Seeing Granny Hetian's look of disdain, as if looking at a moth, Takagi also had a dark look on his face.
"That's really not the case."
Looking at Takagi's wry smile, Karasawa smiled and explained helpfully: "I have indeed been transferred to the "Science Search and Research" job. I came here today to deliver black tea to my former colleagues."
"So that's what it is."
After hearing Tang Ze's words, Grandma Hetian once again turned into a bright smile: "That's really fate. I came here today, and I happened to meet you today. This is also a kind of fate. God has destined Tang Ze to be a criminal.
You want to solve this case!"
"Grandma Hetian, don't do this..."
Seeing Grandma Hetian's expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book, Takagi could only smile politely and awkwardly to ease his inner collapse.
"It's okay, I'll just help with the investigation." Tangze stretched out his hand to stop Takagi and agreed with a smile.
Looking at the "old fritter"-like old woman in front of him, Tang Ze didn't feel disgusted, but instead felt a trace of admiration.
Karasawa also heard the conversation between her and Takagi just now. The relationship between the other party and the deceased seemed to be just the tenant and the apartment manager.
But after the other party's death, the Hetian mother-in-law continued to stalk him, hoping that the criminals could investigate the case to the bottom of the matter.
From this point of view, the other party is indeed worthy of respect.
And since the other party has done enough homework to investigate herself and hopes that she will take action, Tang Ze doesn't mind accompanying her to investigate the case.
After all, counting the time, a murder case really should occur, Tang Ze was quite confident about this.
Moreover, the other party has approached Takagi. Although they don't know it themselves, once it is involved in a case, even if it seems impossible at the moment, it will become a case after in-depth investigation.
No way, although some people are unable to solve the case, they are born with "case triggers".
"Oh, I knew that Tang Ze's criminal must be different from those bad criminals. He is a good criminal who is really willing to help us!" After hearing Tang Ze's promise, Granny Hetian showed a bright smile on her wrinkled face.
"But if the result is the same this time, Granny Hetian, please don't come over to cause trouble again."
Seeing the happy Granny Hetian, Takagi on the side couldn't help but vaccinate the other party in advance, lest the other party would not accept the reality and get entangled with Tang Ze if the result was not satisfactory.
"I know!"
After hearing Takagi's words, Granny Hetian's face changed slightly and then she said with an appraisal: "I asked people in the apartment about you. Young people say that you are the "contemporary Sherlock Holmes." If you also judge this case to be a suicide, then
I also choose to accept it!”
"These compliments are a bit exaggerated, but I will try my best."
After hearing Granny Hetian's words, Tang Ze couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He immediately changed the subject and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk."
"Then I'll go collect criminal evidence for Karasawa." Hearing that Karasawa was indeed planning to accept the case, Takagi breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to take over the errand work.
After asking the front desk to issue a temporary pass to Granny Hetian, Tangze led her to his desk.
Not long after, Takagi also obtained physical evidence from the forensics class.
"Is this the only one?" Looking at the paper in the evidence bag, Tang Ze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. As expected, it turned out to be a suicide note.
"Because there's really nothing suspicious..."
While handing the suicide note to Tang Zhe, Takagi explained: "We have already checked it, and this is an ordinary suicide note.
The handwriting identification is also consistent with other words written by the other party during his lifetime, proving that it was written by him.
No matter which way you look at it, this case..."
"This is absolutely impossible!!" Hearing Takagi's words, Granny Hetian slapped the table and said angrily: "That night I met Saki at the gate. At that time, she greeted me with a smile on her face.
I couldn't hide my excitement.
I asked Zaoji if something good had happened, and she smiled and nodded like a child.
This is the first time I saw Zaoji with such a happy smile."
Grandma Hetian, who was full of gentle smiles when she mentioned her early years, looked at Takagi with a serious look on her face: "It is absolutely impossible for him to commit suicide!
That child...was killed!!"
"You can't tell anything just from a suicide note." Tang Ze stood up and said: "As the saying goes, "The scene is repeated a hundred times." Let's go to the crime scene and have a look."
“Professionals are different!”
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Granny Hetian stood up quickly, yelled at Takagi again, and then looked at Tang Ze and said, "It's not too late, let's leave quickly. I deliberately kept the room as it is!"
"I'm determined."
Tang Ze smiled and nodded when he heard this, and drove the two of them to the apartment where the crime scene was located.
Even though Granny He Tian is very "shrewish" when looking for trouble, the other party is actually a rich man.
The apartment of the other party is not particularly high-end, but the apartment as a whole is very high-end. The other party has no leisure time, so he works as an apartment manager, and he also takes care of the children here.
After getting off the car, Granny Heda touched the head of her grandson who was playing football against the wall in front of the apartment door, told him not to run around, and then led the two of them into the room where Miss Saki Iimori lived.
After entering the deceased's room, the Western style was immediately noticeable. After entering the room, Tang Ze began to explore the surrounding situation.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Seeing Tang Ze looking through the other party's account book after walking around the room, Grandma Hetian couldn't help but ask aloud.
But under the expectant gaze of the other party, Tang Ze shook his head slightly: "So far, there are no signs of external invasion, and everything around is normal.
The room is closed, and the smell is well retained. I don’t smell the different smells left by other people entering the room except the other person..."
"Let me tell you, it was really just suicide." Takagi couldn't help but said: "Miss Iimori was the only one in the room at that time, so it was impossible for others to drink poison.
The liquid with "poison" written on it could only have been drunk by Ms. Iimori herself. In this case, anyone who saw it would think it was suicide."
"is that so?"
Because she knew Karasawa from the young people in the apartment, Granny Heda also knew that in addition to his great reasoning skills, Karasawa also had a very strong sense of smell. There was even a nickname like "The Demon King's Smell" spread from the prison.
