Early the next morning,
After Tangze went to work, he found Sihuayuan and informed him that the new book was almost complete.
Let the other party choose the right time to announce the news to maximize the publicity effect.
After the day passed peacefully, just as Tangze was about to get off work on Thursday night and he thought he could spend another peaceful day, the case came as scheduled.
When he drove to the scene, the familiar figure in front of him made Tangze feel no emotion at all.
Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Conan, who works 24/7, seem to be the ones who ran away when they encountered a case while playing together on the way home after school.
However, when he saw another woman with short blond hair next to the three of them, Tang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
Meeting Judy again showed that this case may have some little information about the red and black sides mixed in.
The little information in this kind of case is a valuable puzzle piece for Conan, but it is not something worth paying attention to for Karasawa.
After seeing the other party, he just said hello with a smile, and then began to examine the scene carefully.
Let Conan play with the little information revealed by the other party in the case. He only needs to pay attention to the case.
After questioning the confessions of Yuanzi and others, the general situation of the case has been understood.
Conan and the other three met Teacher Judy after school.
Because there seemed to be perverts harassing students recently, Judy wanted to find two people to ask about the situation, so she brought three people to the mall here to have a drink and talk.
While they were talking, the lights in the mall suddenly dimmed, and then they heard a commotion outside.
When I ran out and took a look, I found the deceased leaning against the protective wall at the entrance of the escalator, clutching his chest and dying.
The name of the deceased was Nakajo Katsuzawa, 43 years old, and the president of a detective agency.
As for the cause of death, it was very simple. He was stabbed in the stomach and died.
Considering that the crime scene was in a place with a large flow of people, such as a shopping mall, and the testimony of Yuanzi and others that there had been a power outage before, it can be inferred that the criminal committed the murder during the short period of time when the power was out.
And in the file bag held by the deceased with both hands on his chest, there was a set of strange death messages that the other party tried his best to leave pointing to the prisoner before he died——!
After investigating the mobile phone on the deceased, forensic officers found that the last phone call made by the deceased was 30 minutes ago.
And that time happened to be the moment when the case happened!!
Yes, you heard it right, it took Tang Ze and others 30 minutes to arrive at the crime scene.
This is not only due to the long distance, but also because of the traffic jam on the road...
Half an hour was either long or short. After hearing the report from the forensic department staff, Tang Ze took the cell phone directly and made the last call to the deceased through the evidence bag.
But when the call was dialed, a phone ring suddenly rang among the crowd watching.
"Ring ring ring!!!"
Hearing the harsh ringtone, Tang Ze and others unconsciously looked towards the ring, and then saw a middle-aged man with a high hairline taking out his mobile phone in a panic.
"Ah, wait…"
Looking at the cell phone that kept ringing, the man quickly pressed the close button and then breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he raised his head, he found that the criminals on the side had already arrived beside him.
"It seems that you, sir, made the call to the deceased thirty minutes ago."
Tangze's words instantly made the man in front of him panic, and he quickly wanted to deny it, "No...I..."
"I'm sorry." Tang Ze didn't have the patience to accompany the other person's inner struggle, and directly grabbed the other person's wrist and pointed the phone screen towards him.
Sure enough, it was the name of the deceased displayed above.
"Ah, I remembered my brother-in-law!" Yuanzi seemed to suddenly remember something when he saw the mobile phone. "At that time, he was on the phone next to us, saying something like offering four times the price and asking the other party to come over and pay.
…”
"Ho? This is a very dangerous statement..." Tang Ze stared at the other party sharply, "Sir, don't you want to explain something?"
"I know! I said! I'll just tell you everything!"
Facing the criminals who were all around him, the man who couldn't resist the pressure quickly begged for mercy.
According to the other party's self-introduction, his name is Laisheng Feijiu, the company is on the 8th to 10th floors of this building, and he is the general affairs director of this company.
The reason why he got in touch with the other party was because his company discovered last month that an employee had embezzled public funds, so the superiors asked him to order him to find this guy who embezzled public funds before the president knew about it.
Naturally, he was not a professional investigator and did not have the ability to investigate, so he hired a detective to investigate.
This is actually quite common in Neon. The daily business of many detectives is actually not murder cases, but this kind of commercial investigation. There are some gray areas involved in finding mistresses.
But it was obvious that the detective he found was unreliable and had no professional ethics. After finding the prisoner, he directly chose to raise the price.
What Conan and the others heard at that time was the conversation between him and the detective, saying that the other party was willing to pay double the price. If he was not willing to pay a higher price, then he would sell the information to the other party.
Hence the words that Conan and the others heard at the coffee shop.
However, the other party never came at the agreed time. Later, when he was looking for the other party, he was attracted by the crowd of onlookers and found out that Nakajo Katsawa was dead. It was at this time that the phone suddenly rang and he was discovered.
"So, the file bag held in the deceased's arms contains that information?" Takagi heard this and speculated: "Now that the information in the file bag is gone, it means that the prisoner is obviously targeting this information.
If you come, then the person who embezzles public funds is a criminal."
Tang Ze nodded when he heard this, and immediately looked at Lai Sheng Suijiu and said: "So, Mr. Lai Sheng, I wonder if Mr. Nakajo has investigated and reported anything to you before this?"
"Ah, there are some!"
Afterlife Prisoner Jiu Wenyan quickly took out a list from the file bag in his hand, "A week ago, Detective Nakajo provided me with a list of suspicious employees."
As a result, there was a densely packed list of personnel. Takagi took one look at it and immediately had a headache and said: "Hey, this is no joke. If you want to investigate so many names one by one, it will be a big project!"
"There are fifty-eight prisoners in total."
Looking at the list, Tangze quickly calculated the number of people.
After hearing Takagi's words, Tang Ze smiled at him and said: "Indeed, it is too troublesome to investigate so many people one by one.
But as long as the "death message" left by Mr. Nakajo is unlocked, everything will be solved."
This chapter has been completed!
