After Tang Ze made three judgments, he took the shovel and dug into the deep pit again.
The first and second possibility is that he has no way to verify it now, so Tang Ze must at least find out the third possibility that he can directly verify it if he can contribute.
After digging, Tangze realized that his third idea should be correct.
Because the soil underneath is still very loose, it doesn't feel hard when digging, much like the coating they dug into the front of the suitcase before.
"I believe this now, and my hands are gradually speeding up.
The two of them worked together to dig very quickly, and soon they dug more than ten centimeters. Tangze soon smelled the smell of lime coming from the soil and the faint smell of rot mixed in it.
For a criminal who has been at crime scenes for many years and has a well-developed sense of smell, this is a smell he is very familiar with.
"Now I know why Reika Sasaki installed a hidden camera in front of her house." Karasawa said while digging.
"Why? Isn't it to take care of the money buried in the soil?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki said breathlessly.
"Although money is also important to her, sooner or later she will use it. If she wants insurance, she can buy a separate safe, so digging a hole and burying the safe is just incidental."
Tangze's breathing was still steady, and his hand movements even sped up a little: "And her real purpose of installing the camera is probably for this purpose."
She was afraid that the body underground would be discovered one day, so she secretly installed a camera to guard the body."
Karasawa's answer made Koshizui Nanatsuki's pupils shrink unconsciously, and the movements of his hands stopped unconsciously: "It's true or not, Karasawa Criminal Investigation, are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I can smell it even when I dig to this depth."
Karasawa looked at the white color in the soil dug out by the shovel, and pointed to Nanatsuki Yuesui to see: "If I guess correctly, Sasaki Reika specially sprinkled lime on the corpse in order to prevent the corpse from smelling.
As an anti-odor treatment.
Then we added a layer of lime soil when burying it, and we may be close to digging up the body."
"This is really a big case."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the deep pit below and murmured twice, then started digging again.
"There are so many things people can do for money."
Karasawa said: "But it is indeed rare to see someone as ruthless as Reika Sasaki. In order to protect this body from being discovered, she actually lived here directly."
"Yeah...this woman...is really scary."
After digging for a while, Koshimizu Nanatsuki stopped and gasped: They dug such a deep hole to bury the body.
You are a man with strong physical strength and the two of us have been digging for so long. It is hard to imagine how much effort Reika Sasaki put in to dig this hole.
And aren't you afraid of living on a corpse every day? I have nightmares just thinking about it. Is this woman a pervert?"
"But I have to say that this is indeed the most cautious and difficult to detect method."
Tangze said: "She dug a pit deep enough to bury the body, and also used lime. She was probably afraid that the smell of the rotting body would attract other people's attention.
Although this woman is just a bartender, she definitely has brains.
If the other party hadn't suddenly disappeared in an accident, I'm afraid we wouldn't have investigated to this point.
If she is allowed to live here for more than ten years, whether she digs out the bones and throws them into the sea, or lives here for the rest of her life, I am afraid that this murder case has been concealed by her."
While the two were talking, they were digging into a layer of soil mixed with lime, and a stinky smell gradually came out as they were digging.
Finally, they stopped when they dug into a huge black bag.
After simply confirming the phone number, I notified the local police station and asked the local search section to come over and take over the murder case.
As for the follow-up identity investigation and other work, they are naturally responsible for it, and Tang Ze and the others only need to wait for the results.
Because it was a murder case, people from the local police station arrived quickly, and soon several police cars parked at the Sasaki family's residence.
This scene also attracted many passers-by to watch, and naturally the small group of "mom friends" who were visited by Tang Ze for investigation were also among them.
However, Tang Ze and the others did not call them, after all, the corpse found had obviously no connection with them.
Afterwards, the forensic doctor conducted an identification on the body and determined that
In addition, they found a driver's license on the body.
This is undoubtedly good news. With a driver's license, you don't have to worry about investigating the identity of the corpse.
