"Teacher Shenlin, please be patient."
Faced with Professor Shenlin's stubbornness, Tang Ze stretched out his hand to push down the other person's arm, "In this case, you can tell us the location of the accident first, and we will take people to the scene to investigate.
Our search must also follow procedures. We cannot convict you just based on your words, otherwise we will be derelict in our duties.
We also ask for your understanding and cooperation with our work.”
"I know, let's do it."
Hearing Karasawa's words, Professor Shenlin nodded with understanding and said: "The location is on the mountainous road from Mihua Town to Kitayama. I remember that I bumped into someone at the corner. You will know when you go there."
"Then please wait patiently in the office."
After Karasawa asked Uye Naoki to accompany Professor Kambayashi to the office, he took Takagi, Saito Hiroshi and others towards the accident site.
The Kitayama of Yoneka Town mentioned by the other party is the mountainous road outside Tokyo.
Because the scenery on the top of the mountain is good, people living in the city often take their families to hike when it is inconvenient to travel too far during their daily holidays.
It is considered a place near Tokyo city that is more suitable for driving and dating.
Of course, there are some residents nearby, but they are very few, and they are basically villas owned by wealthy people.
Tangze and his party drove up the mountain, and on the third lap, they found traces of the accident.
However, although the accident scene was discovered, no matter how hard Karasawa and others searched, they could not find any trace of the victim.
"It's weird."
After surveying the surrounding area, Takagi and others returned again. They shook their heads at Tangze and said, "No injured or dead bodies were found on the mountain."
"Do you think you have been sent to the hospital?" Chiba gasped a little because of his size.
"I have asked Sato Criminal to contact the emergency hospital in the city before."
Tangze shook his head and said, "I just got a call from Sato Criminal, saying that none of the patients sent to the emergency rooms of various hospitals last night met the conditions."
"Where's the fire station?" Chiba asked.
"Yesterday was calm and there were no calls to 119 due to traffic accidents." Tang Ze continued to shake his head.
"Then you think it's because you were hit by a car, but you didn't think it was a big deal, so you stood up and went back." Takagi guessed.
"It's unlikely." Tang Ze shook his head and said, "Judging from the damage to the car alone, the other party's injuries were not minor.
No matter how you look at it, there is no way you can walk on your own in that situation."
Tang Ze looked down at the tire marks on the ground and found that the blood stain was relatively in the middle.
This also shows that after hitting the person, the driver should have been stunned for a moment. The car continued to move forward for a while before the driver realized and stepped on the brakes in a panic.
"Do you want to go back now?"
Seeing that there was nothing gained for the time being, Takagi scratched his head and said.
"Let's go back first. At least verify whether the debris collected at the scene is consistent with the accident car."
After Hiroshi Saito collected the evidence, Karasawa returned to the underground garage of the Metropolitan Police Department with the fragments of car lights collected at the crime scene.
After splicing the fragments, the collected fragments were perfectly spliced together with the damaged headlights on the car.
"The traces match. It seems that an accident did occur." Hiroshi Saito said after comparison.
"So there was an accident, but no victim could be found?" Tangze rubbed his chin and pondered, and finally took the elevator to the office.
"General!"
"Teacher Shenlin, I told you that this is not how Othello is played!"
As soon as he arrived at the office, Karasawa saw a crazy Naoki Kamei pointing at the chessboard and saying: "Teacher, Reversi is not Shogi!"
"Then how about playing here!" After hearing Naoki Kamei's words, Professor Kambayashi picked up his own white stone and placed it in an empty corner of the chessboard.
"No, I told you, teacher, not to go down there, but to attack from a flank!"
"Then get down here!"
"It won't work there either!"
Naoki Ueijing was speechless when he heard this and raised his forehead: "Teacher, why are you suddenly so confused..."
"Ah... when I get older, I will suddenly forget a lot of things." Professor Shenlin scratched his head when he heard this and said a little confused.
"Senior, you are back, how are you doing?"
