The local police station began investigating Reika Sasaki's experience as a hostess to see if she had any relationship that led to her murder.
Nanatsuki Koshimizu watched the criminals leave, then looked at Tang Ze and said, "Let's just wait for the results, right?
Judging from the current situation, Sasaki Reika's disappearance does not seem to have much to do with the "mom friend."
"There was something that just happened that really concerned me." Tang Ze said.
"The last time we came here, I remember there was a flashlight here." Tang Ze pointed to a cabinet next to the room, "But it's gone now."
"The criminal must have used it at the time and then took it away."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu speculated, "Let's just ignore this. What should we do next?"
"Let me buy you a bottle of champagne." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"So, Detective Karasawa, you still think this matter is related to your mother's friend?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu said.
"At least we need to find out who bought that bottle of champagne and why it was broken there."
Tang Ze said, "After all, it's such an expensive bottle of champagne. The person who bought it must have a purpose."
"Okay, I don't mind if you rush to buy me champagne." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with a smile, "But where should we buy it? Have you found a specialty store?"
"There's one nearby. I checked it out yesterday." Tang Ze walked out: "Let's go and take a look."
The two drove all the way to a liquor store, and after showing their photos, the clerk quickly recognized each other.
"I remember this customer. She specially bought a bottle of 2000 champagne," the clerk said.
"Did you specifically choose the 2000 vintage champagne?"
Nanatsuki Koshimizu followed Karasawa out of the store, carrying the champagne packaged by the clerk. She shook the champagne in her hand with a puzzled look on her face and said, "Why did they specifically buy champagne from a specific year? Aren't they all the same?"
“As for a specific year, it’s usually not because the wine of that year is particularly good, but because it has commemorative significance.”
Tang Ze said: "Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. I remember Madam Yuanxiang said that her child seemed to be having a birthday soon.
That means Xiao Lu seems to be almost five years old."
"So you suspect that the bottle of champagne was given to Xiao Lu?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu reacted.
"That's probably the case," Tang Ze said as he walked. "But if you ask rashly, you probably won't get any answers."
"Take the fingerprint from the champagne bottle and verify it."
Nanatsuki Koshimizu thought for a moment and said, "If this bottle of champagne was really given to Mrs. Yuanxiang, even if the fight between the two broke the champagne, there should be fingerprints of both of them on it."
"The champagne bottles we brought back are already being examined by local scientific research institutes. Now we just need the results."
Tang Ze said: “What we have to do now is to try our luck and call the local police station to ask them to check the situation at Mrs. Yuanxiang’s house.
Also, let's go to the park and see if we can meet Xiao Lu or other children."
"What do you think the child will know?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked as she took out her cell phone.
"No, but at least they're being honest in what they say."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Besides, we have no evidence to confront Mrs. Yuanxiang right now, and the investigation will take time. We might as well try our luck."
"I understand." Nanatsuki Koshimizu shrugged and followed Karasawa to the park.
There were children playing in the park, but none of them they had seen before. After waiting for more than half an hour, they were about to give up when they saw Xiao Lu walking towards the park while taking pictures with his mobile phone.
"I'm so lucky to meet the real boss." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with a smile.
"Considering that Yuanxiang gives him a cell phone every day, the chances of him going out alone are indeed higher."
Tang Ze said this and walked towards Xiao Lu and greeted him with a smile.
Because the two of them had visited Mrs. Yuanxiang's house before, Xiao Lu also knew their identities, so the other party was not afraid of strangers.
"Xiao Lu, I want to ask if Aunt Guangzi talked to you while you were having the barbecue?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked with a warm expression.
"Yeah, I did say that!"
Xiao Lu nodded and gestured, "Aunt Guangzi said that she can buy me anything I want on my birthday.
But when my mother heard this, she came over angrily and said that we should not take other people’s things.”
"Very angry?" Nanatsuki Koshimizu frowned when she heard this, not knowing why Mrs. Yuanxiang would react like this.
Logically speaking, even if you don't want others to spend money on gifts for your child's birthday, you should be polite and it should not be associated with anger.
So in this situation, Mrs. Yuanxiang's anger was very subtle.
"Xiao Lu, I want to ask, did you take pictures with your mobile phone while you were having the barbecue?" Tang Ze asked while looking at the phone in the other person's hand.
"Yeah, of course I did." Xiao Lu unlocked his phone and pulled up the pictures: "Look."
The two of them leaned over to take a look and found that Xiao Lu didn't take many photos, and most of them were with friends.
However, when they turned to one of the photos of a mantis and saw the remaining color in the grass, they looked at each other and quickly enlarged it.
"I see." Seeing this, Tang Ze's face suddenly showed enlightenment. He looked at Xiao Lu and said, "Xiao Lu, where was this photo of the praying mantis taken?"
"After I came out of the bathroom..." Xiao Lu said in a baby voice, holding his chin, "Because the mantis is cool, I took a picture of it."
