"Police Department, it's still a time to be discouraged."
Looking at Officer Memu with a gloomy expression, Tangze couldn't help but comfort him.
"You don't have to comfort me, I know how serious this situation is."
Officer Megure smiled bitterly and said: "I guess I can still keep my job. I'm afraid that guy Gongzhang has to prepare a resignation letter."
There is no way, someone has to take responsibility. After all, it took more than 20 cases for this case to be found to be an insider. Those responsible for the case are all responsible.
"What I mean is that a criminal is not necessarily a criminal."
Tangze interrupted Officer Megure's words and said: "The real murderer is clearly right in front of you, why is Officer Megure still thinking wildly and not daring to confirm the answer.
Are you really frustrated that you have to wait until everything is settled before you say no?"
"I was talking to myself."
When Officer Memu heard this, he felt that he was a little too pessimistic. After calming down, he said: "Let's go and see the real culprit. No matter what, this case must have a beginning and an end."
Having said this, Officer Memu walked towards the river with a solemn expression, obviously having prepared for the worst.
Because the river was dry, the water level was not too deep and only extended to the calves, so everyone quickly jumped into the water and came to the side of the police car that caused the accident.
"Takagi, how is the situation?"
Arriving at the river bank, Officer Memu couldn't wait to ask: "Are you sure it's an arsonist?"
"It has been confirmed that the person in the police car is the prisoner."
Takagi heard this and took out a bottle: "This is filled with fuel, and its smell is consistent with the special fuel for the remote-controlled aircraft used by the "Starry Sky Arsonist".
But the prisoner is already dead, and it is not yet certain whether it was caused by a car accident."
"Is that really the case?"
Officer Memu said sadly: "It seems that my work is really coming to an end."
"Police Department, this prisoner is not one of ours." After hearing this, Takagi said quickly: "We just identified him around, and no one knows the other person."
"Um!?"
Hearing Takagi's words, Officer Memu's expression perked up. He quickly turned on his flashlight and went to the car window to check on the long-haired prisoner whose eyes were closed and seemed to have passed out: "He smells so drunk. He drank a lot."
"Because of this, I'm afraid he will go on a rampage." Mouri Kogoro agreed naturally.
"But why does the other party have a police car? Was it stolen?" Tang Ze frowned.
"Sir, this should be a well-camouflaged fake car." A forensic examiner inspected the vehicle and said, "The workmanship is very good, but there are still some flaws after careful inspection."
"I asked him why he looked so familiar. It turned out to be him. No wonder he could disguise himself as a police car!"
After hearing the forensic examiner's words, Officer Memu took another careful look and suddenly showed a look of astonishment: "It's no wonder he set the car on fire."
"Officer Megure, do you know him?" After hearing what Police Megure said, Tang Ze looked at him in surprise and asked.
"A month ago, her mother died in a traffic accident. Since she was no longer there, in order to rule out a homicide case, we handled it together with the Traffic Division."
Officer Megure explained: “This boy was a car paint technician with excellent painting skills, and his mother was hit and killed by a dozing car owner.
Their family was originally poor, and the mother and son depended on each other for life. Now they are forced to be separated forever, which makes everyone watching feel sad.
It was also because this young man’s experience was so tragic that I had an impression of him.”
"I understand, out of hatred for the luxury car that killed my mother, I set fire to the luxury car to vent my anger." Mouri Kogoro suddenly said.
"In order to relax the vigilance of the police, a police car was deliberately disguised, so this young man used his painting skills to build a police car."
Officer Megure on the side suddenly said: "It really matches what Brother Aihara said, he would drink when he committed crimes at a young age, and I remember that the apartment he lives in is 1 kilometer away.
Of course, Brother Tangze is even more powerful, he can actually predict where the prisoner will commit his next crime."
"I just happened to find out the pattern of the murderer's crimes." Tang Ze smiled: "Now that the case is solved, Officer Megure, you can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Haha, I can finally have a good sleep."
Officer Memu didn't hide his relief: "The same goes for that fellow Gong Zhang, I can finally sleep peacefully today.
