Overall, this trip to Tianwang Mountain made Tangze slightly disappointed.
He even felt like it was a slightly higher park.
But that’s just the way it is with travel, there can’t always be places that make you feel good, and there are also places that will dash your expectations or be completely different from what you imagined.
But in fact, there is no need to be so disappointed. What matters is who is with you to enjoy the scenery.
Oh, you don't have a girlfriend...
That's okay. If you should be disappointed, just be disappointed. It's normal.
Generally speaking, Tianwang Mountain is a good place to take a leisurely stroll around. If you really want to go hiking, I would suggest not coming here.
The two of them walked around and soon arrived near the top of the mountain.
It feels like climbing a mountain when you get here. The artificial traces are not that serious and the steps are relatively old, but many of them are still not too steep.
Soon the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain, from where they could see the city below. They found a free place to lay down their mats, and then took out snacks and drinks to camp out.
Soon, after chatting for a while, the two of them took out the books they had brought with them from their backpacks and started reading leisurely back to back.
When traveling, hurry up and go to more places. Although it is indeed more cost-effective for people who rarely travel, it actually loses some of the original fun of traveling.
Spending time leisurely like this is also a kind of enjoyment of traveling.
Of course, this is only because the two of them have enough time to have such confidence. If it is rare to go out, it will be really a loss if they don't go to a few places.
The two of them played here until about three o'clock and then returned to Kyoto. Then they went to "Gion" to hang out and check out the shops to see if there was anything they wanted to eat.
The entire "Gion" street architecture is in traditional Japanese style, and you can even feel like you have returned to ancient times when you are there.
After finishing dinner and taking photos of Ayako, Karasawa ended his trip early and returned to the hotel.
After all, it is a leisurely trip, so there is no need to rush there or anything like that. Spending a day or two to get to a place is enough, there is no need to rush.
Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine was the destination of the two of them on the second day. Inari is the god of agriculture and commerce, and is one of the most popular shrines in the Kyoto area.
The most distinctive features here are the various stone statues of foxes and the hundreds of torii gates on the road leading to the top of the mountain.
On weekdays, there were not many people coming to the shrine, so the two of them just strolled around the shrine slowly and leisurely.
Neither of them thought about visiting many places during this trip to Kyoto. This trip was more about relaxing the mind, allowing the whole person to relax and eliminate the negative emotions in life, and then let people better face life.
.
Well, for Karasawa, it may be time to welcome a new case...
On the first night after returning to work in Tokyo, the "God of Death" seemed to be dissatisfied with Karasawa's laziness, so he directly took a life, forcing Karasawa, who had just finished dinner halfway, to work overtime to rush to the scene of the crime.
Arriving at the crime scene, Tangze parked the car, took out his white gloves and put them on while letting the crowd of spectators disperse and walk inside.
The crime scene was under the bridge, and the body was lying on the ground, looking peaceful as if he was asleep.
Seeing Karasawa's arrival, Takagi immediately stepped forward and introduced the circumstances of the case.
The reporter was a middle-aged woman who lived nearby and came to walk her dog after dinner.
Because her pet dog kept barking in this direction, she discovered the man lying on the ground under the leadership of the dog.
At first, she thought the office worker was drunk.
But when he went to call out, he found that the other party had completely lost his voice, so he was so frightened that he quickly called the police.
As for the identity of the messenger, it has also been found out through the driver's license.
Toshio Takegawa, forty-five years old, is an extremely ordinary office worker.
At this moment, Aso Minoru, wearing a white coat, was squatting next to the corpse and inspecting the condition of the corpse.
"There were no obvious external injuries, and there were no signs of poisoning on the outside. It is initially inferred that he died suddenly while walking by the river."
After seeing Karasawa, Aso Minoru expressed his judgment, "Judging from the rigor mortis and body spots on the body, the time of death should be more than two hours."
Tang Ze nodded when he heard this, but he didn't have much hope for the possibility of an accident.
