That's why I thought you were a smoker, and I asked for a cigarette for you when you were emotionally broken to calm you down.
But you said you didn't smoke, and I was wondering why this was different from the information I had smelled.
It wasn't until I found the cigarette butt thrown away by Mr. Hayami from the convenience store's surveillance that I realized there might be a bigger story."
As Tang Ze finished speaking, the male patrolman beside him hurried back and showed a few cigarette butts in his left hand: "Inspector! The same cigarette butts were found in the ashtray inside the car as those found by Detective Tang Ze!"
At the same time, the male patrolman spread out his right hand, revealing a cigarette butt wrapped in a tissue.
Obviously, the cigarette butt found in the car in the other party's hand is the same as the cigarette butt given to him by Tang Ze in his right hand.
"The brand of the cigarette butts matches, and the bite marks match. We can basically determine that these are the cigarettes smoked by Mr. Hayami. And you should know what it means to find these cigarette butts in your car, right?"
Tang Ze looked at Kurumi Seiji, who had a grim expression on his face, with a hint of coldness on his face: "This means that the car Mr. Hayami drove before arriving at the convenience store should have been this green car.
I think you lent the green car to Mr. Hayami as a means of transportation while his car was back at the factory for repairs.
And today you are driving the red car that Mr. Hayami repaired. You must have made an appointment with him to meet at a convenience store to exchange the car.
This is also why the convenience store owner mistakenly thought that Mr. Hayami was the owner of the green car when he greeted him.
Because he saw Mr. Hayami driving this green car yesterday, and he drove a car here again today, so he had this understanding.
Mr. Hayami was very angry at the time and told the clerk that the red car was his.
After exchanging cars, you faked a traffic accident and killed Mr. Hayami."
"Fake a traffic accident!?" Michida Junko said with a serious expression after hearing Tang Ze's words: "Are you sure!?"
"Of course." Tang Ze nodded and said, "I think Mr. Kurumi has been planning from the beginning to use his green car to hit the other party's red car after the exchange."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Kurumi Zhengsi pointed at his bandaged head and arms in an excited tone and said, "Can't you see that I'm injured too!
This was a collision between two cars, not me driving the car to hit someone else. If there had been an accident, I might have been killed like Mr. Hayami!"
"No, although your risk seems high, a two-car collision could injure you, but the risk is within your control."
Tang Ze shook his head, looked at the green car and said, "After all, your car has a special iron bumper installed on the front.
Although the sturdiness of the front of the car cannot guarantee your safety, it can still protect your personal safety with the airbag.
And even if you get injured, it's still very beneficial for you. This way you can even more easily cover up the fact that you killed someone, making it seem like an accident, right?"
"You are simply making a false accusation. You are treating me like a criminal!"
Che Gu Zhengsi roared, "This is clearly a traffic accident caused by the 'collision line' phenomenon!
The fact that the red car didn't have any brakes is the best evidence!"
"This... is indeed..."
Michida Panzi looked at the other party's questioning eyes and looked at Tang Ze with embarrassment, "We just checked the surveillance near the intersection, and the red car did not show any signs of braking at that time...
Inspector Tang Ze, I think it would be difficult to artificially trigger the "collision path" phenomenon. After all, the deceased will not cooperate with the operation."
"You've got a preconceived notion."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "I never said that Mr. Hayami didn't brake because of the so-called "collision path" phenomenon.
The reason Mr. Hayami didn't brake was because Mr. Kurumiya had made some adjustments beforehand, making it impossible for Mr. Hayami to brake at that time."
"Then you guys investigate. If there are any signs of tampering with the car, you can just arrest me!" Che Gu Zhengsi roared with a ferocious look.
"Indeed, our professionals have just checked the car and there are no signs of tampering on the car." Michida Junko said.
"Detective Michida, you said the car hadn't been tampered with, but that doesn't mean there aren't deadly traps elsewhere."
Tang Ze whispered something to Ayako, and then Ayako trotted open the door of her car, got in and turned on the headlights.
After all, it is daytime now, and even the high beam is inconspicuous when the brightness is sufficient during the day.
But just because the lights are inconspicuous doesn’t mean it’s the same in other places.
When the high beam reflected back with an even brighter and more dazzling light, everyone unconsciously turned around to look at the billboard behind them.
The green car that originally hit the billboard has been towed away by the police. Even though the billboard is uneven due to the impact, it can still emit a dazzling reflection because the material is reflective.
"That's an advertising billboard with a reflective surface, just like a road sign."
Tang Ze looked at the advertisement board and explained, "I also took this road when I went to Nagano Prefecture. The direction at that time should have been in the direction that Mr. Hayami drove.
If you don't believe me, you can ask people nearby or contact the person who set up the billboard to verify it.
