyone there?"
Just when Tang Ze and others were about to continue asking, two customers came outside the store.
"Sorry, just stop here. I have to start entertaining guests. After all, I'm the only one."
Kawase Haruna bowed slightly and apologized, then trotted off to entertain the guests.
The group of people left immediately, and Takagi also hung up the phone and came over: "Good news, Shiratori and the others, who were responsible for investigating the delivery route of the refrigerated truck, found an abandoned factory nearby.
It has been determined that this abandoned factory was a jeans dyeing factory many years ago.
And this is also the only factory near the refrigerated truck distribution route."
"Synthetic blue dye is used to dye jeans." Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard this and said excitedly: "Without further delay, let's go there quickly."
The four of them didn't stay here any longer and went straight to the abandoned factory.
Because it was completely abandoned, the photos inside the factory were also in disrepair, and people even had to use flashlights to enter it.
"It's such a hot environment, I'm afraid the humidity here will be very high." As soon as he entered the warehouse, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but said as he felt the oncoming heat wave.
"Watch your steps."
Tangze warned: "Footprints and blue dye are all things you need to pay attention to."
Everyone responded one after another, and just after walking a few steps inside, Tang Ze saw some blue on the ground in front of him.
"If you find anything, come here to collect evidence."
Tang Ze shouted and continued to move forward and found footprints, threads and other things.
These may become clues, so forensic investigators have begun to collect evidence.
But everyone soon became numb.
Because there are so many footprints, you can almost hit them with a searchlight after walking a few steps.
"Isn't it an abandoned factory?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki stood up, rubbed his waist, grinned and said, "Why can't I see my head?"
"Many of them are children. They probably use this place as a secret base to play here."
Tang Ze is also helping with the work at this moment: "Don't worry about the children's stuff, just collect the adults' stuff at your leisure."
Tangze moved forward as he spoke, and he soon made other discoveries.
He found fragments of dried contact lenses on the ground, a discovery that excited everyone present.
Because during the autopsy, the deceased was wearing a contact lens in his right eye, but no contact lens was found in his left eye.
The warehouse is the most likely location of the crime scene, and now fragments of contact lenses have been found.
If they are consistent through comparison, then they can locate the location of the crime.
With the help of reinforcements, the group quickly collected evidence from the entire abandoned factory.
The next step is to return to Kesouyan to conduct screening and testing of the collected evidence.
For example, if you collect the most footprints, many of them are duplicates, so you need to input the data into the computer for comparison.
In addition, there are various collected evidences that also need to be investigated.
Even though the scientific search and research were operating at full capacity, it still took a day to sort out the information.
Obviously, it's another big night to stay up.
Of course, Tang Ze also sympathized with their hard work and told them in advance that they could take turns to take two days off after the case was over.
Therefore, the young people under my command are still very motivated.
The next day, Tangze took large and small portions of breakfast and distributed it to his subordinates. After they all finished eating, he held a meeting to collect the investigation results of each part.
From this point, we can also see how heavy their workload was last night. They didn't even have time to summarize, but they could barely complete the inspection work.
After Tangze listened to their reports one by one, he asked them to go home and rest, while he began to sort out and summarize the information.
The first is the synthetic dye collected. After comparing it with the debris attached to the wheel on the suitcase, the composition is basically the same.
Considering the situation at the scene, it is basically certain that the two are the same.
As for the plastic fragments collected by Karasawa, their composition was determined to be contact lenses.
Moreover, it is produced by the same manufacturer as the one in Youmei's eyes, so it is basically certain that it belongs to the deceased.
In addition, there were three small fibers in the collected threads that were made of the same material as the rope used as the murder weapon.
The above evidence is enough to prove that the abandoned factory was the first crime scene of this case.
After the prisoner killed him here, he put him in a suitcase, then placed him in a refrigerated truck and dumped his body.
In addition to the above evidence, there is also the suicide note that Tang Ze confessed. The handwriting has been confirmed to be that of the deceased himself, which means that it is a genuine suicide note.
It was written by herself, but there is no fingerprint of her on the letter paper, which is really strange.
At the same time, the forensic examiner in charge of document appraisal also considered that the suicide note was written when the deceased was threatened, and examined it word for word.
However, the words on the suicide note were written smoothly without any unnecessary pauses, which means that the suicide note was undoubtedly written by Fujiyoshi Yumi from her original wish.
The result of this suicide note identification caused some confusion in Tangze's reasoning.
The deceased wrote a suicide note without any grudge. This was supposed to be suicide.
However, her body was dumped again, which proves that someone else was involved in her death.
Without finding this out clearly, there is really no way to close the case hastily.
In addition, the little red mark at the bottom of the letter paper seems to be the post office number.
The person in charge of document identification suspects that the suicide note was written on an envelope. They are currently working hard to restore it, but it will still take some time.
