Some time ago, an unemployed middle-aged social worker wanted to jump off a building, and he was very determined. He jumped off the building before the rescue team arrived.
At that time, there was only one person nearby who rushed over from the police box after receiving the alarm. Under normal circumstances, except for persuasion, he was really useless.
Just because the other person wants to commit suicide, you can't be the first to shoot and kill the other person to prevent him from going to hell...
However, the area he was in happened to be equipped with a "portable emergency pad", which made him, who could only talk nonsense, the key to the rescue.
With the help of the equipment, he successfully saved the opponent's life and made a great contribution.
It was with this actual case that various departments began to pay attention to this newly developed equipment.
Now that the trial period has long expired, various departments are waiting for mass production and widespread use.
As the only manufacturer, Karasawa's company naturally has a hard time getting orders.
Likewise, Dr. Ali, as the copyright owner, will naturally receive dividends.
As two people working together, there is no need to calculate the small sums of money when going out so clearly.
After all, Tang Ze, who is not short of money, and Dr. Ali, who is also a wealthy man...
Now there is no shortage of money!
After getting the telescope, the little ones excitedly discussed going to the hillside to watch the stars. They even sat up and dreamed of discovering a new comet.
However, Karasawa refused to go to the hillside with them, and stayed in the hotel on the pretext of taking a rest.
But looking at the meaningful looks in Conan and Haibara's eyes, he knew that he had not hidden anything from them.
But there is no need to hide it. The two of them now at most think that he is going to investigate the disappearance of Asao Kawasaki, and they will not think that he is already planning how to prevent the case.
After asking the boss, he already learned that apart from them, the three people who just appeared were all the guests in the hotel.
In other words, the scope of suspects has been determined.
Judging from the current situation, it is a case of choosing one of the classic four.
They have all been locked in at this point, so Tang Ze naturally has to investigate carefully.
And it's not just for investigation, he stays here to prevent sudden murders.
So whether it was to investigate or prevent a murder, Tangze had a reason to stay.
After the participants in the case appeared one after another, Tang Ze also obtained some key clues.
It is basically certain that this case is related to Xingxing. To be precise, it is related to the interests of discovering Xingxing.
So Tangze also collected key information from their conversations and sorted it out.
First of all, apart from the suspicious fact that the missing Asao Kawaboshi sent invitations to everyone, the most noteworthy thing is Heihachi Gogami.
There's nothing much to say about Kawasaki Asao, most likely he got a lunch box.
The person who sent the invitation letter may be the murderer, or he may know the truth and come to seek revenge. I won't go into too much detail here.
Among the four suspects present at the scene, based on the intelligence compiled previously, Karasawa was most suspicious of Heihachi Gogami, who had discovered the comet.
Well, it's because the other party has discovered a comet, so he is currently listed as the first investigation target in the next plan by Karasawa.
Don’t you think it’s a little ridiculous?
Although this may seem like an achievement, a little more impressive than others, generally speaking, this is a good thing...
but!!
In Ke Xue's case, this kind of person is actually dangerous.
Because once it intersects with achievements, fame and wealth, it is easy to become dirty, and simply put, it is easy to have murderous motives.
Especially when someone is missing, Tang Ze has even figured out how the other party killed people, buried their bodies, and seized the opportunity to discover the comet...
Although it makes no sense, it is very "scientific".
At present, the one who has interests entangled with the other party is Gogami Heihachi.
Based on the judgment of Tang Ze, the "Leader of Ke Xue", in this case, there is a high probability that the other party will act as a prisoner or a victim...
As for Nonomiya Etsuko, who may have emotional entanglements, she ranked second in the investigation, and there is a high chance that the other party will become an Avenger.
It's just that the premise is to let the other party know everything, and now it's a case of acting for the sake of revenge later.
However, according to Tangze's previous observations, the other party was indeed showing his true feelings and was indeed drunk. The possibility of committing a crime at night is very small...
Of course, there are cases where revenge fails and someone is killed instead, but generally the chance is not high.