After hearing the movement at the gate and seeing Karasawa, Naoki Kamei ran over as if he had seen a savior.
"Senior, senior, I have something to say!"
Uye Naoki did not continue to ask about the investigation, but first took Tangze to a corner, took a peek at Professor Shenlin sitting far away, and then whispered: "Senior... Teacher Shenlin, he... seems
A little confused...
Although it is rude to say this, I am wondering if there is something wrong with his mind..."
"I see."
Tangze nodded after hearing this, then walked towards Professor Shenlin and said, "Teacher, we have found the location of the accident, but we have not found the victim."
"How is this possible? You should search carefully!" After hearing Tangze's report, Professor Shenlin looked very angry: "Did you not search carefully!?"
"No, we have investigated all channels." Tang Ze shook his head and said: "But so far, the other party seems to have disappeared."
"Then what should we do now!" Professor Shenlin lost his temper like a child: "You can just arrest me!"
"We also have to follow the procedures." Tang Ze reassured: "In this case, could you please tell me, teacher, what happened during the accident?"
"It must have been during the time last night or early this morning. The surroundings were extremely dark, and there was no other light except my car lights."
Professor Shenlin recalled: "But when I turned a corner, I suddenly saw a red patch in front of my eyes, and then I felt like I had hit something. I panicked and quickly stepped on the brakes...
Then at that moment I realized that I had hit someone.
But because he was too scared, he didn't even choose to get out of the car to check the situation, so he drove away.
To this day, the red clothes he wore are still lingering in front of my eyes."
"Suddenly a figure appeared, and then you quickly stepped on the brakes, is that true?" Tangze heard this and confirmed to Professor Shenlin: "Is that true?"
"kindness..."
But after Professor Shenlin nodded, Tang Ze's expression became serious: "The situation you mentioned is somewhat different from what we observed at the accident site.
Also, why did you choose to go to that place in the middle of the night?"
"this..."
Professor Shenlin looked a little lonely when he heard Tang Ze's rhetorical question. He slowly sat on the sofa and said lonelyly: "Actually, it may be because I am getting older, and my memory is getting worse.
Especially recently, I suddenly feel like I can't remember things...
Sometimes I don’t know why I do something. For example, I often can’t remember when I ate. If I go out for something urgent, I’ll forget what I’m going to do next..."
"I understand, please rest here well."
Tang Ze exchanged glances with everyone, leaving each other in the office while the group walked towards the door.
"Senior...teacher, he must have Alzheimer's disease..."
As soon as he went out, Naoki Kamei looked a little sad: "Obviously he was such a strict and meticulous teacher, but he turned out to be like this in his later years..."
"People with this kind of personality will behave like this once they step back to the front line." Chiba sighed with emotion: "After being busy for a lifetime, and suddenly having nothing to do, it will indeed make people's spirits decline rapidly.
I'm afraid I really have Alzheimer's disease..."
"Anyway, let's sort out the situation of our respective investigations first."
Karasawa took out his cell phone that just rang and shook it: "Saito's side has already checked the physical evidence that needs to be examined."
Everyone turned to the conference room next to it, where they discussed cases daily. Tang Ze pulled the whiteboard and began to organize the report.
The first was the black hair collected by Hiroshi Saito from the car. After examination, it was determined that this hard hair, which was 7 centimeters long and 0.11 millimeters in diameter, belonged to a man.
In addition, after calculating the melanin content, it is inferred that he should be a man in his thirties to forties.
The second is the traces left on the mountain ring road.
The accident occurred at the corner from the second circle to the third circle of the mountainous road.
The skid marks left at the scene were three meters long, and from this it can be inferred that the speed at the time of impact should have been around 35 kilometers.
In addition, blood collected through the car window can only be confirmed to be type O blood.
Although it doesn't have much effect now, at least if you find a qualified candidate, you can determine whether the other person is a victim through DNA identification.
