Little by little, clear images were reflected in Tangze's pupils and transmitted to his rapidly rotating brain.
At this moment, Karasawa saw Yoneno Takaaki's fleeting expression and understood his psychological changes at this moment.
His pupils contracted and turned downward, his mouth opened slightly but silently, and then his eyes raised to look at Tang Ze.
"I want to do laundry."
Yoneno Takaaki looked at the criminal with sharp eyes, unaware that his expression at that moment was completely seen through by the other party, and he told the lie he told in that short moment.
"I originally wanted to wash clothes inside, so I put my suitcase at the door first."
After Yoneno Takaaki finished compiling the lie, he regained his composure: "After putting the suitcase at the door, I returned to the room. After all, I hadn't been back for so long, and I had to talk to my wife when I entered the house.
But after entering the bedroom, I didn't see my wife, and the TV and lights were not turned off.
I searched all the other rooms, but I didn’t see her there, so I went back to the bathroom.”
"But do you really have dirty clothes in your suitcase?"
Karasawa looked at Yoneno Takaaki who looked confused and said: "After all, you have been on a business trip for more than a month, so you will naturally use the hotel's cleaning service to clean your clothes, right?
Just out of caution, after taking out your wife's body, I opened your suitcase and checked it, but no dirty clothes were found."
"How could there be such a person?" Yoneno Takaaki smoothed his hair and said impatiently: "Although I am very unhappy with such a rude person like you, I still tell you.
Because I have a mysophobia, if I travel, the hotel cleaning is barely acceptable, but if I get home, I cannot accept these clothes just put back in the closet.
So when I got home, I planned to wash all the clothes again with clean water.
I wonder if you are satisfied with this explanation?"
"So that's it, then everything makes sense."
Karasawa showed a look of surprise, and immediately looked at Yoneno Takaaki with an apology: "Sorry, paying too much attention to details is my bad habit, especially if there is anything that doesn't make sense, I will explore it further.
At the same time, I also apologize to you for my presumptuous behavior."
"If nothing happens, please go back." Yoneno Takaaki looked coldly: "Don't disturb me anymore, I need to be quiet now."
Still with a smile on his face, Karasawa walked out of Yoneno Takaaki's house to Takagi's house.
"How? Did you find anything?"
As soon as he walked in, Miwako Sato and others who were waiting in the room looked at Karasawa and asked about him.
"There may be some, but these are information that cannot even be considered as circumstantial evidence."
Tangze informed everyone of his discovery and the story of setting a trap for the opponent. After Takagi and others learned about it, they all frowned and looked solemn.
"This is really troublesome."
Miwako Sato clasped her arms and muttered: "The deceased died while Yoneno Takaaki was on a business trip, and in that way.
Moreover, the reason why she was killed was because she was too fat and broke the toilet when she sat down, and she was alone at home, so no one could save her, causing her to starve to death.
No matter how you look at it, this is more of an accident than a murder."
"Yes, but some of Yoneno Takaaki's performances also indicate that this may be a well-thought-out murder."
Tang Ze looked serious: "This may even be a murder that is closest to a perfect crime."
If it hadn't been for him, a person who believed in "Ke Xue", this case would never have caused any trouble, and I'm afraid it would have ended unexpectedly soon.
But he will not be easily deceived. Even if this case is more troublesome than imagined, he will definitely let the truth come out!
The party ended soon after Tang Ze came back.
Sato Miwako and others went home respectively, but Aso Minoru asked Karasawa to send Shimabukuro Kimie home, while he took a taxi and headed towards Kosouyan.
Tonight, he was destined to stay up late. He had to finish the autopsy report overnight so that he could lie down and wait for others to investigate the case the next day.
With his thoughts on his mind, Tangze spent the night, and early the next morning, after having breakfast, he set out for the "Kesouyan".
When they arrived at the door, they saw Takagi and Sato Miwako planning to go to the forensic department. The three of them got the autopsy report left by Aso Minoru and came to Karasawa's office.
