Tang Ze was very fast. After realizing that the three colleagues in charge of monitoring the gate might have fallen into a trap, he immediately rushed to the door of the third-floor apartment where the target was.
Looking down at the ground, the note that the three people mentioned was stuck on the ground.
After listening carefully to the room and hearing no sound, Tang Ze knocked on the door, introduced himself, and opened the door.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw pizzas placed on the table inside the house, and next to them were a few envelopes that probably contained delivery fees.
Tang Ze walked over and opened the pizza box, but found that the pizza had not been eaten and was left there completely.
“I didn’t even eat a bite of my pizza…”
Sato Miwako, who came right after, saw this and her face changed: "Sure enough, the criminal did these things just to escape, that's why he called these three people.
When Chiba and the others go to call for help, there should be rotation, so they won't make the mistake of leaving the gaps too long.
Does that mean the "Hammer Man" is still in the room!?"
Speaking of this, Sato Miwako's body tensed up and she looked around with extreme vigilance. If there was any sign of trouble, she would instantly launch a fierce counterattack.
"Don't be too vigilant. There should be no threats in the room."
At this moment, Tang Ze looked towards the bedroom where the lights were not on, squatted down and checked the man lying on the ground.
"Suicide?!"
Miwako Sato naturally also saw the man on the ground and hurried over.
"No, he's still breathing. Call an ambulance."
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Sato Miwako quickly took out her cell phone to contact the ambulance, and after notifying the location, she put the phone away.
"W-What's going on?"
At this moment, Takagi, who was a step slower than the other two, also ran over. When he saw the man lying on the ground, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"He was like this when we came in."
Miwako Sato looked at the man who had fainted on the ground and said, "He was wearing a coat and a hat and looked like he was about to run away.
Was it because he discovered the surrounding encirclement and committed suicide out of despair? "
"So, the prisoner was trying to commit suicide, but by sheer luck the rope fell off before he died, saving his life?"
Gao Mu looked at the rope that fell beside the man, and continued to reason along the lines of Sato Miwako's words, and said uncertainly: "Is that so..."
"No, this man did not commit suicide. You have preconceived notions."
After checking the man's condition, Tang Ze pointed at his neck and said, "Look here, there are basically no rope marks on his neck."
"Indeed not." Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako immediately lay down and looked at his neck carefully.
"And wearing a hat while hanging yourself is a bit weird." Tang Ze pointed out another unreasonable point: "After all, a hat would be in the way when hanging yourself."
"So you mean, this hat is..."
When Sato Miwako came over, she saw Karasawa taking off the hat on the man's head, and the next moment, blood-stained hair appeared in front of everyone.
"What's going on?!" Sato Miwako was shocked when she saw this, "Why..."
"Maybe the 'hammer man' was beaten up in return."
Tang Ze said, "Or maybe it was an identity swap. The Hammer Man attacked one of the three and then took on the other's identity."
"No matter what, those three are highly suspicious. I'll have Qianye bring them here immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako immediately contacted Chiba and asked him to bring the three people over.
Chiba, who was struggling with the three people outside the apartment, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He immediately explained what he found inside the house, and the three people who had been wanting to leave reluctantly followed them into the apartment.
"If you guys had called any later, I really wouldn't have been able to stop you."
With Takagi's help, Chiba brought the three of them to the apartment. He wiped his sweat and said, "As soon as you left, the three of them said they had a lot of delivery work to do and had to leave.
If you, Detective Tang Ze, hadn’t specifically told me not to let the three of them go, I might not have been able to stop them…”
"If you really let those three go, you're really finished."
Sato Miwako breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "When the time comes, Inspector Megure will scold you to death for letting the suspect go."
"Um... indeed..." Qianye couldn't help but feel relieved when he said this, "If Tang Ze hadn't specifically told me to, I might have let him go..."
"Anyway, keep them under observation. Although one of them is a suspect, we haven't been able to identify him yet, so we need to conduct more investigations."
After Tang Ze finished his instructions, he glanced at Conan, who had followed Sato Miwako and had been running over but hadn't said a word. He picked her up and put her next to Xiaolan, who had followed him. "Don't run away. Just stay here."
"That's right, little kid, don't come over and cause trouble." Sonoko rubbed Conan's dog head and pressed him down.
"I just followed along and learned a little bit. I didn't do anything!" Conan said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't cause any trouble!"
"Anyway, let's just watch from here." Xiaolan said with a soothing smile, "Just watch how your master solves the case here, you can learn from him as well."
"I don't want to watch him solve the case, I want to be involved myself..."
Even though Conan kept complaining in his heart, he could only nod obediently after hearing what Xiaolan said.
Although he felt a little excited when he saw the case, he also understood why Tang Ze didn't let him get involved in the case this time.
After all, Xiaolan and Sonoko are following him this time, so he can't be too conspicuous, otherwise it will be easy for Sonoko, who has a weird imagination, to suspect him.
