After giving Ayako a little "science" about Xiaolan's combat effectiveness, Karasawa bluntly said that he would investigate, and Ayako felt relieved.
After sending Ayako home, Karasawa returned to the dormitory and made a special call to Mouri Kogoro to inquire, hoping to get information about the gathering.
Yuanzi didn't have to think about it. She was even embarrassed to reveal it to her elder sister, and she would definitely not tell her "quasi-brother-in-law". On the contrary, Xiaolan, who was traveling with her, was very likely to know.
But it is a pity that neither Mouri Kogoro nor Xiaolan knew the specific information of Yuanzi's party. They only knew that Yuanzi invited Xiaolan to attend a magic party and asked Mouri Kogoro to help act as the driver.
The departure time is after school on Friday afternoon. Yuanzi plans to go somewhere in the evening and then have a day of fun at the villa on Saturday.
Anyway, Neon's high school ends very early, so I can definitely use this time to catch up.
However, Tangze also asked Xiaolan on the phone, asking her to ask Yuanzi for general information about attending the party when she goes to school tomorrow, and to contact him before leaving.
As for the reason, Karasawa used the excuse that "Ayako was worried about her sister, but didn't want Sonoko to feel nosy" and asked Xiaolan to help find out the news.
Xiaolan expressed her understanding of this. After all, when gathering with strangers online, it is always appropriate to let family members know general information.
But if family members ask too many questions, they will feel that the family members are too lenient, so "snatching" is also a normal phenomenon of concern.
If everything is safe, then maybe you will never know about your family's secret concern, and there is no need to let you know about it just to annoy them.
You may never know how much your family has done to care about you, but they are afraid of making you feel that they have invaded your privacy and never told you.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze thought about how to arrange the situation so that he could act rationally in the face of this upcoming case.
That's right, Tang Ze has already determined that a case will happen.
Although he doesn't know which case it is now, he is so confident!
But look at the lineup, the snowy weather, and the offline gathering at the mountain villa.
What else can it be if it’s not the “Blizzard Villa” mode!!
The most urgent thing to do now is to find a way to collect information, find out which specific case this is, and whether I have any impressions of it.
It is convenient to have an impression. There are many ways to intervene and eliminate the tragedy.
But if not, then Tang Ze can only take one step at a time and try his best to reduce casualties in order to obtain more rewards.
Fortunately, this time it was Ayako's request, which made it easier for Karasawa to reasonably intervene in the investigation and participate in the case.
Don't underestimate this reasonable reason for participation. It often determines the motivation for what you do and whether the logic of your behavior is reasonable.
Without Ayako's request, Karasawa would not be able to follow Sonoko directly there even if he now knew that a case would happen there in the future.
Firstly, Yuanzi would think that he was "inexplicable" or had "ulterior motives", and secondly, his actions were too abrupt, which would arouse suspicion, which was exactly what Karasawa did not allow.
The logic of all actions must be reasonable and make people take it for granted.
For example, his criminal status allows Tang Ze to participate in many cases legitimately.
But that can only be pursued after the case occurs. This is criminal work, so the investigation will not arouse any suspicion.
But this case has not yet occurred, and you need a reason to intervene.
Otherwise, if you stop the case once or twice without any end, you can still pretend to be a coincidence, but if you do it too many times, you will inevitably be suspected of having super powers or having ulterior motives.
Tangze didn't want to make a flaw in his logic and cause suspicion that fate's favor would be deducted. He also didn't want to experience the punishment if fate's favor was deducted to a negative number.
Although there was no further explanation, Tangze knew the importance of the matter when he saw that it was about "luck".
Therefore, Tang Zewu strives to bring out the essence of the "Gou" way and act cautiously.
Well, on the other hand.
Although having a sister-in-law like Yuanzi who frequently encounters cases is not a worry for others, she is a nuisance.
But for Tang Ze, as long as the means are sufficient, "trouble" can be reasonably transformed into "opportunity".
And now Yuanzi is my sister-in-law, so I still have to take care of her even if I don’t worry about it.
Speaking of which, when will Kyogoku really appear? If the two of them are dating, Sonoko's nymphomaniac attributes will be reduced a lot...
Wait... Karasawa, who was deep in thought, suddenly thought that he might be Kyogoku's real brother-in-law in the future...
Doesn't this mean that Kyogoku really has a "brother-in-law" relationship with me, and he will also call himself brother-in-law when the time comes...
emmmm…
It seems that I have a fighter with super-a-level combat power. Thinking about it, I am a little excited.
Well, this is basically a no-brainer, although it will take a while before you can use this beater.
Putting the matter of thugs aside, Tangze once again sorted out the magic-related cases in his mind, preparing to compare and verify the information from Xiaolan's inquiry tomorrow.
As for your question about why you don't act now, it's because it's already midnight...
………
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Tang Ze got up from the warm "seal" and added more clothes to himself, only then did he feel the long-lost warmth.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, and smoothing his messy hair, Tangze walked to the cafeteria to finish breakfast.
The time gradually entered noon, and just when Tangze thought he could spend the day calmly and waited for Xiaolan to send a message, the police siren rang again.
Picking up his thickened trench coat, Tangze immediately got into the car, turned on the siren, and went to the scene of the crime with Officer Takagi.
"What's going on at the scene?"
As soon as he got off the car, a police officer from the "Jiaoban Station" immediately ran over to report the situation. Tangze did not say polite greetings and went straight to the topic.
"The deceased was beaten to death."
The police officer stretched out his hand to guide Tangze and the two of them into the house, and kept introducing the situation, "The first person to be found was the mother of the deceased Nishiyama Wu. She came to her son's house at around nine o'clock to help clean the house and prepared some preparations. After lunch, I opened the door and found that my son had been murdered."
After following the police officers to the room where the crime occurred, the first thing they saw was the deceased lying in front of the computer desk with his eyes wide open.
It can be clearly seen that the fatal injury to the deceased was on his head, and it seemed that he was killed by multiple blows to his head with a murder weapon.
Red blood flowed from the deceased's head down his face, making the deceased's painful face look hideous.
On the computer screen that was lit nearby, a message that sounded like a premonition of a crime was displayed.