"Sure enough, the direct cause of death was starvation."
After checking the cause of death column in the autopsy report, Miwako Sato shook her head and showed pity: "It's really pitiful. This feeling is not pleasant."
"Generally speaking, if you are an adult, you can survive as long as you have water. It can last about three weeks."
Tang Ze said to the two of them: "But because everyone's physique and physique are different, there are some errors.
But it is common sense that obese people can live longer because they have more body fat.
It’s just that in her place, there is water only in the toilet tank at the back.”
"But with her size, I'm afraid she can't reach the water in the pool behind..." Takagi thought of the other person's physique, and after gesturing, he felt that there wasn't much possibility.
If the other party could drink water, perhaps today's murder would not have happened.
Don't be like this, she is stuck there because she is too fat.
If she keeps drinking water and not eating, her physique will drop rapidly due to fat consumption, which is enough for her to get out of trouble.
Unfortunately, if there is no way to replenish water, then there is only a dead end.
After all, people cannot live without water. Three days is the limit for a person to survive without water.
"The toilet seat report has also been appraised in the Forensic Class."
Sato Miwako turned to the next page, looked at the evidence analysis results and said: "It is judged that the toilet seat was broken due to excessive pressure."
"After all, he weighs that much..."
Takagi thought of the scene of carrying the body downstairs last night, and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead: "If you sit down accidentally, it's not hard to imagine that you won't be able to bear the weight and break..."
"It's just that the toilet seat didn't break all at once." Miwako Sato looked at the information and frowned: "The identification results show that it broke after many times of constant heavy pressure, causing the cracks to become deeper and deeper."
"I see. If that's the case, it's possible that the toilet seat was deliberately cut with tiny slits from the beginning."
After hearing the information, Tang Ze touched his chin and said: "This is like a timing device, and the introduction of immortals is just the initial crack.
After that, as long as Yoneno Takaaki's wife kept sitting on it, the toilet seat would crack little by little."
"But is it really possible?" Takagi looked hesitant: "With this..."
"You mean it's a bit stupid way?" Tang Ze laughed and said: "Indeed, this killing method sounds very stupid and funny.
But if it is placed on a specific person, it will be fatal!"
The other party calculated everything and let the deceased jump into the trap. No matter how funny and absurd the performance was, it even made people feel a little stupid.
But a prisoner who can do this is definitely very thoughtful and a tough guy.
"Tangze Criminal, you said last night that you suspected it was homicide, but where should we start?"
After reading the autopsy report and the identification report of the evidence, Takagi couldn't help but ask: "The current situation is that even if we know that he has something evil in his heart, there is no way to prove it.
It’s not that we don’t believe your observation, Tang Ze Criminal, but if there is no indirect evidence, we may not even be able to open a case for investigation.”
"What you said makes sense, so I plan to check the other party's call records."
Tang Ze looked at the two people who were a little confused and explained: "According to my reasoning, the possibility of the other party using the phone to commit crimes is very high."
"Then I'll go investigate."
Takagi immediately stood up after hearing this, but was stopped by Tang Ze: "Wait a minute, I'll just go investigate on the other side of the phone. There's an important task for you here, and it belongs to you."
"Important task?" Takagi heard the words and said with a smile: "You put it like that, I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Before that, let me ask you how your relationship is with Yoneno Takaaki." Karasawa asked.
"It's not bad. Because we are neighbors, I have helped him a few times." Takagi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yoneno likes cooking, and occasionally gives me some."
"Yes, that's good news."
Karasawa knew that Takagi, a good old man, must have a good relationship with his neighbors. In this way, the subsequent development would obviously be smoother.
He looked at Takagi and said: "I need you to contact the other party as a neighbor and get as much information as possible.
No matter what, just summarize the chat information and tell me.
Didn't Sato-san make some dishes yesterday, so just take some as you like."
