Night is the time to go home.
After a busy day, family is a warm haven that soothes people's tired hearts after a tiring day.
Hiroaki Buta was no exception. He drove back home from school after a busy day.
"I'm back."
After opening the door, Hiroaki Buta greeted his wife at home as usual.
But after a while, there was no response from his wife in the room, and he did not see her coming to the entrance to greet him.
Although Hiroaki Buta felt a little strange, he still changed his shoes and walked into the house.
But the next moment, when he looked at the two pairs of shoes placed at the door of the entrance, Hiroaki Buta's expression instantly turned ugly.
Of course, this is not because I think of any weird plot, but simply because I think of two people.
Sure enough, after a while, the smiling wife and the two men walked out of the living room together.
"Sorry, sorry, I was entertaining guests just now."
The wife apologized to Hiroaki Buta with a smile, and took the bag from the other person's hand with a smile.
"you are back."
"excuse me."
Karasawa and Takagi bowed slightly towards Buta Hiroaki and greeted each other one after another.
"Unknowingly, I have disturbed you for a long time, so we will take our leave first." Tangze bowed slightly towards Mrs. Buta: "Sorry for disturbing you."
"Ah, are you leaving now?" Mrs. Buta seemed to be chatting happily with the two of them, and was still a little reluctant to leave, but she opened the door without stopping.
After Karasawa and Takagi put on their shoes, they bowed slightly to Hiroaki Buta, who had a somewhat unsightly look on his face, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Buta with a smile and left.
After the two left, the smile on Mrs. Buta's face gradually faded and became cold and stern. She closed the door and walked straight into the house, ignoring Hiroaki Buta at the entrance.
Hiroaki Buta's face was extremely gloomy, but after changing his shoes and walking into the living room, he suppressed his anger and walked to his wife who was putting away the tea set and said calmly: "What did they both ask?"
"Things about Iimori's early childhood."
Mrs. Buta kept moving her hands, but her eyebrows were extremely cold and stern. It was obvious that after the conversation with Tang Ze, she knew something and she was very angry at the moment.
"Then what did you say?" Hiroaki Buta couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"A lot." Mrs. Buta brought the tea set to the kitchen and boiled water to wash it while saying, "I also asked if you would be home late on Tuesday and Thursday."
"you…"
"I'm telling you the truth, you will be back late on Tuesday and Thursday because of the seminar study."
Mrs. Buta interrupted Hiroaki Buta with a cold face. She took a deep breath and looked at her husband and asked, "Can't you?"
"How could it not work?" Hiroaki Buta looked at his wife who walked over to put away the tea set again. His eyebrows were filled with gloom, but his tone was extremely calm: "It's just the truth."
"Ah, is that so?" Mrs. Buta said coldly while cleaning the coffee table, "That's good."
"They are just two guys making random guesses without any basis, so people are everywhere, do you understand?" Hiroaki Buta comforted his wife in a broad voice while helping his wife put away the tea sets.
"Can I believe you..." Mrs. Buta looked forward, her face full of grievances.
"Of course." Upon seeing this, Hiroaki Buta quickly took his wife into his arms and comforted her in a calm voice.
But where his wife couldn't see him, his expression was ferocious and twisted.
……..
Early the next morning, Hiroaki Buta drove to school. When he walked to the gate of the teaching building with his bag in hand, the situation in front of him couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Professor Hiroaki Buta's evening study seminar? I've never heard of it."
The two young students shook their heads, then said goodbye to Tang Ze and walked towards the teaching building.
"Karasawa Criminal, it turns out that no one knows about this." After asking, Takagi looked at Karasawa with a somewhat excited expression, as if he was happy that he had found the other party's flaw.
"That's a matter of course, because there are no study sessions at all."
The next moment, a familiar male voice came from behind, causing Takagi's words to stop abruptly, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
When the two of them heard the sound and turned around, they found Hiroaki Buta standing behind them. Takagi seemed to have been caught speaking ill of someone, and smiled guiltily, "Professor Buta..."
