"Ah, I remember this."
Gao Mu suddenly realized what was going on and said, "I remember it was the case where his body was discovered by his classmates who happened to be visiting him at his home that day, right?"
"Those classmates were the three of us and Anai," Takaichi Hachiya said wistfully. "That Hashiguchi guy put a lot of effort into making his graduation film..."
"At that time, he didn't even come to school for a whole week," said Tsujiei Tsunayoshi.
"We were a little worried about him, so we arranged for everyone to go check on him after school that day."
The village chief, who had wiped his face with a wet towel, echoed, "But after we rang the doorbell, no one came to open the door.
We were wondering if he was asleep or not at home, so we planned to come see him next time.
But when we were about to leave, Ancai suddenly said that "she had a bad feeling" and hoped that we would go find the administrator together to open the door and see what was going on in the house.
Just in case, we went to see the apartment manager.
But once you open the door and enter the house..."
"You just found Mr. Hashiguchi who had committed suicide by taking poison, right?" Takagi looked at the village chief Mutsu, who was choking with sobs and unable to speak, and took the initiative to say the rest of the words.
"Well... we also found Hashiguchi's suicide note in his room." Tsujiei Tsunayoshi nodded and said, "He wrote down the reason for his suicide... The note said that he had been feeling unwell recently, so he went to see a doctor. After an examination, it was confirmed that he had cancer.
And because it was in the late stage, he only had six months left to live.
I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. I'm going to go see the world after death..."
"Later we asked the criminal professor... and we found out that he died when all of us were in college classes..." Ancai was seen crying.
"It was from that time that Ancai changed a lot." Takaichi Hachiya looked at Tsuneyoshi Tsuji and said.
"Well, suddenly he said he would devote all his energy to completing his graduation film and dedicate it to Hashiguchi, and then he worked very hard to decorate this haunted house." Tsuji Eitoshi nodded.
"It's not unusual to work so hard for a deceased friend, right?" Tang Ze asked back.
"But she's just acting really weird!"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, Takaichi Hachiya clenched his fists and excitedly explained, "Ancai even went to the hospital for emergency gastric lavage due to an overdose of sleeping pills!
But when we asked her why she did this, she said it was to feel the boundary between life and death, so as to use it as a reference for a more realistic portrayal of death!"
"And sometimes she doesn't even speak for the whole day, but she always has a nail in her mouth..." Tsuji Eiichiro said, pointing to his mouth.
Gao Mu was shocked by the other party's behavior when he heard this: "Nail, nail?"
After hearing what Tsuji Eitoshi said, the village head Mutsushi suddenly realized: "Could it be that Ancai has been holding the capsule containing poison in her mouth?"
"So that's it! Just like a nail!" Upon hearing the village chief Mutsu's sudden idea, Takaichi Hochiya also showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"What if I accidentally bite the capsule in my mouth..." Tsuji Eiichiro said suddenly.
"So, this time, before she experienced the moment of life and death, the capsule accidentally leaked, causing her to really die..." Inspector Megure said.
"In that case, this is indeed a suicide case..." Takagi judged.
"Not necessarily."
Tang Ze, who was watching everyone's actions and words like a bystander, heard Takagi's words and walked straight to the deceased, pointed at her face and said:
“Look closely at her mouth. Although she drew cuts on both sides of her cheeks, isn’t there a real scratch above the makeup on the right side?
Not only that, the blood even solidified.
This suggests that someone must have grabbed her mouth forcefully, and when she tried to break free, she scratched it with her own fingernails."
"What did you say!?"
Officer Mumu was shocked when he heard what Karasawa said, and Takagi, wearing white gloves, immediately checked the other person's nails: "Inspector! Look, there is blood and skin between her nails!"
“Eh!?”
Hearing Takagi's words, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect such a reversal.
"If that's the case, then the prisoner forcefully stuffed a capsule containing poison into her mouth, and then covered her mouth and nose before she swallowed the poison..."
Inspector Megure stroked his chin and pondered, "But if that's the case, then logically speaking, Miss Ancai should have died when Xiaolan and the others came here."
"He is indeed dead."
At this moment, Tang Ze suddenly spoke: "I smelled the taste of almonds in Miss Ancai's mouth when I entered the room and saw her trembling.
At that time, I realized that Miss Ancai had passed away."
"What do you mean!?"
Hearing this, Takaichi Hachiya said angrily, "So, you knew Ancai was dead a long time ago, but you still looked at us like an idiot!?"
"If you say so, it's not wrong."
Tang Ze said calmly, “But I noticed the scratches on Miss Ancai’s face and realized that one of you three had killed Miss Ancai in the dark, so I chose to keep it secret.
