Tangze, who was full of energy, came to Kesouyan on a new day and entered the office amidst greetings from everyone.
"Senior, you are finally willing to come to work." Seeing Karasawa take his seat, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help complaining.
"I was seeing off a friend yesterday and accidentally drank too much." Tang Ze smiled apologetically: "But nothing happened, right?"
After all, a case has just been solved, and no matter how hard you think, there will be no case.
And since it's a normal day, it means there won't be anything busy.
Hearing Karasawa's words, Koshizui Nanatsuki's face fell: "Yes, yes, nothing happened yesterday, so senior's absence from work has no impact at all."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you half a day off in the afternoon as compensation."
Karasawa immediately saw through Koshizui Nanatsuki's purpose in saying these words with a sullen face, and directly agreed to give him a half-day holiday.
Sure enough, after hearing Karasawa's words, the complaining expression on Koshimizu Nanatsuki's face instantly turned into a smile. That change of mood can be said to be a master of face-changing.
Seeing the other party cheering and running out to play in Sihuayuan, Tangze shook his head, closed his eyes and started on his own path of cultivation.
After all, no matter how powerful [The Road to the Martial Saint] is, it cannot be achieved overnight, so he needs constant and continuous training.
After looking at the various skills on the skill panel, Tangze decided to practice kendo first.
His swordsmanship is now A level [18/20], and he is only two years away from reaching the full level. He feels that as long as he has more actual combat with his opponents, he will soon be able to reach the perfect level.
Moreover, if there is a strong opponent, under the high pressure of the battle, he might be able to directly break through and reach S level.
After closing his eyes, Tangze chose the way of kendo and started fighting with real swords.
In the battles again and again, Tangze could feel that his level of swordsmanship was constantly improving. The areas that were originally stagnant and unsmooth became more and more smooth with repeated training, and even turned into his own things.
The morning went by in a flash during practice. When Tang Ze stood up and opened his eyes, a sharp murderous aura emerged in his eyes at the same time.
Fortunately, there was no one in the room at the moment. After a while, Tang Ze calmed down and regained his composure.
There's nothing you can do about it. Even if it's virtual, in your mind you're still fighting the enemy with real swords and guns. It's inevitable that it will have an impact if it happens too often.
However, this state was easy to calm down. After Tangze stood up and stretched his stiff body, he quickly recovered from the previous fighting state.
Opening the skill panel and taking a look, Tangze could feel that his kendo strength was much higher than before, although he hadn't seen any substantial skill improvement yet.
In the following days, Karasawa focused on kendo, eventually raising it to the A-level perfection level.
However, that afternoon, a call reporting a murder case also came to his office, breaking the peaceful routine of the past few days.
Karasawa didn't have any trouble about this. After all, the case was almost due, and he had tried it in the past few days, but Conan went to school as usual and had no schedule on Saturdays and Sundays.
When all the clues were empty, Tang Ze could only resign himself to fate. After all, the world was so big, and it was impossible for him to monitor a case that he didn't know when and where it would happen.
Without further ado, Tangze quickly set off with the members of Kesouyan and arrived at the coffee shop where the crime was found.
As soon as he entered the scene, he glanced around, and as expected, Karasawa saw the "Death duo" at the scene of the crime.
In addition to the two people, three people who failed in their attempts to form a "girls high school band" were also present.
"Brother-in-law, this way!"
After seeing Tangze's figure, Sonoko immediately waved her arms.
"What happened?" Tang Ze walked over to the three of them and said, "Why are you three here too?"
"It's not why we are here, it's because we made an appointment." Yuanzi said angrily: "It's the uncle and the kid who followed us, right Xiaolan!"
"Let's talk about those issues later." Xiaolan, who was on the side, heard that Yuanzi meant to talk at length, and quickly opened her mouth to bring the topic back to business.
"Anyway, let me understand the situation first."
Looking at Takagi who arrived one step ahead of them, Karasawa stood next to Officer Megure and began to listen to the information summarized by the other party after the investigation.
According to the confessions of Masumi Sera and others, they happened to find Kogoro Mori and Conan following them at that time. While they were having a conversation, they suddenly heard a female scream coming from the direction of the kitchen.