In terms of degree of suspicion, the other party is as suspicious as Gogami Heihachi.
As for the boss Tiantu Lingji, he is temporarily ranked third because he occupies a good location but has no motivation, while Futakawa Hajime is in last place.
As for why Gogami Heihachi was listed as the first target despite the same level of suspicion...
Because Nonomiya Etsuko is a woman, Karasawa is not easy to contact and investigate, so we can only choose Gogami Heihachi first!
Well, it's that simple.
After all, it's really hard for Karasawa, a young man, to go to a drunk woman's room, right?
But it's different if the other party is a man. It's still easier to visit him at home.
The investigation method is also very simple. You just need to secretly check whether the other party has any murder weapons.
Whether it's a knife or poison, they all have some smell to them. As long as it's confirmed, it's a sure thing.
As for what to do if four people have been screened but nothing was found...
Then he can only take one step at a time. After all, he is just a mortal who has received a "criminal notice", and there is no guarantee that he will be able to successfully prevent the case.
Even if he has to use the precious tool "Lie Detection Needle" and the reward is reduced, as long as there is a slight chance, he will not give up easily!
Although the props are valuable, in terms of maximizing profits, it is in your best interests not to waste the only two "Lie Detection Needles" when you are not sure.
However, some things are not calculated this way, and human life does not need to be measured by dead objects.
If there was a chance to prevent the tragedy from happening, but Tang Ze did not commit the murder for the sake of profit, then to a certain extent, what is the difference between him and an accomplice?
Although he didn't know much about it, and even the order of suspects was decided arbitrarily after a hasty summary based on "Ke Xue's Law", Tang Ze's execution ability was still worthy of him.
After Dr. Agasa and Miyano Akemi left with a few babies, the four suspects each began to do their own things.
Nonomiya Etsuko sat on the open-air balcony and continued to drink wine alone, while the boss Tendo Reiji was packing things at the front desk.
But after a while, Tiantu Lingsi seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly ran out with a telescope part.
As for the targets, Heihachinori Gogami and Haginori Futakawa were wandering around outside the house, and soon they returned to their rooms to rest.
This saves trouble. If they never plan to go up, Tangze will take the risk and try his lock-picking skills.
Now he only needs to knock on the door one by one. Anyway, he only needs to enter the room briefly, and after a while he can initially inspect the items the other party is carrying.
The remaining two suspects could not harm each other because one was downstairs and the other went to see Dr. Ali. In other words, Tangze was safe as long as he watched the situation between the two above.
After thinking for a while, Karasawa knocked on Gogami Heihachi's door with an invitation to play cards.
"Playing cards? Still not working. I want to take a rest before eating."
Gogami Heihachi, who was blocking the door with his body, politely refused and wanted to close the door.
But the other party finally opened the door. Why did Tangze let him close it so easily? He leaned on the door that was about to close and smiled: "Mr. Gogami, I heard that you also received the invitation letter. I wonder if you can let me see it."
What’s the content?”
"Ah? Mine is the same as Futakawa's." Gogami Heihachi said strangely: "The format and content are the same, there's nothing interesting about it, right?"
"I just want to see if there are any rules or special places. It's just a bit of curiosity on my part."
Tang Ze smiled sheepishly and said, "To be honest, I am also a mystery fan. When I encounter an invitation letter from a missing person, I will inevitably be a little curious..."
"What a weirdo...just leave as soon as you finish reading it!"
Gogami Heihachi was a little reluctant to resist, but as the saying goes, "Don't hit the smiling person", he finally turned around and walked into the room, heading towards the place where the invitations were stored.
Tangze, on the other hand, immediately followed the other person into the room after he opened the door.
As soon as you step into the door, your sense of smell is fully activated in an instant, and all the smells in the room enter your nasal cavity as you inhale.
After various smells enter the nasal cavity, they are directly transmitted to the fast-running brain, and then the names of the various items represented by the smells begin to flash through Karasawa's brain.
