After figuring out the outline of the case, Tang Ze decided to go and check the crime scene first.

With Natasha driving, the two soon arrived at the door of the villa.

And here, Tang Ze met Rika Akaname, the central figure in the case.

Although the information shows that she is only 30 years old, when you see her in person, she looks like a girl in her twenties.

But compared to a young girl, her eyes and eyebrows are more charming, making her look intellectual and mature, which is unique to a queen.

"I didn't expect to see such friendly faces in a foreign country." Akaname Rika looked at Tang Ze and smiled.

"I'm sorry to meet you on this occasion."

After revealing her purpose, she found that Tang Ze was not as wary as one might imagine. Rika Akaname welcomed him and invited him into the villa with a warm attitude.

Walking into the villa, the prosperous European style of the room made Tang Ze seem to have walked into a castle of the last century.

The luxurious style is amazing, and the warm colors and the carefully cared-for flower arrangements around it give the whole room a light sense of warmth.

However, Tang Ze still noticed keenly that there was no photo in the room.

If you think about it, it seems natural. If it was a loved one, the photo of the deceased husband would definitely be placed in a place where it can be seen everywhere.

But in this situation... I guess Rika Akaname doesn't even want to see the other person's face.

After some greetings, Tang Ze left Aisha to deal with Akaname Rika, and met the maid and asked about the situation again.

As for this information, Tang Ze would rather listen to the person involved in person than listen to the transcript. Maybe there will be some new discoveries.

When Tang Ze walked into the kitchen, he found that it was just as luxurious.

The whole kitchen is very large, like the back kitchen of a restaurant, with ovens, bread toasters and other kitchen utensils for making dishes placed here.

The maid was busy preparing lunch. Seeing this, Tang Ze simply rolled up his sleeves and joined the kitchen, helping to process the ingredients while asking questions.

"I was roasting beef for dinner, and my lady was entertaining Miss Aisha." The maid replied to Tang Ze's question.

"When was Imagawa ware made?" asked Tang Ze.

"It was today. While I was making roast beef, Madam made Imagawa yaki to entertain Miss Essa."

The maid thought for a moment and replied, "It was Miss Aisha who helped put the snacks and the lady on the snack tray."

"Oh, I see. Thank you."

Tang Ze nodded, basically ruling out the possibility that the other party had put poison in the snacks before making them.

Otherwise, Akaname Rika would not have asked Aisha to help so easily. After all, if they looked the same, it would be troublesome to sneak in.

At least it is impossible to put poison behind this batch of Imagawa ware. As for whether there was any Imagawa ware prepared in advance, Tang Ze did not get an answer after asking the maid.

As for asking Akaname Rika, there is no way she would get an answer.

Afterwards, Tang Ze asked some trivial details, such as what her husband had for dinner and how much roast beef was cooked that day.

After asking these questions that seemed more like everyday gossip to the maid, Tang Ze thanked her and left the kitchen.

"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Rika Akaname looked at Tang Ze who was walking over with a faint smile, as if she was an outsider who had nothing to do with it.

"Well... we all know the situation." Tang Ze laughed and waved his hand helplessly, signaling Natasha to get up and leave.

"Ah, why don't you stay a little longer? It's rare to meet someone from the same hometown."

"No, maybe next time." Tang Ze bowed slightly and turned to go out.

When I reached the yard and was ready to go out.

Tang Ze seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He suddenly turned to look at Akaname Rika and said with some regret: "By the way, Imagawa ware, that one is delicious. I like matcha flavor, but it's a pity that we can't have it here in England."

"ah?"

Akaname Rika was stunned by what Karasawa said, but then a smile appeared on her face. "If you don't mind, Karasawa-san, before you finish your training, come here and have some Imagawa yaki that I made."

"Oh, is that okay?" Tang Ze said with a slightly embarrassed look, bowing slightly to express his gratitude. "Thank you so much for the trouble."

"You're welcome. When you're out, you'll start to crave home-cooked food." Rika Akaname said with a smile.

"But... Imagawa yaki won't taste good once it cools down," Tang Ze said regretfully. "Cold Imagawa yaki loses its flavor completely. It's hard and tastes terrible."

"Don't worry, there's an oven in the house." Rika Akaname replied with a smile.

"Speaking of which, when your husband, Mr. Ace, came down that day, did you heat it up as well?" Tang Ze said with a smile, "I asked the maid, and she said you started baking the Imagawa yaki quite early, didn't you?"

"Well, of course it's heated up." Akaname Rika said with a smile on her face, her expression unchanged.

"But I remember the maid roasted the beef in the oven, right?"

Tang Ze said with a hint of ulterior motive, "I heard that there was quite a lot of roast beef that day. They cooked a lot at once, and the maid even used the oven to heat it up. I don't think she could have heated up the Imagawa yaki at that time, right?"

"Yes, I heated it up in a toaster."

Facing Tang Ze's sudden attack, Akaname Rika smiled a little unnaturally and said, "Tang Ze-san should have seen it in the kitchen before. The toaster uses that to heat bread."

"Ah, I see." Tang Ze smiled meaningfully, "That... is very useful."

"Yeah, it's really useful." Akaname Rika echoed and laughed.

"Sorry to bother you then."

Tang Ze politely said goodbye to Akaname Rika again and turned to leave.

"Mr. Tang Ze, I don't know what the point of coming here is?"

Natasha's face was filled with confusion. "The questions you asked Miss Akaname are all in the transcript. I don't think you can get any key clues from the maid. We've asked her several times, and her answers are always the same."

"Sorry, sometimes I just really care about details. As for the key clues... I'll keep them secret for now."

Tang Ze chuckled and didn't answer her question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, where does the mayor live? I want to visit Miss Aisha again."

"Pretending..."

Natasha muttered to herself, but her hands did not stop moving and she started the car.

After all, in order to shirk responsibility, the colleagues asked Natasha, who had the advantage of being a woman, to accompany Tang Ze to investigate the case, so naturally they had to follow the other party's wishes and let the other party complete the investigation of the case.

Otherwise, if the other party stops investigating the case, they won’t be able to shirk responsibility later.

Although she didn't want to waste any more time, Natasha had no choice but to fasten her seat belt and step on the accelerator to drive towards the center of the town.