Then everyone followed the sound and went to the dressing room in the kitchen, where they found the deceased Daiki Sarake leaning on the cabinet with blood on his head, and next to him was a panicked Naomura Irezu.
"How many alibi were involved in the entire case?"
Although he had already guessed that there were three people, Tang Ze still asked.
"The chefs in the back kitchen can all testify to each other that no one left."
Officer Memu heard this and said, "The only ones who don't have alibi are the three in front of me."
Naomura Izuzu is a good-looking young girl. She is a waiter in this restaurant and the first person to discover the deceased.
The fat middle-aged woman's name is Shuo Hasuma, and she is the manager of this restaurant.
As for the thirty-year-old man next to her, his name is Benchao Lifan, and he is her younger brother. The reason why he comes to the back kitchen is to provide guidance to the chefs in the restaurant's back kitchen.
Naomura Ireu followed the store manager's instructions and came to look for vases, so she came to the dressing room, and then she discovered the body of the deceased.
It is understood that the vase was originally from the north, but when I came here today, I found that the large vase at the door was missing, so the store manager asked her to look for it.
Then the deceased was discovered, and next to him was a large vase stained with blood.
"Where is the time of death?" After listening to the investigation information, Kogoro Mori looked at Aso and said, "Doctor, can the time be determined?"
"He almost died just now." Aso took off his white gloves and said, "The deceased was killed between half past one and two o'clock."
"So, if the chefs can all testify against each other, you three are the suspects." Sera Masumi looked at the three of them with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Indeed, and Mr. Benchao is the most suspicious."
Mouri Kogoro said solemnly: "Officer Megure, this vase is very heavy judging by its size. If you want to wash the vase and hit someone, it is impossible for a girl to have the strength!
Therefore, the deceased was probably very powerful and could only be a male!"
"How could it be me!"
Benchao Lifan immediately became anxious when he heard this: "I went to the kitchen, but I didn't know he was there!
And you see, my hand was dislocated while playing baseball and I couldn’t even lift an apple. How could I lift such a heavy vase!”
"This must weigh thirty kilograms."
Takagi lifted it with difficulty, then put it down immediately and said: "There are flowers and sprinkled water at the crime scene, which means that the vase may still have water, so it will be heavier."
"Is it an outside crime?" Officer Memu touched his chin and said, "The back door is open, and the door to the lounge was also opened because the deceased was smoking."
"No, no, the prisoner is among the three of them."
As the words rang out, everyone present turned to look at the owner of the voice, only to find that Tang Ze was lying under the cabinet next to the deceased, seemingly looking at something.
"Brother Tang Ze, what are you doing?"
After Officer Megure saw Karasawa's actions, he quickly asked: "Is there any important clue under this bookcase?"
"Yes, there is a murderous plot set up by the criminal down here."
Karasawa stood up and clapped his hands, looked at the ugly-looking Naomura Izuzu and said calmly: "Am I right, Miss Naomura?"
After the words fell, everyone present was shocked. Unexpectedly, Tang Ze actually directly targeted one of the suspects.
This speed is a bit too fast, and people can't believe it.
Except for Conan among the crowd, Sera Masumi, who has the highest level of reasoning, looked even more confused.
She was at the scene immediately after the incident occurred.
But now she has no clue at all, and Tangze Criminal just came to the scene to get a general understanding of the situation, and already knows the prisoner?
After Shiliang Zhenzun was surprised, a flash of light flashed in his mind. After looking at the blood on the forehead of the corpse, he immediately looked at Tangze and said quickly: "Could it be that the murderer was contaminated with blood?"
"That's right."
Karasawa nodded and said: "After entering the crime scene, I used my super-smell sense to explore the surroundings, and found that Miss Naomura Izuzu, your trouser legs and shoes were stained with a slight smell of blood.
So it is basically certain that you are the murderer of Gengjia Dahui this time."
"What, what"
Hearing Karasawa's words, Naomura Izuzu was completely stunned. The expression on his face changed. There was fear, but more of hesitation and disbelief.
"Are you joking!?"
