When he broke into the house to check, he didn't find anyone inside. So the only possibility was that the house was locked from the inside.
In this case, under the current circumstances, only the dead can do it.
After finishing speaking, Qianye looked at Tang Ze for his opinion and said, "I plan to investigate along the lines of suicide due to debt for the time being. What do you think, Detective Tang Ze?"
"Detective Chiba, I want to ask you something." Tang Ze pointed to a white curtain that was blown by the wind from the balcony and said, "Did you pull this curtain up, or was it like that when you entered the room?"
"It was like this when I entered the house."
Qianye said confidently, "When the landlord brought the room key, I opened the door. Although the door chain prevented me from entering, I was able to see the curtains blown up by the wind through the tiny gap."
After explaining what he saw at the time, Qianye couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Detective Tang Ze? Is there something wrong?"
"Something is wrong."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "If someone wants to commit suicide, will they go out to the balcony and close the curtains?"
Tang Ze pretended to open the curtains and walk towards the balcony, then looked at Qianye and said, "Generally speaking, the curtains on the balcony are only used in one direction.
Basically, I want to take a rest, and because the light in the room is too glaring, I draw the curtains.
When people go to the balcony, they just open the curtains instead of closing them.”
“When I think about it, it seems to be true…”
Qianye thought about it and found that this was indeed the case. It was just that because this habit was too detailed or he was used to it, he didn't realize this problem at all.
“But that doesn’t seem right.”
After listening to Tang Ze's words, Qianye felt that this did not seem to fit the deceased's psychology at the time: "Detective Tang Ze, what you said is the subconscious habit of ordinary people. Because everyone knows that they have to go back to the house, so they will not draw the curtains.
If the deceased wanted to commit suicide, then given his state of mind at the time, he would have drawn the curtains instead.”
"That's a good analysis, but only half right."
Tang Ze smiled and pulled up the sliding door to the balcony: "If the deceased wants to leave with a sense of ceremony, then the door should be closed.
After all, compared to fluttering curtains, most people would choose to close the door or draw both.
Just drawing the curtains would be a bit unnatural."
"So, Detective Tang Ze thinks this was not suicide, but that the deceased was pushed off the balcony?" Chiba asked after hearing Tang Ze's words.
"No, I didn't think so."
Tang Ze shook his head and said, "Because I didn't hear you say you heard any screaming or anything like that when you recounted the case earlier.
Apart from this, the neighbors and managers we visited did not have any testimony in this regard.
If the deceased was really pushed down, he would definitely have screamed in fear when he fell."
"Then what is going on..." Chiba was confused when he heard this and was stunned by what Tang Ze said.
"What if it was murder?"
Tang Ze said this and called Uncle Dengmi over, "This side of the balcony entrance, please do a luminol reaction."
"What!?"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, Chiba's expression brightened and he immediately lay on the floor nervously with Uncle Dengmi.
Under the illumination of the ultraviolet light, you can see obvious blood stains on the wooden floor, and it is even more obvious in the gaps of the wooden floor.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the victim's blood." Uncle Dengmi turned off the
"No matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed by Detective Karasawa's 'superpowers'."
Chiba looked at the little bit of blood that Uncle Tomi had carefully extracted from the cracks in the wooden board and couldn't help but sigh: "Although I know it's not a 'superpower', for ordinary people like us, it's almost the same."
"Anyway, let's compare it first. If it's confirmed to be the deceased's blood, then we can basically confirm that the deceased was probably knocked unconscious or killed by someone, and then thrown downstairs."
Tang Ze reconstructed the crime scene and said, "I think the criminal must have knocked the victim unconscious or killed him directly, then wrote a suicide note and threw Mr. Miyasaka down.
But when he entered the room from the balcony, he found a pool of blood at the door.
In a hurry, he pulled the curtains to block the view of the residents in the opposite building, and then began to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
And because of this, he missed the opportunity to escape."
"Wait, please wait a moment, you said the prisoner escaped..."
Qianye looked around in confusion after hearing this: "But when I came, the room was closed and chained.
In this closed room, how can the prisoner escape?"
"I remember you told me that you saw the curtains blown by the wind when you came in?" Tang Ze pointed to the white translucent curtains on the side.
"Yes, I saw that the strong wind suddenly blew up the curtains." Qianye nodded when he heard this.
"Let me demonstrate this to you."
Tang Ze said as he walked to the entrance and opened the door.
The next moment, a strong wind suddenly appeared and blew up the curtains on the balcony diagonally.
"That's how it felt. When I walked into the house and found that the fallen object was a can, the curtains on the balcony suddenly blew up."
Qianye looked at Tang Ze's cover-up and asked in confusion: "But...what does this prove?"
"The curtains only opened suddenly when the door opened." Tang Ze said, "In other words, that was when the criminal escaped from this room."
