After sorting out the testimony, the two used a public telephone booth to call the police station and contacted Officer Megure, and thus obtained the address of the man in the photo.
In the era when Conan started, mobile phones were still high-end gadgets and telephones were the mainstream. Don't even think about wanting to send a photo and ask the forensics department to find someone for you.
So it is really inconvenient to handle cases these days. If you want to find someone's information, Inspector Megure has to take the keychain back to the police station.
With the address obtained from Inspector Megure, the two prepared to drive to find each other.
Of course, it was Karasawa who was driving. It was a good thing he had a driver's license, otherwise if he had ridden in Sato Miwako's car, his breakfast would probably have been wasted.
“Ding Dong~”
After the doorbell rang, the door opened shortly afterwards. A young man in formal attire looked at the two and asked, "Who are you? What's going on?"
After confirming that the other party was the man in the photo on the keychain, Tang Ze and the other man showed their ID and stated their purpose.
"Killed?" The young man looked incredulous.
"Yes."
"I understand. Let's talk somewhere else. There's a coffee shop nearby." After the young man learned the purpose of Tang Ze and the other man's visit, he put on his shoes and walked past them.
The door slowly closed, and Tang Ze noticed a pair of white high-heeled shoes neatly placed on the ground in the entrance of the other party's house.
Sato Miwako had already followed, and Tang Ze looked back again to see the door slowly closing.
The man on the deceased's keychain was named Kamikawa Tashiro, 33 years old, an elite employee of a large IT company. He was also good-looking and a successful person.
After arriving at the coffee shop, they sat down and ordered three cups of coffee, and the other party took the initiative to admit the relationship between them.
This was a wise move. Now that the police had found him, he couldn't deny it.
"So, you admit the fact that you are dating Asamiya Kiriko?" asked Sato Miwako.
"Yes, it was about a year ago. She was assigned to our company and we became very close. However, after she went to another company, we lost contact. It was a natural breakup," explained Kamikawa Tadai.
"I see. Then why does she have a spare key to your room?"
Tang Ze placed the key on the table and pushed it in front of Shangchuan, looking at him sharply, "Although you said you had broken up, in fact, the relationship between the two of you has always been maintained, so the keys you exchanged have never been retrieved. I am right, right?"
Kamikawa Tadai threw the keys at Tang Ze with an impatient look on his face. "So after we broke up, I didn't take care of the keys and just left them with her. Isn't that normal?"
"Besides, even if I still maintain a relationship with her, so what?" Kamikawa Tadai asked in a bad tone, "Do you think I killed her?"
"Well, don't get excited." Sato Miwako tried to smooth things over. "By the way, Mr. Kamikawa, where were you yesterday evening?"
"Alibi?" Kamikawa Tadai sneered, "I was fishing in Tokyo Bay with my colleagues yesterday and stayed there until evening."
"Oh? Fishing until the evening?" Tang Ze said with a smile: "You must have had a hard time last night. You couldn't find a place to fish at all, did you?"
"You don't have to try to trick me." Kamikawa Tadai put his arms on the table and leaned forward to look at Karasawa. "Indeed, the weather forecast said it would rain throughout Tokyo, but the forecast was inaccurate. It only rained in some areas."
Checking the watch on his wrist, Kamikawa Tadai looked at the two of them and stood up and said, "We can go now. Someone is waiting for me."
"One last question," Tang Ze stopped him. "There's a pair of white high heels at the entrance. Excuse me, is that your new lover?"
Kamikawa Tadai glanced at Tang Ze, let out a long sigh, and said unkindly, "Exactly. Is there any problem?"
"Nothing." Tang Ze shook his head.
"Excuse me!"
After saying this, Kamikawa Tadai left the cafe.
"He's very suspicious." Sato Miwako said as she watched Kamikawa Tadai leave, "He has no alibi and has a new girlfriend.
"But Tang Zejun, your observation is as sharp as ever. You even discovered that he has a new girlfriend. So, the murderous intent is likely because he is tired of Miss Asamiya's constant pestering and is afraid that he will destroy his relationship with his new girlfriend, so he killed her."
"I just happened to catch a glimpse of the shoes in the entrance hall," Tang Ze said after taking a sip of coffee. "But right now, the other party does have the greatest motive. He also has the key to Miss Asamiya's house, so he has the necessary conditions to enter the house and commit the crime."
"He has the key to Miss Asamiya's house?" Sato Miwako asked in surprise. "I didn't hear him mention that during the conversation?"
"But he acquiesced." Tang Ze laughed and said, "I said 'mutually exchanged keys' but although the other party was angry, he did not refute but subconsciously acquiesced.
The fact that they didn't correct my mistake means that they had indeed exchanged keys."
"You're amazing, Tang Ze-kun." Sato Miwako looked at Tang Ze in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you could do this. Well done."
"It's just some clever tricks, not smart or not." Tang Ze waved his hand.
But I was still very happy in my heart, after all, the experience from my previous life came in handy.
When he went to find Kamikawa Tashiro, he had been thinking about how to ask questions. After all, the deceased had the key to his house, so according to common sense, Kamikawa Tashiro should also have the key to the deceased's house.
Especially during the process of communication, both parties will definitely exchange keys.
So Tang Ze simply set up a small language trap and tested it. Sure enough, the other party seemed to think that the police had found out the information and denied it under the premise of tacit consent.
"Then let's go." After finishing her coffee, Sato Miwako said, "Let's check Kamikawa Tadai's company and confirm his alibi!"
…
"So, shortly after Ms. Asamiya encountered the apartment manager, she was likely murdered at home."
Metropolitan Police Department.
After listening to the two people's reports, Inspector Megure said: "The body was wearing boots. It may be because the criminal suddenly attacked the deceased when he opened the door to enter the house, so he didn't have time to take off his shoes before he was killed."
"It's possible that they forgot to take them off the body in the panic, but there's also the possibility that they left the boots on intentionally."
Miwako Sato speculated: "In this way, we will mistakenly believe that the deceased was killed outside, thus confusing the crime scene."
"So, Kamikawa Tashiro is a strong suspect. Not only does he have the key, but he also has a strong motive due to emotional issues."
Even so, Inspector Megure frowned and said, "But the other party has a perfect alibi!"