Naomura Izuzu looked at Karasawa and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Such a ridiculous reason!!"
"That's not ridiculous at all!"
Officer Megure interrupted Naomura Isuzu's words, looked at her and said solemnly: "Karasawa's sense of smell is far superior to ordinary people. This is something that the entire Metropolitan Police Department knows."
After hearing Officer Megure's words, Naomura Izu looked at Karasawa again with fear on her face. It was obvious that she already knew and recognized Karasawa.
But soon she also thought of an excuse to deal with it, that is, although Tang Ze's sense of smell can help find the murderer, if there is no evidence, there is no way to convict her.
"Then you can't just rely on one-sided words to say that I am a criminal!"
After Naomura Iruzu stabilized her mind, she immediately said: "You said I was stained with blood. It's possible that it was accidentally contaminated when I accidentally checked Mr. Sarake's injuries!"
"Then I will restate your reasoning and leave you speechless. I think you should actually have a premonition of what I will say next."
When Karasawa heard Naomura Ireu's words, he smiled and said: "First of all, let me talk about the technique and explain how you used such a heavy vase to kill Mr. Sarake."
After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone also cast curious glances at Tang Ze. After all, they didn't want to understand how this girl, who looked weak and slender, could lift the vase that even a man had trouble lifting.
of.
"This vase is indeed very heavy. It would be difficult for an adult man to lift it with both hands, let alone lift it above his head and crush someone to death."
Tang Ze said: "But there is a saying called "If the mountain doesn't come to see me, I will go to see the mountain." This sentence is quite similar to your method.
You really can't lift the vase above your head and smash Mr. Gengjia to death, but you can make Mr. Gengjia lower his head.
In this way, even if you can only lift the vase slightly, you can easily kill the opponent.
And if you want to do this, you have to let Mr. Gengjia lie down on the ground on his own initiative."
Tang Ze's tone was playful: "Guess what I saw when I was lying on the ground just now?"
Looking at the pale-faced Naomura Irezu, Karasawa did not continue to talk about it and said directly: "It's a pearl earring, and it's a pearl earring that has been manipulated.
If ordinary pearl earrings are dropped on the ground, the earring needles will stick to the ground due to their weight.
But because you need it to be fixed to the ground, the needle of the pearl is pointed upward.
Precisely because he couldn't get it out with a vacuum cleaner, you were given enough time to lift the vase and kill it.
Even if you wipe off the fingerprints on your pearl earrings in advance, they are still something you have worn for a long time, and the skin tissue is enough for DNA testing.
These and the blood stains on your shoes are enough to convict you."
"That's not all."
I don’t know why. Conan, who had been standing nearby in a daze for some reason. Conan, who was particularly quiet this time, seemed to have heard Karasawa’s words at this moment, and suddenly added: “Sister, when you helped me clean the broken cup, I saw that you were wearing socks.
But now you are no longer wearing socks. I think it was when you killed Mr. Gengjia that you took them off when the blood spattered on them.
As long as you check carefully, you should be able to find it, this is also an ironclad proof!"
After hearing Conan's words, Naomura Izuzu couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed directly on the ground.
"You win"
Naomura Izuzu said with a wry smile: "My luck is really bad. The illusion I designed so painstakingly does not exist."
"Illusion?" Officer Memu asked curiously.
"It's just the water in the vase and the locker lock that was picked open."
Naomura Izuzu truthfully confessed: "I poured the water into the vase after I killed the person, and the bottle is in my closet.
As for the cabinet lock, you only need to put two wrenches into the U-shaped lock ring, and then use the strength of your body to break it easily."
"The purpose of adding weight to the vase is to clear the suspicion, and the other is to create the impression that outsiders invaded and killed Mr. Gengjia, right?"
Shiliang Zhenzhun looked stunned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said: "It's a pity that you met Tangze Criminal, and they locked you as a criminal from the beginning, and all the efforts you did were destined to be in vain.
But even without Karasawa Criminal Investigation, you are destined to be arrested, because this kid also noticed your socks that were splattered with blood."
When Naomura Izuzu heard this, he smiled relievedly: "It seems that people can't do bad things after all."
