Chapter 12 The Boots That Shouldn't Have Appeared



Looking in the direction of Tang Ze's finger, Inspector Megure and others also showed expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces.

"Wearing boots in a room?"

After seeing the body, fellow woman Miwako Sato said in confusion: "This is too strange! This is what you wear when you go out."

Yes, there was nothing strange about the body in other places, but the boots on the feet were the most incongruous part of the deceased.

The black boots basically cover the entire calf and are just below the knee.

The style is a lace-up style, with about thirty or forty loops of laces from the instep to the top of the boots.

It is one of the most common long boots for women in winter, except for zipper-style boots.

People will change their shoes as soon as they get home, but in Neon, if you stay in a tatami room, you are not allowed to wear slippers.

But at this moment, the boots worn when going out appeared on the feet of the deceased in the bedroom, which was too inconsistent.

Obviously this is something that is not normal and should not appear in the room.

It is precisely because it appears where it shouldn't appear that people unconsciously feel the sense of disharmony and disharmony.

Just as Inspector Megure and other detectives including Karasawa were thinking about this problem, the forensic personnel had already conducted a preliminary examination of the body and provided some information.

"The estimated time of death was around 6 o'clock last night."

"The cause of death was asphyxiation caused by strangulation of the neck. Judging from the strangulation marks on the neck, the murder weapon should be something like a very thin rope."

After reporting this information, the forensic officers began collecting evidence throughout the room.

However, because the entire room was so cluttered, it would probably be impossible to find any traces left by the criminal in a short time.

Of course, because the thin rope on the balcony was similar to the wound on the victim's neck, it was possible that it was a murder weapon, so the clothesline was inevitably removed.

The clothes on the balcony were inevitably soaked because of the rain yesterday.

And even with such a detailed evidence collection and search, the results may not be satisfactory.

Because it has not been confirmed whether the criminal actually committed the crime in this room.

After all, the floor from the entrance to the house was very clean, and there was no trace of footprints, but the deceased died in the house wearing boots.

Even if the first discoverer destroyed some traces when he came to the room, it is impossible that there would not be a trace left.

That is to say, although the deceased died in the bedroom with his boots on, it is also possible that he was killed somewhere else and the criminal moved the body back to the room.

In other words, it is possible that someone killed the victim and then moved the body back to the room.

If that's the case, then it's troublesome. It rained for a while last night, and the external traces must have been destroyed long ago.

After making these preliminary judgments and collecting information about the case, Karasawa began to wait for Kogoro Mouri to bring Conan to solve the case.

After all, although he has his own memories based on this world and has experience in police school training, he is a complete novice when it comes to solving cases.

At this time, you should learn from experience and grow faster, curry favor with others to gain some achievements, and deepen your relationship with Conan, the elementary school student who is the god of death. The real thing is to work hard to become an important supporting role and save your life.

After all, Tang Ze did travel through time, but he didn't have any cheats, so he had to follow the guidance of his heart first.

But no matter how long he waited, Tang Ze did not see any signs of Mouri Kogoro and Conan.

"Oh my god, this isn't right. The crime scene is already set up, but the protagonist isn't here. What the hell is going on?"

"Inspector Megure, we've found something!"

Just as Tang Ze was daydreaming, Sato Miwako found a key with a key chain on it on the messy table.

Tang Ze went forward to check and found that inside the keychain was a very intimate photo of the deceased and a man. It looked like the photo was placed in a blank special keychain.

Inspector Megure looked at the keychain and said, "It seems the deceased had a boyfriend."

"And this key doesn't seem to be the spare key for the room."

Tang Ze found the room key and compared it with the forensic personnel. "The key to this room seems to be a very anti-theft model."

Perhaps because the deceased was a single woman, the key to her room was rectangular at the front and had irregular small holes on both sides, making it a very safe key.

Apart from anything else, most shoe repair shops don't have the tools to make this type of key, and most of them only make ordinary keys.

"So this could be a relationship dispute. So, let's begin collecting testimonies from those around us. Also, have the forensics department quickly investigate the identity of the man on the keychain!"

Inspector Megure looked at Tang Ze and the other man and said, "We are still not sure where the crime scene is, so we need to investigate in both directions and don't miss any clues!

We're a bit short on manpower right now, so I'm going to have to work hard on you two. Sato, please take good care of Tang Zejun, since he's only been in the Criminal Division for a short time."

"Don't worry, Officer Megure." Sato Miwako said with a smile, "Besides, Karasawa-kun's performance before was very good."

"Oh, that's right." Apparently, Inspector Megure also remembered Tang Ze's previous expression and couldn't help but say expectantly, "Tang Ze, you have to work hard this time too!"

"Hey, don't worry, Officer Megure!" Tang Ze looked very motivated on the surface, but he was actually smiling bitterly in his heart.

Before, it was because he knew that the plot was cheating, but now he has no impression of this case at all. Even Kogoro Mouri and Conan did not appear, which made Tang Ze suspect that this was a case outside of the anime.

After all, this is a real world, and it is naturally impossible for the story to revolve around the protagonist alone. It is also normal for other cases to occur outside the original plot, otherwise there would not be so many different reforms.

With such a horrific frequency of crimes, not only did the police system change, but detective became a very common profession, and his social status was much better than in the past. Even famous detectives were sought after by the world.

Of course, this is just on the surface. Most detectives still make a living by catching mistresses, but this is still much better than the situation in the previous life.

However, after Tang Ze confirmed that the "washing machine" would not come, although he was a little lacking in confidence, when he really needed to be responsible for this case, the slight panic in his heart was quickly filled with enthusiasm.

After all, in his previous life he could only rely on novels, movies and TV shows to satisfy his desires, but now he can personally participate in them, and he doesn't want to be just a tool.

Let this case test how far you can go!