When she first wanted to find him, she wanted to use his ability to see if she could find some clues that ordinary people couldn't find.
But now the other party told her that there were no signs of outsiders entering or leaving the house.
The result can only be the kind of ending Takagi said.
"I'm obviously so happy...why is it at night..."
Grandma Hetian sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly and couldn't help sighing, obviously she had given up.
"Have you investigated Miss Saki Iimori's daily interpersonal relationships?"
Karasawa jumped to conclusions easily, but instead took a fancy to Takagi who was standing aside and asked about his interpersonal relationships.
"Miss Iimori's hometown is not here, so she lives alone."
Although Takagi didn't know why Karasawa Criminal was still asking these questions when he had basically reached a conclusion, he still answered truthfully: "She is currently working at the university as a professor's assistant."
"Oh? Is that so?" Tang Ze nodded, thoughtfully.
"Are there any other discoveries?" Seeing Tang Ze still continuing to investigate, Granny Hetian said excitedly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
"No, as of now, there is nothing that can prove that it was homicide. It's just that there are a few details that I can't figure out."
Tangze shook his head slightly, then looked at Granny Heda and said, "Do you know if Ms. Iimori has anyone to date?"
"No, I have never seen it, and I have never heard her mention it." Grandma Hetian shook her head when she heard this.
"Is that so?"
Karasawa nodded when he heard this and said: "I have finished the investigation here. Next, I plan to go to the place where Miss Iimori works and ask people who know Miss Iimori to see if anything has happened around her recently."
"Really? That's up to you!" Granny Hetian nodded with gratitude when she heard that Tang Ze was still willing to investigate.
After the two asked each other about the university where they worked, they drove to their destination. Looking at Karasawa driving in the car, Takagi couldn't help but ask: "Karasawa Criminal, did you really find anything?"
"You don't think I'm trying to comfort Grandma Hetian, do you?" Tangze heard what Officer Takagi meant and smiled: "If that's the case, I will tell her directly and make her give up."
"In other words, Tang Ze Criminal, did you really find something wrong?" Takagi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"At the moment, we can only say that there are some things that have not yet been explained, but it does not mean that they are definitely related to the case."
Tang Ze shook his head and said: "How to look at it specifically depends on what kind of information can be obtained from the subsequent investigation."
Soon, Karasawa told Takagi what he found at Saki Iimori's house, which boosted the other's fighting spirit.
Although it is true, as Karasawa Criminal said, it is just some unsolved doubts that seem to have nothing to do with the case, but as long as there are doubts, no matter how subtle, they must be investigated to be at ease.
The two of them went all the way to Yoneka Aomori University where Iimori Saki worked. After showing their identities to the guard and asking about Iimori Saki's situation, they followed the other party's instructions and went to the office in the teaching building.
The first target they visited this time was Professor Iimori Saki's immediate superior, Professor Hiroaki Busada.
After asking questions all the way to the other party's office, the two knocked on the door and entered the other party's office with an invitation to "come in."
After entering the room, Karasawa unexpectedly found that the office was very large, but most of it was filled with all kinds of professional knowledge. Only a desk and a tea set on a cabinet were considered personal items.
It can be seen that the other party is really talented and learned. Many of the books look like they have been looked through and worn out. There are two books on the table with notes mixed with them, which seem to have recorded something.
There is only one person in the office, and obviously this middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties is Professor Hiroaki Buta.
However, although he is old, he is very good-looking. He looks like a handsome middle-aged scholar, and he is full of intellectual feeling.
After the three of them briefly introduced themselves, the other party invited them to sit down on the sofa.
"You two are here for Iimori Saaki's case, right?" After sitting down, Professor Hiroaki Busada went straight to the topic.
"Yes, we have something to ask Professor Buta about Miss Iimori."
Takagi smiled and said politely: "She is your assistant, right? You are the one who comes into contact with the most every day, so..."
"I killed him." Before Takagi could finish his words, Hiroaki Buta interrupted Takagi's words: "I should have noticed it earlier..."
Before the two people present could react to this unexpected turn of surprise, Hiroaki Buta stood up and brought a teapot and several cups, then opened the tea box and started brewing black tea.
"I used to do academic research, but since I became a lecturer, I have a lot of worries. I am often asked for autographs, and I don't pay much attention to her."
While his hands were busy, Hiroaki Buta sighed and said: "But, she is an outstanding student I brought out, so I think she should be fine.
I really... regret it..."
"But, this shouldn't be your fault, Professor..." After hearing Hiroaki Buta's words, Takagi comforted him and said, "Don't you think so?"
"But I am just her boss." Hiroaki Buta looked at the two of them with solemn expressions: "I am also a psychologist. Even from this point of view, it is my disqualification."
"This..." Seeing that Takagi couldn't answer the question, the air was silent for a while.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the search has ended." Hiroaki Buta poured the black tea into the cup and said, "Now that the two criminals are here, have you discovered anything else?"
"No, no, that's the situation."
Hearing this, Takagi waved his hands repeatedly: "Someone kept saying, 'That child will never commit suicide,' and urged us to conduct another investigation."
"well…"
Hiroaki Buta couldn't help but sigh after hearing Takagi's words: "I actually want to convince myself this way, but this idea actually makes no sense."
"Eh? It doesn't make sense?" Takagi asked in shock, "Why do you say that?"
"Human beings are inherently complex creatures."
Hiroaki Buta explained: "No matter who it is, there will be several different faces, and then they will unconsciously change and use them according to the other person or the situation.
In terms of simple type theory and characteristic theory, no matter how close the relationship between the two parties is, we cannot fully understand a person."
Although there was no clear expression, the other party's words had already expressed his attitude towards this matter.