Although there were no obvious external injuries on the body, and no traces of poisoning were observed, there were many cases of people dying of illness due to various reasons.
But in this world, the possibility of someone's death not being a homicide is too small, let alone contacting myself...
Although saying this feels a bit like self-defeating, but in contact with myself, in a sense, it is ironclad evidence of a murder case...
There is no way, no matter Tang Ze wants to admit it or not, he is also a man "favored by the God of Death"...
"It's half past eight, which means the body died at six or seven."
Karasawa calculated the time, then looked at Aso Minoru and asked: "Is it currently possible that he committed suicide?"
"It's hard to tell yet, but it's possible that he was poisoned."
Aso took a look at Takegawa Toshio's body and said: "Nothing more can be seen on the surface. The specific details will only be determined after an autopsy and blood investigation, but..."
"But what?"
Karasawa looked at Aso Minoru's hesitant look and smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Do you need to worry about our relationship?"
"Then I'll tell you straight."
Aso Minoru turned Takegawa Toshio's body over from lying on his back to lying on his side.
Then he reached out and took off the clothes on Takegawa Toshio's back, revealing his back: "Different causes of death will also cause the corpse to show different colors of spots. I think you should be aware of this, Karasawa Criminal Investigation.
Look at the spots on the corpse, they are now dark purple."
Karasawa looked at the back of the corpse and found dark purple circular marks of irregular size appearing on the new skin, which looked like bruises.
"I remember that when people died of suffocation, they would often see the color of corpse spots..." Although Karasawa is not as experienced as Aso in forensic medicine, he still understands some basic theoretical knowledge.
Moreover, he has seen corpses that died in various ways, so he has rich experience.
"Yes, but the specific cause of death still needs to be analyzed."
Aso Minori stood up and said: "Take the body back to the anatomy room of Kesouyan. I will examine it carefully."
"I'll be ready with you." Tang Ze stood up and gestured to the side. Immediately, two uniformed patrolmen came over and carried the body to a car specially designed to transport corpses.
"Take my car."
Karasawa took off his gloves and spoke to Aso Minoru, then spoke to Officer Megure, and drove towards the "Kosouyan".
Tang Ze was also very concerned about this body whose specific cause of death was unknown at the moment.
And because the scene was under a bridge, the environment was a bit too dark, so he also needed a place with sufficient light to examine the body carefully.
As for using the super sense of smell, it is indeed possible, but the environment on site is too spacious.
Moreover, there should be many young people gathering here under the bridge, with graffiti and spray-painting everywhere.
Not only that, there are a lot of vegetation and a lot of messy domestic garbage around, and the smell is too much, which can easily affect Tangze's judgment and make him spend more energy.
Therefore, in summary, it is best to call "Kesouyan" for detailed testing.
Of course, there is no need to mention the process of rushing. Soon everyone returned to the "Kesouyan" and transported the body to the brand new autopsy room.
The previous institute did not have these. They abolished some unnecessary departments and transformed them into forensic department workshops. Naturally, the instruments were all brand new.
In the autopsy room, Toshio Takegawa, a middle-aged man, was lying naked on the autopsy table. There was nothing strange on everyone's faces. The faces looking at the corpse were full of knowledge and seriousness.
Here, no one cares about those things, all they have to do is find the real reason for the death of the deceased.
"You should check it before dissecting it."
Aso realized that he was now fully armed, standing in front of the corpse with a scalpel in his hand, looked at Karasawa and said.
"Well, wait a moment." Tang Ze stood on the other side of the dissecting table, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
An indescribable smell entered his nasal cavity, causing Tang Ze to frown. It was not the first time he used his sense of smell to check the condition of a corpse, but it still made him feel very uncomfortable.
But he soon suppressed this strangeness, and his brain began to work crazily, analyzing the various smells entering his nasal cavity.
The breath of life was eliminated one by one, and soon he opened his eyes and focused on the two parts of the body.
Karasawa first found the tool box with tools nearby, and then took out a brand new, unopened comb from it.
