As the name suggests, the Xixinle Plateau is a high plain.
So there is a mountain here, but it is not very high, just a small slope.
Hattori Heiji followed the other person all the way to the hillside. When he saw the densely packed ceramics placed on the side of the road, a look of realization appeared on his face.
According to the old man in charge, the soil in the mountains in their area is good and they can find good clay suitable for bisque firing.
These ceramics on the roadside are to be sold all over the country.
The reason why we brought him here is because there is a tradition in the summer camp that at the end of the camp, they will let the participating children experience pottery.
Finally, they will be asked to write their names on the plates made by the group.
These pottery works will be preserved here according to their age. Many children even come here specifically to see the pottery they made together when they grow up, in order to remember the friends they met in the summer camp and the time they spent together.
After hearing the old man's words, Hattori Heiji's eyes showed a hint of realization and excitement.
Having learned about the case from Tang Ze, he naturally knew that some clay suitable for ceramics was found in the photo they investigated.
Now seeing the ceramics halfway up the mountain, Hattori Heiji knew that this corresponded to the clues that Tang Ze and his team had previously investigated.
"This is Kato, the manager of the ceramics factory."
The old man led Hattori Heiji to the front of the hut and said hello to the middle-aged man with gray hair who was busy with the ceramics: "Kato, I will take this child to the house to see the commemorative ceramics."
"Go ahead."
Perhaps because he had seen too many children coming to see the ceramics, Kato was still busy with the work at hand and didn't even raise his head after hearing the words of the person in charge, and spoke directly.
This was not the first time that the old man in charge came here to look for something. Not long after, he led Hattori Heiji to find the storage place of the ceramics made by the children in the summer camp 18 years ago.
After Hattori Heiji and the old man looked for the names on it, they quickly locked onto a large plate with the names of four people, including Hisaki Ritsuko and Kakuta Michihiro, written on it.
After confirming this, Hattori Heiji immediately called Tang Ze and told him the findings of the investigation.
"So that's how it is?" After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, Tang Ze suddenly realized: "Everything is connected."
"It was here that Ritsuko Kuki and Michihiro Kakuda met Yakushiji and Kawada Kyouta."
Hattori Heiji sighed, "And 18 years later, two of them became criminals, while the other two became drug dealers. This is really fate..."
"Perhaps the four of them experienced something together in this summer camp, which led to this situation."
Tang Ze pondered the information Hattori Heiji had said and said, "According to our investigation, apart from this summer camp, there has been no news about them in the past 18 years.
I don't believe that Ritsuko Kuki became a mole for the two drug dealers in Yakushiji just because of the friendship they had 18 years ago.
Now that I think about it, only something had happened in the past that forced Ritsuko Kuki to give in and help Yakushiji.
And that kind of thing must never be exposed. If it is exposed, it will even ruin her current life."
As for what cannot be exposed, there are too many.
The easiest thing to think of is murder.
If someone killed someone as a child, two of them degenerated into drug dealers, and the other two became criminals and wanted to hide their past by pretending to be "just," this is actually consistent with the psychological changes in their mental process.
Criminals deal with criminals, so it's inevitable that Michihiro Kakuta of the Countermeasures Division might meet the drug dealer Yakushiji one day.
And Ritsuko Kuki was also involved, and her peaceful life was broken, which eventually led to the death of two people and the two becoming fugitives.
Of course, these are just reasonable speculations made by Tang Ze based on the existing intelligence, and the details still need to be confirmed through further investigation.
But isn’t that what a search is all about? You make inferences based on the existing intelligence, and then continue to verify based on the direction of your inferences.
Regardless of whether the follow-up results are expected or unexpected, it is a step closer to the truth.
Even not gaining anything is actually a kind of gain. To put it optimistically, at least one wrong direction has been eliminated.
But no matter how you reason, no matter how reasonable it is, you have to find the truth.
"I'll go to the nearby Xixinle Criminal Police Station and ask if it happened that year!"
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Hattori Heiji immediately understood what he meant and suggested going to the nearby police station to check it out.
"Wait a minute, I'll say hello to the Nishishino Criminal Police Bureau first." Tang Ze asked Hattori Heiji to wait for his call and go after he had made everything.
Apart from Osaka, it's no longer easy to use the handsome boy Hattori Heiji to show his face. In the past, people would see that you were just a high school student and wouldn't even bother to look at your files.
If you say you are a high school detective and come here to investigate something, you might be kicked out.
After all, in the eyes of many criminals, detectives are just there to mess things up, and few of them are welcome.
Unless you gain some fame in your own area and solve a few cases, people will gradually accept you after they realize your abilities and are happy to cooperate with you.
If you want to investigate files in a place you are not familiar with, people will definitely give you face unless Hattori Heiji introduces himself and uses his father to gain recognition. Otherwise, don't even think about it.