"These are the two pieces of information that Saito analyzed after combining the scene." Tangze looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"This speed may not seem obvious, but in fact it is very dangerous if you hit someone." Takagi scratched his head when he heard this and said: "Combined with the damage on the car, it stands to reason that the victim's injuries must be serious."
"Then the possibility of leaving the scene of the accident is slim." Chiba said with some distress after hearing this: "Where did the victim go... It's like he disappeared mysteriously."
"Based on the time period from 12 o'clock last night to 1 o'clock this morning, and the fact that the other party was walking when the accident occurred, the victim's residence should be within a radius of 2 kilometers from the accident scene."
Sato Miwako analyzed it calmly based on the existing intelligence.
"However, there are only 4 private houses and 10 villas near Beishan. We contacted the residents and the owners of the villas one by one to confirm, and they all said that we found nothing unusual."
Takagi opened his mouth to tell the results of the investigation. After everyone lost their direction again, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Could it be because of work or something?" Miwako Sato thought it was unlikely after she finished speaking, and immediately shook her head: "No, there is no qualified job nearby..."
After hearing what Miwako Sato said, Karasawa was thoughtful, and then looked at Naoki Ueui: "Have you found out the basic situation of Teacher Kambayashi?"
"My lover passed away half a year ago, and I have been living alone since then."
Naoki Ueijing said: "I found this out from the teacher at school. Besides, the teacher doesn't seem to have anyone close to him..."
"This is such a headache..." Chiba looked at the darkening night outside the window: "If the victim cannot be found, there is no way to detain him.
But because he surrendered, we cannot just let him go..."
"Before the case is over, we have to find someone to act as a guarantor for the time being." Only then did Tang Ze realize that what needed to be dealt with most at the moment was actually this matter, and he frowned when he heard this.
As Karasawa finished speaking, everyone on the side looked at Uye Naoki in unison.
"Eh? Me?"
Naoki Kamei pointed at himself, with a confused look on his face, and immediately waved his hands wildly: "No, I will be the guarantor or something..."
"But you have the closest relationship with the other person, right?" Chiba patted Uye Naoki on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Besides, I'm still single. What's the point of letting my former teacher stay at home for one night?" Takagi agreed while giving him a critical blow.
"But I can't do it on my own, I have to have someone with me!" Seeing that he couldn't shirk Uye Naoki, he had to actively change his strategy: "Teacher Shenlin is a suspect after all, and I can't be alone with the suspect. This is against the rules.
."
Following Uye Naoki's words, the remaining three people looked at Chiba in unison.
"What, me?" Chiba said dissatisfied: "Why me!?"
"I want to go back and stay with Ayako."
"The two of us are going on a date today." Takagi glanced at Sato Miwako shyly, and then whispered: "He went directly to my house tonight..."
If game records were used to express Chiba's mood at the moment, it would be something like the following.
"Chiba" tried to mount a resistance.
The "Chiba" encountered a dog food attack from the "Karasawa".
"Chiba" was attacked by "Takagi" and "Sato" using combined techniques, and was destroyed immediately after receiving a critical hit!
Under the joint attack of Karasawa and the others, Chiba, a single who had just participated in a party some time ago, was severely beaten again.
As a result, Chiba and Naoki Kamei looked at each other and finally had to accept this reality.
After some persuasion, Teacher Shenlin finally agreed to temporarily stay at Naoki Uye's home until they could find out the case.
But Chiba and Uye Naoki had no idea that this night would be so devastating.
So when the two of them came to work the next day, they both had dark circles under their eyes and looked listless, which made Takagi feel sad.
"What's wrong with you two?"
Takagi carefully brought a cup of coffee to the two of them: "What happened last night?"
"Takagi-senpai... do you know the pain of coaxing a child?" Hearing this, Uye Naoki said something with drooping fish eyes that left Takagi confused.
The next moment, Chiba told everyone the answer with a look of sadness and anger.
Last night, Teacher Shenlin became confused as if he had lost his memory. He tormented the two of them like a giant baby all night, and they did not sleep well at all.