After summarizing this information, Karasawa sent a copy to Officer Megure.
At the same time, they also received another important news that they investigated.
Early this morning, Sato Miwako and Takagi went to Dongsheng Small Theater to ask questions, and unexpectedly saw Kawase Haruna doing decoration work there.
After all, they are a very small theater and have no support staff at all. Even the actors have to help with the decoration.
When the two of them saw that the knot tied by the other party was the same as the knot on the deceased's neck, it was a mouth-shaped knot.
In other words, Kawase Haruna has serious suspicions, and the police have now launched an investigation into Kawase Haruna.
As for Tangze, there was no big reaction after receiving the news, and he just waited for the results of the investigation.
Moreover, he also has things he wants to verify.
Karasawa asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki to lead people to prepare dummies and ropes, intending to simulate the murder of the deceased.
"I have to stand on the stairs and tighten the rope to form the same angle as the scar on the deceased's neck."
After standing on the stairs and gesturing at the neck of the dummy, Koshimizu Nanatsuki came down from the ladder, took out a meter stick and said: "The height of this dummy is the same as that of the deceased. I went up several flights of stairs.
I measured and found that the gap must be at least 42 centimeters to cause such strangulation marks when the deceased was standing.
This is too outrageous. Fujiyoshi Tomomi is 167cm tall, which is considered tall among girls.
42 centimeters is even two meters, there should be no such person around her."
Having said this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki touched his chin, put the dummy down and said, "Senior, do you think it is possible that the deceased was killed while lying down?
For example, if there are two prisoners, one sits on the deceased's legs and holds down his hands and feet, and the other stands and strangles him, they should be able to create such diagonally upward strangulation marks, right?"
"There is indeed a way to cause the same strangulation marks, but not this time."
After listening to Koshimi Nanatsuki's words, Karasawa shook his head and said: "If this is really the case you said, although the Yoshikawa line on the deceased's neck that resisted has been explained, other problems have arisen.
That is, during the autopsy, there were no other injuries on the body of the deceased.
The abandoned factory at the scene of the crime had a hard cement floor. If the hands and feet of the deceased were held down hard, there would be scratches or internal bleeding on the hands and feet of the deceased.
But there are no such wounds on the body, which means this method is not feasible."
"That would be strange."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki removed the rope from the dummy's neck, took the rope and threw it towards Karasawa: "Is it possible that the prisoner stood at a high place and put it around the neck of the deceased to commit the crime?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Tang Ze rolled his eyes and grabbed the rope casually: "That place is just an open space, and some of the waste is not stable. It's okay to just stand on it. Isn't it because strangulation is because he didn't fall fast enough?"
As he spoke, Tang Ze reached out to pull the rope, intending to put it around the dummy's neck again and reconsider the problem.
But Koshimi Nanatsuki didn't react at all, and when Karasawa pulled him, he subconsciously pulled the rope towards him.
And the next moment something unexpected happened.
The two ropes that were supposed to be strong and tied with a mouth-shaped knot were actually torn apart.
Seeing the situation in front of them, both of them were stunned.
Because of the mouth knot, they had also used it on camping trips and so on. They knew it was a very strong knot, but they didn't expect it to be pulled apart at all.
Karasawa immediately took two ropes and tied them again, and then asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki to hold the A rope, while he held the second rope tied to the knot, which was the B rope.
After pulling the B rope hard, the loop of the A rope used for hanging was immediately pulled apart.
"No wonder there is a second rope."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly realized when he saw this: "It turns out that rope B is tied to the knot of rope A in order to be able to untie the open knot!"
"This is a safety device."
Tangze nodded and said: "Hanging yourself requires rope A, but even if you regret it when hanging, you can still pull rope B hard and untie rope A around your neck."
"In other words, something went wrong and Tomomi Tokichi died?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki pondered.
"The specific truth is still unclear, but our rope-tying method was copied from the murder weapon, which means there is no problem with the safety measures."
Tangze said: "But at least we don't have to worry about suicide and homicide in the evidence.
Because obviously the two are not opposites, but rather intertwined."
"Then the person who tied this knot must know the details of this murder."
Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "At present, it seems that Kawase Haruna is the biggest suspect."
"People's subconscious behavior can reflect many problems, and knotting can also reflect a person's habits."
Tangze said: "The knot of rope B is to first put the left rope on the literal side, then turn the left rope up, and then tie the knot.
Then the left side of the first knot goes down, and the left side of the second knot goes up.
Tell Takagi and the others what we discovered about the situation, and ask them to investigate Kawase Haruna, and we will go to the deceased’s house again to see the deceased’s knotting techniques.”
"clear."
Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded and took out the phone.
The two drove all the way to Fujiyoshi Tomomi's home, found the newspapers tied up by the other party, and then carefully dismantled them bit by bit.
