Some things really can't stand nagging.

Tang Ze had just finished speaking when they walked more than ten meters and some traces similar to those left by high heels stepping on the soil appeared on the ground in front of them.

"Is this... footprints?"

“I didn’t expect it really existed!”

In response to the sighs of Shihuayuan and the other man, Tang Ze did not agree. Instead, after initially determining the possibility that this was a crime scene, he activated his super sense of smell.

If there are only footprints, it doesn’t mean anything. After all, they could just be the footprints of a passerby. But if bloodstains are found, then this must be the crime scene.

After all, considering the heavy blow to Keiko Teraizumi's head, it would be strange if there was no blood splatter at the crime scene.

The full activation of the super sense of smell amplified the surrounding smells. The fresh air of the forest mixed with the smell of the ground soil and entered the nasal cavity. Among this fresh smell, a hint of pungent bloody smell seemed so abrupt.

“Found it!”

Tang Ze half-knelt beside the footprints, and with his gloved hands, he dug at the ground covered with fallen leaves for a while, and finally found a leaf with blood stains on the back.

"So this is the real crime scene?" Gao Mu looked at the dense forest surrounding him and quickly took out his phone. "I'll contact the forensic department right away."

"Well, let them come and protect this place first."

Tang Ze took off his left glove, took out the evidence bag from his trouser pocket, and placed the blood-stained leaf in it. "Compare this bloodstain with Ms. Teraizumi Keiko's bloodstain. If they match, then this is definitely the crime scene."

"It's a pity that the murder weapon seems to have been taken away." Looking around the surrounding environment, Tang Ze was not too disappointed. After all, the person who left the murder weapon behind was too small.

However, this search was not without results. When looking at a tree nearby, Tang Ze's keen insight quickly screened out something that was somewhat out of tune with the environment.

"Is this... a button?"

Seeing Tang Ze picking up the object in his palm, Gao Mu was a little surprised and asked, "Could this be something left by the criminal?"

"Well... at least the chances of it falling from Teraizumi Keiko are slim."

With his powerful memory, Tang Ze recalled the clothes that Keiko Teraizumi was wearing, but he did not find that the skirt she was wearing had such button decorations.

But Sihuayuan on the side did not say anything. She looked at the button in Tang Ze's hand, her dark eyes became deep, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"What should we do next?!" After discovering important clues one after another, Takagi asked excitedly.

"Well, as for the general direction of the search, I suggest starting with those who have grudges against Teraizumi Keiko." Tang Ze replied, "Right now, it seems the possibility of a vendetta is still very high."

"Eh? A vendetta?" Takagi was stunned. "Why? Detective Tang Ze, do you suspect those two women who came here yesterday to cause trouble?"

Takagi had already been told about the whole story between the deceased and Shikain, as well as the whole story of Miura Miyako and the other person causing trouble yesterday.

However, Tang Ze did not judge based on this.

After all, although the two had many conflicts with the deceased and said some very dangerous things yesterday, they are indeed the focus of investigation, but preconceived suspicions are a taboo in the search.

What really made him conclude that this might be a vendetta was the environment.

"Environment?" Gao Mu looked at the dense forest around him, which was rarely visited by people, and asked curiously, "Is there anything strange here?"

"Don't forget, Teraizumi Keiko is a woman. Most women would not go to such a place alone." Tang Ze reminded with a smile.

"Ah!" Takagi suddenly realized after hearing Tang Ze's reminder: "So Miss Teraizumi came here to meet someone she knows!?

In this case, the possibility that the criminal is an acquaintance is indeed very high!"

At this point, Takagi scratched his head and said, "Although I don't have any preconceived notions, if we're investigating in the direction of revenge, Miss Miura Miyako and the other two are the most likely suspects."

After all, the two sides know each other, although they have a grudge against each other. But precisely because of this, in order to resolve the harassment from Miura Miyako and the other, Teraizumi Keiko is very likely to choose to go on a date with the two of them.

No matter from which starting point, Miura Miyako and the other person do have strong motives.

"Shiratori and Chiba have already set out to find the two people. I believe they will be brought back for questioning soon. What should we do? Should we go back and interrogate them?" Takagi asked.

"Take them back for questioning? That's exactly what we should do... After all, the two of them are clearly highly suspicious..."

Tang Ze touched his chin and said, "And the timing is a bit too coincidental. It's hard not to connect this case with the case a year ago."

However, limiting the suspects to just those two people is a very dangerous thing.

Also, something Ms. Teraizumi said yesterday really concerned me..."

"Eh? What is it?" Takagi asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"Now is not the time to speak out."

Tang Ze glanced at Sihuayuan, who had been silent since just now, and turned to look at him and said, "That's enough, you should go back."

Upon hearing this, Sihuayuan did not insist any further, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Leave."

Looking at Shihuayuan's departing figure, after searching the suspected crime scene again without any results, Tangze told Takagi to get up and leave.

"Eh? So where are we going now? Go back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau to find Miura Miyako and the others?" Takagi saw Tang Ze walking out and hurriedly followed him and asked.

"No, let's go to Teraizumi Keiko's house."

Karasawa handed the two pieces of evidence, the blood-stained leaves and the button, to Uncle Tomi who had rushed over to protect the scene, and then drove to Keiko Teraizumi's apartment with Takagi.

After showing their ID and explaining the situation, they arrived at the apartment where Keiko Teraizumi lived. They followed the usual procedure, notified the landlord and got the key, and the two of them successfully entered each other's room.

When they entered the room, their first impression was cleanliness.

This apartment is completely different from the homes of the two sloppy women in the case that Tang Ze had encountered before, it can even be said to be the complete opposite.

"It's strange. This room doesn't have anything it should have."

Tang Ze said this after looking around in the tidy living room.

"Eh? What?" Takagi, who was looking at the room, was confused when he heard this. "Karaze-kun, it seems like you just scanned the room... Is there something wrong?"

"It's because I stood in the center and checked the surroundings that I discovered that there is a sense of disharmony in this room as a whole." Tang Ze said with a smile.

"Then what's gone missing?" Officer Takagi looked around curiously and said, "It doesn't look strange."

"No, didn't you notice?" Tang Ze pointed to the desk next to him, "There's a computer missing there."