"Then may I ask why the professor said that?"
Compared with Takagi's guilty conscience, Tangze was much calmer. He looked at the other party calmly without any guilt and asked: "Can you explain it?"
"I lied to deceive my wife."
When Buta Hiroaki said this, he looked at the two of them and waved his hands: "But this does not mean that Iimori and I have an "illicit relationship." I just made this move simply because I wanted to have some time to myself.
It's embarrassing to say that when people reach middle age, they are like machines. They don't have any private time at all. When they go home, they have to face the nagging of their wives.
Although I do love my wife very much, I also want to have my own time to read books, think about some issues, listen to music to relax, and occasionally go for a drive.
This is my precious private time as a middle-aged man, and it is indispensable and precious time for me."
Speaking of this, Hiroaki Buta looked at the two of them and said: "If you two still don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. These rumors always spread very quickly in the university, which will bring me a lot of unhappiness."
Necessary trouble."
"Sorry, we were too rash." Tang Ze and the others bowed slightly and apologized after hearing this.
"Also, please don't come to my house. My wife is very sensitive."
Hiroaki Buta said coldly: "I understand that you are eager to investigate the case, but what you two did is a bit contrary to common sense."
After Hiroaki Buta finished speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the two people and walked towards the teaching building again.
"Professor, please wait a moment!"
Tangze walked up to the other party and asked politely: "Excuse me, professor, what did you do last night during that precious time that is indispensable for middle-aged men?
I remember yesterday was Thursday, maybe, and you came home quite early unexpectedly."
After hearing Tang Ze's words, Buta Hiroaki frowned and looked at Tang Ze and said, "I know you two are actually doubting me..."
"No, no, how could it be..."
Takagi heard the other party's straightforward words and quickly waved his hands to deny it, but was interrupted by Hiroaki Buta: "No need to be polite. Don't forget that I am a psychologist."
"Yes, we are indeed doubting you, Professor."
Hearing Hiroaki Buta's words, Karasawa smiled calmly and said: "After all, according to our current investigation, only Professor Buta and Miss Iimori have a close relationship."
"But she drank the poison by herself. She clearly knew that it was highly poisonous. What do you think of this as suicide?" After Hiroaki Buta finished speaking, he walked straight to the teaching building in front, obviously not wanting to talk about this anymore.
Topic.
Obviously, coupled with the unauthorized visit to the other party's home last night and the investigation of the other party in the morning, both parties were completely torn apart.
And this also made Karasawa have no worries. He followed Hiroaki Buta as if inviting him to an afternoon tea party and said with a smile: "I think if Professor comes back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us, I think it should be
It can solve some problems.
"I refuse, I don't have time to drink tea with you." Hiroaki Buta said coldly: "Karasawa Criminal, the reasoning game ends here.
If you really suspect that I am the murderer, then please take a look at the evidence. Didn't you also say during the lecture that there is no "perfect crime"? There must be a flaw in some link.
Then please find the flaw and show it to me!
If you find it, I will go with you whether it is the Metropolitan Police Department or anywhere."
After Hiroaki Buta finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and left quickly.
But this time, Karasawa and Takagi didn't catch up.
What he just said was unkind, and it also meant that the "face" maintained between the two parties was completely torn apart.
If you continue to pester me now, you will be wrong.
Of course, Tang Ze was not too worried about the "falling out" between the two parties.
Before, we were still investigating and testing, so we naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship, but now
It's no longer necessary.
The confrontation between the two sides was entirely based on words and psychology.
At the beginning, Tang Ze had the upper hand and tested the opponent's suspicions.
But as Tang Ze continues to test, when the other party sees that it can't be concealed, don't choose to "break up" directly.
In the conversation just now, after the other party knew that the two of them suspected him, he had no intention of continuing to hide it, and he told the two of them straightforwardly that he would wait until they found the evidence.
This attitude is no different from admitting that he is a murderer, but it is still troublesome.
