It is said that it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household matters because people cannot love or hate someone so decisively.
"It's exactly what you said. I relied on Mr. Shenggu to confirm my father's physical condition from the side."
After hearing Karasawa tell the reason, Miura Aya directly admitted it, with a look of anger on her face: "My father is a miser.
Even though he was hospitalized, he still kept urging Mr. Sheng Gu, a real estate agent, to sell the house quickly.
My mother's matter has always been a knot in my mind, but he is my father after all. When the nurse at the hospital talked about his illness, I thought about going to visit him.
But after knowing that he has been urging Mr. Shenggu to sell some houses, this move made me very angry..."
So because of her mother's worries, Miura Aya never visited her, which was also her way of expressing her dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, she also inquired about her father's behavior from Mr. Shenggu.
As long as there is no movement from President Shenggu's side, it proves that his father is fine.
"A miser..."
Tang Ze shook his head slightly with a sigh on his face, "But is this really the case?"
"What do you mean by that?" Miura Aya frowned upon hearing this.
"Actually, your father seems to want to sell the villa as soon as possible for money, but in fact it doesn't make sense."
Karasawa smiled and explained: "In fact, President Shenggu told him more than once that the land will be demarcated from the Cultural Education District, and the land price will rise a lot by then.
If he is really the miser you say, then why not sell when the value rises but insist on selling at this low price?"
"Huh? You said that land is going to appreciate in value?" Aya Miura looked surprised, "Then why..."
"Maybe it's because of your father's illness. When we visited him today, he said that he is not going to die soon."
Tangze sighed: “Because I can’t wait for the day when the value will appreciate, I want to sell it quickly.
As a law major, although I am not specialized in inheritance, I still understand some laws in this area.
Compared with a house, if its selling point is converted into cash, it is more convenient to give it away during your lifetime."
"Gift during your lifetime?" Miura Aya asked: "What does that mean..."
"Actually, that's the literal meaning, but from a legal perspective it's for tax avoidance."
Karasawa explained: "But if the amount is smaller, the tax will be higher than inheritance tax."
"Then why would you choose to give it as a gift during your lifetime?" Miura Aya asked puzzledly.
"Because gifts during your lifetime must go through legal procedures."
Karasawa looked at Miura Aya's violently contracted pupils and knew that the other party had actually realized the answer: "Yes, because this way I can see you."
"That's why he wants to sell some villas quickly." Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly said.
"My dad...how could this happen..." Miura Aya muttered, her eyes turning red instantly.
"Your father wants to see you more than money."
Karasawa said, pointing to the photo of Mrs. Miura placed in the living room: "By the way, this photo is also on your father's bedside."
"Eh?" Miura Aya was stunned: "My father..."
"I don't know the rest."
Karasawa looked at Miura Aya and smiled and said: "If the disputes and misunderstandings between close relatives cannot be resolved early, they may regret it for the rest of their lives.
You have to do the rest by yourself, right?"
"I understand." Miura Aya wiped her tears and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Thank you very much."
Seeing that the other person was about to go to the hospital, the two of them did not continue to argue, and directly said goodbye to each other and left.
"The truth is actually like this." Nanatsuki Koshizui sighed: "I still have a lot of shortcomings. You must have foreseen this result a long time ago, Karasawa Criminal Investigation."
"After all, I have legal knowledge, but you don't."
Tangze smiled and said: "Because of the lack of necessary information, you will suspect that there is a hidden secret, but you can't restore the truth of the matter.
Okay, it’s already o’clock, let’s get off work directly, do you want me to give you a ride?”
"No, I can just take the bus here. It's not far from my home."
Koshizui Nanatsuki waved his hand and said goodbye to Karasawa: "Thank you also to Karasawa Criminal for your guidance today. It seems that I still have a lot to learn."
"Take your time. There will be more cases in the future and you will have enough time to accumulate experience."
