"So, senior, what do you think this is going on?"
The more Naoki Kamei thought about it, the more his head hurt, so he simply gave up thinking and wanted to ask Karasawa for the answer: "If Kuyuki Masaaki is really not a prisoner, then why did he do this?
Moreover, in the interrogation just now, he has been suspected of being a murderer, but he still refuses to tell the truth. What is he hiding?"
"There are so many possibilities."
Tang Ze gave an example: "For example, he wanted to use himself to divert the attention of the police.
Or maybe I want to get in touch with someone who is currently in prison.
But no matter what, it was something that Masaaki Kugyuki would rather be suspected of being a murderer than reveal the truth.
And the thing that makes him willing to bear such a price must involve a huge secret.
Although there is a high probability that he was involved in this murder case accidentally, but everything that followed must have been his willingness to get involved in this trouble."
"This secret must involve huge interests!"
Hearing this, Uye Naoki guessed: "I heard that his parents are both in his hometown, and there is an unmarried tavern owner's wife here.
The police of Okutama Town had investigated the other party before, and even the wife of an ordinary tavern owner did not provoke anyone.
And it’s not like that kind of guy is willing to take such a big risk for others, so what makes him still unwilling to confess must be huge benefits!"
"Well, although the judgment is subjective, the reasoning this time is pretty good." After hearing Naoki Uye's reasoning, Karasawa commented: "I have the same idea as you."
"Hehe, it all depends on the analysis of the seniors, otherwise I would still have the previous concept that Jiuxing Zhengzhang is the culprit."
Uye Naoki smiled and scratched his head, then said seriously: "Then what should we do next?
At present, we have no clue about what Jiuxing Zhengzhang is hiding..."
"That's not necessarily the case."
As he spoke, Karasawa took out his cell phone and dialed Hiroshi Saito's number. The call was quickly connected. He went straight to the topic without saying anything: "How is the matter I asked you to investigate before? Have the results come out?"
"I was just about to call you."
Saito Hiroshi from the Science Research Office held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the information report displayed on the computer: "Your intuition is really terrible, just as you guessed.
Let me tell you the results directly. First of all, the hair and footprints found at the crime scene were different from those of Jiuxing Zhengzhang.
However, the hair of the victim sent from Okutama Town also had DNA data, and one of them matched the deceased.
This also proves that the victim you found was one of the people involved in the 1.2 billion jewelry robbery case!"
"What!? He's actually the robber of Ginza's 1.2 billion jewels!?"
Because Karasawa turned on the speakerphone, Ue Naoki naturally heard all the conversation between the two.
When he heard Hiroshi Saito's final conclusion, he couldn't help but scream.
He never thought that the robbery case that caused a lot of noise before would actually be related to them in this way.
In contrast to Kamei Naoki's surprise, Karasawa was not that surprised.
After all, he saw this case in the news yesterday, and now that he is involved in it in this way is completely "unexpected, but reasonable".
In the world of science, if it is a case that is in the news but has not been solved, then you should be more careful.
Especially if another case happens after this, it is very likely that the cases reported on TV news before will be connected in various ways that you can't think of in order to solve them.
And even if you don't speculate based on "Ke Xue's Law", you will still get the same answer in the end.
After all, there was a jewelry robbery just yesterday, and a murder occurred today. Even if it was just a precaution, the police would take hair DNA.
It's just that Tangze's judgment accelerated the outcome.
"If it was a robber who committed a jewelry robbery, there would be too many reasons for him to be killed."
After being surprised, Naoki Kamei calmed down and analyzed: "The relationship between companions is broken, there is internal strife, and the spoils are unevenly divided..."
"No need to analyze, this is not a case we are responsible for."
Karasawa interrupted Uye Naoki's analysis and reminded: "What we need to pay attention to now is the relationship between the bandit group and Kuyuki Masaki."
"That guy Masaaki Kugyuki is really difficult to deal with." Naoki Uyei scratched his head irritably: "We still don't know what he plans to do."
"After all, he is also a genius at lying."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "But the only thing I can be sure of is that this kind of person will not do useless work, and all his actions should be justified.