We both agree with you this time, and we will treat you to a nice meal some other time."
"What a pity for this young man."
Tang Ze shook his head and said regretfully: "He only committed arson and burned property, but he didn't deserve death. I didn't expect that he actually lost his life today."
"yes."
Officer Memu said: "I guess it was because I was drinking that I was unprepared and hit a vital part.
Anyway, the specific cause of death should be clear after the forensic autopsy."
"I hope so."
Tang Ze nodded and opened the system panel while everyone was closing in.
However, unlike the usual situations where rewards pop up on the panel after solving a case, this time the system was quiet and no message popped up.
Seeing this, Tang Ze's eyes were fixed, but his expression was calm, obviously he had expected it.
After all, his forensic science skills have reached level A, and he can be considered an experienced forensic doctor, so after seeing the deceased, he felt that it did not seem to be caused by impact.
However, it was impossible to see the further cause of death with the naked eye. An autopsy could only be performed, so Tang Ze did not say much.
After all, according to the procedure, the body of the unnatural death must be dissected and autopsyed, and the results will be available the next day. There is no need for Tang Ze to bring it up.
After all, this is purely empirical judgment, and there is no guarantee. Bringing it up will only make them think more, and there is absolutely no need for it.
Because of this case, Officer Memu and others from the Investigation Section 1 have not had a good rest for a long time. Let them have a good sleep today.
However, this sudden appearance of Wataru Aihara might actually be the murderer.
Thinking of Wataru Aihara's criminal analysis, Karasawa frowned subconsciously.
Because the other party's judgment was too accurate, even with Tang Ze's current professional skills, he did not dare to make such an accurate inference.
This is different from him discovering the crime pattern of the deceased. It is equivalent to directly profiling the age of the murderer after knowing that he is an arsonist. His habit is also
After recovering his thoughts, Karasawa started the car and said goodbye to Officer Megure and others and returned home.
Because it was very late, Tang Ze did not go to the master bedroom to sleep after arriving home, but slept in the guest room.
After sleeping until about ten o'clock, Karasawa got up, washed up, and went to the restaurant. He found that Ayako had left a note for him, with bread and milk beside it.
It seems that I bought it specially for him last night. I was afraid that I would go to bed too late the next day and be too lazy to start cooking and not eat, so I bought bread specially for him.
This was exactly what Karasawa wanted. After heating it in the microwave and filling his stomach with milk, he set off towards the scientific search and research.
Because it was already late at night when the crime occurred yesterday, it was naturally impossible to dissect the body overnight, so Aso was actually working when Karasawa arrived.
After reminding him to pay more attention to the cause of death, Tang Ze sat in the other party's office and waited patiently.
Not long after, Aso Minoru came over with the autopsy report.
"As expected, the deceased's condition was not caused by the impact of the car accident." Aso Minoru handed the autopsy report to Karasawa: "I'm afraid the deceased died when the car drove into the river."
"The cause of death was poisoning?"
Tang Ze looked at the list of stomach components in the autopsy report with a strange expression: "The poison is mushrooms?"
"Yes, it's mushrooms again." Aso shrugged helplessly, obviously a little speechless about this coincidence.
A murder case involving poisonous mushrooms was handled just two days ago, and the deceased under investigation today used poisonous mushrooms again. The use of poisonous mushrooms in these two consecutive cases made Tang Ze wonder whether the poisonous mushrooms are gradually replacing cyanide.
status.
Of course, the two of them were just complaining about each other. Naturally, there is no connection between the two cases.
After all, a case is a homicide but a manslaughter, and the circumstances of this case are not clear, so there is no way they are related.
But Tang Ze has already identified the murderer.
His intuition was indeed correct. No matter how upright and honorable the newcomers who appeared in the case were, there was a high chance that they would be involved in the case.
And because the only suspect in this case is himself, this time it is a simple question of proof.
He called Officer Memu and others to inform him of the autopsy report. Not long after, Officer Memu hurried over with his people.
"Brother Tang Ze, you just said that the prisoner did not die from trauma caused by a car accident. Is this true!?"