"This is a brand new comb that has not been opened. Everyone present please be witnesses."
As he spoke, Karasawa opened the packaging bag. Wearing disposable gloves, he held a comb and combed the deceased's hair.
"The surface of the scalp is covered with hair, and it is difficult for our naked eyes to distinguish it. If the smell hadn't been different, I would have missed it."
Tangze explained his actions while combing the deceased's hair.
Soon, he picked up his finger and shone it under the light, and a hair on your head grew.
"Did you find anything?" Seeing Karasawa's actions, Aso Minoru and the assistants around him cast inquiring glances.
"It's female hair."
Tangze said, holding his hair and walking towards the forensics officer aside. The other person took out an evidence bag from the tool box with a wink, and cooperated with Tangze to put the hair in it.
"Detailed tests will be carried out later." Tang Ze smiled: "The equipment responsible for the physical evidence examination is ready, and it is time to officially put it to use."
"This has reduced our workload a lot." The young forensic examiner on the side smiled and agreed.
"This is also the purpose of the establishment of Kesouyan."
Tang Ze replied, then took out a pair of tweezers from the tool box, and then lifted the five fingernails of the deceased's right hand: "Come here, take a photo first, this is very important evidence."
Upon hearing this, the young forensic examiner quickly approached, then picked up the camera hanging around his neck and followed Karasawa's instructions to take some close-ups of the nails on the right hand of the corpse.
Afterwards, Tangze picked up the tweezers and picked out some dander-like items from between his fingernails and put them into the evidence bag.
"We can start the autopsy." Tang Ze handed the two evidence bags to the forensic personnel beside him and asked him to send them to the "Evidence Examination Section" for detailed inspection.
After hearing Karasawa's words, Aso Minoru started working with a scalpel in hand, but Karasawa quickly exited the room and waited patiently for the results outside.
It's better to leave these professional matters to professionals. Even if Tang Ze knows some knowledge, he has no hands-on experience in practical operations.
After leaving the room, Tang Ze returned to the office to brew a cup of coffee, and then waited patiently.
Tonight is destined to be a long night, at least until the body is examined and it is officially determined whether it was homicide or death from illness, it is impossible for them to return to rest.
As time passed and a cup of coffee was almost finished, there was a knock on the door.
"Thank you for your hard work. I made coffee. Would you like a cup?"
After opening the door and seeing Aso Minoru, Karasawa stood up and took a cup to pour a cup of coffee. Then he sat on the sofa and handed it to Aso Minoru on the sofa opposite the coffee table: "How is the condition of the body?"
"There is no bleeding in the brain, there is no heart disease, and there is no obstruction in the respiratory tract." Aso took a sip of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief: "No abnormalities were found."
"Where is the blood? Are there any signs of poisoning?" Tang Ze asked.
"Yes, there is no toxic reaction in the blood test." Asano replied.
"Then the cause of death was...?" Tang Ze frowned upon hearing this.
What the hell is this?
These common situations have been excluded, so how did the other party die?
"The corpse showed signs of acidemia, and there was also a loss of amino acids."
Speaking of this, Aso's eyes flashed with confusion in his eyes: "There is only one reason that can cause this... death from suffocation..."
"Death by suffocation..."
After hearing Aso Minoru's final conclusion, Karasawa frowned.
He would not doubt Aso and the autopsy results of the forensic assistants, but he was indeed a little unprepared for the results.
Not jealous, just a little caught off guard.
Even Aso Honesty had mentioned before that the signs of corpse spots might be death from suffocation, but that was only one of the possibilities.
But he really didn't expect that he would actually suffocate to death.
Murder!
The moment Tang Ze heard this conclusion, he directly determined the nature of this case.
It is definitely murder, there is no other possibility!
You have to know how the open conditions at the scene can cause people to suffocate to death?
Nonsense, it's simply impossible.
Therefore, there is only one outcome that Karasawa can think of at this moment, and that is that someone moved Toshio Takegawa after killing him!
This chapter has been completed!
