After making an appointment with Naoki Kamei at the meeting place, Karasawa hung up the phone.
He picked up the bookmark on the table and put away the page where the mystery novel was interrupted for further reading.
Then he picked up the black tea cup at hand and drank the brewed Darjeeling black tea in one gulp.
The red color is slightly bitter in the mouth, but after a while, there is a fresh aroma and a little sweetness. This familiar taste still makes people feel comfortable no matter how long it lasts.
But at this moment, he was tasting the familiar taste, but felt that he was tasting something different.
He naturally knew that it was a psychological effect, because he thought of that troublesome man.
He cleaned the cups and put them away, then walked out of the office and drove to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up Naoki Uye at the door, and the two of them walked towards the prison.
Arriving at this prison in Tokyo again, Karasawa found that the prison guards around him looked at him with much respect.
"Senior, it seems that your reputation has spread here." Naoki Uyei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that even a relatively closed place like a prison would have the legend of your senior spread."
"You're wrong." The young prison guard leading the way laughed and said, "Although our area is relatively closed, news about Tang Ze's crime spread very quickly in the prison.
After all, there will be a prisoner caught by Tang Ze Criminal and thrown in every once in a while. Update the information on Tang Ze Criminal, although at most it will only update the information on the number of prisoners arrested by Tang Ze."
"Then how did you learn about the news that happened in Gunma County so quickly?" Naoki Uyei asked curiously.
"What you are saying is that we are not prisoners." The young prison guard smiled and said, "We are all part of the same system."
"Look at my brain." Naoki Kamei patted his forehead and forgot about it.
The chat between the two basically ended in nonsense, and during this chat the three of them had already arrived at the meeting hall.
After that, the two of them came to the glass window, and the young prison guard walked towards the prison. After a while, he took Hiroaki Buta to the other side of the glass window and sat down.
"We meet again." Hiroaki Buta looked at Tang Ze opposite and said with a smile, "It's really not easy to meet a busy guy like you."
"Now that you know it, stop talking nonsense."
Tang Ze said with a cold face: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. If you called me here just for a small talk, then this will be the last time we meet."
"Of course not." Hiroaki Buta chuckled, and said the irritating words with a calm face: "I'm here to cause trouble for you."
On the side, Naoki Kamei immediately felt angry when he heard this, but because Karasawa had told him in advance that he could not speak no matter what the other party said, he could only look at the other party and glare.
"Stop showing off boring tricks."
But compared to Uye Naoki, Karasawa's face remained calm and showed no signs of disturbance. He knew that if he was angered by the other party's provocation, he would play into the opponent's hands.
"Since you asked me to come over, you and I both know who has the initiative. Let's get to the point." Tang Ze replied in a neither soft nor forceful manner, but it hit his weak spot.
After all, it was the other party who called me here on his own initiative, and now he still has to put on a show of pretense. Isn't it just "his cousin stands up in a memorial arch"?
"To the point, I'm talking about the point."
Hiroaki Buta seemed not to understand the meaning of Karasawa's words and said: "I have a difficult case here that I want you to deal with, but I just want to cause trouble for you."
"Case?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows: "What did you talk about last time?"
"That's right, Haruko Beigami, this is the person I want you to arrest." Hiroaki Buta looked at Tang Ze and said, "Her crime is murder.
If it were you, there should be a possibility of catching her."
"You mean this woman killed someone?" Naoki Uyei couldn't help but asked.
"Yes, she was a student at my university. That case was also a mysterious case that happened at Yoneka Aomori University." Hiroaki Buta said: "It was a professor who was killed, a poisoning case."
"You said the prisoner was this woman?" Naoki Uyei couldn't help but ask, "But you also said this was a sect mystery case, right?"
"Yes, so there is no evidence." Hiroaki Buta looked at Tang Ze and smiled: "That's why I said it was to cause trouble for you."
"What you are saying is just a refutation." Uekai Naoki heard this and felt it was ridiculous: "Since you also said it was a Zong mystery case, it means that the police at the time did not find out the truth.
If that's the case, how did you know she was the prisoner?"
"Of course I know."
Hiroaki Buta smiled very strangely: "Because she has the same smell as me.
No, she had the same smell as me now."
What Buta Hiroaki said was awkward, but Karasawa understood it.
In the past, Hiroaki Buta was only in a "semi-transformed" state at most, but the woman named Haruko Kitagami he met at that time already exuded the same smell as the "murderer" he has become now.
Once a "human" met a "murderer", and now he has become the same kind of person as the other person.
This is pretty much what Hiroaki Buta wants to express.
"You want to say that she also smells like murder?" After hearing the other party's "metaphysical" words, Tang Ze showed no anger at being teased, and continued to ask with a calm expression.
"That's right." Hiroaki Buta said with a maniacal smile: "That is the scent of a murderer, a dirty smell that penetrates into the bones and will not disappear."
"Other than that?" Tang Ze continued to ask: "Since you are from the same university, there must be something substantial, right?"
"Of course, there are no suspects after a case occurs."
Hiroaki Buta looked sarcastic and said: "As a friend and psychology professor of the deceased, I naturally also talked with Haruko Hogami, so I can't be wrong that it must be her.
I even questioned her, and although she was able to talk her off with her words, her expression admitted all of this, and she was absolutely unmistakable!"
"But, this is all just your imagination, right?" Uekai Naoki questioned: "There is still no substantial evidence."
"When I was being tried, she came to listen."
Hiroaki Buta seemed to recall the previous scene, and the smile on his face became more and more crazy: "I saw her, she smiled and said something to me in spoken language - "You have become the same person as me.
"."
After Hiroaki Buta finished speaking, he looked at the two people and said, "That's the situation. This is the only substantive clue.
Of course, it’s up to you to believe it or not.”