As soon as the corpse named Nonomura Takao was sent back for verification in the database, it was discovered that the other party was also a dirty guy.
The other person used to work in a securities company and was a senior executive, but he embezzled a bucket of 300 million yen of the company's public funds and ran away, so he was wanted by the police.
Later, the whereabouts of the other party were never found, and the police even believed that the other party had fled abroad.
Before the other party embezzled public funds, he would go to Roppongi every day to spend money. It was at that time that the two met.
Later, when Reika Sasaki learned that Takao Nonomura was a corrupt criminal, she killed him.
After that, he quit his job and became a translator. He guarded the body until it was discovered by Karasawa and the others.
The local police station began to investigate Reika Sasaki's experience as a waitress to see if there was any relationship with the other party that would lead to the other party's murder.
Koshizui Nanatsuki watched the criminals leave and looked at Tang Zawa: "We can just wait for the results now, right?
Judging from the current situation, Reika Sasaki's disappearance does not seem to have much connection with "Mom's Friend"."
"There was something that concerned me just now." Tang Ze said.
"The time we came here before, I remember there was a flashlight here." Tangze pointed to a cabinet next to the room: "But it's gone now."
"The prisoner probably used it at that time and took it away like that."
Koshizui Nanatsuki guessed: "Let's just ignore this. What will we do later?"
"Go buy you a bottle of champagne." Tangze said with a smile.
"So, Karasawa Criminal Investigation, you still think this matter has something to do with my mother's friend?" Koshizui Nanatsuki heard this.
"At least we need to find out who bought that bottle of champagne and why it was broken there."
Tangze said: "After all, champagne is so expensive, and the person who bought it must have a purpose."
"Okay, I don't mind if you rush to buy me champagne." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile: "But where are we going to buy it? Have you found a specialty store?"
"There is one nearby. I checked it out yesterday." Tangze walked out and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The two drove all the way to a liquor store. After showing their photos, the clerk quickly recognized each other.
"I remember this customer. She specially bought 2000 champagne at that time," the clerk said.
“Specially selected Champagne from 2000?”
Koshimi Nanatsuki took the champagne packaged by the clerk and followed Karasawa out of the store. He shook the champagne in his hand with a strange look on his face and said: "Why did the other party buy champagne of a specific year? Isn't it the same?
?”
"In a specific year, usually the wine is either particularly good or has commemorative significance."
Tangze said: "Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. I remember Mrs. Yuanxiang said that her child seemed to have a birthday.
In other words, Xiao Lu seems to be almost five years old."
"So you suspect that the bottle of champagne was given to Xiao Lu?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki reacted.
"The high probability is that it is like this." Tang Ze said as he walked: "But if you ask rashly, I'm afraid you won't get any answers."
"Let's take the fingerprint on the champagne bottle and verify it."
Koshizui Nanatsuki thought for a while and said: "If this bottle of champagne is really given to Mrs. Madoka, even if the champagne breaks due to the fight between the two, there should be two fingerprints on it."
"The champagne bottles we brought back are already being inspected by the local scientific research institute. Now we just need the results."
Tangze said: "What we have to do now is to try our luck and call the local police station and ask them to check the situation at Mrs. Yuanxiang's house.
Also, when we go to the park, can we meet Xiao Lu or other children?"
"What do you think the child will know?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked as he took out his cell phone.
"No, but at least what they say is honest."
Tangze smiled and said: "And there is no evidence to confront Mrs. Maranka now. The investigation will take time, so it is better to try your luck."
"Understood." Koshizui Nanatsuki shrugged upon hearing this and followed Karasawa to the park.
There were children playing in the park, but they were not the ones they had seen before. After waiting for more than half an hour, the two of them were about to give up, but they saw Xiao Lu walking towards the park holding a mobile phone and taking pictures.
"You're so lucky to meet the rightful owner." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile.
