The two rested there for more than ten minutes, and then set off again.
The two soon came to a fork in the road.
"This way we continue forward. There's a stream over here." Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the two roads and said, "Which way should we go?"
"The stream should not be far away. You wait here, I'll go over and take a look." Tang Ze asked Yue Shui Nanatsuki to stay where she was, while he stepped on the stones and walked towards the stream.
"I feel like with just the two of us, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the dense woods around her and said somewhat discouragedly, "If Miss Hiroko was really killed, wouldn't it be too difficult to find her body in this environment?
You never know, most people might find it when they say this." Tang Ze said with a reassuring smile as he stepped forward on the stone.
"I feel like you are fooling me with what you said." Nanatsuki Koshimizu rolled her eyes when she heard that, but after hearing what Tang Ze said, she still unconsciously walked to the other side of the stream.
The river bank here is much flatter than the one on Tangze with all kinds of big rocks, but it is also made up of pebbles.
As Nanatsuki Koshimizu stepped on the pebbles, a "clacking" sound came from the soles of her feet.
But after taking only two steps, he suddenly heard a different sound under his feet, like the sound of broken glass being crushed.
"Um?"
When Nanatsuki Koshimizu heard the unusual sound, she subconsciously looked down and found a pile of dark green glass under her feet.
“It can’t be that accurate…”
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the pile of glass shards at her feet that looked like a champagne bottle, then looked at Karasawa on the other side and shouted, "Detective Karasawa, I think I found a champagne bottle!"
“Is this true?!”
When Tang Ze heard what Nanatsuki Koshimizu called out, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his casual words would actually come true.
When he rushed over, he found that Nanatsuki Koshimizu had already put on white gloves and found the bottle mouth from the broken glass.
"Detective Tang Ze, look, this bottle is still unopened."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu held up the only relatively intact part of the bottle and said, "That means the wine wasn't drunk, but was broken here.
Of course, it could have been smashed by someone here, and it has nothing to do with the case we are investigating."
"Look at the label. It's indeed the bottle of champagne in the photo."
Tang Ze compared the trademark and confirmed, "When I was looking for the screw cap yesterday, I also looked for the brand of the champagne.
The price of this bottle of wine is almost the same as your salary. The chances of you being able to afford it and bring it so deep into the mountains are slim."
"I'm really sorry that I'm poor." Nanatsuki Koshimizu rolled her eyes and complained.
"When this case is resolved, I'll give you a better bottle." Tang Ze said with a smile, "Don't be sour."
"Hehe, that's what you said." Nanatsuki Koshimizu smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Just consider it as your reward for accompanying me on extra errands and investigations."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Put your things down first, and we'll look around."
"Yeah." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, and the two began to search around.
In fact, it didn't take the two of them much effort to find a small depression near the river bank where the champagne bottle had shattered.
There was a stream next to this small depression, and it looked like the water was deeper, so this place became land.
If it were the rainy season, the stream would probably fill this place with water and turn it into a small pool.
"Don't go down there."
Tang Ze looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu and said, "It's easy to jump down from this height, but it's a bit troublesome to climb up. You're a girl, so don't go down."
"Can you do it yourself?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the damp rocks at the edge of the depression and said, "It doesn't look like there's any easy way out here."
"Don't worry, I've got this."
Tang Ze shook the watch on his wrist, pulled out the hook and wrapped it around the big rock several times.
"I didn't expect your watch to have such high technology." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said in surprise as she looked at Tang Ze's props.
"A multifunctional watch." Tang Ze smiled and said, "People in our line of work need something that can be used for many things, so we can deal with various situations."
In fact, if he adjusted the hook mode to the "rock" position, he could shoot directly into the rock.
But that would be a bit conspicuous, so Tang Ze chose to tie the rope manually.
"Can I have this instead of champagne?"
When Nanatsuki Koshimizu heard what Karasawa said, she looked at Karasawa's watch and couldn't help but say.
"You have good taste."
Tang Ze rolled his eyes: "Of course not, I can't get a second one with this one."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu sighed a little disappointedly and watched Tang Ze tie the rope to the rock and jump down.
The sunken area was not very big. Tang Ze turned his head and saw a lot of blood on the rock wall behind him.
In addition, the camera also fell beside it.
"There was blood and a camera, and it looked like it had been dropped."
Because the bloodstains and the camera fell right next to the concave wall, and even behind where Tang Ze jumped, and the bloodstains could only be formed if the other party fell in an abnormal posture.
"Was she pushed down by the criminal?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu immediately thought of this possibility and asked, "Is Miss Hiroko down there?"
"No, this corner is next to the stream, and the body may have been washed away by the water."