"Is this a case of surrendering to someone else?" Takagi smiled guiltily, earning a death stare from Sato Miwako, "Why do you have any suggestions for my cooking?"
"No, no, I will definitely bring the food to Mr. Yoneno to taste." Takagi laughed guiltily, "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."
Then Takagi got up and ran away, calling Miwako Sato's eyes.
"What about me, what do I want to do?" Miwako Sato looked at Karasawa and asked.
"Investigate Yoneno Takaaki's working environment." Karasawa said: "Check his interpersonal relationships."
"Do you suspect that he is having an extramarital affair?" Sato Miwako understood what Karasawa meant, "I know, let's go check it out."
The three of them divided their work and got busy. In the evening, the three people who worked separately came to the funeral of Mrs. Yoneno.
Yes, after completing the practical report, it was determined that the cause of death was still an accident, so the body was quickly returned to Yoneno Takaaki.
At this moment, the three of them were all wearing black formal suits and came to attend the funeral of Mrs. Yoneno.
Because the funeral has not officially started yet, Karasawa and the three are exchanging information, and Takagi is currently reporting on his exchanges with Yoneno Takaaki during the day.
According to Takagi, when he invited the other party to his home for a meal, he also guided him with a few words based on Karasawa's consciousness.
According to what the other party said, his wife and he were classmates in college. She was very thin and beautiful when she was young, and was even called the "Madonna" of the school.
"People have really changed a lot." Miwako Sato, who is also a woman, touched her waist and said, "It seems that keeping in shape is very important."
"But he also said that he was very happy serving his wife, and that he felt happy only if he said that." Takagi said, "About this, I don't know if it's a lie or the truth."
"How do you say this?" Tang Ze asked: "Have you learned any other news?"
"He does all the daily housework, whether it's cleaning or cooking." Takagi sighed: "I heard from him that it has been like this from the time we got married to now.
His wife is at home every day, and to put it bluntly, she is completely supported by him.
I think this is true.”
"Why? Isn't it possible that he is pretending to be a good gentleman?" Miwako Sato asked at the side.
"Because his cooking skills are really good." Takagi said, showing a hint of embarrassment: "I went to call him to eat, but he actually made the food for me.
And your soup, after eating it, he said it was a very good idea and even improved it for you.
I tasted it, and it tasted much better than before, and I just added some pepper..."
"It seems that as he said, he is in charge of everything at home."
Sato Miwako was a little surprised when she heard this: "But in this case, wouldn't there be resentment?
After all, he is the only one who gives, while his wife only knows how to take. Can such a relationship really last long?"
"I also asked him why he didn't get divorced since things were like this. He said it was because he loved his wife very much. They had been in love since college, and changing his body shape did not affect his love." Takagi said after hearing this.
"Hmph, a man's mouth is such a liar." Sato Miwako said disdainfully: "I love his wife very much, but he has an extramarital affair with a female researcher in the same laboratory?
This guy is definitely a murderer, he has a great motive for killing for his lover!"
"If that's the case, I think he can just get a divorce."
After hearing the information from the two of them, Tang Ze said: "To put it bluntly, his wife was completely turned into a useless person by him.
And his reputation in the institute is also good, and it doesn't seem like he has any leverage in his wife's hands.
If he hates her, no one will say anything even if she gets divorced. After all, what he has done is enough to put him on the high ground, and no one will say anything to him even if she gets divorced.
There is no need to do such a thing as murder."
"That's really strange." Takagi nodded and said, "If this is the case, I don't think he had any motive to kill."
"The funeral is about to begin. Let's ask questions after it's over."
Tangze looked at the guests entering the mourning hall, and walked towards the house with Takagi, found a corner and sat down, waiting for the funeral to end.
The person in the photo is what she looked like when she was young. The monk was knocking the wooden fish in front of the coffin while chanting sutras for salvation.
This is the last farewell between the living and the dead.