"Considering that Yuanxiang provides him with a mobile phone every day, the chance of him going out to play alone is indeed higher."
Tang Ze said this and walked towards Xiao Lu with a smile and said hello.
Because the two of them had visited Mrs. Yuanxiang's house and Xiao Lu also knew their identities, the other party didn't have the same fear of strangers.
"Xiao Lu, sister would like to ask if Aunt Hiroko talked to you when you were having a barbecue?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked with a warm expression.
"Well, I told you!"
Xiao Lu nodded and gestured: "Aunt Guangzi said that you can buy me whatever I want for my birthday.
But when my mother heard this, she ran over very angry and said that she couldn’t take other people’s things.”
"Angry?" Koshizui Nanatsuki frowned when he heard this. He didn't know why Mrs. Madoka had such a reaction.
Logically speaking, even if you don't want others to spend money on gifts for your child's birthday, it should be polite and there is no way it could be related to anger.
So in this case, Mrs. Yuanxiang's anger was very subtle.
"Xiao Lu, I want to ask, when you were having a barbecue, did you take pictures with your mobile phone?" Tang Ze asked, looking at the mobile phone in the other person's hand.
"Well, of course I took the photo." Xiao Lu unlocked the phone and called up the picture: "Look."
The two of them went over to take a look and found that Xiao Lu didn't take many photos, and most of them were with friends.
However, when they turned to one of the photos of a mantis, they saw the remaining color in the grass. They looked at each other and quickly enlarged it.
"That's it." Seeing Tang Ze's expression of surprise, he looked at Xiao Lu and said, "Xiao Lu, where was this photo of the mantis taken?"
"After I came out of the toilet," Xiao Lu held his chin and said, "Because mantises are cool, I took a picture of them."
"The time was two and a half past two, after Miss Hiroko disappeared." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the time when the photo was taken and said, "Xiaolu, can you send me a copy of this photo of the mantis?"
"Okay." Hearing Koshizui Nanatsuki's words, Xiao Lu nodded. Seeing that the other party agreed, Koshizui Nanatsuki took the other party's mobile phone to operate it and sent the photo to Karasawa.
"etc!!"
While the two were sending photos, Mrs. Yuanxiang suddenly ran over. She hugged Xiao Lu and let her son go and play.
Seeing Xiao Lu running away, he looked at the two of them angrily, "Even if you are criminals, you can't approach my child casually!
I have heard about Miss Hiroko. Did she kill the embezzler and steal his money?
And she was probably killed for this reason. It has nothing to do with us, so why are we looking for her!"
"Of course it's because it's related."
Tangze looked at the angry Mrs. Maranka and said, "To be more precise, it has something to do with you, madam."
Tangze's words made Mrs. Maranka's pupils tremble instantly, and she even subconsciously turned back and looked at Tangze in a panic and said, "You, what do you mean!!"
"Yoshui, you go there first," Tangze said, "Remember to ask Mrs. Masashi to leave."
"I understand." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, turned around and ran to Yamada Masaro's house.
"Mrs. Yuanxiang, you still want to come with us." Tang Ze smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are going to a place you are familiar with."
Looking at Karasawa who was smiling but showing a look that could not be rejected, Mrs. Madoka, even though she was very resistant in her heart, had no choice but to follow Karasawa's footsteps and walk towards Masashiro Yamada's house.
By the time the two arrived at the Yamada family's mansion, Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already asked Yamada Masaro to leave with his son.
"What's this!?"
Following Tang Ze to the photo wall, Mrs. Yuanxiang looked at the photos on the wall with a look of shock on her face, "So you are"
"That's right, Mrs. Masashi was too worried about Miss Hiroko and happened to meet us, so she specifically asked us to investigate."
Tangze smiled and said: "These are all posted by Mrs. Masashi, but don't worry, Yueshui has sent her away. She didn't know you would come here."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Looking at the photos all over the wall, Mrs. Yuanxiang asked in a panic.