We must still lack some information, so we can't clearly see his plan."
"The so-called "hundred times at the scene", shall we go to the crime scene again next?" Uye Naoki asked with a smile.
"You've learned how to answer quickly." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Let's go, the rain outside has stopped, it's a good time to return to the scene."
The two of them walked to the parking lot while talking. Karasawa declined Naoki Uye's request to be the driver and drove to the scene of the crime himself.
The rain had just stopped and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Tang Ze quickly drove to the villa area where the crime occurred.
"Eh? Senior, did you drive to the wrong place?"
Uye Naoki looked at the car that suddenly turned onto an unfamiliar road and couldn't help but remind him: "There is an abandoned factory in the villa area on the left side of the road. This seems to be..."
"I know, this is Aomori Brewery."
Tangze smiled and said: "I have already seen the villa area and the crime scene, and there is no possibility of any smell remaining after it rains.
Rather than looking through almost all the places where clues have already been searched, it is better to first check out the only place nearby that has not been investigated.
Of course it’s good if you have clues, but you can rule out a location even if you don’t have clues.”
"I see." Naoki Ueijing said with a smile, "I've learned another trick."
"This is just to expand the search scope." Tang Ze scolded with a smile: "You kid, please stop flattering me."
While they were chatting and joking, the two of them arrived at the Aomori Brewery. Because it was open for business, the person in charge of the brewery personally received them next to the front desk after they identified themselves.
"Are the two criminals involved in the murder case at the abandoned factory?"
After the two expressed their intention to come, the middle-aged man who introduced himself as Nakamura was not too nervous or defensive. After inviting the two to sit down, he cooperated very cooperatively and said: "If you need my cooperation in any way, please just ask."
"I wonder if Mr. Nakamura thought there was anything unusual last night? It's also something you care about." Naoki Uyei asked as usual.
"This one is gone."
Mr. Nakamura shook his head and smiled: "We got off work at around seven or eight o'clock at the latest, and nothing happened at that time."
"When I came in just now, I saw the "Barrel Wine Owner System" written on the billboard at the door. I don't know what it is?"
Tangze asked curiously, pointing to the large billboard erected next to the front desk.
"Well, this is a new activity we are launching now."
Mr. Nakamura smiled when he heard this and explained: "The wine distillation here is done in Nagano, and after being packaged, it is placed in the warehouse here.
This activity is to recruit customers who purchase the entire barrel of encapsulated original wine.
To put it simply, an individual or group chooses the wine barrel they like, then pays to order the barrel and becomes the owner of the barrel.
This kind of aged wine tastes better than other wines on the market, and is very popular among some drinkers.
And the price is relatively inexpensive. Many customers who don’t drink much will order a barrel after learning about this system.”
"By the way, how long does it take to store wine under this warehouse system before you can drink it?" Tangze asked.
"Well...if we have to wait for it to fully ferment and mature, it will probably take about 6 years." Mr. Nakamura thought for a while and said.
"It's been such a long time."
After Karasawa heard the news, an idea came to his mind in vain. He looked at Mr. Nakamura and asked: "Then no one can enter this warehouse for the next five years, right?"
"Yes, if there is no special matter, even I, the person in charge, cannot enter it casually."
Mr. Nakamura nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, some wine barrels have not yet been reserved, so if there is a customer request, we will still bring them in to watch.
Once all the barrels are reserved, the warehouse will be sealed."
"Then I'm very interested." Tang Ze said with a smile: "I wonder if you can let me go to the warehouse to watch it.
Of course, this is not official business, but a private matter."
"It's natural, welcome." Mr. Nakamura naturally heard the meaning of Tangze's words, and immediately became enthusiastic: "Please come with me."
"Senior, why did you suddenly buy a drink?" Following Mr. Nakamura, Naoki Kamei reminded Karasawa in a low voice: "We still have the crime scene to look at."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Tang Ze smiled, but didn't explain much.
