After searching for clues in the lighting room, Tang Ze called Ayako and the other two who were waiting on the sofa in the lobby to leave the hotel and prepare to send them home.

On the way to the parking lot, Tangze and Conan deliberately slowed down their pace, falling behind Ayako and the others, and told Conan the clues they found in the light room.

What Tang Ze didn't expect was that Conan also gained something.

While waiting in the hall outside the banquet, Conan saw President Ishimoto's secretary, Sachiko Tanaka, meeting with a strange long-haired man.

This happened shortly after President Ishimoto was assassinated, but Sachiko Tanaka avoided everyone and met with the other party, which made Conan suspect that there was something hidden in this.

"At this moment, we can't confirm the relationship between the two, or whether it's related to the case." Conan stroked his chin and pondered, "But I think this is something worth noting, and the design of the lighting room..."

"Okay, forget about it, let's go." Tang Ze grabbed Conan and said, "Don't you see they are both waiting for us?"

He trotted to the car, and after the three of them got in, Tang Ze started the car and prepared to take Ayako and the other two home.

It is worth mentioning that although Ayako was a little frightened at the banquet, she calmed down after being comforted by Xiaolan.

Moreover, Tang Ze's subconscious protection of her at that time also warmed her heart.

So before going home, Ayako smiled and cheered Tang Ze on, which made Tang Ze feel a lot more relieved.

As for Xiaolan...

Emmm…

She was used to encountering this kind of thing with her father and her boyfriend, the god of death. When she got out of the car to say goodbye to Ayako and the others, she pulled Conan upstairs with a relaxed look on her face.

There's absolutely no pressure at all. It's just a small matter for Mr. Lan. His mental recovery speed is at the MAX level.

I yell, but there is really no psychological shadow at all. I yell mainly to attract people, and everything will be fine after I yell.

By the time Tang Ze sent the three people away and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, it was already very late.

The city outside had fallen silent. When Tang Ze parked the car and entered the office, it was extremely busy and it was impossible to tell that it was already midnight.

People were coming and going in the office, all of them looked serious, their hands were constantly moving, and they would occasionally look for someone to connect with and talk to.

Because it is a shooting case, the situation is serious and the police cannot allow a dangerous person with a gun to roam around, so the case cannot be investigated leisurely until tomorrow.

What's more, the deceased was a famous congressman. Assassinating a congressman is a big event that will shock the entire society. There is no doubt that the news headlines tomorrow will be all about this matter, and the police will face tremendous pressure at that time.

Now we are racing against time. The sooner the case is concluded, the quicker the storm can be quelled.

Tang Ze naturally couldn't just sit there idle, so he took some information and joined in.

This is nothing more than investigating the files of people with criminal records and comparing them with the people in the photos.

This is hard work, at least now it is a hard work that requires time.

In this day and age, inputting information or photos into a computer and expecting the system to automatically scan it for you and search for ex-convicts in the comparison database is really too much to hope for, it is just a daydream.

There is no way. Technology cannot keep up at the moment. Tang Ze bought the mobile phone a while ago. It will probably take some time before he can expect the convenient "automatic comparison" in the future.

After staying up all night searching through files and doing hard physical labor, he finally paid off when he matched the person in the photo with a person with an ex-con.

Everyone was cheered up when they heard the news. They felt that all their hard work for half the night had paid off. If it had all been in vain, it would have been heartbreaking.

The suspect is named Shiro Hiraoka, 35 years old, and has a long criminal record.

He specialized in digging out the secrets of large companies and then extorting huge amounts of hush money from them.

It is said in the yakuza that Shiro Hiraoka is a guy who will not stop until he gets something for nothing. If he comes across someone who can make money, he will hold on to him and never let him go. He even has a nickname called "Piranha Hiraoka".

"If that's the case, then it seems President Ishimoto isn't as clean as he claims." Tang Ze said playfully, "He claims it's impossible for him to offend anyone, but flies don't bite seamless eggs."

"Ah, I'm afraid President Ishimoto was caught by Hiraoka and is being threatened by him." Inspector Megure nodded thoughtfully and said, "Judging from President Ishimoto's personality, I'm afraid he won't pay any attention to him.

After becoming angry and humiliated, he decided to take revenge, so that’s why he committed the murder before…”

Tang Ze frowned when he heard this. Although it made sense on the surface, it might not be as simple as he thought.

Furthermore, since Shiro Hiraoka is a habitual criminal with a long criminal record, he is naturally experienced and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

If he really killed someone when he met one who refused him, he would have become a murderer long ago and would not be able to live as freely as he does now.

The more these habitual criminals who rely on their brains, the more they value their lives. It is impossible for them to give up just because a business deal fails.

Considering the various clues he obtained after investigating the lighting room, Hiraoka Shiro seemed more like a deception.

However, these are just speculations. I believe that after arresting Shiro Hiraoka, I may be able to get more concrete statements from him.

After finding out the information about Shiro Hiraoka, Megure immediately began the arrest operation.

Groups of people searched for the possible hiding places of Shiro Hiraoka, and police vehicles sped through the night.

But when we waited until the next morning, we heard something unexpected.

Hiraoka Shiro is dead!

In the building where he was hiding, he accidentally stepped on empty space and rolled down the stairs and fell to his death.

After examining the fatal injury, it was determined that the death was caused by a severe blow to the head.

At the same time, the pistol used to assassinate the congressman was found on the other party's body.

In this case, it seems that the evidence is conclusive and it has been confirmed that Shiro Hiraoka is the murderer of Congressman Takata.

At the same time, with his death, the case seemed to have come to an end.

But the more this happened, the deeper the doubts in Tang Ze's heart became.

Because all of this is just too much of a coincidence, the possibility of it being a trick is even greater!!

So after receiving the news of Hiraoka Shiro's death, Tang Ze rushed to the scene immediately, in order to find evidence that could prove that all this was a trick set up by the real murderer! !

Before the crime happened, Hiraoka was lured to the lighting room by the real murderer as a scapegoat.

Then when the congressman died, he should have realized that he had fallen into a trap - he was framed by the real criminal as the murderer of the congressman.

In this case, he should have gone to get evidence that would prove his innocence in order to protect himself!!