Tang Ze waved his hand towards the other party from the car window and said with a smile, "I'm still very optimistic about you."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled back at this, waved his hand and walked towards the underground station next to him without looking back.
And Tangze's words were not just polite, but he was really optimistic about the other party.
After all, she is also a famous young female detective in the "South". Even though her abilities are weaker than those of Kanto's "Rolling Washing Machine" and Kansai's "Osaka Black Chicken", she is still a good talent.
Moreover, with him taking charge of the case, and with the actual combat on various cases, he believed that the other party would soon be able to take charge of his own affairs.
Today's day's investigation was also very good. Although there is no news from the Haigu case, at least many interference options have been eliminated.
Not only was the missing person found, but Kanai and Miura Aya were also eliminated as suspects.
The previous hodgepodge of "haunted house rumors + disappearance cases + skeleton cases" has now been sorted out, and the suspects have been investigated one by one.
Now just focus on the skeleton case.
Thinking of this, Tangze called Conan, explained the general situation of the case, and asked him to help find the two children and find out the secrets they concealed.
Maybe they don't tell their hidden secrets to adults, but they don't have such scruples when facing their peers.
Although the disappearance case seems to have been solved, the first two missing children have no connection with the last fake disappearance.
In other words, there was another hidden secret in the previous two disappearance cases. Tangze naturally wanted to find out clearly, so he left it to Conan to solve it.
Moreover, Karasawa felt relieved when he handed over the task to the other party, and did not feel that there was any reason to fail.
If such a trivial matter cannot be investigated, then Conan should stop messing around and just go to elementary school with peace of mind.
After assigning Conan a task to be his tool, Tangze drove back home.
"came back?"
Ayako poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the door open: "I'm about to cook, please wait a moment."
"Let me help too." Tangze took off his coat and walked towards the kitchen.
"No, you don't have to appear in the curry I made today." Ayako smiled: "But you came back a little late today. Did you have any work?"
"Originally, there wasn't one, but then Yueshui was short of tutors for internships, so they pulled me over."
Karasawa roughly explained the subsequent development: "The situation will be like this now. Although the original disappearance case has been solved, there is still no clue to the skeleton case."
"Just wait patiently. Maybe you will receive good news early tomorrow morning."
Ayako said as she put the rice and curry on the plate and urged Karasawa to change into pajamas: "Hurry up, we can start eating after changing clothes."
Karasawa still made a clear distinction between work and life. Although he pretended to still be concerned about the skeleton case, he still devoted himself to the case and accompanied Ayako for a walk outside.
Of course, this amount of exercise was still not enough, so after going home, Tang Ze did "extra classes" for two rounds of exercise after washing up, and then it ended with more than enough satisfaction.
........
Early the next morning, Karasawa and Koshizu Nanatsuki met at Kesouyan.
Ayako's words yesterday proved to be true, and this morning the two of them really received some good news.
The comparison of the skeleton has come out, and its identity has been confirmed!
Nakayama Hiroshi, 43 years old, reported the case to his mother, who lives in Sendai, her hometown.
After receiving the news, Tangze immediately asked the local inspector to inform him of the search results and interviews.
Although the old man was very sad when he learned that his son had been killed, he still told him everything he knew.
The last time Mrs. Zhongshan saw her son was three years ago.
Nakayama Hiroshi suddenly returned to his hometown from Tokyo with specialties and said he came back to see her, but he didn't go back to Tokyo very soon, saying he was busy with work.
Since then, there has been no phone call and no one can be contacted. Mrs. Zhongshan was worried that something might happen to her son, so she called the police.
Because his son worked in Tokyo, the Tokyo Police Department accepted the disappearance case. Fortunately, otherwise the identity of the skeleton might not have been confirmed this time.
In addition to these, Mrs. Zhongshan provided a very important clue.
He said that his son sent her money once a year and a half ago, and she even kept the envelope and money.
But the money was definitely not sent by his son, because the other party had already been killed and buried in the soil at that time, so it was impossible to send money to her.