Knowing that he is under criminal suspicion, but still saying this arrogantly, he is either stupid or confident not to be caught.
And Hiroaki Buta is obviously not a fool. He can say such words, so he must be fully prepared to deal with the search.
And this is indeed the case. When Karasawa and the others returned to the room for the second time to get Iimori Saki's notepad, they checked the room again, but still found nothing suspicious.
This is also the source of the other party's confidence. He is confident that nothing he does will leave evidence.
This is a difficult opponent, and he is even sure that his own methods can achieve the perfect crime.
"What should we do now?"
Takagi looked at Hiroaki Buta who was walking away with a worried look on his face: "We have clearly identified the suspect, but we can't produce any evidence. We don't even know how the other party poisoned Iimori Saaki..."
"We have encountered a difficult opponent..."
Karasawa frowned and returned to the car with Takagi, and the two of them sat quietly in the car and meditated.
The most critical point now is how Hiroaki Buta managed to poison without external intrusion?
But the bottle of poison on the bedside table has been marked with the word "violent poison". How did Hiroaki Buta get Saki Iimori to take the poison willingly?
Tangze felt vaguely that he seemed to have overlooked something, which was the key to unlocking this technique...
Without any further hesitation, Tangze took out a [Xingshen Cigarette] and lit it.
When the smoke entered the lungs and circulated, and then exhaled, Tang Ze's brain, which was already running at high speed, began to speed up again.
Memories began to emerge in his mind one by one, and every conversation between the two parties after they met was like a movie, playing back in Tang Ze's memory palace.
The scene soon switched to the scene where he and Officer Takagi went to the classroom to listen to Hiroaki Buta's lecture.
"This observational learning is the "entity sense expression method"..."
"Children will imitate the old-fashioned words of adults..."
When these two sentences seemed useless and the lecture content flashed through Tang Ze's mind, he suddenly realized something.
"I see... Is it an imitation..."
Tangze murmured softly from the car.
"Eh? What?" Hearing Tang Ze's vague words in a low voice, Takagi couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Did you say something, Tang Ze Criminal?"
"I already know how Hiroaki Buta poisoned him."
Tangze took another puff of cigarette, and his brain continued to work.
Following this "flaw", Tangze's brain began to work at a rapid speed, and he quickly deduced the whole case.
On the surface, it seems that Iimori died after drinking the poison on the bedside table, but in fact, he may not have drank the bottle of poison at all, and it was just a cover-up to deceive the search.
Hiroaki Buta used another method to get Hayaki Iimori to take poison!
And this technique is "imitation".
In class, Hiroaki Buta once said that children will imitate behavior.
After listening to what their parents say, they often say some words that are old-fashioned and inappropriate for their age.
Even if adults no longer have such unconscious imitation behavior, it does not mean that they have lost this instinct.
When you meet a real person or someone you admire, you will subconsciously imitate them and want to get closer to them.
For example, if your favorite celebrity likes to wear white, then you will prefer white clothes when choosing clothes.
For example, if your celebrity likes to drink a glass of milk after dinner, you may also develop this habit.
This is imitation. When you admire a person, you will unconsciously imitate his hobbies or living habits.
Hiroaki Buta once said that he was addicted to black tea. He drank Darjeeling every morning and Assam with milk at night. He couldn't even sleep if he didn't drink it.
It is possible that Iimori Saki developed the same habit as Buta Hiroaki, drinking a cup of black tea every night before going to bed.
If Iimori's early habits were used to imitate him, everything would be much simpler.
Karasawa speculated that Hiroaki Buta probably told Iimori Saki that night that he wanted to divorce his wife and marry her.
Then, using some excuse like a little fun, he used the small bottle containing the poison as a sleeping pill or some other health medicine, and handed it to Iimori Saki along with a note of apology from the other party, which was a "suicide note".
Iimori Hayaki, who had already fallen into joy, probably never thought that her sweetheart wanted to kill her, so she took the bottle containing the poison and the apology note without any suspicion.
Then step by step, he fell into the opponent's death trap!
