After making three judgments, Tang Ze picked up the shovel and started digging in the deep pit again.
He has no way to verify the first and second possibilities now, so Tang Ze must at least figure out the third possibility, which can be verified directly by making an effort.
After digging, Tang Ze realized that his third idea should be correct.
Because the soil underneath was still very loose, it didn't feel very hard when digging, and it was very similar to the coating they had dug out in front of the suitcase before.
"I now believe that there seems to be something hidden underneath." Nanatsuki Koshimizu quickly realized this problem and gradually sped up her movements.
The two of them worked together to dig very quickly. After a while, they had dug more than ten centimeters. Tang Ze soon smelled the smell of lime and a faint rotten smell mixed in the soil.
For a criminal who frequently appears at crime scenes and has a well-developed sense of smell, this is a very familiar smell.
"Now I understand why Reika Sasaki installed a hidden camera at her doorstep." Tang Ze said as he dug.
"Why? Isn't it to guard the money buried in the soil?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki said a little breathlessly.
"Although money is something she values, she will need it sooner or later. If she wants insurance, she can just buy a safe. So digging a hole and burying the safe is just a side job."
Tang Ze's breathing remained steady, and his hands even moved a little faster: "And the real purpose of her installing the camera is probably because of the body buried underneath.
She was afraid that the body would be discovered one day, so she secretly installed a camera to keep an eye on it.
Tang Ze's answer made Nanatsuki's pupils shrink unconsciously, and her hands stopped moving unconsciously: "Is this true or not, Detective Tang Ze, are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure. I can smell it even at this depth."
Tang Ze looked at the white dirt dug out by the shovel and pointed to Nanatsuki Koshimizu to look: "If I'm not mistaken, Sasaki Reika deliberately sprinkled lime on the corpse to prevent it from stinking.
Then they added a layer of lime when they buried it, and we might be about to find the body.”
"This is really a big case."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the deep pit below, muttered twice, and then started digging again.
"For money, people will do a lot of things."
Tang Ze said: "But it's rare to find someone as ruthless as Sasaki Reika. In order to protect this body from being discovered, she actually settled down here."
"Yeah...this woman...is really scary."
After digging for a while, Nanatsuki Koshimizu stopped and gasped: They actually dug such a deep pit just to bury the body.
You are a physically strong man and both of us have been digging for so long. It is hard to imagine how much effort Sasaki Reika put into digging this pit.
And isn't she scared of living on a corpse every day? I'm having nightmares just thinking about it. Is this woman a pervert?"
"But I have to say, this is indeed the most cautious and least likely to be discovered method."
Tang Ze said, "She dug a pit deep enough to bury the body, and also used lime. She was probably afraid that the smell of the body after decaying would attract other people's attention.
Although this woman is a hostess, she is definitely smart.
If the other party had not suddenly disappeared, I'm afraid we wouldn't have investigated to this point.
If she were to live here for ten years or so, whether she dug up the bones and threw them into the sea, or lived here forever, I'm afraid she would have been able to conceal this murder."
While the two were talking, they were digging a layer of soil mixed with lime, and as they dug, a foul smell gradually came out.
Finally, when the two dug up a huge black bag, they stopped.
After simply confirming that there was indeed a body buried below, the two men decisively moved away from the pit and called the local police station, asking the local investigation department to take over the murder case.
As for the subsequent identity investigation and other work, they are naturally responsible for it, and Tang Ze and the others only need to wait for the results.
Because it was a murder case, the local police station arrived quickly, and soon several police cars were parked at the Sasaki family residence.
This scene also attracted a large number of passers-by to watch, and the small group of "mom friends" that Tang Ze had previously visited for investigation were naturally among them.
However, Tang Ze and the others did not call them. After all, the body they found had obviously nothing to do with them.
Afterwards, the forensic doctor examined the bodies and determined that the body below had been dead for almost half a year.
In addition, they found a driver's license on the body.
This is undoubtedly good news. With a driver's license, you don't have to go through the trouble of investigating the identity of the corpse.
When the body of this person named Nonomura Takao was sent back to check the database, it was discovered that the other party was also a guy with a dirty background.
The other party used to work in a securities company and was a senior executive, but he embezzled 300 million yen of the company's public funds and ran away, and was wanted by the police.
Later, the whereabouts of the other party were never found, and the police even believed that he had fled abroad.
Before embezzling public funds, the other party would go to Roppongi to spend lavishly every day. That was when the two met.
Later, when Reika Sasaki found out that Takao Nonomura was an embezzler, she killed him.
He then quit his job and became a translator, guarding the body until it was discovered by Tang Ze and others.