Therefore, there must be another person behind the bill, and it is closely related to the death of Nakayama Hiroshi.
He is even the criminal in this case!
So Karasawa asked Sendai to send over this important evidence.
"The total amount is 35,380 yuan, and the owner of the fingerprints taken from the envelope and cash has no criminal record."
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at the forensic report in front of him and said: "In addition, the handwriting on the letter is not Nakayama's handwriting.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhongshan left these behind, so we can finally have a trace to follow."
"This is what being a mother is." Tang Ze sighed: "I will always miss my children."
"Then without further delay, let's go find those two people immediately."
Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "With this evidence, we can finally take the initiative.
Speaking of which, we really have to thank the staff of the Forensic Division, otherwise we would only be able to investigate slowly and in roundabout ways until now."
"The power of an individual is naturally inferior to that of the collective."
Tangze walked towards the elevator and said with a smile: "Many times, things that are difficult for detectives to investigate are very simple for criminals.
The reason lies in the division of labor and the convenience of technology. In movies and TV shows, detectives always have good connections with criminals, because those seemingly clues are very troublesome in reality."
“Indeed, it’s only after I’ve been a detective that I realized how convenient it is when investigating criminal cases.”
As the two walked towards the parking lot, they chatted about the advantages and disadvantages of criminal and detective. While chatting along the way, they also felt the park of the Miura family villa.
Their targets are the bald man and the bearded homeless man who followed them yesterday.
This type of people all have their own fixed "home", and occasionally do part-time work at construction sites to make money, but most of them receive the minimum social subsidy.
Because of this, even if their "homes" are very simple, they generally will not be moved easily.
So their fixed activity trajectory is basically determined.
The two walked around the park and soon found the bald man from yesterday.
"What are you doing?" The bald man became wary after seeing the two of them: "Why are you here again?"
"Why, you are allowed to follow us without us asking you questions?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki raised his brows in a somewhat aggressive manner.
"It's really not stalking. Didn't you say that yesterday?" the bald man said angrily.
"But you all felt guilty yesterday." Koshizui Nanatsuki said, "We are criminals, so we can still recognize this reaction."
"Actually we're just curious."
The bald man sighed and explained honestly: "That's a haunted house. People always disappear there. There's no point in coming out...
We saw you coming and going there, and we just wanted to see if the legend was true...
Who would have thought that you would suddenly be discovered, and you are still a criminal, so you feel guilty for no reason..."
"You guys are really free enough." Tang Ze asked: "I guess this suggestion was made by your companion, right?"
"Eh? It's..."
The bald man's wide eyes looked a little funny, obviously he didn't know why Tang Ze could directly say something that only the two of them knew.
"Obviously, you were taken advantage of." Nanatsuki Koshimizu stuffed two snacks into the opponent's hand and said, "Take us to find him."
Hearing what Criminal said, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts. He took Koshizui Nanatsuki's snack and took him to find the bearded man from yesterday.
On the way, the two of them also knew the basic situation of the bearded man.
The other party's name is Nario Mikio, he is about forty years old. He used to be a senior executive of a construction company. Later he went bankrupt and became a homeless man. He has been living here for about three years.
"It's been three years again." Nanatsuki Koshizui muttered when he heard this, "The time is right..."
"That guy Mikio, isn't he going to get into trouble?" Hearing Koshizui Nanatsuki's words to himself, the bald man beside him couldn't help but ask, but Karasawa's look stifled his subsequent words.
.
In this somewhat solemn silence, the two found Mikio Nario who was eating in his "broken tent".
"Nobita, why did you come here with the two criminals?" Seeing the three people coming, Nario Mikio was stunned and asked.
Before the bald man with the same name as the male protagonist of Doraemon could speak, Karasawa stepped between the two of them.
The next moment, Karasawa's eyes were like daggers, he looked down at the bearded man lying on the ground and said calmly: "Naruo Mikio, something happened to you."
