Tang Ze: Detectives can only follow the culprit's footsteps to catch them, but I can rely on knowledge to foresee the future and prevent cases!
Conan: It seems I need to go to Hawaii for ...
When he saw the word "death", Tang Zexian knew about this case, the case that he remembered.
The case that was born out of coincidence happened again by coincidence ten years later.
"Because of this word, the girl believed it was the deceased's last words and was convinced it was a murder case."
Seeing Tang Ze looking at the word "death" in deep thought, the fat man beside him said, "Takashi's wallet was also stolen, and I heard them say it seems to be related to a case ten years ago..."
"Well, it's about the case of Mr. Yusaku's withdrawal." Tang Ze smiled and looked at Inspector Megure.
"Brother Tang Ze, you know this too." Inspector Megure said in surprise.
"After all, he's the famous Kudo Yusaku. I've researched the case and read the files in my spare time."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "This case is a theft case, right?"
"Ah, I'm afraid that's the case." Inspector Megure nodded and said, "I think so too."
"Wait, Officer, this isn't right!"
Hearing what the two said, the thin young man beside them couldn't help but get anxious: "Isn't this a murder case?
If Gao Shi died of illness, why would he leave a death message?!"
"Yes, and isn't this related to the murder case ten years ago!?" The fat man with a flat head next to him also echoed.
"We also thought that the case ten years ago was a murder, but after Yusaku's investigation and reasoning, we finally determined that it was not a homicide."
Inspector Megure shook his head and began to slowly tell the truth about the previous case that also involved the word "death".
Ten years ago, the principal of a kindergarten tripped over a stone slab in the park and fell to the ground. The fish tank in his arms broke and pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries.
The deceased was discovered by a child in kindergarten. It was because of the child's unexpected behavior that the word "death" appeared in blood next to the deceased's hand.
After discovering the dead body, the child thought that the director was dead, so he placed a bouquet of flowers and six coins for crossing the Sanzu River next to the dead body.
The reason why the child behaved like this was actually a custom derived from the legend in Japan.
In Chinese mythology, there is the Naihe Bridge and Mengpo Soup stationed next to the Wangchuan River, so when you get there, you can just drink the soup and be reincarnated.
But the Sanzu River in Neon is different. Not only is there no Meng Po next to it, but there is a Duoyi Po who buys people's money on the road.
According to Japanese legend, if the deceased is not allowed to hold six coins, the clothes on the deceased will be taken away by the clothes-snatching woman who stays by the Sanzu River.
Not only that, he will fall into hell and will no longer be able to cross the Sanzu River to the other side.
So this evolved into placing six coins next to the deceased so that they would fall into hell when crossing the Sanzu River.
It stands to reason that a five-year-old child would not know the legend of the "Sanzu River" or even know what memorial ceremonies need to be performed when someone dies.
But the child happened to have grown up in a temple and had heard about this from his elders, so he hurriedly placed the offering next to the headmaster and covered it with the offering bouquet to prevent the six coins from being stolen.
Of course, the child couldn't carry six cents with him, so he used candy rings as a substitute and placed them next to the deceased's hand, and then placed a bouquet of flowers to cover it.
The blood then flowed through the base of the thumb and index finger, contaminating the candy and bouquet of flowers at hand, and finally quietly formed the word "death".
"The reason why Mr. Yusaku quit was because of that child, right?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "If the truth is revealed in public, it will have a very bad impact on the child.
His peers would also look at him strangely, so in order to avoid this, Mr. Yusaku withdrew from the search.
But in reality, he secretly told the police the truth about the case and also told the child not to tell anyone about his actions."
"Yes, that was the truth ten years ago."
Inspector Megure said this while looking at the blood writing on the deceased's hand: "As for the blood writing in today's case, I guess it was caused by a similar situation.
After all, the deceased came to buy beer before dying, and he probably had coins in his hand. Combined with this cigarette, it's not impossible that the word "blood" was created by coincidence again."
"It is indisputable that the deceased died of illness, so there is no possibility of murder."
Tang Ze looked at the two of them and said, "The other person's wallet was probably taken by someone passing by. Coupled with the blood text, it made the short-haired girl you met earlier think it was a murder case."
"In other words, this is a theft case?" The fat man with a flat head and his companion looked at each other and finally accepted the police's judgment.
"Anyway, let's arrest and interrogate the guy who took the deceased's wallet first."
Inspector Megure said, "Catching them will allow us to further confirm the situation. Although there are previous examples in this case, we still cannot be careless."
"But it's a bit tricky to find the guy who took the dead man's wallet."
Gao Mu looked around and said, “There are no cameras in this alley, so it won’t be easy to find the guy who took the deceased’s wallet.
All we can do is look for the nearest street intersection camera, then investigate passersby from the time of the deceased's death to see if we can identify the culprit."
"Well...even though the deceased has been dead for nine hours, it's late at night after all, so the number of people shouldn't be too large."
