That is, there is a centipede next to the deceased's ear.
"Could this be the reason why the client feels his son's death was not an accident?"
Seeing this, Nanatsuki couldn't help but urge, "Senior, please take a quick look at the detailed description of the file."
"Don't be impatient."
Tang Ze turned the page and found the criminal's description of the crime scene and the words of the deceased's family.
The centipede next to the deceased's ear was not alive but the corpse of a centipede that had been stepped on to death.
Moreover, the centipede corpse was placed there before the blood flowing from Yoshiro Torada dried up.
It is precisely because of this that the parents of the deceased feel that this is not a simple accident.
The testimony recorded that the deceased's mother, Torada Tatsuei, felt that after someone found her son, not only did they not seek help, but they just stood by and watched her son die, and even released a disgusting insect before leaving.
His father, Naoki Torada, also felt that this was the revenge of a ruthless evil spirit who hated their Torada family.
"But this could be an accident."
Nanatsuki touched his chin and pondered, "It was a tornado, after all. If there was a centipede corpse nearby that happened to be stepped on, it's possible that it was swept along by the tornado and thrown to the ground along with the deceased."
"Look here. The first person to discover the deceased was Torada Shigeji, Torada Yoshiro's younger brother."
Tang Ze pointed to a record at the bottom of the file: "He said there are no centipedes around there at all.
This is a criminal investigation into Shigeji Torada, who is accused of being obsessed with unfounded treasures in the county.
Because I often go in and out of the mountains to hunt for treasure, I am very familiar with that area."
"So, what he said about there being no centipedes nearby is quite believable."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu then leaned over to the file and asked, "Are there any suspects among the deceased's parents? Someone who has a grudge against their family?"
"Of course there are. The client provided information about four people who have grudges against the Torada family. Their basic information is also recorded in the file."
Tang Ze gestured to Nanatsuki Koshimizu and said, "Please write down the addresses and contact information of the four of them. We will only visit and talk to them one by one."
"Hey, why is there such a thick document at the back? Is there any other information?"
After Nanatsuki Koshimizu took out a small notebook and recorded the information of the four people, she saw that there were still a lot of papers under the folder in Tang Ze's hand, and couldn't help but flip through it.
The next moment, the new content displayed on the document made their faces become serious.
"I didn't expect it to be a serial murder case."
Tang Ze looked at the new victim information and couldn't help but frowned slightly, then carefully read the subsequent file.
This case also involves another major family in Nagano Prefecture, the Ryuo family.
The deceased was also the son of the Ryuo family, Ryuo Koji.
Moreover, unlike the case of Yoshiro Torada, which might have been an accident, the second victim, Koji Ryuo, was completely murdered.
Because Ryuo Koji was tied up by the prisoners, his body was buried in a pile of earth with only his head exposed, and he was beaten to death by hitting his head with a blunt object.
Similarly, before the blood of the deceased had completely coagulated, the criminal placed the corpse of a centipede on top and then escaped.
This same detail even indirectly proves that the first case was most likely not an accident, but a homicide.
After all, placing the centipede before the blood dries up is a detail that would not appear twice unless it was intentional.
"How interesting, 'Dragon and Tiger Fight'?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu continued to read the testimony of each member of the Ryuo family and found that the testimony of Ryuo Moriyo, the grandmother of the Ryuo family, was very interesting.
The old man said that the Torada family felt that their son’s death was closely related to the Torada family, and even that it was their Ryuo family who was responsible.
So someone in the Torada family, out of hatred, killed his grandson, Tatsuo Koji, to vent his anger.
Of course, the current head of the Longwei family, Longwei Weishi, expressed helplessness and a wry smile at his mother's words, and did not have such prejudice.
The person who discovered Longwei Kangji's body was also Longwei Weishi's other son Ajing.
The other party discovered the body of his brother on his way home from practicing horse riding and archery.
"Interesting, the same centipede corpse was also discovered by my own brothers..."
Seeing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu commented, "No one would believe me if I said there was no connection, right?
This is a typical serial killer case, right? "
"The worst thing a detective can do is to prejudge based on the information at hand."
Tang Ze closed the document and put it back into the drawer where the female detective had originally placed it. "Let's go. Is it as you said? We need to go and take a look at the situation first."
"So which family should the Dragon and Tiger families visit first?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with an eager expression, "How about we split up?"
"Yueshui "quasi" patrol, don't forget that you are here for internship and you don't have the authority to handle cases."
Tang Ze emphasized the word "accurate" and said with an expression as if he was looking at a dead person, "Besides, dividing troops in unfamiliar areas is a taboo in mystery works and movies.
A "protagonist" like me would definitely be fine, but a new assistant like you would definitely be attacked, kidnapped, or even killed."
"Why should we judge reality based on the laws of the world in mystery works?
Why do you take it for granted and think of yourself as the protagonist?
Why can I only be the hero, a wise and brave man, while I am only a pitiful victim who causes trouble? "
