"Is that so?"
Karasawa nodded thoughtfully, said goodbye to Mrs. Eguchi, and immediately took Koshimizu Nanatsuki to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building before leaving get off work.
This is the seat of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and many government projects and urban planning are issued from here.
Tang Ze chose to come here naturally to investigate the newly divided areas of the cultural zone.
"It is indeed true. If it is rezoned, the cultural area where the villa is located will no longer be restricted."
Tang Ze looked at the "Cultural District Division Map" obtained from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and showed a look of understanding, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki also thought of the answer almost at the same time.
"Finally, there's some progress. Although it's not what I expected, it wouldn't be bad if I could complete the original mission."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Karasawa looked at each other, and the two "riddle monsters" seemed to have a tacit understanding that everything was implied.
When the night fell completely, the two of them once again came to the real estate company where the third missing person, Mr. Kanai, worked.
After informing the secretary, the two met Moritani Kazuhiro again in the office, and the other party's attitude was still enthusiastic.
"I heard from the secretary that there has been any progress in your investigation?"
Moriya Kazuhiro's tone was full of concern: "Any information about Mr. Kanai's whereabouts?"
"Indeed, we have it. We came here to confirm it with you." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with a smile.
"Like me?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Gu Hehong was surprised and said, "Miss Detective...did you say something wrong?"
"You're right. If we want to find the missing Mr. Kanei, we really have to rely on Boss Moritani."
Tang Ze looked at Moritani Kazuhiro and smiled, "Let me ask you directly. You knew about the disappearance of Mr. Kanai from the beginning, right?"
"ah?"
Sheng Gu Hehong was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said defensively: "Detective, if I knew where he was, I would never have called the police!"
"You knew Mr. Kanai's whereabouts, but you still called the police and issued a missing person request. The reason is because the value of that piece of land is going to increase soon, right?"
Tang Ze said calmly, "Although the villa has indeed been unsaleable for three years due to the widespread rumors of the haunted house.
However, with the redivision of the "cultural and educational area", that piece of land was excluded from the scope and became normal land.
This way, the land can be used for more purposes, and its natural value can be increased.”
Tang Ze's words instantly made Sheng Gu Hehong's face look unnatural. He didn't even dare to look at the two of them and turned his face away to avoid their sight.
"I advise you to tell the truth."
Tang Ze looked at Moritani Kazuhiro and said calmly: "Although at the beginning, you may have just wanted to use the rumor about the haunted house to make Mr. Kanai disappear for two days.
Then all he had to do was let him use the same excuse he had used for the two children to get away with it.
But now it’s of a different nature.”
Tang Ze walked up to Moritani Kazuhiro and looked down at him with sharp eyes: "If we intervene and find the body, then Mr. Kanai who disappeared there will not be simply considered as a runaway.
Given his current condition, he can definitely be investigated as a suspect in a murder case."
"How could it be, a suspect or something..." Hearing what Tang Ze said, Moritani Kazuhiro panicked instantly.
"After all, the reason we were able to find the skeleton was because when we were searching for his whereabouts, we saw a figure flash by, and then when we arrived at the courtyard, we discovered a dug hole in the ground."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu said calmly, "You said, since Mr. Kanai disappeared from this villa, we've listed him as a suspect. We suspect he was digging up bones during his absence, intending to move the body and destroy the evidence. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Also, I'd like to kindly remind you that if you're attempting to falsely file a missing person request out of anticipation of land value appreciation, you're committing the crime of falsifying facts and obstructing public service."
Tang Ze looked at the sweaty Moritani Kazuhiro and smiled, "Murder or obstruction of public service, which one do you want to be investigated for?"
“I…I…”
Sheng Gu and Hong stuttered twice, and finally sighed dejectedly, and then went on to talk about the whole thing: "In fact, after the planning decision to re-divide the area two years ago, the land had the possibility of appreciation.
As long as the policy is redivided, the price of this land will definitely increase exponentially.
But the owner kept insisting we sell the house quickly. Even though we told him he could get more money if he waited, he still insisted on selling it!
"So you need a reason why you can't sell it." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded in understanding, then changed the subject and said, "So that's why you spread the rumor about the haunted house?"
"No, no, I didn't spread this."
Sheng Gu Hehong shook his head repeatedly: "I also happened to know the rumor that the villa would make people disappear at that time.
We just use it, but we didn't do it!
Anyway, the villa will be demolished and turned into entertainment facilities, so there won’t be any strange rumors.”
"Have you discussed this with the landlord's daughter?" Tang Ze asked.
"No, I can never talk to her about housing prices." Moritani Kazuhiro said helplessly.
"always?"
Hearing the other party's words, Tang Ze keenly noticed the other party's choice of words: "Didn't we just contact each other once three years ago?"
"No, they will contact us regularly."
Tang Ze nodded and patted the other person's shoulder: "I'll give you a chance. Turn yourself in. If you behave well, I think you'll only get a verbal warning."