After Officer Megure saw Tangze, he didn't even have time to say hello and immediately started asking.
"Yes, deadly poisonous mushrooms were found in the stomach." Karasawa handed the autopsy report to Officer Megure.
After taking it, the other party looked at it and his face became solemn: "So, the case is not over yet?"
After all, it is impossible for a criminal who has been setting fires to retaliate against society to choose such a method to commit suicide, so there must be a hidden reason for the other party's death.
"Although it's not over yet, I have basically identified the murderer."
When Karasawa said this, he looked at Wataru Aihara who came with Officer Megure and others, smiled and said, "What I said is right, aren't I, Agent Aihara?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
When Officer Megure heard Karasawa's words, he looked in disbelief: "How could Brother Aihara be a criminal?"
"We all pay attention to evidence when investigating cases. Since Tangze Criminal suspects that I am a criminal, let me listen to your arguments."
Although he was clearly accused of being the murderer, Wataru Aihara did not show any anger at all. Instead, he looked like an outsider and asked Karasawa to explain his reasoning with a smile on his face.
"In that case, let's start from last night."
Karasawa said: "Although I already explained why the criminal appeared on the river bank yesterday, Aihara Criminal was not there yesterday, so I will explain it again.
In fact, if you carefully look at the crime scenes of many criminals, you can understand that the arson scene is the same as the constellation of Eridanus.
I have printed out this constellation chart in advance so you can compare it."
Taking the paper handed over by Karasawa, Officer Megure compared it and found that the patterns were indeed the same.
Although I heard Karasawa talking about it yesterday, I didn’t really feel it after all. Now that I saw the actual pattern, I couldn’t help but exclaimed.
"It's really the same!"
Officer Megure sighed, then looked at Tang Ze curiously and asked: "But yesterday I was curious, why did the prisoner use this constellation chart to commit crimes?
Is there any meaning behind this?”
"Actually, there's a sad story told about Eridanus."
Tangze said: "Once upon a time, there was a young man named Feton, who was the son of the sun god Apollo.
But Apollo didn't know that he had a son. When the two met, Apollo was very happy and hoped to love him well and make up for the other's lack of fatherly love.
But Feiton had no feelings for his father at all, and even made an unreasonable request to Fang Qi.
[If you are really my father, lend me the Sun Chariot!]
According to legend, Apollo's sun chariot had flaming wheels. Even Apollo found it difficult to drive it, let alone the completely inexperienced Phaidon.
But Phaedon insisted on borrowing it, and Apollo couldn't resist his son, so he had to agree.
But when the horses on the Sun Chariot realized that the person sitting on it was not Apollo, they immediately went crazy, causing the Sun Chariot to run wildly through the streets and set on fire.
Zeus, the omnipotent god who witnessed everything, rained down thunder from the sky and struck Feton into the Eridanais River, whereupon Feton drowned.
Later, the river became Eridanus."
"But what does this have to do with Brother Aihara?" Officer Megure asked in confusion.
"After learning the reason why the prisoner set the fire, I connected the case with him."
Karasawa looked at Aihara Wataru and said: "Agent Aihara, if my guess is correct, when you went to take a job at Meigui, your fiancée Xiaocai who broke up with you actually had your child, right?
Yesterday, after Officer Memu said that the boy's mother died in a car accident, I investigated the mother's identity and found that her name was also Xiaocai.
Now that I think about it, the boy who died yesterday was your son."
"What evidence do you have?"
Aihara Wataru's expression remained calm after hearing this: "In other words, I want to know why you linked the case to me?
Just because you heard my fiancée’s name from the Memu Police Department, and the mother of the boy who committed the crime who died was also named Xiaocai, do you think there is a connection between us?”
"yes."
Officer Megure nodded and said: "And even if the relationship between the two is confirmed through DNA comparison, how can we be sure that brother Aihara is related to the case?"
It's not that Officer Megure is protecting Wataru Aihara, but that's the fact.
Even if there is a father-son relationship between the two, there is no way to prove that there is a direct connection between the other party and the boy's death.
