"Off topic?"
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Koshimizu Nanatsuki also reacted: "Indeed, this seems to be off topic."
"Since ancient times, human death and disappearance have not been trivial matters, so whenever something strange and inexplicable happens, people will connect it to ghosts and gods."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "However, rumors are also combined with reality. For example, everyone in this villa has disappeared, so it should be called the "Hidden House" or the "Man-Eating House".
If it's a haunted house, it means seeing ghosts, or curses killing people, or monsters killing people, etc."
"No wonder I felt off topic." Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly realized, "So it's because reality and legend are different."
"That's right."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "This also makes me more convinced that this rumor is man-made.
I'm afraid the person who wove this legend didn't even realize he made a small mistake."
"However, for many people, it's not that clear," said Nanatsuki Koshimizu. "And there are also people saying that Mrs. Miura's ghost is haunting the place."
"Legends are always full of mystery, but investigations require down-to-earth work."
Tang Ze watched the busy crowd walk out and said, "Let's go. We are not needed here for the time being. Let's go investigate somewhere else."
"Then where should we go first? To the Miura family, or to investigate the missing Mr. Shoji Kanai?" asked Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
"We originally came here to investigate a missing persons case, so naturally we prioritized the latter."
Tang Ze selected his target and started the car. "Before, you only talked about the series of disappearances in that house. Now tell me the specific reasons for the disappearance."
"Mr. Kanai went to the abandoned villa of the Miura family for work."
As a renowned southern detective, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's memory was a fundamental skill. He quickly sorted out his memories and recounted, "As for the person who commissioned him to investigate, it was his boss at the company."
"The boss reported the disappearance?" Tang Ze said, "But usually missing persons are reported by relatives, right?"
"Senior, you really pay attention to details."
Upon hearing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "I don't think it's a big deal for his boss to report the case. After all, it was he who commissioned Mr. Kanai to do this."
"Well, let's go ask the boss and see what he says."
After driving to the company where Shoji Kanai worked, the two men revealed their identities and were personally received by the other party's boss, Kazuhiro Moritani.
Tang Ze also asked the question he was concerned about before and got the other party's answer.
It turned out that Shoji Kanai had no family or relatives, so when his boss saw that he had not come to work for several days and could not be contacted, he called the police.
"That's right, Senior." Nanatsuki Koshimizu shrugged. "You're obsessed with too many details. It's easy to get neurotic."
"Neurotic?"
Tang Ze smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the boss and said, "When you reported the case, you said Jin Jing went to that house to investigate. What exactly did he do?"
"do what..."
Upon hearing this, Moriya Kazuhiro explained, "Actually, that room is now under our management, so we have regular inspections."
"I see a lot of talismans and other things stuck in there..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Moritani Kazuhiro and said, "What are those..."
“We put that up.”
Upon hearing this, Moriya Kazuhiro directly admitted the matter: "Actually, because someone disappeared there two years ago, we thought it would be bad if any strange rumors appeared again."
At this point, Moritani Kazuhiro leaned back on the sofa with a helpless look on his face: "After all, that house has been difficult to sell since it was entrusted to us..."
"It's hard to sell?" Tang Ze asked, "Is it a ghost?"
"No, no, it's a more practical problem."
Moriya Kazuhiro waved his hand and explained, “Isn’t this place very close to the nearby library?
A little further away is Teitan Elementary School, so it's rumored that this place will be included in the cultural and educational district."
"Cultural and educational district?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked in confusion, "What is that?"
"When educational institutions such as schools are concentrated in nearby areas, it will restrict buildings that are not conducive to educational development."
Moriya Kazuhiro said, "Many entertainment facilities will not be allowed to be built. It can be said that the use of the land is largely restricted."
"I see. Thank you for your clarification." Tang Ze nodded in understanding and then changed the subject: "But because of that rumor, the house hasn't been sold for so long. Isn't the owner of the villa very distressed?"
"Well, you said you're the owner of the villa..." Moriya Kazuhiro smiled and said, "Although he's definitely angry, he's not really short of money."
"I see."
Tang Ze nodded in understanding: "We will continue to investigate Mr. Kanai. Do you have Mr. Miura's contact information?"
We have some things we want to discuss with him.”
"Mr. Miura is in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Gu Hehong called out to his secretary to bring over the client contact book. After flipping through it, he said, "He is currently receiving treatment at the Beihua Private Hospital."
"Is that so? Thank you very much."
Having asked almost all the questions, Tang Ze and the others didn't argue any further and drove directly to the hospital.
"I didn't expect he'd be hospitalized. The boss said visiting hours are from 10 to 11 a.m., and it's already 10:30. If we hurry, we can still make it."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu put the siren on the roof and turned it on. After sitting down, he hurriedly urged, "Senior, I've already turned on the siren. Please drive faster."