Arriving in front of the warehouse door, Mr. Nakamura took out a bunch of keys from his body, then squatted down to open the big lock in front of the iron door, and at the same time explained:
"Currently, because customers come to the warehouse to observe the situation, we only close the door on this floor, which is easier to open. The sliding door above will be closed when the warehouse is closed."
"I can see that you guys are very attentive." Tang Ze glanced at the big lock hanging on the door and followed him into the warehouse.
The entire warehouse was dimly lit, but there was a faint light emitting on the shelves where the wine barrels were placed, so it was possible to see clearly what was inside.
The structure of the entire warehouse is actually very simple. There are five floors of shelves in total, and each floor has an independent grid with placed drinks.
According to Mr. Nakamura, customers can come here to choose their favorite number and order drinks.
Of course, if you want a different type of wine, the column on the left also has empty barrels that have not yet been filled with wine.
As long as you pay the money, the merchant will make red wine, white wine, foreign wine and other types according to your needs. They can even provide the raw materials themselves and hand them over to the manufacturer for brewing.
Of course, this kind of game is more expensive and usually only played by rich people.
Most people will order the wine barrels they have brewed. At most, they just choose the type and barrel number.
"How many wine barrels are there in the warehouse that have not yet been determined as owners?" Tang Ze asked.
"Just right, the first three columns are all."
Mr. Nakamura led the two of them quickly forward to a shelf in the middle of the warehouse: "These wines have just been brewed recently. They were just brought over these two days, and reservations only started in these two days.
If Mr. Karasawa is interested, you can also choose one of them, such as a lucky number or something."
"Before I buy the wine, I want to ask you a question." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"What's the question?" Upon hearing that Karasawa planned to place an order, Mr. Nakamura's attitude instantly became enthusiastic: "If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them for you."
"It's not a troublesome problem."
Tangze waved his hand and said, "I want to know if there are any valuables in this warehouse besides these newly brewed drinks."
"Valuables?"
Mr. Nakamura thought for a while and pointed to the warehouse opposite the warehouse: "If it is a valuable item, there are several imported top-quality wines in the warehouse opposite."
"How much is it approximately? Do you know how much it is worth?" Tangze asked again.
"Red wines such as Romanée-Conti and Petroux, totaling almost one million, there are dozens of bottles."
"Is it."
Tang Ze nodded to show understanding, then looked at the other person and smiled: "I've finished asking questions, I want all these drinks."
"Okay...I don't know which one you want to choose..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that what Tang Ze said was different from what he subconsciously thought. When he realized it, he was stunned on the spot: "Eh?"
"Can I swipe my card at the front desk?" Karasawa looked at the stunned Mr. Nakamura and said with a smile, "I don't bring that much cash."
"No, it's not..." Mr. Nakamura swallowed and said, "I seemed to have heard wrong just now... Which one do you want, Mr. Karasawa?"
"No, you heard it right, I want all the newly brewed wine." Tang Ze took out his bank card from his wallet: "Can I pay by credit card?"
"Okay." Mr. Nakamura took the bank card with both hands and quickly asked Tang Ze and the others to go out of the warehouse and go to the front desk to complete the purchase procedures.
When the POS machine spit out the receipt, Mr. Nakamura realized that the transaction had really been completed.
This moment made him excited. After all, it was so refreshing to meet such a big customer, and he was a customer who originally thought he would not buy drinks when he came to investigate the case.
Thinking of his generous bonus, Mr. Nakamura looked at Karasawa even more enthusiastically.
"Do all these drinks belong to me now? I should have the right to dispose of them, right?"
After signing the transaction contract, Karasawa looked at Mr. Nakamura with the invoice and asked.
"certainly."
Hearing this, Mr. Nakamura nodded repeatedly and said: "These are Mr. Karasawa's wines. You can store them here. If you have a suitable environment or wine cellar, you can also store them yourself.
Of course, if there is no suitable environment, it is still recommended that you put the wine here, otherwise the wine may be damaged due to the environment."
"It doesn't matter, I planned to dismantle them all from the beginning," Tangze said with a smile.
"Eh? Eh! ??"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, the two people on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
