But if that's the case, shouldn't there be signs of struggle?

You know, being burned by fire is a very painful thing, and when Koyanagizu Kiriko was dying, she didn't move at all, which was obviously a problem.

Now that he had doubts, all he had to do was to unravel these unnatural things at the crime scene and restore the truth of the case.

Because Inspector Megure is responsible for investigating the interpersonal relationships around Kiriko Koyanagizu to see if she has any grudges with anyone in life or work, there is naturally no need for Karasawa to conduct additional investigations in this regard.

So after reading the autopsy report, he took Naoki Kamii to the "El Electric" company where Kiriko Koyanagi worked.

.......

"A fire extinguisher?"

After meeting with Koyanagizu Kiriko's two subordinates and briefly introducing themselves, Tang Ze took the lead in asking about things he was concerned about.

"That's right. I wonder where the fire extinguisher is usually placed?" Tang Ze nodded and asked again.

"In the nearest corridor." Yamashita Jing, who wore glasses and had a flat head, replied.

"That's right."

Tang Ze nodded without saying anything else, then looked at the two of them and asked, "I wonder if Ms. Koyanagi has been any different lately?"

“Something different...”

Harada Shin, who looked younger, scratched his head and said, "Come to think of it, the president has always been the last to leave recently.

I take a taxi every night.”

"Every night?"

Hearing what Harada Makoto said, Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.

This is indeed a somewhat unusual thing. Maybe taking a taxi is not a big deal in other countries, but the cost of a taxi in Japan is very high.

Being able to take a taxi home every day can be considered a luxurious benefit for a company.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

After hearing what the man said, Naoki Kamii naturally realized that something was wrong, so he continued to ask, "Since you're back so late, you must be working overtime, right? What exactly do you do?"

"This...we don't understand the meaning either."

Yamashita Jing adjusted his glasses. "The union hasn't been that busy lately. We don't know why the president stays here every day..."

"Don't you come here often?" Tang Ze asked doubtfully.

"Because this is the union's office, we don't actually do our daily work here," Harada explained. "Normally, we only come here on Mondays."

"Is that so?" Tang Ze nodded and looked at the two of them. "Just in case, did you two come here yesterday?"

"No."

"I didn't come either."

The two men shook their heads, indicating that they went straight home after get off work and did not come to the guild.

"Is that so... But Ms. Koyanagi actually stays here every night..." Tang Ze paced back and forth, thinking: "What on earth does she do...?"

"Maybe as the union president, there are things she has to deal with that only she can handle." Harada Makoto said.

"Guild President..." Tang Ze muttered, then looked at the two of them and said, "Do you have any promotional materials about Ms. Koyanagi? I'd like to read them."

"some."

Yamashita nodded and said, "I'll get it. Harada, please take the two detectives to the visiting room first. It's not very nice to keep standing here..."

"I understand, Senior Yamashita." Young Harada Shin nodded and extended his hand to the two men, saying, "Please follow me."

The three of them came to the reception room from the blackened union office that was burned out. Seeing that everything was decorated as usual, the inexplicable feeling of depression they had felt before also dissipated a lot from their hearts.

Harada Makoto looked much more relaxed. It was obvious that talking at the crime scene was still a bit stressful for ordinary people, especially when the other party was an acquaintance.

But this is human nature.

"That's it."

The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a few minutes before Yamashita Jing handed them a company brochure.

Because the other party had already turned to the page where Ms. Koyanagi was, Tang Ze took it and read the information in the manual easily.

Of course, this was not Tang Ze's purpose in asking for the manual. He just wanted to use it to make the two of them reveal more information.

"It says here that Ms. Koyanagi nominates herself as a candidate?"

Tang Ze looked at the information and found a point to start a conversation.

"Because President Koyanagi has a strong sense of justice," Harada Shin smiled. "She also has strong execution abilities and is known as the 'Iron Lady.'"

"Maybe it's because I'm still single, so I don't have any burden." Yamashita Ichi said this and he and Harada Shin smiled at each other, as if the mention of this itself was something that would make people smile.

"I'm 42 years old this year, but I've never been married." Naoki Kamii looked at the information in his hand and read it out: "This is really..."

"Actually, this is well known in the company." Yamashita Jing smiled and said, "It seems like he's been going on a blind date recently."

"Blind date?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows: "At her age..."

Tang Ze deliberately did not finish his words, but left the second half. This open-ended topic will also allow the other party to say what he wants to say.

As expected, Harada Shin laughed when he heard what Tang Ze said, "I heard that President Koyanagi had no such idea at first, but was later persuaded by the company's people."