Soot, shampoo, sweat smell...
The smell full of life in the room kept coming, and those unpleasant smells were constantly dismissed and denied by Tang Ze. He constantly filtered the smell in the room, looking for possible dangerous items.
Suddenly, a strange smell began to occupy most of Tang Ze's sense of smell.
Is this...the taste of lime?
When Tang Ze identified the source of the smell, a trace of doubt emerged in his heart.
No matter how you think about it, Lime is not a good choice for killing people, right?
It’s not like the other party changed his job and became a thief, so he started by sprinkling lime on his hands...
It's just that this item, which he would not normally carry, really caught Tang Ze's attention and vigilance.
And because Tangze had already walked into the room with the other party at this time, he first glanced at the source where he had just smelled the lime stored by the other party, and then began to look at the environment of the room.
"Well, that's it. I think it's just a very ordinary standard invitation letter. There's really nothing interesting about it."
Gogami Heihachi handed over an invitation letter and said impatiently: "Let's go quickly after reading. I have to wait for a rest. After dinner, I have to observe the stars."
"I'm really sorry to bother you."
Tangze smiled apologetically, and while taking the invitation letter from the other party, he pretended to look at it carefully, while skipping the direction of the source of the lime and using his sense of smell to check other items in the room.
And his first target is the other party’s luggage bag!
After taking a look around the room just now, he noticed the luggage bag that the other party had thrown on the stool against the wall. Under the cover of looking at the invitation letter, he took two seemingly casual steps closer.
Even though there is a zipper between them, when Karasawa focuses on a certain item, this nominative aspect is nothing to him.
Soon the various items carried in the luggage bag were passed around.
The next moment, Tang Ze's face immediately turned serious, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes.
He smelled gunpowder!
Even masked by the mixed smell of toiletries, the dangerous smell did not escape his sense of smell.
He didn't expect that by following "Ke Xue's" analysis, he could directly screen out the prisoners, and it was a real-life situation that could not be more real-life.
He had previously thought that the other party might bring knives, poison, or tools such as iron rods, or even some unusual items as killing tools, but he did not expect that the other party would directly bring firearms.
But this really saves trouble. After all, once this thing appears, you can basically directly confirm the possibility that he is the culprit.
It was in vain that he had made so many response plans for this upcoming murder case. Who knew that the other party didn't even use the first plan and fell directly on the preliminary investigation...
Gogami Heihachi: MMP! No, this is not a reasoning! There is not a single reasoning in the whole process, it is all based on blindness!!
Karasawa: Sorry, my high-dimensional reasoning that breaks the "fourth wall" is based on the "rules of science" summarized by observing various rules that occur in cases around the world. How can I be a mortal like you?
Can be understood.
In this case, just rely on "Ke Xue's Law" to screen out the approximate suspects, and then only need to conduct actual verification.
But who told you to be too naive and choose the killing method that I restrained the most?
Thinking about it, if Gogami Heihachi knew how he was exposed, I am afraid that apart from saying MMP, he would only blame himself for not studying enough...
Of course, on the surface, Tangze still didn't react at all and remained calm.
"I've finished reading. Thank you very much." Karasawa smiled politely and handed the invitation letter back to Gogami Heihachi: "I'm really sorry to bother you."
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Hearing Karasawa's honorific and polite attitude, Gogami Heihachi's attitude became better and he couldn't help but ask.
"We haven't found it yet." Tang Ze pretended to be regretful and shook his head: "I thought there were some clues at first, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary invitation letter."
"I just said it's useless." Gogami Heihachi smiled slightly disdainfully and said: "Futakawa and I have already read each other's invitation letters. If we find anything, we will have discovered it a long time ago."
"That's right." Tang Ze nodded in agreement and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. It would be rude to come and disturb you."
"It's nothing." Gogami Heihachi said as he opened the door: "Then I will rest. See you later."
"Well, I hope we can have a pleasant chat next time." Karasawa smiled meaningfully and left Gogami Heihachi's room.