"I know, I will investigate." Tang Ze nodded and said, "Although you did not provide the information out of good intentions, I still express my gratitude."
"Then my reward is not high, just let me know when the results come out."
Looking at Karasawa who stood up to leave, Hiroaki Buta leaned on the glass and shouted, but in the end he only saw the back of Karasawa leaving and did not get a definite reply.
"Get up, No. 1004!"
Seeing the police officer Karasawa leaving, Hiroaki Buta was urged by the young police officer to stand up and return to his cell.
"So Mr. Detective, how will the showdown between you and that woman end?"
Hiroaki Buta held his hands on the steel cage with a playful smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to the good show.
On the other side, after the two got into the car, Naoki Kamei fastened his seat belt and asked: "Senior, do you really believe what Hiroaki Buta said?"
"Whether you believe it or not, just check it out, but there is a high probability that it is true."
As Karasawa drove back to the Metropolitan Police Department, he said: "He is not such a boring guy, and the kind of pranks that can be revealed immediately have no meaning to him.
Didn't you listen to what Hiroaki Buta said, what he wants is to cause trouble for me."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "In that case, what could be more troublesome for me than a troublesome "murderer".
What's more, it is still an unsolved case that has been unresolved for a long time."
"Hmm..." Naoki Kamei nodded suddenly after hearing this, but then he thought worriedly: "But if it is true, doesn't it mean that the woman named Haruko Kitami is very troublesome?"
"I'm afraid this is also the purpose of Hiroaki Buta."
Tang Ze stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, but his tone remained calm: "He was caught himself but released his nature, always wanting to have some fun.
And that woman became his source of fun, and I was his other source of fun.
Especially since the two of us are inherently opposed to each other, he naturally doesn't want to miss this big show.
And no matter which side of us wins, it won’t be bad for him, right?”
If he couldn't catch the culprit, Hiroaki Buta would naturally be happy to see him defeated, and if he caught Haruko Hokami, the guy who might be the murderer, he wouldn't lose.
After all, when he comes in, the other person is still outside enjoying the beautiful world. How can this make people happy?
I don't like others and want to drag them down.
Such evil thoughts can happen anywhere, and they are even more vividly displayed in Hiroaki Buta.
The other party did not hide his thoughts, but this time Tang Ze really wanted to act according to the other party's plan.
This is a conspiracy, aimed at him, so that he will make the same choice even if he knows the opponent's intentions this round.
But Tangze didn't care, because the information he provided was indeed useful.
All the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department, the two began to investigate the case information that Buta Hiroaki mentioned.
The first is the deceased. After investigating the case about Yoneka Aomori University, they found the case that happened two years ago.
The name of the deceased was Yuji Maruyama, a professor at the Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the cause of his death was consistent with what Hiroaki Buta said.
At the same time, the "murderous" lady the other party mentioned also obtained information through her driver's license.
The other party was studying at Yoneka Aomori University and is currently a graduate student.
The two also obtained the file of this case, which recorded the details of the incident and the investigation process.
The first discoverer at that time was Yuji Maruyama’s assistant.
When the other party came to Maruyama Yuji's office early in the morning, he found Maruyama Yuji lying on the table.
Originally, he just thought that Professor Maruyama was asleep, so he went to call him, but no matter how he called, there was no sound, so he realized that something was wrong and quickly checked the other person's physical signs.
Unfortunately, Maruyama Yuji has long since disappeared.
There was no safe place in the house, the body showed no signs of injury, and no abnormalities were found after the initial autopsy.
However, because we were in such a working environment where we could come into contact with drugs anytime and anywhere, the police conducted a drug test on the body just to be on the safe side.
After examination, it was found that poison remained in the other party's body. The poison was composed of atropine, which is mainly a toxin contained in the Solanaceae family.
This is a poison that is easily obtained from university hospitals, so it can be said to be very common.
The investigation is also conducted from two aspects: suicide and homicide.
But in terms of suicide, the police at the time did not find any special cause of suicide, nor did they find a suicide note.
So the police began investigating the murder.
Based on Professor Maruyama Yuji's habits, they speculated that the prisoner might have taken advantage of the professor's frequent nutritional supplements and perhaps put poison into the capsules.
The reason for this speculation is that they did not find the injection needle in the issue, nor did they check the ingredients of sleeping pills on his body.
This shows that Professor Maruyama took the poison himself, rather than being forcibly injected or knocked unconscious and forced to take the poison.
And this is the only way to put deadly poison into the opponent's body.
That's why this case will be investigated as a poisoning case.
However, although the police at the time investigated people related to the professor, they did not find any valuable clues.
Almost everyone could doubt the situation at that time.
Moreover, it is not troublesome to make poisonous capsules, and it is not very difficult to secretly put them into Professor Maruyama's medicine cabinet.
We also investigated whether anyone had any personal grudges against Professor Maruyama, but we did not get any conclusive information, and ultimately the case was left unsolved.
"That's the general situation." After Naoki Ueijing followed Karasawa to sort out the ins and outs of the case, he couldn't help but said with a headache: "This guy really gave us a difficult problem!"
"If it wasn't a difficult problem, he wouldn't have said it." Tang Ze recorded the information in the back of his mind and replied while putting the file away.
"Then we should notify Officer Megure and let's search together?" Naoki Ueijing suggested: "After all, there is strength in numbers."
"If there is no case, that's no problem. Let's go to the office and explain the situation to everyone."
Tangze is not a rigid person. Even if the evidence is insufficient and unconvincing, as long as he explains the situation and draws attention to it, it will be no problem to reopen the investigation.
With so many people helping him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to fight alone.
But when the two returned to the office, they found that the room was empty.
After asking the colleagues in the clerical department next to me, I found out that the police were indeed out.
